or and cstntcs arc thus relied upon to
consummate the Division authorized.
The exact tcrmt in whieh the respective I
eetiritioa are made, are thus laid before ;
the people ample time is given for them
to reflect upon the best location, to con-1
Nit, and to net intelligently in arriving :
at a wise decision aua the trptusc in
epreading before them the important in
formation, will be boruc equally by pay

U.vion Cocstv.
It will be seen that there ure but firo
competitors in Union eoutty-LEWisnrnG
and MtFFLlNiatto. The former ptiaran
tecs Fifty Thousaud Dollars, (by men
abundantly able to meet it,) that there j
shall be no county tax for grounds and !
buildings, in case their town is selected i
for the County Seat ; and they would be j
willing to pay it, iu good faith, for the
present and prospective advantages they j
he subscription j
r 815,000, bat '
would thereby receive. Hi
it will be seen is yet under
it has been circulated by oue person only,
and many in Town and Country, wbi are
willing aud auxious to contribute to the
fund, have not yet been called upon. It
is to be hoped the subscription will be
filled to 5-0 r f::0,000 at once, as near
tho latter sum will be required to ereet.on
the best location, tasty, coinmodiouSjSolid,
permanent buiidinos, superior to any in
tho center of the State, satisfactory to all
concerned, and that shall not need repairs
in a long time.
Mifiliuburg also guarantee. , !n the sum
of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars, the
same exoneration of the people generally
and is therefore eligible for the trial.
Her subscription is liberal, and the sign
ers of the guarantee are responsible for the
amount.
So far as Cnion county is concerned, it
is a "fair fight" two competitors, each
deliberately prepared. Tho People will
decido between them. ...and if they soy
Miffliuburg, why then Lewislurg will save
her money and make use of it in some
other way that will "pay" equally well.
S.NYDEH County.
The vote in this new county is to bodi
Tidcd between tnrcc towns, according to
present appearances, and "the place hav
ing the greatest number of voles" (wheth
er majority uf ail or not) is to be the
county seat.
SELINSOHOVE is guaranteed in Twenty
Thousand Dollars, ami a princely subscip-
tion (not complete) to lack it. I item of county expenses-, ami com 1 noi oe

Legality of the SunrmrTioN3.
In relation to tho pipers from Lewis
burg, Mifflinburg, Selinsgrove, and Free
burg, we do not think there is any ques
tion but they hare come fully up to Ihe
letter and spirit of the Law under which
they are framed. Tiie eligibility of MidJfe
bury bowcver,is called ill question in vari
ous quarters. In considering l he matter, i
it will be well at onec to retur I the S I
and 4th section of the Aet, and ascertain j
its precise terms. They read thus : I

Tho 3d and 4th sections evidently go
together, and must be considered as relat
ing to one thing. The 3d says, expressly,
that "suitable grounds aud buildings f-HALL

bles," 4c. pec. 4tjj furlj.r gj, rriAT
TO 6ECra the conditions" of tho 3d sec
tion, there must be "pledged to the Judg.

than Ten Thousand Dollar, from Ki,hU

lire-proof roofs aui liie-jiroof rooms for re
cortls," and "saiJ sultsicriritions shall be
vpprovcH by euhl Jmlyts," publis!ied,ic.
It will be seen that the 3d section rc
qutree absuhtle tci-urirg to the tax-payers,
and in the 4th names Ten Thousaud as
the Uat sum to be pledged by the lit of,
May, for Grounds, Buildings.Court House, I
Jail, Offices, all Fire -Proof roofs and Fire-
l'lOuf rooms for records. The Middleliurg
pip.tr makes no security fr guarding
against taxation pxcept in the sum ofSlO,
00'J. If Midillelurg should b.t choseti and
the buildings &a. cost over 10,000 the
citizens of the whole county are "in' for
the balance and have 110 remedy but to

Tho "said j
