Last and desperate
Attempt to fOist a
Moral Leper into
a responsible of
fee!
F9'eeasse9o Of Harrison
OrLooK TO THE MAN
WHO WISHES TO REPRESENT
You IN OUR LEGISLATURE.

al late hour last evening friend placed
what purported to be an address of Samuel
A. Russell 10 the people of Harrison county
in our possession. 1t commences with a
fierce .a.tack upon the editors Of the Cadiz
Sentinel, in asirain Of as beautiful billings
gate as ever Jmanated from the most deba-
sed fshwoman, and is altogether character.
istic Of the man. This precious document
was circulated on the verge OF the county,
and was not intended for the public eye in
this vicinity until too late for exposure; but
having caught one of the 'b'hoys' we have
made good use of our time, and hope yet 10
be time enough 10 prevent the DAMNING
FRAUD from being perpetratedupon the
people of the county We have not time
TO notice the Gendish attack upon ourselves
further than TO say Mr.. Russell ie now a can
didate for a responsible Office, and we con-
slider it our duty olet the people know what
manner of man he is who seeks their votes,
and they SHALL know, so long as we have
a press and type under our control, without
regard to the slime which may be spultered
forth at us.
We copy the concluding part of the ad-
dress, together with the certificate of three
very worthy citizens 10 bolster up t.ie char.
acter Of their very worthy fellow, Samuel
Assassin Russell, Esq, which is as follows:
"Fellow citizens: have already stated that
have been resident of this county ior
eleven years. Upon two occasions it has
been my misfortune 10 be guilty of breach
of the peace--the one with Mr.. Mcintyre,
nine yeats ago; the other with Mr.. Harper
The first, under the excitement of a gross
insult offered to a, lady in my presence and
under my protection--ihe latter, more re-
Gently as you all know, in selr-defence. Witt
sffhese two exceptions it has been my goot
fortune 10 have entirely escaped, nctwi,h
standing persecution and provocaiion, angry
(aliercations and quarrelings with my fellow
men. Inever owned, nor was in possession
for single hour, Of pistol, dirk, bowie
knife, colt, spear-cane, or any other unlawfn

these weapons. For the truih of this decla

: Sentinel that they have basely, wickedly, vii

norant and unfortunate man to swear to
statement which is not true. To test thi
e charge, | dare them 10 put the issue 10
,,ljury of the country. S. A. RUSSELL.

As to the communication Of Mr.. A. Work,
given at the request of Samuel A. Russell,
in regard to his slander upon Judge M'Nary,
we consider it fully sustasrgs as in what we
have said in every essential particular. Mr..
Russell requests Mr.. Work, Gas friend to
truth and justice, ,""to say whether the state
ment referred to is true" Chat Russell made
the charge that Judge M'Nary was expelled
from the Seceder Church in consequences
hisvote on one ofthe black laws, when in the
Legislature, some years ugoJ To which Mr..
w. replies
II am not positive in respectto the scoYd
you used, but as understood, III WAS E.
EQUIVALENT TO erpGl, if not the VERY WORD
used by you. After you had concluded the
blunt democrat said it was not so--thc Judge
tods NOT erpeIled from the church, to which
| replied, that he Dould haze been If he had
not fled or declined the authority Of the
church." A, WORK to $. A. RUssALn.

that Judge M'Nury was NOT expelled from

The idea is held out in the above that
Russell was mere boy at thetime; but such
is not the fact He was boy with beard
on his face, and was married shortly aiier.--
II will be seen in the above that Russell pre-
nounces the OATH of Mr.. John Minteer
"FALSE in general, and FALSE in partic-
ular, WITHOUT THE SHADOW OF
and Messrs. D. B. Atkinson, Jas.
McNary and William Boggs, certify that
Russell never .used, drew, or made apass
with a dirk asMr. McIntyle," and that John
Minteer was not on the, ground when the das-
tnrdIy assault was made. Mr.. Russell also
charges upon the editors Of the Sentinel

Certificate from Citizens Of New
Athens,

We, the Undersigned citizens OF New
Athens, hereby certify, that Samuel A. Rus
sell and Thomas Mcintyre, some 5 OF years
ago, when both were boys, al College, had a
difficulty in our presence. There was some
scuffiing between them, but we positively de-
ny that Mr. Russell used, drew, OF made a
pass with dirk at Mr.. Mcintyre; and we
will further state, that it seems strange TO us
that Mr.. John Minteer should be present,and
make such broad declarations that he "saw
him have the knife" and none of US should
either see the knife, or John Minteer We
believe that he was not on The ground. Mr.
William Boggs was the irst person 10 sepa

We wonder if Mr.. .Boggs will give the lie
to the OATH of Mr.. Acres with the same
readiness he did TO his own sworn doquet, and
statement 10 one of the editors of this papeFs,
Ii might be much more expensive.
ABRAM ACRES, Sworn: was in William
Bogg's store room, in the town of New
Athens, shortly after the attack of Samuel
A. Russell upon Mr.. Mcintyre, and he,
Boggs, asserted, in conversational relation
to the attack, that he, Boggs, caught Russell,
and pulled him off Mclntyre-that he did
not see him have knife in his hands, but
that knife was found on the spot, and that
he believed Russell dropped 1t out of his
sleeve.

) II is unnecessary 10 contradict the version
Iof Russell, relative 10, his murderous and
Edastardfy attack upon Mr., Harper, formerly
e itor of this paper. But We will do so in
, as short and concise manner as possible.---
AS to the act being in self defence, it is a
LIE. Mr.. Harper was peaceabie and unt
offending man, and never attacked a man in.
D his life. The attack was made on him by
Russell in the most treacherous and assassin,
like manner, when he was unconscious of
danger. This is so well known here, that il
, is deemed unnecessary TO verify il by oath,
but it can be done at any time.
' We have not had time to comment on the
: above, nor further notice this affair at pres
cnt. We will attend to it we'll in the future,
3 and if we do not make the parties feel it in
+ their inmost soul, it will be because they are
a totally lost to all sense of shame, or the opin-
ions ofmankind.

We know not who is the author of the
following, but it is exquisitely beautiful:
In all climates Spring is beautiful. In
the South it is intoxicating, and sets poet
beside himself. The birds begin to sing:
they utter few rapturous notes, and then
wait for an answer in the silent woods.
Those green coated musicians, the frogs,
make holiday in the neighboring marshes.
They, too, belong to the orchestra of Ma
,ure, whose vast theatre is again opened,
though the doors have been SO long bolted
with icicles, and scenery hung with snow
and lrost-like cobwebs. This is the pre-
lude which announces the rising of the
broad green curtain. Already the grass
shoots forth. The waters leap with thrill
ing pulse through the veins of the earth,
the sap through the veins of the plants and
trees, and the blood through the veins Of
man. What a thrill of delight is Spring
time What a joy in being and moving!
Men are at work in the gardens, and in the
air there is an odor of the fresh earth. The
leaf buds begin to swell and blush. The
white blossoms of the cherry hang upon
the boughs like snow flakes, and ere long
our door neighbors will be completely hid
den from us by the dense foliage. The
flowers open their soft blue eyes. Chill
dren are let loose in the fields and garden.
They hold buttercups under each others
chins to see if they love butter. And the
little girls adorn themselves with chains
and curls of dandelions- out the yel-
low leaves to see if the school boy loves
them, and blow the down from the leaf
less stalk to find out if their mothers want
them at home. And at night so cloudless
and so still Not voice of living thing,
not whisper Of leaf or waving bough,
not breath of wind, not sound upon
the earth or In the air And overhead
bends the blue sky, dewy and soft, and ra-
diant with innumerable stars, like inverted
bell Of some blue flower, sprinkled with
golden dust, and breathing fragrance. Or,
if the heavens are overcast, it is no wild
storm Of rain, but clouds that melt and fall
in showers. One does not wish to sleep,
but hes awake to hear the pleasant sound
Of the dropping rain"
