A HoME CURRENcY.-The Cleveland Banks,
we understand, shut down the gate, on the 18th,
on the paper of Canada, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Michigan banks Except Detroit) and after that
day refused to receive their paper on deposite.
The Cincinnati Banks have commenced throwing
out all kinds Of Eastern paper, except at a dis
count1of one per cent. This may be beginning,
but it will not 60 far, towards redeeming the
pledge of the banks to the people-to furnish
them with "a home currency that should drive
out the paper Of other States, and be convertible
into specie at all times at the will of the holders.
Since the banks of this went into operation the
paper of Indiana and Kentucky, has constituted
our "home currency, and these, the very worst
class of foreign paper, will continue in circulation
among u.s. It is little strange that, with the inn
mensc amounts of gold that is pouring into the
coutrJ annually, the peop,e should be compelled
put up with such worthless trash.
L1BERAL!-The Portage County Branch of the
State Bank, by its Attorney, few days ago walk
ed up to the counter of the Treasurer's Office and
threw down $5s5.62 in specie as tendry for the
amount of its taxes. The amount charged against
the Bank on the duplicate is s., ,467, which it
seeks to cancel by the payment of less than one
fourth Of the amount. While the Bank is ENJOY
leg the unjust and unnatural privilege of convert
ing its credit into currency upon which it is derv-
ing enormous profits, it seeks to avoid the payment
of the taxes justly assessed against it, and to COM
pei the people to bear the burthen.

Of Guy yahoga, in the House, prohibiting the Banks
from putting in circulation bills of other States,

this~State from issuing bills of their own Tor pay
ing out the bills of other banks, of less denom-
ilation than five dollars. The first of these
measures will serve to Fdrive out the worthless
trash oi other States, while the latter will tend

influx of the precious metals, has been so scarce

WE'LL. WE'D TONIGHT

WE'LL WE'D TO-NIGHT.
Wen wed Tonight loving pair
Thank God, our fears and woes are past!
And many day US may He spare
TO say Z" we are but one, " at last.
Well wed to-night-fate's ruthless hand
Our treasures from our sides hath torn;
And when he took our wealth, our land,
Left us, of all but love forlorn.
Wen wed to-night-upreareda above
The storms of grief that we have left,
Well find home in mutual love
Of which we cannot be bereit.
Well wed to-night-a chastened twain,
By burning sorrows purified;
Our tears have nurtured, like the rain,
The love-plants that must else have died.
Well wed-we then can turn to meet
With Drawer hearts, the common woe,
And till those hearts shall cease to beat
Their flames shall blend in one pure glow.
Come holy bonds-each one hath thrown
Strong chains around the others soul;
God knows they cannot dwell alone,
Nor e'er dividing waters roll.
Well wed to-night-stay chast'ning rod
That we may bless the mighty hand
Which smites, and humbly trust in God,
Soon to unite the severed band.

In notice of the speeches made during the ses-

absence OF anything like abuse of political oppo-

usual for Wing speeches to be free from abuse of De-

their opponents, and this feature marks new era in
the history of the Wing party of the State Perhaps
there is good for this course; the Wings are
in minority, and they know their true policy TO be
Cancellation. We have no doubt the speeches in the
Democratic Convention will be equally free from
abuse-not because the Wing Convention set them
an example of moderation-but because such has
always been the course of conduct pursued by the
Democrats, pursua6ing their opponents, the w higs.

The INFLUX AND EFFLux. 1t is hard to say, which
way the tide of mmi gration flows the faster, from
Europe to New York, or from here to the shores Of
the Pacific. Think of the Illinois, taking nearly
eight hundred passengers for California, all at one
load, the other day. Yet this is but solitary instance
of what may be said to be every day fact.
Our exchanges from all parts of the country, the east
and ives, particularly, have all some reference to par

The WEATHER AND EARTHQUAKES. A correspon-
dent of the New York Journal of Commerce makes
the following observations With regard to the weather
and the recent earthquake:
"At4 a m, of Thursday, April %, the tempera-
ture was down to 81 degrees, within degrees of
the freezing point. At a. m. the atmosphere was
unusually bright temperature A. At 9, SO degrees
north and SO south, being most extraordinary rise
of IA degrees in 60 minutes. At p. m. it reached
&c, and at 2, 81 degrees; which is the highest, ex
cept the 18th of March, since the 2Ist October,
1851. About p. m. most powerful electric current
skeamed up to the zenith and beyond it, from below
the horizon in the southwest-the streamers diVerged
and the moment a cloud came in contact with this
current it became erystalized. At Is minutes 10
p m. severe earthquake was felt at Raleigh, N. C.;
about p. m. two shocks felt at Washington
city; and about the hour the scholars in one of
the schools Brooklyn Heights felt shock of earth
quake A similar stale of atmosphere existed on the
18th of March last. The temperature at and p.
m. was at 6S and SO degrees north that day
shock was felt at Guanajuato, Mexico. On the 2Ist

Tor hVe consecutive hours. attended by lightning
storm at Newburyport, Mass, and preceded by
earthquakes at Stagne Piccoli, Dalmatia. Thus
present the only three greaty-heated periods within
the last six months, and each connected with the
same cause-earhQuakes.''

BusH1Ne TOMATOES. Those who love good to-
matoes will take pains to cultivate them to in
sure them as near as many be in their full perfection.
There is no other fruit that delights in the air
and sunshine than the tomato. They should have
therefore abundance of room and the vines he sus-
tanned from falling TO the earth. have found stout
brush firmly set around the plants to answer the Pur-
nose better than any other method. The branches
have room to extend themselves they like, while
the limbs of the brush keep them in their positions.
By this method the fruit is more fully exposed to the
oenal influences of the air and sunshine, whereby
atlains more delicious flavor, larger size. and comes

INTERVIEW WITH THE Hon. HENRY CLAY. A
correspondent of the New York Express. who visi-
ted the room of Mr.. Clay and found him in company
with two friends from New York, few days ago
thus describes his appearance:
There is hardly strength enough in his hands TO
convey food to his mouth, and he is helped to and
tom his bed like feeble child. He rises very late
and he told me, has not known for a long time
what it was 20 enjoy an hour of sweet, refreshing
natural sleep. But like old forest oak, beautiful
even in its decay. The lusre of his eyes is undm-
med. He both and knows his friends. The
grasp of his hands is ferven earnest and kindly
impressive as ever il was. His voice continues to
be all sweetness and melody, except when its tones
are moved by that bodily weakness which makes it
painful for him speak-and it is always very pain
ful for him to speak long. Bnt greatest blessing
which God vouchsafes dying man is his.
He has that peace Of mind which the world can
neither give nor take away, and intellect I'M
clouded in the day of its greatest brilancy Most
of his thoughts devoted TO that change of exist
ence from which of exempt, and that
change may come in an hour or day, or 1t may be
postponed till the spring and summer flowers fade,
and die In the meantime MIR. Clay is tranquility pre-
pared for the messenger whenever he comes, and he
remarks of his death in confding, Christian split,
that though it may be presumption in him TO say so,
he looks toward to the world beyond the grave with
faith in God, and trust in a better lie.' He is men,
Der and COMMUNICATE of the Episcopal Church, and
among the few books in his room the Word of God
occupies the most conspicuous place."
