Gr At the democratic township meeting
in Wills township, Guernsey county, the
following resolution was adopted: .t
Resolved, That the delegates to the
county convention be instructed to vote
against, and use all their influence to de.
feat the nomination of any man whom
they know TO have voted against the adop.
ton of the new constitution. ..--..
The passage of such resolution may
be all right enough, but we very much
question its proprety in county that
gave over 100 majority against the new
constitution. 1t is rather too much Of
wholesale prescription. Suppose the coun.
ties that gave majori,ies for the New Con-
s,tution would resolve that they would not
support candidates in counties that gave
majorities against the New Constitution.
what would be thought Of it! One would
be about as consistent as the other, and
both would be very impolitic.

CUBAN NEWS AT NEW ORLEANS.

The news from Havana. received at
New Orleans on the 9th inst. by the steam

of that city,is oi the most contradictory
character. The letters 10 most of the
papers are perfect record Of Patriot VIC
tories, whilst the True Delta gives the
Spanish version, which is series of Pa
triot defeats and overthrows. The Picay-
une cities as an evidence of the untruth-
lulness OF the Spanish statements, the fact
that accounts have been published OF the
capture OF Aguero, the patriot leader, at
five different points. whilst they are assur-
ed by gentlemen direct from Puerto
Principe, that he was still in command OF
IA party OF insurgents. The Courier has
also the following startling announce
ment:- -..

tons of the Government, that two days
