At the very last moment, sundry anonymous
slanders are put forth against the union candidate
for Sheriff, WILLIAM II. AJBERrsoN. One of
these calumnies affrms that he sold out his pro-
spective Depuiysbips to secure bis nomination. If
that were true, il could not be known to those
who assert it; but it is every way false and pre-
posterous Another lie calls him gambler Still
another charges him with selling out the State
ticket to procure votes for himself Such inven-
tions only prove the mslice and desperation Of his
adyerssries. We know good men who have been
intimate friends of Mr.. AlbertsOn for years, and
they assure us that better or purer man does not
live. Read the certificate Of the merchants who
have employed and trusted him as carman and
otherwise and hasten to rebuke his caumniators!
