"Mr CLINoMAN, the defeated whig candidate
for eelection to congress from the Buncombe dis,
trct Of North Carolina, has issued n card in ex-
PLANTATION ofthe manner of his defeat The n. Y.
Express says it shows something like foul play
on The part Of his successful whg competiror.'"


Albany Argus.


The Express is mistaken. 1t was tair race,
on issues boldly and clearly presented, and Mr..
Graham was elected over Mr.. Clingman BY whig
and democratic votes. Mr.. Clingman complains
that his successful competitor came out Just be-
fore the electon-the very reason, it seems to US,
why Mr.. Graham's majority was not larger than
it actually was. A strange notion, truly, to COM
plain because competitor for Office has too little
time to canvass District The truth is, the
course of MIR. Clingman on Texas and in favor of
the Abolitionists, defeated him; and such course,
if repeated, will defeat any man in North Caro-
lima. ..-..
