Our distinguished countryman and old acruaintahce, Major General HARRISON, arrived iu this place on the lUh instant. THE BUBBLE BURST! The paper printed at Charlestown in this State, has been particularly hostile to Gov. Jennings. It is true its editors have punished correspondence on both sides, but the heart or purse was against him. Judge IIolnarcwas announced as a candidate for office, i'i opposition lothe Governor, and, as usual, the faction began to ring the changes on his talents, integrity, and thousand other tTameless qualifications for business. About two months since, Dr. McXamse, the then editor of the Indiana Centintl, very rational!) suggested that the nomination was rut authorised bv the Judge.' tie had not declared himself to the public, nor given any intimation to hi fellow citizens But he had Kit the intrusive puffs of a faction ; and he paused and hesitated and equivocated, to gee whether these puffs would operate on his popularity " like the breeze which sweeps the Orange Grove," or the deadly siroc from the deserts of Africa. It was troublesome vacciiation, in critical moments ! He was convinced at last, of a self-evident fact. That Jonathan Jennings is so rivpf, d nil the rood opinion of the people of

Indiana, by the simple operation of gratitude,

Then what is the course of the pruuent Judge Hoi man f We adopt the words o. his late advocate, for the answer : " After suffering Ins name to be going the rounds of newspaper publications tor two or three months, at this advanced period, like a man waking from a trance, he proclaims to the pcoplethat, he has no pretensions to the Offer." He withheld his disavowal till it could carrv astonishment into the ranks of the faction who announced him : if vhe had other motives than we have mentioned, they are hi own : let Ins former friends obtain them if thev can. It is a just remark, that toe greatest ambition entirelv conceals itself, when it finds that what it aspired to, is unattainable ; and it is freshlv brought to mind by this conduct of Judge Holmau. He was convinced of the fact, notwithstanding the artifices of the en. vmies of the Governor. He knew that the people would cling to their friend.--He knew that the outcry raised against Mr. Jennings, originated with foreign emissaries or postate citizens; and that it had no otner effect thin to make themselves odious and detestable, and probably, by way of revenge for their duplicity, he suffered these unworthy characters to follow and applaud him for months, and, like an Ignis-fatuus, he plunged them, head and cars, into tlie bogs of chagrin and bitter disappointment. From the Indiana Intelligencer. Charlestown, la. June 10. A letter has been received in town by the ast mail from Judge Holman, stating that he inot a candidate for the office of Governor.

ISAAC KIMBALL. Cynthiana. May 24, 1H9. V-rt CYNTH1ANA, May 5, 1819. To lhe Public. I am credibly informed, that my Wife, SdliJH KIMBALL, has been engaged in trying to calumniate A . I A 1

my pnvare cnaracter, anu endeavoring to induce the Public to believe that it was thro

my improper conduct she was compelled to

leave me. If she has done this, I pronounce her charges to be entirely false, as I am able to satisfy the world that I have been atten

tive to business, and soberly and frugally engaged in trying to make a support for

my family; but from the wicked and jealous heart, and devilish disposition that my wife is possessed of, and the insinuations of some

inhuman people, she was induced to leave me, and go with others.

These (to avoid dilation) are facts which I am able to establish to the satisfaction of

the world ; and should it be required, I believe my neighbors would take a pleasure in offering to the world a certificate of the above facts. Respectfully,
