cal instruction; the intellectual treasure Of
a whole neighborhood, may be thrown into
a common stock for the benefit Of ALL To
persons of every age in life, meetings for
public discussions upon useful subjects, are
conducive to mental improvement. But
more especially to young men, are the cX-
erclscs usually had in Iyceums, calculated
to benefit the mind and lay the foundation
Tor future usefulness. Itbrings into action
the latont fat ulties Of the mind: it forms
correct habits of thinking and speaking,

wing upon him as citizen. 1t creates a
dlstaste for those amusements which please
the sensual feelings, without improving the

doing, they will reap the rich reward Of

friend has directed our attention to a speech of
Moses NJ. Strong, Esq. 10 citizens of Mineral FONT
the subject of the Mineral Point Bank, with re-
quest TO have ii published The request we intend
cd to comply witl but upon looking over the spcech
carefully, find it intimately connected with the
subject of the then approaching election in Iowa
county, and in addition, so very long, that have
concluded to forego its publication this our friend
will less regret copies Of it have been extensively
circulated through every potion of the territory.
The speech Of Mr.. Strong,e Exhibits extensive know
ledge with regard TO the affairs of the bank of Miner
al Point, and his conclusions in opinion are can
did and correct although they do not show up the a
fairs of the bank in any very favorable light. It's
true a committee of the legislature has been furnish
ed by the bank, with nicely balanced exhibit of It's
affars bat this argues nothing, for the same thing in
many an Institution has been done Immediately pre-
cedng ruinous break down. and it should have no
weight in opposition 10 clear convictions and facts
Mr.. Strong rccouns several instances of petty nfrac
tons Of the charter but that which he particular
ly called The attention of his hearers was the gene
raj opinion based on irresistible conclusions, that the
bank is deeply engaged in the lead trade A clause
in its charter, we believe, expressly prohibits the
bank from engaging in any kind of trade yet not
outstanding, 10 such extent is shc-beheved TO be
connected in this trade, that her capital in manner
may be caid to consist of lead, and upon the value
and prompt sale of this article, does she depend for
the redemption of portion of her issues and par
cularly her issues of post notes This is not as il
should be; noto-holders want better security for
their payment, than that afforded by the eastern lead
market, which must of necessity be fuctuating; and
even II this were not So it is palpable infracton of
the charter which is we'll calculated to- and ought to
create dlsrusf for is evidence that the bank is per
iectiy willing, while she hopes TO speculate herself
to let creditors depend upon contingency, which
II 1t fails, leaves Them without any other hope
source And further, the history of the management
OF this institution shows great resemblance to the
Southport telegraph. [volume] (Southport, W.T. [i.e. Kenosha, Wis.]) 1840-1850, 1840-10-20

If there are any debating clubs at a loss
for doubtful question to discuss, we would
suggest to them the question, ''who is cleo
ted governor Of Maine" We have come
across divers doubtful questions in cur day,
but none quite so doubtful as this; we
mean doubtful TO those who are anxious
for the truth of the case. Politicians have
settled the matter long since, and each party
have got it to suit themselves. 1t has long
been a maxim considered settled, ''that fl
cures wontlie:' this maxim is now we think
doomed to an overthrow, for, unless they
do lie, most egregiousIy, Kent and Fairfield
are 10th elected. The fact is it is yet i'm
possible to tell which is elected; the impress
sion has been that Kent was, but many pa
pcrs insist upon, and give the figures to
prove it, that Fairfield is. 1t will probably
be found out after the November election.

Within four weeks from this time, we
shall probably have returns sufficient 10 de-
torminc the result Of the Presidential cleo
ton. The ensuing three weeks Will be
season of intense interest and excitement
through the United States. If the amount
Of time which ablc-bodcd men will spend
in political clectionccrng, during the next
three weeks, were estimated at the rate of
six shilIlngs per day; and if to this were
added the money which will be spent for
the same purposes, it would exhibit a sum
sufficient to construct q rail road from the
Atlantic TO ST. Louis:-or it would build Il
harbour wherever the protection Of com
mercc and the wants Of trade require it, on
all the lakes and sea-coast in the United
States. Money enough will he staked and
lost by the reckless practice Of betting to
support all the paupcrs in the Union. Sc
ven more Of the states hold their elections
during the present month; from none Of
which we have yet any returns: none OF
the states choose Presidential electors be-
fore November. OF the states which hold
their elections in the present month, we
are in hopes Of having at least partial re-
turns from two, (Maryland and Georgia.
in season for our next paper. Each sue
cessive week we shall be able to lay before
our readers, important results, until the fl
nal triumph Of the victorious party shall
be determined: after which will follow, at
least for season, general cessation Of
political warfare throughout the Uuited
States. Whatever may be the final result,
but few will regret that the struggle is over.
The press has tecmcd for many months
with all the vehemencc Of party strife, and
we are quite sure that the most ardent POI
liiician must be fully satiated.

and in such night, we must enforce old
Aljce's hospitality
He knocked sharply at the door with his
sabre-hilt, and his dog set up loud and
disagreeable bark.
Immediately afterwards the door was
opened, and the wihered face Of the
wretched beldame, who called herself the
mistress Of the howell, was seen by the
light of a small lamp which she bore.
How now, mother" cried Schwartz
wald; SIS it robbers or COLLINS that you fear
since you are so cautious in opening your
doors"
You are not alone, mumbed the old
woman, without replying to tie soldiers
observations, as she saw The figure OF Leo
pold beyonds
q am not, replied the captain; Il bring
a gentleman to visit you on this suspicious
night; he wishes to see some Of your.
But POUNDS why do you keep us stand
ing in the cold here" he said abruptly, as
he pushed into the cottage, and was follow
ed by Leopold.
The place exhibited the most deSolate
appearance. On the hearth were some
scanty embers; on a table near it stood
the homely food on which it seemed
that the old woman had been regaling
when her visitors interrupted her supper.
This consisted of some OF the cOarsest
bread Of the country, and raw onion.-
A starved black cal was lying near the fire,
and was not disturbed either by the en-
trance Of the student and the soldier, or by
the black dog of the latter, with whom she
seemed TO be on very good terms.
Leopold looked about in establishment;
he was sure that he had seen lights and
heard sounds ofrude merriment few mo
ments before and he was sure too tina
they could proceed from no other place
than the room he was in, which now was
as dull and gloomy as a midnight tomb.
Come, mother, said Schwarlzwald, Eve
thought to have found some olthe lasses
of Gottingen nero, who had come to see
their future husbands in your famous mir
ror.'
What! on this night cried the old wo-
man.
AYE! why noG' said Schwartzwald:
when were mad-cap girls to be frightened
by bad weather from what they had set
their hearts on?'
There is not a girl in all Gottingen,
said Alice, that would come out tonight,
even fshe were sure OF getting husband
tomorrow by doing so.'

ANECDOTE or SnERIDAw.--The following
anecdote Of ShGridan's ynious cloqucnce we had
from the lips of one of the eldest surviving friends
and followers of Fox, and himself highly inlluen-
tinl Wing of the old school. This gentleman and
Sheridan had dined together at Beamy's; and
Sheridan having taken his allowance, gave his ac-
customcd signal for move. This sigual consisted
of the words "Now Shall 20 down aud see what's
doing in the House, which in reality meant, and
was always SO interrupted by whoever dined in hi1
company, Il have drank enough; my share of the
business s donc now do yours; call for the bill
and pay it, On this occasion the usual course was
pursued; and the bill having been settled by Sher-
dams friend, the latter hearing that Sheridan was
up, felt curious to snow what he could possible
be atknowIng the GLORIOUS state IN which ne han
just dcplrled, Accordingly, he entered the house,
aud, TO his no small establishment, found Sheridan
in fit of most erycnI orarory laundering forth the
following well-known passage, --'Giyc them cor
rupt House of Lords; give them vcnal House of
Commons; give them tyrannica prince; give
them trucking Court; and let me have but an
unfetered press, and will defy them to cncroach
hairs breadth upon the liberties of England -
