Mr. Polk aud his gambling Cabinet

Woodbury. presided at tho Treasury over
the commercial transactions of Hoyt,
Swartwout, Price, Butler, &c. he aided
tho party" by lending the Smithson be-
quest to set Of shovers who held the
bonds Of the State of Arkansas. The
Cincinnati Gasetfe reports the facts con,
necled with the management of the Re
al Estate Bank, as mlolded by Com,
mitlee of the Arkansas Legislature, aud
as it is truly stated in The San newspa.
per Of this City, "a sOrry erP0sijOn Of

ference of exchanges in addition, Sewer
appropriated $l4,300 and Williamson
$lI,09i for expenses aud services rem

loaned IS, 500 to certain individuals il

The Five Million Loan.

Was all taken-the larger portion by the
Messrs. Rothschild. Upon this the Executive
Organ ielictates itself in this wise:
"We are glad to see the Messrs. Roth
schld again investing in American
securities. 1t shows the confidence
which the principal bankers of the Eu-
ropean world place in the American
stocks"
1t is also said that the Treaty of Peace was i'll
the handwriting OF Mr.. Mcintosh. the British
Minister to Mexico, and that it was through his
influence that it was made.
In this connection, we may also remind the
reader of the Tariff OF '46 passed by the Polk
Administration, a Tariff that has a tendency to
PROSTATE American Labor and encourage British
pauper Labor.
Also the Oregon Treaty, that yielded up tc
Great Britain territory, the title to which Presi
dent Polk declared to be ''clear and unguestion
able" while at the same time he was willing t.
plunge this nation into war with weaker pow
er, for the defence of which he thought it neces
sary to write two very long messages.
When these facts are pondered upon it will
not take the reader long to give an answer to tn
inquiry so often made by Locofoco stumpers an,
presses-"who are the British t,arty7" Thes
facts are full of meaning and we commend then
to the considera; ion of those individuals VIII
have SO often declaimed against British infr
ence.'

Opposition to the Rail Road has assu-
sumed new phase.
AS we were about to 60 to press, we
learned that hand,bills are in circulation
in the Northern party of the County, and
it may be in other parts, intended to de-
ceive the people and create prejudces.
Tho bills, we are informed, were prin.
ted in Circleville, by men in tho Circle.
Vile interest.
The people of Fairfield con attend tc
their own affairs. We want no foreign
interference. We want no secret circu.
lars. If opposition to the Road could
bo fairly defended, we would have no Sc.
cret machinery to carryit on.
Opposition to be honorable aud cAec.
tive must bo open, avowed,
We advise the taxpayers to beware
of all such means to influence their vote
Anopon, manly opposition we admire
but secret, unfair opposition is dospi
cable.
Least Of all, the people of this county
need no foreign appliances to teach then
their duty or their interests.

School Meeting.

We refer our town readers to Notice
for Meeting, in another column, for the
purpose of compromising the views ofour
citizens upon the Common School ques-
ton. We are not advised certainly as
to the mode that is to be presented; but
we understand that harmony can be OBJ
tanned by an understanding that two hou-
ses are to be constructed under the law
one on each side of Main Street.
Ifthis plan can be adopted it will be
well. For our part, we still incline to
the opinion that one large house, in many
respects, would be preferable; but as
there appears to be general disposition
to adept the other plan, union and harmo'
ny can be obtained by it and it is these
that are most needed to render the system
useful to the children of the town.
We hope that there will be large
number in attendance at the appointed
time. Should there be, it is altogether
probable that a compromise can be effec
ted, that will CONNIE nd itself to the favor
of every one. At any rate every one in
torcsted in any way in the question should
esteem it his duty to be there, that he
may hear and ifpossible reconcile con
fiicting views and assist in adopting I
good school system.

The Apportlonment Law.

From an article inthe Ohio Eagle, Of
the 9th inst. we clip the following:
R-The 6,l6a voters of Fairfield, and the g.
48l voters uf Clinton are each allowed Repre-
sentative Clinton with her THREE thousand
voters, is whig county; aud Fairfield with her
SIX thousand voters, is democratic.
1t is by just slch unfair statements as
the above that the LocofocO press at
tempt to show the inequality of the Ap-
portionment Law. Instead of Fairfield
having but t'One Representative, she has
one herself and another conjointly with
Perry and Hooking,
We see that the editor of the Demo-
cratic Union, who has not yet joined the
jacobin movement, has fallen into like
error. This district has three instead ol
tVO Representatives.
The ratio for Representative is 1885,
Fairfield has more than her share; but
this is madeup by a slight under repre-
sentation of the Senate District. Sc
with Clinton. She is over represented
in the House and under represented il
the Senate.
All this proves one of two things
either these Editors are trying to deceive
their readers or else have not read thu
apportionment bill. They can take eth
er horn of the dilemma, fraud or ignor
ance.
But the whole matter as explained vii

Commom schools OF Lancaster,

On Monday next, il will be remember.
ed, that the qualified voters of the town
of Lancaster are TO vote By districts
whether they wish TO come under the
provisions of the Law, providing for the
better support and regulation of the
Common Schools of Lancaster.
We suppose that seperate boxes will
be prepared, by the proper authorities,
one for each disirict,in which to deposite
the Ballots. Those in favor of coming
under the Law viii write or print upon
their tickets "aye" and those not wishing
to come under the Law will write oi
print on their tickets may"
The vote is to be taken at the Town
Hall, the "place for holding the corpora
ton election"
We have no disposition to add any
thing to what we have already said upor
the subject. But we have one reques
to make--let each parent and guardian
without prejudice, consider the question
we'll before he concludes to put NAY
into the box. 1t is of the deepest mo
ment to their children and wards, ant
while they are laboring night and day tc
give them "fair start" in the world, le
them remember that, in the ordinary
course of this ever-changing world, a
mid the mutations of fortune and circum
stances, money, of itself, is the worst her
itage that they can transmit to their off
sping, aside from open, palpable vices
1t needs stern resolve and well-prac
ticed virtue to preserve a rich young ma,
from dissolute habits and absolute ruin.

Mr. Rade manufacturer and vender of
Homeopathic medicines. residing in
Fourth, above Arch street, was found this
morning in his bed room, stabbed and cut
in fully twenty places, and in the agonieS
ofdeath His wounds were ofsuch ma
ture that no hopes were entertained for
his recovery. The terrible tragedy does
not end here. Mrs. Rade wife of the
unfortunate victim, was also found in the
same room with her husband entirely
dead, having been literally hacked and
cut to pieces. Traces of blood were OBJ
served on fence or pailings of the yard
contiguous to the dwelling. The night
cap and some other clothes of Mrs. R.
were found in the street smeared with
blood. No clue has yet been had to the
perpetrators of this horrid crime. Our
police are on the alert.

From SANTA FE-THE QUESTION OF
SLAvERY.-The St. Louis Republican of
the 9th, quotes from numbers of the Re-
publican, of Santa Fe, brought from that
city oy the late train of American traders
the following notice ofthe question which
will soon be at issue, in the newly acqui-
red territory;
The Republican refers to the approach
ing Convention, which is to decide the
question of annexation TO the United
States, as an event of great interest,"
Tho members of the Convention, it is
feared, may be influenced by the opera
tion of unjust means in giving iinal de-
cision; but we trust in the honored hon
esty of those whom the people have
chosen to represent their wishes and o.
pinions."
The question ofthe establishment of q
State Government, and of the introduc-
ton of slavery therein, is discussed al
some length. The editor argues, that
slave.holders, from their proximity to the
new State, will be the first to emigrate
thither, and he claims that they should be
protected in their property-in other
words, that the existence of slavery in
the newly-acquired territory shall be full
ly recognized. This right is insisted
upon with much earnestness.
