CHARLES 5. WALLACE, Esq, yesterday left his
office for few moments, while he stepped to
the court house, when Mr.. Patrick Finnigan, (by
profession hackman but indifierently attentive)
walked in and took-some say stole-Mr. Wal
lach's cloak On his return. Mr.. W. missed the
cloak, and promptly informed officer Reese of his
loss That functionary knew the cloak well on
Mr.. Finnigan's back he had on Wallach's; and
he also knew Mr.. Finnigan to be pretty much of
scamp. Therefore, he apprehended Mr.. Finnigan
and took him before Justice Dom, who committed
him to Jail. And there lies Mr.. Finnigan, all be-
cause Mr.. Wallach, unlike good christian, would
not let him have his cloak also.

vertisement in your paper that our city assessors
are holding meeting, pursuant to law, at which
all persons whose names have been omitted from
the lists of voters invited to attend and give
tce, in order that they may not be deprived of their
elective franchise. Now, being myself a working
man, with no leisure to run about grogshops, or
even to the City Hail. to ascertain whether am on
the list for the ward in which reside, and thus far
not having been able to learn the fact by any other
means, would Suggest to our Councils the propri-
ETY. of publishing these lists in all the public news
papers of the city, by which course think many
heartburnings and bitter imprecations would be
spared the community at election time.

resolution by vote Of SO o. than three to one
Rather omnous.-Indiana Statesman
ResoIred That this Convention do present the name
of Martin Van Buren, to the people the Democratic
candidate for the office of President Of the United States
and that will spare honorable to secure his
election.
False every word Of it. No such resolution was
adopted the Democratic State Convention recently
held at Syracuse, New York No resolution of the kud
was offered. 1t is fabrication of the Auditor. The
Syracuse Convention adopted the resolutions of the M
tonal Democratic party which had first been adopted
at Baltimore, in 1885, when Mr.. Van Buren, was the
nominee Of the National Democratic party. The same
resolutions which was adopted in ls4S when Gen. Cass
received the nomination. which afterwards repudi-
ated by Mr.. Van Buren, and his friends at Buffalo The
Auditor need not clay the Aatterng JUNCTION his sou'
that Mr. Van Buren, will again be the nominee OF
the Democratic party That WISH which the father to
the thought, will never be gratifed.

State Bank.

We publish to-day communication on that subject
signed R. On the question of banking, have our
opinion which is-opposition to all banking institu-
tons which authorized issue bills for circulation
Whether the people prepared for such change We
are not prepared decide The question of Banking
and currency is identified with all the business ransac
tons of the country. Currency is the life blood of trade
and commerce. and should be managed with great pru-
dence and ability We confess that we are not skilled
In matters Of finance. We see, and could readily
point out defects in present Banking system. We
know it is Objectionable, but whether the schemes
proposed will remedy the evils, do pretend to
Judge. We leave that where it properly belongs, to the
wisdom and discretion of the Convention the same
time we open columns for the discussion of the ques-
ton. 1t is of great Importance, and one which to
mind is free from embarrassment and difficulty.
II have banks let the rights of the people be pro-
tected safely and securely That gained and you
one great objection have always had to banking
tutons Individual liability without the specie basis for
the certain and prompt redemption of the issues, is
worth nothing. But we did not sit down to write
homily on Banking essay currency.

Hon. GEORGE w. Julian and the whites.

Our friend Julian is having rich time with the wings
in the fourth district He is laying Fillmore and
his cabinet without mercy. He is denouncing the Fue
tive slave law and all those who contributed to its pas
sage in unmeasured terms The wings, instead of de.
Tending their President and his Cabinet unite with Mr.
Julian in denouncing the law infamous. As we ex-
pected, there is to be between him and the lead
ing whgs (James Rarden always excepted as to who
shall outrun in the of freesolism. The Editor Of
the New Castle Courer-speakng of Julians speech at
that place says:
GAS instance he stated that President Fillmore re-
commended the passage of the Fugitive Slave Bill Now
every body not willuy ignorant knows that this was
premeditated perverson of truth, uttered solely Gull
the ignorant and unwary. What are the facts2 The
Fugitive Slave Bill had been introduced into the Senate
long before Mr. Fillmore called to the Presidency
and he never in word or deed-we defy Mr.. Julian to
show the conrarv-advsed for against the
Of the bill He signed it with great reluctance after
having the written opinion of the Attorney General that
it did not suspend the right o. Habeas Corpus"
1t is notorious fact that Fillmore, long before the
death of President Taylor favored the passage of the
compromise recommended by the committee Of
thirteen-the fugitive slave law among the rest. He
was just strong advocate for these measures as
Henry Clay himself, and in his message on the Texas
boundary question: he recommended ''the amcable adj
justment of the questions of difficulty which have hadl
for long time agitated the country" He selected Mr.
Webster his prime minister and Constitutional adv
SER knowing that he had saked his political reputation
the passage of this measure which the Courier terms
''vainous and infamous" legislation 1t is a notorious
fact that after the admission of California President
Fillmore and his cabinet used their personal influence
the passage of the fugitive slave BILL Mr. Julian
prove this need only call the stand either of the
following members of Congress: Mr.. Elliott or Mr.
Ashmun of Mass; Messrs. Brooks, Briggs, Duer,
McKissock, Andrews, White, Schcrmerhorh, Rose OF
Phoenix of New York; Mr.. Taylor of Ohio, or Mr.
McGaughey of Indiana. He signed the bill with great
reluctance" That will do to tell to the marines The
opinion of the Attorney General to light
til after the wings of the north began to agitate
intended shield to ward off the blows of his
own party. "You hare now admitted California as
free State. II is the great Of the session Pass
the fagtire Stare bill, and gire the South her Constu
tional rights and there be complaint. II ri BE-
compromise alike honorable to both sections" Such
the language of President Fillmore, and it the
language Of Patriotism. His friends ought to sustain
him.

Disunion North and south.


There is no longer any doubt but that there is pre-
concerted between the Northern and Southern
disuioniss AT the South this misguided faction is
citing the people by telling them that they have been
sacrificed by the northern aboltonsts To the slave
owners they say you have been DISTINGUISHED and de-
graded because you slaves" To the poor aboring
man they say the a5oonsts determined abolish
slavery and place you on an equality with the negro.
Thus they keep the country in blaze of excitement.
Separation is their only remedy This is recchoed at
the North and gives evidence to Seward Giddngs and
Garrison that there can be peace long slavery
exists in any of the States 1t is to them evidence
strong as sproos Holy Writ" that the compromise
measures have failed accomplish the objects designed
by their friends They in return, play their part of the
game by agitation the fugitive slave law This
up by the southern dsunonsts evdonce that there
can be no peace Gin the Union" Mississippi dis
unon paper collects all the extracts from northern prints,
in opposition this law, and heads tho contemplate
hotch potch Of sbotionism, which is given the sent
ment of the northern people, with the following imposing
caption:

country vet experienced and the South will again be
invited to submit for the sake of the Gorous Union
Mr. Woodward of South Carolina, in speech recent
" made at Columbia, said 'the law was made TO de
ceivc the SOut-those that passed it would aid In It's
repeal and it would be repealed" Thus the honest
people caioed and deceived, until dsunion with all its
terrible consequences, will be effected The argument
will be addressed to the quiet sober and peaceovne
population in both sections: When two cannot agree
they had better separate" fearful crisis approach
ing Ii the guided by and patriotism
all will be safe; but if madness and passion rule the
hour then will fall the splendid fabric of govern
ment ever devised by the wisdom Of The down
trodden nations of the earth longer point to ou
country as the beacon light of liberty. Its downfall
will strengthen the totterng thrones of despotism,
send gladness and JOY to the palaces of royalty
