More Cabinet Difficulties.

"Mr. McKenran's resignation is official

nation, dated e'W ashington Pa, August

The Philadelphia Bulletin closes an ar

given as one of the causes, but there are

Execution Of Prof. Webster.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.

BosToN, Aug. 30th. f5l
Prof. Wsbster's family left him last
night, it is alleged, perfectly Unconscious
of the near approach Of ibis fate. From
10 10 O'Clock he spent in devotional exer.
cises, when he fell into doze, waking at
intervals until day dawned. He showed
some agitation, ute sparing of breakfast, at
which he requested the officer to partake.
He made preparation for ascending the
scaffold with firmness. At 8 o'clock, DR..
Putnam commenced a last religious service
of fervent prayer after which the prison.
er's arms were pinionsd, and with firm
step he walked to the gallows, with DR..
Putnam, with whom he conversed with
much earnestness, and shaking hands with
him, led him forward. His legs were then
pinioned and the black cap placed on his
head, the rope around his neck, and he was
then launched into eternity. He died
without struggle, and after hanging half
an hour the body was taken down and
placed in jail coffin for transmission to
Cambridge. The house,tops around the
jail were crowded, as also the streets in
the vicinity. Noconfession has transpir.
cd, but it is fully expected he has lsfl one.

Frederick Douglass, a .r
The Ohio Stage Company

The Ohio Stage Company
This was an action to recover money
and lor damages incurred in this wise
The plaintiff paid three dollars, the regular
lee, at the Office of the company in CoIum-
bus; for his passage TO GAINESVILLE, July
10Th. When the sage called for him, on
its round for passengers, he took sent m
side, in company with lady who had de-
laved her journey day of two, for the
benefit of his protection. But on their ar.
rival a, the company's office he was or
dered out of the Stage, by the ngent, Hoo
ker.) Being in poor health and disinclined
to contend with the agent, he gol Out, and
was then ordered to tdke seat upon the
top Of the stage, which he declined to do,
and demanded hls money back, hich was
refused.
The attorney for the plaintiff, wv. F
GIDDlSGs, Esq.,) stood ready 10 prove
that the money was paid for n first class
possage-lhat the name of Douglass was
Sd or 4,h on the list, there being room for
nine inside-that the slage was not half
lul when he was ordered oul-lhat none
| of the passengers objected to his riding in
| side, while one or more of them desired
that he might remain that his demand
for reliundisg the money was met with
curses, &c also, that the plaintiff was
subjected to additional expense in procur.
ing private conveyance to Evansville, to
| enable him to fulfill an engagement there
The case did not finally go 10 trial, bu
/ was settled bv the defendants volurtarily
canning forward and paying thirteen dollars
damages and costs-to the great chagrir
Of the qpid-nuncs who anticipated mucl
fun in seeing it go through all the courts
and finally settled in the Conrt in Bank.

~ The Seneca Advertiser, in caution
ing the people af Seneca county against re-
ceiving the bills of the Havre de Grace
Bank, says:-"We learn that the Toledo
Banks are putting into circulation large a.
mounts Of the paper of the Havre de Grace
Bank, Maryland. The Toledo Republi-
can of the 29th says: @To what extent the
notes of this bank have been put in circu-
lation in this section, we have no accurate
means of judging. We hear the amount
variously estimated at from Is 900 to $780,
0OO."
Since the caution was given, the people
are informed that this rag mill has closed
its doors and another stupendous robbery
been committed under the sanction of law.
And to this graceless plunder the Ohio
Banks have been lending their aid. This is
one Of the evils which they promised to
cure. How much longer will the people
listen to the senseless babble about @safe,
sound, and convenient home currency, easi-
ly convertible into specie at the will of the
holder" How much longer will they per-
nit themselves to be robbed and plundered
through the instrumentality of paper money? ?

@ Why do the wing papers commune
to prate about the present "safe
and judicious banking system" while they
know that it is system by which labor is
annually robbed of over million dollars Tor
the benefit Of privileged capital? DO they
imagine that this Sound and fury will be
mistaken by the people for argument? If
they do they may find out ere long where
they missed it, If they have any justif-
cation for the paper money swindle, let
them come forth and show why the capi-
talists Of Ohio should be invested with the
dangerous power of controlling labor and its
productions, and why they should be priv
ileged to tax the people over a million Of
dollars for the benefit of the Bank nobility
If the Galphin press really desire to enlight-
en- the people upon the bank question, why
do they not lay before their readers the
reports in the Constitutional Convention on
the subject? Aye, why don't they! The
fact that they do not and dare not is test
OF their sincerity and proof of how little
confidence they have in the justice of their
cause.
O. The Galphinites are illy-suited with
Mr.. GlLLETT, the Democratic candidate
for Senator. We are glad to hear it, for
were it otherwise we should be strongly
tempted to question his fidelity TO Demo.

an ultra "hard money and free trade" man
We believe MIR. G has some radical idea.
upon these questions which would be Of

was instituted for the benefit of the *ricl

be exclusively for capital. He has no ide'
that poor men should be made "hewers o
wood and drawers of water to be lordet
over by the rich. He believes one man ha
as much right to make paper promise
and circulate them as money, as another
He believes that gold and silver is the onl
constitutional currency-that the power t
, regulate the currency belongs to Congress
alone that the power to coin money an
to emit bills Of credit is denied to the State
and that the State Legislature has not tn
1 right to delegate powers to others which
: does not itself possess. He believes tha
taxes should be levied on property for th
!. a support of Government, instead Of upon th
backs and stomachs of the people-tha
the men with their thousands and million
j. with none to support but them selves, shoul
o pay more to the support of Governmel
