AD THE
In tho last issue of the Hoanokk
Nkws, there was letter up. mi the coo
duct and usefulness of the- Inferior
(! nut of this C'liiuty which wc published
with the f.ill.ining continent :
The letter of our correspondent "X"
eqials anvthinj that has appeared since
the days of Junius, aud while full of
silid seise ni I be found rather amusing
to read.
xlw paragraph, at,d '.ho letter to
which it referred seem,, to hato stirred
up in an unusual ik-gree the oils of
Spier Whitakcr V.sn , the s ilicitor of
the Infe i 'r Court. In tniblislipg the
comment and the letter ire did not sup
pose it would cut so close under the
skin of the S ilicitor. We had been
taught t tej; rd public oil! ri-rt 01 pub
lic priiprrly and tlx ir ntlkji.il acts as
tu'ject for It'jitimnto cri'.icHin, mil Mr
Whitakrr, hi.nsolf, in his speech, admit -ted
the tnuh of every thuge id kK: by
' X," except the one ulleging lh.it tlie
couit was formed for the purpose of
convicting the commissioners, and we
did not suppose this charge was in
tended as serious. Hit it seens that in
opening our olurons for public discus
sion of public ollicers we have
iovoked 00 our innocent heads the
anathemas of Mr. Whitakcr, and we be
lieve if he cauld command eunuch fol
lowers in Halifax county, or eliewhere,
that the liberties of the press would be
numbered amon; the things that were,
lis denounces this paper as imbecile,
corrupt and unworthy of the confidence
of the people, because it will not j in
him in a crusade against defendants,
that as yet he has failed to convict on
five bills of indictment r.i lie himself
admits. Wc hao been taught by our
bill of rights thit every ciiiz;n was in
titled to a fair trial, nt the hands of a
jury without prejudice and unbiassed.
And wh it could h;ive justified us in de
nouncing these m io, on four of the bills
of indictment when a jury o their coun
try and Mr. Whitaltrr himself hat said
that they were not guilty.. If Mr.
AVhitakei'j theory of running a nows
puper be the correct one, thin the pres?
of the country Instead of being a seoti.
nel on the notch-tower of Liberty be
comes a snare to the feet of the weak
and the innocent, aud its b.iasted privil
eges have do? onerated into license. Th
proper place for discussing thrguilt or in.
nocci co of a man under indictment
for crime is in the Court
Home after a ju y has been
mpamiellcd, where they roij make their
defence and not in a newspaper's col
umns, where the evidence must be
one-sided and not under oath. Thit is
tin f rm designated by the C institu
ti in aud laws of our la id. T.i secure
this privilege, milliois of Kiglish speak
ing people have died. With that de
cision we are content and s i f ir as we
are concerned there it shall remain. Mr
Whitaker further clnrges that the com
roiiiioiiers arc the d irhn pe s of fie
lIuAxoKU Ni.ws.hefurgotslhit whan this
p:ipur was denouncing J unes 1', O'llir-,
as u negro carpet-bii'gcr. H, Mr. Wnita
ker ai:dthe said O'll.ira werch ibnobbiiig
t igether clietk-bv j iwl, giving p iiriotic
adice to tlio people of this county under
the social and afTjoliunato appellations
of ".rim" and "Spier."
Another charge made by Mr. Whita.
Iter against the Uo.vnjkk Ni.ws is that
$ 5o a he indicted the Comurssi in
ert the Niws attacked him. This
chirge is simply filse and whan Mr.
Whitaker made it, he simply lie '.
So much for the attack-up n the Sr.w i.
Let us see now huw Mr. Whitakcr
stands.
At the meeting of the magistrates of
this county held 00 M nd ir I ist, the
occasion was sought by M. Whitaker
to convince them that the S, ilicitor was

it was announced that a failire t pass the

Sjlicitor, the resiljii.ini were reluctantly

Oar opinion on this subject differs from
that of the Secretary, am we are unabla
to see how ho obtained the numbers s 1
accurately when there was no division
bad, and no roll called. We d 1 know,
(bat a motion was made t lay the res
olutions on the table, ou which motiou u
division was had and it only failed by
two votes, and we do know that the
maker of the motion to table stated,
that be withdrew bis opposition, to the
resolutions on account of the threatened
resignation of the court and Solici

It seams it ui that the letter of "X"
Mull have been tiswered without abuse
O1" this paper, and wa regard it as un
fortunate for the honor and dignity of
the court rnd Solicitor that those
charges were not specifically met.
Unon Mr. Whitaker asktfd Mr
Batchclor, of this paper, for the author
of the "X" letter, and when Mr. Hitch
elor refused to give it, then be mad
himself persoually responsible. Mr,
Whitakcr is a m m of sufll;ic:tt intelli
gence to know this, and to know that
Mr Bachelor is still responsible. Mr
Whitaker has a substance to fijht, why

Our late political triumph, especially
iu this part of our Stato, has a high
significance in our estimation. Think
of it iu just two counties, .Northampton
with her late solid Hidical maj irity of
10Q in round numbers, returns to the
lower Hiuse of the legislature by a
Democratic 01 a j uity of 133, ooe of her

inarched against an immovable phalanx
that outuumberod them by more thun

only to suffer defeat, if a fair cou;it can
now be had has returned to the Senate
that veteran ol the Old Guard, whose
name is cooped with praise by all who
eer mention him, J J. ,,,,
licoiLr. What a glorious tri
umph? What a fruitful victory? How
came it abuttt? What does it import?
Never was contest so Tairly waged,
never was there so little of political in.
triguc or art or trickery or demagogue .
ism. There were no appeals to ii.fi mie
the baser passions no money to cor
rupt the wcaknii promises of future
reward to entica those of easy pUUic
virtue. In the county or Northampton,
there was teally 00 canvass from the
hustings but men mot each other by the
wayside, in the fulls and workshops,
and talked the oritur over free from al
political excitement, nnd the result was
a change of one thousand votes and
more in that countr. That staid and sturdy
sect, the (j lakeis, who make up a cots
munity of several hundred in our midst,
who have heretofore conscientiously and
almost soli lly voted the Ridical ticket,
CiOifl in q-iiet processi m to the polls,
and change! every man, his vote to the
aid of the ciuse, whosi truth had been
sluwly demonstrating itself to their
consciousness. 0 .lored ennn, who had
heretofore come Ko the preciucts on the
day of election with the wild fre zy of a
Trench mob were seen to reason to
gether, in groups, with quiet faces, and
then with firm aud steady baud to cast
in their Democrtic ballots. And so the
noiseless battle of reason against trror,
of patriotism against power went on
until the grea'. victory was wona vic
tory thai is not roe decikWe in its no
litical than grand in its moral aspects,
bocause it demonstrates clearly to our
minds that the iron age of fierce paity
and color hatred is giving place to tho
goldon era of a belter felig between
all parties and races of our people, and
that bere.st least in this our section.we
the white and the colored people may

TO THK IM'.OI'I.K OF HALIFAX
VOl' S TV.
Fim.i.ow.Oitizkns : In view of the
enthusiastic reception and support met
at your hands in my late short, but
brilliant canvass, for a seat in the Senate
of the next Legislature. I annot with
hold from giving you through the public
pres, an expression of my most sincere
thanks for this additional evidence of your
confidence acd esteem.
Entering the contest as I did, without
perhaps, duo c iiisideration nnd the
necessary preparation, to combat the
muny dillkullies, it was reasonable to
suppose I should have to encounter,
with a disorganized party behind me
whose confi lence from cm stint defeat
had nearly been doslroyetl, and having
to contend against one of the most pow
erful and thoroughly disciplined organi
anions to be found in any country. led and
directed by a staff of able, active, euer
geiic, and detrrmiued leaders, made
ointment Irom constant success, it wns
not to be supposed that my brisf cam
pnign of a little over five days could re
suit io anything short of disaster, its ter
uiiMalnin, de'eat his oocu sucn as was
under the circumstances to have bueo
a iiticiputed.
I have fallen I'Vllow-cilizms, the
ponde-iHis wheels of the moving Juger
nnut have rul ed over me, but 1 have
fallen, sword in hand, proud und confi
dent even iu defeat, h:ie in my hum
bio way single-handed and alone, made
u gallant ktrujgle, a splendid campaign
I have lei a fori .rn hop?, ngainst tre
mci.ilou-. I may say overwhelming d'fti
cullies I have imtdc a breach in the
Koli I ranks of the opposition and have
fallen at i'.s c trance, and although my
pulitical sun has goon down perhaps
lorevcr, its declining rays have lighted up
the pathway to almost ccrtai 1 success,
for the democratic party not far off in
the future.
In making this campaign, I have borne
up, and canied forw ird the Democratic
standard, wkh a pr ud determination.
to increase if possible its brilliancr, and
in no way to tarnish its lustre; I have
had to lower it, Fellow-citizens, but I
have been compelled to do so for want
of the necessary support in the face of a
poweiful and victorious enemy, but no
shads of dishonor appears on its surface
or clings to its b irders even in defeat.
I have gone forth amongst the people
not na it were, with "banner, brand, and
iw," exciting and engendering dissen-
tion, hatred and animosity, by passion
ate relerence to the past or plooinv
forebodings for the future, but on the
contrary have everywhere endeavored to
hold nut the olive branch of peace, re
conciliation and harmony, and have in
every way tried, earnestly tried, to soothe
and quiet the storm of political discord,
that lias raged so disastrously to our in
terest since the war. I believe I have
succeeded, it may be only partially. I
am well sntisfied however, from observa
tion that my course has met the hearty
approval of the mass of the people, and
that I have in no way, thus compromised
the dignity, the honor nor the principles
1 me ileni'icralic party, nor have I in
any way, given reasonable cause of
Hence, to either the leaders or followers
( the opposition from whom I am proud
to say I have drawn a lioeral share of
niv support.
I have no where set myself up as the
chosen, or even the favorite leader of
the democratic party, but have in my
humble way earnestly advocated and
sustained the justice of its clajmi and the
purity of its principles. I have at no
time identified myself with any private
political rings, combinations or cliques,
if any such there be in existence. I have'
made the canvass as an independent
candidate, and my defeat can in no way
damage or r fl ct upon the party with
win.in 1 am associated. The time hm
arrived, Ivllow-citizens, when there must
bo reconciliation, political reconc::ation
amongst the penple of th's county, or
we ure ruinea, irretrcivablv ruined : wo
must abandon, and bury political hatred
and prejudice, and come together, not as
par'.isaus, anxious to promote our indi.
vidual interest, but the interest of our
whole country. We are as it were, a
stranded, dismantled ship, rolling upon
the bosom of a stormy ocean, with no
welcome coast, nor cheering light, on a
friendly headland in the distance. We
cannot alf ird to allow ourselves to re
divided or distracted by doubts or di.
senlions, but we must come togethrr,
wc must pull together, or we shall never
reach a secure anchorage in a port of
safety. And if we will do this it will ni t
be long before a brighter day will dawn
upon us.
I he people are everywhere becinninp
to thii.k for themfii Ives ;the pernicious io.
(1 icuce of patty leaders which has hereto,
fore been so ruinous to our interest, like
dark clouds are passing away ; and al
though the humble flag of j! JJ Z illicof.
ler in this contest has been made to trail
lowly in the dust, J hear the thunders of
the tempest, faintly dying aay, and I
see the white plume of peace and pn S
perity towering far op in the future.
And now Fellow citizens, iu coi elusion.
allow me to tender to you, and each of
you. regardless of color, regardless of
party, or paiiy olllliatmus my most sin.
cere, heartfelt thanks for the flittering
support received at your bands. The
sympathy or the people has been witb
me, and ilie principle of harmony I ad
vocated every where. The democratic
party, has done all for me under tha
circumstances that Could have been ex
pected, and I am grateful, more than
grateful for their co-operation ; but I beg
in all kindness, in passing, to be allowed
to say to them, don't fur Ileaven'a sake
don'?, longer permit the fouudation of
your strength to be sipped by .indifTer
ence, personal jealousy or political envy.
Vu are strong aud powerful, when uni

I have received from the Republican
party firm and active opposition, but I
am prond to say nothing but the most
respectful cuuitesy, and I believe in
many instances, sincere sympathy. And
I here lake nccasioo to publiclv acknoml.
edge tbeir kindness, especially that of
the Wen, through whose instrumentali.
ty alone I was enabled at many places
to address the people. I am under
lasting obligations to the colored people
of this county as well asmy white friends
for the promptness aod zeal wi n which
they have rallied to my support. I know
ibe sneers, ridicule, and perhaps insult to
which you have been compelled to sub
mil, because of your friendship for me
on this election as well as on many other
occasions. I thank vou yes I do, thank
you, Let me assure you that you have
no cause to blush or be made ashamed
Vou have only asserted your independ
ence and maintained your rights as free
mer, and no one has a right to abuse or
make ynu afraid. And although I may
never appear before nm again in a pub
lie capacity, I shall ever carry with me
a grateful remembrance of the readiness
and firmness with which many of you
stood by me in this campaign.
To thus who voted against me, and
thnre who calmly stood by and allowed
the engine of destruction to pass over
and crush me, without extending a help
ing hand, I cutuitain neither prejudice
nor resentment, nor have I a single word
of reproof. Ism crushed nnd broken
