DANIEL sNYDER's VOTES.

Under this caption, John q. Montgome.
fy. publishes in ,le los, paper Of the .aige-
yine, a long lie, Of whs, he calls Daniel
Snyder's votes in the Legislature. and a
balch Of mole jesuiticsl, malicious, false
misrepresentation were never given to the
public. The insimaIion, too. tina, those
votes were given upon the main quesfion,is
wholly false and grstui,ous.
Daniel Snyd unlike John g. Mont.
gomery, ias always been uniform, con.
sistcnt. decided democrat. None of your
sims serving. changing policy men, and as
such he was elected BY the democratic par.
IS, and having been SO elected he sustslned
the interests Of the party wiihom any
sk"iking or lodging. And We defy JIG.
Montgomery. The Algerine, or any of the
Danvile faction,to point out single prom
inent vote Of his in the Legislature, where
hs was not sustained by the democratic
members, not only in The house of repre-
sentstives. but in the senate. Even the vote
of David 3. Montgomery, the brother Of
John G.Muntgomery is placed nde BY side
with that Of Daniel Snyder. in the votes
rscited, and yet John G. Montgomery. is
willing to outrage ue feelings of brother,
and denounce the whole of the democratic
members Of the house in order 10 injure the
election Of Daniel Snyder, because il vouid
be against his personal inferesf, and Be
beneficial to the county generally. And
this act will be considered still more de,cs.
table on the part Of J. G. Montgomery.
when il is known, that David B. Montgom-
cry lost his reelection by allowing himself
TO be used ss mere tool and syccophan, of
bis brother to advance his privase interest
and fhstcf fthe Danvil9ef faet,on.
We shall not attempt TO follow him thro'
sll the catalogue, but merely glance a, some
of tho voies mentioned in The article to
show tho utter reckIessness of tho writer,
and how little dependence can be placed
upon the remaining portion Of his statement.
The article says ,hs. Daniel Snyder
''votsd 10 increase the state debt $780,.
oos."
This bill was authorizing The governor to
borrow this much money to pay the semi
annual interest npon the state debt due il,
August following and was passed by large
vote. This interest mus, be paid or repu.
diase and declare the state insolvent. Wha,
Pennsylvanian says he did no, do right
None but an .algerias and his erev.
eHo voted TO authorize the issue Of 42,
sl9,als in certificates of state stock"
There we're pressing claims on the STAT,
for money due the domestic creditors, anc
the state had no means Of paying. and hat
this bill passed. There would have been n,
necessity Of the passage Of The celebrate,
Relief Bill, which is afterwards brough
into the account Of the crimes Of DAME
Snyder.
..Hs voted 10 spend on corporation.
$500, ,000."
There is not one word Of truth in III
shove This sum was appropriated by a
amendment offered TO an original bill. e,
pressly for the snnual expenses Of the e
vernmen,, the repairs, and the payment Il
work already done TO the canals, and wa
TO have been paid with the certificates
stock mentioned above. Both Of thes
measures, however, were defeated, and ,
course, no appropriations had been mad
thus far--nor dollar voted out Of the tre
sury, except the Gre, $500, 900. which wei
10 pay the semi anausl interest On The sta
debt.
'He voted 10 further increase the sta
debt to the amount OF %, lO0. .000--to aIlo
ihe banks 10 issue shiHplaslers TO that
moun,--so give the shinplasiers TO corpo,
sicns &c. and TO tax the people TO redee
sbeir shinplasIers."
This isia gross psrversion Of truth and
facts.
