BRILLIANT VICTORY


We learn from The Detroit, Michigan Fee
Press, that an election took place in the city
on lhs ith Instant for justice Of TIM peace, and
that the Democratic candidate was elected bv
3S2 majority Notwithstanding il was made a
party question by the Wings as will be seen
the following appeal made by The Clay organ
of that clh:
"Whigs Rally. This day is the election of
two justices OF the peace. we call upon our
Whig friends one and all, to turn out Let not
vOter, who regards The administration of justice
in this city, stay al home."

STAY LAW IN PENNSYLVANIA This state
has followed the example Of Michigan and
some other OF the ives eEn states by The pas

law provides that neither real nor personal
properly shall be sold under execution within
one year af or it shall fail, on trial, to bring
two thirds Of it's apprised value but requires
the debtor to pay up the:arearages Of inter.

same and on The debt. semi annually, during

Riot in Canada. ..>On the the 4lh OF July,
a regular outbreak occurred among the Irish
laborers on The public works near Queenss
town. A body of Corkonians attacked anolh-
er body of Connaughts and Fardouns, and
drove them from their work. The next day
the ConnaughIs returned, 250 strong armed
with fire arms and shellalahs, and in turn
drove off The Corkonians. The military was
called out and the disturbance finally quelled
but not until number Of persons had been Sc
verely injured.
Brokers Used Up.->The Court of Baltimore
has decided that the law imposing a tax on
brokers', embraces all persons who
have heretofore been known as brokers', or
who buy and sell bank note bills, stocks, &c.
To be full broker in this state now, it would
require license for three separate branches Of
the business, amounting 10 $1,000 per aRum.
This none of them will pay; the business may
therefore, be considered suspended. That's
the way to get rid Of the blood suckers upon
