Of the valley ofSalt creek, to the town OF Zanes.
willie 10 Muskingum county where the Central Ohia
Railroad (by the charter) has its last fixed point.
And your Petitioners viii ever pray, SC,
The following resolutions were thereupon adopt.
ed:
Whereas, experience has demonstrated the i'm,
portance of securing cheep and speedy access from
the rich grain growing counties of Central Ohio to
the markets Of the Atlantic, which shall not be H.
able 10 Interruptions from the frosts of winter and
the Drought of summer
And whereas The completion of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad to the Ohio river, and its speedy
extension into the interior of Ohio, will afford the
shortest, cheapest and best means Of exchanging
the abundant agricultural productions of Ohio for
the manufactures and articles of INNER af the
Atlantic States. Therefore r,..l-,4
Resolved, That the interests of central Ohio i'm.
peratively demand the construction Of a road to be
known as the Sun6sh, Wills creek and Masking
um Railroad; from a point opposite the mouth OF
Fish creek, in Virginia, through the counties of
Monroe, Guernsey and M~uskingum. to Zanesville.
Resoiued, That the interior OF the State of Ohio
being almost entirely cut off from all .communica-
ton with the east and all access to the Eastern
arketduring nearly one half of the year, presents
the most irresistible claims upon the Legislature
OF the State to grant a liberal charter to construct
the Railroad above recommended. H1t1 sg
Resolved, That this meeting pledge its bes. en-.
ergies, to the counties through which the road
passes, in raising funds for the prosecution of the
Sunfsh, Wills creek and Muskingum Railroad,
and look with confidence to the Baltimore s. Ohio
Railroad Company to aid in promoting a work
which must result in the mutual benefit of Mary
land, Virginia, and Ohio.
Resofred, That In the opinion of this meeting,
the interests of the Commercial and Travelling
community require a survey of the Sunfsh and
Wills creek rout.
Resolued, That we as citizens of Ohio feel on.
posed to any and all routs for railroads which run
any considerable distance parallel with the Ohio
canal, National road, or other great public works
OF this State, thereby rendering such works less
productive. u
Resolued, That while we believe that Ohio
should have a railroad to connect with the Balti.
more g. Ohio Railroad, re also believe that the in
terest OF Ohio, and the facilities of trade and travel
should be kept in view in the location and con.
of said ruad. ..t.N.
On motion it was ordered that proceedings be
signed by the officers and published in the Spirit of
Democracy.
On motion, the meeting adjourned until Thurs
day, the goth inst. ..r no.

Ohio legislature.

The doings OF the Ohio Legislature have been
oisuch an undressing character, that we have
not thought il necessary to occupy much space
to record its proceedings. Almost the whole time
has been occupied in local IegisIation-in passing
or debating resolutions lauding the presen. bank.
ing system, and in abuse of the present administra.
ton aud the war. True, some portion of the
members have endeavored tn procure the passage
OF laws of general interest, but they have mostly
been unsuccessful.
The Bill to divide the State into Senatorial and
Representative Districts, has at length been report
ed. And such a Bill! The wings have uniformly
expressed a determination ia make a fair appor-
-tionment; but if the bill, as reported, is a fair and
honest apportionment, we confess we are at a loss
how to imagine a dishonestone. In the first place,
in order to secure one whig Senator and two whig
Representatives from Hamilton county, the Bill
provides that some eight wards in the city of Gin
cinnati shall be entitled to one Senator and two
Representatives. These wards we believe, are
wing; whilst the balance of the county is largely
democratic. A division of counties, in forming
districts, we believe to be unconstitutional, and
should this wing legislature pass such a bill, we
should much regret to stand in their places, after
having taken an oath, or s,oorn to support the con-
%stitution of the State.

Railroad Meeting.

At meeting OF the citizens of Woodsfeld and
vicinity, held in the court house, on Thursday the
9Th inst, the following proceedings were had.
The committee appointed to memorabilia the
Legislature of Ohio, upon the subject Of chartering
a company to construct a Railroad from a point on
the Ohio river opposite the mouth ofFish creek in
Va, to GAINESVILLE, made a report, accompanied
with maps, charts, sc. together with a petition to
be signed and presented to the Legislature, and al
SO a form nj charter for said company. The fol.
lowing is a copy of said Petition:
To the Honorable the Senators and Representa-
tives Of the General Assembly fa 3'f
The undersigned citizens of Monroe county,
Ohio, would respectfully ask your Honorable body
to grant a charter, or incorporate a company, by
the name and style of the Suntfsh, Wills creek,
and Muskingum, Railroad Company, to con-
struct a Railroad commencing on the Ohio river at
or near a point in Monroe County, Ohio, opposite
the mouth Of Fish Creek in Virginia, where, tits
believed, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will strike
the Ohio river, thence to the town Of Clarington,
in Monroe county, thence by the way Of the valley
OF Sun6sh creek to the town of Woodsield in said
county Of Monroe, thence to continue by the way
ofths valley ofSunfsh creek, thence by the way
Of the valley OF Wills creek, thence by the way

"Aid and Comfort"

In the Senate OF the United States, on the 18th
inst, Mr. Hale. o fNew Hampshire presented a
memorial o~fupwards of twen!y-nine hundred Min
listers and Laymen Of the Unitarian denomination,
praying the adoption o~fpacifc measures for termi-
mating the war with Mexico, and the reparation
Of all wrongs that may have been done by the Uni
ted States to that Republic; which was referred to
the committee on foreign relations.
The above presents a true picture Of the feelings
and views of the tory party in this country. They
have sympathy to lavish upon the guerillas OF Mex
leo, but none for their country. They can pray
tor the reparation of Mexico's tOrongs, (D but the
injuries sustained by our citizens may go unre-
dressed. Truly we have fallen upon strange times.

Gen. Lewis Cass.

With high satisfaction we nail to our mast head
the name Of Gen. LEWIS CASS, as the first
choice of the democracy of Ohio, for President oil
the United States. With Gen. Cass for our stan.
dard bearer, in the coming contest, the democracy
OF Ohio will gloriously triumph.
da Any of our readers DESTROYS of %perusing a bio
graphical sketch of the public services OF Gen.
Cass, can qe gratihed by referring to the files Of
this paper. About one year ago re published a
sketch of the life and services Of this distinguished
individual, then believing that IN Gen. Cass, the
democracy of Ohio, and the Union, would find a
statesman whom they would delight to honor.

COL John B. Weller.

The nomination ofCol. Weller as the democrat
ic candidate for Governor of Ohio, is hailed with
enthusiasm throughout the entire State. Althd'
the wings may affect to be well pleased at his nom
ination, yet when they feel the effects of his pow
erful eloquence on the stump, during the coming
campaign, they will change their tune. Colonel
Weller was among the very first to obey his coun.
try's call, and march to the battlefields OF Mexico.
The good service rendered by him at the storming
Of Monterey. will only be equalled by the well.di.
rected blows which he will deal against the enc
mics at home.
