of the defeat OF The bill. The aggregate OF
these sixteen counties is 8, 45l against the

meeting. He made short speech, which
Is thus noticed in the Courier.
''IIr Klnkei addressed the meeting in
neat and spirited manner in behalf OF free

self understood in a very forcible and Of.
fec,ive speech. His remarks to the Irish
citizens were SO full Of sympathy and so
neatly expressed as TO call down lhunders
Of applause He was one short year ago
confined in n dungeon in Germany, and
while there news came to him that the peo
pie of this country were making efforts for
his release. It did his heart good to receive
such news, and l,ghtened the burdens Of his

He encouraged them to 60 forward Then,
with The assurance that their efforts would

The Gold Currency where 1t has been
Tested,

BY returns published in the Chicago Tri-
bune, we notice tha, Jo Davies county, H.,
gave 100 majority against the banking law
lately voted on in that State. This county
usually gives majority for the whig tick.
et. We call the attention of our whle
friends 10 those facts, and give them as an
Offset 10 :he expression which they claim
has been made by this democratic State in
favor Of paper currency. No other
county in Illinois has enjoy ed the benefi. OF
u g"li circulating medium, and none other
could vote rs in,elligenlly upon The question.
About twelve years ago, by the iat Of the
sovereign people, paper money was Danish,

State followed their example a, tho lime of
the explosion Of the banks, they would not
have been forced 10 a choice belu cen the
worthless issues of other States, and the
evils that must result from the establish.
men, Of banks of their own.
Since writing the above, we have receiv-
ed the Lancaster Herald, which gives re-
turns from twelve townships in Gran,
county, Wisconsin, showing majority of
1000 against free banking; FIVE townships
are 10 be heard from, which will add seve-
raj hundred to the majority. This county
is situated five miles directly north from
Galena, in the heart Of mineral region;
its currency is gold. In the city Of Po,osi
The vote stood AZ in favor of free banking,

which this currency is held by the com
mercial men who have carried on large
business with it for The past twelve years

We do not bate one jot or little from our

at loss to know where the Wing gets its
authority for charging the Democracy with
