The disnstcrous effects are being felt in the various departments of the State government, audmore particularly in the benevolent Institutions of the State that derive their annual support from the legislature, iu consequence of the m.d conduct of the late republican Senate—they having had a clear majority in that branch of the Legislature, acted upon the principle that might makes right; and were determined to rn/i or ruin, which they carried out by refusing to pass the revenue and general npprobriation bills, which passed the House in due time, and could have become laws in ten minutes time if the Republican members of the Secf.te had so wished. The'"Democrats were all Jesirous to avoid the consequences resulting from a failure. The Board of Trustees of the Benevolent Institutions of the State jointly, have ihlmot alized the Governor to exercise the power conferred by the Constitution upon tiie executive to re-assemble the Legislature, and relieve those Institutions which are the pride of the State, from embarrassing'circumstances, into which they have been placed by the failure of the late legislature to make the necessary appropriation for thtir support. The Governor in answer to the memorial, has signified his willingness to do all that the Executive could to relieve the embarrasments; and that whenever the legislative department would exhibit a willingness to co operate, they should be called together for that purpose. Now ail lias been performed by the Lieruocrats of the Legislature which could possible be done to pass just and wholesome laws, which were immediately demanded by the people, yet the Republicans mused to'perform their duty, and upon their shoulders rests the responsibilty and expense of an extra session if one is re called. We think it would be light in view of the embarrassing situation in which the estate is placed, fur the Governor tore ns-seniMe the legislature, and if the Republicans still refuse to do their ut'.y, the teanu. responsibility wit) lay at their .loor. Doubtless they have already sain the "hand-writing upon the wall,” w hich will be interpreted by the people wiien they will set in judgment upon their conduct. Let the Democrats do their duty, and hold the republicans to a strict account for the violation of their constitutional obligations. Pt BLIC si IIUOLS It is with pleasure that we, this week, Are enabled to announce to the friends of Common School education, that the Trustees of tiiis place at the-ir last raft-ting deter raise! that a Public School should be continued during the summer season, and to carry out this determination, raised an ordinance levying the requisite amount of tax on each one hundred dollars of taxable property within the corporate limits of said town; thereby, raising a fund sufficient, added to what is received annually open destribufa’on from the fund known and School Fund,’ to enable the officers to maintain a public school within the Corporation ten months in the year. i :ie Trustees also determined that the sum me r ■session of said school, should be o; m to those residing without the limits of tap tqwn.who desire to nail themselves of the tillvlege, upon reasonblc terms, tiiis is just, equitable and praiseworthy. It is at the common and public schools, where the cl r. - f ‘ e S. i'e meet as oi-.e family, turd are by law placed upon one common kvt l, the rich man's child is entitled to no greater privileges than the poor man’s, all are equal, and receive instructions and admonitions from the same teacher, li i- from those institutions of learning, that the orphan and penny less child can, by rudustry and perseverance, wort his way yj> to public distinction, and become a useful mimber in society, Tiie common school system harmonizes beautifully with republican institutions. It becomes then our imperative duty to discountenance all select anj parochial schools, which are #pl to spring up and be fostered in almost every conrmnnitr, tiT The Washington .Star says that the stotk-s in the New York and other papers alleging the physical feebleness of Mr. B a dsanan arc nil/of <fe rod. lie has not looked better or been a stronger mar. in fifteen years than at present.

Patrick llexry’s Gkavjb.— The Milton (N. C.) Chronicle says: We mean no reproach to the State of Virginia (although she ought to blush, if she knows how, ) when we announce that to this day the grave of the illustrious and immortal Patrick Henry, is without even a stone or : a stick to mark the resting place of his bones. And there is but one person living who knows his grave with certainty - from others that surround it, and that, person is a venerable negro who has of--ten watered it with his tears. The ap- j parent negligence of his relations happen- i ed, as we learn, in this way: Virginia claimed the grave as her property, and promised to erect over it a monument worthy of the man, and as imperishable j as time. She has neglected to do it, but 1 having recently erected a bronze statute of Henry, at Richmond, a few ofhis rela- j lives have concluded to place a marble slab , over his remains. The slab is three feet | by nine, of the purest white American marble, and Contains this inscription: ‘To < the memory of Patrick Henry, born May j 29, 1736, died June C, 1799. His fame ( is his best epitaph.’ i Murder in Warrick Cointv. —The Evansville Enquirer learns that a coward- i ly and atrocious murder was committed I Son Tuesday week, upon the purson of a j highly respectable man, named McClintock, residing about four miles east of the ■ town of Boonvi’le, Warrick county. His wife was preparing supper for the family, and hearing a noise outside the house lie - ' opened the door, when he was immediate- \ ly shot in the side and fell dead in the J doorway. Wednesday morning, upon ex- i animation, it was found that he was per- | forated with eight buckshot, and it is sup- ' posed that the assassin must,have been j , standing close to the door sill. As yet no ; trace of the murderer have been found, I though after day broke lie was tracked 1 some distance by his footprints. This ( horrible affair has caused great sensation j throughout Warrick and pa r t of Vanderburgh counties, as the deceased was a man extensively known and highly respected by all who were acquainted with him, He left a family behind him, some of them quite young. He was a native of j Pennsylvania. ' The Lady of tue White House. — A correspondent nu(b , says: “Miss Lane, the niece of Buchan- i an, who is accredited as the controlling 1 force in the internal arrangements of the ! ’ ° .

Wood and coal being scarce and high priced, it, appears that many farmers find it both ! agreeable and profitable to burn corn in the car. The dollar-and-cent vie *is thus i stated: Wool an! coal at the door cost 86 50 per cord, or SC 50 per ton. Corn, seven-; ly five cents, at home twenty. A bushel will burn nearly, or quite as long as a bushel of coal, or wood of corresponding value. Thus, in point of expense, figures incline to the side of corn at present prices. They need a railroad in that region. itfA woman near Troy, Bradford county. Pa., had been annoyed by the mysterious disappearance of her butter ; from the premises, without being able to detect the thief. At last she procured a quantity of strychnine and worked it into a batch of fresh butter. This she placed where it would be taken by the thief. A .ew days thereafter two children of an Irish boarding house keeper fell suddenly ill and died; and several of the boarders likewise (ell sick, and were, at last accounts, in extreme danger. The woman was immediately arrested und lodged in Towando jail. case of poisoning is supposed to have occurred in Massaschusetts —this time a wife by a husband. Mrs. Lavinia Briggs died in Slonington on the j 27th ult., and circumstances which have ■>iace transpired have led to the exhuming of the body, and an analysis of the contents of her stomache, when it whs found that she had been poisoned by arse- 1 me. Hu husband, Hose a Briggs, and a young woman, named Adaline Drake, and brother, iu the house, have been arrested j on suspicion.

Joint Meeting of the Boards of Trustees of tlic Benevolent Institutions. At a meeting of the several Boards of Trustees and Superintendents of the Benevolent Institutions of Indiana, held at the Supreme Court Room, Indianapolis, on the 25th of March, 1057, convened according to previous notice, to consider the exigency arising from the failure of the Legislature to make the necessary appropriation to support said Instil utions. On motion, Hon. James G. Read was called to preside, and John S. bpaim appointed Secretary. Present, from the Deal and Dumb Asylum, Messrs. James P. Drake L. B. Stocklon, and John S. Spann, Trustees, and Mr. Mc’lntire, Superintendent. From the Hospital for the Insane, Messrs. W. 11. Talbott, C. C. Cambell, Henry Brady, Samuel Grimes, James Ritchey, and E. J. Peck, Trustees, and Dr. Athon, Superentendent. From the Blind Institute, MessrsJames G. Read, John F. Carr, E. W. H. Ellis, John 11. Cook, and N. B. Palmer. Trustees, and Dr. McWorkman, Superin, tendent. Gen. Drake made remarks, in which he expressed the opinion that the Governor should be called upon to assemble the Legislature without delay, and was followed by Dr. Cook and others, with like views. Mr. Palmer dissented. On motion, the following memorial was adopted, and a committee consisting of Mr. Talbott, from the Hospital, Dr. Ellis, from the Blind Institute, and Gen. Drake,. from the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, was appointed to present the same to Gov. W llliard: Indianapolis, March 25, 1857. Hon. A. P. Willard —Governor, Ac. Sir: —The undersigned, Supertendents ': and Trustees of the several Benevolent Institutions of the State, mot this day in the Capitol, for the purpose of taking | into consideration their condition and j prospects, in view of the failure of the i Legislature either to provide means for the I support, or to make an appropriation for current expenditures. The number of inmates of these institutions, receiving their benefits, and to whom the people of the State have hitherto, and are yet willing to extend their charities, with liberal hand, is very nearly as follows: Hospital for the Insane 269Deal and Dumb 160; Blind 60 Total. 480 Upon some of these the light of re-awa-kcaed intellect is just beginning to dawn some are raving within tiie walls of the Hospital, others, whom God has deprived of the sense of sound oi sight, are being UlbtU IDI uobiumcisS, vv iUI iiiiuu a ing with intelligence, and bands acquiring tiie habits of industry. The interest of these facts is not lessoned by the knowledge that the larger proportion of these unfortunates have come from the habitations of the poor and humble, and some have neither home nor relative without the walls of the Institutions. To send them thus abroad would be the very height of cruelty. Under these circumstances we feel deeply impressed with the importance of coDtmuiug the Institution and we feel assured that if the voice of this uubie people could be heard il would come up as the voice of one man in favor of the policy we have indicated. The generous sympathy | they have manifested in our efforts, the pride they take in these institutions, the cheerfulness with which they furnish the j annual contributions for their support, all I show dial in these respects the people are : capable of rising above all party considerations. There are three courses of policy which ' may be presumed in regard to the benevolent institutions. First —They may be kept in operation by the Executive officers, by obtaining money and appropriating it in violation of law, and accumulating a burden to be met hereafter by our people, Second, They tnay be closed peremptorily and the unfor'-unale inmates, returned to desolate and uncomfortable homes, or thrown upon the cold charities of the world. Third, The constitutional power of the j Governor may be exercised to re-assemble the Legislature, and let them assume the responsibility of whatever maybe concluded upon. Be tbeii action what it may, the Governor will have done his whole duty, and have washed his own hands from ail blame or responsibility.— In our opinion it is the only legitimate, just, and lawful remedy, Trusting that , your excellency will view the matter as we do, and convene the Legislative Department at an early day we are very respectfully, Ac.

Willard, and received hi* reply, submit- j ted the same as follows; f Indianapolis, March 20, j Gentlemen; —Your communication of . this date is received and I shall at an , eailev day consider the suggestions you have made. I feel every disposition to sustain the institutions which are unf der your charge, so lar as my executive duties will permit. And whenever the Legislative Department of the State exhibits a willingness to co-opeiate, they , shall have every opportunity which I can ! afford them, by employing all the powers vested in the executive of the State by the Constitution. Very Respectfully, ASH BEL P. WILLARD. Messrs. James S. Athon & Others, Indianapolis. : On motion, the several papers in the! State, were requested to publish these proceedings. On motion, the meeting adjourned to meet on lhe 2d day of April next ( Thursday) at 2 o'clock, P. M. JAMES G. READ, President. ,U>hs S. Spann, Secretary. Tastes Witter. In a letter on what he has seen abroad, Wendell Phillips observes: j In Italy you will see a man braking up . his land with two cows, and the root of a | tree for a plow, while lie is dressed in skins ; with the hair on. In Roam, Vienna, and < Dresden, if you hire a man to saw wood, he does not bring a horse along. He never had one, or his father before him. He ' puts one end of the saw on the ground, and the other in his breast, and taking the wood in his hand, rubs it against the saw. It is a solemn fact, that in hlorence, a city tilled with the triumph of art, there is uot a single auger, and if a car- j , penter would boar a bole he does it with a red hot poker. This results not from the want of industry, but of sagacity of thought. The people are by no means idle. They toil early and late, men, women and children, with an industry that 1 shames labor-saving Yankee. Thus he makes labor, and the poor must 1 ive. In Roam, charcoal is principally used for fu- ■ el, and you will see a string ol twent mules ; bringing little sacks of it upon their backs when one mule could draw all of it iu s cart. But the charcoal vender never had j a cart, and so he keeps bis mules . and , feeds tiu.ni. This is.from no want of in- j duslry, but there is no competition. A Yankee always looks haggard and nervous, as if be were a chasing a dollar. 1 With us money is everything; and when . we go abroad we are surprised to find . that the dollar has ceased to be almighty. If a Yankee refuses to do a job for fifty i cents, lie wall probably do it for a dollar, and will probably do it for live. But one j of the laazaroni of Naples, when lie has : j VHI lltU IVi U UClita aim vatut ilu.ui, ..11l ' work no more that day if you offer him j ever so large a sum. He has earned : enough for the day, and wants no more. So there is no eagerness for making money, no motive for it, and everybody moves , ■ slowly. A Bold Forgery. An artful and successful forgery was j committed a few days since on John Sel- J lers, of Upper Darby, Delaware county . A well-dressed, respectable looking man, ' on the morning of the day upon which the j forgery was perpetrated, stopped the team of Samuel Caley, jr., of Newtown, in the road, and learned from the driver that he was on his way from the farm of Mr, j Caley to the mill of Mr. Sellers with a load of wheat, and that se\ ei al other loads had been previously conveyed to the same \ . place. With this information as a basis, the stranger proceeded at once at the ' residence of Mr. Caley, and, representing himself as a resident of New Jersey, in search of a farm to purchase, induced 1 that gentleman to accompany him to the ■ place of a neighbor (Nathan Pratt) aud after examining the farm carefully, ex--1 pressed himself highly pleased with it, 1 and obtained the address of Mr. P,, in I order, as lie alleged, to correspond with - him upon the subject. He subsequently I procured the address of Mr. Caley.— - With this autograph, he filled up an or- - der for nintey dollars, with the signalure , of Mr. Caley attached and presented it :■ for payment to a son of Mr. Sellers, who was iu the mill, and, who, after examin- , ing it, and being unable to detect any ; dissimilarity between the forgery and the cashed it. The villain stated . that the money was due him as a balance G for a pair of mules which lie had sold to s Mr. Caley, He afterwards endeavored' , by another spurious order, to obtain forly- . five dollars from the fatberof Mr. Caley, in Philadelphia, but suspicion was art oused and the swindlei failed. g He is represented as being a tall, slen- . der man, about thirty years of age, cloth- . ed in dark apparel, and having whiskers over his whole face, but no mustache.— Efforts were promptly made to arrest him, but, as yet, he has succeeded in eluding a’,l pursuit. The whole transaction was most artfully and ingeniously managed throughout, from the preliminary steps to its termination. It should render our citizens careful in giviug their names to r strangers, as several instances havex>ecurredinthis county, where signatures have been used to defraud and swindle those from whom ttiey were obtained.—Delaware Co. Jiepublicon. n ‘Nat, what are you leaning over that j empty cask for?’ ‘l.m mourning over departed spirits,’ was the answer e ■■■ —■ m Con.— Why is a vulgar but amiable : young lady like brown sugar?

Thu I’»st amt Fiture of the Democratic I’artr If, says the ‘Pefinsyivanian’ ‘History i 3 Philosophy teaching by Example,’ have we not a right to argue for the Democratic party a brilliant and triumphant future? In looking back from the present stand point, and contemplating the i series of achievements it has won in its encounters with hostile forces, from time to time, in order to shape the destinies of the country and make its impress upon j this age of progress and ol reform, who can fail to deduce a lesson at once instructive and significant? Taking the Conslitu- ! tion for its guide and chart, and keeping an eye single to the welfare of the people, and the udtole people, the march of this great party has been onward and upward —the reverses and checks which it has ■ occasionally encountered, only more clear]y and conclusively proving its ascenden-, 'ey and its policy essential and indispensable to the harmonious woi kings of our institutions, and the true illustrations of the graud ideas of the fathers of the Republic. The secret of the success which has crowned the cause of the Denmocratic party from the foundation of the government, it is nationally, —and the fact that its nationally springs from its strict ad- ' herence both to the letl.t and to the spirits of the Constitution. Although, in ■ their conflicts with it, other parties have laid claim conservatism, it is, after all, the real conservative party of the country, because it would preserve infact the fundamental law of land, and would not submit to, nor countenance loose and visionary implication of constilutional guaranj tees, through which the rights of the people and the sovereignty of the State might ; be frittered away and troden under foot. Thus, when the immortal Jackson startled the country with those great truths wlijph he urged against the re-charter oi the U. S. Bank, and for which he was assailed with the most rcmoiseless calumny malignity, he was but a bold and fearless conservative leader, vindicating the letter aud spirit of the Constitution, and like a hero that he was, throwing him- ] self in the breach to protect the people from the Vandal hands of those who would have soiled and destroyed the great | charter of their rights and their liberties. And it was a glorious and a cheering sight —and many are still living to remember ; it—to see with what unanimity the honest yeomanry of the country rallied around their chief in that trying hour and iminent crisis, and sustained him against the , rude shock of the demagogues and charlatans who thought to fasten upon our ini solutions a vast money power, unknown to the Constitution and pregnant with a j thousand evils-a monster Briarius, whose many and stalwart arms might, in an un- — —..nr— i t.g u»r hnasted liber- ; tics to death. So too, in the bitter warfare which t:ie Democratic parly was forced to wage against their political foes, involving the I question of the revenue laws, proceeding i the establishment of the Tariff of 1846; it | involved the indisputable truth that Congress lias no right to tax one portion of the people or one section ot the country for the benefit of another section or another class of citizens—and proclaimed such precedures a wrong and an outrage having no warrant in the Constitution, and hostile to every dictate of justice and of magnanimity. Though bitterly assailed for the position thus assumed, and nearly overthrown in the shock of opposing factions, it came triumphant and uni scathed from the smoke of the battle, with ranks unbroken and banners floating proudly'. Time which makes all things even, has proved the correctness of the doctrines then advanced, and the opposition became disarmed of its hostility, and acquiesed in that particular policy; although during its agitation, political sooth sayers predicted that if the measures was carried, ships would rot at our wharves, commerce would be prostrated and ruined, and our maritime cities become a howling desolation! Another crowning feature and glory of : our great old party consists in the fact; that it wars upon no section nor no particular class of citizens on account of birthplace or of religion. Believing the Constitution strong enough and broad enough to embrace every citizen of the Republic, it would throw ihe protecting mantle of that great palladium around a!!. It j would embrace the poor and the rich, the ' proud and the humble, within the folds of that great instrument as it was handed | down to us by our fathers. It is this sentiment adhered to with fidelity amouting to a religous devotion, tha't makes the democratic party invincible; and makes every page of its annals thus far luminous with bright deeds and with splended ■ triumphs—which has enabled it to spurn every enemy from its pathway, and to live down detraction and abuse, until it ; now stands proudly flushed with domini ion, abounding with power. To preserve iu high position, it has but to be true to i its ancient allegiance—true to the faith of the fathers of the Republic—true to the great principles of the Constitution, which have given it vitality and: constituted its strength— true to the mission of human reform an advancement with which it seems to have been entrustde by Providence—and it may with confidence, anticipate a Future still more bril lient Rnd successful than the Past. A bill has passed one branch of the I ennsylvania Legislature imposing a fine and imprisonment on private bankers and brokers that deal in uncurrcnt money.
