by fully three fourths of the citizens
and voters of Fulton county.
3d-That said act does not represent
the sentiment of the people and voters
OF Fulton county; that said-act was un-
warranted, unjust ADD unfair, aud that

Said act would also create endless con-
fusion. and unreasonable inconyenience
ADD trouble VIII certainly follow should
said act be attempted TO be put into
force and etfeSks
4th-Thabsafd act was originated bv
few designing individuals of the town
OF Fulton, for their own selfish benefit,
and that the aforenamed advocates OF
said bill did knowingly and wilfully
make false statements before the com
mlttee to whom said bin was referred,
thus mis- leading sand committee as to
the true sentiment and desires of the
greater majority of the voters and citi-
zens of Fulton county
5th~-9hat the nletubers IF the house

through their partisan eagerneSs to rail-
road said bill through the house and
senate before the true sentiment of the
greater majority of the citizens and vot

known TO the members at large of the
said house and senate; that we most
emphatically condemn the said Hargroye
and said George for unfairly aiding ia
the passage OF said act. and in not per-
hitting the opponents of said act time
III which To Introduce and offer evil
deuce, so that said house and senate
might know the will of a majority of
tas people of Fulton county in regard
TO this act. And further. that at the
time OF the passage of this act said Har-
grove and said George had every reason
to believe, and did know. that the ma
jority of the voters of Fulton county
did oppose and object TO the passage of
said act
6th-Ihat we again most emphatic
ally condemn Representative Hargroye
and Senator George for aiding in pre-
venting and obstructing the admission
of evidence before said committee, as
the said Hargrove and said George,
fearing the true facts and sentiment of
the people of Fulton county becoming
known TO the members of the house and
senate, that their act. or bill, might be
defeated.
7th-That while Te have no conf.
dence of said act ever being put in
force, we deplore the unwise attempt
that may ever be made TO do so; and
stand ready at all times to lend all aid
