From the OHIO Renuhzieun.

Agreeably to public notice in the Muskinrum-
Messenger, Of the 9th, a large and respectable
meeting of the Democratic Citizens of Mus
kingum county was held on the 28th of Febru-
airy, atSamucl Frazey's hotel, nZancsville, {" foi
the purpose of taking into consideration the
"propriety of supporting the regularly nom
mated candidates BY the Demo-
"cratic Members of Congress to the People of
"the United States, for the offices of President
and Vice President.o
AT an early hour in the evening, while the
meeting was yet thin, Samuel Herrick was call
ed to the chair, and Ezekiel II. Cos appointed
Secretary. In a short time tile room became
very much rowdel. No proposition was Of
tered for some considerable time by any member
OF the meeting. Successive motiens were then
made, disappearing of d Congressional caucus
nomination, and to adjourn. The meeting
was addressed by Robert Moore, O,'. Foe!er,
Lsanc Fan Horne, .WchuefP Pete rs, Dacid Cha,n-
6eTs, .1Ppleton DoWney, George JuckSon, ,Jqmes
Granger, and others,
The chairman also addressed the meeting, ard
stated, that the notice published had requested
the attendance of the democratic citizens ONLY
that he believed there were a number of fcdcr-
alists III the meeting, and that while they were
present, he could not pat any question relative
TO the friends of the meeting. Loud calls were
made to name tbem-as well as calls for the
question OF adIournment. The CiIairrnap, how
ever, persisted in refusing to put any question.
There were then repeated calls for a ncw clair
man. twas urged by most of tho speakers
That harmony was desirable on a question of this
kind, and that the chairman w ouiI put the oncs-
ton that, although there migltbe a few fcdcr-
alists IN the meeting, it would be an inyidious
task to ferret them ont, and their numbers could
IN no material manner, affect the result Of the
meeting, &c.
Finally, the Chairman, Secretary, and some
lew others, retired, leaving, however, a vast ma.
Jorlty. The meeting being left without a chair
man or secretary, they again proceeded, il an or
DERBY manner, 10 rs-orGaniZe; wien
.3Ppketot D0Loner was called to the chair, and
Dao'd Chambers appointed secretary.
Onc hundred and eleven citizens were pres
cnt. The resolutions adopted, without a dissen-
ting voice, were as follows:
T.. Resolced, That we disapproye Of the late
nomination of candilatcs for The Offices Of rIcs-
ldent and Vice President, by n minority Of the
Democratic members VI Coz ~rcsj--

ed cxpcdient by the Democratic members al
Congress to recommend candidates, in order to
ensure the triumph of those great principles for
which the party had commended. 1t was then
resortcd to for the support of principles. Now,
the political character and party sentiments Of
all the Candidates arc confessedly the samc-al
democratic they being all supporters of tho
present administration, SO popular with the great
mass OF the people, that not n solitary murmur
Is heard In OPPOSITION aud there is not the slight
est probability that the Federalists will name
any candidate Of their own party.
Because a very great majority of the Demo-
cratic party, as well throughout the Union as in
Congress, not only did not call for a Caucus, but
did not desire or approve, of one; whether
because experience has taught them that il Is
a dangerous expcdient, liable TO abuse, g. tend
ing to corruption, or whatever might be their
motives, it is not now necessary to inquire.
because the late caucus, so far as itmay have
any weight, goes entirely to reverse the great
fundamental principles ofthe party, and Of the
institutions on which our liberty and prosperitv
are founded. ltgoes to subvert the will of the
majority, and to substitute therefor, the will of
the minority, as the governing principle.
because it will tend to aggravatea and render
more hostile, the differences already existing in
the republican party, by pledges to support a
particular individual, and thus closing the door
against further discussion and efforts for union.

EUGENIA DE MiRANDE.

An INTERESTING sTORY.-FRoM THE FRENCH.
Towards the close of the summer, young man
named Linval, walking in the Thuilleries, found,
near the delightful bower where the exquisite sta
tues of Hippomenes and Atalanta are placed, the
following billet:
can opportunity is offered to the person who shall
find this billet of doing good action. If the per-
son is disposed to do it, he is requested to go to the
Rue de Santonge, No. 1912, and ask for Eugenia de
Miranda"

the assistance of an unfortunate mother he is re-
quested not to prevent another person from doing
it, but to drop the billet where he found it,
Lnval is the best dancer in Paris after Trenis he
read the billet, hummed new air while he was
reading it, and then, with stroke Of his bamboo,
whisked it into the air, and fastened to the Faux
bourg du Roule, to give his opinion upon robe Of
exquisite TASTE but which it was feared was not s,f
ficicntly striking.
The second person who picked it up, was man
OF middle age, simply clad, and walking quick. He
stopped, however, to read it, but casting his eyes

think themselves moderate, because they are CON

first kicked the billet, then took it up from motives
of curiosity. Scarcely had he read it, when he tore
1t INTO thousand pieces, exclaiming otis trap
The next day, precisely at the same place, ano-
ther billet was deposited, exactly similar to the for

The young couple proceeded to the Rue de Sain-
tonge. But at Paris having the nane the street,
and the NUMBER is by no means sufficient to ensure
the finding of the real place. Some houses have
the numbers they had before the revolution; from
other houses the revolution has removed former
numbers and placed others. The sections have ac-

twice up and down the streets, the young couple at

was occupied by an old man, formerly physician,

who had an only daughter, distinguished for her wit

she had excited.
