LOCAL DIsCUSsIoNs.--Our Toledo CO.
temporary has not unfrequently remarked in
substance, that discussions of the claims of
the towns on this river, to the business Of
the canal are useless and Improbable. We
have sometimes dssented, both in word
and practice, from this doctrine, which,
however well it may apply to Toledo, does
not, we are satisfied apply to us; and in so
dong, our reasons are always ready, and in
our estimation sufficient.
This place was less affected with the
spirit Of speculation that pervaded the coun-
try in the years 1885 and ETHAN perhaps any
town upon the Maumee. Most of the
property sold by the original proprietors
p assed into the hands ofthose who purchas-
ed in small quantities, at fair pnces, for the
purpose of improvement, and not to sell
again. The consequence is, that most of
the landowners of this place reside here,
and have no means of acting upon public
opinion, except through the organ whic h
they possess, here at home. Toledo, on
the contrary has proprietors everywhere.
A shipping interest abroad largely connec =
ted by purchases of property at enormous
prices capable of silently excrting strong
influence upon public opinion--a large
quantity fits property scattered among in
fluential citizens ofthis and the neghboring
states, among whom may be numbered ma
ny who have been members of our legisln-
tive bodies, and who as experience has pro-
we'd have not been too impartial in their
views concerning matters hereabouts-and
many of Its own citizens, who have great
interest at stake in the future growth of the
place, and who can do much by acting un-
der the covert of privacy, without the dam
ger of their statements beng called in ques-
tion, which would arise in case ola public
discussion; all admonsh those who have
the fortunes OF Toledo in hand, to act less,
before the general eye, and more through
the assistance of those peculiar facilities
which they possess.
1t is undoubtedly very good policy for
Toledo to strive to silence the press here,
and had their example been, in all cases
conformable to their precept, the end would
in many cases have been gained, but when
we are, from time to time led into contro-
versy, by breaking out there, we feel our
selves impelled not to desist until all has
been said, and the whole matter put upon
the footing of truth.

He VICE GRESlDENCY.--Uld Iecumseh
seems determined not to be laid OH the shell
quietly, but will stand his ground as a can
didate for reelection until the party formal
! ly thrusts him aside. The editor of the
Lexington lntelligencer announces that he
has recently chad an unreserved conversa-
tion with Col. Johnson" IN which the Col.
alIuding to the Vice Presidency, declared
that "were the subject of interest to none
except himself, he would retire to private
life, and leave the office he now holds to
some individual more desirous of filling it;
but he feels himself as belonging to the re-
publican party, and that he has no right to
decline reelection should that party re-
quire his services. At the same time, he is
entirely willing to yield all pretensons,
whenever another shall be selected, who will
probably be more acceptable to the party,
and he will do so most cheerfully."
This, although smoothly spoken, Is suhi-
cient!y explicit, but to prevent the possiblli-
ty of any mistake, the Intelgencer, by au-
thority of Col. Johnson, announces him as
candidate for the Vice Presidency, the Col
one being "too good democrat to leave
the administration when his services are
needed"
This is capital. "When his services are
needed" Commend US to such nice phra-
seology. The grand amalgamator of the
Great Crossings finds five thousand year
aud the privilege of snoozng in the SEN
ate chamber too pleasant to be given. His
services are needed and though he stinks

"BEDLAM LET LOOSE" or scene in The
City HaH.-Such heart -sickening scene
of riot, disorder, and confusion, has not for
two years past been exhibited in the lowest
neighborhood of this city, as was witnessed
yesterday in the chamber of the Board OF
Aldermen, on the solemn occasion of the
Inauguration of the Mayor elect of the city.
A dense crowd of citizens, intermingled
with butt-enders and indomitables, had as
sembIel about the entrance of and within
the Hall, some twenty of the police, how
ever, being in attendance degree Of order
was for some length of time preserved.
At l2 o'clock the Mayor elect was mtrodu-
ced to the board, preparatory to his taking
the oath Of office, by His Honor, Aaron
Clarke. The mob at this moment broke
through all restraint, the officers were knock
ed down and several of them trampled up
on, numbers of the half naked rowdies leapt
over the railing and filled every inch of
space remaining within the bar; from every
quarter could be heard groans and cries of
"och, murder, I'm kilt" "an' yer crushing
me to death" "oh, dear me-" and the like,
the perpetual knocking of the Presidents
mallet, and the shouts of silence from old
Hqys, &c. Torn coats and garments were
by no means scarce, and ever and anon
among the crowd could be seen peering
forth the head Of some of the members"
elect, who were vainy striving to gain their
seats, which atter object they were only
able at last to effect, by climbing over the
bar, and often over the heads Of the multi
tude. 1t was in the midst of such scene
as we have here but family described that
the office (utterly unheard by himself or any
one else) was administered to the new chief
magistrate of the city. Mr.. Varan on ta-
king his seat, did not address the Common
Council, but sat ir silence, till sufficient Or
der was restored, to enable him to admins
ter the oath to the members of the Common
Council. In the Board of Assistants scene
so similar to the one we have here desert
bed, was enacted, that it is useless to add
any additional particulars.--Cou. e. Eng.
