' Editor Times : This seems to be a father difficult question to settle, if we may j'> ui the last few issues of the Dalton Enterprise, where the heading as above weekly greets its read ers. Where a man assumes to run for a responsible office like that oi Senator Trom this District, it does seem to us 'he ought to be so well known to the people of whom he asks suffrage as not to be driven to the necessity of asking and endeavoring to answer this ques tion, and having to g\.o a detailed per sonal history of himself right in the midst of a canvass. There is no need of asking continually who Col. x.ain is.— Born and raised in Cherokee Georgia, his every interest i i-m fi with the people among whom he lives, ho is known by all throughout the Disttie., and known too, as a man who has faith fully discharged every duty to his peo ple in the publio positions to which he has been honorably called. In the Dalton Enterprise first appear ed an article over the sign-lure of “Democrat,” who in a tempting to show who Maj. Wells was, proved himself either ignorant of facts or guilty ofwilN ful misrepiesentation, and we as “ Vo* tors ” unwilling that our fellow -citizens in the other portions of the District should be thes imposed upon sent to the Er.tevp.iae au article in which we en* deavored to correct the impressions at tempted to be set afloat, and our arti cle, like a fire-brand, we see, provokeg the displeasure of Mr J. G. B. Erwin of this county, who comes forth this week in a manner whicu plainly shows that his stoct of that article “truth has run too low to accuse us of a lack of it when he makes it a ''lamentable fiet that there can be found in Calhoun a.man capable of penning an article so devoid of truth as that of Voters.’ ” We know that article to contain the truth and facta which Wells himself will not deny. Mr. Erwin is glad to ba numbered among the “immortal eight who sug gested Maj. wells, because he knew the voter* of our county chose him to ‘Vo ters’ chosen champion knowing it. Would bring to fever heat ail the bad blood of * Voters’ ’ town or the Calhoun ring.” Mr. Editor, to what *traight B m trtt a man bo driven to deal out euoh slanders as these upon the respectable people of a quiet and peaceable town, in what ought to be an honorable politca) contest? Have the friends of Maj. Wells no iac.s upon which they can bu'ld up his c'aims to the Seuato s * p, that they must so far transce id the limi s of de cency as to seize falsehood and slander as their weapons of contest ? While Col. Fain i# our choice,we do not claim credit for bringing him out. for we know he is the most capable man and the choice ot the voitra of Whi iield and Murray aa well a* our ova -muoty. If “Voters' ring,” says Mr Erwin, “c uid have as they usually have done.gagg-d there tof Goidon county and nominated his chaui pion, it would have Leen all light and nice y lniuey -combed to suithim a least tf not the people; but when eight res' pectable citizens happen to n ee* at a little country store in Fait n*oun\ and dare write a le.te which is partly the means ol presenting (wi'hout * \ iter" endorsement) a man capable, honest an I upright, as a candidate *o represent the 43d -Senatorial District, it is branded as a ring and a ho. id thing.” Here is alander. falsehood and malice, linked to gether iu a u;a*s. We ask in a 1 candor when the people of Calhoun have j ever ‘at temp ed to gag the rest of Goidon county ? or where is the Calhoun ring: th * chain jin of iu-leho and speaks , of? And and and not Mr. Erwin and his friends propose to g..g not only the peo ple of Gordo- e*u*.;y. but also of Whit fi. Id and Murray ecunlios when they at, tempted aloue to -ay ?ho should ivpre lent this District? And now, Mr. Ed- I itor, is slander such as some of Mr I Wells friends are using to outweigh pa HietMu, truth and public worth iu the t selection of our Representatives ? L the voters of this district answer. And now, Mr. Edito*\ we as voters have a right to ask who is this J. G B Erwin ; he parades the military sc complisbments of his candidate, where was he when the poor men of his coun try left their little alls behind them, and trusting to Providence for the keep ing of their families, went forth to dm thousands of whom now fill patriot graves on the fields of Virginia and Tennessee ? Did he show his mar. hood by joining their ranks ? No, he did not, but,making a breast work of his nej> es* lie kept out of the fight, and shared r. t the privation* of his countrymen. Aod now let Mr. Erwin assert that these -tatemecU are “devoid of truth.” Voters '‘VEGETINE.’' miy- a Boston physician, “ has uo equa 1 blood purifier.
