The following exciting paragraph is from the New
York Times and Evening Star


Governor SEWARD has issued his proclamation, Of
ering reward of $3.50 for detecting the persons who
removed the cannon from the depository in Cayuga
county and for the detection Of those who eoniousy
carried off quantity Of gunpowder from the magazine
at Lockport. We do not remember any period since
the late at which more incessant vigilance was re-
CURED in watching the movements of evil disposed
persons than at the present time in this State and we
are gratied in perceivng that the Governor sensible
Of the important responsibility now devolvng upon
him. is actively and firmly performing his duty. There
be doubt that persons secretly employed in
attempts to get up another attack upon Canada, and
organizing for that purpose in various parts Of the
State and stealing powder and to carry their
plans into operation at suitable time. We must be
prepared for whatever retaliation the British authori
ties in Canada may fit to attempt upon our from
tiers for this infamous attack from country actually
al peace with them. They not to understand the
peculiar character of eur State and National sovereign
ties--they have only to look to the Federal Govern
ment for the enforcement of treaties and if they are
az ain attacked from lines it is be pecled that
they will not only defend themselves but carry the
war into territory, and then the war will become
general
1t is a cruel position of affairs that whole country
may be plunged into by the acts of few awlcss
depredatos in this State who beyond the reach of
authority or protected by numbers to defy the
powers of the General Government. We look for
some outbreak about the period Of McLeods
trial and becomes absolutely necessary to embody
force in the vicinity where he is about to be tried
as to ensure his safety and the peace Of the country
If the sympathsers prefer Selling upon Navy Island
again, and making that their head quarters the Br-
fish will be able TO protect that spot which is in their
own territory. II they will have war let them wage
it upon their own responsibility.

THE X-MEMBERS PUBLICATIONS ABB
BREVIATED.

We should more readily incline to suppose
there might be some reason for the retirement
of the four members of the late Cabinet, il they
could agree on such reasons among themselves.
But, unhappily, they entirely differ. Each
has ground Of his own and no sooner does
one come forth to show his course, than another
follows with a different showing
Mr.. Ewing, who leads of, rejects the Veto,
as ground of resignation, and goes out on 'per-
sonal indignity."
Mr. Crittenden follows and having no COM
plant to make Of "personal indignity," he goes
out on the Veto.
Then comes Mr.. Badger, who does not go
out on the Bank question, but because the case
is one of "a measure embraced, and then re-
pudiated, efforts prompted, and then disowned,
service rendered, and then treated with scorn
and neglect" That is to say, Mr. Badger re-
signs because the President trifled with his Ca
binet. s
But now hear Mr. Bell:
"Nor was it because the President thought
proper to trihe with or mislead his Cabinet as
there is but too much reason to believe he in
tended to do, in the affair of the late Fiscal
Bank, that resigned my place. There were
other, and pre-existmg causes for such a
course" &c.
What those "other and pre-existing causes
are, or were, Mr. Bell does not inform us.
In regard to those, the world is yet to be en-
lightened.
Placed in the shortest form, each gentleman,
with his cause of resignation, stands thus
Mr.. Ewing, "personal indignity."
Mr. Crittenden, ''Veto."
Mr. Badger, stirling with the Cabinet"
Mr. Bell "other and pre-existing causes"
Or the matter may be fairly represented, by
stating each one of the several alleged causes,
and seeing who concurred in 1t.
In that view the case stands thus
Personal Tndignity, assigned by Mr.. Ewing;
not alleged by any body else.
Veto," assigned by Mr.. Crittenden; express
ly renounced by the rest
"Tniiing with the Cabinet" the substance
OF Mr.. Badgers ground; expressly repudiated
by Mr.. Bell, and alleged by nobody else
"Other and pre-existing causes,- ALLEGED bv
VI. Ae'' 'o " " hooouy else, and Of
which the world is yet in utter Ignorance.
We cannot suppose that these gentlemen
have the weak affectation, each TO give a sepa-
rate reason for himself; and since they do 80
entirely differ among themselves, we think the
inference fair, that there was no plain, substan.
tial cause for breaking up the Cabinet, such as
the public mind can readily understand and jus
tiiy.
Time will show what opinion the country
may come TO; but Of one thing we feel entirely
confident, and that is, that when the passions Of
the moment shall have passed away, the reveal
ing If Cabinet secrets for the purpose of attack
ing the President, will appear to be proceed
ing only worthy Of universal reprobation and
condemnation

PROCIA MATIONI

WHEREAS ii has come TO the knowledge Of the Go

Lodges Clubs or Associations exist the Northern
Frontier that the members Of these Lodges are bound
together by secret oaths that they have collected
fire arms, and other military materials and secreted
them, in sunIry places and that it is their purpose to
violate the laws Of their country, by making military
and lawless incursions, when opportunity shall offer
into the Territory OF Power with which the United
States at peace; and whereas is known that ira
yelling agtators from both sides the line visit these
Lodges and harangue the members in secret meeting,
stimulating them to illegal acts and whereas the
persons known TO levy contributions, on the
ignorant and creduous, for their own benefit, thus
supporting and enriching themselves by the basest
means; and whereas the unlawful intentions Of the
members Of these Lodges have already been mani

Extract of letter written by son to his father in
this city, dated
New YoRK "Wednesday Sent. % /

New York, Wednesday, Sept %, 1sil
suppose you are all quiet enough, now that Con-
gress has adjourned. Here all is business and bustle
noise and confusion. 1t is said that more business
has been done here this Fall than any other for num-
Der Of years. The passage of the Bankrupt Law be-
gins already to show its good results. Numbers who
have not heretofore dared to show their faces in the
business part of this city, have already made such ar
rangemens with their creditors to be enabled to he
gin anew. John Tyler is truly fortunate man. All
speak in his praise for his frmness integrity and
foresight. His firm opposition TO bank, that though
it may not have been intended, yet might have been
used foi speculative purposes has gained him hume
rous friends in all classes Of society, and may add
from all parties His popularity is spreading like
"a fire in one Of our Western praires." Nothing
can stop it. He is looked upon as the true guardian
Of the peoples interest. The most bitter Loco Focos
admit that he has acted with the greatest discretion
and wisdom; and if he had not repealed the sub
Treasury, until some other plan had been devised for
the safety of the public money, they could have found
fault whatever with him. This is all they have TO
harp on, matter think, very trifing in ITSELF We
shall not have very spirited election this fall for var
ous reasons Politics at stand still. In fact, the
people have got all they want. They are now salts
fed, and all efforts, either Of the Opposition Of the
disappointed officescekers TO defeat Mr. Tyler will
prove abortve He is just such want,
and unless he commits very great error, he is
secure and triumphant.
EWING has done himself infinitely more harm than
good in the letter he has published They say, why
should all the leading projects of the Wings be forced
into hurried operation few days-time ought to
be taken to consider them. Rome was not built in
dayand the best of projects have points which, If
left unguarded, may prove of injury than bene-
fit to the people. WEBSTER has also gained great po-
pulary by remaining at his post His views Of things
as they are, have extended horizon. He and
knows that all will right. He stands manfully
at his helm, unfinching, and well knowing that in
union and in union alone, there is strength. He il
neither to be frightened by the devices Of the opposing
party or to be taken in by the craft cunning Of
piring, but broken down politicians | may wind up
by assuring you that the acts Of the present Admins
tration meet with the approval Of alias have said
before, the people satisfied notwithstanding the
grumbings and discomfort expressed by some disap-
pointed journals and ofice-seekers.

itselfto the good sense Of the entire Wing party
The Indignation meetings which have been
held, and the proposed convention in New Y ork,
are all premature and suicidal. Never, never

more foolishly, than very large portion Of the
Wings are now doing.

1t is plain enough that the ex-Secretaries take
the President at great advantage.
They write him letters which they know he
cannot answer, because the President Of the
United States cannot enter into such cores
pondence.
They use weapons, therefore, which they
know he cannot use.
In the next place, they undertake to state
Cabinet conversations, which he regards as
confidential, and to which he cannot refer, with
out violating his own sense of proprety and
dignity.
Having thus placed the President in posi-
ton in which he cannot defend himself, they
make war upon him; and this, we suppose, will
be called hgh-mindedncss and "chivalryn

1t is said that MIR. Tyler, in voting for Mr.
Clay, at Harrisburg, committed himself in ia
vor Of Bank. If this be true, then Mr.. Clay,
in voting for Mr.. Tyler as Vice President, COM
mitted himself against the Bank. For if MIR.
Clay was known to be in favor of Bank,
Mr. Tyler was equally well known to Mr.. Clay
to be against it.
