protection. Walker has defined what protection is, closely that if duty of twenty per cent on cot tons would bring two millions of duty, and twenty one per cent. nineteen hundred thousand and 99 dollars and ninety nine and one half cents it would be impossible for revenue man to advocate tWen- ty-one per cent! 3 The people have got the idea into their heads, and they will carry it out. The President took the stand for revenue, and the Sec retay of the Treasury tooftei out the question II the ballot box is to add up it's merits the result Will be triumphant proof The great pillar ot illustra- ton drawn from the prosperity of English policy, has fallen away. Walkers report is now in the hands of every citizen of England. The govern mcnt has shown its worth by re-publishing il. At the meetings in Manchester, al Liverpool, at Dub lin, and a hundred other towns, the speakers have read it to assembled thousands. Il has rent the air with shouts for free trade and free government Whocan withstand this mighty current of opinion Who qc0ud withstand it, to sink reputation and fame forever beneath it?
 Passing to an equally serious topic, heard, yes tcrday evening, that celebrated divine, Rev. Dr. Bethune. His text was from 18th chap.

COL. ASilLEY's COMMITTEE.


 Although, the su4joined letter from Col. Ashley, is addressed 10 Us, il was sent to Wm F. Woodruff, Esq, Chairman ofthe Col's committee, and by him copied and handed to us for publication. This letter is good enough in its place, but does not show any great ability in the Original writer; and we think perhaps that, although the committee have smoolhed and polished it considerably whilst in their hands, yet the language is not altogether uniimhy, or the opinions ad- vanced entirely naa There are but few, however, we believe, that would suspect t in the least as coming from the pen of BAN CROFT, WEBSTER OF an EVERETT.

The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1846-12-19

Mr.. SEnpLr offered a resolution, cal
ling on the President for Information as
to the manner Of transmitting letters
to and from the volunteers in Mexico,
and as to whether any additional reg
ulations are necessary.
The Senate adjourned over to Mon
day. 69
In the House, Mr.. DAVIS modified
his resolution so as to make further
call upon the President. to inform the
House Of the object IN view in the pros
ecution Of the war--whether conquest
or not--and to what extent il was de-
signed 10 carry it. Also, that the in
formation be received by the House
with closed doors.
l The debate was continued until the
House also adjourned to Monday.

The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1846-12-19

The change in public sentiment since
the Presidents message in regard to
the Mexican war is truly astonishing.
The people almost without division con-
cur in the course pursued by the Presi-
dent, while some of the crack-brained
federal politicians are getting more
frantic, il possible, at their blighted pros
poets of making as much political capi-
tai out ofthe war as they anticipated.
We may soon expect 10 see them is
sue second edition ofcoffin hand-bills.
Desperate must be the cause that needs
such weapons to insure ITS success.

We are glad that it is customary for
all papers TO publish the Presidents
nrrsouge. Many subscribers to feJer-
al papers will get to read some whole
some truths which they would not see
in the editorials Of federal papers. II
every citizen reads the message, we
have no fears Of public opinion being
against The war. Hundreds are alrea-
dy saying that they did not know how
much cause we had to go TO war with
Mexico, before reading the message
The cause Of this is, the federal papers
have carefully avoided publishing any
thing against Mexico, for fear Of justi-
fying the President. But truth and
Justice will prevai!.-Siatesmdn.

Ohio Legislature.

The Senate, this mornig, engrossed
the bill repeating the registry law, BY
a vote Of 10 10 l5--party vote, with
the exception Of Mr.. Beaver, whig.
who voted with the democrats. We
are glad this registry law is doomed to
repeal. IL has been of no earthly use.
except TO saddle the people with an un-
necessary expense. The repeal was
ably advocated by Messrs. Olds and
Ewing.
Mr.. Reemein's resolution in refer
ence to printing documents in the Ger
man language, was recommitted TO the
committee on Public Printing.
In the House Of Representa,ives,Mr.
Vallandigham presented series ofres.
olutions on our affairs with Mexico.
Mr.. v. sustained them in one of the
best OF his speeches. He established,
to the satisfaction of every unprejudi-
ced m nd. the fact that our government
was clearly in the right, and that the
President had done nothing but what
his duty as an American President
compelled him to do, to sustain the ho-
nor Of our country and the rights OF
our citizens. Hehandled Gov. Bebb's
| Mexican manifesto ably and most Sc
vereIy, as it justly deserved.
Mr.. Russell, Of Harrison. was pu,
forward to reply to Mr.. Vallandigham
upon the resolutions; and after about
thirty-fve minutes spent IN the mos'
awful specimen Of B"mbastes Furioso
ever heard IN the Hall, exploded, in
consequence ofthe heat. No attemp,
was made by Mr.. R., however, to re-
ply to even one argument advanced
by Mr.. Vallandigham. MIR. VS. argu
ments were unanswerable.
| Mr. Smith, Of Hamilton, replied 4

The Messages.

These documents occupy our col
umns to the exclusion of almo st every
thing else. Though we have no doubt
our readers will be satisfied with this
arrangement, as all are anxious to see
these important State Papers.
President .PoLK's message is very
lengthy document, and, as might be ex-
pected, is principally occupied in a dis.
cussion OF fhe causes which led to the
war with Mexico. After careful pe-
rusal Of the message, we think all i'm
partial readers must come to the con-
clusion that those who denounce the
war with Mexico as unrIghteous and
unjust are traitors to their country.
The conclusion Of Gov. BartIey's
message will be found on the fourth
page. The Ex-Governor is out in favor
Of the repeal Of the Black Laws, as
well as in favor Of dscouraging a fur
ther emigration to this State Of a color
edpopulauon. This is kind oi soon
Trajectory philanthropy" which we
know nothing about. q3haa
We will publish Gov. Bebb's Inau-
gural in our next. He alsois out in
favor of a repeal of the Black Laws.

s1onated my misfortunes, and each ADVISED
different application one recommended
oil, another water, but all agreed that wine
was the best for drawing out the fire; and
a glass of cherry was brought me from the
sideboard, which snatched up with eager
ness: but O.! how shall tell the sequel
Whether the butler by accident, mistook or
purposely designed to drive me mad, he
gave me the, strongest brandy, with which |
filled my mouth, already fayed and blis
tered Totally unused to every kind Of ar
dent spirits, with tongue, throat and palate
as raw as beet, what conld Idos could
not swallow, and clapping my hands up
on my mouth, the cursed liquor squirted
through my nose and fingers like fountain,
over all the dishes; and |, crushed by bursts
Of laughter from all quarters. In vain did
Sir Thomas reprimand the servants, and lady
Friendly chide her daughters for the meas
ure Of my shame and their diversion was
not yet complete. To relieve me from the
intolerable state Of perspiration which this
accident had caused, without considering
what ! did, wiped my face with that i'll
lated handkerchief, which was still wet from
the consequence of the fall Of Xenophon,
and covered all my features with streaks of
ink in every direction. The baronet him
self could not support this shock, but JOIN
ed his lady in the general laugh; while |
sprung from the table in despair, rushed out
Of the house, and ran home in an agony Of
confusion and disgrace, which the most
poignant sense Of guilt could have excited.
Thus, without having deyiated from the
path Of moral rectitude, | am suffering tor
ments like a "goblin damn'd." The lower
half Of me has been almost boiled, my
tongue and mouth grilled, and ! bear the
mark Of Cain upon my forehead /: yet these
are but trihng considerations, to the ever
lasting shame which must feel, whenever
this adventure shall be mentioned
