HUMBUG.

Perhaps, if any one thing in the whole
vocabulary Of humbugs IS more nonsen-
sical, foolish, and wicked than another, II
is the cry raised, that return to sound
currsncyin O5io while the hanks in the
neighboring states remain in suspension,
will result in the plundering Of our citi-
zens, and the iajurg of the laboring COM
munity. Hi% ID =
Such, we regret to say, is the belief Of
some men, or at least their aAOwed opn.
ion, but we doubt very much if they have
attained for themselves in this particular
instance sufficient knowledge thereon to
form an accurate opinion! Instead of
Ohio becoming a."plunder grOund," the
precious metals will flow into her midst!
Paper Of doubtful or unusual character
will no longer float about as representa-
tion OF labor, but in its stead the consti,
tutiOnal currency or paper convertible in
TO 1t, which is better, will come, and who
can gsinsay it? Even now. we hear Of
shipments Of specie being made to our
banks from distant eilies, which has been
out on speculation! This will soon be
jinglng in the pockets of the laborer, the
merchant and the people generally. In
stead, then, OF Ohio being plunder
ground, she will be an honest gronnd, set
ting an example to her sister states, con-
vinceing them of the necessity of adopt
ing her policy, teaching to the organs that
cry out for longer suspensions, that they
are pursuing course at war with the
. true interests OF the mass serving only, to
build up the few, at the expense Of the
many2
We will mention few instances illus
trative Of the position taken above
and then let the people heed no more of
this mevcenary cry of Ohio being made
'plunder ground.' The State of Mssis.
sippi all know has had the worst cur
rency possible. Well, the crisis came,
her bank paper was altogether discredited
and now in IFS stead she has the best cur
rency ofany State in the West or South.
Michigan, where red dog and wild cat
money once passed for value, once repre-
sented labor, is now blessed with good
currency, and the farmer receives for his
wheat the same price in good paper or
silver, as he once did IN red dog.
IN New York, where banks pay specie
they have an abundance ofthe precious
METALS, and in fact, in all paris of New
England. Away then with the idea, that
Ohio will lose by a return TO sound
currency. We pity the hireling lickspit-
le that reports II, still more the man who
believes it-Cip. Post

INDIANA BONDS

The following statement on this'subjoet
may prove interesting to many of our res-
ders:
at is stated in the Journal of Com
mercs, that there is over louTNmllliOns Of
dollars in amount Of the bonds of Indiana
which the state refuses to pay on the
ground that no value was received for
them. There are among them three
hundredb bonds for E295 sterling each
numbered from 70l to 1000. The his,
tory of these three hundred bonds is as
follows: bonds with these numbers, had
been issued TO ROthschild, but were not
made payable al any place. This infor
mality was complained of, and new sci
of bonds made and committed to the
Morris Canal Comoany, 10 transmit and
exchange. Instead ofgoing to their prop
er destination, however, these. new bonds
were sold in the New York market. A
third set was consequently made
the exchange was effected, and the infor.
NAL bonds returned to that market, whe re
some Of them were afterwards sold; but
in such,a way it is understood that the
StSte does not object to receive them -
1t lis important that the numbers of all the
rejected bonds should be published"

STOP THE THIEF.

The public is cautioned against two su.
Perfne scoundrels [dutchmen] who came
10 the house ofthe subscriber on the Is
day of last month, and after one of them
having swindled me out of first rate horse
and the other out of fifty FIVE dollars 10
cash, cut stick for regions unknown.
The one who, pretendedly, purchased the
horse, called himself Daniel Smith said
he resided in Reading; Berks Co. Penn.
syvania, at which place his father was a
merchant-he is heavy set small man
with black eyes, and 10 or 20 years Of
age: wore blue casinett coat, and fur
cap, his other articles Of dress not recol-
lecled!
The name Of the other swindler | did
not learn: but he said he was a neighbor
10 smith; and it was he, who obtained the
money from me. His dress was very
similar TO that Of the first; but exact des.
criptioR is not recollectHd.
The above seoundrels came TO my
house in the charac ters of peddlers, put
up and remained about 4S hours, during
which time Smith took a fancy to my
horse and proposed to buy, and finally
agreed to give me $7S 90, for him. The
horse was large, we'll formed Iron gray,
with white hind legs up to the hooks II
hands high, 4 years old this spring, a nat
nral trotter. The other scamp, his
accomplice in crime prevailed on me
to loan him S55, in Indiana paper, for
which he was to give specie in return,
soon after this contract was made they
said that they would be under the neces-
city of going to Columbus for the specie
where they left it in deposit; and that !
might feel entirely satisfied and be per-
fectly safe, they would leave, in my pos.
session, double the. value Of goods, con-
sisting of jeweEry. spoons ct cetera; with
the value Of which, | was not acquainted
but supposlng that was dealing with
honest men, / permitted them after some
hesitation, to leave their goods and pro.
ceed upon their way; since which time, |
have seen nor heard nothing Of them, my
money or my horse. They both spoke
very broken English.
Any person who will detect them, end
give information SO that they can be pros.
ecuted, and the money and horses recov-
cred, shall be literally rewarded by the
subscriber, living in Walnut township,
PicRaway Co., Ohio, IL miles from Cos
