satisfied that large proportion do, and

and only real issue.l We answer. q 're.
moval or DIVISION But we are asked, can.
not we prevent division without a reno.
vall No. The upper portion Of the county
are determined to have one or the other,
and il the removal is killed, union will be
had upon the division, and then the county
will be distracted not by the removal but
by the division question: The Danville
faction may throw around il. all the false
coloring that their inven,ative Imagination
can conceive. and il will no. change the true
issue. They may say ,ha. they are oppos.

county together-tha, they are opposed TO
removal on account of the expense--they
may make false issues by attacking the
private character Of Daniel Snyder. and

defeated in their division project of last
winter, they now raise hypocritical cry
against division in the county, ,,hinking,by
that means TO siae The cry for a removal.
Are they any the less friends of division
now than they were last winter!-wil they
be any the less ready to assist Senator
Headley at the next session than they were
at the last?-tlIat they did so. we have POI.
