entertainment at the Court House on We'd
nesday evening last. There was a very
respectable number in attendance, and all
SEEMED we'll pleaced with their performaace
We think that they are not second in point
Of musiaal talent and skill to any compa-
ny that has visited our town. One excel
lent feature Of their singing is the perfect
distiuctuess with which they pronounce, their
words. There was just enough Of the COM
ic mixed with the sentimental to relieve the
entertainment of anything like monotony.
The violin, guitar, harp and violincello ac-
compartment added much to the perform

4 Whsg Mayer an a Es.-Last spring
|be Wings and Native Americans of Pitts
burgh elected one Joe Barker Mayor of that
city. The Wing papers Of Pittsburgh then
claimed that Barker was a good Whig, and
tho press Of that party all over the country
claimed his election as glorious Wing VIC
tory! Recently this Wing Mayor 'clsth-
ed with little brief authority" has been
play ing asuch fantastic tricks before high
heaven as make the angels weep" Bst
his race is nearly ended. A despatch from
Pittsburgh says,
~Tbe Grand Jury have found true bill
against Mayor Barker for misdemea nor
n lille an officer. One of bis police men ha 8
been found guilty Of larceny, another OF
perjury. and another Of assault aud bettery
with intent to kill" .-r
The Pittsburgh Post publised an account
Of meeting of the friends OF Barker, re-
Gently held in that city, and gives the fol
lowing quotation from his speech, subsii
tuting 'John Doe for real name:
@John Doe; John Doe, John Doe, stand
up here, you G. d id son Of a b-h
You told lies on the Mayor; you are rot
ten with diseaee; you stole thousand dol
lars"
When party claiming all the morality
piety and intelligence, unite in the election
of such men to office, it is evident that they
practice their motto, sWe stoop to con

Bank Profits and Bank Taxes.

We learn that the Directors of the Branch
Bank at this place held meeting on FRI
day and declared semi-annual dividend of
eight per cent, and that after deducting
one per cent for amount paid to sustain the
Toledo Branch, and and one per cent. for
its own losses; thus showing a net: profit
equal to sistern per cent. per annum.--
This is the amount which the B,nks tax
the people for their worthless rag currency,
and which labor has to pay.
But this bank has lost tvo per cent, or
something over t,co thousand dollars, and
by the opera tions Of the Wing tax system
they are relieved from taxation to that a.
mount, and the treasury thereby loses one
hundred and t,esnty dollars which must
be made up by taxing the people.
Again, the fact that one per cent. Of this
loss went to sustain the Toledo Branch and
save it from bankruptcy, shows that that
Branch could have made little or no profit,
and consequently paid little or no tax; and
the treasury lost the tax on the 100000
capital Of that concern, which is to be made
up by taxes upon the people.
Such is the admira be system of taxation
which the wings have dew sed for the pee.
pie of Ohio, but as yet its beauties are moi
fully developed.

C The Whig papers that oppose and
denounce the Fugitive Slave law, and yet
*do not feel called upon to ceasure Presi-
dent Fillmore" who approved the bill and
thus gave it the character Of law, all assert
that the law is unconstitutional because it
takes sway the privilege of trial by jury
and the benefit of the writ Of habeas cor
pus; and that profound constitutional law
yer, the editor of the Portage County Wing,
has made the wonderful discovery that the
law is unconstitutional in another point, viz:
that it is ex post .facto. These Wing
papers probably know that President Fill
more has taken an oath to protect and de-
fend the constitution, and still they cannot
censure him though, as they assert, he has
| openly violated it in three essential partic-
ulars. But his was the sin of ignorance,
and is therefore to be winked at We ad-
wise the President TO give his ignorant and
luberly constitutitutional advisers the sack, ;
and call to his aid the brilliant and dazzling
genius Of the Portage County Wing, who
has the wisdom and learning to enable him
to write his own editorials, swithont any
dictation from an outdoor CLIQUE" and
who can give san opinion as is al opinion.
o, immortal hero Of Lake Pepin, to whal
worthy limbs have thy scar-corered breech

C. With the excellent Accomplishments
Of wisdom" learning" and patriotism,
with which our neighbor Of the Wing is
astonishing sall the world and the rest Of
mankind" he last week gave evidence Of
another excellent virtue, viz: charity. He
proposes donating to US "a pair Of leather
spectacles." We take this exhibition Of
regard for US very kindly. But we have
a single request to make-we prefer that
the said spectaces should be made Of don:
key skin; and as we are IN no immediate
need of the article, we can conveniently wait
till our neighber's hide has been dressed
and is ready for use.
Don't the good people Of Old Portage
feel highly favored that the lot Of the in.
tellectual and moral genius Of the Wing
has been fixed in their midst! Will not be
be pointed to as the great model for the ris'
ing generation to copy after? Shouldn't
wonder, for his is one Of the Sgreat. the i'm
mortal names that was not burn to die. "
