The $4,000 Rribe!

Mr.. George Handy, of Philadelphia, has been
imprisoned by the House, for refusing to testify
his knowledge whether the officers Of the United
States Bank, or any body else, had blibed the Le-
gislature or any other Department of the State
Government, to procure the passage Of the Sus-
pension Resolutions of1s40. Mr.. Handy refused
to testify on fhe ground that his admissions might
be brought forward to his injury in criminal pros
ecutlon now pending against him in the Court Of
Quarter Sessions in Philadelphia. This, we take
it, is pretty conclusive evidence that the $4,000
he received from the U. S. Bank, was not dis
posed of in the most unexceptionable manner IN
the world If it had been fair business transac-
ton, he could have possible fears in disclosing
the factsor the rectitude of his conduct, la that
case, would protect him from all harm. Besides,
as soon as the Legislature passed Resolution,
ordering the Attorney General to withdraw the
criminal prosecution, after he had testified, he
came forward and expressed his willingness to
be sworn, and tell what he knows. The exami-
nation was to have taken place on Friday, and we
NAV therefore soon expect detailed account OF
the whole matter All we have TO say is, let the
truth be told so that the people may know which III
ANY, of their public servants permitted themselves
to be tampered with and influenced by money.

American Prisoners i'm WexicO--VaT
Vessels Ordered--POsitiO of the
United States.

The rumor Of our Washington correspondent
of Tuesday, proves 10 be not without iounda-
ton, and we are now warranted in positively
asserting what we could not before vouch for,
notwithstanding the general correctness OF our
correspondent that the Cabinet are actually In
motion concerning our relations with Mexico,
and that several vessels of war are 10 be sta
toned in the GuI ph of Mexico without delay.
The Secretary of the Navy has already ordered
the steamer Mississippi to that point; she will
proceed hence TO Vera Cruz, and remain in
readiness to act a, a moments warning, should
occasion require it. This fact, in connexion
with the additions now fitting out for the aug
mentation of our naval strength on the coast OF
Brazil, cannot but be taken as indicative of pre-
paration fo9 brush In that quarter should 1t be-
come necessary, and it is evident that late trans
pira,ions have made such an event not at all
Improbable The American prisoners now
confined in Mexico may give rise to conlro-
versy between the two countries, which may
render the presence Of an American feet in the
GulPh necessary.
II is rumored in Washington that several COM
panies of The U. S. Army are to be Immediate
ly stationed on the frontier of the United States
and Texas, with view 10 preserve the viola
bili,y Of the former and lha, they are 20 be fol-
lowed by others, and that strong military post
will be established there.
This stir and activity wears somewhat war
like aspect, and shows The readiness Of our Ca
binel To look out for the interests of our ciiizens
IN thai quarer-this is a spirit that will be
lauded from one end of the country TO ihe other.
Ii is not at all improbable that the Uuiled States
may yet become involved in the struggle be-
tween Texas and Mexico. There is power
full sympathy at work in the United States, in
favor of the Texans, and rancorous detesta-
tion Of The treachery of Santa Anna. This SYM
palhy is exhibiting itself in large public meet
ings in favor of Texas-in raising money, mu.
n,ions, and men, TO aid them in their anlicipa-
ted struggle. This, when known in Mexico,
may provoke retaliation upon our citizens there
which must inevitably involve the Two countries
and, shou,l such an event take place, what as
surance is there that England will not at once
side with Mexico, in her abolition crusade, and
perhaps France with the other side, and thus
prove the commencement Of sanguine war
The collision Of Texas and Mexico may thus

ANOTHER EXCITEMENT.
The Caroline Outrage Again--Nr. J.
s. Hogan I'm Rochester JaiL.
APRIL /, 5 o'clock A. NJ.


Last evening, warrant was granted by justice
Buchan of this city, for the apprehension OF John
Sheridan Hogan, Esq charged with having been
one of the destroyers of the Caroline, and Of no
party who killed Amos Durfee and others.
Mr. Hogan whose motions are said 10 have been
carefully watched, both here and in Canada, was
speedily arrested, just as he was starting for the
country in carriage-he having arrived In the
Gore few hours before from Toronto
He was carried before Police Justice Warner,
and committed to Jail for further examination till
four o'clock this afternoon.
Some persons expressed doubts as TO whether
he is really the person, as he was in some degree
disguised;-but if he actually is Hogan, his par--
cipation in the Caroline Outrage is matter Of no
t0riety.
He behaved with spirit al the Police Office
asked no faUors--required no friends-but placed
his trust and confidence sin the power OF his coun-
try-the wooden walls of Old England" nd"-adding
my government can protect me-"
The complainant was General Theller, and not
w. l.. Mackenzie, as has been wrongly stated.
We understand from several persons that love
affair has involved him in this difficulty, which is
very probable. At any rate there does seem to be
a lady in the case

Postage on Newspapers.

The Hon. Thomas Henry, Member of Congress
from the Mercer and Beaver District in this State,
offered resolution, few days since inStructing
the Committee on Post Offices and Roads, to in
quire into the expediency of abolishing all charge
for postage on newspapers, within the limits of
the County where they are printed. This is an
important proposition, and one which deeply af-
fects the interests Of large majority of the cit-
zens of the Union. According to the present
scale of prices, the farmer or workngman who
lives five miles from the seat of Justice, (where
the papers are usually published,) must pay just
as much postage to receive the news of his Coun-
ty, as is charged on a paper brought one hundred
miles, and from another State. This is not right,
and should be remedied. Several attempts to
abolish postage on newspapers, within the Coun-
ty where they are printed, have heretofore been
made, but for want fenergetic action fell through.
We sincerely hope that such will not be the case
now. Every countryman is deeply interested in
the matter, and therefore should not permit it to
rest 1t is no more than right that he should be
enabled to receive the news of his County, without
being taxed by Government for the privilege, as
well as the inhabitant of the town. Let them Pc
ttion Congress then in the matter, and backed by
the almost entire press of the Nation, they cannot
fail of success.

The District Court and Bankrupts.

The Hon. A. Randall, recently appointed by
President Tyler, to preside over the u S. District
Court, of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in
the place ofthe Hon. Joseph Hopkinson, deceased,
has so far recovered from the indsposition, which
prevented him from Immediately assuming the du-
ties of his appointment as TO be installed into Of
fee, and to make arrangements for receiving the
Petitions of all who may be disposed to avail
themselves of the provisions of the New Bank
ruPt Law. }. D. MoRRIs, Esq, has been appointed
Commissioner to prove debts and take examina-
tions in all cases which may arise in Monroe
County. We have not been informed which pa
per here has been selected for the Bankrupts to
advertise in, but presume therefore that that honor
has fallen TO the Democrat" Well, we have
no objections, if it turn out to be So for the Court,
we suppose have fixed price which Will secure
the applicant from imposition; and if there are
any Bankrupts among US, 1--WE have not learned
of any Jimmy Rafferty, must stick little closer
to his Office be little less lazy, and get his pa
per out little more regularly than he has hereto
fore done, if he wishes to serve them.

The Allentown Bank.

Owing to the very large circulation of notes of
this Bank in our county, and the unfavorable light
in which they have been viewed for several weeks
past. heavy losses have been sustained by the
holders in order to pass them. Many ofther notes
are in the hands of those who not able to keep
them, and the best they could do with them was
to have them shaved by our BROKERS at from 20 to
80 per cent. This discount is heavy burthen,
and is severely felt by those whose circumstances
compel them to come under it, The people OF Le-
high are doing all they can to sustain the Bank,
The millers and merchants of Allentown, and in
the county of Lehgh generally take them at par
for goods Some of the millers offer their flour at
25 per barrel less than the price in the city,
and take Allentown notes at par in payment. We
see also, by the Allentown papers, that Mr.. Runk
adyertses for $4,000 dollars Of that money for
which he will give the very best security. Wig
