p u B L l c..

HIHE Board of Directors present n the Policy
l. Holders, and to the public the fo1lowiHg Re-
port: We feel grateful for the extent Of it's bust
ness, and in return. we are pleased To be able to
announce to them the present prosperous condi-
ton of the Company. 1t might not be inappro
pirate to say at this time that at the organization
of the Ashland County Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, and previous to the commencement of
its business transactions, the Board of Directors
adopted the following alutary rule of faction, viz:
TO eonfRs the risks to the safer kind of property
TO take money enough upon issuing a Policy to
pay any probable loss during its continuance, and in
addition to the amount of cash reeef1ed, 10 regHirs
at the same time a small deposite note to proUide for
any unusual eOnfdgrGtfOH." This rule must be ap-
parent to every business man. That in order sue
cessfully to conduct the business of an Insurance
Compeny and promptly pay it's losses, the funds
should be provided before the loss happens. Upon
this principle of reasoning, the Directors COM
meDced the business of the Company-so far it
has been. proved TO be 4 correct principle. and the
salufary rule thus established at the organization
of the Company. remains unchanged to this day.

Thomas Jefferson.

Randall 10 his life Of J.f.nOD, says be
6nds the following passage ia Mr Jeffsr.
sons celebrated instructions prepared for
the guidance Of the members Of Congress
from Virginia:
The abolition Of of domestic slavery is
the great object Of desire, in these colonies
where it was, unhsppily, introduced, in
their infant state. But previous to the
emf anehisement of the slaves we have
it is necessary TO exclude all further i'm.
portations from Africa. Yet our repeated
attempts to effect this, BY prohibition, and
by imposing duties, which have smouot.
ed to prohibition, have been hitherto
defeated BY His Msjesty's negative; thus
referring the immediate advantages Of q
ew British corSairs, to the lasting interests
of the American States, aud TO the rights
Of human nature, deeply wounded BY this
Infamous practice
Will it be believed that in this age Of
world the propagation of domestic slavery,
and not its abolition, is the great object Of
desire Of a large portion of the party
which Jefferson founded, and which calls
itself democraticl James Buchanan; /;
who sits in the seat oace occupied BY JEFF.
erson regardless of the lasting interests of
the American States, seeks 10 make slavery
National and its baIeful interests perpetual
Not only SO, but large portion Of his
supporters in the southern States clamor
for the establishment of the piratical
Slave Trade. A late number of the Lou
isiana Central Organ thus expresses the
desire of the South:
Next 10 u.gency and fully equal in i'm.
portance to an attack upon the North in
its commercial relations with the South,
by imposing specific taxes upon Northern
goods and products, and to the supplying
OF the present demand and want OF the
South for more negroes, either by the re-
opening OF the Slave trade or by the
adoption of the African Apprentice
Scheme, we can but look upon the &C.
quirement Of additional Territory as one Of
the undiscussed subjects that the Southern
States should next undertake.
Comment on this is unnecessary. When
the North shall consent TO these demands,
despotism will have prevailed over freedom
and the Revolution will have to be fought

A CTYIng EVII.

Babies are, no doubt, very interesting
TO those who are the fortunate ownsn Of
them; but after mature deliberAtiop. We
do think very young ones are best at home.
We we're at = meeting, Q few EVENING"
ago, and had seat iu front of q Young
and interesting mother, who had her bsby
with her. From APPEARANCE We should
Judge it was her first born, aud therefore
she felt proud of her offspring.
She took very grea. pains to exhibit the
darling, and We could bear the ladies
around Us make many remarks concerning
the two.
The old ladies said il was q little dear:
a SurIy old bachelor grufHy whispered, no
doubt it's fathers pockets thought so.--
The married ladies humphed, and wanted
to know il her baby was the only bsbv
that ever was seen. Whilst The Young
misses blusbed as they said, If they bad
babies they would stay at home, and no.
make fools of themselves, by bringing
them to public places.
In the middle Of a pretty duet, which
was being sung, the baby either got tho
ebolic or some other casualty bsbyhood 10
subject to, and the mortified "ma" had to
put out with more mAledictious than ben.
edictioDs from the audience.
The best authorities on the subject Of
babies recommend home as the proper
place, after dark for all uader ten years Of
age, and we most cordially concur in the
opinion.
