A negro giving his name as David Atkins,

goInmbisna county, on last week. His appeals
~ the hospitality Of well known professors OF
negro humanity were disregarded,. and IN his

trunk and purloined the money and ring.

IfIaH TIME IN Mr. PLEAsAST.--0ne Of those
by no means uncommon incidents which have
marked the history OF the Ohio banks within the
last lew months, occurred at Mt Pleasant yes
tcrday A man arrived in town with consider

Branch Bank, for which he wanted specie -
It soon became noised through the village and ad-
jacent country that "brokerH had come to town
to make a t'run" ON their Bank, which created
tgreat sensation" The village bells were rung
and the tiremen were brought out. The 'broad
brims'' came in from the country in hot haste
and in numbers as is rarely Witnessed on any
other occasion than when some favorite black
Republican is to be voted into an office. Zach

The man who wanted the Bank to give him mon

for the purpose OF making the demand, lie was
not permitted to come within speaking distance
Of the sacred portals. Unable to effect his pnr-
pose, hs retired TO hunt lodgings. but the usual
" hospitable citizens Of Mt. Pleasant gere so
much ineensed at his presumption in asking
their bank to do what it promised, that they
closed their doors against him, and he was fore

tied. Who he was or how much Of tho tim he
wanted from the bank, we did not learn.--Stsat,

GIVE are sorry to observe In certain papers,
indications that bear remarkable resemblance
10 an attempt to dictate the course which Sena.
tor PUGII, and other democratic members
Congress from Ohio, shall pursue on the Kaasas
imbroglio This is not only in bad taste but
should be checked at once Let our Senator
and Representatives be left free to act as their
best Judgement shall direct after all the facts
shall have been fully developed and considered.
If they look to the press for instruction, they
will find the Ohio Democratic papers far from
unanimous on the subject. Some have taken
strong ground in favor of receiving Kansas in
whatever way she may present herself under the
Lecompton constitution. Others (not many how
evef) have. worked themselves into fever uader
the 4alacious idea that popular sovereignty cannot
be exercised through the medium Of delegate
body chosen directly from the people and by the
people, for u specific purpose. But by fan the
larger number oil democratic papers in Ohio,
have persstently declined to aid in the heated
and protitless agitation of this subject. Nor
has their action resulted from an absence Of feel
ing in the premises. Not Democratic editor
in Ohio but would have preferred that euay svl-
labte of the Lecompton constitution had been
submitted b. its trainers to a vote of the people.
They hold that to have done so would have bet
ter accorded with the genius Of Democracy
But they neither hold nor admit, (says the lNew-
E,k Aarocate) that such submission was pledged
by the terms of the Kansas Nebraska act nor
by the platform of the Cincinnati convention
In both cases, the great point sought to be en-
breed aud established, was that Congress had no
authority to legislate on the domestic concerns
II the States and Territories, but that these
we're matters which belonged exclusively to the
States and Territories themselves. This was
