SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1828.

7- We are authorized to announce

Dr. JV. . Torfo as a candidate for

Coroner at the ensuing election.

rWe are authorized to say that

John Payne is a candidate for election as

Coroner, at the next election.

Since our last we have seen and con

ereed with Mr. Daniel Plummer on the

subject of his nomination as a candidate

for the legislature, and are therefore

enabled to state, that he is not and will

not be a candidate at the ensuing state

election. In making this determination known, justice to Mr. Plummer and respect for his friends, requires of us to say, that the principal inducement to the course he has adopted, was a knowledge that by suffering his name to be used as a candidate it would have the effect to create much division in his township; an event he was not willing to produce,

if any personal interference of his could prevent it. By this declination his friends are left to choose from among the candidates before them, those best calculated to do them service; and whose success may be most calculated on as the result of greater concentration.

We have on tile several communications, in relation to Mr. Plummer's nomination, which his refusal to be a candidate renders unnecessary, if not improper, to publish.

Through some mistake the name of

Mr. Basselt did not appear in our list of

candidates last week until about one

fourth of the papers were worked off. We make this remark to satisfy those

who may have got those papers, that the omission of his name was not intentional, and that it was inserted so soon as discoved to be lacking.

Moses Dawson versus Judge Test. We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, having witnessed, with feelings of indignation, an impertinent attempt by a public journal of another state, to interfere in our local elections, by the dissemination of as base slanders as ever

emanated from the Press, deem it our

duty, and the duty of every honest man,

to warn our fellow citizens against such

gross impositions, by which the credulous part of the community are deceived

and led astray.

A certain Moses Dawson, editor of the

Cincinnati Advertiser, or some person through him, having made a scurrilous and ungentlemanly attack upon the public and private character of our highly

respected fellow citizen, Judge lest, by

And surely too, this disciple of St. Patrick would not lie! Let us see

how ms statement accords with the itself. We give it entire:

It ought to be borne in mind that at the en suing election, a vote will ba taken by the elec

tors in this state for or against a convention to revise and amend the constitution. At the time each voter gives in bis ticket and name,

be will be inquired of by the judges ".Arc ycU

in favor of calling a convention or not?" to this

question it is of much importance that he should be ready to give a prompt answer, not only as

respects a proper decision, but to facilitate the taking in of the polls. Let no one go to the

court House, or place of electing, in doubts on

thtssubjfct. There is yet time to make up a

decision, and we hope each voter will do so

previous (0 the first Monday in August While on this subject however, wc wotrld remark, that we think the present rather an inauspicious time to decide upon so important a measure. The minds of the people have been so long agitated on the presidential question

that little or no attention has been paid to those

relating more directly to state afFtirs. In fact

0 little has been said about it, there are many who have yet to learn that tbey will be called

upon to give a vote on the subject of a conven

tion. Under these circumstances, it perbaps

the father of all lies stand back abashed,

it becomes our duty promptly to repel them. This duty is rendered still more

imperious, oy me lact mat a long cala

logue of names has been furnished the

editor, and a profusion of those vile pub-

icauons ordered for circulation in this

Congressional district, for the only ostensible purpose of affecting the election

of Judge Test, and promoting the cause

ot his competitor. Gen. JU'Cartv. It

will be recollected, by the most of our

citizens, that at the last Congressiona

election, a charge was got up against Mr.

lest, and used with considerable ettec

gainst a bill, allowing a stated yearly

pension to the Widow Denny, the mother

ot a young man belonging to the U. S. 7 K I Ml 1

navy, wno was Kiuea in a crusaae against the pirates. The same species of

persecution has again commenced the same base, unprincipled measures are again resorted to, to effect his political

ruin; the same gnm-visaged monster (the Widow Denny affair) has again been

brought forward, connected with anoth

er of hideous aspect and distrustful mien. He is now not only charged with voting

against the just claims of a poor and friendless widow; but, to cap the climax

or his inconsistency, he is also charged

wun voting away, at the same time,

J 15,000 of the people's money to James Monroe, without the shadow of a claim.

These lies, with many others of as black a hue, have been manufactured, (where and by whom we know not,) put in circulation through the Advertiser, and are now trumpeted by a thousand slanderous tongues, through this Congressional district, for the base purpose of prostrating

the political standing of a long-tried and

faithful public servant; but we have rea

son to believe that a candid public will

act with discretion. We will here copy the paragraph containing the

two charges referred to aoove, and did

we not know that the country was al

ready literally deluged with Dawson's papers, we would present the whole article, for the purpose of exhibiting to what lengths the violence of party strife, and personal enmity, will carry men. The following is the extract: "This gentleman has been already in Congress, and has acted very much to the displeasure of his constituents Mr. Test voted

against the pittance allowed to the widow Dn-,eller, married the second daughter who

the United Slates, by which an expense of about 2,0C0 was incurred."

V e will not pretend to say what agency Mr. Test had in procuring this appointment, nor what degree of criminality should be attached to him, had he been

the sole agent in procuring it. We onlv

cession of lies and calumnies; and as well might we attempt to follow the sinuosities of the devious lightning so ranid is

These indeed were but few, since its confinement from such an early period of its existence, and the great change in the mode of living hadfailed to tame its in

nate ferocity, or to subdue its Jove of

freedom. It refused all food that was not warm from recent slaughter, and seemed, by its occasional low cry, expressive of discontent, to lament it lofty eyrie, and its unbounded flight through the fields of air. It betrayed pleasure at the sight of its rearer, and answered when he called it "Jack;" it would even take food at his hand, though a stranger

entunng to approach equally near, might have severely suffered for such temerity, its power of wounding both with beak and talons, being immense. Its

A .Distressing Accident occurred on Fat-River, in the lower edge of this county, on the 9th inst. A child of Wm. Wooten, 16 or 18 months old,' was left, by its mother, on the bed, supposed to be asleep, while she was absent for a short time, in the performance of her domestic duties. It appears that there were 2 beds in the room, on one of which the child was laid, and on the other its

sister, a year or two older; and near the

loot ot the latter bed stood a table, the leaf of which was on a level with the foot board of the bedstead. The child is supposed to have got ud immediately

after its mother went out, proceeded to

me root ot the other bed, and in endeav

oring to climb up to its sister, thrust its head between the bed and table, when its chin rested upon the footboard, and

the back of its head against the table.

and, not knowing how to extricate itself,

ir remained thus suspended, and was found lifeless on the return of its distres

sed mother.
