We promised last wee that IN our pres
emf number. we would publish the vindica-
lion of or deputy Tax Collector, John R
McCarroll. against the charge Of defa'ca-
lion made from certain quarters against
him, but have to beg the indulgence of
our readers for the present. as Mr.. McCar-
roll wishes to get Mr.. Eppes, who is a;
present engaged with the court, to examine
and report, under his own signature, the
whole circumstances of the case. This
community have known John r. McCar-
roll too long and too Intimately, to suspect
for a moment that he would retain one cent
thar was not justly his own; in fact James E
Matthews, himself says. that be "esteems
Mr. McCa7ToU as an HONEST ami woR

ting of the Mechanics Association was
held on Wednesday night COR the purpose
of receiving the report of the committee
appointed at a previous meeting to aft an
address to the people of Marshall, in order
to set the aims and views Of the Mechan-
les in their proper light before them, and
| to correct certain representations con
corning our designs. That report we
shall publish next week 1t embodies ouI
| principles in brief concise preamble and
resolutions The meeting was quite large
and respectable. and the spirit evinced or
the occasion. glorious. A few members
| the association, in shame be il said, endea
vored to persuade the meeting-in the
very face of our solemn pledge not to sup
port any man who would not pledge him
selfto us.--to receive and approve the let
! ters Of certain candidates, who had posi-
lively refused to give such pledge ano
| falling in their effJrts, withdrew from the
association. AS old as we are,it is the frs


time we ever recolect of seeing so small &
minority attempt to govern so large ma
jority We'll. we predict that the associa
lion will lose nothing by such Withdrawal.
Let Mechanics but do their duty. and al
will be ight.
