The above is "handbill'' which has been i'm
plorlngIy forced into everybody fingers the past
week, by the gentleman whose name appears at
the bottom We are sorry to be obliged to come
! into contact with the old gentleman chiefly on
account of his advanced age Bnd declining wears
We have great respect for old age, especially
when the Individual bearing its mark, leads
yirtuous life, and bequeaths good example to
The young.
But this respect must not deter US from ma
king such an explanation of the things stated, as
to set the matter at issue in its true light before
the minds of those who are not fully conyersant
with all the facts in the case.
On the resignation of Mr.. Robinson, his name
and ours were submitted 70 the Board of Super
visors rs candidates for the office. We received
the election.
We had no doubt from the Law, and the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court, that we held the Of
flee, until this coming January. And this will
explain why we made 10 effort to obtain the
nomination at the Convention last Fail. Mr.
Kellogg was put forward by some OF his friends
and received the nomination. He then, with the
rest Of the hunkers, boltcd the proceeding of the
Convention, and obtained a nomination of the
hunkers.
The free soil convention gave it to the hun
kers knowing that all it would be worth was the
nomination.
Does anybody doubt but the party in the as
ccndancv would have taken the office if it had
been at that time in condition to be disposed OF
BY the law, and the decision of the Supreme
Court, the office was not vacant--and now the
handbill tells Us that "anotter holds il against
your lciH" And after great deal of annoyance
and lawsuits, and papers, and expenses, which
were served upon us, the prosecutor found out
what every body else knew from the commence
mcnt, that he had no right to the office.
The imputatOn against the Board of Supervi-
sors is entirely gratuitous and understandable.
The cream of the Joke is in the last lines of
the bill, where the old gentleman wishes to d.
vest the Office of parzan character.
This comes we think with an i'll grace from
one of the most bitter partizans that ever liycdin
this or any other county. The gentleman is to
day one Of the most rabid pro-slavery bunker in
the land. lie believes in the doctrine as he once
asserted to us, that 'to the victors belong the
spoils. and he wants to be elected Treasurer
retrospective Of party" lie went to the Coun-
ty Convention, and not getting nominated there,
he went to the boilers, Sharpstein, Webster, Hill
dreth, West, & Co.'S Convention, where he got
the nomination of the old pro-sIavery hunkers,
and he wishes your favorable verdict at the polls
lie is one of the very few who patrouiZes the
Daily Advertiser Of Milwaukee, the mcancst,
most contemplate, debased, pro-savery paper
in Wisconsin, and he wishes free soiIers to vote
for him. He will vote against every one of gour
candidates who are up for Office and he expects
you will vote for him. lie will vote for Slarps-
tein, Webster, & Co., and the hunkers general
Iy, and he wishes Free Sellers and Wings to
forget their candidates and vote for him.
lie will stick to his party as he always has
and he asks you to abafadon yoarS.
