will be seen that Mr. Dlnham and Mr..
Clarke, from this district, eoied dgdiast
indipidual responsibility of stockholders
in banks, We think they will find il ex,
lremely difficult, when they return home,
to convince their Constituents that thei2
votes on this subject were consistent with
their duty to the public. Had they, 10
their stump speeches before the election,
told the people that they would, it elected,
vote against all attempts to make bankers
individually liable for their debts, they
would undoubtedly have been rejected
by an overwhelming majority. These
votes were given just after the failure of
the bank of Galipolis, whereby the peo.
pie of Ohio had lost hundreds Of thou
sands of hard earned dollars; and the
constituents Of Messrs. Durham and
Clarke had come in for large share of
this loss. They now find the paper in
their pockets as worthless as rags can
be, without any remedy against those
who have lawfaly robbed them of the
properly they gave in exchange. Yet
Massrs. Dunham and Clarke would de-
ny them any reliefn similar cases under
the new system; for The safety fund prin.

boats crew, Midshipman Henry also
joined The party. His intention was TO-
obtain some provisions that had been
promised by the chiefof the island the
day before.
They had just made their landing when
the natives rushes upon them from an
ambush, in great numbers. Lieut.. under-
wood and Midshipman Wilkes Henry were
killed as they were endeavOring 70 secure
the retreat Of the men, in which they,

succeeded, but 81 the cost OF their own
lives, Their bodies we're rescued from the
