THE TRUE ISSUE.

Tho only issue that will sway OF
control the votes Of Morgan county
this Fall, is that of local taxation
or, in other words, hat arising out
Of the proposition TO build Pike
Roads in u county.

ally, in as direct a manner as that
of the Pike Road proposition, and
you touch n very 30 nsit!ve part
This has been illustrated in the nc.
ton OF the People in calling n pcor
pies County Convention and nomi-
mating q Peoples Ticket. But, on
the other hand, touch the pockets
of the Pike Road advocates of Nc.
CoD~nclsville, as has been done by
the action of the People IN
nominating said ticket, and
you touch the sensitive plant itself;
and, as q consequence, you sec eve.
ry argument, whether p~artaking
of the nature of truth OF ialsehood,
put forth TO enhance the value of
said pockets. The arguments which
r used in favor of tho Republican
Pike ticket are various and contra
dic:ory. On some corners of your
McCounelsville streets, avowed
Pike mon, who design carrying
their point by tricKory and dccep.
tion, may be found, who proclaim
the Pike question TO be dead /; on
other corners, tho moro honest Pike
mon acknowledge the question to
DO n living one, and they try TO ar.
quo tho question on its merits,-
This latter class, with an outward
air of candor and honesty, confront
the Anti-Pikor with the question :
"WIllnot we be subjected TO tho pay.
mcnt OF as much of the Pike Road
tax as your" A fit answer to this
inquiry of the McConnelsvillo Pike
men is, mo, sir, you will not | You
would be if your property was all

your means arc invested in United

Pike Roads to the detriment Of The
country people. Ono of your men
admitted this TO be the caso very
recently. lie said he was in favor
of Pixies because thoy would reduce
the price of hay to $500 n ton.
whilo now the farmers get SIS, 90 O
ton for 1t. And he added that
the same reduction in the price Of
all country produce would be con-
sequent upon the building of Pike
Roads ; and, that, therefore, he was
in favor of building them. Now, is
ii to be expected that the farmers
will DO in favor of building any.
