the Bank of England At the commence
taent Of the present year the Bank OF

Secleta fy.
Judge Dunn's Principles.

The gfeatest difficulty Mr.. Washhurp
has with Judge Dunn is to get him
to state his principles. The fact is,
Judge Dunn dare not express his senti-
ments before the people. The convention
that nominated him dare not avov their
principles. They know the people would
scout them and blow up their candidate
And they will do it yet. They know him
WHO he is,-that he is Buchanan, Lee
compton, bred Sctt, National Dem ocrat
of the straightest sect-that if in Congress
he would go 20 whatever length of pro
slaverylsln the Administration should d.
r. cit hat he would vote to keep Kansas
with her free Constitution out of the Union
orever-that he wonlI vote to establish
slavery in Utah or Wisconsin as the Su.
preme Court should require. Such are
Judge Dunn's spolitical principles. Will
the people endorse them p Mineral Point

Even with the many defects of the pres
ent Assessment Law, and Notwithstanding
the opposition and the fact that so MANY
Assessors have done their work with the
sole view TO make the law unpopular, the
average result appears highly favorable.-
Generally, the assessments on real property
are twice or three times as much as last
year on real estate, AMI from three to four
times is much oa personal property. Cons
sequently the rate per cent. will not be as
great by Il hall to two-thirds as under the
old law. II, therefore, some are to be the
losers, many, Very many will be the gsiii-
ers The gain will he to the owners Of
fan Improperly ,ss to those who are
assessed on personal property. Let the law
be amended in many particulars, especially
SO as to reserve no property from valua-

"HARK FROM THE ToMBs. "A number Of

meetings at the Parker House, in Boston, the re.
suit Of which has been the production of an
"Address to the Wing voters Of Massachusetts,.
This has been circulated for week or ten days.
and about two hundred signatures have been
obtained to it. The signers say that they have
taken the first steps towards reorganization of
the party in Massachusetts,, by designating

nominate Whig ticket for the ensuing State
election, but advise that Wing voters should
"throw their votes in the way most likely to de.
feat the election Of the candidates of the Repub.

In reference to this movement, the Boston

with its accompanying comment:

gigantic attempt is to be made by a number of
