How Goes the Tide I?

The following is the opinion Of Hon
GALUsuA A. GROW, the Democratic Mem
Der Of Congress from the Wi!mot District,
Pennsylvania, who is now running his
third term for Congress, without a COM
petitor. He maintains, now, the same
stand as he did when he uttered the proph-
ecy found below, (while opposing the re-
neal of the Missouri Compromise, on the
floor of the National House of Represen-
tatives, in May last,) and we understand
is opposed to the reelection of Gov. BIG
LER:
But, sir, as an early and constant friend
Of this Administration, l desire the defeat
of this bill; for its passace IL u my
Judgment, insure, beyond doub;, an anti
Administration majority in tle next Con-
gress. As an earnest and devoted friend
Of tho Democratic party, to which nave
given my best energies from my earliest
political action, desire the defeat of this
bill f; for its passage will blot it cut as
ha'iOhai vi SdhiLitiuH, duu, iS1'inS ""'
wreck in every northern State, it will live
only in history. As a lover Of peace, har-
mony, and fraternal concord among the
citizens Of the Confederacy, and as a devo-
tee at the shrine Of this Union, with all
its precious hopes to man, desire the de-
feat of this bill for its passage will tear
open wounds not yet healed, lacerate
spirits already frenzied, and " the bond of
confidence which unites the two sections
of the Union will be rent asunder, and
years of alienation and unkindness may
intervene before it can be restored, if ever,
to its wonted tenacity and strength"
Sir, this is the only element of discord
that can ever sunder the bonds of this
Union; and there is one method to render
even this harmless. And that is, faithfully
to observe all the compromises and recon.
citations Of its conflicts, and henceforth
Danish it forever from these Halls.
Since Nebraskality was made an Ad-
ministration measure, the Administration
has lost every Northern State in which ar
Ekcticn has been held-Iova, Vermont

sgr'The right of private Interpretation
is an American right, which neither Ro-

us of. In the exercise Of this right, the
editor of the Bloomsburg Star gives the
following 'free translation of the above

These commentators are all mistaken

for a joke merely-the "D K Ms being

somewhat large and unorganlzcd body in

quite calm since it became a county seat
again, We infer that there were at least
two sides to the question.
Col. BEST, in his last weeks paper
in effect confirms Mr.. Cooks opinion oi
the benefits of Division to Montour, by
the following brief facts
"The Court terminated on Tuesday eve.
ming, on which day all the Jurors were
discharged.
"The County Treasurer, Col Deeu, was
present, with ample funds to cash all coun
ty orders. Our county affairs, in the hand,
Of the present Commissioners, are well
managed, and altogether Montour county
is prosperiug, although it does not afford
much law business, or require protracted
sessions of the Court"

Testimony Of Clinton County.
LOCK HAVEN, Sept. 81, lS5

II. c. HIcKok, Esq-Dear Sir: | have
received your letter propounding certain
questions, as follows, aud you will tiud my
answer appended to each:
1st. "What was the cost Of your
(Clinton) County buildings when finished
for use? Are they sufficient for the wants
of the county, and were they erected by
taxation?"
Reply. The cost of the Court House
and Jail amounted to about 2O,0O0
They are sufficient for the wants Of the
county, both Court House and jail being
spacious and conveniently arranged. These
buildings were erected by taxation.
u. care the taxes Of Clinton county
perceptibiy higher higher in proportion tc
the property than they We're, say ten year;
previous 70 the diyision!'
Rpy. The taxes were never very hist
in this county for county purposes, and
do not think they were at any time higher
than in the old counties Of Lycoming anC
Centre, from which Clinton was erected
The county was organized in the fall Of
1880. Our county tax is now (lo5i) 2!
mills to the dollar Of valuation. There is
more revenue now in the county than viii
nav all her liabilities. Besides the erec
ton of the public buildings, the count,
has been at great expense in erecting an'
repairing bridges-one bridge alone COS.
ing $4,000.
Sd. ais there any general inclination
to have Lycoming and Clinton countie
reunited as they were before the division?
Rpy, No such inclination has exis
tence within the limits Of Clinton county
but every person is content and more thai
satisfied.
4th. "Have or have not the genera
interests of the people of the two countic
been benefited by the division:'
Reply, l think without doubt the.
have. Clinton county is in decided stat
of prosperity, and large share of thi
must be attributed to the erection Of tn
new county. Very respectfully,
C. A. MAYER.

To THE Hon. JAMES MARSHALL.

To THE Hon. JAMES MARSHALL
Yours of the Goth inst, requesting our
opinion in relation to certain bond sign
ed by William Cameron, Esq, and othcrc
to the Hon. Abraham S. Wilson, Esq, i'll
the sum of fifty thousand dollars, on con-
dition, that, Sin case the county of Union
should be divided at the next session OF
the Legislature, and the majority of the
qualified voters should decide by ballot,
that the county buildings for the northern
part (to be called Union County, should
be located in the Borough of Lewisburg," i"
the obligors "shall erect or cause to be
erected and constructed all necessary
County buildings, and procure the grounds
necessary on which they are to be erected,
without taxation TO the County; the build
ings are to be completed within eighteen
months after the location is determined as
aforesaid, and not to be inferior to those
recently erected at Bloomsbury in the
County of Columbia, and also to be sub
jcct to the approval to the Court and Com
nissioners of the County in which such
buildings are to be erected &c. You in
quire whether this Bond is valid and bind
ing and capable of being enforced against
the obligors, if the events therein specified
should happen?
We have examined the Bond,
and are clearly of opinion that
the same is valid and binding,
and that, if the County should be
divided by the Legislature, and
the Seat of Justice be located at
Lewisburg, as contemplated In
the Condition of the Bond, and
the County of Union should ne
cessarily incur any expense In
the purchase of grounds or in
the construction and erection
thereon of the necessary County
Buildings, equal in character TO
those of Bloomsbury, that to the
extent of such expense not excee-
ding Fifty thousand Dollars the
Bond can be enforced, in the
name of Abraham S. Wilson, for
the use of the County, against
all the persons who executed the
same. JOSHUA w. Comfy,
