RoAD MEETING AT FoRT WAYNE
The citizens of Fort Wayne have walked
up to the subject of opening aroad be-
tween that place and Defiance. A NEE
ting has been held, and several spirited
resolutions passed upon the subject.
They have resolved TO commence oper-
atoms Immediately, and to proceed to
open the road as soon as possible, with
a view to the establishment of a line Of
stages TO run in connection with that es-
tablshed and now running between this
place and Defiance. This road when
completed, will supply the only link
wanting to complete the chain Of COM
munication between the waters Of Lake
Erie, and the state of Indiana, and will
undoubtedly SO facilitate the means of
travelling as to induce travellers visiting
the northern parts of Indiana and ILL.,
nois, to take this rout in preference to
any now open. The people Of the
towns upon the Maumee river are all
in this matter, and it is to be
hoped, that they will all use their exer-
tons to forward this very important
work. ~

Song Of September, from Bentes Msceany-Jy Fher Pro~
September the first on the noorand hath burst
And already with ocund carol
Each Nimrod Of mouse hurries off to the grouse
And has sheuldered his double barrel;
For well doth he ken, as he HES through the glen.
That scanty will be his laurel;
Who hath not
On the spot
(Should he miss first shot)
Some resource in adouble barrel.
Twas the Goddess of Sport, in her sylvan court
Diana, first taught this neral,
Which the Goddess of Love soon adorted and str0ye
To improve the "dou}le barrelo
hence her Cupid know, put strings to his bow;
And she laughs, when lovers quarrel,
At the lot
Ofthe sot
Who, to eoothe him, liant got
The resource Of double barrel.
Nay the hint was too good to lie hid in the wood,
Or to Turk in two lips Of coral;
Hence the God the Grape (who his beters would apel
Knows the use Of double barrel
His escutcheon he decks with a double Xxx,
And his blithe October carel
Follows up
With sup

THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.

In another column will be found an article
from that paper. The editor knows full W ell
that it was not ourself who opened the " sub
ject" of discussion between US and it is
matter of perfect Indifference to us, how soon
it is closed or how long it is prolonged. We
have seen nothing in his columns, to cause
us to hesitate in pursuing the course we had
marked out, and in maintaining the position
we have assumed. But on the contrary, the
Enquirer has made admissions which, if any
we're more firmly in the stand we have taken.
We agree with the Enquirer, that ",hese
are no times for dissention and division in the
Republican party"
We have been misunderstood in relation
to "Mird party"-and we shall have no
alteration about that, at least until our views
are correctly appreciated, and explained more
at length.
In reply to our interrogatory to the En-
quirer, whether it was willing to unite with
the iOco.foco destructive party, it answers,
"such men are the rabbe followers of the
camp" they are the FLOATING SCUM" We
thank the Enquirer for teaching us this appel
lation.
The Enquirer turns round and asks US
whether "these men constitute the great Re-
publican party!" To this interrogatory we
give an emphatic reply. No, they do not.
But it is those men who have created divi-
sion in the ranks Of the great Republican
party. part have sacrificed their Republican
principles, and descended TO adopt the princi-
pies put forth by this floating scum" and to
unite their fortunes with theirs; while another
part and an important one, too, has stood
aloof; too firm Of purpose, and too honest in
principle, to degrade themselves by ming!ing
with body thus sigmatized by the Enquirer
1t is an old adage, that men are known by
their associates. The Enquirer has but to
see who have united with these "rabble fol-
lowers Of the camp" TO learn who compose
the party, antagonis,ical to that party, who
preserve the integrity Of Republican princi-
pies by standing aloof.
So far from there being prospect Of har-
mony and union, we are apprehensive that the
renewed recommendations Of the obnoxious
Sub Treasury scheme. will do much towards
widening the breach. Does the acute editor
of the Enquirer discover any thing in the late
measure, again recommended, ola "eonciiioto-
ry and compromising" dispositon' What says
L
special depositcs; that it may be adopted, pro-
vided that the power be VOLUNTARY" and
discretionary" whereby the public moneys
shall be left in the hands of, and entirely I'M
der the control Of, officers appointed by the
President, and removable at this will. II such
scheme will satisfy the editor of the En-
quirer, it will not satisfy US. We can not, as
at present advised, consent 10 any such pro-
position.
