A HOR4UBLE ENFORCEMENT OF
LYNCH LAW.
The particulars of the drowning of
free negro man, named Tom Culvert,
second cook on board the steamboat Paw
nee. on her passage up from New Orleans
to this place, are as near the facts as we
hare been able to gather them: On Fri
day night about 10 o'clock, a deaf and
dumb German girl was found in the store
room with Tom : The door was locked,
and at first, Tom denied that she was there.
The girl's father came, Tom unlocked the
door, and the girl was found secreted in
the room behind a barrel.' Tom was ac
cused of having used violence to the girl,
but how she came there did not very dear
ly appear. The captain was not informed
of this during the night. Tha next morn
ing some four or five of the deck passen
gers spoke to the captain about it- '
this was
about breakfast time.—He heard their
statements and informed' them that the
negro should be safely ! kept until they`

Parties in New York.—Tire following
account ofthe Whig cause and Whig pros
pects in the Empire State, is copied from
the Albany Evening Journal:
Whig principles now predominate all
over the Empire state. All our cities have
been redeemed. New York, Albany.
Brooklyn, Troy, Hudson, Schenectady.
Utica, Rochester and Buffalo, have respec
tively elected a Whig Mayor and a Whig
Common Council. In Albany, Hudson,
Troy, Schenectady, Untica and Roches
ter, our friends carried every ward, and we
believe that the triumph in Buffalo was
equally signal.
Nor do our cities stand alone., The
Villages throughout the State. Newburgh,
Poughkeepsie, Catskill, Syracuse, Auburn,
Seneca Falls, lthica., Lockport, &c. &c.
are all with us and for us, zealously and
devotedly.
The New York correspondent of the
National Intelligencer writes, under date
of fth instant—
, Ourßanks announced officially that they
resume on the 10th inst. They say, out of
&tura, they have resumed, and we all talk
magnificently on the sulirct, but there is a
good deal of , brag about it, and they are
ss a northwester if asked for considerable
sums in specie. -What specie the country
Banks get here they buy, not liking to ask
the Banks for it, and they pay for it in
checks on them. As for business, they do
little or none. , They keep in their shells
completely. Thus their resumption profits
noire but themselves.
A good shot.—The notorious Rennet of
the New York Weekly Herald, a neutral
in politics, sets off President Van Buren in
‘he following -fine style :
Alas Poor Van Buren I—The Whig
victory in Baltimore following on the heels
of the one published this morning from
Virginia, has, we feat, given Mr,. Van the
asthma. Alas, poor Van I Unless I can
immediately negociate with ; !Queen Vic.
toria for him, he will be-in no position 'to
assume her hand.
A story is told Nita moinkey inl barber's
shop, who watched with:great interest the
movements oft man shaving himself. As
soon as the man depared, the monkey
snatched up the razor,anti-drawing a 63 W
strokes acronshis neck, cut his throat.. So
it is with. Mr: Van Buren. He has "tra
velled in the foot steps" of General Jack
son, till, like the Monkey imitating the man
shaving, Outten, hti has cut his throat, .
If the Whigs„ manage their card well,
they will carry New York in November by
20,000 majority. Even this city may be
taeed on Om
_Wkig side by 3000. We

against our excellent. Governor. The
truth is, his official coiirse has bean so
pure and patriotic, so able and ep ght,
that his enemies are - positively at la It—
they know not what to take hold , f as

on the other hand, it is alai well known
that a most corrupt and profeals loco

one o f the committee who reported the pro

passed bill "of appropriation' centtary to

thereby sa ed the commonwealqi from
ruin and nkruptcy; and, he othed he was
rompelle reluctantly to sign, because
there was not time left to pass iittother
bill—for the' express purpose of in
