A Post-Office has been established at Wanhorom;h, IM wards county, Illinois, :hc residence of Mr. Bii beck. Gilbert T. Bell, Esq is Tost Master. Wc have been requested to state, that THOMAS LMISON, if elected, will serve a a Director of the Poor Home. COM Nk'NICA HON. He seeks as ill defainers do, Sfiarft re x",rs In j t amb'.gua ,s to raUe suspicion in the mind of the people. lV.it I hope that my countrymen will be no loader imposed upon, by artful and design- " in 'men, or by wretches, who, bankrupts in ' l ru an I in fortune, mean nothing more ";' . .niuvihc this country in the same " r. t ruin with the nsclves. Hence it ; -, ., t they are constantly aiming their d . k. and too often, fatal, wrap ns against t'.:o- - who stand forth ai the bulwark of our al safety." Sir IV n.

been designated, not a renroach has been

uttered, not even a personal objection or private partiality f;rr,mulgafcd. The field of ; ditical controversy was calm and still as a Orecian camp. Almost every individual in ' i 'mummy, appeared to have fixed upon the n of his choice, in the undisturbed leisure ... domestic retirement. It seemed miners dassented, that the elector, this year, might I :t in his ballot, free from the influence of "' it distraction, which is sure to be excited f importunity, imposition and misrepresent :;on. Hut alas, the inferences of honest ; son are vain and delusive, when apprceiv ing the views of those political sophists, ho cherish the niachiavcUan postulate, " that the ew., justifies the .w ana" The spirit of that confederacy, which has so long au- : yed the honest yeomanry of Indiana, like it of every other factious bixly, is insatiate in its aspirations, and unprincipled in its t :f rts. Altho it can occasionally sink health the surface of its own malignity, like 'i it sinks, more securely to watch ho motions of its destined victim. One week past, who could hav e been so nnh stable, as to suspect that any man, or any t v f men, would hav e the unbridled etlVouo: v, to fabricate false and scurrilous accusatie us against mv f;v:r:te candidate, on the r.v of election, which they dared not vvhis per. while ns yet there was tinw to unmask juvl repel the attack and yettlrs course is v. ended.
