The recent attempt of some of the whIg papers to impose upon the public most unfsunded fabrication in reference he proceedings Of Ihe late democra- tic convention in Claiborne, has not only failed in it's purpose, but has been justly stigmatized by the community at large as audacous act. The con sequences of their msrepresentations have reverted upon themselves. Il the duty of the members Of the convention. whose proceedings have been thus perverted for elecioneering purposes not only to sic lence by plan statement of facts, such fallacous assertions, but to expose, by undnubted evidence. the conduct of the whgs themselves, and show that with them he objection to distinguished citizen on account of his being Jew first orginated. lt is known then in Claiborne that during the meeting of the whg convention in that place, members of that convention did not scrupe tn declare, that if Col. PhilIips should he the nominee of the democratic convention and the candidate for congress, he would be opposed on the ground of hIs religious creed, and that efforts would be made to prejudice the public mind aganst him. This said in conversation, and occurred two weeks before the meeting Of the democratic convention in Claiborne. Col. Phillips not having been nominated, for no other reason than that ,he majority of the convention believed Judge Doroan inc most popular individual of those prOpos- ed for nom,nation the whgs still cherishing their preindces against him, have only changed their mode ot attack. and now use hi, name and his religion to serve their rrurnoses-whhhis difference, that in the former case they would have been the persecutors- in this they falsely charge the democracy with having l done what they had in contemplation 10 do thenl- .elves Ii seems they had early made up their minds to seize the occa,on in some way, to aid them in a desperate cause; and they have done so, in man. ner unkind to Col. Phillips -disresnectfnl to the Jews who are quiet and orderly citizens-and the I consequences will fall upon their pates

 l would remind those who endeavOuring tt charge upon the democratic party hostility to Col Phillips for his religious opinions, that tha, gentle man was unanimously elected the presiding dffcer O the democratic State convention which met i, Tus caloosa in 1888. There was not an objection urged against his appointment then.

 1 But, Mir Editor lhe truth of the whole matter i. ths.-The whigs dare not the great potca questions which divide the partes in fair discussn before the people. They have never done this, hu resort to the subierfuge of bringing up false issues t evade the truth and to conceal their own unpopula doctrines. It is for this purpose that they al tempt to direct he public attention from the,r pro tective tariff, ami annexation and Native American ism theories. The peonIe have been so often decev . by their dnplciy and cunning, thai their art have ceased to serve their purposes--and part they are crumbling to the dust throughout lhe south
