no advocates Of bogus banks, whether in
this city or in Wisconsin, and for either one
have no word of commendation. but at the

stand ready to exchange Florence for the

credited, and mark the florence at only 9Oc
on the dollar. Now is your time, all who
wish to get rid Of your Wisconsin brok en-

knowledge that the Wisconsin banks are
worth dime apiece. but at any rate they
are ten per cent better than Florence, and

Death of Gen. Ouitman.

We learn from the Memphis papers of the 18th,
that Gen. JOHN 4. QUITMAN died at his residence
Natchez on the evening of the l6th Of disease
contracted at the National Hotel at Washington
last fall. Few men, says the Memphis Bulletin,
have maintained more enviable reputation for
spOtless integrity Of personal character than the
deceased He was, in the best and highest mean
ing Of the term, good man, because a sincere and
honest one. The military distinction won by him
in Mexico, is familiar to the whole country. He
leaves none like him, in all the high attributes
which made up the man, in the State he loved SO
well.
A gentleman-himself member Of Congress
mentioned in our presence yesterday, an incident
which shows the high estimation in which Gen.
oUITMAN was held by his brother members of that
body. 1t was, that Gen QUITMAE was the only
member Of the House of Representatives who, by
universal consent, was permitted to speak beyond
the hour to which members were limited by the rule
of the House That was a testimonial to his great
wOrth-the promptDgs of the hearts of men of all
shades Of opinion in politics-Which outWeighs
everything that may be said now that he is dead

The New Party.

We shall chronicle, from time to time for the fun
as well as for the news of the hing the progress Of
the attempted fusion Of Know NOthiHgism and AbO-
litiOnism under the style of the Crittenden Amend
ment Party"
The abolition general committee Of Albany coun-
ty, New York, met on the 18th inst, and adopted a
preamble and resolutions defining the position Of the
Administration and the Opposition on the Kansas
question aud other issues, concluding as follows:
Whereas the American voters Of this county are
almost unanimously opposed to The general policy Of
the Administration and its attempts to force slavery
on Kansas by fraud aud vloleRce and whereas, the
Republicans aud Americans united in Congress, in
support of COM promise measures on the Kansas con-
sItuion, as suggested by Hon. Jno. }. Crittenden'
of Kentucky, therefore,
Rss0lUsd That the Republican party of this coun
ty invite the operation Of the American party to
defeat the iniquitous policy Of the Administration
and TO sustain interest of freedom at Washington
a Committee Of seven has been appointed to con-
feI with the American Committee.
1t will be hard for neighbOrs Of the Patriot to
join this party; but where else can they go?

LIBELLERs AND LAWYERS fare hard in Stockholm.
The laws of Sweden, were they enforced in this
country, would quite exiDguish the light Of the
press, and would deeimate the bar. According the
the Paris correspondent of the New York TINES
"a Mr. Lindthal, q journalist, recOunted in his
journal that q certain young lady Of the city eft
Stockholm had been guilty of ineest-a grave charge
undeuiably; but listen to what became Of it. Mr..
Lindthal was taken before the tribunal, and there
it was proven that the charge was false He was
condemned-but to what-toideath More than that,
he was condemned to have his head chopped off
bloc K! God save you, veracious editors Of America
from the Judges of Stockholm! But this is not all
There is a word for the lawyers. The sentence of
the court concluded thus Convicted of having &C.
cepted knowingly an unjust cause, the defender Of
Mr. Lndthal is condemned to months imPrisOn-
ment and perpetual Introduction from the practice
Of his profession"
Think ofthat; ye American councillors, attorneys
and barrsters and thank the Genius of Liberty that
both sides of suit in this country safe sides
for the lawyers; and that the only persons ever
punished here for being concerned in law disputes
are the parties, jurors, and witnesses! Great is
the American eagle.

SERENADE TO SENATOR DAVIS IN MAINE.-Some
of our citizens, last evening, saw fit to treat the
distinguished Senator from Mississippi to sere-
made, and accordingly assembled with the Portland
Band, about 10 o'clock, at the boarding house Of
Madame Blanchard, on the corner of Park and
Danfourth streets, where that gentleman is stop
ping The evening was cool andpleasant Chsnd-
ler's Band discoursed some of its sweetest music,
and very soon an immense ooncourse Of people, in
Guiding large representation Of the fair sex, was
assembled in the vicinity. At the conclusion Of
the music, Col. Davis appeared upon the steps, and
after an introduction by James L. Farmer Esq
was cheered with enthusiastic cheers from the con-
course of citizens He then spoke for half an hour,
making chaste, eloquent and very happy speech,
which was received with frequent and hearty mani
festations of applause Another compliment OF
three cheers was then given, and the people dis
persed, all appearing to be delighted with the ad
dress to which they had listened with almost
breathless attention We hope TO be able to pre-
sent our readers a more extended report Of his re-
marks than would be possible this morning, and
t. erefore shall not attempt anything of the sort
It is enough to say, that Col Davis found the way
direct to the hearts of our people, who warmly
responded to the sentiments which he uttered, and
which as evidently came warmly from his own
heart-PorIqad( As) Argus, July 10.
