On motion, a committee of twenty was appointed

ting, consisting of the following persons, viz:

mer, Esq., George Hartley, Wm. E. M'Murtrie,

thew Crownover, Abner Isenhour, A. W. Benedict,
Earl., James McCabe, George Glazier, Jacob Africa,
Samuel Grafius, J. S. Stewart, Esq. Henry Corn
probs t.
After retiring a short time, made the following
report. In the absence of the committee, the mee
ting was ably and forcibly addressed by Isaac
Fisher, Esq.
Whereas a bill has been reported and is now be
fore the Legislature for the erection of a new county
from parts of the counties of Huntingdon and Bed
ford, and whereas such dismemberment of the two
counties should only be made when the public good
iequires it, and after a proper and careful examina
tion by the citizens of those counties, into the merits
of the proposed division of them; and whereas, it
is believed that any and all divisions of counties,
should only be sanctioned or permitted when the
benefits resulting therefrom shall be of a Public,'
iinstead of a Private nature ; and whereas, it is '
.deemed to be the duty of every citizen of every
county in our State, to lift up his voice against all
the proposed divisions of all coenties, when there
can be no important advantages' produced to the
many, so it is much more the duty of citizens of
sny county, which may be the proposed victim to
the system of private speculative Legislation to ask,
end demand that they be heard, before a county of
which they have just cause to be proud, shall be
severed; and whereas, it is believed that there are
other and far greater considerations which demand
the attention of our Legislators, than the apparent
pecuniary benefits derived by one party, or lost by
the ether. Therefore, this method has been adop
ted, to lay before your honorable bodies the argu
ments or inducements for the division of Hunting
don, and a brief examination of their merits.—
While all must freely and honestly admit, that
naturally selfish as is the heart of man, the imme
diate interests of all, of the petitioners for, as well
so the remonstrants against this proposed division,
are tee much the governing motive. For such is
the natural tendency of the mind of man, that any
measure which proffers advantage to one, and a
corresponding injury to another,excites in each the
same desire, and neither can be supposed to be un
prejudiced judges of the real merits of that measure.
To other 'winces, and for other motives should the
Legislator look before he acts upon questions more
44 less, affecting the interests of every citizen of our
State.
The remonstrants against division allege that
individual speculation is the moving cause of the
demand for this division.
The petitioners for it reply, that the property
holders around the old seat of justice are opposed to
the division, because their property and interests
may suffer. Both positions in the main are true,
and thus far arguments are balanced, with a alight
exception—the former have acquired by their in
dustry and economy, property at a permanent and
unchanging price; and they asked to be allowed to
keep, as much in value as they have earned, arid
that no Legislative enactment shall reduce it.—
While the latter may have obtained theirs in the same
way, they seek to have its value increased by the
same power, to enrich them. Or in other words,
they desire the alchemy of Legislation, not only to
transmute their stones into gold, but the gold of
their neighbors into stones; an exception which
does not make the parties precisely alike in the result
of their motives.
The petitioners for division, say again, that the
great accumulation of business upon the Docket of
our Courts renders it almost impossible that parties
' can have their suits tried or terminated, until worn
out and impoverished by the travel and costs in
attending " term after term without accomplishing
their business." The remonstrants reply, if such
be indeed the truth, can it be possible that the Leg
islative wisdom of our State will say that the reme
• dy for such an evil, can only be found in the ever
tion of new counties? It would first be necessary
to clearly demonstrate that large counties always
pro4;)ce such a state of things. An evil result can
• only he removed or guarded against, by the removal
of its cause ; and if the size of the county be not
!the cause, how will the reduction of its size, remove
'an evil that had its origin in another and very dif
ferent cause. Will the Representatives from the
counties of Burke. Lancaster, Westmoreland, Ches
ter, and Montgomery and others, assume a position
so untenable and declare by their votes that the
• very respectable size of those counties is a reason
why they should be divided. If then the size of a
county cannot be shown to be the cause that the busi
ness of our courts is not kept up, your honorable
bodies will seek elsewhere for the cause, and re
'move it by some other remedy.
Again they say " the larger portion of this court
business is from the upper end now asking for a
slivision." It is answered, this may be admitted to
to true, in a division where more than ono half of
the old county, both in wealth and population, is
o ncluded in the new, without producing any argu
ment for division. Because in every such division,
the same fact will be self-evident. Or will the
Legislature declare that because circumstances for a
lime may produce a large amount of litigation in
pie end of any county, that therefore that county
'tumid be divided, and the quiet and peaceable cili
aen be made the victim of the:litigious.
t, Again it le argued that the distance that the pee •
de of the upper end have to travel to attend their
courts is a reason why a new county should be
created. And we reply. Will the Legislature
declare this a sufficient cause for the division of a
county. Because the inhabitants of four or five
townithips live at a distance of from 24 to 82 miles
from the seat of Justice, shall this be considered a
cause for dividing a county? If so, what large
county in our State does not require division? But
it may basked, does this proposed division pro
duce anii e grpater equality among the people as to
their di once from their seats of Justice? The
person acquainted .with the Geography of this coun
ty will see at once that the citizens of the townships
of Snyder, Warnorsmark and Franklin, if included
in the new county, and part of Tyrone, will have
farther to travel to reach the seat of Justice of the
proposed new county than they now have, and some
of them must make a journey of miles through the
old county to reach the new seat. While the lower
end townships will be subject to a still greater
seeming injustice. Some of them, now farther
from the seat of justice than any of those at the
upper end, will have to come within a few miles of
the county line to attend their court. If such an
argument deserve consideration, how will it affect
the counties of Columbia, Northumberland, Mont
gomery, Erie, Monroe, and others, the county seats
of which ay nearly upon the county lines. The
inequality being much greater in those counties
than in this ; independent of the fact that they have
not the convenience of the Public Improvements
for conveyance from thetr distant totVhships to their
seats of justice.
But it is argued that the proposed limits of the
new county includes a large amount of wealth,
agricultural and manufacturing, and therefore a di
vision should be made. It may be, the remonstrants
admit, and undoubtedly is true, but this fact arises
from the impoverishment of the two counties of Hunt
ingdon and Bedford; and the same argument would
apply to the erection of any new county from the
wealthy portions of any two largo and important
counties; and the argument is unworthy conside
r ration.
The above arguments so zealously urged in sup
port of a division of this county, are addressed to
the selfishness of the people, and are not of that
general nature which commend themselves to the
mind of the Legislator as producing any general
good ; and if none such can be found the division
should be rejected at once. But are there not con
siderations of a nature, affecting every citizen which
weigh with ten fold weight against not only this,
but against all divisions of any counties.
Every new county, it might be said, nearly dou
bles the county rates and levies of the citizens of
the old and new county. Taxation is already "a
burthen grevious to be borne—and this spirit, if
encouraged, will finally reach most of our citizens
of the State with its increased taxes. When and
where will it end? The time will soon be here, if
not already, when the sessions of your honorable
bodies will be consumed, in strifes about new coun
ties. The petitioners for each contending that theirs
is the ease, the peculiar circumstances or localities
of which make it an exception ; and it will finally
result in the dismemberment of every county,
for which the citizens thereof now feel a commen
dable pride, when they point to its rescourses, its in
fluence and importance. Counties claim from their
sister counties a character for importance, as much
as States from their sister States, or nations from the
family of nations; nor is their influence always
hemmed in by their State lines. " Old Berko" stands
compa-atively as proudly above little " Elk" and
"Carbon" as our great Republic does above those
of Paragon or Urugua. And why Is it so: small
counties are of small importance in every point of
view. They have a moil voice in the halls of la
gislation—a small territory, they make small Judges
and small Lawyers—for theirs is a small business;
and the only characteristic, by which they are re
membered is their utter insignificance.
Nor are these the only disadvantages. So small
in territory, each citizen is the other's neighbor—
each knows his neighbor's business, and the juries
t ;re selected from among those who have heard, ar
gued, and discussed the supposed merits or demer
its of every cause of any importance, if it should
so ha; pen that suet, a see swum one its way into
their courts; and though their integrity be undoubt
ed, mint.' once enlisted and biassed cannot possibly
go into the jury box unprejudiced ; and that boast
ed security of our rights is but a by word.
While en the contrary the large counties main
tain a high position, owing to their importance, in
consideration u f their wealth and the number of
their inhabitants and the minds of their juries is
untarnished by the jaundice of already expressed
opinions.
In conclusion, it is urged upon the consideration
of the Legislature, the importance of applying to
the evil most complained of—the accumulation of
business upon the Dockets of our courts, the reme
dy which has proved so effect ual in the large coun
ties of the State, viz : a Judic:ary adequate to the
amount of business. Circumstances not produced
by the size of our county, have clOsed the halls of
our courts for several Terms during the past three
or four years, and business has thus Ih -cumulated,
which however, the labors of a District Court for
ono year or two at most, would effectually dispose
of at a trifling expense, that would willingly be
borne by the county of Huntingdon. And while a
division may be earnestly sought by some, it is con
tended it should not be granted, unless the will of
the counties proposed to be severed, require it; and
that will cannot be ascertained by petition, for too
often " the graves give up their dead," and the in
genius penman calls up " spirits from the vasty
deep," who have neither " a habitation or a name"
—to groan out imaginary wrongs and pray for Le
gislative remedy. Let the voice of the people be
heard, and their decree will be submitted,to without
murmur.
The Legislature is then earnestly entreated to
arrest at once this spit it which is so rife in our State,
of cutting up and destroying the large and import
ant counties. They have a name and a reputation
they desire to retain. If it be permitted to go on,
th 1 enquiry is not an unimportant one—
