Mr. Editor Attempt! to use postage at am pi a sec ond time have become so frequent that I deem it proper to call public attention to the following clause of the act of Congress concerning them: "And if uny person shall use or attempt to one in prepayment of poslage any postage stamp which shall h live been before used for like nurnnaes. such persona shalt be subject to a penalty of fifty dollars for every tuck opena, to ue recovered in me name oi the uuiieu States in any court of competent jurisdiction." It may bo useful also to state that while it is possi ble for stich stamps to pass a second time without discovery when many letters are handled in baste, yet, upon inspection, the previous use of a mump is always easily detected. Persons mailing letters with an old stamp on ihcm, there for o, while I hey suppose them selves saving three coots postage, not only fail, aa a gnnerul thing, to accomplish their purpose, but are exposed to their correspondents in the trick attempted. Their letters, with such stamps, are charged with m-lage and forwarded with notice railing attention to the fraudulent use of the stamp. A. F. TEltRY, P. M., Columbus, O. JTUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER, no, 18M. Noltle County. A Convention of the people of Noblo county" was held ut olive, in said county, on the 2itih inst., to tnko into consideration the propriety of nominating, a candidate for Representative in ttho next Legislature. It was unanimously agreed that Noblo county was entitled to a Representative, and Hon. Isaac Parrish was nominated hy acclamation. The following resolutions were then unanimously adopted : " Whehkas, Iho county of Noblo wus lognlly and constitutioiiHlly created and organized, ond existing nt the time of Ihe adoption and Inking eft-el of the new coiiHtitiitii.il, and whereas, said county of Noble contains a population which entitle-; it to a representative, according tn tbo ratio mid principle contained in the constitution, therefore, " Resolved, That tho qualified elector within said county of Noble, ought nf right, nnd will, at tho annual eleetioii for State nnd county officer on Ihe 2nd Tuesday of Oc'ohur, 1851, elect oi.e, representative to represent said county of Noble in tbo I Inline of Representatives o the General Anemhly ol tlie State ul Ohio, at its session to bo boldeu next hereafter." The Convention was composed of leading men of all parties. Mr. Paukish in a Democrat, but we think the tickot was made up with reference to coiiuty Bllnirs, and win not designed to no exclusively at a pnrty character. A large portion ol the people will vote lor Mr. Pabhioii, and we preatuue he will preauut himself for admission on constitutional grounds.

The Dayton Empire object to making the Banking question nu issue in the approaching election. Hut other Democratic papers are insisting that this is the great question, and wo think that il the Locofocos get the majority, we shall see tho latter class are in the right. This matter is one which we have already referred to ihoae interested in those establishments, and they must atiend to their own business. Of course, as the Locofocos at Du)lou have nominated a Hank I 'res ilient a their candidal tor Representative, the Emtire will try to conviiree the voters there that the Bank question is not involved. " Speculations in Funds or tmk Statk, nr Statk Omenta. II Ho re, is uuyihiug tha' should awaken the voters of Ohio, il is the statement that heads this articlo. It hat been asserted (ami that assertion rrmaini uncontradicted) that certain Whig faithfuls in Ohio have bet-n engaged in Mm nice tpieutattoa of loaning State FhiIi to a i-ertnin railroad company. W e hope lor tliu boner ol the Slate there isaoine errW in this statement, and would like very much to have it cleared up." So writes iho Springfield and I'rbana Expositor, a paper that dispenses diluted patriotUtn and puie hum-buggery In tho Lociifocos ol Cliii k and Champaign counties. Let us put this miiM-rublf, distressed man out of his pain. Last winter some rqu.dly pure p itriot iu the Srtm'o (we think Mvi:its,) iidrodiued a resuloiion catting on the Auditor of State to answer certain interrogatories touching the diMpositiou of the public money. To this Auditor Wonnj promptly reminded, und bis response can be found among the public dmmmeiils of the Sen ate at the Inst session. All the facta in relation to it can be found in the report of the Fund Commissioners, Documents of lit.'iO-M, part t, page 5011. It is a very short and very easily ninlersioi-d story, In December, lH.'.l, the sum of iu'-!!i,!)tH of the 7 percent, loan becomes due. The surplus revenue fund was pledged to pay this loan. A call was made for the toy men I of this fund to tho Slate. It has been done by installments so that the borrowers would hi id it more mnveineiiis to pay up, lite l oud Commis sioner' were prokibitrd from paying more thim than (he par value of this 7 per cent, slock, and as it has beeii alopc par for several years thanks to 'the prudence, ability and honesty ol the Whigs who have controlled the fiuauces ol the State it became intjoaille for them to pay out this accumulated surplus revenue fund pi to aximguuh this debt before It became due. What should they do with it T Keep it ba ked up in ihetrea sury for a year or two doing good to nobod) f Put it into the hanks for safe keeping, and let them have the use of ft all this time f Loan it out on their private ac count to persons and pl the interetl thcreo into thrir ora pockets t Or hun it out to good, reitunile conv panies, for the purpose of completing some of iho great public roads of the State, at seven per cent, interest, paid to the Riate, and paid loci principal and interest in New York city, on the 1st of .lanimry, IH-Vi, when and where this slock became duef Will the Expontr us which of th-se plans a U rnfoco Auditor would have pursued f We can lell him which tho Whig Auditor pursued. Joint Woon, and the Whig ollicnrs put the money into safe hands, when it is drawing tha Slate trven per cent. Every dollar of the interest is nccounted for, and goes to lessen the tales of the people of Ohio, Tlie sum of six hundred thousand dollars tins been ihun deposited, ns is shown by the Auditor's report, and in one year, this brings in the snug little sum of forty-two tkonuind dttllars. Rememlier, this sunt of ftiQO.OUO could Hot be used to pay off the debt, became it was not yet due, and because whig financiering had put and kept this slock abort par. It could not be used for ordinary purpose because the law expressly set apart this fund for the payment of this particular detd. We will reinatk ibat, ndrr l.oerfoce rvle the record nowhere show any account where tho State has received any interest for any of its funds. A rihi sharp man can guess whore it went. Has the Expositor any more wise hints and hmemlns IV ' a iliMHisal ? If this is closely followed up, we think the people will begin to understand ihe dilferetice be tween Whig and Lncofucu management of the affairs of St a to. Dcntli or llio Wnrdrii. We were pained to learn that Sauuki. Atkinson Rxq., the Warden of tlie Penitentiary, dhd yeslerdi afternoon about two o'clock. Wn understand that he has beeu unwell lor several weeks, indeed was not good health when he came tn this city. For some days past he had heeit confined lo hii room. His dis ease was con lit nod dyspepsia and ulceration uf tho bowels. U e were not awai 'h it his case was coir side red dangerous, and were nan h surprised to henr of his death. Mr. AraiNsoK was formerly a resident of Licking oounty, and was apaiiutcd tn the post ul Warden altout tha first of June lat. He was respected by all for his probity ami integrity of character. Tha Natural Bridge of Vugiuia is not the only one In the United State. There is nuo in Kentucky, "panning a branch of the Little Sandy river, in Carter county. The MityieUU Pot Hot describes it as follow : "Tho bridge spin iho chasm through which flows the Rockbridge branch of the ('any Fork of Little Sandy river, and is at"mt twciiiv-hve mih s from (imV' on, the county aiat ot Carter, (l meaKines, hoiii clitl' to elitf. llt.'ifeett I of oolitl rm k, without atl.iw, twelve feet wide, twenty feet ttmk ai the miihlle ol (he abut-merits, and is live leel thick at the initldle of the an h nnd 107 teet I nun the water.

Tha Editor of the tictoto Gut cite says tho prettiest thing be saw at the Stale Fair was a horse from Memphis, tha ugliest, a D loonier draa on some lady from ti North. That is rather a round about way uf call lug tha lady ugly. A Circular Letter to the Editors. Havana, September 11, 1851, Having been requested by a very lame northm of the prisoners of the late Cuban expedition to write to their friends informing them of their aituntion and good health, I have thought it best to throw my observations, wiiicp muse necessarily he general in iiieir principal features, into the form of a circular; and I have now the honor to address you this at Ihe request of ull the prisoners. The prisoners were brought to this city in different lots, and ni fast as they ai rived were shaved of their hair, chained two together, and placed in one long saloon in tho prison. During the first few days it was exceedingly difficult to obtain permission to visit them. Tliu British Consul, Joseph T. Crawford, Esq., did so on the first day, and, accompanied hy his Secretary, Mr. W. fciidney Smith, who has never ceased in his exertions in their behalf, gave them the first cheering wonis. Lin mo next nay, air, Alien r. Owen, Ihe American Consul, asked for and obtained permission, and, ns I was subsequently informed by tho prisoners, told them that "the President hail proclaimed them without Ihe iinle of the law. and he could do notliinv for them." During several davs our uulv menus of comiioiinng in me amelioration ul llieir l omlitioii was throue.li Mr. Smith, who continued to visit 1 lie in twice iliiilv. taking them small comforts nod speaking in I heir behalf; by which means he itn.rovtd iu a very great deroe their situntion. He took up a subscription among the English residents for the purpoie of providing extra clothing for those who were Kriiinh subjects; and the Secretary of Ihe GemiHli Society, in couxequttjice ul receiving a letter from dipt. Schlichi, went to see ihem, and snhseipicnlly provided tor the Germans hi the same manner that the English Consul had provided for his countrymen. I was not able to obtain iHtrmisxinn to see them nn til Friday, 5th instant, at noon, when 1 found thatiwun-ty-five had that morions been sent to tho hosoitat. and thai some few of the others bad had (heir chains la. ken oft, for what reason I could not loam. The Americans and some others I found very much dispirited iu coiiHt(uence of ihe languge Mr. Owen hid held lo tlii'tn, and from seeing oiln-rssu much heller cartd for, und I did what I could to cheer Ifiem, assuring them f would do my utmost to have them as well provided for ns their mote fortunate companion hnd been. On leaving the prison I Bpoketo several of my lrieuds about raising luiuls for the prisoners, and so great wan ihe i nlerest shown in their behalf that our ellorU were crowned with the utmost success. 1 lake this occasion to pay a just tribute in I hone Cuban gentlemen who so generously provided mo with funds, without which my efforts would have been burren : and also to inntiv American friends v ho contributed not only money but Minnl efforts. I would glndly mention iimnes, but impossibility of nnmine all won hi render the par ticularizing of a few apparently invidious, and I will therefore cite but two, who are connected with ihe pres these are Mr. White, ol ihe New York Courier ml Enquirer, and Mr. Callahan, of the New Orleanx 'icayune. To these gentlemen, in comnativ with nm- uy other, much praise is due. ! tin Saturday the prisoners received several vimts and sum of money wherewith to purchase bread. Mr. Smith aluo took lo them cigarsand other comforts. On Sunday morning their chains were taken off; they were allowed tobatuai and I was enabled to km id Hem their extra clothmgr They were in excellent pirits, nnd a many of their countrymen Imd now oh-.lined permission to visit them, and thev found thev were not abandoned by their friends, they were quite rilin" materials were to-dny allowed Uieni, tit iu request ot Mr. Ninlili, and inuiiy id' them wrote to their homes, They all received a small sum of money purchase such trifles as they miuht faucv. tin this lay they received information that Commodore Parker was not allowed to e them, which they reiirotled exceedingly, anil during the afternoon they had a ijiort visit from Mr- Owen. On Monday morning, aa they were to embark early. Mr. Smith, Mr. Callahan, and mvselfvisiied them he- lore diiy. They had cotlee and bread before gotug on hoard.

That it is the duty of Congress to divorce Ihe National Government from all connection with and responsibility for slavery and the slave trade wherever they exist under its jurisdiction. That an act ol Congress contravening the law of God imposes no moral obligation, and au act of Con gress passed without cnnsinulional autlionty, impose no obligation upon the citizens of tho States. rf That tho public lands of right belong to the peo ple, and should neither oe aoiu lor revenue, nor iu any way allowed to speculators, but should only he grauted, without charite. in limited quantities, lo actual settlers. That we are in fuvor of the election of National officers bv ihe ncople. when practicable. Tho history of nations demonstrates that a navy and standing army aro incompatible with republican institutions. We, therefore, will exert our influence for the dishandment of the army, for a reduction of the navy, and an abandonment of' the entire system offortifications. That river nnd harbor improvements, when demanded by tho safety and convenience of commerce with foreign nations, or among the several Slates, are objects of national concern, and that it is the duty uf Uongress, in tlie exorcise ot its constitutional powers, tojprovide therefor. That to the demand of tho Slave power for more SlaveStates and more Slave Territory, our determined answer is, ' No more Slave States, no Slave Territory." That the "Fugitive Slave Act," enacted by the last Congress, is in derogation ol the genius of our free institutions, an unwarrantable encroachment upon the sovereignty of the States, a violation of the principles oi naturui und revealed religion, an ansnnipiion ot legislative power without constitutional authority, and u monstrous exhibition of lyrauuy, injustice and oppres sion. That our party is tho party of the constitution, and of the Union; of freedom and of progress; ihntiti opposed in principles nnd aims tn sectionalism, secession and disunion, and know no North, do South, no EhnI, no West, hut embraces, with equal patriotic luvo. the country, the whole country, one and indivisible. 1 fiat tlie friends nt Ireedom look with entire con fidenee to the future, in the iindouhting faith thut their principles win he grateiuiiy recognized by the people, and embodied in tlie constitutional laws of the land. That wo recommend lo our friends in the several States to oriiuiiize ns soon as possible, bv hold inn State Conventions, appointing Slate Committees, and generally effecting Mich auxiliary organization as will effectually promote the cauxe ut right and humanity. l arewell remark were then nmde by Mr. Lewis, and ihe President, Dr. Lo Moyne, and iho Convention adjourned tine die.Plain Dealer.

Nor has this plan been of a day's growth, or a month's, or a year s. It was horn long ago, though it was not taken abroad until weaned, and thought able to stand.

It is due to the rRKsinraT ol IheU nited Slates, however, lo say, lhat, in his Proclamation against the criminal enterprise known to be meditated against Cuba, he did no such thing as "proclaim that ihey ime prisoners were nut oi the patent the law." or, we are morally certain, did Mr. Owen the United States Consul at Havana, in his communication lo the prisoner, whatever language he may have employed, rrprttrnt tke President to kavt NtW sura nngHOgr.

Cleveland Ueratd. Thus says the organ of Freesoilism on tho Reserve. Mr. Chase has also been formally denounced hy resolutions at sundry Freesoil Conventions. We quote this, not to show anything llmt U new to the people of the State, for ihe facts stated have been for a long lime Just as appurent to every observing mind as they are now. We simply qtiole iho Freesoil organ to show from their own testimony ihe truth which we have often repeated. Facts are abundant and unequivocal to show the same design ou the part of Mr. Ginnisus, and it has existed a very long time. He is now industriously en. gaged tn the pursuit of it, hut not ready lo throw off his disguise. We shall not spend lime to prove (his, because it will soon enough prove itself; and, because our proof would uot reach those who are made the Iu pes of his course and transparent attempts at con. cealment. The Whigs of Ohio, for the last few years, have not been beaten and balked by Lncofornism. They have not been held in check by any rally or the people, or an opposing party, to uphold principles not iu the whig creed. Not a single popular verdict has been given against the mode in which they administered the State government, while under iheir charge. No party ha been formed or now is which dare go heforo the people of tho Siule and risk itself upon a proposition materially to change the system ol policy adopted, enforced, ami still adhered to by the Whig parly of the Slate. Bear this in mind, oh, Freemen! Write it upon your dour posts; proclaim it wilhout ceasing, for it i the truth. We have had to contend with fulae professions, wilh treachery, with bargain and corruption, as foul and daring a ever disgraced the annals of political trickery. We have been fighting against knavery which cloaked itself under sunciimoniuus pretences, and duplicity, which did not hesitate to invoke the sanctions of religion. It is not ohen, in the history of any Stale, that such on open barter and sale of conscience and principle is veuiiired upon as wus done here, when Salmon P. Chase was elected in the Suate. Men were voted into their seats in the Legislature who had never been electid, and others, who were lawfully sent here lo legislate, compelled to abandon (heir duties to the superior combinations of religious pretensions with actual and unmitigated perjury. Then men elected under express pledges to vote one way, were not ashamed to gibbet themselves to everlasting infamy nd contempt, by voting against Iheir pledges' for a con sideration. Against ucb means and such combinations the Whig parly could only stand stationary and an ti 'ti led. It was a proud thing for It that with stirh material to wuik ufNiu uud burg n to wtth, it did not succeed. The same elements have been at work down to this time, and have overborno us, not with superior talenis or numbers, but with audacity and the power to excite and take ndvuutage of general popular disgust with political affairs. Thii is Ihe stent and ihe history of Ohio politics for the last three years. Tables which we have already published show that, a many asSEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND VOTERS HAVE STAID A WAY FROM THE POLLS. But this cannot always continue. The clouds begin to clear up, and Ihe mists to roll away. The game of dccepiiou and disguise is nearly ended, and its players must soon stand before ihe people face to face. Then will come our turn Then will the Whigs triumph gtorioiisly. Brethren, it depends upon you whether that time shall be this full or next. Throw oft your discouragement vo to work let every man be in earnest, and iho victory is yours even now. There are no mountains in your path which the old Whig faith is not simus enough to cast into the sea. Mm u it uedonei ivianv paria ol the State an swer earnestly " tes, and now !" Others, we feur. are tuhiiug their arms to a little more sleep, and a little more slumber. Brethren, the great day of decision is near at hand. How is il wilh you and yours f Does not tho voice of such great crimes and outrages, on the part of the enemies ot tho Stale, cry out, more stern, more penetrating to the heart of every patriot, than did me iiuipnoi spirit m ii acne in, " tSlerp nu more iWp no more la all tbr boure."

Brown, or the same State, ail come in fur a share of Bascom's venom, and are charged wilh being engaged ina political mission, while attending theState Fair. " To show the ui'er absurdity of ihe charge, in the very culutnn of the Journal in which it was made, ihe editor, iu speaking of the speech of Governor Wright, soys : " ' It wus a matter of remark by Governor wrigut that he hud not seen a drunken man on the ground, nor hail he heard politics discussed or referred to.' "no much for the charge oi ihe Journal agaiusiuie listinguished citizens named. " The city of Columbus has ever been famed for iho hospitality of its citizens and during the recent Stale Fair, when every house was thrown open to accommodate the visitors, our citizens lost none of the fume which had previously heeii awarded to them. It is, however, a now era ill Columbus hospitality, to see citizens of other States, resorting to the capital of Ohio to attend a State Fair, thus become the subject of attack hy one who was brought here to do the dirty work of his party, i tie journal win soon nrui inai sucn a cut-ton is nioro ' honored in the breach than in tho observance,' but its editor's vocation is slander, and he is true to it." We present tho above from the Statesman of Monday, as a fair specimen of Statesman editorials, Statesman logic, wit and common sense. A mote ridiculous, asinine affair has Dot appeared since tho infamous and lisaetrous attack npon Mr. Stanueht. Let us look at it: We announced that Gov. Wrioiit, and William J. Brown, known as Mr. " Done" Brown, of Indiana, Senator Douglas, of Illinois, &c , prominent Locofocos, were in iho city, and that they were probably set-ling their traps to make Douolas the Locofoco candidate for the Presidency. Well, la this denied? Not at all, neither is it necessary to deny it. We neither suppose il is wrong per se, or wrong iu this particular case, for a man to be a candidate for the Presidency. If there is any thing " scandalous " about it, the fault is iu the men, and in the may it is done, and uot iu the announcement. Again, Gov, W rioht said he had Dot seen a drunken man or heard a word about politics, on the grounds of the Fair. We reported him us saying so. And tho Statesman thereupon draictn conclusion thai would stall the leu prize yoke of oxen from Ross county. The cd iter concludes lhat because there was no discussion of politics, therifors there was nothing said on this subject at the Neil House, or the American, or in Gov. W odd's iflice, or ai Mk part's house; and he proves nil this hy quoting the runnrksol Gov. Whh.ht about what hedid not see and hear al ihe Fair Gioimd ! Wonderful logic I Sensible conclusion ! Nobody else 1ms the news ! It is very refreshing to see an editor who can pub lish such infamous falsehoods a has the Statesman about Mr. Sta n n k r r , and when fully exposed reiterate (he falsehoods without a particle of proof, lecturing idhers about "slander, " falsehood, &c. People can not refrain from admiring such consistency bikI parity of character! Our readers havo the entire case. They oun see the kind ul argument used the line ut policy adopted hy the Statesman in it political discussions. We do not onu take Ihe pains to expose this miserable stuff, but do it, occasionally, to keep the public posted up on ihe literature, and logic, and common sense of ihe scrib blers who mangle editorials tor lhat concern. THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 2, 1851. Fur the Ohio Mate Journal. "Water Cure," near Brownsville, P.i., Seplember 1851. j Mr. Bascom Sir: Having spent the last and pre' ent Summer and Autumn at this establishment for the benefit of my health, Pennsylvania politics have be nine somewhat familiar to me. On the Q'-M of August I attended the Whig meeting in Brownsville, where Governor Johnstjn was in attendance, and wlio ad Iresitdthe people in a speech of two hours. I hnd ihe honor of a seat ou the ataud nnd an introduction to His Excellency. He is a noble looking man, a fluent Another Feature of Ohio Locoioeoism Dllort to evade the streets ofltsGal-Ifhinism by cliurffinit It upon others Attack upon Mr. Forrer. 8everal limes during the present campaign the hyena who presides over the columns of the OA to Statesman has made the most wanton, unprovoked and willfully malicious attacks upon the eminent Whigs who have been selected as candidates for sufTrage this fall. Iu every attempt the falsehood has been promptly met and as promptly put down. Tho public has not yet forgotten tho base attack upon Mr- Stakrert, and ihe utter contempt it drew down upon iUelf hy his triumphant defence and scathing reply. There never was a baser attack or a more complete refutation. Beaten, disgraced and despised for this, tho Statesman essays an attack in another direction, and, by the uid uf a miserable pimp, who gets his bread and butter by doing tho dirty work of his employers, an effort is made to get up a new issue by attempting to charge- Samukl Forrkr with being a defaulter! Yes, Samuel Forrf.r, who has been longer iu the service of the Stale lhan perhaps any other citizen, who has expended hundreds of thousands of dollars, who Is proverbial for his integrity, promptness, great energy, untiring industry and devotion to the interest of the State. He ha had funds in his hands lo an almost unlimited amount, un der all administrations; and the utmost stretch of par ty malignity never dared lo hint that he was capable of fraud, or of making an improper use of the funds of the Stale. If such had beeu his propensity he has bad ample time and menus to gratify it lung ere ibis period of life. Now we venture iho assertion that there cannot be found a Locofoco in Ohio, who claims to he a decent, respectable citizen, who will so tar compromise his haracter as to say ho believes, fur a moment, that M r, Forrkr is a defaulter in any sense of ihe term. We know nothing of this mailer, farther than appears in tlie Statesman, and the very exhibit thereiu given, how the purtHiBH for which the money wus drawn. We huve no doubt lhat every dollar ot it is paid as that exhibit thows it was paid. When auy of these per-sons come forward nnd say Ihey have no surh claim against the State, and that they have received no such sums, then ft would he proper to inquiro what had become of the money. Till this is done, Ihe very table published, like the base charge against Mr, Stanskrt, shows on PS hire the infamous fnlaehoiH ol thechai'g' Mr. Fokrer, it is contended, drew these sums of mon ey to pay certain contractor. Do they say they have uot received iheir money t Have they ever presented any claim at the Treasury for pay since the 1st April T Nobody pretends ihis.

It is kuowu to the editor of w Statesman, lhat Mr. Former is associated with a prominent Democrat, S. R. Hosmir, of Zanesville, in a contract to finish a canal in Indiana that the contract will amount lo half a million of dollars thai Mr. Fokher ia to be the general superintendent and acting mana ger, and that this Democrat refused to go iuto it utiles Mr. Fohrek would put his great experirure and high personal character into the engagement. It is also known that since the 1st of April he has been engaged much of his time, in this new work i and if he has for a few munis tailed to file his vouchers, it is a matter not uncommon, or non that attracts any notice, nr causes any uneasiness, either among Mr. Forrkr's friends, those in his official bonds, or iho officers of State.

I ho claim was not admitted, as it was the militia that were lo be reviewed. Gen. Wool, however, tigieed to go to the ground, and it was arranged thai he should have a place iu iheGovernor'seai tiage. In die sainerarriago were Col. Bruce and Co. Wuhb, as aids of the Governor. The Governor, observing lhat (ten. Wind nnd Col. Webb were not speaking, prottoxed lo intioduce lliem. Gen. Wool suul he did not know Col. Webb, and did uot want lo know him. There was then some allusions to a certain artirie iu the Courier and Enquirer, in which some nlb-ciums were made upoii the generalship of Wool. Col.

It appears there hai been a bad feeling between Wind and Webb ever since they were in the armytogether. Tlie next nlrh. I he surplus philanthropy which was hatched into being by the Cuban invasion, and left unnntirished by its untimely and tragical close, will be gratified to learn that there is still a prospect of tilling lis hungry maw and gratifying lis generous sympathies wilh the well-being of ihe humau race, and iho " rest of mankind " geuerally. This prospect is presented in the revolu tionary movements afoot iu the Mexican Stale of Co-ahuila and Tnmaulipas. These movement are assuming a shapo that warrant the belief lhat the Rio Grande couutry is soon to be the theatre of stirring oveuts. Tho standard of revolt has been raised, nu merous bodieirof Texuns have crossed the river uud unrolled themselves with the revolutionary party, and the Central Government of Mexico ia dm weak ami too embarrassed to crush the revolution. These provinces are wealthy and populous, and would make good slave territory, w e would commend them to Ihe special attention of Senator Doooi.ai, Gov. Kktholds, and oth ers who desire "to force the Government into a war, or put Ihe Whig administration out of (tower." By goitd management they tuny make this "a strong element in ihe next Presidential contest" Had not iho Senator an eye iu this direction when lie spoke of " ihe proba ble annexation of more Sugar gruvviug States to ihe Union. W hat else could he inennf Is he not assur ed that in this project," Chase can he relied iiiu to do his utmost in Ohio 1" Sonic great question must be suddenly thrown before the conuiry by our Lorofoco brethren, undercover ol which ihey tan cjrry ihe next Presidential contest, and to accomplish this, " tluugs is working." By such a plan they hope lo carry the slave States nearly unaiiimously. In order to carry the northern States, the plan is to "seek" on ihe Free Boiler lo run separate tickets, and thus draw euouuh from the Whig to leave ihe old Huuker Democrat in Ihe plurality hi Ohio and Pennsylvania, New Hump shire and Maiue, and tho thing is accomplished m la male Texas.

Lei our W lug lrieuds in Ohio see to iheir duty Thev can succeed if ihey only will it. Tho rurrem v of Ohio is sound and managed by a faithful and coin- pet in t head. The finances nf the S'ale are ably man aged and firmly established in Ihe habits of the pen- Tho Kay oils Net Eramyn lhat Mr. Hknrt Kirk-Patrick, uf that county, has sold a field of corn of 80 acres lor thirteen dollars and a half per acre. It is supposed lhat it will average from 80 to 100 busheli per acre. It has been worked wholly by the owner and one hired hand, and will yield aliont $10110 for the labor of thoie two persons. The great suit relating In tha estate of Col. James Tatlor, lale nf Newport, Ky., involving much prop erty boih in Kentucky and Ohio, has been decided by the Campbell county court, by repealing the order admitting lbs will to record, and permitting tlie sod, James Tatlor, to be sworn as executor. Tha next movt will b to set ssida tha will Reimior Wude. We perceive thut Mr. GmoiMii paper iu Ashtabula does not like the speeches which Senator W'ape making all over thai county. We do not wonder at it, We should suppose lhat W ape s facia and spirals to tho .men who wero once W higs, and who, upon all questions of practical imHirlauce are Wlugi still, would have great force. Bo thinks the Ginnisru or gan, aud hence iu gi naus and tears. Sensible men are beginning to see through Ihe wove mem of the h ad ers of their party ism in Ohio.

The bal ance of that parly can see the character of the men they have beeu trusting. Home of them have too much sense and perception of propriety to go with Cha.1 & Co. into full communion with a party that advocated the annexation ol Texas; the extension of of slave territory; the Mexican war, for the purpose of setting still more slave territory, and thai declared itself In favor of the annexation of Cuba, slavery ami all, tu these United Slates. It is gratifying to learn (bat thousands are gelling their eyes open to tlie true tendency of these things, and we do not doubt that the speeches and labors of Senator Wadi will do much in this behalf. Our Insnnc, and New Asylums. A few days since, on our way to Cincinnati, we hap pened to make the acquaintance of Mr. Dkath, the Superintendent of the Commercial Hosphal in that city. In conversation with him about the Institution, he remarked lhat they were crowded overrun, with application for relief, and thut Ihe capacity of the Hospital was fur beneuth the daily wauls of ihe city. He spoke particularly of the department for the Insane, as being altogether inadequate. He requested us to visit the Hospital during our stay in the city, and see fur ourselves, the true condition uf things. On our return from the Dayton Railroad Celebration we avniled ourselves of a leisure hour, and paid a visit in tho Hospital. We will state what we saw, and will call attention to what we regard as a partial remedy. The Superintendent took us through the department appropriated for the Insane. This we found crowded in excess. Every thing was as neat and in as good order ns could he, where so many and tvek persons were to be confined. Each of Ihe small room had an extra bed made upon the floor, and by packing in two, where only one ought to be, there was still not room enough to lodge them. The Halt had tu be used, and, at night, many of these unhappy persons had to bo chained in the passage, to prevent them from committing violence on each other, or destroying or setting fire to the property. There is uo place where they can resort outside except a small yard with brick walls around it, and brick pavement beneath, and where lu warm weaiher the sun pours in so that no person can remain there wilh comfort. And yet there is no remedy. Here is the only place, nnd the insane must be crowded into tht so air. ady crowded rooms, or not he received nt all. It is a bad sight, but better than permitting them to run ihrough the streets. The capacity of tho Hospital in the Insane depart merit is as follows: There are fifty one cells, large enough for only one person, and with single beds in each. Tho only means uf warming them is by a stove in the long halt, between ihe row of rooms, and this hall mutt be used to keep a portion of the Lunatics. There are now ju the Hospital one hundred and seven confirmed cases, beside a number that are of a trail " stent character. Tu show the rapid increase, we stato thai, from March 1st 18jO totMurch lt 'M, there were one hundred and sixty cases qgaered on the books, biA Irom March 1st 'Alto September l!Hh there hasahenlsyL been one hundred and fifty-seven new case. While everything is done that the means within their control will allow, yet the wants are so palpably far beyond the meau that something else must soon be done. These poor wretches cannot be taken cure of and treated there a they should be and would be in a regular Lunatic Asylum. Tu conversattou with Prof. Smith, tho Sopor in ten- dent of ihe Lunatic Asylum, since our return, he in- lormed us that there are at least twelve hundred Lunatics in Ohio out of the Asylum that ought to be under medical treatment to day. We call ttie attention of the people of Ohio to these aiublmrn fuels, and ask lliem w hat is lo be done f Shall this large and disiteied purl ion of our fellow citizens have (he benefit uf ihe menus provMed by ihe Stale lor a portion of their cla, or shall ib-y go on in iheir wretchedness and misery, horn loss aud cheerless, till death shall relieve them aud their friends and relation of llieir burden 1 We had occasion to remark upon this subject last wilier, wheu the subject of erecting new Asylums was before the Legislature. We took occasion to any tin n, as we repeal now, that every consideration of ecuuomy, humanity, andsell'-protec-tiott demanded lhat that steps he taken for the erection of two hew Asylums, the one in the uorih and the other in ihe sou lb portion Slate ; nr, if it be thought more expedient and economical, ihe great enlargement uf the present Asylum iu in ihis city. We know that some persons will object and say that the institutions will cost a grxd round sum of money' and we shall he taxed to pay for them, and our taxes are now very heavy. We admit all these, but do not think the objections weigh a feather in aonipariaon wilh the great good they would accomplish. All experience demonstrates thai insane persons can be treat ed much cheaper in a regular asylum lhan they can be in isolated rooms around the Slate; and ibn Iheir chances for permanent recovery are vastly impwved in well regulated iiistiiuiions where their t teal hum is made a mailer of science and skill. There is, indeed, nn view of Ihe subject lhat does not fully accord whh. our suggestion, that something toward elublihin asylums or greatly increasing ihe capacity of tlie old one should lie done before another winter passes away. Will the friends of humanity over Ihe State think of these thing, and be ready to uphold ihe hands of their representatives In llieir action towatd accomplishing this desirable object? It is a matter of congratulation that, in the great charities of the Stale, for the relief of the blind, the deaf and dumb and (he insane, political considerations are never allowed to interfere; and thai all parties have cordially united to give aid and comfort to these objects of public sympathy and protection.
