EVANSVILLE 70 no) MEETING,

Some stress has been laid on tho proceedings of
the democratic citizens of y uskingum county, Ohio,
who lately assembled at Z1nesville, to express their
opinions OF the Presidential election. The proceed
ings of the meeting, as signed by the Chairman, MIR.
Herrick, lately q member Of Congress tom Ohio, al
legged that the late Caucus in Washington, was una
ninousiy approved by them, the democratic Tepub-
licans, unanimously invited to cooperate for its sue
cess, Mr.. Crawford unanimously nominated and APP
proved, and several Other resolutions as unanimous
" adopted as the preceding. Now it turns out, IN
eUtdence, that these unanimous gentlemen, consisted
of Mr.. Herrick, the Secretary Of the meeting, and
some eight or ten others who thought alike as TO Mr..
Crawford and the Caucus. The meeting itself, ia
yited these unanimous gentlemen to withdraw when
another string of Resolutions, differing foto cmto from
the unanimous resolves of Mr.. Hcrrick and his COM
panions, was offered and adopted. These, as the
legitimate offspring of the GAINESVILLE meeting, we
nublish to-day. Was it becoming N Mr.. Henick
and his associates, to publish their opinions as the
true proceedings of the meeting, without offering to
the public any explanation of the circumstances OF
tbs case?

FHE ELECTORAL LAW IN NETWORK.

FHE ELECTORAL LAW IN NEWBORN.
The conduct of the Senate of New-York in re-
|Jecting the Electoral Law, has been improperly COM
pared To that of Vermont and other States, which
have recently pursued the same policy, and refused
to lessen the weight of those States, by taking the
appointment of Electors out Of the hands of the Lc-
g'siature. 1t is not in retaining the old form of cleo
tom that the culpability of the Senate consists, but
IN retaining 1t plainly against the scishes of the peo-
pie. Had the question as TO their rishes been eaui-
vocal, all will acknowledge the conduct Of the Sem
ate to have been prudent and judicioss. There is
n great probability of the Presidential elections de-
volving on the House of Representatives, and a We
ry general inclination to prevent it by fair Constitu-
tional means. This probability is increased by di-
viding the votes of the individual States, and where
there is no plain indication Of the wish of the people
TO have an old mode changed, as was the case i'm
Vermont, there the Legislature would act wisely in
leaving things in statu quo. But this was not the
case in New-York. Meetings for the purpose of en-
bodying public opinion were held over the State
were in many cases instructed, and the
great unanimity of the vote in the House of Delegates.
plainly showed that the sentiments of the pcople
were fully understood and honored by that BODY.
No consequence which the Senate deprecated from
a change of the Electoral Law, can he worse, than
direct and manifest disobedience to the people. nor
was 1t ever yet right to do wrong, that goed might
come of it,"

good intentions TO prevails
During several days, the ~revolters pretended
todictate to the Congress, and even threatened to
plumber the town, ifthey were not furnished with
money. For its own security the Congress pre-
pared to remove to the distance of ten leagues
from the capital, and, at the same time, evincing
some firmness, declared that if the insurgents did
not surrender within two hours, they should be
put out of the protection of the laws, and declar-
red enemies ofthe country. They surrendered
and enjoy at present the same rank that they
held before. This was in the evening, and the
next morning we learned that Col. ****sst, the
who under the orders of the late Emperor took Il
convoy of $500, O00,) refused to surrender-The
whole day was passed in fear, and the night fol,
lowing the Colonel was arrested with 21 others.
He was scntencedto be shot butth government
wanted energy, listened TO the petitions which
were presented, andhassimply exiled him. This
was a man who had no popularity. whom nobody
esteemed, who would have doncu us much evil an
of whom an example ought to have been made
Since that time, every tiseing has been tolerahly
tranquil. The ministers and MEMBERS of the Ex-
ccutive powertalk ofresigning. l should see them
take this step with painforthe greater partofthem
are well informed men from whom good actions
may be expected. As to sending the SDauiards
ont ofthe country, that is out of the question, for
il would entirely strip the country: if any men
have wealth, it is they. The government is much
in want Of money, and these is on foot a project
of a kind of forced loan for $780, 900, i trust,
however, that there will be no necessity for per-
sistiag in it, as a loan ola million and a half, from
the English house Of Staples s. Co. has just been
accepted. As for Richards loan, | believe moth
Ing will como oft. 1t seems he was acting with
out authority. If the government would give
good security, it wonldhave more money offered
at than it wants, forthere are here several agents
of wealthy houses in London, with full power to
make arrangements to this effect.
The government seems little disposed to fur
nish troops for a convoy. Even fit was, it would
DC difficult to find people willing to risque their
money. A want of confidence exists, and not
without reason. That which has just occurred
shc,ys that more is to be feared from the conyoy,
than from robbers on the roada.n
