INFAMOUS OUTRAGE!
Loco Foco Villiany—Conceal
ing an Assessor•
We claim to b 2 a Penniylvanian citt.
zen—an American—a resident of this
county ; and we believe that it is the duty
of every American citizen—no matter
where he resides, to pursue, all honest
means to get his vote, and also, take all
honest means to save the tax of every
man who wants a vote, for the county.
This Much we say, by way of introduc•
Lion.
WE CALL ATTENTION
To the following statement of factF.
We desire that every man in favor of the
Election of Banks should read them, and
then ask himself if he does hot see the
hand of villiany in the matter.
It has been supposed by some, that last
Friday was the last day on which a man
could be assessed, and be entitled to a
..Tote. Acting upon this principle. The
sco Foca Leaders, (or if not by their
advice, the Loco Foco Assessor of thi
township ANDREW Hum) brought, or he
came to our town on Thursday night, this
man Huey. Instead of putting his horse
and himself, up at the house he usaally
stopped at, (NI r.Cout's.) He stopped at the
office, res;dence, cellar or garret of Porter's
canal supervisor. In fact we are assured
he wes brought here by the "owner" him.
self, some time about 10 or 12 o'clock.
Ile came to assess the Loco Foci's; and
there he stayed and dill assess such men
as Mr. floods, and his understrappers
brought to him—There he was kept is
secret ; and Wood's hounds were on the
track of every Loco Foe() who needed as•
sensing, and they were brought to his
secret place and assessed on Thursday
night.
Accident convinced us that this thing
Huey did come in town on the night
named ; and early in the morning we
started out to find IT. We spent hours,
and requested numbers of our friends to
watch for him. But no Huey was to be
found—He was kept in secret by the Loco
Faces. We finally talked to several of
them, and told them that they might as
well show us his hiding place, fur we
should not sleep until we found him.
They all, every Liar among them, that we
asked,denied that he was in town.— ONE
HONEST MAN ADMITTED IT WAS
TRUE. Not less than 10 or 12 men were
continually en the watch to find him, but
it availed nothing.
One young man then went down as far
as Mill creek, and was there told that
"Fluey had come to town." Again they
denied ; and tried to burrow horses them
selves to "go and be assessed" they said.
This was all dune to blind our eyes._ Again
the same young man, and an other weni
down to find him, the latter going all the
wAy to Huey'. house, where he was told
that there was no lliC of leaving his name.
They both rime back and there the mat
ter rested until, nine o'clock on Friday
night, when the writer of this, and at ,
same two men above named, got on to
horses and started to find this man lluey
Thinking of Nurse he would be loon,
sneaking home under cover of the night.
Uur conjectures proved true. Some time
after midnight Saturday morningove lound
Idle said Huey pielly creeping from his
hidiug place to his home. Vie stopped
the worthy and told him our business, -1
told him whete we had been, and very
good naturodly asked him "khat time he
had got to I oods' the night before?'
“Autarr ELEVEN (I'CLOCK," was his an•
sever. Ve expressed our astonishment
that he should stop to clo'd's cellar
and assess men there, when he had rner•
ally stepped at Cout's tavern. Ile said
he was not in Wood's cellar, but that he
had a right to atop where he pleased. We
admitted that, but wondered why hp
should sneak in and out of town be'ween
loco dabs, and not show himself, when his
loath and his duty to the county, made it
duty toassess all the tax justly due;
and we respectfully requested him to en•
ter the names of the persons on the as
sessment. li e positively refused, and we
'returned home.
On Saturday Information was lodged
against Mr. Huey, and in a few hours he
came into the town escorted ?iy the deputy
sheriff. Alter giving 'nil he came to his
senses, and then entered names on the as.
scssment list, more than twelve hears
after he hail refused to do the same thing,
thus furnishing himself the proof that he
had violated his oath-
Such ar•e the Faets
And the whole cause of it is this, there
is a grand Encampment of
TEN DAY MEN
Down about Mill creek. Yravelling
voters who have been brought to vote
down the citizens of this county ; brought,
here to help beat our regular ticket„
brought here to beat John Brotherline,'
brought here to help the "Working•Pr
Porter party; and was necessary that they
,hould be assessed—There is also a few
of the same bundle boys about our town
—they must be assessed--and Huey must
do it--and do it in secret; and to make
the business a good one, it was important
that the friends of Banks and Brotherline
should be cheated out of a vote.--and the
county out of their tax. To assess these
Rag Barons—or men with a
u nndlr.
This man Huey prostrated the duties of
an honest assessor, at the feet of these par
ty hacks--and he either knew no better,
or he left his nal at home, and left him
self to be the dirty tool, of Porter and his
i nstro ment 4.
Shame! Shame! on you!
You old Sneak and your more talus
mous but not less ignorant masters. To
leave a sworn duty undone, to please a
politician—to Sneak into town--and
sneak out—to travel around the township,
15 miles to get 6, and all this, to do what!
why, to cheat American citizens out or
their votes; and you, if you treat your
oath of naturalization with as little care •
ninny as you have that of the assessor, are
this day more of a subject of England's
Petticoat Monarch than of our free and
happy country.
Point at Mini—Hiss at him!
For the paltry and petty tool of Porter's
()Ricers, eha have made him the dupe of
their rascality—Sneer at him, as the will•
ing assessor of the , ecn day Bundle bop,'
and the unwilling assessor of resident
voters. Shame him! we was about to say
but he has none, who becomes the tool of
any one of Porter's officers.
His Keepers!
Mark them :—'l hey place no value on
the right of suffrage, they will prostrate
that sacred right—they would polute the
temple of Liberty—they ...vould trample
upon our free institutions, for what I To
make the WIEN UL PERJURER a ruler
over us for three years more.
Freemen are you ready
For such things 7 Can you submit to
ice your neighbors refused a vote by own
who make votes for these TEN DAY
PEDLARS of their oaths as well as their
votes. You cannot do it.
A mrican citizens Awaken !
We have just been informed that
this Mr. Flury, threatens a prosecution 10
us. On the grounds that we made a great
noise at his house, at the time we called
to get our friends assessed. We learn
also that the cause is, that his family were
very much trightened, and that they were
unable to sleep for the noise made about
the house. We advise this Mr. Huey to
keep on the safe side, for we tell him, he
nor none of his family know which man,
as at his house, nor can any one of them
Swear that there was more than one man
here, nor is there any one of the family 1
)are swear that there was any noise made
dear the house--for HE SWEARS FALSE•
or, who says thcre was. Mr. Couts says
that Iluey says he will sue us--W E
DARE MR. RUBY TO SUE us. We
know what we can prove as to his con
' duct, and we are willing to let his family,
or any one of them swear what they know.
We care not. for any of his boasts and
'lbrags--Let him look out for himself.
nrlt is also stated
i by the friends of
this man Huey,
that the prosecu-,
for has offered WIC
to make up the
prosecution.
We pronounce
the story an in-'
H
famous falsehood,
and those who cir

consummate liars;
we say this because
