The excitement 10 our city is abaiing
All signs Of violence, we hope, have dis
appeared. On Thursday evening another
large crowd assem bled in the vicinity of
the Office Of tile National Era but no
violence was attempted. The common
council Of the city had taken some active
me asure for arrcsting any riotous out
break. MIR. Lenox, the acting mayor,
(CoI. SeatoD, the present chief magistrate
Of the city, being confined TO his room BY
severe indisposi,ion,) had issued in the
course of the day calm and tranquIlliz
log bulletin, appealing to the love Of or
der that prevails 10 Washington, which
happily contributed to have the desired
effect. The police we're on the spot, aud
all the constituted authorities performed
lhe,r duty, and, by their 6rmness aud
prumptitude, have saved the peace and
character Of the city. All Is now quiet,
aud the excitement has happily substted. :.

THE BANKS.

1t is decidedly wrong to COMPEL the inno>
cent to suffer with the guilty. The Democrat,
who desires no banks, and who is in favor of
the sound currency, gold and silver, ought not
to loose one cent by the robberies of shaving
shops, established to rob the industrious, la
boring porttion Of community. Let those
who advocate the rotten, robbing system bear
the burthen of its wrongs. No principle
no law can be right or safe that guaran ees
to any man or set of men, the privilege of
issuing three dollars for every one he is, or
they are worth. The principle itself is wrong,
and the pratice so long severely felt, all most
every rational man is willing to admit it to be
an evil that ought to be remedled--a curse
that our country might rejoice to get rid OF
The robbings of the Wooster bank has been
severly felt by community at large, while at
the same time, particular ores have been en-
tirely ruined by it. Let all banks have their
proper doom and we will never thereafter hear
of the desoation and misery they have so
frequently caused.
Have not the banks enriched few persons
Who were connected with them, while they
caused many to suffer, and entirely bursted
others? Have not banks robbed more people
than they ever enriched! Would it not be
better for men in moderate circumstances to
keep clear Of banks than to be ruined by bor-
rowing from them! Who but bankers, ever
got an accommodation from bank without
pyaing ,oeu for! These are questions, which,
ii men would properly examine into and an
swer candidly, would say that banks are no
longer necessary.

REMARKS OF WILLIAM ALLEN.

The following remarks were made in the
u. S. Senate, or the Interesting and exciting
intelligence from France, by Hon. w. Allen
This like every thing else that comes from
that man, is good, and contains great deal
more truth than poetry. How it will suit the
Wings who think we have no right to sympa-
thise with France, we cannot say:
"One great truth has been established with
in the last forty days; and pronounce it one
OF the most important truths which has been
politically established since the foundation of
society, and it is this: that armed men no
longer afford a guarantee to despotism.-
Standing armies can no longer be relied on
sustain thrones; but on the contrary, mix
and mngle with the oppressed multitude, and
are the first to reduce those thrones to ashes.
That is the great truth of the age. 1t has
Just been established in France established
in the presence of hundred thousand bayo.
nets in the pay of the crown.
There are but two powers in government
of man now in operation and public
opinion. Force has failed in the heart of Eu
rope, and the governments there must forever
rest upon opinion, and that opinion founded
upon the enlightened reason of the people,"

NEWS FROM EUROPE.

The news from Europe is so interesting and
important that we give much of it in to days
paper. The glorious principles of freedom
and equality are rapidly progressing, and the
people are taking things into their own hands.
The power of Kings can no longer be sup
ported by standing armies or money, as the
great revolution in France has shown. Look
at the union Of the people and the army on
that most glorious occasion, and then you
must see that the minds of free thinking
people cannot be controlled by monarchs,
when once properly set in motion. Freedom
must sooner or later crown every oppressed
nation. The bands Of the ensaved have
commenced to burst, and the tide like lightn-
ing, will keep flashing until 1t will sieze eve.
ry down trodden European and set all men
upon the wide platform Of equality.

THESE ROTTEN BANKS.

1t is Necessary for the people TO look out
for d break up among these cursed robbing
institutions. The Wings may tell you i'll
all a locofoco alarm, as they did about the
Wooster bank. The Democrats gave you
the alarm IN nearly every case in time to save
yourselves from the ruin; but the opposition
told no danger; the bankers told You all was
right, when they knew they were lying.
Let US advise you to not keep on hands any
length of time, the paper Of the Sandusky or
Norwalk banks. The following notice from
the Ohio Statesman is worthy your attention,
for it was through that watchful sentinel that
you first received the news about the Woos-
ter burst up:
"Sandusky and NoroDlk Banks.-We
received two letters this morning concerning
the above banks. One from Mansfield, stat
ing that the impression is strong there that
they cannot survive the run upon them, and
that the people should be on the lookout in
stating that pacard handbils were posted up
in that city few days ago, warning the peo-
pie to BEWARE of the sSandasky and
NorwaM paper. The letter from Cincin-
natl is not from politician, but states that
strong suspicious rest on the bankers them
selves for getting up this handbll-we mean
these connected with the State Bank. This
is the opinion of the gentlemen who writes
us, and his hopes are, that some information
may exist in this cHy to prove it on them
We give the above information as we get ii.
It is evident that there is some movement GO
ing on that the people know very little about
but the length and breadth, the depth and
scope of it we are net able to state. We
think our friends, and those who feel free to
do SO who may not exactly be classed under
the .erms political and personal friends, for
the information they convey us from different
points. 1t enables us to make up a pretty
certain Judgment, in many instances of what
is about to take place, as we'll as what is 60
ing on at the time.'

THE ENLIGHTENED PARTY!

The aristocratic notions Of men cannot at
all times be kept back, as the arguments OF
leading Wings frequently show. They in
arguing questions, claim all the 'infeHigsnce
'of the country, and assert that 'loeVocoism
oatv prevails IN the bemghted ard ignorant
regions of country Such were the remarks
of Col. Scott, when addressing the Wings
of this place on the evening of April 26, 1913.
But Scott is not the only Wing that claims
all the intelligence, for we have some of the
same intelligent, 1egal minded gentlemen in
this town-those who claim that 'where you
find an intelligent community youTtind wings;
and that where you find ignorance you find
Democrats This is pure Whig logic. If
those who live by their labor and not by shaw
ing and bank specalations are denominated
the ignorant portion of community then
we must admit that the Democratic party pos
sesses the mass of Ignorance; for it is GER
tainly the laboring, producing party the very
SALT Of freedom and equality. They clam
no special privileges, protection, or SUPERIOR
ty; and ask only, that as "all men were born
free and equal" that all men shall remain,
upon the same level platform. This Is all
Democrats claim. The Wings may claim it
10 be intelligent to scatter bank bills over the
country, to the amount of thousands OF dol
lars, and then close their banking operat tons,
leaving the people nothing but their promises.
This is peculiar mack Of intelligence be
longing to the Wing leaders that no Democrat
will claim.
The Democrats, although ignorant" do
think, that in land of liberty, where the
people elect Governor, Representatives and
the highest officers in the American cont
nent, that the PEOPLE, are also capable of
choosing Judges and Clerks of Court This
may be an ignorant" opinion, entirely Dem
ocratic, and therefore, will meet with the op
position Of the "intelligent party the Wings.
Intelligence is very necessary in managing
the affairs of this vast country, and for this
reason, and because it is right belonging to
the people alone, that the Democrats are IN
favor of the election of all officers. 1t has
been said that ina multitude Of council there
is wisdom The intelligence of the people
the selfishness of the appointed officer
the equality and rights of freemen, all call
for change in the constitution of Ohio, SO
that officers will be responsible to the people.
