ADJOURNED.

The Legislature, alter a serious session Of
doing nothing of Importance, adjourned on last
Monday. If the people had Whig Legisla-
lures eternally, they would never receive the
enactment of any laws calculated as general
good to all. Special Legislation for the rich
is their well learned and pleasing task. All
Wings are not chargeable with this crused in
famous crime; but the leaders, those who have
been Leglslating for some time past have
proven to be of that very kind. They have
been working wholly and alone for their own
aggrandizement. at the expense of those who
sent them to transact their business. We will
shortly be able to give list of the many acts
passed, but none of consequence.

HOLD YOUR TEMPER!

Bachelor and his opponent run right togeth-
er and were arguing the same points so close
ly, and still protesting to be at outs, that we
thought proper to notice them, believing they
had about finished the question:; and in our
notice the following extract from the rancorous
bachelor appeared. THAT many of the ladies
are amiable accomplished ornaments to soci-
ETY., crowns of rejoicing to their husbands,
and every way worthy to be called angels Of
mercy The man that will admit all this and
still argue that bacherlor's life is better
than married one, is either knave or fool,
and we think the latter. Our notice caused
the fellow to rave like q mad bull. He
is not an honorable bachelor, but is one from
the fact that his dear love- considered his
mean, sneaking and contemplate peevishness
mirited refusal; and we think it an imposi-
tion upon the honorable body denomnated
Bachelors to be infested with the out cast of
creation. We know the thing to be perfectly
love sick at this time, and rather than not
speak of the ladies' will talk against them,
but occasionally thinks they are crowns OF
rejoing to husband yea, even ANGELS
Beautiful expressions for one to make while
contending IN behalf of a single life.
Oh! no Mr.. Bachelor, we assure you could
we but hear of you and all others that belong
to your class getting married, aud thereby
proving yourself to be man possessed of the
feelings of human being, we would with
pleasure notice your wedding, and would give
the best puff we are capable of framing, free
of charge, either cake, money, ssourcrout or
speck.' But we fear such will never be the
case, for
"You can't get a wife, You are alone,
Unsought, unhappy and unknown;
Your days pass by, no pleasure give,
On earth you stay, but do not lire,
Get wife. no 1T is not so,
Your days are numbered here below;
You soon must go whence none return,
The ladies will ne 'er have cause 10 mourn"

DR.. n. r.. ADAMS

Gave a very interesting and instructive lec-
ture, on the mysteries Of Electricity, in the
Court house, last evening. His manner Of
lecturing is more instructive than lectures
generally; for he simply6es every thing, so that
all are capable of understanding. His ap-
is very neat, and aids much in dispelling
from the mind, many erroneous thoughts, the
idea Of greaslng the wire and sliding along
it, &c.
The Doctor willlecture this evening again;
and we would advise every person wishing
to know something of the operations of
Morse's Magnetic Telegraph, to turn out and
hear him, at Ga o'clock. Colts Sub Marine
Battery will also be exploded, showing won
ders that can better be seen than described.
Give him hearing, this EVENING. VA

BACHELOR.
For the Pioneer.

MR. EDIToR.-In your paper Of last week
signed Bachelor Though old, he has not
we'll employed his time, or he would be wise,
and handle "a delicate subject delicately and
not in so bungling manner as he has.
We think we know something of this 'old
one,' and have at least heard of his desires to
figure among the fair sex and opine that it is
not through want Of efforts ON his part to be
married, that he is now what he is, viz:
bach helor.
Grapes in the fable, became sour when the
cute fox could not reach them, so also are the
W omen cross and growing and the 'babies'
unpleasant, because he cannot come it, hence
the dislike which he evinces toward the mar
ried state.
We have heard of those who knew nothing
about their father, or scarcely whether they
had any, consequently could not be blamed if
they reverenced no one as father; yet rarely
have we heard of those who had no mother,
and think any man ought to have had pretty
pOO0 evidence tIldt ue HeveT Lau OHt, UcIOTc
he could speak of woman as Mr.. B. has. Ifhe
has mother, she evidently don't know he's
out
We wonder not at his dislike to children,
especially in churches, because he has good
precedent. Children we're brought 10 the
Saviour that he might lay his hands upon
them and pray; the disciples rebuked them:
Jesus said suffer them to come and forbid
them no.; yet this old one still rebukes and
forblds them coming to church.
AS hinted above, we think his dislike to
woman and children results entirely from his
failure to obtain Or possess the same, and we
venture to affirm for him, that he would will
lngly exchange all he possesses of this
worlds goods or pleasures for wife and one
or two of these same 'little crying oabies'
that so much mar his peace at church, and
we believe they would not only serve the pur-
pose which they now do THAT of keeping him
awake in church,) but would also cheer up
his crusty spirits till he would talk and write
more like man.

THE PIONEER.
UPPER sANDUsKY, FEB. 1s, 1s47.
LONG DELAY.

The Tiffin Standard, after long delay
probably just sufficient time to give expression
to his "recent developments" which have fin.
ally set hlm right, sends forth yolley of tre-
mendous fire at Col. McCutchen, as though he
was going to end his days, at least politically.
The editor should be sparing, as he thinks
"lnfatuaton" led Col. into the very extraordi-
nary situation he is now in, and remember
what "infatuation" often leads men into, even
prosecuting womaa for breach Of promise.
Had the Col. ever been placed in such situa-
ton as the last named, probably he would have
been much more reflective, and not rushed
right into things without that forethought ne
cessary to secure this high minded gentleman's
good opinion.
We will give quotation from the Mr.. Edi-
tor of of the Standard, with small correction,
which in our opinion will make the sentence
more perfect, coming from the source it does.
He should have said "a dear GIRL" instead Of
"the dear people," The following is the SEN
tence we refer to-:
"To what extremes infatuation will some
times lead man; particularly when he is an
anxious expectation for the reception of some
favor which is in the gift of IA dear girl the
dear people,"
The article in the Standard admits that Col.
did labor long with congress for appropria
tons for the public buildings, but thinks it was
for his own "pecuniary ends" Does not the
appropriation operate as much to the pecunary
condition of all other citizens of Wyandot
county as it does to that of Col McCutchen!
1t certainly does, and yet that article would
like to make some 'buncom' out Of it, but must
fail in the attempt. r
Col. M. stated in his remarks, that many of
the federal party would rejoice to see the en-
emy cutting the throats of such Americans as
would stand up and defend their country, and
the Standard remarks, "We suppose that such
is even true of the federalsts he has aitasion
To-" Well we think his supposit ion, so far as
this supposition goes is perfectly correct; and
that the Editor is one of the number; for the
tory sentiments he published along in the sum-
mer were enough to stamp him such without
anything more. 'The tory wings of Gen. Tay-
lor's army las the Standard calls theml are
generally Patriotic Democrats.
The Standard had better never mention r.
Dickinson again, after verdict of eighte en- Or
twenty hundred of the people have been given
against its foul ISLANDERS; and those people too,
living right in the neighborhood where the
frauds were said to have been committed OH
shame on such sophistry.
The comments in the Standard, headed
"Racy Locoioco Correspondence" we're more
than likely produced here and sent to Tffin,
and inserted in that paper as editorial. We
DO not say chat such was really the case, but
believe as we please.
