MR. WILLIAMSON'S CIRCULAR.
We have received a copy of the circular
of George Williamson, Esq., the Democrat
ic candidate" for Senator in Caswell, against
Gov. Reid's Free Suffrage. We do not now
think it necessary to publish this document,
He "slays the slain" humbug, with spirit
and vigor; and has declared that he permit

grounds, and to permit Gov. Reid to place

Notwithstanding the formal and positive
acceptance of the platform by Genera ,
Scott which pledges him to the support
and enforcement of the Compromise, in
all its bearings, in as strong' terms as the
language admits of there are to be found
Democrats who still insinuate that the no
ble old veteran is not sound on the ques

that it would be decidedly unsafe for the
people of the South to repose confidence
in him. ; . - ' r 1

character had trained the admiration and
friendship of us all, we hereby express our
unfeigned grief at the premature death ot
one, whose superior abilities would soon
have made him conspicious in his proies
sion, and whose social qualities had made
him beloved by all who knew him.
We also deeply sympathise with his pa
rents and relatives, who have thus sustained
so severe and unexpected a loss: and hope
tlmt "thev - have found consolation in 'he
thought that it was ordered by ah allwise
Providence, who does every thing for our
good.
In this dispensation of the Almighty, we
see another proof of the uncertainty of life,
and the certainty of death, from whose
stroke, neither education, t;!cnt nor youth
can delend us. .. , . ...
