SAMUEL BAKER, who has been in Jail in

orse- stealing, was brought tefore Judge
VHiTsLEY, on Saturday evening last, on

housand dollars to three hundred, which,
being gwen, he was set at liberty. Consid
.ring that the Court meets in the course OF
hbout two weeks, it is difficult to under
stand why an effort was made TO have his
bail reduced 10 such pittance, unless it was

BAKER has stated that he had accomplces

We look upon this virtual acquittal without
investigation, as trihing exceedingly with
the interests Of community.
Delinquent Subscribers.
We sent out, this week, n collector TO
Van Buren, with accounts for subscriptions
on the paper. amounting 10 between thirty
and forty dollars, most Of which were due
fIom the commencement OF the paper up to
January last. After securing the country
over, he succeeded in finding two or three
of The subscribers, most Of the others having
gone to parts unknown. A great portion Of
them are men Of property, and especially OF
the class who are exceedingly sensitive, in
regard to the cash system; and think when
we require them to comply with the pre-.
payment system, we are rejecting on their
honesty, or doubling their TeSponsibility:--
our collector returned, having succeeded in
obtaining the enormous sum Of two dollars.
Such are the fruits of the credit system.
1Don,t Behave in Meeting"
The Perrysburg JouRssL complains that
one of the distinguished democratic cti
xens Of Findlay. while attending Court in
Pcuysburg, did not behave himself with be. (
coming propriety in church, in that place,
on6 goes on tc enumerate few Of the "ca
-fers he cut ups" such as taking upon him
lefy airs, 'bobbing around while in Church,
. aud finally getting up and leaving abruptly
before the service closed, in such n way rs
that he had like to haveswept away"a third
part" Of the congregation with the ample
folds of his long.tailcd "Shaghai" This
was really too bad, but we have thls excuse
TO offer: the gentleman, not having been al
Church before for nine or zen years, had lost
. the run Of church decorum, aud had to take
as n "preccdenr' that of the Court Of Com
mon Pleas.
The Minister, it seems. in the course OF
the sermon, took occasion TO speak of the
evils Of American slavery, and likc~the In
dian fur dealer, our legal friend took that
talk as specially intended for him, and i'm
ncdiately "soped." Well. this is not
strange, for the Democratic party, by SYM \
patty and association, have so fully identi-
fed themselves with slavery, as to regard
opposition to this institution as an insult to 1
them.
The Laws.
We publish, this week, the Bank Law to
be voted on by the people OF the State, in
October next. Our readers would do we'll
TO give attention to it, so that they may be
able to vote eunderstandingly. There is much
need of more efficient banking system, and
ifthis law is calculated 10 meet the case, III
should by all mems be adopted. With this
law we close the publiation Of the laws.
Communications.
We have not been able TO accommodate
all our contributors, yet. We have several
communications on hand that we have been
compelled to lay over. Our correspondents
must prepare their productions carefully, and
manage so that they do not occupy more
than column OF space.
We find il impossible to revise, much less
re-write, the numerous productions OF this
kind which we receive from time to time.
