[Tbs object of ihs meeting having been staled ( by the Chairman, it was unanimously Reiolced, That the Democratic Republicans of each lownthip be recommended to hold primary .meetings in their respective townships, at an early period, for (he purpose of appointing delegates to attend a County Convention, to nominate suitable candidates for the State Legislate re, and adopt such other, measures os may tend to facilitate the success of the Democratic Republican parly in this county. . Retohcd K That a Committee of Vigilance, be appointed in each township, whoso duty it shall bo\ocall meeiings in their proper townships, the purpose of appointing delegates to the Couo- ■ ty; Convention; and also to act in conjunction with thei Central Committee, in all other measures tUtjnay tend to promote the principles of the present Republican Administration. ■ ' Jiero/eeJ, That the following gentlemen be appointed and requested to serve as said committees of vigilance in ihoir respective to'wnshipe. to wit; Jejfenon Towathip.— Newton H.

The Committee recommend the. holding of a County Convention in this place on the 25ih of April for the nomination of a County Ticket, and the transaction uf such other business as may suggest itself to tho delegates when assembled, Tn order to carry out the objects of . the Convention, it is necessary that each township in tbc county should be fully represented in'the Convention. Tho Committee, therefore recommend tho holding*of primary township meetings as carly as possible, to appoint delegates to attend thu proposed convention.— Wo hope tho Committees of Vigilance in ehch township wilt lose no time meetings, and urge upon every Democrat the propriety of Iattendance. We will be glad to publish the halts of every township in our next pappr, if handed in by the Committees. Let us see which township will be foremost iii tho good work.

Mr. Hhw aid's Spescu.—Wc Into received t copy of the Vain speech made by TUgbman A. ’ Howard, on the Cumberland Road bill. Uis a mosuplcndid effort.

ia a fact that allows the estimation in wh.ult General Harrison's military services were held by well informed men, that when a joint resolution of the two houses of Congr «*, to present a gold made) to Gov, Shelby and to Genera) Harrison was under discussion before the Senate of the United State?, a motion was offered by Mr. Licock. of Pennsylvania, to strike the name of Gen. Harrison from the resolution, and carried by a considerable majority. This fact speaks volumes. The names of the two general officers, who commanded the American army at the,battle of the Thames, came before Congress in order that they might receive the reward of valor and good conduct. The name of Harriion,'the Com-mander-in-chief, it ignominioualy set aside as undeserving ofliie country's thanks— that ofSnKt.Bt, who was only a militia officer and who held subordinate command, was alone deemed worthy of the “rich rewards that deck the brave.”

No conductor of'apublicjournalj.who has a single spark of respect fur his readers, would have degraded himself as Milton Gregg ha> done by publishing the unbecoming nnd vulgar language contained in that communication. No gentleman possessing the least regard for thd feelings of society, or common courtesy towards his fellow man, would have been guilty of’wilfully and maliciously giving credence to such a baso concoction of scu rrilily and falsehood, knowing, as Milton Gregg did, the author of tholcominunicaiion to be one of the most abject and \recklett black* guards that ever disgraced any community.

Tbs joint resolution originated in the House, and u that body was Democratic, the people may think a Democratic House of .Representatives for reducing their taxes.
