HARD LYING.

Mr.. EDIToR;-I notice in the Middlelown
Transcript Of the 18th inst, a communication
signed 99, in which he appeals to the property
holders OF st. Georges Hundred TO send letters to
our Hon Senate, OIjeeung 10 the extension OF
the boundaries OF Red Lion Hundred. Now, Sir
Il Mr.. 80 has ever read the Commandments, he
should at least remember the ninth, "ThOu shalt
not bare falec witness against thy ncghbor," aud
II he has any honesty or candor, he would not
promulgate wilrul untruth. In his communica-
ton he states that an 'aitemptis being made to
extend the boundaries OF Red Lion Hundred so
as TO include one school district in our hundred.
Now, this full complete and groundless false
hood. No such attempt is being made, nor sug-
gested, but as We presume that 99's ability in de-
bate consist; OF hard lying, we will in charity
deal gently with his present yarn, and only place
in its true light the subject he earnestly seeks
TO misreprescnt
The boundary line between Red Lion and ST.
Georges Hundreds passes almost through the
centre of the town Of st. Georges, leaving one
part of the town in Red Lion Hundred, and the
other part in st. Georges Hundred, the citizens
thereof being obliged TO have voting precinct
situated in their own town and to 60 to Odessa, |
distance Of seven miles, TO vote Now these cti- |
zens have petitioncd to the General Assembly TO
extend the boundary line so as to include that |
small portion OF School District, No. %, lying Ia
st. Georges Hundred. containing only about one |
fourth of the district (thc other three fouTths be-
ing in Red Lion Hundred by the present boun
daryl and not one district of our hundred, as
stated by 90 and further the citizens of this part
OF the district arc unanimous in their appeal for
the change, which is by all honest and fair mind
ed men, conceded TO be just and necessary
measure. We submit that it is Unfair and dis
honorable TO strive to prejudice the minds Of the
citizens of st. Georges Hundred and Of the Hon.
Senators of our Assembly, by the false and gar
bled statement that appears in Sgs communica-
lion, and If any person feeling interested in the
subject will refer TO the map OF New Castle Coun-
~ they will find that 30 has made assertions in
that communication that are entirely foreign TO
fair dealing or truth.
Now, all of this stuff about loss of revenue
whole hundreds, &c, is all sheer nonsense. 1t is
only a trap TO deceive the unwary and more hon
orable of the citizens, 10 whom he dare not to
unfold the real ground Of the objections, and TO
insure their opposition to the proposed measures
The prime movers of this opposition have sound
st the key note, if their objections TO all, TO
whom they dare TO risk their reasons, and cur
citizens are fully acquainted with them, and in
uture have resolved to act accordingly. We are
willing and anxious, that our case should be fully
md fairly investigated and thoroughly ventilated
~ o Committee ofthc Senate aud we are ready to
meet Mr.. 90, aud his associates in discussion OF
he subject before such a committee and let the !
acts OF the influence the minds OF our Sena.
ors, but we should deprecate those individual q
etters, that may he written by persons, who may :
lave drawn their conclusions from 9ys communi-
alton. GOLDEN RULE.
