THE COLUMBIAN MAGAzINE.-We have received
and glanced at the February number Of this real
y excellent periodical. The literary character of
the Columbian has shown progressive advance
ment unoqualled by any Magazine in the Union.
The tales in the present Number especially Fan
ny Forrester's ''Rug Raffles'' and the "Married
Life of a Good Fellow" by H. Hastings Weld,
besides containing excellent delineations of
character, eschew the morbid sentimentality,
which makes reading of fiction pernicious and
unhealthy: The general character of articles
show that the Editors of this periodical have cal
led into their service some of the most accom-
plshed writer's of Elegant literature in our coun-
try. The number before us is unpublished with
two beautiful mezzotint engravings. New York;

THE UNITED STATES JOURNAL, has gone into the
hands of H. H. Robinson Esq, as Editor Mr..
Robinson, has for some time past been associat-
ed in the Editorial department of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, is an Efficient and fearless writer, and
in his present position will do good service in
the cause of the People. On the currency ques.
ton he occupies the same proud position honored
by Washington, and Jefferson, and Jackson
and for which the Democracy of Ohio, are now
contending. Under the n ew arrangement the
name of the journal is changed to that of the
" Times" and in his salutation the new editor
promises to support the present administration.

ga DANIEL COME TO JuDGMENT."-Daniel Brown
the apostate dolt, who misrepresents the noble
Democracy OF Seneca County in the House o
Representatives was on the fourth of February
repudiated and handed over to the Federalists by
meeting ever held in the County. Daniel boast.
ed that he would give Seneca County to the Rag.
Barons! But the County gave him up to the con-
tempt and scorn of the noble constituency whom
he had deceived. A slight mistake.

MARK THE REcREANr.-Samuel Vinton is the
only member of Congress from Ohio, so recre.
ant to the interests and feelings of the West, as
to vote against giving the notice to terminate the
joint occupancy of the Oregon territory. Let him
be marked and branded Will Corwin follow in
the footsteps of Vinton, or will he listen to the
dictates of justice and patriotism, and go with
the Democracy for the immediate notice, and the
s'whole loaf?" These are questions deeply in.
teresting to Mr.. Corwin's onstituency just now.

Cheering News frem Washington
Oregon Resolutions Passed.

1t gives us sincere pleasure to announce that
the Resolutions, instructing the President to give
the notice provided for in the Convention of 1927,
for the termination of the joint occupancy of the
Oregon Territory, has finally passed the House
of Representatives, by vote of one hundred and
sixty three for, to fifty-four against. The ques-
ton has been under debate for months hs-seventy or
eighty speeches have been delivered upon it, and
the interest felt in its decision both in and out OF
Congress, has surpassed any thing ever known in
the annals Of our country, The vote in the House
is cheering. Il promises well for the measur in
the Senate. The resolutions it is thought must
pass that body in substantially the same shape as
are in the ascendant;-let them present an un-
broken front to the traitors at home and the ene-
mics abroad, and there need be no fears enter
tanned for the country.
The following are the Resolutions as they pass
ed
JOINT RESOLUTION of notice to Great Bri-
tain to annul and abrogate" the co,lven-
ton between Great Britain and the United
States of the sixth of August, eighteen
hundred and twenty-seven, relative to the
country con the northwest coast of Ame-
rca, westward of the Stony mountains"
commonly called Oregon.
Resolred By the Senate and House Of Re-
personalities of the United States Of Ame
RIGA in Congress assembled, That the Presi-
dent of the United States cause notice tobe
given to the government of Great Britain,
that the convention between the Unlied
States of America and Great Britain, con-
cerning the territory on the northwest coast
of America, west of the Stony or Rocky
mountains, of the sixth day of August eigh-
teen hundred and twenty-seven, signed at
London, shall be annulled and abrogated
twelve months after giving said notice.
Resolped, That nothing herein contained
is intended to interfere with the right and
discretion of the proper authorities of the
two contracting parties to renew or pursue
negotiations for an amicable settlement of
the controversy respecting the Oregon terri
tory.

The prospects for the democracy are grow
ing better and better. The various county
meetings are large and enthusiastic. All
are determined to do their best. They feel
that they are standing upon the ground Of
truth and that success must follow. The
news from all parts Of the state is Of the most
cheering kind. The history of the present
campaign in Ohio will resemble that of 1914
in the Uuion. The present, however, opens
far more favorable than that. The news of
the contentious in the Baltimore Conven-
ton and Of the nomination of James X. Polk
struck the party with dlsmay throughout the
country. Defeat stared us in the face, divis-
ion and dsorganization were looked upon as
certain. But in few weeks the democracy
rallied to the conflict. They remembered
that the contest was for principles not men,
and relying upon the strength of their prin-
ciples they triumphed. And thus it is at
present. That enthusiasm, to which the
bold avowal of the truth always gives birth,
is becoming apparent.
The subject has carried US farther than
was our frs: intention, which was to intro
duce the following extract from letter from
distinguished democrat Of Canton. 1t is
one among numerous evidences of the state
Of feeling which is being aroused.
"In this region, the clouds are hourly
clearing away, and the sky becoming bright
er, in the great cause Of truth and demo-
cracy. believe we shall increase our vote
for Tod at the next election. This may
surprise you. But wait, see, and believe"

The GOLD DoLLAR.-Since the suggestion
for the introduction of the gold dollar to our
currency some few years since, there seems
to have been general expression of regret
that it was not carried out; and the renewal
of the proposition to the present Congress is
hailed with universal satisfaction. 1t will be
quite popular coin, if it does not get lock-
ed up too rapidly in the vaults ofbanks; aud
under our present post office system it would
prove quite convenient medium of transfer
TO that amount from one part of the Union
to another, without fear of depre citation, and
indeed with some probability ofinding itself
at premiumat the place of its destination
There are many other covcniences which we
Happrehend will be associated with the advent
of this interesting little coin, while it will
help to add one more national feature, and
that of the right sort, 10 our currency. The
ladies are particularly desirous for its intro
duction, as it will adapt itself to their use
and convenience, it is hoped to the exclu-
sion Of heavy silver change, and the dirty
paper which abounds as a medium Of dollar
presentations.

We do hope that Congress will speedily au-
thorze the coming of the gold dollars. This
will be stoutly opposed by the shinplaster
makers. But let the good work progress
They would abolish all the silver change in
the country, for the purpose of creating
for their rags of smaller deuomina-
tions; and in this effort they will receive the
aid of the wings of Ohio, together with their

ANOTHER NEW RAG FACToRY.-We have
just had peep at some of the new rags
lately put in circulation by the new shaving
shop at Marietta. This plundering machine
is termed Branch of the State Bank o.
Ohio" Every hundred dollars of the bills o
the Marietta Bank now in circulation, has
in the drawer Of the Cashier. or somewhere
else, onl y fifteen dollars to redeem it with
Every paper dollar of this rag factory is issued
on fifteen cents of constitutional money
This is the amount of specie required by its
charter. What can the community think oI
the safety, soundness and permanency o.
such swindling. We now, in the outset
caution our readers to be careful how long
you keep such trash on hand. We would
advise every one holding the notes of this,
or any other bank, based on so shall amount
of real capital-having SO small amount of
gold and slver-upon which they promise
TO pay, to run them back to the bank and
draw the hard for them. Put that in circul-
alton, and then the laboring classes, who are
unacqnainted with money, will be safe. I'm
less this course is pursued, those who are
incapable of telling good money from bad.
will,undoubtedly,be cheated out oftheir daily
pttance. The system upon which the State
Bank of Ohio is founded, is as corrupt as was
Sodom and Gomorrah, in the days Of Gods
Judgment, and must inevitably fail We
