al feeling agninst individuals in Cleorfeld;
we pity the persons gifted with such pet
ty narrowncss Of mind, as to envy any one,
whatever his location, any degree Of per-
sonal position, and stili moro do
we commiseyate the condition Of mind,
possessed by him who looks with Jealousy
upon the prosperity Of the seat Of justice,
of a county Of which it should be his
pride to be citizen. All right minded
men are proud OF that which they, as one
Of q social community, can call their own,
and we only need point to the fact that
we have now in Clearicld churches of
different istiardenominations, all built,
not alone by this borough, but by contri-
buttons from citizens oithe county, that our
own ctzrs yiewith each otherin adorning
and beaulilying our village and that our
public spirit in building roads and bridges
and aiding in all other public works, will
bear at least a favorable comparison with
those Of any other village in the county
9th. Removals of the location Of coun-
ty seats, occasionally become necessary,
when from the growth and deyelopement
Of one section Of a county, its business
is largely increasedin acertain location, and
the rapid administration OF justice require
the Courts to be in the midst Of the mass
Of the population. Nosuch extraordinary
emergency occurs here; the increase Of
the county is even and regular, and no
section Of the county is so much more
densely popopulated than the other, as to
require any change.

Of taxation must result from the erection
Of new Court House and pondero, rows
Of ciphers, are held up to the startled gaze

To this we only have to say that within
the next days contract can be CONS
pleted with competent workman, with
reslonsible sureties, to take the old mates
rial, and erect and f,aSh a new Court House

adjoining counties, for $4,000. And fur
ther, that committee Of gentlemen OF
this Borough, of uudoubted means, will
guarantee from their knowledge Of the f.
nanccs Of the county that there shall be
no iacrc18c of taxation, and that if the
means of the comfy at the present rate Of
taxation, shall be found inadequate, at once
to meet the expense, that they will pro-
vide the funds, and look to the county for
reimbursement, ont of the usual rate of tax

The present inhabitants of Clcarfeld
have paid for their property at its value rs
enhanced by the location of the county
seat there, they also pay their taxes upon
the value of that property thus enhanced,
and in reality they have contributed large.
ly towards all the county eXpcnces; and
the hope that their fellow citizens will
accord to them as a community, those
rights, that as individu ais, the laws Of the
land give them, sustain them now and will
sustain them until they are undeccived.
