TEMPERANCE MEETING.

The Chairman Of the Committee of
Arrangements for the Temperance meeting
on the 92d inst, informs us that they have
employed Rev. d. s. WELLro to address the
meeting. Many Of our readers are well
acquainted with Mr., Welling, and such, we
need not inform, will listen to an excellent
address. Mr.. w. is man who fully re-
alizes the great importance OF the Temperance
reform, and both as Christian and a
PhilonhoPist, he lends his whole powers to
the task of exterminatng this evil. Other
communities have report edgreat benefits from
his labors, and we hope the people in this
vicinity will turn QUITO hear hip on the 22d
of February, at the Presbyterian Church.

easily have been corrected by striking out the
restraining clauses and Il is by no means
certain that the difficulties might not all have
been avoided by judicious legislation. The
members Of the majority Of the Convention
were to learn that they had been called to the
seat of government for the purpose of ncor-
poraling the principles Of the Ohio Statesman
into the Constitution. These principles
ere:-The arrangement ofa plan for dis
tricting the Stute, which should insure to.the
clique of party leaders of which that paper
was the centre, the control of the Legislature
for all future time. The establishment of
the Statesman as the central organ of this
party, with the Office of perpetual public
printer. The destruction of the existing BAN
king system by process of taxation which
should impress upon the people a sense Of
the great low, borne to them by the leaders
of the democracy, in forcing from the money
ed institutions, large portion of the taxes Of
the State. AT the cost of nearly a million o
dollars, we received, at the hands of this body
a collection of restrictions, Inconsistencies
inequalities and follies, which for the wan
Of better, now constitutes the organic law
OF Ohio. 1t has been three years in opera
tion, "in the hands of its friends" Durinl
those three years we have had governmen
that the people are able to feel. They hav,
felt it in their pockets, their business, thei
enterprises, and in the obstacles which it ha
imposed to the general welfare. Its "ltt
finger" has been thicker than the body of it
predecessor; and the people are in Fair IVA
of being taught the salutary lesson, tha
, there is no tyranny more intolerable than tha
which, in their own name, is imposed upo
| them.

oTWhat are our Wheeling Creek friends
doing towards securing the Railroad'on their
route! Now is the time for sction--the
money! is on that route, and if they do not
subscribe it, and that speedily, the Short
Creek route will supercede them. We have
been informed that persons residing on the
latter route are exerting themselves to the
utmc<t to secure the road, and we have no
doubt but they will accomplish'it. ill persons
interested in the routs through this County
do not exert themselves. We would be
pleased if some person in Flushing township
or from some point along the line would
keep US posted in regard to tho prospect of
raising a sufficient amount Of funds to secure
| The road.

THE NEBRASKA BILL.

The st. Louis Missouri Democrat, paper
devoted to the interests of Col. BENTON, takes
strong ground against Mr.. DOUGLAS Nebraska
Bill. For this, other papers in that region
raise "Me Wolf HoWI" Of Free Soilism and
Abolitionism against the Democrat. The
Editor thereupon collates the following aa-
horitiss for his course, which we should
judge quite ample for his justification. To
our view, these authorities are conclusive upon
the subject, SO far as the Democratic party,
the Wing party, Nebraska Territory, and the
State of Missouri, are concerned. They
prove beyond cavil, that the assumption of
DOUGLAS that the compromise measures of
1850 supersede and render imperative the
Missouri compromise, is the sheerest OF after
thoughts, and very shallow one at that.
Resolution of the Democratic National
Convention held at Baltimore in 1899.
V. Resolusd, That the Democratic party
will resist all attempts at renewing, in Con-
gress or out of it, the agitation o. the Sa-
very question, under whatever shape or color
the attempt may be made.

0FOur Barnesyille neighbors are in great
hopes of hearing the putting of the "Iron
Horse" by the 4th of July, on the Central
Ohio Roa d. The present prospects are that
the road will be completed, and the cars
running that far by the lst of July. The
intention is, we are told, to increase the force
on this end OF the Road, in order to have it
completed to the River by the first of Sept.
next.
No one will be better pleased than we to
hear the echoes from the steam whistle rever-
berating among the fruitful hills Of old
Belmont, as the Iron steed bears her rich pro-
ducts to the distant mart.

GF'ISFERNAL AGITATION" quoth the
Wheeling Intehisencer, in speaking OF the
honest Indignation of certain Northern men
TO the proposed violation of our "plighted
faith" in the Nebraska bill.
"lpEernal Agitation" forsooth! Cannot
freemen express themselves honestly, when
their character is in jeopardy! If the South
, see fit to resign all claim to character for
honor, is the North to sing mum, for fear of
incuring the displeasure of the slave, holding
aristocratsl Who is to blame for the present
agitation that is convulsng the whole country,
and which threatens a return of the stormy
times of 1920, and of 1850!
IL there is such thing as "infernal agitati-
on'' on this slavery question, we think the
following may be properly placed in that
rank: ..
The Matches Free Trader, a southern
witness, by the way, relates the story Of a
slave who, possessing sufficient of that spirit
of self-defence which his maker implanted
in his breast when he made him in his own
image, struck white man who was oppress-
ing him. This act, instead ofsecuring him
immunity from further assault, drew upon
him the demoniacal rage of his perse
cutors. They chained him to stake--piled
faggots around him, and set them on fire.
The slave in.the agony of suffering, wrenched
himself loose from his tolls, and dashed from
the flames. But rifle bullet, more mercisul
than the blazingfag made him free
man. What paper south of Mason's g.
DiSon's line dare say internal agitation after
this disgraceful transaction!

AN ENEMY,S ADVICE.

The Commercial, true to its Wing instincts,
was out in an elaborate leader, yesterday, op.
posing the proposed plan to amend the Con.
sttution in respect to taxation, which has be-
come BURDENSOME and ONEROUS in
the EXTREME, aud which, as constructed
by the courts, Is THE MOST UNJUST
LAW EVER PLACED UPON TUE STA
TUTE BOOK IN ANY COUNTRY. The
Commercial has been making war upon the
law all winter, and now opposes the only way
in which IL can be repealed. Tho design ol
the Commercial is easily seen through. It
wants the law to stand so that il may be a po-
litical hobby to resuscitate Whggery, and
give II the control Of the State. 1t cares no
thing for the peoples interests in comparison
with those of the Wing party. Democratic
friends in The Legislature, will you and and
comfort the Wings by taking no steps to rid
us OF the taxation evil Cincinnati ENQUIRER
Sunday.
So-the only way to escape the pains and
penalties Of Whiggery" is to be very parlic-
ularly clamorous for an instantaneous change
in our "Ne,o Constitution" yet "in the hands
of its friends" II is further necessary to one
who would preserve his democracy undefled,
that he be clamorously denunciatory of the
uery democratic legislation Of tho last two
years whereby banks were "tared as Tie peO-
pL," and Of the decision of the Supreme
Court, which holds that other people must be
Stared as the bankS" II must now be conce-
ded, and affirmed valianily, as the very car
dinal qpintessence of homemade democracy,
