At a meeting of the citizens of Williams

county ; and several gentlemen from Farmer,
Hicksville, Millford and Tiffin, in Defiance
county, were in attendance. After spirited
remarks from several gentlemen of this and
Defiance county, expressive of their indigna
' tion at the unprecedented, unjust and op
pressive action of the Ohio Legislature in
erecting the new county of Defiance, a com
mittee previously appointed for that purpose
reported the following resolutions, which,
after an animated discussion, were unani
mously adopted :
' Whereas, by a law of the last session of
the Legislature of the State of Ohio, the
townships of Tiflin, Washington, Millford,
Farmer, Hicksville, Delaware and Defiance,
have been stricken off from the county of
Williams, and la conjunction with certain
other territory, erected into the county of
Dauance; and, whereas, the said townships,
and the residue of the said old county of
Williams, are yet comparitively new but
sparsely populated and were before the di
vision sufficiently burdened with debts and
taxes; and, whereas, the said county of Wil
liams was, and is, largely in debt; and said
debt was mostly contracted while the terri
tory now composing said county of Williams
was mostly a wilderness, and through the
means and procurement of that portion of
aid county now included in the county of
Defiance; and, whereas, said law exempts
said townships, included in said county of
JJehance, trom a large proportion of said debt;
and, whereas, the expenses of removing the
county seal from Defiance to Bryan, in the
year, 1840, and the expenses of the public
buildings at Bryan, are wholly to be borne
by the present county of Williams; and
whereas, the said removal, from Defiance to
Bryan, was in accordance with, and almost
unanimous vote of, the aforesaid townships
to relocate said county seat; and, whereas,
said law was carried through the Legislature
as a party measure, and by means of the
most gross misrepresentation and falsehood
and in face of the fact that at least three
fourths of the inhabitants in the territory
affected thereby, and a majority of the inha
bitants within the present county of Defiance,
were opposed to its passage ; and, whereas,
the laid law will operate most ruinously on
the people of Bryan and its vicinity, who,
relying en the good faith of the Ohio Legis
lature, have located at Bryan or in its vicinity ;
and whereas, in order to procure the passage
of said law. it was represented' to the Legis
lature (among many other falsehoods) that
an almost impassable swamp lorms a natural
division between the present county of Wil
liams and the county of Defiance; There
' fore. &
, Resolved, That we regard it as something
extraordinary and unparalleled in the history
oi legislation to make such a law a party
measure; and we regard its passage as
4aep disgrace to the party in the majority,
by whom it was torced through in opposition
.to the overwhelming majority remonstrating
agaiuai us passage.
Defiance, which claims to enjoy so many na
tural advantages, and which lias been settled
longer than any other town in this portion of
the Mate, and which has been continually
an object ef special legislation, and which is
till behind any ether town in the State of
the same age in the number of its inhabi
tants and in public improvements, having
never completed any without the assistance
of the State, and being still without any
meeting house or other public place of reli
gious .worship completed, and without even
a finished school house, (both measures
; having been attempted, but the energies of
the citizens in beta instances, have been ex
hausted before either could be completed) is
fit subject for the legislative assistance of
our recent benevolent Legislature.
Resolved, That the few honest men in the
town of Defiance, whohave resisted this
outrageous measure, in its inception. Dro?rcss
and completion, deserve to bo remembered
as men of principle, and above the noisy
babble of the narrow-minded neighbors with
' whom it is their misfortune to live.
. Resolved, That there is not a town in the
. State which has received the same amount
of legislative favor with so few inhabitants as
' Defiance, and who at the same time have
been so utterly unworthy of it.
, Resolved, That the Legislature of Ohio by
. . . p lie . p
cAvuenuug uiai pan ui vauance county lor
merly contained in Williams county from a
large portion of the debt, for the payment of
which it was legally and honesty bound,
have exhibited their extraordinary familiarity
with that clause of our Constitution which
prohibits the passage of any law impairing
the obligation of contracts, and their peculiar
disposition to carry out its provisions.
") Resolved, That we are compelled to
view the act passed by the last Ohio Legisla
ture, in erecting the new county of Defiance
against the express wishes of three-fourths
of the' CHUM"18 affected thereby, as one more
act showi'i!? polilical'degradation of those
who voted' fo. that Project.
' Resolved, Tha ,ue 8reat swmp which, as
was pretended, fornu th.e nalural division be
tween Williams and DerrncC0UlU,;'sexis,s

peculiarly interested in the cret.'tion. ,h8
new county of Defiance, and is a u'Movery
in the geography of our county that, buf Jr
jibe purpose of carrying through that measure,
would have remained forever undiscovered,
like to us, the Legislature, aud the very in
dustrious exploring expedition, who, in tre
veling the county for petitioners, were so
fortunate as to make and publish the disco-
ry .. '";, . ; ... .; .
Resolved, That the impassable swamp be
tween northern and southern Williams coun
ty, so much spoken of, and so much denoun
ced by our friends in Defiance, consists of
the legal voters ot Williams county, who bad
intimated to the hungry office holdors and
offico seekers, in Defiance, that the public
teat was about to be removed from their
official lips, and had they, as heretofore, been
permitted to hold all these offices, aud been
still supported by the people's money, they
would never have dreamed or an impassable
swamp between northern and southern Wil
liams county. .
Resolved, That we envy not the quiet of
the consciences ol those men who have made
such false representations in the townships
of Tiffin, Farmer and Millford, in order to
induce a portion of the voters of these town
ships to sign their petitions.'
Resolved, That the majority of the com
mittee on New Counties, in the Senate and
House, have exhibited a disposition, in refus
ing to hear from those opposed to the new
county, in refusing their remonstrances, and
in holding private meetings to consider this
subject at which the friends of the new
county of Defiance were freely admitted and
those opposed to it excluded, which ought
and will render them contemptible in the
eyes of all honorable men.
Resolved, That we view the action of
those Members of the Ohio Legislature, who
voted for the division of Williams county, as
an act unprecedented in legislation, and we
consider those gentleman who have been so
heartily engaged in wire woiking and log'
rolling for the last six months for the division
of this county, unworthy the name of enlight
ened citizens.
Resolved, That those members of the late
Legislature who opposed the passage of the
infamous and unjust act creating the new
county of Defiance, Tor their untiring zeal in
our behalf, merit from us, and all interested
in the cause of justice, our sincere thanks.
Resolved, That it is the duty of all well
disposed persons, faithfully and fearlessly
unite, regardless of party considerations, in
expressing their disapprobation of a measure
ot so talal tendency, and in attempting to
procure a restoration ot our lormer bound
aries. Resolved, That Levi Cox and Samuel
Quinby of the Senate, and John Brown of
the House, are the bright spots in the whig
legislature, aim mat to them, and the whole
democratic portion of both Houses of the
Legislature, for their sense of justice and
zeal for right, we tender our sincere and
heartfelt thanks.
Resolved, That Samuel Quinby, Levi Cox
and John Brown, will be remembered in the
hearts of the people of Williams county, when
H. G. Phillips, and his son-in-law, Senator,
and the other land speculators engaged in
the passage of this in iquitous bill will be fofgot
ten with all the nefarious schemes which
they have originated for their personal ag-
granaizement.
Resolved, That the whole scheme for
erecting the new county of Defiance nasi
been got up, carried on, and consummated
solely by land speculators, office seekerssand
loafers, and is a matter in which the real
people of the county had nothing to do, and
in which they could not be heard.
Resolved, That the passage of said act is
alike repugnant to all whigs and democrats
ot Williams county, who are not under the
influence of local prejudices. -
Resolved, That the erection of the new
county of Defiance is wrong in principle and
unjust in us uperanons, ana in a commercial
point of view will be productive of evil even
to legislation-favored Defiance, and had the
citizens of Defiance been capable of taking
an enlarged and business-like view of the
matter, they could not but have seen it,
Resolved, That so great and so numerous
are the evils of this act, that the experience
oi me next ten years will not develop all the
injury wmcd nas been thus ruthlessly com
mmeu.
Resolved, That the Hon. C. M. Aten, of
Columbiana, is entitled to the thanks of the
people of this county for introducing a bill
to repeal said act, and that we approve the
conduct ot our late Senator and Kepresenta-
tive in their aoie and zealous opposition to
this iniquitous act, and that we point the citi
zens of the State to the fiict that the friends
of the new county of Defiance, in the Legis
lature were irom oistant parts ot the Sitale,
and consequently knew little of the effects
ot so unjust a measure.
Resolved, That we appeal to the lovers of
equal rights and exact justice throughout
the state, to restore to us tho former bound
aries of our county, and we cheerfully invite
uiBiii in a cmiuia examination oi our claims.
Resolved, That in tho moral covarnmei.i
of the world, it is impossible that a measure
got up, carried on, and consummated with
so much barefaced fraud aud deceit, can
ensure any real permanent benefit to its pro
lectors.

of two dollars and fifty cents per day, for at

Other modifications of the like kind were
made; the salaries of favorites were raisod

A Sheet of Paper. It is curious to fe
fleet, says the Boston Eagle, to what uses a
sheet of paper may be put. It lies before
you in a state ,of virgin purity, and its ut
most value is a cent. It is scrawled over
with pot-hooks and hangers, a few " pro-
raises to pay" are written on it, and it be
comes good for thousands of dollars.
piece of wedding cako is wrapped in it, and
it is kissed by the rosy lips of a lovely maiden,
and placed under her pillow as a spell to
conjure up in her dreams a handsome lover,
a fine estate, and a moderate quantity ot re
sponsibililies. It is received by one person
and he blesses it for bringing him tho glad ti
dings of promotion to a fortune; by another.
and he curses it for the information that he
is disinherited. In accordance with the
characters upon it, it lights tip the eye or
waters the cheek; it makes the heart throb
with loy or quail with sorrow; it is treasured
as a precious relic, or torn in pieces with in
conceivable disgust. I ne destiny ot the
sheet of paper on which we are now writing
is to afford copy for our Devil, and food for
reflection to thousands.
Stingless Bef.s. We passed several wild
bees' nests, constructed m hollow trees.-
These insects have no sling, and their honey,
or mapa, has an actdtious taste. It some
unlucky passer-by knocked against the tree,
or their entrance, which is frequently tunnel
shaped, and constructed with a sort of mor
tar made -of earth, they appear in legions
and settle upon him; and, although they do
not sting, they prove very troublesome, es
pecially if they get into the hair, which they
seldom tail to do. What a scampering over
bush and stick, when by accident or in frolic
ihe winged colony had been dissurbed!
The Indian runs, generally, on such occa
sions with his Tiead- downwards, and tries to
get out of their reach in the. speediest man

'War Willi England, 'i
The affected, contempt for the power of
the United Stales which characterized the
British press during the late war which con
tributed in so great a degree to cause it, and
to continue it, by inspiring that peoplo with
the idea that we should be an easy prey is
now again strikingly manifested in the Bri
tish Journals.- The insolent tone of the
British public towards us is n.t remarkable
when we consider the modium through
which alone they regard us. Regarding us
alone as depicted in the contemptuous and
abusive language of their press, not one ot
which ever attempts to present the Ameri
can side ef questions, and without a voice in
the land raised to defend us, they can only
be" taught respect by events so striking and
nolorious as to defy tho art of deception.
We gave them some lessons of this charac
ter in the lata war, when, ntter deieaung
them by land and sea, they finally discover
ed that wo had something more than "three
frigates for a navy, and two regiments for an
army." .
1 hat generation has now measurably
passed away, and the present seem again
possessed of the idea at least their public
lournals and public men have been ass
duous in inculcating it that we are without
any army or navy; that we are weak and
cowardlv; devoid ot public spirit and patri
olism; as a nation, intent only on plunder
ing the feeblest nations; and, as individuals
equally bent on knavish acquisitions; and so
distracted among ourselves, that the Union is
but a " rope of sand;" and that we are hardly
a match, it resistance be made to our law
less aggressors, for the turbulent and eflem:
nate Mexicans.
It is only surprising that, with such opi
nions, they hesitate a moment, when we of
fend them as it seems that wa have ot late
to send over a handful of men, and sloop-
of-war, and put an end to our iniquitous go
vernment. If appears however, that they
deem soma preparation necessary for thi
excursion; and, though we do not merit such
consideration, they are going to considers
hie additional expense in the outfit, over and
above their usual costly equipments, nlthougl
they do not so far honor us as to declare the
fact. Wa believe however that when b
Robert Peel recently declared that the go
vernrnent was prepared and resolved to main
tain their claim to Oregon, he referred to the
additional ten millions lately added to the
navy estimates, and tho additional number
of four thousand seamen ordered to be on
listed at part of tho preparation. What
other occasion the British government has
for this increase of force, at a time when he
relations with other foreign powers, so far as
we are informed, do not seem to present any
exigency, we are at a loss to know. In
deed, we regard the detraction which the
English press and English writers and speak
era have systematically dealt toward us, as
part of the preparation for assuming a bell
gerent attitude. This was more essential
in fact, than military stores and men. It was
necessary to imbue tho public mind there
with animosityatowards the United Stales, to
fire up religious zeal against our supposed
infractions of the laws of Heaven, to inflame
national jealousy ;n a word, to excite all
the strong passions of the English, and al
the same time present descriptions of ou
weakness, in order to reconcile the people to
undertaking a war with us. It has, ne
doubt, been a part of the calculation, that
their incessant and wide-spread calumnies
would deprive us of sympathy and suppor
from other nations, besides withdrawing
from us at home that class of our citizens
who defer to the English in every thing.
No patriotic man desires war with any na
tion, and particularly with Ureat Diitaui, if i
can be avoided. It is a calamity, whether
regarded in its effects upon individuals
upon the nation, which cannot be too much
deplored. It is not from mere timidity, or
apprehension of suffering for themselves
personally, that our people have shown
themselves averse to conflect. It is from
the higher principle of religious duly
Knowledge ot me crimes attendant upon
war, its pernicious influences upon individua
character, and its effects in retarding the
growtn ot our empire, on which hangs so
much of the hopes of mankind, for Ihe moral
and intellectual improvement and the civil
liberty of the race. It is from this clovated
position that American statesmen have re
garded the subject. It is in the spirit ofthe
fathers of our country a spirit so engrafted
on the institutions, laws, and policy they have
established, and which impresses itself so
early on the mind of the American youth,
that it would seem to have descended with
the blood they inherit. Nothing was ever
more true, therefore, than tho sentiment ex
pressed by Mr. Polk in Ins inaugural addicss
that every extension ot our empire gavf
an additional security of peace to the world

wo shall soon again be called on to take up

It is perfecly manifest that they regard this
as a favorable moment to renew the system
ot aggression upon us which has resulted in
war heretofore ; which to submit to, is only
to invite new wrongs wrongs premeditated.

or an entire abandonment of our rights as a
nation. The only mode to avoid this is the
firm adherence by the President to the let
ter and spirit of his inaugural address. . Ho
will ho suslainad by the nation in that; for,
notwithstanding the English ministers chooso
to level their lances at Mr. Pclk, it is not to
bo forgotten that the previous action of the
Hou so of Representatives had, by an im
mense majority, given their sanction to his
anguage. By tho truckling abandonment
f our ngh!s pursued by Mr. Webster in the
Ashburton treaty, we lost the suhiect of
controvery, forfeited tho respect, of tha
world and of ourselves, and invited new and
unfounded pretensions from eur adversary.
The Oregon (luestifrn ,.,.
' Tho present question is one of territory,
thousands of miles from the United States;
of land in which we have no agreeable asso
ciations, in which we have no interest as a
nation, and with which there can ba little
connected to create prido of ittnchmoaf. It
was not supposed that it could ever become
one of the States of the Union. Mr. JefTet
son, and hundreds of others since his time,
believed that the most that could be done
for, or with Oregon territory; was to assist in
settling it with republicans, supplying it'with
republican laws, and then aiding it in beco
ming an independent republic. The idea ef
annexing that as a part of a 'government,
whose centre should be Washington, would
be an idea which could acquire no addition
al prepestcrousncss from an attempt to an
nex Ireland on the other side. V. S.Cu
zette. -
This presents one view of the question;
but it is a view notvery well calculated to
relieve the difficulty. The Gazette , says,
that Oregon is a land " in which we have no
interests as a nation." The British Minister
declares, at the same lime, in Parliament,
that this territory is necessary to tlun, to
make a passage fiom their NorlhJ American
to thoir Indian possessions. How hnppens it,
that Great Britain has need of this passage
way, and we have none? How happtns it
that, a nation the other side of tho At
lantic Ocean can have such deep interest in
the Valley of -the Columbia, and we who
live heie have none ? . ,
The Gazatte asjumss that Washington
City must bo forever the Seat of Govern
ment. It might just as well assume, that the
Mississippi river should be the dividing line
of this Union. ..
. It also speaks of Oregon as of as 1'kkIs
consequence to us as Ireland. The same
was thought, not many years since, by thous
ands of people of the whole western coun
try. A pamphlet was written to show that
Ohio was one vast mudpuddle, and fever and
ague the perpetual complaint of every man,
woman and child, who entered it. This may
havo fcbeen the foundation of Mr. Seldon's
recent philosophy, that marsh miasm had
caused the degeneracy of the American peo
ple! The Buckeye lasses, however, are a
blooming race, in spite of fever and ague;
and the Buckeye boys Jiare outlived ihe
miasm, to adurn their native State with tha
fruits of industry and the achcivemenls of
enterprise. So it may be with Oregon. It
is within the limits of possibility that people
might live and flourish there. It -is within
Ihe scope of iinaginatjon, that they might
soon have a railioal from the goodly city of
Philadelphia to the Rocky Mountains.
The view of the U. S. Gazette is'either
very short sighted, or we have already com
mitted profound blunders, and should make
haste to repent. The poace of 1783 found
us with the thirteen States, who had fought
the Revolutionary War. They were scatter
ed almtst entitely along the Atlantic strip,
belweeen the Oiegon and the Alloghanies.
Why did they not confine themselves to that?
Where was the necessity to the stability and
harmony of the Union, that the inhabi
tants should plunge over the mountains, and
embosom themselves in the forests and
marches of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana or Illi
nois? Virginia nobly granted to the Unin
this North Western Territory, and the first
step was to receive five new States. Next,
we purchased Louisiana, enough probably
for eight or ten Slates. Then wa bought
Florida, die, &c. In fine, we have much
wore than doubled the territory of the Ame
rican Union. Why did we do all this? Not
one step in the whole process wat at all ne
cessary. It might have been dweided, that
tho original thirteen Slates should ba tho
Republic, and no more. It may now ba de
cided, that the new Territory we acquire
shall be governed as Territories, and not as
Stales. But tha argument against extension
was just as good half a century ago, as it is
now. It is at all times a question of expe
diency only, to be determined by the sound
sense of tho people. Cm. Chronicle.

of the most current slanders of iho whig
press against the eminent Head of the' State
Department :
"The tenacity with which whigs will
slick to a refused story is not ofien exempli
fied more sttongly than in the repetition of
the attack, charging Mr. Buchanan, of Pa.,
with having once said, some thirtv veara nam.
that he thanked God he had not a drop of
democratic blood in his veins. Thitt is
some variation from the original story, which
was, that if he thought he had a drop of de
mocratic blood in his veins, ho would lot it
out. But neither story has any truth in it,
and it has been so demonstrated as com
pletely as any such thing can be. .

In the course of debate some rabid whig al
