The slliance county Project.

We have been shown letter from DR..
Bigelow, dated the 27th ul., in which he
have seen this morning plat Of
the South New County move: II their map
is correctly proportioncd It will take Oft
one half of Brimfeld, Rootstown, Edin-
burgh and Palmyra" Such division
would not leave to this county the territory
which the constitution requires; unless the
territory equal to:two townships be add
ed from some adjoining county. We don't
know but it is the intention Of the new
county projectors to swallow up, entirely
aunihilate this county. Certain it is, IL all
the projects on foot for dismembering the
county shall succeed, there will be scarcely
enough left of Old Portage for potato
patch. Is there any. one that wishes to
see this county shorn Of a single township?
Is it not already in good and convenient
shape? Can the consideration OF being a
few miles nearer to a county seat induce
any one to lend his influence to any Of these
schemes? We do not believe any Of these
projects will receive much encouragement
in this county; but we fear the people are
not sufficiently apprised Of the efforts that
are on foot TO promote: their success; that
there is too much apathy respecting it. In
fact, we have heard of several section in
which a remonstrance has not yet been
seen. This should not be 80. Every man
should rem monstrate; and especially should
a strong remonstrance be sent in from those
townships proposed to be taken off -.

G Some Of the whig papers are pub
fishing an article from the Milan Tribune,
embracing letter to the editor of that pa
per from Hon. Daniel Webster, denying a
charge made by Mr.. Rootin speech at
Norwalk, that Mr.. Webster drafted the
new Fugitive Law, and stating that before
leaving the Senate, he had introduced diff
fersnt bill, providing for trial by jury.
The object of the publication probably is
to make the people believe that Webster
still holds on to his former professed anti
slavery sentiment, and that the wings are
perfectly justifyable in standing by him.
Such an effort at deception is weak and
foolish after the unqualified approval and
support which that law aswell all as the COM
promise measures Of the last Congress have
received at the hands of Mr.. Webster, up
on more occasions than one. And althoug h
he was not the drafter OF this law, we think
he distinctly avowed, before leaving the
Senate, that he would support this bill.
But the wings who not long ago endeavOr-
ed to exculpate their party from any part
in the passage or support of this law, are
now, like drowning men, catching at stra ws
in hopes thereby to save themselves.

New York Fugitive slave Case.

The decision of Judge Judson, in the
case of Henry Long, the fugitive slave at

The abolitionisls have spent an immen-

case. They have, indeed, squandercd
more than sufficient sum to purchase
the slaves liberty from his lawfully re-
cognized owne. in Virginia. The New
York correspondence of the Philadelphia
Inquiry says in reference to this matter:
"Now, tina, the case is disposed OF, fee!
