THE RuMoRED REsIGNAIIoN.--The rumor
of the resignation of Mr.. BUCHANAN, Secre-
tary of State, turns out to have been only
idle gossip. The Union, in contradicting it,
says:
"No such report as the above has ever
circulated in this city of rumors. There is
not shadow of truth in it. Mr. Buchanan
has not resigned, nor has he talked or thought
of resiguing; nor has any member of the ca
binet. The reason assigned, too, for his resig-
nation, is as fabulous as the report itself.
There is no difference of opinion in the cabi-
net ON the Oregon question. There never
was more harmonious cabinet, and there is
as little variety of opinion on all the great
questions which come before the present
cabinet, as in any Of its predecessors. We
are fully warranted in making this statement
in the most authentic and authoritative man

For the Kalida Venture.

THE ROADS. -.Mr. Editor: am happy to see
by your paper, that movement is making towards
efIoedng an improvement in the roads of our
county We have heretofore been singularly eg-
ligent of our own true interests in this particular.
The canal, which is now in operation, will be of
little use to our county, unless we have roads to
get to it. Nowis the time for efficient and united
action. Let all that portion of the citizens of the
Blanchard, Auglaize, and Ottawa valleys inter-
ested put their shoulders to the wheel, and each
conri butte his mite, and very passable road can
so on be made from Myers Mill to the Canal-and
thus secure to the farmers and merchants of the
country named an accessible market hope, Mr..
Editor, that public attention will BE called to this
matter, and that great benefit will result to that
large portion of our county interested, from the
proposed meeting.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. pleasant friend Dawson, OF
the Lima Reporter, very kindly ccndoles With us
that if we are " not gone coon, we are certainly
doomed democrat,' because of what he is pleas
ed to call our g independence" in permitting an
article to appear in our paper. censurng the time
serving of the State Convention held at Columbus
on the 4th instant. We beg leave to assure him
that this is quite mistake, there is no ndepend-
ence in the case worth speaking of; the people
here are sound hard money democrats, and we
have only echoed their sentiments. Now just let
half-and-half democrat come out this way. start
paper, preach soft money notions, Webster diplo-
macy, Oregon surrender, &c. and he would really
be independent. Nevertheless, we are inclined to
believe that it would be prof.less speculation -
Probably, however, the Reporter measures our
independence by the Wing standard; and, if SO,
WI are not at all surprised thathe gave us credit
for such an amount beyond our deserts.

MORE Beauties OF THE TARIFF SYSTEM

1t has been but few days since we an
nounced that the Merimack Manufacturing
Company had divided 20 per cent. upon their
capital stock for the last year, and now we
hear that, during the same year, they divide
10 per cent. additional out of their surplus
profits, reserving sufficient to build new mill,
which will be the largest in Lowell. The
capital stock Of the company is two millions
of dollars, and the amount made on the capi-
tai invested for the past year will, we should
think, range between seven hundred thou
sand and million of dollars. This is quite
a pretty little sum TO be poured into the

W Just as we predicted in our last the
only democratic lock-teuder on the Wabash
and Erie Canal has been discharged; and
for no other reason under Heaven than be-
cause he is a democrat. This, we are told,
is not done because the Engineer (who has
the dispensing of these small crums) has
aught against the present lock-tender; but
because, as he says, the leaders of the party
demand the dismissal of every democrat, no
matter how honest and faithful he may be-

While the Tax Bill of last session was
pending in the Senate, proposition was
adopted, levying tax on all household furnl-
ture, gold and silver, jewelry, &C., belonging
TO any person or firm, amounting, in the ag,
gregate, to four hundred dollars. In the
House of Representatives, this amendment
to Kelley's Tax Bill, so just in itself, was
stricken out, and another substituted, declar'
ing that the furniture of every description
used in boarding house, tavern or hotel
except the kitchen and dining room furni'
ture necessary for the family, shall be taken
and deemed as stock in trade, aad taxed ac.
cordingly. Under this amendment, the scanty
furniture of tavern or boarding house is
subject to taxation, while that of the banker
with his silver plate and rich carpets--his
costly sideboards and luxurious sofas-his
rich jewelry, &C., though they may amount
to as many thousands as the furniture of the
boarding house keeper does to tens, yet it is
exempt from taxation. Why this is so--what
Justice is in it-and what excuse can be gi-
ven for such partial and unjust legislation
are matters which the federal members of the
Legislature must answer.

TExAs.--The welcome which is extended
to Texas, by the Democracy of the country,
onthe occasion Of her admission 10 the Union,
is every where of the most ardent kind.
When the intelligences reached Buffalo, a
spontaneous meeting of the Democracy OF
that city took place at the Court House. II
was one of the largest and most enthusiastic
meetings ever held there. The vast assem-
blage seemed to be animated by one spirit
oipatriolism. The resolutions which breathe
the true spirit of Democracy, were received
with acclamation. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Messrs. w. l.. G. Smith, G. w.
Clinton, and H. w. Rogers, with marked
effect. The Importance of the step of an
nexation to our country in either contingency.
of war or peace, was eloqueutly portrayed
Previous to the organization of the meeting
in the Conrt House, 80 guns were fired in
the Park. 1t was soon found that the Court
House was too small for the crowd assembled
and it adjourned into the Park. From the
series of resolutions adopted on the occasion
we select the following as sample Of the
spirit which peryades the whole:
Resolved, That we rejoice in this brilliant
triumph of the cause Of humanity, this victory
Of honest diplomacy over the intrigues o
European powers, and the arlfices Of theiI
servants; that the general result has illus
trated the Texan character as above the reach
of corruption and contemning menaces
Texas has obeyed the voice of honor and the
dictates of that enlarged policy which seeks
the good of the world, and we take her ia
our bosom as worthy of our confidence and
love, and declare that nought shall separate
us, for by our union with her, we are one and
indvsible, now and forever.-N. Y. Mews.

"sThere exists joint title, which has re-

technical precision in legal language is admit
rable. A title resolving itselfinto something

ANYTHING but annihilation. Ifnot used, they
may lapse, or be barred by limitation, or, in
other words, expire; and this is the only
species of resolution which they may reach
Of themselves. Nor does this apply to ma
tional title or territory, for nations never die,

title so acquired must be used within rea-
sonabe time. But when once used, 1t is
permanent, and defeasible only by conquest
or cession. Has the American title TO Ore

occupation, and that which they acquired by
cession, is permanent against every thing but
conquest or cession. Hence the American
title, once several, has resolved itself into
neither joint title, nor anything less than
joint title. In despite of any self-resolution,
it still remains a several title. Has it been
resolved into anything else, by any act OF
the owner? We have already said that it
has not. Therefore the British have no
Joint title in Oregon, either by selfresolution,

itself into joint occupancy, ii has ceased to
be joint title; and therefore this learned
journal contradicts itself in saying that an
English joint title still exists. Mere occu-
pancy or possession may not give any title,
for it may be adverse TO the party possessing
the title, or it may be under some stipulation
which expressly excludes title from the party
permitted TO occupy. This last is precisely
the species of occupation which we have
granted to the English by treaty; an occupa-
ton expressly saving our tide"
