David S. Reid to W. W. Holden, Esq. Standard
July 3, 1850
Reidsville, June 24, 1850
Sir: The Raleigh Register of the 22d instant, in relation to my nomination, and
my vote on the Bill to establish a Territorial government in Oregon, applies the
following language to myself and the Democratic party:
"Yet they ask the people of North Carolina to cast their votes for a man who surrendered
their rights and honor and opened the citadel to free soilers and abolitionists—aye, to
sustain David S. Reid, whose name stands recorded upon the journals of the House of
Representatives in favor of the same Bill with the Wilmot Proviso shining forth as its
most prominent feature! What a monument of infamy to him is this vote, and what a
moanument o( inconsistency of Locofoism is his nomination!"
Now I pronounce the charge that 1 have at any time or in any way voted for
the Wilmot Povisio, as utterly false. 1 desire this architect, who intends to erect a
monument of infamy to me, shall be branded with his true character, that the
public may understand him.^
