the benefit Of such as are likely to be deluded
bv such despicable means, that the promises

BY Nat. West aud others in Indiana, have

for non-acceptance. and most Of the humiliat-

ashamed Of having been made the dupes OF cor

ceved none; but have been partially quieted
by the piano tones Of the Attorney General,

Our letters from our Conservative friends
in the State Of New York are Of the most
cheering kind. An enthusiastic and confident
spirit is everywhere exhibited in our ranks,
and manfests itself in good works at the nu-
merous conventions lately held. They speak
with certainty Of rescuing the Government
from the Haypies that have done so much to
dlshonor It abroad and ruin its prosperity at
home-those ignorant and corrupt pretenders
who, BY a series of wicked and proAigate ex-
periments on the currency of the country,
have created ono widespread confusion aud
disorder, which they pretend to heal by use of
"hgdroslaiic balances and sliding dra,cers 70
The exertions of Mr.. TaIlmadge against those
traitors Of our party, who have violated every
pledge, and falsified every principle which we
set out to maintain, have been such as were
to have been anticipated from so exalted
statesman and so distinguished patriot The
bold and energetic movements Of that great
Conservative have given the coup de grace to
the enemies of freedom in that great State.
We subjoin short extract of "a letter received
this morning from a very influential citizen, a
resident Of Ulster county.
NEW YORK is SAFE.
She will go, with an increased majority,
against Van Buren,; bit she will 90 for Scott
and Tallmadge. The Conservatives have in
creased in this State in four-fold ratio, since
the political speech of Van Buren, at Castle
Garden. Coming events will astonish you.
There is an irresistible current setting in ia
vor ofthese distinguished men that will sweep
the entire State. The Regency traitors at
Albany, say if they could only get Tallmadge
ont Of the way, they would carry the State
for Van Buren,. Vain expectation--they can
not buy hm-neither can they offer him any
thing that could induce him to forego the good
Of his country for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

pillar in the Empire State. The traitors feel

IRISH CUNNiNa.--We learn from the De-
troit Post, that volunteer in Miss victoria's
service, finding canoe upon the beach near
Maiden, got into it and started on voyage Of
discovery. When he had got some distance
from the shore he was discovered by the Off
Ger of the day, who ordered men into beat
and gave chase. He pursued the voyager to
the American shore, and in his ardor he forgot
that he was out of British territory, and
seized the deserter; citizen told the man THAT
he was free and need not go back unless he
wished; one Of the officers men, an Irshman,
hearing this exclaimed" If that spalpeen be
FREE, SO is every mothers son of us! So yes
may jst go home my jewell addressing his Off
cer) and tell the kurnel that ye left us here to
take care of the prisonerp' Tut, tut" said
the officer, "getinto the boat men," "Arrah!"

A HoAx.--A few days since, when those
who had putin proposals for contracts on the
canal we're wplting, with the utmost anxiety
to hear Of theirfate, waggish genius from the
regions round about WatervIlle get up mock
report, purporting to be from Columbus, and
giving the names Of persons to whom, as the
report said, jobs had been given. This docu-
ment, which was taken by many to be true,
created quite a sensation along the line Of the
canal. Those who supposed they had sue
cecded were beyond measure elated, and trea-
ted amazingly, while those who were disap-4
pointed, looked black as thunder clouds and
drank like fishes for very chagrin and vexation.
This state of things continued for several days,
the rapport still unquestioned, when the true
one came, and there was an universal drop
ping of under jaws until its contents were
known. The correct report will be found in
our columns; the false one is now out Of date,
though there is said TO be a striking coinci-
dence be:ween the one and the other.

A JOKE CARRIED A LITTLE TOO rAR.-A
Mr.. Carson, of Pitt county, M. Carolina, late
ly undertook to hang himself en- ametaer, for
the amusement of convivial party in which
he was enjoying himself. He tied himself up
to beam, and before he could becut down he
was dead sure enough. We don't thinkit pro-
per for merry makers 10 indulge in such luxu-
rries as this--the old fashioned forms Of amuse-
ment are-not only funny enough for reasonable
people, but they are much safer.-W Y.

TowN LIBRARY .--The books of the Library
Association are open for subscription at Mr..
Fairman's store. Let every man do some
thing to help forward this enterprise. If a
man has no spirit upon such subjects, let him,
at least, for his own credit feign little and 60
forward and do something. A Library is a
credit to place; the want ofone is disgrace.
We may talk ofsoclety as much as we please,
and may suppose that we are very much polish

respectable Library with the proper spirit,
there is incontestible evidence that something

g DRowNINa. Robert White, of Ruggles, In
Huron CO. was drowned in the Maumee river
near the lower ware houses on Saturday even
last. He and fellow traveller were crossing
on the ice, contrary to the advice of those who
saw them preparing to start. They had pro-
ceeded but little way when both were seen
to break through and go down. One of them
however succeeded in clinging to the ice, until
he could be rescued, but the other sunk before
effectual aid could be rendered. Great praise
is due to Capt. Justice Baily of this place for
his courage and persevering endeavors, at the
risk of his own life to save that ofthe unfortu-
nate men. But for him, both would have been
drowned, and it is thought he would have sa-
we'd Mr.. White, but for the injury he had re-
ceived by striking his head against the ice.-
Capt. Bailey went out upon the ice, breaking
through several times and succeeded in keep
ing up the man who was saved until a boat
could be procured and the ice broken to the
spot, when he was taken in, almost as much
exhausted as the unfortunate man HIMSELF
Thomas Hubbell, son of Judge Hubbell Of
this place, is likewise worthy Of praise for his
perseverance, in sesonding the efforts of Capt.
Bailey.

Correspondence Of the Courier g. Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1889.

In the Senate, this morning, Mr.. Norvell
read his speech, a la mode lsaac Hill. 1t car
ried out the loco foco doctrine of MIR. Walls
report to the full extent, viz. that the office
holders were the people, and if they suffered
themselves to be deprived oftheir rights, there
ought to be placed in every hand a whip to
lash such rascals naked through the world.
So much for Mr.. Norvell.
Mr.. Webster presented very interesting
memorial in relation to seamen, asking that
Congress would pass a law to do away with
ardent spirits ip our national ships. This me-
mortal set forth that much of the lnsubordl-
nation and mutiny that took place at sea, was
clearly traceable to the too frequent use OF ar
dent spirit. That since the disuse oft in the
merchant service, there had been great NOR
al reform among the mariners of this country:
and that the merchants had derived great ben
eft from the diminuton of insurance on all
ships that respected the system. Aiact, was
mentioned Of ship having made her voyage
to India and back with the same two bottles
of brandy that had been put up in the medicine
chest. The object of this memorial was to ask
Congress to pass this law, and thus aid in the
benevolent design. The memorial was refer
red to the committee on commerce, and there
will be favorable report.
Mr.. Linn also presented memorial of ra-
ther an interesting chracter from traders by
land to Santa Fe, and with the Indians Of the
extreme West, praying that the protection of
the United States laws might be extended over
the Territory of Oregon. Mr.. Linn took oc-
casion to say, that he had introduced bill to
allow draw back on goods used in trading
with provinces of Mexico, to give our traders
fair chance with others. Something would
have to be done in relation to Oregon, or the
Hudson Bay Company would monopolise the
whole Indian trade with Mexico, and the Indl-
ans, to say nothing ofthe dangerous influence
it might acquire over the Indians on the west
ern borders of the continent.

There's land enough upon the town plot,
cleared and unoccupied. to furnish food for
our whole population. This land could be
cultivated to great profit as it would produce
most luxuriant crops, with no more than ordi-
nary labor. The value thatwould be added to
the land by cultivation aside from its improved
appearance, would be more than the whole
cost Of tilage. The Industrious and thrifty
appearance which such an enterprise would
confer upon our town, would be an inducement
to strangers to settle amongst us, and would
improve us both in character and reputation.

The people of Cincinnati are up and doing

Large meetings, without distinction of party

of Akron have also had a numerous meeting,
and the work is going bravely on there. The
Western Reserve goes for Free Banking; the
interior counties are moving and petitloning.

of their own slavery, and will ore long begin

in power look to it. If that collection oflaw-
makers at Columbus do not take their tone
from the key note that the people are now

demand of that party will be reiterated in a
