THE TALLMADGE FESTIVAL.

Let those who have congratulated themselves
on the prospect Of discord in the ranks of the
Republican party, read the patriotic sentiments
expressed at the "Tallmadge Festival" and
find consolation if they can. Instead of jealou-
sizes, heart-burnngs, and discontents foretold by
the Loco-focos, they will find, while the highest
compliment was paid to the New York Senator
and his compatrots, that the spirit Of union and
concord presided. If the sea was troubled, as
pretended, the speech Of the Senator, and the
numerous and very excellent letters of his friends,
threw are abundance of oil upon the waters
We anticipate the most happy effects from this
festival-it furnishes assurance of harmony and
union among the friends of the Administration,
and compels Loco-focoism to gnash its teeth
with chagrin and disappointment. We are in
debted to "the Times" and I" the Express" for
the report eff the proceedings.

The debts TO the United States Bank, from citizens
OF Cincinnati, are among the assets assigned for the
benefit of tho Philadelphia Banks and notice has
been given that immediate payment must be made.--
IL thought that time will be required to meet the
gagements for the present made between the United
States Bank and the debtors. Another serious and
interesting question arose, whether the assignees
would receive the notes of the United States Bank in
payment of those assigned debts. On this subject
the Cincinnati Gazette quotes the following extract
from law of Ohio
"That in all suits or actions, prosecuted by Bank
banker, or persons claiming as their assgnees, OF
under them in any way for their benefit, the Sheriff
upon any execution in his hands in favor of suct
Bank or banker they his assignees aforesaid
shall receive the note notes Of such Bank banker
from the defendant, in discharge of the judgment"

The Business Charlottesville great objects of
this Convention which assembled at Harrisburg
Wednesday last, have fear, been defeated by the
jealous activity Of party spirit in the election of the del
egates. The result is comparatively small body and
probable discord in that. This city and county
left entirely without representation, except in the
shape Of volunteers. Ii is sad TO see great State
like this allowing her life to be ,rampled by tho
coven hoof of party faction.-Norat American.
