he means by his Original bill" Third.
The ''unequivocal statement which he
made. was In telling Mr. MCMILLAN that
he had written him on the 9th what he
never wrote and what he never came
within thousand miles Of writing.
Fourth. The reasonable presumption"
was and is that he did favor the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Buckley 10 admit cotton ma
chinery free Of duty" for he said so; and
on this point we again Introduce the state
ment of the Treasurer of the Whiting
Machine Work in Mass, who ys,"When
Mt Washington was introduced to Mr..
Lynch by Mr.. Hoar Of Mass, and Mr..
Lynch remarked that he had favored the
proposition Of Mr.. Buckley" Why this
attempt to pull wool over the eyes OF the
people by saying that he NV does not ia
vor the proposition? We know no does
not, because To do SO would rs clrcctually
wipe him out of the coming convention
and rs quickly, rs did our last county con-
vcntion wipe out his Assessor, or rs did
the convention the previous year when it
voted to dispense with his further services
in the Probate office.
Mr.. Lynch's Assessor says that we by
no means represent the Republican feel
ing of our county. Then he does. One
wonld naturally suppose that he would
have his hands full in trying to run" one
county without trying the second; but his
stomach" like that Of his master, is ''un-
boundod.n He further says that we OPP
pose J.hn Lynch's being saddled upon
our people, because (wor,ls arc cheap we
did not get an office. Now in mathemat-
les as well as in logic every proposition,
save an axiom, has its corollary. and 1t
therefore follows, that il we oppose Lynch
because we didn't get an Office, he sup
ports Lynch because he did; furthermore,
that he conspircs to sell out the franchises
and privileges of York to stranger, in
revenge, because she repudiated his claim
to third election to the Office Of Probate,
a case which had its parallel with one
Benedict Arnold.
Who is John Lynch that grand old
York county should rcpudiate her own
men who have laborcd with and for her,
to lay herself at his feet and roll over that
she may be considered colonial depend
ence to imperial Cumberland? If she
grows men she has work for them to do
and to honor. In all this controversy we
have only asked our people to be true to
themselves, If they would be worthy OF
true men. If John Lynch with six years
of opportunity in which he has done little
else than to plan and lay wires for a
enomination-witht the whole patronage
Of the government to organize and feed
IN army of retainers to do his bidding,
and aided by the numerical superiority of
his own county-now succeeds in riding
down our people in violation of usage cs-
tablished ever since we were State; sue
cecds in rcpudiating that good faith which
has hitherto existed between the counties;
succeeds in wrestling from our people
their rights which the more intimate and
Immediate representation Of u representa-
tive taken from their midst, gives, fare
swell to Republican ascendency in this
county and district! Cumberland will
know where she Is, and York will know
where she is; one the superior, the other
the inferior; one born to command, the
other TO obey.
