''WAsHNeroN CITY. June ~, ISi9."
This circular is unique and rich in respects than
one. not only is Of the many proofs of the fact
that the administration have secret club in this city,
provided with ample funds to operate upon the elections
in the several States and that Truman Smith. the wood
en-nutmeg senator from Connecticut, who has never
shown capacity for anything else but such low, un-
princped, and shameless intgues is the head OF this
club and the manager OF its corruption fund but II also
shows that Truman is the principal counsellor and ad-
wiser OF the cabinet in the disposition OF public Offices
He holds this very idea to the people Of Indiana He
tells them in the pateal tone, that he has learned
that they dissatisfied because Mr. Caleb B. Smith
was not appointed Postmaster Generals that il was not
his fault for he did everything he could to accomplish
the object but for he failed and that General Taylor
will yet do justice to Indiana by giving her wing poll
licans more Offices. But, says Truman, cannot help

/ Was there ever shameful proposition made to
intelligent and patriotic people than this q Here is
direct offer to bride the people Of Indiana into more
Jealous and INSCRIPTIONS support Of Gen. Tayor's adj
minstration by promising them more Offices Mr.. Smith
says, "Send more wing delegates to support the admins
ration and the administration will give you Offices
And who doubt that Truman Smith is in the conf
dence Of the cabinet; that he acts by their suggestion
and that he is authorized by the cabinet to submit
to the people OF Indiana this base and shameful propo
siton for political bribery And was ever such infa-
nous intemeddling with elections before practised by
an administration And what shadow Of apology be
made for such criminal interference with the freedom
and purity of elections When such acts as these are
pepeated under the of secrecy and silence, by
an administration protesting hold its power from the
people. and to be governed by their will fairly ex-
pressed by their representatives in Congress, through
the nstrumentaly Of its corrupt, degraded. and base
agents. is time for the people to take the alarm and
rush to the rescue.
This last disclosure shows that this administration,
which Processes so much regard for the freedom and pu
iy OF elections and every day removing democrats for
the alleged offence Of interfering with politics, guilty Of
the grossest outrage upon the purity Of the baot-box
that has yet been committed. II has set on foot
gigantic scheme operate secretly and furyely upon the
elections in every State of the Union, promising Offices
for political support and thus attempting to undermine
the integrity and morals Of the people. And Truman
Smith, senator from Connecticut, is the degraded and
shameless instrument by which this supendous system OF
fraud upon popular suffrage is to be carried out What
offence is criminal, what more reasonable against
the very spirit and principles Of our institutions than
his' Strange, indeed, il will be- il the United States SEN
ate shall tolerate among its members man who thus un-
blushngy engages in criminal and secret conspiracy
against the freedom and purity Of popular elections and
thus degades the high character OF an American sena-
tor. atu
We shall recur to this subject again but in the mean
time we call upon the patriotic and vruous people OF all
parties to note the development Of these corrupt and
shameful practices, and to rebuke an administration that
dares IN resort IN them nv lending uoenhera nj Crov..
