STUPENDOUS FRAUD.

We have the following facts from an
unquestionable source:
Within the last week, gentleman
called at the Bank of the United States
with upwards Of $4,000 in notes and
drafts of the old bank and branches,
among which were only about $40 in
notes of the new bank.
Upon adjusting various accounts; there
remained balance of over $4,000 due to
him, in payment of which he was tender
ed notes Of The old bank. He declined re-
ceiving them, and demanded notes Of the
new bank. THEY WERE REFUSED.
He finally adjusted his balance by trars-
fering it to the credit ola New York bank.
While settling his account, he sao the
officers Of the bank paying out the notes Of
the old bank at The counter.
1t hence appears that tho bank issues
notes which it refuses to pay altogether.
1t refuses to pay them in specie. 1t re-
fuses to pay them in its own notes. Mr..
Biddle's bank has no more right to issue
them, than any individual into whose
hands they might have been put for safe
keeping. II is fragrant violation of the
old charter, which requires the afEs.iss, of
the corporation it created, to be wound up
in two years from the expiration of its
term. An individual who should do it,
would be lialle to indictment and punish
ment for swindIing.
Is not every officer Of the new bank,
who has an agency in their issue, liable
to a like penaIty2
They give out paper which they
KNOW the bank has no intention to
pay?

FEDERAL FALsEHooDs.

The federal papers seems to vie with
each other in manufacturing falsehoods
10 impose upon the people. "Col. R.
M. Johnson has avowed himself an advo-
cate of the establishment of new Ma
tional Bank, ,"--cries a whig editor; and
thus put in motion it goes the round Of all
the presses in the keeping of the Bank.
The Ed. of the Kentucky Gazette wrote
to Col. Johnson, and the following is
his reply.
:" White Sulpher Fountain, Scott Co.

MR.. WHTTLEsEY's LETTER.

In the last Star, is published a letter
from Mr.. E. Whittlesey Of Trumbull Co.,
relative to the bill passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress, designating and limiting
the funds receivable for the revenues OF
the United S!ates," together with a copy
Of the bill. What does this all amount
to? what does it prove2 Although such a
bill may have passed Congress, i. never
became q law. We do not see the object
Of this communication of the Hon. Gen.
tleman--we had never heard, before, that
any one denied that such bill did pass,
and we do not know what bearing the fact,
whether il didrpass or not can have upon
any question now before the people, so
long as It never constitutionally became a
law. Would the Hon, Gentleman attempt
to convince the people Of Portage County
(for whose welfare he seems to feel much
concerned) that such a law now exists?
We cannot think for what else his COM
munication is made, Ifthat is his object,
we will merely give an extract from the
7th section of the Cont sutton, that text
book to which we love to refer--the poll
tical bible upon which we have fixed our
faith and which is always in the way Of
those who attempt to blind ana misload the
people.

WHIG CONVENTION.

Much is said of the Wing State Con-
vention held at Columbus on the 4th inst
The Editor of the Ohio Star, who was
present, says it was one of the best con-
ventions he ever attended. Don't doubt
it-might be SO, and, :" no great scratch
after ALL" But the doings Of this "best
Convention" They appointed Presi-
dent-a host of little Prcsidents-a num-
ber of Secretaries, as is common on such
occasions. A committee of fourteen was
appointed to "report such measures as
may be proper for the action Of this
Convention in reference to the public
affairs of this State,' at the head Of
which stood Lawyer Hammond, Of C:n-
cinnati. A Committee Of thirteen was
appointed to report resolutions express
i've of the sense of the meeting in refer
erence to our national affairs, at the head
of which stood Lawyer Galley Of Cincin-
natl, and way down most to the bottom
stood Mr.. Dewey of Ravenna. This
last committee was one of great impor-
tance. 1t had in charge the whole of
the public affairs of the nation. This
comnlitte of l3 used up the Government
in the real meat axe style. 1t talked all
about credit and the currency Kicked
the old I. Gineral" into oblivion-and said
all kinds Of hard things about Van Buren,
usurpation and executive abuse. But the
worst thing they said about the Democrats
was that, "already they, (the Democrats)
have disposed of the Presidency to one of
themselves. Oh! Horrible that the
Democrats should take their own and not
ask the Wings to share it with them, or
even say by your leave." And itseems
that these " Silk Stocking" gentry are
taking pattern after the +" oderiferous Dem
ocrats," by recommending national Con-
vention at Pittsburgh. Yes, after they
have said so much against National Con-
ventions, the Simon Pures recommend one
themselves.
AS to the number present at the Con-
vention we cannot say-there are SO many
contradictory reports about it, that it is
difficult to determine. Some say, 1000,
some 5000, and the Editor of the Ohio
Statesman, says: "There were but CTS
passed the gate through which the pro-
cession entered after forming at the The
atre, including boys, few females. and
is or 20 corlored people. We counted
the achcle Of them, knowing that the wings
would tell all sorts of falsehoods about it"
But no matter how many there were. We
don't think that Van Buren will be "par-
ticularly exfuncticated" this time.

notes Of the Bank Of the Metropolis-at a

us for the loss in exchange by doing good

This being our pay day--as is every
Saturday, rain or shin6--we are forcibly
reminded Of the following questions, pro-
pounded to us few days ago by the Bal
timore Gazette:
"The editors of the Globe, like our:
selves, have occasion, weekly, to pay
some dozen or more of workmen their
wages, which, to be useful to them and
their families, must be of a description
that will enable them TO make variety Of
small purchases. We find it not merely
inconvenient, or is it practicable, here to
obtain any kind of currency of denomina-
tions less than five dollars, without pur-
chasing silver coin at premium of fif-
teen per cent How is this matter ar
ranged by the editors Of the Globe2--
What kind of currency do they find it
convenient to obtain to be used for this
necessary objecta
I'VE ask these questions with rea-
sonable expectation of obtaining informa-
ton which viii be personally useful to us,

From the Cleveland Advertiser.

Our neighbor over the river is so pan
icized, that he doubts the evidence of his
own senses. Notwithstanding he IS with
in ear shot of the almost perpetual whiz-
zing of steam from the boats, and the
shouting Of seamen as they take in and dis
charge their cargoes of the lake craft,
and in sight of their ever moving panora-
ma of Lake navigation. he still sticks to
Solitude's text about the "desert waste;'
in his opinion the enterprising whig ship
owners are crowding on their new ves-
sells merely for the purpose of making
"much ado about Notwithstanding
empty up and down the Lake just for the
fun of the thing, and running themselves
to spite Mr.. Ewing, and disgrace him as
prophet, when they ought to shut up
shop, tie up their boats, and sow grass
seed in the streets, that he might receive
the honor due a prophet in his own coun-
try.
Our neighbor says, thousands at the
east are "tpu!ling up stakes,' and remov-
ing to the west, because they have moth
ing to do, and not few of them stop at
Toledo and Detroit; but what has this to
do with the commerce of Lake Erie?'--
Precisely as much, neighbor, as it ever
had to do with tiff hard times induce
emigration, how happens it in good times?
But how do the other Lake craft, not car
rying passengers, contrive, not only to
keep busy, but increase and multiply ex-
ceedingly? answer us that. Lest our
friend should be puzzled to answer, we
subjoin the following item about other mat
ters than passengers from the Toledo
Blade Of the 4th inst.
The LOCOMOTIVE. The locomotive
engine is now in full operation on the
railroad from Toledo to Adrian. Its ce-
lerity has NOT been fully tested, but it is
ascerhined that it can move at rate ex-
ceeding 20 miles an hour. 1t now con-
sumes about two hours and a half in per-
forming the distance, which is abundanty
fast with train of passenger and burden
cars attached. AT present it makes a
trip and half In "a hours, departing
twice from Toledo on one day, and once
the next. Despatch being SO important
in the transportation Of merchandise, it is
to be regretted that the present number Of
burden cars is still inadequate to do the
amount of business with the requisite ex-
pedition. An additional supply, howey-
or, is in preparation, and will probably be
on hand in the course Of fortnight, if
no unexpected delay takes place in the re-
ceipt of the wheels which have been or
dered from a distance.
