Let every Voter remember that Charles

that he is ffentlentiiii ofNdueation, talent,
integrity, industry, and an uprightness of
eharaeteaslitn American citizen, that no
man dare attimnpt to impeach. He is in

WHAT . GROW HAS DONE.
As Mr row thinks he is the!only
man fit to beelecte t ! d to. Congress, we think.
it •13iit fair to! Mention some of the things
he has-done Tor this people—or himself.
First, .he' has drawn his salary 'with
proniptness; and ,
Second, he. has 'used his• accumulated .
fortune—all; drawn from the public tress
nry*--for o wiibenelit ; not having'been
so reckless as 0' even subscribe 'money ibr
y.db l ut et. T s'lionoty• 110 i his friends ormiti l i '
h 1 Rto ,do so on pain of losing another
nomination; and lie hesitated to de that.•,
until after it had been• settled that the_!
county Was, to be fazed to refund every
dollarO
tnifi.
I .
-.Third, his family made the people be
lieve .they were tying to give $T000:to,
the soldiers.; next they backed doWn
without-public 'explanation, to $lOO, -and .
that is refunded to lain; and
.the last we
heard' of him he - had been franking letters
for'his brother to,mail un !private
neSs—thuslsaving cents, clear cash, On
.every letter! I
•
Fourth, he gave - . Wendell Phillips a
feast last winter, after having heard his !
distibion .speech --is which he said that
ther thaw have slavery exist a few Months
longer in :apme of !the border States, lie
would prefer to see Washington destroy- I
ed by Jeff Davis. •
• Fifth, heendorsed the Helper Book, in
Which he said that "not to be an aboli
tionist to be a wicked and diabolical
instrument :of the devil."
he voted for the homestead bill
not sensible enough to. se,e that
while such bill would be right in time of
peace, yet when we have a million or two
of soldiers to pay-off, every foot of public
land. ve have should. : be kept foe; them ;
and after the-war over, and each volun,
mer provided for, .let the lazy stay4t
homes have what would, be left. sow,
the hothestead . bill permits all the:good
lands to b 6 !squatted on by those who do
not fight; ,and when the poor Vohiuteer
gets home 'he will find his old !home
'swarming with contrabands, and the fer-:
tile west taken upi by the " balite guards."
Seventh; he received a letter from Mr.
.Bentley asking hint to donate $lOO for the
'War; he kept silent eighteen months, and
then, at a war meeting," when lie thought
Mr. Bentley was absent, accused bum i of
having' written a mean', instilthig letter,
begging a:few shillings as private charity.
k ighth, he refuses to produce Such a
i'letter When $5OO was offered for it, be
cause its production would have sitoirn
whether. he , orMr. Bentley had told a will
ful lie.
- 1 Ninth; 'he has. ex.er`ted so "patriotic";
! an. info his own townsmen that in
Lenox, where, nearly,all
. are Republieans,
Most, of the able-bodied men have staid at
home_ .to . vote—and he - boasts that he*
"will get a large majority in Lenox."—
; His town has not sent one-.third its „quota,
while Lathrop, next .to it, which Grow
• said was 101 l of secessionists, has sent its
1 full quota:
I Tenth,
s he has procured a nomination
for an 4;fliee to which the people are going
to elect-Charies Denison -

About ywo months since.afi adjourned
aiir meeting was held in the- Court-house.
-.l",as chairman of a"committee, was to re
port resolutions to that meeting. Mr.
Gere and "myself had" been. in the eastern.
_
part of ile. county for two -days, obtain-.
iug funds and
.se li scriptions for bounties'
for the Volunteers. G. A. Grow had been
invited to address the meeting. Wm. J.
..
Terrell,. Esq., stated
. in .prescnce of Mr. '
Grow, that as I inns absent he Would - report -
-the resolotions, 'in my place, and dillso. -
Mr. Grow then-ndilressecl the'audienee.— •
Mr. Gere and myself, having a favorablo• ,
report to make, hastened home to - make it
baor4 the adjournment of the.meetiegi—
' I stepped into the . Ceurt-house-- 7 had been
in but .i . few momeets, -when to thy sur-•
prise and utter astonishment, Mr. Grew, '
stated as follows: " 4
. 01r ago last spring
1 feecived a tater front a - Mr. Bentleys] your- -
lewd claiming
-that he had boarded 'Ruth's
D. Clark (a volunteer froin Lenoir.) for 12 • ~
or 15 days, uod . askiegiine to Contribute a -.• ~
part towards payingttherefbr, and-that I
did not answer the letter because I did'
not think it right to contribute for paying •
to individuals:" With ,muck, difficulty I
restrained - my„ feelings till he closed and - •
left the stand...!- I thee deelared to him in '
the presenCe of the audience, that.l nti-ci
wrote-sneh a letter to him in'my life, nor to -
anybody . else, nor one of such ki lid or,- i in
pOrt,
.nor anything like it, and that tho
.statement-he made
,was FALSE. And .I.
then and there demanded of him in the'
most emphatic manner, a publication of
: the letter in both papers, that all-who had
heard the. charge 'and the - denial of it
could - judge l fbr themselves as 'to the ives-
tion of- veracity between us; and I ffirth- 1
er,pledg,ed myself,_ in presence of . the au
dience; that if he would pubiish thelettere
and , it did not show his statement -to - be
talse, I-would- pay s5OO into the Volunteer
fund iminediately_upon its publication.—
The only reply he made my demand aiti.i
that he (or they) .otnred - Clark ineney be
fore he left home, and that. he refused - to .
take it, and said that I owed--,him and he
could get Some of me. I only - gave Mr..
Grow's.. word that ho offered Mr. Clark
some 'money, and . that he -refused it,
. as' stated above, but I did reply to
Mr. GroW that I never, owed; Rufus D.. -
Clark a farthing in the -world, and that
, therenever:was it pretense to my knowl
. edge by anybody` that I ever didond why .
.• he should state so silly; a, falsehood - as an '
excuse- for - not receiving iiNtle . pocket .
mime)+, when he was abeut - to leave home,
that was so . generously. offered to him,l
could not. understand, nor-do . I now. But
..'this is a matter between' Mr,
.Grow -and
Mr. Clark, and there I let it rest. ~ - -
. Whae-I then stated to Mr. Grow
: I now
most unequivocally aed.'emphatically. re
peat and declare, and this is.the only issue.
between us, and no other. shall be forced
upon.nie. There is no misunderstanding,
no quarrel--He says I wrote to him a letter
of certain import. I•dentit without qual- •
ification, and demand its publication,. and .
he does not publish it. He made the charge -
publicly, without reserve or qualification ,
=at a war meeting at which he-had been .
invited, to speak. : I was a part of that
-meeting—was chairman of a committee to
report to it, ' Whitt business bad he to:at-.
tack Ame or. any Other citizen at such a •
meeting? Was'he invited to - attend for
that purpose ?'„ .It was not his meeting
anymore than it was mine.. I did write a
letter to him Or to-his brothers, but ib con-' -
-tamed nothing of the kind as-stated by
i him. I wrote it as chairman of the fin- '
once committee for raising fonds for vol : .
[ mitedrs and their families, and at the rd
[ quest of said committee, and asking then
I to, contribute $lOO,- as many '.others were .
doing. Let him 'Wish 'the fetter,- and it
will tell its own story. I never received
a reply to it, or
s * I would publish it.- After
',what had . taken. place tit the meeting, I
did. not see' how-'Mr. :Grow could avoid
doing.eno of two things:- •. . .
Ist, Either to publish the letter; or, ...
2nd, Come to me and say thathe might _
have riiis-redollected, or lad received a
'wrong impression,'or that - he had spoken
inconsiderately; ; or . something 'of. that
kithi, se as to- rift nte from the 'tricorn
fort:ible. position Tr whißi he had placed
-me. But net a' Word-of.it —not the least
attempt to approach me, but,etill..leaving
'the- impression in the bcant4uniti that I
had-boarded Rufus D. Clark, (a volunteer)
twelve or fifteen days, (who "never ate
a,meal in my house in his 11fe,)-and.that I
,begged a .contributiao-of him, Mr. Grow,
. to pay a part of the bill— , and' I am told
that there are those who believe it. be
cause ho stated it! - .r • .
It does 'seem to me that any man would
have
,cheeifulli!crirreeted- any wrong of
the kind, unless he were so intoxicated
with Political honors and emoluments that:,
had been . showered "upon him : from his-
youth up,. by a 'genvous .and, confiding
constituency, and who from the, giddy'
heights to which - he had been raised. had.
Conceived the idea-that he was almost Obi
. nipatent, and that with .the breath of his
mouth he, could annihilate any. one . that
came in his way, and' that to acknowledge
a wrong-or do theamendsoVoaeratiO to an
one of more humble position than himself
- would ,be humiliating to his dignity: I
should -think it would hive given him
pleastire.tri.do in. - But I have waited in
vain for him to do the first thing towards
any kind of reparation. His -obirge still
