Susquehanna County Bank.
We regret that an reit" of the magnitude of the
Susquehanna County Bank,,has become necpwary to
the welfare of the "Northern Democrat." It bad better
Pam to lean upon the principles ofthe democratic party
and staid by the interests of the people, though "evils"
as huge high Olympus" should threaten to come
upon them. We have yet to learn That a democratic
Journal should wink at any outrage upon the rights and
prosperity of community, or seek to bolster up a galvan
ized iemnant of chartered monopoly, or incorporated-
Jim:touring. (We dare not use a more expressive
word for fear of a gag.,s:t.) Banking institutions are
no part of the democratic creed—they have been arrayed
against democracy and the people from the earliest his
tory of our country, and their warfare has been unceas
ing since the memorable stand taken by Gen. Jackson
agtinst that monster iniqui y, the United States Bank.
Even when incorporated with the individual liability
principle they should be looked upon with distrust.
‘i The "Northern Democrat," publishes and endorses a
communication, evidently from an officer of the - bank,
which, while written in a vain of apparent candor, con
tains two or three misstatements, which we consider our
duty to answer.
The crirrespondent alludes to suits brought against the
bail of Mr. Kellum, and asserts "that Mr. Goodrich,
among the rest was made to respond in damages."—
"That not a word appeared in the Reporter derogatory
to the credit of the Bank, until' after those suits were
commenced."
The first, that: Mr. G. was one of the sureties of Mr.
K. is 'blue, but that he ever responded to the suit of the
Susquehanna county Bank damage's is false. Oa
the country, he always considered their claim as 92tens•
ble and treated their propositions with contempt4: l And
the suits, if settled, have been without his cosspiration
in any manner.
The condition of the Dank was never known to Mr.
Goodrich (we speak for him as he is now on a bed of
sickness) until these suits were commenced. He was
then furnished 'with a full and complete history of the
abortion " from its start, authenticated from their books,
and which reveals in the most startling manner, the en
tire operations of that institution. Fully convinced, as
we could (rota the same convince the editor of the De-
mocrat, of the danger which community was in from
touching their notra, we have never since ceased from
what we considered our duty. Ihdike the Democrat,
we can see no •• necessity" in the "evil,' and if it were
located in our midst, regardless of the frowns of those
who make money from other's misfortunes, we would
hold its deformities up in their true light.
We again repeatibst we may have occasion to give
to the public a full history of the Susquehanna county
Bank, while under the management of the Company ;
and from it the public may sce who have drawn the mo.
ney from so many of their pockets. It is an old saying,
if a man cheat you once, shame on him ; Übe cheatyou
twice, shame on you! Will it not apply to Batiks!
Gen. Irrin , s Generosity.
- We find in the Huntingdon Globe, the following ex.
planation of the generosity of Gen: Irvin, the Federal
Iron-master and candidate for Covernor. Mr. I. it should

which has been tgislatedinto his pockeurby Federalen

for the purpose of making political capital, and from the
first we looked upon the announcement of Gen. Irvin's
benevolence with distrust. The facts now appear be.

THE FRUITS OF TIIP. SYST EM .-A letter from
Europe. published in one of the journals, gives
a graphic description of European stock jobbing.
Amon other things. it says that the great stock
jobber ofParis. " Baron Rothschild." inhabits
a house of which the furniture cost $500,000;
that in the railroad speculations which rendered
Paris crazy not long ago, the English and Ger
man , speculators, or as we moreolitely call
them, " operators," emit! off $50.000,000 ;
that on Englishman, entering Par i with $250,
carried off $500,000 in six weeks. l It adds that
the wealth of the firm of Rothrichil is estimated
at $l6 000.000, though FOM 'eve that the
tbe
whole is credit, or " moon line," liable to be
disipated by any revolution among governments.
It then gives a graphicand ludicrous description
of " fashionable society," as led or constituted
by the stock jobbers of Europe, o hick shows
that their.frivolous follies and extravagant ex
penditures are equal.
While we behold all these "carryings on" in
European cities, by those who live sumptuous
ly without work, excepting the work of their
wits to defraud creative industry of its fruits,
we also behold the most abject poverty among
the mechanies. and starvation, literal famine,

THE TARIFF. --The correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun. says
The - opposition. at the commencement of
the late session of Congress, prophesied that
the tariff of 1846 would, at 'the utmost, yield
no; over $20.000.000 per annum, and in all
probability only. 816.000.000 ; and it . was for
this reason that Mr. Webster promised his
Massachusetts friends, and those be had made
over a dinner table in Philadelphia, he• wou'd
bring in a bill fu'r', abrogating the tariff of 1846,
and reestablishing that of 1842. Mr. Webster
done no such thing.
The fact is, the prophesies of the opposi
tion in regard to the tariff have been wholly
contradicted by the receipts of the various Cus
tomhouses in the Union. The tariff of 1816
exceeds in its consequences as a revenue
Sure,. by far all the most sanguineexpectations

Fesup.—lt ,was recently stated the will of the
late Judge Marlin was recently declared nu'l
and void; but not, as has been stated, on account
of the blindness of the testator. The real
ground of the decision was that the testator bad
attempted a fraud upon State. In Louisiana
there is a probate taz of ten per cent. upon be
quests to foreigners. To evade this taz, Judge
Martin, whose penurious disposition looked
even beyond the grave, bequeathed all his
properly nominally to his brother, a resident in
New Orleans, hut with a secret understanding
that there should be an equal division between
all relatives, most of them being Frenchmen,
residing in France. Fur this attempt to escape
the probate taz the will was set aside. The
amount of the taz coming to the State will be it
is said,. about 830.000.

A DDITIONAL RTIKATLA
The N 0. Della issued an estra at 12
o'clock at DODO, on the 23J, itithlhe following
intelligence from its co/teapot:meat at Monte
rey :
On the Sid, Santa Anna began the battle by
varians maineuveve, attempting tonert-ellank any)
terrify old Rough and Ready. On that day,
the battle was confirmed to akirmiabing and
cannonading, without abed) effect on either
aide.
In the meantime. Santa Anna had aerie a
large Force to Taylor's rear. but oar artillery
opened upon them with great effect, and they
were coon compelled to withdraw. On the
23d. the battle commenced in real earnest.
and raged with great violence during the whole
day.
The Amerieami did not wait to be attacked,
out with ►he most daring impunity. charge up
on the enemy withloud huzzaa, then officerz

was every-where in the thickest of the fight.
He received a boll through his ouercoiit. btst
was not injured. •
Adjuiant Bliss was slightly wounded at his
side, Adj. Lincoln, also of the General'estafi,
the intrepid young officer. who so distinguish
ed' himself at the battle of geseca de la Palma,
was killed.
The battle of the 23d lasted from earl♦ in
the morning till about M. when Santa
.%nna drew off his army. ant' retired to Apia
Nueva, to await a reinforcement.
It will be remembered that 'Santa Anna's
corps orreserve,conimanded by Gen. Vasquez.
had been delayed in. Its march, and has, no
doubt, joined, him a few days after the battle.
hut in the meantime his army is starving, and
many of his men are deserting.
Capt. Hunter's strong company was not in
the action, but had left Monterey to join Gen.
Taylor, with six cannon, two of them being
18 pounders.-
On the 7th March.one of the Ohinregiments
also left Monterey to join Gen. n Taylor. If
these and the artillery of cam. Prentiss arrive
in time. the General's heavy loss will he fully
repaired, and he will be ready to meet Santa
Anna tier in.
General Taylor, at the last accounts. was
still maintaining his position. undisturbed bt
the enema:. An exChange of prisoners had
taken place. and old Rough and Ready's pro.
muses to Col. Marshall, to get back C. M. Clay
and his party. by taking Mexican prisoners
enough . to exchaege for them, has been lolly
redeemed.
Gen. Wool greatly distinguished himself in
the action, and all the officers foul_ ht like he
roes. After the battle, General Taylor de
manded of Santa Anna an tioeontl.tional sur
render of his who!e army, which the latter de
clined, but in return, requested Gen. Taylor to
surrender immediately. Immortal_ be the re
ply of old Rough and Ready, as delivered by
the gallant Lieut. Crittenden :
GEN. TAYLOR.NEVER SUPRENDERs !"
Santa Anna's Adjutant General was captur
ed by the Americans, but was afterwards ex
changed, General Taylor occupied his ground
on the 24th and 25th, without opposition.
Col. Morgan, of the Ohio volunteer,, with
a email force, cut his way through large bodies
of armed Mexicans, and arrived at Marin. A
detachment of three companies, under com
a:kind of Col. Giddings, was sent to his aid.
and the whole party are said to have arrived
safely ,at Monterey... . .
