It will be seen by i notice in to days papers

conjecture,
For tho last few weeks our paper has noi
been as acceptable to our miscellaneous

FORE WARNED FOREARMED.
We forewarn our friends al the seeming
indifference of the Danville faction lo the
result of the coming election. 1 hey are
stealthy and steadily al work, and when
the day of irial comes, every man of thsm
will be al his post.
BEAR IN MIND.
Removal men, that in (he contest waging
between you and the Danville faction, as in
war, ihe only wav to win a victory is to
work for it unitedly shoulder to shoulder.
No good Removal roan will suffer an
imosiues to influence his actions at the
polls.
Best, and a host of the Danville faction,
are travelling through the County election
erring sgainst'ihe Removal Ticket. If it
makes no difference in regard lo the Re
moval whether Funston or Clark is elected,
why are they so anxious to defeat Funsion?
would they ape oil their lure and money il
they were not lo be benefitted by it? Echo
answers would they?
A SLANDER.
For wanl of anything belter, the enemir
of the Removal are slandering the Removal
candidates for Representative, by saying
tl'at he will if elected, try lo get tin
liemnval l.i I repealed in panand have the
p ople taxed to pul up the new public build
ings. We pronounce this lo be a slander
out falsehood. Neither Mr. Funston nor
his friends have any such intention, and it
is only an electioneering story got up in
order lo elect the Volunteer candidate. All
true hearted friends of jusiice and faii-dea(-ing,

THE 'TICKET.
The lickei put in nomination by tin
County Convention, is, ss we have already
iaid, a good one throughout, arU oeserves
a triumphant election. It is very important
that the officers elected should be the warn
tiiends of the Removal' If any others ate
elected the question will be delayed ami
baffled and the battle may have to be fough
over agin. Every one that wishes well to
the county, desires to see the local ques
tion fully and finally settled, so tliat there
may be no more agitation and excitemem
in regard to it. To produce this desirable
late of things, and lo secure long delayed
jnstice, let the whole Removal Ticket bt
supported, and both objects will be attained
Harmony will than prevail, and all paitsol
the county will have reason to be eatitfied
with ihe arrangement of county affairs.
