WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 1842. TRIUMPH OF LAW AND ORDER IN RHODE ISLAND. The good citizens of Rhode Island have thoroughly prostrated the bad ones, and law and order have so triumphantly prevailed over disorder and disorganization, that we trust there is longer any apprehension to be entertained of violence in that patriotic little State. The legal election which took place on Wednesday last, resulted in die election of the entire ticket of State others, by a vote of 7,152, without including Charleston and Block Island, which had not been heard from, and which will probably increase the aggregate vote to about 7,'KK). This is a handsome majority of all the voters in the State the number of votes given for the insurgent candidates on the Monday previous being but little over 11000. The House of Representatives will consist of 62 " Rhode Island Men," and 10 disorganizers. In Grand Committee on joint ballot 73 organizers and 10 disorganizers ! This is indeed a capital consummation and one that confers high honor upon the gallant citizens of that Stute. A". Y. Couritr tf Enquirer, April 'tind. Now that the friends of law and ordor, in Rhode Island, have succeeded in vindicating the supremacy of the existing govormncnt, we hope they will lose no time in also demonstrating their sagacity and patriotism by immediate measures to exchange, in a legal and regular manner, the charter of Charles II, tor a republican constitution one that shall recognise the right of the people to control the regulation of their own affaire through the medium of the ballot boxes. It is true, the late constitution rejected by the factious votes of the disorganizers, provided for such an extension of the right of suffrage, as the friends of that principle approvo and enjoy in the other States ; but its rejection occurred under circumstances that would not be like to happen Bgsin. The moderate portion of the "suffrage party" who were doubtless misled on the former trial, would see their error and embrace the oportunity to correct it The principle is intrinsically right, and no delay should intervono to prevent its establishment This course would be politic in another respect It would satisfy the reasonable and candid men of all classes, and leave Dutee J. Pearce and his associates destitute of furthor pretences for agitating the State, and threatening the subversion of peace and order by mob violence. FRUITS OF MISGOVERNMENT. We published two or three days since a statement from a Cincinnati paper, showing the falling off in the employment of laborers at some of the large establishments in that city. By the following article from the same paper, (the Daily Times) it appears that the truth was not half told. In one establishment alone, t few years since, over TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY HANDS were engaged, whoso WEEKLY compensation amounted in the aggregate to near EIGHTEEN HUNDRED DOL-LARS where now only tteenly-one journeymen and Jire apprentices are employed at a weekly expense of about thirty dollars! M Facts are stubborn things," and tlicso speak loudly of the sad consequences of the last seven years war upon tho currency. How much longer will the people bear willi this iron oppression? How much longer will they continue to inflict wounds and injuries upon themselves, by giving their confidence and votes to the authors of the dreadful ruin, which has strewed the land with tho wrecks of its former prosperity ? Ma. Epitos : Wo noticed in your paper of yesterday, a statement by a corresndcnt, attempting to show the great change of times in rogard to labor, in which he sets forth the number of hands employed at our works at present to be eiglit,and that we formerly employed forty-five. As there must be some mistake in this matter, we have thought it advisable to give a statement comporting nearer with the facts. In 1K17 and 1W,we gave employment at our fonndery and finishing shops, to upwards of two hundred and fifty hands, whose wecklv pay averaged nearly eighteen hundred dollars. The lowest per diem was and the highest $2 25. The amount of engines, sugar mills, turned out of the works during that year, was between !75,000 and $100,000. Ust year wo employed about 125 hands, and at the present moment, we give employment to only 2G, including five apprentices. The lowest per diem 58 cents, the highest H 40. We think a similar statement would ho nearer the fact in regard to Messrs. Darkness, Greenwood, and others, proprietors of large foundcries in this city. Yours, very respcotfullv, YEATMAN & SHIELD, Franklin Founder. Cincinnati, April 21, 1842. RISE OF STOCKa Tho passage of the loan bill seems to have had a very favorable effect upon stocks at the east Pennsylvania fives, which recently sold at !tl have gone up to 45, and 70 is asked for Ohio sixes. The gcn crnl government, it is believed, will meet with no difficulty in obtaining all the money which it wants. A Siun ! William C. Brownell, vhig, was elected on the 1st inst, Sheriff of Henry county, in the place of Judge Leonard, resigned. DOMESTIC INDUSTRY AT THE SOUTH. Wo have occasionally referred to the decided tone which is beginning tocliaractariso many of the ablest journals ot mo noutn, on me sunject ui uuiiii-auv industry, and the duty of Government to oncnurngo it Tho following is from the Mobile Mtertiur and thromde : There is no part of the world bettor adapted to manufacturing purposes man our own niaur ui siia-bama. and if her peorilo, instead of shipping hnr cot. Ion to England and thu North, to bo manufactured and brought bock for use, with heavy cost and charm's attached, would but divert a portiun of their capital to manufacturing from the raw material of llieir qwn production, l( wraim aavo a van buiioiiiii in unnecessary expenso, while it would add greatly to the woallh of the State, mako us more independent more prosperous, more happy, muro American. Tho South has boen brought to the verge of ruin, by the adoption of theories and abstractions, which, hownvor woll they may look on paper, and however plausible in Mfallf ahnnl" am utterly fallacious in nractico. For yenrs we have been playing into the hands of England, and to me ruin anu prostration ot American interests, and the sacrifice of American independence. It is lima to discard theories and abstractions, and resort to something practical! to abandon Uritish policy, that but enriches England, and impoverishes us, and adopt one partly American, that will promote American interests." The Savannah Republican, a Doner conducted with much ability, speaking of manufactures at the South, says t Wo have watched careftilly every struggling item of evidence, calculated to manifest tho disposition of tho South to engage in manufactures. It is cheering to see tho continued prospect of an in-crcasiiur investment In that branch of labor. We hail it as tho dawn of a new era which is destined to impart life and animation to the industrial operations ot Uie South, anu to tree ner iroin tnai vassaiagc un dor which her enerries have been so long straight oned and confined. We are not certain that Uio low price of Cotton may not operate to tho advantage of HouUiem riauters, try giving! new uirccuon to a part of their labor, and by stimulating them to adopt new and improved ay atoms, belter calculated to emulate tin example of thoir Northorn neighbors." Among Uio interesting statistics applicable to this point it may be stated that there are now twenty cotton factories in the State of North Carolina. Goods have heon shipped from some of theso for New Bedford, and more are required for that market for shipment around uape Horn. Domestic goods from rrteramirg, va., havo also met with readv sale in the Northern mar- kota, whether from llieir superior quality, or from the greater cheapness of manufacture, we do not know. Tin Charleston Patriot has been for some time laboring with commendable teal to show to the peo- of South Carolina the many advantages which their State possesses for manufacturing investment. We may presume that these efforts wilt not be without success in the end. lialtimore Jhntricj.ru BRITISH STATISTICS. . A foreign correspondent of the National Intelligencer, in a recent letter, gives some statistical items illustrative of the present condition of Great Britain. The last census returns of the United Kingdom show that the annual increase of population during the last ten years has been, on an average 230,000 a year. The now mode of administering the poor hwt in England appears to have been attended with favorable results. The education of Uie children is better provided for, and there is a diminution in the expenses of the system of about 30 per cent Whether the amount of relief extended under the new system is the same as that which was yielded when the expenditures were larger, we do not learn from the Btatemonts before us. Tho now census, however, exhibits some painful statistics. In the city of GlnBgow the population, now 282,134 has increased 711,708, or nearly 40 per cent in ten years, the increase of the whole kingdom being only 11A percent In the rive years ending with 1830, the average of annual dcutlis was 1 in 38. In the live years ending with 1840 the averago was 1 in 30 a fearful increase, and very much above London ; and here, as in other places, the increase of mortality is most decidedly among children under five years of age. The total number of persons committed for crimes of all kind, in Glasgow, in 1810, wasfiOO) bv fur Uio greater part of which number were youths from lti to 21 years of ago. Of the whole number (ijOti) about 32 por cent, oould neither road nor write ; 13 per cent could read and write well, and 2 per cent had received a superior education.In allusion to the progress of temperance in Great Britain it is said that while a decided decrease has taken place, during the last three years, in the consumption of wine and spirits of foreign manufucture, there has been a decided increase in the consumption of malt liquors and British spirits. In Ireland during the lust two years, no less than 477,000 have been stricken from the Irish spirit duty. This is about 32 per cent of the whole of that revenue, and the fact speaks well for the efforts of Father Mathrw. The national debt of Great Britain, as exhibited by Parliamentary pnpers, amounted on the 5tli of January 1841, to titvJ71,725. It has been diminished within the lust ten yenrs somo ten millions of pounds. The nctt receipts of tho revenue for 1841 showed an increase of Jt lOliWS over thoso of" tho preceding year, yet when tho receipts of two years are fuirly compared, it will bo found that by taking every tiling pari passu, there is a deficiency of 1,317,(147 instead of at! increaso of tho revenuo of 1841, as compared with that of 1840. Internal improvements, by means of rail roads and canals, are proceeding with surprising rapidity in England. There aro already in Great Britain 180 canals, tho aggregate length of which is 2,ti82 miles, and which huve been executed at an expense of 30 iiiiIIioiib ot pounds sterling. J no rail roads now in operation in Great Britain have cost 37,000,000. I he aggregnte receipts thereon during one week in lust October amounted to 07,070, which, after de ducting one-half for expenses, ieaves seven percent for a dividend. Whilst rail roads and canuls are flourishing, the turnpike roads in most of tho counties whore they have been introduced do not pay their expenses; and this deficiency which commenced in 183U, must annually increase.

We take the abovo from yesterday's " CWitinafi Times" It is, no doubt a fuitliful exhibit of things oa they art and teen among our industrial popula tion. Referring to "Cist's Cincinnati in 1811," wo find tho whole number of our manufacturers and mechanics to be 10,705 persons. If, then, where 477 persons formerly found employment 357 or full threo-fourths are now entirely idle, it is fair to coinputo, that of the wholo number, 10,705, a fraction abovo 8,000 of the industrial population of this city are, at this lime, comparatively unemployed. This is a sad picture, truly, but wo believe not a whit exagge rated. Hut what may bo still further truly remarked, and adding to the general pressure, those working men who hnd employment many ot uiem receive their reduced wages in orders and duo bills, upon which, to make available, they aro obliged to submit to a ruinous sacrifice. "All! but," says our Iocofoco leaders to the workinrr man u Jire. not the tascaltu Hunks navinr specie 1 Ao longer my tnrlhy frienti,are you cheated our of fire or ten cents on the dollar of that pockrt-futl ichieh you had every Saturday night, by those rasadty rag-barons!"

"it does after all seem to me, that I had better a plaguy sight, have dial ninetyfict or oven ninrty cents, and pleanty of them, than nothing nt all ! That hundreds of our honest lellnw-citizens win come to this conclusion before next fall, and rise up one man tn put down forever those simkious but odins and destructive doctrines of " exclu-uve metallic currency" and " individual responsibility," is as certain as October comes. ('in. Republican. Ot'a Cotto Factories Hai.r tun's wnaa. We learn that the Union Manufacturing Company in consequence uf the depressed stue of the times, and thu near nppronch ot the period when the rotes of duty on imported goods will reach thu lowest point under the Cuiupromisu Act has been compelled to the measure ol putting the persons in Uio employment of Uio Company on halfalay's uork. Y e learn further, Unit Uie rntapscn rnctory hands havo received notice that on the first day of tho en suing nionUi, Uiey will also bo placed on half day's work. This step has been reluctantly taken, but Uie circumstance of the times have rendered it umvnid- ablo. Tho pontons eniployod in or indirectly dependent upon these two factories, are about one thousand in number. Other establishments, Uicre is no doubt, will be compelled to adopt a similar course. The partial stoppngo of Uieso factories is but one of Uio many signs of tho times showing the disastrous consequences of excessive importations under Uie miscalled "free trade" syslom. The mischief is now piaehing it has already reached tho laboring man. The necessity of doing someUiing to stop tho progress of things in their present tendency is now nut only ren it is Jell.llalt.

We sell a certain quantity of Tobacco annually to the English and other European nations, fqr which they pay us nine millions of dollars. The govern ments of those countries chargo an import duty upon this article so heavy, that what we get only nine inil- lons of dollars for, costs those who consume it FORTY-TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Now the Free trade folks in this country seem to think that til is is all just as it should be, only that whilst we submit uncomplainingly to the oxaction of such a rate of duties upon tins production, as slmost to amount to a prohibition, we ought in addition to buy all our goods in the same markets, whilst our own laborers and manufacturers are lying idle, or compelled to quit their workshops and betake themsolves to the cultivation of Corn and Potatoes to keep from starving. So much for the vagaries of Free trade. The advocates of Fair Trade adopt another rule. They would say to foreign nations, if you will not admit our productions, duty free, or at low and rea sonable rates, neither will wo. If you tax us, we will tax you. The game is one at which two can play. If you prohibit our Tobacco, Flour and Pork, we will shut out your Silks, Woollens and Wines. We will not send away our specie to pay for gewgaws. We will buy no more of you, than you will purchase of us. If you have no wish to be neighborly, and to grant us runny favore u you receive, we can live as independently as you. This would at least be just, and we should make better bargains at fair trade than could possibly be got out of free trade. For ourselves, we should be greatly tempted to go a little beyond tho rule of even fair trade. We should prefer to sell always a little more than we bought We would dispose of all the Tobacco, Rice, Cotton, Brendstuffs, Pork and Beef, we could in foreign ports, and bring a purt of tho avails back in specie. We would buy all our manufactured goods, if we could, of our own countrymen, and thus stimulate their enterprise and industry, and enable them to consume more of what our Western soils produce, besides selling their own products to us cheaper. If tliis did not prove a perfect remedy fur the hard times, our condition would be desperate indeed. We are sura it would be better thun bankruptcy and repudiation.THE EXCHEQUER AND THE CURRENCY. A late number of the Madisouiun says; "WiUiout designing the loust disrespect for the bills reported by tho committees of tho two Houses respectively, and not doubting at all that Mr. Tall-mudgo and Mr. Cushing hnvo both recommended Uiut which seemed to them Uie best practical meas ure, we yet must remind Uio country that the bills of Uieso gentlemen arc not, nor is either uf Uiem, Uie measure ol Uio Administration. 1 hat meusure was larger far larger. It looked to currency to Uio ways and means of Government and it looked to ex change and to facilities of business." We took the liberty ol promulgating tho same re marks from the lirst appearance of those reports. If Ihero were now the luust danger of Congress passing either of Uie bills reported by Uie committees, we should say that Uie President could not, tor his own sake, too soon wash his hands of tho rosionsibi!ity. So far as Uiis whole West is concorned, those bills would work absolute iniurv. Thev would notonlv not furnish a currency in themselves, but they would prevent a fair circulation of our own local currency. Tho truth is, Mr. Tallmadgc's bill was an unwise concession to those most inconsistent ultra National Bank members of Cungress, who would nof take Mr. Forward's plun, btcaust it proposed many of Uioso practicable and nocessnry features fur regulating and restoring Uie currency, which were Uie life and soul of their oirn favorite plan ! " We toko Uie above from Uie Cincinnati Republi can, one of the organs of tho Tyler Administration. It Is significant of Uie feeling with which Uie action of Congress is regarded at Uie White House, in any respect which docs not run in the precise channels rmtrkod out by Uio Executive. The President still ppears bent upon usurping Uie rights and functions of the Representative branch of the government The Constitution designed that it should be Uio President's office to execute the laws which Congress, in its wisdom, should create ; but John Tyler rever ses tho plan of Uiat instrument, and endeavors himself to prescribo the laws which Congress may en act. Vro havo already expressed our decided objections to Mr. Tullmadgo's Exchequer scheme. The Re publican adopts our reasoning. Wo have no mora confidence in Mr. Forwards's plan than his. Neither will accomplish tho purposes which the govern ment is bound to fulfil. We wont an uniform na tional currency a low rato of oxchango and a complete separation of the money power from Uie political administration of Uio country. Experience that stern monitor teaches us, Uiat all Uiis can only be effected by Uie re-cstablishmcnt of a National Bank. The Revolution of 18 10 pointed to Uiat con summation, but the criminal wenkness and ambition of ono man has disappointed Uie just expectations of the People. W hen another opiortunity for an expression of Uicir sentiments occurs, Uiey will use Uie necessary precautions lo prevent another disappointment Grievous as their sufferings must bo meanwhile, Uiey will exhibit Uiat deference to Uie laws and tho constituted auUiorities of tho nation, which is so necessary to Uio permanency of our free institutions, and bide Uio timo in potienco when Uicir wrongs may bo redressed by such an administration of our public affairs,as was contempluted by tho sa gos and patriots who framed the great National Charter of our Rights. LATHAM'S BANK BILL. This law, wo havo been informed by tho honest logo of Uio Statesman, contoins Uie two great prin ciples of Uie "Safety Fund "and" Individual respon sibility ! " Well, what have the people gained by it? How has it bettered Uie currency, by improving what wo had before, or adding to Uio quantity? How much specio has it brought into tho Stoto, and put into circulation ? What banks aro going into 0era- Hon under it? How does Uio " individual liability' feature wurk ? Theso are fair questions. If tho system operates well it may be veil to roly upon it If it docs not answer the purpose let it bo discarded and anoUior adopted in its place. What say Uie peo ple, Uie business men of Uio Nuto? Is tho "spayed sow" Uie tiling which is wanted, or is it tho "Humbug" which a Loco Foco paper has characterised it to be? w. a hatch. This vory wiso man and astute legislator finds himself involved in difficulty ith a portion of his constituents, and one at least of his colleagues. He obtained the passage of an act at Uie last session of the Legislature tn erect toll gates upon what is called Uie "River road," running into Cincinnati, opened originally at Uie expense of Uie county. Several meetings have been held in Uio townshij in which the road is located, denouncing Uio act and Mr. Hatch by name, and remonstrating against the contemplated oxaction of tolls. One of these moetings was attended by Mr. Moore, member from Hamilton, who excused his vote in favor of Uio act by saying that it hail been given upon Mr. Hatch's "represen tations" who had "deceived him," and Uiat he Would go fur its repeal at the earliest opportunity. FIRE. A Are broke out about midnight last night, in a stable in the rear of the City Hotel, and occupied by Mr. Oyler, which, wiUi an adjoining stablo owned by Mr, E"iy, was consumed. The origin of the fire could nut be ascertained. The prompt turn nut of the Fire companies slid citizens, prevented the flames from spreading in a valuable part of tho city. Loss supposed to be f 100 or (500. I'.RITISII INDIAN AFFAIRS. Wo publish to dny some interesting details of the defeat of tho British troops in Afghanistan. Tho loss of so many bravo men, of our own blood and lineage, seems a lamentable event; yet we cannot but reflect that they have fallen in an unwarrantable invasion of the rights and government of a people over whom the British nation can claim no just control, and who in defending themselves agoiust the aggressions of a foreign power, do but vindicate the fundamental laws of universal liberty. PARTIES AMERICAN AND BRITISH The Washington Correspondent of Uie Philadelphia Gazette says that Uie Editor of Uie Globe remarked recently to a member of Congress, Uiat the Loco Foco party would unite to a man against a Tariff, and that if any Individuals separated from them on Uie subject, Uiey would be cast off and excommunicated. If that is not right, it is open and above board, at least By such tokens, we shall soon understand each other throughout Uio country. Those who are in favor of American interests, American labor and American prosperity, will take tho Americas side of Uie question. Those who go for British interests, labor and capital, wilt take Uie opposite side. We will Uien see whether British influences can triumph over American independence. NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY. The Portland Argus, which is the official organ of Gov. Fuirlield, in continuation of Uie important rumor we gave yesterday, says : "It is now pretty generally understood in this quarter that Mr. Webster has written to Gov. Fairfield, requcsuiig him to call forthwith an extra session of Uie Legislature, for the Eurpose of appointing commissioners to treat with ol d Ashburton, and the General Government on the north eastern boundary question. It is also understood that Gov. Duvis of Massachusetts has boen written to on the same subject, and for Uio same purpose."From the Philadelphia Inquirer and National Gazette. THE PROGRESS OF THE WEST. ST. LOUIS AND ITS TEADE. Wo recently alluded to tho wonderful progress of St Louis. We have sinco boen furnished by the St Louis Chamber of Commerce wiUi much valuable statistical information in relation to the growth of Uiat city and the Western country generally. In 1830, Uio population of St Louis w as 5,852. It is now rising 30,000. During tho year 1841,30,000,-000 of bricks were mado in the city, 25,000,000 of which were sold nnd used in that place. There aro 9 steam saw-mills there, 3 mills for pinning boards, 2 whito lead factories, 3 oil mills, and 0 tluur mills. The first Insurance office was established in 1831. There are now 7 offices, the total marino risks of which amount to upwards of 58,000,000. In 1811, Uio receipts of lead from tho Gulcna mines, amounted to 425,000 pigs, valued at more than $1,000,000. The growing crojis of Tobacco will, it is said, range at from 12,000 to 15,000 hhds. The importation to St Louis, of cloths, blankets, die, intended for tho American fur trade, is set duwn at $225,000 per annum, and Uie exports and home consumption of buf-fulo robes, peltries, die, at $500,000. The American Fur Company employs sevoral steam and oUier boats, and several thousand men. Their boats, at least unco a yeur, ascend tho Missouri to the mouth of tho Yellow SUine. Hemp is another staple of Missouri. It is estimated that thecrop for 1812, will, in Illinois and Missouri amount to not less than 10,-000 tons. This hemp is worth $200,000 in a raw state. But Uie most valualilo exports from St. Louis and Uio country connected wiUi it, are bacon, pork and lard. During Uie present winter, 47,Cfl0 hogs ero slaughtered at Alton and lu.uuu at I'oorio; vliile it is said Uiat Uie Illinois river, with tho Alton, trade, semis out annually, not less than 8000 tons of pork. The value of this item alone, is given at 1,-500,OUO. Flour and wheat aro also important items, and slmw an annual nggregatc of nearly $1,000,000. About 1K) horses, 2:iOOmules, and nearly 0000 head of cattle, were shipped during 184 1 lo the South. The imports are estimated in 181 1, at $20,000,000. Theso are but. few of the facta grouped togothor by Uie Boord ot Trade, but thev are calculated to convoy a forcible impression as to the onward pro gress oi tno west, it is estimated Uiat in 1841, $15,000,000 in exchang. were sold in St Louis. Last year the number of steamers on tho Missimippi and its tributaries was 437, about 150 of which were employed in Uie St Ixmis trade, during the wholo or a great portion of Uie year, As more Hilly Illustrating Uie character of Uie trade at Uiis point ' sub join Uio report of the Harbor Master of St Louis, tor tho last uiree years, including all tne items embraced in his return, viz : Whole number of arrivals of steamboats for Uio year 1830 1,170 Amount of tonnage, 213,1113 Do. lumber. 10.UO.51tl Cords of wood, lli.Mri Shingles, 10,580,500 No. of arrivals of steamboats from Jan. 1st, 1HI0, to Jan. 1st, lrlll, 1,721 Whole amount of tounage, 211,185 Average tonnage, 142 No. of arrivals of flat boats, 5ti " ftot of lumber, 087,375 cords of woud, 25.114 shingles, 0,1:13,500 " staves, 407,250 " hoop poles, 44,850 " rails, 8,1158 Arrivals of steam boats from Jan. lat, 1841, to Jan. 1st, 1842, 1,028 Tounago, 202,081 Average tonnage, 13ti Cords of wood at the wood landing, 4,500 llelow Uie creek, about 2000 Feet of lumber, fl,550,5'.'8 Shingles, 8,512,710 Stnviis, 382,150 The number of boats owned in 1811 by citizens of St Louis, was KL When we remember how short a periud has olapacd sinco St Louis statrd into impor-portant existence, and contrast her position then with what it is now, some sdequate idea may be funned of the rapid strides which have been made in agriculture, manufactures and civihzatiun within a few lleeling years by the portion of the Great West wiUi which St Louis is so immediately connected. And vet she must merely be in her infancy as a city. Thousands of emigrants will pus beyond her Uiis year, and locate Uiemselvos in Uie rich lands above, which invite their footsteps.

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1842. THE WEST UNION RESOLUTIONS. The Manifesto promulged under the form of Uiese renoIu lions continues to occupy the public attention, and constitutes the theme of varied newspaper discussion. It ia not ao "indefinite," after all, but Uiat Uie State Printer admits anoUier phillipic into his columns, in denunciation of Mr. Hamer and his ob jects. The Auditor of State is also darting his Uiun- derbolts at the meeting, and both concur in ridiculing the idea of " well regulated banking" as visionary and hopeless. The Hillsborough Gazette, however, a Loco Foco paper, approves of Uie object of Mr. Hamer's resolutions, and Uie News (Whig) published at the same place, says that many of the Loco Focos in that region, take Uie aome view of Uie subject, whilst anoUier portion go with Uie "hard money faction is ts." The News also gives the rumor that a meeting ia to be held next month in Highland county to re-aflirm Uio doctrines of the resolutions. No doubt the ball put in motion at West Union, started with sufficient impetus to keep it rolling. The "barn burners" will labor in vain to arrest it. Now is Uie time for the Whiga to strike with effect Let all good citizens unite in efforts to bcatow upon Uie State a safe and enduring system of banking, which shall ensure to Uie people a sound and abundant cur- j rency. We are able to overwhelm Loco Focoism if all its materials were united. Divided and engaged I in the work of mutual destruction and recrimination, j we shall extinguish it utterly. Ono half of theVun Buren party of 1810, are wiUi Uie Whigs on this subject of the currency, and but for their peculiar prejudices, would co-operate with us cordially in Uio re-establishmcnt of a judicious system of banking. They know Uiat we need banks, and a bank circulation Uiat the community cannot get along without Uiem that if Ohio were to destroy these institutions entirely, the surrounding States would aoon outstrip us in business, enterprise and wealth. They know also that their leaders Uie Broughs, Mcdarys, McNultys, Byingtons, Taylors, tfcc, are resolved upon total bank destruction that it is a hobby upon which all the demagogues of that school are determined to ride into office, although all Uie substantial interests of Uie State are to be sacrificed by tho means which they pursue Knowing Uiis, Uie reasonable and candid portion of that party seo Uie necessity of stopping in tho down-hill course Uiey have been led. They know, too, that banks may be established upon reform principles, leaving out Uie evil tendencies to which they are liable in an imperfect condition that all their benefits may be secured to the public without any more risk than attends oUi-er human contrivances. These sentiments prevail to a considerable extent iu Uio State, and the influ ence which Hows from Uiem will be felt in Uie aj- proaching canvass. Let Uio Whigs, therefore, wake up let Uiem rouse Uiemsclvca and resolve to redeem Uie State. They will have Uie good wishes of Uiousands whose confidence in the other party on Uie currency questions of the day has expired. They wish us in Uicir hearts, God sptft, and they will endeavor by some efficient means to render their secret desires efficient The division in tho old Loco Foco ranks will widen daily. There is no possibility Uiat it can be healed. Once more, Whigs, he ready : chargt along Uie irtoe line. and the dsy is our own. The Hillsborough Gazette, (Loco Foco, but in fa vor of "well regulated banks,") gives Uio following aa a synopsis ot the plan which Messrs, l lamer, Price, McDowell and tlieir associates have in view. It can scarcely be denied that Uio system here con templated would be such an one as would command Uie confidence of "prudoit and honest men, and that Uie danger of suspensions under it would be very remote, indeed, if not entirely impossible. Th.it a Bank with branches should be created, in which Uie State, if Uie legislature Uiought it neccs- mry, liuiihi Have Uie privilege, wmm mnnm cuuia be got, ot taking one third or one tourUi ol Uie cap iat stock ot tho same that no Hank or branch should have Uio power of furnishing its own paper for circulation, but Uiat ft board should be created, who should, upon being satisfied, that such banks or branches had bona fide Uio amount uf gold and sil cr mud into the vaults ot each as reouired by it charter, furnish each wiUi the amount of paper, which the charter allowed it to loan and circulate charging each wiUi tho amount so furnished, in orderth.it Uie Legislature at any time might ascertain by looking at tne books of Uie said board, the amount of paper each bunk had in circulation. This provision ia .esiirncd to prevent Uio possibility ol cither ot Uie Banks or branches over-i&uing. That Uie Bunks so created shall contribute yearly such a per cent upon their stock as may be deemed stithciont by the Legislature, aa a safety fund to be paid into the Stoto Treasury, Unit each Bank or branch ahull receive in payment ot its debts Uio paper ol all Uio ottier brunches at par but shun not loan me same ; uiut ihey shall havo monthly or quarterly settlements itli each other and an exchange of their paper Uiat Uie State shall take Uie paper of each Bank or branch iu payment of its dues Unit in cute any of uie branch. or linnks so created snail tail to redeem its notes w ith c-old and silver on demand, Uiat it shall immediately iro into the hands of commissioners created tor Uiat nuritose, who shall take possession ol all its means tor tno tmvment ot its debts Uiat Uie oUier Banks and Uio State shall nevertheless continue to receive the paper of such branch at par till all its notes are redeemed. That to indemnify Uie State and tho branches so receivintr Uie paper ot said branch, tho safety fund, created as aforesaid, shall be divided in proportion to the amount of paper each may hnvo on said branch ; that whutcver deficiency may still exist alter exhausting the said fund, shall be mane up in Uio following manner lirst, by appropriating Uio assets of tho bank or branch ; secondly, the oHicors and directors who may have con sentcd to, or been truilty of any art in the maim ire mew oi Bum urancu, noi amnoriico uy iu cuancr, 10 be liable in their individual property ; and lastly, that incuse any balance should still remain unpaid or un redeemed, after exhausting the abovo securities, that the stockholders, shall be liablo in Uieir indivi dual capacities and property, in proportion to Uicir siocR refpecuvely. That tlio othcers and director ol iianK so created, shall be prohibited Irom borrow ing from Uio branch for which they respectively act a such Uiat Uie system heretofore adopted by IMiika ol renewing Uie notes ot bomtcrra shall bo so changed as to prevent fraud and usury upon tho borrower, or Uio unreasonable extension of tlio time of collecting Uie sumo by each branch. MR. FOOS, THK HENATOK FROM CLF.R-MONT D1STUICT. Tho Statesman, on several occasions since tho ad journment of the Legislature, ha vonted its spite and Uirown its Billingsgate upon this gentleman on account of some absurd charge rclntivo to his having carried away a bill for tho repeal of a turnpike road. The Stateaman is not in such credit with us or Uio public, as to make it necessary to reply specifically to all its accusations against every Whig, whose strait forward course excites Uie ire and hostility of it editor, and we have not deemed Uie matter worth inquiring after. If any of our readers, however, have suite red Uie one sided statemonui of tho univer sal slanderer of Uiat paper to make an unfavorable impression upon Uieir mind, the following notice from Uio Clinton Republican, will doubtless remove it MR. FOOS. THE OHIO STATESMAN, The onmn of Uie Loco Foco party in this State, the Ohio Statesman, has been venting its spleen againt Senator room, because said rooBcarrieuaway, or. in Uie lfimnmiM' of Uie Statesman, pockrttdn a bill for Uie repoal of a portion of the charter of a turnpike road which passe Uinmgh Clermont and llamiltoncountiea. Thai pnper,oi uie mumj-imru ultimo, any t Wo know not when we have wilnenaed more indignant feeling, among the honest of all iartie, than I at the disgraceful conduct of GrilliUi Foos, a Federal Senator from Clinton county, iu getting a bill referred tn him, under a pledge to reort it bark, and Uien putting it into his pocket and starting for home, and bragging that the legislature would never see it gam. Now, if what Uie Statesman any bo true, Mr. Foot i not Uie man hi constituent believe him U bo; but when wn state, upon authority, Uiat Mr. F. did not pledge himself to return tho bill, and that he did nof u Brag that th Isegislsture would never see it atTain," those who know our Senator, will soon is their opinion upon Saniul Medary. Had he pledred himself to report Uie bill, it would have been done, but no pledge was ever given. This ia a matter of no consequeuce to us, but as Uie Statesman haa ha rp-ed upon it several times, we will, in a few words, state the reasons wich induced Mr. Fooe to move its reference to a select committee. On the Friday previous to the adjournment of Uie Legislature, Mr. Holmes of Hamilton county, introduced a bill for the repeal of a portion of Uie charter of the Ohio Turnpike Company. No petitions were presented to the Legislature no person came forward and asked for a repeal of Uiis charter no evidence whatever hud been adduced that the company had transcended its powers but, as repeal was the order of Uie day the abrogation of sacred contracts deemed of no consequence with the majority, a bill, as above stated, was introduced in Uie Senate, and Mr. Foos, wishing to avert hasty and reckless legislation, and anxious to ascertain Uie grounds upon which a repeal of the charter were based, moved that the bill be referred to a select committee. As Mr. Foos represents, in part, Clermont county, he felt an interest in the matter, and his object in making the move he did, wa to give time for a full examination, and Uien he would be ready to report the hill, which we presume he will do at Uie extra session. It is not for Uio carrying away Uiis bill that the Statesman abuses Mr. Foos, but because tho Senator "touched" Sammy pretty severely lost winter. This is the "whole head and front" of Uie matter, and the Statesman editor is determined to gratify his insatiable appetite by charging him unjustly and wiUiout cause. NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT. Some of Uie Washington papers publish quitoa glowing account of a dinner given to the Post Mister General by Uie Mtit Contractors, who have recently been renewing thoir contracts for Uie Western States. Tho usual demonstrations were made upon the substantiate and exhilttratives, and the speeches and toasts betokened an extraordinary state of mutual good feeling. Unless our memory betrays us, this dinnering of a high public functionary by his mibordinutes, is a now thing under the sun. We should infer from the description of the affair, Uiat the Contractors had made some very excellent bargains 'out of the Department, and that eventually the people of the United States would have to pay liberally for their gratitude to Mr. Wickliffc. It would have been equally creditable to that gentleman, if it hod been announced, in theso pinching times, that the government had saved a few hundred thousand dollars, by practicable reforms in Uiis brunch of Uio public service. IIIDDINU FOR MKN AMI VOTE LIKE CATTLE IX TJIK JWAKKET. The Madisonian is making the most shameful and unblushing advances to the Loco Focos. In Uio following brief paragraph, it is distinctly intimated, that the President's recommendation respecting the Land bill and his Exchequer are baits for Uie gudgeons of Uiat party ! Besides Uiat, twenty thousand office-holders are retained, in expectation Uiat Uiey will do service under Uie banner of John Tyler. Whigs! what think yo of all Uiis?

Tho excitement hud been so furious, and Uie feelings ot Uie religious portion ot the community so exasperated, that Uiere seemed to be an indifference whether Uie church was ever resuscitated. But when Uiey found that Mr. Brush was innocent, nd that they only were in the wronir. Uicre was a movement immediately manifested to procure another clergyman. lo one was more lorwaru in tins work than Mrs. Mecks, Mrs. Dow, Mrs. Brown, and Miss Polly Sly. those ovil spirits who had, by their venomous tongues, poisoned the congregation. It wub resolved Uiat an old man should bo procured, one w hom slander could not touch: ono who had been tried in Uie fiery fur nace : one, in hnc, whose aire should render hnn in vulnerable to all Uie shall which malice could force or slander direct After some weeks, "old Parson Gerry was hit upon as the very man ol all others to till Uie pulpit in btokeville. lie was about sixty years ot ace, and as venerable in apoarance as the picture of the apostles. Hi fine iicad, quick, piercing eye, wrinkled brow, and Uiin gray hair, gave to him a reverend and holy aspect Ho was installed, and wiUi a family ol ten children, comfortably located in the parish house. Ho was one of Uioso whose fortune it had been, as is too often the case wiUi members of the clerical profession, never to be setucd, to be tern-pest'tosscd Uirough Uie world, without ever finding port Ho had preached in every State in the Union, and in almost every town. He had never been in one spot long enough to take root, and when he came to Stokeville, wit! his children swarming around him, ho seemed jaded out ot all spirits: as one, indeed, who looked to Uio gmvo as ms only resting place. Old farson ocrrv wo tlio towns talk, lor some monUis. Every body called upon his family, and every mouth was open in their praise. The old man was extolled as a suim, il Uiere ever was one Jus wife was a female Samaritan, and his daughter were II beautilul. vv hat a good old man 1'unmn (terry ia!" aaid Mr. Meek. " What an amiable wife he ha!' rejoined Mrs. Dow. "What lovely daughter !w said Mrs. Brown. The whole public sentiment had changed. There was at lcngUi a delightful calm after Uio late terrible storm. Several large parties were given on raraon uerry s account and his daughters wore hailed as Uie spirit and soul of them all. 1'resonts wore made to the family, and it really seemed lor some months Uiat it was impossible to do too much for, or exalt too highly, old Parson Gerry and his incimpnruble family. Mr. Meek a, the husband of Mr. Meek, was the first mun to break in upon the quiet of Uie church the second tune. It so happened that the old Parson, on ono or two occasions, omitted a portion of the service M r. Meek detected this at once, and of course was struck dumb with horror. He said he had been broii p lit up a churchman in the severest sense of tho word, and it wounded his feelings, and roused his astonishment to find Parson Gerry guilty of such sucrilegot There muit be something wrung about him i ho was either ho churchman, or else his fmth in the discipline ot the church was sadly perverted! Of course a flame was soon blown up, which spread ! wider and wider but before it had consumed the old gentleman, soma friendly hand extinguished it harmonized Uie congregation, and tranquility was re- j stored. It was soon obsorvod, that in spite of the harmony I restored, there was a growing dislike to Parson Gerry and his preaching. The ieople were about getting tired of him, as Uie phrase is. Hi congregation begun to drop oft', onoollor another, until scarcely an apology for an audience, was left. Every member had his own cxciifo for not attending church. Some did not like his discourses because they were ho lung; other disliked them becauso Uiey were prosy and dull ; and many said he did not pieuch tho true orthodox doctrine. There were a thousand objections to him, and each one who had an objection found it an excuse lor deserting Uie church, until, us we have said, he had scarcely an aiwlocy lor an uu dience left. It waa nocessarv to Hnd some trmvo rhariro to uifl- tify the removal of Parson Gerry, and the luuciuiity of Stokeville soon framed one. After torturing every art that had been committed by the minister or his family, Uiey discovered that "Parson Gerry's wife and daughters were extravagant in Uicir dress, nnd il wounded Uio loclinu ot the congregation to see christain simplicity so outraged. l his was enough. All Uie church snapped at the bait Tho family of Parson Gerry wn m oxtrava-gnnt tint Uiey wore running themselves "head over ear in debt" It would uover do, Uio church would bo ruined. "Oh!" said Miss Polly Sly, running broaUilcas into Mrs. Dow'e just for an afternoon's call : "oh. Mm. Dow, have you heard the news? Why, what?" exclaimed Mrs, Dow lookinir ud in astonishment "Why, Parson Gerry! about Parson Gerry! He owes everybody! exclaimed Polly, holding up both handB with holy horror. "Why, how you talk!" said Mrs. Dow. "Yes, every body! every body! He owes Mr. Tape ten dollars for that beautiful satin his daughter .nary wears; and Air. toll alley lor Uie gingham; and Mr. Broadcloth for three new suits, and Mr. Worsted for Uie Lord know how many goods! And every body says, Mrs. Dow, Uiat he'll never pay; and they say he owes all Uie merchants where he came from. Did you ever hear Uie like? said Polly. "Did you ever, in ail your born days? Ami Uiey say "Hut perhaps he has Uie means to pa v." interrup ted Mrs. Dow. "Payr said Polly, not he? He never moans to liftv. Whv that 'n Mm wnv overvhndv iihv.i ho trnt through Uio world. Folks, you know, trust to his honesty because he ia a clergyman; and Uien he runs away and cheat them. Such men as we have to fill our pulpit is rcully too bad." "Yes, but don't let us condemn him until we are assured of his guilt," replied Mrs. Dow, trying to pump up a christain spirit of forbearance. "iiut aun t you believe me."" exclaimed rony, "every body snys he is condemned already." Your husband, Mr. Dow, and Mr. Meeks, and Mr, Brown, and Mr. Jones, and two-thirds of the church members, , and every body el thmLa so. He don t never mean to pay. And Uiere's his girls: I taw Uiem flirting through Uio streets this verv day wiUi Uieir silks and satins, all of which he owes fur. And he'egjtanew sofa, and I dare say he owes Uis cabinet maker for that, and his wife keeps a hired girl, and pays her a dollar a week. There never was such a mom and Polly Sly. runninc out of breaU), sunk back for a mo ment completely exhausted Just as Polly closed, in came Mrs. Meeks. "Did'nt call to stay," aaid Mrs. Meek. Polly heard Mrs. Meeks' voico, and up she jumped caught her by uie hand, and was so glad to see her ; it was so comfortable to sue one's friends ; there was so much trouble in the church, it "was reioicmir to find a person that could revive her spirits." iiirs. Meeks was nut on precisely Uie same business to cry down Parson Gerry's extravagance. Mrs. Meeks had been "making calls" for two hours, talking all the time as fust as her toncue could rattle. She was as happy to meet Polly Sly as Polly Sly woe to meet her. What are we to do with our minister?" exclaimed Polly to Mrs. Meeks, as soon as she gut through welcoming her. "Mrs. Dow and I have been talking about it I've been telling her all about him; how he owe everybody and can't pay; how Uie church is disgraced, and how everybody talks about it and " And how." aaid Mrs. Meeks, suddenly cutting Polly short "heavy demands have been sent on for collection from abroad to Lawyer Brief, who holds Uiem in his hands, but don't want to make trouble r " Mercy sukes ! .roared Polly : " is he eoine to be sued ? Well, I expected it I told them he owed where he came from, iHm t say any more, Airs jiecKs ; i snail go distracted. "What a man !" exclaimed Mrs. Dow, who had just began to enter into Uie spi.it of Uie occasion. "Well, aaid 1'olly, " 1 must be going." And Mrs. Meeks said she "must be going too," and both, bidding Mrs. Dow "good morning talked scandul' to the door, and then to the gate, and finally broke off the subject by bidding Mrs. Dow "good morning," and departing. 1 he next day the storm ot scandal raged suit hiclier. Several persons were to be seen talk in t? at Uie corners of Uie streets, berating Parson Gerry and his family. Somo said Uie old man ran away from Uio lust parish where he preached, to avoid Uie service of civil process for debt oUiers Uiat Uie Bish op had dismissed hnn for the same cause, and Uiat he was preaching without license. W herever he had been, Uie same extravagance is said to have been indulged in. The story was revived which originated with Mrs. Meeks "Uiat heavy demands were sent for collection from abroad to Lawyer Brief;" and two or Uiree of the church vestry men visited Uie Lawyer, to enquire into the matter. Lawyer tfriui pronounced Uie chargo fulse, but no one believed him, for they Uiought he acted from interested mo tives; that Uo wu fuarfutof omlungennjg the colleo . lion of his debt by adding fuel to the fare of persecution which was already consuming Uieir victim. Tlio excitement in Stokcvillo lasted for some weeks. It waa finally resolved Uiat the croodoldman must bo dismissed ut once. He had, of course, heard of the charge that were in circulaUon against him. pronounced Uiem untrue, and was willing to submit them to an investigation. He admitted that he waa somewhat in debt hut it was necessity alone Uiat had driven him into it I lo nevertheless declared himself able to pay all. He denied Uiat he owed a cent to any one abroad, or Uiat prosecutions had been commenced against him. But it was uf no use. I he hat had irone forth. It was determined Uiat old Parson Gerry should leave the parish forthwith A covered wngon waa shortly after seen moving out of Stokeville, containing Uie scanty furniture of Parson Gerry. His family wo seated in a couple of carriages, which followed behind They had been absolutely driven out ol the place driven out too by those who were so sensitive in matter of re- , ligious duty Uiat Uiey considered Uiemselve doing God service in Uie course they had taken. They supposed Uiey had purged the church and cleansed it for the reception of anoUier pastor. THE NEW BRITISH TARIFF. The Now York Express siys Uiat Uie new Tariff proposed by Sir Robert Pee, contemplate differential duties, which will seriously affect the interest of this country. For instance, the duty on Bacon from the United States is to be fixed at IU the cwt, while the same produced from Uie British Colonial possessions will only pay 3s (id per cwt Pork from Uie united Bi:ites wiu pay bs er cwt, and only & from Uio British possessions.
