"The last North State Whig publishes a
most infamous libel on the county of Edge
combe, Charging hai an extensive conspi
racv existed here to defraud Mr. Stanly of
ltis 5 election.' We know not how to treat
an article so? utterly void of truth, so reck i
less of honor and fair Mealing.- It purports
-to v be written in Edgecombe .and signed
br "One of the IS1 Edgecombe 'Whigs. V
We doubt very much whether Edgecombe
whigs, had any thing to do with it but un
. til its, authorship is known, most injurious
amputations will rest on some.of themv it
' is due to the innocent that they should not
' suffer. It speaks poorly for the prospects of
Mr. Stanly, when his friends are driven to
such despicable resorts to sustain him,

he received such a gibbeting from the peo
ple of Edgecombe that it will haunt.him
tto his grave. r
; The. statements and appearance of the
article in the Whig condemn it so' clearly
as an imposition, that we are astonished
the Editor should attempt to palm it off
on the public, dressed in capitals and para
ded with a grand flourish; leaving it very
doubtful whether the imposition has been
practiced en him, -qt whether he is tryin-gj
to practice it on the ptiblic.'
The whigs hare indignantly disclaim all
J 1 i. ;
connection with it,and we don't believe a,
single "One of the -76 Edgecombe -whigs"!
did or would write such a disreputable let-'
ter. No man should he allowed to assume
a name which may implicate all his asso-

his assumed, mask, . that others may e
punished, it is a cowardly act and de-!
