The i2500 Approprlutiou.
The laat Danville Intelligencer cornea
io ua with an article on the above subject
which ia substantially e repetition of the
Itemonstrancc, the errora o which we ex
noaed in our DaDer two weeks since. It is
a rehash of ihe aamo ideas, with the excep
i i
iinn nf a lew statements that spnear fresh
from the mint, but sre no wliit moie impor
tanl than iheir predecessors.
The act before the Legislature is given
but the preamble 'which accompanies and
explains il, is omitted. . The recital of the
reasons fjr the act, in ihe pieamblo, woulii
enable the reader to iindeistsud the subject
more fully ; and hence, for purposes of wis
representation, il must be omitted!
The attempi to create prejudice by main
uatini that Ihe act was Urawn in this coun
iy and enl lo Ilarricburg, may ee a mas
terpiece of argument, but il happens unfor
tunaieW to be entirely untrue.
The oinl ol the charge lhat tlita petition
or memorial lo the I.egtalature, was 'quiet
cretand extraordinary,' il will be very
difficult to perceive:
'He must have optica aharp I ween,
Who sees what is not lo be seen.'
Is il noi rather a novel mode of keeping
a petition 'seciei'to lay il before a Urainl
Jury, gatheied from all parts ul mo couuty

'i'lie suggestion that this proposal be sub

The reference to an old handbill signed
by gentlemen now on the building commit
tee, gives pari only of the truth. Let it.
be remembered lhat that was btfure il wae
proposed 'ituially to give away the obi
buildings and lots lo Mahoning. Now if
our neifhbois will agree that the ptocecd
of the sale of the old buildings and lots thai
go into the county treasury, and (only $2
500 ihereol) be appied lo extra woik and
for fuiniahing the new buildings, there will
be no difficulty, not the least? But we im

The strir.ging together nf a ei ries of de

We repeat thai atl the pledges, promine

and all the obligation of the removal act
have been more than met by individual sub

this appropriation is to be applied are re

Jividuals.of romplianre with the require

We bad supposed lhat the Editor of the
Danville Intelligencer had heretofore re
ceived a sufficient lebuke from the people
of the couniy for (his ; personal and ungen
tlemanlj attacks upon individuals, for self
ish ends, to induce'hfm to c have been more
