Important Newspaper Movement.


Two RELIGIOUS DAIIIEs IN New YoRK.-
Tho Now York correspondent of tho Phiia-
dolphia Ledger, January 9Th, says
For some tmo past there has boon talk
about establishing daily religious pnpor in
this city, but great difficulty in tho way
was the reconciliation of denominationaf
differences, so as to bring up persons OF
every shade of religious belief to its support,
tho enterprise being q sort Of jointstock
concern. | am now informed that this diff
fculty has boon partially overcome, tho
Episcopalians and Roman Catholics being
counted out, and that tho first number of
tho now publication will appear about tho
18th of February. Rumor says that Mr..
Cummings, of tho Erening Bulletin of your
city, and MIR James Spaulding, one of the
editorial staff of the COnrirr and Enquirer
horo arc to be the principal editors. But
! this is not all.
As a1osult of this enterprise, the Church
man. which represents tho opinions and feel
ings of the High Church Episcopalians, will
forthwith bo merged from weekly into
daily, for the express purpose of combating
tho "horCsos and scisms' which the party
of the first part is expected to bo the vehi-
clio. The funds necessary to carry forward
tho enterprise arc to bo furnisoed by Mr..
Hcckcr, q man of prnccly fortune. pro-
prietor OF tho extensive flour mills in Cherry
street, and principal patron of tho Madison
street Mission Chapel. Many of the ablest
pens in the Episcopal Church will be en-
! ployed in its editorial columns; though il
is probable that Mr.. Scavor late of the
Buffalo Courier, will continue to DO, as now,
cditor.in chief.

False Rumors About the Banks.

Various rumors, originating in John
Thompson's Dotector, have recently Locn cir
culated throughout the country, dscrediting
several of tho Vermont Banks. BY what
motive Thompson has been actuatcd, is best
known to himself. We arc informed that
the money has been bankablo in Cleveland
all the whlo,it being regarded by those able
TO judge, as reliable, notwithstanding these
rumOrs. Unless Thompson can givo somo
better reason than now appears, for his
course, it will bo likely to iniure his Deteotor
moro than tho Banks. Tho suhioned cor
tiRcato Of the Bank Commissioner of Yer
mont, should sottlo tho whole matter. 1t
would be well, in tho future, for persons
holding bills on banks of good reputation,
TO place littlo reliance on such rumors, un.
less supported by better authority:
BANK COMMISSIONER OFFICE,
Bennington, w., January 5th, 1860
l horeby certify, that on the Goth day OF
December, 1859, l made such an exaIni
nation of the Franklin County Bank, and on
tho second day of January, 1860, of the
Union Bank aud Commercial Bank in this
State, that am ablo to say: that the
Franklin County Bank has an available SUI
plus exceeding six thousand dollars, after
making provision for all its liabilities, anC
after doducting from its resources all doubt.

surplus of eight thousand dollars; and tho
Commercial Bank ike surplus of foul
thousand five hundred dollars, aitor pro
viding for semi-annual dividend of 81,
thousand dollars. That since my appoint
mont AS Bank Commissioner, in October
1857, | have been acquainted PERSONAL,
with tho managers of sCid Banks: and ro
gard thom as cautious men and safe bankers
and so far as my examinations havo shown
these Banks havo bccn we'll managed for tn,

We are gratfod to hear Of the prosperity
Of our New York contemporary. Tho
Tribune ID worry good paper, aud, if any
body can afford to take ours and that too.
We have no objection, But thcro arc several
reasons, in our opinion, why tho JcF Dcm
should have tho preference. In tho first
place, tho Tribune is ovcrrun with subscri-
bcrs, which is not tho case with US, though
wo arc steadily gaining upon it. Tho orders
for our paper do not amount to quito five
quarts of letters daily. How long shall this
inequality between our papor and tho Tri

DEAR DEMOCRAT!

sbIe The "Old Brown raid and the

either dread, or icigu to dread, moro than
terrified child would tho great "Bugaboo"
himself. Since tho House first convened,
tEcso horrd spcctcrs hayo been brought
out in every conceivable shape and dress
which tho most inventive imagination un.
der tho utmost terror can conceive. Each
gentleman in his turn puts his hand to tho
work, and under the dCepost excitement
paints scenes Of burning houses, frantic
women and tcrror.strickCn children, so that
it cougCas tho blood of the excited galleries,
who, on recovering sufficiently, cheer most
vocifCrOusly. After ono or two of thCso on
slaughts on tho "Black Republicans" they
consent to tako vote Just to see how many
of tho cool rcbols thoy may have frightened
out of vote for SHERMAN" Still these
persistent rebu!s como up ncithor killed.,
wounded, missing or "skoored." They thon

and threatens these cool reboIs wlth utter

Guthros triumph had announced the "irre-
pressiblo conflict" in most offensive tcrms.-
Thero was an "irrepressible conflict, and 1t
became his hearers to examine well before
thcv choose thoir side thoro woro hundreds
in Frankfort tonight aud tens of thousands
in kentucky, who, If they dared to speak
their thoughts, would proclaim opposition
not only to q slave code in Territories, but
to Slavery hero at homo. -,
After ihcso opening remarks, Mr.. Clay
proceeded to an elaborate argument in VIM
dcation of the principles of the Republican
party against the aspcrsions OF Breckinrldg GO
and Magollin. A report will be sent you by
mail. Tho sccuo in tho State louso yard
was striking. Scores of candles, brought by
willing hands. partially dispnllcd the dark
ness and showed the heavy franc, the white
hair. and tho Fishing eye of Clay, as he
stood in roliof against tho grey pillars OF the
Capitol. A largo number of infuontia
savCholdcrs wcro present. but tho majority

or four squares was his audience.

More of the "Irrepressible Conflict"

The Southern madcaps ara doing thoir
best to keep it up. Tho Momphis Argus of
the l4th relates with great CLEO that North
orn passenger was pitched headlong from
tho cars when in motion on tho Tennessee
Central Railroad few dnys before, for ven
turing to converse in condemnation of slave.
ry with tho passengers, who seized him by
the collar, then kicked him to tho door and
of tho platform. Tho Argus says-"Wo
did not learn that the rascal broke his neck
by tho fall but if such was tho caso the
country hansn't experienced any very great
loss
Another brutal outrage is recorded in
South Carolina. Mr.. James Powers, n
workman on tho now State House at Co.
lumbia, was arrested for using soditious
language, and lodged in Jail. Mr.. Powers u
whIto pcchanic. was taken out of Jail by
the slave aristocrats, whipped thirty-nne
lashos by negro at thoir instance, and after
that, was covered by n thick coat of tar and
feathers, and scnt to Charlcstown.
Virginia also keeps pushing on tho "con-
flict." Mr.. Mills, gentleman who takes
orders for fruit trees in tho summer and
distributes them at this season, and who has
transacted business in tho State for several
years, was driven out a few days since sans
ceremonir, whilo engaged in his vocation
near Charlestown, on tho Kanhawa river.
The beauty of tho thing is Mr.. NJ is Dem
ocrat of tho pro-slavory typo.
Wo arc tod by gentleman just from Kan
hawa valley, that thero are thrcc Northotn-
ers iD Jail there on suspicion of holding
opinions not in unison with tho sentiments
prevailing in that region, though they had
expressed no such feelings. This is q grca,

The Calamity at Lawrence.

The awful calamity at Lawrence, Mass,
should make people more careful, in
future, how they have their edfices
constructed. Human life is too precious
TO be thus needlcssly thrown away. The
truth is, cheapness and speed in con.
struction are often more regarded than
safety or durability. 1t is getting 70 be a
very common thing, in our large cities,
for buildings Of immense size to fall to the
ground with a sudden crash, causing
great destruction of property and life.
These accidents are not so common
in England, where more regard is paid to
durability and safety. 1t cannot be denied
that we Americans move 100 fast in al.
most everything we undertake, and hence
the calamiiies which so often beiall u.s.
Is there not great need Of reform in this
particular?
