i The Couniy-seat Question. Again.
keiToR JorHSAL' A short reply Is necessary &
W. FoaD, who seems h bo somet,hat anxious l.
letrrIune Nhotllcrmy nopdc piu,,o is military u
weclmnicnl. Judelpg foio his vitupcration
should suppose he t,ough; It mechanical. and la,
been amusing hih,selC with poor success, in
"gnawing vt it.
! w. Fop has not reftod aineic areun,cs,
previously advanced. His simple denial does moi
dispro'e their validity dcny his assertion 0bt
4 assume tbo lead III. .:ho people in Ibis matter
! was requested 70 anSwcr his I'D Judged assumb'i,n
as advsorto 10 tl'u porleof this COUNTY, add dat,
TO- bv quite number of ts citizens who have re-.
/ deemed II troul the Wilderness, aud experienced
hi We hapislnps arising trvnl having thc county
/ seat located ia one corner of The county.
So hr as buing biased tward tic proposed
couniy-scat is concerned kavo simply to say
nave nut one acquaintance iu Bowling Green
n'Ne not doli WS worth Of property there, and
nave passed an hour In Pcuysbug Where have
spent minute IN the former place.
AS to not being iamilint with close arguments
do not THINK them necessary, when the gentleman
is unable t0 answer general nics
As to the orlcres pf travel, they are all alike in
the winter, except the plank road, which is worse
than the others, bad as they are. The onsstinn of
roads Is simply this Is It just or Is itndt To locate
tie county -scat so as iO accommodate the pctulc of
the county and shorten the distance they have ti
travel over these bad roads2 .'..
Mr. Fobu' deductions as to TblcIn and Wood
Countv, have no weight ntall, except what stated
IN my previous communication that Lucas Coun-
" removed Us cuuUly-sygt without consul ,np MS
ana the people of this county have The same IN
doubted right without the interference of outside
parties
The people Of the township mentioned by Mr.. |
rom, have li,tlc ~ ~ commercial intercourse with .
FTr\sbug aul simply 80 thcrc because it is the .
Judicial scat " the county II Tho indiciol rcnl,r

would accommodate more people than on the ex.
treme verge. strike circle with Perrvsburp as
the ccncrnud Bowling Green oa tho circumference
ana where would the northern line be2 Toledo would
be embraced, if not apart uf Michigan. Reverse il
and seq what il would include. Il would in,ule
neatly two thirds OF Wood County. If this wnnld
MOI nccomnmdaiu llic people more thnn the present
lucallpn IN l others ar much mistaken.
suppose Mr.. FoHD would hardly cndcavnr 10
oon'm'r \ lntWgr or tnX. payer that II was easier
To 20 from West Millgrofc to Pcrrysburp, than 10
slrlkr wcSi save half tie distance and 20 20 Bow
ling Grcon.
In that gcntlcman's arguments he lays great
stress on tho railroad. Does hc assume tlat one
tenth of The people of the county have more rl,ht
lohc accommodated than The remaining n,.tcnthsg
Il Is easy, grant. for n person TO travel twenty
miles by rail and back the samu day, hut we of tlc
rcnter lnd cast whoaro dcbarrcd OF this privilege
think II no tnnrc than Justice that we should have
solnc slight accommodation as well. The lax. pay
crN on The line Of ruilr0ad even when taking tho
ears, have TO employ some conveyance to reach
hem, AMI leave II, at nm expense, until thcir re-
arm, and It would bu but little further to reach the
ienicr of the county. !
Tosny that Pcrrysburg accommodates as great {
number Ol townships MS Bowling Green is worse :
han ridiculous. Eytitorr'iips lie soptR of Bow
ing Green, and the ctiS 'ns Of oil of them are !
ompolled to pass through Or it, to reach Per
NSburgi nnd not one OF these townships ever have
NY ctmluercdI intercourse with that place. Is !
his accommodating Ncm? lfso, want none of It. !
The whole question can be resolved to a small I
onpass aud That IS, the people ur1 tired OF tray
ling the whsle length of the county when there is
N opportunity Of shortening the distance. The
y"Nd OF tue CQuuty paid the taxes necessary tn
rect the public buildings and pcrrysburs has on.
Ied the profits OF tlUm, aud if The people see III
remove the cnunty-s'at and erect others, il *
lrir business and none others ...
10 fur irom iorcstalhng public sentiment or
'rnipg i, simply wruiC the previous article to
lnw The lhlacy OF the gentlemans premises. As
have been resident ol the county Cnrrc or less =,
II twelve years and nav reside in southern '
