We would willingly forbear mention
ing the name of VIM. G. Jones under
existing circumstances for we have
no disposition to increase .publick fee
ling against him, or to diminish his
chance of fair and impartial trial.
We are therefore only induced TO recur
10 his offence to disabuse the publick
mind on one point.-The New York
Evening Post and some other papers
of the jackson party, have represents
ed Mr.. Jones as attached to the Wing
party, and appear 10 rejoice 10 his down
fall, as it gives them the opportunity to
charge corruption upon Wing editor.
Now it is well known 10 this commu-
nifty that Mr.. Jones never was attached
TO the wing party-on the contrary
that he was warm and jealous sup
porter of General Jackson. But his
politics have no connection with his
offence-nor will we be guilty Of CEN
suring a party for the misconduct OF
an individudl.-BaH. Chron.
The Legislature of the State OF Ohio
met, at an Extraordinary Session to
which they were convoked by the Cow
ernor, on the 9th inst. We have received
the Message of Governor LUCAS to the
Legislature, giving his views of the mer-
its of the controversy with Michigan
Territory, concerning the Boundary-llne
between them, which is the cause OF this

claim is jus, and inconsroveriible ; that
it is settled question, and that we are
under as solemn an obligation to main
tain our jurisdiction over the town.

NEE Bay, as we are to maintain 1t over
any township on the Ohio river.
"Gentlemen-the whole subject is
now before you for considerations
The question necessarily arises, what
shall be dones Shall we abandon our
just claim, relinquish our indisputable
rights, and proclaim to the world,
that the Act and Resolutions of the last
session of the General Assembly were
mere empty things Or, rather, shall
we not (as was declared in said reso.
luton to be our duty prepare to carry
their provision into efecta The latter,
I doubt not, will be your resolution
and | trust that, by your acts, you will
manifest to the world that Ohio knows
her constitutional rights tina. she has
independence enough to assert them
and that she can neither be seduced by
flattery, baffled by diplomatic manage
ment, nor driven by menaces from the
support of those rights. And gentle
men, you may rest assured, that
whatever measures, in your wisdom,
you may direct, will be faithfully pur-
sued by the Executive to the full extent
of his constitutional power, and the
means that may be placed under his
CONTROL" -
