Disgusting Abuse.


We find the following in tina, venal and heartless
concern, the Rockville American, of July 81:
JOSEPH A. WRIGHr.-As we anticipated, neither Joseph
A. Wright, nor his substitute, was here on Saturday last,
lie has returned home, broken down. and abandoned the can
fass. Thus ends the Dragging AID clustering Of his fIiendS,
that wi h his energy, he would make more speeches, ride
down more hoIses, and run over more stumps than any man
in the State. He is now broken down-given oui-his mill
pond is exhausted. He hired a substitute, who has also
abandoned the track, and gone home. If the canvass was 10
ssta little longer, that party would have to bull a hospital
Tor recruiting the broken-winded candidates and substitutes,
which Mr.. MstsOn is laying on The shelf. Where now is
your WALNUT-HULLERi Where is your man that was
10 fugh'en all common men with his giant intellect, aud out
s,IiP all men in the labor and energy Of The canvass
" mais0n has driven him frum the field, and is now march
ing IN triumph through the northern portion of our State, in
hue health aud spiuils. Tie people are with Matson. His
principles suit them, and his manly face and honest heart are
elieIting their personal and political devorioR. Nothing but
~oid'pariy ties can ever defeat Matson, and we do not believe
the people can be controlled IN the present canvass. Friends
the election is close at hand. Will you all vote 7 The
cholera may be in our towns and villages, but you can safely
60 and dePosite your vote and return home immediately.
Ati this not prevent you from attending The polls, or you
may by your neglect lose all that MatsoD by his eloquence
and energy has gained in this campsig", where he has rlsked
DIS lie by spending wees m cholera regions. Will you al
low him now to be defeated by caTelcssness or by a dread Of
the epidemic now raging ia our county Who will stay at
home, when one So worthy is in the held?"
We copy the above as a specimen Of mesnness,
which we do not believe can be matched by anything
which can be said by any other wing paper in this
State and because we are willing that Mr.. Matson
shall have the full benefit of the disinterested support
Of his particular friend Clarkson, who By the way
has not received pay yet for announcing Stan6eld as
the Wing candidate for 1t. Gov.
When he published the above. Clarkson must have
been certified of the new appointments proposed by
Mr.. Wright. We published these first in an extra
on the 23d July, several of which we mailed for
Brookville, and have since continued them in our
paper.
When MIR. Wright passed through this city on The
10th July, he vas, as we stated at the time, very
much worn down, and was afflicted with a disease,
which, though not dangerous, was very troublesome.
He asked our advice, among others. as to the propri.
ETY. of dispensing with some of his then immediate
appointments which he very much regretted thai
necessity seemed to compel him to do. His physical
incapacity was then such that he was compelled to
lie on a bed as he conversed with us. The condition
of his health, we thought, would nlone justify; but
when another fact is remembered, that no candidate
had ever performed so much labor, in the same time,
as he had performed, that though the list of appoint.
ments was originally much larger than usual, he had
made IL speeches, at The request of the people, in
different places, not contemplated at frst,-we had
no doubt the people would excuse him, whatever
might be the course of the hirelings who opposed
him.
As to being frightened by the cholera-Mr. Wright
made speeches in a worse region than Matson has
visited, and his latest appointments are still in the
neighbolho Of cholera, while Matson has retreatet
to the North, where it has not prevailed. But i
would be useless to comment upon each Of the sian.
ders put forth by Matson's " devoted" friend. Theil
falsiiy will be apparent to all honest men.
Clarkson will find out on the first Monday in Au
gust, " where our Walnut Huller is" if not before
The people will make him the GOVERNOR of IN
DIANA, in spite Of all the venal ISLANDERS, or false
hoods, or "crowings" of the Rockville American
