it without feelings of great Encouragement. But
know Of only one safe rule in all the vicssudes
of human life, public and private, and that is con-
scentously to satisfy ourselves Of what is right,
and firmly and undeviaingy to pursue it under
all trials and circumstances, con6ding in the great
Ruler of the Universe for ultimate success. The
Wings are deliberately convinced of the truth and
wisdom of the principles and measures which they
have espoused 1t seems, therefore, to me, that they
should persevere in conending for them and that,
adherng to their separate and distinct organization,
they should treat all who have the good of their
country in view, with respect and sympathy, and in
vite their operation in securing the patriotic OBJ
fleets which it has been their aim and purpose to ac-
lcomplsh.

and tranquility seeking faithfully to perform, in the
walks of private life, whatever duties may yet APP
pertain to me. And shall never cease, whilst life
remains to look, with lively interest and deep soli

OHIO.

The Ohio Legislature now in session, have it in
contemplation to re-dlvide the State into Congress-
ional Districts. The State was dishonesty divi
ded, by the last Legislature, that with Wing ma
ority of six thousand in the State, the Locos
lrve to carry no less than two thirds of the Dis
tricts. The State Journal says that "the law es-
tablished by the Loco Focos being clearly in viola
ton of the spirit and letter of the law of Congress
and utterly destructive of the rights of the maiori
ty, its repeal seems to be demanded by every
sideration that can have weight with the servants
of the people"
The Committee on the Judiciary have reported
to the Legislature series of resolutions on the
subject Of Texas. They declare that the Constitu-
ton gives no power, expressly or constructlvey
to the legislative or executive departments, to
both united to associate any foreign power in the
administration of the Government Of the United
States
That the United States are political firm, where
Of the several States are members, and that for
eign power can be admitted into the firm without
the express consent of each Of the members, by
the people thereof:
That any attempt by the Congress of the United
States, its Executive, other officers, to form UNI
ion with any foreign power, would be nugatOry
that none Of the States not giving their express
consent thereto would be under any obligation to
: unite in such new coniederacy and that should u
portion of the States of this Union form coned-
cracy with the Government of Texas, through the
instrumentalily of our federal officers Of Con-
gress, such act will impose upon the people Of Ohio
no obligation to unite in such new confederation
1 That Slavery is an institution peculiar to the
;, States whose laws admit it, which, in such
States, the Government of the United States has
: no CONTROL on account of which it has no RESPONSE
bilty; and that the people of Ohio, and the othe
free States, are, and ought to be exempt from tht
wrong and charges thereof; but that the annexa
ton Of Texas 10 the nited States, for the supper
r of Slavery, will identity our National Government
Herewith, and subject the State of Ohio, and othe
free States, to the disgrace and charges of sustain
e ing it.
] In the name of the people Of Ohio, the Legsla
ture protests against the union of Texas with tn,
United States, as unconstitutional, unjust, revolu
tionary, and tending to disunon.

Guano. OF this substance, as newly discov-

where it is found, and of the circumstances under
which it is obained
"IIere am in the father of all dunghills, an
enormous mass of birds manure, called guano, ~

nounced Itchebo, for an incorrect account of which,

Polk on Dow-The rumor gains strength and
credence, that Mr.. Polk has written letter of very
cold comfort, in to the application of certain
Dorriles here, for expression of his opinion up
on the great question of unlimited sovereignity.-
The "Insugents," as John Tyler very properly
calls them, now rest all their hopes in the House of
Representatives. They ask only for endorsement
of Burke's Report and the adoption of his Resolu-
tons Even here they may find themselves mista-
ken. The Southern democrats will pause before
they give sanction to doctrines which legitimaely
carried out, would put an end at once to their "Pe-
culiar Institutions" Little good as an expression
of opinion from the House of Representatives would
do them, we doubt if they will get even that But
there is one thing in their favor; they are accus-
toned to such disappolntments. They placed great
reliance upon the action of the Democratic Con.
vention at Baltimore but that body turned to them
the cold shoulder, and refused them even an emp
ty resolution.-Prou Journal.

Mr. JAMES BABE, venerable patriot who voted
for Gen. Washington and who has been an unwa-
vering Wing ever since, at the recent election
gave his vote for Henry Clay.
At the polls lis vote was challenged by Gen.
Forsman, the late unsuccessful candidate for Polk
elector in this district, the ground of his being
an alien. The challenge took him by surprise, and
in answer TO the Gems question: as to how long he
had been in the United States, the old hero replied
-"Why, God bless you child, came here long be-
fore you was born !" A loud laugh from the by
ISLANDERS, followed at the infant Generals expense,
who Immediately withdrew his challenge, and per-
mitted Mr. Babb to vote once more as he had often
done before, for genuine Wing.
Mr.. Babb is now in his Oath year. He is in the
enjoyment of good health and looks as though he
might be able to give several Wing votes yet be-
fore he is called hence. We sincerely trust he
