1t is understood from one or two sections
of the state, that an impression is circulated
among the people, by those who know bet
ter, that the act of conditional admission is
the only act of congress which alters our
southern boundary. Now, every body who
reads honest newspapers must be aware that
a separate act establishing the northern
boundary line of Ohio, settles the boundary
between that state and Michigan, without
asking or requiring our consent at all. 1t
is immaterial, with regard to this point,
whether we assent TO the change of our
southern boundary or not. Congress have
transferred the disputed ground to Ohio /;
and the question submitted to us, is not
whether we will let Ohio keep it, but whether
we will 90 into the Union or not. This is
a material fact it is the all Important fact, in
forming our judgments upon the question of
asserting to the act of conditional admission.
II, by refusing, we could keep the subjec:
of our southern boundary open, it might be
expedient to refuse: but that question is
closed by congress. They have surrender.
ed the ground to Ohio and. let us do what
we may, touching the act of congress adj
hitting us, upon terms, into the Union, our
southern boundary is gone. Congress have
passed it entirely out Of their hands, too.
It is surprising that any intelligent man,
with this conclusive view of the subject, can,
for moment suppose that any thing is to be
achieved, but injury to the best interests OF
the state, by our remaining out ofthe Union.

The Cincinnati Mob.-Itis with the most pain
full feelings that we alude to the late rotous pro-
ceedings in Cincinnati, but our duty, as public
journalists, compels to say something in regard
to them. On the 23d of July, large meeting of
citizens was convened to consider the subject of
Abolitionism, and especially what steps should be
taken in reference to the publication ofthe Phlan.
thropist the organ of the Ohio Anti-Slavery
Society, which was issued in that city. The meet
ing appointed committee of twelve to see what
steps could be taken with the consent of the pub
fishers of that paper to suppress it. A CORES
pondence was opened with the editor Mr.. J. G..
Birney, who declined acting in the matter, rs he
was not authorised by the Executive committee
to make any negotiations on the subject, but he
referred the whole to the committee, with whom a
correspondence took place, which eventuated in
their refusal to suspend the publication, for
Der of reasons which are assigned at length in
their reply. The committee first mentioned, then
published their proceedings, and adjourned, hav-
ing first recommended the citizens to abstain from
violcnce--with what effect we shall soon see.
At an early hour on Saturday evening the 30th
ut., the mob collected, and proceeded to the print
ing Office of Mr.. Pugh, where the Philanthropist
was printed, which was entirely demolished, the
presses broken up, carried TO the river and thrown
in. They then made a search for Messrs. Brney
and Donaldson, who had left the city. They at
tackled and destroyed number of buildings inha-
bited by black persons, without doing any person.
al injury during their labors, however, a gun
was hred amongst them loaded with buck-shot,
and young man wounded, but not dangerously.
Much room is occupied in the Cincinnati papers
with the details, but these are the principal cir
cumstances.
During these proceedings the civil authorities
of the city appeared, by their silence, to acqussce
in this subversion of law and order, with perhaps
the exception of the Mayor, who considered it
due'to his station to at least SPEAK to the agrees
sors.
If we should forbear from expressing an opinion
on such proceedings as these, ewould not deserve
the name of American citizens. However num-
erous, or RESPECTABLE those may be who got up
the spirit of mobocracy, we consider it pone the
better, but worse on this account. On : due res
pect for the laws depends our welfare, safety,
our very existence a nation, and he who counte-
nancos the spirit of mobocracy is doing the most
IN his power towards uprooting our free institu-
tons, and scattering frc-brands arrows and death
amongst community.-CIepeiand Advertiser.

The real questionable real question, in
its plain character, and of its full extent, now
at issue before the people of Michigan,
seems to be purposely kept out Of view by
some writer's and journals. z4l2
The question is not whether we shall con-
sent to give up six hundred and fifty
square miles on our southern border: The
question is, whether, with the certain loss Of
these, we shall refuse to receive an Access
sion Of twenty thousand square miles of ter.
ritory on Lake Superior, with the jurisdic-
diction of 100 miles of additional lake coast,
with numerous additional fisheries, navigable
streams, minerals, large and deep forests of
pine and other valuable timber, and with
all the donations Of lands, the proceeds of
the sales, in part, of other lands, and near
ly half million of the surplus revenue in
the nationaitreasury on the first Of January,
into the bargain .s;,..se4a
The question is, whether we will consent
to receive all this invaluable and incalculable
gain, by going into the Union ; or whether
losing our southern boundary, we shall re-
main out of the Union, and lose every thing
else, new territory, lands, money, character.

The importance of embarking with spirit and

But ifthe wings can persuade the people of Mich

seizing the public lands, and appropriating them
to herself? We shudder at the state of things
which refusal to go into the Union will bring
upon Michigan. Not only would her credit be

the treasury department will not feel itself at hber

becomes a full member of the Union, by acceding

of the Union, and of the welfare and prosperit Y
of the state, take the responsibility Of thus nur-

Until we give our assent to the conditions of

gress, our electoral votes for president and vice
president will not be counted. In the case Of
Missouri situated precisely us Michigan is in that
respect she chose her electors they voted for Mr..
Monroe; but congress refused to count her votes.
They were laid ON the table, because she had not
then given her assent to the terms which were
prescribed for her admission. She had presented
her constitution, but it contained a provision
which majority of congress thought in conflict
with the federal constitution; she was therefore
required to annul the provision, and as soon as
that should be done, the president was authorized
to issue his proclamation, declaring her to be u
state of the Union. In the mean time, the house
declined to count her presidential
votes. We refer to the journals of the house of
February, 1921, for the authorization of this

During the short conversation which

preaching Presidential election, or to parry

ces, the correctness of which we are not at
liberty to question, that during his stay, ne
openly assumed the character Of an election
cering partizan. This we extremely re-
orct, both for his own sake and for the sake
of the countrv,-lor, while we are unable
to conceive of "a more undignifed position,
which President of the Cnited Safes
could assume, We are we'll assured that the
example, il followed, must prove most per-
ncious to the best interests Of the Country
and most dangerous to its liberties. These
considerations, we presume, have hitherto
induced all former Presidents, from Wash
ing down to the present time, carefully to
abstain from declaring preference tor any

wAsH1sGToN'S FAREWELL ADDRESS.

WASHlNGION raah " LII "npDi'-''
The following are the. papers referred to in
our last, as having been published BY Mr.
Sparks, in relation to the agency OF MIR. Madi-
souin preparing this address. 1t was originally
published in Boston paper.
SIR I'm several of the public journals,
remarks have been made respecting the
agency of Mr.. Madison in preparing Wash
inston's tarereN address, which have a ten
dency to produce an erroneous impression.
1t has been said that this address was orlgl-
na!ly drawnup by Mr.. Madison, and tha:
his draft, 'with very slight alterations" was
ultimately published. .,,
AS the papers relating to this subject will be
contained in one of the volumes OF '.Wash.
ington's Writings" there seems no impro.
priety in anticipating their appearance In
that publication, so far, at least, as to COR
rect the mistake implied in the above state
ment. For that purpose, Gen. Washing
!. tons letter, and Mr.. Madison's draft are
herewith communicated.
1t will be perceived, that the letter was
written toward the close Of the first presl-
DENTAL term, before Washington had made
ND his mind to be candidate for another
election and also that he had held prevl-
ous conversation with Mr.. Madison on the
subject.
