GEN. BYRD's HoNEsTY.-As Gen. Byrd ia mals= ing his business to islander the personal characters of all who oppose his election we take occasion to examine, ttle into Its pretenslons to honesty h this connexion,-we charge that ulter he (Bydj had borrowed as much money, as he could get, from the State Bank prevailed upon late Col JAMES DANLEY, to lend his name, as principal, for some Jiee or sir Hundred dollars and that he failed to pay the debt, according to promise, but suffered an at tachment to be ssued by the Bank against Danley's property his negroes to be taken from his cotton field, and imprisoned for some time, at heavy expense, whilst he (Byrd) with his 20 or 30 hands, was enjoying perfect freedom. We further charge that Byrd made no arrangement whatever ta release Danley's property; that the debt is still un- paid and that suit is still pending, against Danley estate for the money What has this pink of hoaestJ to say to these charges?

 We are far from censurng any man for being in- able to pay his debts for that is a misfortune which atIcts many of the best and most honest men ir the country. But our charges against Byrd involve something very different from this They involve the crime of grossly deceiving friend and ther leaving him to suffer for his generous confidence Il is one form of obtaining money under false pre- fences. Is the man who has committed such an act, entitled to the vote of any honest man?
