Loonard EEarsh. Esu.

We learn that a secret and ddStardh
plot has been entered into, for the pur
pose Of defeating ESQ HARSH, by circu
Iating false charges against him, in
such of the neH hborhoods Of this dis,
tricl, as he is not personally known
Charges have bsen proPogated with an
intent to injuro his moral character,
which are wholly and utterly destitute
of foundation! HE traducers have not
dared to make their accusations against
him publlcIy-weIl knowing that he lie
prepared at all points for triumphant
defence. Shall this generous, open
handed ,,kind- hearted, Dutch farmer be
proslrated by SECRET PLoTs-by POl
TlCAL ASSASSlNS, who have neither
the courage nor the power TO meet him
in fair and manly conflict We call up
on tho Wings of this district, and parli
cuarly, upon his numerous friends in
to CONS up to the rouL OF his
cowardIy aEsaiIauts!

Remember

That the Locofoco majority in The last
Legislature ol this Stale tyranzsd over
and gagged the Wing members-reIu-
sing to the minority little time to ex-
amino the bills for which they we're cal
led on 10 vote; and, in this outrageous
manner, among other iniquitous bills,
they forced the passage OF that "BiI oI
Abominations'-tho bill to Gerrymdndcr
the State into Congressional Districts
to elevate few corrupt politicians to
office, and, al the same time, effeclually
dsfranchise from DO TO 10000 Wing
voters.
