MEETING.

At a meeting Of the Democrats of Cui-
yre township, assembled at the Court
House in Bowling Green, on the I'd day
Of December, i643, Adam f. Trainer
was called to the chair, and James A.
Robbins appointed Secretary.
On motion, it was resolved that a
committee of five, be appointed by the
chair, 10 draft a preamble and resolu-
tions expressive of the sense ofthe meet
ing;
Whereupon the chair appointed D. C..
NJ. Parsons, r. ID. Brcwington, Jose
plus Irvine, |. Adams and Col. John
South, as said committee.
After a short absence, the committee
returned, and reported through ID. G..
NJ. Parsons, their chairman, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, which
were adopted.
Whereas, a free people havo the right,
at all times, TO assemble and take into
consideration the conduct Of the Govern
ment-view and s~crutenize its acts; and
adopt such means as are calculated to
check evils, if any exist, and to promote
our common welfare.-Certain occasions
happen in political life, when ii is useful
TO review the principles and practice Of
political men. II enables US to detect
the evil which is likely to arise from
their ascendancy, 10 judge better as to
the ~soundness of the reasons for the faith
which is in ourselyes-and to convince
the wavering as well as truth seeking, of
the soundness of our republican institu-
Political men, and parties should on all
occasions make a candid ayowal of
measures they desire to adopt; but
how we ask; did the wing party act but
recently (say in l94O) TO gain the as
and power, which has been
exercised as we conceive delrimentally
10 ,our common interest.
Instead Of an open, frank, and direct
avowal of principles, we were compell-
to gaze upon a spectacle alike insult
ing to the intelligence and degrading to
he character Of the American people.
In vain did the honest and devoted peo-
Die of the Union, call for this avowal,-.
n vain did they ask for a chart by which
o guide the political vessel in the COM
ng storm! They were answered with
,anners and canoes, hard cider and log
.abins-and we might add, coon skins,
drunkenness and revelry. Nothing was
Ieard on either hand but denunciations
gainst the administration, and the sing
ng of songs. They manufactured creeds

represented his county in The state

The Debafe.-The discussion, says the
Lexington Intelligencer of Nov. 25th,
between the Rev. Mr.. Rice and Elder
Alexander Campbell, progresses, and
the interest which it first awakened is
not at all diminished by its continuance.
Large crowds are daily in attendance.
They have closed two of the seven
propositions which they were to discuss.
The third, viz: christian Baptism is
for the remission of past sins"-the al
firmative of which Mr.. Campbell holds
will be brought to a close to-day. 1t
is thought tina. the debate, when publish
ed, will justify the assertion, that a more
able theological discussion has never
taken place in the country.
The remaining propositions are as
follows:
4th. Baptism is to be administered on
ly by a bishop or ordained presbytery,
Mr.. Rice atfirms-Mr. Campbell denies.
9Th. In conversion and sancrification,
the Spirit of God operates on persons
only through the word of truth. Mr..
Campbell afiirms-AIr. Rice denies.
9th. Human creeds, as bonds of un-
ion and communion, are necessarily he
~retical and achismatical. Mr.. Campbell
affirns-Mr. Rice denies.

A True SNAKE SroRY.-We ere
informed by persons of strict varaci-
~, wh0 are wiIiihg to certify TO the
fact, that Mr.. Charles w. DAVIS. Of
Buchanan County. on the 25,h inst,
killed 80 COPPER SNAKES of the larg-
est size, under the floor Of his dweIV.
ing house.
We have not learned the particle
lars of ibis extraordinary "Snake
killing from Mr.. d., alone Tut from
several Of his neighbours, who were
called upon to assist in d~cspatching
these unwelcome visitors, wao had
taken up TIER winter quarters not on
" under the floor of the house he
dweIt in. but under the very bed in
which lie reposed.
Snake stories do not generally re-
ceive much credit, bat we are under
the impression that there is nothing
asserted in the foregoing which is not
strictly true, and We venrme to say
that it is '.hard TO beat IN any part of
the west. or East eiiher.-N.
Col. JOHN TRuuayL1.-This enc
rabIe patriot died at New York On
the 10th, aged 81.
He was born at Lebanon, Connec-
ticut. His father, Jonathan Trum-
bull, was the first magistrate of that
Colonyunder Great Britain before our
independence, and continued TO be
elected Governor during the whole
war of the Revolution.
Immediately after the battle of
Lexington, 10Th April. 1875. John
Trunbull joined the Revolutionary
forces as Adjulant to the first Con.
necticut Regiment. On Washing
toms arrival at Boston. he skecthed
ed the enemy's works so accurately.
that he received the appointment of

after he was appointed Major
of Brigade at Roxbury. In I776

Trumbull his adjutanl, with the rank

points. Several Mexican traders who
