in this district, withdraws from the track. lie gives 1 the follow in j reasons fur so doing :
44 1. Those who desired that the abolitionists should Fupport Mr. McCarty, in order to have the district represented by a Wilmot proviso man, would vote for
him if I should continue to be a candidate. "2. Those who are riot willing to vote for Jlr. McCarty can etill vote for some well known abolitionist, and I shall be saved the extreme mortification of beinr the nominee of a party, a larc portion of whose votes will be jiven to another man." These reasons are certainly not very complimenta

deal stronger than their abolitionism; and Mr. De
l'uy in the kindness of his heart, seasonably withdraws, to give them a chance cf so doing without exposing their hypocrisy. Secondly: Mr. Do l'uy is not disposed to run the chance of political martyrdom, for the sake either of his party or the 44 poor negroes." Not he! It would be extrem! mortifying to him to allow any portion of the abolitionists to vote for l.im, and thus evince the sincerity of their professions, unions they all would do so. . lie courteously, however, siiT'rcsts that they should vote for somebody else, (if they won't vote for McCarty,) as if any body else would be less sensitive than himsulf about 4 losing a largo portion of their votes," and more willing 44 to bear such a cross" for the sake of manifesting the faith which they profess to be imbued with. Ver.ly these are singular reasons! And if we djd not give Mr. De Ttiy more credit for sincerity and ingenuousness of spirit than most people do, we should bo inclined to think that the determination to which he has arrived, squinted a little towards a fellow feeling witb the whigs, and evinced a deposition to accommodate Mr. McCarty by a transfer of the abolition vote. At any rate, Ave have no doubt that the whigs will be very much gratified at his determination; that they will pat him on the back, and tell him tliat he is a Cr.e fellow ! Perhaps they will actually
forget for a while, that he ever thru&t his spoon into the whig dih !
without being a "grovelling demagogue," as the JourOD 9 CO' nal says. Yes ! Herod, and Foley being candidates, the Junto was nearly quiescent just moving enough to keep up appearances and Judge Wick had an ea?y time of it. Eut Mr. McCarty being a candidate, the wurd is 44 up anJ at Wick," ami every engine is at work. The operation commenced instanter. The convention which nominated Mr. McCarty, instead of enlightening the public by the adoption of resolutions declaring what whig principles have got to be now in IS 17, adopted sundry resolutions censuring the democratic candidate, and in a recess of business, put up a sq-iasby young pettifogger to comment on the course of lhf Jjrnocratic candidate; and from that dty to this the whig pro-is in the district has poured upon his head a continufd avalanche of slander and lies. No e.Tort was made to obtain the whig abolition vote for Mr. Herod, or Mr. Foley; but in favor of Mr. McCarty, the- needful exertion and sacrifice is olf.-reJ, and an unnatural alliance between whiggery and abolitionism is made. The an'.i-abol.tioii whigs will not be told of it the
address of Mr. Do Fuy will never be seen in the col
umns of the whig papers, end the honest Kentucky or Virginia whig will never know that iu the Con-Tes-sional election of IS 17 he has unwittingly stood shoulder to shoulder with abolitionists.
0"JcrKiE Wick will adJress such as may assemble at Cumht rlmd. on Monday, the 19lh of July, at "tittr o'clock, J?. M. . I . . ; Uleciion of County lrorc:itor. The law of last winter provides for the election of prosecutors for each county at the August election. Many of our citizens are" of opinion that the office of prosecutor in the fifili judicial circuit is now vacant, in consequence of the late incumbent having received and accepted a commission in the volunteer regiment to serve in Mexico, and that a successor for this County ought to be elocted on the first Monday of August nest.. In the event of such an election taking place, we are requested to announce that Ltcun Bakbocr will be a candidate for the suffrages of Lis fellow citizens for that office.
07Thc following is endorsed to us by some twenty cf our most respectable citizens : To the Editors "f the Indiana Stale Siniliiiel : Uenlkmeii Understanding that a vacancy has been

5The Journal says tliat 44 Judge Yi, in his spneh rnide in the Muhtt Unite on le 2d instant, instead of discussing the questions legitimately before the coun!ryt indulgul in the most bitter denunciations of (u'l those, both Whig and Detmxrat, xcho are not iciüitz to give him their suport."

exactly TWO. He has heard of but few democrats
who even talk of failing in giving him their suppoit,
and against thetrt he has nothing to 8jy. The assertion that Judge Wick did not discuss the questions legitimately before the country is rich. He took up every such question, and went fully through it. Did Mr. McCarty follow his example! Among other things Judge W. laid down and sustained the following propositions, viz : 1st. That. the present war is just on the part of the United States. 2d. That it was not induced by the unconstitu-

In tho coalition ef whigs and whig abolitionists to produce, if psib!e, his election, tiie people will see evidence of a fraternity of opinion ; and could the fact be generally known, hundreds of whigs would not cast their votes for Mr. McCarty.
