In an age which prizes money as the greatest
GOOD, and counts the understanding as the highest
human faculty, the man who is to lead and bless
the world must indeed be great in intellect, but
also great in conscience, greater In affection, and
greatest of all things in his soul In his later
years, Webster was intellect, and little more. If
he did not regard the eternal Right how could he
guide a nation to the useful for to-day? If he
scornsd the law of God, how could he bless the
world of men "'Twas by this fault he fell"
He knew the cause of his defeat, and in the last
weeks of his life confessed that he was deceived
that before his fatal speech he had assurance from
the North and South that if he supported slavery,
'twould lead him into place and power; but now
he saw the mistake and that few of the "fanat-
les had more influence in America than all the
South He sinned against his own conscience,
and so he fell
He made him wings of slavery to..Ay to lofty en-
inences. Those wings unfeathered in his fight.
For and thirty months he fell, until at last he
reached the tomb. There, on the sullen shore, a
mighty wreck, the great Webster lies
ais thi. the nan in Freed orn's cause approved,
The man 30 great, so honored, beloved?
Where is the heartfelt worth and weight of soul,
Which labor could not soop, nor fear control?
Where the known dignity, the stamp of awe,
Which. half abashed, the proud and venal saw?
Where the calm trumphs of an honest causef-
Where the delightful taste Of just appause7
40, lost alike to action and rspose,
Enwepi, unpitied In the worst woes;
With all that conscious, undissembled pride,
Sold to the insults Of q foe deied;
Win all that habit Of familiar fame,
Doomed 10 exhaust the dreg5 Of life in shame"
O. what n warning was his fall!

Plank Roads.

If our Georgetown friends wish to secure
a Plank Road that will be Of some benefit
to them, let them go to work and have one
made to Flushing. Let it in coming from
Flushing connect with the Wheeling and
Cadiz Plank Road about two miles south of
Warfel's Mill. A road built on that route
would be Of great advantage to them. We
would advise them to have it made. Gov
If the people of this place wish one made
to Flushing, that would be of advantage,
and one that could be made cheap, let the
route be this: Go west from Cadz until
you come to Barrett's Bridge, and then take
up the creek towards Flushing, This route
would be as near as any other that could be
made, and would answer other valuable
purposes. After the road is made to Bar
rett's bridge, it could be continued on tc
Moorefeld, &C., and then another road
could be made down Brushy Fork to Tippe.
canoe, which would secure a large amount
of trade to this place. All these roads coulc
be built at a very moderate expense, the
grading easy, timber cheap, &c, &c.
We give these suggestions in order tina.
our friends may take hold of the advantages
that they offer. They will all be needed
when the branch of the Steubenyille and
Indiana railroad is made to this place.
Cadiz needs building up, and the sooner ii
is done the better it will be for the property
holders in this place. EFFORT, EFFORT,

every thing that is great or good in the pur-
poses of civil government, TO put forth his
exertions to rid the great State of
Ohio from the traffic in intoxicating drinks
by legislative enactment.
Resolrea Sd, That in asking oul Senators
and Representatives in Legislature assem-
bled for the enactment Of a law similar in its
provisions to that Of the state of Maine we
do not claim the right Of compelling men to
be moral, by legislative enactment; and We
ask in return that our opponents in their eff
forts to wrap the mantle of legality around
the traffic in intoxicating drinks not to pro-
nounce that they have the right TO compel
others to adopt their standard OF morality.
Resoleed 4h, That We regard the health
and morality Of the citizens Of Ohio of more
Importance than any other consideration
that we will vote for no man, who is not
known to be in favor of the passage ola law
similar to hat o the state Of Maine regardless
OF old party distinctions Of every character.
After the discussion and adoption Of the
above resolutions, on motion it was resolved
that the same be published in the county
papers, and a copy of be sent to each of our

ask themselves the question, if they do not

Another new Project.

Our Wheeling friends seem determined
to have a Railroad to Cadiz. The last Ga
zette has an article of considerable length
about a Railroad from Wheeling to Uhrichs-
vile, by the way of Cadiz. Friend Whar-
ton talks 30 if every thing was ready to go
on with the project. But in this we think
he will be somewhat mistaken. Harrison
county is not so available as some people
seem to imagine. We often see articles in
papers about "us' securing the trade of Har-
rison county, and Harrison county will do
SO and so; and they talk as if some city had
actually been appointed guardian of this
county. We believe the people of this
county know what is their true interests, and
they will govern themselves accordingly,
without asking the consent of any of the rival
cities.
Some four or five years ago the people Of
this county were willing and anxious to have
a Railroad to Wheeling. They labored with
considerable zeal to secure that object, but
our Wheeling friends gave us the "cold
shoulder" and the project was abandoned
Since that time we have entered into an
agreement to have a branch Of the Steuben-
vile and Indiana Railroad to this place,
which we think will satisfy all demands al
present. Our Wheeling friends seeing that
we have made this arrangement, and fear
ing that the trade Of this county might &c
to some other part, they have became very
anxious to have a railroad to Cadiz, forget
ting hat they gave us the cold shoulder
some years since. When we need a railroad
to Wheeling, we will give our Wheeling
friends due notice. We think the Plank
Roads to that place will do for the ptesent
In order that our readers may see the
visionary thoughts that occupy the minds o
some of our Wheeling friends, W. give oul

RAILROAD TO UHRICHSVILLE.
We are pleased to learn that the branch
the Cleveland and Wellsyille Railroad from
Bayard's station to the Steubenyille and In
diana road at Uhrichsyille, has been survey
ed, the stock raised, and the road already
under contract, to be pushed through al
speedily as possible. This places u con
~nection with Northern Ohio in a very advan
tageous position, and will lead to measure
securing that trade to Wheeling beyond
contingency, and that by one Of the cheapes
routes in the State. From Wheeling to Uh
richsville there are four charters for the lin
of road, under either Of which it can b
constructed, and we rejoice to know tina
persons are engaged in it who will no longe
suffer the advantages it possesses to lie un
used. Q
The work now on hand is to run the roa
from Wheeling to the mouth Of Short Creek
thence up Short Greek to Cadiz, where
will meet q branch Of the Stcubenyille an

FRIDAY, Dec. II.
SENATE:-Mr. Riddle offered the following
preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, the voters of the State of Ohio,
by the adoption Of the new Constitution,
have decided against the admission of the
people of color to the rights Of citizenship
in this State;
And whereas, a portion of the colored
people have determined to secnre to them
selves equal rights by emigration elsewhere,
when sufficient ~pecuniary means are provi-
ded to enable them to do so;
And whereas, the bill introduced into
Congress, on the 4th Of June, of the pres
ent year, which will give to the State of Ohio
the sum of $33, 454 33-100 per annum, to
aid the colored people to emigratc to Libe-
ria, and will be an amount amply sufficient
for that purpose;
And whereas, the Republic of Liberia de-
clared its independence as a sovereign nation
more than five years since, and has been ac-
knowledged as. such by France, England,
Belgium, Prussia and Brazil;
And whereas, it is desired by the colored
people who contemplate emigration to Libe-
ria, and would be but an act OF justice to-
wards the people of that rising republic,
that the government of the United States
should also recognize it as an independent
nation;
Therefore Resoyved, By the General AS
sembly Of the State Ct Ohio, That our Sena-
tors in Congress be INSTRUCTED, and our Rep
resentitiyes be requested, to support said
bill, and use their influence to secure its pas
sage during the present session Of Congress;
and that they also use their influence with
the General Government, to obtain an ac-
acknowledgement ofthe independence of Libe-
ria, at the earliest practicable period.
Resolved, That his Excellency, the Gov
ernor of Ohio, be requested to forward cop
les of this preamble and resolutions to our
delegates in Congress.
On motion OF Mr.. Cox, the Senate resolv-
ed itself into Committee OF the Whole, on
