IRA singular trial is now in progress in one
of the Providence (R. H. courts. Some time
since a young lawyer of Providence was le-
tected, al The Marlboro Hotel, Boston, dress
ed in women's clothes. His female wardrobe
"a very valuable one, worth some hundreds
of dollars-was taken from him and delivered
into the hands Of Providence policeman,
who was to give it 10 the lawyers wife. She
being away from the place, it was not cone
and the owner has had the officer arrested for
theft, for keeping the clothes from him.
An amusing list OF this clothing was publish
ed in one of the Providence papers q few
days ago, which showed q very extensive Ge-
ma lie outfit.
The case is exciting much interest, as
the gentleman, besides being a married man,
is a Church Member and a Sunday School
Teacher.

9rThe Buffalo Advertiser, which condemn

repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, and which

praise worthy effort 10 mitigate the excitement.
There is no paper in the State Of New York
that now takes juster views of the whole sub.
ject Of the Nebraska bill. We invite attention
10 the following passage;
The whirlwind Of agitation. which Gov.
Seward, in his fsmous letter to some Boston
folks 10 1851, compared 10 in beneicent, pu.
rlfying effects 10 the blessed winds Of heaven,
cannot again be excited like it was then
Even the acquisition Of Cuba, If II shall ever
be made, though It may cause much warm dis
c~ussion, and profoundly move The public mind
will not provoke the excitement and passion
we have seen in past years. 1t is undeniable
that the piinciply enunciated in the bill or
p~anizing The territories OF Kansas or Nebraska,
namely, that the actual population Of a State
shall determine under what institutions they
will live, is in accordance with the sentiment
of the great majority OF the American people.
II has been acted upon all, and underlies oui
entire theory of government and policy. II
was asserted when California was admitted al
n State into the Union, and when the terrific.
ries Of Utah and New Mexico were organized.
II there has been a Missouri compromise, no
strong opposition would have been made to Tho

T-The election is over, and it is hoped mo-

pare for the'cold weather and get our necessary

10 go and supply themselves while their stock
contains such handsome selections of the fin

with those ready manufactured, they will get

TWe think we're possessed of as much
philosophy as any body, but VIZ mus, confess
our amiableness Of temper and sweetness of
disposition has been somewhatriled during the
last week. Every democratic exchange we
have opened, has astonished our eyes by in.
veried cocks, laughing coons and ether cleo
pioneering emblems, with such sentiments a,
this, in glaring capitals, "Defeated but not
conquered !" From Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Indiana, the same shout comes up responsive,
and makes democrats feel, If they are nc,
"eonqured," they are most Id badly beat
en-! But, there's no use Of ~talking-we'l
gather up our discsmftted and routed hosts,
and the next time we march to the contest,
we'll give the opponents of democratic men
and measu res--fts, by thunder

THE FLECTI0N.

We have not much objection to a decent
defeat, but to be so essentially FUSED up" is
more than we expected, and Of course we care
very little about speaking OF The result, or even
remembering that such an event happened as
did occur on the 10th of October. Had the
democrats been spared Congressmen enough in
the states OF Ohio, Pennsylvania anc Indiana
to ',slrear by," we should not have taken on
so hard, but so complete has been the route,
that not one is left to tell the tale! Very well,
let those who win laugh, we shall have our
election one Of these days, and well not leave
a grease spot of anything opposed to democrat
ic men and measures. We did think Of "gas-
sing'' a little upon the result anG the causes
which produced it, but, speculation would per-
haps be productive Of no substantial good, and
we'll conclude by saying thrt, the people got
the dell into their heads, and just did it be-
cause they could, and the democratic candi.
dates would have been elected, but the y "d,d
not get uotes snsugh!" We do not intend tt
cry or make q fuss, but we'll be gosh darnet
il we intend to go up salt river this time. w
calculate TO stay in "fhese ~diggins' and lool
out for "black ducks" and when the mex
-.'good time'' comes around we'll be on hant
to improve the occasion. II anybody wants
to expatiate upon elections, let him look at tn
results Of Tuesday week and spread himself
''Ths least said is soonest msnded," therefore
we shall conclude this little say by saying tc
our friends and the rest Of mankind that, We
shall be highly indignant, If any one presume'
so fas upon our good nature and forbearance
as to even allude to the occurrences of the l0tl
inst, because they are repugnant to our "phe
.lings" and we do not wish TO have our tende
ssnsibilities narrowed up by any unpleasan
references. We do not know who threw tina
first last brick, but we do know that, democ
zacy is a used up community just now, but gu
principles ore eternal and must triumph.
Truth crushedfo earth will rise again
The eternal years of God are hers,
But error fallen writhes in pain
And dies amid her worsh:ppers."

ExrR A SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

Circumstances alter cases and change opin-
ions, and public sentiment in this Slate, will
demand ere long, an extra session of the Leg
I~slsture, and yieldingt to the tendency that way,
we hope Governor MEDiLL will call together
the law max lug power, for the purpose of
amending or repeating the present Tar Lam.
Repeating the small note Law, which is a null
lily by common consent on our statute books,
aud passing a law, giving our citizens Bank
ing privileges, at least, equal to those enjoyed
by other States. With shame we confess that,
such Legislation as cursed Ohio last winter,
ought to be sufficient to damn any party. We
were mortified at the time the enactments above
enumerated were passed, asd it took no pro-
phetic vision to foretell the results and conse-
quences. The line Of liberal, safe Legisla.
ton was entirely overStepped, and the most
uncomfortable ulraism forced upon the people.
Curses and denunciations, loud and deep, have
been the merited praise of the Law making So
Ions since their adjournment, and public sen
timent has been demanding for months, an un-
doing Of what was 80 lily donel The people
have reluctantly kind Of half Obeyed the laws
in some places, in others set them at open de-
fance, and we confess, we have been aston
shed at the tame submission by the people of
Ohio, to the most iniquitous, and infamous and
oppressive laws ever enacted by any legisla-
ture. We can scarcely speak respectfully Of
The laws or those by whom they were enacted,
and we hope Governor MEDiLL will give the
last legislature an opportunity to undo all the
bad legislation they did, and pass such laws as
the exigency Of The times and public sentiment
demand. The idea OF taxing men upon their
indebtednsss, is to say the least Of it, one ofthe
most silly ideas that yer emanated from a shall
low-pated fool, who. incapable of producing
anything beneficial, gains notoriety and infa-
my by conceiving an iniquItous scheme OF tax
alton. We want 10 see every man taxed upon
tphdt he is north, and Banks like individuals.
A few months ago, we could not have thought
OF a more impolitic measure than an extra SEES
sion of The Legislature, but under existing cir
cumstances, we believe il is a duty Governor
MEDILL owes 10 the State and his constituents
10 forthwith issue lis proclamation, calling the
Legislature together for the purposes above
enumerated, and such other business as may
PREF ent itself. The present state Of affairs in
Ohio calls loudly for Reform, and as the local
law making power had the lions share in pro-
d%ucing this condition, let The work commence
at that point. We hold up both hands for on
extra session, and a repeal Of the present Tax
Law, the small note Law, and a liberal Bank
ing Lew, for our present Banking facilities are
not sufficient 10 accommodate our commercial
Interests. Let everybody speak out upon the
subject, and when the Law makers go up to
the scenes OF last winters folly, let them &c
up understanding what the people want and
Iaxnact aE.'.

UFew men have more bitterly expiateda
single crime, than Matt. F. Ward, Yet bis
punishment does not seem any nearer the end
now, than when he first went forth from Lou

ger Of scorn pointed at him whichever way be
looked or turned his face.
The following handful was freely circulated

"BL00D HOUNDS"
