This question is involving the editor
of the Point Pleasant Republican in
contest with the Gallipolis papers, in
which he is likely to come out worsted.
The, controversy was brought about by
some remarks the editor of the Repub-
kcan made on resolutions passed by
disunion meeting, held in that town on
the 4th- of january, on which occa-
sion the editor of the Republican, fearing
they had not said enough to convince the
fire eaters of the interior that they might
possibly be tinctured with Abolitionism,
on account of close proximity to free
territory, offered a separate set of res
olutions, which were unanimo ously
adopted. The following is a portion of
the preamble, and the first and last of
the resolutions of james Hutchinson,
Esq
But as we do not deem it proper to rec
ommend an immediate dissolution of the
government we are content to. await a
reasonable time to see the result of the
late conservative movementin the North,
and whether it will not prompt the peo-
pie of that section to retrace their steps
and conform to the requirements of the
constitution, and restore peace and
happiness to the country, before we re-
sort to that last of remiaies, dissolution
ofthe Union. But being forewarned let
US be forearmed, and in view of the choice
we may be compelled to make: Be it
therefore,
Resozred, That, although living upon
the extreme border of the State, in that
portion which mnst, in theevent of disso-
luton of the Government, bear the great
burden of the troubles that may thereby
accrue, we are nevertheless Virginians in
feeling, interest and sem timent, and as
ardently attached to the institutions of
the State as the citizens of any portion
of the Commonwealth, and are willing to
cooperate in all proper measures that
may be devised, for the piotection of the
rights of the State and ofthe South.
Resoleed, That for the purpose of more
efectually securing the commercial and
social independence of the South, we
earnestly recommend that the several
States by their legislative as
semblies, contribute the sum of five hun
dred thousand dollars for the purpose Of
organizing and putting into operation a
weekly line of steam mail packets, alter
nately from the cities of Norfolk, Va,
and Charleston, S. c., to connect with
Liverpool or some other suitable Eu-
ropean port.
In the editors comments on the above
resolutions, he made a local application
Of them, and in doing so, incidentally
referred to Gallipolis, Poneroy, and
other places; but as we considered the
movement wholly for 'buncombe,'' we
did not notice it.
But it was different with the Gallipo-
lis papers. 1t appears that this apostle
of "non- intercourse has been soliciting
advertising in the Northern town of Gal
lipolis, has publisheS the same, and
actually taken pay for it! The eonsis-
tency Of Mr. Hutchinson was brought
into question, as was also his character,
and neither stand very fair showing at
the hands of the Dispatch and Journal
AS to the character of the man we
know nothing, but it would certainly
surprise his readers to know that but
few weeks since he was at our place and
engaged an avowed Republican Prin-
ter to work for him; but ON their failure
to settle some old score, the said Printer
declined working, and left the editor un-
able to issue his paper.

impossible for the South to adopt it,
much less that portion of Virginia and
Kentucky that border on Ohio <
