' - OHIO AND . MICHIGAN. Extract from the Report of the Committee upon the Boundary Question Ohio Legislature. 'Your committee, after having; examined into tbe proceeding of the Ohio Legislature upon the eubictupto the last session, perceive that Ohio lias assumed : no attitude but that of the most conciliatory character, and such has been her forbearance that it has been tortured into a surrender of her rights. Your committee feel, from all which they have been able to gather, in relation to this controversy, that when the appeals of Ohio have been disregarded and unheard by the only party, with whom she is in collision, if at all, it was but natural to expect mora effectual means to secure herTights. The course of Michigan, as the tenant or ward of the General Government during every phase which this controversy has assumed, should be clearly and fully noticed. What was her course after the running of Harris's line! She, through Mr. Cass, with

out any subsequent law or order from Congress, after Ohio had assented to that line, by a resolution of the General Assembly, procured the running of Fulton's line notwithstanding the Surveyor General declared that Harris's line was the northern boundary of Ohio and thus (while Mr. Cass was Governor of the Ter.) was her jurisdiction extended over the limits of Ohio, by means as insidious as unjust. hat, let us Us ask, was her course last winter! While the question was pending in the Congress of the United States, and after the Senate had passed a bill favorable to the line claimed by Ohio; and before Ohio had intimated the course she would pursue in case her claim was rejected, Michigan, by her Legislative Council, passed a law making it highly penal for any person or who should exercise or attempt to exercise, any official functions,who should officiate in any office or situation under the laws of Ohio, within any part of the Territory over whom she had thus assumed jurisdiction. But to evince her liberality, she has, through her Convention, recently made a proposition to Ohio, upon certain conditions to permit the line to be run. To this proposition Ohio cannot accede, coming as " it does from a body possessing no powers of legislation, and the conditions being incompatible with the f rights of Ohio. The language is you may run the line, but you must forbear the existence of jurisdiction. To show tho feelings and course of Michigan the Committee would refer to the result of the efforts of the Commissioners of the United States, Messrs. Hush and Howard, to make a temporary adjustment of the difficulties. They made a proposition to the Executive of Ohio, and the acting Governor of Michigan, in substance that the line should be peaceably run, and that until Congress should have an opportunity of acting upon the subject, no criminal prosecutions shall be encouraged. In what spirit was the proposition received! By the Executive of Ohio . it was at once accepted. By the Acting Governor of Michigan it was promptly rejected; and these Commissioners were compelled to return without accomplishing their mission, by the refusal of Michigan to acquiesce in the course by them recommended. Assurances were made also to the citizens residing on the disputed territory, by the United States Commissioners, Messrs. Rush and Howard, that no interruption should take place in carrying into effect the laws of Ohio; and in consequence of such assurances the citizens were entirely unprepared to defend themselves against the acts of Michigan, by reason of which several of them were abducted, and .the females of their families left unprotected and alone, and in many instances insulted. Ohio, after finding that Congress would not act upon the subject, and after the act of Michigan re- . ferred to, determined to assert her own rights on the subject of her northern boundary. Accordingly the law of the last session passed, authorising the run ning and re-marking of Harris's line, and extending her jurisdiction over the territory to that line. And j it is in reference to the execution of this law, that his Excellency the Governor has directed the attention of the Legislature. In this communication are to be found facts in relation to the course of Michigan preventing the citizens of Ohio from peaceably discharging the duties due from them to her that ought and would, under other circumstances, place a stain upon the character of that Territory, which years of chivalrous actions could not obliterate. We know that she has attempted to parry the con- . sequences of such a course, by appealing to the people of the Union, by placing Ohio in a menacing attitude upon her territory, brandishing with her giant arm the weapon of torture and of death to terrify her into a peaceful submission. From all this we dissent, and'appeal to the facts of the case to furnish the most triumphant vindication of our course. To these facts Ohio appeals, to show who proceeded to the disputed line with the weapons of death, and attempted to make them do their office. Ohio has arrived at that point, in the opinion of your committee, w hen nothing remains for her to do, but to give the warning voice of her people, that the law of last winter must and will be sustained. Your Committee, therefore, recommend the adoption of the following resolutions, viz: Resolved by the General Assembly of the Slate of ynto, inai me jortnern boundary ot this State, is by a direct line running from the southern extremity of Lake Michigan, to the most northerly cape of the Miami Bay; thence, north east, to the Territorial line; and by the said Territorial line to the Pennsylvania line; and that it is due to the people of this State, and of the United States, to assert her right to the boundary" aforesaid; and that she will maintain the same, by any & every means which may be lawfully used by a free and independent State of this Union. Resolved by the General Assembly of the Slate of umot i uai me governor do, ana lie is hereby authorized to request the President of the United States, to appoint a Commissioner or Commissioners, whose duty it shall be to meet with the Commissioners appointed on the part of this State, in accordance with the provisions of the act entitled "xn act defining the Northern Boundary of certain counties within this State, and for other purposes," passed ' February 23, A. D. 1SS5, and join in examining and re-marking the line west of Lake Erie, between the State of Ohio and the Territory of Michigan, commonly known as "Harris's Line," as provided in said section of the act aforesaid. wsoiveajurtner, That if the President of me unueu states should decline or omit complying with the request of this State, then, and in that case" the Governor is hereby authorized and required to cause said examination and re-marking the line, aforesaid, to be completed at as early a day as practicablc, by the Commissioners appointed by him, in pursuance of the provisions of the aforesaid act. Passed both Houses, June 16, 1835. Syracuse, N.Y.June 17. Singular Disaster. The Canal Boat, Toulon Troy &, Erie Line, was destroyed by fire, on Friday night last, a few miles east of this village. An unusual, and to some of the passengers, offensive odor on board of the boat, was perceived by them, which was made the subject of so much complaint, that after retired to their berths, the Captain was induced to go into.the midships to ascertain the cause. On making ins entrance through the partition-door, an . exp os.on instantly took place, which tore off the uecK oi mat pari o the boat, and threw the Captain bP8nf,--l read so rapidly to every . part of the boat that the passengers had barely 'TZS Vhe flamfS bya Pcipitate retreat which condition were a number of females There were several farniles on board, emigrating to the wet, and in the whole about twenty passengers

"4 who lost their house-hold furniture, trunks, wearing arp trel, money, and indeed every thing, except what they were sleeping in. The boat and cargo, consisting of ten or twelve tons of merchandise, was consumed to the water's edge. The Captain of the Toulon alone suffered from the fire, being badly burnt in the face and hands. The explosion was occasioned by the bursting of a carboy of ether, supposed by expansion from the heat of the weather, which filled the boat with inflammable gas. The intervention of the partitions between the cabins and midship alono protected the people on board from the most imminent hazard. No blame is attached to any one, and the accident is without parallel in the navigation of our canals. Standard.

PUBLIC MEETING. Pursuant to public notice, a meeting of the freemen of Dearborn county, to the number of about two hundred, was held at Wilmington, on Saturday, the 20th day of June, 1935, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Representatives in the next Le gislature. The meeting was called to order by Col. Wra. Flake, when DAVIS WEAVER, Esq. was called to the Chair, and Samuel Jelley was appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting having been stated by the Chair, on motion, it was Resolved, That the citizens of the different townships row present, be requested to withdraw and select from among their respective townships any number of citizens not exceeding five, who shall constitute a committee to nominate candidates, and to report resolutions expressive of the views of this meeting. The meeting then adjourned for the purpose of having the provisions of the resolution carried into effect. The meeting-house, where the people had convened, being too small to accommodate those present, a committee was appointed to procure a larger room, who reported that they had obtained a room in the county Seminary. The meeting having again convened in the Seminary, the different townships represented at the meeting, reported the following persons as their members of the committee Sparta township Ebenezer Bedenah, Stephen J. Payne, Spencer Davis, Eliel Chaflin, James Wills. Lawrenceburgh John Johnson, William Williams. Citsar creek Alexander Noble, William Forsyth. Union Robert Wilber, John Downey, Allen Wilber," James M. Hastings, William How. Manchester G. H. Johnson, Edward CanSeld, Wm. Caldwell, Lewis Payne. Randolph Samuel Fulton, Dr. John Morrison, JohnTait,jr. Samuel Best, jr. Alex. E. Glenu Laugher y Walter Kerr, John Parks, James Lindsay, Clayborne Allen, Edward Owens. Horace Bassett, Esq. then addressed the meeting in a very able speech, after which the committee retired, and being absent a short time, returned and made the following REPORT: The committee, agreeably to instruction, report that they have nominated Thomas Howard, He.v ry Walker, and William Con a way, as candidates to lepresent this county in tho next House of Representatives of Indiana. And the question being taken on concurring in the nomination, it was cnaximojsly agreed to. The committee also reported to the meeting the following preamble and resolutions, to wit: When, in a free country like this of curs, a few sordid and selfish men endeavor to obtain power by j trampling upon the rights of the majority when a! set of men, 6uch as compose a junto at Lawrenceburgh, endeavor to gull and entrap the people, by holding out false and shallow pretences and when men without principle, and entirely regardless of the best interests of the couGtry, adopt measures for their own aggrandizement, it becomes those whose best interests are thus set at naught, to adopt such measures as will, in their opinion, enable them to meet their enemy face to face, and with weapons of their own choree. Therefore Resolved, That we believe the location of the County Seat at Wilmington is in accordance with the wishes of a majority of the freemen of this county, and that in said location the Commissioners acted from honest and correct principles. Resolved, That we do most positively deny that any fraudulent or underhanded means were made use of in circulating and obtaining signers to the late petition which effected the re-location of the County Seat; but that the matter was fairly and honestly conducted; and we call upon those who make the charge, to produce the proof. Resolved, That the attitude assumed by the people of Lawrenceburgh is such that renders it necessary for the balance of the county to be on their guard, for their design is the self-interest of the few to the injury of the many. Resolved, That we believe the object of the people of Lawrenceburgh is more to elect men who will meet their views and go for the Mammoth Bill advocated in the last legislature, (which would bring everlasting ruin and distress upon us and our posterity,) than to secure the retention of the Court House at that place. Rosolved, That we will not support any man for Representative who advocates internal improvements, such as rail roads and canals, on the principles of the mammoth bill. Resolved, That the meeting held at Manchester on the 15th instant, with closed doors, when acting on matters of interest to the whole county, was in direct opposition to the principles of freemen, and without precedent in the annals of our history. Resolved, That we will make use of all honorable means and exertions to secure tho election of the candidates this day put in nomination. Resolved, That the thanks of the people of this county are due to our Senator and Representatives in the last Legislature, for their exertions in securing the passage of the law for the re-location of the Seal of Justice of the county. The preamble and resolutions having been read, they were considered separately, and adopted without a single dissenting vote. The following resolutions were then submitted to the meeting, and unanimously adopted, to wit: Resolved, That wre approve of the patriotic course pursued by the Rising Sun Times, and of the able support is has given to the friends of removal in this county. Resolved, That tho Chairman appoint a committee of five persons, to draft an address to the people of Dearborn county on the subjects of the relocation of the County Seat and of the approaching election. Whereupon, Messrs. Horace Bassett, Bazil James, James Weaver, Alex. E. Glenn, and Samuel Jelley, were appointed said committee. Resolved, That the Chairman appoint a committee of Vigilance, to consist of 10 persons in each of the townships favorable to the relocation of the County Seat, whose duty it shall be to correspond Caui umer, anu to use all honorable means to secure the election of the candidates nominated at this meeting; and that said committee shall have full power to call township meetings if they deem it necessary, and to fill all vacancies.

DAVIS WEAVER, Ch"a. Samuel Jelley, Secyy. To gratify the prevalent taste for something marvellous and prodigious, as well as to offer to the philosophic mind a subject for reflection, we give a brief description of a freak in nature's operations, as it is relaed to us by a friend of our?, which excited the "special wonder" of many of our citizens. Weallude to a whirlwind which was witnessed at the falls of the Ohio river, on Sunday last, 14th ult. A heavy and lowering cloud, lumbering with distant thuader, was lving in the south and another ofless magnitude in the northwest, and another in ike north-east. Each seemed to be surcharged with electric fluid, which was emitted and flashed across the air in various directions, brilliant and luminous; notwithstanding tho broad ghre of a mid day's sun. A storm appeared inevitable. The clouds were driven apparently by opposing winds, until they at length came into pretty close contact, at which point they seemed to remain stationary, each contending for the ascendency. After a few minutes, as if by mutual concert, they were seen to furnish small light clouds, which contrasted very strongly with the deep and threatening aspect of the great mass. These latter teemed into the same channel and lowered by a serpentine course, until they reached the earth, and assumed the form of an ordinary whirlwind. This was at the lower end of the Falls. After "kicking up a dusi" in the vicinity of Shippingport, the whirl proceeded up the river and paid a visit to tho "Iloosiers." The first exhibition of its powers, were observed in the neighborhood of that splendid edifice, erected by the State, for the accommodation of gentlemen of notorious reputation. Here it gave a mero prelude to the future demonstrations of its power, by throwing high into tho air shingles, clapboards, plank, and other smaller particles; and after proceeding into the town and unroofing and damaging several houses very considerably, it at length reached the streot, immediately on the bank of the river. Here the front wall of one brick house was thrown duvn, and the gable end of tho building in which "Uncle Sam" sell3 our lands (as some would have it) torn out and also partially unroofed. The lady of the house, who is a large corpulent woman, ran out to escape its ravages just in time to be encircled by its windings, and was carried some distance in the direction of the river; but finding her rather unwieldy, it abondoncd the idea of submersing her in the river, and loosed its hold, after having prostrated her like an "idolater of tho East" upon her face. Her son ran to her rescue, and ho too found himself in a similar predicament, being knocked down by a wagon bed which had been lying near, and which now changed 3 element by sailing off into the river. The son of Judge Read (Into a candidate for Gov ) was snatched up from the yard of hi3 father, to a considerable elevation and deposited snugly in the mud, a few feet from the water's edge. The boy was not injured. A stage, two horses and the driver wcro the next objects ol its attack. Ihese were seized, Iransversed and capsized, and the hind wheels and bed being detached, the residue, including horses and driver, were thrown furiously down the high and very steep bank of the river, a distance of 70 or SO yards both considerably bruised. It then struck into the river, and here was the scene of its grandest exhibitions. The water was drawn by its force for many yards around and sucked up to a great height forming a pillar, broad at its base and tapering to the top. Thus formed, it played back and forth and occasionally, for an instant, would become perfectly motionless. The most vivid imagination can only conceive of tho sublimity and grandeur of the scene. It continued in the river for four or five minutes, and afforded to the gazing and awestruck multitude an opportunity to witness, with what of calmncs3 they could possess themselves, its desolating progress. Tha waters of the Ohio wero "troubled" to their bed, and lashed the shores violently; and even for hours after, the waves still heaved, as if "remembering His that were o'er." It crossed the river in a direction south easr, and progressing into the timber a short distance and twisting oft the tops of a few trees, again returned to the water, where . it vanished into "thin air." Much speculation was afloat as to its origin, and there were many long and grave faces and much false philosophy. We supposed it to have been formed by the same cnuses which produce our ordinary whirlwinds, though upon a "larger scale." Paoli Patriot. Bostox Mass., Juno 20. Riot in Ann Street. On Sunday evening, about 7 o'clock, the peaceable inhabitants of Ann street were thrown into a state of great consternation, by the most ferocious riot that has occurred there since the destruction of the "7m Pot;1 by a mob. The riot on Sunday evening originated from an act of humanity on the pirt of a small boy towards an intoxicated and wounded Irishman, whom he saw seated against the side of a house, near Pago's Court. Seeing the man bleeding badly, the lad advised him to get up and seek his home, and offered to put him in the way of reaching it. The man accepted of the boy's friendly otter at first; but, after walking along a few steps, a suspicion probably came across his excited brain that the boy intended to betray him into the hands of a constable, and he turned round suddenly and kicked him. The kick was tho signal for a number of other boys near to hoot at him; and their shouts were heard by a party of men who were carousing in the house of a Thomas Jourdan, in Pago's Court, and seven of them rushed down into Ann street, armed with brickbats, and commenced an indisctim-

Inato attack upon every one passing In the street.

In less than a minute they cleared the street lor tnc space of 100 feet on each side of the Court. Shortly after the first sally, Mr. Rufus Pi tcrjon, a riggcr passing near the Court, was seen by one of the rioters, Richard Cummings, who yelled out "Here goesoneoflhe rascals,'and immediate ly another came out, and knocked Peterson down by a blow with a bamboo Dole. 12 fect in length. While 7 - W t Mr. Peterson was lying in the street, he was again struck on the head, with a stone weighing eightand a-half pounds. Fortunately his skull was not fractured, and hopes are entertained, that though very severely injured, his wounds will not prove fatal. The rioters soon dispersed, but Constable Ellis, with the assistance of a resolute man named John Brown, succeeded in arresting two of their number, viz. Richard Cu minings and John Mitchell. Cummings had crawled up through tho scuttle in tho roof of Jourdin's house, and hid behind a chimney, and Mitchell had secreted himself in a shed in the yard. Cummings was ordered to recognize in the sum of $300, to appear at lha Municipal Court, and Mitchell in $'J00 with an understanding, that, should Mr. Peterson s wounds

exhibit any unfavorable symptoms, tho prisoners' leave lit r paternal home, and accompany him to bonds should be immediately incrcusi'ri. In the j this city.

A thousand aggravated rumors are sfloat respecting the subject, but tho facts here set down are the only authenticated ones which have come to my knowledge. Singular Circumstance. Firl y in February I ist, a number of persons in Cahis, (Me.) were violently attacked by pains in tho limbs, and in tho bowels, alternate diarrheeis and costiveness, cramp, &c. The disease seemed lo be of a character to b-jllli? the skill of physicians: it extended, and in the course of some montb?, about one hundred persons, of different conditions, sexes and ages, were tilllicted in this way. Many of these persona apparently recovered from their indisposition, and afterwards had a recurrence of the disease. Several of them died in great agony, and as strong suspicions of j poison were abroad, it is singular that no osf mortem examinations took place. An investigation, however, was had, by some of the inhabitants, and it was ascertained that there was only one article of food, of which all the persons attacked with the disease, had participated. This was some Muscovado sugar, which had been imported from the W. Indies, and it was tho't that this painful, lingering disease might have bsen occasioned by some deleterious matter contained in the article. A gentleman with his family, all of whom had been attacked with this singular complaint, but who are now convalescent, came to this city about a week since and brought a quantity of this same sugar. It was analyzed by Dr. Charles T. Jackson, who ascertained that it contanincd oxide of Lead in the proportion of one drachm to the pound! In what manner it became incorporated with tho sugar, is unknown. Mercury. A yotorious Villain. The New York papers give the particulars of a villain by the name of Sterling, who has married, and deserted or killed by his brutality, 4 or 5 women in tho course of ns many years past. His last wife died in tint city a few weeks since, when ho abandoned her infant child in the street, but was detected, and multiplied atmcites exposed. The N. Y. Times thus traces his history, as developed at the police office : It appears that Charles M. Sterling was horn at Mount Desert, an Ishnd off Hancock county, Maine, where lie resided until ho attained to man's estate; but it seems that the unenvublo character he had acquired was the cause of his removal soon after that period. The next place to which he was tracked is Baltimore, whero he appears to have been in possession of some capital, commenced business, and prosecuted it successfully. While there he married an interesting young hdy, whom lie soon after abused, and with whom he some years since removed to Boston, whero four years since he lived at the head ofRowe's Wharf, with his wife and two fine childern. His continued and still increasing nbude, however, soon drove her from j linn, to seek a home atnoris his relatives at Mt. I)?sert carrying with heran infant. The ve?sel in which she embarked, however, was lost at sen, r.nd the injured wife, with her infnf, and all else on hoard perished in tho wreck. The schooner was afterwards found at sea, and a large amount of clothing and property taken out and cnrrh.d into Cape Cod. Thither Sterling proceeded, claimed and obtained possession of nearly all the goad$,& instituted suit against other persons for the residue, and had them held under recognizance to answer his complaints. tic never, However appeared to prosecute the suits to trial,; but returned to Boston with such of the nmnprlv bq hr rnnld rfi nnssscci'mi rf Here he, after a short courtship, nnm married.

In a short lime after her marriage, she wa3 driven from him by ill treatment, but was afterwards per suaded to return and accompany him to this city, " where they for sonic time boarded in Washington-

Another of there brutal lights" took nlaec not many miles distant from this ; city yesterday. The combatants were Jame KeoJ, (the person who fouguton tho Jersey t-liore list winter) and one Harrett, a regular Fngliish pugilist, but nioro recently an actor at the Howery Theatre. These men, with their friends, had previously announced yesterday as thetimo of their meeting, and had chartered two steamboats to conduct tha spectators to the spot. To the credit of Captain Sherwcll, of tho Steamboat Norfolk, and Capt. Vandal, of the Washington, they refused to go, when they were informed of the nature of their mission. Tho partiep, however, procured to steamboit, Jas. Fairlee, and at half past 0 o'clock, proceeded to Uirren Island. (Must Chester) where they perpetrated tho outrage against the laws, which is the subject of this article. The combat was to tfike placo for $ 10(H) n-sMe, but it is computed by those present, that more than $0,000 was at stike. When our paper w ent to press the steamboat had not arrived; but we understood from a gentleman who said he had witnessed the scone, and ennio to the city by hand, through llarhem, that Harrett came off conqueror, after a fight of one hour and twelve minutes. Forty-two rounds were fought, at the hint of which Ueed was knocked out of tho rinr, and was unable to resume his place until after the time (half a minute) had elapsed. William, llatlield and James Fhelati were seconds on the occasion. A". 1'. Sun. A Second Joan of Arc.
