I do not blame the printer* who insert the praipea of Mr. James. Bat all most feel some pity for the unfortunate mono, rnaniae for distinction, who hae the bold ness and cool effrontery to brook the Jest and ridicule of the entire people of the Btate by thus pressing himself upon their attention. With the exception of a few, to whom the fidelity of Gov. Smith to the finan cial interest of the Btate ia distasteful,and a few who, without a knowledge of the facts, have complained at his disposition of the agricultural scrip—and now and then a man dissatisfied about failing to get an appointment or contraot, the peo ple are not only for him but support nim warmly. If he had pandered to the mon ey rings that have been gutting the Btate bo long, be would huvo been popular with tho clans that are uning their money to produce opposition to him. Bat in that case he would huve deserved and reoeived tho execration of the great body of the people, w bo are now bis friends and sup porters. He hss puraued the only course open to an houent, faithful and patriotic Executive, who has not only tho ability, but the inflexible will to protect and guard the interest and honor of the State. Gov. Smith has brought to tho tank the Mkiil of an able lawyer, the energy and indefatigable perseverance that has char- nctorizd bin whole life, uud ability to his trust, and integrity of purpoue, which no tuati, not Keeking a pretext to complain, will qucnlion.

Instead of paying you for indooing suoh fellows to oume to New York, I would rather contribute to a fund to help them and ail like them away from New York for all time to come. Yon eay I got my bonds before they were registered. You are mistaken. My bonds wore registered in the office of the Hooretary of Btate, and the records there show it.

Had your reply boon respectful it would have gone with all recollections of you, into the wnato basket; but you soom am bitious of attracting attention and 1 will flatter your vanity by desoendiug to your level for a momont. You sav your bonds were already registered. Then why did ngi*ter them again f Did the law require them to be registered ? If yea, what do you take by your plea? If nay, I ask again, louder still, why did you bxoistkb them? Have you a passion for this sort of amusement ? Then it was a luxury, I brought, to you door, aud for it I demand my wages. You say that vou did not em ploy mo. Thut is true. That you never hoard of me, that is immaterial. Tho question is have I served you? I did. At whose instauoe ? Your friends.

A lovely pink of honor indeed aro you, sir to cdok yourself up to pertly prate about repudiation in the very breath in which you yourself perpetrate that very Rolf-same outrage upon good morals.

The peoplo have had enough of rings, and bartering, aud milk and cider, in bigb places. Smith is a big brained, big heart ed, old fashioned, flat-footed patriot, that came up from the ranks of the people, aud is both in principle und feeling devo ted to their interest; and he will be per fectly safe in their hands. If he were to all the publio men of our Btate—we make no exception—he was tho only one that had the courage and the patriotism to press through tbe threatening hosts of the despot, denounce their outrages and wrongs to their very teeth, aud proclaim to his prostrate countrymen that they had rights and must rise aud defend them.

He drank rather freely, and perhaps was light-headed. Ue started down in Jearch of the “Devil's Cross Roads,” and finding the desoent becom ing abrupt, he pulled off his boots. He had not gone far when he recollects fall ing and scrambling. His boots were found by Master George Jones, with an empty bottle, at the foot of a cedar tree, some ono hundred feet above where Mc Carty waa found. Hence it is supposed that he fell and scrambled together some forty or fifty feet. He recollects leaving his boots there. The acoident occurred about nightfall. It ia doubtless one of the most miracu lous escapee from death on record, when it is considered that death seemed inevita ble from falling down the steep, or from starvation, or that he ahould fall that dia- tanoe and escape without serious injury.

Upon pro clamation of the result to the Southern people, it was denounced as a “new de parture,'' and Mr. Hill snmmarily read out of the Duuiooratic party and into the ranks of the enemy. A howl went up from his enemies iu every part of the Btate, and there was no word in the vo cabulary of invective too bitter to be burled against him. Yet, firm in the truth, he quailed not, but stood manfully of business such that he could not leave he provuilod upon ex-Governor Jenkins, a man of ominont character and ability to undertake tho negotiation, aud foi l liwith it its charged that a broken down politician had to bo employed at a Louvy expense to dischurgo this simple duty. The truth is, however, as I learu from iu- quiry, that Mr. Jenkins did not charge ono cent for bin serviced, whorous, one llonry Clews who, like Mr. James, is a bond monger uud note shaver, churged tho State .^1 JO,000 for negotiating a cer tain loan for liiR friend Bullock. And this reminds mo to ask are not all of Bullock's and Clows’ friends iu favor of James? It is also a part of tho programme that if the emissaries who have been, aud ure now, ho zealously at. work, that if a James delegation ia brought up from their coun ties, nud that JhiucH is nominated aud olectod they can huve anything that they want.
