You were the Presideiit of a meeting held at Great Bend on the Bth of January, ati4, signed the proceedings of the ineetiug, giving thereby the sanc tion of your high character. to those proceedings and making yourself responsible for the truth of the statpneuts therein contained. May I ask you to specify the acts done by the citizens of Montrose upon 'which you found the following assertion con tained in one of your resolutions " we arc impelled to this course of action by the .evident Jealousy on the part of- the inhabitants of Montrose and vicini ty, in respect to the present prosperity and per spective increase of population in the eastern part of the county as manifested by their indefatigable opposition to any and all internal improvement pro jects, calculated to yromote our own interests." I deny sir, the truth of this resolution entirely.— It is a gross slander upon " the knhabitants of Mon trose and vicinity." . So far from being Jealous of the prosperity of Gretit Bend or any other eastern town in the county they have endeavored to pro mote that prosperity. Had you enquired of some of the citizens of your own, town they could have informed you that the inhabitants of Montrose had been urged to turn the course of their Trade and travelling down snake creek to its mouth. That large incl i pcements had been held out to them -to lead them to that course, and that their reply had been," we are interested in the welfare of Great Bend and we prefer to give our trade and business to that Town rather than build -up a rival Town in New York" You know _that the level route down Snake Creek has very many advantages over the road across the hullo to Great Bend, and yet so solicitous were these game inhabitants of Montro-e to aid be their hu6i- nes, your own town of Great Bend that when a plank road was proposed to 1-p built to the New' York t Erie Railroad. and they were solicited. to lay it down Snake Creek, they utterly refused to bare any connection with the New York people in that direction, . h ecause of its injury to Great Bend- These are facts which some of your citizens are well aware. Will you do me the favor to Fpecity one instance in Which the inluihitante of Montrose have manifes ted any opposition to' any internal improvement. project calculated to benefit the ea:tern section of the county t I .ir,do deny in direct terms that any project ha. been attempted which they have oppos ed. • You are aware that laws were passed authoriz. lug Plank Roads to be built from 'Montrose, to the N. Y, .17 E, Railroad, aid you are yet to know that but fur the making of the Leggett's Gap Railroad. which comes within sit miles of Montrose, that the energies of the Town would before this hares been t directed towards the completion of that Plank Road. • It is true onr friends in Now Milferd were hos tile to that project unlciss it came by their town and ended there, and that some of them when it was probable the Plank Road'would be built, held out offers to the Montrose people to end their road at their Depot, and avoid Great Bend altogether; And it ie equally true that the Montrose people deanr ed that If they had to choose bete en Great Beiul and New Milford they-should go to the Bend, and for very obvious reasons, Ist. They could get to Urcat Bend in twelve miles and a half with only one Bridge to pass over . •.!d. That it would save m trans-shipmeut from the N. Y. & Erie to the Legget's 3d. That it would save threecmiles and a half in ..t distance, arid • 4th. That the people of Greatßend were mach more liberal in their offers of making the Road than they were at New billion). It is also true that when the Li4get's Gap Rail road was located it was rendered reasonably .cer tain that in three or funeyears it would, he extend ed to New York and the distance from Mentruse to that city be shortened by more than sixty miles.— When by an actual survey it was ascertained that s..Plarilr road could be laid at a distance not exceed. ing seven miles. on a grade of not more than three 1 degrees of elevation, that the citizens of M o ntrose determined to make tha.t. Plank road. They did not expect, and certainly did not merit any cei sure fur that course, and least of all from the citizens of the Eastern part of the county. Our object was to give better facilities to the cit zens of the Eastern part of the county to visit the seat of justice, and to give you an opportunity to come from Great Bend to the Court House in less that, an hour-without inconvenience or fatigue. I know very wkll that.our New Milford friends were desirous that our Plank Roid should termi nate at- their Depot and that we were urged to lo cate it there ; but as in their efforts to divert us from Great Beud we thought them very uureason able. . Ist. Because it would increase our distance three miles or nearly that. 2d. It would make us eix miles additional Rail road travellitig 3d, The greater portion of all the freights must at present come to us from the South, and fur Mont rose alone, about two thousand tons of coal will be required next year 4th. We should have no right to increase theMs tanee so much for all the county lying west of us which must seek an out-let by the Legget's Gap Railroad. • • In thus Judging, are we not in the right, and are not our New Milford friends eery unreasonable to desire sts to make three miles or Plank road and taw-el-six miles Of Railroad and Rut that addition al cost all the farmers ih . this region of Conn try, for the mere;' put pose of giying them the 'benefit of it trade at their depot I 5 .;-' • I know sir, yoU will give - an affirmative 'answer to this question, and so will over:) , intelligent man in the county. • .

Yours, A CITIZEN OF 151IONTILO5E. To tie Citizens of Susquehanna County Fellow CitLen.x—The undersigned, citizens of Montrose and vicinity, take the liberty of j Submitting, in Lida public manner, to your consideration, a few facts in which we in common with many of our fellow citizens - at this time feel a deep interest. You are aware that on effort is bein a made to remove the Seat of Justice from its pres ent location to New Milford, and that for a variety of causes this effort is most earnestly urged upon your consideration. So far as it is pressed fairly and honestly we have.no objection to raise. We admit the right of the e•entlemen in New Milfiml, who wish to increase the valve of their property, to u-c all lawful and proper means therefor. Ii they had confined theuisel% es to what seems to us a fair and honorable course, we should not trouble you nor ourselves with this ad dress. Our apology that the facts are misrepresented, and the character, acts, and motives of the citizens of Montrose, unwar rautahly assailed and aspersed fur ,the pur pose of forwarding the removal. The Seat of .Justice was established here • in 1812. Fur the purpose of aiding the coun ty in the erection of the public buildings, Messrs. Post, by their Deed dated the 24th 1 of July of that year, conveyed to the county , ten acres, of land ou which the public build- ines are erected: ten acres. which were di% i ded by the county into tern lots. and sold ; also forty-two town lots, located in various parts of the town, and of an average value equal to the remainll 4 .7, lots reser% cd by the Messrs. Posts. This I'eed is recorded in I )eed Book No. I. page u 7. The town plot showing the location of the lots is also re-" corded in the same hook. The lots thus con veyed to the county were all sold, and many of us have all our property invested in build , iug - s on these lots. That they were ialuable, a reference to only a few of them will con since you. No. -11, one of theta, is the lot on which Gen. Waruer's Hotel and 2Pdg - e Tyler's Store now stand. No. 45, antlher cf them, adjoining this. and the rEfSTrience of S. S. 'Mulford, is upon it. No's. F,4 and 83 are occupied by the dwellings of C. F. Read, J. B. Salisbury, Judge Tyler, Mr. Bullard and Mr. Deans. The ten acme lot is bound ed on the south by p line between the house and office of J udge JeSsup, and extended north tu. the Borough line. You can judge of thesvalue of these lands without any esti mate from us. The Deed to which we have thus referred, was, as therein expressed, made - for and in consideration of haring the seat of ja.s-tice for the county of Susquehanna yl - red and established near the house of the said Isaac Post." There was, at the same tiiite. a large subscription toward erecting the public buildings paid to the county, by the citizens of the vicinity. The late. Doctor hose, as we are credibly informed, gave one thousand dollars; Isaac Post. in addition to the land, gate two hundred dollars; wid nearly four thousand dollars in all, were, as we are ii.forined and believe, subscribed and paid in cash to the county. Col. Pickering conveyed one hundred acres of land near the ! town—the sarne in part now composes the i f arm of G..- f i. I /. D. Warner, on the New Mil . fold road. The late George Clymer convey ed updh the same consideration, one hundred acres adjoining the town. This lot is prig ! eipall v occupied,by Judge Jessup as his farm. I. The Methodist Church is on this lot. This I last lot, While in a wild state in 1812, was I sold by the cdunty to the late Judge Scott of Luzerne county, for one 'thousand dollars, and the money was all paid to the county. We hesitate not to assert, that the lands and money here contributed to the county were at a•fair valuation much more than silt"- f fictent to have: paid all the expenses of the ' public buildings erected by the county. Is there truth, then, in the assertion made by the meeting at Great Bend, " that the inhab itants of Susquehanna county have Wit one Court House and Jail at Montrose whereby the citizens of said village have been largely benetitted ?" NVe answer in the negative, and the records furnish us with the proof.— We affirm that the citizens of Montrose, and those who owned lands in the vicinity, have fur nearly thirty-five years furnished for the people of Susquehanna county it Court House. and Jail, and that if the lamb thus conveyed to the county had been properly managed, there. would now have been a fund sufficient nearly to rebuild all the public buildings. We are well assured that of these facts our highly respected and respectable fellow citi• zees who composed the Bth of January meet - ing at Great Bend, must have been entirely ignorant. We could not !impute -to them any intentional misrepresentation upon this subject. The character and high reputation for probity which many of them sustain, for bids us to entertain any suchi.,supposition.— At this point -then, feilow4itizens, we pre sent to youi consideration this case : - The Sat of sustio3 for.common use, Was- located here. As ais.inducenseut 0 you to place it here, Messrs. Posts gave pail forty-two town lots and ten aeres of land / which you divided into ten 'lots and sold torus 7. The' . value :of thesaltfiy 7 twolots which yoic Ott , tis ari ses from Se" location Cotinty Seat. here; and that value his beek paid by some of us into the co ff ers of the county in faith of this location. You have for more_ than thirty years bed the Use of the money we thus paid you for these lots, and noW we ask, would it be just in-you, for the purpose ii of getting more rnoney,,to deprive us of that for which we have gi n you• a fair and fill! tionsiderationl ' We must" fur admit, that if there were any great pu c object to be accomplished, au l proper Compensation were made, we might properly be called upon to yield our just claims to the higher demands of the public. But we appeal to your good sense. fellow-citizens, to determine whether any such overwhelming necessity exists for the remo val of the Seat of Justice to New. Milford. Montrose, as you are well aware, is nearly in the geographical centre of the county.—_ There is little difference in the quality of soil in the different portions of the coupty. There is nearly the same ammigat of population west of Montrose, includine. 13ridgewater, as east of it. The location of the roads, most of which are in good. order, give, as you are well aware, eToater far ities fog reaching ,Montrose than for reaching 'any other place in the coil iitv. for do we fe A, fellow-citizens, that. we aro justly chargable with any disre e.ard of the oblie•atiotrs. we are under to con sult your comfort when in the discharge of your duties you sojourn among 'us. . Our public houses, we believe, are, as well order ed, as convenient, and as well provided as the public wishes require. Neith.kr do we feel that as private citizens we are lacking in hos pitality to you, when - upon public, occasion s y_ou make us an occasional visit_ \V have endeavored to make our town. pleasant. as well for your use;as our own.-- Ilow far we have succeeded You will deter 'Mee. We have supposed it was a conve nience to the public who were called upon to x isit frequently the County Seat to have col lected there a large number of merchants, tneelianics of various kinds, mill. and other means of public utility, and we are assured that you w ill decide that in all these park:. ulars we ()tir you much better advant - e s X than can be elsewhere a ff orded at. the -s -ent time in the county. Another considera tion which we also suggest, is, that in conse quence of the location of the roads, mail routes connectine• directly nearly every town ship in the county With this place are ostaLe lished, and upon many of them daily mails ar3 carried. Not less than six mails from various parts of the county, upon an'average, are delivered at our Postotlice. In addition to this, one of the principal lines of 'r e le ,raph, connecting the great West with the East and the south, has at a heavy expense to the citizens of this place been recently (es tablished here. In the convenience and im portant advantages derived from this source of speedy communication, you share, without g7ini:ing on our part, equally with us. It is true,.feikw 'citizens, and we freely ad •mit the fact, that your patronage and busi ness have largely contributed to make our town what it is; and while we rieknowledesi this, we must be permitted to claim that it has beep our aim so to serve you Jet to make the obligations uilider which we rest, mutual. If in ,this we Irave failed, it is 6tir misfortune - , certainly not the result of any design on our part. . And nosy, we should close this Address were it not a manifest obligation on our part to deny in express terms, some of tho wrong ItirNitHlS Cast upon us by the resolutions Q t . th e Great Bend meeting. We explicitly deny any "jealousy in in spect to the present prosperity and prospect ive population in the eastern 'part, of the county." : We deny that the people of Mont rose have ever "manifested their indefatiga ble opposition to any and all internal: im provement projects calculated to promote the interests" of the respectable gentlemen 'who held that meeting. We again say, that there is not to be found any evidence of even the shadow of any hostility. ,We re,gret ;that our friends who held that meeting had not exercised a little more reflection: before so' broad and unfounded a charge was- laid up on this community. We now feel—we have always felt—l-that with the prosperity of the county our own prosperity was identified ; and if we have not done all we could, or been so public spitited as we might have been, still we challenge a comparison our fellow citizens in any other part. of the county, and most willingly submit 6UrSOVCS to your unprejudiced judgment in this a'S in every matter. We profess to be willing to bear our full share or the public burthens. More ithan this . , we feel ms:ured, you will not demand at our .hands. Should the proper, authOrities i deem it proper to rebuild the public build ings, we are entirely willing to bear our full share, and if it could be fairly ascertained. I we should not hesitate . to submit to our fel low eitizenis to'decide what we ought to do. We know the great mass of them are lovers of justice and would do no wrong. The judgment of that tribunal upon a fair hear of the case, it would he impossible to oh 6in and as our friends in New Milford are making an appeal to the Legislature, ye are perfectly - willing to submit the' whole ves tion to them, and to petition that Honorable Body to authorize such a -tax to be upon us for yebuilding!the Court liouse, Jail and Offices as they M their wisdom may deem proper.
