II, 1854, to take into consideration the sub
ject of the contemplated repeal Of the Mis-
souri, compromise, EBER WILSON was called

CURTIS appointed secretaries. The object OF
the meeting having been stated, on motion
of Mr.. Huntington the chairman appointed
a committee of three on resolutions, consist
ing of Messrs. Huntington, Cook and Hol-
lenbeck The meeting then, on motion, ad-

SATURDAY, March l9th.-The meeting met
pursuant to adjournment, E. Wilson in the
chair, and S. Jefferson secretary. Mr.. Hun
tington, from the committee on resolutions,
reported the following, which, after having
been discussed by Messrs Cook, Huntington
and Jefferson, were unanimously adopted
Whereas the Missouri compromise in 1920,
establishing geographical line between slave
and free territory, was at that time consld-
cred as the result Of necessity and brought
about by mutual concession, in which both
sections of the Union and all political par
ties have for more than third of Centu-
ry peacably acquiesced, until the present ses-
sion of congress the people have been start
led BY the proposition of repeal.
Therefore, Resolved, That every principle
of good faith between the north and south
will be violated by such repeal and that
southern members who vote for it need ex-
pect no further regard for compromises, nor
need northern members who uenture the bold
experiment expect to be sustained by their
constituents.
Resolved, That strict adherence to the
letter and spirit of the constitution of the
United States is our only hope Of preserva-
ton against anarchy and disunion on the
one hand, or consolidation on the other.
Resolved, That we regret the existence of
slavery in this American republic, and are
utterly opposed to its extension where it
does not now exist by law.
Resolved, That the fearless, independent
and dignified course pursued BY senators
Chase and Wade in this contest, in defiance
of threats and Remuneration, meets our most
cordial appreciation.
Resolved, That we approve of the propos-
ed call for state Mass Meeting, to be held
at Columbus on Wednesday next, and rec
ommend to such of our fellow citizens as
can, to attend it.
Resolved, That copy of the proceedings
of this meeting be forwarded to each of the
senators in congress from this state, and tc
the representative from this district.
Resolved, That copy of the proceedings
of this meeting be furnished to the Perrys
burg Journal and Northwestern Democra
for publication.

WINTER IN OREGoN.-The Oregonan Of
January 28th, says the Columbia was frozen
over for the distance of thirty miles from
Vancouver down. The Willamette was
frozen over, and people were crossing on the
ice. The river was measured, and found to
be ,40l feet in width. The weather was
colder than had been experienced since lS47,
when the Willamette was frozen So as to bear
horse. On the 10Th January, the mercury
was down tozero, and the editors say the peo-
pie may hereafter look ont for regular New
Hampshire winter in Oregon. During the
last week in January the snow had fallen to
the depth Of fourteen inches, and most OF
it remained en- the ground. 1t was esti-
mated that more than one thousand tons of
ice would be taken from the Columbia and
Willamette rivers.

SUCCESS OF THE ERIcssoN.--We take
pleasure in announcing on the authority Of
one of the parties interested in the caloric-
ship Ericsson, that they succeeded yesterday
in obtaining nine and ten revolutions per
minute with one only of her engines, which
has been improved in important respects
since the last experimental trip. This
secures the same number of (nine or ten)
miles per hour in motion, with only half the
the power in use. The other engine will be
got into order by the first week in April,
and about the middle of that month, it is
intended to despatch the ship to Havre,

now feel assured of "A success surprising the

WHY is 1r?-Why is it that some men
will stand and chatter and Jew long time
about the price to be paid for newspaper
a year, or the insertion of an advertisement,
when the same men would consider such
conduct in the last degree picayunish and
mean if they were settling hotel bill or a
bill for any other luxury? The difference OF
half dollar day in hotel bills is thought
nothing of by most men but difference
of 25 of so cents in the price Of a news
paper year induces some men to deprive
,hemselve of its weekly visits, and the pub
Usher of their patronage. Yet even such
men claim to be liberal and whole souled =
1t is we'll to claim it, otherwise they might
be thought niggardly and small in small

Not many years ago man could 60 to
market with few shillings in his pocket,
and purchase quite a considerable supply OF

would furnish comfortable lodgings and their
appurtenances for an ordinary sized family.
Now times are changed, California has bless
ed us with an outpouring of her precious
wealth Australia has followed suit earth
yields her treasures one very hand, and those
who had much, have the facilities to make
it more; the poor man labors as hard, or
harder than ever; prosperity is the cry, but
he don't get ahead his wages have risen, so
has his beef, and his bread, and his rent, and
competition in deadly strife for life. Every
thing goes along with rush every body
looks out for nobody; all is self-and to
crown the whole, death steps in and makes
his wholesale demands. Human flesh has
become deprecated, man by man don't any
longer satisfy his ravenous maw-now he
grabs up by wholesale, and as it is in keep
ing with the times, nobody is astonshed.-

with the times-the supply always equals
the demand, and then we compose ourselves
