Before In these columns, Ihe JOURNAL , hag commenced on the splendid bullae i character and zeal of Mr. Tompkins, of Charlotte, and congratulated North Car Una, and especially Charlotte la the pos- j session of such a man, who gave en courageineul to home enterprises, tnd whose good Judgment and assistance have been sought In several Bout hern States. Il is by such a man as D. A, Tomp kins, that a State gains in reputation, and not by the political leader who can never get beyond "strict regularity," which is limited to the length that the party whip may reach. The "crime" set against Mr. Tompkins' name which calls for a species of petty blackguardism by newspaper which seek prominence by the pulling down process, is that the gentleman' reputa tion reaches beyond his city' and Htale'a boundaries, ao that the gentleman re ceives an appointment, worthy of bis ability and character, and from the Re publican Administration, the only one which could grant the appointment, tee ing It is at the bead of the affair ot this country at the present time. But the contemptible part la, that Mr. Tompkins must, be-defamed, n.Qit.1 placed in the aame category aa the poli tician whose opinion is ever purchase able by gift or office. To those who would detract from the unsullied character of Mr. Tbompklas, no fling, no mean Insinuation, t too low to be employed. The very fearlessness, the freedom of thought and expression, characteristic of Hr. Tompkins, has made him the tar get for just such slur at the above. It I too much to expect of the promoters of such Ignoble Items, that they shall ap preciate a nu of sterling, worth, one k ho has tought the upbuilding of. North Carolina, and the betterment of bit fellow-man. Il It enough that a mas baa) preserved his Integrity of opinion, and not been afraid to express himself.
