To the Public.
A OUnce at the Kecord of 13. I.. Water
man, Candidate fur Sheriff of I.a Salle
County.
In the midst f tbe excitement of the presidential
election, our county affairs, with their varied interests,
have been measurably overlooked and forgotten, and
the non-.ine-a for county edliees hare not received that
attention lint they should elicit; and in our Seal to
elect Mr. Unions or sir. i.ixcolh, we should not ne
picci our immediate interests in our own county. We
piupose, tneretore. in this communication, to eall the
attention of the voters and tax -payers of La Salle coun
ty to their own more Immediate interests, whRat we
would rrveiw the official arts of the Itepuhlican nomi
nee tor the office of Sheriff during the two years he I eld
that office. And in doing this, we are confident that
trie people of La Salle county, however much they
may feel themselves bound to support the regular no
minees of their party, and however much they may de
sire the success of their candidates. If the nominees are
competent and honorable men, will nevertheless repu
diate them on becoming full v satisfied that they are un
worthy of confidence and support.
W'e propose, in this communication, to exhibit a few
Instances of the delinquency and direliction of duty of
Mr. Watreman as an officer, and to show the public the
carrttt.t ami ohnmeful administration of the t.A years
he held the office befoie, at the exieiie of thecntwity.
for his .wn itctrrnnilistmeiit and for las future political
pre'ermert. We will exhibit an array of fact Afiat
euL'ht to seal his pnlitiral condemnation with the hoaest
portion of his own as weii a.s all other parties.
In assuming thisduty. we are well nwarc of tbwstrVng
prejudices and party predilections in favor of npj
iiic recular nominations, and also that charses made
in the heat of a political contest are receive I wiihsao
mnch suspicion that often a bare denial on tbe parf of
the accused is sofficient to dissipate their force, 1 ojra
ver crave and well founded, with the public. BnUie
submit that ro such bare denial and easy exculpation
can be allowed where, as in this caHe, we show tAat

David Sirawn a ss t!te con pl-iinant at-ainst f.ve brothers
by ihe name of Mcney, chargnf with high cr ines and
ii isden-enors. and he w.-irrants placed in the hand of
the Sheriff to ex-cute, which he never did, aldmiiiih he
had very opportunity to do so. After some time, two
i f tl.em ce.ice into Ottawa af their own accord aud val
m.tsrily surrendered themselves irito the hands af the
ltiW, nnd gave their reovntzMnoe for their appearance
at li e Circuit Court of La Salle county. Mr. Strawn
in'orni, d ihe Sheriff ihtif the secnr ty .al n-t worth a
straw, and rernoiist rated with the sheriff for taking su.-h
security in ti e strotitrest icons ; hot note, iihstaud ii;
the rein"i.straiice of Mr. Strain, the Shenlf accepted
the bail, delarrd ly Mr. S its woitiiltss. Their botnl
v.as forfeite.l and proved entirely worthless, and thus
these scoundrels Went iitiwhipt . f justice, thront'll the
cotiir'tv.iiice. if not wiiful corritplinti. of the Slirr:ff. hnp
iiitr tin rt I y to "stick anol.cr slake" for the nfli e in
l-6'i. any man who vouhl ti us prost tnte hi' otiice to
su b bae and damnable trcat n against the ititere-t of
the p.. pie, is certainly ummrthyof the upport of the
peoj le i. hose interest he has thus wantonly ne'raye-l.
For ihe trinh of this statement the public are re -.-ri-d
to Mr. David Slra u, alio is well known in litis county
a a niuli of truth aud v-racity.
The next charjre ihat is n.nde neainst hitn is that, for
the sake of pi rsunal political ii:ti rest, he would refuse
or u ilfully neglect to execute paper, placed in his hands,
no tcatt. r how important to the parti, interested, if he
had liny fear of injury to himself or his political popu
larity for the next time he should cffei himself a' a can
didate for the same cflice. As an instance of this.
Meters Chii'rnsero A l.ldridge nlnced in his hands a
summon xga ust a man by the name of ilohhs, and he
kept tl.e -inns' ons m h;s hands near'y three months
without executing it, and lotig after the term of the
Circuit Court as held, nlthotitrh he a as seen repaatedly
in coiivcrsMtioti mith l.im ; and in the mean time Mr.
Ilobbs moved with his eff els to Iowa, and the parties
lost heir et tire claim of over four thousand ilodtir
threugh his wilful neg'ect. which nas alike inexcusable
and I til. If a man could thus sacrifice the interest of
parties in the nsgiect f his duty, we ask aeaiu, is he
worthy of public confidence? For the particulars aud
tru h of this statement, the reader is respectfully refer
red le the Honorable Judge of the Recorder's Court of
Peru an I La Salle.
We will here digress a little from our orhrinal plan, to
let in some testitrotiy af a more private nature and
then will resume on his public acts.
At the death of Mr. Randolph Sitter, he was owner of
a lnnila r yard in the city of Oltawa, which was placed
in Mr. Waterman's hands to sell; and in conversation
with Mr. I. H. Piedenhurph, he remarked that he was
making a great many friends siith that luuilier yard,
and said that, when a farmer bought a load of luiuher,
lie would generally throw in over measure 80 or ha feet,
and it made them f. el good towards him. This was res
tore his first election. Any man who would thus wilfully
rob the widoas and orphans for the sake of political
friendship, is he worthy f tbe confidence of the prthlic?
This is another instance of his making to himself friends
with the mammon of unrighteousness, if it did belong
to widows and orphans. For the truth of this matter,
and for full particulars, the reader is referred to Mr.
Isaac d. Fredenhurgh, of Ottawa, who is at all times
ready and willing to speak for himself. Is it. therefore,
any wonder that he had so little conscience in hie
county operations ? We ask again, is he worthy of your
confidence and support? md can the people of th's
caunly so far forget their independence and mannoea.
merely tor the sake of supporting reejular nominees, to
vote for a man who ia so innoxious to bis own party
and to the public generally, and so buried in his own
corruptions? We have too much confidence in the in
tegrity of the people to believe that they will.
But we are not yet doue with th e nominee for Sheriff
this fungus member of the republican party.
S. W. Hardine, of Pern. Illinois assirnee of a judg
ment against John O'Conner of Pern, and others. 12
which suit the Sheriff levied an the rroerty af Join
O'Conner, of the tewn of Rutland, and sold his farm for
the same, atbough the plaintiff in execution remonstra
ted witb htm and informed bira ef bis sdstake; yet he
persisted la selling it, although be was informed repeat-
edly of his error. The consequence was, the plaintiff
had to employ a lawyer to set the sale aside at bis own
expense, besides paying the Court charges to the amount
of sixty dollars; and by the time the matter wax pro
perly adjusted John O'Conner, the defendant in exs -u-tion,
was entirely worthless, and plaintiff lost his de
mand. Whether this ca,-e, thus obstinate y conducted,
was done for political capital or not, tins de-aneut lailh
not. But that bis obstinate and wilful course Jeopar
dized the interest of the parties there is no doubt. The
reader is referred toCupt. Harding, of Peru, for the truth
f ti is statement, and for particulars iu full of this
case.
W might here also mention another case in La Salle,
ahich is the sale of the furniture of the Hardy Mouse
on an rxeculion in favor of a father airaiust his son, in
whi.di sale hy the fheriff the whole of the propeity .as
sohl at once, instead of one article at a time as the law
cotiixmplutes. and was sold for K'ghteen Hundred Dol
lars, the father being the bidder. Capt. II inly, the J
present gentlemanly owner and proprietor of the tiaidy 1
iicuae, nail the sate set aside in consequence or its ille
gality, and bought the same property at a bans fide sale
for about Pix iluitdrsd Dollars. The first sale was evi
dently intended ta cover the property from ather credi
tors, and how niu - the tSheriflT assisted by the sale ill
its consumation the public will judge. We wili, iu thia
connection, mention that the records of the Circuit
Court of this couuty will show four or live cases in which
suit mi brought ag tiiist him for malfeasance in office,
or for eflicial neglect, or lor a taduie to settle with par
ties. As these Bllila were all MileoeeH hv liis ueflLii
them. We are not able to tell tih:.t the nature of them I
a. If we had the declarations in each case we would
publish them In this connection, hut it is sufficient that
the sails .ere brought for delipq'ien.-ies of some kiti.l,
to show his inrompeteacy for the office, or they are
evidence of some coriuption iu these cases. Examine
the records for yourselves.
We have thus truly and candidly presented a few fa:ts
out of a frreat many, as a reason why Mr Waterman
is not a ud should not be entitled to the caufidence of
i.ii on party; and we might refer to many more if we
deemed it necessary. Ilis disgusting obsequiousness,
snch as his irreat supper at the Hardy IL.use. his asso
ciating himself wih the Turner association, his joining
the -oni on-iiiperaiice in riuuth O'tawa, his ollicious
atrentien at funerals, his officiating at baiis and parties,
; too. in ..very respect eniitled to the contideiice and sup
ort if his party, th's fame Waterman secretly did all
le c i:.d to defeat hitn. and labored in th, northern ,
loans to ii'cuis.ii.h his SefeH. When among demo j
era ,e a'aays represents himself as a detntcrat. and :
dei'lurrs that he never voted any other ticket iu his life.

t.'ourt. tint he widied to say fomethi.ijr. j
and the .Jud" bad stated he mitit do so j
piovib"l lie? did not abuse the privilege. ;
th Court did not expect such a pa per as '
was read, and consequently what was said j
bv the Coin t was said at the moment w ith- ;
out note, and there was no reporter ptes- j
cut. It is possible, therefore, in tht statu .
nient of what follows, as it is j:ive:i from i
memory, there may be a few sentences
which were not actually siokttn. and there j
may have been some spoken which are not (
here set down. The object has been merely j
to give the leading ideas of th Court iu i
the 1'tTnark" whicli were made. j
The Court Judjie Drumrnond. It is '
rather an abuse of tii privilege allowed to j
vou to read such a document as we have
! ju-t heard. If I understand it correctly, i
the substantial part of it is that you in-ist
tiiat tho law, under which you hav !
been convicted, is unconstitutional. That j
point was fully considered by the Court, j
even thoiiL'h it was not ninJd by your j
eountiel ; indeed the binding force of the j
law was conceded by them. They in j
terms admitted the law was constitutional ;
Ami it is one of the most remarkable ca-1
ses of the hallucination which will soum-
iniea come over tlie mind oa certain sub- j
jeets, that after what has occurred you will
still insist the law under which you have
been convicted is contrary to the constitu
tion. Let nie recall the leading facts of
the case. The slave had t-scajied from
Missouri ho was in tho enstody ol'an ofii- j
cer, who held him by a warrant from aj
Commissioner, obtained by the person to
whom the service was due, ami who was j
the! ttt the time of the rescue claiming
him. You know nil this by express iiilor
mation communicated to you at the time
by the highest judicial oflicerofthe State,
w ho appealed to you in the strongest man
ner not to attempt a rescue. You chose
to disregard all these warnings, ami under
the dictates of your eonscitnec, as you call
it, to set them at defiance, ami to rescue
the slave by violence from the hands of
the oflicer of the law.
Tho allegation that the law of ISoO is
unconstitutional is a mere pretext it is a
cover to conceal an. attack upon tbe Con
stitution itself. It is true the Constitution
does not use the word slave. It loft slave
ry where it found it, in the States, and de
clared when a fugitive escaped from one
Stat to another he should be surrendered
up to the claimant. There has never been
any diller. uce of opinion among sensible
men who understand the subject, that the
provision iu the Constitution which de
clare. "No person held to service or labor
'in one State, under the laws thereof, esca
ping into another, shall, in consequence
'of any law or regulation therein, be dis
charged from such service or labor, but
'shall ' le delivred up on claim of the party
'to whom such service or labor may be due"
included a negro, who, by law, was held
as a slave in the State from which he es
caped. If, then, this be so, and words can
be used so as to express a meaning in the
case contemplated, an obligation' wa iffl
posed soinetviiorp, and tlie authority of

whs intended to moan a i-lave, and the

who doubts on this point i profoundly ig- '.

hitn to discu- it. It was, then, an oll-jiice '.
under the ' 'ontitution this ititcrt'vierx'e '
by force witii the riht of a claimant for ;
which Colijrea could impose a penalty. j
Hut it is said that the slave, ouht to have 1

viebl to su'-h a doctrine as you in-ist on.

government on the fac of the earth to
chaos. I, as .Judge, have to deal with
your rights and with those of Mr. Phillips,
tho claimant o! this sl ue, r.s citizens and
inhabitants of these Cnitrd States, each
of vou os ing rdleeiance to the 'olist.ttltion
and the laws. Neither of you can declare
that vou will obey this and disobey that
injunction of the Constitution. You arc
both bound by t-.try injunction, and you
as much as he.
1 have said this much because I can not
sufler the document which you have ju.-.t
read, and which contains doctrines so !
much at war with the true spirit of the
Constitution and ail sound government, to j
pas unnoticed by this Court. How long,
tvould the union of these .Mates last if ail
the citizens of the Northern States should !
act as you did at Utawa last October?
The clauses in the Constitution upon the
subiect of slaverv are a ia: t of the creat
compact made by our fathers, and so long j
as it exists we are bound, as honest men. ;
to live up to it in good laith, whatever
may be our own views as to the propriety
of their insertion in that instrument.
Slaverv can never be abolished by ymr
method. It has disappeared from the
Northern States under the sanction of la.v,
and not by violence.
If you had consulted the rciif" teachings
of that Hook to which you have referred,
you would have found 110 authority for
vour act of violence. If y u had followed
"the precepts of that hVdocmer, whoso
name vou invoke, you would have disco
vered "no warrant for your high-handed
proceecings. He did not command Jiis !
followers to interfere by force with the' re- j
lation between master and slave, which j
existed when h lived in the world. Let ;
me assure you, and thos who think with i
vou, that if vou wisa to see Slaverv cease j
to exist in our country, you can accomplish
the object much inor? speedily by adopt
ing some of those means which Ilecoun
selod for the removal of evils among men.
Apply those means to the evil of slavery,
am! your efforts will be infinitely more
effectual.
It is not the wish of the prosecuting of
ficers of the Government, as 1 am given to
understand it certainly is not mine, that
any severe punishment should be inflicted.
The main object was to vindicate the Con
stitution and laws of the country. That
has been done. It hits been shown that
juries will prove true to the obligations
which they take upon themselves that
the laws can be enforced. That having
been done, the principal object of the pro
secution has been accomplished. The case
was an aggravated one, certainly, but not
withstanding that, and the extraordinary
character of the paper which you have
read, I shall not materially deviate from
the course I had marked out for myself,
I shall not impose upon you a severe
penalty.
The Court then sentenced him to pay a
fine of one hundred dollars, and be im
prisoned ten days.

the evening after tiii adjournment of the

such a macterly maimer that he was ena

the peoile, and they put th ir foot upon
the neck of the hydra-headed monster
and crushed its power.
Now, let me ask you. my friends, if
Trumbull's ideas hat! then prevailed if
the Stat had gone through the od'ous
forms of repudiating her honest and jut
debts, what man would evt-r afterward
have thought of going into the eastern
money tii.ti ket. or to Kurope, to ask sub
scription:, ol stock to the railroads, which
are now tho material agents of our pros

high road of prosperity, and if one means
failed h sought another. He saw the
real u.tnculty which lay in the path ot
I
lier progress. v. an the ciear eye 01 a
statesman he comprehended her obstacles
and the means of their removal. He
sought the counsels of a Clay, a Webstwr,

capacity and undoubted patriotism. and iu

My countrymen, how plainly do we find
our pro-perity in the road of national
peace .and well being! At the same ses
sion of Congress when tho-e Compromise
measures were proposed. Sonator Douglas
was able to bring forward and can v thro'
successfully bis grer.t measure of relief to
his own State, the grant of lauds to her

j no begging proposition addressed to the
i geucritoity of the national government, but
a wise aim judicious disposition 01 tuts
public domain by the grant of alternate
sections, while tlie retained sections were
doubled in price, and brought immediately
into market by running channels of com
merce through those wild prairies, wdiich
had been shut out from settlement for the
want of such channels. Need 1 tell what ; vvji;(.i, 0"ur country has a just right to hope

ly moie than other measure you have now
iu cot mplation. The people are a'.! an
xious for the annexation of Cuba as soon
as it can be obtained on fair and honora
ble term. and why? In order to get
the small, pitiful trade cf that Island.
We all talk about the great importance ol"
Central America in order to extend our
commerce: it ia valuable to tbe extent it
goes Ec't Cuba. Central Ammica, and all
the islands surrounding them put togeth
er, arc not a thousandth part of the value
of the great Last India trade that would
be drawn first to our western coast, and
then ncr-)-? the vallev of the Mississippi,
if thi- railroad be constructed. Sir, if we.
intend to extend our commerce if we in
tend to make the great ports of the world
tributary to our wealth, we must p-osecuto
our tra le ea-iwaid or westward, as you
ple.-e: we must penetrate to the raeiile,
its islands and its continents, where the
great mass of the hum. 01 family reside
wh.-ie the articles that have built up tho
powerful nations of the world have always
com from. I cue i.o whether you look
at it iaa commerei d point cf view as a
matter of administrative economy at home,
as a question of military defence, or iu
reference to the building up of the nation
al wealth, and power, and glory; it i the
gr:-at measure of the age a meaure that
in my opinion, has been postponed too
Ions'.'
Ta t us pnu-e a single. jrioirter.f my friends,
to look at the importance, of this India
trade, propo-td to be reached by this Pa
cific Ibulroad. Jiuiit up by i. the ancient
city of Palmyra pr.mi.y sent its bristling
spiles to the ski. s. At lirst a glove of
palms, in the midst of a wild and truck
ler s desert of burning sands, wh.-ro the
traders of the Indies pitched their tents
to rufresh themselves beneath its cool
shades a,nd quench their thirst from its
springs, the magic power of this trade of
ImlTa lorded it into a city which comm-ind-ed
the admiration of the world. Constan
tinople. Lisbon, and other great cities of
renown, flourished with wonderful pros
perity during its continuance with them,
and entered upun the .gradual process of
decay when that trade was withdrawn.
Don. Ion. now proudly claiming to be tho
queen of the world, get-? her wonderful
power from the. magic influence of this
trade, and would begin the melancholy
course of dilapidation and ruin the mo
ment that influence is withdrawn.
Is it nothing to us that the eye of Sena
tor Douglas has caught the impoltame of
' this trade, nnd is endeavoring to sieze up
on t he insti umentalilies by which it Can
be drawn across the American continent
to build up new cities, antl aid our nation
in its generous rivalry? Is it nothing to
us, that from geographical position w'e
must of necessity be in the thoroughfare
of that mighty trade if tho Pacific Kail
road is constructed? Can any imagina
tion picture to us the grandeur, wealth,
and prominence of this Mississippi valley
if this work is accomplished? Through
out iir eniire limits not one acre of waste
land will be found; a fertility of soil and
; variety of production exceeded liy no sec
i tiou upon the face of the habitable globe;
a clime vicing in salubrity with the choi
cest sections of sunny Italy.
Now. let me ask vou wiiat has become
i cr that'tfrcat Pacific' Kailroad project from
eroat enerej to the settlement or the
ujo..
slavery issue, so that tire country may once
more start upon her path of prosperity, he.
at the same time advocates a homestead
to each actual settle r, in order that, as the;
road is built, the country along its lines
may be settled up by th hardy and indus
trious laborers who build it and who best'
deserve to own it as it is receiving its (Jet-elopement
from their labor. And yet
our Republican 01 ,onents, while tluee la
borers are now out of employment while
their wives and their children vow sutler
for the want of many of the comforts of
life while they have no homes around
which the otiVctious may cluster, an4'
