his personal appearance and manner of
speaking are concerned, was truly delight
cd. But the matter Of his speech iu many
particulars, was an insult 10 the intelligent
audience who listened to him, and highly
derogatlve to an aspirant to the Execu-
tive Chair Of the Nation. Time will not
allow general notice Of his performance,
which was vulnerable in so many points !;

ers to the opening of his address, in which
he INCREASINGLY alleged that the present pc.
cuniary embarrassment was charged among
other causes to "orer production" Hav-
ing reared this man of straw, he cssaycd
its demolition by pompousy proclaiming
that in the course of his tour through the
country, he has seen no evidence that peo.
pie have more "wheat, beef and pork than
they wanted" Most astonishing discove.
ry I! Verify n "Daniel has come to iudg.
ment." Who, let me ask, has complained
of over production as the cause of our Pc
cuniary difficulties Nobody. A lack of
production has been truly cited as one, and
a principal cause Of the late and present
pressure though it suited the purpose OF
the orator 10 use 'over" instead of under
production yesterday. Such disngenuous.
ness in little men is disgusting, but in great
ones most contemplate.
His tautology on the subject Of an "er-
clusiUely" metallic currency, betrayed any
thing but an anxious desire to enligh,en the
people by the abduction of arguments bas-
ed upon facts. This was another man of
straw, in whose destruction the gentleman
seemed to take vast delight. But the re-
f1ecting man will ask, "Did the late admin.
istration seek or propose TO establish an
exclusive metallic currency?" No man
can ,ciM truth answer the question AFFIRM
atpely. What then becomes Of M. Web
s,cr's remarks on this subject? They have
not the rcmotest relation 10 the measures
which he professed to be examining. 1t
was lame attempt to blind the eyes of the
people TO the true question at issue. But |
must refrain from further animadversion at

frightened by this specimen of his sophis.

The way they punish steamboat murderers
in England.-The Coroner and Jury who
have inquired into the bursting of the steam
boiler of the Union steamer, at Hull, have
rendered verdict of manslaughter against
the Engineer. The Coroner and the Fore
man of the jury also waited on the Mayor
of Hull, at the Mansion House, when the
Coroner, addressing the chief magistrate,
said, "Sir, we come for the purpose of pre-.
scnting requistion, emanating from my.
SELF as coroner, and the jury. The object
of this requisition is to request you to call
meeting of the inhabitants, to take into
consideration the strong necessity of peti.
tioning Parliament to protect tho public,
as far as possible, from a recurrence
of events so awful. 1t was the opinion
of the jury and my own, that legislative
interference is loudly called for; for, if
it be needful 10 license pilots and regulate
stage coaches, it appears TO us that it is still
more necessary TO be assured, by similar
means, Of the proper qualification of tho
parties having the management and con.
troll of so powerful, and in this instance, so
devastating an engine, and am sure your
consent will not for moment be withheld
on a subject so important" And in
the same excellent spirit, the Mayor ex.
pressed his perfect concurrence in the OBJ.
ject of the rcquisition, and appointed day
for the proposed meeting.

THE ELECTION.

We are constantly in receipt of the most cheer

from all parts of the state, with regard to the
coming election for member of Congress. St.
Joseph County will be found purely Democratic.
Our friends of White Pigeon and Bucks town.
ship are wide awake, as will be seen by letters
published in to-day's paper, which we have receiv-
ed from those towns. Sherman township will
give heavy majority for Mr.. Crary. In Nota-
way, Leonidas, Colon, Mottville, Florence and
Flowerfeld, the Democrats are up and doing
The Wings are making powerful effort for
their candidates, but it will not do--Democracy
must and will triumph, and Federalism is DOOM
ed. Let the Democrats turn out and GENER-
AL CRARY will have majority of five to one.
In Cass county all will be well-they have some
of the real simon pure Democrats in that County,
and they are up and doing. In Branch County,
Gen. Crazy will get nearly all the votes. In
Kalamazoo the Wings are making powerful ef-
fort, but it is all in van--the Democrats will use
them up entirely. In Berren County the Wings
are making great noise, but it will be "great
cry and little oooI" Mr.. Crary's majority will
be immense there, notwithstanding all their ef-
forts. From Monroe County we have the fol-
lowing cheering news, taken from the Monroe
Times, which speaks for itself:

TO damages on a bill drawn on the French

onab.o purposes required it, it might by
some other prctext equally sound, Withheld
the whole funds ofthe q Government. Such
ware the consequences of entrusting the
funds and confiding an important branch
Of the public revenue TO an irresponsible
corporation. This great crisis, and the inn
minent peril which attended il, occurred in
time of profound peace and unusual pros
pcrity. What might not the monied pow
CIR have effected in time of war, or civil
commotionl This question is answered
by Mr.. Jellcrson--"il might have upset the

the danger Of such an institution, and es-
pecially from the connection of the Gov

capped ruin. Stall we forget that furious

whilst the traces OF its desolation are every

Let not the conflict with the moneycd pow.

fercnt struggle and must ever form an i'm
portant era in tine political history of the
country.
But Notwithstanding these indsputable
facts, Congress will be called on, by nu-
merous memorials, to establish National
Bank. Will it give favorable response
to this call from the bankrupt merchants,
brokers, brokers and spectators of the
country? Will the Representatives Of the
people, mistake the insolent and frothy
clamours of few interested classes, for the
voice Of the people? Can they forget the
repeated decisions Of the majority on this
question? or will they discover any thing
in recent events which is calculated to
change those determinations All these
questions carry their own answers. ], for
one, cannot believe it possible that the rep.
resentatves of the people, can by any in.
trigue, management or corruption, if thai
may be supposed, be induced to incorporate
a National Bank at this time, whilst thu

therefore, thatt this exploded financial scheme
will not be revived that just and sacred
regard to the liberties of the country, an(
the purity of its free institutions, with higl
minded and patriotic Legislators, will out
weigh all the boosted advantages Of Ma

as mere dust upon the balahce. What
have to say regarding another fnancio

FOREIGN EMIGRANTS.

The following is an extract from the
communication of the new Wing Mayor
of the city Of New York to the Common
Council, dated June 9Th, 1887:
"By chap. So, sec. 16, of the laws and
ordinances Of the city of New. York, it is
enacted that in all cases where the mayor
snail deem it expedient to commute for
alien passengers arriving at this port, in.
stead of requiring indemnity bonds he is
authorised to receive such sum, in lieu OF
such bonds, as he shall deem adequate, not
less than ONE dollar, nor more than TEN
dollars for each passenger.
81 deem it my duty to inform the Com.
mon Council, that il is my intention hercaf
ter, in all cases wtcre IL wouid not be IN.
reasonable, TO require and demand TEN DOL.
LARS for such conmutaiion from each alien
passenger.
In another part of his communication,
after having bestowed plentiful abuse upon
thu poor alien for daring to seek in this as.
syum of liberty--this land of plenty--a
respite from want and oppression, he con.
tinues
al cannot dolbt that all our citizens,
both native and those we have adopted,
must abhor to see this blood-bought land
OF liberty and hope forcibly made the COM
mon resort and finally tho general resi-.
dencc, Of the drones, lazzaroni, conspira.
tors, agrarians, revolutionary incendiaries
and fugitives from Justice from various
parts of the old word"

The shin plaster party allege that the

have been the means of bringing an undue
amount of specie into the country, and they
haves the audacity at the same time, to
charge the administration with having by
It's measures, caused the suspention of spe-
Gle payments by the banks, and the intro.
duction of shin plasters into circulation in
place of gold and silver. They might as
well assert that the introduction oftoo large
quantity of provisions into the country
would produce state of starvation. 1t
must be perfectly manifest to every mind
that the introduction of a large amount Of
specie into the country, can never be the
means of introducing shin plasters into cir.
culation, and consequently that the allega-
tons of the shin plaster party on the SUBJ
ject are not only untrue, but perfectly ridc-
ulous.-Bah. Republican.

A pretty string Of epithets to be applied
iudscriminatcly to all alien passengers;
for in his whole address not one word is
said in favor Of the prudent, the honest and
the respectable poor men who every body
knows compose large class OF alien emf
grants. But these persons must remain
on ship-board until they can pay to these
city authorities ten dollars head for the
privilege of landing, that they may seek
their friends in the country, and find them
selves honest employment. But the may.
or, as mayors sometimes will do in spite
Of every caution, rather showed the cloven
foot, when he said in the same address:
sand if foreign panpers and Migrants
come here for political purposes, tits proof
irresistible that our naturalization laws
ought to be Immediately revised, and the
term Of residence greatly extended 10 quail
ify them to cote or hold Office"
This is and always has been the wing
doctrine. Their language to the alien is

this country, if You will so to work and

will work hard every day and just mind
your business, perform your task under

american Houses in England.--This
TERMS not generally understood. Mercan.
tile establishments trading to the East In.
dies, are called "East India Houses" to the
West Indies, "Wcst India Houses, "and to
America, "American Houses" The
house of Wilson q Co. we are told, has
not an American in it, and yet large por.
ton of the cotton business is done by that
house, and is called one of the "American
Houses" Ofthe many partners in the va.
rious prominent firms trading 10 America,
we believe there are but three or four indi.
viduals who were born in the United States,
Messrs. Bates, Virgins, and one or two
others-and yet they are called American
houses.
Much has been said by some of the pa.
pers as to the kindness of the "British gov
eminent" and the Bank of England in as.
sisting the "American Houses" Foreigners
as they were," &c. 1t is great act of
kindness, truly, in commercial operations,
when, on balancing accounts, the amount
due either party is demanded in specie !:
and when the indebted party is made bank.
rupt because he is unable to pay it, although
he offers ample security in cotton, rice, to-
bacco, pot and pearl ashes, and other sta.
plies Of the country, to which he trades.
There is unfair play about this business
somemhsre. We have repeatedly said that
American merchrets owe nearly the whole
oftheir commercial distress to the collision
of the two great Banks, and we have seen
nothing to change, but, on the contrary,
every thing to confirm our opinion.-N. Y.

OF Senatorial Convention TO be holden al
Schoolcraft instead Of Kalamazoo, and to be
one month later than the time specified in the
precious notice.
The Convention was called at Kalamazoo on
the 4th day of September, and the Central Cor
responding Committee have now changed the
time to the 4thdsy of October next, and the place
of meeting to Schoolcrat. We think, ourselves,
the place of holding Conventions should be dec.
ded by vote when the delegates are assembled
and that September would be too early for the
Convention. We copy the following article from
the Kalamazoo Gazette, on that subject-also the
call for the Convention, as corrected:
gJPThe Democratic Senatorial Convention for
the third Senatorial District, will be held at
Schoolcraft, at Mr.. John Dix's hotel, on the 4th
day of October next, at two o'clock, p. M, and
not as stated in our a yer last week. Those who
have noticed, will please correct.
