MR. EDIroR, see you printed ny last letter
'0indt . So fou as eOod as your word. Shalleon-
tuue TO gently press the thorn in your side BY
showing you that justice demands the removal Of
her seat. Some Affect 10 ridicule the idea that
justice has anything 10 do with the matter, and
even &C so far as to ridcule cur appeals TO the
hones, voters Of Wood County. will dispose Of
these disparaging observations in twirkliug.
Is thefe any man among those opposed 10 a re-
mova 90 reckless az 70 assert thatitis not matter
Of justicei WHY, look a the array Of disin-
terested parties who are At the head and front Of
the removal agitation.
Have they not, at great personal sacrifice,
removed from other regions as fair, located in our
little village, idontf ID themselves withour people,
bought houses and lands and muck property, with
a view to secure the removal Of the county seat,
and thus enhance the value Of their Investments,
do nice thing for them aud theirs, and all this
at but triHing sxpsuss, individually to the good
people ofthe CO unty9
Is It right, my boy, that we should oppose the
dsinteresed motives OF these men, and run counter
to their good intentions ?
Have they no rights that the good people Of the
county are bound to respect9
Is il right, my boy, that we should outrage their
confidence, wantonly destroy their fondly ycherishsd
hopes, and do violence to their high anticipations
and great expectations, by blindly opposing the
nice little scheme they have set afoot for the love
they bear the good people OF Wood ?
If their plans are defeated at the polls, Il will
only prove that counties, as well as Republics,
are ungrateful.
Is it not better that few more mills, or a few
cents more Of taxation, should be imposed upon
our rich farmers and labor-loving mechanics, foI
tho expenses involved In the construction Of new
county buildings, than that these man should sinh
their capital7
Is 1t not better that one hundred msn should
lose enc cent each than that Oue man should lose
one hundred cents Their loss is the same, bu
the burden becomes lighter in proportion to th'
extent il is diffused.
Equalization is a grand institution. Like th'
gentle dew of heaven, it touches lightly. Let th'
pockets Of many be touched lightly rather thai
the purses of few be touched heavily.
These are the views hold by the advocates c
removal. They are just and equitable, my boy
The beanty in this speciesyof equsiinkm an,
Justice is duly appreciated by myself and othe
inhabitants Of Bowling Green aud the regio
roundabout.
There is also one inlividGel in the western par
of the county that looks upon the matter in tn
same light that We do. Wien the matter wa
first presented to him, e,couldR't it. His min
was very obtuse. But when VIC intimated to hir
that we should present him With a Commissioner
jewel at the ides Of Oetnberhe began to see clearly
Light dawned upon his darkened vision. III
pure spirit at once drank in all the crystal beau
ties of justice and equalization.
Thus the good work goes on, my boy, and yo
will have reason, one day, to repent your apath
in this matter. .-
Before closing, would just state that those IN
terosted (by which mean those Of us who haV
Investments of property at stake) in the removal q
the county seat, win hold meeting at Bowlin
Green, on Saturday next, for the purpose of report
ing upon our missionary labors, and taking sue
other steps as may seem to us contributary to SUI
cess in our zeal for the yeomanry Of Wood.
A Yours, for justice and equalization,
JUNIPER JUMPER, JR.
