rijYCEXJYES, july 6, 1826. All men of honorable feelings I maysay, all men whose hearts arc not absolutely depraved unite in testifying their abhorrence of that system of personal vituperation and abuse of candidates, to which many men, for electioneering purposes, addict themselves. It is true, that unworthy men do not merit the peoples support, and should not be intrusted with cOicc and it is also true, that, as responsibility is the great security of Republics, the conduct of those who have been in office, and present themselves for re-election, should be ex amined should be scrutinized closely, but candidly severely, but with truth. But the plain unvarnished statement of facts, and fair, honest, and honorable deductions from those facts, will not always subserve the views, nor answer the purposes of unprincipled office seekers, and their partisans. Hence, probably, to the great dissatisfaction of the fair, candid, and honest part of the community, and the disgrace of the press, the personal slander of candidates will continue. Some satisfaction m ly be had, in the con iction that truth will prewii', and will, when ascertained, cany confusion to the slanderer and his projects. My reflections on this subject have been at this time excited by the battery of abuse and slander, foundt d on the vilest mis-statement of plain, palpable facts, which has opened on Rutliff Boon, in the Terre-IIaute Register, of Jure 24th. Every candid man who has noticed the proceedings of Congress during the last session, must be satisfied that the delegation from this state Senators and Representatives, did their duty honestly and manfully, to the ivlnle state unless, perhaps, in one single instance piobaper p- they, and especially Mr. Boon, did not use every endeavor to procure for JbTm V. Osborn, Esquire, Editor of the

Terre-Hautc Register, he. Sec. the ap pointment of Printer of the Laws. Probably they thot' that honestly, they could not encourage that printer who only two years since, distinguished himself so vilely by his abuse, low, and unmciitcd abuse of Thomas H. Blake, Esq. Pet haps they thourht thev could not advise Mr. Clay to bestow an office of trust, as well as of flrnfi'y on the slanderer of col. Blake. This I know not, certainly. However, I do know, that in my honest and disinterested opinion, Mr. Boon, and his colleagues in the lower house and in the Senate, did their duty, and have well merited the approbation oi thcr -constituents. I am in the number of those, who, from good motives as 1 believe, have determined to give tluir o.es to Mr. Boon next August. Yet I do not wish to take any part in the bustle of election-hut I cannot read statenui l.i directly in the face of truth, without some emotion. I cannot stand idly by while a man, who, for thirteen years lias served his fellow citizens with approbation am! ci edit, as Representative, Senator, Lieutenant Governor, &c. U vilely slandered, and charged with wanting tl the common feelings .oi an honest politician." "n. Mr. Boon is decidedly opposed to any abuse of hi.s opponents, and 1 know it well he is a plain sort of a mild, modest man, who does not wish to surce 1 in his election, unless by honoirdde means oi pci haps I mii,ht 16 ' lead, at least, to republish some oF the louse i-torius about col. Blake, which Mr. (V.born piinted two years ago especially a certain I aniuus handbill, circulated through tiu northern counties only two or thiee days befc c the eh ction Moderate and mild ?s Mr. Boon himc.rM is he has fiiciuls ten wai m, silently to

It is no as s a:cd by the writer under the sio.'t'ii e of u C'oru'.anter, im." th.it Mr Pio-'.n MifiVred a ( i'd maki;i an app; opri.uiiMi of l.udin aid of the state, to eoo-tiuct a eaii-.il. wi;:eh had p.nxi! the Senate, and reaeiiekl the loutr house w't'i evevy product el success, to be laid upon 'he tabu. I o ddly stMe, that no such bill pi! the Senate that no such bill r?::c!u-'l the lower house and tba' on thi surject Mr. lloondidnot 1 c: his duty. I.:''!y in the session, Mr. Boon, the 'jr and zealous friend of internal iirirover.'.ent, brought foi waul a resolution for a i;rant of land, that resolution was refcteeito the standhn; committee of the house, oF which Mr. Boon vas not a member, and was not acted upon, because Mr. Hendricks in the Senate, as chairman of the canal committee, introduced a similar bill. Hut if a bill had been introduced into the lower house, and parted, as did the

Illinois canal bill, (and upon which bill Mr. Boon voted in the affirmative) it would have received the fate of that bill in the Senate it would have been rejected. The Illinois bill stood on higher ground than ours there a survey had been made, which our state had neglected yet their bill failed this session. Our canal bill never passed the Senate but in the Senate was laid upon the table, by its fra mer, Mr. Hendricks, from the best of motives. If brought up, it would have been rejected at the next session it will probably pass. The people of this Distiict are not to

be so easily humbuged as the writer in the Register may think. The people will require proof clear, and umquivocal proof, before they will discard an old and worthy public servant before tiny will believe that Bailiff Boon whose all is in this country, is opposed to the interest of the count! y. j Mr. Boon and his colleagues, a;e not j only not opposed to the c';al but they have done more for it, than our own Le I gislature ever did.
