The Bonds-Making 1t all Sure.

on our first page, will be responded to by
the friends of Division in this vicinity. A
bond has been drawn up, which is now
being circulated for signatures, which will
amply indemnify the people against any
taxation for county buildings if the people
choose to have the site in Lewisburg. We
expect to publish the bond next week, and
defy the Youngstown and Limestone law
yers to pick flaw in it. Other localities
will perhaps execute the same bonds.
Fair notice is given, that New Berlin
may prepare a similar bond and thus offer
positive proof of her yearning anxiety
to save the dear people from taxation. 1t
ought not to be doubted that such rich
town as the Times claims it to be, should
after reapng rich harvests from the peo-
pie and the treasury for forty years-be
able, and willing, nay anxious to put up
the buildings contemplated by the Start
a year ago last Spring, when the people
of the "mctropolis" came so near imposing
new buildings, at an unknown cost, upon
the people, without a word of notice!
Our correspondent is one Of large
class of men who worked strong against
Division last year, but who after mature
reflection have concluded that new build
ings at more central points without cost
to them, would be infinitely better than to
be taxed for the same at the old site, not
convenient for three-fourths of the people.

eg. The Star this week stoutly denies,
and labors long and hard to disprove, the
disordcrly outrages rerpetrated by the out
silcrs at the late Democratic Convention;
but such attempts are all in vain. There
were too many responsible witnesses, pre-
sent from all parts of the county, who can
vouch for the accuracy Of our statements,
and who carried home with them impress
sions Of that days occurrences that are
likely to remain as permanent fixtures in
their minds. An apology would be much
more betting :hc occasion than such coarse
dcnials; and, We may add, would be much
more advantageous to New Berlin inter-
ests.
sgThc Star seems to think that New
Berlin was a very nice place, previous to
the agitation Of the Division issue. Now
if We may take the newspapers Of that
town as evidence, the reverse is the fact.
Our aged citizens will all remember, that
previous to that issue, the Youngstown pa
pers were constantly proving that all the
people of Union county we're good honest
folks, except those in Longstown, but when
