FOR THE JEFFERsoNIAN REPUBLICAN.

established, &c. &c.
The above extraordinary announcement is
in consequence Of The grea. miscalled Demo-
cratic meeting, which came off Monday
evening Jan. 5th. No, being present myself,
| would respectfully ask you TO give inser-
tion to few remarks of poor Red6n Dem
ocra,." The following, amongst other resolu.
lions, was adopted by said meeting.
Resolved, That although deeply regret
the defeat of the regular nominee for the Legis-
aure at the last general election, brought about
by an unholy alliance of the Federal Coons
and renegade Democrats" &c. And | have
understood some of these "Mormons" have
gone so far as TO call upon our worthy Repre-
sentative, Peter Snyder, Esq, to resign his
sea, in the Pennsy ylvana Legislature, and on
making enquiry for what purpose, was in
formed 10 make room 70: that renowned, learn
ed and consistent Democrat, Sam. Meyers, to
take his place A part of the above mentioned
resolution goes on further to state, that the
respectable majority given for the regular usa-
yeomanry of gallant Monroe cannot be swerved
from the true and beaten track by the in,rgues
Of few designing aspiran,s and would-be die
tators who wear the outward garb of Democra-
cy while their hearts are infected with the poi
sonous cancer of Whiggery and we feel safe
in ven,uring the prediction that the time is not
far distant when these corrup, demogogues will
be brought out from their hiding places, and ex-
posed TO the scorn and derision OF the public in
all their naked deformity"
The question being put upon said amend
meni, i, was carried by triumphan, majority,
as was iniormed-,he ex-Represeniative (who
was cut out for the Legislature, but spoiled in
the making up) stamping the loudest. The
facts in the these. The Mormons,
notwithstanding their defeat last fall managed
to choke the aforesaid resolutions down The
throats Of the Democracy; but that they are
palaable to the real and long tried Democra-
cy Of the county, pronounce TO be false. And
the people, the honest yeomanry only want cor
rect information who this corrupt cabal of self
styled Democrats are, to mete out to them what
they SO justly deserve.
And who, would ASK tha; is acquainted
with Col. Peter Snyder, would doubt his De-
mocracy; and because the sovereign people of
The district saw proper to elect him, they have
raised the ire of the defeated clique, and the
veritable would-be Representative foams again
But, although once when excited with either
Democracy or something else, he declared if
his nomination was defeated he was "repu-
dialion," some of us old Democrats know how
his democracy stands. They recollect the
promises made to the Wings for the lille petty
office of Justice of the Peace, when he lived
in Hamilton township of The promises made
by him, if they (Ihe Whigs) would get him
commissioned, what influence he would exert
in order TO secure the election of JOS Riiner,
&c. &c, and where, would ask, is The Dem
ocrat who knowing these circumstances would
prefer such a renegade Democrat, to all old and
respectable citizen and long-tred Democrat,
such as Col. Peter Snyder. Why all good
Democrats acquainted with these facts would
spurn such traitor from the ranks. After of.
ferlng 10 turn traitor TO his party, and asking
favors of his old opponents, Chose ,reacherous
Whigs,) the same veritable ex-Represen,ative
comes out with resignation, just on the eve of
an all important election, TO the man who had
appointed him TO Office and for which appoin,-
ment he had offered to sell his party The
good sense of Monroe county was nsulted in
placing such Democrat on the regular ticket
And you have found GU, oyour cost that the good
people of Monroe county consider ingrat,ude
an unPardonabe sin. | have spent TOO much
time upon small subject and will conclude
with this advice to the Representative, TO
keep cool, or perhaps that letter may be shown
up To the citizens of this county will notice
IN my next who this corrupt cahal of Democrats
are, who have duped the ex-Rep and made
him The scape-goa. for their defeat, Willis, on
this subject, wish TO give The Commiss sonsrs
OF this county warning that their conduct has
