To the Public.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the publication Of the
Receipts and Expenditures as published in
the last weeks Republican, find myself
charged with unclaimed costs and jury fees
to the amount of S42S:OO; that of this sum
$50 90 has been paid. During the entire
period of my official term, it was not my
habit or practice to collect jury fees, except
when they were voluntarily paid. When |
retired from Office | did not know that there
was a single dollar in my hands unaccount-
ed for Since the matter has been fully in
vestigated the sum of $50 90 has been found
due which Immediately paid over to Cliff
fred Arick, Attorney for the county. ] also
left with Mr. Arick hundred dollars or up
wards for the purpose of paying should he
find any more claims against me. But since
the payment of the $50 90 as above, in the
month OF February last believe it was,
there has been no further claims presented.
As the above facts must have been known
to the Auditor. leave the public to jud ge
the motive OF the publication at this par
ticulir time. invite the strictest investi-
cation into every act of my official life and
believe fully in the doctrine Of strict account
ability and rigid economy on the part of all
Office holders. As l am again before the
people of Belmont County for their suffrages
! deem this statement due alike to them
and my own reputation.

"The Model Auditor. !"
To the Editor Of the Belmont Chronicle:

To the Editor Of The Belmont Chronicle:
There is q gentleman on the American
Ticket,-the Model Auditor, James F
Charlie sworth, to whose political position
would invite the attention of every mem
Der of the Republican Party. This gentle
man and his friends are claiming that he il
going to carry the county over his com.
petitors Oy large majority. His friends
do not claim that he can be elected by the
votes Of the Fillmore Party, but they conf
IDENTIFY assert that he is going to take large
vote from :he Republican party, and Re-
pablicsns are daily and hourly appealed to
to desert Mr.. Wright and vote for Mr..
Charlesworth. Republicans are very po-
liteIy informed that Mr. Wright has no
chance of being elected, therefore if they
would defeat Mr.. Gressinger they must
unite on Charlesworth, as the available cam
didate. 1t is not true that Mr.. Wright can
not be elected, for the result of the election
will show that tue Republican party is the
strong party of the county. But admitting
it to be true that the Republican candidate
cannot be elected, why in the name Of COM
mon sense should Republicans desert him
and sote for Charlie sworth in preference to
Mr.. Gressinger! Is he more honest and
better qualified to discharge the duties of
the Office than Mr.. Gressinger, If SO, is
the fact that he took the benefit of the Insol-
rent Lav to 0uoid The payment of a just claim
of THIRTY DOLLARS ihe evidence of his
claim 10 honesty? Is be more friendly to the
Republican Party than Mr.. Gressinger! II
so, is the evidence of this derived from the
fact that he publicly asserts that "every
member Of the party is traitor at heart"-
Let no Republican be deceived by the friends
of Mr. Charlesworth, when they tell you
that he is more attached to your party than
Mr. Gressinger. 1t is very true that Gres.
singer is an enemy of ycur party, but neith-
e. he or any other member of the Demo
cratic Party, have abused the Republican
Party like this same James F. CharIesworth
no member of that party, is SO uncharit-
able and bgoted as to brand his neighbor or
his personal friend, provided he belongs TO
the Republican Party, with being at heart
q traitor to his country. Will any Repub
lican vote for that man who brands him with
being q traitor at heart simply because he
thinks proper to vote for different candid
ate for the Presidency! Most certainly not
STICK To YOUR TICKET, and
the result will be that the entire ticket will
be triumphantIy elected! You have but to
90 to the polls, do your duty and victory is
yours. RIcHLAND.

New ATHENS, Sept. 22d, 1856


B. R. CowEN, Dear Sir:
! have been credibly informed that a re-
port has been put into circulation in and
about St. lairsville, which deem it due to
myself and especially to the cause of truth
and righieousness,t to correct. The report as
| understand it, is that during the time ol
our late communion, should have stated
that Mt person can consistently commune
in our church, unless he is in favor of a
dissolution of the Union.
Now have only to say that this report
is absolutely false. Neither at that time
nor at any other time or place have | ever
made such statement, indeed to do so would
not only be to state what do not believe
but grossly to misrepresent the principles oil
the church of which am member.
But if you substitute restriction Of Slavery
instead of dissolution of The Union, IN the
above sentence, you will then have what
did state; the position which then main
tanned and do still maintain, is that no per.
son can consistently, commune in our church
who intends to do any thing to promote thu
extension of Slavery, or who believes tha
it should be extended. stated that as W,
by our profession, were bound to use all law
ful means to remove Slavery where it is
much more we were bound to abstain from
every means, that would have tendency t
extend or establish it where il is not.
| may also state that in my remarks
referred to the objection, urged by some tbs
! the restriction of slavery, must cause di'
solution of the Union. And my answer t
D this was that on the supposition that it b
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1856-10-09

true, still we ought not to DO any thing te
extend Slavery, as that would be to do evil
that good might come, but stated a; the
same time that in my opinion there was nc
ground for :uch supposition, for my opinion
was that the restriction of Slavery, is an
important means of preserving the Union.
You are at liberty to publish these state
ments if you think il necessary.
Yours &c,
WIN. WIsHART.
We the undersigned, members of the
session of fUnity congregation, hereby certify
that we have mol during our late commu-
nion, nor on any other occasion, either in

maintain the iposition that no person can
consistently commune in our church unless
be is in favor of dissolution of the Union.
