stuug by the truthful onslaught Of the
l WING AND TRIBUNE, b. r. Boyd turns
upon his friends and Geyours them like a
! frst-class cannibai. Ashamed Of the class
| whose votes alone can put him in Office
ashamed OF the platform upon which his
race IS Undetermined Of the mOngrel
| crowd that have gathered around his ban
ner, he repudiates his only friends and
| sneakngly insinuates that he is not their
candidate. He shrinks from the foul en-
brace OF the monster he has cOnjured; he
flies before the dreadful storm upon whose
destroying winds he hoped TO ride into
office; he denies and Dstrays the negro
race whose sutfrages he surreptiJiously
sought TO obtain, and, like The base Indian,
be turns upon Perkins, Countee & Co., who
had bravely espoused his cause, telling them
that he is not responsible for their utter
anees and that he despises their friendship.

Believing as do, that the sO-ealled -'pri-
mary election" held in this county on last
Saturday, was not voice from the people,
but the work of i few designing men here
in Jackson, got up for the purpose Of iOist-
ing into office personal and political friends,
who never could have reached them by the
usual way; convinced as 1 am, that the
whole thing, from beginning TO end, was
an imposition on the people, and did gross
injustice TO most Of the candidates, I re-
specially decline to abide by its EX PARTE
decisions, so far rs it affects my candidacy
for the office Of Trustee.
There never was, fellow-eItizens, q bold
er, more unblushing scheme TO defeat the
viii of the people Of this county, than the
one carried out on last Saturday. Not on
~ a large majority OF the voters, but near
" all the candidates, with perhaps two or
three exceptions were kept in the dark as
10 the important matters Of time and man
ner Of its execution. L thought was too
old a bird 10 be caught with chat, but
must confess that in this instance, I, in
common with most OF you, both candidates
and voters, was most egregiously fooled.
How many men IN the county knew there
was to be a primary election on last Satur-
day. Not one twentieth. The call, or
rather request of the Executive Committee
to SELECT DELEGATES was published just
three days before, and that too in DAILY |
paper, which probably has not a dozen |
subscribers outside OF the town district. !
The call, therefore, not to elect candidates, |
but even to select delegates TO the Conven-
ton on the 9th, could not have been fairly /
made known.
The truth OF the matter is, the affair Of
last Saturday was purposely hid in the
breasts of the ring who planned it, and was
only impaired to the frieRds of those
whom it was intended to benefit. Many
1f these who voted on last Saturday were
not of this number-they had not been
being present for another pur-
pose, and apprlsed, FOR THE FIRST TIME,
II what was going on, they did all they
Gould to defeat it.
Now, my friends, can you conscientious
, ask me to become a party to this wrong,
" acquiescing in what has been done: A
wrong not only personal to myself, but that
fleets the entire community. What voice
laVr-yUtI had tho selection D your eoyiEl-
y ofIicersi I appeal 10 your cOnseiences,
o your sense of justice, to your county
pride, to your patriotsm-to rise up in the
majesty of your strength and put down
his ring of scheming trieksters who, at ey-
Try election, either succeed or attempt to
leprive you Of the right of exercising your
,wn choice in the selection Of civil officers.
l am still candidate for the office of
trustee, and will remain IN the field until
our o'clock, Thursday evening, August
til, all reports, from any source, to the
contrary notwithstanding.

CERTIFICATES.

We, the undersigned, citizens Of Jack
son, were present ut The Fair Grounds on
the 18th ult., the occasion Of the radical
mass meeting in the interest Of B. P. Boyd.
We read the report Of that meeting in the
Wing and Tribune Of the 10Th ult., and
pronounce it correct in whole and in part.
Mr.. Boyd did speak on the occasion, though
bri, fly, snd the report OF his remarks in
the Wing and Tribune were substantially
correct. After zone Alternately" so styled
by Boyd, had spoken his piece, X. y.
Coun,ce. negro from Brownsville, made
4 speech urging the negroes 10 support
Boyd ior Chancellor, Is their especial
friend. In this connection Couutee said
that Boyd was the friend OF the co!ored
people and his trend. a man 10 be trusted
by The colored race. And as evidence of
this tact COuntee stated that BOYD was sup
porting him for circuit court clerk Of Hay
wood county against his own Boyd'sl IN
Gle, the present incumbent and a candidate
for reelection. COuntee also endorsed the
principles OF the civil rights bill, but said
that he would not urge mixed schools ex-
cept in districts and localities where the
colored population was too small to sustain
separate schools. We further certify that
Couutee repeated that Boyd was support
ing hIm for circuit court clerk against his
own uncle, as before stated. Az this he
uttered in a loud tone of voice. We further
certify that Nj. Boyd was not exceeding
twenty i've yards from the stand when
these sentiments were uttered by Countee,
and we do not beheve that he was even that
far removed from the stand at the time
We still further certify that Boyd did not
disclaim anything whstever that Countee
said, aud that 1t was physical impossi.
bility for Boyd not 10 have heard all that
Countee said upon these points, unless he
was exceedingly hard Of hearing. To all
OF these facts We are ready at any time to
make oath.

To the Voters Of the 1OM CHaHcery
District
GENTLEMEN:
l see portion of my speech as delivered
In Jackson on the 18th inst, and reported
in the Wing and Tribune Is being used to
injure Mr.. b. Il. Boyd, and in order to do
justice to the above named gentleman,
desire to inform the public that alone am
responsible for any, or everything l might
have said on that occasion. Mr.. Boyd
never having intimated TO me that he
would vote for me IN the present election
or use his influence in my behalf.
Yours for the right,
r. n. COUNTEE.
In ell the annals Of time were there ever
such cards published under such circum-
stancesl Boyd came here and spoke as
the Radical candidate for Chancellor. Geo.
G. Perkins announced his coming with
flourish, and proclaimed hun the friend
and champion of the negro race. He came
here in company with the negro Countee,
on the same train, walked down from the
depot to Lafayette aud Liberty streets to-
gether, earpet-bags in hand, and there sep
arated. They went to the Fair Grounds
about the same time and they were seen in
frequent consultation during their stay in
jackson. Boyd's speech was brief and
pOintless. Abernathy's evidently intend
ed to kill time aud allay suspicion, and
Countess for no other purpose, on Gods
earth, than TO unite the blacks on Boyd.
Why was Countee herei He said that he
did not expect to come until the evening
before. Who invited him. Mr.. Jesse ii
Harper says that he knows nothing of any
invitation to Countee TO speak on the occa-
sion. We called upon several of the lead
ing cOlored men OF the city, and they say
that they did not invite him. Boyd says
that he came at the request or his friends
and not at his Boyd's request. Did Per
kins ask HIM to comet Did any Radical or
Republican in Jackson invite himl We
believe not, and we call on Mr. Boyd to
state and prove who invited COuntee to
speak in Jackson on the 18th. The truth
is, Countee was here in Boyu's interest
alone, and If he was not here at BOyd's re-
quest he was here by his connivance. Be
sides, let the people understand that this
negro, Countee, has been speaking at other
places and in other counties, in the interest
Of Boyd. Let it be- remembered, also, that
Countee is a candidate for circuit court
clerk OF Haywood county, and it is unnat-
ural to presume that he would, on the eve
Of an election important to himself, leave
his own county, desert his own cause,
without some greater inducement than any
mere Invitation of friends" So far as
Mr.. Boyd's card is concerned The following
overwhelming Certificates impale him on
hook Of his own fashion,ng, and stamp
Countee as . sycophant.

EDITORS WING AND TRIBUNE:
On yesterday several gentlemen assem-
bled at Mr.. p. p. Transou's milLpond to
try Mr.. J. &. Reid's new seine, made sew
eral unsuccessful draws, but being a thor
ough-going crowd and stimulated by the
shortness of rations at home, determined to
have fish, If any in the country, so set out
en- masse fer Mrs Spiyey's pend. There
our dropping spirits were made glad. At
one draw we caught some twelve or fifteen
hundred pounds-so estimated by all pres
ent-the fish averaging from five to ten
pounds It was not a good place TO draw
a seine in on account Of the great number
OF stumpS. This is a startling fact but ali
tue, am an old fisherman, have been At

but never saw the like before. 50 each one
present selected as many as he wanted.
