/ AvARIcE.--Dr. Dyolt, who has been re.
Gently convicted Of fraud in conducting the
Manual Labor Savings Bank OF PHILADELPHIA.
has been sentenced 10 three years hard labor
in the Eastern Penitcntinry Of fPcnnsylvanin.
There appears To have been very little sym
pathy for his fate, although the Doctor is at
ihe advanced age of 70. Ills case is one OF
many in which an anxiety to become sudden.
ly rich hos plunged men in crime and misfor.
tune and it is another warning to The world
10 beware of ararice--to be content with our
lot, and thrive by industry and economy-to
obtain an honest living for our fomies, and
lay up part of our earnings for future day.
This ndmonitiOn becomes moro necessary
from the fact that the people of our country
are amazingly enterprisng, and fond Of
making money and making il quickly. They
are not content with the slow but sure results
Of an industrious and frugal life, but are con.
stantly endeavoring to dash ahend-to over
leap obstacles to strike at something great
and novel--to realize thousands in day
to become opulent over night. Where one
succeeds in such projects, thousands fail :
and even the successful man thus enriched,
becom" careless and extravagnnt. and soon
falls back upon his former position. "Light
come, light co." saith the provcrb.
! The worst feature, however. in this case is,
that man tries to become rich by swinaling
the poor for what can we call il but swind
ling to issue bank notes and shinplas.ers
without capital to redeem them, and then by
fictitious representations, cause them to cir.
culate among the aboring poor, the ricl r and
well-informcd will not take the,n) and after
accumulating large sums by such frauds, shut
up shop, leaving thousands of poor victims
to suffer from the imposition. Men cannot
hope to escape punishment committing such
crimes. A, Or. Dyo,t's advanced age, be
can scarcely hope 10 outlive his SENTENCE

Atown meeting was held at the Court
House in this place, on Monday morn
ing last, at 10 o'clock--Hon. X. Is.
Cranston, Moderator.
A vote passed directing the Town
Council to establish the usual Night
Watch forthwith, to continue until the
|3lst of March next.
Israel F. Lake was appointed to su-
perintend the Common at the head Of
Broad-strcet.
The communication Of the Street
Commissioners relative to the road to
the Beach aud encroachments thereon,
was referred to the April town meeting.
A vote passed allowing interest on
Toun orders from the time when pay
ment is demanded, if not paid on pre-
sentiment. This vote ought to have
been passed long while ago. We
know that IOwn Orders have been
hawked about street for some months
past, and so much below par were they
considered, that the holders Of them
could not even trade them away for
provisions or tire-wood-many of them
aborng people too, who want all their
earnings as fast as they become due.
Some provision ought in fact to be
made, for the credit of the town, to
keep the Treasurer in funds sufficient,
at all times, to pay every demand that
may be presented. We hope this mat
ter will be more fully attended to here
after
Messrs. George G. Shaw and NJ.
Freeborn, were appointed a committee
to lease the Day lot, so called, in the
street leading from Thames-street to
Elm-street, for term not to exceed
five years, and to throw out from said
lot into the street, sufficient land to
straighten the line of the street.
The acts relative to Carting Sand and
Gravel from the Beach were ordered to
be published, and the Street Commits
isoners were authorized to put said acts
in force against all those who may
hereafter violate them. See advertis-

CoNGREss.-rhe first session of the
26th Congress, commences on Monday,
the Cd day of December. We observe
by our exchanges, that the members
are beginning to wend their way toward
the seat of Government. The members
from this State, leave on Monday the
25th, on their way thither. Though
we have not much hope Of electing a
Wing Speaker, as things have strange
ly turned, still the choice will be very
close, and it is therefore important that
every Wing member should be in his
place on the first day. The Van Buren,
candidate, it is thought will be Mr..
Pickens, Of South-Carolina. Mr.. Bell
Of Tennessee, has been the most promi-
ncnt Wing candidate, and will no doubt
expect to be run as such. The N. Y.
Cmimcrcisl, thinks, however, that Mr..
Dawson, of Georgia, could more easily
be elected. "He is a strong man,
(says the Commercial, IA sound Wing

command the otherwise doubtful votes

PoLITIcAL HIsToRy.--Our iellow-citi-
zen, Alden Bradford, has in preparation
History Of the Government OF tho
United States, for fifty years from 1888,
the period of its organization under the
present Constitution. We had the plea
sure of slight examination of part OF
the manuscript, and we anticipate from
its publication an instructive and use
full book. 1t will not be history Of tho
United States, but simply view Of the
prominent acts, proceedings, operations
and effects of the Federal Government.
BY excluding the discussion Of oil topics
not distinctly embraced in the plan which
its name indicates, the author will be en-
abled to present complete historical
view in the compass of five hundred oc-
tavo pages. Mr.. Bradford, Of course,
refers often to public documents, but no
writes also from personal knowledge.
He is at least twenty-five years older
than the subject of his history s. is iamll-
lar with almost every fact and incident
connected with it. His ability and integri-
ty qualify him to produce an authentic
work and we are glad to see one, 80 ca
pable, willing to bequeath to the world
| and the generations that are TO follow
him, so valuable testimonial of patri-

MICHIGAN REDEEMEDIi

We have the unfeigned satisfaction to
announce to our readers, that the young
State of Michigan has been entirely re-
deemed from Van Burenis'n. and that
she is now one of the most thorough
Wing States in the Union. The gene
raj election took place on the 4th, 9th
and 9th of November-the same three
glorious days that secured to US The
great State of New York. Amid the
close calculations for deciding precisely
how our own election has terminated, J,
we turn with pleasure TO the decided in
dications Of reform in the peninsnlar
State. Last year Gov. Mason, the Van
Buren, candidate, was elected by lag
majority, and the Legislature was of the
saa,e school OF politics. This year, our
returns show that the Wings have all
the branches Of the government, by over
whelming majorities. The civil revolu-
tion is complete.
This result secures to us Wing Sena-
tor to Congress, whose place is now
vacant, and will subject the other Van
Buren Senator 10 wholesome instruc-
tons. Nor is this all it affords con-
elusive indication that the State will
support the regular Wing candidute for
The Presidency.
In Massachusetts the unpropitiOus re-
suit has been brought about by unioiiu.
nate local dissertions, far removed from
great national questions. IN Michigan,
we have reason to believe that the revo-
luton has been achieved entirely on
great fundamental princi pies Of national
policy. We have therefore every rea'
son to hope, that while the exciiemen's
of the former will be ephemeral and
transient, that the causes Of Wing re-
form in the latter will be stable and per-
maneni. The same may be said in re-
gard to the glorious victory in N. York.
In both OF these States, the exciting and
moving topics were the mal-adm'nistrn'
iion ol the existing powers at Washing
ton, the arrangement Of the currency,
the warfare upon the banks and small
lls,-,he universal system Of corruP'
ton through all the branches ol the ma
tional execuiive,-ardl last, though not
least, the Odious sub-ireasnry system, ms
the leading measure OF the adn,inistra-
ton.
Such have been among the great and
mornen' Gus questions on which the elcc-
tons in New York aud Michigan have
hinged. Compared To these noble en-
quir,es, how insignificant do our tempo
rary squabbles about remote or m'ne,
date abOlilion-temperance aud 'nien,-
Perance-n appear! The upshot OF It all
is, that the politics of New York and
Michigan are based on the deepest and
most lasting Of all foundations to wit,
the great interests and prosperity of the
nation. When the Presidential cleo
lion occurs, those States will adhere fast
TO their Wing principles, while Massa.
chusetls, mindful of her past political
character, will abide by her "seconJ
thought" and again place herself in the
constellation Of Wing States.
