Gus well authenticated certificates place the

D1ABoLIoAL ATTEMPT.-Two men. named
Andrew Williams and Alfred Todd, were ar
rested yesterday, at the instance of Captain
Conley, for attempting the destruction of the
steamer New Lucy, by placing keg of pow
der inside one of the cabin stoves. There was
no ire in the stove at the time, the intention
being to insert the keg and cover it up SO that
when lire was applied the explosion would
take place. The consequences which might
nave resulted, had not the design been dis
rible.

Mr.. EpIToR:-

Mr. EDIroR:-
How is it that some times when it is cloudy
and dark we have no gas lights in the streets,
and at other times when the moon shines clear
and bright the lamps are burning all night?-
Tuesday night the moon shone four or five
hours in the fore part of the night, yet the
lamps were lighted some half hour after sun
down. 1t some times happens also that the
lamps are burning in the streets and market
house for considerable time after day light.
Gascosts money and the people pay it.

Mr.. FYImcre's Amerisanism The quaker
fae&aru


The Law men of this State have endeavor-
ed to justify their premeditated treachery TO
their party by expressions of doubt as to the
devotion of Mr.. Fillmore to the American
cause. In confirmation of their position, It
has been said, in the Albany State Register
an elsewhere, that a certain letter written by
Mr.. F. to Quaker gentleman in Philadelphia
revealed the fact that he did not act with, ana
support the American party in this State
In refutation of these statements the letter in
q ,estion has been given to the public, and is
subioined. It is most signal answer to the
SANDERS that have been directed towards the
writer, and must cause his calumniators to
hide their heads with shame. 1t will be re-
membered that severe domestic affection, to-
gether with the fact that he had but recently
retired from the highest position in the Ma
ton, had withdrawn Mr.. f. almost wholly
from the political arena. Still in his retire
ment his heart beat response to the upheav-
ings Of the popular heart. The following let
ter is an effective and Statesmanlike defence
of the position Of the American party, ard
shows that while many who are denouncing
him were working in the ranks ofour oppo
nents, and against our candidates, Miilard
Fillmore by his pen and his vote was giving
practical expression to his devotion to the
great cause in which we are embarked:

Iaru, MUIR, &c, slo,cn Irom
On Sunday night last some person entered ther,
dwelling house of W. w. Holden, in this City, and
stole gold watch belonging to William Peace, ESQ.
The watch found the next morning in one Of
the windows of the Standard oiiice,-the rogue no
doubt having concluded that if he attempted TO dis
pose of it. he would be detected. The watch
stolen from the mantelpiece in Mr.. Peaccs room.
Nothing else was missed. 1t was found uninjured
and running.
We noticed in our last, the burglary committed in
Gov. Manly's dwelling house month or so since,
and the recovery of his watch, which stolen at
the time.
This disregard of law, lately manifested in
this community, calls for the utmost vigilance
and the sternest measures the part of the
officers of justice. The free negro population,
for the most part idle and vicious is altogether too
numerous. They should be made in every instance
to exhibit evidence of good character or be driven
out from the community. Those Of them, whether
men or women, who are not habitually industrious,
are priua tacie rogues and vagabonds and should
be dealt with accordingly Weare also satisfied that
slaves are furnished with liquor by white men, as here
tofore and that unlawful trading with slaves is still
carried on. We are determined to do our duty in
these matters, and We call upon the City officers to
do theirs. Our paper is open to the public; and we
invite all who may know of violations of the law, to
make the fact public through our columns, so that
the police may be aroused to just sense of duty,
and put upon the track of the criminal or criminals.
The first duty of all governments is to protect the
lives and the property of the people. All they ask
is an efficient police and dgovernment-moderate tax
es properly and judiciously expended for City pur-
poses and such course will diminish, instead
of increasing, the excessive of ardent Spirits
The people entitled to this; and if they do not
have it, it will be because they prefer sms and par
ty, and the promotion of few favorites to their own
best interests.
