.STEUBENvILLR, Oct,6.

The Citizen's Bank, of this city, of
which Daniel MOODY, an old and we'll
known 6nancier, is cashier, has closed its
doors. 1t is. supposed that the Bank,
which is hut two or three years old, has
sunk its capital; but as it issues no notes
the loss will not be large to the commu-
nifty. Some persons here believe its in.
debtedness will be fully met by the stock

KossUTH's PLANS A CORRESPONDENT
of the London Star, writing from Paris
says: 'l" '-- ++
Kossuth was in Paris September IL,
and all the journalists of every color and
degree paid him visit, in the hope of
learning what his intentions, aims and
views really are 1t can rot as yet be
known whether these are in favor Of i'm
mediate action, or whether they incline to-
ward taking time to consider whether be
means to replace the sudden and de-
cisive movements which characterized his
mode of warfare before it was submitted
to the rules laid down by Lonis Napo-
leon, or whether he means to wait and
see if the Emperor of Austria will relent
and so by degrees yield the freedom
which, according to Austrian rule, it
would not be prudent to grant all at
once. The account to be given by Kos
suth Of the principle upon which he has
been acting, has been waited for with the
greatest patience, and it has been agreed
that no judgment is to be formed of the
conduct pursued by Kossuth, as it ap
pears upon the surface; and that all YER
dict is to be suspended until the leader
himself has submitted it with his owr
appreciation to the fiat of their opinion.

1--WE, the undersigned citizens of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, respect
fully ask you to remove from the State
House grounds as no honor to the State
and repugnant to the moral sense of the
people-the statue of Daniel Webster,
whose last years were spent in defending
the Fugitive Slave bill, and whose last
counsul to the commonwealth was to con-

and to return men to bondage with alac.
rity." .s.
They have gone so far as to publish and
circulate indecent pictures representing
Webster, accompanied by blood hounds
and man armed with chains and pistols,
chasing slave woman and child!
The Republicans say the Democrats
are ready to praise the eminent men OF
the old Whig party sitter they have gone
to their graves. If the Democrats do not
defend them, we ask who will? Is it the
men who IRE unwilling to suffer statue
to stand which affection has reared to
Webster's memory? Is it the men who,
when he was old and feeble. slammed the
door of Fanuil hall in his face, and refus-
ed to let him be heard2 Is it the men
who try to render his memory Infamous

no longer defend themselves, from the in

Man Murdered at Bellaire.

On Sunday before last fight ACQUIRED
on the railroad between Bridgeport and
Bellaire, which resulted in the death of
one of the combatants 1t appears, as
one of the arrested parties details the
transaction, that man named Hazeldine,
in company with his son, were approaching
Bellaire, when they were met by-6ve
Irishmen, who, without any ceremony.
kn nocked down both of the Hazeldines.--
Gathering themselves up as quickly as
possible, the latter struck out so vigorous
ly that the Irishmen were glad to leave
The Irishmen were knocked down several
times and the party, with one exception,
sought safety in fight. The one who re-
maiued was so roughly handled by young
Hazeldine as to be incapable of moving,
and was le:t senseless by the roadside.
The elder Hazeldine suggested that they
should kill him, but the young man coun-
seled otherwise, and the Irishman was
finally left to his fate. He lay out
during the night, and died few days af-
terwards. The two Hazeldines have
been arrested, and were subjected to a
preliminary examination at Bellaire, on
Saturday. Very little testimony was
elected, and the version given above
Is principally made up from the state
ment of the elder prisoner. He has re-
sided in BelIaire during the past year,
and has hitherto borne the reputation oi
an upright. peaceable Englishman He
has been engaged in the machine shop Of

Origin Of sl,s custom OF openlng ,l.l Prayer.

AS part of the records of the "t times that tried

Benjamin Franklin, when ne found the convention in
great difficulty as to the satisfactory settlement of pend
ing questions. He rose ard said:
Eliots Debates the Federal Convention June
2S, l7o7 vol. 5, p. 253
" Mr. President the small progress we have made az
ter four or five weeks close attendance and continual
reasoning with each other, different sentiments on
almost every question-sevtfal OF the last producing
many noes as ayess methinks, melancholy proof of
the impertectiOn OF the human understanding.
We, indeed, seem to feel want Of political wisdom
since we have been running about in search of It, We
have gone back TO ancient history for morals OF Govern
ment and examined the forms of those which, having
been formed with the seeds of their dissOlJtiOn
no longer exist. And we have viewed modern States
all around Europe, but find none OF their constitutions
suitable to our circumstances. In this situation OF the
assembly, cropping were, in the dark to find political
truth, and able to distinguish it when presented
to US, how has it happend, Sir that have not
thought of humbly applying to the Father of Light to
illuminate our understandings? In the beginning OF
the contest with Great Britain, when we were sensible
of danger, had daily prayer this room for DiUlne
prote tlon Our prayers, sir heard and they
graciOusly answered.
"AI of who were engaged in the struggle must have
observed frequent instances Of experimenting PrOvl
dence in our favor. TO that kind Providence owe
the happy opportunity of consulting In peace on the
means of establishing future national felicity And
have now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do
we imagine that we no longer need his assistance?
q have lived, sir, long time, and the longer live
the more convincing proofs see OF this truthhdt God
goternS the affairs Of men and if sparrow cannot tall
to the ground without His notice. is it probable that
Empire rise without His aid? We have been
sured sir in the sacred writings that except the Lord
build the house, they labor in vain who build it,
firmly believe this and also believe that without His
concurrDg aid shall succeed in this political building
no better than the builders of Babel We shall be divi
ded by little partial local interests projects will
be confounded and ourselves shall become reprOach
and byword down to future ages. And what is worse
mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance
despair OF establishing governments by human wisdom,
and leave it to chance, and conquest.
a. therefore, beg leave to move that henceforh prayers
imporing the assistance Of Heaven, and blessings on
deliberations be held in this assembly every morn
ing before proceed business and that more
of the clergy OF this city be requested to oate in that
service"
The motion was carried and thus inaugurated
the custom OF having prayers at the opening Of the
sons of both houses Of Congress.
