THE TRUE ISSUE.
Do the peoplo of tho county understand
the Ituo issue to bo decided at the October
election? is a question asked of us almost
daily, and tho only answer wo can give is,
that wo tear not by all, though wc are
satisGcd that a largo proportion do, ' and
will act accordingly. Dut what is the true
and only real issue.? Wo answer, a 're
moval or division.' Out wo are asked, can
not wo prevent a division without a remo
valf No. The upper portion of tho county
ore determined to have one or Ihe other,
-and if tho removal is killed, a union will be
bad upon the division, and then the county
tvill be distracted not by the removal' but
by tho 'division question.' Tho Danville
faction may throw around it, all the false
coloring that their inventative imagination
can conceive, and It will not change the true
issue. They may say that they are oppos-
n to division,- that they want to keep the
county together that they are opposed to
removal on account of tho expense thev
may make false issues by attnrkitiir the
private character or Daniel Snyder, and
impugn his votes in the Legislature they
may denounce every removal man 'as a
knave' and 'stool pigeon' and shout 'pirate
ism' until their throats become hoarse, and
yet tho TRUE ISSUE will be the same
REMOVAL or DIVISION.' And will
not tho Danville faction prefer the latter?
would it not bo natural? By removal they
loso the courts, by division they retain
them, and of course of two evils to them,
they will choose tho least. Indeed, they
have repeatedly declared, that before a re
tnoval should tako place, they could and
would effect a division. Out having been
defeated in their division project of last
winter, they now raise a hypocritical cry
against a division in the cnunty.lhinking.by
that means to stifle the cry for a removal.
Are they any the less friends of division
now than they were last winter? will they
1)0 any the less ready to assist Senator
Headley at the next session than they were
at the last? that they did so, we have poi
nive proof in their acts at Harrisbtirg. So
well was their course understood there, that
"Senator Kidder.while opposing tbe passige
of Mr. Headley's new county bill, publicly
declared in debate, that the division was ad
vocated by the gentlemen then present from
Danville. Did Mr. Headley deny it ? No.
Did the gentlemen themselves deny it! No.
Has the Algerine denied it in his paper,
ihough often charged upon them by us?
No. They know that proof is at ha.id, and
they dare not. Hut they can skulk around
the county, and deny it to the private ear
They can procure their candidate to pledge
himself against it, after he finds thai the
people have become aroused, and that noth
ing else will save him. A year ago their
candidate professed friendship for the remo
val, at least until that time, lie had always
-acted with the removal parly. Since that
he Has asserted that a division was prefera
ble to a removal And now, to induce the
Danville fiction, who have always here
tofore been his open and avowed enemies,
to take him as a candidate for the Legisla
iure, ho pledges himself against both. Can
'such pledges be wortS any thing? Will
the.people trust to a man their dearest
rights as citizens, who can so quickly turn
against his best friends regardless of all
'formei pledges to them, and the obligations
wuder which they have laid him by their
acts of friendship to him, when he and his
particular friend was beset by the very men
into whose hands ho -has now thrown him
selfi No they cannot, and will not. It is
not, however.whethet this or that man shall
-be elected to the Legislature, but whether
the removal or division shall tako place.
One or the oihsr must take place, and that
too shortly. Choose ye between them.
If you PREFER A REMOVAL YOTE
xOR DANIEL SNYDER.
If you PREFER A DIVISION VOTE
fOR RICHARD FRUIT.
For upon the result of the-election on the
1 1th of October uext depends the fats ol
voiumoia county. Kemember then the
Watch word, 'Removal and no Division.'
Our friends thioughout tho county should
oear in mir.d that the approaching election
if o(. far more than ordinary iroportanee.-
tt is not whethdr this or that man shall "bb
elected to tho Legislature it is not whether
wis or that political pariy shall triumph
No. Dut whether the county of Columbia
shall be destroyed by a division, or the
distracted state of tho people bo forever put
at rest, by a removal. Remember that you
aio voting not for tle man only, but for the
question for or against division for or
against a temoval.and that the result of this
election decidis tho fato of tho county cither
for weal or for woe. Let not then tho vile
slanders of your opponents drive you from
your interest, and if you liavo pressing
business on the second Tuesday of October
put it aside for one day and cast your vole
lor him whom ou know will watch over
your rights, and protect the county from
dismemberment.
PIPE LAYING.
We aro taken lo do by the Algerine, for
saying that the Danville faction had threat
enud to import votes into Danville, to be
used at the October election. We repeat
what we have said upon the subject, ant
the Algerine virtually admits the fact, when
he savs that they x'ill poll more than seven
hundred voles in Mahoning and Valley, as
it is well known that they have not now
over five hundred legal voters in the two
townships, and all they poll over that, are
the effect of "pipe lat ing." It is easv
enough to insert on the list some two or
three hundred ficticious names; and, if they
can get men base enough to assume ilium,
to increase iheir vote thus much. It has
been dune under less desperate circumstan
ces than that in which the Danville faction
is now placed. Men who will use corrupt
and dishonorable means in the beginning ol
an act will not stop at any thing, however
base to consumate it.
ROARING CREEIC MEETING.
In another column wo publish tho pro
ceedings of a meeting of a Uro number of
the friends of removal held in Roaring
Creek, on Saturday last. Wo seldom have
attended a meeting where mote union and
harmony of feeling pervaded than was
manifested there, notwithstanding some five
and twenty of the Danville peoplo were on
the ground endeavoring lo create a disturb
ance and break up the meeting. Dut being
fulled at the outset, in their attempt to get
control of the meeting by appointing a
president of Uie'tr kidney, they retreated
into one corner of the barroom, where they
held a meeting, including about a dozen
men, from Roaring Creek, whom John
Rhodes, John Fruit, am! Richard Fruit had
spent three days in drumming up for the
contest, & passed some flaming resolutions,
written by John G'. Montgomery, all fur
the love of the dear people. Their resolu
tions no doubt, will be ushered fotth, as
the voice of Roaring Creek, and spread
before the people as the unanimous senti
ments of the inhabitants of that township,
but we can assure our friends that the peo
ple of that township understand their inter
est too well to be gulled into the support of
a man. who has linked himself with the
Danville faction, and turned traitor to his
furmer,friends for the purpose of destroying
the best interest of the county. Roaring Oieek"
is good for three to one against Fruit, so
say our friends in the disftict. -
THE SUPERVISOR.
For several weeks the D.inville faction,
have been secreiely and insiduously endea
voring to injure John MeReynolds, tho
supervisor on the North Bianuli Canal.buth
at home and abroad, for tho purpose of we
aling an influence against the removal ques
tion and Daniel Snjder, but finding their
secret operations had no effeel, they ate
now attempting to destroy him, with their
base and voaudalous falsehoods through the
columns of the Algerine. In the last Intel
ligencer they intimate that John MeRey
nolds offered lo betray the removal parly if
they would stop their opposition to liui.
A more foul and malicious falsehood never
was littered by man, and lie who wrote
that aiticle in question knows it to be so.
This course, however, is in character, with
their usual operations, first flatter and coax
and promise office, then persecute slander
and abuse then, by baseless thaiges,
attempt to destroy tho coulidencu of the
(riends of removal in every prominent man
who lakes an active pari in the cause.
This game has been of some advantage to
them heretofore.and knowing the Jiopelesij.
ness of their present situation, and despair
ing of electing Richard Fruit unlets they
can create division and jealousy in our
ranks, their personal arrows are hurled at
everyone whom they havo Jheleastpoa-
stbU chance ot affecting! As it respects
Mr. MeReynolds, by his letter which fol
lows, they have a chance to fire upon him
their charge, if they have it In their power.
Ho asks them to publish any letter of his,
whether it was diieetcd to one who
had always professed friendship for him, &
who, to say the least, had been laid under
obligation by the acts ofMcReynolds which
would have induced an honorable man. not
to have joined in the unholy ctusade against
him, for a Utile supposed personal benefit
to another. But It seems as if the noxious
vapors of the political region of Danville,
destroys all sense of honorable feelings of
gratitudefor past favors of friendship in
the breast of every man who removes tvilh
in its bounds, or inhales its blighting
breeze.
Buck Horn, Sept. 10, 1842.
Mn. Webb,
Sir, in the Danville intellicenccr.of the
10th inst. V.Best says that I wrote a letter
to an individual of Danville telling what I
had done; and intimatinrr that I would do
more hereafter, if required, thereby inti
mating mat I was willing to go against the
removal party in this county. Now Sir,
if Mr. Best, or any of his friends, has any
such Idler, it will be an easv matter to sat
isfy the public of my willingness to betray
the party, by a publication of the letter in
the columns of the Danville Intelligencer,
which would be much more to the point
than his comments; as an intelligent com
munity will be altogether as competent to
judge as he is.
You will oblige me by giving the above
a place in the Columbia Demo
crct.
Yours, &c.
JOHN McREYNOLDS.
We learn fiom Roarinii Creek, that the
course pursued by the Danville faction, in
attempting to prevent a ftee expression ol
the citizens of the township in a matter
winch deeply interests tliomselves, at the
late lemoval meeting held at Mr. Kerns, is
recoiling upon their mm heads with ten
fold force. The people indignantly meal
the idea, thai they are not qualified to judge
ol their own tnttrest and wiahes, and that
they can be brow beaten io abandon a mea
sure for which they have fought for thiriv
years.by the Danville faction. They aro too
intelligent and understand their interests loo
well to be doped and lorced to go against
their well known interest and that ol the
county. It has spread a spirit abroad inthal
township, winch will teach the wire work
ers of Danville a lesson on the secondTues-
day of October which they will not suun
lorget.
The Algerine asks us to publish what he
calls a correspondence between certain men
in Urange and (jieeuwood townships, and
Richard Fruit. We would have no hesita
tion in publishing it, did we not know thai
it is not what u purports to be. The signers
were merely instrument? in the hands of
some Danville men to blind the people as
lo the true issue beforu them. The corrcs
pondence was written in Danville, and u
young lawyer despatched with orders to
procure as many names to be attached to it
as could be found willing in those townships
lo be used blind-folded, and we will bet a
grain of honesty with any man in Danville
it thai murii can be found there to be stak
ed, that neither of those who signed
the letter to Richard Fruit, saw the
rtply of Fruit, after his signature was at-
iached,until ii was published by ilia Alge
rine.
By the way, has the Berwick Sentinel.
the Danville Intelligencer, or the Danville
Uemocial heard thai a Democratic Removal
Convention was held at Uloomsburg, on the
29th of August. IJ they have.their patrons
in the lemoval inttrest would like lo know
the result of that convention. They are
entitled lo some little notice from thetn for
iho aid they render towards their support.
1 lie obligation must be all one side, one
would think irom their untie-l opposition to
the interest of the friends of removal. Will
they brook it.?
The Danville Democrat is out against
'Jharles Conner us a candidate for Register
and Rei'tmler, because he is u removal man,
thus showing their preference furP.Uilmeyer
because he is opposvU to lemoval. Tin; two
tickets arc now fairly b'efwre the public in
iheir Irue character, pledgtd for aiuhjgainst
removal, then let lliat be the test vole.
Philip Bilmeyer has heretofore insulted
Ji''!!52il? ?f!?22S! fefming to give
thorn any information si to the businoM o(
his office, rfnd now, notwithstanding his
secret electioneering, among the removal
parly to persuade them not to let' that ques
tion Interfere with his election, is endeavor
ing to injure Charles Conner, among the
opponents of removal, upon the local ques
tion. This is a species of false election
eering truly. Let our friends remember
htm.
d ii
The Algerine speaks in high praise of
Richaid Fruit, tho division candidate for
Assembly, and lauds his political integrity to
tho skies. What, tho people of Columbia
county placo confidence in Richard Fruit
the man who four years since abandoned
his pol'tical party and voted against their
(avoritu candidate for governor, and who
hat now abandoned the removal parly with
whom he has acted for seyetal years, and
with whose assistance his brother was
elected sheriff, and (lung himself into the
keeping of Hs enemies, upon conditions
that they would take him as their candidate
for the Legislature This is the man in
whom ihc people are called upon to place
confidence and abandon the removal to
sustain? The Algerine must, call on his
immediate serfs, they arc dutiful subjects
and will obey, none otheis will answer.

BEWARE OF FALSE ELECTION
EERING. We cannot loo often wain the people to
beware of the "(also electioneering" of the
Danville faction. They arc already flood
ing the county with handbills, making per
sonal and abusive attacks upon the character
ot Daniel Snyder, and other friends of the
removal. Nothing is too (uul or base for
them to resort (o, if it wilt have the least
tendency to defeat the removal. Therefore,
we caution all to beware of their false &nd
villainous handbills which they will issue
daily from tho press of '.lie Algerine, and
circulated by tho hands of the sheriff of the
county, while travelling through it election
eering for his brother.
