AMEs SULLIVAN, as Governor,
and the Hon. WILLIAM HEATH
as Lieut.. Governor, contains
the following remark :" You
have witne6ed, and doubtleis
with due Indignation, during
the Ialt year, the vari9u5 cai4m-
nies and milerable fubterfuges
employed TO ihake the public
confidence in the former gentle
man"


We have frequently faid, and
we fay again, if Mr.. Sullivan
has been illuminated, being a
candidate for office in a Pepub-
lican government, where people
are deeply intcrefed 70 be cir
cumGpect in the selection Of men
for the hi8het offices, he was in
duty bound to himGelf and to the
public to check and punith the
calumny which aGailed him.
There is judicial test, pro-
vided by the wifdom of Lee
giAators for this very purpofe,
which would remove every fuC-
Picion Of this gentleman's hon
city and corre& habits, if he is a.
bufed, ,las his friends affect to be-
iieve and which would bring On
his accuGer that public indigna-
ton and perfonal ditrcfS, which
ought, and mott particularly in a
government like ours, to fall on
the unjut viliher of public men.
Why has not that telt been en-
ployed? Mr.. Sullivan will find
it difficult to give a fat;&aaory
anGwer.


The charge Of e employing
mifcfa.l: fubterfuges" in the
Addyef5 is unfoun6ed, as we
lhail foon Gcnontrate. The
objections made to Mr.. Sui
Iivan, lalt year, were couched
in terms as plain and direct as
our language afforded. The
Editor Of this paper never with
ed 10 take any advantage by IN
fnQaf;on5. He chofe TO give
Mr.. Sullivan. every opportunity
to avail himGelf Of law, if he did
not plead guilty, before the bar
of the public ; and urged the
