Marcy VS.. Mackenzie.

1t is a curious coincidence that Mackenzie,
who stole and published the private letters of
Mr. Hoyt, should have made public those of our
able Secretary Of War, by whom he was actually,
some years ago, saved from the gallows. About
the time of the Canadian troubles, when Mr..
Marcy was governor of New York, Mackenzie
was demanded of him by a requison of the
governor of Canada, on charges of murder, ar
son, and mail robbery, under treaty providing
for the surrender of fugitive criminals; but Gov,
Marcy took the most favorable view of the case
for Mackenzie, and construed his offence into
rebellion, with which he could have nothing to
do; thus saving the fellows neck from the rope
A pretty return he makes for the compliment!
And while upon this subject of coincidence,
we may state that, four or five years since, bun
die of private letters written by the editor of the
| Tribune on various political matters, to General
| Harrison, and persons about him, were put into
the hands of Governor Marcy, then at Washing
ton; who, however, seemed to have been toe
much of a gentleman and man of honor 10 take
the mean advantage of making public the conf
dental communications of his political oppo
nents, and therefore counselled Their return tc
the place where they bad been careIessly left
There were nearly two hundred of these letters
some Of them referring to rather curious move
ments on the part Of the triumphant wings.

The Society Islands.

1t appears from proclamation of M. Bruat, the
French Governor of Oceanca, furnished to our
government by Commodore Parker, that Ralatea,
a small island to The norhward and westward Of
Papiete, dislanll2O miles, where Queen Pomare
now resides, had been placed by the French au-
thoriles in a state Of blockade. MI. Chapman,
our Consul at Papiete, states that The blockade
would not prevent our whale-ships from going
into The port for supplies; and, in conversation
with Governor Bruat, previous to the promulga-
tion of the proclamation, he was assured that, in
The absence of our cruisers, our commerce 10
these islands should be protected by the French.

The Stolen Letters.

The New York Gazette, in an article strongly
denouncing the publication of Mackenzie's pri-
vate letters, says:
"The papers, as we are informed, were remo-
we'd from Mr.. Hoyt's law office to the Custom
House, while he was collector of the port, for
safe keeping They were enclosed by them
selves, and not with public documents as has
been asserted, in a wooden box, which was lock-
ed, Mr.. Hoyt retaining the key, and marked 'Pr-
vate Law Papers of Jesse Hoyl' The key of
that trunk has never been out of the possession
of Mr.. Hoyt, but violence has been made use of
to effect an entrance into the trunk, and enable
the perpetrators TO abstract the contents. When
Mr.. Hoyt was displaced as Collector, this trunk
was left behind, in the full conviction, we pre-
sume, that its contents were as safe as if remo-
we'd back again to his private office. Mackenzie,
who was appointed to Office by Mr.. Van Ness,
was put in this room, and when his patron was
suspended as Collector, he, too walked out OF
the Custom House without waiting for dismis
lsal,n

From a letter from the Marshall and High
Sheriff Of Oregon, who has been there fifteen
years-TecsiVed few days since, dated 18th of
April, written to bis brother in this county, we
make few extracts:
"Last year | raised 1900 bushels of wheat

vgation, worth half as much as the county you
live in. have large building in Oregon city
that cost me about $1,000. have also proper

the head of ship navigation. | have besides 70
head cattle, Is head of horses, 300 hogs, 2 dogs,
Cat, 3 children. and the old woman, with chick

"Wth regard to the honor heaped upon me in
this country, am High Sheriff and Territorial
Marshal of Oregon II have been going around
the circuit together with the court officers, and
have TO start TO the mouth of the river in the
morning to The county Of Clatsop. We have five
counties in the Territory, viz: Clankmas, Yam
hills, Champoick, Twaty, and Clatsop. AS to
our connection with the United States, we are
almost independent of Uncle Sam. For some
time past haye been taking the census--the

The New Bank i'm Cincinnati.

We understand that, in the new bank about to
be started in Cincinnati upon the ruins of the
old Mechanics and Traders Bank, the notorious
John Ii. James has subscribed three hundred
shares. We do not understand this mode of an
individual being the principal stockhoder in the
old Urbana swindling shop, which blew up and
left thousands of its worthless trash in the hands
|of the people unredeemed, and these same stock
holders and presidents, in three years after the
explosion, starting new shops of the same sort,
10 go through the same operation, and subscribing
three hundred shares, amounting to THIRTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS. But we do know, that if a
merchant had failed and left large amount of
notes unpaid in the hands of his creditors, and
started an extensive store three years afterwards,
and called it his own, he would have had TO pay
those old notes, or have his new store sold out
by the sheriff, unless he had taken the benefit of
the whg bankrupt law, and this we have not
heard of John II. James doing; but here he is per-
mined to invest the proceeds of the old Urbana
swindling shop at Cincinnati, which will no doubt
end in the same results 10 the people. But if
the people suffer themselves TO be swindIed by
any concern that James has hand in, they GER
tainly ought not to be pitied If experience
learns them nothing, then we do not know what
will. How long will it be before the owners of
the Galopolis and Granville swindling shops
will be for starting new bank from the pro-
Iceeds of the old carcasses of those concems?-

Thunder in the Copper Region.-Itisa a sngu-
lar fact, says western paper, that in the neigh
borhood of the Lake Superior copper mines, in
the Porcupne mountains, from a hill six miles
from La Point, comes a sound like repeated dis.
charges Of artillery, which on clear days is heard
distinctly. The agent of the American Fur Com
pany once imagined the noise to proceed from a
ship belonging to the company, in distress, and
sent boat to the rescue. The Poreupine noun
tains are fifty miles from La Point. 1t is suppo-
sed there must be zinc and other metals incorpo-
rated in the copper, and closed up in the noun
taips, which give out the sounds, The Indians
have a tradition that this sound, with which they
are familiar, is the angry voice ofthe Great Spi,
rit, enraged that the copper should be disturbed,
and for this reason, although familiar with rich
beds, they refuse TO reveal this knowledge.

AMecdote OF Generau jackson.

A letter from Pensacola says taat gentleman
sojourning there has amused his leisure hours in
bunting up the Legendary history of that place,
and has picked up the following:
General Jackson, during his exploits in Flori.
da, wishing 10 get the most accurate information
Pensacola, loaded up an old country
wagon with chickens, and under the guidance of
an Indian, in the disguise of old clothes and a
long beard, made his appearance there as ped
lar of rare species of game chickens. Having
demanded very high price for his game cocks,
he was long enough in selling them to gain a
pretty thorough knowledge of the place without
being suspected. Whether he succeeded in sell
ling his chickens or not, he certainly succeeded
in the principal object of his business.
If this is true, it is singular that it has not be-
fore found its way before the public; but there
are old citizens he, who vouch for the story, and
as every reminis cence respecting the 'Old Hero
is interesting at this time, | give you this for
what it is WORTH

AS we are writing, Tuesday evening, we be-

congregated on the public square. Some have
voted, and others are making their way up to
the polls to deposite their ballots. What fine
field for meditation is here What an exempl-
fcat.on of democracy do we now behold! Here
the high and the low, the rich and the poor, meet
on one common platform. There is no aristocra-
cy on the election day. That poor creature who
is half fed and half clothed, may be passed by
in silence by the wealthy arstocrat, but the vote
of the one is Just as potent as that of the other.
Every man shonld vote as his reason and judg-
ment honestly dictates. The ambitious asprant
for Office who attempts to purchase vote, or ex-
ercises any undue influence whatever over the
mind ofa single voter, is not too good to commit
perjury or any other species ofcrime. The bal
lot-box should be pure,--man's mind should be
free. It is not democratic to deceive a voter
that species of eectioneering should be left to
those who have no faith in the people, and who
are daily trying TO bring popular governments in
to ridicule and contempt. The pure breeze of
heaven should circulate aound the ballot-boX,
iuted hv the corruntinu breath of the dema-
gogue. There is no right half so dear to the
American citizen as the right to choose those
who will make and administer laws, and when a

Of this state, without distinction of party:
'We again assure the New York News, and
know well what we say, that no party in Ohio,
BY whatever name known, but would instantly
vote down the proposition to increase the public
debt Of Ohio; and there is no ground for alarm
on that account, whatever the News may think
or say TO the contrary. Our efforts are directed
to reduce the existing debt, even by the interpo-
sition OF new and severe taxes, ifrequired to et-
feet that object. Ohio will never repudiate, nor
will she increase her public debt

better feeling will hereafter exist amongst the
democratic editors of this State. During the
last three months, we filed away number of pa
pets for the purpose of commenting on certain
articles contained in them, after the election had
terminated; but we now hope there will be no
necessity on our part to say what we intended,
