TIE LEGISLATURE.

tits profitable when we are about selecting
new agents 10 look back upon the acts of
those whom we have heretofore had in our
employ, that we may see whether they
have been faithful in the discharge of the
duties intrusted to them, in sustaining the
interest of their constituents generally, or
whether they have taken advantage of the
powers conferred upon them, to enrich
themselves and their friends at the expense
of the many: The Democracy of Colum-
bia county are decidedly opposed from prin-
ciple, to the banking system as it now ex-
lists in this state, and to the granting such
an innumerable number of corporations as
every Legislature for years passed have
fastened on the vitals Of the community
This opinion has often been expressed.
both at public meetings and through the bal
lot box. One Of the greatest objections
raised against the continuance of the admin.
istration of Joseph Ritner, and the antima.
sonic whig party in power, was their being
in favor Of unlimited and unrestricted banks
and interpretations. In this county, in par.
ticular, we elected our representative, ant
gave a tremendous majority in favor o.
Gov. Porter upon these grounds, and it was
expected that, at least, measures would be
taken to restrict, if not put stop to the fur
ther increase of the number of these evils
But how wofully have the people been dis
appointed. Instead of curtaiIing the pow
ers of interpretations, or refusing to increase
the number, every charter that was asked
for, no matter for what purpose, or however
unlimited the powers wished, was readily
granted. Every attempt that was made
for attempts were made by some stern ant
unyielding Democratic MEMBERS, to max,
stockholders liable for the debts of the com
pany, or to place other wholesome restric
tions upon them, was voted down, and oul
representative was always found on the side
Of corporations, opposing restrictions, an(
granting unlimited charters. Indeed, SC
far has this system been carried during the
last session of the legislature, that out O
2l5 acts passed, l24 are interpretations, OF
elate to private companies, and 81 for eth

COMMUNICATIONS.

Mr.. Editor,
A notice has appeared in the I" Danville
Intelligencer" and "Berwick Sentinel" in
forming the people that it is the intention
Of the spectators in and about Danville, to
apply at the next Legislature for charter Of
a BANK to be located at DANVILLE.-
After the repeated expression of the public
voice in this county against banks and all
other chartered monopolieS, it is a matter
of surprise that any one should attempt
bringing the issue of bank or no bank be-
fore the people at an election. Those who
now bling up the project of bank calcu-
late too much on the possibility of humbug-
ing the people, and are foolish enough to
believe that they can induce the democracy
of Columbia county to renounce their prin-
ciples in order to enable few reckless spec
ulators to get possession of capital by law
which they never can possess by means of
their labor or industry. 1t is well worthy
of the attention of the people 10 inquire,
who the real projectors of this bank are, and
what are their motives. The persons who
sign the notice are not the active persons
in the plot, but their names are used in the
same way that lawyers use the fictitious
names ofJohnDoe & &RichardRoe, to conform
TO the forms of law. The few active proiec.
tors this bank project will, on inquiry, be
found to be men without actual capital, who
by means of bank credit, have embarked in
wild and extravagant speculatons in coal
lands, iron ore, &c. and who wish by an
increase of bank credit to obtain the pro-
ceeds of the labor of the farmer, mechanic
and laboring men without expense or exer-
tion-or men, who without principle, wish
to obtain retain the political control of
the county by means of bank influence.
Are the people of Columbia willing to
countenance such project, founded on
such motives 1t is for them to say on the
I'd Tuesday of October next, when they
will be called upon to cast their votes for
member of the Legislature, whether they
are or are not willing TO ratify the opinion
held by majority Of the bank speculatols,
that bank notes can govern the people when
reason fails.
Let the Democracy of the county take
this subject into early and candid considera-
ton, and vote for no one for member of the
Legislature who refuses to give written
pledge to oppose the chartering of bank
in the county. A DEMOCRAT.

GERMAN BANDITS.

The southern and western parts of Swa-
bia have been this winter infested by nu-
merous band Of robbers and swindlers, un-
der a leader named Baarfuss, whose ex-
ploits have been of daring description.-
According to the information laid before the
magistrates, the murders, ,robberies and other
offences Of this band, amount to 596. Baar-
fus, before he was discovered used to par
ade the twnn of Neisse, in splendid landua,
dressed in the height of fashion. When he
left that place he carried away with him
Jewels to the amount of 81, $50 francs, OF
which he had swindled a eweller; and at
Patichkau, seduced the daughter of rich
brewer, whom he prevailed to run away
with him, taking with her Jewels, notes and
bills belonging to her father, to a considera-
bic amount This i'll gotten wealth he
squandered with great prodigality. He
kept young actress at Patichkau, to whom
he presented rich set of diamonds, and al
lowed $4,000 francs a month. In every
town and village he used to deposite large
sums in the charity boxes, and when he
met priest on the road, used to giye him
money for the relief of his INDECENT parish
toner's. He has been at length arrested by
the Bailih Of Johannisber. He is repre-
sented as tall, handsome man, about 35
years of age, with black hair, and coun-
tenance expressing great energy and acute
ness. His manners are polite, and his Ian
gnage is said to denote a good education.

A WHIG OF sUGARLOAF.
Mr.. Web5,


/ have waited with considerable impa-
tience for some movement in the removal
question, as l am very anxious it should be
agitated this fall, and | find that every per-
son in this section of the cOunty,with whom
| have conversed upon the subject ale equal
ly determined with me, to have the ques-
ton fairly tested. 1t is outrageous that the
populous county of Columbia should be
made tributary to village in an extreme
corner of the county, and where we are
compelled to consume the provisions of
another county while attending our own
courts, as we have heretofore had to do.--
Let the courts be removed to the most CEN
tral position, that the whole county may
have equal access TO the county seat. 1t
is but justice, and justice let US have; and
all that is wanting to obtain it, is for the
removal interest to wake up, and every man
put his shoulder to the wheel, and give
"lOng pull, a strong pull, and pull alto
gether," and the cause is as safe as it is lust;
and we shall soon rid ourselves of the heavy
burthen we endure.

On the 4th of June, Lord John Russell
took occasion to say that the Government
would not now pursue its plan of national
education, that it had given up the idea of
founding a normal school, and that he now
meant to propose the funds originally in
tended to be voted should be distributed for
the purposes Of edacation, under the super
insendence Of the National Society and the
British and Foreign School Society. This
abandonment of the plan brought out some
violent complaints against the Ministry.
