A neifrliborincr orint having1 published some stric

tures on Judge Scott's address, calculated, perhaps, lo lessen him in the estimation of his fellow-citizens in this part of the State, without having done him the justice to publish his explanation to the public, we deem it nothing more than fair dealing to give him a column in our paper in his own defence. The address alluded to, as well as Borne explanations since made, will be found below: TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF INDIANA. Fellow Citizens I have recently learned, from a source entitled to credit, that Governor Noble is. endeavoring, in different parts of the State, to promote his election by frequently and publicly traducing ray character. I am nota candidate for office. I am at home quietly and pelaceably attending to my own business. J 1 . 1 . f . l

I have not interterea or inienu 10 mieriere in me approaching election, any farther than to exercise the rights of a free citizen. And why Gov. Noble should suppose that his success can be promoted or his popularity advanced, by holding up my name as an object to public odium, I am at a loss to determine. Could ho convince every man in the state that I have been guilty of the improprieties with which he has charged mc, and even crimes often fold greater enormity, would his capacity, his zeal in

. public service, or his moral honesty be thereby established ? I think not. But my business at present is to repel his slander. It is not true that he has extended friendship to ine, and that I have rejected it. On the contrary, since his election to the executive chair, there has been uniformily, on his part a marked difference between mo and those whom- ho esteemed his friends; and his conduct was so plainly indicative of his feelings that I must have been as blind as Polyphes not to have noticed it. I do not complain of his unfriendly treatment; I have but seldom mentioned it; it is a matter of no concern to me; I have not sought his friendship or rejected it; I havo never wished or expected any appointment at his hand; nor did I ever reject an appointment on account of ill will towards him.

That he has offered me some of the best appoint

ments in his gift, all which I rejected, through il)

will to him, is wholly untrue in fact and hypothesis. He never offered me any appointment which I could have accepted without a greater sacrifice than I was willing to make ; and my reasons for declining was because the service required were incompatible with my other engagements. And further; that when I declined being a candidate, three years ago, I wrote letters to my

friends of different political parties, in some of

which I urged my friends to vote for Gen. Stapp, and in others I urged them to vote for Judge Read,

thus accommodating myself to the parly feelings of

those to whom I wrote; is also wholly untrue.

In that case, it was due to my friends to let them

know I had declined, and the time being short I wrote a number of letters hastily without reserving

copies. I cannot at this time recollect the pre

cise language made use of, but am confident I did

not in any instance express myself so losely as to justify a charge of duplicity. Whatever opinion I

expressed as to the result, was founded on such in

formation as I had received, and was onlv matter of ' mi

opinion. His charge on that score is neither more

nor less than sheer malignity, without a shadow of

truth to sustain it. And I now invite Gov. Noble

to produce any letters of my writing when I will

have an opportunity to stand in my own defence,

and I am willing to bear the responsibility of all they

contain.

But to make an attack at a distance, and without

notice, has something in it so dastardly that the act itself indicates a mind sunk to the very lowest grade

in me scale ot moral degradation.

I have no delight in this kind of controversy; I have not sought it; and I regret the necessity of entering into it; but I have no dread of the result; and after he has done all he can to injure me, it will be seen, that all this flood of detraction is nothing but the foetid spumy overflowing of his depraved and malignant heart. JAMES SCOTT. Charlestons, July 2, 1831.

pectful language, and this is now brought up as a proof of friendship and great magnanimity on his part, and of my inveterate hostility to him; and the true reason assigned by me for declining must, to answer their malicious designs, be considered only as a pretext. The insinuation that I got my information from Jndoo Read, like their other assertions is uncour-

teous and untrue. I had heard of the Governor's remarks before Judge Read went to Munceytown, saw the "Judge on his way to the north and authorized him, should such statements be made in his presence, to contradict them. After that interview I saw Judge Read no more, and had no communication from him, till after my publication was in print. My informants are as disinterested as other citizens, and are entitled to more credit than any man who can condescend to utter and publish such impudent falsehoods as those in the Journal. They speak of my bitter attach upon a man who had never injured me, as a subject of regret to my

friends, and allege that my censures must recoil upon the author. This is all applicable to themselves. They know the attack was not made by me. No friend of mine would wish to see me

vilified as I have been, and remain passive without

an attempt to defend myself.

They have made an unprovoked attack upon me ; I was not interfering with them ; and if they have a

sufficient degree of moral sense lo raise a blush, they must look back with shame and regret upon such an unprovoked and scurrilous attack upon an

unoffending fellow citizen. On my part, I have

no dread of tho result; I have given no provocation;

and I know that my conduct, in every thing con

nected with this controversy, will stand the test

of the most rigid scrutiny.

Contention is at all times unpleasant tome; and more especially where I have to contend against such unfair antagonists. I hope I shall not be compelled again to notice them. As they have charged Judge Reed with bringing on this contention, I will only remark in conclusion that in several years acquaintance with that gentleman, I have never found in his conduct, any tiling inconsistent with the character of an honest, honorable, high minded republican. JAMES SCOTT. Chaileslown, July 22, 1S34.

Cholera in Madison. Two deaths have taken place in Madison this summer, which have been pronounced, bv some, cholera cases, and but two.

The first that died was an old infirm woman, Mrs.

Olds. She had been several days unwell, and while in this situation indulged in eating blackberries. She was attacked with dysentery, which in its termination resembled Asiatic cholera. The last was a man about thirty years old, Mr. James Ferrell, a dray-man. He had been employed in hauling water from the river. For several days he

had been unwell, but continued hauling until the

day ho was taken down. In filling his hogshead

the previous evening his horse became entangled

in the gears, and in freeing him, Mr. Ferrell went

into the water, became wet all over, and came

IF, AND HIS PKOCEXY.

TO THE PUBLIC. Fellow Citizen of Indiana : I had entertained a hope that Gov. Noble would have had more respect for himself than to have attcmped to raise himself by tarnishing the character of a fellow citizen; but having heard that he was using my name in a manner which i thought unfair and ungenerous,

I considered it due to my3elt to repel some of his charges. The editors of the Indiana Journal have taken it quite in dudgeon that I am not delighted with the glory of being kicked by their favorite. The article published in their paper of the 12th inst. on this subject, contains such a combination of ridiculous absordity and unblushing falsehood as is seldom to be foud in a public Journal. They commence by saying that tny publication contains a bitter and unprovoked allack Upon Gov. Noble, and that the time chosen by me shows evidently that my object was lo operate on the pending election. Now those editors know well, and it is known to hunJreds besides, that this is all misrepresentation and falsehood. I have neither chosen the time nor made the attack. If Gov. Noble li3d not chosen to make the atlack, and chosen the

time too, my name would not have been seen nor my voice heard on this subject. I had no wish to operate on the election, and have not said or done any thing to justify or excuse such a charge. I mentioned that I had learned that Gov. Noble bad publicly traduced my character in different parts of the State. ' Without expressly denying this fact, they undertake to shew that it could not be true; because Gov. Noble had made but two electioneering trips . one to Log3nsport and the other to Munceytown. Now I would like to know of those sapient editors, whether Logansport and Munceytown

are not different Darts of the state ? To which of

those towns was he coin'? when ho was in

Bartholomew and Johnson counties? On which trip was he travelling when ho was in Lawrence, Monroe, and Morgan? Again: They say the Gov. has manifested friendship lo me by offering me two of the best appointments in his gift that of prosecuting attorney, and lhat 0fagentto examine the insurance offices. As to the first, I was consulted by others, and let it be known that I did Lm Itmelhe aPPlmcnt, and my mind ' was evfrtnytkD0Jn l ? Executive; but that it T u !?ndeted to mQ is not irue. The arrencv to which they allude was an office of hiihSSSibihty with arduous duties to be performed?and no compensaon provided by law.

been very

fortunate in his treatment of cholera. As a theorist

and practitioner of medicine, there are few men to excel him. His reputation, at home and abroad, stands hijrh. Last year the cholera broke out at,

and around Natchez, which proved very fatal, bat

tling the skill of the most experienced physicians. The practice of Dr. Cartwright was attended with such success, that the gentlemen, on whose planta

tions he had practiced, called a public meeting and

voted him a silver vase worth six hundred dollars.
