1UCILM0ND PALLADIUM.

1 'rid ay Morning: PuBLiCATiosr DAT Chaitgd . The Palladi- j urn will hereafter he issued on Thursday. ' Advertisements should be handed in early on Wednesday morning to ensure their prompt insertion. i Secrecy of the American Party. One would suppose from the "holy horror" manifested by our old line friends, and our soc nix neighbor in particular, that the friends of "Sam" were the first to venture upon the organization of a secret political society. Fail-' ing to raise any feeling in the public mind : ngainst the principles of the American party, they have resorted to unmeasured denunciations of the secrecy which is said to exist in it. Such is always the resort of the opponents of popular reforms. But what justice is there in this "honest indignation" of our Sag Nicht friends? Are their hands so clean that no marks of a similar crime can be found upon ! them? Who established the Tammany Socie- ' ty? It was as secret at "horrid oaths" could make it, and in its secret councils was established the late Democratic party, and from that day to this, a remnant of the old party may be found in New York. Were they traitors : to their country? Were the old fathers of democracy, who in secret concocted schemes by ; which a great party was built up, which has ! for the last forty years, to so great an extent controlled the measures and policy of this gov-; ernment, traitors? It may be true that these-1 crecy of the leaders of the party was the mostefficient means of success. For that success, the country may have had cause to regret its potency. The principles of the democratic party were published to the world, and discussed with an unanimity which Americans ' can alone discuss political questions. j About tlie close of the administration of Gen. Washington, his political and personal friends organized a secret party, and called it after the 'father of his country.' The Wash-.' ington Society advocated federal principles broadly and openly before the world, but the machinery of party operations was put in motion by secret conclave and "midnight meetings." Were the personal and political friends of Washington, traitors to their country ? The secret Tammany party was gotten up to counteract the operaiions of the Washington Society, and for many years they urged a most bitter warfare. The Tammany party was successful in the election of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. . The Democratic party is the father of secrecy in political matters. They claim to be the founders of the secret ballot in our popular elections, claiming that secresy was neeessary to maintain the independence of the voter that ho might secretly vote for whom his judgment might dictate, without the knowledge of others. We have said above that the secret Tamma ny party was gotten up to meet the secret efforts of the Washington Society, just as our Sag Nicht friends are now organizing all over the country a secret order to meet what they say is a secret society called Know Nothings, j or the American party. The principles of both parties are published to the world, and discussed by all the world. The advocacy of American principles by the Anvericans, is as free from secrecy as the sun at noon-day. They seek no disguise, and aTl this hue and cry about night meetings, is all flummery, and designed to prejudice the minds of the igno- ', rant. No respectable democrat will urge it before a sensible mau. It is used for the weak and foolish. I i However, our object is to expose the incon-: sisteney of our soc nix friends, rather than to defend the Know Nothings. We Know Sothing about their secrecy, but we have a confidence in American citizens that iuduces us to trust them as confidently at midnight as in open day. We would rather trust an Amer-' ican under the most trying circumstances, . than one who owes allegiance to a foreign , power, under the most favorable influences. The inherent principles of every American, j so far as his country is concerned, is honest and patriotic enthusiasm. The foreigner who leaves the dominions of the Pope, and assumes the name of American, does it with a lie in his heart, and ought not to be trusted when an opportunity may occur to establish the domination of the Church in this country. ! Manufacture cf Whisky in Ohio How it effects the Farmers of Indiana. At a Tern-, perance Convention held at Columbus, Ohio, ' on the 22d ult., it was "Resolved, That while we take decided ground in favor of the energetic and vigorous execution of our present law, we will, nevertheless, continue our exertions to procure the enactment of one thoroughly prohibitory, as to the manufacture and sale, involving the principle of search, seizure and confiscation." ; We are glad to perceive that our neighbors are fully aware that their present liquor law falls far short of being complete. Did its inefficiency, however, affect none but their own citizens, we should leave them alone in the contest. But such is not the case. Indiana has passed one of the most complete prohibitory Liquor Laws now extant, and her citirens desire to have bo part or lot in the accursed business. Our distilleries are winding up, and our farmers were flattering themselve. that they could dispose of their corn without any fears that it would be manufactured into whisky. But the agents of the Ohio distilleries ' are thronging our markets and buying up all the corn they can find, which, in a few hours' j time, is transported into our neighbor State to be manufactured into "liquid poison." Iadeed the conscientious farmer can hardly dispose of a bushel of corn, without feeling that, ! five chances to one, it will be consumed in this way. We have hundreds of farmers in our State who would not willingly contribute a bushel of corn for such a purpose, at any price; and it is no small source of inconvenience and annoyance to find ourselves thus situated, just as we were supposing our difficulties of this , sort were nearly at an and. Let the friends

of temperance in Ohio never rest till their law is perfect, "as to the manufacture and sale, search, seizure and confiscation."

Subscribe fer the Palladium for your Friends. Quite a number of our citizens have been in the habit of sending the Palladium to their friends in distant parts of the country. To those who have lived here tLere , r -TJ of our local paper each week throughout the year. It would be a token of remembrance of you to them, and appreciated for the local news it contains. A young lady, formerly of this county, but now residing among strangers in the "far west," writes us: "By the kindness of a friend I have received two or three numbers of the Palladium. I held quite a jubilee over them, reading every thing they contain quack medicine advertisements, all all, even the editorials! Send it to me regularly." We sincerely commisserate the lonesomeness which has driven our young friend to pertetrate so unheard of an event as reading the editorials! It must be a most starved and hungry appetite that could tolerate so dry and unpalatable a dish. This aside, we respectfully suggest to our citizens the propriety f sending the Palladium to distant friends. Two dollars could not be better invested. Try it. Cincinnati akd Chicago Rail Road. Ve are pleased to learn and it affords us pleasure to communicate the fact, that Messrs. Smith and Meredith have obtained a loan sufficient to enable their Company to complete the road from New Castle, to Logansport, at the earliest possible day. It is expected that the road will be put in operation during the coming fall. We hope the expectation may be realized, and know of no good reason why it may not be. Commissioners of the new State Bank. The Board of Commissioners created in the new Bank Bill, consisting of Messrs. J. T. Elliott, A. L. Roach, T. L. Smith. A. L. Osborn and J. D. Defrees. is now in session at Indianapolis. Their action will be looked to with considerable interest. "We shall see what we shall see." Sensible only by woful experience. The Editor of the 'Standard' of this c ity, has dropped the name of Isaac II. Julian as Corresponding Editor. The proof reader and ourself have been the only readers of that part of the Siandard for some time. Isaac had too much rope, and the consequence was he exhausted himself without doing the least good. Wait again Isaac till George takes snuff, then prepare to sneeze. Ft. Wayne Times. How cruel it is in the editor of the Fort Wayne Times thus to insinuate that Isaac's mental powers find vent through his nose. Since Isaac left the Standard, he writes the editorials of the Jeffersonian. We do not read them, -the proof-read r may. Americans Read. The following extrac is contained in the orders of the Pope of Rome, to Archbishop Hughes, of New York, who has jut returned from a Pilgrimage to the Holy Father, whither he went to report the progress of Catholicism in America. The command is "CRUSH OUT REPUBLI CANISM!" Read it Americans! The Pope eays: "If our Church is to live, it must be in America. Governments and Stales are tottering here. Every thing is uncertain. Another year and a revolution may have swcj't all away. My good Archbishop, I look to you for the fu ture. SPREAD ROMANISM IN AMERICA. CRUSH OUT REPUBLICANISM. The Church may bvfore a month Jlee to your shores." Thk Cholera in Kansas. On the -3d inst. the cholera, in its most deadly form, broke out in Westportand caused thirteen deaths in twenty-four hours. The persons attacked died within three hours after the disease came upon them. It is also stated that in Kansas city the effects are equally fated, and the people were leaving both cities, and taking refuge in the country. Up to the last accounts there had been no abatement of the disease. Restoration. The Alexandria, ( Va.) Gazette states that an old and respectable citizen of that place, a retired merchant, received a few days ago, in a letter from Boston, without signature, and nothing to show its source, a thousand dollar note of the Globe Bank of Boston, with the remark that the sender owed the money, and took that opportunity of returning it to the person to whom it belonged. Thk Camel Suir. The United States storeship Supply, which is fitting up at ihe Brooklyn Navy ard for a voyage to the Mediterranean, and to return to the United States with thirty camels for service on the Western plains, has been taken from the dry dock after being newly coppered, and will probably sail for her destination about the 20th inst. As prepared for the reception of these "Ships of the Desert" she presents a singular appearance. The planking ef the main deck has been removed, and a "truck," or kind of low house, has been constructed longitudinally along the deck to afford 1'ght and ventilation and space for the humps ot the auimals. Instead of cutting away the beams, the latter serve to divide the space into stalls. Eah animal is thus afforded a small window and every necessary comfort for his passage to the 'New World.' The New York Journal of Com m rce communicates the above important intelligence to its readers. It is one of the humbugs of the present administration. Each of these camels will cost the government, if they live to reach their destination, at least $5000. Another Arrest of Filiibuster. A telegraphic dispatch from Philadelphia, da'eJ May 15, says: "Col. Henry L. Kinney was arrested at New York last night, and brought on here this morning, and was held in $4,500 bail on a charge of violating tbelieuiraliiy laws in this district, by fitting out an expedition against Nicaragua. It is alleged that there is a vessel in this port ready for sea. with stores and aniunition, tfcc, on board, and would have sailed within in a few days with some three hundred men on board." I

-Tar and Feathers!" The Missourians j who destroyed the printing press, and threat-; ened to tar and feather the editor, Mr. Patterson, were induced to omit the latter, because his wue was with him. They were a tender hearted set. Why did they not tar her too? A hundred brave men could certainly have ,done it! What business had she to be the wife of a man, who dared speak the truth! ! Slander Suit. Judge Burfch, recently 'commence:! a suit a.'ainst Hon. Thomas H.

Benton, for slander. The case was tried in the Henry County (Mo ) Circuit Court, last Friday, the jury giving a verdict of 4.000 for the plaintiff. The case will probably be taken to the Supreme Court. Washington's Ordek no "For ;ery." We have frequently whi.iu a day or two past. ! seen a sta ement to the effect that Jared Sparks, ! the Biographer of Washington, denied lha! j the General had ever issued such a:i order as "Put none bat Americans on guard to-night." land the "old line" papers are making ihemselves merry over the detected forgery which the Know Nothings have so long hugged to ! their bosoms. The New Albany Ledger i having been unusually joyous over the discovery, and taunting iis neighbor, the Tribune, i therewith mo3t distressingly, the latter resorts i to its old trick of hunting up the documents, ;and absolutely proves, by reference to a genieral order, dated July 7ih, 1 775, at Cambridge Head Quarters, that Washington did actually isay, "For the future no mau shall be appointed to these stations (sentinels at the out-posts) who is not a native of his country." and the : order is made a standing one. So instead of I being merely and order for one night, it was for every night, and that far, in a better shape for the K. N.'s than the other. Journal j jtHon. Henry A. Wise, the Anti-Amer-. ican candidate for Governor of Virginia, grows ,more fierce and bitter in his denunciations of his opponents, as the day of election draws nigh. He was in Washington city last Wednesday the 9th inst. was serenaded, made a . t. r u-if i i . i. j i all of his opponents, and said he expected to be elected by 15,000 majority! He no doubt ! meant that he expected to be defeated by 15,i 0O0 majority. The 24th of this month will tell the tale. Election American Victories. The American ticket was elected in Providence, Rhode Island, on the 9th by a majority of 821, the whole seven aldermen, and 20 out of the 28 councilmen were chosen. In Mobile, Alabama, John A. Hitchcock, the American candidate for Probate Judge was chosen on the 7th over his Democratic competitor by eleven hundred majority. The Randolph C. Journal gives the following account of "Hill's Harrow, Roller and grain Planter," invented by a Mr. Daniel Hill of Harrisville, Randolph Co., in this j State. This machine has been used by many farmers in this county, and we learn that it has given universal satisfaction. It will seed all kinds of small grain, cither in drills or broad cast; seeding at the same time and in the most perfect manner timothy or clover seed ; if desired. It rolls the earth, thereby putting I it in order for the grain; distributes the sed ; as may be desired; thus saving a vast deal of 1 labor to man, and imposing no hard labor upon the team that draws it. We confidently believe it possesses merit that must commend it to every intelligent farmer. "The Indiana Stite Sentinel, leading Democratic paper in tho fsrate, declares it lias no respect for "Hon. D. R. Atchison, for regards him as a disgrace to the Democratic party." X-It is stated as a curious tact, that for 133 years past, the first bom of the house of Austria, has uniformly been a female. tjrThe Pope, in re'urn fr the splendid tiara of the vain. of ahou' 2 t 'OfMH.'-O reals (400.000 francs) recently presen'ed ' him by the Queen of Spain, has sent her M.ijesty the body of St. Felix the Martyr. This relic has just been brought to Spain by the Archbishop of Toledo, and hs been solemnly deposited in the chapel of the palace of Aranjuez. The Pope's return pre.-ent is considered a very economical one. The Fort Wayne T.mes says that Judge Borden was fined twenty dollars for his brutal assault upon a lirtle deputy clerk, while the Court wa in session, of which we gave an account from the Times last week. The Judge plead guilty, got a friend to go replevin bail, and "skooted." ; XiT It is stated by Washington correspon- i dents that the Cabinet stands five to two on the subject of sustaining Gov. Reeder's course in Kansas. The friends of Reeder are said to be Messrs. Marcy, Campbell, McClelland, Guthrie and Cushing- Opponents, Messrs. Davis and Dobbin. The President is understood to be as usual neutral. Singular. The Paw Paw Free Press mentions a singular occurrence which took place in that village last week Wednesday. That evening a cow belonging'to one of the citizens there, exhibited symptoms which led to the belief that she had been by a massassaga, ' (a small species of rattle snake.) and in order the more readily to doctor her, she was put into a barn which was occupied for stabling three horses. The next morning on entering the barn the cow was found dead, and the horse had all become blind and stiff. They were removed to the open air, and after being mov-, ed around and bled, recovered their sight. ' The barn is a very close one, and it is supposed the impure and poisoned atmosphere generated by the cow must have occasioned this state of things. The horses have since entirely recovered. j Jtt?On Wednesday afternoon last, a very sad occurrence took place, at Mr. Kittle's school, in the Public "School Building in this city. A young man by the name of W. II. Oxley, about 20 years pf age, son of Mr. Wm." Oxley, of this city, died very suddenly, under the following circumstances: The boys were having recess, and among others sports, young Oxley had been wrestling with , some of the boys, and had sat down on the , window sill to rest. Mr Kittle came into the hall and rang the bell to call them into school, ; and when Oxiey got up from from where he was sitting, fie took a few steps, staggered; and fell forward on his face. Mr. Kittle observing that he did not move after he fell, p-; proached and raised him up. when he saw, that l.e was very p!e and did not seem to , brt"he. lie was immediacy carried into a house close by. and Dr. Suliivan sent for. The Doctor arrived in three or f ur minutes, but he found that the young man was dead! ; It is said that in their sports, one of. the' large boys jumped upon the bark of the deceased, who. by making ursuasual exeru- ns. threw the boy clear over his heal, and in ! doing this it i suppose ! he ruptured one ofj the large blood vessels near the heart.

We surely think there is no gait which we need to improve so much as walking. None is so much used, and none wiil make a horse more valuable a: least, the generality of horses. All can be learned to vail- well, . while it is impossible to give many any other ' gait. It is true-. Some few, perhaps, might be very fast in some other gait; and in such a. case they would be more valuable to be trained in that. But a good walk will not hurt any gait, while it will much increase the usefulness of this domestic animal. Also, n premium for the best gaited horse those that might have more than one. Certainly a horse that can move a buggy at the rate of 3.2 J, in a square, noble trot then when moun:ed with saddle, moves off at the ' same speed in a nimral and e-y pace, must be more valuable than one possessing but one of these gaits, with the same speed. Having one of the above described steeds. I call for competition in this line. Will you'

give us a premium Yours, truly. A Citizen. WtMern fhriiiuu Aitvt-eitf-. Just at present, several of the Oi l Line pnpersin this State and Oiii. are calling this excellent paper a Know-Nothing shee;. and the "shameless apologist for the rowdies" that destroyed the ballot-boxes at the la:e Cincinnati election. Upon these misstatements thty are advising the "democratic" Methodists to stop their papers. For the benefit of those who do not read the Advocate, please publish these two short extracts: "We cannot endorse the Know-Nothing party, nor could we, not being a native of this country, become a member if we desired to." The following is the "shameless" apology of the Advocate, about the ballot-boxes: "There cannot be offered any apology for the destruction of the ballot-boxes in the Eleventh and Twelfth Wards. These aots were simply infamous; and the rowdies who perpetrated them deserve, and will receive, the execration of the community." The Advocate, because it has dared to speak against the extension of slavery, against Catholicism, and in favor of Temperance, all of which surely are legitimate subjects of discussion in a Protestant paper, a certain class of editors (?) heaps upon the old Irishman that edits it, their abuse, and reiterate the order of John L. Robinson to "stop his feed." Perhaps they may succeed, but, so far, not one (the editor says) has proscribed him. We do not think they will; for those who read the Advocate, know that the charges made against it are false and malicious. JUSTICE. Wayne county, Ind. From the Ohio State Journal. The Grand Council of Sns Nichts--Kich leveloineiits. The Grand Council of Sag Nichts, composed of Delegates from the various subordinate Lodges throughout the Slate, met again on Thursday morning, at Veiling's Hall on High street, at 10 o'clock, and after being called to order, the following officers answered to their names: Gen. Joel T. Wilson, of Seneca, President; Asa G. Dimmock. of Sandusky, Vice President; Shaffer, of Stark county. Secretary, and J. A. Marchand, of Wooster, Treasurer. S eiiff Miller, of this county, was appointed door-keeper, with strict orders from the President to admit none except those in possession o(the pass-word, (the country's safe,) and ti!e proper sin. (thumb through the top button-hole of the left lapped of the coat ) After the opening ceremouies wore gone through with in usual form. Gen. Wilson t-ub-rui'ted his report. lie stated tha' he had succceded in organizing 115 Lodges, and had visited every county in the Sta'e. H- poke of the great facilities that had been furnished him by the Postmaster's and Mail Agents, in the way of five tickets and liberal contributions: and complimented particularly the I". S Marshals and their deputies for their exertions in the cause. The report closed with fierce dcnuncia'ions of the Know Nothings, and recommended renewed ttiorts for their ex'ermination. Mr. Dimmock moved to accept the report of the President, and offered a lesolu ion of thanks which he enforced in a p.-ech of great eloquence. He spoke of Joel's sufferings on his travels; how he "had laid out on the river Tug, with nothing but the cold snow for his pillow, and the blue vault of heaven for his kivering" how the bright little stars twinkled as they saw Joel lying upon the cold, cold ground; and how mournfully the night wind sung Joel's (poor Joel's) lullaby. The delegates became completely overwhelmed at this mournful picture of what Joel suffered, and they passed Dimmock's resolution without a dissenting voice. After a short intermission, given for the purpose of recovering their feelings, the door keeper gave notice that two candidates were in waiting for initiation. On motii n of Mr. Shaffer, the candidates were admitted, and put through the usual forms of initiation, and the names of our old friends, George W. McCook, of Steubenville, and Ray Haddock, of Sandusky, were added to the Constitution. These gentlemen then took their seats, the two best looking men in the crowd. After appointing the committee, the President gave notice that the first thing in order would be the consideration of a preamble and resolutions sent up by the subordinate Lodges, requesting the Governor to call an extra session of the Legislature, aking a withdrawal in part of the present Democratic State tkket, and requesting the order to furnish funds sufficient to establish a new paper in Columbus, in place of the Ohio Statesman. Mr. Shaffer, of Stark, moved the adoption of these resolutions. A stormy discussion ensued. The necessity for some such action was urged by nearly ail the leading members of the body. The desperate condition of the Locofoco party was alluded to in the roost pathetic terms. An extra session bad been demanded by a!l the leading men in the State. The present State ticket would be beaten worse than it was last fall, if some of the candidates were not withdrawn, and the necessity of a State organ that conld have the confidence of its friends, at least, in a few of its statements, was strongly urged. As the President was about to put the question, Mt-Cook, (whose name is upon the State ticket, arose, and in his usual forcible manner denounced the whole proceedings. So fiercely did he pitch into Shaffer, that that intere sting individual hid his dirnini.-hed 1 old in shame. He lampooned the President, declared Dimmock a humbug, an d taking up his hat in a rage, left the hali. disgusted in the highest degree with the company into which he had fallen. At this unexpected termination of the deba'ethe creates! consterr.a'ir.n jvevailed. All business was forgotten; and a motion to adjourn sine die was put and carried, and the dVjegaic-s left the tali in the uunost confusion.

An Act ot Juct; e. We insert the following correspondence of the New Castle Courier, as an act of justice

to Caleb White. He has been the object of the most unrelenting persecution and slander, i Mr. White is extensively known as one of the wealthiest and most respectable citizens of eastern IuJuina, and the object of his persecutors seems to have been to give as wide a circulation to slanders as possible, and hence the necessity of this public refutation and explanation of the charges so industriously Circulated against him. We hav ki.ouru him for many years, and fully agree wiu, that public opinion which has universally awarded to him the reputation of a just a:i J upright man. Mr. Editor: At the present term of the Henry Circuit Court, two indictments were pending against Caleb White, a wealthy and respectable ckizen of this county, for high criminal offences. On Tuesday morning the Proseeu'.ing Anornev. as the respresenia.ive of the S a e, aked permisr-ioti of the Court to . Hon pros, the indictments; seating thnt they , "could not l-e sustained bv pn.f. aid ti would not be to the inuret of tht? comity to arraign ; him for trial." The court granted leave, and the defendant was discharged wtthrttt a trial, j Now the public, it seems to me. are inter-J eted in knowing who it is that sets on foot j such unfounded charges, as that patient pub-j lie pays the expense of sucli proceedings. ' Has some one used the nsme of the State as a j shield, and through malice got up th prosecution to vex and harass a respectable iiizeii, j and when lie rinds himself about to be expos- j ed before a jury of the county, backed out"? j Or has there been a combination of individu- i als for such mischievous purposes'? Individ- j uals who act thus, ought to be known, and j their conduct exposed. Will some ogewho! is familiar with the matter give the public a history of the transaction, and let it be known; . how it is that the law can be used for such purposes. ENQUIRER. ' Frum tho ew Casdo Courier- ; A Sel Defence. CHAPTER 1. To the Editor of the Courier: My attention was drawn to an article in the Courier of the 4th inst., signed "Enquirer," and to an editorial in the same, inviting attention to said article, in which my name is used in connection with two indictments in the Henry Circuit Court; and with the very summary man- ' ner in which they were dismissed by request of the Prosecuting Attorney, and permission of the Court. And uoticing, further, that an invitation is held forth to some person who may be in possession of the facts in the case, to give a history of the affair, in order that , the public may know why the cases were thus briefly disposed of. 1 design giving a brief, but truthful narration of the facts; and this 1 do. I - 1st. Because no person but myself is in possession of all the facts; aud, therefore I deem it very doubtful whether "Enquirer" and the public will ever be informed, except by myself; and 2d. I yield to the invitation, in order that the matter may be set in its true light before the public; that I may defend myself against calumny; that the perpetrators of the dark deeds in the case, may be brought to view, and that I may have an opportunity to defend myself and my character. And if, in the narrative, any thing should be stated relative to persons or things, not strictly true, I will, upon being informed thereof, take it back iu the same public manner. For more than three years I have been the object of much misrepresentation, abuse and slander. First, by one individual, then by a ctmbination of several; and afterwards, by a larger number. I have been persecuted and prosecuted, both in Church and State. I have been handed down as David was by Sul. My character has been slandered and libelled; and contumely, without measure, has been heaped upon me, and all originating trom malice. And so tar have my persecutors and prosecutors carried the matter, that as many as eight of them have laid themselves liable to surs for libel, and others for malicious prosecution. 1 give the following facts. An individual somewhat prominent in Church and Sta'e a mau of cunning, ability, ac iviry. and self-confidence, and possessing a propensity to govern and also to domin er, conceived an idea, that 1 diHere with him in judgment in a certain matter, in which his leelmgs were remarkably enlisted and (according to his subsequent admission.) in consequence of this diflerence of judgment.it appears that he came to the determination to endeavor to break me down, as the sequel will show, forgetting the broad American doctrine, "that no man shall be prosecuted or proscribed for his opinion." This same individual, shortly after, called upon an infirm old man, and queried of him if he had not paid some costs in a copartnership concern, which I should have paid. And here I will state, this circumstance thus queried after, was a matter that occurred nearly 14 years ago, and was made in the latter part of 1851, or fore part of '52. With regard to the fact of this inquiry being made, suffice to' say, I have written testimony, signed by an individual who was present and heard it. This same old man informed me since, that he replied to the inquiry, as follows: "That if he had paid any such costs, he supposed that be had papers in his possession which would show it;" and on examining his papers, he found some that he had filed away some eight years before, but not relative to the present subject in view. This is the beginning, out of which everything relating to the controversy just ended, had originated. Hence I hold the individual making this inquiry responsible for the whole difficulty, and subsequent facts fully go to prove that he purposely and wilfully stired up this strife from a srirt of malice and spite. The old man above alluded to, brought these papers to me, ! and said that he did not understand them, j and requested me to explain them. I did so ' in the presence of several persons, and to the: satisfaction of all present: but on account of some ambiguity in the papers, it was proposed and agreed that I should write a more specific copy, to be exchanged for the one in question, and which would effectually close the door against any future misunderstanding. This was in the year 1852, I wrote a paper accordingly, with a view of its being dated when the exclange was made, but in the new document, I inalver.an'Jy applied the date of the old one, whereas I should hive dated it for the lime of the exchange. Rrremberirsg that I l.ad thus dated thejaper, I btcirH3 dissatisfied, foreseeing that it was no! n-e.rding to our mutual agreement, and tha: it would not close the door of controversy or future difficulty bttw.en those who might be after us, I called upon my agent to whom I had handed the paper, and told him I was dissatisfied with it; he handed it to me, an 1 I corrected tre date. This I did and without this, the mutual agreement between us woulj not have been ratified. This al'er-&:i-n I bad a perfect right to make. It was siricdy ia accordance with our agreement;

the paper was my property, it was in the hands of in y agent. hen-e under ray direction ad eou'.rol. After the correction of date was nult1 my agent refused to carry the paper to the old man in question. I therefor-i sent it to him the next day by an other individual. ' This alteration of date I again state was, viz, to c! se the door against any future difficulty, and would have made us both safe in strict accordance with our mutual agreement; and the facts and papers in the case prove it and mv m st bit:er enemies will not even deny it. 1 did what I had a legal, and a moral right to do, and that from the best of motives. I

never designed tliat auv person should be ini -i x- " :: i jureu uiereov. -o person was injuivj wit myself, and that by a combination ot persons, who ra Kij utr-i."in a r-..VTt for frAllvL ; Forgery and Larceny; but the design to do me an injury, was anterior to the t.t-Mi rl lJaiUi. . place of this transaction of bona fide good faith, 0:1 my psrt, between mvsclf this infirm old man.

An able article in the last number of the Westminster Review, upon the Constitutions and Governments of the various countries of the earth, says that it "is no longer England but the AlirfA American Republic, that has become the polar-star to which, from all sides, the eve of strugsrlinonations turns." A significant admission to come from English source.

Arrival of the Steamer Illinois. Additional Irani California. New York, May 14. The steamer Illinois, with the mails and passengers from San Francisco, arrived here yesterday. She brings $ 1,1 15,000 in gold and TOO nnssenoera. T i , ,i , -. u . . The disa-ster to the steamer Golden Age is thus reported by the Purser. Mr. Hull, as fol-

lows: "On the 29th April, at 2 o'clock in ! A splendid farm of over 1600 acres, worth U, i i . ,1 loan of Caau, ie morning, toe Ooldeu Age struck a suuk- j0 do. en rock off the south-west en of the Island.! 1 do do!

after which she leaked so badly that it was found necessary to run her ashore, which was done on a smooth sandy beach." ! It is expected the steamer will be got on. j After a detention of two days, the passengers, j mails and gold were removed to the steamer John L. Stevens, and landed on the second of May at Panama, all safe. LuMriens in California was very dull, and money matters extremely tight, and several mercantile houses had failed. Seventeen ves- ; sels from the Atlantic ports had reached San ' Francisco within six days. The miners weie doing well, but owing to the .-carcity of coin very little dust reached the market, the mint had not resumed its ope rations. The rain had fallen steadily in the v .jillva for nuclis and in tho mmmlumi .alleys ior weeas, anu in me mountains snow had fallen to a great depth. The dull State of b. v l f it-j , USineeS in the leading towns bad induced lartMJ numbers of clerks and merchants to , . ,r, , T.

Advices from Oregon to the 7th April, say the Know Nothings Lad been successful in the municipal election The markets were very dull, and many of , l-,i;,- t ,1 l l j i , leading articles had largely declined. the Mess Pork was dull at 615 A New Oil Plant. The small tree, ( Custigliona l.bata,) known in Peru under the name of "Pinoncello," and cultivated about Surco, Huacho, and Larr.bageque, also growing wild in in considerable abundance in those regions, it has been ascertained, yields a valuable oil well adapted to the purposes xf illumination. Its beans like fruit or seeds, when roasted, have an agreeable flavor, preferable to that of the olive. When eaten raw the etherial oil generated between tlie .kernel and the outer skin is a strong cathartic, the effects of which can only be counteracted by drir.king cold water. It has been ascertained that the seeds will grow in Baltimore, and doubtless plantations of this tree might be formed in many parts of the South, from which vast quantities of oil might be produced, and thus add another link to the great chain of our national wealth. We understand that the Patent Office has taken measures to procure some of the seeds of this tree for trial ia the South and South -West. Nat. Intel. JtZfThe President has appointed Professor George P. Searburgh, of William and Mary' Col Jg, Virginia, a Judge in the n.w Court of C'a;ms, in place of Mr. Lumpkin of Georgia, who declined. There are a number of claimaits now here, and it is hoped the court will apeedily organise and promulgate their rules of practice, etc. It is generally thought that the proceedings will be as in other courts m cases in equity.
