/ believe after q little while the salt interests
would help the iron interests; and if we take
off the sugar duty from gentlemen down in
louisiana, think after while they will come
to our ground; and if we should repeal the
law returning fugitive slaves. all the gentle
men in the Niger interest would soon help
us to take care of our iron. So, if you run
around these interests, and strike them down,
when we are all so low down together that we
cannot take care of ourselves, we shall begin
to feel as members of the same great country
ought to feel, each one willing to serve the

For the Gazette.

With many others / nave scanned the
course pursued in the Press against the
late Poor Directors, and was pleased to see
a well-merited castigation bestowed on Jas
tfce. name adopted more for show than
truth by the writer. The strangest thing
however to me in the whole proceeding
was the attack of the young man who has
the nominal control of the Press, in charg-
ing John Peachy, Esq,-for his reference
to an Old Students friend i'll the valley,
can mean no one else-with having bribed
the writer with fee of five dollars to de-
fend him. The newspaper press is useful
in various ways, but this affords another in
stance of how much it may be perverted
when in the hands of ignorance or incom-
potency Mr. Peachy, it is well known is
a member of the 0mish persuasion, COM
posed of men Of unquestioned integrity,
honesty, and fair dealing-men who
as peaceful and order-loving citizens stand
second to none in the United States-and
even distant insinuation that one of has
standing would be capable of offering a
bribe for such purpose as Is ascrlbed to
him in the Press, is an insult to the whole
society. As friend of Mr. p, I passed
over the insinuation first made as piece of
folly on the part of the editor, but as he
has hashed and rehashed his .fUe dottar
story until he possibly believes in its truth
and may induce others to believe it, it wiA
be as we'll to remind him that John Peachy
has not lived through long life of integ-
rity withot securing friends. lie Is now
absent but on his return this matter ought
to be called to his attention; and although
the Omish are under their rules Of govern
ment, averse to all law suits, ! think this
is case in which they ought to right one
of their most respected members. As the
truth can be given in evidence, the Press can
call on the gentleman to whom it ascribed
the authorship of An Old Student, as a
witness, and either establish his charge, or
stand confessed base calumniator. This
is due to the cause Of TRUTH.

Failure eff the Lancaster Bank.

During the recent session of the Legis-
lature, Thos. Fl. Burrowes, George Darsle
and j. Y. James were appointed COM
mittee to investigate the condition of the
institution and the causes of its failure
From their report, copy Of which is now
before me, It appears that Longenecker and
Bachman managed the bank to suit their
own views, and in most of the cases were
adroit enough to obtain the sanction of
the directors to the most shameful proceed
irgs. As our citizens lost severely by this
failure, the annexed extracts from the re-
port of the committee will perhaps prove
of interest to your readers:
The capital Of the bank was four hundred
and three thousand nine hundred dollars in
May, 1851, when the present charter went
into operation, and was nominally the same
till the failure 1t closed its doors on the 18th
Of November, 1856, when its apparent condi-
ton, as per weekly statement Of November %.
1856, was follows:
