It

will sustain a well conducted magazine ol

The publisher believes that he rfgh'ly
estimates the causes of the popularii
which his magazine has reached. He did
not attempt its establishment withoutiirst
counting the cost and he confidently ap
peals to the former volumes as ev dence
that in the embellishments and in all ihing
appertaining to the publisher's province, he
has not been chary of expenditure.' To
this liberality on his part he believes he
may attribute in some degree the extensive
patronage and favor that have been a Ward
ed to tie Columbian. This course he, will
continue to pursue. In this respeiW the
Columbian shall continue to outvie al I com
petition. Our engravings and "music sh dl
certainly not be surpassecrNi real rnerit

With the aid of these contributors, (of
wnom it is neetiless to say one word in
Lofiinneiilaiion) and of numerous others,
perhaps equally meritorious if less celebra
ted, who have promised tlvir support, the
publisher flatters himself that, as a literary
work:, the Columbian need be under no ap
prehension of'being excelled.
The publisher enters upon anew volume
therefore, ..with expectations of increased
patronage. He has every reason f.r indtil

"Nol Pros Cases."
Certainly no One individual ever was the!
object of such vile and infamous slanders
as myself. Charges embracing a violation
of the whole decalogue, are made against
me, and made with an air of seriousness
and a parade of sincerity, well calculated
to deceive and mislead. Because, in the
capacity of Solicitor, I discharged a cer
tain B. C. D. Eason from an indictment for
fighting, upon his paying the costs, the
charge of a violation of my official oath is
preferred against me. If I was guilty of a
violation of my official oath, because of the
discharge of Eason, every Solicitor who
has ever gone before me, has been guilty
of a like violation. For I venture to as-
e , sert that there is po Solicitor in this State
but who has the power and constantly ex
ercises it, of discharging defendants on the
State docket upon the payment of costs, or
of entering a Nol Pros without costs. The
records of Beaufort Superior Court shew
that one of the Solicitors who preceded
me discharged a man, who had been in
dicted for forgery, the punishment for
which is not merely imprisonment, but
whipping and the pillory, upon payment
of costs. Yet the charge of a violation of
his official oath, was never preferred
against the Honorable gentleman who jit
that time acted as Solicitor and no- orie
ever for a moment supposed he did any
thing wrong, much less committed perju -
ry in what h'e done. Moreover the Edi-
tor of the North State Whig, who is most
busy in circulating this charge, was indicted ' had each summoned some 30 or 40 wit
some two years ago for a libel upon John ' nesses the cases had been standing some
S. Telfair, who was at that time Editor tf two or three terms before they came to a
the Republican, &Iwho was acting as Soji-j trial, so that the costs were veryf consider
citor, discharged both Aim and Telfair up- able. Eason swears that the qosts which
on their paying the costs. Nothing was
then said by this same Editor or by!
any other person about corruption. Yet if
he believed that such conduct amounted
to a violation of my official oath, he
should then have exposed the corruption ( then have said, Clark is a cruel, hard-heart-and
meanness of such proceedings; or is'ed Solicitor he does not'think $301 08
he willing by his silence then to justify
ihe inference, that he is ready to winkat
meanness and corruption, when he is to te
the gainer by it.
Again, the corruption in the case of
Eason is alleged to exist because Eason
was a delegate to the Convention which
nominated me, and it is charged that I dis
charged him, in pursuance of a "bargain"
that he was to vote for me in the Conven-
tion. Eason was a democrat and was in
dieted tor a right with a man ol the name
of Beeman, who was a whig. Now Bee -
man was discharged upon precisely the
same terms with Eason, though Beeman
was no delegate and was most bitterly qp-
posed to me in politics, beinga whig of the
strongest sort.
As to any bargain and intrigue between
i myself and Eason, I refer you to the testi-
I mony of Eason himself, taken on oath.
; When the charge of "bargain and intrigue"
was made against Clay and Adams, we
were called upon to disbelieve the charge,
merely because Mey simply denied its
truth. Yet here is Eason denying a like
charge on oath. Although Mr. Eason is
& , , . i i i
a poor man and does not stand as high as
Clay and Adams, yet the neighbors of Mr.
' Eason, those who have knovvn him for,
years, say that he is a man of veracity, and
. will tell the truth

and J. G.Ed wards, one the Senator; and the
other the Commoner from Greene. Three
more honorable and worthy men do not
live in any community, and they give Ea
son a most excellent character. Well Eason
swears that I never asked him to vote for
me, nor intimated a desire that he should do
so; Jie swears that he never promised to vote
for me or gave me to understand, he should
do so he swears that he did not know
that I woul accept of a nomination. He
further swears that when it was concluded
to drop his and Beeman's indictments, up
on the payment of costs, that it was agreed
to in open Court, in the presence of the
Judge and all the people and lawyers, and
that this arrangement about being dischar
ged upon payment of costs, tvas made be
tween myself and Eason's lawyers, and
not between myself and Eason. And he
further swears that no agreement was ventinn, 15 voUd for1 mc. - My observa

artful and cunning, and in another breath i
would have you believe that 1 am the big
gest fool that ever lived. When they
speak of the manner in which I obtained
the nomination, they say it was obtained
by artifice and cunning; yet when they
seek to prove that Eason and myself were
engaged in a corrupt, bargain and intrigue
they represent us both, as being guilty of
the most egregious folly and simplicity of
making the bargain openly and publicly.
As the public may be concerned to know
why I discharged Eason and fieeman, for
recollect I discharged both upon payment
of costs, Beemaa being a whig, I will
briefly state my reasons. I pursued that
course because I thought then and still
, think, that" the payment of the costs of the
1 several indictments was punishment
enough. For the purpose of running each
other to as much costs as they could, they
he was made subject to pay amounted to
$301 03. If I had insisted that Eason
should have gone to jail, what would my
' enemies have said then? Why their tune
would have been changed, i The v would
is enough punishment for a fight, but he
must put a man in jail, and th&i too in the
spring of the year when he oijght to be at
home working for his family.f
It is represented that Eason 'went to the
Convention,, a strong Clark man., And
yet he swears that he togethej with the
other four delegates, cast ''the unanimous
vote of Greene for Arrington. v
My political opponents are very prodi-
gal in speaking of my private character!
For some seven or eight years previous to
! April 1842, I was" addicted to intoxication.
During that time I am free to confess, that
like all other drunken men, I did many
things which were immoral. Even then
however, 1 did not do one half as bad as
my opponents would now have you be-
lieve. But since the time of my reforma
tion, in April 1S42, my conduct has at
' least squared with the morality of the
, times. So few are the cases in which the
drunkard ever reforms,.! haS claimed for
1 myself, some little credit for my own re-
formation. The well regulated mind will
give me that credit. The man whose heart
is in the right place will cover over with
' , , , . i , . .
the mantle of charity the irregularities of
my former days, and with kindness urge
me to forget the past and look only to a
better and happier future. It is only the
base and infamous who bv constant re -
