n the ground of that partisanship, the duty of

the new President, in regard to the exercise of the power of appointment, comes upon him with iU fullest responsibility. This is the Cass of Gen. Taylor. He cornea into office, and he finds hat from the highest to the lowest, with scarcely an exception, opposition to his election and support f the administration, whom his succeeds, were the testa not only by which men got office, but held them. He cannot but feel that this is unjust, and that the great body of the poople regard

It as wrong to them, which it is the duty of

the President to remedy. The whigs of the Union for twenty years were proscribed. To

be Whig was n ot only a sufficient reason, in

II that time, for the President not to appoint

such an one to office, bat was such an objection te an Incumbent ae required his removal. He might have every qualification for the place he may have discharged his duty so that no man eeuld do less than applaud him but if he ware Whig, nay, if he had not voted for the President then in power and supported his administration, he waa turned out.

crimnal cases. We have not publiseo this act because we supposed it to be ra force. Such, we are informed, ia not the fact. It will not be in force until it is published by authority, and filed in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit

Court. We publish it in order that Justices of the Peace, and all others concerned, may have an opportunity of seeing and becoming acquaint

We also deem it quite proper to publish the act

for the pa rpose of letting the people know that

each and every Justice of 'the Peace, with in aud for the counties named In the act is, by its pro

to do, on his being informed that an offence has been comilted. Ae to the benefits likely to arise from snch a

united with the W. C. Journal a few weeks

since In lamenting the rapid decrease in the

Ohio Associations. We give below some etaI's'ics compiled by that paper, that exhibit a de

plorable picture.

of the minutes of twenty Associations, records the fact, that there has been a decrease in these

twenty association! during the last year, of 458

members. Twenty-one Associations report a

decrease of 603! Seven, an increase of 458,

while thirteen report a decrease of 929! Since the above was written, the minute of Portage Association have been received reporting a decrease of 150 members. Twenty-one Associations report a decrease of 608! Seven,

an increase of 458, and fourteen, a decrease of

1079! But Ohio is not the only State thatahows a

decrease, but every State we have yet heard from. Michigan reports only 8.079 members for 1843. She reported 8.542 In 1647; showing a loss of 453 i n one year. Vermont reported

8.811 last' year, and thia year 8,545; showing a loss of 2G6! These States show a loss last year

of 1,327! If the 12 remaining States should equal these 3 in loss, it will not be lees than 5,-

from the Lakes to the Line! If the New York

Recorder can ascertain any other cause than that we gave some weeks since, w should be glad to see it, and we will make the "amende honorable." If It cannot, then we do say to onr brethren north, give o'er your over-wean

States. And to the ministers of Ohio, and oth-1 er rabid abolition States, esteem the salvation of souls from the second death of more present

of this wide spread declension, we would bs
