are decidedly opposed to repairing the
Court House at New Berlin, or building
new one in its place, either with or with
out aid from the county treasury.

bic exceptions, have done nothing for the
prosperity of the place, but have always
opposed, upon principle, all public i'm
provements there and elsewhere, and have
been content to remain as pensioners upon
the bounty of the people of the county at

/ for their own comforts, and interest, and
convenience

immediate division Of Union county, by
! the line proposed in the petitions now in

result, and thus promote their interests
and ours.

preventative from this district to their con-
s,i,uents, and we respectfully call upon
