lCOMMUNICATED.1
To the Voters Of 5larysville Town.
shin.

s01p.
We wish to submit few facts to the
voters of MarysvilIe Township through the
columns of the Union in regard to the
Township election On the fourth Monday
of this month";.
lst. Il viii be to your interest to elect
Township Trustee who will so divide the
Township into read districts tina, we can
have the roads worked and put in condi.
tion to be travelled. It is fact that can
not be disputed, .hatthe road from Marys-
vile to Guittards is in worse condition
than any portion of fthe road from Mays.
vile TO the No. river. This could be
remedied if the township was properly di.
vided into road districts.
Cd. We wanta Trustee who will see
what has become of the road tax LEVIED
upon the taxable property in Marysvil.
Township for the last two years, and wha
disposition has been made of the large
levies for Township taxes when the only
expense of the Township was the salar,
Of the Trustee and the expense OF ten dol
lars for Township election
Sd. We want Road Overseer in lbi:
road district who will work the roads and
compel those liable to work on the roads t,
perform the labor required Of them by Law
under the la'e acts of the Legislature, ane
that in case such persons refuse to perform
such labor that they be dealt with accord
ing to law. We want no Road Overseel
who is too modest to notify his neighbor'
to work on the road for fear of gainins
their dispIeasure or Injuring his business
away with such men for officers!
Unless something is done to repair th'
roads in the corporation of MarysvilIe, W.
are ceriain TO lose FIVE hundred times NOR,
han what their repair will cost; and a
the corporation of Marysvile is one roat
district, and as the law does not authoriz,
any road tax to be levied upon persona
property or town lots, The only revenue
We have to repair the roads in the corpo
rate lin is of the city is by the two day
work Of the persons liable to perform worl
on the public highways.
Let Us then elect officers who will d,
their duty and We shall have good roads
and not have the condemnation of th,
whole travelling public upon our ,owa a
account of our bad roads.

4 We have just read Senator Lanes
speech in the U. s. Senate, on "Coloniza
ton" We have never before fattered
any of Senator Lanes speeches, because
We saw nothing in them to especially ad-
mire, but this is good speech and worthy
of perusal Its principal features are an
able endorsement of the Administration,
and arguments in favor of setting of part
of Texas as colony under Territorial Gov
ernment for permanent home for eman-
cipated slaves and their postsrity.
