THE COUSTY, PKISTIXO. .
Tie Jlrpvltican, in it issue of tlie
13lb inst , devotes a loug article to the
defeuce of Senator Crawf ird and es
Representativc Rolirer, for tbe violation
of the wishes of die people of tit id coun
ty, irrespective of party, in not repealing
tbe act relative to County Priniinjf.

these very honorable geullenien. What
impudence fir the management of that
paper to talk about truth and justice.
It speaks of the oiiin of tlie act.
I be people do not caie a tig fur its ori
gin; what they want, is its repeal, so
that tbe expeii-eg of the county may be
reduced, and tbe private interests of ex
it-cut rs, administrators and all interested
iu ll.e i-culcment oi' estates respected
It cliuig'-s us villi the responsibility rd
tbe defeat of the repeal of the act, and
to prove the charge, it alleges ibat. we, in
company wi.h il II Vihmi. went to
Ilariisburg to lobby against the repeal
To which we ay that we took uo part
for or against the repeal of tbe act, be
lievinz that tlie honorable Senator and
t)C hnnoinble Representative would heed
tlie voice of the people and repeal it.
We utvir iviut with II. II. Wilson or
any o:hcr man or men to Harrisbiirg to
lobby for or .-isi'nst tbe act. and we have
no r collection of feeing Wilson at Har-ri-burir
durii-z the session cf tbe Legis-
latum of 1S71
It is not understood why lobbying
jshnuld be done, for the case was solely
' in the keeping of the honorable Senator
'and tbe hntiora'. !e I'cpicscntanve, and
' without their connivance or consent f i
' not bo readied by intlivUiuU in the
lobby, fi.t m n.bci's outside of tbe district ;
