and loudly applauded by the whole assem-
bled multitude. johnson would probably
run we'll in slaveholding community, but
if his position is correctly understood, we
apprehend there are few, if any, of the
anti-slavery men of Ohio who will support
him. AS to the character of his speech
here, there can be no controversy about it.
Hundreds Of the best pro-slavery men in
the country were present, heard it, and
left we'll satisfied. Buff our information
is correct, he is now trying TO palm him
self off as a Free-Soiler-at least he is
claiming the votes Of that party FOR servi
ces which he never rendered.

cofoco doctrine be carried out, no more
bank bills or checks can be used; we shall
be forced down al once 10 the actual hano'
ling of coin."
Now, that is Just what we complain OF,
and the impossiblity Of restraining them
from doing that kind of business is the rea-
son why we oppose them. We hold, and
are ready to maintain, that it is the lar
mers true interest to sell his produce only
to those whom he knows to be responsible.
and TO make fair profit; and in every
community there are just such men, men
making that their busness-not TO coun'
,enance those penniless adventures, with
their pock cts stuffed with bank rogs--mere
Spectators. Having shown that the coin
is not actually to be carted about, we
think it is useless to notice their puerlle IL
lustrations, we will make but one more
quotation, and leave the Journal in its
glory
sWhen the coin was once scattered IN
that way among the farmers, they would
not choose TO keep it. They avould aO'sh
to hare it collected at Convenient points,
and strong uaults built to keep at from
fire and robbers, and employ men to be-
come acquainted auith and keep charge
oft. and to count at out aUhen auanted.
They sOould expect to employ some one
sshom they could all trust and let ham
keep their cash accounts, and certify from
time to time hoac much coin each acoasld
be entitled to, and these certificates suould
soon circulate as bank bills noau circulate.
In word, they would have clumsy sort
of bank paper-just the kind of banks
| that were made one hundred and fifty or
| two hundred years ago, before the subject
was we'll understood. They sooald hare
progressed backwards from one to two
centuries. But even that rude and com.
paratively useless kind of bank paper is to
be prohibited. By referring back to the
Democratic Platform, you will see that
the prohibition is against giving the Legis'
lature 'spoaoer to create ANY bank or
banking institution WHATEVER" or to "au-
thorize the making, emission, or putting in
circulation of ANY bill of credit, bond
check, certificate, promissory note or pa
per medium" &c.
| To the first paragraph we say yes these
are the banks which we want and there
will be men enough to open such banks as
will supply the wants of trade and COM
merce. The same cry went abroad in the
land when the U. S. Bank was extin'
gushed, the business of the government
ana the country could not be done, ruin
and famine and stagnation of business
would be the result, and we would be
| forced to recur to the old mode. Where
are the croakers predictions? To the las
part of the quotation we have to reiterate
that it is entirely false and without founda
ton US we have shown. In taking leave
Of the Journal we can but express our graf
itude for the palroniziDg manner in which
it has been pleased to notice US, and 10 as
sure its editors that we appreciate its gen
llemanly tone, and its courtesy as well a:
its guarded expressions in commenting or
our spirit.
To the public we will now bid farewell
fully conscious that we have done our duty
as an humble champion OF
EQUAL RIGHTS.

Since the introduction of carved work by
the Boston Dentist, by which they are ena-
bled to insert teeth that are VERY MUCH
more sERvIcEABLE and durable than the old
kind, and by which they are enabled to inn
itate nature so exactly that the most careful
observer cannot detect the mechanical
denlure, the profession has entered on new
era, so that the old practice, in every de-
parment, is either greatly improved ol
wholly abandoned. -......

equal to that of the Boston Dentists.

A HOME rHRUsT-A great deal Of interesting
discussion has taken place in the u S. Senate with
in the last ten days. We have found it utterly i'm
possible to keep pace with it. But we propose as as
soon as we can to give such portions Oft as will
convey to OUR eaders fair view Of the more impor-
tant points On last "Wednesday very exciting
debate on the one great topic, took place. In tho
course Of it, Mr. Dodge, Of Iowa, is reported in the
Union 10 have said!
"The mission to California of the Hon. L. But
Ter King, of Georgia, figures largely in this discus
sion and other matters lugged in, to show that
the people of California have formed their govern
meni under some sort of military duresse. Sir, it
is grave accusation and those who make or hint
If they believe it to he true, ought Immediately to
move an impeachment of Zachary Taylor, in the
House of Representatives and, as majority Of
that body and of this are opposed to him POLITICAL y,
there would be no reason TO apprehend that he
would be treated with undue leniency. The charge
is criminal one, and, if made, should be boldly
made, and accompanied by action in the right quar-
ter"
This blow by Democratic arm, heavy enough
to siagger the whole Democracy We defyany man
of that party to resist it. If there be any trulh in
the charge so often made of illegal action by Gen.
Taylor in relation TO California; why don't they i'm

day or two since an accomplished young lady

painful. 1t appears that young gentleman( wild:
over had been paying his addresses to her for sew

the nuptia ceremony was to take place. 1t appears
however, that the widower had promised his fist
wife, on her death bed that he never would gel
married again. but when time had sooihed his feel,
ings consequent upon SO painful an aflic.ion as her
death, he forgot his VOW, fell in love with the young
lady, and went so far as 10 agree upon final emp
gagement with her. On reflection, the death OF
his wife and the sacred vows he had made, flashed
on his memory. Accordingly, with feelings best
known to himself, he wrote letter setting forth !he
facts, and expressed his determination not to comply
with the engagement which he had made with The

TIE UNIoN.-The following passage from Mr..
Webster's reply 10 Col. Hayne, in the Senate ofthe
United States on former occasion, when the o.
MON was threatened as now, will be read with re-
newed interest at the present time:
"When my eyes shall be turned to behold, for
the last time, the sun in heaven, may not see him
shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of
once glorious Union on States discovered, discor-
dant and bellgerent on land rent with civil tends
or dtenchet, i may be, with fraternal blood Let
their feeble and lingering glance rather behold the
gorgeous ensign of The republic, now known and
Ronoed throughout the earth still full high advanc-
ed, its arms and trophies streaming in their origin
al lustre, not stripe erased or polluted single
star obscure, bearing for its motto such misera-
BILE interrogatory as, what is all this worth p Nor
those other words Of deuson and folly, Liberty first
and Union afterwards but everywhere, spread all
over in characters Of Living light, blazing on all its
ample folds, as they fiat over the sea and over the
land, and in every wind under the whole heavens,
that other sentiment, dear to every American heart,
Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and in
separable."
