H$2QQ, 900 Bonds 2

Don't be alarmed, reader you are not
spirited back to the Republication meeting
in Longstown-nor to the Youngmanstown
illumination at the expense Of the Whis-
key Inspector-nor to the splendid sup
per given by that wonderful Burg to "ihe
noblest work of God-an honest man
George Hcimbach We can assure you
all that has gone by, and the chief actors
have gone with that most flagitious of all
deceptions. But-don't laugh "a cor
respondent of the last Mifilinburg Star
tries to raise the ghost Of laid Reputation
to-whaty Why, to influence the choice
of county seat John Swineford, Esq,
is supposed to be the very tender "Jnve-
mis-" who discovered the trick, and the
Editor thanks him, twice, for his valuable
invention!
The 'Sqaire's argument is, that il Lew
isburg gets to be the county seat, she will
have all the Commissioners to do her bid
ding, AND they will certainly sign those
$500, ,000 bonds over again, AND then your
farms will be mortsaged, your eggs sheriff
ed, your chickens seized 20 so down Rail
way Directors gullots, ,!ANp all that brood
of evils depicted by Baum, Shriper 4 Co.,
will come upon us-all in conseo uence Of
voting for Lewisburs as the County Seat :.
Now Squire, this story don't hold any
better than some of your other publications.
In the first place, there is now no lac a.
lo,ciny such subscription : The Susque-
hanna road is not in existence /; it is absor-
bed in the Central Railway Company, and
that Company has no such power in pos
session. Then, Squire, the county seat
don't elect Commissioners any more, as
New Berlin used tot takes the county,
in Union as it is, to choose Commissioners;
and the farmers, the owners of lands, chick
ems, and eggs, can elect who they choose,
in spite of Lewlburs, Mifiiinburg, or New
Berlin. Voting for county seat is not vot
ing for Commissioners. And the other
Bonds were signed in New Berlin and by
New Berlin influence, you know very well.
So, you see, your whole argument is foun-
ded on a-mistake and don't hang to-
gether at that. Besides, Squire, the North
end-now Union county-gavc GOO uaj.
for Bealc, and 500 for Sheckler, and 500
or coo for Leitzel, over the Anti Railroad
Bond candidates before: 50 that, if your
alarm had had either truth or reason in it,,
it would have been no great scare after all,
for the Union that now is is 800 for Rail
roads anyhow.
That was very unkind cut for Mif1lin-
posed to anything and eyery'hipg of the
kiad' of Railroad bonds There have al
ways been good Railroad men in MitIlin-
burg, and their chief stock in trade, just
now, is the Spruce Creek Railroad, in some
quarters. Don't report them as Anti-Rail-
road men at this late day, when you have
killed your own town by running your
thick heads against the 'bullgine" in
hopes ofmaking little dirty party capital.
Give up those antediluvian notions Of
yours, and come out for Progress-both
New Berlin and Mifllinburg need it sadly
enough, and if you don't both get Rail-
road somehow, but leave US within a mile
of the Sunbury & Erie, you will both be
"done browncr' than you are now.-Good-
bye, 'Squire-write again, do

been so singular an Exemption from disease
