.there, he would make a fortune.
New York Sendie.—There is a loco majority of
four in this body, that oppose every bill, however
useful, which does not tally with their party meas
ures. This renders %Tatory nearly all the acts of
the lower House : but next year will complete the
purification commenced by the victory of this.
Loco Feara.—The New Era is awfully alarmed
because an investigating committee on defalcations
is in N. Y . Cannot some of our editorial, friends
tell Mr. Theron Rudd, one of the attaches to the

. The County Members.—The disturbances it the
commencement of the session, prevented the Whig
county members from contesting the seats usurped

the passage_of a special law, to allow the seats to' be

L ur ,..beri san ', Bank.—The People's Monitor gives
the proceedings of a large meeting held at Warren,
on the affairs of this Institution. It was the opinion
of that body, that time only was wanted to recruit
the affairs .of the Bunk—that the persons who are
trying to forfeit its charter, are the very ones who
have produced the present euibarrassments, by not .
repaying, their loans, and tlmt its continuance is ne

These men will be tried and found guilty, but nev

two of therein the seats of the Legislature, which be
long to others, the same E.recutive power Which has
given office to another, and the same legislative pow
er which has tried to compensate the others, will
never permit such an event. Bullies can again rule
the Capitol, a party Governor can pardon, and a
party Legislative enact laws to guard and protect
them. Mind our ptedidtion—if convicted, they will
not be punished !

Florida—A convention has been held in this ter
ritory, for the purpose of conning a constituttion pre
paratory to admission as a state. The s4ive ques
tion has of cceirse been a particular one, and under
all circumstances, as from her proximity to slave
holding states, she must be compelled for the, present
to do the same, the resolutions have been very hber
al. , A committee has recommended that the legisla-•
ture be prohibited by the constitution from passing
any laws for the emancipation of the slaves. They
are to have the power of 'prohibiting the introduction
of slaves as merchandise, or criminals from other
States; but not to prohibit any emigrant from bring

grade than petit larcency,slaves s hall have trial •by

"I said that in Decent er, 1836, when Gen Jack.
son .gave his curtificat that all was well, honest
and fair, this very leg-i 'usury, Swartwout, at Nevi
'ark, wks ill default 3' 6.71 d dollars. Well, sir,
now it appears' that, in • velve nionif;s after, he was
in default to the tune 4'25,705 06. Previous is
•my attempt' at investigaiion, he had been stealing
public money" at the rife of 56,000 dollars per an
num. Alter the cat wa*belletl, he stole in one year
$080.2.36 63, and in qui. it.ext three months $208,.
180 3'. Yee,, sir, otter; the President had •iiven
hint a ccrUheate of honesty, and you sir, and the
House, and the,Commtitee, and the Executive, had
shielded him from all sclutiny, he stole in one year
the sum of 8660,'.136 6.5, and in the next three
months at the rale of more than 800,000 dollars per
annum—his slefalcanou averaging, throughout his
offiCiat career, the sum of more than 170,000 dol
lars per annum, for seven years—and this, tao, we
1 are told, without the least suspicion! 'A Jew may
believe it—hut I 'don't,!' , , .
l - "tr; I said the other day that I did not rejoice in
these pnblic looses and calamities, though I confess-
ed 1 did feel a thrill of triumph at having gained a ;
victory for the truth. The pet hank system and the `..,
soh-treasurers have exploded, as I said they would,

and expoSed their hidden enormities, concealed un-
til they could be concealed no longer; but I do not
rejoice at it. I made mei no booth to sit and watch
