On last Tuesday evening, the Cadets Of

Speech OF Ms. Vinton.

We publish, in to.day's paper, the re-
marks ofMr. Vinlon, in opening the de-
bate upon the Loan Bill. concerning the
Finances ofthe country. We bespeak for
it careful perusal from every one of
our readers; and after reading it them-
selves, we trust that they can induce their
democratic neighbors TO "read, learn and
inwardly digest" it. ..
1t is a calm, dispassionate and able
view Of the condition of our finances at
the present time. We doubt whether
another member of the House could do
the subject the justice, that Mr.. Vintou
has done to it. The manner is Mr..
Vinton's own-clear, lucid, convin-
cling. The arguments are sound and the
speech is free from any party slang-a
commendable quality, that Chairmen of
Committees should always endeavor to
bes'ow upon their speeches.
The selection, by Mr.. Winthrop, of
Mr.. Viuion as Chairman Of the most i'm.
portant House committee, was a fortu.
nate selection for the country. To nat
urally strong intellect is added high de-
gree of cultivation aud long experience
in political life, making the possessor
shrewd, penetrating, sound aud practical
stOtesman-und possessing these high
qualities, we think that Mr.. Vinton can
do his country more service than he
could as Speaker of the House. What
better hand could be selected to expose
tho errors and false estimates of the Treas
ury department.
The speech is, at this time. important
and full of interest. Let no one. then,
fail TO read, it because tits lengthy.

We hope that the Wings ofthe county
will not forget the meeting to be held in
the Court House, ON tomorrow. For
many reasons they should be there; it is
ofthe utmost consequence that we COM
mence tho campaign Alright and this can
only be done by large and enthusiastic

The coming campaign will be most
and important one-the is
sues that are presented for our considera-
tion are vital TO tho prosperity and per-
pe,uity of our institutions. The coun-
Try expects every man to do his duty.
Shall the meeting not be graced with
the presence Of the old, active Wings Of
the county those, that have often upheld
the banner of the party, in success and in
defeall Their participation, in the NEE

additional activity in others. "The un-

Crcot Sale Of Real Property,

1t will be seen, by reference to our adj
vertising columns, that the Real Estate,
belonging to the old Lancaster Bank, is
to be disposed Of Those wishing to pur'
chase themselves Alarm, dwelling house,
an in-lot or an out.lot, have fair opportu-
nifty presented to them for an investment.
The necessity Of closing up the concerns
oftbe Bank at as early day as possible,
will induce those, having the charge, to
dispose ofthe property at fair and moder-
ate terms. A finer opportunity to pur-
chase Real Estate is seldom presented,
and we doubt not but that the sale will
be numerously attended.

But little has been done, in the Legis.

the want of quorum in the Senate. But
on Saturday last, ten of the recusant SEN

and the Senate proceeded to business
The bill Incorporating the Fairfield
County Savings Institute" was passed.
The absquatulators only returned when
they found that their absence could not
defeat the apportionment bill. The
Wings Of the House, seeing no hope, un-
less they should reced from their amend
ments to the Senate Bill, generously gave
up their own wishes upon the subject
and reccded from their amendments
Tho bill has thus become a law, the Con-
stitution and Government of the State
have been preserved and Revolution has
been prevented. We will publish the
law at an early day.
The Locofoco Senators may congratu-
late themselves upon their escape. Their
own party did not attempt to screen them
save and except a few violent partzans,
and they felt that their conduct was sig
nally condemned. Thus, after the bill
passed, they went back and we may now
hope for speedy termination of the
Session.
The bill to erect tho new county OF
Van Burcn was lost in the Senate, by a
vote of 81 to IA.
The bill providing for Convention to

is test vote, the bill will pass.

we have no means of ascertaining their
import.

Who are the Office Seekers!

VA man who processes to be Wing.
but does not care sufficiently for the sue
cess of the party. to give any support to
his own county paper, comes to us, we
think, with rather an i'll grace, for our
signature to petition asking the Cover
ner or any body else to appoint him to
office.-We cannot thus recommend such
an individual, having good reasons to
doubt the sincerity of his profession of
Wing principles. We have been waited
upon, in this way of late by three such
,ohigs. who presented very humble state
menislo their services in the good cause,
and of abilities for the duties ofthe office
in question, but we had to beg to be ex-
cused. One Of the gentlemen referred
to, we had never heard of as whig, and
of the other two we had merely heard
that they were wings, during a residence
in the county with them of ten years or
more, We believe that such men, by
some means. oftener get office, than do
those ofthe hard working, equally capa-
BILE and more deserving cfass.
We may notice also, that men seeking
Office, often call for aid from that Press
to which they themselves afford no aid
Orleans Co. american.
We like the spirit of this paragraph.
1t is just. The permanent success of the
party depends upon liberal support Of
its local press. The man who is not
whig enough to contribute two or three
dollars year to the support of his coun-
ty paper, should not be deemed whig O.
nough to receive Office at the hands Of
the party.-Albany Journal.
Besides all this, we apprehend that
there are cases, where this class ofindi.
viduals, who. contribute not dollar to
the support oftheir county paper, think
that it is the duty Of a publisher, wher
they are running for Office. to announce
their names and print their tickets grad,
