AcsolUcd, That we, the people of Up
shur, and especially citizens of the town
of Buckhannon, West Virginia, feel
Justly indignant at the course persued
i,by the managers of the IEhceiing Regis
/ IeJ. towards our Senator, the Hon. Dan
iel d. r. Farnsworth, i'll the issne of
their paper of the LIST inst, and therefore
| in Justice to our esteemed Senator, pub
I iliciy in our assembly declare, that the
allegations and facts, as set forth in the
article, named and headed "IHe Hog
I Question finally settled 6I UpSitUr,'
are false and unwarranted i'll every par
/ ticular, that we positively know that
( the honorable Senator was honest in
his intention when claiming the Hog"
in question, rs verified by the best OF
testimony on file Mt the magistrates
office-that by the testimony now pre-
sented before this assembly, he had Il
/ Just and indisputable right, to claim
the said Hog as his rightful property
And the people are caused to feel still
more indignant ut the baSeness ofthe III

| Farnsworth, the alteration of the law
4 ful marks made upon said Hog,
which charge is, as proven by the evi-
i dence elected at the trial of said right oi
property, false as the tiend of darkness
and calls for us to condemn in tht
strongest terms the low and desptsible
course pessued by the editors of tht
! Register in this matter.
Z And De It further resOtCed, That we
ithe people aforesaid, cannot but eN
press our deep modification and regre
; felt at the course persued by public
journal of this State which attempted Z
, tread with imPunity upon the sacred
rights of the people-not only of thi
community, but OF the whole country
virtually denying to us the right o
