and accomplished as much against democra-

ratio Presses--yet when the crash comes
the wbig presses and politicians seek TO dis
own The disgracelul connection, and lolhrow
the odiuIn upon party that for two years al
least have made tia principle of its existence
to avow "uncompromising hostility" to the
whole system, on the ground that ALL paper
money banks are intrinsicallyl dishonest and
dangerous to liberty! So far from the Woos-
ter iniquiiy being democratic, it isa reas-

both at the balot-box and in the Legislature.
The same shre@d resolve-makers had a
word Of rejoicing about the uselessness Of
" Individual Liability" provisions in a bank
charter TO make its corporators pay their ho-
nest debts. Ia this they we're undesienedly
right To think of making our rag-batons
alnenable to laws to which they had not gra-
ciously '.coEsentod," and which would make
Them dsgorge their ill-go,ten and fraudulent
gains, was absurd--,he old joke Of catching
wild birds by putting salt on their tails was
not half so ridiculous nonsense. When the
democratic party in this State undertook to
bind under rule the fertile genius which
guided the manufacturers of Owl Creek,
Urbana, Granville and Gallipolis currency to
the public SPOIL they erred, grievously erred
.--but they have discovered their error and
abandoned banking 10 its own incurable rot
tenness. It is, however, little better
than moon struck madness for Wing Politi7
clans to urge new proofs 10 the people OF the
intrinsic knavishness Of thelriavorite system,
10 claim credit for their sagaci,y in discover
ing that the. common rules OF law which
bind other associations, would be powerless
when applied 10 their darling institutions,
and then ask the people 10 sustain by their
votes these same corrupt institutions, which
are eating outthelr substance. }4al,..s
But the Allen county wings insist that as
individual liability connotmaKe bankers hon.

are desirable. Who can doubt il! a.
THE ArRiL Tern Of the Court Of Common
Pleas, for this equity. commenced on the 18Th
hlt., and continued through the Week, Hon. GEo.
B. WAY, presiding, assisted by Judges McClish,
Slcket, and Skinner. This being Judge Ways
first term in this county, the attendance, who ther
from business or curiosity, was unusually large.
The creation of this new circuit by the Whig
party, throwing an additional burden upon tic
PEOPLE for the salary OF new Judge, would
have been uncalled for, had previous appoir :
ments OF the party been tidde with. a due regard
to the proper administration of justice, In the
present instance the only insuimountable ,ncces-
siiy for q new circuit is believed to have sprung
from the notorious incompetency Of the late
president judge, who, having received his ap
pontment from the Wbig party;la as reward for
partlzan services, had become odious t, avery
large por,ien'nl the bar. and the people. o, ac-
count Of the absence of those jndicidl quail:
ties, essential TO command con 6dence in the
administration Of justice. 9dt q gESf 3v
We pre glad, however, that the new crc uit
has been ersoted. Judge Way has an enviable
reputation as an aSle lawyer, and from the man
ner Of his discharge Of his judicial func-
tons, we are satisfied he will fully maintain
the dignity Of his position.
The only criminal cause Of my Importance

Shehon, charged as gaoler with Voluntarily per-
hitting the escape Of Tremainas, convicted Of.
