We Iiave.npt time to fol!oyvlhe til lie man
through all UU uviljcious and envious wind
ings to depreciate tho advantages of Bloom
and vicinity for the manufactory of Iron.
His determination to destroy tho business
prospects of every portion of tho county,
except Danville, is loo evident to every one,
to rcquiro any thing more than merely to
be pointed at to show tho baseness and do
prauty of his heart, and the hypocracy of
his professions.when ho expresses a wish to
sec other portions of the county (louridi.
His column of misrepresentations and false
hoods in relation to the "Fishing Creek
water power," and his assertion of his
" positive knowledgo" that no iron works
will bo erected on the Creek, are of a piece
with his wholo lifo, and has as little truth
to sustain it as ho lias honesty in his char
acter. His " thrust" at tho Iron Compa
ny," or at individuals, will not make them
rush into buahics until they arc prepared to
commonce their works without tfio necessa
ry funds to enable them to at least pay their
workmen, and not compel them to wait for
months, aye, for yoars for thoir wages, or
Lhovo'them qA' with orders on stores, when
they would bo compelled to pay double
price for every thing they buy, and thus
cheat them out of half, if not the whole, of
their hard earnings. No, whenever they
commence business, it will be upon the
" specie basis" principlo, that they may not
be haunted and dunned for deits of five or
ten dollars due workman, and finally bo
compelled to transfer "stock and flute" to
put oil the day of payment, perhaps forov
cr. Thero will be no " bubble bursting,"
" sscnu shifting" operations with them.
No condemning others for doing their duty,
while they have been negligent of their
own. Theirs will be a permanent establish
nieiii, oakulutcd to benefit tho community
around them, as well as themselves. No
" gourd-liko growth," coming into exis
tertco to-day, and going out to-morrow ,and
inflicting misery and want on thousands of
poor laborers andtmcchanics. Nor will they
be managed by reckless speculator's, who
have every thing to gain, and nothing to
loose, but by responsible citizens who aro
known, and in whom the community can
confide Such an establishment will be a
blessing and not a curse, and such n one
will bo erected on Fishing Creek and that
t o without s'.ciim, before many months ihali
have passed, the whining, croaking and
misrepresentation of the tittle man to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Vv'ho is Vatcntinc Best ? Is it the eamc
being who, several years since, was a Jour
noyman printer in Washington City, and
left for reasons known to himself and for
which he had a certificate at the time.
Is it the samo man who, when he cstab
lished a paper in Danville some ten or
twelve years since, pledged himsolf to op
pose tho removal of tho Court's, and who
has been sustained thero, at considerable
cost, for that purpose T
Is it tho same person who has been a vi
olcut opponent of banks, while at tho samo
time he has been a hirer of money from
banks, and who like an ungrateful villian,
turned round and attempted to ruin the very
men who had befriended him by endorsing
his Notes.
Is it the samo person, who has regularly
every year, for several weeks before tho
election, filled his paper with abuse, slander
and shameful personal attacks upon individ
uals, to either gratify a personal feeling, or
for private interest ?
Is it tho same man who, has never in any
one instance, sustained tho ticket, unless it
was composed of men whom he believed
would bo subservient to him and the Dan
ville interest?
Is it the samo man who is now issuing
his weekly btillilans of tirades and slander
against individuals, for tho purpose of coerc
ing them into his miaiure3 ?
Is it tho sumo man, who laat fall, whon he
found he could not bo placed upon tho tick
et, urged his friends to separate! and hold a
aeparato Convention, and thus divido and
distract the democratic parly.
