- From the Kentucky Yeoman.
Col. B, n. IOAnsOH'S Opinion.

On "Wednesday last, this veteran hero
and patriot, being undeterred by the snow
storm, made a business visit to our town,
and dvEiDg his stay dropped in to see US.
We took the opportunity of calling the
old hero out upon the subject of the war.
and the political issue growing out of il.
With all the energy and animation which
characterize his conversation. when the
honor OF his country ia involved, he de.
clared his opinion that the war on our part
with Mexico was unavoidable. He said
that the last wa.r with Great Britain, al
though justified by many outrages on her
part, could have been avoided with honor,
though he causes being amply sufficient
TOR the declaration, he had voted for that
war, and to prove his sincerity as to its
justice, Immediately left his seat in Con.
gress, and entered the field with others
ofhis countrymen. But he declared this
war could not have been avoided with
honor, and went on to give his reasons at
some length, recapitulating the facts-not
as stated by the opposilion--b but as they
are to be found in the public documents.
tie is in favor of taking enough of the
conquered territory ofMexico to indemnify
us for the sPoliations before the war, and
for reasonable expenses since, believing
that as MEXICO forced the war upon US,
that she is GSound rot only by the laws
which govern civilized nations, but by
the strict principles Of justice, TO pay to
our government such indemnify. He
declared he would never give his sanction
to the ratification of any treaty which did
alot only make provision for such iudem.
ni'y, but provide for security for the future.
In regard to she withdrawal of our troops
90 any specified boundary, the Colonel
humorously remarked, it would be he like
turning them out of Mexico, followed by
the rouge's march; that the civilized
world woUld call us robbers, and say that
it would he an acknowledgment on our
part that We had been guilty of great in
justice. He declared that he believed it
would take more men and money to
protect such line as is proposed by MIR.
Clay, ColhOun & Co., than it would re.
quire to hold military possession of the
country: and as our own good soldiers,
aided 10y the Divine appreciation, had
virtually conquered the best part of Mex
leo. il was our duty to hold all We had
gained, until We secured such treaty as
we had an undoubted right to expect. He
is also in favor ofrequiriug the payment
of military contributions to the full extent
ofthe ability ofthe enemy to pay. Upon
the whole, we found the veteran main.
tanning all the democratic grounds, and

The Settlers Meeting at ottawa.

| 4AO bOepApAS 1AOOSsAo ~ OssoU0e
In another column Ofto.day'spaper,we
publish what purports to be, the proceed.
ings of public meeting Of the Settlers on
the Canal Lands, which was held at Or
tawa, on the oath ult. To show the man.
ner in which this meeting is viewed by
the mass Of the citizens of Ottawa, we
take the following extracts from an article
in the Free Trader, commenting upon the
meeting:
sit is due to cay that this meeting vas
very thinly attended, and that several
names occur among its proceedings ofmen
who were not at the meeting. and who
utterly discountenance the whole move
ment. Nor do the resolutions adopted at
the meeting express the views entertained
by even respectable portion of the set
tiers in this region. =
"The violence of Feeling in this matter
that might be supposed to exist here from
the tone of the resolutions we publish to
day, we can assure all who are ignorant
on the subject, is pure gasconade--noth.
ing OF the kind exists here-and this abor.
tive effort to get up such feeling, has
only tended to'bring contempt on its orig
inators."
We would not have deemed it necessa.
ry to refer TO this matter, were it not for
the imputat;ons which are epdeavored to
be cast upon the Appraisers, by the reso.
lutions of a so called, "public meeting."
which, perhaps, by some would be con.
sidered of more weight than mere news
paper charges. The extracts from the
Free Trader, show with what respect the
originators of this movement are regard
ed, and the confidence that the people of
that region have in the integrity of the
Appraisers. Notwithstanding the maIg
nifty and bitterness ofthe assaults which
have been made upon the Appraisers by
the whig press, and the uncalled for, un.
founded and false insinuations advanced
by the resolutions oftbis meeting, we have
not heard the first individual speak in re.
gard to the matter, who has not express.
sed the most unbounded confidence in their
honesty, and ability to perform their duties
correctly, which, all must admit, are sur
rounded by perplexing difficulties.
These attempts to interfere with the DIN.
ties of the Appraisers, should be discoun.
tenanced by every good citizen. They
have delicate and important task before
them. and that they will be impartial in
conclusions, has been proven by the high
ly satisfactory manner with which they
have acquitted themselves in the important
trusts which the people have confded to
them heretofore. The interests of the
State and the rights of the settlers, will be
cafe in their hands, and we doubt not that
the appraisements which will be made by
them will give satisfaction to every rea.
sondble man. 1t is unnecessary for us to
pursue this subject further at present. 1t
is enough for US to know that the apprais.
ers are "honest and capable" which is a |
sufficient rebuke to their base defamers
and villifiers. whose actions are governed
by selfish and corrupt designs.

ford. We intended to have said some.
thing in regard to this communication of
49," but were prevented by want of time.
After examining it carefully. we deemed
1t inadmissable for several reasons. One
of which was.the matter of which it treats
is to be the subject of judicial investga-
ton in this county. Involving as i, does,
the deepest interests of the community
and the individual charged, ii is calculated
to excite the public mind. As our laws
treat all as innocent until proved guilty
as the principles of justice demand fair
and impartial trial by jury, for the accu-
sed, the conductors ofthe public press are
bound by the most solemn obligations to
avoid all such action as would tend to in.
fame the public mind, or in any degree
create prejudices that would embarrass
the impartial action of our courts of Jus.
lice in the premises. Another reason
that induced US to withhold the communi.
cation was its remarks upon the Justices
who presided at the examination and the
individuals who had become bail in the
case, which we deemed too personal and
severe. Ignorant as we confess ourselves
to be, of the facts of the case, and from
limited acquaintance with the persons re.
terred to, our sense of justice, forbid the
insertion of so severe structure upon
them.
The objects of the public press, in our
judgment, is to inform the public mind,
rather than to censure individuals for SUP.
posed acts of improperly. The duty par.
amount to all others, is to preserve the
ermine of justice free from impurity;there.
fore, all structures that precede trial in
aggravated cases, are calculated to bias
public opinion, and fix prejudices in the
minds of individuals, liable to be called
upon as jurors, that tend to clog and i'm.
pede the administration of justice, and
consequently should be avoided.
