DANIEL SNYDER'S VOTES.
"Under this caption, John G. Montgome
ry, publishes in ll:e lost paper of the Mgr.'
rine, ,n long list of what ho calls Daniel
Snyder's votes in the Legislature, and a
bach of mote Jesuitical, malicious, false
misrepresentations were never given to the
public. The intimation, ton, that those
votes were given upon the main question, a
wholly false and gratuitous.
Daniel Snyder, unlike John G. Mont
goraery, xas always been a uniform, con
sistent, decided democrat,, None of your
lime serving, changing policy men, and as
such he was elected by the democratic par
ty, snd having been so elected he sustained
the interests of the party without any
ehilking or dodging. And we defy J.G.
'Montgomery, the, Algerine, or anyof the
Danville faction, to point out a single prom
inent vote of his .in the Legislature, where
he was not sustained by tha democratic,
members, not only in the house of repre
sentatives, but in the, senate. Even the vote
of David D. Montgomery, the brother of
John. G. Montgomery is placed side by side
with that of Daniel Snyder, in the votes
Tecited, and yet John G. Montgomery, is
willing to outrage the feelings of a brother,
nnd denounce the whole of the democratic
members of the house in order to injure the
election of Dsniel Snyder, because it voouti
he againtt hit perianal interest, and be
beneficial to the county generally. And
this act will be considered still more dotes
table on the part of S. G. Montgomery,
when it is known, that David B. Montgom
ery lost his re-election by allowing himself
to be used ss a mere tool andsyccophanl of
'tis .brother .to advance At j private interest
and' that 0 the Danvilleaction.
We shall not attempt to follow him thro
fill the catalogue, but merely glance at some
.-of the votes mentioned in the article to
how the utter recklessness of the writer,
and how little dependence t-an.bo .ptaced
lapon the remaining portion of his statement.
The article says that Daniel Snyder
'Voted to increase the state debt $800,
O0." This bill was authorting the governor to
Borrow this much mosey to pay the semi,
annual interest npon the state debt due it,
August following and was passed by a large
vote. This interest must be paid or repu
diate and decisis the state insolvent. What
Pennsylvania says he did not do right.
None but sn Algertnt and hit crew.
"Ho voted to authorize the issue of $2,
319,818 in certificates of stale stock."
There were pressing claims on the slate
for money due the domestic creditors, and
the statt had no means of paying, and had
this bill passed. There would have been no
necessity of the passage of the celebrated
Relief Bill, which' is afterwards brought
into the sccount of the crimes of Daniel
Snyder.
"He voted to spend on corporations,
8,500,000."
There is not one word of truth in the
above This sum was appropriated by an
amendment offered to an original bill, ex
pressly for the annual expenses of the go
vernment, the repiirs, and the payment fur
work already done to the canals, and was
to have been paid with the certificates of
stock mentioned above. Both of these
mrasures, however, were defeated, and of
course, no appropriations had been made
thus farnor a dollar voted out of the trea
sury, except th fits! t800,000, which went
to pay the semi annual interest an the stale
debt.
"lie voted to further Increase the state
debt to the amount of 03, 100, 000 -to allow
the banks to issue shinplaslers to that a
mount -to give the shinplaslers to cornora
lions tie.. and to tax the people to redeem
heir uttinnlaKlnra
Am! ttiitle. Sny'def'fiferf for jhea, In oon
sequence of petltions'sent from 'Columbia
county, signed by a largo number of prom
inent democrat's asking him to. do so, and
of others, who were in Banishing at the
time the bill.pisSed, urging him to vote lor
it. Aniong those who signed petitions for
the issue of small bills by the banks, were
John G. Montgomery, Wm. Ooli, Win.
Donaldson, Peter Baldy, Valentine Best,
and John and Richard Fruit the very men
who denounce Daniel Siiyder for voting for
them, and so well satisfied Were they with
its passago, that delegates weie elected in
Danville and Madison, instructed without
opposition, to sustain his renominatioti, and
only brought up now, because he is the
candidate ofXhc removal party, and likely,
if elected, to interfere with their private
interest,
Thus much for these 10,000,000, which
they unblushiugly charged Daniel Snyder
-voting away, But it is in character with
them. Falsehood, misrepresentation ami
slander, are the only weapons they ean ose
against him1 And these will be used with
out stint or measure, and 110 act is too vile,
grots or unprincipled, for them to resort 10,
to defeat the Election of Daniel Snyd-:i,iid
by that means prevent the removal from
taking place.
The remaining votes mentioned in the
article referred to, are of apiece with t)ioe
we have dissected above. Must of them
were sections of amendments offered for the
express purpose of killing the main bills
before the house, and were voted down by
the friends of the several bills to which
they were to be attached, knowing them to
be so intended. Daniel Snyder did vote
for immediate resumption of the banks in
almost every shape and form in which it
was' presented to the house, and voted fur
the final passago of the resumption hill, and
the journals are full of his votes to that
effect, which will be found by any man.
who will take the trouble to examine fur
themselves. We have the journals of boll)
sessions, which any person can exunine by
calling upon us. They need not lake the trou
ble of travelling to Daaville, at the extreme
end of the county for the purpose. They
are in the centre of the county where the
couth ought lor. since to have been held,
and had they been, we should not at thi-
(lay have had Columbia count; excited by
either the removal or division question.

W ho reported the following whieh were
00 vnunoiikly and enthusiasm-ally adopted.
JlcovcdTH Me believe the lime lias
an iicd, when there must be either a renin
val, or a division of Colombia nonniv, and
of the two we are satisfied, that .the Dan
ville people would choose a division because
they then would retain the courts of the
county.
Jlssolved That of the two. we prefer a
removal, bet-aiiee it would be but an act of
justice to the inhabitants of the county, and
the least expensive.
Resolved That we will, therefore, sus
tain Daniel Snyder, for the legislature.
Because he obeyed the instrtirtioiis of
twenty eight hundred of his ronstiiucms,
rousiiiuiing 1 large majority of them, by
sustaining and voting fur the passage of a
hill rewuviug the sel of jiibticc from Dan
ville.
Because he opposed and defeated the pro
ject oft. dninion ( llie ci.uuty ol Columbia.
Uecau6e we have corfidence thai he will
again te Ins every exertion to defeat a like
bill should it be again brought before die
legislature.
Because he will advocate a removal in
prelereuee to a division. measure which
ihe inhabitants of llie couiuv should druad
qual to it srourge, as it would he destruct
ive 10 our prosperity.
Uec.atwe we know him to he an Iioopm
man and a faithlul representative, niid lhal
with him we can Falt-ly irutt our righis and
IllterrtlS.
Becatire the Dan die faction use no ar
gument otliei than ahu-. and slander, to
show that the removal is not jusi and right,
101 would not lie. Inr the interest ol the
people ol the county.
liecaoee we believe that the removal
would save to the countv thousands of dol,-
ars annually by redue tig the expenses of
Iho county, and the travelling exoenses of
iudviduals to anil lrom the county seal.
Because Ihe present location of the nuhlic
uunuiogs are extremely iiiijiibi, compelling
ine iiiiiatiitauis ol Hie county 10 travel at
least one third further to attend cnuris.than
iey would were they in the rentre.
Uecause this nnlair location makes the
burthen I er unequally upon the ponli'
which is anil republican amlcontrarv to the
priiiciptra ol our form of government, and
mo jusi rigius 01 man.
ttesowta 1 hat we cannot support
iticiiaru mm,
Because he now professes to be opposed
10 a removal, wnen mil a short tune mnee
he was in fivor of it.
Because, if he wilt abandon his friends
and throw himself into the hands of hi
ene'iiiee, for the sake of being their candi
date for the legislature, there is 00 knowing
what measure he wnuld not sustain, if it was
calculated to advance the interest of hi
new allies.
Because we cannot have any confidence
111 the pledges of a man, who can thus
change from patty to party for mere ioteres
ted motives.
tra . . k
uecause wn are satisneu mat 11 he is
elected, a division of ihe county will he
the consequcnce.therefoie.
Resolved That we go the polls on the
1 1th of October next and vote for Daniel
Ssnyder and the whole removal ticket of
equal rigius anu justice, againsi Kichart
1'ruit, Hmeion, I .lXHtinn, and Oppresinn.
uesoivea i nut we as Ireemau, do not
wish John O. Monlgionery, and John
Rhodes, to come in our midst to diulalo anil
tel us how to vote.
Bauause, John Rhodes, has mailo his
boasts, that he could buy all Roariugcreek
township for 95,00.

which were unanimously adopted.

unite upon the support of Richard Fruit
who, if elected, will assist in these perm
cious measures of dividing our small county
to grainy a lew greedy speculators The
have induced Fruit to pledge himself against
a dnuion, for the purpose of tleettving the
people, and endeavor to dope llieni into
their iiuhnlv measures. It is also a loud
and glaring assertion, by the L)anvitlites,that
the femoral question is only a measure of
speculation, wherein the inhabitants ol
Blnomsbnrg, are the only participators
This is a falsehood, as dark as the shadows
of the muloighi glpo.m, yet this is an asser
lion among the most reasonable of theirs,
Fur they cannot set forth one reasonable
and honest argument against the people's
demand for a removal of the, sent of justice

Resolved That it is not only the people
