27 only ill-timed, but an impugnment of his bravery and strength. The ire of the independent spirits of Conoco- cheague was aroused at this proposal to strip them of their sole reliance while staying in possession of their homes; and they united in sustaining Mr. Chambers in his determi- nation to resist the attempt to deprive him of them. He indignantly refused to obey an order so uncalled for, so insulting, and replied, that if he was able to build a fort and to arm it, he well knew how to de...fend it, and that, by superior force alone should the cannon be removed. He was reported to the Governor. A true statement of the case could hardly have been made. If otherwise, per- sonal enmity must have entered the matter. Mr. Chambers was one of the commissioners to locate the county-seat of Cumberland. Carlisle, Shippensburg, and a place ten miles from Falling Spring, were looked at, and the former was chosen. This made him obnoxious to those who did not succeed, for he was strenuous in favor of Carlisle ; and it is possible that the governor's mind was biassed by partial representations of those opposed to Chambers.
