there is what is called fit matter, and solid matt

profit, while in the former there is good proft.
In order that he skolli not make TOO much, a
contract was male with the State printer when
elected that the price of solid matter should be
cut down, and tie fat matter left. tc make up the

LYNCHlNG.-A most singular act oflynch-
ing has been 2erpOtrutc2 at the Orherlin Theo>
logical Institute, in Ohio. A young man mans
ed Norton, suspected Of being the author Of
certian dsCredllable anonymous letters TO young
ladies ofthe Institute, was entrapped and de-.
tected. Twelve of the members of the Inst.
tute secured the mans person, gagged and
blindfolded him, and then inflicted twenty-five
lnshes on his bare back, with cowhide. They
then directed him to leave the town for thwith,
without going TO his room. Perhaps the Stan~
gest part ofthe affair is, that the pious young
men engaged in it opened their proceedings OiA
prayer.

On the 10Th December committee in the
Georgia Legislature, made arepor on a protec-
tive tariff, which concludes with the following
resolutions:
Il. Resolved That any tariff for the pro-
ton Of domestic labor, is unconstitutional and
unjust.
2. Resolved, That while we will submit
10 impostS commensurate to the wants OF the
government, we deem any further increase of
such duties an usurnalOn offederal power, and
an imposition worse than colonial oppression,
and, as freemen, we cannot, will not, submit to
