TO THE VOTERS OF COLUMBIA

Fbli.w Citizens:-. That the County
of Colnmhii, retaining its prfsenu limits'
should hsve it seat of Justice st the centre,
is a proptwiiion.thai n'j one, unless blinded
4iy self intftest, will deny. By such loca
linn, the current expenses of the county
-will necessarily, be lessened, and the con.
rnienr.e of th ciliiens promoted. By the
provisions of the present bill too.this desir
able object is accomplished without serious
expense to those who fe unwilling to con
tribute, ad the measure therefore, stands
befure you snipped of all just objection, aad
irresisubly inviting your approval and sup
port.
'f nal vou roig'it be enabled to txpress

F'ir 33 years ever sinee the county

to be. paid fox by taxation upon the peoplt
f the county, I he proposition ws sub
milted to the Grand Jury, pursuant to hr
lOih section of the act of Assembly of I5il.
April 1 83 1. relating to counties ,uw"
hips, which requires, among other thlng,-
the approbation of two successive Grind
furies, to authorize the county Commis
doners lo put in new bindings. One grand
jury gave its approbation; the next one dis-j
pproved, and a third one approved. Sn
there were two reports in favor, and om
gainst the proposition. The reports in
vor however, not hsving been made by
two successive' grand juries.as required b
ihe act of Assembly, the buildings could no
e erected, and public attention being aroused
to the matter, no Graud Jury since hat
been willing to consent to tax the penpli
to erect new Si expensive buildings at Dan
ille upon the edge of the county. Dm,
these proceedings prove, that as far back
as 1837, there was a general impression
that new buildings were necessary, and the
proposition to erect them only failed be.
oause of the place wheie there they were
proposed to be situate. The proposition
has stood, as it were, in abeyance from
that time to this, awaiting the determination
of the Rem oval Question. If the votes

Danville eight yeais ago attempted to fasten

of the present old ones upon the border,
and settle forever all local difficulties in the
county. Can any one then, having the good
of the county St the convenience of its citi

the seat of justice ,and as a necessary con
