win now. Mr.. Editor. ccmmence the
discussion Of the county division question
with al the fairness and candor that you
! or any one else can ask; aud let me firsi
. sendeavor 10 set the question in its true
light before an impartial public. The
town Of Hillsborongh, (which has more
, scribblers and takers than the whole Of
Orange county beside,) has rtry ariftsiiy
induced the people in the eastern part Of
Orange to believe that this proposition
. from the west 10 divide the county is an
! attack upon the east, and that the people
! of Hillshorough are mighty good eastern
folks. Yes, sir, they will be good eastern
folks as long as the east viii give them
their money and support; but let the to.
bles be mmed-let The east go against
them aud the west sustain them-and
: there never could be such clever fellow:
as the Irish on StOney Greek and the
Dutch over Haw River. The truth o.
the case is, that Hillsborough loves on,
end about as well as the other, and she
loves the middle great deal better thar
:, either. She holds on TO the east will
y one hand, and with the other boards III,
Of west, and says pay thou tribute 10 Cssa
:. too,
!. This, sir, is no fancy sketch. II is fll
= ly sustained by facts within the know
ledge of every one. No one pretands tina
the inhabitants of Hillsborough are no
eptitled TO equal rights and privileges will
the same number Of the citizens of 0rang,
u any where else, but who gave them great
u er privileges! Not the constitution or tn
" laws.
:, The first proposition made by the Yves

a county were divided! Hillsborough. VIII
