THE COUNTY SEAT ONCE MORE


We know of no more fruitless and unprnit.
able task than the conduct of a controversy
where facts have been lost sight of and the
conceptions of pure imagination are made to
take their place. The great object of all dis.
cussiOn should DO to involve the truth, and
when that is sought to be evaded no good pur.
pose can be longer attained by further debate.
If one of the disputants about tho correctness
of problem in mathematics deny that two
and two make four. or that the sum of the
parts equal the whole or If il be a question
in astronomy touching the Office of the sun,
it be denied that there is any such thing as n
sun. We do not see who is TO be benefited by
the prosecution of dispute in which such
plain and essential truth. arc wholly ignored.
Nobody ever would suppose in such a case
that the sum of his knowledge of either
mathematics or astronomy would be increased
aud hence every body would turn away from
snch a senscless and PurPouseless wrangle.
We have recently had brought to our at
tention the subject of the removal If the
county sea, from Shephe' dstoVn to charles.
tOwn-a subject OF deep interest to the people
of the county, and one that should be ex>
amined in the light of all the facts tha, per-
tain to it, and decided by the rules of right
and justice. The only objection to the pro-
posed movement which has any force in it. is
the cost involved in it and the impolicy Of
adding at this time to the heavy taxation to
which the people of the county are now sub.
jected-and which it is alleged they are un,
willing to increase. The whole opposition, as
we understand it, is based upon this idea
The friends ofthe measure of removal, in order
to show that the sum needed for the restora>
ton Of the necessary public buildings at
CharlestOwn will be but small, and will be
scarcely felt by the taxpayers of the county
and certainly ought not for a moment to be
considered in comparison with the advantages
to be gained by the change OF the county seat
aver what every body who has eyes and
chooses to use them sees to be true. that the
old court house rails are still sI0ndin1 aud
the opinion is entertained that they are firm
and strong enough to support the reconstructed
building In the face of this known visible

ing the coun'y-seat to Charle>town will reach
the fabulous amount of SO 900 says, as one Of
the reasons of such conclusion, 1.-THE old walls
Cofthe court houSe) have crumbIed away. and
fallen HO'rH through the effects of years of ex
posture to winds ani rains, until now they are
but mass of debris unfit for any practical
purpose whatever"
Can controversy on this subject be con.
Quoted with pre- fit to any body. and with any
hope to reach the truth where statements so
reckless as this are made to influence so unjust
ly and so unfairly the project and action Of
the people in matter of such great import
ance as this is?
