We have neither time nor space 10
treat at much length on tho supposed
honorable liability Of the state to pay
these bonds, and should regard it, as
supererogatory if VIC had orhnving shown
in the course Of our remarks, that these
bonds were not only Issued in violation Of
The great charter Of our liberties, but in
express conrraveniion Of the declared will
and instructions Of the people, as set forth
n'the original charter ofthe bank, 10 which
alone, the, gave their approval, and that
consequently said bonds can in nowise be
regarded as the bonds Of The state, We re-
gard it as a legitimate conclusion from
these premises, that there is no principle
in the -misconstrued laws Of honor
which renders il obligatory on the state TO
pay the bonds, and we are confident that
those who pirate so much Of the states
honorable liability to pay, would not them.
selves practice upon this, their cherished
principle of honor.
Our next position is, that II would he
ILLEGAL, immoral and dishonest to tax the
people 10 pay these bondsi and upon this
position our space requires Us 10 be brief.
1t would be Illegal because the lovyior Of
a tax to redeem the bonds, would be n
ratification or recognition Of an act done
as we have shown, in violation Of the laws
of the state, ard Constitution Of the United
States, whio recognition would OF course
he no, less Illegal than the original con
tact. II would be immoral because by
evying tax for that purpose, we would
force the people, to pay debt contracted
in the grossest fraud and in violation o
that sacred instrument which is the pal
ladium Of their liberties, and which they
are morally bound 10 preserve invioIate
And finally il would be dishonest, hecaus.

THE sACs AND FOXES.

abounds in Elk and Bulfalo. "The off.
Ger IN command of the Dragons saw about

the Dragoons half day to cross the

says:
"On Friday morning the Iudlans were
assembled at the Council House, and Mr.
Crawford, Superintendent of Indian AZ
fairs at Washington city, in accordance
with his instructions, made a proposition
to the Indians, which was Briefly thls:-
The Indians were 10 cede all their lands
to the United States. The Goyernme
on being assured Of such cession, promis.
ed to convey the Indians to the north, and
give them place on the land recently
purchased from the Sioux by Governor
Dolly. For their safety, Government
promised TO erect three Forls and man

THE LATE ELECTIONS.

The result Of the eleclines this veal
are as cheering as those of the last vert
d'scOuraging. Thousands who honestly
voted with the wings last fall have be
come disgusted alike with the means then
used and the consequences of the success
OF those means. They SEQ that instead
OF seeking the welfare of the country.
those then elevated to Office have been
solely engaged in promoting selfish ends
in schemlng for The retention of their
IlI'gotten power, and sacrificing the best
interests OF the country 10 the goading
ambition of demagOgues. Let selfish
politicians learn from the past n lesson
They may be convinced that though de.
ceptIon may gain temporary ascendency
1t will he sooner or later detected, and the
fall Of those who practice il, will be a.
disastrous as their rise was ignobIe.-
Those who will not acknowledge the
people TO be of sufficient intelligence and
sagacliy to govern themselves, must reap
the reward Of their own ignorance and in
credulity by being defeated in their at.
temPts TO ride over those Of whom thew
have formed so erroneous and contempti
BILE an opinion.
We regard the result Of the State cleo.
ions just held as an emphatic disappro.
'atIon of the Proce edings Of the extra
congress- and particularly Of the attempt
o charter another United States Bank.

To PREVENT PITTING BY SNAIL Pox,
Dir Midawain, Of Client, has found that
Sulphur Ointment is preferable to Mel-
curial in pilting by Small Pox. He en-
ployod it successfully in sixteen cases,
and found it equally efficacious in preven-
ting the maturation Of the peslule with
the mercurial preparation, while its ap-
plicaliOn is moi attended with the same
danger 70 the patient. He employed it
of the strength Of one and half to two
drachms Of flower of sulphur to each
ounce Of the lard-the smaller propor-
tons being used for the variolous affec-
tons, the larger for continent smallpox.
The whole body is rubbed with this three
times daily; and the sooner the applica.
tlon is made after the appearance of the
eruption, the greater is the chance of its
speedily arresling its development. The
pustules shriveI and dry u under this
treatment, the appetite speedily returns,
