plan of operations for the promotion ofihe cau,
IN this state Some doubt occurred to the CommnI
tee in regard 10 the time and place for each Of M
proposed meetings; and even now they are uncsrI
tain whether they have named such as will be thI
most convenient in any one instance. !, is r,pel
fully suggested, that the several societies in M
counties indicated as the place for such Convention
should have general meeting at an early day, AM
either concur in the above arrangements, OF max
another, and give general notice of their dctem} !
nation.

WAiskcy Us. Iempeyancc-A severe cof,sI
seems to have been carried on between the whM3
drinkers and the Temperance men, in the BorOusy
election in Circleville, Ohio, which resulted, as "a
pears from the votes pclled, decidedly in favo'
the Whiskey Boys. The highest Wh'ssey cH1
date, says the Alexandria Gazette, having
votes, and the loves, Temperance candidate on
receiving ST. After the result ofihe election
known, the Whiskey Boys determined to nave
publication over the victory, in the military S!
But some oflhem paid dearly for their ncIoiy'
appears from the follow ing account Of the af'a''
given in the Circlcville Herald.
Between ten and eleven o'clock, they ch''S
and discharged six pouader, in the west pa'
the town to the grea, annoyance ofthe GOOD pew
who were seeking fepose, and TO tho destruc''O"
the windows in the vicinity. From thence 'hey
paired with the weapon of war, TO the SUNNI
Mount Phillip, alias, the Mound the sou'''
part of the town. Here there were three hea
discharges the two FIRST accompanied with ~
and tumultuous shoutings. In loading for Inc
shot, (Which was very incautiously ATTEMPTED w
cut securing the vent) the charge cxploded'a
groans of death were substituted for shou" Oh
umph Ii was now the hour Of mid"sh'I
when the writer repaired 10 the scene Of dca'H'
bout ten minutes after the catastrophe, he iounu
ground strewed with the bodies of four men,
John White was horribly mansed, gave one "
vusive struggle, and was dead! A man "a''I
Hood, was awfully dis6sured, and so wounu'o
the right arm as to render immediate ompu'a"
near the shoulder necessary. The other two wi
only stunned, and after few minutes rcsa'
their feet, not being materially injured. Inc 'u'1
tuous crowd who had a few minutes before '"'v"
ed the summit, and vexed the wclkin win "1
shouts. had disappeared, and the scene was o'"l
AID solitsry."
