THE Subscriber takes the liberty of observing to his friends and the cit izens of Richmond County, that some ma licious & evil disposed persons have tho’t proper to state that Mr. R. M. Coombs was to act as my Deputy Jailor, in case I succeeded to the office of Sheriff'at the en suing election, Knowingthat Mr. Coombs has enemies that are my intimate friends, this repre sentation has been made no doubt with the intention to injure my election. 1 will further state to such persons as feel interested in this arrangement,that it was never contemplated by either of us. It has also been rumoured about, that I did not want the office for myself. In case I should be elected I calculated on enjoy ing the emoluments of the office, if there should be any; and trust the citizens of Richmond county will allow me the same privilege that others have enjoyed, of at taching to the office a deputy, and a jail or if there should be any business to do. I do not wish the office upon any other terms than such as are fair and honoura ble. The reports to which I have alluded originated with electioneering characters and are as false as they are base.
