OHIO LEGISLATURE.

Friday, March 1 1 ih.
The bill to repeal so much of an act
in reference to the Sandy and Beaver
"Csnsl Company as relates lo a grant of
the tolls accruing on the Ohio canal to
Aiil-company, and to make remune
ration therelor yiassed committee of
the whole, Mr. Kendall in the chair,
sndbeing-reported bank.
Mr. Allen said, that as he reported
the bill, he would give the reasons
which induced him to report it. Ma
then went on lo show that these tolls
were, by a law of 1825, pledged to a
speciticobject that in 1831 Ihey were
again pledged and granted lo this com
nsny. He contended that the latter
grant, which was sough! lo be repeal
ed by this bill, was absolutely void
the former grant was conclusive.
Rut supposing that the latter grant was
or is valid, and i ho Legislature had
power lo make i', the same principle
ox reasoning which would support the
latter grant, would support the pres
-enl bill that the power to divert the
lo'ls from Ihe first pledge, was not ex
'hausted by the laiter grant, but thai
the power could be exercised ad infin
itum. Ii was important lo the Siae
end the company lo have the contro
versy set i led.
Mr. M'Mecban moved the postpone
rnenl of ;he bill until December next.
The bill provided for a remuneration
to the company, lo be settled by ne
gociaiion. lie did nut believe lint a
proper amount could ever be fixed u
.pon -the company bail very exalted
notions of iheir advantage over the
Stale, and would rrquire a large Sum
for an adjustment.
Mr James said, he should go for Ihe
postponement, as lie believed the hill
would be lost in the other brunch for
waul of time. He look almost Ihe
3,ime legal view of the case as did Mr
Allen.
Mr Blake addressed tho Scna'e a
gainst the bill, going into a detail of
tacts in rela'ion to propositions of com
promise made by Ihe compai y.
After a continuation of ihe discus

zelle. FROM FLORIDA.
We have nothing later from Flotida
than from St. .Augustine, Marrb Gth
including ihe accounts of General
G.iitips's rencontres with i he Indian!
on Ihe 2:h and 29ih ultimo.
Tha Head.Quarlrrs of Major Gene
ral Seotl, who is placed in special com
mand in Florida, are at PicoltH, east
til the St. John's, twenlv or Ihinu
miles wfsl of St. Align, line. Gen.
Gaines, foiving repaired lo Florida for
the reisons staled below, has noi p's
cut his furce under the command of
General Scott, and hsd not been, be
fore nt set out on hit march back to-
ward Tampa, nearer to Head Quar
ters than within seventy or eighty
miles, (which is the drsiance between
Picolala and Fort King.)
The following paragraph explains
the circumstances under which Gene
ral Gaines went to -Florida:
The Pensacola Gazelle, of the 27th
ultimo, states that when General
Gaines reached that place, on his way
from New Orleans lo Tampa Hay, he
received orders to repair lo the Mexi
can frontier, lo which point it seems,
ihe 6th regiment of infantry has been
ordered. On ibis fact being Blade
known to the troops and volunteers,
the latier manifested much dissatisfac
tion, and insisted that, as they had
volunteered lo go under tin command
j 0f (jenera Gaines, lie should accom
pany them. Under these circumatan
ces, he determined to do so.
The editor of the Pensacola paper
says, this is the only propitious mo
ment for operation effectually, as Ihe
rainy season commences about Ihe 1st
of March, ihe 20th of April rather.
and for a month afterwards an army
will have abundant oocupatioo in con -tending
against the elements. No
man, he cominues, knows ihes-; facts
better than General Gaines I is be
lieved, therefore, that it is his design
to push forward in pursuit of the In
ditns as far as prudence will allow, he
fore the rainy season commences."
Gen. Clinch, lo whom Gen. Gaines
communicated bis situation after the
skirmishes of 28, h & 29lh, n quisling
a reinlorcement of mounted men and
provisions, was in command at Fort
Diane, and in direct communication
wi.h flan, Scott. His situation is de
scribed in a Le'ter from an officer at
ihat post, written on the 1st of March
from which ihe following ig an ex
irac' :
Gen. Clinch has only about 450 men
around him, 200 of those volunteers.
Col Hankhead, we learn, is on the
march here from I'icolai a with some
100 voluoieers. Gen. Eusiis is east
of the Si. John's, and Gen. Scoit, a
'he last accounts, was at P cola'a, I
think, however, he will be here b fore
many hours No supplies of any kind
have reached this post ye, but wo are
in hopes thoy will soon, as ih re is
much anxiety, m well as much neces
sily, lu muve down to the aid of (Jen
Games. The wagons were all sun
down to Picolala on Ihe 48' h for pro
visions. Some one or two small carls
were despatched before day this mom
ing with ammunition ..d a few stores
mil 23 head of beef eti'le to Gen.
Gain, s, but upon receiving - he express
i his day ai 12, a message was sent af
it r them to urdei them back, as th
Indians Would assuredly tr t ihem
Gen. Gaines, when he leh For' King,
bad bill 10 days' rations, and those
Geo. Clinch loo1; up from this place,
having bui little here. The weathei
is becoming vtry warm.

whosoever would, wasai liberty lo sn
and replenish his inner man with as
much roast beef and plum pudding a
he could dispose of a privilege of
which il may well be supposed the
poor of thai ancient and by no means
elegant city were no' backward to a
vhi t ihemselve. Hot the dinner alone
flanked as it was by an ad libitum
distribution of stout ale and cider could

of mine host of the Hush; he was in

uf guineas upon Ihe same anniversary
which were bestowed, In small sums
of from live shillings io twenty, npan
such of ihe guests as appeared los'and
most in need of something more than a
ilitinrr.
ii has been observed for some weeks
toward the close (fa parlicjlar year,
which 1 do not remember, thai an a!
derly personage, whom nobody knew
was in the habit of stepping into the
Hush every day; and lake a single
glass of brandy and water, with which
he contrived lo dally so long as was

was eldei ly, as I have said, and more
over, his person and garb, as well as
his habits, gave token of poverty. He
was hin, and apparently feeble, his '
coat was seedy, his hat rusty, his neth
er habiliments thread bare, and other I
w ise betokening long and arduuus ser
vice, and his expenditure nevt-r ex
reeded the sixpence required to pay
for the one glass of brandy -anil water.
INODOtty seemed lo know him; and af
ter a few of his daily calls he came to
be recognised by ibe waiters and land
lord, wnh thai happy adaptation for
which English landlords and waiters
are remarkable, as "ihe poor gentle
mm that reads thenewspoper."
If any doubls existed as lo his pov
erty they were dispelled when Christ
mas day arrived, and the poor gentle
man was seen taking his place at the
long-table and demolished an ample
allowance of ihe bue and pudding for
which there was nuthing to pay.
"Poor fellow?" soliloquized the land
lord of ihe Hush, "I'm sure he cant
afford that sixpence every day, for his
brandy and water, I must make U up
for him again." His measjres were
accordingly taken, .lohn the waiter
had his instrujiions; $ when the poor
gentleman handed his plate for anoth
er slice of ihe pudding, a guinea was
slipped into his hand with Ihe whisper
ed, "Masters compliments, Sir, end
says this will do to lay in some winler
Uannets for ihe children."
The poor genllem in looked at ibe coin
and then al Hie waiter; then deposited the
first in Ihe right hand pocket of tits small
clothes uud ilium drew forth a card which
he handed to John, quietly remarking;
'My ihauksutid compl ineuls lo your mas
ler, and tell him il he evur happens to
come my way, 1 hop,'; huM call upon me."
Tins was the inscription upon the curd:
Thomas Coorrs, 57 Srs.mb IjO.vcok.
Tho "poor gentleman1' was at Urislol,
superintending ihu erection of soma thirty
or forty houses, be was building on spec
illation, W'liat afterwards passed between
him and the landlord of ihe Bush, is nut
recorded; bui ihis much is known, lhal
the said landlord soon after engaged very
largely in the coaching business; that his
drafts on Coutts and Co. ihe great batth
ers, were always duly honored; that he
was very succesiful, and became one of

ABOLITION LADIES"
The Free Press, this week, is enriched
wiih a commuriicnti n, hearing theequivo
cal signature of "A number of Abolition
Ladies,'" copied from the Sinik County
Democrat. The avowed object of the
writer is, to correct whit she is pleased
to call a "misstatement," made by us, of
the views of Abolitionists. How far thai
writer has succeeded, our runders will
judge.
Since Ilia article which wo penned,
was published, and which, it seems, has
touched the trembling sensibilities of '
cumber of abolition Ladies;" tho people
of Stark county have uttered 'iheirsenti
ments on 'this topic, in a voice, whase
deep, cloar-Hiid decisive tones h ive re
moved nil tho solicitude which wc felt, as
tithe progress of Abolition principles in
thill 'quarter. We have, therefore, but
lifile to advance by way of rejoinder. In
OUT. opinion, no Igoofl rs likely to resul
from public discussions, in ti a siu ", o
the evils of slavery. N iver heless, if Ihe
writer referred lo, will throw off tho mask
and appear 'in his natural and usual dress
(small f.ldhcs,) he shall have a hearing.
But we aro unwilling 'o contend with an
anonymous writer, especially, one who
would tmsfi himself in the conflict.
Ai the sub ject is befiro us, we will
here take occasion lo remark again, i&at
wo are unalterably opposed lo ihe prin
ciple of slavery. Bui before wo engage
in any scheme for ihe removal ot the evil
we must he nullified that we can do so le
gully und efficieii ly ; that it ia our duty.;
and that our labors will not be productive

neath the tttrlace nf.jwbho feeling in the
slavO'Stales. the whole course of which is
visibly marked by a vires'topl and luxtiri
ant growth of ruble wmtimen: which, if
its salutary fountains shall not be check
ed tiy rhs drift and rubbish of Abolition
ism, an J dried up by the malign heat of
fanaticism, will, onedny, gush forth in a
thousand rivulets and spread the glad wa
tcrssif Liberty, throughout every order
of pupal ii lion, in thnl delightful and inter
esiing portion of our country, In a word, if
slaveholders are let alone, and permitted
lo do their own business in their own way,
the philanthropist may hope soon to see
in long perspective, the cloud of slavery
which now h-ivcrs over I pari of this Re
public, disappearing before the light uud
influence ol free principle?.
I icon 'lusion, we protest against the li.ti
motion of 'A number of abolition Ladies,'1
that wo tiro insensib'e to the eloquence
and powei of Ihe tears und smiles of
"Henven's last best gilt to man.'
But, ifwe would invite these smiles and
dry thosu tears, we must discountenance
Ihe untimely and ill -advised schemes, in
to which the phrenzyof abolitionists would
drive us. Of all the insurrectionary plots
among slaves, which wo have ever heard
of, il was a leading objact with the gene
ral and his subalterns, lo massacre the
old women, all the men, and younger chil
then among xbe whites ; and spare the
most beautiful of the young Ladies for
irtJfs. To the tears and sympathies of
young Ladies who nre in constant appro
(tensions ol insurrection among thoslaveu,
and, consequently, of being taken by via
lence into the horiible embraces of an in
censed and furious negro; he must havo
a heart of grar.ate, who could bo iosensi
hie, or indifferent. No one will doubl
that ibe operations ot abolitionist have

siona among tho Indies of the slave states;
mid, in this view of the case, we nsk, is
i here a lady inOhio, who would not blush
until her face was pnrchtd wi'h shame,
to be called an "abolition Lndi, ?'' Ifwe
thought there was one Lady in tho U S.
who possessed any reliuement of feeling
und who knew tho effects in tho South, of
abolition in tho N"rth, and yet would

not regret that wo are the son oi a woman,
we should rejoico thill ihat woman was

COMMUNICATIONS,
Messrs. Editors:
1 have just had the privi
lege of perusing it teller adressed lo u
gentleman of this place, signed by tho
lion . Samuel Creswel', member of ihe
Legislature ol this Sta'e, IWan the county
of Columbiana. From this letter, 1 learn
the sito'i' n of our county t the pieseut
for political purposes It eppears tha
the Legislature have pretended to attach
Carroll to Columbiana lor Senatorial
purposes, for ihe next four years ensuing.
1 learn nlso that this S n ttorinl District
is -to have but one Senator and lour Ke-
lresemalives. One Keprusenltitt-va for
Carroll end three tor 'Columbiana -
I 3 ho q'i"n c,w arses, now ones rt

Representatives and onlv one Senator
ihero Ireing hotf as many Senators oS
there are Representatives in the Legis
lature) The following is the best exphi'
nation I can give of ihis matter, (lo wi;,)
1)550 electors are entitled to Senator,
nnd of course two Representatives Co
lumbiana having 8d'!0 eieclorsts only es
tilled lo two R -preseiilatives and one
Senator without our hnlp, Carroll bav
ing 32tiS electors is entitled to one Re
presentative and hall a Senator; or, is
other words, one Senator, two years owl
of four. We, then, ought to have in ibis
district one Senator, Olid one other Sen
ator two years cut of lour, and three Ro
presentatives two in Columbiana and
one in Carroll, nod Ihis is precisely the
bill reported to the House by the com
mittee appointeJ on this subj cl, But it
appears, this bill has been amended,
when before the house; and I ha half Sen
ator for Carroll has been irausf- rred lo
some olio r district, and Columbiana h is
gul a third Representative in lieu there
of, bargain if sale 'xs very apparent here.
And this kind of management, of bargain
and sale in all ages, bus heell consider
ed worthy of political death! This is
one of Ihe most daring outrages against
political rights ever attempted in any
country, in any age of the world! Co
lumbiana did not need 10,000 votes to
elect a Senator. She therefore concluded
to si ll 3200 votes in Carroll to some oth
er district; and purchase another Repre
sentatire for herself; and thereby open
tip n way for all three of the present gen
tlemen (pedlars) to return next session;
and take their seats as usual. Had nut
this sale been effected, one of the traitors
mus! have been compelled lo remain at
home next session. This is Ihe only
reason for ihis high handed measure, that
ever can bo offered. But, if I am not
greatly mistaken, Coliimbiuiu is wall a,
ware, thai he thai countenances the thief
partakes of his guilt; and therelore ihese
men will ho permitted to remain at home
next winter, in order to acquire a more
perfect knowledge of that wholesome
role of bus and gain; and to endeavor lo
prevent the laurels ingloriously won in
iho last campaign from turning to weep
ing willows. Witness the conduct of
these pretended democrats last winter,
Ihey were so tennceous of the people's
rights they opposed the passage of a
hill, granting coiporate privileges to a
body of professing christians for benevo
lent purposes, because, as ono of the gen
tlumen observed, at Ihe time, the words,
"Pittsburgh Conference," were in the
hill. Therefore, the money would leave
tho Stale. Another instance of the
watchfulness of those innocent careful
creatures of the liberties of the people of
this Stale; (which was good, had they
been sincere,) was Ihe broadside let goat
tho Bank. From these daring acts with,
many others, I felt satisfied thnt all was
well, that these gentlemen (is I supposed
ihey were) would ask for nothing but
