To the Electors. 0 Columbia County. 1
At the cameat solicitation of a lare num
ber of my friends, who are well acquainted
with my situation and circumstances, I have
permitted my name to bo brought before the
public as a candidate for the office of Sheriff
f Columbia county, and having done so,
I now respectfully solicit your support. I
am aware that almost every individual who
present himself to the public for an office
as, or at least thinks he has, strong
claims upon his friends, for their support,
and whether those claiinshire real or uurcal,
ho will endeavor to urge them. Knowing
this, it is with reluctance that I now attempt
to give the reasons which I think should be
sufficient to draw around me my numerous
friends who have known me in active polit
ical life for the last twenty years but thd
duties I owe to myself and to my family,
ever ome niy scruples, and compel me for
ward to the unpleasant Usk. I commenc
ed active life with slender means, thouch
with a stout heart and sttonff hands, and
through industry and economy I had accu
muiaie a small property, with a growing
family, and I looked forward with pride to
the day, when I flattered myself I should
be placed beyond the reach ' of want, and
ve secured to myself a comfortable living.
But in an hour when least expected, ray
bright hopes wero, in a measure, blasted
by the fell destroyer fire. Three years
since having commenced the business of
a carpenter and cabinet maker, and having
procured the necessary tools and u large
quantity of slock, I was defeated in my cal
culations by having my shop, tools, and
stock on hand entirely consumed bv fire.
by which I last about $1400. I was con
sequently for a tunc, flung out of business,
engulphed in a debt which still hangs heavy
on my shoulders, and which, if I am una
bio soon to relieve myself from, will bear
me down. Of my political or moral char
acler, it becomes mo not to speak, they are
well known to the publicjsjcrterally. Of my
ability to perform the duties of the office
thoso who are acquainted with me are the
best judges, Under these circumstances
I throw myself before the public, and asli
of them, a kind thought, if not of action
towards enabling me to bo placed in a situ
ation tnat 1 may relieve mysell lrom my
present embarrassments whilo I faithfully
serve them Should I be so fortunate as to
be elected, I pledge myself that no exertion
on my part shall bo spared to perform th
duties of the officio to the satisfaction of tits
public, so that all who sustain me either by
their influenco or votes, will have iho con
Eolation of reflecting, that whilo they have
enabled me to relieve myself from my mis
fortunes, their confidence has not been mis
placed.

"MAIL ARRANGEMENTS,"
Wo regret to see any disposition on tho
part of a lew individuals in Uanvillo to in
leifero in local questions here, particularly
When tho democratic part of that county
have trouble enough with similar difiicu
tics at home. As to any change having ta
ken place in tho time of cariving tho mail
from Philadelphia to Reading it is all a mis
take lor it is now. carried in conlormity
with tho original contract. Lint now an
chnngo in carrying tho mails from Phi
deinhia, Reading, or Pottsvills, could affect
the citizens of Danville or Cattawissa, we
aro at a less to imagine: because they are
such an industrious and enterprising pcopl
that they believe in and practice the motto
ol our vencraWIo prolotypo
" Early to bed, and eirly to rise,
Mafces a man hcalty.wcalthy and wise;'
and consequently whether tho mails arnv
at one o'clock in the morning.oryiueo'cloc
in the morninjr. wo should presume an im
material matter to them, unless a peculia
correspondence wero'kept up between thi
'Water Power" and "Steam Power" of
what they term "tho great Iron region of
Pennsylvania."
These remarks are net alone induced by
an acquaintance with tho names of the indi
viduals who have petitioned for an altera
tion, nor by tho ariiclo in the last "Danville
Intelligencer;" but from a knowledge of
the operations which have been zealously
attempted at Washington City by one, who
lends all his official influence to aid the Fe
deral party here in putting down John
Wiiavek, Esq. against whom ho has con
coived a personal dislike, or otherwise ho
would not employ the means ho does, nor
apply the epithet of "a pot contractor."
Tho Intelligencer speaks of complaints in
"tho Susquehanna country." Wo aro sur
prised at this particularly when it ema
nates from a Deputy Post Master one who
should know that no change has been
7nade, and who is certainly aware that all
mails at Danville, Cattawissa, Bloomsburj,
Berwick, &c. aro carried on the route from
Northumberland to Wilkesbarre, and that
the stages in which they are conveyed north
do not roach even Danvill until U or 12
'clock in the rnorninfreach'day. The In-
telligencer also, alleges lhat,"our member of
Congress (T)oct. Peftikinis expected to do
ins utmost to nave tno matter adiustod."
tid requests that " Members from districts
not interested, will refrain from improper
interference." We can only say, that so
far, Dr, Petrikin, through a connexion with
Lewis Audenried, the agent of the Anti-bet-paying
lino, and a notorious Federalist.who
was beat in this county last fall by 900 ma
jority, when the federal candidato for pro
thonotary, pid by some management with
the aristocratic managers of the Reading
Rail Road, has made arrangements to suit
his venomous palate; and that the combined
nlluenco of l'eueralism and Treachery are
now "glorytying in tho hope that thoy
have accomplished tho first step towards
sacrificing their hated "pet contractor."
liut they will linu themselves deceived as
heretofore, and we should rather prognosti
cate a sactifice of themselves, particularly
when an occasion oilers in which the dem
ocrats 01 acnuyiKiu may ho called upon to
express their sentiments at tho ballot-box.
vo will not say who has less interest, as a
Congressional representative, than Doct.
Pctrikm 111 this question; but if the Renrc
sentatives from this district, Berks and
Northumberland have no nore interest in
hub rouie man juoct, rottiKin, mat at once
we agree that we are no more a conttactor
on the Cattavissa rail road, in partnership
with sundry distinguished federalists, than
the gentleman who claims so extensive a
jurisdiction over tho route, and who, in
conjunction with tho federal party, exerci
sc3 so much ingenious malice to put down
a firm and unflinching advocate of demo
cratic measures and democratic candidates,
