FOR THE SPECTATOR.
ON SLANDER--NO. II.


Although we have briefly noticed a
few causes of contention, yet the con-
siderations of each, to do it Justice, might
fill at least the columns of newspaper
General characters might be drawn in
illustration, the features of which might
designate many individuals as species Of
the genus-but since when recognized
by themselves, each would imagine him
self to be the particular object aimed at,
it may be better to withhold such de-
lineations than to Withstand the brunt of
misrepresenting and sianderous uproar
which would follow.
have heard several respectable pub
lie characters declare that scarcely a
sentence or sentiment had been uttered
BY them which was not either misrepre-
scented or misunderstood; and in seasons
of excitement such must more partlcu-
larly be the fate of anonymous writer's
But to return. To the causes OF conten-
ton which we have mentioned as being
peculiarly favorable here to the hroduc.
zion of SANDER, let us add the zvant Of
mental OCCUPATION as the means OF its ex'
tensive diffusion.
Want of mental occupation may, in
deed, in general be considered as the re,
mote cause of Islander. He whose mint
is put on the stretch by the pursuits o.
science or of business, has but little tint
or inclination for the strife Of alteration
or the invention of SANDER; nay ever
love and grief are either totally shut on
or can assume but temporary occupa
ton. Hence Sir Isaac Newton is al
example of the power of philosophy t
preserve chastity; as he descended tt
the grave with his unsullied; and henc'
the advice of our American poet, II
brave trouble and make yourself busy
But with an opposite state of the mind

II Mgh-handed meaaure.-It is stated
that gentleman in this town, in conse-
quence of tine independent course pur-
sued by the farmers at the meeting on
Monday the 25th June, declares that such
asmay be indebted to him shall receive no
quarters-he proposes to board them
sword in hand. They cannot but ap-
preciate his threat, and spurn with con-
tempt the author, who would thus hope
to influence their conduct. These things
might do in despotic government; here,
they are as idle as the wind.

pressive taxes on the people of this coun-

pulation and wealth ofthe county, and one
called for from necessity? No, but an
elegant and superb mansion TO adorn
and beautify this little village, which re,
auires so much adjoining. Now would
ask Mr.. Prickett, if this county four
months ago demanded an interference OF
the legislature between debtor and Gre

cution law for IL months, are they now
in situation to build Jail OF the size

FOR THE SPECTATOR,
(COPY.)

AT numerous and respectable meet
ing OF Farmers, convened in Edwards
vile, OH Monday the asth June, to take
into consideration, the propriety of the
order of the County Commissioners re-
specting the building of Jail,
On motion of Mr.. John Howard,
Robert Brazil, Esq. was called to
the chair, and John Barber appointed
secretary. The object of the meeting
having been explained by Judge Jacob
w. Walker, the following resolutions
were adopted:
RESOLVED, That it is the opinion of
this meeting, that it is inexpedient, at
this time to contract for the erection of
Jail tor this county at the public cost.
RESOLVED, That it is the opinion of this
meeting, that the pressure of the times,
and the scarcity of money is such, that it
would be highly oppressive to collect
from the people any considerable sum Of
money, in addition to the amount at pre-
sent collectable.
RESOLVED, That Col Samuel Judy,
Major Isaac Ferguson, and Caleb Gun
terinan, be committee to wait on the
Commissioners and present them with
the foregoing resolutions, and request
reconsideration of their order fer the
building of the Jail.
ROBERT BRAZIL, Chairman.
JOHN BARBER, Secretary.
The preceding resolutions were i'm
mediateIy after their adoption, handed by
the committee in person to the commits
sioners. 1t remains to be seen whether
they will respect the opinions of re-
spectacle portion Of their fellow citizens,
both for numbers and character, or whe-
Their they are determined to disregard
them, until by simultaneous effort the
people shall rise in their majesty and
speak in voice that no public officer
dare disregard. 1t is recommended to
the people in the different townships in
the county 10 make their arrangements
for letting their opinions be known, and
that at this time their burthens are al
ready heavy enough to be borne, with
out being oppressed most grievously by
an additional load of taxes for a Jail,
which no disinterested man can say is,
at this time, required. Let them act
promptly and together; no time ought
to be lost. If they, speak like freemen
their servants must obey. The people
ought and will rule.
One cfthe PEOPLE.

cation is very limited, and on account OF
distance, constant residence, and long &C.
quaintance, the opportunities therefore
of preventing and correcting misrepre-
sensations are much greater; here, on
tho contrary, individuals frUIII every por-
ton ola state, are correctly or incorrect
ly, made acquainted with circumstances
connected with some of its most distant
members falsehood flies every where
more readily than truth, but the oppor-
tunity of rebutting it which is enjoyed in
the older states is not here to be found"
Private houses Of entertainment are
here much greater vehicles of SANDER
than a prostituted press. We all know
that travellers are obliged to depend on
such in general; and in the conversation
of the evening the traveller receives all
the topics of conversation for the neigh
borhood from his obliging host but this
is not all-every tale that has been left
by distant tattlers is called forth and ex.
hibited in its most inviting colors.-He
has anecdotes concerning all the little
great men of the country for 40 or so
miles around; and, as those which re-
late to the best part of a mans chNac-
|. ter are not sufficiently interesting the
, bad are selected; and as the improHble
would not excite an equal degree oibe-
liet, if opposite circumstances, or &en
his own opinion were mentioned, tley
