Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1855-12-14

new county want anything unfair or ille-
gal, and il they had not been alarmed aud
misled by New Berlin trieksters, those re-
cords would not have been abstrncted-
Messrs MILLER, BOYER, and ROME, the
Commissioners Of Snyder, are honest men,
and when the facts Of the Law are fully
given them by the Court, we have no
doubt they and our Commissioners will
arrange the matter amicably, and leave the
Times and its clique to hunt up its law
suits somewhere else.
The original provision for selling the
public buildings having been struck out
by New Berliners' influence, they still be-
long to Union county, and can not be ia
ken over to Middleburg in the stage. But
if evil counsels prevail on Middlecreek, and
New Berlin involves the counties in strife,
any further division may COS. our cousins
over there more than it would be worth.
We prefer peace, but Union county can
sustain her interests as well as any of her
neighbors, if the must have contest.
80 But what wont LepisJu,y do ?"
says the Times, just as if this alleged
moustrous act of injustice was all done by
Lcwisburg. The truth is, Lewisburg had
no more to say about what musty papers,
stove pipes, &c, should be removed, than
the man in the moon had. Two Commits
sioners, one citizen of Hartley and the
other Of kelly-men just as independent
of Lewisburg as they are Of New Berlin
directed what should and what should
not be taken and We are told that nearly
every citizen Of New Berlin Except Sam'l
Wcirick and the Times clique said they
acted right, according to the law, and man
fully and checrfully assisted in the not
agreeable but unavoidable work. New
Berlin in truth did more than Lewisburg
in tina. particular matter, whether right or
wrong.
The disposition of the Times in this in
stance, shows what VIC may continue to
expect. Suitors who do not gain their
cause in Court (as one or the other gener-
ally fail to do y will be told that L" Lewis
burg" made them lose it! If it should
be bad travelling when getting to Court,
they will be told it is all in consequence
of Division. If their cattle miscarry, or
a scarcity Of food Prevails, or their sour
krout spoils, they will be told that it is a
judgment on the land for taking the coun-
ty seat away from New Berlin 4! If folks
grow old and feeble, they will be told they
were young and healthy before the Lewis
burgers tried to get the county seat! If
horses run away, or the weevil prevails, it
will be all laid to " Lewisburg' In short,
whatever may be undesirable, the Times
and its clique will contrive some way to
hitch upon Lcwisburg, just as Esq. Weir
ick IN his Wing speech denounced
Lewisburg as too sickly for county seat.
One thing, however, is evident: the vul-
gar and baseless abuse of Lewisburg by
the Times and other presses for few years
past, has neither made New Berlin the
" city, nor Lewisburg the " haDitation of
bats and owls" that they predicted. Jud-
ging of the future by the past, it might
be profitable subject Of inquiry, How
large will New Berlin be, and how large
Lewisburg, in ten years-prorided the
Times and its kindred spirits continue to
slander and prophecy against Lewisburg,
and to magnify New Berlin in adverse pro-
portion?
