acsul.y.s Defeat in ohio :.

A letter was published in the Newly ork re
beian, dated Newark, o. Oct 10, lo4f' heap-
ed " Caleb ]. McNuty-the Ohio Democrat"
purportins to give the causes that nave ieo 10
the success of the Wing candidate In this Con-
qressional District, C. DeIano, Esq. over Nh
McN alty and charging that such result nae
been fraudulently obtained By 300 students ct
the several Colleges of Kenyon, Granville ana ana
Blendon, having been permitted to vote-ooo
pipe-layers being imported into the Distfict-2oV
Liberty men deserving their ticket and voting Tor
pslsuo-and that Ewing, Sto'er, and Metcaii
came he:e, and " stumped" the District BY school
districts-and finally tina. the three several chief
towns of the District, Columbus, Newark and
Mount Vernon, were each drawn Oh by the
Wings, for account $4,000, to defeat Mr..
McNulty."
The letter is perfect tissue OF falsehoods and
Representations published in your City Tor
effect-and intended to manufacture public op!n-
ion, and rave the way Tor contest, to be sus-
tanned by party House Of Representatives, upon
slight GROUNDS and false assertions.
To coumeract these influences, beg leave to
ask you to notice the matter in your excellent
and widely circulated paper
The three Colleges referred TO, did not, cotlec-
lively, turn out more than so voters; and these
under the Constitution and laws OF this State,
were as Justly and legally emitted to their votes
as any residents of the District. Some voted Tor
one, some for the other candidate.
That there uas band of PiPe-iayers impaired
AZ ba @ rendered
certain, from various developeme1ts since the
election; and especially that on the ine OF the
National road, through Licking and Franklin
Counties-the superintendent, and every gate
keeper and overseer, of which are Lcca.Focos-
contracts were advertised for the 9th Septem.
behaving obviously in view the increase OF
voters, to be brought into the District under such
influence and patronage. But that such pipe,
layers or any other pipe,layers were introduced
by, or through the influence of MIR. Deiano, or
voted for him, !s utterly untrue.
That portion OF the Wing " Liberty men y
voted for Mr.. D. is undoubtedly true. suppose
they were freemen, and voted for whom they
chose. 1t only passes my understanding that IN
such contest, SO many should have adhered to
their Liberty" candidates.
Messis. Ewing, Storer and Metcalf, as did
likewise other distinguished strangers-not for
getting Gov. Cass, TIL. L. Hamer, a MIR. Neil
vile OF your State, and divers other distinguished
Loco. Foco orators-made occasional speeches IN
the District; but it is not true that the former
sumped it through the SCHOOL districts" They
merely visited US, as has been usual with both
parties, and in all parts Of the country.
Tne draft upon each of the above named
towns for $4,000, or any other sum for the espe-
cial purpose of defeating MIR. McNulty, is not
only utterly untrue, but the pretence lsrdcuous.
Not dollar beyond the usual expenses, common
to both parties and in al! districts, was expended
by the Wings.
The simple truth lies in this McNulty is beaten
in District gerrymandered and made expressly
for him-a district which gave the Loco-Foco
candidate for Governor more than 500 majority;
beaten, too, by his own party not voting for him.
He is, therefore, Sore But let him Or bis friends
contest Mr.. Delanos seat, and the investigation
will shew ten false or fraudulent votes for Me-
Nulty to one for Delano. And should he from
his present favorable position CLERK OF the House
of Representatives. or other appliances, succeed
in his contest, before body, majority OF which
will probably be his political friends, and the
election be sent back to this district, Mr.. Delsno
will be reelected by large majority. Many who
from the force of party organization and drlll,
voted for Mr. McNulty, secretly rejoice at his
defeat and should the opportunity again be CIV
en- to them, will vote against him.
Mr.. Delano is a high-minded, honorable gen.
teman-able and fearless to sustain Wing prin-
cip.es and his own rights upon the floor OF
Congress or elsewhere. Yours, truly.
