Individual Liability in Banking .
Ohio, (says the Statesman) has the hon•
or of having taken the lead in the just and
wholesome principles of individual liabili
ty in banking, It will be seen by the fol
lowing, that Connecticut is about engraft.
init the•sarne principles in her moneyed in
stitutions. Let the good v rk zo on.
Connecticut Legilattire.—We learn
from the N. Y. Evening Po=t, that the
question of the liability of the stockholders
of banks, has incidentally come before the
House of Representatives of the Connecti
cut Legislature. The Bank of Fairfield,
which has a branch at Danville, made aim
plication for liberty to divide her stock with
thr branch, and each become a separate in..
atitotion. A billiwas brought in for the pur-
pose and an amendment proposed that the
stockholiers of the Danville branch should
be.bereafter individually liable for the debts
of the institution, This amendment was.
a4cipted by a vote of ninet-two to seventy
ni ne. —Balt. Sun.
.And where is Democratic Pennsylvania,
on the most vital question? Has she main
, tained her position as the Keystone of the
Democratic Arch? Has she come forward
in support of this excellent principle, with
out which the people can never have secu
rity from rag-money makers? With pain
and mortification we confess that she has
not. She has been cursed for the last few
years with la•w makers who have been en ,
gaged solely in weak inventions, shameless
Intrigues, and vile expedients. The ma ,
jotity of her Democratic legislators has
been chiefly made up of time servers, of
fice huntere and man worshippers. In
stead of meeting the question of Bank Re
form manfully, and keeping pace with the;
Democratic party of other States in Anti-
Bank progress, they have been guilty of
mean vacillation. , One day they would
adopt the "individual liability" principle
• ---the next, they would get scared, and
tremblingly retrace their steps. And we
blush, to state that there were men in the
Legislature, sent there as democrats, too,
who were so lost to their duty as to Kips
port a proposition to permit Banks to is
sue email notes! Such is the lamentable
position of the Democracy of Pennsylvania
on the question of Bank reform. The rank
and file of the party, it gives us pleasure
to stale, are perfectly sound on this ques.

Blue Nose Anecdote.
We were told a good joke that was play
ed upon one of the delegates to the blue
nose convention by his better half, after he
returned home last Wednesday evening,
and as we can do no injury byhopeating, it,
we will tell it to our readers. The lady
had been anxiously waiting for the return
of her husband for some time, and when
he did make his appearance she resolved
to have a little spots with him, and punish
him for being absent so long. As he came
in the door she rubbed her finger on a
• I wet
,blue-rag that had been used in the
day's washing, and as he approached ex
claimed, "la! husband, what is the matter
with your 7 - Lose," at the sam , tine manipu•
lath' g the gentleman's proboscis in the most
tender manner. The husband declared
that he did'itt know that anythinir was the
mater Pith the.t prominent fent,ire of hi s
good looking countenatw.e, but on stepping
up to the glass to make a personal inspec
tion of the cause of wonder, be was shock
ed to discover that the whole surfuee of his
nose was "deeply, darkly, beautifully blue."
He was completely dumbfounded! What
on earth could have changed his nose to
that colon He knew that he was one of
the most devoted of the patty known as
blue noses, but he did not think that his
zeal was so warts as to give an azure tinge
to his countenance. He was greatly per.
plesetl at the "singular coinci,lance ," as
Mr Craig wool call it, but after his wife
hail enjAyed her sett for a while, she !o
beyed his mind by letting him into the se.
cret of the blue.-bag, whon the gentleman
blew his nose and Liughei heJrtily at the
joke, although it was playe I 4:Hat his ex.
pense.
The G izstte says that under ”Locofoco
Government," the Delaware division of
the Canal "has sunk in keeping it in re ,
pairs from S to $900,000 more than its in
come." Even this would not afford suffi
cient apology for giving the work to stock
specnlators at half its cost, but we have
doubts of its correctness. Will the Gazette
give us the figures—a statement of the
income and of the expenditures?
Nfr Jeremiah Goodspeed, tax collector
of Newport, R. 1, had a day or two since,
stolen from his desk, a package contain•
ing $770, and two cancelled drafts on the
town treasurer, one for $7OO, and the oth
er for $5OO.
This )1r Jeremiah Goodspeed must have
come good speed in collecting. We wish
him good speed in pursuing the thief.—
Let him forego lamentation till he finds the
rascal has entirely escaped, when he may
cqmmence his Jeremiad if he will. By
the way the robber luckily met with good
speed in the ex-!rcise of his profession.

was extinguished with great difficulty, and
and the boat saved, by th.i strenuous ex—

We committed a material error in say
ing the Delaware Division was t ) be sold
for one fuvrth of what it cost, and that to be
paid in State Stocks, The purchasers,
bad it been sold, would ha+e got it for a
built one-half of what the State paid fin it.
It gives us pleasure to state that the nota

meant to rub Pennsylvania of half the
money she had spent on the Delaware di—

elloau Citizens;—As an election will be held In
a few days to obtain the approbation or dissent of
the people whether they will consent to an addi
tional imposition of $25,000 a year to be added to
their ahnual taxes to pay the interest of $300,000
to be subscribed by the city authorities towards
making a railroad to Conuellsville, would it not be
well to weigh the subject maturely and with re
flection, before we take hasty measures on the
subject that we may soon repent of. As a tax
payer, 1 claim the privilege of imparting my views
of the subject and of laying them before my fellow
citizens.
I am opposed :o apy further taxation, as the a
mount already levied is absolutely oppressive and
burthensorne beyond reason and justice,nnder our
boasted free and cheap government. It is such
hasty strides taken under a feverish state of ex•
citement that have brought our state into its pres
ent embarrassinruts, which can only be remeiiied
by oppressing the people with heavy taxes to save
the credit of the State; men may boast and have
boasted of the willingness of the sovereign people
to submit to still heavier taxation to repair ths.
hasty measures and difficulties in which we have
been involved by Quixotic legislators, but I would
ask such free boasters of -rite honor and state
credit who pays the piper? Is it not the property
of our citizens that is taxed to raise all the funds;
these men are exceedingly liberal with the emp'y
purses of the people, and if we arc to believe the
weekly reports of businiss and statements of Edi
tors, persons at a distance would he led to believe
that business is extremely brisk in Pittsburgh,but
let us examine carefully the nature of the business
doing at the present time in our city; we see our
wharf crowded with Eastern and Western pro
ducts loading and unloading, our streets thronged
with drays,and our warehouses at the canal basin
filled with goods and produce; all this activity and
bustle, to look seriously into it,will readily be per
ceived to be doing almost exclusively by transport.

note on the Princeton, N. J. Bank. Mr

that he had dropped the note by mistake;

you may keep the remainder!" Of course
Mr G. did so, but to his sorrow he ascer

Later from St Domingo.— By the brig

there was a very heavy shock of an earth
quake felt throughout the Island, which
disturbei the vessels in the harbor and
created the greatest alarm aw•ung the in,
tants.
The Haytien army was expectf'd to ar.

It appears to create general satisfaction
at Port au-Platt that the President has
been driven from the country and the in*
habitants ate of the opinion that it was fur
the country's good.
It is the general opinion of the people,
that President Boyer sent from Hayti as

that ho now possesses more money than
any other man in the world.

comes from, bat it is none the less valua
ble on that account:—" Don't go into debt,
render. Go to Texas, go to balls in thin
slippers on a wet night, go to the deuce, if
you please, but do not go in debt. If you
do, strawberries will taste like pickles,
lose shoes will pinch, and the kiss of your
wife of sweetheart will be like an electric

GOOD FOR CLAY.—When the Whigs
tound they were thoroughly beaten in Cin

that although they could hardly see out of
either eye at that moment, the State was
certainly 'good for Clay in 1844.' So in
blew York city, where a Waterloo defeat
has overtaken theta—the Whig editors,as
they lie upon their backs without strength
to rise, yawn out 'we are good

your leader 'in 1814.' That year will wit

Prior,in his life Goldsmith,sayarißetween
the imprudent and the parsimonious, there
can be no permanent band of union; if pos—

persons of such oppositse qualities, their
acquaintance never ripens into friendship,
for they cannot pardon the peculiarities of
each other. The imprudence of the poor
always astonishes the wealthy. The aver•
ice of the rich on the other hand, is ever
comprehensible to the poor; it is the first
peeuliarity of character which they notice,
and probably the last which they forget or
