A FUNNY PETIrIoN.-A very worthy
young man made his appearance before the
aims house commissioner, on Thursday
morning last, with a request that he might
be supplied with child which he was anx-
ious to adopt He was accompanied by
his wife, who was so full Of fun that she
could hardly confirm herself The hus-
band did all the talking, and said that they
were both exceedingly fond ofchidren, but
their anticipations in regard to becoming
parents were gloomy in the extreme. The
kind hearted commissioner smiled upon the
petitioners, and gave them an order for the
last founding picked up in the public high
way, when they departed very much elated
with their success.-.N Y. Erpress.

Fighting against God!

Three months ago we carefully laid q.
way the paper from which we copy the fol-
lowing paragraph. 1t comes in very good
play now as the whfgs talk OF making Gen.
Taylor their President. The Journal is
conducted by George D. Prentice, the lead
ing whig editor in the Vest
"We have said that this nation is the ag
gressor. Let US not be accused Of hostility
to our country, Of moral treason, of giving
aid and comfort to the enemy. Let US moi
be told of the maxim, "Our country right
or wrong" This, as maxim Of self dc
fence is indisputable-self evident--it is
sell love expanded into patriotism-se de-
fence expanded into national defence. But,
in any other sense, we repudiate all such
principle as infamous in ethics or politics.
He who will not speak the truth is a liar,
and he who dare not is coward. He who
will not or dares not tell his countrymen
the truth on questions Of the most vital
public policy, is coward or traitor. And
if there is any conduct which constitutes
moral treason, ii is an attempt to embark
or to encourage The country in A WAR
AGAINST GOD, as is The case in ,var
of aggression like THAT IN WHICH WE ARE
NOW ENeAeED."-Louisville Journal, Jan.
10Th ls47.
u The above Is strong language, and
the sentiments are worthy of lasting re.
membrance. The editor charges that the
United States are waging IA WAR A.
GALNST GOD" The hero of this war
is General Taylor,-and as a reward for
his bold and successful management of this
"tcar against God," some Of the federal
whig papers say he must be made President
Of the United States. Patriot
Portage sentinel. [volume] (Ravenna, Ohio) 1845-1854, 1847-04-28

whom it seems, he trusted. They cannot
convict the President of provoking the war,
by an i'll advised movement; and yet acquit
Gen. Taylor of blame; when for six months
he was pressing upon the Executive his
counsels to adopt that very plan of oper-
otions;-he upon the ground, and the Presi-
dent two thousand miles away. They
must strike at both these officers; and in
proportion as they persist in dealing their
blows, must the heaviest Of them fall npon
their own favorite.
We repeat that both were right; both
acted for the interests Of the country, and
the enforcementof the laws; and the history
that thus connects them, at once demon
strates the motive, and the utter destitution
of principle and patriotism on the part Of
their assailants.

Under the new directions given by Mr..
Walker, as Secretary ofthe Treasury, and
the jealous cooperation of the able direc-
tor, DR.. Patterson, it is believed the coin
age at the Philadelphia mint will reach
three millions of dollars month-chieAy
in gold. 1t is fully believed, that during
Mr.. Folks administration, sixty millions
Of dollars will be converted into American
Coin, being, in four years, more than one
half of the amount Of the ffy.ive years
preceding. So much for democracy and
hard money! Washington Union.
SIXTY MILLIONS OF the hard coin in
four years! The peoples government is
making hard money for their use, and the
banks lock it up and issue their shinplas-
ters to supercede it. This is one of the
glorious operations Of banks. If the banks
did not stop the circulation Of gold and sill.
yer, the people of the United States would
soon have the best currency the world ev.

Mill PROPERTY BURNr-On Monday
last, Nc Cure's mill, four miles northeast
of New Lisbon was entirely destroyed by
fire. The building was six stories high,
and at the time of the accident, nearly six
thousand bushels Of wheat were stored with
in its walls. The mill belonged to Mr..
Thomas Hawkins, of Elkrun township,
into whose possession it had come only a
short time previous. 1t is said that some
twelve hundred bushels Of the wheat belong
ed to Mr.. Thomas Mccoy; FIVE hundred
bushelsto Messrs Hanna and McClymonds;
and one hundred and sevcnty-Gye bushels to
Col. James I. Caldwell and his father.-
We are told that there are but few persons
in the neighborhood who have escaped
without some degree Of loss. There was
insurance neither on the mill nor its con-
ssp,s. --,Nsv Liy50n Patriot

IT KILLED 'EM!-The federal papers in
New Hampshire are making bitter com.
plants respecting the result Of the election
in that State. The Concord Courier scolds
the party leaders as follows:
"They knew that they were taking a
course in regard to the present war, in
which the country is unfortunately engaged,
which was separating the greater portion
Of the old war democrats from The whig
party-they knew they were asked, yea
implored, in the name and for tho sake of
she whig party, TO- pause III their mad
career"

WISCONSIN CoNsrlrUTIoN.--The Con-
stitution lately formed by the Convention
of Wisconsin, has been rejected by the
people by a majority Of from 600O to 5000
votes. The constitution provides, among
other things, that no banks of Issue should
ever be created--no State debt over the
sum of 100000 should be created without
the sanction of the people--forty acres of
land, or village lot not exceeding $1,000
in value, was secured from forced sale
the real and personal property of the wife
acquired before or after marriage, could
not be taken for the debts Of the husband.
The questions decided in the contest, and
which decided the fate of the constitution,
we understand from the Rock County Dem.
ocrat, 10 have been the 9th section of the
bank article, which prohibits the dealing
in bank paper-the "Homestead exemp,
tion," and the section securing to the wife
the property which she may have acquired
from being sold for the debts of her hus
bands contracting.
