published the vote on this question, when

vote it appears, that every LocoFoco from

Jones, voted against it. The reason was,
their oracles, the Globe, Richmond Enquirer,
and Albany Argus, were opposed TO it.
The Globe then said that it was "disorgan-
izing" and unconstitutional. The Rich
mond Enquirer said it was Incompatible
with republican institutions and the Alba

MANNERS AND TASTES OF NATIVE INDIA
SoCIErY.-Chldish and barbarous as we
must admit large portion of .he amuse.
ments of the native society of India to be,
yet there can be no question of their capa-
bihty of enjoying much more intellectual
pleasures. There are, 1t is true, whole
castes and classes of persons so extremely
ignorant as to appear to be guided by in
stinct rather than by reason, and whose ma
tural stupidity seems to render Improvement
perfectly hopeless; but the maor portion
are intelligent and of cultivated tastes,
which, in many parts of Europe, and GER
tainly in England, are confined to persons
of superior grade. 1t is but very lately
in this country that the lower classes have
begun to relish the refiuements of music, or
that the street ballad-singers have given
way to mnstrels of higher pretensions.
But in Hindostan, the same air that delights
the prince is the solace of the peasant, and
the tale that is told in the palace is repeat
ed under the thatch of the cottage. 1t will
perhaps be a very long time before any Ash
atics ofany rank can be taught to appre
ciate the divine compositions of the great
masters of the art, since they have no such
thing as connected music; the greater num-
Der Of Instruments employed, the greater
the discord. But the simple melodies, con-
sisting of few sweet wild notes, struck
upon guitar, and perchance accompanied
by voice richly gifted by nature, comes
home to every feeling heart. These pop
ular airs are common all over India, and
are often heard in the most remote aud un-
frequented places, breaking the silence of
the summer night on the banks of lonely RI

SPECTATORS IN FLOUR.
From the N. York Evening Star.

FLOUR is falling and Spectators will lose
money. This fact has induced the Buffalo
Journal TO refer TO the subject and explain
the cause. 1t is admitted that for some
years back there have been short crops, and
OF course -four was high--but high as it
was, the spectators obtained facilities from
banks, which enabled them to hold on, and
now flower is ialling--the new crop will
shortly be in market, and Spectators have
a considerable portion Of the last crop on
hand, and as the saying is in the west, "they
have 10 sweat for it," There is no feeling
for this class. Monopoly of any kind, in a
. country where free trade is the basis of pros
perity, is always odous, but more so when it
embraces the actual staff of life. 1t is an
oppressive tax upon the poor, and instead OF
wheat going to the miller, and the flour
forthwith to the purchaser, and so 10 the
consumer, the wheat is purchased sometimes
before il is cut and the speculator and mi Her
find means TO purchase up whole fields and
hold on the -four, waiting for rise in price.
H it is objected that Banks have afforded
too many faculties TO these spectators, the
answer is thai Banks have had few better Gus.
toners than the millers and speculate
this was in times Of high prices and shorl
crops-now, when -four is falling, and heavy
amounts are on hand, the Banks, which are
large creditors, begin to feel anxious for the
result We hope they may all come out safe
but MS general rule the Banks should en-
deavor to extend their discounts far and nea
accommodate farmers with small loans in
preference TO great operations with specua
tors, and by this course they will hare Q
strong hold on the confident and protection
of the people, and prevent selfish politician.
from making constant assaults on their cor
porate rights.
