The Courcil Fearful of the People.

Our City Council seem very reluctant to
trust the people to vote on measures to save
the Union. A resolution to provide for it,
has been before the Council for some time,
but the members seem indisposed to act upon
it. Even the member who introduced the
proposition to take the sense of the people,
was unwilling to allow them to vote for the
Constitution and the enforcement ofthe laws.
1t is strange that COuncilmen should be go
suspicious of their constituents as to be un-
willing TO trust them to vote for the main
tenance of. the Constitution and the enforce
ment of the laws.
etthe people have chance to speak and
let these plans of settlement not be concealed
under any mans name; but let the actual
plan be stated. Thus, instead of putting on
the ballot, "Crittenden Compromise" lei it
be stated as it is, protection of slavery in
all the Territories south of the line 36o 3O',
now owned by the Government or hereafter
acquired" Or it might be more explicitly
stated thus: Protection of slavery in all the
territory where it can possibly go, and in
the greater part of which there is no prob
ability that it ever could co. and in all future
acquisitions; and exclusion of slavery from
territory where it can never go, and where
nobody asks any exclusion.
Let all the propositions be actually stated.
The people can be trusted, however much
Councilmen may think they have monopo.
hzed all the wisdom. Let the question of
the Constitution and the enforcement of the
laws, also, be submitted. That sentiment
was quite poWerful-at least it was noisy
here last Fall, and it undoubtedly is power
ful still-very still. Itmight be proper, also,
to submit the question of coercion, without
any circumlocutioD. TIE people have a
right to express their sentiments, however
ftightful they may Be. Let the people be
heard

five are to have any more public demon
strations in this city, on the crisis, let us
have full and fair expression of the opinion
ofthe people. Wehave had meetings enough,
which were called to work in harness, ac-
cordipg to a programme carefully prepared
previous to the call, and with fore ordained
resolutions. That game has been played
often enough. The expression which has
thus gone forth does not represent tAe senti-
ment and deep feeling that pervades this
community. If we are to have any more
meetings to express something which is to
go forth to the world as the sentiment of the
people of Cincinnati, let the people see to it
that they are not nisrepresented.
Let them take the meeting into their own
hands, repudiate the management that would
ttiAe with the public safety, to reconstruct a
party, and send forth to the world clear,
bold and unmistakable expression of the
sentiment will and determination of the
neonia.

ford to put any restrictions on the sale that
win prevent the purchasers making the
canals profitable. If they can be made to
pay the purchasers, annually, the sum that
the State now loses by them, their preserva-
ton. and future enlargement would be se-
cured beyond a peradventure.
To this end there should be no tempo
rizing with lease for term of years. Once
rid of this incumbrance, the State will never
want to touch it again. Absolute owner
ship is necessary to carry out the improve
ments of the canals and modes of navigating
them, that are required to restore their busi-
ness. All the arguments in favor of leasing,
apply with the more force to a sale. And as
to any caution against interested parties
urging a sale, if there are any such, they are
the parties whom the State should encour-
age. And it may be remarked that there is
no gang of canal-muskrats SO raYenous as
the politicians md their friends, who have
fastened upon the canal Offices andwho are
now running the canals solely as political
machine.

Exciting Scene in a Political Contest
Narrow Escape from General Massa-
ere.
A New Albany Qnd.) paper Of late date
says:
The recent melancholy death of Joseph L.
White, at the hands of an assassin in Cen
tral America, calls to mind one of the most
exciting scenes, perhaps, ever witnessed in
Indiana. During the contest for Congress-
in 1843, between Thomas j. Henley, P. M.
Kent, Esq, was editor of the Western Union
Democrat in this city. The contest had
been one of extraordinary bitterness, in
which Mr.. Kent took q prominent part
against Mr.. White.
The latter had made the canvass of the
district, and was to make his closing speech
in this city. He announced that in his
speech he would pay his particular respects
to Mr.. Kent. The latter issued coun-
ter. manifesto, stating his intention to reply
to Mr.. White, and to repeat his charges
against him to his face. The excitement was
at fever-heat, and every one anticipated a
personal collision between the parties.
When the evening for the speaking came,
the market house was crowded to its ut
most capacity.
The Democrats being in minority in the
city, had sent to their country friends, who
came in large numbers, and when White
commenced his speech, there could not have
been less than thousand men on the
ground armed with deadly weapons. White
made his speech, eloquent and vehement as
usual, but intensely bitter and violent in its
language.
When Kent got up to reply, his first
words were that he intended, before he sal
down, to prove Joseph L. White "per.
iured villain" In an instant White drew 8
pistol and pointed it at Kent but did moi
