places, the military were called out to
quell the affrays. In Liverpool several
men were wounded aud about so taken
prisoners: an in Carlisle two men were
killed in the afffly, These are only spe-
cimens of what was going on in the whole

Affairs at Canton remain in nearly the

tons were going on between the British
and Chinese, but nothing conclusive has

GIVE are informed that aperson went
through this place the first of last week
on his way from Cincinnati 10 West Union
10 procure n change of funds, having
about 500 of notes on the Bank orWest
Union in his possession. lie returned
the next day with the same funds. He
bad been to the Bank, and was told that
they could do nothing for him. lie was
butcher, and had probably dearly earnt
the trash that now proved as unavailable
as so many rags in his pocket. Now, we
would like to know what has become Of
the $37,3i7 81 Of specie which IFS Off
GERS advertised to be in its vaults on the
3lst of December last. We have not
heard OF their paying more than ten dol
lars Of specie for their notes since that
time; but we have frequently heard OF
their reFnsals to pay specie; aud as it was
given out that the Bnnk was in state of
suspension, comparatively few demands
were made upon it. Yet the officers now
acknowledge that they have not enough
"Banlon humbugs" to redeem seven hun
dred dollars of their (''belter currency,'O
notes! Statements of the condition' of
the Bank were published in October
and January; in both of which it was
stated that upwards of thirty-sevep thou
sand dollars of specie were in its vaults:
ana the Bank was represented in other
respects TO bo sound. About the time
these statements were published, large
batch OF new notes was manufactured
and put in circulation. They were sent
to Wisconsin and other territories and
States by thousands; and it would be
difficult to guess to what degree the
bank has "expanded;" though, for the ben.
eht the honest nole-holders, we could
wish il were not beyond its ability to

true. The al interim editor Of this pa

quarter, that it imposes burdensome du.

as mere hearsay, but it is fact drawn
from our own experience. II divorces

ed, by the wise and saluiary provisions
of this much abused law, under The care
of Congress, and not, as has been most
falsely represented, in the hands OF the
Executive So far from increasing, it
lesscned it, for it cut off The immense
power vested in the President Of nam-
ing bank in which the public moneys
were to be kept. A power which, if ex.
ercised by an ambitious OF designing
President, could bring the banks Of the
country, their officers aud dependents at
once at the foot of the Executive, as
humble snpplants fur his favor. Aided
by the public revenue in the vaults, the
deposit banks could make money hand
over hand, and who does not know these
ust;iu ions would willingly support the
man by whose favor they could make
money? II is to benefit these ''honcst in
stituficRs," as Mr.. EWing-we doubt not
irOaicaliy iy--cais them, that that gentleman
and his friends, are anxious to have the
lndesendent Treasury bill repealed. -
The bill for that purpose has alrdady
passed tho Senate, and is now in the low.
er house Of Congress, and if not already
r peaIed, soon will be. We are 10

was upon us, it is when we say, that BE-,
fore six years roll round, the Independ

when thoroughly understood, be one of
The most popular laws ever enacted by
an American Congress.

grenter length than is usual with us; hu,

much, and which we could not do Justice

o. Our columns to-day are almost
entirely taken up with the able decision
Of the Supreme Court of New York, in
the case Of fMcL.eod.
We are certain this is the most inter :
estng matter We could lay before tho
public; and we are certain that it will be
as IL deserves TO be, eagerly read and adj
mired.
Mcleod must stand riHI! Let there
be no more disgraceful inrermedling with
the course of justice by the powers at
Washington or elsewhere. The senti-
ment of Judge CowEN-"If he hos burn
edit as drSsa- i he has killed, ii Is mur-
er,"-is the sentiment OF every man
who loves his Couty more than he fears
her enemies.
We see it stated that the decision will
be appealed from, in the Court Of Errors
ofNew York, and thence 10 the Supreme
Cjurt of the United Staes, if the former
do not release Mcleod. Ia the name
OF our common country, ana her hitherto
untarnished honor. lei there be none of
this. We have had lawing enough and
too much already to evade law. Let the
law now be enforced, and the ncendia
ry and murderer punished.
The Washington papers are silent in
regard 10 the demand made by Fox for
his passports. Nevertheless, other let
ters from Washington confirm the truth
of the statement. 1t now stated that
our Minister in England, calling upon
Lord Palmerslon, the British Minister, TO
request reply TO written communca-
lion touching The Caroline affair, was
shown q declaration Of war, already
made out, and told that that was bis an
5wor. lfso, he should have demanded
his passports instantly.
From all the facts, we arrive at the
opinion that war is inevitable, unless we

macy has already inflicted. In the lam

Sir; Those residing at distance can
have no adequate idea Of The perlinacity
OF office seekers, their maneuvers TO ap-
proach the President, and the immense
VaDdaI horde who annoy him from the
rising of the sun to the going down Of
the same. Among those now exciting
considerable attention, are three worthless
from Ohio. Do moi suppose there are
but three from that quarier--their name
is legion. The ndivnuals referred to
are plague spot to the President, and
will soon be as obnoxious 10 the heads of
Departments, as 10 the hungry swarm Of
cormoranis who besiege the public ofiic-
es, and are witnesses OF their unbushing
impudence, arrogance, and unyielding
perlnacity. The whig delegation are all
SO bored to death by them.

PAPER AT WEST USIoN-We are in
formed that Gen. Patterson contempates
publishing a democratic papOr at West
Union. The two adjoining counties of
Adams and Highland are now without a
democratic paper, aud such paper loca-
ted at West Union and edited by General
p ,9E,4tlaIson would undoubtedly receive IL
bor'Esggpoit'from the democracy of those
counties, 'ds~belfr are in the same legisla-
tive district. Mr.. Patterson is among
those who have lately been prescribed for
opinions sake; but those who think thus
to silence opposition, will find themselves
greatly mistaken in the result; for never
was there frmer spirit of resistance TO
despotic dictaton than is exhibited by
the democrats lately prescribed, and all
unparalleled republicans, towards the
present federal administration in fheir un-
hallowed attempt TO abridge the freedom
