Mr.. EDITOR:
To comply with a circular I re-
ceived marked "strictly confiden-
tial," I went on Saturday last to
your town in company with my
friend Cornelius Shaw, of Craw.
fordsville, to meet with those favor
ing the purchase of the Eby farm
for an Infirmary.
Thirty three of us assembled in
the upper room of the building oc-
cupied by F. Shafer as restaurant
Most every township and voting
precinct was represented.
On motion Of H. Hoyt, A. En-
sminger, Esq, of Kirby, was called
to the chair. On taking the chair
the dignifed Squire undertook to
make some appropriate remarks
suitable to the occasion, but owing
to the confusion occasioned by the
"set up ordered by d. S. Nigh, OF
Carey, the language of the eloquent
presiding officer cannot by reported
verbatim.
On motion Of H. Hoyt, the Hon.
j. Mafett was elected Secretary.
Mr.. NJ. explained to the meeting how
impossible it would be for him to
serve, considering the iateness of
the hour, the large amount of bust
ness before the meeting, and his
family arrangements; whereupon
Mr.. Maffett was excused, on the
ground that he had lust been newly
married." and Rob't. McKelly, Jr.,
was elected in his stead.
On motion of II. Hoyt, a commit
tee of three was appointed by the
Chair to draft preamble and reso
lutions expressive Of the feeling of
the meeting. The Chair apr ointed
H. Hoyt, George Greek, of Ridge,
and G. Shaw, of Charlottesville, said
committee. While the committee
retired, another set-up was ordered
by Mr.. Updegraff. On their return
the committee, through its chair
man, reported the following:
| -WHEREAs-The people of Wyan-
dot county have, by vote, decided
in favor Of an Infrmary, and the
Commissioners, in obedience to the
law, have decided in favor of the
purchase Of the Eby farm; now,
therefore, we the Democracy assem-
bled, dc hereby endorse the action
Of said Commissioners, and pro-
claim the same to be a Democratic
measure. And, Whereas-certain
persons heretofore known as Demo
Gratis (they having acted with US
but by reason of their open opposi-
ton to this measure of the party,
have alicnated themselves, from US,
and deserve TO be branded as trait
ors to the party and the common
good, therefore, be it
Resozved, 1st. That r. R. Mckee
and there followed the names of
217) others be publicly read out of
the party.
Resozved, I'd, That those Repub-
.licans who come to us now, in this
orr time of trouble, and aid US with
their support and influence, are here
byassured ofour heartfelt gratitude.
Reso1ved, Sd, That we recognize
in those Republicans who refuse to
sign either the petition or remon-
STRANGE, the truth of the old maxim,
"that half q loaf is better than on
bread"
Resolved, 4th, That in our opin-
ion, for proper management of
this institution-the welfare of the
unfortunate poor, and the public in
terest-requires besides General
Superintendent, a Superintendent
for each of the prominent branches
of Agriculture and other ayoca-
tions to be carried on.
Resolved, 9th, That the salaries
of the officers and the compensa-
ton of the Superintendent of the
1nfirmary ought to be in accord
anee to that spirit of liberality that
has ever characterized the Demo
cratic party when in power.
Respectfully submitted and
