are gotten up for nothing only electioneer-
ing purposes. We invite the people of this
county to an investigation of the records
of this county, and also want them to
contrast the business transactions Of the
presen! with the ex officers of Marshall.
With all their blowing about corruption
they have never been able to show where
the county has lost one farhihg by the
gentlemen whom they take delight in ac-
cusing.
The course pursued toward Mr.. Pack
ard shows that either personal feeling or
political capital has much to do with what
purports to be expositions of fraud and
dishonesty. They are not content with
having abused him when before the peo-
pie for reelection but follow him into pri-
vale life and SANDER and misrepresent him
and try to make the citizens of this county
believe tneir exaggerated stories, concern
ing him, but never say ore word Of men
of their own party, who according to the
Republican. has committed by far greater
crime than Mr. Packard. We are author
lied by Mr.. Packard to say that he has
never failed to pay over the monies in
his hands when demanded by the proper
persons and will continue to DO so until
all is paid out.
As our neighbor has been pleased to
irea; this as q political matter, will he
please inform the "dear people, whose
rights he would make them believe he is
trying to protect, how much his ex-
Clerk is or was behind, and whether he
was not more tardy about footing up than
the gentleman he hates with such an in
tense hatred. The people are growing anx-
ious about the matter and we hope he will
give them the desired information and
give the matter in full, IS he has not yet
told the half VIII he make the desired
explanatory the exact number of
dollars against Meir old Clerk. We hope
he will
They are also throughout the entire coun-
", trying to make something of the affair
of Mr.. Nirnedge, ey Treasurer of this
county, who made his bail and the county
safe before the competent (?) gentleman
that pretends to attend to the duties Of the
Auditors Office, knew to u certainty how
much was vet behind, or was to come from
Mr.. Einnedge. lie was perfectly ignorant
OF his duties or he would have seen to the
matter when or before Mr.. Ninnedge went
ont Of the Office, and, had it not been for
others we doubt not, he would have re-
manned in this fix until this time. Bat
now he looks wise and disniied and talks
about fraud ard "embezzlement" as
hough he was the Individual who had fer.
r-ted il out
In dis connection We do Mr. Vinnedge
the justice TO say that he says, when found
at Laport, he was doing the very thing
that was afierward done, 10 secure his bail.
We have not seen Mr.. Wine dye in re-
laiion 20 this matter, but have it from good
authority that such is his statement, and
We are glad to give him the benefi. of it.
BE this as 1t may, the county has not lost
anything in the affair, as the bail was good
for any reasonable amount if Mr.. Yinnedge
had been deiaulter, Mr.. Vinnedge's rep
utaton as business man was good and
any of these Republicans that now say they
suspicioned something was wrong, would
have trusted hir' for any amount, almost
before this unfortunate affair.
We hear of it from every quarter in the
county that tie ex-Audilor, Thomas Nc.
Donald, has been wronging the people"
of Marshall. This is only an old and an
swered story Matched up for the same pur-
pose Of the others, and that he has not
wronged The county. conmuni Y ANY man or
set CT men, these political bankrupts know,
as every person that has ever had anything
10 DO with him, knows him 10 be scru-
pulously honest man. At later period
we will have this matte investigated again
Tor the benefit OF our enquiring friends and
hope they will havs the csndor 10 prove the
charge they are 50 good at making. In
The mean while, we suggest TO them the
application of the very common but illus
lraiive saying concerning those who "live
in glass houses"
Jesus Christ au Abolition.
