sconmErpApIn HonrsrH.-A short time AGO,

Gen. f.. b. TYLER, of this place, lett tor Virginia,
for the purpose Of purchasing furs. Arriving at
Wellsville, he put up over night at the Missouri
House, the best hotel in the town, In getting
ready to start the next morning, he laid down his
pocket-book, containing several thousand dollars
in money, drafts &C., nd started off on his jour-
ney without it, not missing it until he had been
some time on his journey. When he discovered
his loss, he mounted the horse of Mr.. CHITTENDEN
who was in company with him, and rode back to
the hotel, where he found everything go. K -
Miss MARTHA HENDERSON, the chamber-maid of
the House. discovered the pocket-book on going
to put the in order, and called of the boys
of the House, telling him what she had found. 1t
was then placed in the hands of the landlady, Mrs.
CRosIER, where Gen. TYLER found it after a
horseback ride of 54 miles through the cold. A
less honest and Conscientious servant might have
! appropriated the funds to her own. use.
The Washington correspondent of the Slate
Democrat, says that Mr.. Guthrie has made sad
havoc with the offices created by Mr.. Corwln and
other members of the late Wing Administration.
In his late report he says:
"Many applications have been made for ap-
pointments secret inspectors of the customs
| Upon examination, it was found that it bad grown
into practice for the department, Tits discretion,
to appoint secret inspectors of the customs at diff
ferent rates of compensation and that atterly the
number of such appointments had greatly increas-
ed. A statement of those thus employed since
! the Goth September, 1850, with the rate of COM
pensation allowed, accompanies this report. 1t
could not be ascertaned that any advantage to the
revenue had resulted from the employment Of this
class of officers, and their employment was dis
continued.
In pursuance of this, AZ confidential agents.
among them Thomas w. Upton, john G. Camp,
and Lauren Dewey from this State, were sent
adrift.
Now, as to the service, another very pret-
ty place to store away favorites. The Secretary
says: -.
can examination was also made into the reve-
nue. cutter service, with view to ascertain the
character of the service and its efficiency. 1t was
found that large number of additional officers
had just been appointed, and after allowing cap
tain and three lieutenats to each vessel there were
still twenty seven officers more than the service
required or the law allowed. The matter was
submitted to the President and the supernumerary
officers dismissed
A list of tacentynine captains, first second and
third lieutenants were dropped from this service
on the 18th of April
Now, how can it be expected otherwise, than
all these gentlemen will denounce Secretary
Guthrie, together with the bankers who have
heretofore had millions of the public money to
speculate on for freely using the pruning knife!

Retailers profit at 30 per ct,

@IstdOsoOO
By the rule of apportionment adopted in the
message, this last sum is small enough to be pla-
ced instead of the $5,0OO,9OO there used. was
laughed at in New York last fall by an importer
to whom l remarked that their profits were proba-
bly, not far from ten per cent. Hence I have not
hesitated to put them at Is. No one will think
l have marked the profits ofretailers too high.
But this sum of $7,475,OO is not our share of
national burden. Considering numbers alone, in
Ohio, we should start with six millions received
into the national treasury from the inhabitants
We should pay, then, about $9,OOO,OOO; and this
last sum would have been 'drawn'' from US this
last year, instead of the $5,OOO,O0O mentioned in
the message. But when we take into considera-
ton the great commercial activity of the people of
this State, as compared with some portions of the
Union, believe the general government receives
much more than six millions of the fifty y-eight that
goes into its coffers from customs on foreign goods
sold and consumed within our borders. I am will
ling, however, to concede that $4,000, 200, per-
haps, might have been large enough to have stood
in the place of the five millions. The footing of
the table in the message, thus corrected, would
show the "anpual burden of the people of the
State to be $l9, 1O1,l66.
But the federal tax s'drawn FROM our people,
which is included in this amount, is imposed upon
foreign goods SOLELY 1t is safe to say that we
sumo an equal amount of domestic articles, which
have the benefit of the protection afforded them by
the tariff on the foreign. Without going through
the different steps of the proof at this time, shall
venture to assert that the people of Ohio pay an
other Of nearly equal amount which goes to
the cotton and wooden manufactures, iron mon
gers, and sugar growers of the United States
VIII this be disputed! In short way, appeal
to the disturbances at Erie, and to the resolutions
and other acts of the people of Ohio, relative to
those disturbances. In the complaits that have
been made against Pennsy lvania, it is claimed in
our Legislature, and everywhere in the public
journals, by Wings as we'll as democrats, that
Ohio has paid as much as ten millions in ten years
to Pennsylvania, by reason of the duty on iron
alone; and every hand it is urged that
Congress repeal that duty, and stop this annual
5opus or eburden," which the iron-nterests of
Pennsylvania have been "drawing from Ohio. Tl

Our Nominees.

Ok We place the nanes of the candidates nominal
cd by the Democratic State Convention on the
18th, at the head of our columns this week. They
were not it is true, the first choice of the Democ-
racy Of this county, but they were fairly nomi-
mated, and are every way worthy of, and we doubt
not will receive, the cordial and united support
of the Democracy of all sections of the State.
Mr.. Norris is now Judge Of the Common
Pleas for the counties of Clermont, Brown and
Adams, and in that position has gained high
reputation as judicial officer, second to none in
the State. He has also had an extensive expert
enee as legislator. His qualifications for the
Office are are of the first order.
Mr.. Miller is the present able and faithful Mem
her of the Board of Public Works, and the una
nigsity with which he was nominated, after serv-
Tag for three years in that capacity, shows how
well his servises are appreciated.

PROTECTION. Our neighbor of the Whig dt g.
nies that it is "a Wing doctrine that protection
makes an article cheaper, rer se," but argues
at some length to prove that such would be the
result by creating competition, and that though
the price Of the protected article might be some
what augmented, still it would be relatively les
sened by the creation Of "home market which
would afford the agriculturist still greater in
crease in the price of his productions. Happily
we have had some little experience under the
"protectiye SYSTEM" and that which has been de.
nounced as a"I Iscofoco, British, Free Trade Tar
if" and that experience has but served to explode
the bubble of protection and show that its
promised blessings were call in your eye" Let
our nsighbor consult the records during the four
years of the tariff of lS42, and compare it with
q like period under the tariff of ls46-"put that
and that together'-and then say under which
system the people haye prospered most, and un-
der which the labor of the agriculturist has been
most literally rewarded.

We returned home on Friday last after week =
absence attending the Democratic State Con-
vention,- at Columbus, and the Editorial Conyen-
ton, at Cincinnati --.
The official proceedings of the former have al
ready appeared in our columns. 1t was one of
the largest conventions ever held in the State,
every county but ne-Geauga--being represent
ed. After the convention had adjourned the Gus
toniary celebration of the 9Th Of January took
place at the American House, where toasts were
given and eloquent speeches made.
The Legislature was in session but short
time during our stay, but we learn that the busi-
ness of the session was being pushed forward
with commendable dispatch
On Monday we left for the Queen City to at
tend the Editorial Convention. We h1ve not
yet treccved the official account Of its proceedings.
There were about hundred members of the edi-
torial fraternity in attendance during the con-
veItion, and the proceedings were conducted in
perfect harmony and good feeling. An excel
lent address on the "Moral Power and Rresponsi-
biIty of the Press by E. d. Mansfield; letters
from Horace Greeley and others were read; res
olutions werc offered discussed and adopted. The
committee of arrangements and the members
Of the city Press spared no pains to render the
visit to the Queen City an agreeable one. Indeed,
itseemed as though the chief object Of the con-
vention was to enable the members of the Press
to have great old time,' interchange sentiments
and cultivate more intimate acquaintance with
each other. In that respect it will, doubtless be
productive of beneficial results.
The Convention adjourned to hold its next ses-
sion In GAINESVILLE.
CouRrs.--We learn from the Slate Democrat
that bill passed the Senate on the 18th, fixing
the times of holding the Common Pleal Courts in
the 9th judicial district. The several terms in
tl1s county, as provided in this bill, will COM
commence the same as last year, to wit:

strained, eFery inch Of canvas spread, as they
careered over the waters, dead before the wind,
for home The Sylph led, closely followed by
the Ripple, her sailing master 'maneuyering
for the weather gauge, to take the wind out of
the Sylph's sails; on first rounding the stake,
they came down steering full one point to the
westward Of the home stake. After trying this
for some time without effect, the Ripple sud-
denly jibed, trying to cover the Sylph's sails.
The Sylph 's, however, too quick for her, as
she immedia ely jibed and shot acrossher bows,
retaining tie weatber-gauge on that tack
They now st cred full one point to the eastward
of the home take, the Ripple maneuvering to
pass the So phi, first to windward and then to
leeward. They continued their course until
within, perhaps, quarter of mile Of home,
when they were almost due east from the home
stake. The Ripple suddenly jibing at this
spot, covered the iSylph's mainsail, shot ahead
Of her, and led in thirty-thr seconds ahead

At a few minutes past IL o'clock the signal
was given for the Yachts to form into line. In
q moment the waters were covered with the
white sails Of the fleet. Then commenced sail
ing and counter sailing, as though all were anx-
ious for the trial, yet DESTROYS of giving their
friends a touch of their quality before entering
intothe contest 34a minutes after II o'clock

Like high mettled eoursers freed from the hands
of their trainers they bounded off,. 1t is almost
needless to say that the Sylph took the lead,
as believe the same has been said of nearly
every race she ever run. The wind was from
east northeast and blowing fresh. The first
stake was to the eastward, making nearly a
dead beat Before reaching it, however, the
wind hauled round to the south. east, and SO
continued for the remainder of the race.
AS the yachts were going from US it was diff
cult to tell their relative positions until they
reached the first stake. the Sylph rounding
first, the Ripple good second, the Stiagaree
third, the Mystery fourth, the Spray fifth, the
pe'ature sixth, and lest the Sparro,p. After
rounding this stake they had the wind abeam
until the next. which they rounded in the same
order; the Ripple being 80 seconds behind the
sylph. They came for home with the wind
dead after them, every sail set and jbs doomed

the following order and time:

Rror At LASALLE-On Sunday of last week,
a mob of about twenty. five men belonging to
canal boats lying in the basin, attacked two
German boarding houses, situated nearly oppo
site the canal lock, with stones and bludgeons,
demolished the doors and windows above and
below, entered the dwellings and drove the ter
rifed inmates from the premises, and destroyed
nearly all the furniture and every thing else
they could lay their hands on. : The Union City
says that, as far as can De ascertained. there
was not the least provocation given for this most
wanton outrage.
