Candidates for the Registry Of Deeds
OLIVER FISKE,
ARTEMAS WARD:

On Monday next is 10 be held an election
for the choice of Register OF Deeds for this
County for the term of five years from March
last. Having abstained from engaging in the
existing controversy, we notice it now merely
to urge upon our felIow-citizens the inpor-
lance OF ageneraF attendance al lie polls, in
order TO prevent repetition of the present sx-
element, and to avoid further trouble to the
electors. There viii be, probably, some-scat-
tering votes. 1t is deeirable, therefore, that
there should be so full vote given as to di-
minish the danger of choice being prevented
by the scattering votes.

Last Spring saw Circular, signed by a
Committee of the Post Riders, recommending
Mr.. Ward as a Candidate for the Registry of
Deeds. ! mean no dsparagement to that use
full class Of men-their opinions are worth no
more and no less because they furnish us,
weekly, with the newspapers. Their Circular
was entitled to just the same consideration as
would be that of any other three men Of the
same weight Of character.
This Fall saw in the papers notice for a
publick meeting Of those friendly to the re-
election of DR.. Fiske. Although had never
pledged myself TO support him, yet; feeling. no
opposition to him, attended. | found the
meeting assembled in publck room, with
open doors, and every body passed in and out
as they. plFased. There was no secresy-no
inquiries whether any person who came in
was for or against DIR. Fiske. Indeed large
part Of the meeting seemed to be strangers to
each other. After talking over the subject in
free and familiar manner, Committee was
appointed, who reported the Address which
has been published. The Address was then
read and adoptedwithcut adissenting vote.
The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1821-1823, 1821-11-07

Now, Messrs. Printers, rhave noticed these
two Circulars, just to show the difference be-
tween them. One came from three or four
men pretending to'be a Committee of meet
ing which nobody ever heard of--the 9TH
er proceeded from large meeting of citi-
gems, from many different parts of the County,
called together by pabiick notice, in publick
ROOM, with open doors-from men who, being
mostly strangers to each other, could have had
no concert before they came together, and
who, of course, had 40. secret mOtire for what
they did,
Now, when Mr.. Wards party undertake
to abuse citizens who act in this open and pub
lick manner. and to underrate their Address,
] wonder whether they suppose the people
have not ssnse enough to see that it has all the
advantage oyer their own Circular. If they
have short memories, the people have not.
After all why haven't they attempted to
answer the Address That's the question:
grain of proof or argument is worth a'bush-
ell Of scolling. My neighbours who have
read the Address say it is all plain and fair
there is 10 difficulty in understanding t-and
that the betting and chatting which it has
caused is atogether IN its favour. So think;
and suspect the people generally think SO
too. A PLAIN CITIZEN.

feet DIR. Fiske, both in his official and moral
character; and, AS he had May highly re-
spectacle connexions, who might suffer from,
his disgrace, those who obtained the facts w;<i
ed TO let hmm down as easy as possible, and
thought proper, before the facts should be
made publick, or any use should be made Of
them, to consult two gentlemen on the subject
OF as high responsibility as any others in towt,
one OF them the personal friend of DIR. Fisk.
and then friendly to his re-election-,he 9th
cry. the personal friend of MIR. Ward. These
gentlemen were Of the same opinion rs 70 the
effect to be produced upon the reputation of
DIR. tiske and upon his connexions and adj
yiscd that.an abstract of the facts should be
presented to DR.. F. or some one of his partiou-
lar friends, to learn whether any explanation
would be given. This course was pursued. "a
appears by the statement Of last week Alter
the explanation was given, the two gentlemen
were again consulted. They agreed that the
attempt at explanation hoa entirely failed

! the people of'the County. The communica-
ton was made TO the printers. accompanied
with note, requesting that Doct. T. and his
friends might have an opportunity of examin--
ing and aHsweringit the last week. v it'll this
privilege they were INDUCED. But the writer of
"Calumny exposed, +" instead OF answering cool
ly and dispassionately, as the subject required,
if the object was to save the Register, falls into
a.most violent philippick against Mr.. Ward
and those who obtained the facts. His state
men!s, are not all true :; but, surprising thew
were, what: had this to do with the Doctors
conduct? Did the writer expect to satisfy the
intelligent and discerning part of the people of
this County, that DIR. f. was innocent, by COM
| plaining.of the conduct of others? Let the pco-
| pie hook well into the above statement, every
word of which IS susceptible of legal proof, and
then say whether the Doctor has any reason 10.

The partizans of Mr.. Ward have be-
come desperate, and are now making
bold push. They put in circulation the
grossest, Misrepresentation and, not
withstanding they are contradicted and
refuted ever SO often, they repeat them
as long as there is a,ohance forsdeceiv-
ing single individual. We understand
that some Of them. have the assurance
still to maintain, that DR.. Fiske has tax
ed duty upon Deeds for which he has
not accounted to the Treasurer. We
have before stated, and we now state
again, that this IS totally and absolutely
false-t We know not what Mr. Ward
may have done in the Registers absence
or without his knowledge, (for he has
taxed the Deeds much oftener than DR..
Fiske;) but this we know, that il has
never been the Registers rule or inteu-
ton to charge duty upon those Deeds
which he did not consider liable to duty.
These persons may, it is possible, hunt
up a,few, a.Dery feso such Deeds, upon
which as much as II cents has been tax
ed more than the common fees for copy
ing and certifying, and this they may
say was charged as the duty to the Coun-
ty! We have already explained to the
publick by what rule Doct. Fiske has
been guided. In taxing fees upon She +

A,frend of DR.. Fiske, having found much,
fault with the manner in which certain facts
had been obtained from the Registers Office,
and having assured the publck, in a COMMIT
nication headed "CALUMNY EXPOSED" that
an s. inspection of The Registers books'' would
be granted when requested, Doct Fiske was.
called on, by the following communication, to
certify certain facts, record of which, he has
said, was to be found III his Office.

publican, and every decent man in So

a spectre which exists only in the disor-
dered imagination of the editor of that
paper. He is continually denouncing
Dr. Fiske as an aristocrat Is DR.. Fiske

Egis asserts, Gin stately splendor ?''-
Far from it---he lives economically, and
without parade. Is he, as the Egis
states, extravagant in his entertain

entertainments, and never great or ex.
pensiye ones; and although his hos
pitable house is always open to receive
his friends, yet he does not, it is be-
lieved, make one half the, number OF
parties Mr.. Rogers, himself does. If
DIR. Fiske is an dristocrdt, he was as
much so before he was first chosen as he
is noe, and yet Mr.. Rogers supported him
then !! The readers Of the Agis are
treated every week with a deal Of
fummerg about the influence of lauyers
