Virginia is very near the end of the list This
is bad, and we trust she will not be allowed to
maintain that position many years. But that the
North State should be the very lowest in the lite
rary scale, is what we would not have predicted.
We thought she, one of the old thirteen, so mark
ed for her patriotism in the times that tried mem s
souls, would not have been as far behind the
younger States that have been added to the repub-
lican family. While the above table is q source
Of Sufficient modification to Yirginians it is GER
tainy no source of consolation that there is still
lower depth than that reached by their State, and
least OF all is itconsong that North Carolina has
reached the lowest depth.

A New Curreney-Bank Of England Noses.
We notice. in the Western papers, that Bank Of
England notes Of the denomination Of RlO ana
ECO are circulating in New Orleans, Louisville.
and Cincinnati. Col. Benton's prediction when
laboring to destroy good currency and promis-
ing better, is curiousIy illustrated. Instead Of
American gold 1o,cing up the Mississippi, il an.
pears that British Bank notes are setting with
considerable current that way.
These Bank Of England notes have made their
appearance in New Orleans and other places in
the South West for the purchase Of cotton. The
fact itself shows strongly the great need Of ma
tional institution to supply national currency
for ourselves. The miserable huinbug which
such fnanciers as Messrs. Benton, Van Buren,.
and others, Of the hard money school, have been
spreading over the land as the peculiar idea of
the "democracy," is daily proving its own worth
lesness and the dcluson or the ignorance of its
vo,aries. II this absurdity is to prevail to such
extent as to defeat the establishment of a uation-
al institution much longer, it is not improbable
that there will be agencies of the Bank Of Eng
land in every one of our ohof cities-privute a
gencies, OF course, but none the less active on
That account. Let those who exclai,n against \
National Bank ask themselves how they would
like currency furnished by the Bank of Eng.
land.-Bah. american.

THE WINGS OF MASSACHUSETTS.

The Wing State Convention Of this State as
sembled In Fanenil Hall on Wednesday last. II
was composed Of between one and two thousand
delegates, and comprised many individuals from
every part OF the State, distinguished for talents
and worth, and well known for the public servi-
ces which they have rendered to that Common
wealth and To the country. Abbot Lawrence was
President Of it. The following nominations Of
candidates for State Offices were made by accla-
mations
JOHN Davis, Of Worcester, for Governor.
GEoaoS HULL, Of Sandis6eld for Lieutenant
Governor.
1t was then moved by Reverdy Newton, of
Pittsheld, that nominations be made by the Con-
veniion at large for candidates for the offices of
President and Vice President of the United
States to be supported at the next election. This
motion was UNANIMOUSLY adopted, and old Fa-
nenIl Hall rang with the names of
Henry CLAY, Of Kentucky, for President.
JOHN DAVIS, of Massachusetts, for Vice Presi.
dent.
These nominations were received and adopted
amid loud and continued accamatons.
The Convention was addressed during its ses-
sion in animated speeches, by Osmyn Baker, Lev

VERMONT.

The victory is won in the Green Mountain
State! Col. Paine is elected Governor by at
least 1000 majority over his Locofoco opponent
and about 1000 over Abolition and all. Last
year he had but 1900 over Smile, and was 900
under the total vote opposed to him. Wv the
whole Wing State Ticket is elected by the Peo-
pie, inc ludng w. X. Ranney, LIT. Governor. VINO
1t was feared would be defeated by l.. ID. Barber
running on both the Locofoco and Abolition tick
cts. But it is all right. The Senate, loo, which
be decidedly Wing. Franklin county has elect.
ed three Wigs; Chi.ienden one both claimed
against us on Saturday. The HoGse will have a,
least 30 Wing maiority-we hope 10, securing
the election Of Wing u. S. Senator, in place Of
Gov. Crafts, for six years ensuing. The most
desperate eXertions were made by our opponents
greater than in any former year-but the only ef-
feet to increase the vote 5000 from last wear,
and Of course to roll up the Wing majority.

DECISION UNDER THE BANKRUPT
ACT

In the case Of Ezekiel DAVIS, a merchant ow-
ing debts to the amount of $1,000, petition hav-
ing been filed by creditors to whom he owed more
than $500, praying that he mi .,ht be declared
bankrupt, and the question being whether he had
made fraudulent conveyance, Judge Mason yes
terday decided that deed of trust by such mer-
chant, made when he was insovent, for the pur-
pose of giving some creditors preference or prior-
ty over others, is to be considered in contem-
patlon of bankruptcy within the meaning of the
second section OF the Bankrupt Act, and fraudu-
lent within the meaning OF the first section. This
decision is preliminary step TO bill by the as
s'gnee in bankruptcy against the trustees on the
deed, to have the trust fund disposed of ratably
amongst all the bona Gde creditors of DAVIS.
In another case, the same question which is de-
clded by Judge Mason, has been adjourned into
the Circuit Court, to be determined by Judge
Daniel.-CUnDiHr.

Sal mare Remarkable Ruins in Central .ameri-
cG.-We have lately looked over some drawings
made by traveller, recently returned from Central
America, entine the ruins of ancient city,
not yet visited by any traveller, which are per-
haps more remarkable than even those visited by
Stephens and Catherwood They have the same
general character, but their preservation in some
respects is more perfect. The principal of these
ruins are at place called Chichen, situated in
the midst of vast plain, almost midway between
the two oceans. On the tops of pyramids, resem-
bling those which MIR. Stephens met with in other
places, and which lie conjectured to be the bases
Of public buildings, this traveller actually found
massive edifces in state Of tolerabe preserva-
ton. Among them was different from the
rest in possessing circular form, and in being
rounded at the top, in manner somew hat resem-
bling dome. He found walls, vaults and floors,
covered with hard composition bearing high
finish, colored interior walls, sculptures in bas
relief, stone rings for the hanging Of large doors,
and various other evidences Of art and skill i'm the
construction of habtations. We understand that
it is the intention of Mr.. Norman the traveller i'm
question, TO publish an account of his visit to
Yucatan, and a description of those curious re-
mans.-Eve. Post.

LIBERATED AFRICANS.

The Journal of Commerce says:-"When
slaves are captured by the English cruisers, in
stead of being restored to their own country, fam
lies and friends, they are shipped off to the Bit
ish Colonies there to be employed as lahorers.-
Upwards OF 5000 have recently been shipped from
the rendezvous at st. Helena-not one Of them to
the countries from which they came, but to Demara-
ia, Berbce, Jamaica, Trinidad, and the Cape of
GOOD Hope. There may be difficulties which do
not occur TO US, in the way of restoring these un-
fortunate beings to their homes and riends not,
it would seem but STUFFED philanthropy which
Tescues them from being carried into Cuba. and
then sends them 10 Berbice OF Demarara. Cuba is
by far the most healthy and inviting country to
live in, and whether ii would not be better 10 be
slave in that island, rather than half slave in
some British cbarnei-house, is question concer-
ming which there might be different opinions
We have wish TO detract from the credit due to
England for her persevcriDg efforts TO suppress
the slave trade. She is far in advance Of all 9th
nations in this work Of humanity, and we only
desire that she should make it such in fact, and
not scheme for beneltting her colonies"

THf, TREATY.

The N. y. Courier has published the cores
ponlencc between Mr.. Webster and Lord Ash
burton-which is very voiumioous. 1t amounts
to very little more than the Treaty-whch only
settles one 9ueston--and we fear sows The seed
for more future trouble. Except the Northeastern
Boundary, every other matter in controversy is
left in the same state il was, except that we are
required to keep squadron on the African coast,
at large expense, 10 aid Great Britain i'm sup
pressing the slave trade. In regard to other ques-
lions-on some, Lord Ashbur,on said he had no
on others, he conten,ed himself
with re-aiiirmng The British doctrine in its most
offensive sense. This was the case with respect
TO the principle involved in the Creole and the
right OF lmprcssment. In regard TO these quos-
lions, we are no worse Of than We were before.

"We have just learned some of the particulars
OF an awful tragedy, which took place yesterday
morning about the break of day, near Bloomfield
IN this county. A negro man belonging to MIR.
Hence, went to the House Of a Mrs. Mckay, near
the mouth of Plum run, about two miles from
Bloomfield, and deliberately murdered the old la
dy and young man who was living with her az
an overseer and set the house on fire. One of Mrs.
Mckay's negroes is missing, and supposed to
have been burnt up in the house. The perpetr,-
tor OF this atrociOus outrage was taken IN by
party from Bloomfield, and the neighborhood. and
brought to Col. Aliens. about eight miles from
town. While there, Mr.. f. Fl. Mckay (the SON.
OF Mrs. Mckay) came up and shot the negro, who.
