 SfR--in the .4rkGHsas GaSeHe, of this week, with no little surprise, l saw an ar ticle purporting to be copied from the Florence Gazette, Ca Clay paper''l of the 18th ult. in which 1t is said l was tlse Clay candidate in the late contest for Delegate to Congress from this Territory. Such a statement has not tue least foundation in truth; as those yno know me best will req dily admit. The error has probably aris- en from the scuriIlties of the GazeHe pend- ing the late canvass. Be that as it may, it's insertion in that paper, without com ment or explanation, as regards myself, was both iasiduous and supe ererog atery, and as respects the Territory, an act of fragrant injustice: inasmnch as 1t exhibits large proportion of the people in false .igit ;o t.io nation, iii a political point Of view.

 There is not an individual ID the Terri tory, who tor moment believes, that ot the four thousand five hundred votes at the late election, upwards of two thousand were Clay men

 Please insert the above in the Advocate obt servt. BEN DESHA.
