The Number of Petitions and of Re.
mOnStrdnceS.

In our last, we alluded to the 300 un.
doubted petitions for Division sent from
Union county. Those petitions have been
before the Legislature for two months, and
subject to every scrutiny desired. They
comprise nearly two-thirds of the votes of
the county interested. We also alluded to
the 95s ren'Oastrances against the same,
sent to our Senator; and added an anony-
nous and irresponsible assertion that over
1000 more remonstrances-making 1000
in all--had been sent in to our Represen-
tatiye, and more were on hand. This state
ment has met the eye of the Editor of this
paper, now at Harrisburg, who writes US
Wednesday last, as fellows:
None Of us can find any Remons'ranccs,
except the 9as originally presented in the Sen
ate. the chairman of the House Committee

such annexation is proposed, will be time for

county ever proposed such thing
The 300 petitions have been fairly and
above-board at Harrisburg, and also 95s

them to examine Their gcnuincness. Are
they really Center county rcmonstrances,
got up by New Berlin falsehoods! One
thing is certain, if they arc fair remon-
s:rances they should not shun the light
and if they have much over 1000, very
many Of them must be fictitious or illegal
