AND THE
WORTH BRANCH CANAL.
It is, known thai John McReynolds.Esq.
vn&, last February nppointed Supervisor in
;ho place of David ltownover. It, of course
was displeasing to tho Danvillo faction, but,
making n virtuo of necesBity they silently
ncqui'esocd for a lime. The removal que3
lion, being agitated soon after, and John
AlcKeynoliIs taking an active part in its
favor, an opposition was organized against
liim in Danvillo. First they tried flattery
nnd coaxing to prevent his doing any thing
in favor of removal. Finding this would
riot answer, threats were frcoly resorted to
privately, that unless he would abandon
ihe question, they would procuro his dis
charge. Not succeeding in moving him;
all the base means in their power were re
uorled to, to procure complaints against
him The Boatmen, from Danvillo, received
llieir cue, and well did they play it. Every
opportunity was sought to embarrass the
supervisor and the operations on the canal,
during the low water in July, and boats
grounded purposely to create a jam, and in
one instance, a D.anville boatman having
grounded his bort in a narrow part of the
canal, was saved a severe castigalion from
the other boatmen for his conduct, by th
interference of the snpeivisor himself. All
. manner of false rumors were set afloat, and
circulated of course with great rapidity;
until they supposed they had tho public
wind prepared for fuiiher operations, when
petitions were produced, and agents scoured
the county for sijjinlurcs. All thia was
donp, apparently without any head AW
all denying of being participators in these
base transactions; but the election drawing
near, and finding that their secret machina
tions had had no effect at head quaneis.nor
at home, at a caucus in Danville last week,
it was arranged, to now make an open attack
upon tho supervisor. Tho first bulliten
was issued in tho last Intelligencer, and is
characteristic of its authors. It deals in
generals, without a single specific charge,
nor can any be made in truth and justice.
The canal has been in as good order during
the season, so far, as it ever was under
the supervision of their favorite Kownover,
an i with altogether less expense- It isea
ey enough for revengeful and wicked hearts
to conjure up charges against the most
faithful of public officers, but they will find
M more difficult to make them believed.
Tho C&nal Commissioners understand the
object tof the faction in Danville, and we
do not believo they will lend themselves to
aid them in their malicious persecution of
every man who says or does aught against
the present unjust location of the courts of
this county. You might as well case,
ripers, for you knaw against a file.
The Danville democrat warns the people
not to vole for Daniel Snyder, because he is
a democrat, but has no tears to shed through
fear of the election of Fruit. Cause why,
the one is for removal and tho other for
division. Reason enough or him in all
conscience.
"If we cannot beat Daniel Snyder fairly,
we can cheat him out of his election" ex
claimed a division man a few days since,
having become excited at tho prospect of a
def-at. This expicssion discloses the whole
secret operations of the Danvillo faction.
'If wo cannot beat you fairly we can cheat
you," has been the motto upon which they
have always operated in tho county, both at
the nominations nnd elections, but .it has
been left for the present iimo for them
publicly to boast of their ability and willing
ness to do so. But how are they to do it.
Let one of the candidates upon the division
ticket explain. "We can throw into our
mines four or five hundred miners just before
he election, and we can beat you that tvay
if no other," and of a prominent man jn
Danville, "wc can throw into our mines a
thousand miners from SchuylKill county ten
days before tho election, and defeat tho re.
moval any way." .Thus acknowledging
that they are o minority in the county, and
that they cannot expect to defeat tho remo
val candidate without they do rcsoit to
floating and roguery. Tho question arises
will the honest portion of the community
countenance such a disgraceful mode of
carrying an election at any time, much less
when the rights of a whole community are
endangered thereby when thefuluro pros
Parity of tho county depends upon tho result
of an election, which is thus threatened to

will speak in a tone of thunder at the Oc
lober election, proclaiming that they will
have justice, and put down, by votes, hon
estly and fairly polled, all treachery, cheat
ing, and corruption, lot them come from
whatever quarter thoy may. Romcmber
then, freemen; that the watch word of your
enemy is "Victory, by any means, how

battle and fight for "liberty end equality,"
with a determination to conquer, and justice
will prcval.
AND
ANTI DIVISION MEETING.
AT a meeting of a largo number of citizen of
Roaring Creek, held at tho houso of E. Kerne, on
tho Gth of Sept. 1842, Engcl Fox, presided, Mnj.
A. Troxall and Nathan Dricsbacli, Vice Presidents,
VV. D. G. Dischoff, Secretary, it was
Resolved That it was expedient to hold a meet
ing of the
F7JIE.NDS OP REMOVAL,
at tho House of Emanuel Kerne, in Roaring creek,
Saturday, Sept. 17, 1842, nt ono o'clock P. M. to
adopt measures to secure union of action among
the friends of Removal and opponents to Division,
at the approncliing election. It is hoped that all
will attend without distinction of party.
Several addresses may bo expected.
FOR Tlir. COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT.
An address to the friends nf the removal
of the seat of Justice, in and for the count)
of Coluiilbia from Danville to Blooms
burg, or a more central position.
Friends and fellow citizens of the coun
ty of Columbia. Who have, been for a
long lime, and arc still laboring under nn
unequal opportunity of, corresponding to
the scat of Justic; in consequence of the
improper location thereof, while Hie im
mediate inhabitants of the town of Danville
only, arc those who are accommodated and
recivc interest at the expense and inconven
ience of the tnajoiity of the inhabitants of
said county, who have an unquestionable
tight of centering tho seat of Justice, that'
may be equally accommodated, and
repudiate the unjust idea that tho majority
should be oppressively btiithencd foi the
acominodation and convenience of the
minority.
I ho time is now fast approaching when
we will again be compelled to sot forth the
honesty of our demands.and stand unflinch
ing to the contest, or bo burihcned With the
influence of a division. For ve see the
machines of Danvillo again scltner forth in
active operation, and branching out in all
directions, for the purpose of so devising
their plans that they may eventually succeed
in atteclmg the division ol a county, whoso
territory is already loo small to support the
expenses tltercol, without being burthen.
some in the extreme to the inhabitants
therein residing.
Therefore in order to bo amply prepared
lor tue contest, it behooves us to strictly
adhere to the support of our worthy candi-
uaie noininaieu, wno nas laitiiiuiiy borne
the undue seofls and sneers of these oppos
cd to justice, and has honestly stood the
heat of lormer contests unyieldinir to the
dictations of his opponents, and while we
are rallying to his support.we have the con
solation that it will not become our unpleas
ant duly of publicly denouncing his name,
as it has been our duly to do with others
who have betrayed their instructions after
once elected to office. Yet with him who
has wrapped himself in robes of self interest
in open violation to the prayers of his con
stituents, we feel willing to sanction the
outbreak of public indignation upon his
character as a just reward for ins merits.
During the last session of the Legislature,
the snbicct was fairly and can-
didly presented by petitions, &c. sufficient
to convince the most pharuiu mind of man
kind dial wc were laboring under a gieat
injustice, being compelled to cross almost
the whole territory of Columbia county to
the line of the adjoining Northumberland
county, in order O make regular returns
and attend courts, sie. Yet tho justice of
our demands have been disregarded and we
still remain deprived of that which candid
consideration and honesty of principle, could
not hesitato. to grant. When out worthy
representative Daniel Snyder was contend
ing for the removal, ho was treated with
contempt by the Danvillites, who said tlrd
petitioners were easy to bb had at two cents
per head, and that those presented were
such, likewise deny his aulhoiity to
agitate tho removal question, saying that he
had notbien elected for that purpose, and
daicd him to ofl'ei himself as a candidate
upon that question He is now willing by
tho solicitation of his friends, to accept the
challenge, and should nothing serious dis
tract the organized ranks of the removal
parly, we will unveil the groundless author
ity of their assertions, by again placing the
man of our choice to his former station, as
an honest rnpi'cSrnlaiivi!.
But should we again bp defeated in our
object, it will but tjcrpen the impression
upor. the minds of the inhabitants of Dan
ville that defending a civil war in not attend
cd with as small expense, us the bringing
of it into operation. And if they deem it
expedient to rent for any longer timo the
seat of justice, we will endeavor to raise an
additional fpjif joc thorn to pay,anu luoroby
give them an oppritlunlly of keeping up the
circulation of their so called electioneering
Yellow Boys.
We have already too long depended upon
others to think and act for us, but now we
will placo ourselves in defence of a just
cause and turn out tho hard handed yeoman
ry of Columbia dounty, to bear up tho
banner upon which is insciibcd the wntch
word of REMONAL and NO DIVISION.
Therefore knowing that Daniel Snyder the
removal candidate, has proven himself true
to our cattso, wo will rally around the polls
and pour out our support in his favor as a
long and a strong pull for removal, and the
Danvillites will find it difficult to raise num
bers by the names of those who are only
accounted for by their epitaph upon the
lomb stones, as wc might challenge they
had dono upon their remonstrances against
the removal.
The principal articles of our frce'consli"
tution crants unto tho maiorilv the nower
of ruling, And tho majority of tho inhabi
tants of Columbia county have oft and again
proven their number by petitions.tnd mem
bers elected to represent their right of
demand. Nevertheless they are still com
pelled to petition, mid no doubt will be un
der the necessity of continuing to petition,
until a majority of the members of the sen
ale alone experience honesty sufficient to
acknowledge tho constitutionality of our
demands, and grant a removal. Therefore
friends-, of removal, again arouse and meet
the divisionites boldly at tho ballot box,
without regard to politics, unite upon sop
porting the removal ticket, the whole ticket,
and nothing but the ticket, and discounte
nance all others, and a majority of one
thousand at least will bo inscribed in favor
of our removal candidate; while ho will
start for Harrisbtirg, as a guardian to oti
imcrrsis, ami to release tlio seat ol justice
which is held as a prisoner at Danville.

of Justice from Danville to Blooinsbuig.
It appears from the published notice of the
Democratic Standing Committee, that no
party nominations will be made, this fall, so
as to give the citizens an opportunity of
testing what has long been an exciting queV
in that county, the removal of the Seal of
Justice. The friends of removal have nom

Sxvdeu, late member of the House, and
a most excellent and worthy man.
