ocrmtid party should be' well defined, well to
ensure victory to prtserv th unity nd purity
fth ptrty, and cure the credit of eonsieteney
noT initial, Therefor, ,
f Risolyid, That th dmercy of Putnam
oounty, regarding at they do the qaeation of th
currency aa paramount to all others in import-
aace, take this method of reiterating their char-
iahed views en tliic momentous subject,, and pro'
trouncing onca mora their determined hostility to
vary apeeiaa of paper money, and their anxiety
( meka that poeilion lha baait of their future
partisan struggle.
- RaioLVED, .That lha trua tad only tost of a
maa party eheracter, is hie pocitionon the ouoi
tian of Banking, the time having passed when a
democrat can be the advocate of a paper currency,
and retain ma (landing in the demoeratio party.
Rmolvid, That the purity and aueceaa of the
demoeratia party in Ohio dopenda principally on
. making up the correct issue on the aubject of
banking that It becomes the Drat and great duty
f lha 8th of January eenvention to declare the
ettled and determined hostility of the democracy
' f Ohio te every specie of papor money, end their
determination la contend for nothing leas than ite
annihilation, and return to the currency of the
constitution, aa the only preaervative of eur ineti-
tutlena and libartiea.
Rmolvid, That we have viewed with pleaeure
the recent aaarked demonstrations of the Ohio
democratic preaa in favor of thia high and invul
nerable position, alwayf excepting the Ou'o
Stattiman, whieh in the handaof ite present pro
prietora has become lha organ and apologiat of the
paper money interest, and ia therefore unworthy
the coufidenoe and patronage of the Ohio domoe-
racy. ,
On motion, RessheJ, That the proceed'
ingi of thii Convontion be published in the
Cincinnati Enquirer, Ohio Eagle, and Kct

To Ovu Patron.- A new year in a timo
for new resolutions, tnd wo havo mado one ,
which if, hereafter to publish on Thursdays.
Our reaion for this ia that finishing our busi-
neia in tha beginning of tho week has proved
aa awkward ai going backwards, and has occa.
ioned irregularity. We hope that those who
are friendly to our journal, and whoso hearts
are opened to deeds of benevolanco by tlicso
holiday times, will try and favor us with a
" Chrittma gifi" ia the shnpo of addition
al aubscribers; when would be decidedly a
cheap and effiiaiont substituto for (ho turkeys
which we should have received but that our
condition of bachelorhood prevented.
There ia a class of freebooters, whoso
depredations we deplore. Wo hopo that
they will soixo this occaasion to ropsnt, and
tako tho paper to signalize thoir repentance ;
we mean those who have all along been ta
king their neighbor's. A man told us the other
day to slop his pnper and gave as a reason
that his neighbors took it from tho office, and
from his houso frequently, before ho hnd read
it hirasolf, and he thought that if they would
only take and pay for thoir own newspapers it
would be decidedly mora respectable. An
opinion in which wo fully concurrod.
Wo would say to such, borrow your neigh
bor's horse or his waggon, hia plough or his
aie, when ho wants thorn, but when you
carry off his paper first be sure ho has road
it. NufJT sod. . .
BkokbJail. By an advertisement in to
day's papor it will be seen that Wm. Holmes,
a ' counterfeiter, and Nolson nnd Major
Curtis, indicted for murder, made thoir escape
from tho county jail, on Saturday last, by
cutting through tho wall. The escape was
ingeniously plnnnod. Tho ineida of tho
cells of tho jail woro planked with two inch
oak plank; this was sawod through, and the
marks of tho cutting obliterated by a com
position of oil and blacking, which made it
resemble tho dingy wood so perfectly, that
dotcction was naxt to impossible. With a
. hingo broken off tho dungeon door the
brick was romovod, and escape made. The
Sheriff is no way to blamo as tho ccl!a
of tho jail aro above ground,'wilh single
walls, it is almost cortain that a desperate
villain will get out. No precautions can
keep them confined in a prison like ours, as
the event has proved. Evory exertion his
been made for thoir recovery by tho Shorifl'
but hitherto without success.
Loom out fob a squall.-The following
is an extract from a lottcr writton by a gen
tloman in Columbus to a friend in Steuben
villo. The farmers and others had better bo
. on the look out. We copy it from tho Stcu-
. lenville Union:
"A sufficient number of shares of tho
Stacro Company have been secured to force
' the celobratod William Neil to soil out.
He it no more one of the Proprietors of the
firm of Jeil, Moore, ana Vo.
Here I want to caution you and
' my friends in Btoubcnville to be very careful
how you sleep over night with any amount
of the Clinton Bank paper in your hands.
Serious doubts are entertained in this city,
aa regards the ability of this institution to
continue much longer. - Persons havo been
led to this conclusion by the following reasons
, Wm. Neil, directly or indirectly, is indebted
a fraction 6ver Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars; and a few other Directors to an
amount exceeding tho crpital stock, of said
Bank f 300,000; dthat tho Bank is in-'
dobtod to the Government , about ' Eighty
Thousand Dollars, and should a' draw be
made she cannot survive, as is believed by
exptmonced bankora m this place. -
Onr Mew Year's Address.
The following address, furnishod by a
friend who occasionally courts tho musoa,
shows that his woodland . lyre, though not
often strung, is not without tones of groat
beauty and power:
Of vera in wildB tho fancy lov'd to otray,
And wake her bright creations from tho shade,
Cesido tho woodland cascade loitering stray, u
And weave tier web trom beauty in the gluilo,
Perhaps indoed her sun-bright visions mado

Wmo comtkmpt or Law. Iii the Henato,
on the 15th inst., Mr, EJgerton introduced
a resolution calling on the Auditor of State
for information in reference to the State
indebtedness. On tho 18th, tho Auditor
reported that the Fund Commissioners had
borrowed m?ney, but as tkero was no evi
denes of it in fj5sa DlTice, he could not give
tlio required information. Tho law requires
a record of the loans contracted by the atato
to be placed in the Auditor's office; yet tho
Fund Commissioners have violated the law.
and Mr.' Kelley very reluctantly admitlod
this fact, on a motion mado by Mr.Eugorton
calling upon tho'Canul Fund Commissioners
to report what sum or sums they had borrow.
d since the adjournment of tho last Legis
lature. This last motion was staved off by
calling tho orders of the day, a whig scheme
to avoid voting for enquiry, and does not look
well for whig management of our finances.
Is thera any thing about this matter that
will not bear invontigation? It would seom
bo, or why is the law violated?
(7- Several matters of interest in the pro-
cco dings of the Ohio Legicluture, havo been

Wo aro glad of it. What will tho coons do

they can raiso a great pother and shield thoir
own rascality. .

parade and ceremony, and we havo not much con

In tlio department of EngravingB, it is well
known that Graham's Maoazinb has far sur
passed any periodical work ever published in
this or any othoi country. The highest am
bition of rival publishers seems thus far to
havo been to maintain a respectable imitation
of the numorous costly and beautiful works of
art with which the successive numbers of this
journal have been graced. In the course of
tho succeeding volumes many lMl'OKlAiSl
NEW FEATURES will be introduced.
SARTAIN, the most celobratod Mezzotint
Lkubaveu in the Union, and equal of tho
best in Europe, will continuo to furnish hi
oxquisito productions; and RAWDON,
WRIGHT AND HATCH; SMILL1E AND
HINSI1ELWOOD, and others of New York,
and CIIEENEY, DODSON, WELCH AND
WALTERS, TUCKER, and others, of Phil
adelphia, all among the most eminent Link
Engravers of the present century, havo
bcon engaged to furnish a succession ot high
ly finished steol engravings, superior to any
that have hitherto appeared in periodicals.
