DEcLINATIoN.-The Hon. j. c. Breckenridge
declines making canvass for Congress in the
Ashland district, KY. He says he has been
aware for more than year that it would not
be in his power at present to make another
canvass, but deemed it decorous to withhold
the announcement until the completion Of the
term for which he was elected. He says in his
card:
TO my political opponents, desire to ex.
press my acknowledged for the general fair.
ness and courtesy of their course in conflicts
characterized by great excitement. If, like
myself, they feel no sting in recurring to the
past--I am sure we shall jog on together in
social life with reciprocal sentiments Of good
will. Indeed, the old Wing party Of the Ash
land district was bold and manly party, and,
for my part, ] have seen it surrender its name,
and lower its flag, with regret. We retire from
the field together; but should it ever be my
fortune to re-appear on the political theatre,
shall be happy to welcome our old friends in
their old uniform--of whom, at least, it could
be said that under the name Of Wings they
offered a fair field and an open encounter"

to lock up such funds as they may have left in

operations Of the Mint.
The money drawn from the banks in this CITY
during the past week shows an aggregate Of
over S3,250,OOO. This sum may exceed, or it
may not come up to the trdth, but it cannot
vary very much from what a transcript of the
books would show in any event. How small
portion of this immense amount would have
been sufficient to protect Messrs. Page, Bacon
& Co., on the night on which they closed, had
they but taken any steps to properly represent
their condition, or rather had they not stud-
ously concealed from the other bankersl And
how much Of the misery which has fallen upon
thousands throughout the State--how much of
the disarrangement Of trade, present and to
come, and the evils attendant thereon--is to
be attributed to the most singular course of
this house, throughout this entire business.
Messrs. Page, Bacon a Co.'s statements have
been pretty thoroughly sifted Of late, and it is
beginning to be admitted that they do not
tally in, all parts as closely as they should.
This may be the result of the hurry in which
they were made up, although some two or three
days elapsed after the closing Of the house
they were made public but the pretexts Of the
notes of Page Il Bacon, in New York, for
$4,000, at time when the house of Page.
Bacon 4 Co had there, according to their own
statement, 100000, is something more than
singular.

deplore late riots, outrages, &C., but If it had
been honest, it would not have lard the origin
of them upon the American party. There is
is no principle in this party that in the reno
test. degree aims at confusion or mobocracy-
but these evils have arisen from the vile
teachings and infammatory appeals of the an
ti-American demagogues, who have sought to
make foreigners believe this party is compo-
sed of "scoundrels, "thieves," "murderers ,
and "assassins," who were determined to pre-
vent, even by blood, if necessary, foreign
born citizens from voting. These are the
men who ought to deplore scenes of riot,
murder and arson. The appeal to men to
leave "foul conspiracy" which advocates
not an opinion, principle or idea or motive of
action, which in the remotest degree has a
tendency towards producing such scenes, is
as knavish as it is falsely slanderous on the
American party.
But this is enough for one day and little
paper. We shall alude to the other resolu-
tons tomorrow.

He had engaged passage to silver creek,
having few bundles of sacks for that point
and was in the act of throwing one of the

preparatory to landing with the yawl, when
he lost his balance and pitched overheard
his head striking the yawl. The steamboat
was under way at the time, but the crew,

We were unable to give our readers the
preamble of the platform yesterday, but we
copy it to- av from the Sentinel. Here it is:
WHEREAS, AS we have assembled here to.
day as Mass Meeting Of the National De-
mocracy of Indiana, we deem it more appro-
pirate TO postpone adopting any resolutions
upon State policy until our next State Con-
vention shall be called to nominate candi-
dates for State offices.
That is to say, being interpreted, "As we
want to elect . lot of county officers this
fall, and it can't very we'll be done on our
unmixed liquor platform, we propose to say
nothing about the liquor law now, SO that our
friends up North can pull the prohibitory
string with some effect, and our equally hon.
est and jealous friends in the South can pull
the anti-prohbitory string with equal effect.
Our. principles being exceedingly 'immutable'
(see third resolution) we have found it nee
essary to drop one of them. to abandon it, to
give it up, and having accomplished that, we
remain very 'immutable' on all that we have
not thought it necessary to change or aban-
don. '-Stdte Jour.
