veyance Of foreign mails deem 1t right to mention, for
the information of those interested that with view Of
promoting steam communication with northern port in
the States the Bahama government has guaranteed the
Of 81 900 sterling per annum, for five years to any
company which makes Nassau, N p regular stopping
point.
In addition to this premium, there would be other
Of profit. To say nothing of the emouments
from the monoI oily of numerous passengers, and frem
reights it is than probable that the Royal Mail West
India Packet Company would promote the undertaking by
of the British mail TO Nassau, which under such
system, would be transmitted from Liverpool via New
York. / have to believe that the W. Packet
Com, any would find it more convenient do.
The steamer between New York and Havana would d
verge little from her course and the additional time
required would not much exceed twenty four hours l

Having thus given the facts and the
figures in the case, We remark in closing,
that the Division question is yet to be
decided If the Vaccinations of the Helm
bach party at New Berlin succeed in mis-
leading the people by divcrting them from
the true issue at present, they will only
postpone the evil day. Hundreds of reso-
lutte men are determined not to let the
question rest until it is FAIRLY and HON.
EsTLY tested, on its merits alone and in
a long contest, they are fully equal to New
Berlin. Thus far, the opponents Of Divi-
sion are doing all there is doing upon the
question, but not honestly and aboveboard.
The friends of Division are doing next to
nothing; and unless they 60 speedily to
work, and that in earnest, they will most
assuredly be dcfeated-and another "forty
years in the wilderness" climbing the
mountains Or threading the hills to Longs
town, may be before them and their child
ron. LY-One thing is certain-ncw
County Buildings, sonaewherc, will soon
have to be erected; and soMEBoDIEs will
have to pay for them!
Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1853-09-02

twill be seen that the Division districts
did not get out half their vote, while the
Anti-Diyision vote was over fre-seuenGs
polled. New Berlin had only Is absent
Penns had 124! Limestone, 26 absent
East Buff, So! Centcrvillc, 81 absent
Lewisburg, JOY! West Beaver, SS absent
White Deer, 104! Thus it will be seen
that the Divisionists made comparatively
no efforts at home, much less in the Neu-
trail districts while the New Berlin Anti
Divisionists and Caucusites put forth their
mightiest energies, and polIed every vote
they could.
We next give the votes as cast for the
Representative, as proof to every one that
Division was not made the test question
Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1853-09-02

Perhaps the Star will contend that the
Commissioner was the test. But it so
happens that the Star said nothing about
Mr.. Seebold's views on Division, although
his views on Railroadism were blazoned
forth conspicuously. And while it barely
admitted Mr. Gundy at the last day-after
he had paid for it as an advertisemcnt!-
to insert brief card, it wronged and
insulted him by alleging that he was
'.prating," and warned the people not to
be "deceived' by him in reference to the
County Buildings. The following is the
vote for Commissioner, and when compared
with that for Representative will be addi-
tional proof that no such test was made
Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1853-09-02

New Berlin men promise active Wings, in
Neutral or Division towns, c6ice at some
future time, if they will oppose Division ;
and thus influence many whose judgment
and interest are for Division, to oppose it.
But the examination of the Wing vote
polled, also testifes that the nominating
election was no test on the Division ques-
tion.
Below is the vote for Scott last Nov'r,
and for Assembly last month, arranged in
districts as they have been, and as they
most naturally would be, on the Division
issue, properly presented:
