More FalsehOOdS r.

II would be the height Of folly, 10 attempt n re-
iutation of all the outrageous alsehoods that grace
Cor dis-grace) the columns of the Van Buren, PEN
STONED papers, Perhaps it is very unnecessary
to say so much as one word. in reply to an article
in the last Argus, dated "Bath Aug 3d." and sign
ed GA .hechanic''-but evidently concocted by the
Ofiice-holders. There are, however, two points in
it, which we will briefly notice.
After making his introduction by giving uttetance
TO several utter falsehoods, which he must have
known to be such, this correspondent throws oui
tho following dirty and arisocratc insinuating no.
tice of our respected and talented townsman, and
brother mechanical MECHANIC IN FACT as
well as in name.
"But Saturday came, and the notices were post
ed up, giving notice that Freeman Fl. Morae, o.
this town, you'd teach his felo,r toUnsmen poiiti-
cal knooiedge,' &c.
Now who cannot see the outrageous insult, con-
tanned in The manner and form Of expression. Just
look at the spirit of CONTEMPT so clearly evinced
by this Office holder, toward this industrious and
talented Mechanic, by placing his name in italics
We entertain no surprise, that such should be the
feelings of our 0fce-holders, for enough
have they to fear, when he takes them in hand but
their unblushing impudence. in publishing their
budget of reckless falseboods under the honored
name of IA Mechanic should excite universal in
dgnaton and contempt.
The other point. unimpor;ant to be sure, is, the
insinuation of what he knows is FALSE, and
which he dare not clearly assert, viz; that Mr.,
Morse is The editor of this paper. The idea IS con-
tanned in this sentence-speaking of Mr.. Ms nrgu-
ment-that ''any one that reads the Bath Telegraph
may read [t] almost ver6atim from week to
week." Really, me hardly thought our humble
1abors worthy so high compliment-for.aI intell-
gent gentlemen, who heard Morse, pronounced
high, very high encomiums upon his speech--it ,cos
mastery and unanswerabe effort, and the best
proorwe can have, is the scorching effect it has had
upon the Office holders, of this vicnity-it drove
them completely from the ground, and have
heard from them since, only from the dirty kennes
of their loco focoism, But if they wish to insinu-
ate, that Mr. Morse or any other gentleman write.
editorials they insinuate A FALSEIlOOD, and
shoy know it-yes they knom H;-and yet bring it
10 IA an argument against gentlemen, whom they
dare not meet on open grounds Such ~ the spirit
of Locolocoism!

Business RCyiying.'

The Lincoln Patriot Of this week publishes an
article from the Journal of Commerce, loco TO-
co paper, about sbusiness reviving'-and admits
nowthat "Prosperity is once MOI RETURNING "!
In the first place, the article in question is desig-
mated solely for political effect, at the of our
State election and is wholly incorrect 2dy.-
1t comes with an i'll grace from the Patriot to
ADMIT, now, that prosperity is returning,
when through all the campaign, they have con-
tended that there was nothing but prosperity =
O, the heartessness of loco focoism! Does the
Patriot think to gull its readers in this way

upon the General, or means to de-
ceive its readers, or what is per-
haps more probable, is of too
small calibre to judge of talent or
character.
Those who are acquainted with
the General will not be deceived
by this article of the Patriot-for
they know him to be a man of
shrewdness, cunning, a dema-
gogue at times, and at times a
gentleman-an artful politician,
and a good party leader, and
knowing this, they have nothing
more to learn.
If truth is severe, we must
charge it to the account of the
Lincoln Patriot who has driven
us to review their comparison of
the qualifications of the gentlemen
who are now before the people of
this District to be supported, to
represent them in Congress-
Personally, we have, and still
would, were it compatible with a
sense of duty, shun these unpleas-
ant "reminiscences.
MIR. RANDALL, our present Rep
resentative, and candidate for re-
election is well known to be a
plain, honest upright man, of
sound political principles. A
man who stands high at the bar
as a lawyer, high among men of
science, as man of learning, and
infinitely above the shafts of NAL
ice and ignorance displayed in the
article of the Patriot editor.
OF his REpUBucANIsM, we can
only say, that it is ofthat enobling
character, so conspicuous in the
principles ofour WAsHrNGroN,and
which forms the main and funda-
mental elements of our dearest in
situations. 1t is the democracy of
the Constitution, the whole Gov
srlrUrror, and nothing but the
CONSTITUTION! We wish
we could say as much of Gen.
Sewall's democracy!

To the Electors OF Lincoln Corr
greSsiOMSyJ District.

was going to press an article in
the office holders organ of this
county Qhe Lincoln Patriot) rela-
ting to the relative merits and de-
merits Of the two candidates for
the office of Representative to
Congress from this district, viz:
Hon. Benjamin Randall and Jo-
seph Sewall Esq. Were it not
for this article, we should not have
said a word further as to the COM
paratlve merits of either of the
above gentlemen as they are both
well known to the people of this
district. The Patriot speaking
of Gen. Sewall says-"In him his
constituents will find a firm and
unyielding advocate oftheir rights.
by his election the people of this
district will have reason to feel
proud, for the talents which he
is possessed of would place him
in the front ranks and thereby
cold Lincoln" would once more
attain a distinction in the halls of
Congress, which the murder of
the Noble Cilley deprived her
off,
Pray, gentle reader, a0hat has
the murder Of the Noble Cilley to
do in this matter?
The Patriot also says that Gen.
Sewall is a consistent Democrat.
Now, one word, in reply to this
nummery. 1t is we'll known to
all who have been acquainted
with Mr.. Sewall in years gone by
that he was a FederaList, of
the straightest sect. That he was
1ederdlist from his youth up,
that he was a strong FEEDER
ALIST during the last war, and
for aught we know to the contra
~, has been ever since, unless he
thinks his support Of Mr.. Craw-
ford, and his bitter hostility to
Gen. Jackson entitled him to a
seat in the republican family
This certainly might have been
conclusive, in his case, had he
not SO soon again returned to his
former principles, in view, doubt
less, for we know Of no other rea-
son, ofth e lucrative post he has
occupied for the past 6 or I years.
And it is a remarkable fact that
among all the Democratic prin-
ciples which the Gen. discusses
he never is heard to say one word
about the principles Of rotation in
office, altho' many hungry men
of his party, who need and de-
serve more the emoluments of
Office, than he, have been patient
ly waiting for years, to see if he
would not breach the subject
Now as to the Generals talents,
which are to place him in the
''front rank on the floor of Con-
gress if elected.7 Reader did
you ever hear any one except,
those wise looking boys of the
Patriot
''For fools are known by looking wise
AS men hunt Wood-cocks, by their eyes"
speak of Gen. Sewail as a
scholar, or as man of talents 2
Did you ever hear member of
the bar speak of him as a good
nay as a third rate lawyer-did
