large audience would have been present to hear

GEN. JOSEPH LANE.

We gave on Sunday morning copious extracts
from the able message of General Lane, late
governor of Oregon, who has since been remoy-
ed by the proscriptive administration of General
Taylor, his brother in arms. In relation to that
message, the New York Sun, Taylor paper
thus remarks
Taken in all Governor Lanes message bears
evidence that he thoroughly understands and
appreciates the interests aud resources of the
splendid Territory over " hich he is chief mag
lstrate.
To this extract from the Sun, the Boston Post
pertinently adds:
This is the man who has been recalled from
the government OF Oregon to crafty the spite OF
z. Taylor. His message shows him to be plain,
pracllca energetic, sensible man-one OF the
people with whom be is thoroughly identified,
and with whom he has fought in arms, and has
fought and is willing to fight in the conquest of
| the wilderness. His successor, Major Gaines
the defeated Taylor candidate for Congress in
Kentucky, does not possess these sterling quail
ties that made Lane so popular in Indiana, and
that fit him so well for the Governorship OF Ore
gon. He is head and shoulders Above them
all in patriotism; integrity and talents, both mill
tary and civil.
The New York Tribune says: "An important
and long expected financial event has at length
been decided upon. The Messrs Rothschids
have concluded to establish branch of their
house in this city, at the head of which will te
placed the young Rothschild. son of the Paris
brother who came to this country last year We
understand, although young, he already eyinces
much OF the financial acumen which distinguish
es this family. The details of the arrangement
and what relation the present agent will bear TO
the new house have not yet been settled"

people yesterday, where The sale of large in

EMG TO THE FAIR


The Ladies of the Episcopal Church will hold
their Annual FAIR, this evening, (N1onday the
24th) at the Common Hall. They respectfully
invite the old and the young-the grave and the
gay-the bachelor and he who has been more
fortunate, the married man-to give them call
on that occasion, promising them threat" to
some good things, and sight of happy faces
which will be made far happier, by liberal en-
couragement TO the enterprise they have under

I-I--I~-I-I--I- Silence DON'T all speak at

u The editors of the Spectator say, if we
will give our views on the subject of Reform,
''instead of asking questions,' they will Acon-

to these questions were not expected from the
Spectator; but were merely intended to intimate
our belief that the friends of Reform would not

that as the editors Of the Spectator admit the
Capacity of the people for sef-government," it
follows, from that admission, that they must &C.
knowledge the right of the people to elect ALL
THEIR OFFICERS, from the highest to the
lowest--and this is oneof the Reforms we advo-
cate. The County Court system isanti-Republi-
can, and this Irresponsible and self-perpetuating
body needs remodelling 1t will hardly be ex-
pected ofus to state how this Reform should be
made, but reformed it must and will be. We
advocate the extension OF the right of suffrage to
all free white male citizens, over 81 years OF
age; who bear arms, pay taxes, work on the
public highways, (save those who have been or
may be convicted of criue.) These are the re-
forms considered essential, and which, we think.
the people will demand We shall be gratifed
to have the cooperation of our neialbors of the
Spectator, as political prejudices ought not to be
permitted to exert any influence on questions in
which all are concerned, and in which all have
a common interest.

at any place but by the Bank that issues them .
if you go to the Valley Bank at Winchester with
a shin plaster from the branch at Rcmney, the
officers will tell YOU, we do not redeem any but
our own notes: and if you 60 to banch Bank
with note from the mother Bank, you will be
told to go back TO the old lady, she must take
care OF her own ofsprny-hence it IS, thai the
notes OF any Bank never circulate much at
home. Again thousands OF these little saunders
never find their way back to the Bank which
issued them and are clear gain the Bank, con-
sequently dead loss 10 somebody. Now as
it so happens that the laboring mpu handles no
large money, he is the loser when losses accrue)

the reason assigned-the Banks make by the OPP
ration, the people lose. Amt it about that way,
