The base and malicious attack ut

Ihe base and ma3dous attack upon i,
character Of Daniel snyder,i in the las, H.,
vile lntellgencer will be duly appreciate
by the citizens of The county who KIM,
him. If there ever was an honest and faith
fnl representative within the walls of IL
capitol, Daniel Snyder was that man. an
with all the slander that Valentine Be.
Peter Baldy, and the Danvile delegate
heaped upon the heads of others at Han
burg, last winter, they dare not lisp a ws
against The integrity and honesty of pul
pose of Daniel Snyder. He was knomI
there, as well as al home. But il has beo
left for them 10 return TO the county, and
order 10 defeat a measure of immense i'm
portance 10 its citizens, TO traduce no, o,s /
him but every other individual who take
an active part in ,Se question against them
Will il have its intended effect! We firms
not What has the private character of ,bi
or that individual 10 do with the justice O|
the removal? Should they maze out ,hs
the principal actors are 'knaves' and .stoo
pigeons will it relieve the people of IL |
county from the bur.hens now imposed M
on 'hem' IN consequence of the impropt
location of the public buildings! Will hI
people be any better satisfied with lis m,
iion! Would any SANDER heaped by us OF
The heads Of some certain gentlemen
Danvlle,who have been, and ere now. read
TO deal dab around the land TO kee !
the courts at Danville, advance the ius,ic
OF The removal cause. We answer empbs
lcalIy'no that there is 100 much intelgea
in the people of the county for it TO bavd !
any effect on them, other than feeling Il
Indignation npun its authors. We shs
not therefore follow in the footsteps of III
Algerine, but keep on in the even tenor u
our way, and advocate the cause upon ID
merits, alone. leaving 10 them The honor o|
attempting TO destroy private character I'D
private or public ends. We will wash ou|
hands of SO foul and das.ardly transaction
1t can only originals from those who know
themselves in desperate circumstances. and
that i: requires desperate means TO exlrcal
themselves from them. An honest mani
with an honest cause, will not resor, d
them. lie requires not such weapons.-
The william only uses them.

defamation, which the .Agerine has besI
collecting for months past, has now bee
