Elofcutlon-Professor Ilronsoii; V are pleased to be enabled to announce to the public that the celebrated elocutionist, Professor Buoitow, will soon be in our city, and that he contemplates delivering a toorSe of lectures. So universally known and approved are his lectures, especially in the east ern cittf; tKat it niight be deemed süpererögant to give a synopsis of the principles of his system at this time: We would therefore refer to bis böok, entitled "Elocution ; or. Mental abd Vocal Philosophy : involving the principles of reading and Speakinjj ; &ic: SiCt aid to the Card which appears in this paper. Fatal Accident. On Saturday, an Irishman whose name we did not learn, while blasting stumps on the rail road line about four miles from the city, was so much injured by a premature explosion, that he died during the nibt.

Exlraä öf a ktter to the editor, dated Pkiscetox, Ind., Sept. 24, 1945. Gextlimes: I don't think the new Democrat" as it is called, that is to be started at Indianapolis, Will take well in these diggins. We think that t.i you have borne the brunt and done our fighting fr the last five or six years, if there is pap, you ought to have it; and not Euffer a milk-arid-water et to come iü and carry off the spoils). . We have a great deal of sickness in this section of the Slate, more so than I have known from thirty-one years residence in this place. I am in hopes when our friends meet this winter they will Settle down on some true democrat, one that is worthy, and not suffer the wbigs to elect one for us. But let the man live where he may, east, west, north or south, let our party unite on him. The true principle is, to "give and take," and not let our opponents decide for us. Yours truly, A. The (JutE BkAsch is" informed, (as are also some Other whig papers) that out Mysteries" were commenced previous to th3 iarning of the p'rctepcclus for the "Indiana Democrat and the fact of its being issued at all, w.ll have no bearing on our expositions. As to our knowledge of the rascality we intend to expos3 previoui to this time, we plead guilty. But would the editors alluded to attack gun -boats while frigates were before them 1 Would they pick up coppers while half eagles covered the ground 1 It suited us to blaze away at the biggest enemy first. We felt it to be our duty to skin the coons first and the skunks at cur lebrtre. The first was the hardest job,- tlie last the nastiest. The first is" accomplished ; and the poor denuded coons' are like the fox who' lost his brushy appendage in the trap they desire to see the skunks in the fame predicament, -and are shouting l.ke very deviU at our success in the latter operation. We expect to see the anlnJal mir as soon as1 their I ides are out of the way, so as to prevent recognition. . Tiie editor of the Tippecanoe Journal is either a federal tory, a hater of American Institutions, or a very great coward. His awful forebodings about war or fighting are enough to "make the boys stone him In the etreeti.' It w ould be nonsense to ask the old gentleman to "come out;" for his paper teems with articles traitorons or cowardly. He may rest assured that he shall not be hurt, even if war 6hould be declared by a nation worth fihtinif. We have no doubt his beautiful daughters will cross the breed, for American mothers would whip their boys "within an inch of their lives," should they whine as does' the veteran Major, in fear of war; Orlf the Brookvie American alludes to us in its remarks of the 2Cth, we shall plead guilty to but a very small portion ; and for authority for what we do occasionally allude, to we refer the editor to Samxtev Merrill, Esq. late President of the State Bank. We dislike the style of which he complains as much as any one ; but when it ia used falsely towardi u, we must return it gnuine, if possible. fjOur friend in Gibson county is informed that we understand the Circular" of which he speaks, as applicable to every Slate in the Union. It was a general instruction, as we understand it. C7"The Rushville Whig is informed that we reguItte our own business. It may as well attend to its 6vtn. The Bed'ford Srx ii the title of a new Democratic paper, published at Bedford, Ind., by Comingore & Marts, and edited by James Htghes, Esq. We hope the gentlerriert will riot get too many irons in the fire, to their cwri injury'; We Wish them success. Wheat. The Brookville American' very justly complains of individuals, who', to deceive the' färmers for their own gain, advertise high prices for wheat j and when they thus induce fatnters to bring In a plentiful supply, refuse to pay over a certain amount generally less than is paid at other places. Such conduct is not only reprehensible, but injurious" to ucb Shy locks themselves, and tending to injure the credit of honest merchants and ruin the character of the place. Such men should be publicly exposed and all dealings with them avoided. Cliapman, the article you copy and credited to the Beacon, concerning Jlr. Covington, should be credited to the Register. Lawrenceburgh Register. We ask pardon. It was purely unintentional ; for nothing could be further from us than a desire to injure our friend, the Register. E. A. Hannegan, U. S.

The following correspondence shows that the IIooslers are ready and waiting." Örrgoü and Texas are ours aud we must hive the"rfl. As soon Will the Hoosiers part with thrir own State as with either one or the other.' But to the correspondence. Capt. Walker, Who steps so manfiilly forward, is one whd did yeoman's service in the last war. . He baa 'doieas of fights in him yet. His " riflemen are minute ren, and not a whit behind their veteran commander in oatriotism or courage. It 12 but tne leeling or the whole State indeed we bight say of the whole West ; j and his Excellency but speaks the single sentiment of the people; that the bffer how made, "will be but an eahiest of the thousands of citizen soldiers in this State, who, on short notice, will zealously throng to do battle in their country's cause:" IxDiiNAroLia, Sept. 11, 194o. Si: Ev a letter received from Capt. William Walker, of Evansville, in this State, who served as volunteers, at that place, and now Under his command, have recently been organized, for the purpose, as it is expressed, of " offering their services to the United States in the war betweeti this country and Mexicd:" In reauestinjr the Executive of this State in behalf of himself and country to make known this oner, as soon as possible, to tlie proper Uepartmentj he states that " they are now awaiting orders, and can be ready to march in defence of their Country, at five minutes notice.' . In gladly complying with their request, I beg leavÖ to. add that in the event of hostilities between our beloTcd country and Mexico, or any other power, I entertain no doubt, from the spirit already manifested in our midst, that the offer now so promptly and patriotically Piade, will be but an earnest of the thousands of citizen soldiers in this State, tvhoj oh short notice, will zealously throng to do battle in their country's cause. I have th? honor to be, Very respectfully. Your obt. eervt. JAS. WHITCOMB. Tq the Hon. William L. Maect, Secretary of War; . Washington City". War Department, Washington, Sept. 19, 1945, Sir: Your Excellency's letter of the 11th mst. offering the services of Captain William Walker's Company of Indiana Riflemen, in case of war between this country and Mexico, has been received. I deem it proper to inform your Excellency that it is pot anticipated from the present state of our foreign relations, that any necessity will arise for calling out additional force in aid of the regular army; but the numerous tedders' of service, received from various parts of the United States, are regarded by the Presinent and this Department as evidence of the public spirit and patriotism which will ever be displayed by the citizen soldiery in defence of their country. Very respectfully t Your ob't serv't, W. L. MARCY, Secretary of War. His Excellency, Jas. Whitcomb, Governor of Indiana, Indianapolis, I a'. Advertising. Some of the papers of the State, particularly the Wabash Express and Tippecanoe Journal, find fault because the lands forfeited to the State are published in the papers in Indianapolis, and not divided amofg the local papers; With the understanding thejrfcave of the matter, their complaints seem to be just Let us examine the matter. The law provides that these advertisements shall be so published. The Legislature then, only can alter tlie law. Secondly, under the miserable system of underworking which for years prevailed at this place, especially by old Johnny Douglass, the prices have been reduced, so that we should be glad to have it divided as our friends desire. If they choose to publish an average square of 250 ems for nine weeks for 62i cents, we say, take the whole, and welcome ; . and this is all we get. The idea of " favoritism " here, as insinuated by the Tippecanoe du mal, has no existence, except in the brain of the editor. We believe that the person who drafted the law in relation to these advertisements, had no idea of hatirig them advertised nine successive weeks ; but so the law is worded, and there is no avoiding it. And another consideration should be taken into view.- lio doubt these moneys were all loaned to poor laboring men ! (perhrtpa ;) and the board do not Wish to add a cent to their already onerous burdens' ! A nd should not the printer perform his part for their benefit 1 They would be far from increasing the expense by postage and double advertising, and therefore have reduced the printer's price. Under the present arrangement, we consider the advertisements' in question" an injury to our paper rather than a benefit. We will further add, that experience has taught us, that there is not a local paper in the State but can make more real profits from its advertising than can the papers at Indianapolis, taking into consideration the great expenses necessarily incurred here. The profits on State advertising would scarcely pay our Legislative reporters: Xew Cfliliolic Cathedral. Wo learn from the Cincinnati Union, that the new Catholic Cathedral, which has been in progress of erection for the past three or four years, is drawing near completion. It is to be dedicated, we are in formed, says the Enquirer; on the 1st Monday in November next. Several Bishops fretn tfe adjoining States, the Arch-Bishop of Baltimore', Bishop Hughes, of New ork, and Bishop Fenwick, of Boston, are expected to be present to aid in the ceremonies. A magnificent organ, manufactured by Mr. Schwab, is being put up. A marble altar, procured from Italy, under the superintendance of our townsman, R. R. Springer, is expected here in a few days. To our ci tizens; we learn, a general invitation will be extend ed, add we presume they will Congregate in large numbers, attracted by the grand imposing ceremonies on that occasion. Abbt Kellt. This1 fanatical ofd lady went into" a Quaker Meeting a short time since, full of the "spi rit," judging from the way it eame out of her. The broadbrim brethren were amazed at this disturbance of their devotions J and an old gentleman arose and said, "Friend AlArfi thee disturbs us. Out came the "spirit' faster and harder. "Friend Abby, wilt thou leave!" quoth broadbrim. . Abby only tuned her squeaking voice a note or two higher, showering down abuse on her interrogator and the society g'erieraHlj; Broadbrim looked around, and lo' ! üp rose sötne fotrr athletic men; who approached Abby, took her up arf gently al possible" despite her shrieks and naihr, for she clawed lustily, and taking her a good distance from the place of worship, they laid her carefully on the ground, and returned to' their devotions in the most silent manner. Abby went offhonieT (his home) with a fanatic brother, who sat down an'd gate vent to his feelings by writing an account of this ter rible outrage which he did not see. ITIuinc.

Miami Lands. We cut the following remarks from the Ft. Wayne Sentinel. We understand them to be correct ; and in addition can say, that for several years past, we have often heard the inquiry, when are these lands to be soil ? We do hope the Government will look to this matter as sooii as possible. It would be of immense advantage to our State as well as to individuals, to bave these lands sold. Purchasers we know are waiting. As we mentioned a week or so ago many are on their way north, desirous of purchasing and settling on the State lands adjacent to the Government lands ; and even this would not be, if tlie Canal Scrip could not be purchased at a low rate with which to enter them". Let tlie Government bring these public lands into market, and much good will result. It ought, if possible, to be done at once, as this is the season to sell advantageously; If it cannot be 'done without the action of Congress; their attention should be early called to the subject. It is known to most of our citizens that there are

several tracts bf valuable public lands purchased of the Miaraies by the treaties of 1S34 and 15533, Ivinjr near this city, which have never yet been offered for sale, although they were, surveyed and the maps placed in our land office years ego: Most of these lands are of the choicest quality; and their locations so near this city and the Wabash and Erie Canal would ensure their ready sale and improvement if they were only brought into market. The withholding them from sale greatly retard the settlement and impair the prosperity of this part of the country ; and it has become a matter of inquiry amqng thoee anxious to buy, why they are so long kept out of market As far as we can learn, 11 that is required is, Bimply for Congress to pass an act attaching thetn to the district in which tl.ey lay. There are also several other tracts of land along the line of the Wabash and Erie Canal that were suspended from sale many years ago until the completion of that work, so as not to interfere with the sale of the lands donated to the Slate to aid in its construction. The canal how being completed, and the State lands sold, there is no longer any reason for reserving them from sale, and instructions ought immediately to be given for again offering them. These lands, atid those alluded to as having been purchased at the treaties of 1834 and 1938, are scattered through the district, and ought to be offered for sale before the great Reserve is brought into market, s they would sell to much better advantage. From 30,000 to 35,000 acres of this land lies in this county, and some of it almost in the suburbs of our city. It is difficult to imagine why it has been so long kept out of market unless, as many are inclined to believe, some formerly in power entertained no' friendly feelings towards the settlement of this part of the State, or were influenced by speculators to keep it back until they could sell their, lands and enrich themselves at the expense of poor settlers, who would otherwise have bought of the government. These remarks, it will be remembered, do not apply to the Great Miami Reserve,' which is so conspicuous on the map of out State, and which was purchased at the treaty of 1840 but merely to the land previously purchased. The Great Reserve is not yet surveyed but as the time stipulated for the removal of the Indians beyond the Mississippi expires this fall, some steps should, and we presume will, be immediately taken to have it done, and brought into market. 31 r. Blake, when Commissioner (though from his being a citizen of the State, he might have been expected to have known better,) could never be made to understand that there was any land in the State belonging to the general government that had not been offered for 6ale, except tlie Great Reserve ; but from what we hear of the energy and business habits of Mr. Shields, thfe new commissioner, we shall be much disappointed if he does not soon find out "how the IaM lies" in this district, and act au ordingly. We don't pretend to know whose business it is to see to matters of this kind. All that we know is, that there is a large body of valuable land in this vicinity for sale that the whole community is anxious to have it sold that purchasers have been waitin for years for an opportunity to buy, and are ma kin daily inquiries as to the time of salef right of pre emption. and the reason why it Is held bock--andthat if it had been offered at the time it ought, the greater part of it would have been now under cultivation, add ing much to the wealth and resources of the State. That there is something neceesary.to be done before these lands can be sold we are informed is the case. We are further informed, that that something is, simply,an act of Congress, attaching these lands to their proper district, which will enable the authorities" tq proclaim them for sale. If this be all, we hope and truel it will soon be accomplished. The Jackson Statue. The meeting of which we have already made some remarks, was held ill Washington on Monday evening, pursuant to notice, and the following resolutions were adopted : Resoltedi That the American people be called upon to ttiixa in erecting at the seat of the Federal Government a suitable monument to the memory of the Hero, Patriot, and Sage, whose recent loss the nation still deplores, to go down to our most distant posterity, as a record of the (freat Man's glory, of his coun try s gratitude and grief. Resolved, That a colossal equestrian Statue in imperishable bronze; is deemed uiost suitable for the purpose; to transmit to future centuries the features and form on which the aunals of the Republic will teach each new succeeding generation' to look with an ever renewed love and reverence, and aft ever-renewing ambition to emulate bis noble deeds and noble Virtues". Resolved; Th.at for the purpose of raising, by voluntary subscription; the requisite sum, a Central Committee of thirteen be appointed, which shall proceed forthwith to organize tlie necessary measures for the collection of such subscription ; by whom a monthly puoucation 01 the same snail oe maue, and the money securely invested ; and Resolved, That, as General Jackson's own most trusted and belc'ved1 friend,' and the Selected itfheritor of his papers, and guardian' of his fame, Francis I Blair, be appointed Treasurer."

Commencement.' of the Indiuua State University. The exercises connected with the commencement of thiä University were the following : On the Sabbati) preceding the day bf commencement, a very impressive discourse was preached by the President, the Rev. Dt.WtLie, Addressed specially

to thoee who were about to complete their course of study in the Institution. On Tuesday G; M. Overttrect, of Franklin, the annual address before the Athenian Society'. On Wednesday, the exercises of the occasion were opened with prayer by the Rev. W. Wilson, of Cin cinnati, and orations were delivered by several members of the graduating class, which were for style of composition and manner of delivery, highly credi'. able performances. In the afternoon Judge McDonald, the Professor of Law, delivered ad address before the Law class, which for cha8tehe"ss of style, moral tone, and force of appeal could hardly be surpassed! His subject was Means of Professional Success." Industry and integrity he urged as forming the basis of all permanent professional success and reputation, and pointed the young men of the class, to the great sages of the Law in tlie United States and Great Britain. It was an address which could not fail to produce an eflfcet in awakening high sentiments of professional honor upon the class and a large number of professional gentlemen who were present. This was followed by the. Baccalaureate Address of the President, in which affecting allusion wis made to the recent detease of George A. Ilauser, a member of the class. The main topic of the address was Common Sense. It having been printed before delivery was ready for immediate publication". . The degree of Bachelor .of Arts was conferred upon the following young gentlemen of the Senior class : Jesse J. Alexander, John A. Campbell, lohn A. Millen, R. Q. Roache, William E. Simpson, and B. W. Wilson; The degree bf Bachelor of Law was conferred upon the following gentlemen of the Law Department : Grafton F. Cookerly, John W. Cowen, William B. llagins, Willis A. Gorman, David K. Smydth, James Wilson, Samuel T. Wylie and James S. Hester. Total of graduates in both departments, 14. The Degree of L. L. D. was conferred upon the Hon. Isaac Blackford, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State. Ai a meeting of the Alumni present, Benjamin J. Gwathmey, of Kentucky, was elected the orator for next commencement, and William II. Head of Mississippi, his alternate. In the, evening, Rev. Mr. Beecher of Indianapolis, delivered the annual address before the Fhilomathean Society. His subject was intolerance, and the address was pronounctd by an eminent gentleman present, who has been in tlie habit of listening to the ablest speakers in Europe and America, to be characterized by as strong marks of genius as any which he bad heard for many years. The speaker in the most graphic manner exhibited the various forms of intolerance. He spoke of the intolerance of religious rites,' of political parties, öf social circles made allusion to exhibitions of it in different States urged the right of the freest inquiry in all subjects political, religious, social, that reason and argument are the only weapons with which to beat down" wrong opinions' that the" very spirit of the age is that of enquiry which neither European monarcbs nor American nobles can keep down. Every topic was treated in a bold and graphic style, and an immense audi ence enchained during its delivery. Tlie day of commencement was delightful. The spacious chapel of the University was filled to overflowing during all the exercises. The Governor of the Slate was present as an official visiter, and numerous strangers. The University is in a very flourishing condition. Its corps of instructors consists" of the President, four Professors, and the Principal of tlie Preparatory Department. The number of students in the University for several years has steadily and gradually increased in & manner which indicates permanent prosperity. In the year 1840, the number of students in all departments was 64, in 1841, the number was 81, in 1842, 89, in 1843 115, in 1S44, KJO, in 1845, 174. The chemical Labratory of the University is equal, if not superior to that of any merely literary institution in the West. There is connected with the institution, a boarding house, which for two years' has been under tlie control of a club, where between 30 and 40 students board themselves, hiring a boy and cook, and catering for themselves at an expense of a little over 00 cents a week." , The next session opens on Monday the 3d of Nori ITIotc lYe'w Books. Sam. Turner has just received another large lot of new and excellent books among which we enumerate the following: Harpers' Illuminated Bible, No. 35,' 3ff, 37, and 3B. It is as' excellent as ever. Harpers' Illuminated Shakspeare, Nos. 61,62, 63, and 61. The best edition of Shakspeare ever pub lished. Encyclopedia of Domestic Economy, Nos. 9, and 10. Two more numbers completes the, work.' It should be read by every body, especially by all class es of mechanics. the Bosom Friend.

Travels of Marco Polo, illustrated by maps, &e, Avery interesting work, and containing much in structing matter, especially relative to tlie interior provinces' of China, &-c. Domestic Economy, by Miss Catherine E. Beecher. We consider this one of the most useful works of the kind ever published. It is also got up in excellent style by the Harpers. Not a family among us will be without it, after once examining it. It is intended more especially for' young ladies at home and at school but cunn'ot be read without profit by any one. Miss Beecher is, we believe, sister to the Rev. H. W. Beecher, of our place ; and inherits in her style his boldness and vigor, tempered by kindly love for all that is good and useful. Of her, it is said, that Henry once remarked, "if I had the talents cf Kate, I would make a noise in the world." A beautiful compliment Almanacs for 1846. C. B. Davis has laid on our table th following almanacs for the coming year 1316. "De Darkie's," "Turner's," "Fisher's ConYfc," and "Crockett's."

Louis McLane, the new American Minister in England,. has. taken up his residence at 39 Harley streetl Cavendish Square. The Acadia arrived out in eleven and a half days from Boston one of tlie shortest voyages ever made. The cottn market has. shown symptoms of improvement. The sales up to the end of. the week, exceeded 43,000 bags, a daily average of more than 8,000. In the four days since nearly 40,000 bave been sold, and prices are very evidently getting up. The weather in England, which had for some time been stormy, and which it was greatly feared would injure the growing crops and retard the harvest, has suddenly changed for the better, and there is a fair prospect of abdndancn. Every interest is feeling tlie advantage of restored confidence. The Btate of trade is in rriost respects satisfactory. The demand for all the leading staples, whether su gar, coffee, wool or cotton, is so steady as to indi cate a hcahby consumption, and the supplies are sui ficient tc check any exorbitant advance. The religious disturbances in Germany have not been renewed, and the popular irritation has been ar rested by the King's prompt compliance with tlie re quest of the citizens in regard to a commission of in quiry. The French have met with some reverses' in Al giersthe Arabs at Orleansville having again revolt ed. The news from Ireland is not important.

There has been, on the west coast of Africa, a suc cessful engagement between the boats of one of her Majesty's 6hips. and a larcre pirate slaver. The boats engaged in the affair belonged to the Pantaloon Lieut Provo6t finallv succeeded in canturin? the vesseK but the pirates fought desperately, and it was not until seven of their number were killed, and seven or eight more severely wounded that tbey ran below or yielded. The papers' contain full accounts of the journeyings of the Queen and royal party in Germany. On the 27th of August her Majesty proceeded from Coburg to Gotha, accompanied by Frince Albert, the King and Queen of the Belgians, and the Keigning Duke, where, they would remain till the 3d or 4ih of Sep tember, when Uiey would return homeward. In Poland there is a complete famine. The chief topics of discussion during tlie past fort night, have been the rumored appearance of war be tween Mexico and the United States, and the apprebended deficiencies ot the crops, through the preva lence of weather unfavorable to the prospects of the ajrricultunts. : . The Parliamentary session being over, the Queen beim? on a tour of pleasure in Germany, U Connel in retirement at Derrynane, and the ministers and other legislators being on the moors shooting grouse or in the fields popping at partridges, there is little of incident to record in the political world. 1 here are some reports of changes" in the -ministry. Lord Lyhdhurst,' it is eaid, is desirous of retiring, and the question was, who woul 1 succeed him ? Scotland, w;hich usually absorbs but little of the politician's attention, has been disturbed,- during the last few days, by one or two erneutes, not very serious, but sufficient, in the absence of more stirring events, Id fix the public gaze on that part of the island.' The Scene of the principal outrage was Dunfermline, where the house of an employer was attacked and bis family maltreated, by his operatives, arising out of a dispute about wages. Troops were despatched to Edinburgh, and tlie newspapers gave importance to the circumstance by displaying, in imposing capitals, the "Riots in Scotland." As a set off against this ungodly outbreak, the general assembly of the Free Church has gone as far north as Inverness to proclaim the "r7ord," and collect the "siller." , 0 We are extremely sorry to observe in the last No. of the Lawrenceburjjh Beacon, au . attack upon Gov.

We assure the editor of that paper, with whom we have not the pleasure of an acquaintance, that that is not the way to prove himself a consistent Democrat particularly in this section of the State. We can assure him that tJie names of Üiese distinguished gentleman stand far above the reach of his arm. No two individuals in in the State of Indiana deserve more from the Democratic party than James Whitcomb and Jesse D. Bright. No two individuals have ever had more violent abuse heaped upon them by the Federalists than those rentlemcn. To the giant minds and powerful exertions of these men do the Democracy of Indiana, in a great measure, owe their present proüd and exalted positiou ; and when we see one, professing Democracy, drawing his weapon upon them, we are forced, however unpleasant the task, to speak out. Abuse against such men as Whitcomb and Bright belongs to rederahsm. It comes with a bad grace trom one pro fessing Democracy. We want no truer or abler standard bearers tban Whitcomb and Bright thet are just the kind of men under whose banner the Democracy delight to rally, and in whose hands the interests of the people of this State will be safe. Aeir Albany Dem. Tliomns I Smith Esq. We, are pleased to perceive that several of the democratic papers of Üiis State have spoken favorably of I nomas L. Smith, ot iNew Albany for U. o. bena tor. Mr. Smith i3 a firm arid devoted democrat, a DOli&hed scholar and able Dolitical writer, lie is the author of the Democratic State Address" submitted to the people of Indiana by the two last State Conventions which assembled at Indianapolis. The people ot In diana may find among her sons those whom they prefer honoring first, but tbey could find no truer friend to their interest than MR. SMITH. Crawfordsville Review. Bask of St. Cuair. It was rumored in town yes terday, and there appears to be good grounds for the rumor, that all the books, paper and specie (!) which amounted to only about $1000, according to old Jesse's statement, belonging to the Bank of St. Clair, have been removed to her majesty's dominions 1 It appears that after it had been known an injunction had been procured, the books &C., Were packed up and taken across the river to prevent the law from taking its course, and the creditors of the bank from securing their rights. It seems to us that this is rather a high handed proceeding. This fag machine, not sat' isfied wfth swindling the' people out of some two hun dred thousand dollars, now attempts to place at defi a nee the law. This act of the managers of the bank satisfies us that the' bill filed against them contains charges that they fear will be sustained. " There is sonieting rotten in Denmark," depend upon It, or the manager would never have resorted to this measure, and we hope if there is any law by which the ' Regu lator"of üiis institution can be reached, it will be put in force.
