Omo.-A meeting Of the Democratic Republicans
of Cincinnati, opposed to the Sub-treasury, was re-
Gently held for the purpose of organization. The
Cincinnati Republican thus explains their object:
The object is to maintain their present high posi-
tion keep up distinct organization, and remain
alike separate from the extremes of Loco-Focoism
and Federalism. II they do this the cause of sound
principles will assuredly triumph. They desire to
preserve the old and safe political land marks-to sus-
tain State rightso resist encroachments upon them
from any quarter-to keep the power and patronage
of the General Government within safe and proper
lms--and to check any Interference either directly
or indirectly with State institutions. This they
can do if they do not allow themselves to be swallow
ed up by either of the two parties of the country
This they can do as they have done heretofore
They can hold the destiny of the nation in their
hands, while the deusive theories of the ultraiss
of every description shall pass away, and the great
majority OF business men, the mechanics and farmers
OF the country shall cluster around this nucleus and
worship once more at the political shrines where
their fathers have knelt before them. -.s.
The Daily News adds: a....
In the present aspect of affairs there is every rea
son to believe that Dr. Duncan will be defeated. We
do not boliove there be well founded hope Of
different result. The Conservatives, small as they
in point of numbers, can control the election in
Hamilton county, and will do it. In our humble
opinion this matter is settled beyond a doubt.

JOINT STOCK BANKS.

A recent committee appointed to inquire into the
operation OF the acts, permitting the establishment
of Joint Stock Banks in England and Ireland, and
whether il was expcdient TO amend any of the pro-
visions Of those acls made report OF which the fol
lowing forms an important parts
In the course Of their inquiries it has been strongly
urged the attention Of your committee that part
Of the law in respect to Joint Stock Banks stands in
need ofimmedaie amendment
"By the general law Of partnership, the common law
remedy for the recovery of debts which exist between
party and party is not applicable in cases where the
debt is contracted between partnership and one Of the
partners or shareholders. In such case the remedy
is by proceeding in court Of equity and such
medy in the OF Joint Stock Bank cumbrous,
complicated, and dilatory, to afford ade-
quae means for just debt This Inconvenience is
not wholly imaginary, but, from the evidence Of Mr..
Broadbent, OF the inspectors OF the Northern and
Central Bank, has already had most formidable and in
furious consequences Upwards Of f400, 900, is stated
10 be due to that bank from it's shareholders
This sum is now practically irrecoyerable at law and
thus not only is that establishment precuded from wind
ing up its affairs, but the rights Of third parties
may be affected most seriously. The Inconvenience
danger extends much further because, If q similar
defence were raised by debtors Of Joint Stock Banks
generally serious blow might be struck at COM
mercal credit, likely to produce tho most caamtous
consequences This Of things should not e per-
mittcd to continue but whilst your committee Of
opinion that bill to correct this Inconvenience should
be introduced without delay, they are unwilling that
such should be permanent in its character, or
should be in force for longer period than to the end Of
the next session Of parliament.
by following this course, the law respecting Joint
Stock Banks must be brought under early consdera-
ton, which, with view to this object, well to the
propety OF considering the whole OF the evidence taken
in the present and former sessions, your committee
consider highly desirable London paper.

There are great many stories told of the
prolific soil of the great west how that bread,
ready buttered, grows upon high trees and
pigs tails, planted in the rich aluvial bottom
lands in the fall, fructify in such wise, that on
some fine evening in early spring, a crop of
juvenile porkers may be seen marching into
the sewers farm yard from the "spot where
they grew" with short squeak, and in militia
ny order; and that jack knives are raised by
kindred agricultural process Howsnevar
this may be, we. are credibly informed that
the truth of statement equally surprising,
can be easily established. In Illinois it is
quite common thing for deer, being previ-
ously accommodated with "bucket full of
salt" on their tails, to walk up to squatier's
tent in the forest, turn his fat launches to the
fire, and keep them there, until properly cook
ed, and permit a delicious steak to be cut
therefrom. They then go about their bust
ness with equanimity. In some instances, it
is farther stated that they return at nightfall,
to furnish forth ga cold cut" We have this
statement in the handwriting of Mr.. John
Smith, Of Illinois, who refers confidently to
Mr.. John Thompson, of Ohio -Kaickerbockcr.
