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

Would il not be well for these stickler.

rv was draw n by the Comiuinsioners, cou.d
inly onginato in ihe mind of about the
meanest man living, and it is as uuworth
.if i.oiice as it is dsinrdly in cluracur.
'i'lie suggestion that this proposal be sub
.nitted lo a vote, is somewhat remarkable
IVe had thought that our aeighboi had goi

voters out, and a dtci6iur: at the October one
is impracticable, as tha Buildings aie to be

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
agine that they will hold nn to all they can
gel and thai there is r.nl ihe uligliiest dan

The strir.ging together nf a ei ries of de
clarstinris hereiofore made by oursclf and

We repeat thai atl the pledges, promine
sayings and declaration? of Removal men,
and all the obligation of the removal act
have been more than met by individual sub
scripiion' that none of ihe mailers lo w hich
this appropriation is to be applied are re

this srray of declarations on the pan of in-
Jividuals.of romplianre with the require
ments of that acl, has nothing in ihe w orld
to do with the appropiiatinn" proposed.
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

tiava not bad the effect to curb the irrasci

U its splenetic feelings towards others
whenever their acts do not square with his
notions or inlercsts.or that of a few wnond

However honesl, honorable, or praisewor
ihy ihey may bo whether in their piivate

have been led lo these tematke by noticing
some articles in his last weeks paper,
