for months througn me wnuemeaa,
carrying '.heir provisions on pac Morses and' encamping in the woods and prairies until they reach here;, then grazs or feed them and proceed with them to an eastern market. Thus have cattle been purchased at the Council Bluffs, up the Missouri, driven here and fed, and then sent on foot to the Philadelphia and New York markets, and thence shipped to the West Indies the entire operation of which

experiment happily succeeded, and thus originated a traffic, which has 3wolen from sixty head to an annual export of nearly two hundred limes that amount ; and which now employs much the largest portion of both the active and fixed capilal of this rich division of
Ohio.

by that of atiyman whose name stands recorded on the black page of political guilt, and we feel confident a high mind-
ed opposition hail rather tail in tncir
struagles for power, than owe a tri
umph to the shameless treachery of an
opponent.
On presenting the resolution of censure upon the conduct of Mr Roberts, Mr. Linder made the following pertinent remarks, which must meet a ready response from all who regard the elective franchise, or who believe m the ripht of the people to instruct their representatives:
Mr. Chairman I isustoiningand urging the adoption of this resolution, I am actuated by no personal dislike or hostile feelirg towards Mr. Roberts. In all his political struggles, 1 have given him my cordial support and have uniformly
discountenanced every suspicion of his
political integrity, that was afloat upon the breath of popular defamation. Confiding in the sincerity of his professions and his seeming singleness of devotion to the republican party, regardless of every admonition to the contrary, I stood by him in his most tiied and embittered contests for ofiice. But the
hour of repentance has overtaken mr,
and it is now my fortune to deplore a course ofconduct, in which I once most prided. He has falsified his pledge? lie has betrayed his trust he has for saken his country, and now I have forsaken him. It would, Mr Chairman, be but an idle waste of time to rral the circumstances under wh'n h Mr. Roberts was elected. To you and to every member of thimeeting it i? known that during the
self government, now making in this Hemisphere, rests its hopes of success, upon a rigid accountability of public servants uprivthe promptr.e-sand severity with whu h political faithlessness is punished. "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance," and I do trust that
watchful as we have heretofore been,
will not now slumber, or shrink
anu ne earnesu
pains miht be spared to procure a general attendance of the people. Mr. Samuel Ilaycraft, a former Jackson elector, but recently reciuitcil under the Clay (Up, said that "m hot,ed his presence would not be constUH vf into an acquiescence on his part in tho censure of M . Robert?, as he did lCt consider himself a mtmlcr of the meetv

Had Mr. R iberts redeemed his pledges, it would have all uded me i pleasure to have applauded his conduct ;
but alas! a redemption of Ins pledge?
Mr. Linder said, that "Mr. Chilian
in his last speech, had brought his owr claims before the meetine wholly un railed for. He believed that the peo-
I pie had dispced of Mr. ChiHon Ki d I hi3 claim', and he was int!i"fd foi b!
