"TRouBLE IN WARRINGTON. is
something TO laugh at, as well as denounce,
in the. proceedings of the Tylerites in.
Washington, A special correspondent of
the Madisonian appears in that paper yes
terday in a letter from Browns Hotel, sta
ting that "whilst the President was absent
from Washington, some selfish and design
ing men" in the East, "did most miraculous
ly succeed in ousling from office several
of the truest and most efficient friends of
President Tyler, and liberal supporters Of
the government paper" This correspon-
dence has seen two of the victims. and they
still remain friends of the administration. "
But these selfish and designing men," moi
content with turning out of office the Ty-
Ter men, "were very busy in circulating a
report among those remaining in office
throughout that region, that those who
were known as the supporters of the Mad
sonian, would by means of most myste-
rioIs influence, soon share the fate of those
lust decapitated" u! .,.
There are few things more ridiculous
than this. The supporters of the Madiso-
MAN" prescribed by Tyler tor such sup
port !! .'
The Madisonian is indignant at this. and
is sure that all injuries inflicted on his friends
will be repaired by Mr. Therapeutics
hereafter that no friend will be removed
without cause-lhat all will "be shielded
from molestation," and then the official
journal adds: 't
"As for the supporters of the Govern
ment paper being forewarned of the mach.
nations of our enemies, we shall endeavoI
TO be forearmed. Let them pay no atten
ton to the Misrepresentation of the ira
ding politicians. For our own private
convenience, we shall draw off and keep
! by us list of the names of our valued
supporters"
What an interesting list must these "val.
ued friends" makel If an office holder
would be safe, he must get his name on the
list. Once registered among the valued
friends" he may bid defiance to all the
Vaccinations of Spencer, Henshaw, and
their party. He will be supported by the
Madisonian, and cannot be struck down.
As the possession of troops of friends" i:
regarded as a matter to be boosted of. per.
haps the Madisonian will consent to add its
list to the next edition Of the Blue Book
1t would be an unfaiing guide to the office
seeker, and whilst it might save from mo
les,ation" the "valued friends" would point
out, as an index, the vulnerable recipients o.
official patronage .-T Bait Patriot.

HoRRID MURDER AND RoBBERY.--The
New Haven (Conn.) Herald, of the 25ih,
has the following account of a revolving
murder committed near that place:
A most horrid murder was committed in
Middetown, Westfeld Society, Ct, upon
the person of Mrs. Bacon. wife of Mr..
Eben Bacon, a respectable and wealthy
farmer of that place. Mr.. Bacon went to
Church Sunday morning with all his fami-
Iy, except his wife, and did not return until
after the evening service was over. When
he returned, he found his wife wel,ering in
her blood. She lay upon her back in the
centre of the room, her skull crushed in,
her face horribly mutlated, her throat cut
and seven stabs in her breast By her side
lay butcher knife, some keys and three
chairs, which were broken and bloody
Two of them were covered with fragments
Of her flesh and hair, used in beating her
over the head.
The walls and floor were covered with
blood, evidences of frightfu, desperate fe-
rocity, she in defending herself from the as
saults of her savage murderers, and they in
their diabolcal exertions TO overmaster
this heroic, but i'll fated woman.
1t is supposed they found her alone, and
in attempting to rob the house, she resisted
them, and becoming exasperated, they com.
mitted the diabocal and most brutal muir.

She is represented as an estimable, but
courageous woman, of large frame and just

esteemed, the whole family being member.
Of the Presbyterian church. The house
was robbed of $75.
Two persons named Bell and Robert,
have been arrested at Middletown on sus-
picion of being the perpetrators of the
horrid deeds. ..n.

A TEMpERANcE SToRY-Two young
men "with humming in their heads" re.
tire late at night to their room in crowded
inn; in which, as they enter, are revealed
two beds; but the wind extingushing the
light they both, instead of taking as they
supposed, bed piece, get back to back
into one, which begins to sink under them
and come around at intervals in manner
very circumambient. but quite impossible
of explanation. Presently one observes
TO the other: ny,
al say, Tom, somebody's in my bed
as therel" says the other; $50 there is in
mine, DIN himl Let's kick 'em out"
The neat remark was
Tom, I've kicked my man overheard
"Goodr' says his feIlow-toper; "better
luck than /; my man has kicked me out
right on the floor" ,l.a.
Their 'relative positions" were not ap-
parent until next morning.

THE U. S. SENATE.

Two or three weeks ago the Loco Foco
papers were in great glee at the anticipa-
ted resignation of two members of the u .
States Senale--MR. KALAMAZOO of New
York, and Mr.. MERRIcK of Maryland
thereby giving them chance to get pos
session of that body. But even this hope
is lost to them. Mr., Tallmadge authorized
the National Inteigencer to contradict the
story so far as it referred to him. And
now, as regards Mr.. Merrick, authority has
been given to the Kent (Md) News TO put
an extnguisher upon that hope also-'Col.
Merrick, if alive and able TO reach Wash
ington, will certainly take his seat in the
Senate on the first Monday in December.
And he declares, that although sincerely
DESTROYS to retire TO private life, he shall
not do so at time nor under circumstances
which would be disadvantageous TO the
Wing Party, or capable of being tortured
into the semblance of infdelity to his po.
litical brethren.

The Loco Focos of Dadc county had a
meeting at the Court House in Greenfield,
on the 2nd Sept, and resolutions in favor
of "the well tried patriots and statesmen M.
Van Buren,, of New York for President,
and James X. Polk, of Tennessee, for Vice
President" were passed. Itmay be as well
to say, as giving some idea of the charac-
ter of the meeting, that Judge Ruth was
appointed chairman, and Colonel Coffee and
Major E. d. Mckinney Secretaries; and
General Finch explained the objects of the
meeting. Major John S. Phelps addressed
the people in favor of Mr.. Van Buren,, and
Major J. p. Campell in praise of Colonel
Johnson. The vote was taken. and Mr..
Van Buren, received GO, and Col Johnson
81 votes. This meeting recommended a

THE DEMOCRAT.

The long agony, we believe, is over, and
the old Boon's Lick Democrat is about to
come out again; shorn, to be sure OF It's
senior patronymic, but still, par excellence,
sthe Democrat" Why its new ostenslbe
manager has fallen out with its Blooms
Lick" appellation, we do not know, unless,
indeed, he aspires to the high distinction OF
speaking the sentiments of a State rather
than those of very respectable district OF
country. Be that as it may, however, we
take it he will do particularly wei! If he
succeeds in personitying the feelings and
wishes of majority of the party to which
he processes 20 belong in the country in
which his paper is located.
To us, whose position makes us COOKERS
on here in Vienna" there is no little subject
of amusement in the manner in which this
new paper finds it way into existence. One
after another editor has been crowded out
of the concern, until the establishment be-
came SO sickly that it required the utmost
skill of the learned Doctors who have it in
charge to keep il from the final agony. 1t
is now, truly, resuscitated, but whether it
will bolster up the Doctors, or whether they
can throw into its weekly system sufficient
vitality to keep soul and body long together
remains question which Time onI y can
elucidate. Our own impression is that ono
Doctor will not give it the most lcholeSom'
medicine, and that another will not find il
sufficiently potent to accomplish the lone
thing needFur' for him.
OF the new editor, Mr.. HALL, his &C
quaintances speak well. We shall see how
he gets along with the clique owners Of hi
concern The scriptures say ''no man car
serve two masters" Mr.. Hall may. by
obliging satisfactorily the half dozen pro
prietors Of his establishment, give the lie t.
what has heretofore been considered gooC
authority. Nous UerrOnS.
One thing we ought not to forget to say
about the prospectus which our new edito
has issued; it is that he makes no ''declara
ton of principles for the public eye" fur
Their than that his paper is TO be democratic
a term which in Missouri we have learne,
to know means any thing or everything
The clique folks, however, need have n
fears about its course-it begins under aus
pieces which will control its action afte
their way of thinking.

A BANK--A REPUBLICAN
MEASTRE.

Mr. McDuffie, in his celebrated Report
of 1880. held the following language about
the late Bank, and the Congress which in
corporated it; r
at may be said without disparagement.
that an assembly of higher talent and purer
patriotism, has never existed since the days
of the Revolution, than the Congress by
which the present Bank was Incorporated
If ever political party existed, Of which,
it might be truly said, that, ''all the ends
they aimed at. were their country's," il
was THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY of
that day. They had just conducted the
country through the perils of war, waged
in defence of her rights and honor; and
elevating their views far above the narrow
and miserable ends of party strife, sought
only to advance the permanent happiness
of the. people. 1t was to THIS GREAT
END. that THEY established the present
BANK"
Again, in the same Report, after abiding
10 the recommendation of Mr.. Madison,
Mr. McDuffie continues:
"The Bank being now recommended by
a REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION,
was carried through both branches of Con
gress, as A REPUBLICAN MEASURE,
by an overwhelming majority of the RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY"

made payable to order, and bearing inter.
est of one-tenth of one cent per hundred
dollars are ready to be issued. They will
be filled to one uniform endorser, and over
the endorsement, on the back, they will be
made payable to the bearer, in specie, on
demand, in this city.
The size Of the note corresponds with
the old Treasury notes, having for Wig.
nete the American eagle, with wings
spread ready for lofty flight The figures
on each hand of the eagle are encrcled by
the coat of arms of each State in the I'm.
ion, entwined SO as to form a beautiful
wreath. The engraving, which is done by
the celebrated house of Rawdon, Wrighr

Early in October they will be issued
The law governing them does not permit q
smaller denomination than fifty dollars.

columns, is one of the most interesting and
powerful he has recently made. He dis.
cusses in an able and profoundly philosoph-
ic manner the relation Of the TARIFF to the
