u.s. A petition has been sent to Con-
gress, by citizens of Ohio, asking the es-
tablishment of U. s. Bank with capt.
tai of $50, 100000. This is good time
to urge such measure, not only because
the deranged state of the currency de-
mands it, but because the issue of Sub
Treasury notes is democratic concession
of the necessity for such an institution and
of its constitutionality. A United States
Bank, and tariff, such as sound states
manship and true patriotism demand for
the protection of home industry, can effect
ually remedy the ills which now afflict the
country, and nothing else can do it. Eng
lands protective policy has built up and
sustains wealth and power of the kingdom,
and the same cause will produce the same
effect, everywhere, under the same circum-
stances. Jack-leg politicians may cry out
oppression and aristocracy against these
measures, as they always have done, and
the people may listen and be yictimized by
the humbug but experience has taught
that all is not wrong that is unpopular
and, in these latter days, the safest guide
post to right principles points to the road
opposite to that followed by the masses
The "vox populi," instead of being "vox
del, is beacon voice to warn us against
error.

p6r IF we we're asked, what is the
standing Of the Legislature of Tennessee
with the people, we should point to some
of the petitions sent up to that body, as
our answer. "Poking fun" is passtime
never INDUCED in towards those who COM
mand our esteem and confidence, and its
indulgence is generally indicative of a
feeling of contempt. The citizens Of
Sequatchie presented petition, praying
for an appropriation to purchase rare-ripe
corn for seed, and sundry citizens of War
rem, petition praying an appropriation
to purchase Guber- pea seed, and the pass
age of an act making hedge grass a legal
tender Other petitions Of like charac-
ter have been sent up, and can not fail to
impress rejecting minds with the convic-
ton that a legislative body thus treated,
is ridiculous in the eyes of those who thus
treat it. The precedent is bad one and
however weak and contemplate the ma
jority of the Legislature may be, the honor
of the State demands that that body should
not be made to place the fact upon its own
records. Let the people think, and speak,
too, if they please, their sentiments on the
subject, but the legislative records are NO
place to enroll them.

BOGUS GOLD REPoRTs.-One of our cotem-
porares has published letter purporting to
be from Charles W. .Lowrie, Keokuk, Iowa,
to the London Times, giving an account of
the great excitement raised in Keokuk from
the discoveries of gold mines in several coun.
ties of said State. The writer of the letter
in question says that in Warren county alone
cover four hundred men are working in the
gold mines there, making from five to fifteen
dollars day." But it is little remarkable
that our first information of these astonish-
ing discoveries and this great excitement,
should come from the London Times. The
letter is evidently land speculatior's trick
to entice emigation into Iowa. Simultane.
ously, report comes up from Georgia "from
reliable gentleman" to the Richmond
Wing, that lately, about two and half miles
from Altoona, in said State, there has been
discovered "a vein of gold, of richness equal,
if not superior to any ever discovered in this
country" which, we suspect, is call my eye
and Betty Martin" Some "relable gentle
man" perhaps, may have land for sale near
this great gold mine, but the trick is becom-
ing stale.

w. Ii. SEWARD ON HIS OLD HoBBy.-We
had supposed from the liberal views of Mr..
Seward on the Army bill, that he was about
TO take wider range for 1860 than the mar
row platform of the slavery agitation; but it
appears from his late speech before repub-
lican caucus in Washington, that he sticks to
the nigger like brother. We would ad-
monsh him, however, that this will never
do. First of all, as the Northern ant.savery
candidate, he must displace Fremont, Banks,
Chase, Hale, and Others; and then, should he
secure the anti-savery nomination, he will
have to contend against one or two opposi-
ton conservative candidates, and against one
or two democratic candidates, including, per-
haps, the "Little Giant" as the Douglas anti
Lecompton candidate. Seriously, Master
Seward, the niger platform and nothing else
will land you high and dry with Birney, Van
Buren, and Hale. Try it.

sW- The Palestine (Texas) Advocate of
the 2sth ultimo, says that most of the cotton
from that region has already been sent
down the Trinity by steamers. The same
paper says:
The cool mornings are somewhat injurious
to cotton, it being rather tender plant than
otherwise. Corn is doing finely, and the
wheat crop is decidedly promising. There is
every indication of an abundant sweet mast
and, in fact, all kinds of fruit, this season.
Our farmers are in fine spirits, and have every
reason to be so. The prospects before them
are certainly very encouraging.

Fun IN PRosPEcT.-In the New York
Times, of the 18th inst, we find the follow
ing bit Of information:
Parson Brownow has found an antagonist
in Cincinna,i--the Rev. Abram Pryne, who
challenges the Parson to discussion on
slavery. Brownlow inquiries what Church
Pryne is connected with, and second, wheth-
er he is a white man or gentleman of color.
Pryne replies that he is q minister of what
are called Union Churches, or Independent
Congregational, and that his father is Hol-
lander, and his mothers father was Scotch
man, and though not very white man,
there is not drop of African blood in his
veins.
The editor of the Wing announced week
or two ago, that he had accepted a banter
from some champion of abolitionism, and we
presume Pryne is the man. We hope our
neighbor has found "foeman worthy of his
steel" The meeting, we understand, will
take place some time during the summer, at
Philadelphia. A Cincinnati paper says Pryne
is ga perfect singe-cdt.-Knor. Register.

AN OPINION. President Woolsey, of Yale
College, says it seems to be an ascertained
fact that there Is tendency to produce boys
rather than girls, both when the wife is young
and when the husband is considerably older
than the woman. He refers to German
Psychologist in support of his assertion, and
claims that poygamy, contrary to what has
been asserted of the Mormons and other po.
lygamists, gives birth to more boys than
girls.
