Look at the map ard SEQ the array Of ilustrlous
names conferred upon the differen. townships:
Adams-the old man eloquent: Eui-prerog-
alive OF kingly power; Fieeci0n.--who does not
love it Oilhtr--,he land OF ivy, apes and pea
eeeks; i'ughter1 Troy GyOpe-the Siege OF
1tey ana the strStacen Of the wooden horse ;
Ua6d-"No pent up Utica contracts our powers
but the whole boundless continent is ours; ;"
hden-the birthplace Of man; Hope-the sheet
anchor of mortality; ANen-the hero of Revo-
luton lame: WaNpce-"Scots whe h. W Wal
lace b!ed;" applause and lastly, MoEoN1-
graEder, mightier-a SAINT that from "sutr-'lon
to generation stands above, aud throGs al time
to come shall eclipse them all. lApplause and
laughter.
Crotty followed: "There is person Il mat
ter between the town of Manlius and Nr. Miller
and though now settled, he feared that tGe latter
still feels like revenge towards my town. Our
opposition TO this division rests on several good
and sufficient grounds. 1t is proposed to take
from u Al! our arabo or tiilable ! nd aud mar.
row us down into iusi gnifcaut space We
shall be Obliged to construct roads and keep them
in repair for the citizens Of the new town, who
would constantly use them ard wear them out
and be freed from the payment Of a dollar OF
taxes. There is also n poiIliaal point in this
affair. Seneca, in A.inlils, is their market town.
By cutting Seuejl of f. small corner they
can thus free thens1lygs FROM .rr 'e-4 which we
now Justly bear in common.
~ Am as proud as Miller of tho Jnagnficent
array of names given TO our town, Dut | doubt
whether the name Of Mormon saint would
honor the other towns or please the people Of
La Sale county. Don't believe many Of our
supervisors endorse 1t or sustain Mormon.

He thought the people in his neighborhood

Geo. W Armstrong review i tie subject At
length. He called upon the clerk to read re-
mon.,rance from Brookiels against this division.
This, Mr.. A. said, Is backed ty 200 names II
Manlius be reduced t. te. sectiou,, she Will en-.
crouch upon Brookfeld, and the lines broken
where will this all end ?
The people north Of Seneca use her roads and
pay nothing. Compelling Us to give Manlius a
section south OF Seuec. would place Us in the
sams Nc u,t position IS to that then unfortunate
town. We now work net only our own roads
south 0! aud % SeLeca, but between Seneca and
the river on the north side. ! believe the wrongs
complained OF BY the per,ri)nersare more imag.
n IcaI. lou all know tNdt rO.Q funds
raise IN Incorporated towns aud cities cannot be
= In those towns aud cities. This fund al
says goes 70 the country roads. The town Of
MarseiI.es has paid IO-d taxes for ~ years and
never got back dollar and the moment they
tried 10 break down the hills these verv msu,
the petitioners, made tds- about flowing them
any part OF the road funds. A bill is before the
Legislature which, or -gmeth!ng ike it. will be-
come 3 Law, and which will settle the school
question ALLUDED 10 by Mr.. Wichwise.
