With feelings of more than ordinary pleasure
and satisfaction, we transfer to our columns the
following communication, which appeared in the

of the article must commend ITSELF and the views
presented must in the main challenge assent. The

the Oldest, he is of the most intelligent and
influential Why's in Portage County. He is
gentleman of large experience, of great sagacity
aud high position. Such candid and eminenty

it becomes universal, we it must, will
redeem Portage County, and the Stale of Ohio.
