To Ahe Voters Of the fifth Congregational
district, Of the state Of Indiana.
Could the people Of this congressional
district be but apprised Of the uOgenerous
prosecuting spirit with which Mr.. Smith
and some Of his partisans pursue the
highminded Gen. M'Carty. the General
would be elected over Smith b, acciama-
ton. That cause which needs the fabri-
cation and circulation Of falsehood to sus-
tain il, is UNJUST and ought not to be sus-
tanned. All that Gen. M'Carty has to
fear in this canvass is that hrs willy op-
poser will overwhelm him with falschood
at an hour too late for refutation. A
number Of the generals friends, aware Of
the infamous treatment he 10 receiving,
have determined to take SO numbers of
the Richmond Palladium "a neutral pa
per) until the day Of the next election, to
assist them in doing M'Carty justice by
refuting as far as possible the lies vomit-
ed upon the community by that most foul
vehicle of Islander the Indiana Sentinel.
The propriety and necessity Of this course
no man can doubt that will peruse this
communication. The Sentinel, where
the character or M. r. Hull, the abandon
ed wretch that is held forth to the public
as its editor is known, is unworthy Of no
tice. 1t is only vlen extra numbers are
sent into ncighborhoods where Hull's M
fanny is unknown, and whene his SANDERS
seem to receive endorsement by being
copied into respectable papers (as was
lately the case by some oversight in the
editors Of the Western Times) that this
poor slave Of Islander can effect the iniu.
|ry Of any man.
Voters Of this district berarc-slander
the most infamous stalks unbiushlngly "a
mongst you, laboring arduously for its
hire The same spirit that on the ~ of
"a late election wrought the defeat Of
Judge Test by the propagation Of false
hood in the ''matter of Mrs. Denny and
since that pursued in the writing and
sending of letters over this district on tho
eve Of the late election, stating that Judge
Test had lain down and ras no longer q
candidate. Is again at work. 1t is death
struggle. Guard yourselves against inn
position. Falsehoods the most vile will
be circulated to destroy the faithful, the
generous M'Carty, at an hour SO late that
there Is no time for refutation. The ig-
norancc however of poor Hull has indrc-
ed an exposure of his "cloven foot" in
time to enable US to "lay him On tho
shelf" to let the people know how re-
CARELESS he is Of truth and how little his
statements are to be depended on. Ho
has knowingly, wilfully and maliciously
stated the most infamous falsehoods, and
i'll succeed in proving this, certainly no
man of sense will accredit him hereafter
