Newspaper Page Texthad had a docent respect for his memory, he would have left this part of his pieco un written. This is the grand object of this astute gentleman’s remarks —that it is a foolish and futile attempt we will not deny, but still that it is his ‘design, appears in every line of his production. No one believes that he is a candidate for the last time—he is looking forward to another election, and commenced electioneering already, and in a manner which deserves the hearty contempt of all good men. lie intends to mako “every edge cut.'’ We have devoted too much space to this honorable Congressman, and we leave him telling him in the words of the quotation he has mangled, to “ Lay on,” we will not be the first to cry “ Mold ! Enough !” FOU THE NEWS & GAZETTE. Mr. Editor , —My attention has been at tracted to the report of the receipts and ex ’ penditures of the TWn Council fortheyoar 1841, published in your last; and I have taken some pains to investigate it for the purpose of discovering to what use the large amount of money which is shown by it, to have gone into their hands, has been ex pended. That it has been expended hon estly, fairly and legally I do not, in the least, question, that it has been laid out for the most part, uselessly, brings no blame * on the gentlemen composing the Council, it is rather the fault of the law they have to administer, they have undoubtedly laid it out as far as they could for the benefit ol the town, hut the sum raised is too incon siderable to do any effectual good, and yet the raising of it, so small is the population of the place, entails a most exorbitant tax upon our citizens —the conclusion is there fore, that hereafter it had better not he raised at all. The most considerable item in the ac count is the purchase of a fire engine, this as i ,„|. ne( ] ou t, had best have been spared, for the engine ;a imsi.ui,i. concern at its best) is laid up to rot and rust. There is now no Fire Company in existence, and is not likely to be soon again. No one will work himself half to death in a Fire Company without some kind of re muneration. In other incorporated places the members of a Fire Company are ex empted either from militia or Jury duty or both, ant! though of military duty (thank Heaven) we have none, yet some immuni ty should have been granted to the Fire Company, (exemption from corporation taxes, for instance) to induce them to keep themselves in organization. But the Fire Company is defujict and the little pop gun of an engine might as well be sold for old iron. The next largest item is for salaries and fees of officers. To this is devoted nearly half the taxes, and the clerks salary not paid yet! We pay the Marshal $l5O sal ary and fees for every tiling he does ! Such is the law. One is tempted to ask why do we pay him the salary or why do we pay him the fees ? Is the $l5O not enough without paying him a dollar for every dead rat he can pick up in the street? Is the salary not enough to repay him for attend ing the road hands? if so why is lie paid S>3 a day therefor ? What service does he J render for his salary that he is not other wise paid for ? Twenty fin dollars spent on an old pump that is not now, never was, and never will be worth a cent! It would require the rod of Moses to get water from it. Iloatl Hands 837 28. Mauling lumber, / cavel, &c. (for roads I presume) 850. I ,ould like to know where those hands | orked and where that Gravel was put.— \SO worth ought to have gravelled all cre tion. ’‘'here are one or two small items for iing, which lead tne to remark upon j absurdity of our living under laws v which we know nothing about. Our town ordinances are known to very few of our citizens, their alterations and amendments arc never published as the custom is in oth er places, and we are mkdeamenable.to,and are fined by laws which we have no oppor tunity of knowing any thing of. This is unjust—if we must have a town council let us know what the laws are they make for us. But what use have we for this body at all ? It appears to me they only serve to levy an exorbitant and unequal tax upon us—a tax, paid not by the rich as it should be, but by the poor ! A lawyer or physi cian, however poor he may be, pays more than the richest man in town, because a tax is exacted out of him for his profession, which is about as just as taxing a man for being a shoemaker or a printer ! The rich man, who has his fifty or hundred negroes just out of the limits of the town, though residing in town himself, pays only a piti ful poll tax. lam no friend to lawyers and doctors—Providence keep me out of their clutches, but I wish them to have equal lights. Is the council necessary to preserve the peace of the town? Are not.tho patrols in the country equally as effective as in the corporation—ay, better, for our patrols are j notorious for doing no good in the world— I that negro who could not keep clear of them is too foolish to be of any value to his master! Is the council necessary to keep the roads or the grogshops in order? The law by which the State in general is governed is sufficient for the first if the people will hut elect Justices of the peace, and as to the last it is a mooted question, whether the corporation has any right to interfere with them—the grocers pay a license to the county for the privilege of retailing, and it is somewhat doubtful whether the town au thorities have the right to make them pay again for the same privilege. But I have trespassed somewhat too much on your patience, Mr. Editor, and I will end by proposing that the town coun cil he put an end to hereafter, as a useless expence, or at least that we adopt the bien nial system, and have one only once in two years. 1 should prefer the first plan, for the laws of the State arc amply sufficient for all purposes for which the town council is elected, and what is good enough for our brethren in the country is certainly good enougti for us. “ * ANON. Empty Treasury. —We find in the Boston Post the following remarks: “ The Treasury of the United States is bankrupt! And this 100, in eight short months after the accession oftlie Whig par ty to power!” Ifour respected cotemporary had said “ in two months after the Whig party came into power,” he would have been quite as near correct. This outcry against the present administration, for the emptiness ofthc trea sury, is rather ridiculous than otherwise. “ Mistress, I want anew broom, if you please, mem.” “ Anew broom, Betsy ? Why where is that which you have been using ?” “ It is all worn out to the handle, mein. “ Worn out, indeed! what shocking care lessness ! Why Kitty, your predecessor u sed it for nearly two years ; and now you, who have not had tliri broom in use a month complain that it is worn out! Shocking ex travagance —ea r. Gateltc.

One man found nearly two hundred doilais, includ ing three 850 bills.— Charleston Courier. Santa Fee Expedition.— Wo are indebt ed to the N Orleans American of the 19th j inst. for the latest news relative to this ex pedition. The editor says; “Capt. Rollins of the steamship Neptune, just arrived from the river below, where his vessel is aground reports that the French frigate Sabine arri ved off Galveston the day before lie left, from Vera Cruz, and reports that the Santa Fe prisoners in Mexico were treated very kindly, and would probably soon be set at liberty. A Mexican invasion of Texas was on foot, and it was expected that Galveston would be immediately blockaded. A Mighty Effort . —The Rev. Mr. Toy-j lor, of Boston, in his prayer last Sunday a!’ ! ternoon, in alluding to the departure of Mr. j Maffit for Washington, earnestly supplica ted the Almighty to give him, “power to wrestle successfully with the Congression al devil.” We are inclined to think there is more than one “Congressional devil,’ and that it will take considerable more than “ forty parson power” to effect the whole- I some and holy prayer oftlie Boston divine. N. Y. Sun. Effects of an Earthquake. —lt is a re markable circumstance, that since the great earthquake of 1087, no wheat will grow on the coast of Peru. In some places indeed, a little is raised, but it is very unproduc tive. Rice, on the contrary, yields a great return. Before the earthquake, one grain j of wheat yielded 200 grains. Important Judicial Decision. —A juror in i Cumberland county was fined five dollars i for not attending court, and sought to ex cuse himself on the ground that he took no newspaper, and was therefore ignorant of the day ofholding tliecourt. But judge Par sons very properly decided, that this,.so far from being an excuse, was an aggravation o. - ‘ i of the offence, and that it was every mans imperative duty to take at least one ot tin county papers. It must ho a melancholy reflection for the juror in defauit, that the fine he was compelled to pay for worse than nothing would have more than paid, in advance, his subscription to a country newspaper for two years. Anecdote of Daniel Webster. —During one of the college vacations, he and his brother returned to their father’s in Salis bury, Thinking he had a right to some re turn for the money lie had expended on their education, the father put scythes into their hands and ordered them to mow. Daniel made a few sweeps, and then resting his scythe, wiped the sweat from his brow.— His father said, “What's the matter, Dan?’ “My scythe don’t hang right, sir,” he an swered. His father fixed it, and Dan went to work again, but with no better success. Something was the matter with his scythe and it was not long before it wanted fixing again ; and the father said in a pet, “Well hang it to suit yourself.” Daniel, with great composure, hung it on the next tree; and putting on a grave countenance, said, “It hangs very well now; I’m perfectly sat isfied.” The mob spirit, that triumphed in Cin cinnatti over civil and military opposition, broke out in Louisville.

The Cincinnati Gazette, of the 12th u 1 1 ., has the following particulars of the doings of a mob in that city on the the proceeding day : Outbreak. —Mob rule reigns again in our city ! Monday evening, the Miami Exporting Company Bank assigned its ell cts, and on yesterday morning the Bank of Cincinnati, closed its doors. Early in ihe morning the crowd, in con sequence of their failures, began to collect around the doors of these institutions, and by 11 o’clock had broken into them, de stroying all the moveable property, and whatever of books or papers could be laid hold of. About this time ten of the City Guards, headed by their brave Captain Mitchell, ap peared, drove the rioters away, and, for a time gallantly maintained their position.— But they were called off. On retiring they were assailed ; they fired, and wounded one or two persons. The mob had, with this exception, undis- j j pll ted possession of the city, and eommen j eed an attack first upon Date’s Exchange Bank and after that upon Lougee’s Ex j change Office, both of which they destroy- j ed. making havoc of every thing which was j at all destructible. The City Council met at 12 o’clock. — But they were unable, as we learn, to pass an ordinance for the preservation ofthe pub lic peace, eleven votes being necessary for ihis purpose, in consequence of only eleven members being present, and oncofthat num ber voting against it. All that could be done was then done, viz : to pass ail order appropriating five hundred dollars to defray expenses in ■ innloying an extra police. The citizens organized at 4 0 clock, and put themselves in strong force near the scene of the disorder. No further violence has been committed, and we hope, from ap pearances, at the time our paper was put to press, that none will be attempted. The guard of citizens were under the direction of Sheriff Avery aud Marshal Saffin. P. S.—Since writing the above, we hear there was upwards 0f224.000 dollars of mo ney in the vault ofthc Miami Bank. 218,- 000 of this was in their own notes —$1,261 in specie, and the balance in paper of oth er banks, all of which was taker:. Four | persons have been arrested, upon whom we.'e found $24,000 some of which was in bankable money—the balance in their own paper. The Mechanics’ & Traders Bank had a notice OH the door last evening that they would re-open this morning at 9 o’clock. FURTh!HR PA RTICU LARS. We gave yesu'fday a hurried account of the mob. All is qb’iet now, and we are en abled to state more fu.'l.Y what was done. ! It was apparent earl)’ ‘ n *b c niormng that the slightest concert of action might have arrested the whole matte. 1 ’- M’’ ll en gaged in it felt uneasy, and wet 6 ready to “ break” on the slightes show of resistance. None was offered until the mob grew strong in numbers, and became resolved to do its work. The Bank ofCincinnatti was riddled first, i Its vault was broken open, and its books and papers to a great extent destroyed ; but its . loss was trifling. It had we presume, but 1 little money on hand, and its own paper was I considered worthless. The Miami came next. Its books were saved, but its own paper was seized, and, its officers say, ‘a large amount was stolen though the missing notes are chiefly 1,2, and 3’s defaced, and sound notes of larger denominations.’ The ioss they cannot tell until their notes are counted. The notes discounted are all safe. We presume the loss here will not be very heavy, though we shall know exactly what it is in a few j j days. Next came Bates. lie had steadily re- | deemed bis paper. He was doing so when the mob began its attack upon his office.— j But tliis did not appease it. and his office i j was literally torn to pieces. W hat his loss , is he does not know. Noother property was destroyed. NEW HORSE SHOE. A Frenchman, resident in Poland, lias invented (so says the United Service Jour nal) anew method of shoeing horses, for which the emperor has awarded him fifty thousand roubles, besides an exclusive pa tent. Ho covers the entire hoof with iron ; and the base of this shoo or sandal is per fectly smooth. It requires neither nail nor screw is cxtreamly cheap, and has the im portant characteristic of great lightness.— It is getting into use in all parts ol Russia. When the hoof is injured, it is found to b<- very beneficial. As near as we can under stand this account, this shoe is akind of ino casin, made of sheet iron. .11 A 11 R 1 E !> , Last evening, by tha Rev. Geo. 11. W.
