is a Candidate for the Surrigates office
he has, HNumerous and highly respectable Petitioners
Offering their Signatures from all parts of the Co
and I am told by a friend that he can have the
names of all the opposition in and about Goshen
The friends of John W. Smith
Unknown
Esq are Petitioning
for him as a Bank Commissioner. They will
appear before you very Strong, and for my
self I candidly believe there is not a better
man in the state for that Office and if consistant
do sincerely wish he may obtain it. He is clear
headed unassooming moderate strictly Just
and perhaps one of the best Mathemations in
the County – He is in a retired spot and
out of the influence of Van Buren
