Should all the Laws ron the Collect :os or Debts ke Suspended! Every proposition that interferes with old and settled law?, usages, or prejudices, is generally looked upon with suspicion; and it is not until after the merits of the proposition has been discussed that the people will consent to view it with anything like complacency. When the proposition to abolish imprisonment for debt was first made, the proposer was laughed at and lidiculed, and after the question was forced upon the public mind, the act was abolished. The proposal to abolish capital punishment is now being liscussed, and the initiatory steps have been taken in some of the States, by abolishing public executions. For the same reasons those States will abolish capital punishment hereafter. The proposition to give the creditor no right to recover at law from a debtor, has at last been "sorler"' half-way stated in some of our exchanges. The principle that all men (corporations included) do business upon is, strictly, the moral law. No person can obtain credit upon fair terms, no matter how good he jnay be, unless he is punctual. Good men, who are not paying men, do not stand very high with bankers. In the large cities, a failure to pay a note in bank at maturity destroys the credit of the maker of the note. The multiplicity of the laws regulating credit makes a resort to them the last rc 6 jurce of the creditor. We are not prepared to take the ground that all these laws should be repealed, though we are decidedly in favor of hearing the arguments, pro and con. A New Page. The extraordinary fact i3 presented to the people, says the Bedford (Pi.) Gazette, that while we have a Federal President, our Government is Democratic, and made f.o since the election of the President! This is certainly a novel feature in the history of our country, and will be set down os a new page. Such a thing nevrr occurred before, and the result must satisfy all conscientious men that Fay lors vh etion was achieved through Kami ct the uict degrading chiuuctti".

V- I V- , . . . . . . en man m the Executive Chair. y-It is said in Kentucky that Major Guuus was beaten m his late canvass by the Clay Whigs in his own District. From this it would appear that the "spoils hating'' Whig party is not exactly a unit in the Banner Whig State. It is also said that Mr. Clay applied by letter to General Taylor for the appointment of his son, and afterwards cot mad at the General for telling it. The "embodiment'' an cilice of Gen. Taylor for his son! ain't it! asking Kich, The Philadelphia Mint. The amount of California gold already received at the Mint, says the Pennsy lvanian, exceeds one million seven hundred thousand dollars. This, from a country which Mr. Webster declared "was not worth a dollar," is an cm .iatic contradiction of the assertion of the "-rov opponent of a just war. Saetain's Magazine. The September number of this popular monthly has been tent to us by mail, embellished as usual, and containing the usual varied interesting reading matter. The embellishments of this number are, in our opinion, very superior. The engraving of "Christ Weeping over Jerusalem" is unsurpassed by anv thing of the kind we have yet seen. The "Wilderness cf Sin" is only surpassed by the icilJcrncsx of sin displayed in the countenance of the smoker in the "Swamp Inn." Joe Howard has received his supply, and i ready to distribute to his customers. CCrWe regret to learn that PatricK Collin?, late Collector of the Port of Cincinnat, died on Tuesday morning, 26th inat., a;:er a angering ):ines?.

OrThe meeting of the friends of Hungary on Tuesday night, the 28th mst., at the Fifth Street Market House, Cincinnati, was attended by at least ten thousand persons. This immense concourse was organized by calling Judge Thomas M. Key to the Chair, and the appointment of E. M. Shields, John H. Gerard, Henry Eoedter, and N. C. Reed, Esqrs., as Vice-Presidents. Alexander Paddack and George S. Headley acted as Secretaries. Judge Key made an eloquent speech upon taking the Chair. We have not room for the string of spirited resolutions reported by George H. Pendleton. We, however, insert the 7th, 6th, 9th, and 10th lesolutions: 7. Resolved, That as the Tyrant of the North, the Czar of all the Russias, has announced his determination to crush liberty wherever it may rear its head, and is now gathering his trained instruments in countless hosts around devoted Hungary, preparing to conquer her people and bend again their necks to the yoke of Austria, it is our duty, as a powerful and free government, to notify the Court of St. Petersburgh that its iuterfeience in the affdirs of Hungary must cease, or the th United States will cast their strength on the side of justice and right, against tyranny and oppression. 8. Resolved. That there can exist no truce between liberty and tyranny. The contest between these two principles is th great war of the world, waged from the dawn of creation to our own time, so pregnant with hope for the future, and it can only end with th complete annihilation of oppression, and th full fruition of liberty. 9. Resolved, That it is the duty of our government, ahove all others, to recognize the independence of Hungary, and immediately to establish

diplomatic relations with her, our Sister Republic of the North; and we now call upon our servants at Washington to extend the hand ef fellowship to a nation so deserving to be free. 10. Revived, That in this, th Age of Progress and human liberty, the moss-grown customs of th past should and must give way to the generous impulses of the present, and freemen should not stand with folded arms and eee liberty crushed under the heel of despotism when so able to give aid out of their own abundance. "Peter Pjper Picked a Peck of Tickled TErrERs." Mr. Van Buren's letter, declining to attend the Barnburners Convention in New York, contains a specimen cf alliteration which, when applied to himself, is ludicrous enough. He won't attend, because he has ceased to participate personally in party politics.'" fjj-Those who enjoy a newspaper fight, says the Cincinnati Dispatch, are hugely tickled with the contest going on between the editors of two morning papers. The compliments of the day are ".-kulk" and "skunk." It is difficult to decide which to admire, the ivran-aceous repast of the one, or the Cjirtiss-v of the other. 0A packet plies regularly now between the Falls of St. Anthony and the Falls of St Croix, on the Upper Mississippi. CT-Henry Shelton Sandford, of Connecticut, has been appointed by the President to be Secretary of the Legation of the U. States at Paris. Spies from Cuba. A New York letter, of Tuesday evening, to the Philadelphia Inquirer, says: "It has just been discovered that one of the most perfect systems of espoinage ever adopted, has been established in this country recently by the Governor General of Cuba. It seems that he has his agents and spies in every city on the Atlantic coast, for the purpose of eaves-dropping, and hearing the sentiments of th numerous Cubans who usually visit th United States, and spend a portion of th summer here. I could name a hotel in which are three of these gentlemen. It is further said, that several young Spaniards, who incautiously divulged their real sentiments concerning the political condition of Cuba, and expressed a wish that the island should be annexed to the United States, have been warned by their relatives and friends not to return, for punishment awaited them as soon as they landed. It is to be hoped that those fellows will be discovered and driven out of the city. They need only to be known to the proprietors of hotels where they stop, to be served with marching or' ders. I think it probable that I will have more to say on the subject in a subsequent letter. Naval Movement. Demand for Rey. The Pensacoia Gazette of August 15, says: "Commodore Parker went to sea on the J5th inst, with the frigate Raritan and the sloop Sarato-a, Capt. Nicholson, bound to the North. We understand that Commodore Farker has orders to stop at Havana and demand the great abducted Rey." O The Pennsylvanian of the 2lst says: " The mass meeting held in Independence Square last evening in favor of Freedom in Hungary, was one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever assembled within the precincts of that time honored spot, upon which stands the edi fice where American Independence was first pro- ! claaraed to thia happy and prosperous cation." !

The Official Foisoxer. la th oldea times cf Italian diplomacy and intrigue, to be skilled in the history and in the application of poisons, in all their infinite varieties, was regarded as a rare accomplishment, The consequence was that 6udden deaths became matters of common occurrence; and so expert was the enemy , that death, was frequently inhaled from a flower or conveyed by the touch of a glove. The present Regency at Washington have improved upon the Italian idea. In order to justify their indiscriminate proscription of their opponents, in order to excuse their violation of the pledges of General Taylor they have adopted the plan of poisoning the public ear by the circulation of the most slanderous calumnies against every Democrat in office these calumnies being so artfully compounded, and so insiduous'.y circulated, that ere the unsuspecting officer has time to ward off the blow aimed at his reputation, he is summarily removed sent out before his country branded with infamy an official stigma stamped upon his name, which he may or may not succeed in removing. The hired poisoner of the Regency is the Washington Republic. We have already seen its slanders ogainst Messrs. Weller, Collins, and others, published just enough time before the axe fell, in order to give an aspect of necessity to the decapitation. Th case of Mr. Collins was peculiar. While stricken with the cholera, mourning upon a sick bed the death of a cherished member of his household, the subtle calumny was published 8gainst him at a distanca, even before he dreamed of it. Col. Weller is Btruck at while thousands of miles distant, and though bravely defended by his friends, is whistled off like a common felon. Doubtless some official argument will applaud and justify the removal of the gallant Gen. Lane, Governor of Oregon. Mr. Clifford, our Minister in Mexico, is evidently to be removed, from the manner in which he is assailed by a pensioned and pandering press. And doubtless, it is intended to make ihe system general in its application. Is it any wonder that on administration guilty of these infamous practices should be repudiated by the people before it has been six months in existence? Phila. Pennsylvanian. Society in California. A letter from San Francisco to the Boston Courier thus describes the state of society: "Since my arrival I have seen a lieutenant of the navy, and a New York merchant, dragging a hand cart, at an ounce per load; a few days since I met a professor in one of your first colleges driving his ox team, hauling emigrants' 'traps' to the 'diggings,' at $20 for on hundred pounds. A Georgia planter cooks my salt pork, and does the flap-jacks brown; a printer from the Picayune office keeps my books, and two young gentlemen from jobbing houses in Pearl street take care of the mules, haul lumber, and act as porters in th store, each at from $10 .o $16 per day, with board. In Cilifornia all labor, and one

is daily furnished with innumerable sources of amusement by meeting old friends in such comical employment. Imagine our friend the artist, with buckskin trousers, red flannel shirt, and California hat, peddling newspapers: "Sun, Herald and Tribune, sir! latest dates from New York only two dollars each. A Fair Hit at the Bank Law. We find the following fair hit at the present banking laws of Ohio, in the Ohio Patriot. We commend it to the attention of those in favor of equal and just laws. No Crop No Taxes. According to the present banking laws of Ohio, says the Ohio Patriot, if the Banks make nothing during the year, they are exempted from taxation or, in other words, the law provides that they 6hall pay six per cent, on their dividends after deducting losses and expenses. If this is just in regard to Bankers, why snould it not be equally just in regard to Farmers? The present year, in many parts of the State, the Wheat crop has fallen far short of an average; and in some sections, it is an entire failure. The Wheat grower has not only made no dividend, but has absolutely lost his whole year's labor. Yet the Whig law-makers pretending to be the friends of equal taxation, require the Farmer to pay whether he makes or loses, but totally exempt the Banker unless he has been successful in his operations.' This may be Whig justice, but it certainly has no affinity to the genuine article of that name. The Democratic Party Dissolved in Indiana. The Indiana State Journal has an article headed the "Dissolution of the Democratic Party" on ita second page and on the third page it has the I fu! returns of the late election, showing clearly that the whig party would have elected a governor and lieutenant-governor, if they had obtained 11,000 more votes, and that they would have had th whole delegation in Congress if they had only succeeded in electing ra'.e more; ana but for the lack of twenty or thirty members, they would have had both branches of the legislature! The democratic party was not dissolved quit! soon enough! Louisville Democrat. X!7 A traveller on the Eastern railroad yesterday, had his leg broken by imprudently putting it between two cars. The 'snap' was distinctly heard by the passengers around, yet, to the surprise of 6ome, the man walked into the ferry boat with the aid cf a cane. He obstinately refused to have a surgeon, who was in the cars, sxamine his injured limb, asserting as a reason that no professional man could do it anv good, it teas mads cf tehite ath:

From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. J THE INDEPENDENT TREASURY. The Washington Republic has an article or two every day , about the apprehended loss of $1 55,000 of Government money, by Mr. Denby, U. S. Agent at Marsaiiiea, in consequence of the failure of Mr. Osborne, of Richmond, Va. We are quite willing that every such defalcation should be exposed in all its deformity, and the blame made to rest where it belongs. Blame there must be perhaps in more places than one. Let the lash be applied, and the law enforced against the sureties of the delinquent. And if fraud or villainy can be proved against any of the parties, let them suffer as they deserve. So far, we respond to the sentiments of the Republic. But when it seeks, on 6o narrow a basis, to build an argument against the Sub-Treasury, it fails of its object entirely. We know of no way by which money can be drawn from the Treasury and applied to public objects, without being passed through somebody's hands- In this respect, the Sub-Treasury system does not ditfer from that which preceded it. It may be better guarded, or it may not. One or two losses have occurred since it went into operation, through the unfaithfulness or misapplied confidence of agents, and many occurred before, from the same causeHere then is no ground for boasting on either side Under any system, receiving and disbursing officers must be employed, and under any system some of them may prove dishonest or incompetent. Underany system the sureties maj be found insufficient, &c. But this is no good reason why the public money should not be guarded from loss in other ways. The great sources of loss, under the old system, were the depreciation of bank notes and the failure of banks. These are entirely obviated under the Sub-Treasury system. The extent of the public loss from these sources, will be seen by the following statement, derived from a report of Judge Woodbury, then Secretary of the Treasury, to the U. S. Senate, in compliance with a resolution of that body, on the 11th of February, 1841 : Loss estimated by the Treasury Department on the depreciation of Bank notes received prior to 1837, - - $5,500,000 Loss appearing on the books of the Treasury by Banks as depositories, prior to 1837, 900,000 Loss estimated by using Banks as depositories since 1837, 100,000 Loss estimated on Bank notes taken, and not redeemed prior to 1837, - 80,000 Loss estimated on Bank notes taken, and not redeemed since 1837, - - 40,000

Aggregate, - $6,620,000 Computed interest on same to 1541, 8,872,000 Total loss to the people by the use of Banks and Bank notes for Government purposes, ----- $15,192,000 Now we submit that in order to make good its argument from experience, against the Sub-Treasury system, the Republic should exhibit losses under it, bearing some sort of proportion to the above, taking into view the length of time during which that system has been in operation, and the amount of money collected disbursed. At least, it should show a loss of one dollar, or one cent, by any of those features of the Sub-Treasury system which distinguishes it from other systems. If the Republic cannot do this, it may as weli hang up its fiddle. Interesting Movement in the Heavens A correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce says that the largest opening of the ring of Saturn will be visible by the telescope during the coming nig;. ts, which fdet will not again occur till 1856. Saturn is now to be found in the laces of the Fishes in the Zodiac. Another proclamation from Gen. Riley appears in the Alta California, dated June 22d. It says: "Instructions from Washington, received by steamer Panama, since the issuing of a previous proclamation, confirms the views there set forth : namely, that the plan of establishing an independent government in California cannot be sanctioned, no matter from what source it may come."

During an interesting debate on Hungarian affairs, in the British House of Commons, Mr. Osborne, after applying various eulogistic epithets to Kossuth, closed by designating him the Washington of his country. This single sentence embodied all that was great in human character. A gentleman looking upon an extensiveconflagration, expressed his surprise in three words, each the name of an English author "Dickens, Howitt, Burns." The name of the Hungarian Secretary of War is Korponay. His brother was recently professor of Cavalry tactics at West Point. 0The most satisfactory evidence of a man' insanity, is to hear of his breaking into a lawyer's office for plunder.
