Ellsworth and Holmes.

EilswOrti, and Holmes.
The Journal and Wing Clurn, recently contained
communication signed ''Vox Populi." pretending to
give an account Of Ar. Ellsworts speech and Holiness
action at Delphi. Holmes himself is probably the
writer of the communication, he j. the editor
OF the coon paper a Delphi. where a similar article
appeared lie only therefore be regarded in the
light Of peder putting hs own Ellsworth
invited Holmes, the Wing Elector, to discuss the
principles Of the parties at the opening Of the
campo On, bu. he had enough decline the IN
vitaiion. Now according to his own representation,
he perfect gnni, and a much smarter man than
hi master, Nj Clay. If any body wants to know
any thing further about this wonderful genius, they
can BE- gratied by referring TO the State Scntne Of
Nov. 9th. l7il wherein Holmes acknowledges HIM
self guilty Of faisetoo4 and hbe', in order to escape
the just penalty Of the law.
In relation t. the article alluded to we have re.
