Stephen B. C0rneH--his son Thomas han
ded him tory pro1 which had not, o course,
CornePs name in il, all fred ciM the old
gentiemaa's name pritten on the back of IL,
and told him that that pas the proz that
had Cornell in 1.-THE old gentleman conf
ding in his son, pus that prOI in!
This is, indeed, serious charge, and
were it true, quite sufficient to damn any
man to perpetual infamy. One universal
burst Of Indignation would thunder through
the land-no one would uphold the wretch,
who could practice such flagitious decep-
ton on his own father. If not true,-then
all the ignominy, all the disgrace, with
much more, rests heavily upon the base
aud remorseless propagators, and promul-
gators, who fabricated and circulated the
barbarous SANDER. Now we pronounce the
the charge untrue in every particular !!
There is not one word of truth in il The
last time s. B. Cornell was candidate for
Senator, was in 1S33-about three years
ago. Now, Judge Cory has never carried
his father to town-meeting, nor has he ever
handed him prox with his name written
on it during the last seven years, and most
probably never before that time He has
never deceived him in the way stated, or,
in any other way, at any time, or, on any
occasion, since the birthday of Adam I!
Shame Shame on the sorry scoundrel.
who can so wilfully and intentionally falsi-
fy his neighbor's conduct-a man whom
honest men Of all parties res pect and es-
TEEN for his integrity and upright conduct.
Once more,-
" There aoere Others too, ,oho supposed
that notwithstanding Cory the father poted
on the same estate, still the son had a right
TO oOte on the estate as his father had onIy
a life estate in it,"
Now the estate that Thomas Cory, Jr.
votes on, is not the estate that qualities
Thomas Cory, Sen. Will any one at
tempt to deny this fact7
Judge Cory has been shamelessly SLAM
dered by some one Who the dark and
lurking assassin is, who yelled under the
assumed garb of :" a plain farmer" prowls
so cautlously ly and stealthily, and assails so
nnfeelinely the reputation of an honest, a
peacable, and an unofending man-we
know not.-God deliver US from a wretch
so remorsless, vile and heartless, and from
depravIty so monstrous and startling.
Men of all parties should frown indignant
ly, and cry shame on the miscreant, who
ever he may be, who to destroy mans
political influence, stoops to means as
black as night, and rs false as hell Judge
Cory has at three different periods called
at the Herald Office to obtain then ofthe
slanderer, and-notwilhstanding the pub
Usher of that paper was authorised, by his
correspondents himself, to disclose his name
at dlscretlon,-it was withheld, the name
oil the assassin was concealed and by the
publisher of that paper. What can be said
IN justification, or, even in extenuaton, of
the conduct of those who are base enough,
to endeavor to screen from merited and
universal scorn, contempt, and execlntion,
a fell ficnd, who with cold, calculating ma
lignity and unrelenting vindctiveness, pur-
sues, with murder in his heart, a plain,
quiet, and All unobtrusive man, who has
never in any way injured him! Had the
correspondent of the Herald, been more.
