people Of that section chose rather to 20 to
Williamsport than to New Berlin, the
people of Union county attempted to
trampe them down for choosing their own
county seat-they certainly did not thwart
their will for three years, and then show
their temper by putting them (almost all
farmers) to the cost and labor Gin busy

rights !! on question Of interest merely,
involving no principle.

islature, but may yet be very useful.
The Message was referred to committee
