ucfirtco found out hs Numbered his
false denuncations against OF his best brethren Of
his party, and appears again before the public
With explanation In which he states he derived his in
formation from others or whom Henrico did you de-
rive such informstous Inform U.s. We desire To know
who in this community had such sudacity besides your
self TO arrsigu such compose this company before
the public ehapers, Abolitionists, &c. HeDrco in
forms the public that the company, after repeated trials
and failing obisin honest attentive and faithful
collect its tosst last succeeded in getting just such
man in the person OF Major VIM jackson. Here Is a
direct mpuation the character Of two geuemen who
have been in the employ OF the company Both Of these
gentlemen stood at that time and still stand high for
honest integrity of character in the community
Neither OF them turned by the Board, stated
by Henrco, but resigned against the wish of entire
Board Henrco states that, unfortunately for Maj Jack
son. honest heart gentcmanly b-aring, and, more
than all liked and stern Democratic principles for these
his employers had use and finding few days since he
could not bs used the Directors five in number and all
Know Nothng sat in conclave and deprived this old gen.
tcman Of his little place. Here Henrco again misrepre-
the Board Major jackson was not turned out he
resigned because the Board refused raise his wages
lie offered candidate again when the election took
place to ill the vacancy occasioncd by his resignation
but failed to be elected SO the public will perceive that
all the hue aud raised by the false statements of Hem
rico against the Board OF Directors of this company
prescribing Major Jackson account OF his honesty of
heart and Democratic principles utterly groundless
Henrco states that wanton and heartless he
has rarely known, and which Know Nothngs alone
would have perpetrated aud winds up by saying that
Is said that this Company will the hands next
Legislature ask some fsSors, go il is hoped this dis
acelul not De forgotten Disgraceful act-ohi
Heinrich, who has been guilty OF disgracefu actg The
Board OF Directors OF this Company who have
fully to discharge the duties OF their Office or Won
who with your informant have arraigned such men "a
these Directors and Stockholders before the public a.
Shapers, Aboitonists, &c, aud raised false charges
against them TO induce the public to believe IL and all for
political ef-ct We will venture the assertion that 10
concave of Know Notngs have been guilty such
dsgraceiul act Who, fclow-ctzens. do you suppose
Henrico Is, he is petty office holder under General
Pierce, residing. Informed, about fourth of
his time in the county OF Henrco the balance either in
Washington territory Of which he is land agent
pr some petty office Of that sort Henrco YOU cannot
vet the people of this section of the State, of party
10 pronounce judgment against such gentlemen n com
pose this Company, without enquring by whom are
he charges made, and making investigation the
ruth OF them The charges made against this Compa-
have been found be false and acknowledged TO be
10 by Henco himself Henrico if you your informant
sho hostile to this improvement, expect influence
he Legislature OF Virginia to oppose appropriation
his Company, If il should be aked for by such means
making Of believe you will fail OF sue.
css We believe the Legislature of Virginia composed
# men pure be Influenced by such means ia the
lands of petty outsiders but will take more statesman
ike view and vote for appropriations such improve.
nents, and such only will in their Judgment advance
he public interest, and the public funds by
ppropriating them improvements undeserving aud
them from those that would advance the
public interest To accomplish party purposes Henrico
hould tie condemned by their verdct-You or the J
Board If Directors aud Stockholders of the Richmond
