Mr. Editor and Fellow-Citizen : I have been a democrat for over forty years and am now a very old man, and for ten years I have been what is called a stock-law man, due I do think if there was ever a time when the people of Bancombo would be justified in ignoring caucus dictation, now is the time. I am going to vote for Mr. 1'ear- son lor cue louowing reasons: uHe is a man who believes in let- ting the people settle matters for themselves, ant he does not be lieve in forcing down tho people's throats measures (to which a large majority are opposed), by fraud and force. .Now, as 1 have said, although I am a stock law man in principle, I don't like tbe way: tno law was forced npon Buncombe, and so Ashall vote for Mr. Pearson, ho will see that the measure is legally submitted lo the people (and I shall vote for the no fence law.") and if a majority of tho mm I don't want it, It is said if Mr. Pearson is mean that a ma l ted ,t win jority is opposed to the law, but I don't thiD so, oecauso a great many stock men in this township, both democrats -and republicans, Will vote for Mr.' Pearson simply to rebnke tbe action of the justices, who will when an ejection is proper ly ordered, vote for the law. lours truly, - A Stock law DiaiocBAf.

"; Early, in last summer ? when solic ted to become: af candidate for the Democratic nomination for. the Leg- tne use ot my- name in that connec tion I took pains' to "ascertain the views of gentlemen who have here tofore been esteemed the . leaders of the party, and found them without exception opposed to the nomina tion of either Gen. Jones or Mr. Gudger, on the ground that the nom ination of either, or both these gen tlemen would tend to the disorgan ization of the party by making the 4 1 l 11 ill stock-law the issue T the. campaign, the agitation of which. question could but stir up the worst blood in the county. Among the piominent gen tlemen whom I consulted wasMr. II. A. Gudger, himself, who assured me he was not ' a candidate, would not become one or "ac cept the nomination under any cir cumstances, and that as far as Gen. Jones' candidacy was concerned, lie thought it would be a great mistake to nominate him and that he should do all in his pow er to dissuade him from, running:. For some weeks before tha conven tion met it wa3 an open secret that Gen. Jones wanted the nomination as an endorsement of the "record he had made in tho last Legislature, and that ha would then decliue to make the race, for the reason, as signed to me by the General hims61f, that his candidacy would be Injuri ous to tne party. Again, on tne morning of. the convention I was as-J sured by both these gentJernen that under no circumstances would either of them accept the nomination.

I support Mr. Pearson because I consider him a democrat in fact as well as in name, aud as the ouly man of the three who has proved himself worthy of trust by keeping every pledge made to the people. I support Mr. Reynolds because I believe him to be the choice of the' democratic party and the only man of the three competent to dis charge the duties of the office, and because I believe him to be as tru ly the nominee of the party as Samuel J.
