that1be county of Athens had been sh0n oi two of her most valuable townships, Homer and Marion for the purpose of attaching them to the county of Morgan. And we doubt much if any act of a local nature could well have been adopted by the legislature to cause a deeper disappointment in the minds of that portion of the people of the county who claim to have majority in that body representing their interests.
 1t k unpleasant fer US at all times to de- aouncc and condemn the acts and measures of our political friends. and especially when q sense of duty requires the manifestation of that condemnation in public manner Such things. however, will occasionally occur; and matters 10 which the caption of this article refers form one of those duties of which we speak. And we intend, before having done with this matter entirely, to let the whig members of tue legislature who voted for the measure know, that neither party predilec- lions, nor our desire to conform in sentiment with all the measures of the whig party, will induce us silently to sit down and submit to such gross acts of injustice being visited upon the rights of the people, come from what fountain, or let the motives be what they may. The act is clearly and manifestly fraud upon the rights of the citizens of this county-an act that will admit oI no palliation or iustili- cation WhataVer-an act net only uncalled for, bat passed in direct violation of the will of majority of those most deeply eoneerned, as well as ill violation of express provisions of long established law Ii IS a fraud upon the rights of the people, because by 1t, with out LEGAL and due notice, they have had wrested from them that which should not in justice be without their consent 1t is in yio- iaton of the express will of the people, not only manifested through remonstrances, (of which over 500 were presented within the two days previous to its final passage,) but in it's opposition by those persons representing the two counties concerned; and il is clearly Il palpable violation of the well-known pro- vision of the statute of the Stale requiring thirty days notice lo be given in the county dismembercd. No osuCH LEGAL NOTICE WAS GIVEN.
 We have much to say on this subject, but must refrain for the present. The question excited much interest and more animated dis eussion than any ylocal question that has come before the legislature during tho session.

From he V. 0. Courier.


 The foot race, the anticipation ol which has created good deal of excitement ii our city for some time past, came of yesterday on the BLetaric Course. The crowd of spec tators was very large, numbering, as we are told. not less than five thousand.
 Al one o'clock the bell sounded the signal Gorthecompettors tomakctheiraPPeamncc- Of nine who had entered, only four came 10 the scratch. viz John Gildersleeye, John Archer, Thomas EIlwordl, and H. B. the man with the mask.
 At the start. the masked man took the lead, closely followed by GildersIeeve and Archer. Fillmore in the rear Before making the first quarier. GiIdcrsleeye gave the go-by 10 the mask, and came in at the end of the mile ahead in 51 minutes; Archer second, Ell worth third. After running about three quar- ters of mile, the mask bolted and has not been heard of since Eliworth after running three miles, was seized with the cramD and fell prostrate opposite the judges stand, and was immediately borne of to be refreshed.
 Gildcrsleeye was steadily going ahead al an even and uniform speed, and after making his seventh mile passed Archer, who was within quarter of mile of completing his sixth. Archer then gave up the contest as hopeless, leaving the field 10 Gildersleeye, alone, who Finished the g. miles in 56a min- utes-which entitled him 10 the purse of $P500: he continued running, and concluded the ten miles in 59 minutes and 50 seconds, amid the shouts of the spectators.

The following is Gildersleeye7s lime :

When the race WAS over Glldersleeye ap- Peared comparatively fresh, and with very litde fatigue and exhaustion. He mounted thejudges' stand, where he received the hearty greetings of bis friends.
 Ellwofth also appeared on the stand, and told the spectators that he had entered for ths race for the purpose merely of making il more cXeiting-lhat he was not | running man, but a walking man, and concluded by stating that he was ready 10 walk from one mile 10 thousand with any man for any amount. This Is the same individual who iii Boston, some time ago, walked 1000 miles in 1000 hours.
 Ne have been told that the masked man runs with astonishing sFeed-that in training he ran more than half the ten miles in hail an hour, and the whole ten miles within the hour, and that some days ago while training he stumbled over q stick and sprained his ankle If this statement is eorfect Glider sleeve would have had dangerous rival but for the accidental hurt to the ankle

WIlIG GERRYMAADERING3.

The acts of the late Whig legislature of Ohio have eXceilcd in atrocity anything heretofore recorded in Inc annals Of the country. Not only have they repealed all the safeguards which former legislatures had thrown around the banking institutions of the country for the protection of the people, but they have substituted a bank government, whereby a few individuals in Columbus can monopoize the business of the State, and levy their tribute on every county in Ohio and further than this, to reward few partisans, they have been guilty of an outrage without precedent in tle United States. The constitution and laws of the United States require that each State shall be divided into congressional dis trcts once in ten years, in order that the representation of the several States may cor respond with the congressional apportionment law. which is made in accordance with the returns of the census. Two elections have already been held since the last census under the new congressional district law, and three more elections remain to be held before the next congressional apportionment, yet. for mere partisan purposes, the late Whig logis- latWe oi Ohio have not only altered these districts, by taking counties from certain dis tncts and attaching them to others, but they have even violated all llconsttutonals safeguards by detachlng i0NasdipS from some Of tho coun- ties, and lacking them on to- others, against the will of the people of such counties, and without giving tho notice which is required m saca cases. We call particular attention 10 the Following article on the subject, which we find in the Athenan of the Huh insant- a whig paper published at Athens, ntbis State:
 Globe. Homer and .Hdrion fo@oshiPS aijdehcd io
 ,Morgaa- Unprecedented action of t4e le-
 gislaiare.
 Save the subject of annexation, during the past winter, no one act either of Congress or of our own legislature of Ohio has caused within Us more astonishment and ehagfn than did the news on last evening from Columbus.

GRIMES IN THE INDIAN C0UNTRf-lM.
 PoRTANT DECISION AS TO TIE JURIs-
 BI, ZION OF THE U $. COURTS OVER
 THAT COUNTRY.
 Dtsrmcr CouRr or THE U. S FOR ARKANSAS AND
 THE INDIAN GouxfRY-ApalL TERM, ls45 Vnited States }charged with passing counterfeit Harvey WyaHe, }
 This ease came on for trial on Thuisday last Cen Hampstead prosecuting, Judge E. L. Johnson de lending. Plea of mol guilty, extending as 1t does to tae jurisdiction of tbe Court The charge was proven, we presume, to the satisfaction oi Jury Count Attorneys and by sanders-thh Wyatte had passed basa counterfeit coin upon several persons III the Cherokee Nation-and that he was drinking gambling man, poorly calculated to add to the cl'l- li1ation of the people among whom he lived But Il soon appeared n the progress of the tral that the prisoners counsel did not rely upon his innocence but upon want Of jurisdiction in the Court 10 pun sh him.
 The act of Congress extends the criminal jurisdic- lion of the Court over the Indian county except as 10 crimes committed by one Iadiaa upon another Wyatte, il was proven, was d white man. settled in tae Cherokee Nation seveno eight years siace mar rcd Cherokee woman by takiag ep toM her, {. no other form of marriage being then required, Ii was further proven that aoou five years since he was pit ot of the Nation by the Chiefs on account oi bad conduct, but retunpd again and had since been fe safded as citizen of the Nation, and as such voted al the elections
 Mir. Yam. the Treasurer of the Nation, stated that piof to the adoption of the constitution in l839, which prescribes the plan by which persons may become citizens ofthe Nation, marriage with a Cher okee woman, and settlement ill the country, would constitute foreigner citizen, and that the consti- tuition having only prospective operation, did mol affect the citizenship of Wyatte--and that he was certainly citizen of the Nation.
 Under this state of facts judge Johnson decided that Wyattc's case came within the erccptioa con tainad in the act of Congress- and that consequently his Court had no jurisdiction over the case.
 Tn. Judge remarked that a citizen of the United States might cSpatriate himself and become citizen oi the Cherokee Nation in any form that the gov ernmcnt oi that Nation might prescribe or reeog- nize-and then he would be an iadian within the meaning of the act oi Congress, amenaba 10 the laws, and subject o the jurisdiction of the Courts o the Nation, and without the jurisdiction olthc Courts of the |. S.
 Wyalte was discharged, and should he (hopefal tadjaa return to the country of lis adoption, il is to be expected that he will be punished there for his crimes.

MGNteo.-Nhen Gen. Almonte withdrew from the Government of the U. S. as the minister of Mexico, he went to New York to await orders from '. Journal of Commerce, goes further to confirm Us i'll the opinion We have ever entertained, since the agitation ol the question, that there is to be nc war with Mexico on account of annexation.
 WAR WITH MENleo.-A paragraph in the N. York Journal of Commerce says: Gen. Almono has received advices from lis Gov ernment since the overthrow Of his particular friend Santa Anna The Ambassador has been recognised by the new Government, but will, nevertheless, return home on the first of April. He expresses the opinion that as the Resolutions for the annexation of Tex as were passed by so small a majority, the Mexican Government will not think it ne- eessary to disturb the friendly relations now existing between the two nations.
 Upon this the Lexington tKy.) Gazette remarks:
 So this is the end of the .MtrjcaR ear humbug, with which the whig presses have been attempting to irighen our government. And the "small majority" by which the measure of annexation passed, is Mexico's excuse for backing out from her high sound ing meuccs. The true reason, we appro- bend, Is To be found in her dread of the small whipping which she fell certain of getting, il she attempted to carry her threats into ex- ecuion.
 We have no news yet as to the fate of Santa Anna The Congress of Mexico, before which he was to be tried, have, will soon determine the destiny of the most cruel tyrant fthis enlightened age.
 
 MrsMEmsM-our neighbor, of the Gazette, con lesses himself q fun believer in mesmerism and dates his conversion from witnessing, last summer at the Hot Springs, some wonderful experiments by moSi accomplished lady,"
 Ah! neighbor, your conversion is'easily accounted for. II was very natural fer charming lady to throw signing beau, as you were then, into mes merle spell, by the beams of bright eyes, and smiles of pretty lips, and while in that condition make you believe that she did perform wonders upon her ser want girl. The logic was quite natmaI-it may have ran th0s:-This accomplished lady has certainly mes metsed me, ergo she has mesmerised the servant girl, or any body else that she has cxperimented upon-therelore from this out am believer in the Scicnce
