IIoasErHIEvEs.--An organized band ofras-
Gals are infesting these parts az the present
time. The stable ofour fellow-citzen John
p. Freeman, was broken into few nights
since and valuable pair of horses stolen;
which are described in another column. On
the sans night, the stable ofGeorge Pendle-
ton, was entered, and from the appearance
of bis horses the next morning, no doubt is
entertained but that they were used by some
of the persons concerned in the fhets OF
Freeman's horses, We have heard, also, Of
a theft near Adrian, which took place abont
the same time. 1t is few weeks since nj.
Johnson ESQ.,, and Geo. Breed, had each a
valuable horse stolen by these villains.
A club should be organized TO hunt down

hope, secure The return of his horses, and The
arrest Of the thieves Toledo Blade.

Our "HOme Currency''---The
WAR. sc.

In endeavoring TO explain why the paper
Of other States flood our State 10 the exclu-
sion oflhe vaunied " Home Currency" OF
the Ohio Banks, the Imaginative philosopher
of the Lima Reporter, after glanc;ng at a
partial cause of the influx, tells his readers
that "specie is disappoarng'-and finding
its way to Mexico by millioas for The main
tenance Of the war; and though he does not
in direct terms assert this as u p.ominent
cause Of the flood of Eastern paper into our
State he evidently desires 10 leave that i'm
preston on his readers.
Now it is precisely from the East that this
pretended ebb Of millions of specie to Mex
leo takes place, and it would seem that pre-
csely as these millions become scarce Eas-
tern paper has flowed in greater abundance
to the West, TILL, as this sapien; editor tells
the public, there is prospect Of the banks
breaking! These Eastern Bankers must be
very great knaves, upon his showing, thus
to put their paper in circulation in increas-
ing quantities while the specie for IFS re-
demption was becoming every day less
And il is equally strange that where this
drain of specie is greatest the banks find
means not only to supply their own market
but to crowd out our valuable "Home Cur
rency," created expressly, as we were told,
to prevent the influx of "foreign trash of the
stability of which our farmers could know
nothing"
The fact is, this export of specie TO Mexi-
CO is very grossly exaygerated-the provisions
and military stores, &c. for TIE use of the
amy in Mexico are furnished from our own
country and by our own citizens, and tend to
create specie circulation among us rather
than diminish it; and if il were otherwise it
would only still further expose the hollow

A national CONFERENCE.-The subject
has. excited some discussion, but we have
no1 porceived that any of the northern Dem
ocFaIc journals have held any view hostile
to the union of effort which can alone be
attained by National Convention. With
union the Democracy can undoubtedly elect
whoever they nominate, and when the ac-
tion Of the government for the next four years,
and consequences TO the coun try Of the
highest importance are at stake, the success
of these principles cannot for moment be
balanced by any honest democrat against
preferences for individuals. The contest
will require man pledged to the issues the
Democracy have so long contended for-with
views not bounded by section, but enlarged
enough for the whole Union. Among the ma
ny great names enrolled in the ranks of De-
mocracy, such selection would present
but little difficulty, and with such leader we
can preserve the ascendency of those princi-
|
pies which are now causing prosperity and
general happiness TO our country.
The idea OF fusion of parties, which even
one or two democratic papers pronounce
both "practIcable and desirable" appears to
US visionary in the extreme. Those only
will consent to compromise principle who
have little to compromise, and such an am.
algamaiion would only open the way for in.
fractions ofthe constitution and the introduc-
ton Of a wasteful extravagance, such as was
broached to the country after the close Of
Mr.. Monroe's Administration. We believe
that in the vigilance Of party is the security
Of sound Administration of the govern
ment, and we are desrous for the success
of that plan which shall best unite, preserve,
and maintain successful the party and the
principles we esteem best calculated TO Sc
cure the well-being Of thesUnion.

The PROSPECT OF PEACE.--The N. o.
Delta Of the 30ih ult. says that "according
to information from The city of Mexico, re-
ceived at Puebla on the I'd inst, the day be-
fore the departure ofthe express, the govern
rnent had determined TO appoint three Com
missioners, and that Don Manuel Edward de
Gorostiza, Don Manuel Baranda, and Jose
Maria Tornel, had been appointed to open a
conference with Gen. Scott, who, on his part,
had commissioned Mr.. Trist to the same eff
feet"
1t is to be hoped that the Mexcans are
sincere in their desire for peace. Some ap-
pear to think however that this is only pre-
tence for delay. If this be so, ii will moi
avail them much as Gen. Scott's reinforce
ments will arrive in the meantime, when if
negotiation fails, he can march upon and
reduce the capital.

ten the consequence ofthe collision. When
this war commenced had one united spirit
guided our counsels--had our differences
been confined to our internal policy--Mexi-
co would have succumbed to treat before

conquest would have been stilled by the glo-
rious spectacle of decided and united peo.
pile. The spirit of faction, however, has
proved more potent than patriotism.
But we do not fear either dishonora bic
peace or war of conquest. There is too
much virtu in our people to permit either
