from our excelen. brother Plants, with this

PoMERoY, Jan. 12lh, 1859.
GEN. S. F. CARY:-Dear Sir: Permit me
10 express, or rather say that cannot ex.
press the amazemenl with which have jus,
read in the o. S. Journal. as part Of the
closing scenes Of the late Temperance Con.
ven,ion, the following statement: General
Cary then announced that only ten Of the
voters Of Meigs county had refused 10 sign
petition asking for the Maine Law, and
moved that she be declared the banner county
of Ohio Agreed 10, and three hearty cheers
given for the gallant men Of Meigs.'
Now. whether the above scene took place
or NOT, do no, know, as was compelled
10 leave on the morning train on The 9th.
But as was the only delegute from Meigs,
the inference here will be. lhati have so rep.
resented The state Of this county; which GER
lainly did not. While do not know Of any
one re fusing 10 sigh petition for the Maine
Law, am very shure we have many times
ten who would refuse il The Millennium
has by no means come TO Meigs county yet,
and as such statement, being untrue in
fact, can do the cause no good, | wish TO
correct IL.
But while the supposed fact, upon which
the distinction confrred upon iule Megs is
based, is not true, yet believe the distinction
itself is justly meriled For although made
no representation Of the state Of the cause
to the Convention, did to you and others.
while in the cars on The way 10 Columbus,
in private conversation, claim the 'banner"
for cur brave little county-not because she
had sent up any amount Of petitions, bu
because she had never permitted Division
of The Sons to die--had then nine Divisions
in healthy life and successful aclion-had
the tenth Division ready to organize-had
many true and tried friends who were no
members Of any Division. and were fully
prepared to sustain the Maine Law
For these reasons, as the representative
of Msigs county, accept for her, as o
right "that same banner" and pledge her tc

by men OF tho same profession, and equul

people become familiar with the laws their
profession might suffer, and they DO COM
