Old Sir. Capcl Molyneux (not the last
'Sir Gapel but is predecessor)was of thoso
butchers of a silk button,' who would not
allow friendship to cool-in the very heat of
of a rencontre. When about 80 he took
offence at something -said by tho late Gen
xral Mahon, then a youngster and major
in the, Oth dragoons, quartored at Armagh;
and ho invited the major to come out to
Castle Dillon, to be shot, and then to break
fast with what appetite ho might. They
fired a brace of pistols, tho young soldier
taking heed to shoot wide of the grey head,
while the palsied hand of tho oldjman was

Tbank yon, Mahon,' said he, -that was
well meant, but come along now we'vo had
-enough of it. My hand is not in this
morning. Let's finish it some other time,'
So saying ho took the major by the arm
and they walked together into the breakfast
parlor, where Lady Molyneux. a pious
woman was waiting with the family prayer

OAMPAIGNE OF 1842.
Under this caption tho Algerino of the
Danvillo Intelligencer, has occupied about
two columns of his paper, in personal and
billinsgale abuso of ourselves, and somo
three or four individuals; as a knock down
for all the vrgumenls we have used in favor
of Removal and against Division. His
abuse of us is too contemptible to be even
noticed, "it passelh by us like the idle
wind,unhesded and unfelt," but if ho thinks
he can make any capital for his division
project by publishing his oft repeated stale,
malicious slanders and falsehoods abiut us
ho may continue to do so.till his hair grows
grey, or until ho becomes himself an hon
est man, for what wo caro. Wo doubt,
however, whether all tho abuso that he, or
his associate speculators can heap upon u8
will satisfy tho peoplo of tho county, that
Danville is any nearer tho centrro of tho
county, than what it actually is, or that it
will render a division of tho county any
moroj palatable to them. Nor will his
denouncing, such men as Daniol Snyder,
John Lazarus, Michael Formvald it J. Mc
Reynolds as knaves.'&'stoo! pigeon' make
the division just, or tho removal unjust.
Thoy are men as far abovo his reach as he
is beneath the notice of a gentleman. They
are known in tho county, and need no de
fence of ours to accusations from so vile a
source. The election slanders and personal
vituperation which the Algerino ha hereto
fore handled so freely in this county, will
no longer answer for facts and arguments,
and if Richard Fruit has no better grounds
for asking for tho votes 'of tho friends of
Removal than that they aro all a set of
knaves1 for agitating tho question at the
piesent timo, we tin ok liiat lie has but a
'ftoaU .akbn on item for support, vA H
his support from them wilt be still smaller
than his claim, if possible. Our reply
therefore to the article in question, will bo
confined to somo particular sentences which
rolato solely to the important question now
before the people uf tho county for their
abjudication; leaving his slanders to recoil
back upon his own head, and that of his
division candidate, as thoy will undoubtedly
and justly do, with thrco fold vengeance.on
tho day of election.
"The assertion of Webb, that Richard
Fruit, the democratic candidate, s pledged
by any connection, or by his word, to
'sustain division,' is an unqualified: false
hood.' '
Jllgcrinc.
When wo mado tho assertion that Richard
rruit, was 'plrdgcd by his connection if
not by his word, to sustain division,' we
thought wo had sufficient evidence in our
possession to sr.tisfy even tho most "credu
ulous of the fret, and not having seen any
reason 'to change our mind since, wo still
think -so. It is well known that a bill was
passodby tho senate last winter making a
new county out of parts of Columbia and
Luzerne, and that Daniol Snyder, in oppo
sition to all the influence that tho Berwick
and Danvillo gcntiy c.ould bring to bear
upon il.defcated it in tho House, & well do
they know that so loi;g as Daniel Snyder is
a member of the house, this unholy project
of theirs never can be effected. In addition
senator Headley's term expires after another
session, when they must give up all hopes
of a division thereafior. Knowing this, it i3
necessary lhat thoy have a member m the
houso lhat will not defeat his bill, rnd who
shall he the man. The Danvillo bore;., at
Harris.urg last winter, openly proclaimed
that they preferred a division to a removal,
and threatened that unless tbo remova
question was abandoned, that they could
and would effect it. Tho Berwick gentle
men, after the adjournment, awcrled that
either a removal or division must take place
and that they had made arrangements with
tho Danville faction to .usln'n a division man
for tho Legislator, and that they would sus
tain no other. John S. Fulmcr.and Richard
Fruit were proposed bolow as candidales for
nomination. The 'democraticJash'niual
-wr-appi.cu-HO-asceriain 'their qffficaTionl '
Fulmer is asked, whether he would go for
uivision.ii elected. He indignantly replied
NO, Then, said the wire workers, you
cannot be tho candidate, Richard Fruil.will
go for the division, and must be our man.
The convention is held,- tho Berwick del
egates, elected by the division men, cast
their votes for Fruit, and by cutting and
carving oi delegates, Fulmer is cheated out
of tho nomination and Fruit placed upon the
ticket. Would ihe Berwick delegates have
n!xnn it-.-.!-. C -i . .
bivuii iHuir voies lor rrun, nuu they not
assurrance that he would sustain their favor
ite measure? Would it not have been a
complete abandonment of tho division?
They are not men who aro to go into a
measure calculated to destroy all their fond
est hopes, without somo show of fjrace being
held up to them. It may bo lhat they have
been deceived and cheated, as others have
been before them by tho same wire workers
but if they were.il was by promises lo the
ear which were broken to the heart. That
they had assurance that Fruit would go for
the division, no one can doubt.and certainly
not, if tho word of a division man is to bo
believed. Since tho nomination, the Sena
tor and the Judge have been electioneering
for Fruit on tho grounds that ho would favor
a division. And yet wo are told that tho
assertion lhat 'Fruit is pledged by his con
nection' to go for 'a division,' is an 'unqual
ified falsehood.' But let ns lake another
view of the case. It is well understood,
both at homo and at llarrisburg, lhat the
question is not now 'removal' or 'no remo
val, but 'removal or division,' and that tho
October election decides the question. It
was claimed by Healley and tho Danvillo
boreru, that a majority of tho counry pre
ferred a division to a removal. If Richard
Fruit is elected will it not bo ratifying this
assertion, and if Daniel Snyder is elected
will it not be contradicting it. Will not the
Legislature bo understand it? Most assur
edly they wili, and it is so intended to be
understood by ihe friends of Richard Ft nit
should he bo olocted, although they now
refuse to call their ticket any other than the
democratic ticRet, thinking by this means
to gull many an honest, well meaning dem
ocrat into its support. Now tho.i.by whom
is Richard Fruit supported ? By the divi
sion men; If elected, by whoso votes will
it be dono? By those of Ihe division men.
Well lhejB,.b,B Js ehjoted by th voles pf tho
ditMioa part, ana. suppose llic qweflu'om;
should come up In tho house between a
division and a removal, which side would
ho lake? would ho go for removal tho
friends of which, opposed him, or would
ho tako tho sido of division, tho friends of
which elected him. Most assuredly tho
latter would bo his course. It would bo
natural for him to stand by his friends
unless, indeed, ho would turn liailor, like
othors for somo immediate supposed per
sonal interest. Is he not then 'pledged
by his connection, for tho division?' Where
is there a man in tho county who does not
believe it? Not one. No, not oven tho
Algcrinc himself. All believe it, in fact
all knoto it. Tho Jllgcrinc may assert lo
the contrary,a3 often as ho pleases. Richard
Fruit may now pledge himself against it
and in favor of removal if ho plcasc3, who
will bslievc him. If before his nomination
he pledged himself to go for a division, who
will placo any confidence in a pledge given
when he finds he is compelled to abandon
his old ground, to secure the least possible
chance of election. If ho lies abandoned
removal for a nomination to Assembly what
will he not do to sccre his election? And
if elected, what will he not do to pay back
somo of ihe debt of gratitude for tho 'gener
erous confidence extended to him, when ho
was in a siate of 'botwixtand botweenily.'
He would be an ungrateful man indeed, if
ho would not rxtend lo thorn the helping
hand in time of trouble. Is tho assertion
unqualifiedly false' that Richard Fruit is
pledged by his connection lo sustain divi
sion?' 'Wo morely ask theso questions for
information.'
"Having no disposition, if wo had tho
power, to dictate, wo purposely refrained
from interfering with the action of tho peo
ple in any manner previous to tho nomina
tion." Jllgerinc.
Did wc not know how little reliance
Ihero is to be pl.ced in the, word of the
Algerino wc should have been astonished at
his making tho abovo bold assertion, but
knowing the recklessness of hi3 courso, in
false electioneering, we must say, that noth
ing eminating from that source, however
lidiculous end absurd, it may creates
anysiirprisa in us. Whaj, tho Ahjerine
lake no part previous to tho nomination?
For what purpose wa3 ho scouring the
county, foi weeks before tio county con.
vention, advocating tire nomination of John
Fulmer and urging the pcop!o lo send dele
gates for him? And not giving him up.until
he was luhipt ivto the harness for Fruit,
during court week. So severe was the
lashing, so hoirlble a slave had ho became;
and co well did ho work iu tho collar
placed upon his neck by a couplo of men,
against whom, no abuso of his had been too
vulgar to bo hurled by his 'democratit
lash,1 tint ho turned round, spaniel liko, and
undertook lo whip Fulmer ir.to the tiaces
too. But ho ran against a snag, and found
a mau not quite as pliablo as himself. For
what purpose was ho 'Jlying up the creek1
a short timo before August court, but to
malie arraugemenla lo secure the election of
John Fulmer, while Fruit's particular
friend and fugler, wa3 in the 6p.ino neigh
borhood, heading his movements. Did ho
not, at that time, get quito angry, and
J a particular individual because lie
would not draw into tho same team that he.
himself was then harnessed in, and out of
which he was so soon after whipt? For
what purpose, duriug court week, while
his back was still smarting under the 'dem
ocratic lash' lhat had been so liberally ap
plied to him, did ho catch every man by tho
sleeve that came in his way, and urge them
lo sustain Fiuit? Was it merely, that ho
might 'not interfere with the action of tho
peoplo before tho nomination,' or was he
not acting himself, but merely as a 'stool
pigeon' for others. For what purposo was
)ie applying his 'democratic lash' to two or
three other individuals to keep them out of
ihe field, lhat they might not 'interfere wjlh
tho arrangements' that his masters had
made? For what purposo was ho promis
ing an office hero and an office there to
secure friends for Fruit? Was all this dono
that ho might not interfere with tho action
of tlis peoplo in any manner, previous to
the election? 'Wo merely ask for informa
tion.' A Cincinnati paper Mates that a farmer,
after standing all day in tho market, ono
day last week.wilh a load of potatoee.with
out finding a purchaser, look them lo Cov
ington, on the opposite side of tho riter, on
his way home, and sold them for six and
fourjh tents per 6iie.
