townships, boroughs and individuals have
advanced means depending upon their being
asserted and eq,alizsa according to law.
Every days delay is producing anxiety,
and trouble. One general act would cover

whole counties where Republicans and
Union Democrats have advanced the
money, aud save their party friends from
paying any of it. | think the Uuionis,s
should hold together on general bill-aud
if the Copperheads choose to 60 into the
next election on that issue, let 'em 60!
