Hear him: he asks. Gan IL he pretended,

The Captain in his first paper said he
did not complain of my eoUrss. Vel he de.
rlared that he vas elected: that hp de.
manded his certificate OF the Sheriff and
u was refused him. and exclsims p why

that he has bren rr ngsd," L" injured"
Sc. Now. having diseIaimed al purpose
Of imp Ting wrong TO mr., il was common
ly supposed that his great complaint was
against The Sheriff; and il seemed 50 to
that officer. f"r we 6nd him in the last
number of The Recorder defending himself
against the Captains attack. But the
Public, who suppose that writer mSdns
what he says, are entirely mistaken; for
The Captain informs US. in the last Demo.
rrat, that he did NOT MEAN TO impuie any
wrong TO the SheIiff!!l Now il the Cap
tain is really TO be held responsible for
what appears over the name Of John Der.
nv. he is in a most awk ward predicameni.
lnr he declares that he has been grievous-
~ cronged:' that ! did no, do it,
nor, tina, the Sheriff did Midland there
fre il is established, that his own friends,
Graham and cobe, the Democratic In
specior.. shave dune unto hN this crucl
wrong
But the Captain seems sorely disap'
painted that he was not permitted TO take
his grievances befnre the Senate. which.
he says, "could alone have corrected the
error" Why does he prefer this ,ribu.
nal! Would the Captain feel better sat
isfied 10 hid his seat by the roft Of the
Senate, Than by that Of the Eseholclsrs
Of Orange? Conceal j, as he may. de.
nv il as he does, il is nevertheless appa'
rent that the Captain is AFRAID Of the bal,
iot-bor. That sacred citadel Of our lib.
critics was polluted in August, and one oil
my chief reasons for referring this election
back 10 you is, that i, may be cleansed
from This foul stain. Purify il. then, my
Fellow Citizens. on the 7ih Of November.
The eyes of the rhoIe State are upon
you-ihe political character Of The coming
, Legislature depends upon you the state
Of parties in The Senate of The United
States. and The future destiny Of America
may be determined by your action. Can
you have higher motives fur exerilon
) Show to your anxious friends throughout
: the state, tina, you feel the importance oil
} your position and so scquiI yourselves as
. TO leave ,oyour friends at home and abroad
nothing to regret.
