the case tvith thoughtless young men, has mistaken the dale of M'Carty's letter, and that instead of the 1st of June

it ought to appear to be dated the 1st of Uctober. 1 wish to take no advantage of his thoughtlessness; but yet, in some unguarded moment, he might blunder upon a worse vote in Congress, (should he be elected,) than he pretends to think. T gave, in the case of Penelope Denny. However, to be serious, (if this matter deserves seriousness,) it does appear, that I must have written General Noble's letter of recommendation, at least seve ral days after I had written for M'Carty: yet Mr. Smith boldly ventures to say, in defiance of truth and his own evidence, "that I pretended to be recommending M'Carty specially, while at the tame ti fun, had previously recommended Gen. Noble in much stronger terms." So much for his candor in this respect, lie is equally uncandid in saying that Gen. Noble was understood to be a candidate for Congress, and that I recommended him thus highly to get him out of my way ; and the letter to Judge Mount will give the lie to his assertions, unless he will contend that I wanted to get him out of my way likewise. The following is a copy of my letter to Jud;e Mount. . u Brookville, October 8, 1825. "Sin. You have no doom betu informed of the death or Mr Lazirus Noble, the receiver of the land office at this place. My friend David Mount, i. an applicant to fill ihe plsc.f rendered Vacant by his death. Judg- Mount h -.s long been a resident of this country, and has filled during the time, some very important public stations, i3 a gen'lmn of unsullied character, veil acquainted wit!i 'jusiness, and every way julified. to discharge the duties of the office to which he aspires; andshoold the appointment be conferred upon him, I am pr?UHdfd, it would met the universal anpr'lati ' of the people in this .quarter. I tan further say that if good moral ch waster, strir.t integrity, and honesty in public and private life, gtvt- claim to public favor, no man 1ns higher cltinn thn the Jufige."' It will be seen, I think, that the above letter, is in as strong terms, as Gen!. Noble's. 1 likewise gave one to Mr. Ross Smily of Union county, in pretty much the same terms.; a copy of which, I have not. Mr. Smith say? he had publicly made the above charge on me, in several pla ces through the district; now 1 can assure Mr. Smith, I never made a charge agtinst him since he became my competitor for the seat in Congress, except, su -h as were involved in, and absolutely connected with my defence of his numberless little filthy charges against me. I never was guilty of such meanness; and J can assure Mr. Smith, that such a course, would so injure a man's character and standing in the councils of the nation, as to render him almost useless to his constituents; for such things are generally as well known at the capital of the Union as at home, where they transpired. Again, Mr. Smith pays the people of Brookville, a very poor compliment un less he can make it appear, they are all unfriendly to me; for he says, my bad conduct was no secret in the town; now, if Mr Smith tells the truth, every man in Brookville must have known that I had acted basely towards M'Carty; and yet, strange as it may appear, I believe I can snfelv say, almost every citizen in the town (the McCarty's excepted) is my friend ; and can further sav to Mr. Smith that the citizens of Brookville have as high claims to' respectability as he, or any of the lirm: and who would not wink at baseness sooner than they. Mr. Smith has produced a strange kind of paradox, wherein by proving too little, he proves too much; because he ilTirm, that my conduct towards the M'Carty's was no secret in Brookville to any one; yet, in fact, the people of the town are friendly to me; it follows of course, that where my conduct is best known, it is most approhated, and, therefore, must have been 'correct. Asrain: Mr. Smith proves that the people of this district, generally, bc -

licvc him not entitled to credit when he'ru-,,, ,rl M'whirh I b.ivo reniifstpd :

speaks, for he says, he had made his 'charge against me through the district; and, that the people had thought it false and intended to injure me. Now if the fact exists, the case stands thus, Mr. Smith voluntarily trumps a tale, which eveiy hod y thinks false, and then turns about to scalp me, because the people will not believe him. So much for Mr, Smith's candor in this respect. f.t t cis now examine the course the Company have thought proper to liic. It will be found, that here U not only the "intregor''' and ihe intregee'' but the "operator"' i;tid the 'upcra ieeiV Abner M'Carty op rates upon Enoch, and Enoch upon Smith, who becomes their Hon Quixote, (not to operate upwn a windmill) butunonme. I am to fall a victim to their joint operations: 1 was not disposed to join their holy alliance; I must therefore, be immolated Here let me observe, that as the whole company have embnrked in the same ship, they will be carried quietly along with the same breeze, or driven fur-ously by the same storm, & engulphed in the same vortex: they cannot be separated. As they have all of them, (Smith not excepted,) bv a combinntion and joint eil'ort, endeavored to injure me, 1 shall feel myself at liberty to use the act of any one of them in my defence. If, therefore, I can m-ke it appear, that any of them lias asserted a falsehood, I shall consider it as applying to the whole company Let us then ei amine E. M'Carty's statement first, and if he does not place himself in the predicament of the two Thieves w ho itole the meat. I think I shall convict him of a falsehood; and if I convict him of one falsehood, I shnil claim to have his evidence set aside altogether. He holds out thr idea in his statement to Smith, that, he did not know I had recommended Gen. Noble until after I had left this place for Washington. Yet Gen. Noble declares that after obtaining my tetter of rtommeadation, he informed Abusr 11 Carty

jon the same day that he got it. Enoch says, 1

promised to do as much tor ADner as Mr. Jennings did. I presume he means by that, I promised to recommend him only; because if they had insisted upon me doing the same thing that Mr. Jennings did, 1 must have written a second letter to defeat the first; for it is evident, byMr. Jennings letter, written to Mr. Rush, that Knocb, or Abner, or both of them, asserted an unqualified falsehood, or that Mr. Jtnoings has; and 1 am not willing to believe that Mr. Jennings would do so under any circumstances, and more especially, when writing to one of the departments of Government. Let U9 see how the two statements stand. Enoch M'Carty says, 1 promised to do as much for Abner as Mr. Jennings would; of course 1 coutd not tell what to do for him, unless I saw what Mr. Jennings would do; and yet, Mr. Jennings in his letter to Mr. Rush, dated "Oct. 5th, 1825, says, representations have been made to him, that Judge Test, a Represcn tative from this state, had written a very pressing letter to the department over which Mr. Rush presided, or to the president of the United fice of Receiver in the Brookville land district and the Hon. William Hendricks, Senator from Indiana, would also write in favor of Mr. M'Carr J'S.U-C': "prewnt.tiona be incorrect, or hall be found incorrect from the Is iters received by the irovernment, 1 would respectfully suggest the propriety of authorising Robert Hani. a, Ksq(of Indianapolis, to which place the land office has lately been removed) who is the Register, to employ borne p-rson to transact the business of Receiver until time be afford to enable a more satisfactory appointment, than perhaps can be made undtr 6uch circumstances s will be arising, if the representations alluded to, shall be found incorrect In this letter, Mr. Jennings tells Mr. Rush the secretary of the treasury, "that representations had hem made to him, that 1 hud written (not that 1 would write a very pre ising letter in favor of Mr. M'Carty.' Now a u ill appear evident from Mr. M'Carty's statement to Smith, that whoever made these representations to Mr. Jennings, told a down right falsehood-tor f declare, i have written no letter in favor of Abner; and Enoch admits the fact, by saying, 1 was to do as much for Abner as Mr. Jennings would"' of course I must see what Mr. Jennings would do, before I could know how much 1 had to do, or what I had to write for Abner. The neit question is, who made these false represen tations to Mr. Jennings? (lor they are false): It is evident, it must have been Enoch or Abner, or both of them, because, it seems they were made at the time he wrote tft letter for Abner, and were the cause of his writing that letter; he says, it whs represented had written, and Mr. Hendricks was to write, hence it was before Mr. Hendricks wrote; and if I mistake not, Mr. Hendricks' letter in favor of Abner is dated the same day, or the day following Mr. Jennings'. Now, it is not likely, Mr. M'Carty took a stranger with him to tell a lie for him to Mr. Jen nings, and if not, he must have made these false representations himself; and as 13 not unlikely, carried a letter from his brother Enoch to Mr. Jennings, which likewise contained them. That Mr. Jennings intends to fix it upon Enoch or Abner, is very evident; tor he tells Mr. Hush, "if those representations should turn out tube incorrect he wished him to authorise General Manna, to employ some one to do the business of lieceiver until a more satisfactory appoint ment could be mide,"- thertby, clearly intending to impress upon ihe mind of the Secretary of the Treasury, that Abner, or some of the f mily, had made these representations; that he was tearful, they were false; and if so, he hnd belter wait until ?. more satisfactory appoint nent could be made than Abner's: saying in -.ubtance, that be suspected him for telling a falsehood; that if it were so in fact, the appointment of such a man would be vtry unsatisfactory to the government. As to the falsehood ol t e representations alluded toby Mr. Jennings, a solitary doubt canr.ot for a moment be now en-tertuiru-d, for 1 never had written such a letter as he spes-ksof, either pressing or otherwise; nd E. VrUarty's statement to Smith admits the fact. I shall leave the people to decide, which tells the falsehood Mr. Jennings or the M'Car ty's. I am very sorry that 1 am compelled to believe that either of them would do so: I m, however, compelled to suggest, that it might be very convenient for the M'Carty "a to inform nr. Jennings, that I had written a very pressii letter for Abner, as an inducement for him to do the sme; and at the same time, back the pro position, with the assertion, tht Mr. Hendricks had promised to do so likewise: and if they would represent to Mr. Jennings, that I had written a pressing letter for Aoner, when in fact I had not, it would not be a difficult thing to tell nr. Smith I had promised to write one (or him, or indeed any thing else. I say, it is evident, that a man, who will make one false sUiettint, will another, and no confidence ought to be pUced in his representations. Another piece of uncandid dealing on the part of M'Carty towards me, appears in that part of his statement, in which he . ., , e presented me with Mr. Jenn ings ,

letter lor my concurrence: me irum oijpioytd a man to follow it, and overtake it; tha.

the matter is, he presented me w ith three letter? from Mr. Jennings; indeed he presented me with a number of letters, all of which he wished me to concur in. 0nc 0f those letters was directed to Mr. copy from Abner M'Carty, and which he refused to give me; therefore, 1 can quots it only from recollection. But I vouch for the correctness in substance. It stated about as follows. 4That Abner M'Carty was a man of numerous and respectable connections, and that the wri ter was solicitous the appointment should

be made, not more on account of local,! Smith and the M'Carty's, and not with me: i than general politics." If, however, myj!'. Abluer h? lo?1- oiHc"' 11 is Useable 1 t . ',. .. J I himself or his friends, not on me.

statement is incorrect, itu jir. iu tari) rive a copv of the letter, and it will speak for itself. 1 was not willing to attach myself to the numerous family connections of M'Carty, or to the tail of any political junto; nor was I willing the appointment should be made solely for political purposes, I therefore, placed it on the ground of public good: Hence the qualification in my concurrence at the foot of Mr. Jennings' letter, which Mr. K. M'Carty so much complains of. And above all, why docs not the McCarty's by their agent Mr. Smith, publish all the letters in the case, which Mr. Jennings and myself gave? It is plain, it would not answer their invidious purpoEnoch M'Cartv in his statement ses. to Smith, says, that Abner would not have been an applicant for the otlice, if I had not promised to recommend him: the truth of the matter is, I refused in the first place to recommend Abner at all, and Enoch declared if I would not, he would be an applicant for the oihee

himself, and asked me if I would recommend him. Let us see now, w hether it was by my uncandid dealing towards Mr. M'Carty that he lost the otlice. I need say but little on this part of the subject, as Mr. Jennings' letter of the 5th of October 1825, settles the question completely. He tells the secretary of the treasury in substance, that if I had not writtena pressingletterin favor of Abner M'Carty, before the date of his, that he had better wait, till time should enable him to make a more satisfactory appointment: impeaching Abner, in language, which could not be misunderstood, with making false representations to him, to filch from him a pressing

letter in his favor; Mr. Rush could not jhelp but see I had written no such prcvi - ,'ous letter, because he tind s i had onlv (concurred in Mr. Jennings' letters after they were written, Sc thai fthe reprc - enta - mclltioilcd by Mr. jcnllincrS a, made

to him were false as suspected. Hence, jter to destroy his reputation; am J not Mr. Rush must have concluded, that the jequally as guilty as though 1 had alterappointment of Abner would be very un- ed his bond, to rob him of his money? I

satisfactory; and it would indeed have been a piece of madness in him to make it. Here 1 would beg Irve to rmaik, that it has been usual to recommend many persons to an offi e, and leve the Hepartmt nts to decide upon the meriu or claimi of the applicants I have always thought it would be mort consistent for each member of Congress to recommend but one; but 1 have through courtesy and importunity, yielded to the practice, because, if I refused, I was told, why other members do so, and why do you w hh to be sii gular? tr.d it w ulu be set dow n agaiiist me as a piece of obstinacy rather than a correct course: liesidcs,ii we wrrt to adept such a course, it would be said, tfut the san e confusion to the departments would follow, as does, when mny are recommt ndt d; because in that case each member, perlups, would recommend his own friend, and the department would be as much at a loss to deter mine upon tiie merits ot the applicants, a

when n.ny are recommended. How ever, in th, " "just knowingly, and willingly, and rlflibercase of the lieceiver fur the Urockville district, 'ately too, have suppressed that portion of tho

I adopted & principle, that 1 would recorr.meni: no one, unless he would obtain a recon.mtndation of the mfcjorny of the members from thi slate: and I pursued the principle undeviat io ly: 1 requiied it of M'Carty and (General Nol. le; they complied with the terms, or 1 would not have recon, mended them. Mr. Jennings am' sir. f lend rick recommended Ahntr M'Carty, Mr. Hendricks and General James Noble recommended Judge Mount, Hoss Smity, General Noah Noble and Major Cjy of Wajne count); these were all 1 recommended for Vi appoint ment. Enoch M'Carty, also, says, ia his statement to Smith, that Abner and myself came to his office soon after the death of LuzaTus Noble. That is true: Abner on the dav Mr. Noble died, came duvvn to Messrs. Hra kenruige's. mill; 1 wes in company with Mr. J arm's S. CoaUcott, he called me out and informed me, that Mr. Noble was dead, and asked me !o recommend liim for the office; 1 told him he was in a hurry, and I would do nothing in the afl'air at thattim; and remarked to him, that his early application wouio be censured. He left me, and 1 returned agai:. to where Mr. Coilscott was at wxrk, who remarked to me, that he knew what Abner's biisi ness was, and 1 think, remarked at the tuxnt time he was in a hurry. 1 think I did not let him know Abner's business. In the afternoon as 1 walked from my house down to the towi., Ahner fell in company vith me, and as-ked rot, if 1 would go to his brother Enoch's .fiic , it. at he wanted to see me. 1 v.cT.t with him, and v. hilt thtre, I consented that if Abner would obtain the recommendation of two other members of Congress I wouid lecemrntnd him; and he start ed that night. 1 mention these things onl) to repel the insinuation in E. M'Carty's Mattmtnt to Smith, that 1 came to his office voluntarily; it was at the request of Enoch himself, as siateo to me by Abner. Mr Noble died on ihe i9ih of September last; Abner returned, 1 think on the 3d day cf October before day light in the momiug; Enoch M'Carty called me out of bed. I rose, and was getting ptn and paper to wnu a letter for Abner, when it waa saiggesU d bv Enoch or me I do not know which to concur in the letters he had. He threw down several for me to concur in. 1 did not lik; the phraseology of one of then:, and concurred in them in such a manner ss 1 thought correct; and in the qualified ttirajs mentioned by E M'Carty, putting thappointment on the ground of public good. Mr. E. M'Carty, I believe, did aak me, if that cor.d; tion did not weaken the rtques ? 1 replied, by asking him if hs wished the appointment if inconsistent with the public good? he smiled, and said not. 1 cfrered to write him a separate lett()Wards lhe over nightf tliat lf. em. oe was ooubtlul, it 1 took time to write sepa rate letters the mail could not be reached, b which means be would be thrown a few days Datk; at;d was fearful, the app iincment wouid be made btfofe the recommendations arrived at the department. So, that if tin-re be any ful' in tire manner of recommending Mr. A. M'Carty, it originated with Enoch and not with me. To have concurred in his letters without such qualification as appears, 1 could not; & he would not give me time to write separate letters. 1 think from the whole ot the case, and I can provt every material fact (as I have the documents.) which 1 have alledged; and I know I can prove much more if necessary, or if the comp;.nv should think proper to deny the facts suted: From whence I draw this conclusion, that it there has been uncandid dealing it was with and on My letter to Judge Mount, who was never talked of as a candidate for Congress, gives the lie to the assertion that I wished to get Genl. Noble out of my way. If that had been my motive, I never should have hazzarded the giving of the J ud;e so strong a letter of character as I did, particularly, when I knew that IIr. Southard, the secretary of the Navy was.

his special friend, and one of the cabinet. , were general letters; but lately Mr. E. M'CarI havft evidentlv nlaced thn claims nfitv has told me he thinks mine special. As to

Genl. Noble, and Judge Mount, on that .. r. of character alone, avoiding every thing like a special request for the appointment. And, here, let me notice a fact in this ailair, which ought to eternally disgrace every actor concerned in their publication. It will be seen, that in my letter to the President in favor of Genl. Noble I say, I refer you to my letters of last winter, respecting his epialificalions for public employment; my sentiments in that respect have not changed; thereby, clearly excluding all idea of a special

request for his appointment, by referin

particularly to his qualifications for public employment; Sc 1 say,'-in that retpect" (that is in respecttohis qualificntions)my sentiments have not changed." Now mark ther baseness of Mr. Smith and his coadjutors! they to make my letter to Noah Noble appear a special letter, have ubstituted in their publication, the w ords vu that sit bject, instead of in thai respect, thereby, endeavoring to make it appear, as thoM referred to the subject oi the General's appointment for Marshal and not in respect to his qualifications. It should seem, as though they were will'in? to be cuiltv of a former v to make it Innnnrtr. ihnt T hnl tiuinA :i I'.lsfhnnl And I would ask, if any person, w h o jwouid )e guilty ot basely altering a man lletter, lor the purpose ol destroying his reputation, would not just as soon, be ! guilt y of altering his bond to pick his j pockk ? Suppose I altered a man's lot am more guilty. The oftence in either case ought to lake a man's ears. 1 have no hesitation in saving, that if Mr. Smith had not been concerned in the fact of altering my letter, he would himself, as Prosecuting Attorney, contend most strenioujdy before a court of justice, that the crime of altering a letter to destroy reputation, deserved to be punished as severely as for forging a bond or a note. Let the honest community now Jud$;e, whether Mr. Smith has been governed by motives of public good or not. I excuse the printer, I presume tie knows nothing about it. Nay, would ask in conclusion, if Mr. Smith has exhibited to (he public that honesty and candor, which he has openly avowed, I have not; when testimony, which tends to contradict his a?sertions; to explain away the transaction complained of, and to enable the people, to whom he has appealed, to pass a righteous judgment upon my conduct? A witness, I have always understood, is hound to tell the ivhole truth, and nothing but the truth, as well for as against the accused. If he swerves from this ru!e-if he expopes every thing on one side of the question, and designedly t-uppresses material matter on the other he violates, to all intents and purposes his oath; he misleads the judge; he occasions injustice to fall on the innocent; and forfeits his character, as a man of truth and integrity. Whether 31 r. Smith has dealt similarly by me, I leave the tribunal before which he has arraigned me to determine. I am charged by hin with want of candor in a particular transaction; &. how docs lie prove it? 1 answer, by publishing Mr. Jennings.' first letter, $ suppressing his second one; by spreading before the public rny letter to General Noble, not in it- original language entire but by substituting different words, admitting of a different construction, and never muttering to the winds even the existence of Judge Mount's letter, or its character 15y such means, and sue!) only, has he attempted to establish his charges against me. Another remark, and I have done. Mr Smith pretends he is defending hiu.self: Hid he never made the attack upon me, would he at this time had any thing to defend agaii st? If be has not made attacks on me and General Noble, very different from the one stated in his publication, he is much belied. Hut I hazzard the assertion, that he has; and that it can be proved bv men, who Mr. Smith will not dare to contradict. I shall now leave the subject, and let the people decide, whether Mr. Smith, is defending himself against an at tack, or whether he has picked up another man's quarrel for lhe purpose of persecutin m?. It is susceptible of proof, that Mr. Smith has been harping upon this thing last winter, long before he knew what I had done, or what I had written: and I firmly believe, if he had not meddled with the M'Carty's, they would long since have been perfectly satisfied. The statement of General Noble is submitted without comment: It goes to prove some cf the statements I hate made. JOHN TEST. Froolivillc, Sth July, 1S2C.

These are the circumstances, as related to us: Daniel Fuller, of Georgetown, in this county, understanding that a story, prejudical to his moral character, had got in circulation, went to the' house of Golden, (his father ia-law,) with a paper, wr.tten in the form of a libel, and insisted on two young girls, (Miss Golden's) to sign it ; charg.ng rhein with circulating the report. David Golden, their brother, a youth of 18 or 19, deeming Fuller's conduct improper, told him, F. thai the girls should not sign the paper. Fuller then obsrrved Le would prosecute the girls for slander, and started fur home Golden took his gun and followed him. On coming up with Fuler he enquired it he really intended to prosecute the girls. He said he did. Golden then observed, ! will stop yuu," and immediately presented hisgun, which mist fire. He then tried the guu a second time, when it went olf and wounded F. m trie side. Full.ir picked up a club and threw ai G and ihtn went for his huu.se, where he arrived btfore he fell.

Surgical aid was procured as sooa as possible, but in vain. Dentil, with iron grasp, was fast drawing them to the embrace cf the grave. Uoth expired on th? 15th, in the morn ing, about the same time.
