THE CURRENCY.

A public meeting was held in Cncin.
natl on the Sd instant. at which the follow.
M resolution was adopted:
"ReSoired, That in the present state of
public opinion, and the extreme dcpre ssion
Of all stocks, there can exist no well foun-
ded expectation of the re-estabishment of
a National Bank, and that as nothing short
of an institution based upon the crcdi, Of
the Nation can restore public confidence,
regulate exchange, produce and preserve a
sound currency, and serve, al the same
time, as fiscal agent for the safe keeping
and diSbur'ing of the public money, we
consider some safe and efficient plan of a
National Exchequer Of great and para.
mount importance to the country"
The Cincinnati Gazette, speaking of the
meeting at which the above resolution wa.
adopted says: After the object of the NEE
ting was stated by the Chairman, speeches
were made in defence of the Exchequei
scheme, by ID. Raymond, N Guilford ant
JOS. Ingraham. The two former advoca

adopted, il would furnish safe circulatin!
medium, and at the same time destroy al
State Banks; the latter that it would regu

The spirit Of the meeting was good, a

currency question free from politics an

1--WE feel somewhat sorry for our
neig,bor. He is continually placing him
self and his party in very awkward posi-
lions, by his objectionable bunders. A
short time since he placed the Junto of this
place in a very ludicrous position, by ex-
pressing, in strong terms, Il preference for
Calhoun for the Presidency. By the as
sis,ance of several of the wire. workers, he
backed off in a manner that caused no lit
tie amusement to his readers and the public
generally. Shortly after this, he attacked
Judge Wells, for his ecision against The
Bankrupt Law, and srs,rnngly advocated
that law, that the Junto had again to inter
fere, and he finally got out of that scrape.
by introducing al the late locofoco meeting
IA resolution declaring the law unconstitu
tional and unjust. But the worst is to
come yet. It's known that at the meeting
above alluded to, Col. Benton was nomina-
led for The Presidency. by his own man
agemcnt, through Gov. Reynolds and DR..
Lowry. 1t was intended that the next
Democrat should state that the move was
entirely unknown to the Col, and that he
desired nothing of the kind. This was
left for Robinson, who did it in such mon.
key manner as clearly showed that Benton
was privy to the whole movement, bu,
merely wished it for the purpose of some
future benefit. He then comes out with q
preference for Col. Benton for the VIZ.
Presidency in 1914, thereby knocking If

pected to accrue from the management OF
Col. B. and Gov. Reynolds, which The latter

SPORTS OF THE SEASON.

We gave notice in our last that Mr.. FISK
had started on bear hunt. He, however,
did not reach Linn county, bu, fell in with
a company of hunters in the upper part of
this county. Somewhere in the ncighbor-
hood Of Roanoke, Il large Bear was star ted
about three O'Clock in the afternoon of
last Monday, and after giving chase until
about nine o'clock in the eve ring, bruiu
was finally captured, near the farm OF
Judge Wiley. 1t weighed four hundred
and fifty pounds and was in fine order
Mr.. f. says the meat was delicious, and
that he is strongly tempted TO move oul

sure of occasionally feasling on bear meal,
but will also be enabled t. spend the leisure

sion allow him in the exhilaraling and OK.

THE MEETING.

In our last we gave "A condensed account
of the democratic meeting held in the
courthouse at this place on Monday, the
7th inst. In the Democrat of Tuesday

ceedings of the meeting.
The creed Of the party is briefly set
forth. admitting the fact "that God created
man and placed him upon this earth as lord
of the SOIL" and asserting ''ihnt man is by
nature equal" con'lemning the policy of a
"prntectve tariff, considering il unjust. un-

was to lay before the public the following
resolution. introduced by E. w. RoDIvsoN,
the present conductor of the Boon's Lick
Democrat. 1t was introduced after the
reading of the "creed and constitution"
and, according to the report Of the Secre-

NOVEL DECISION.

At the present term of our Circuit Court,
Judge Morrow presiding, negro slave
was brought into court charged with hav-
ing forged an order on one of our mer-
chants; and the Indictment was quasled
on the ground that negro could not com
nit forgery. The reasons which deter.
mined this decision were not very clearly
stated, but his honor was understood t.
say that by the constitution and laws OF
the country, negroes are not recogn wed a.
persons, any more than any other animals.

Till it could 40 delight impart,
Nor spread one cheering ray!
He came too late. Al once he felt
That all his power was Ger!
Indifference in her calm smile dUelt-.
She Thought Of him NJ more!
Anger aud grief had passed away.
Her heart and IhunghIS were free:
She met him, and her words were gay
No spell had memory!

Of love were all unbpund--
Mo- by off nr' at spoken words,
Rn by The sIighrs that w0unn!
She knew thar life had nothing now
That could the past rrpay.
Yet she di~dnined the larhy vow,
And coldly turned away!
He came toe late! Her myriad dreams
OF hope had long since flpWn;
No charms dwell in his chosen themes
Nor in his whispered tone!
And when with voice and smile he tried
Affection still TO prove,
She neryed her heart with woman's pride,
And spurned his tickle love!

HARD WINrER.-The New Hampshire
Courier announces that the approaching
winter is to be the hardest we have had for
thirty years, and bids the farmers prepare
loril. Allsigns concur in presaging hard
winter. The squirrels and partridges are
mrving south, the onion skins are very
thick, and the goose bone, which is always
to be relied on, indicates that the middle of
winter will be unusually severe.
