The Facts Of that Matter.

campaign in 1855, the following was pub
! lished:
"Whereas, the NewBerlin papers and hand
/ bills circulated throughout the county during
( the past week, state that ii will cos, the coun-
" OF Snyder from Two TO Four Thousand dol
lars to have the records transcribed under
the provisions of the 2Ulh section OF the act OF
General Assembly approved the I'd day oi
| March, 1855, entitled AN act for the erection
OF new county out of part of Union. to be
called Snyder, and relative TO the seat OF JUS
tice in Union county,"
NOW | do hereby agree and bind myself
10 purchase the Dock kets and copy all the Rec
ords for the county of Snyder as required by
said Goth section OF the act of I'll Of March,
A. d. 1858, for the sum of Gnc Hundred
and Twenty-Five Dollars; and ii re-
CURED will give securily for the Performance
oi the above, IN any amount
JOHN SCHRACK.
East BuTIloc March IL, 1855.
The above speaks for itself. Esq
Schrack is an honest, competent and re-
sponsible man.
With this offer before them, a number
Of gentlemen of Lcwisburg and Sclins
grovc-to wit: Messrs. Eyer, Schnurc,
Slifcr, John Walls, Hayes, james F,Linn,
Colshcr, Meyer, Leonard and John App,
Frick, Cameron, Chalubcrlin, and perhaps
others, 1--WE quote from memory only
made guarantee to pay the necessary cX-
pcnscs as referred to by Esq. Schrack, in
case Division carried. But Me>Srs Sion
kcr, C. Merrill and S. Wcirick, Esq's., Of
New Berlin, met that offer, and counter
acted its influence, by Card stating, on
their professional reputation, that the
guarantee was porthless and could not be
collected
This was the last that was heard Of that
Pledge for the time. The very mex; year,
Henry {. Eyer, Esq., Of Sclinsgrove, who
signed the guarantee, was the Democratic
candidate for Congress, but the Domocra-
cy did not thrust that pledge in hi- face,
and accuse him of fraud and cheating be
cause it was not paid.
Samuel Roush, Esq, Prothonotary Of
Union county, having the po,ecr uadcr TIE
Act of Assembly to DO the service re-
ferrcl to, did 50, and charged the county
of Snyder the very cool and pretty sum to
look at of 5000, and by the carelessness Of
those managing for Snyder county obtain
ed Julgmen: for that sum. SIX Hun
DRIED DOLLARS for work Esq Schrack
offered to do for Sl25-or more than four
times as much.
IsJ@ But, two years ago, when Thomas
Hayes, Esq., was up, on our side, for As
'embly, his opponents in Snyder county
Ill at once thought of that worthless"
pledge, and made a tremendous effort to
letcat him because he alone had not paid
he 5000 Roush Jud dgment, (aud, at the
anne time, to elect the son of Roush over
Nr. Iiayes-thus rewarding Roush, for
making his large charge, by iujurins
layes, who was in no way responsible for
T. Now, the fact is, Sl25 was the spc- (
'itic sum Hlessrs. Eyer, Hayes, DC, had
II their eye, and We undcrrtund they have
lever been asked to pay even that.
The Sclinsgroyc Times is special
rend and admirer of Mr.. Roush, and is
yai" attempting to hurt Nlr. Hayes, by
eyiying this game, which proved futile
'hen tried before. In its anxiety to in /
ure Hayes, it says Roush's Judgment Is q
800, which is $500 too much. The $500
llschood against Haycs-we say false
ood, because We have referred it to the
aye Of the Journal II. Il. proving it TO L
e so, but it persists in its wicked and ! !
anton misrepresentation-is no reason {
,hy it should make it $500 worse than it
: against Roush. Persons, blind with
arty malice, some times strike friends as
ard as foes. S
But, at the last session Of the Snyder
Dunty Court, on motion of George L.
liller, Esq, Judges Middlcswarth and
lcngas caused the Roush Judgment OF :
600 to be re-opened, and it Will probably II
e reduced to a reasonable sum before it s.
paid. The gentlemen who signed the !, il
uarantce, alluding to the Sl25, will n
pubtless fulfil their moral obligation, O.
henever asked; but as to paying 5000 u
: $500 for what Esq. Schrack asked Sl25, =
c presume they will not
If there is anybody at fault in this mat
r, it is Mr. Roush for his cxccSsiye* z
large; and how it should hurt Hayes, or
gnoft Roush, we can not see
I'VE are informed that Henry w. Snyder,
ter examining the work, made affidavit that !
was not worth $50. ~
