have always respected him for being

bis status as Hamilton supporter was
well known. 1t will therefore be APP
parent to the meanest understanding,
that there was no necessitg to approach
him with any proposition looking to adj
ditional support for the Western Mary
land candidate. Therefore, when, after
the withdrawal of Mr.. Groome from
the Gubcrnatorial contest, the Hon.
Hiram Mccullough, Mr.. Hamilton's
most ardent Cecil supporter, in the
presence of several other gentlemen,
one of whom at least is now in the
town Of Elkton, asked Mr. Hamilton
"what Western Maryland would do

Cecil delegation would now support
him for Governor ?" Cor words substan-

piled that Western Maryland would
give a bugle blast for Miller" We do
not pretend to say whether Mr. Everist

wil(ully or actually treacherous. Why

tons support of Mr.. Miller upon the
condition named, which no one will be

Immediately communicated to the three
other Cecil delegates, and which was

of it), and not heard by Mr.. Everst,

he complacently remarks in his letter
that No such offer, nor any thing like
it was made" Let the general public
draw its own conclusions as to the ac-
curacv of his published statement. If
Mr. Everist saw proper to play the role
of political ostrich on that occasion,
and thrusting his head under his wing,
foolishIy imagine that others lacked
hearing, because his own feathers muf-
led his car-drum, ordinary modestv
would suggest the propriety of his
qualifying his denial by adding-"so

A brief but expressive epistle to his
Bourbon brethren, fresh from the fist

furnish for the asking, would, in our
judgment, prove much more interest

literature than his recent epistolary

it. Mr. Clay claims to have done the
