The taxpayers here will oppose it because
the new Court House and Jail Bonds are
to be met at maturity, land the interest
Permit ysU to cvadc your portion of the
dett. 4 very large number of our people
viii oppose it because they are against any
separation or division on general principles,
and you will not find enc man in twenty in

You VII also be opposed from other sec
tons Of the STATE, 2nd particularly from the
little lower counties because of jealousy
and political interests. They object to Civ

rcscntaion in the Legislature. The simple
formation Of your new county would give
a State Senator ard one delegate more
than the present approximation from this
section, and as your region of country is
increasing 50 rapidly in population, 1t the
next apportionmcnt YOU would undoubtedly
gain two more new members to the House.

counties would he in danger Cf losing
control OF the State Legislature which they
have so long usuIDcd. And, also, by Il re
cent issue Of the Baltimore Fun, | notice

you.

here ii will likely he stranglcd, unless
your people make horculcan cfo!ts to have
it favorahly acted upon.
do rot state this to discourage TIE pro-

YOU some of the foes to the measure, thai
when YOU 90 to battle YOU may he pre-
pared to meet thcm. Your proposed new
county contains far more wealth, louh,C
the population, and cs great an area as
