A Young Democrat Tells Col.

Editor of the State Ledger:

/ see an article In the last Clarion,

which it is sought to create the i'm.
p. ession that some injustice has been
done Col. Singleton, and thus make
the good old man q martyr. This is
u regular "pure gold' dodge, and
"ths more you rub it" the thinner it
becomes.
Justice to the facts and the record
makes it necessary to say, that Col,
Singleton stated both verbally and in
writing, some Of his letters now be.
ing ex,ant, in his last canvass for
Congress, that il elected that time
without opposition, he would not be
q candidate for re election. Ofeourse,
all candid people supposed that he
meant by that declaration that he
would not be in the race this fall.
Quibbling on words and phrases will
not do with men who hate falsehood
and love the truth. We do not be-
lieve that Col. Singleton can afford
to allow the "desr people" to force a
( candidacy on him this time, and we
think We know him, and We shall not
believe it until it happens, that he is
capable Of breech Of faith equa. to
that involved in his candidacy for
Congress this fall.
We all know, and he knows, thst
il is solemn twaddle about the peo.
pie being so anxious for him; II he,
in good faith desires it, and asks it,
az he promised that he would do, the
people will allow him to retire. We

horse" who has shaken hands and
smiled, ana smiled and shaken hands
on his way to Washington for the last
half century, and who has walked
over the course like q cat walking on
a blanket, making no noise and leav-
ing no track behind him. We bescech
the people to give Col. Singleton a
rest. Call from tho ranks some one
of the able, young and faithful sol
diers who have SO long borne the
heat and burden of the day, and who
have done so much more for the cause
of good government; who have en-.
durcd so many more hardships and
privations, and have fought SO many
more battles for the Democracy than
the pampered old fossils who have
enjoyed monopoly of the "loavcs
and fishes" of office ever since the
war. We would not be understood
as intimating anything in disparage-
msnt of the long and jealous public
service Of Col. Singleton, but there
must be an end to all things. Even
"spring would be but gloomy wealth
er,if We had nothing else but spring"

new as Singleton's candidacy for
