We copy, below, the Platform OF the
New Berlin Caucus, upon which stands
Mr.. Seebod. 1t reads thus:
To tie Wing Voters Of U,ion Couaig:

CHRIST OPHER sEEBOLD.
July 25, 1853.
Now We ask any sensible person if a
man who vii sign such a pettifoggina
Card, is an honorable candidate? Mr.. S
knows-he knows beyond the shadow of q
doubt-that the question of Diicision is til.
question properly before the people; but
he says not word abou: it. Instead OF
that, however, he gratuitously gives US bis
views upon subscriptions to public improve
ments-a question which is not before the
people, and which is not likely to be d.
This Mr. Secbold We understand is a son
of the man who gave (for 67 cents most
of land upon which the CIiouse stands,
and whose family have made more money
than any other from that location He is,
therefore, personally and pccuniarily and
in every respect most deeply interested in
retaining the County Seat at New Berlin.
He is the chosen man of the New Berlin
interest, and for him all others have been
choked off The plan is to get Board of
Commissioners as fast friends of New Ber-
lin as possibic-select Grand Jurors of
the same stripe-and, some day within a
year or two the people may find a Tax
issued to put up County Buildings at New
Berlin which shall suit the fine taste and
wipe out the foul disgrace spoken of by
the .Sr The close vote Is encour-
agement to proceed" and with Mr. Seebo'5
in the Office, there would be no imped,meut.
After paying such a tax, Division would
be more difficult .....O Objectionable as is
this subterfu uge, we could hardly expect
man situated as Mr.. S. is, to do anything
different. His interests aud j;etiays are
deeply involved.
But it is for the people to say whether,
in the time 10 come when this Division
question shall be agitated, they had better
not have Commissioners who would have
no personal .tee';ny in the matter: Is it I
safe to have ill that Office, Il man 50 deeply ,
c.r pdrte-as Mr. S. evident |
ly is? Had not the office better be filed
from the outer Townships, SO that no i'm .
proper influence should operate upon these .
who select Jurors, appoint Collectors, Sc.
&c. =? S
Esy-Now see how fairly and honorably II
JACOB GUNDY &" faces the mnsic.' The r
is his avowal Of purposes
To he Peel,1e Of Union Canw: Il
Ny name has been proposed as the /
Wing candidate for County Commissioner,
and 1 have only consented to DC candi-
date by the wishes of friends.
As Mr.. Seebold has laid down his Plat
form, i have been desired to present mine
There is no law o@horj1iay any new
Railroad subscription, and no necessity fer $
that already made. If nomi- t
lated and elected, would not sign any ,
.ul sciiption for Railroad or other Stock
COMPANIES, ua6ess the pcopie atouid decide
IN its faror Ly q direct cote. E
l would also state, that | would oppose .
any rebuilding or re-modeling Of County
in New Berlin, uuIess he ieoyie
'haH 50 decide tya direct rcte. I
JACOB GUNDY. t
East Bg.g'to, AHyaa >, 1875.
Mr.. Gundy will not subscribe stock for
me County to any Corporation, NOR TAX
THE PEOPLE FOR COUNTY BUILDINGS AT
NEW BERLIN, unless the people unequiv-
'eally authorize such acts Ly a direct ro;e
Now, which is the fair and manly candi-
late. On the first point, Mr.. Gundy
,niy expressed his views because Mr. See /,
Iold had. In the latter, he hits the nail
,pan the head and We hone the neonleI
who see it will cltnch Il.
If the people shall by direct vote de-
lare for New Buildings By Tax at New !,
Berlin, the Divisionists will submit 9th
rwise, they will not cease their efforts to
elieye themselves from an unnecessary
nd growingly oppressive burden. :,
a Batch Of Lies.
