New Counties,

Mr.. EDiroR:-The people of this coun-
ty are no doubt aware that two new coun.
ty projects, each clipping Monroe, will
come before the next Legislature. These
proposed new counties are naned Noble
and Grandview. Certain interf>,o,o,;o..
have been propounded to the candra,o.
for Representative. by the advocates ofh.
Noble county project, which they wish
answered These queries are as follows:;
LIST. If elected will you obey the will
Of your constituents on local questions:
I'd. AS large majority ofthe voters in
that part of Monroe county included in the
proposed new county of Noble did, last
winter, send up to the Legislature petitions
for the erection Of said Noble county, will
you comply with their prayer?
81 Sd. Who do you consider your con-
stituents on local questions? saalc
hope that Messrs. Morris and Johnston
will answer these questions in the next pa.

on this question, for they who vote for kep;
resentatives to the Legislature, and 40 not
vote on the question Of calling Conven-
ton. in reality, from the peculiar wording
ofthe Constitution, vote against the ProPo.
sition., This fact is well known to the en-
emies Of Reform, and on this loop in the
Constitution they hang their hope Of de-
feating the measure. This fact should be
explained, and the people made to UNDER
stand that other important fact, that even,
if the Convention when it meets, should
not adopt such Constitution as the peo.
pie need, or if they should engraft upon it
any proposition obnoxious to the feelings
Of the people or if any provision should
be deemed subversive Of popular liberty,
wrong or unjust, that the Constitution can
be rejected, for it never will, and never
can become the supreme law of the state,
until it passes the ordeal Of the popular will,
through the ballot boxes-until majority
of the voters, first accept it, at the annual
election. This fact known,-.fOr fact 1t is
will at once overthrow, the strongest objec-
ton yet raised to voting for Convention
to remodel the state Constitution. Until a,
new Constitution is ratified by the votes OF
the people, the present Constitution will re-
main in as full and binding force, asnow.

honest men could differ, and then, as now,
we thought and think, that the only way
to preserve order and maintain law, was

reference whatever to party will on either

Yet for this. our neighbor. with unblush-

honesty and its sincerity! But he is under

command the respect Of honest men, and
the cheer of every Wing unfed by treasury

Friends of a New Constitution to
yOur P0SlS.l

The enemies of Constitutional Reform
are at work to defeat the calling of Con-
vention to give Ohio new Constitution,
worthy her people, resources and station
at the head Of the great Northwest column.
They view the movement Of the masses in
favor of enlarged liberty, with as much a
larm, as did the honest down easter the
appliance Of steam to propel vessels, for
he argued, the Lord has made wind for
that very purpose, and it is flying in His
face, and reversing His DEGREES, to make
ships go by your taraai hot Dater!
The Fathers Of ou State, unwilling to
carry their untried experiment of mans
capabilty for selfgovernment to he full
length which we now would carry it, pin.
dently vested a large portion of the power
in the hands of the Legislature. Since
that time, experience hath shown the fall
lacy of such fears as operated on the
members of the Convention, which framed
the State Constitution for Ohio, and the
people have shown themselves a safer de-
pository of power than those into whose
hands it was entrusted, and yet, the con-
servative spirit Of the land, continually at
tempting to arrest the car OF progress, ar
que that to change the constitution now,
is to hy.in the face of the fathers Of the
State, and declare ourselves wiser than
they'll And are we not wiser2 We have

As well might a man be accused of disre-
spect to the memory of his father, who
would pull down the log cabin and erect a
substantial mansion in its stead, better
suited to the wants of his family, as to ac-
cuse those who wish to amend the errors
of the present organic law Of the State, OF
disrespect to the memory Of the men who
gave Ohio Constitution and changed the

From the Cleveland True Democrat
The ParaIIpI-Its AbSurdity.

Harris never moves peg that does not
betrav his ignorance, and show his heart
lessness. See his editorial of last even
ing. AS a specimen of quabblimg, 1t is
rich: as a sample of reasoning, contemp-
tible. An editor who play thus into the
hands of an adversary must ever prove
foil to his own party.
The article to VIII ch we refer is headed,
"The Non-Intervention Policy of the Free
-Democracy-An Editor Caught in his own
Trap"
The first thing which must strike every
intelligent Whig is the parallel drawn
Freedom, in its length and breadth, is put
in comparison with the local issue touch

of the party! Is this its spiritl If so the
sooner it perishes the better. That it is
the temper and spirit of the editor of the
! Herald, we fear, is but too true; tor the
man who would ten years ago bargain tor
Loco paper, and break the bargain be-
cause he could do better in Wing con-
cern, would as soon praise the Gar oi
Russ a, if paid for it, as condemn the

party he so blunderingly defends, by his
soulless. spirit.

stating that the President, in consequence
of some difficulty growing, out OF the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Rives, has ordered the
nassports of MIR. Poussin, the French Min
lister. TO be returned to his Excellency, and
so close all diplomatic intercourse with the
French republic. Agreater batch OF blum
ders could hardly be compressed in mar
rover compass. AS we have been for
some time we'll acquainted with the nature
ofthe difficulty between the two republics,
we shall state the general fact and PRICK
the bubble in its inception.
Soon after Mr.. Poussin arrived in this
country from France, he opened, or ex-
pressed desire to open, diplomatic cor
respondence with the Secretary OF State
(then Mr.. Buchanan on two very import
ant points. These points or topics. were:
FIRST. a more intimate and beneficial COM
mercial treaty between France and the
limited States, on the basis Of a generous
Reciprocity, which might increase the trade
of the two republics, beyond what it has
been Of late wears. The next important
point was claim put forth by certain
French citizens, in Vera Cruz, whose prop
erty there, during the bombardment b!
Gen. Scott, had been injured or destroyed
amounting to $4,000, by one estimate
or S2,15O,OoO by another estimate. Th

thus far, so far. On the accession
General Taylor, and the appointment

the American claims of France, some years
ago, after the insulting correspondence OF
Mr.. Rives towards the French government.
At these illusions Mr.. Clayton took fire,
and under advice, made direct commu-
nication with the French government,
through our Minister in Paris, demanding
of Louis Napolean that he should recall
Mr.. Poussin, or the American government
would hold his passports in readiness Tor
his acceptance 70 this demand and in
timation the French President fired up,
and has given negative reply, and may
probably treat Mr.. Rives as we are going
to treat Mr. Poussn. Louis Napoleon is
satisfied with the conduct of his Minister
here, and willnot call him. No Affirmative
is left to the government at Washington
from the first stand taken; and, Of course,
Mr.. Poussin will receive his passports, and
return to France. Mr.. Pousin according
", who has been in this city up to yester-
day, went to Washington in the afternoon,
and will reach the capital to-day, to learn
what further steps to take.
This is the whole amount of the difficult
.ty between the two republics. 1t is a quar-
rel about etiquette & courtesy apparently,
but really about the validity of claims de.

government has an honest claim, it ought
to be examined and paid. We are rich.
and can afford it, The French paid our
claims several years ago, like men ofhon-
or. If Mr.. Clayton and the cabinet think
they can make themselves popular with the
American people, by quarielling with the
French republic on paltry claim, or sym
pathizing with the despotism of Spain in
Cuba, they make the greatest blunder they
have yet done. At best, all this is but
tempest in teapot.-N. Y. Herald.

nearly the entire week, and as matter Of
course has been unable to devote any at
tention TO the paper u
During his trip round the county, he
has met with some queer things; and a.
mong others is the charge that the tickets
for the democratic convention were so
printed that certain men throughout the
county were thereby advised what candi-
dates certain democrats about Woodsfeld
desired or wished to have nominated -
This charge is positively and unqualified
ly false. No such arrangement was
made. The names of all the candidates
were printed in almost all the tickets, ex-
cepting only such as were otherwise or
dered; and none were otherwise ordered
by those candidates who were afterwards
successful. The tickets that had all the
names printed upon them were so arrang-
ed that the name of each candidate came
first in turn i'll some ticket on the sheet
1t may be that some designing politician
has so altered ticket as to suit his own
electioneering purposes.
Another charge is that the names of the
candidates were so arranged in the paper
as to give similar notice as that above re.
ferred to. This charge is equally false,
and is without the shadow of foundation.
The names of all candidates appeared in
the order of their announcement. That
man must be hard run who will resort to
such dishonest conduct, and cannot raise
himself in the estimation of any honest
man, either whig or democrat, by pursuing
such course. Furnish us with the proofs
OF any fraud, either in the printing of the
tickets. or in publishing the names of can
didates, and it shall be exposed in our next

Hear! Hear! New and Important

The Cleveland True Democrat, Wing

Mr.. V. knows all about the Wing party
for wears past-has been in all their Sc
crets-seen with his own eyes and heard
with his own ears, the plots and counter
plots of the enemies of Democracy, and
hence the article below is of double value;
it is in reply to a very silly Taylor Wing
article in the Cleveland Herald, edited by
Mr.. HARRIS, against whom he repeats the
charge of once wanting to be Democrat,
but the Wings finding him an article for
the price-bid high and got him. It's but
Justice to Mr.. HARRIS, however, to say
that he makes much better Whig editor.

We call attention to these specific de-
velopements. They show, at once, the
origin and object Of the disgraceful riots
of HoLcoMB and his thirty Wing followers
of last winter, second only to the infamous
federal buck-shot riots that brought Penn
syvania to the verge of civil war Mr.
VAUGHN developes the fact that the uncon-
stitutional act of dividing Hamilton county
was started in l843. But the ''elder and
wiser Wings" opposed it as as "nconstt'u-
t;onal and inexpedient! But the more
partizan and reckless portion of that party
pressed it, but were finally icled IN their
wicked course. The Developments are
rich, and stamp the Wings, or portlon
of them, as the most abandoned enemies
of constitutional government especially
when the party is to. be subserved. 1t is
enough to startle the blood in every mans
veins, to think Of the disgrace and riots a
few bad men can engender in their secret
and mad plots to entrap their followers
and then urge them on from one act to
another, until they are guilty alike. The

Emancipation Question in Kentucky.

The canvass for seats In the Convention OF
Kentucky, is becoming warm. The election
takes place on the first Manday Of August, and
there is more talk on the subject Of slavery
in Kentucky just now than any other State in the
Union.
The Emancipation party propose to prohibit
the introduction of any more slaves into the
State, and TO insert provision authorising the
Legislature at any time to submit the distict
question of emancipation to the decision of the
people at the polls. This is called the "Open
Clause" in the new Constitution.
The ablest men of Kentucky are enlisted in
the discussion. Senators CLAY and UNDERWOOD
take the side of the emancipatonists. Ex-Gov-
ernor MoREHEAD is out in favor Of restricting
the further importation Of slaves and the 'open
clause"
He is candidate for the Convention, and with
good prospect of success. His opponent is
JoHNW. STEVENSON, an advocate for perpetual
slavery. Hon. JOHN w. TIBBATs, late Rep
resenative in Congress, is also a candidate for
the Convention, and in favor of emancipation.
He lately gave assurance of the sincerity of his
sentiments, by liberating the slaves derived from
the estate of his father-inlaw, the late Gen.
JAMES TAYLOR, of Newport.
We regret to see disposition on the part Of
the Locos in Kentucky to mix up national ques-
tions with the emancipation discussion. Mem
bers of Congress are to be chosen at the same
election, and'every artifce is resored in order
to rouse upt the preiudices of Shareholders against
certain Wing candidates.
The Emancipationists will no doubtpoll
respectable vote in the State, but their chances
of success in this trial are not fattering. The
revolution, however, will not go Sack.-Cleue
Her.
