More British "Annexation.,,

The English have added another very important
slip of territory to their immense possessions in In
dia. The King Of Denmark has sold to the English
his territories in India, after possession of more
than 200 years. for the sum of 10000 rix dollars
These territories are the town of Serampore, the
river Hagh, in the Bay of Bengal now Calcutta, and
the town and district of Trankebar. Serampore is
town of 13, 900 inhabitants, well built in the Euro
pean STYLE and it has hitherto been the residence of
the Governor General Of the Danish possessions in
the Indies 1t is pleasantly situated and the neces
saries of life being cheap there, it is much resorted
to by many English families, preferable resi-
dence to Calcutta. Formerly, during the wars be-
tween Great Britain and France, neutral port, it
enjoyed great advantages for commerce, and it be-
came extremely rich The advantage of this dstinc-
ton it has been for long time deprived of and by
the present transfer of its flag, it will of be
permanently lost if there were before any prospects
of its being revived. 1t has been for many years
the principal seat of the Baptist Missionaries in
the East, and Of that great establishment for the
printing of the Scriptures in all the languages of
the East Tankebar is situated on the coast of Cor
omandel, in the kingdom of Tanjore. 1t consists of
small territory for which the Danes have paid to
the Rajah of Tanjore annual rent Of 1000 sicca
rupees, from the year 1910. 1t is town of $4,000
inhabitants, independent of those in small sur
rounding territory, handsomely built, the European
style with fine Streets and large houses two three
stories high ornamented with porticos. 1t was the
residence of governor who was subordinate to the
General at Serampore.

English house Of Tayleur, Jamison g. Co.. who bad
taken similar drafts for claims of their own. The

government does not pretend that is released from
the payment of these drafts, and will pay

by an illness of two months from writing to his gov

Ohio swindling Bank League.

The league Of rotten and swindling rag money
mills, dignifed by the Wings of the Ohio Legislature
by the name of State Bank and Branches" has been
organized at Columbus, Ohio, by the choice of Judge
Swan as President, and J. T. Caypool as Secretary.
Alfred Kelley, who was the father of the law, and
who intended to be the g head devil of the League
repudiated by the rest of the gang, we learn
from the Ohio Statesman.
The following article on this subject, we extract
from the Ne,O York Morning Neues, paper distin-

and ability:

DECREASE OF MARRIAGEs.--It is curious fact that

Swapping.

We caution the Democracy of this county against
the trickery of the Wings of every description. One
game intended to be played off, is, to get votes for
their candidates for representatives by promising to
vote for our Congressional candidate. Do no such
thing. They knoW they cannot elect their Congress
man, and no doubt many of the leading Wings will
vote against him vote at all. Hence do rot be
deceived in swapping; but vote for your worthy,
able and excellent candidates.

The Apparent and the Real.

The protective tariff laws have always been framed
with design to cheat and deceive those who are
robbed by them. TO this end duties are in many In
stances imposed on weight and measure, instead of
cost, and iice rersa. The per centage actually paid
articles of common use, exempli6ed by the fol-
lowing table, carefully made for the N. Y. Post, by
personal enquiry, and a comparison of invoices

BEAUTIES THE TARIFF. - Attention has often
been called before to other Beauties of the Tariff
contrasting the high duties imposed on necessares of
popular consumption, with the low on Injuries
which find their market only among the rich. We
have before the article of Lace noticed it
is done by well informed correspondent of the N. Y.
Post, as follows:
The article wish to refer to is that of ldce.
Every family throughout the country less
of the article of lace for trimming and other purposes
Silk lace is expensive, and few but the really wealthy
can use it in any great quantity. Cotton laces are
cheap, and are used by every female who has not
means of purchasing the silk article. Now see how
these tariff makers have managed to throw the tax,
the burden of this great article of consumption upon
the poor and almost entirely exempt the rich few
days since, saw an invoice Of the silk lace amount
ing to one thousand dollars, which weighed twenty
pounds. 1t pays duty by weight, at the of 80
per pound. Of course, the whole amount of duty on
the invoice was but $50 OF five per cent. / at the
time invoice of cotton laces, amounting
to one thousand dollars, which paid duty of 500,
OF 20 per cent. Let state 1t thus: The rich, In
buying thousand dollars worth of lace, pay tax
to the Government of only $50. The poor mid
ding classes, in buying thousand dollars worth
of lace pay tax to t,ie Government of $500. And
this is the tariff SO Just in ITSELF so equal in its bene
ts and necessary the prosperity of the country
Its justice but robbery its benefits but cruelty and
wrong Let its iniquites be swept from the statute
book.

Dear Sirs: The prospects for Democracy are
good, at this time in Wabash county, and also IN

gress- He has been with some time past, and
made very good impression. His views are clear
and sound TO- the core Sample had been here before
him, but made no impression. Whiggery is rather
retrograding in our county, and we expect to give
good account of ourselves on the FIRST Monday IN
August. have heard no complaint against President
Polk by the Wings except that he removed Mr. Lewis
He did right, Iewis's course since fully proves.
He was DESTROYS of remaining in Office for lfe.-EDs
The Wings have changed their tone in relation to
Gen. Jackson since his death. One Of them told me
he believed the General was always honest in all he
did, and strictly so but that he had been mistaken
sometimes. You can't uiink how well we felt when
the news came that Gov. Dorrswas liberated. Our
hearts eaped for Joy. 1t is healthy in Wabash, and
crops better than BEFORE particularly wheat and
corn. Grass is very light. Yours r.
