CtCfyl even a runaway horse with a cat i attached to him, thee dull times, has tsuCciei.t iiucrrt to cret up an excitement.

WIkiI news is it from Kentucky that is so inspiring to the Courier? Surely it cannot be that it hcp-s that Dr. L'ln, the Iocofoeo pro-slavery cuidi late for Congress, w ill be elected. Banner. Certainly, the news from Kentucky is, and the news from Virginia was, "inspiring to the Courier.'' We do not, however, in-!or.-e the notions cf the Democratic nominees in either of the States upon matters which relate exclusively to their State policy. We could, "if it were worth the candie,1' chow the Fanner editors that there n p.s much difference of opinion upon the slave question among the Whigs as there i.-j with the Democrats. Will the Banner, ! for instance, tell us how the President and Cacinet eiand upon the question of slavery? Will they explain the remark cf the 1 National Intelligencer, at out visiting with the "indignant fiowna" of the Paesident all who are detected in agitating the slave question? Will they tell us how many nepro slaves the President of the Whigs now own?? Will the Partner tell us ol a single nnti-flavery Whig candidate south of Main kr Dixon's Line for a teat in Congress? Nor is it "singularly etrane'' that Democrats, "if they be the free-foil men they protests to be," should ''take such a lively interest in the election of perpetual slavery men in Kentucky." In Kentucky, all the candidates for Congress are pro-slavery men, and why should not a Democrat in a free Sia'.e choose between Democratic and Whig candidates: The former is right on nil questions of national policy, if they are wrong on the question of slavery; while the latter are not right upon questions of national policy, and stand upon the same ground with the Democrats in Kentucky on questions of slavery. Hungary. The Hungarians in the city of New York have been making a movement for the purpose of inducing our government to recognize the independence of Hungry. The X. Y. Sun, in speaking of this movement, says : "Prof. Breisach has had co nmunication with the President and Cabinet, and the probabilities are in favor cf an immediate recognition. Xo act of the present administration could reflect so much honor upon this nation, or impart greater encouragement to the noble Hungarian people, now srtigjhng for their liberties against turn 0f x'ne mosl mPrc;iess c. es; f :s on earth.

(7- A correspondent cf the Cincinnati Atlas eays: "Republicanism in France has, I think, ceased to be; unless we are content to take the form for the substance. The Imperial Caesars in Rome were all elected Consult, according to the forms of the old republic; but no historian corrects the mistake of calling it a republic under Augustus, Xero, ot Tiberius. So France has a President, and may go on electing Presidents; but we must not mistake it for a republic on that account. The truth is, the revolution in France was brought about by a minority. That minority, however, with sound republican principles and mo

derate flents, would have succeeded. A republic, properly constituted, would have conciliated parties and been maintained by its own virtues. But the leaders of the democracy, with the clubs of Paris, threw themselves into the arm3 of Socialists, Communists, Fourrierits, Agratians, and every other sort of half ctazy sects; and, as a necessory consequence, drove from them the men of influence, property, and intelligence the lovers of order, peace, and law who could see in those wild schemes nothing but so much machinery created to overturn the usages of society. Ledru Rollin, Arago, the Sergeant of Infantry, and such like, became at last the men who were to succeed with a French Republic, when La Fayette, Guizot, Lamartine.and Barrot had failed! Their tragedy had much of the farce in it at last. And where are they? Just where their predecessors of 1794 were. Wnat can ever be hoped fiom such men and such measures? Tke Tomb of Washington. The proposition that Congress should purchase the Mount Vernon estate, so that the Tomb of Washington should be included ill the national ground, meets with general approval. Something of this kind should be done. Some years since it was proposed to remove the honored remains of the Father of his Country to Washington City, to a vault to be constructed inside the floor of the Rotunda. The Washington family very properly refused to allow the honored dust to be removed from Mount Vernon. A. correspondent of the Boston Atlas, who recently visited Mount Vernon, says: "We do not believe that any person ever visited this hallowed spot without going away with the conviction that the purchase of it should be made by Congress. Let the nation own it, and fit it up in a manner worthy of the Republic and of the illustrious dead, whose name is our richest inheritance,, and whose life was one uninterrupted flow of the highest and purest actions that ever marked the family of man. It is disreputable that it should longer remain in its present etate. If we had Mount Vernon in old Massachusetts if Washington had been her son, and his body laid within her mould how the spot would be treasured in our hearts, and beautified by our hands. The people of our Commonwealth would count it as their richest treasure, and our maidens would keey the tornb dressed with flowers of perennial freshness.'' We understand that the present proprietors of the estate would sell to Congress, but that no ptice could induce them to sell to a stranger. 07-The Captain and crew of the steamer Diadem attempted to keep out little Beauty the "Madison Belle" from her proper place at the wharf last night. The Beauty pouted, and "nursed her wrath to keep it" hot, for a little while just as long as ladies generally do. But when she did put oa the steam, the Diadem, wharf-boat, and wharf-master, were traveling out into the Ohio, as if they had been sent for and were in a hurry to go! War Steamer United States. The XT. Y. Journal of Commerce says there wiil probably be some difficulty in determining the ownership of this fine steamer. The Prussian Confederacy, which bouaht her, is gone, pirt 10 the King and pa; t elsewhere; and it is difficult to decide which owns her. The King will probably claim her, but the States which contributed largely and aie not itii him, will insist. The Ice Tr.u.e.

Respect to ths Amziica.t Flag is Rem. A letter of June 3d, from the Eternal City, after picturing the devotion, onion and heroism of the people, male and female, and their voluntary sacrifices to sustain themselves against the French siege, says: "With the exception of Mr. Casa, our charge d'aSairs, there is not a single diplomatic officer in Rome, the whole of that body still remaining at Gaeta. I am informed that Russian, English, German, and other foreigners, have implored Major Cass to take them under his protection. I know that ladies and gentlemen of the highest respectability have resorted to his hotel in great numbers, in hope of security. Among them are some of our compatriots. Not a few Roman families I understand, of distinction and nobility, have likewise joined in this requst. During the action of this morning, the stars and stripes, or rather a very bad imitation of them, were waving from the palaces Pinsiana, Falconer!, and one or two others. This is certainly a strange spectacle. That a power so far away, and of but yesterday's birth, comparatively, should be Invoked for protection in old Rome, the city of the Cssars, is a memorable mark of the mutations of time; andwhat is not less remarkable, presenting a forcible commentary on the weakness of the present Government, is the fact that application has been made to our charge for permission to suspend the American flag from two princely houses, in order to save their female inmates from violence and dishonor, the heads of which are actually members of the administration. Honor to the land of the free! "To us Americans this is a proud day. "Fortunately most of our countrymen took their departure at the first indication of hostilities. There are a few ladies remeining, among whom is the accomplished scholar, Miss Fuller; but I understand that they are well cared for every necessary precaution having been taken for their secu rity.''

The dangers of not writing plain. The New Bedford Mercury of Monday says: The Gold. Capt. floyer whoarrived hereaday or two since from San Francisco, via Philadelphia, was the bearer of a piece of pure told, weighing nine and a half ounces in its natural state, as taken from the mines, valued at about $180. It is crescent-shaped, about five inches in length, and evidently of volcanic origin. It was accompanied by a letter of questionable chirography, which gave rise to a report that the precious ore had been sent home by a runaway whaler, as a conciliatory offering to his ship-master, Capt. Gardner, of this port, and accordingly, after it had gratified the longing gaze of hundreds of our citizens, the gold and accompanying letter were sent to his house, and placed in the hands of his lady, the captain being still at sea. In a pains-taking perusal of the letter, Mrs. G. discovered that it was addressed to Mr. Edmund Gardiner, another valuable citizen, and after a farther public exhibition, both the letter and gold were transferred to their new-found destination, and the gold was again exhibited in a feeling of honest pride as a present to Mr. G. from an old and faithful servant, but who within the past twelve-month, wended his way to the new El Dorado, and had shared bountifully in its treasures report says, to the amount of more than $100,000. A more thorough decyphering of the almost untelligible letter, however, at length revealed the profound fact, that the gold had been sent, bona fide, from the faithful attache above alluded to; not, however, as a present to his old master, but in trust, to be transmitted by him to some place in the western part of the Empire State, for the use and behoof of certain relatives of the successful Californian, and it has been despatched accordingly. A jury censured by a judge. In the case of several members of the Philadelphia Engine Company, who made an outrageous attack upon the Western Hose, a short time since, as she was quietly passing the house of the former, the Jury at Philadelphia, on the 4th inst., actually brought in a verdict of "not guilty," but ordered the defendants to pay the costs. Th?B still greater outrage drew from Judge Parsons the following scathing address to the defendants : "You are, probably, as much surprised as the Court, at the verdict just rendered. It is without the slightest justification in the law or the evidence, and I doubt much whether twelve other men could be found in the city and county of Philadelphia who would have rendered such a verdict. In my experience upon the bench, I have i generally found the verdicts of juries to be cor- : rect. If they err, it is because there is something j in the evidence to raise a reasonable doubt; but i in this there was not a shadow upon which the j conscience could base a justification, or even an j excuse. Let me warn you, young men, not to let this verdict embolden you in crime. Should you again be brought to trial, yu cannot ex- , pect such another verdict. Though justice is . sometimes flow, she is always certain in her operations. Beware, then, how you again commit a like crTcnee against the peace of society and laws of the land." Elopement. The Cer.treville Md.) Times, of Saturday, 7th inst , has the following : A blooming Mis of sweet 1 C, with her ten thousand solid charms, was borne olF from parental duress, on Tuesday last, by a son of Crispin. A minister cf Cectreviiie made the unhappy twain one, before the parental authority could interfere to vfHe th" lover's plans

TO THE VOTERS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY. In the Daily Banner of the 11th inst. ia an article intimating that I had signed a petition to the Legislature of Indiana at its last session, asking the enactment of a law making it a penitentiary offence for any person to retail ardent spirits as a beverage. The editor says: "Since our article was written, we have conversed with a gentleman who is strongly impressed that he saw the signature at Indianapolis, on a paper transmitted to the Legislature. We never saw the paper and can no, therefore affirm anything of our own knowledge." At the time the above was published I was at Indianapolis, and thinking it might be intended to implicate me, I wrote a note to the Secretary of. State asking him to examine all the memorials and petitions from this (Jefferson) county, on the subject cf repealing the License laws, and making it a penitentiary of fence to retail ardent spirits. On the same day, the Secretary forwarded me the following certificate: State op Indiana: I, Charles H. Test, Secretary of State of the State of Indiana, do hereby certify that I have closely examined the memorials and petitions from Jrfferson county to the House of Representatives, at its last session, l4$-9, now on file in the State Library, and find three printed memorials from citizens of that county on the subject of repealing the Licenf lairs, and making it a penitentiary offence to retail ardent spirits as a beverage; the above mentioned three memorials are all the temperance memorials from Jefferson county; and that the name of Isaac II Taylor does not appear on either, and as there are no erasures, never was attached to either of them. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the State, l. s. at Indianapolis, this 13th day of July, A. D., 1849. CHARLES II. TEST. Secretary of State. On the 16th inst. I arrived at home, and imme

diately called on Mr. Jones, informing him that I had seen the communications above referred to, and asked him if they were intended charge me with signing them, and if so, who was his au thor who was so strongly impressed that he had seen the signature at Indianapolis. Mr. Jones remarked that the article was intended for me, and that Henry Jackman was his author. I pre sented him with the authority that I was innnocent. He remarked that he was satisfied that Mr. Jackman was wrong in his statement, and that he would correct it immediately, which he did in the Daily Banner of the 17th as follows: "That Petition. In the Banner of the 11th inst. we said that we had been informed that "one at least of the prominent democratic candidates" in this county had signed the petition to the Legislature relatlDg to the license laws and constituting the retail of spirituous liquors a penilentiary offence. Our allusion was to Mr. Isaac H. Taylor. Yesterday evening Mr. Taylor placed in our hands a certificate from Charles Test, Esq., Secretary of State, from which it appears that Mr. Taylor did not sign the petition referred to, and, in justice to him, we hasten to make this correction." As I shall not be able to visit all parts of the county previous to the election, I submit the above to the freemen of Jefferson county, and ask them whether I have been fairly dealt with by myopponent, (and that, too, while I was absent from the county,) and if I have not fully acquitted myself of the charge that Mr. Jackman has seen cause to publish, that he was ttrm.gly imjrrssid with the belief that he saw the signature at Indianapolis. Your obedient servant, Banner copy d&.wlt ISAAC H. TAYLOR. A sad sight. We saw at the Town Hall, this morning, two little boys, one ten the other eight years of age, named John and James Nocton. The younger of the two is an unusually intelligent, sprightly boy, and gives the following short history of his family, which is corroborated by persons living near the house from which they were ejected : The family occupied a house at the corner of Ninth and Walnut streets, owned by one Agen. Some four weeks since the father died of cholera; yesterday the mother was attacked, and by her friends carried to the hospital in a dying condition Last night, Agen went to the house and told these two little boys, the only remaining members of the family, to 'clear out, for he wanted his house.' He then packed up and carried off all the furniture, turned the children into the street, and locked the door. About twelve o'clock last night, Lieut. Cozzens heard of the transaction, and sent a policeman in search of the children. The officer found the little fellows crouched in a Inrge field belonging to Mr. Lucas, in the western part of the city, making a supper on a dry crust of bread which some neighbors had given them the only food they had eaten since the night before. When taken to the police office, Lieut. Cozzens ministered to their wants. Thd older of the two. seems to uossess a very sensitive nature, and weeps bitterly when talked to about the family.

"The Pope," says Nicholas, "is a good, bat a weak man; he allows himself to be shaken he lack faith! But, says a bishop, "he has acted in ac cordance with the spirit of the age, It ia the peo ple who have shaken him; God moves in the hearts of the people, and we must respect God and the people." I don't care, eaya old Nick, ia a rage, "the trouble in the West has all risen" from a want of faith! I shall take the matter in hand, and restore faith to Europe." We should like to know whether it is faith in God, or the Autocrat, that Nicholas means to restore. If it be faith in God, he will find it plenty and confident in Italy and Hungary; but if It be fatih ia I Nicholas," then he will find each a host cf unbelievers and infidels, as may well frighten him back to his more liberal bishops at St. Peteraburgh. N. Y. Sun. A delicate compliment. A love-sick young gentleman wrote to his "dear Adeline" thus: "How I wish, my dear Adeline, my engagements would permit me to leave town and go t see you ! It would be like visiting some old rcin hallowed by time, and fraught with, a thousandpleasing recollections'." Blockade of Ancona.

The number of emigrants arrived at New York, during the 94 days preceding the 4th of July, averaged 1063 a day, or 99,941 altogether. Passengers on the American ships crossing the ocean are much more healthy than those on the foreign vessels. This is owing to better sanatory regulations of the American owners and ofScers. The State Line Railroad, New York, is being surveyed, and there seems to be co doubt of its beicgbuilt.
