such things eand be done in an extraordina-

one ?
It IS announced, unoficially, that the
Cleveland and Toledo Railroad Company
will pay dividend of per cent. next
month. This is no more nor less than was
expected by the frmest friends of the Com
pany. The stock has gradually recovered
in the market, and is now well sustained at
80. The Company has passed through a
severe season, and in the face Of its ele-
ments, has realized large receipts. It will
now participate largely in the business Of
Western Roads generally, and may now be
considered as portion Of the Great Trunk
line from Buffalo to Chicago, Indianapolis
and ST. Louis. We consider the prospects
of the Company as more favorable than at
any former period. We learn by passen-
gers from Chicago that the Michigan South
ern Railroad Company is also doing an uu-
precedented largo business. The receipts
are heavy for the month of March.
The interest due to-day on the bonds of
the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad Com
pany, was promptly paid at their Office in
this CITY.

A correspondent, says the Lqscaster
Pa Express, sends us the following inter
esting and important extract of letterfsoin
Thomas Jefferson to Gen. Smith, dated,
May 3, 1918. Having spoken of spirituous
liquors, DC, as an article of revenue and
commerce, he adds as follows:
"But tho prostration of body and mind
which the cheapness of liquor (whiskeyl i
spreading through the mass of our citizens
now calls the attention of the legislator on a
very different principle. One Of his most
important duties is, as guardian Of those
who cannot take care of then selves; such
are minors, ,maniacs, gamblers AMI. drunkards.
The last, j. e., drunkards, require restrictive
measures to save them from the fatal in-
fatuation under which he Is DESTROYING his
health, his morals, his family, and his use
fulness to society"
Thus it viii be perceived that the great
Apostle of Liberty, the father of Democracy
the venerated author of the declaration Of
our independence, was (what some of those
who at this day call themselves his disci-
ples) called fanatic on thesubject of intem-
peranee as well as on the slavery question.

w A. J. HARRIS, editor of the Cleve-

paper, in reference to the amount of the

ments now on hand says:
Mr.. Plympton, of the Library Committee,
has been overhauling the mass of Laws,
Journals, and Public Documents which have
accumulated in and about the old State
Buildings, and for which the people have
paid, and from which they have received nc
sort of benefit, not even the poor one of a
distribution. Some of the volumes are dated
in lS47, but large proportion bear dates
in 1858, 1854, and 1855. The aggregate
number of volumes, ascertained by counting,
is the enormous one of sirty-siz thousand
one hundred and sirty-tlOoi! 1t makes a
pile, in solid cubic measure, of about As
cords of Books =! the great majority worth
nothing except for waste paper. As speci-
mems, there are 1882 volumes of the Re
port of the Auditor of State, 1854; and
$4,000 copies of Receipts and Disburse-
ments, 1854, costly work of 351 pages.
There arc 1914 copies of Agricultural Re
ports, 1854; and 5000 of 1853.

fault with the printing bills run up under

culation issued by the banks of Ohio Nov.
1856, was only $9,O72,244, being s117,74

ing that with the amount of taxes locked

been left as circulating medium in Ohio

Trouble in the Camp.

As the time draws nigh for the assem-
bling of the Slave Democracy in National
Convention, the friends of the different can
didates grow fiercer and fiercer, and there is
danger that before the day comes the
prominent candidates will have performed
for each other the miracle of the Kilkenny
cats. We should regret this. The truth
is, Buchanan was becoming too formidable
for his rivaIs-he must be cut down, his
proportions must be reduced, and so the
friends of Pierce and Douglas have COM
menced the process. The extension Of
Slavery is to be made the test, and the Ne
braska act the rallying point. Buchanan
yields assent so far as to acquiesco in the
repeal of the restriction on Slavery, now
that 1t is done; but it is said that he was
opposed to the repeal of the Missouri COM
promise at the Time it was under considera-
ton, and it is assumed therefore he is not
sound on the great issue between Slavery
and Freedom. The Washington Union
seems determined to force him into defen-
sive position, from which, if it succeeds, he
will be hard torecover. The quarrel is as
suming an interesting shape, "Ion," the
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun. gives the latest phrase. He says
"There is now rumor afoat that Mr. Bu-
chanan, if he be thrown out of the conven-
ton, will run democratic, anti-Nebraska
stump, in revelations as to his opinion on
the subject of the Missouri compromise"
What! run as an anti-Nebraska candi-
datel That can never be permitted. That's

BUSINESS ON the U. G. R. R. AT C1N-

"An item of underground railroad intel
ligence came to my notice the other day,

woman passed through here some weeks

attempts previously, and this time she came
armed, determined to be freed or die.
"The Underground Railroad is very much
travelled at present. Mrs. L. S. Blackwell,

(where over 5000 of Underground stock

To the Members Of the American Party in indiana:
At meeting of the Executive committee
of the State Council, held at indianapolis OF
the I'd day of April, 1856, after full ex-
preston of the members upon those ques-
tions that have divided and distracted the
American party in other States, the commit
tee unanimously adopted the following sug-
gestions, and earnestly request the true
friends of Americanism to cooperate with
them in carrying ont the views of the com
mittee: That as in 1854 we stand unprom
isingly opposed to the present corrupt na
tional Administration, and as party which
aims to put an end to its misrule. And
further, we regard the repeal of the Mis-.
souri, Compromise an infraction of plighted
faith of the nation; the same should be re-
stored, and if efforts to that end fail, Con-
gress should refuse under all circumstances
to admit any State into the Union tolerating
slavery, made fee by that Compromise
Therefore, we approve of the call for a Peo-
ple's Convention to be held on the first day
of May next and earnestly call upon the
American party throughout the State to
send a full delegation to that Convention

sacrifice.
