gomeryiU travelling llie counly dealing out
his low ami oft repeated falsehoods relating
to Daniel Snyder and ourselves, for the pur
jiose of turning the attention of the people
from Ike main question oeiore u:em. un
Saturday last he attended a meeting held in
Perry and spoko for an hour, tho whole
luitlien of his speech being a reckless tissue
of low, vulgar blackguaidism, detraction and
falsehoods, that would have disgraced the
varies! street brawler in a drunken frolic at
Ymilisia muster. He received, however,

coud bo given by on intelligent, disgusted,
and insulted people. They all eft him and
silently retired beyond the sound of his
voice. Never was a man more severely
mortified and chop-fallen. He looked as if
he was calling upon the earth to swallow
him, that he might avoid any further notice
He quickly jumped into his carriage and
made all haste for Danville, and wo hope
he has been now practically taught a lesson
which ho Ought long since to have known,
that although such vile j contemptible elec-
' tionecring may answer for tho meridia n of
Danville, tho intoligent freemen of the coun
ty will not receive vituperation and slander
as arguments against tho election of an hot:
eat man, nor win tney uu mauo o ucnuve

that they mane a removal any more unjust,
or a division any more just. No, nor will
they blieve that a man, who requires such a
eomse of electioneering to sustain him, any
more worthy of their support. It will re.
coil back upon their heads with ten fold force
on (ho 11th day of October next, when the
reemen of the county will speak, with one
voice of thunder through the ballot boxes,
and placo their vote upon such baso and con
temptible electioneering, by giving Daniel
Snyder at least oho thousand majority over
Hichard Fruit, whose only claim to their
mnnort. is the ability, with which his
friends aro able to wield a weapon ten
times more to be dreaded in society, than
.the assassins dageer.
It is an old trite saying that, men's poc
kets governs their principles and actions,
and never was it more completely verified
than in the conduct of the Danville faction.
They have always been loud in their de
nunciations againt incorporations and banks,
in the electioneering campaigns whenever
they supposed they could advance their in
terest thereby; but as soon as the election
was over they were as eager to embark the
whole nog tn them, as they hau Deiore
been zealous against them, It seems that
the fevor takes them but once a yoar.
Wm. Colt vas elected to tho Legislation

We, thc undersigned Citizens of the
county of Columbia, in order to set at rest
the unfounded clamor respecting the great
expenco to the people of erecting tho pub
lic buildings at Bloomsburg in case a re
moval of seat of the Justice shall be effected,
hereby individually and collectively pledge
themselves, lo tqke the county title to the
lots and county buildings at Danville into
their own hands, and will then furnish the
samo quantity of laud, Deeded to the coun
ty without reserve, and will erect thereon
at Bloomsburg, public buildings that shall
at least be equal to those at Danvillo iu
every particular, without any expense to
people of tho couoty. We hope this will
satisfy our Danville neighbor.lhat they will
not be called apon for any part of the
$20,000, which they allego will have to be
collected by way of Tax for new buildings.

Philip Bilmcycr says he does not know
how he has insulted the people in the cen
tre of the enmity, unless il be, because he
refused to publish his notices in the centre
of the county, and thought it a sufiisient
notico lo them, if handbills were stuck up
in taverns. You have hit it exactly, Mr.
Bilmeyer. The people in the ccnlre.lhiuk
they have as good right lo learn what you
are about in your office, through the mcili
urn of their paper, as tho aiistocracy of
Danvillo or Berwick. But perhaps Mr.
Bilmeyer, supposed ai others in that inter
est asserted, that the people in the middle
section "were an ignorant ser," and by go
ing to tho tavern, they could get some one
to read the notices to them. This may, or
may not be so. It looks like it. Mr. Bit
meycr, may say what he pleases, he did
treat the centie of ilia county rascally in
withdrawing his advertisements fiom us.
What are the (acts, the law requires him to
publish his notice in two papers in the
county, for which he gets pay from the e
tate. After his appointment from the go
vernor, and when he was looking out foi an
election frum the people he advertised in
the Democrat, Sentinel and Intelligencer.
Dividing hc two prices among the three.
After his election he withdrew thoadvertis
ing from us, and gave the whole to the two
other papers. Il is known that the demo
cratic party, after his nomination, sustained
him, some portion of the removal party,
however, sent delegates against him. Was
this a sin? It seems so, and this was lo be
visited upon our heads, and to punish the
people, he took from us the small pittance
of six or eight dollars a year by giving his
advertisement to Berwick and Danville, thus
throwing contempt and insult into. the faces
of the very men who voted for him, and
saying in strong language, that he cared
nothing for them now, he had got Hut he
wauted, and they might tike care of them
selves. But now he wants another term in
addition to the two he has already served,
and he has plenty of honied words for all
who will vole for him. Will he get many
in the removal interest. Have you any
assurance that ho will not treat you with
the same contempt hereaftett He is now
pepitent, it is true, but will he not turn his
back upon you after the election! He done
it before, why uot now! He holds out to
you one hand in friendship to get your
votes, while the other he is aiming a dagger
at your heart by advocating Fiuit. Let
him alone, atrd let those who he supports
vote for him, but you should vote for tho
men who sustain vou. "Take care of your
friends first, aid if you have any thing left
give it to your enemy." This is an old
proverb. Practice upon it and give your
votes one and all, for CHARLES CON
NER, ancljet his vote be equal with that of
Snyders, and all will bo well, and Mr.
Bilmeyer allowed to patronize such papers
as he pleancB at his own expense, and not
it that of the people.
LOOK OUT.
For false handbills on the eve of the elec
tion. The county will bo flooded with
them when it is too late to contradict them.
Especially bewareof one that it is said the
Danville faction are to circulate on the day
of the election, that Daniel Snyder has
withdrawn fiom the contest. It will be
false of course. Be piepi red for them, and
kick the circulator out of company. Let
him go back to Danvillo with bis head
t
The sheriff gives tiotlao thai the Elec
tion in Orangevitle is to be held at the house
Geoige Seiples, instead of L C. Johnson,
as his proclamation directs
YlIK ELECTION.
This is the last paper that we shall issue
before tho people of this county will be
called upon to give their decision through
the ballot boxes, upon a question of im
men bo importance to the inhabitants and
their futuie prosperity. The county is
threatened by a division. Berwick is aux
ious for it,-because Berwick is io be inadc
the seal of justice, and Danville, because it
would pieveiit a rtniuval. These two fac
lions are now united in this grand object
because their gods are in danger and noth
ing will save the county from destruction
but a removal, and they know it; Heaven
and earth are moved, fraudbills, containing
gross and unfounded charges against Daniel
Snyder are circulated, the paper of tho AI
geriue is filled with personal abuse of indi
viduals, hired bullies are travelling the couu
ty circulating their vile and malicious slau
durs, and yet nut one argument is brought
I'orwmd, why the county should be decided
or the courts remain at Danville, for thu
best of reasons, they have none. But it is
by such vile uicaiis that they intend to de
ceive and cheat the people out of their
rights. But will they do it? Can they do
it? No. The people know their riglils,
and will maintain them.
THE GREATEST HUMBUG YET.
A Danville man was in MilHiu last week
electioneering against Snyder, because he
was in favor of a division. We have been
prepared to hear of almost any chaige that
ingenuity"br knavery could invent, brought
against him, but we were wholly unprepar
ed for this, wo did not suppose that any
man would have brass enough to make the
assertion, but it seems we need not be as
tonished at any thing they may try. Not
even if they should assert thai he was anti
removal. Ouo would be as true as the
other.
IF I'lSHULDtAIN.
On Tuesday next, face it for one day.
Remember that you have faced it many a
cold, bleak, stormy day in winter, aye,
nights too, in travelling ten miles further to
the seal of justice at Danville, than you
ought to have done.
TURN OUT. TURN OUT.
Now is tho lime for a LONG pull, a
STRONG pull, and -a pull ALL TO
GETHER. GET OUT THE VOTERS'
The only hope that the division party
have of success is, thai the friends of remo
val will not turn out on the day of election,
We trust our friends in the different town
ships will disappoint tho Danville faction,
in this respect, by getting EVERY MAN
TO THE POLLS, We must nul only
beat our opponents, but we must complete
ly rout ih a in. Awake then, and be up and
doing.
BEC7fUTlCUS.
Be cautious, and disbelieve every asser
tion that the Danville faction may make in
regard to the removal candidate before you
Our opponents are desperate, and will re
sort lo any means lo defeat us.
REMOVAL MEN.
Give one day to your country turn out
on Tuesday the lllh of October, and poll
every vote. Let no man stay at home. It
is important. Your enemy is at work,
using every dishonorable means in their
power to defeat the removal. They even
threaten pipo laying in Danville, To the
polls then, let nothing keep you away, and
lake your neighbors with you.
Considerable excitement exists In Beaver
count), iu this Stale, created by an order In
sell certain lands by the Cnmmissioners of
the Nicholson Estate. The list of lands
so directed to be sold, embrace tracts exceed
ing one hundred thousand acres, now in
possession of hundred of persons who never
dreamed that there was any other claim
than their own upon them. A public
meeting of the citizens has been held to
adopt measures for mutual protection and
safely. Nicholson, it would appear fiom
reports made to the Legislature, whiln acting
as Comptroller of the Stato Treasury, ''prior
to 1700, entered lands to a great extent,
and took the public funds for tho pur
chase; consequently he soon berame a
defaulter to a large amount, for which a
judgment was ablained, binding, it is asmiint
ed, tins large property; and of course affect
ing many innocent persons. The Com
missioners havo allowed the claimants a
few days to compromise the matter with
the State, but the Beaver county people
seem determined to lake the matter before
the highest tribunal, and compel the State
to,a legal iflvesligMioo of its clajjg.

They have may extensive public buildings

credulity of mankind, and the ignorance of
