Public works.

Speaking upon this subject the Carroll
Free Press, says;--This question has been
the all-absorbing question for tho last few
weeks in the Ohio Legislature. We shall
next week publish the remarks of Hon. Hi
ram Griswold upon the subject. He has
tlkcn u very lawyer-like Wow OF Tho casc.-
He declares as Il chancellor would, if case
were before n court, viz: that f55ud, palpa
blc fraud, been shown to exist, and
not even denied on the part OF both parties,
Tor rather the agents of the one, and the
other party in pcrson,) ergo, a court Of cqui-
ty will leave them where it found them, and
will not make any further appropriations
from the treasury for the purpose of fulfill
ing the fraudulent contracts. This is doubt
less correct reasoning and pure justice; but
the question arises whether it would not in
the end be n pecuuiary advantage of the
State to appropriate a just compensation
for the purpose of repairing the Public
Works, and refuse to pay or appropriate
any more9 Yet if there are fears in the
minds of such lawyers as Mossrs. Griswold
and Brace that part appropriation, would
bind the State to the entire fulfillment of
tho fraudulent contracts; then we say with
them to refuse the appropriations entirely.
Public Justice to public servants is some-
times tardy, but it will come sooner or later.
And in such public servants, from long
personal knowledge of one Of them, VIC have
almost implicit confidence.

WASHINGTON. March IA.


Hon. D. r. Disney, formerly member of
Congress from Ohio, died at Dexters Hotel
this morning, of pneumonia. His remains
will be conveyed home for interment.
Washington, March 16.
Lord Napier the new British Minister,
was introduced to the President at one
o'clock to-day, by Gen. Cass and presented
his credentials.
His expressions of congratulation and his
desire to preserve the peace of the two coun'
tries, were cordially rcciprolated by the
President.
Lord Napier was in court dress.
Many visitors at the White House desired
to witness the ceremony, but it being of a
private character, they were excluded from
the audience chamber
The correspondent of the Daily Times
states that the statement is erroneous thai
Gov. Geary's resignation had been re
ceived. The President has nothing from
him. Gen. Cass has received a telegraphiC
dispatch from Gcary requesting that decis-
i've steps be Immediately taken to sustain
him, and indicating from him prompt re
lsignation as the alternative.
The subject occupied the Cabinet to-da.
throughout long and earnest discussion
Mr.. Buchauan's disposition is to sustain
Geary. Tho Southern Democratic sent
ment here is very decidedly in the same d
rection. The Southern wing of the Cabin
} met is understood to oppose him.

u,,n,. >, rrorrled women.

Mr. Plumb. from the Select Committee
on the Rights Of Married Women, made a
report ON tho petition of somc ten thousand
citizens of Ohio asking for the repeal Of all
laws regarding property rights and the guar
dianshp Of children, which makes distinc-
tian on account Of sex. The report Is an
elaborate document favorng the prayer Of
the petitioners, and setting forth many CO.
gent reasons for the repeal of the law max
ing the distinctions Objected to. 1t docs
honor to tho heads and hearts of of the in
telligent Committee, Messrs. Plumb Cook
and and Egly. The report was read by
Mr.. Plumb nj the Clerks desk, aud was lis
tened to with marked attention It was
ordered to be printed, and placed in the
Appendix to the House Journal. The fol-
lowing resolutions accompany the Report
Resolued, That the Committee on Judi
ciary be and hereby are instructed to report
to this House such bills as when enacted
will so change existing statutes as to secure,
lst To the married woman the right to
hold a personality in her own name.
Cd. To the married woman right to
half of the real estate earned and acquired
Jointly, which cannot be transferred by sale
or gift without her consent.
Sd. To secure to the wife when she be-
comes q widow, the same right, that by law
is conferred upon the husband in case of
her death.
4th. To the wife and widow an equal
right to the guardianship Of children.
Some of these recommendations will
probably be carried out by the present Leg
islature. The men, as well as the women
and children of Ohio, owe much to Mr..
Plumb and the Committee, for their atten-
ton and zeal in the matter. The world

Germans Moving Right.

In the Toledo Blade of the 18th, we no.
tice that the Germans of that city are pre-
pared TO act with the Republicans in a body
at the spring election. They held meeting
on the evening of the 18th at Deidrichs,
Henry Brand, in the chair and r. Rudolph
Secretary, and passed resolution to the
effect that thc Germans of Toledo without
of the Republican party for the nomination
of city officers, and will give a united sup
port to the ticket which such caucus shall
nominate" This movement is made in the
right spirit, and the Republicans will receive
them cordially. The Germans are having
continued evidence that the Republican par
ty only, seeks to make freedom universal.

THE CANAL CONTRACTS.

By intelligence received from Columbus
yesterday we arc inclined to believe the
question of the Canal Contracts will be dis
posed of in some way this week. But how
is uncertain. We think the resolutions of
Mr. BRAzEE which passed tho Senate some
days since will be the best. They will
simply take away the canals from the con-
tractors on account of their contracts being
fraudulent, and restore them TO the Board OF
Public Works, and providing for the pas
sage of bill by the Legislature, to open our
Courts to these gentlemen, in which they
may, if they think it will pay, seek redress
and damages for taking from them the ben
efits and profits of contracts, made outside
of the law and in positive violation thereof
By the Legislature taking this course, we
think a long, vexatious and improbable
course of litigation will be saved, as When
they are thus compelled to be plaintiffs they
prefer loud talk to swearing in our Courts
of Justice.
Contractors have combined so great al
influence at Columbus that it seems almos
impossible TO resist it. We hope that th
House will firmly resist all advances mad
by friends of contractors, and unhesita
tingly pass BEAzEE's resolutions as the
came from the Senate. Among the peo
pie throughout the State, we believe ther
is but one voice on this question, and tina
is to sever all connexion with these cor
9 tractors. Unless it should be done, til
= Representatives will be called to answer I
. the people for their neglect of duty, an
they will even be regarded as accomplices
the stupendous fraud. As for our Senate
Hon. r. P. BUcKLAND, he has been watchf
/, and vigilant, and investigated these co
n tracts fully. He has unequivocally give
= his labors, voice and vote to have them a
( nulled, and whatever may be the result, Y
l. know his constituents approve his course
The great wonder and astonishment to
l. is that the Legislature had not annull'
" them two months ago. Had it been dor
Y they would have acquired lasting aud III

The Supreme Court of the United States
has made an attack upon our vital, ancient
and legal liberties; and we are told by
toadies and fuckers that we must submit
without murmuring. They seem entirely
to forget that it has never beer the habit OF
the Anglo-Saxon race to acquiesce in wrong
come from whatever section it may. The
teachings of history are lost upon such men
But those who remember that all the free
dom which we enjoy has been won by re-
sistcnce to power, and only after vigorous
struggles with crowned rascals and unjust
Judges, will find themselves continually re-
curing to the events of the past and to the
noble example of our ancestors.-Iribune

Eg- Long years ago, President jackson

re- Long years ago, President jackson,
ordered Mr. Secretary of the Treasury
Duane, to remove the deposits from the Uni
ted States Bank, in defiance of law. Mr.
Duane refused and resigned. A lawyer in
Maryland, Roger B. Taney, was appointed
in the place of Mr.. Duane and was made
the tool of the self-wiled President, and fol
this act of humanity subserviency, this same
fancy was appointed to the place of Chief
Justice of the U. S. Court, upon the death
of the lamented Marshall. Years have pass
cd away, another act of subseryience must
be performed, and this same Roger B. Ia
neg is the supple tool of the slave power,

Behold, then, the causes of the Messengers
great joy.
A NEGRO CANNOT BE CITIZEN OF THE
UNITED STATES. Let tho editor of the Mes
senger beware. We know colored men
whittier than he, and who know n great deal
more.
ALL THE TERRITORIES ARE THROWN OPEN
TO SLAVERY.
EVEN FREE STATE CANNOT EXCLUDE
SLAVERY FROM ITS BOUNDS.
In word slavery is national, freedom is
sectional, tho Constitution was framed to
protect property in slaves. There is not a
foot of American soil which is safe from the
foul tread of slavery, Let the Messenger
then rejoice Let Democracy shout itself
hoarsel Let hell itself join in tho grand
chorus! For slavery which wars on "hu-
man nature ITSELF" which is the "sum of
all villainies," is free to extend itself. All
limits which have been set to the monster
crime are removed.
But let the Messenger, and the Supreme
Court, and the slave drivers, and the black
democracy rejoice while they may, over hu-
man nature struck down in in the negro race.
The day of vengeance is at hand.
"Loi II clouds about to vanish
From the days
And brazen wrong to crumble
Into clay;
Lol the right is yet to conquer,
CLEAR THE wAY!"

RE- The following joint resolution was
offered in the House of Representatives, by
Mr.. Yaple, of Ross, on the 11th, and was
laid on the table to be printed:
Resolued, By the General Assembly of
the State of Ohio That the doctrine which
denies the right of both Congress and the
People of any organized Territory of the
United States to prohibit persons emigra-
ting with their slaves to such Territory, from
holding them, as slaUes, before a constitu-
ton is formed with view to the admission
of such Territory into the Union rs State,
is an abandonment of popular sovereign
ty;" clear violation of the rule which re-
quires the Constitution of the United States
to be strictly construed anti-republican and
un-democratic, because it enables the few
to force their so-called institutions, during
the whole existence of Territorial govern
ments, upon the many, however much num-
Der of the latter may preponderate or how
ever much they may be opposed to the IN
PRODUCTION of slavery among them; for these
reasons, and because all the Territory out
side of State limits within the United
States, and all that we rs nation may
hereafter acquire, whether free or not at the
time of acquisition, is thus made at once
slave territory in point of law. This doc
trine should, therefore, receive the unquali-
fed condemnation of all who value their
own, or the liberties of mankind and its
adoption will Justly bring upon us the re-
proach of nations aud the wrath Of God.
The monstrous doctrines of the lnaugu-
raj and decision of the Supreme Court in
the case of Dred Scott, should alarm and
arouse every friend of freedom to increased
vigilance. The decision of the Supreme
Court, will not be regarded as of any i'm
portance, every free Northern State will
pass laws and enforce them, too, rendering
negatory this decision of the slaye-breeders'
tribunal. 1t is understood that Mr.. Cory,
the eloquent Democratic memberfrom Ham
iIton, will embrace the opportunity when
the resolution is discussed to arraign the
Inaugural and decision at the tribune OF
the People.

GERMAN MEETING TUESDAY EVENING
A very large assemblage was present, and
a united feeling was manifest. A. Brand
in the chair.
Frank Fleck delivered a lengthy address,
demonstrating the reasons for the meeting
being called, and in glowing words showed
the Mountaineering spirit of the Irish. For
years past he had gone with them, but was
now done with such folly. He had found
out that the Irish had disgraccd and disre-
spected the Germans more than the Amer
leans. He also thought the Americans
were more disposed to aid and assist the
Germans than were their old allies, the
Irish. Messrs. Troost Diderichs and Zagin
followed in nearly the same manner.
The first named declared in a few words
that only through the bad usage of the
Irish had he felt obliged to throw up the Of
flee Of the Constable. These gentlemen
are leaders of the German Democrats of
this city, and as they have offered their
hands for union, there is nothing left at
this time that will hinder it, perfection.-
We (the Erpress) will place nothing in the
way that shall operate against such union.

re- The "HA1LE" storm in New Hamp-
shire on the 10th proved most disastrous
one to Pierce and Buchanan slave-ocracy.
A correspondent of the Tribune says;--
"The old Granite State has again set her
seal of disapprobation on the principles of
the Border Rufian party; has again rebuked
her imbecile son who has attempted to gov
ern this Republic for four years past; has
again vindicated those principles her yeo-
man sons love so well, and given assurances
that she will evermore be found strongly in
favor of Free Labor, Free Schools, Free
Territory and Free Men Tho recent de-
cision of the United States Supreme Court
in the Dred Scott case gave the freedom
loving citizens of New Hampshire an idea
of the controlling influence of the Slave
Power, and aroused them to n sense of their
and mado them moro active in
behalf of Freedom and their constitutional
rights. That decision was every where re-
ceived with feelings of horror and contempt
and people expressed themselves astonished
that the Judiciary of the United States was
at last prostituted to the Slave Power. 1t
had a magical effect here, however, in arous-
ing the People to action" The whole Re-
publican ticket, Governor, State officers,
Representatives in Congress have been cleo
ted by triumphant and overwhelming ma
ioritics. We think President Pierce had
best to seek home in Virginia, with his
friends the slave breeders. New Hamp-
shire has spewed him out. All hail! to
the Freemen Of the White Mountains.
