THE FRAUDULKN-T- TICKETS.
It Is our habit to allow every man who
thinkt or pretends to think himself wrong
ed by this piper, to be heard through it
columns. We i he re fore publish the annexed
statement of Mr Win S Ashe, which wa
placarded in this nwn on Tuesday last,
and arcimpany il w;ib the answer which
we itntanily made lo il. We well know
that no such justice willbe done to tic by the
papers of Mr; AnheVparty. Theirobject
and habit is to vilify an opponent by pub.
lishing their own one tided statements to the
entire exclusions of the oilier side. Their
purpose is answered when tliey can pervert
the truth by concealing it from their readers.
To that end the North Carolinian has pub
lished Mr. Ashe's handbill without the
slightest allusion io oor reply .""""Will Mr.
Ashe thank the Editor fur so plain ai. ad
mission of (he weakness of his defence?
A we said our habit is the reverse of
this arul therefore we let Mr Ashe speak

place to day your paper of Friday's dam ' was
handed to me containing an account of a Placard
issued by Mr Hale, the Editor of the "Obser

that mad by one whom I alwaya esteemed as
a gantleinan, I have friends in your town be
longing to both of the political potties, and il
would indeed he a sore if flection for nie to sup
pose that this black, ungratelul stigma could
or would be accredited by any one of Ihenv
What arc Ihe true circumstances of this base
act' of villainy"! For the purpose ol exposing;
and making Ihe people mote readily understand
the character of a renlrmplatrd piece of tricke
ry beng practised now both in Virginia and
Alabama, by the so called Whig party I had
three separate Whig Kleotoral Tickets struck
off each without the name of Fillmore, and one
of Ihr three wiih the name of BuMer, foi the
Vice Presidency. These Tickets 1 exhibited
in Bladen and Columbus, and informrd ihe
people that I bad them atruck off for ihe pur
pose of moreeflectua ly putting the people
oa their guard against fraud and trickery. Oa
my return to Wilmington, my ftiend Ml Vesll
of Whitehall, desired lo see them, nnd I gave
thrm lo him. - These ar. all the circumstances
which make op tha -bate act tf villainy," with
the commission nf which 1 am charged by Mr
Hale. Doaa Mr. flat, believe the charge
that he has aroused me nf ".4 ease art of
Villainy." Mr Hale and 1 parted atmy Jl venue
on Ihe Rail Road a Wedoasel 1 1 o'clock,
and when about to " part he approached
meats ftiend and extended to me the hand
of a "ttm. honored friendship," end sin
cerely regretted that it was not in hi power to
stop and "break bread" with me, and in test into
ay of his regard and esteem, urged upon me to
bring my family np and nmki-liiin a social visit,
Yat at that very time his heart overrun with the

of prostrating my character foi the accompli.h.
meat of a political object-

W.M. S. ASHE.
to tiuTpublic.
I have just seen a hsn-Uiill of Wm. S Alite,
which contains some tiuth but mora falsehood
I did not know nor suppose, when I wrote the
handbill from Wilmington, that Mr Aahe himself
fctd either conceived ot had executed Ihta -bass
act o villainy." 1 thought It the "vork of the
Wilmington Joornal only io which Mr Ashe
had to far lent himself only aa to aid in circula
ting thd Itaudulttnt tickets, lie has since con
fessed to my deep regret fnr'I hsd estrmed him
a gentleman) that the whole thing was done
by himself.
1 prononced all Mr Ashe's charge against the
Whigs, ol a 'contemplated piece i-f trickery,"
of "intended foul deception.," and of "conrpira
cjl' as gross lataehoods. There ia not a woid
of tiuth, in them. Tha liickciv aud deception
aie all on Ihe olhrr side.
Mr Ashe writes in litis handbill from Slrick
land's Depot that helred thiee separate Whig
Electoral tickets struck otl-.rach without , the
name of '-Fillmore." In the last Wilminglnn
Journal ha said, "he had three different sjul di
linel Federal ticket struck off with the name
of Fillmore tha Abolitionist left off of whs of
them."
' Mr Ashe does not make nis own story cor
respond from day to Jay. Il is not wondeifol
therefore that he should total 'y niistepresritl. as
I aolemnly declare that lie due the ineidenla
attending bis leaving the cats at hi Avnue on
the Rail Road. It was ht who approached me,
and invited me o his house, (an invitation
which ha vety arifuliy nraiu all alluaion lo7
leaving it lo be supposed that I had voluuttrrtd,
witbont an invitation from him a irgrct thai 1
could not visit him.) I declined hi invitation
courteously and did express, and n-rl a hope
that I thouldsee his family here, for between
his family and mine there has been a lonir
existing and ai scare friendship.

aiiempt Mf Aha otakea loUtaw off the
public nave any cnrrrn
to
make them Overlook the fraudulent
tickets, by making a person) and false is
sue with us. But "he takes nothing by his
motion."
We may sdd to the above, that we should
have been unfaithful to cur trust aa a W hig
sentinel, if we had allowed any personal
feelings to prevent the insunt exposure of
the trick which we saw with our own eyes
and which might have so d aaslrous an effect
on the election, then only a week off tin.
less the most prompt measures were Isken
to counteract iu The Loeofoco papers and
especially the W'ilmioston Journal were
falsely predicting thai . the Whigs would
print ticket wiiheut the nam of Fillmore
on them, thai ih y were afraid to come
1
before the people of NnnJi Carolina with the
name. At that moment we saw such
tickets which were placedin the'hands of
a Lcofco of Bladen by Mr Ashe, a-ul
we Knew irom ibe type that they were
printed at the office of the Wilmington
Journal. The presumption was and ia
mevitiable that they were printed at that
office for a sinister purpote; that they
were to be thown throughout the State at
tickets primed by the Whigs snd as evi
"lence that the Whigs dared not pit v( lie name
of Fi' more on their ticket! anil that thus
they confecsed him to be an abolitionist.
There was another inevitable presumption,
likewise, that an artful pnrty would tend
these tickets as Whig tickets to ihe North,
to excie the, Northern Whigs against the
Southern Whig. How far this scheme,
which tin-body in Wilmington to far aa
wr saw or heard, doubled the existence
of.) wns nipped in the bud by its exposure
we know not though we have an opinion
on that point. Suffice it lo sty the belief
was universal and it was caused by -the
tots or Mr Ashe himself and hit party
papers that these were the objects in
printing -the tickets ia . liut jwcrel way-.
In "this town Mr Ashe s party friends
at first altogether denied ihe farts. But
when ihe facts were admitted some of
them to their rredit he it said were as indig
nam as ihe Whigs at such a trick.
It eertn to us that fur one .who tm petes
to the Whig party of North Carolina, with
out exception of any body, the intention to
prat-tire foul deceptions, trickery &,c, Mr.
A slices unduly sensitive when hit own con
duct is exposed. And it further seems to
us that he takes very quietly the charges of
fraud made at his own door by ihe preset-s
nnd people of Wilmington whili he scitis
all tl a way lo Fayetterille lo find persons
to make an issue with.
As to I be piece of trickery wli'ch Mr
Ashe alleges against the Whigs of Alaba
ma nnd Virginia, there is not the slightest
evidence to sustain it. The Alabama sto
ry rests upon the unsupported statement
of the Wilmington Journal ihe absurdity
of which we exposed in our last. The
Journal now refers to the Alabama Shield
of 28th Oct 1848. V know nothing nf
any such paper, whether il be Whig -or
Locofoco or in deed whether, there be each
a paper or not. But we do not believe
that any really W big paper in AhHiama or
elsewhere hat-done what the Journal charges
We have too many evidence. oflhe Journal's
reckless assertions to put any faith in a
statement made br it which is otherwise
doubtful. We think it flotflitfnt vnoreoven
whether the Journal eonld have received
an Alabama paper of the 28th as early as
ihe 2d in time for its paper of the 3d, It
depends upon what part of Alabama that
paper is printed in, if there be such a pa
per. So alto in regard to Virginia. The
charge nf Mr. Ashe see nis to be that tick
eta for Taylor and Butler were printed by
the Whigs. But that this is not so, we
hsre the evidence now before us in the
following parsgraph from the Richmond
Whig of the SUth nil:
" Tht Taylor and Butler Ticket! Gen llaro'd
Smith, who has met with much ill treatment at
the hand ot his Democratic brethren of the
press for Ihe exercise of an undoubted right
that of lorming his own ticket for the Presideu
ry, informs the public, ia the last Wytheville
Republican that h was not the originator of ihe
plan of publishing tickets for Taylor and Butler
That plan was devised by Thoa J. Boye, Eq,,
the Democratic member elect from 'J'atewell
who in a letter under his own name avows
and justifies the act. Mr Ooyd siys that he
meant to deceive nobody, and we do not see
how the mere formation of a ticket for which
hs could vote, can possibly be consulted ioto-s
fraudulent intention,"
So that the Virginia tickets, like tliore in
tin's State with the name of Fillmore off
were not of Whig but of Lorofoco origin.
1. S. We understand that the above
handbill of Mr Ahe was industriously cir
culated on I he day of the election at differ
ent precincts in the lower counties Judge
Strange even carried it expirst 27 miles
from Clinton to Blues as we suppose from
his having read it to the crowd after he got
there; "Falsehood travels many a league
whilst truth is putting on her boots
The efTVef. however, of this card" may be
seen in the large Whig gains in Cumberland
Sampson, Duplin Wayne, etc But Judge
Strange may console himaelf for his extra
exertions with the assurance, that by read,
inp; the handbill many persons heard it
who would otherwise never have known
nny thing about it, and that probably not
one in ken of them wiU ever see our reply.

Noonday aun had flung her fohlenrayi

in its radiant light ts glancing from house
top to lioure lop etch t'He!lcd object sent
bark with added lustre the glorious beams,
until each street seemed an made of gold,
and every house plated with silver. -But
almost desert nppeated her rich
streets; some desolate gloom seemed to
hanp over her proud people. Silence save
the shap crank of the rifle, the deep sullen
roar of artillery or the dead heavy sound of
theescopet reigned throughout the devoted
city, w ar had done us work her bravest
son had fallen in her defence; battle after
battle had been fottg'ii and bravely cot.tet
leu, almost under her walls. And yet the
enemy were victorious; the place had beec
raptured and the Star Spangled Baner ol the
"Lot Yankees' wared in trimuph above
the National Palace.
Rut the leader of her armies, tbe'indefati
gable San'a Anna, not contented with
having been defeated in five pitched battles
uihler herywalls, had; upon Me - retreatlur
ned looe seven thousand prison convicts
ahdatmed them on condition that they
should keep the American army occupied
for a sufficient length of lime to enable him
to retreat without molestation from her
walls. And they kept their contract: and
as soon as the Americansjhad'taken posses
sion of the place commenced an aggres
sive warfaie upon tbsm which lasted two
days. It was during this scene of blood
and confusion that the incident we art a.
bout lo relate look place; one of the ma
ny which transpired during that eventful
period.
The afternoonof the first day's fig,ht was
drawing to a close as five men, American
soldiers, slowly wound their way up the
Holle dePlaterot," Street of Silver towaid
the "Plaza de la Conttilulun,' Three of
them were dressed in the untforrwof nwron
ted riflemen, the other twin the light gray
of regular infantry. - .
Suddenl,aa they reached the corner
of ihe ttotie eV Palmo. bl icame
wtttizing in Irn'onglhem
of the riflemen in the breast he fell dead
upon the pavement, whille the sharp re
port of a muaket boomed forth - from the
window of one of the houses on the corner
and the tmoke curling np above the window
died away over the roof of lhe building. .
The dead man was brother to one oflhe
s'. feting riflemen who gaging one moment
upon lilt promrane from suddenly soring
across the street, and striking the door
fiercely with the bull of hit rifle shouted,
'Comrades, Revenge!'
A yell burst from their lip as they rush
ed across the street and the two infantry
men applying their muskets to the keyhole
the lock was blown oil by the united ex
