As neither candidate had majority Of

We find the following items Of " Demo-
cratic Reforms" in the Harrisburg States
Capitol Gazette. AS they entirely inset
our views, we extract them. We cannot
too strongly impEess, upon the Democratic
party the necessity Of urging these reforms
in our Banking system, upon the attention
of the next Legislature. Meetings should
be held in every county, nay, in every town
ship, to this effect. If it is not done, the
probability is that there will be batch Of
fifty new unrestricted Banks" during The
coming winter, fastened upon the vilalS Of
the community, to suck out its lies blood.
DEMOCRATIC REFORMS.
Fr8f.-The passage Of law placing
banking operations, and banking institutions
upon the same footing with other kinds Of
business.
Second.-The passage of a law making
the properly Of all the stockholders in a
bank Liable for any deficiencies that may a.
rise on settlement Of its affairs.

irg, after cerlian period, the issue or cir
culalion of any ba l. bill Of less denomi-

Fourth.-The insertion in all bank char
ters and all other acts of incorporation a
provision placing them at any time under
the entire control of The Representatives Of
the People. Thus enabling the people,
through their representatives, 10 pIevept any
abuses which they may perceive growing

DR.. JARVIS AND LADY.

Ii is wei! known to very large circle
public, particularly in New England, that
Dr.. Jarvis and his lady lived most unhap-
PLY together. 1t was hoped that the az
fair would not have become public, and
that the mantle of oblivion would have been
spread over the whole affair. The parties,
however, have determined otherwlse.-
Mrs. Jarvis has applied for bill Of divorce
and has stated her grievances at length in
her Petition to the Legislature of COnnec.
tlcut, which is published to the world, 1t
10 therefore go breach Of courtesy, or deli
cacy, to give the complaints of the lady in
our journal. We shall give the Doctors
reply to it, whenever it appears. There
are probably but few persons in this coun-
try that have held more respectable sta.
lions in society, or who are more respecta'
bly, and extensively connected. Doctor
Jarvis is the son Of the late Bishop Jarvis,
Of New Haven. He was educated at Yale
College, studied for the ministry, and was
settled over large congregations in N. York
and Boston. and we believe in Hartford.
He is one of the ripest scholars and best
IIngulst in this country. He has great ad.
vanlages in life, Possessed of al ample
fortune, he has travelled over large por-
ton Of the old world and mingled eXtcn-
svely with the most prominet aud dlstn-
gushed persons in this country and Eurpe.
Mrs. Jarvis is the daughter of Elisha Hart
Of Sa gbrook, sister of Mrs. Commodore
Hull, and the lady of the Hon. Heman
Allen. But few OF the lausn,crs .: New
Engla were better educated, or more
respectfully and fashionab'y Connected
She too has travelled over a large portion
Of the world, and has literary reputation.
Where the fault lies, the public will judge
when both sides are presented.
PosrscnIpT. Since the above was
written, we find the following in the Com
mercal:
The Divorce CAsE.-A correspondent
at Hartford informs IA that The case be-
tween the Rev DR.. Jarvis and his lady
has been happily settled by the counsel of
the parties. The conditions have not as
yet been made public. 1t is understood
however, that very respectable support
has been settled upon Mrs. Jarvis, and thar
in their separation she takes her Oldest
daughter with her.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM
ENGLAND

By the packet ship England, Captain
Waite. news has been received from Eng.
land up to the 25jh ul,.
The question of their Irish policy has
been decided IN favor of the ministers, by
n majority Of 22-296 members Of Parlla.
mcnt being against, and 3l8 for them. II
we take from the ministerial vote the SO
placement, who of course always vote for
their employers, it leaves the ministers in
moral minority Of Ia. The radicals
voted for the ministers to man, at the
same time their leaders declared i, was
their Irish policy alone that they Supported.
We arc happy, then, To see ,hn, Justice to
Ireland is the predominant, feeling in the
British House of Commons. But ministers
cannot retain their places unless something
unexpected occurs to give them more pop
uIarlly, 1t is also equally certain that q
Tory ministry could not live session,
unless by coaesclur with the radicals.
This contamination may possibly take
place, but 1t will be futile. for the men who
lead the tories are so essentially different
from the leaders of the radicals, that the
aliance would be totally unnatural.
The only end Of these disputes will be
,nc hH'og uiurc HfDlY, I'D lne nenrt or the
English people, the conviction that liberal
principles alone can coDtnuc on the ascen.
Jant. The Tories, however much thew
may disguise it. are at heart opposed to
freedom. They desire to return to those
times when tenant and landlord were only
other names for slave and his master. One
feature has been developed in the late de-
bate which we deeply regret. That fea.
ture is the state Of the vote with the mem.
bers of England. Wales and Scotland
among them there was a great majority
against Ireland. II was the Irish members
who turned the scale. This state of things
is more deplorable now than at any pre-.
vious period, for it shows lha, much as the
English may have advanced in civilization
they have lost none of their ancient jea-
ousy OF their Irish neighbors.

INDIAN MURDER.

The Providence Journal of late date reports at
large the trial Of Daniel Harry, in Washington
county, for the murder of Christopher Ross, on the
10Th March-bolh Indians, of the Narragansett
tribe. The murdur was committed in the course
OF lroIic, some slight offence having been given by
the deceased to Harry. He is said 10 be colat.
eral descendant of King Tom, the last sachem of
the tribe. The 9th Of August is appointed for his
execution, verdict Of guilty having been rendered.
His department at the close Of the trial is thus
described
The prisoner is aged rhirty.onc years, short but
well formed. with Straight black hair and emacialed
by confinement. The expression Of his countenance
though tranquil is strong and decided. During the
trial he betrayed (whe in cOurt( no emotion of
guilt or fear, except by The large drops of sweat
which constantly stood on his face. When the
verdict was pronounced he preserved the same i'm
movable calmness. BOT in the evening he exhibited
power OF sell control scarcely credible. IVhile
the Judge addressed him, and when the words
hanged by the neck until dead, were pronounced
not a muscle moved, no expression but that of
patient suffering. This will appear the more
remarkable, when it is known that he is a man of
more Than ordinary mind, and that only a moment
before taken from the Jail he was weeping bitterly,
while nquirng Of friend how he could besow his
Indian land upon his sister, an only relative. 1t
was altogether an exhibition Of lorlitude moi un.
worthy Of his ancestors.

EMIGRATION FROM CANADA.

The very great extent to which emgra-
ton 10 the United S atcs. from Canada,
continues to be prosecuted, warrants the
belief that the confidence rcposed by the
inhabitants of those provinces in the long
continuance of the present penceablc state
Of affairs IN that quarter is both limited and
slight. Indeed should he tide Of emCra
ton continue for any considerable length
OF time to as great an extent as it has pre-
vailed since the opening OF navigation, her
Mojesty's colony will be reduced to q
"beggarIy account" of population, and
before the end OF The season the military
will nearly ontnumber the civil portion OF
the inhabitants. The Toronto Mirror
llkens the stream of families, with their
possessions Of horses, cattle aud money.
which is constantly pouring ont Of the
Canadas mo the States, to "a mighty
food" and the accounts furnished BY the
papers published on both sides Of the lines
indicate that the comparison is not inapt.
At one gap (Lewisron) the average has
been 1000 week since the opening of the
navigation. In one day, last week, up.
wards of GO families arrived there, forming

Tins is to inform The Public, that 1t will be

"This Monster is larger than an elephant
OF very uncommon shape, having three
heads, eight legs, three tuudamenls. It is
OF various colors, very beautiful, and maxi

LAWFUL REvENGE.-Many years since, a
gentleman in Newington,a parish Of JFeahersfed
Connecticut. who was a very religious and consci-
enlious man, married one of the most iIl.natu ed
and troublesome women who could be found in the
vicinity. THIS occasioned a universal surprise
wherever he was known, and one of his neigh
bors venured to ask him the reasons which had
governed his choice. He replied, that having had
but little trouble in the world, he was fearful Of
becoming TOO much attached TO things Of time and
sense. and he thought that by experiencing some
Affections, he should become more weanel from the
world, and that he married such woman as he
thought would accomplish this object.
