A Coon CURRENoY.-Wel learn from an in.
dividual, in whose veracity and means Of in
formation we have the utmost cofidence, that
the Wooster Bank is paying out at its coun-
ter, the deprecated paper Of the Allentown
(Pa.) Bank, instead Of its own. This is the
way our Ohio Banks furnish GOOD cuRREN-
cY, is il? We have seen it stated that the
Bank of dayton, Ohio, had made an exchange
with one Of the branches of the State Bank
of Indiana-the Ohio bank to pay out the In
diana paper, and the Indiana bank TO pay out
the Ohio paper. Will the people tolerate
Esuch frauds? We were told that we wanted
banks for the erpress purpose Of erpelling the
,corthless paper Of the foreign banks. and
we'll are those swindling shops answering the
ends for which they obtained their great priv
ileges. 1t will be recollected that the Woos.

paper of the bank of Steubenville, just before
that currency factory exploded. But in spite
of all, it obtained re charter with greater
power for evil than it possessed before

your wise men, your sound men, and your
true men, counsel together. Let them pre-
pare the issues for your future contests, upon
the firm and broad base Of everlasting truth
of principle. Do this, resoluiely and
firmly, and you will succeed; but yield to
the suggestions of the Conservatives and you

That excellent representative Of sound Demo-
cracy in Shelby, the Democratic Spark, quotes
the above with the following remarks:
Let those who have stood firm in the
righteous cause Of republicanism, persevere.
Turn neither to the right nor TO the left, but
redouble your zeal in advancing the glorious
principles of equal rights and equal privi-
eges, and the pigmy influence of your oppo-
nents will, ere long, be made 10 disappear be-
fore your giant and overpowering strength,
like the morning mist before the MONDAY

alists, contains no ingredients sufficiently nau-
seous TO sour the feelings OF dampen the
spirits of the true and determined democracy
Of Ohio. Though we have been beaten, by
distractions in our own ranks, yet we are not
conquered; and our shameful defeat, this fall,
will only serve to awaken US from that lethar-
gy and security of strength, in which we ha We
too long INDUCED, and cause US to make our
true strength known and felt in all future

GooDNEss.-Let the misanthrope grumble
as he will, there is many spot 10 cheer tho
path of life. An incident, trifing in itself,
but charmngly illustrative of benevolence
and virtue, passed under our window last
Monday.
A little girl was crying along the pavement,
overburdened by two baskets of chips.
"What is the matter, child ?" said n love-
.ly young lady, in the kipdest accents.
"They are so heavy," replied the girl, SET
ting down the load.
"Tell me where you live, and let me carry
one for you."
She would not tell her residence.
"Wel, my little friendado You take one
basket home, and will stay here and guard
the other till you return for it,"
With bright smile, away tugged the tiny
porteress, and there stood the benevolent h
,dy, the dahghter Of one whose name is an hon
or to the city, whose high sense ofduty, and
whose unyielding integrity, the Chancellor
ship of the Exchequer could not move, "for
modern degeneracy had not reached him."
The child found her treasure safe, and that
charming lady, (God bless her } stepped light
ly on her way, her heari swelling with emo
tions that the wisest and the blest might en-

find it fame."-U, S, Gazette,

2"NEw County OF AUeLAIzE."-The III
ma Reporter has quite lengthy article in lis
last number about this project. We do not
think it necessary to enter upon discussion
of the subject, as it will scarcely go further
than presentation of petitions. The advo-
Gates of this measure have failed to give the
necessary legal notice in this county, and
this they have done to sape a fen ShillingS
the legal due of the publisher. On finding
that the only pay for their advertisements, for
several years, had been uya!flled promises
we demanded payment in advance, and stat
ed what we supposed the amount would be.
Their agent did not require its publication of
US, without we would accept the sum first
named, which, on putting the article in type,
proving less than our legal due, we of course
declined. This is small matter, and our
only wonder is, if they have been as mig
gardly TO their wordy champion of the Re-
porter, why he has given so lengthy an evil
dence of disnterestedness. He is certainly
entitled 10 a corner lot in Wapaukonetta,
whenever it shall become the new county
site. This trihing acknowledgment of his
valuable services will, we hope, be duly
rendered.

of the Treasury, in regard to the Tariff, will

message of the President and Socretary's An

they and their influence are concerned. The
question is, what will Congress do? The

the House, and six in the Senate-large en-

slider how difficult it was to get the Tariff of
lS42 through Congress, notwithstanding the
exhausted condition of the Treasury and the
low state of public credit, which seemed to
demand it, it may not be thou ght very
strange that an early opportunity should be
taken to revise it. 1t is well known that the
Tariff Act could not have passed, but for the
imminent danger in which the government
was believed to stand for want Of necessary
supplies. Many believed that no law exist
ed for the COLLECTION of duties, after the expi-
ration of the compromise act: 1t was amatter
of necessity to pass the bill in the form which
it finally assumed, for there was no time to
perfect it. That the act was not modified at
subsequent sessions, was owing only to two
reasons, viz: a willingness that the principle
and policy should be adequately tested, and
an aversion to legislation on the subject while
the country was on the eve of Presidenia
election. No reason now exists for further
delay. amperfectly confident from all thai
