We see letter in the last Register, from som,
whig in Haywood county, giving an account o
whig doings up there He says the Hon. Mich
aei Francis has been nominated for the State Sen
ate in the District composed Of Macon, Haywood
and Cherokee The Honorable! "Angcls ant
ministers of grace defend usr' From whcnc,
did he derive his title ? But we forget: il is
part of the whig creed TO bestow upon their too
titles, however little they may be merted. Blu
the same writer says Squire n. w. WooDF1N
has been nominated in the Senate District Of Bun
combe and Henderson. Why not put Hon. tc
his name, too2 This is a downright insult 10
Squire Woo66n. He has right 10 be al least a.
homor0- Il a man Francis although he may
not be as great an adept in certain practices.


But the same writer further says: -,


"Gov Graham's majority over whoever our
opponents may run as their candidate, will not be
less than 1000 in the Counties Of Cherokee, Ma.
con, Haywood, Buncombe, Henderson, Burke.
Rutherford, Yancy. Mcdowell, and Caldwell"


Wen mark that prophecy, and bet the writer
will be about as far from the truth as he was
when he dubbed Francis [" Hon." He goes on
again TO say:


That gallant champion of Wing prime iples,
the Hon. Thomas J.. Clingman, is true 10 the
Wing cause-all you hear, or may continue to
hear, to the contrary notwithstanding. He is a
thorn in the side of Loco Focoism, and a terror to

Won't that kill Saunders and Henry when thew
hear h2 We hope some friend at Raleigh will
prevent them from scing the awful paragraph
But MIR. Clngman is a whig, whatever NAV be
SAID to the contrary That was useless asser-
ton of the writer's. All know he is no democrat
and we hope he never will be until he rcnounces
his abolition principles. "A thorn in the side of
Locofocoisml" We guess he has been the great-
est thorn in his own side. But please Mr..
ClIngman,, don't tcrrify Messrs. Saunders and
Henry to death. Do don'tl
