RE. 10 comas ....i 20. natis.

Although we have had the evidence in our posses
sion for time Of the utter untruthulncss Of the
statement that Mr.. McGumas at one time expressed
preference for Mr.. Bolts for Governor we did not
deemit worth publishing. Ne should net now aiIude
TO the iasehooi, had it been confined to the eircua
ton of the dirty sheet in which il orginaeda sheet
whose editor has permitted every indignity and in
suit HAT could degrade man to pass unotieed and
unredreased. We aude to the abolition scamp who
writes for tho l.eYsbarg Era That paper first gave
currency to the ruHor, art it not that respeea
Bile journals have copied the false statcmcnt it would
be useless to deny it, Wheeler is known to be an
infamous liar aud slanderer.
We state it upop the authority of Dir. Meeomas
himself that the report is utterly false. That he has
never at anY time said, or thought of saying. that
he would support Mr.. Bets fer Governor, or any
other office On Che contrary, that he has always
regarded Mr.. Dots Federalist with whom he dit
fered rs wide as the polls in political Matters
II may not be aniss, it has been said that Mr..
McComas voted for Wings ti.,e after tiae to state,
that he has been consistent and staadast Democrat
from the tiae he vas - years OF ageat wheH time
he commenced studying politses. lis record is
clear. Even were it not so, how could Democrat
refuse to support him or the very thing they would
thus be doing themselves?
