It had the dealt ed effect, foi ou Monday morning the liera! d said "the old basin or park." When* in the name of God the "park" is that Wilmington pledges l do not know. Is it the rocky hill-side and swamp bor dering on Brandywine creek or "gut ?" The llerald says in locating in the Park 5 ou should look not at what it is but at what it may become. Then, Mr. llerald , your meaning is that the court-house should he taken from New Castle, a town situated oil the Delaware river, one of finest rivers of the world, where the iron business is rapidly developing, and mil lions of eyes aie turning towards that spot (New Castle) as the future location ol the great iron ship yards of the world. And then, Mr. Herald , to tear away ti e court-house from that p'ace and locate it along a puny sucker branch called the Brandywine ; and as the Herald admits it is six hundred yards or one-third of a mile fiom the old basin, or three-quarters of a mile from the railroad depot, and a two mine line of street cirs that not one tenth of the people could g**t in on inorn i»gs in court time, thus subjecting them to heavy fine«, no people will bear such attempted imposition, but you people of iron bridge notoriety at Washington street. If idiots would build a court house west of that iron bridge site and therefore turn Biandywtne Hundred court travel over said proposed iron bridge, that is only to cost the little sum of $100,OX),how lots would sell over the Brandywine. The old basin is up-hill and too far north for the centre of impu tation of this couuty. Front street, near Market, ought to be the place, if the county Couit-house is ever to go to Wilmington. It is as far North as it should go. But if Wiiming ton, Brandywine, Christiana and Mill Creek hundred are to form a county to themselves, fix it in that imaginary park, hill-side or swamp, or where you please ; but do not ask the seven lower hundreds to g>> up to the old basin or to the borders of Chester county, and if you attempt it, I think, if all other powers fail us, we cau ma kc a plain case before the Chan cellor for an injunction to restrain a dol lar from bo.tig laid out at your old basin or your Bianuywine swamp—at least uti* tjj ano tj jer session of the Legislature. Mr. Herald you say it is only a small matter of a hundred yards ft oui tl.e old basin to a site in that visionary park. Suppose the Court was in session, would it w ait for people to travel one third, or one-half mile or one mile? No. And, suppose persons w anted to make the train, they could not do it. There are two in centives to locate it in the Brandywine swamp. The half jacktas-liorse railway cars, and the irou bridge over Brandywine loi speculators, aud the old basin is a kind of economical dodge to save the city of Wilmington the outlay for a Court-house site, they promised to furnish the site free. If they did so promise, they should, as all other fools, be released from such an offer; for if the county determines at any time to change the site of the Court house to any hundred let the county pay for it. Then the people are independent. Wilmington is in no condition to buy new sites for a Court-house to give to the couuty, and the people of the county are too independent to accept al our loss, the old cast off clothing of the city of Wil mington—the old basin. There need not he any hurry about a new Court-house. The present one at New Castle is a very Samuel Townsend.
