A BITTER REpoRT-The Boston Post, speaking of the allcdgsd fraud upon Pennsyl. vania, says:
 The whigs have short memories. They carried the policy which they allege was practised on small scale in Pennsy ylvaDia, all through the whole Harrison campaign and on mammoth plan. As an instance take their national bank professions. At the South the wings opposed this institution; Rives, in Verginia, made out the whig can- didae an anti.bank; Ewing in Ohio, char. ged that the assertion that the whigs want ed bank was democratic libel. And so downwards to the Buckeye blacksmith, who with credulous honesty believed what the generals of the campaign sad. Yet the car dina measure when in power was the crea. ton of this very bank. And when Tyler put upon their bill his patriotic veto, the wbigs declared Tyler traitor. and that their Her culean effort had been lost-.-lheir cup of prosperity dashed. What was there then but deception here. Again take as another illusll aiion this subject of the Tariff. Who does not remember that one of the chief in gredients of the Northern speeches was Van Buren's hostility to the tariff; the whigs s- legged that he was out and out free trade. At the South where votes must be had 10 elect Harrison, the whigs used the very op. posite means to get them. There Van Bu. ren was represented as the reverse of free trade. Preston made out Van Buren more of protectonist than Clay. snd Rives made Harrison genuine free trader. Yet these immaculate whigs were not conscience struck at all in this business. Where they now so evidently strain at gna', they then swallow camel. tf -..e

 1. The general rule in regard to contracts is, that where the legal interest and the damages resulting from breach of the contract is joint, the contractees must all join in an action thereon, although the contract be in terms joint and several :; but if it appears from the deed that the interest is several, although the covenant is in terms joint, the action must be sev- eral.
 }. There is nothing in our statutes forbd- ding attachment bonds to be given jointly. All the defendants where there are more than one are equally liable to the plaintiff, and equally exposed to the burden of de. lending the suit, and for this purpose must be considered but as one person in legal estimation.

The people of South and East Alabam

The people of South and East Alabama. are complaining very Justify. because Gov. Fhzpairick's vacancy as Bank Commission CT, was not filled by one whose residence and acquaintance. was such as to insure . knowledge of the business transactions of lhe Montgomery Bank. It is maintained that the llw appointing commissioners, contemplated the selection of one from each section of the Slate-North. East and South Alabama, whereas, by the appointment of Judge Clay. East Alabama is wholly pro- scrihed. There is some plausibility in this ground of complaint. we are pleased howev- er. to see, that in the discussion of this sub jeci, DO reflection is cast upon Gov. Clay. No objection is made to Mm, but il is con- tended that some one should have been ap- pointed in his place. who resided near the Montgomery Branch. and who might have knowledge of it's business concerns.

 l. By ,he 2Olh section of the statute of 1903, Clay's Dig. l56, the words grant, bargain and sell, are adjudged an express covenant to the grantee, his heirs and as- signs, that the grantor was seized of an indefeasible estate in fee simple, freed from membranes done or suffered from the grantor, except the rents and servi> ces that may be reserved, as also for quiet enjoyment against the graDtor his heirs and assigns unless limited in ex. press words contained in such deed and the grantee, his heirs, executors, admins. trators and assigns, may in any action as- sign breaches, as if such covenants were expressly inserted.
 3. Where one is declared bankrupt who has previously executed mortgage of lands--he cannot defeat the mortgage by setting mp an interest subsequently ac. quired by himself the successful assertion of which would be breach of his war. ranty.
 3. Where mortgagor has by his deed i'm, pliedly asserted right to pledge the pre-. misses by conveyance in fee, he shall not be allowed to insist that he had less estate, and whatever interest he after wards acquires, shall vest in the morlga- gee to make good the title, which he pro- fessed to transfer.
 4. The bankrupt law expressly excepis from it's operation, all liens, &c, which were valid in their inception it therefore seems to follow, that the rights and rem. edies of "a mortgagee in respect to mort. gage. executed by the bankrupt before bankruptcy, are wholly unaffected by it 1; and that the relation of the parties re- mains undisturbed though it may be conceded, that as the debt cannot be re- covered by action, after the mortgagor' s discharge as a bankrupt, all prvity be. tween himself and the mortgagee has ceased to exist.
 Reversed and remanded.
 GOLDTHWAITE, J,-Waiving the consideration of the other point, prefers rcs- tlng his concurrence in the reversal, upon the ground, that the implied warranty estops the mortgagor bankrupt, from setting up a title acquired subsequently, to the execution of the mortgage. to defeat his mortgagee or the complainant who claims by assign ment from him.
