but they were promptly suppressed -
After the Adjournment Of the meeting body
of rowdies calling themselves Regulators, &C.,
rushed upon the platform, and one of them at
tempted to harrangue the crowd still remaining.
The police, however, intertered and promptly
arrested the ringleadcrs aud carried some 10 to

ljority of the most turbulent disturbers Of the
peace.

Gnrerned Too Much.

The oftener the General Assembly meets and
the longer it remains in session, the more there
is to do; and such is the rage to enact new
laws and tinker up old ones, that the end Of
continuous session of year would be likely to
find more bills on the tables of members undis-
posed of, than biennial one of sixty days
There seems to be perfect mania among mod
ern Soons on this subject, notwithstanding the
people very generally regard ninc-tenths of the
legislation unnecessary and positively injurious
Every General Assembly appears to fancy that
it em5odies the wisdom of the age, and the IN
dividual members are impressed that they must
do something to swell the pOnderous statute
book. Some half dozen bills per day are born
on an average, and the bantlings are nursed
along until they meet an untimely fate, or per-
chance become enactmeuts, to be amended or
repealed by the next Legislature. Many new
bills also become old ones before the close Of
the session, and die with the adjournment
The little legislation really needed for the pub
lie veal is usually neglected until the last day
in the afternoon, and months are wasted in
words and works TO the cost of the money and
the patience ofthe people. tt
The present General Assembly is no excep-
ton, and no worse perhaps in the way of gov
erning too much than its immediate and illus
triOus predecessors. And yet some days ago,
over 480 bills had been introduced in the House,
and 296 into the Senate, making 776 bills be-
fore the Legislature, not one-eighth of which,
thank God, have been passed into laws. And
this work of eEscting laws for governing the
people of Ohio has been going every year
from the first State organization, growing with
our growth and strengthening with our strength.
Is it marvel that lawyers do abound and -four
ish in the cities, villages, towns, and fOurcOrn-
ers of the land that Courts and cases are
rapidly multiplied that the litigation of the
State is the heaviest and most oppressive bur
den of the Commonwealth

An Uumitirated H1mbu1 Exnosed.

Under this head the Sandusky Register strips
off without mercy the pretended Spiritual robes
by Miss Vincent, hailing from the South,
who for some five months past has been fooling
the credulOus Sanduskians at the top of her
bent with wonderful spiritual farces. The
medium" held forth nightly at different private
residences, and with King" and his " three
thousand subordinate spirits ?" cut up antics
in the dark which confounded skeptics and con
frmed believers in spirit demonstrations. Tin
horns were the instruments "King" used to
put mortals in dilemma. The Register says
The horns would travel around the room,
touch the persons forming the circle, strike the
walls and ceiling, and then would utter all man
ner of sepulchral exclamations, and endeavor to
impress upon the minds of those present the
solemnity of the "a Kings" mission, and the
truth of the things of which he spoke. So mar
velous were these demonstrations that those of
our citizens who were inclined to the spiritua!
belief became confirmed, and numerous skep-
tics convinced TIE excitement grewsomewhat
intense, and VIC regret to cay that many of our
most intelligent citizens, who rank first in the
professions and business callings, were. drawn
INTO the Whirlpool and became worshipers at the
impostors shrine A number of the smaller
lights in the belief waxed furious in the new
faith, and to differ with them on the subject,
however moderately, was to incur their maligni-
iy and abuse. -- -
The humbug and jugglery was exposed the
evening of the 18th, at the residence of Mr.. N.
G. 0lds. The horn travel and horn talk went
on swimmngly in the spiritual circle until lights
were suddenly struck on preconcerted signal
by three members of the party, when there
stood the medium over the table, holding the
horn to her mouth, and finishing the partly ut
tered sentence purporting to come from king
On being detected, she Immediately dropped
the horn on the table, and fell back in her chair
Affidavit of the facts and expose is made by F.
c. Ford, W. G. Melville, Ch. H. Suit, Jas Scott
and Clark Center, and the Register states that
the deluded victims Of this consummate Jug
glery feel cheap enough. Pecuniarily the i'm
postor had been very successful

Posi- once Retrenchmeni.

There is nothing ike cutting off supplies to
bring about economy with sPendthrifts The
Post Office Department under Mr.. Buchanan
has run not, nearly doubling the expenditures
in q few years, until the Administration could
see no way of paying expenses except by in
creasing the pOstages. No retrenchment was
proposed, nor would have been. had not Sena>
tor Tooubs in his wrath killed the Post Office
Appropriation bill This brought the spend
thrifts to their trumps for ways and means, and
already we see Post Master General Holt lOP-
ming off the heads of some thirty Special Post
Office Agents, thus saving $4,000 given to
party favorites, in most cases as mere rewards
for party services. There is great room for fur
ther use of the pruning knife, and necessity vii
be likely to keep it clipping for some time yet.

Parting Address of MIR. Giddinss-


Hon. JOSHUA R. GIDD1NGs has issued brief
address to his constituents of the Twentieth
District, on returning home at the close OF his
public career He is grateful for the long-con-
tinued kindness of the people of his district, and
regards their recent selection of another to re
present them as not "unkinl, but rather as af-
fording relief to one who is "care-worn and
weary with political service" He indicates a
purpose to write history of his twenty years
experience in Congress In now recurring to
his public life, he thus explains his controlling
objects and motives:
81 feel constrained 10 declare the duty oi
Government to separate and purify itself from
all legislative, executive and moral support oi
Slavery; and to exert its influence and consti-
tutiOnal powers to secure all men in the enjoy
ment of that liberty, which is necessary to cher.
ish and protect life, attain knowledge, and pre-
pare for heaven"
Mr.. GIDDINes regards the ends for which he
has thus IabOred as already virtually accomplish,
ed, and hopeful light, in his mind, rests upon
the future He says:
"Of the intensity of those conflicts which SC
rapidly succeeded each other for seventeen
years, have no time to speak; it is sufficient
to say, that the combination of religious, mora
and political truths, pressed as they were upon
the public mind, could not fail of success. Bas-
ed upon GoD's attribute of justice, they must be
respected. Indeed, the rietory has been already
aehieped. The lovers of liberty at this moment
icield the moral pOloer Of our nation; and the
Government, with its patronage, its great pow
er and widespread influence, must soon fall in,
to their hands; and the immutable law ofjustice
which has already given them power, will con-
tinue it SO long as they act in harmony with
the doctrines to which they are unequivocally
DIedOed -

The st. Louis Democrat of the 18th, makes
a note of the emigrants to Pixies Peak and Mis-
souri on several Of the boats lying at the levee,
about one mile of which was closely packed
with steamers. A reporter visited the SIX boats
which arrived that day. The FIST was from the
Illinois River with sixty passengers, about one

About 100 had wagons, cattle, farming imple
ments, &C., and from is to 20 house servants,

so of them for Pixies Peak. The 9th was from
Louisville, SO passengers, and only 10 for the

souri, from other Slave States. They own no
negroes, but had good supply of wagons,
horses, farming implements and small children.
Boat 9th was about leaving for Missouri river,
packed full. She had I25 Pike Peakers. The
Democrat says-"No armies Ofblack plantation
or farm hands come this way now. We see
them going only in one directiOn--and that is
down the Mississippi" Of boats to arrive
the Democrat remarks:
Two or three other boats were due last eve
ming, and about ten are due today, from the
Ohio river, Illinois river, and the Upper Mlssis-
sippi, all with numbers of emigrants ior Mis-
souri, and Kansas. Those from the Ono are
crowded to their utmost capacity.

State, under the guise of an African Apprentice
Bill. Il was barely defeated in the Senate

same measure came up few days ago in the
