.Sth of January Convention.

We observe by our exchanges that in many
of the Counties of the State, the delegates to
the Convention to be held at Columbus on
the 9th Of Jonuary next for the nomination of
candidate for Governor, have already been
appointed. As yet we have heard but little
said in this County upon the subject. Wheth-
er the county is be repressnsed in that con-
vention or not we do not know; however, il
is to be hoped that it will. 1t seems to US
that the Democrats is Of Old Portage have a
choice between the individuals whose names
have been announced for that station, and
that they should make that choice manifest.
There is but little over mo nth left before
the meeting of the Convention, and if the
Democrats of this county intend to do any
thing in relation to this matter, it Is time they
were moving.

in the vicinity Of the FIRE been dry, they
must inevitably have caught, as they
were ofths most combustibls materials.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to
the e3members OF the Engine and Hose
and Hook and Ladder Companies, for
their gallant exertions in. arrsssing the

have been much more extensive cad the

5000 or $70O, insured. The building
lin which the fire was FIRST discovered was
insured for $4,000. The other buildings
burned were frames, and we believe
were not insured. They were the prop
srty Of the widow and heirs Of the late
John Waddle. The other individuals
who were burt out, succeeded in saving
the largest portion Of their goods, though
in q damaged condition. The entire
loss is estimated at from $l2 900 to

elements out of which it was formed, then
are they, of all other foes, the most deserving
of banlshment and death. They are the ene-
my al home. The piles of old pamphlets,
and newspapers, which grace their garrets,
nibal aopeiites, from year to year, 90, not
show the time when the administrations OF
this government suited them-and amongst
them may be often found ancient speeches,
and tracts, defending things now as defence
less in history, as the treason of Arnold.--
There are multiudes Of men who have grown
gray amid the blessings Of cur republican in-
stitutions, and but comparatively short PEI
riod of that time. have enjoyed the pleasure,
or performed the duty, Of concurring with
the government in any of It's great leading
measures which have lifted our people above
the common level of mankind IN other coun-
tries. They are men who are generally at
elections, most active with the ballot--and
most hypocrtically distressed, and periodical.
ly panic-struck. They are men fond of power,
and wealth; and fond of the deceitful arts,
and Legislative juglery, that procures them
and men too, who never yet in this country,
where the struggle is between the many and
the few, saw time, that was not to them a
erisis--an important, most euentful crisis
when s'order," "decency," "morality," and
''religion," were not in danger. -,
Recently, these men may be known by their
trembling breath, and bIanched cheek, when
they open gazette and look at the columns
of foreign news. The sentence "balance of
power" means something, they do not know
what. There was. sure, something said about
"ballances," in the hand writing on the wall
of Belshazsars dining room. But what these
European Lords mean by this phrase greatly
puzzles them. When told it means, "lhat
republicanism must not outweigh royalty,
they look very complacent. But when told
that our people will not submit to be thus
balanced, they forthwith 60 into spasm ; and

10 days Later from the city Of JMer;co.
BY the arrival Of the Creole, Dasache
master, from Vesa Cruz. whence she
sailed on the 29th ult. we have full files
from the city Of Mexico to the 25th Of
October--thirteen days later than we re-.
ceived by the Mississippi and Princeton.
Among the passengers by the Creole
are the wife and daughter Of the brave
bit unfortunate Gen. Mejia. It will be
recolected that Gen. M. was shot near
Puebla by order ofSanta Anna.
We learn verbally that the general
impression at Vera Cruz, when the Gre
ole sailed, was, that all difficulties be-
tween the United States and Mexico
were in fair way to be amicably settled
1t may be that Mexico may yet desire the
Interference Of our government to help
her out Of her difficulties with France,
and perhaps with England: stranger
things have occurred. ..s ,..s.
The master of the Creole reports that,
when he sailed from Vera Cruz. the
United States squadron had taken its de.

New Counties.

We published two weeks ago, from the
Ohio Patriot list ofELEVEN new coun>
ties, fo- the erection of which, petitions will
be presented to the Legislature this. winter.
We find in.t the same paper Of Friday last a
list of FOUR more, making IN all FIFTEEN,
for which petitions; will be pre- esen,ed. If the
Legislature shall con slider al; these applica-
lions. they will consumesno inconsiderable
portion of its time, and no small amount of
the money of the State. 1t would, doubtless,
be agreeable, to the people of every village or
town to make theirs the shire town Of the
county and tywould be quite convenient for
many, if the county seat of the county could
be located upon their own plantations. The
mania for the creation Of new counties is only
eqsaled by the Bank mania. Every town
must be county seat, and almost every will
age must have Bank. .t... .. ..'
These applications for new counties are
attended with an enormous expense, and this
expense is borne by the tax-paying portion OF
the whole State; and allth advantage which is
derived from the most Of these new Counties
is to raise the value Of the property of some
few indvid uals who reside in the immediate
vicinity of their county seats, and the creation
of few officers to be filled by some ambi-
tous aspirants after place and power. 1t is
quite time that the Legislature should treat
these applications as they deserve to be treated
by laying them upon the table when the peti-
tions are first presented, unless they posses
more merit than the most. if not all of them,
do. ...
The propositions to dismember this County,
hould either Of them succeed, would reduce
il to nearly its Constitutional limits, and
without any advantage to a single individual
living within the present limits of the county,
unless it be to some spectators in village
lots in the proposed county seats; while the
creation of those new counties would material
lv increase the taxes Of both of those Get
off into the new Counties, and those left in the
old county.
The following are the four counties, in ad-
dition 10 those, list Of which we gave two
weeks ago, for which Petitions are to be
presented

Many Of the wealthiest, and most respecta>
ble. gentlemen in the colonies, during the war
of the Revolution, were fervent exh0rters for
peace, and preached loudly against all war
like preparations. They could see nothing,
either in national independence, or in the new
mode of government advocated, worth going
to war for. The Tea Tax, and stamp act
SAID they, 'were trivial evils, compared with
the evils of war; In the last war, the war
that proved the justice of the first, and con-
tirmed, and established our national freedom
upon a republican basis, large numbers Of
gentlemen, and presses, were scattered
through 1.-The States, uttering similar senti>
ments, and proclaimlng, that it was unbe-
coming achristian people to rejoice IN victo.
ries obtained over the enemy by our gallant
troops.' And whenever on different occa.
sions since, our government, in it's onward,
and strait forward course, has been brought
in conflict with obstacles which have been
flung in its way, and collisions have been
feared; it has never failed, that men, and
large parties of men, have banded together to
impede the action of the administration. to
misconstrue its language, and to belle, and
impeach lis motives; and who have invariably
mingled with their reproaches, and cons
plants against the government, @the most

the dreadful, destructive effects, and hor>

Eighth Of January Convention.
To THE DEMOCRATS OF ONO:

At meeting Of the Democratic
State Central Committee, 1t was
RESOLVED, That notice be published,
calling Democratic State Convention,
to be held in the city Of Columbus, on
the sth Of January next, pursuant to
adjournment of the State Convention,
held on the 4th OF July last, and in ac-
cordance with the long established u.
sage ofthe Democratic party. " a'' 2
1t will be incumbent upon the Dem.
ocracy then assembled, to nominate a
candidate for Governor, and attend to
such other duties as may appropriately
devolve upon a biennial State Conven.
ton. rs .'.. "i"
We shall not, we humbly trust, trans.
cend the limits appropriate to such q
notice, by briefly calling the attention
Of our political brethren to the vast i'm.
portance of full convention, and that
harmony and concert Of action govern
their counsels. . ~', g.
Our political opponents have had the
ascendancy Of our State government
for the last two years. At the last ses.
sion Of the Legislature, they laid down
their system Of State government; they
also indicated what they would do i!
they should have the ascendency in the
national councils. II ..a'
We have not the time nor space, nor
is this an appropriate occasion for us to
give even an epitome Of their dolngs.
Their proceedings are already before
the people e-already are they recorded
as part ofthe history Of the world. '.
A system Of unequal laws, extensive
immunities, and aristocratic privileges,
was established, through the most mag.
nifcent and corrupting, if not the most
fraudulent scheme Of banking, for the
benefit Of one class, while oppressive
taxation and its train Of attendant evils
were reserved for another. Eia g. -
This same party still has the ascen-
dancy in every department of our State
government: and it will be their effort
10 rivet their favorite system upon the
people still more closely. "a7 g 10 y
Already have they put in motion the
machinery which the Legislature at its
last session established,by locating theil
offices, or branches, at the various bu.
siness points in the State, for the pur.
pose Of controlling through their fctl,
tlous credit, which they call banks, the
political as well as the financial affairs
lofthe State. ''' .~'- ~ 'A,
Thus armed with all the oorrup,inQ
influence that their party leaders can
WELD, these bankers are in the field
ready to subsidize the press, or pur.
chase such politicians as will basely

|edged the righlful, supremacy of l,t-hFltl tht
money power. 4 .,ts 1i;,. faT;g
