the nation By its effects the credit system is
to be destroyed, the Banks are to be wound
up, or 10 crippled in their means as to be un-
able to afford any assistance to the people,
and as a necessary consequence the pro-
duce of the farmer, earned by iucessant toll
and sweat of his burning brow will be sacri-
feed NJ half its value, and his landed estate
brought down to par value with the wiles
OF Wisconsin.
Resolved, that we deprecate the course
taken by the present predominant party in
the Congress of the United States by dis
franchising the five Wing representatives
from the State of New Jersey, thereby de-
barring that State of a legal representation
in the councils Of the nation, and all for par
ty purposes.
ResoiVed, That the conduct of the Pre-
sident of the United States in attempting to
force upon the people the odious thrice re-
jected sub Treasury scheme is an alarming
attempt to subject the country to the con-
troll Of the Executive and a few irresponsible
advisers in opposition to .he will of the pen-
pie, fully and PLAINLY expressed through their
Immediate representatives.
Resoiued, That we invite our fellow cit
zens in every town in the county, forthwith
to call meetings and organize for the fur
therance Of the Harrisburg ticket for Pres
ident and Vice President. Let the lines
be distinctly drawn between the supporters
of the poor but honest soldier, and those
who desire the continuance of the present
state of miserable misrulc and political prof
Iigacy that marks every step of the Nation
al Executive, and his Pie Bald party: we
have our fears Of the result. Onward then
to victory.
Resoloed, That the proceedings of this
meeting be signed by the Chairman and
Secretary, and published in the Maumee
Express and Toledo Blade.

young white girl. Finding her situation,
with the consent of her mother, she
married the negro. Divers and sun

for his absence. The circumstances Of the

APPEARANCE OF THE QUEEN WHEN
SIZE MADE HER DECLARATION
OF LOVE

Her majesty wore brilliant bracelet, on
Saturday, at the privy council, on which
was the portrait Of Prince Albert. The
Marquis of Lansdowne addressed very
complimentary speech to her when she had
concluded hers, saying, that he was per-
suaded that the news of her approaching
nuptials would difflse universal joy through
the realm, ana that he begged her gracious
permission to make the news public The
Queen bowed gracefully, handed him her
speech. The Queen appeared to leel the
extreme awkwardness of her position, look
ed unusually pale, and read the declaration
Of her intended marriage with some trepi-
dation of voice and manner, though she
pronounced the words smature considera-
ton emphatcally. 1t was generally OBJ
served that Lord Melbourne looked aged,
and appeared not to be in usual spirits. All
eyes were on the Duke of Wellington, and
universal joy was experienced at seeing his
Grace so perfectly recovered, Lord Brough-
am was present, ,-and by his On1maton OF
manner, furnished ocular demonstration that
he was perfectly alive Post.

Woodward, tobacconist, of your city, who
was reported as lost on board the Lexipg-

passage on board the Inflated boat, and
went down to the wharf with porter and
baggage, about ten minutes before starting;
but upon arriving there, he found that
he had left an article behind him, giving in
structions to have his trunk placed on board
he ran back in haste to Broadway, and re-
turned to the edge of the wharf just as the
hawser of the steamer was cast off. Won
derful to relate, new pair of boots caused
him to slip upon the ce, and he was unable
to reach the steamer without jumping at
the risk of his life. His disappointment
was great, but his delverance was much
greater. Yours truly, Il. G.

We borrow pretty nearly every thing
