great diriioctire and vital idea of pennanent and comprebeeaive American republicanism, will devote ita united power to tha doty of ’sustaining that Union agaios the attache either open or secret, of whatever enemy may assail it. To that end it will insist upon a a!net construction of the Uoitep States, in accordance with the intent and meaning of that instrument, aa expounded by its authors, and as sanctioned by the most approved opinion of the country.

[forth* Weekly JUvilUe. Pursuant to public notice, a Urge meeting of citizens of Switzerland and Ohio counties was held at Qtrerctu Glove, in the Methodist Church, on Saturday, March 3t*t, at 11 o'clock A. M. James C. Rickets, of Ohio county, was chosen President, and John J. Jack, of Switzerland, Secretory. The business of the meeting, expressed in the notice colling it, being stated by the President—

On motion of E. Case, & committee consist ing of Jacob H. Harris, Judge Slalin, Col. A. C. Pepper, Geo. Gillespie and E. Cose, were appointed to prepare rcsolutionscapressive of the sense of the meeting upon Hit liquor law. The committee met in the store of Judge Marin, and after due deliberation, returned to the Churcb and reported by their Chairman that they could not agree upon resolutions to recommend for adoption; but that Mr. Case should read to the meeting a senes of resolutions drawn up by him, for its consideration and action.

Upon the full acknowledgement and due preservation of the rights of the States, as expressed and reserved in the constitution; and the careful avoidance by the general government and by each of the States respectively, of interference with the rights of either by legislative or exclusive'action. Upon the faithful performance by the general government, by every Stale, and by every public functionary of each, of all duties enjoined upon either by the constitution of tbc United States. To the same extent the American party also pledges itself to suppress as fur as it has the power all tenncncicsto political division founded on geographical position, to rebuke all agitation upon topics of dangerous import to the peace and harmony of the Union, to check the efforts.of selfish and dcsigningpolitUiaas to create dissensions by appeals to local interests or prejudices of; class. The purpose and desire of the party | being to encourage and establish a broad j and paramount sentiment of national loyalty thoroughly Ainerisal in character, and sufficiently powerful to protect the Union against ull sectional hostility. 8. Hetdveti, That the Acrican parly regards it as the policy of thcGovcanmcnt to exercise ita power to secure the prosperity of American interest, and to give the most ample scope to the inginmty and industry of American citizens in every lawful pursuit; that to accomplish this «t is its duty to. give all aid, cornpatatiblc with the power Vested in it, to internal and external commerce, by improving the navigation of rivers, by adapting the national harbors, both on the lakes and sea coast, to the’ protection , and . convenience of shipping! and by promoting the construction of national roads for. the intercommunication between the oceans which bound the territories of the Union. To encourage the devgloporacnt of American genius by due protection of inventions, productions of art, anp works of literature and science. To guard .the industry ot the country against the injurious influence of the adverse policy of foreign nations and to secure, as -far as the same may be done, in accoudance with the powers conferred by the constitution, the prosperity of the American workman, by giving him the prefernco in the supply of tbc work required by the country. . To maintain the public defense Ly .sufficient military: and naval force, _ and by an efficient system of forlmcaliocs; and finally; To anminisler the, government with a liberal economy which shall supply nothing to wasteful cxtravigancc,—but all that is proper to the healthful development and progress of,a great nation.

18, That our county and Stale Uses arc already felt to be enormous; and that being unwilling to submit to any further increase of our burdens, wc respectfully request out County Commission err, should they deem the appointment of agents for the sale of intoxicating liquors in our several townships necessary, to limit their salaries to the nett ptof(iu of tLcir sales in the business of the Slate intrusted to their care.

TO PUBLISHERS., Those wishing to have their new publications noticed in this gaper can reach us through Messrs. Fowltm sud Watur, 300 Broadway, New-York, who will duly forward any books left in their care for this purpose.

Wo believe that the power of appointment should bo exercised with ecrupnloni care, to prevent the patronage of government from being brought into conflict with tho freedom of election. And finally, wo Iclievo that the dignity and prosperity of Government are most surely sustained and promoted by a wise and kindly toleration of honest difference of opinion, and by the acknowledgement of this right, as the true nantional American feeling.

Rtgohtd, That while'we-reject with abhorrence the doctrine of "nonresistance and pas-rive submission,’' and claim and exercise the inalienable rights of freemen to express our untrammelled opinions against laws passed contrary to the fundamental principles of liberty, and as we bclcive in violation’ of the written constitution of the State and Nation, we neither advise nor countenance,, any other resistance to illegal enactments and bad laws than calm and enlightened and peniitanl appeals to the legal tribunals of the Slate and United States, and the Ballot-Box. The Resolutions being adopted and no other business being before the meeting, on motion of Col,.Pepper it was voted unanimously' that when this meeting adjourn it will adjourn to meet again at Enterprise, op Wednesday the 1th day of July, at 10 o’clock. Voted, that the President, Secretary and E, Case be a committee to engage the services of speakers, to address the citizens of Switzerland and Ohio countiis on tho prohibitory taw at the adjourned meeting. On motion,.voted that the thanks of the meeting be tendered to tbc Methodist Society tor their liberality in granting us tbc use of their Church.

The resolutions being read, and discussed by Messrs. Harris, Pepper and others, and the |5ih being amended by Unking out the last half, [supposed by some.to squint a little towards the higher law resistance doctrine,} and the reading of an additional resolution offered by Col. Pepper, were with it adopted, only one or two encountering a few scattering nays —and are as follows: 1. Rtiohed, That all men are created equal; that they arc endowed by their creator with certainInalienable rights; that among these arc life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are'instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the' governed; and that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it 3* Ilriohtd, That all free govern me nls arc instituted for the protection of the lives, rights and property of the governed, ond for no other purpose. / • 3. fltsolcetf, That to secure these ends each and every member of the Stale has a right to be secure :u hia person, house, papers, property, Donttdc cud toctal habit f, and religious faith and practice, so long'as he refrains from trenching upon any of the inalienable.and equal rights of bis .fellows. 4. Resohedf That the constitution of the United States and of this State, and the laws passed by congress and the State legislature, in ucnrdanct tcilA tktir yrozwont, arc the Supreme power, binding equally upon legislators, officers and private citizens, while all legislative enactments, passed without constitutional authority ate null and void, and of no blading effect.

PREPAY YOtR LETTERS. The new postage law, which takes effect on :bc first day of April, provides that letter postage mud bt prt'paid. The public should bear this fact, in mind, as oh,which the postage is not paid will not be forwarded.

10 ftetohxtl' That the American party, in recalling tho government of the Union, to the principles of its founders, revert with affectionate concern to the .precepts of Washington, as the safest and wisest guide, both for our foreign and domestic policy,-and in .concurrence with these, adopt his warning against all interventions in- the affaire of foreign Slates, and especially in those of Knropcan nations—rebuking all demagogues of every-class and name, who wonld lower the standard of tried moral and intellectual training for the high places of true! in the Republic; who would barter away their birthrights for the emolument of .office,- or descoreto our llag-by piecing it in the hands of restless and demoralized propagandists, to plunder in the name of liberty; preserving pure and nneorrupted the public conscience, by confiding ourselves to just and peaceful relations with all nations, as far j as their 'conduct towards m wijj permit, but no further—and not refusing exjpressiori of that sympathy which . is 1 natural to the historical memories and na- | tioiul sentiment of our people. ' ‘

The meeting tU Uucrcus Oro%*c. OnSatnnlay last, being desirous of seeing what yas to be done.-and also anxious to tide out m the .broad and beautiful‘country for-one day's recrea-tion-—we wended our way to. Quorate ‘ Grove,; in Posey Township; where a meeting was advertised to assemble, for the purpose of discussing the merits of the prohibitory liquor law enacted by the last legislature. This was the pretended business of the gathering, but this was not the rtal object. The only aim appeared to be, to take a ; decided stand against the Temperance law. The meeting .was called by Mr. Case for this very purpose, contrary to the rushes of many of his friends. ■

Voted, that the Secretary of this meeting be requested to make out and sign a copy of its proceedings for publication. . Vclct), that the several papers in Ohio and Switzerland counties be respectfully requested to publish the same. JOHN J. JACK, Secretary.

; The meeting waa organized by calling James Bieketa,. of Ohio - county to the chair, and ’’appointing John J. Jack, of Poesy Township,' Secretary A .com* mitleo of five, consisting of ’ ilcfsrp. E. Case, A. C. Pepper, JacobR. Harris, Joseph Maliti, and Geo. Oillespio, to draft resolutions expressive of ,lho feeling of the meeting. The committee retired, and Mr. Caso having a lot of resolutions in his pocket, nrhjch suited no one of the committee, it was decided that Mr. Case should rend his resolutions to the meeting and they could bo ’discussed, and passed or rejected, as might seem- proper. .The resolutions were all passed, after amend' ing one of them, No objection, was made to the general tenor of the resold* tions—-the only difficulty was; as to the poftey or need of some of them. Mr. Case ( together with nearly all .thcpeople present, were in favor of the resolutions as reported; but Col.- Pepper, Thomas Armstrong; James Rickets, and ’ a few other politicians, were afraid one of them at least, would not set well with the people throughout the two counties, hence its alteration. Wo will have 1 some remarks to make on this maneuvre of the politicians at a future time. / i.

Itnllroads in tbc Wortd. Tiib superior energy of ihe American people, remarks ihe Philadelphia Zcrfyer, is nowhere more forcibly illnsiraied lhan in ihe railroads ihey have bulll, It wilt hsrdlype credited that there are more miles of railway in the Umtcd'States.lhan Sh all the rcit of the world; Veisnchis the fact. We have now finished and in operation about levcnlean thousand miles, white the entire number elsewhere, at the close of 1854, was, say fifteen thousand five hundred, V France, with; a population nearly thirty per cent, greater than the Untied Siaies,‘has only about one-eighth as many miles of railroads; Germany, with her for. ty millions of people, has but six thousand miles of railway; and Great Britain has only sevcu thousand.Yet, in >11 the European nations, capital is comparatively plenty, the country is thickly settled, and vll things favor railway extension. • But the energp’ of the Americans is wanting, and hence oue reason of the comparative scarcity of railways. .'Another reason, however, is Ihe fact that, onl of England, the Goiernroenis generally own the roads; b condition of things which dwarfs enterprise. and keeps down real improvement. Even in Russia, a country naturally adapted lor railroads, in consequence ol‘ its vast plains, there arc less than five hundred miles of railway. Poor old Spain :has only about sixty, while Cuba, her American provincial, has three .hundred.and fif-ty-nine.

6. Rejoiced, That legislation, in order to he efficient and beneficial, should be not only constitutional, buldctnarided by an enlightened public opinion; and that any law passed in violation of such opinion, though in. itself legal, is injudicious, inexpedient, and in conflict with the pence &. happinessrf society, because .il cannot be executed; thus bringing in-' to disrepute, with the ignorant and depraved, good and judicious enactments, and leading to their violation, 6. Retohtd, That aside from all questions of constitutionality it is in direct conflict with its duties and the private rights of its citizens for tfic State to engage in the business of a manufacturer or trades outside the walls of the States prison and county Jails. . 1 . 7. Resolved, .That Iho doctrine ,■ that “the cad justifies the means,'* is Of ;tnratnous origin; wicked in practice, and dangerous in its effect—and the more alarming,, if practiced 1 by the legislature of a free Slate,, than by a society hf Jesuits. , ' H 8, i?v*afpfrf, That.fAiJ( cannot be good and Just in the "purchase and sale bf goodi.'jby.a corporation‘that would be wicked and wrong in«cirizen,' and.lhat nolcgislation can make that wrong and improper in a citizen, which it proper and right in itself, or in the Stale, 9. \ Resolved, That if the manufacture of spirituous liqnbra be a ncccsily and right for medicinal, mechanical, manufacturing and chemical purposes aud to make burning fluid’s and ’cosmetics, 1 and to purchase and sell such liquors for these purposes, such manufacture and sale- are among the unaleniable rights of man in the pursuit of happiness, of which the State cannot deprive Us citizens, and assume to itself an odious and exclusive priviledge and; monopoly.

— The general feeling of the citizens ofthe upper portion of Iko county is advorsc lo the prohibitoiy law. Thd politicians are taking advantage. of this, feeling, and aro circulating all kinds of stories and slanders in regard to tho law. But before Icngth'oy' will no doubt become disgusted with the course of Case and his friends, and find it better for the S tatc and for thonisolvcs to abtdo by the laws of the land. Mr. Case not only opposed the execution of the law, but said that he was willing to bo made a martyr of iu tho cansc.

Some iTI Hilary facts. At two thousand yards off a singlo man nr hrrse looks like a .dot; .at twelve hundred yards infantry can be distinguished from cavalry; at nine hundred movements become clear; at seven hundred and fifty yatds heads of columns can be made out. * If the enemy’s cavalry are one thousand yards off when they begin to move, they will take apout seven minutes tocomenp —first at a gentle trot, then at a round trot, and finaly at a gallop; and, during this meml. each gun can discharge, si them wi'h great precision, ten rounds of round shot.

■ .0 Jtapli'ed, That wo utterly condemn asodioueand uniAmorican, the obvious abuse of the Executive power and pataonflge, which for many years past has more and more found favor in the administrations of our government, both Federal anb Stale. The whole soslem of rewards and punishments is nnworthey of a free and independent people. We perceive in tho practice to which it has led, the most unnatural and demoralizing influence ujv on our population. It proscribes the high minded and inpependent citizen, and puts tho obedient tool of power in his place; it denounces the best men for a sincere love of thir country: it often prefers the foreigner to the native citizen, and it corrupts, the patriotism of tho masses, not less by destroying a genuine American sentiment of independence, than by stimnlating the people to abandon tho pnrsnts of wholesome industry for tho sake of the emolument of office. It has: thus brought an element into political contests, which, by appealin8 to selfish motives, has proved itself sufficiently powerful to embroil tho country in perpetual strife, for the benefit of thoso who servo and flatter the appointing power, And who are compelled by cupidity, mow than honest ambition, in the discharge of, their dnly as citizens. . Wo reject this principle and practice, not only for the reason we have given, but also became we deem it to bo of dan* gerOns iafluehcc in enlarging abd strengthening tho executive ‘ power.

To Farmers. Strain a point this spring, and plant large ly. ijouk al the piicea which alt the leading articles of produce now command and be advised, that there is little likelihood of much reduction, however bountiful the next harvest may prove. There is a probability that the prevent war will not merely continue through the year, but will enr brace in its desolating arms alt the foremost nations of the European continent. War wastes produce of every kind, and diverts industry from its accustomed channels. Our country alone, among the great powers, has a prospect of peace, and we should improve our opportunity.

It. Rewired, That if it be right for the farmer to sell three gallons of cider for mince pies or to make vinegar, or to be drank os a beverage, for thirty cents, it is right for him to sell one gallon for ten cents and one quart for 21 cents for the same pur(0 ; cs, and that if it be right for the corporation 0/ Indiana, consisting of mom than a million of souls, to sell a pint of cider to a poor woman for any purpose what- 1 ever at a profit of 2-5 percent above the farmers prices, ilis right for the farmer to sell him a pint for the sainc purpose less the 25 per cent profit. 13. liftolctd.
