POLITICAL CURIOSITIES.

The Tiffin Advertiser has done us favor by
hunting up the following resolutions. There are
others of the same sort Honly more So" which
we hope may be brought out. The first was Of
fered by HENRY CLAY, in the Senate Of the U.
States, ON the 10th of March; 1884, and reads as
follows
Rcsolred, That the Constitution of the United
States does not vest in the President powers to
move, at his pleasure, officers under the Govern
ment Of the United States, whose offices have
been established by law
Here is another offered in the Senate on the
goth of January; 1892, by a certain THOMAS Ew-
ING at present one of General TAYLoR's Cabinet ::
Resozred That the practice of removing public
officers by the President, for any other purpose
than that of securing faithful execution of the
laws is hostile to the spirit of the constitution ;
was never contemplated by its trainers; is an
extension of executive influence, prejudicial to
the public service, and dangerous to the liberties
of the people, sc.

PUBLISHING THE LAWS.

A contemporary whose remarks we copy, re-
commends the publication in the newspapers of
the laws of the State The idea is a good one,
and one which should receive the attention of
the Legislature, as we are confident it would
meet the appreciation of the people. That the
entire Civil and Criminal Code should be pub
lished, 20 one would ask--but that the people
should be made acquainted with that which most
Immediately concerns them, 10 one can deny
How, then, is this information to be obtained
In no way 50 cheap, as through the newspapers
and the curailment Of some unnecessary State
and County expenses, would confer great ben
eft on the people, and pay all expenses thai
might be incurred in spreading before them the
laws by which they are to be governed.

From the Enquirer
REFRESHING.

The Wing Convention, Chen called National
Republican, which assembled at Staunton in
1882, among other great, good and patriotic say
ngs and dongs, passed the following resolutions
in anticipation of the advent CT Old Fac, the Sc
cond Washington
Resolved, That this Convention is Of opinion
that the United States Senate has the constitutions
al power Of controlling the nominations of the
Executive, and that itapproves the conduct of
the Senate in rejecting the unworthy nominations
which We're proposed for its action during the
last session.
Resolved, That the system of rewards and
punshments practiced by the present Executive
of the United States is odious, as tending to des-
potsm, and dangerous in practice, as calculated
to corrupt the fountains ofinfornation, and sub
vert the liberties Of the people.
Would you believe that these 'National Re
publicans," known as Federalists before the said
Stanton Convention, since christened Wings by
James Watson Webb are now the real Old FAC
Republicans 1t is even SO. Look at the list,
Every living man of them is now Taylor Wing.
Let the members of that famous Convention look
back and blush. Let the people look back and
wonder at and abhor, the duplicity of Whiggery
Taylorized. A President ought to be wise enough
at least, to understand trap"

REFORMATION.

The poor tax, in this county, by the election
of Reform Overseers, will be reduced 80 cents
the present year This is not small item, and
next year still further reduction, and saving to
the people, may be expected if they are but true
to their own interests and the cause OF Reform,
The present reduction causes a saving OF about
nine hundred dollars. -Martmsbtug Republican.
G5- A reform like this would not be objected
to by the taxpayers in Augusta--they have had
heavy load to bear for number of years. It
the people do not demand reduction they will
never get it. The County Levy is about twice
as much as it ought to be-while in the Corpo-
ration 1t is absolutely an outrage upon justice.

FACTS.

From the first of September last to the 23d OF
May, the export Of -four wheat and corn, to
Great Britain and Ireland, was about five times
as great as it was during the same period last
year-althou9h the Wings argued a year ago,
that our increased exports of breadstufs was due
to temporary causes, (the famine, &c.,) and was
in no way attributable to the Revenue Bill OF
Democratic system of policy, the large amount
Of expectation to England and her dependencies
being paid for, in great measure, by their pro-
ductions--ao not, as formerly, uuder the prohib-
itory policy Of the Wings, produce embarrass
ments and revulsions ofcommerce. Prentice
in the Union, perfectly demonstrates these points
