viii all lie received as astonishing ners to
all .'our folks" who have known him best
and longest.
Another disin'cres'e3 chap, writing in
aPhilad paper, very patrouizlngly states of
"U~iox CouNrY. Only i,ro
newspapers are published in the county. An
Energetic editor, who has same respect for the
ogjaions Of ofhers, would find here an EXCEL
LENT OPENING.
To be sure, we have three papers, and
the wrecks of dozen or fifteen others
one press was sold aud taken away recent
ly, and another is "lying round loose
somewhere" in Frick's barn; there arc
f5rty papers published within about forty
mules of LcwIsburG.. nevertheless, night
smart, energetic chap, who wouldn't stick
at trile., or mind getting in debt, but
who would have more regard to others
views than to his own, might fud here a
good "openiug" for few hundred dollars,
prorilcd he is not so much mistaken as
the chap WAS who only wanted one year
to break up the CHRONICLE. Until the
"c0ming man" arrives-the man who will
be laborious, economical, get up steam
press, print fer nothing, obey and please
every body, aud get rich...until that time,
we Offer our humble services, in our own
weak, undecided, disrespeetful way, to an
swer all calls for jobbipg and advertising,
and to get out a paper occasionally. In
the mean time, our unfortunate, awfully
oppressed, and benighted fellow citizens
must "learn to suffer and to wait"
because the people of Chillisquaque
and "uppcr end" prefer Lowisburg to Sun
bury for their seat Of justice, the editors
of Sudbury dcprcciate them as "absurd,"
pursuing 'phantom," &C.; and We Of
Union county, for Offering to welcome
them in on their own motion, are also
denounced as "FILLIBUsTERs,' with other
terms and imputations of like savory
character. because the people Of Brady
township desire to come here for county
purposes, the Williamsport Gazette plainly
argues that they DO not know their own
business, while the jersey Shore Vede'te
likens "Lewisburg" to "RATTLEsNAKE
at the foot of tree with his mouth open
for the squirrel to walk in" .....Very
well, gentlemen, "filibusters" and "rat.
,lesnakes' though We be in your nomen-
clature, nevertheless, the people Of Brady,
Chillisquaque, &c, who know both US and
you, do vastly prefer US to you, as the
future will determine, Notwithstanding
your epithets. We, however, can not
coax ourselves to believe that We are either
Cuba stealers or "sarpints," nor do our
neighbors in Chillisquaque and Brady
"aforesaid."
-"i'roys 90 abroad to get the ne~s
from hon,e," it will be seen by the above
extracts, is not the sure way to get at the
truth. Local or personal jealousies, igno-
rance, or amin mosities, too often color the
description. As fair offset, We presents
7. 5. Down on the Delaware there is
hourishing village-named PHILADELPHIA,
on account of the peaceable disposition of
its fremen and adopted and native citi-
zens, who are mostly Qaakers-which is
well lighted with gas, but where the peo-
pie are suffering fearfully for want of an
editor with an ordinary amount of sense
and honesty, and where any verdant youth
might make a permanent Investment of
few thousand in the quickest possible time.
Ben. Franklin once ISSUED" there, but the
place has now only a few ignorant and
reckless printers. The population of
Philad. is 23l7. Tinicum and Marcus
Hook, adjoining towns, contain about
80, 900 souls each. For further particu-
lars, enquire of Lleyd's Rail,coy Guide,
