Fairmont to Newburg Of his own voliion
and without b,ing collected to do go
by any one in the interest CT
Judge Fleming, the democratic candidate
for Governor Of the Sta.e of West Virginia;
thst he desired to 20 to Newburg because
his sense of justice was outraged at the
notorious lies which were being put in cir
culation against Judge Fleming by the
West Virginian newspaper published at
Fairmont and copied in tde Wheeling
InteNigcncer and other pap,rs concernio G
the treatment Of the minars at the mir es,
with which he Is connected, and desired
to set the miuers in that section right on
this subject and show them that Judge
Fleming is, as affiant verify believes and
has reaton to bel eve,
A TRUE FRIEND OF THE MINERS
and all other Iabo,icg men and fully de-
serving Of their support for any public
office.
Afisrt further says that with this yitw
he voluntarily went to the Chairman Of
the Democratic Executive Committee OF
Marion county and conferred with him in
regard To tie mattsr, and the said Chair
man gave him SIS ss expense money TO
make this trip u1on; affi ant says that ht
went to Preston county, which was bis
native nome, and conferred with many o.
his old acquaintauces and friends on this
subject; that SIS was all the morey fur
nished him by any one for or on behalf O
judge F.eming, and that he only fp,r'
81 so of that, and returned the balance Il
said chairman on his return home.
THE LIE NAILED.

reasou to believe that he is the indiv.dus
alluded to in q special dispatch to th'
whe cling Inteuigescer, dated Newburs
November ., 1858, as having visited tina
town in the interest OF Judge Fleming
and brands the statements in that dispatch
that he had rolls Of money to use in Flem
ipg's behalf, ss an unqualified lie II
fact, affisnt says that the whole dispatch
except the mtre fact that he was in New
