CMIUXIOlTtO' S. , Tin loll owing communication from Wii.- mam GiRT)M, Es-j. will at once put down thj base slander to which it refers. 'Siuirc Girt is a leading Member of tho Mothn- dist Episcopal Church; & vohntirily mikes this ru' licatio.i from the purest motives r contradicting a rumi r which lie knows is false, and which wes rt up for no other purpose then to injure Mr. Fruit's charac-: ter. Mr. Ingrrm: I cm credibly informed ; that a s'an.lernus report is published hi the last Danville Intelligencer" respecting the 'conduct of John Fruit, Esq. at our Into Camp-meeting. The charge is without foundation, and only got up to injure Mr Fruit's election. For my own purl, I can state that Mr. Fruit put up with me at my house during the meeting; and while at my house, or in attendance at the meeting, be haved himself worthy of a gentleman. 1 have not even "heard of any unbecoming conduct of Mr. Fruit at the meeting, and feel satisfied in my mind that he was not in the noisy party who disturbed the meet ing. Indeed, every person Who is acquaint ed with Mr. Fruit knows that he is not a 'noisy person at any time, and particularly while attending public worship. I have not been requested by Mr. Fi-uft, or any of his friends, to interfere in this matter; but feeling it my duty to contra "diet the report, I give the foregoing state 'tnent over my own signature. WILLIAM GIRTON. Hemlock', Oct. 3, 1837. Mr. E litor: I am an old Democrat have always supported the men and measures of the democratic party and have also uni versally supported regular nominations. But I will not do so at this election. I will support the following Ticket, and all my neighbours will do the sanicr. For Assembly: JOHN nOW MAN. For SheiilT:. JOHN FRUIT. For Treasurer: Hugh McWilliunis For Coroner: Isaac C. Johnson. For Commissioner: John P. Davis. As to Evan O. Jackson, I am satisfied that he is a Hank man in disguise; and with tory ancestors he seems to inherit tory principles, and hypocritically attempts to deceive the democratic party. Last year he voted for the Mammoth was always against making stockholders and director of Banks responsible for the amount of their issues and consequently cannot be a democrat in principle. lie is "a Wolf in Sheep's clothing;" and as I would snnrw r support an open enemy than a clandestine opponent, I will support John Bowman, who is at least an honest man and a good citizen. Jackson, too, opposes the regular nominated ticket. His paper at Berwick has thrown offsoiiio of the regularly nonii- nalcd candidates it wns done through his advice, anil the aid of Felty Best; and w must therefore punish his attcinpl to disor ganize tho party, and defraud the honest yeomanry out of their votes. Then 1 go against him, and his disorganizing eo -leagues, feeling sure that I am right, and the majority of the people of Columbia county will sanction my course. A GREENWOOD FARMER. Mr. E litor: I have examined the votes of Evan O. Jackson during his democratic services in the legislature, and so far as my researches have discovered his opinions 1 find him a uniform and decided Hank man. Yes, gentlemen deniociats, your professing Evan 0. Jackson, is a practical Bank man! His voles oil tho West Branch Bank, and the Susquehanna County Bank, ore of the purest Biddle stamp. He oppn sei any limitation to their issue of rags he orvoscs making stockholders personally responsible and hesM;Jors the chatter of every Rag Machine on the old and danger bus Banking principles. lie voted against the repeal of the United States Bank char ier he is fi favor of tho suspension of specio payments and if re-elected will uso every cxcrlioh to sustain tho present perni cious Bankinir system. Then I cannot give mm n y support- Tnnns.PiPi.1 Intr mier for anv oflice. I Will i T iiiitt.ir! n vote for John Bowman, and I will tell you m. ii t n , of practical business habits an industrious and intel ligent farmer an honest man; He is not j much of a party mnn ho never was an Office-hunter and lie lias always so con- ducted himself as to secure the friendship of acquaintances, and the esteem of his neighbours and fellow-citizens. He is no a Bank man. lie is in favbrof refcrming l'm present Banking system, and'if elected will restrict the issue of Hank paper, and make stockholders personally liable for tin.1 debts of tin B inks. Tlion my choice is made. I will not support Evan 0. Jackson because he would hetrny Wis trust, and I will support John Bowman because I know that he will hon estly and faithfully represent the wishes of his constituents. ANTI-BANK. Mr. E litor: You will please announce the following Ticket, as the one which will receive the support of our Township: For sseinbly: JOHN BOWMAN. For ShcrifT: JOHN FRUIT. For Cnronnr; I. C. JOHNSON. , For Treasurer: HUGH M'WILLIAMS. JFor Commissioner: JOHN P. DAVIS. This course is prompted by the base dictations of the Berwick Sentinel & Dan ville Intelligence!', both of which papers are controlled by a f.iotion of office-hunters, headed by Evan 0. Jackson; and their dis organizing spirit must he put down to pre serve the union and harmony of 'the demo cratic party herea'fter, and to prevent the few from attempting by management to put down tho will of the many. MOUNT PLEASANT. . Mr. Ingram: As an old Democrat I can not but approve of y ur politicsl course, in endeavoring to sustain the us-ages of the parly. As an editor, you have acted wilh that spirit and adherence to principle", which should have governed tho course of the other pr'fessing democratic papers of this county. Hut if you support the whole tick et you will please allow one of your pa trons to express his opinions, which arc simply in opposition to a sett of Wire-workers and demagogues', who have always de termined on carrying their schemes of in trigue and disorganization in opposition to the will and wishes of the majority of the democratic party. Jackson, Best, and a few Others, h.ive always went against the ticket havB always brought out volunteer candidates, when they fnile.1 in obtaining the nomination of their f.ivoritcr. Shall the do so still, an 1 vet be supported by the party J I, for one; answer NO! They must be put down J icksnn mUf't he de filled and his Mcllnnry & his Lazarus must receive the same fate. I will vote the following ticket, and you may rest as s ii red that nearly all the Democrats of Mount Pleasant, Greenwood, Madison, and Sugar Loaf will vote the same way. For Assembly: JOHN BOWMAN. For Sheriff: JOHN FRUIT. For Treasurer: HUGH McWILLlAMS: For Commissioner: JOHN P. DAVIS. If.I-iekson, and Mcllnnry, and Lazaru-" are defeated we will hereafter not he troub led with Disorganization and Volunteer candidates; and our party will move wilh union and harmony, and always secure the success of the rcgulaily nominated Ticket. A JEFFERSON DEMOCRAT. Mr. Ingram: Notwithstanding your sup port of regular nominations, we wish you to let the people of Columbia county know that we are determined to oppose the elec tion of Evan O. Jackson, and give our votes for John Bowman. Tho character of Mr. Bowman is known to us; and his capacity for the office of a legislator is far superior to Jackson's. This determination Is form- ed on seeing tho course pursued by Evan O. Jackson, and his Berwick paper; and wo arc determined to punish him as a Dis organizer and Factionist. When such men attempt to control the popular will, and set at defiance tho usages of the demo cratic party, we as Democrats, shall mete out a just reward for their treachery, by 1 nuniBhiiig their Me schemes at mo uauoi 1 1 (I V .
