Whereas-The time has come when the
vo.ers Of this county are called upon 10
make nominations for candidates 10 fill the
different offices of this county and whereas.
party politics have given place 10 more
important question as il relates TO this coun
ty, even the removal of the comfy seat from
Danville to more central position. we
therefore, citizens of Greenwood and Fish
ing Creek townships, adopt this plan to set
forth our views as regards the removal party
in general. First; we believe that neither
of the four townships lying npon the head
waters Of Fishing Creek, has had the honor
Of giving Sheriff to the county OF Colum-
bia, for which reason we claim, in the pres.
ent canvass, the privilege Of having candi.
date chosen from one Of these four town.
ships, and hereby recommend Iran Derr,of
Jackson township as the man Of our choice
he beipg removal man.
Secondly, we assert, that as we have
heretofore urged and sustained the removal
csuse in this county, we still stand firm in
the same good cause.
There fore Resoiued-That we view any
attempt made TO distract the minds Of the
removal party from their main object, by
party politics,as being detrimental to the
best interests Of large majority Of the vo-
ters Of this county.
Resolved-That we recommend the for
ma,ior Of removal ticket independent Of
political consideration, but a, the same time
giving each political party share Of the
candidates in The ticket thus formed.
Resolued-That as our enemy is subtle
one, we recommend union OF action, az
there is union Of interest in the removal
cause.
Resolued-Thai Daniel Snyder, ouI
Representative in the State Legislature fol
the three last sessions, has stood Arm ant
unwaverIng, and honestly maintained the
best interest Of his constituents, for which
he merits our warmest appreciation, and we
hereby recommend him as The man of oul
choice for member of the next Legislature
from this county.
Resolyed-'Fhat as Bloom has had III,
Treasurer and member of the Legislature
for the last three years, she cannot reason
ably expect the sheriff this year. al.ho' sh,
has two candidates 10 the field.
ResolUcd-Tha, Notwithstanding we hay'
set forth our claims,we are pledged to sup
port the whole removal ticket when fa,rl,
formed.
ResoIved--That committee Of three b
appointed 10 watch the movements Of tn
Danville faction..o report Ito call meeting
and take every honest measure 10 suppol
the removal cause.
