are very indignant at 1113 rocharter of this institution,

ted for it, without mercy. The day for the creation or
renewal of banking institutions has gone by, and we do
not warder at the iedignation of iii people of Ohio,at
'hare-chartering of such an iftathution as the Bank of
W aoster.
The scoring that the democratic traitors receive for
their betrayal of the principles of the partyijaat placed
them in power, is well deserved, and we hope the po
litical knaves maybe made such an example of, as will
hereafter deter all others from sacrificing the interests
the people. and violating their . trust. Among the
traitors ie a Militia Generaf,named Lasat,from Stark
county, The Canton Democrat has exposed his per

'tale trash of federalism about banks aiding the penile.
The freemen of Ohio have suffertl too severely of late
from the dishonesty of banks to be cajoled by such rea
-tinning; too many of them have been plundered by the
Wooster financiers for them not to desire a speedy ex
tinguishment of all such institutions,• and we believe
that the bitter execrations of th 3 people will fellow all
who are instrumental in continuieg the evils of a rotten
banking system
The mstrver in which tho %Vuowr Bank has mnna•

sylvania. The whole whig strength supported it viith
out hesitation, although it was exempt from that great
safeguard, the individual liability clause There being
a small democratic majority in the Sena , e, however. it
became necessary to find means to change the notions
of a sufficient number of them to go' the bill through.
In this, we are sorry to say, the bank men were but too
atustitnitful; the eas) virtue of Gen L s UM, and three oth
ers, could not resist the kind of arguments that the
bank men urged, and the charter was carried by the
same Mearld 'that induced Penrose, Dickey & Co. to
vote for the Pennsylvania monster.
is. We believe that the analogy between this Wooster
concern and the U S Bank will be found in more par
ticulars than in the manner of obtaining re-cbarters.—
It may justly be considered a suspicious circumstance
when bankers desire to be exempt from those princi
ples which govern the conduct and business of indivi
duals,Ond as the Ohio institution has received a char
.tsr whitlow this pretesting clanie, it will doubtless turn
out to be equally as rotten as the monster. It may go
on fur a few years, and keep its actual condition, like
whig principles. from the public eye, but the crash will
come at last, and its effects will be disastrons.
We dislike the renewal of any Bauk charters, but
more particulecirof such useless ones as the Bank of
Wooster.
ligr"TkeGazette* Advertiser' - is the name of
the paper that has sprung from the amalgamation of the
Gazette and Advocate. It is a good' ) looking, well
filled sheet, and from the numerous promisee made
by the editor, we have no doabt it will continue to be
interesting to those. who like such mattes as will ap
pear in its columns.
The editor gives various reasons for dropping the
name of the Advocate, any of which would be sufficient
to justify his course, but there is one that he has not
mentioned, which in our opinion, would be a better jus
tification than any thing else. We mean the corrupt
means by which the Advocate was established; and
the fact that at one time it was supported by funds
drawn from the U. S. Bank, when that institution was
attempting to get a recharter from the government, by
buying up all the vs nal presses in the country. This
fact was proven at the time, and it has lived in the
minds of the people ever since. By dropping the
name, perhaps, the infamy of its origin may be forgot
ten.
STATZ ConTENTION.—The State Convention will
meet at Harrisburgh en Monday. We hope that its
deliberations will be governed by harmony and good
will, and that the only consideration in selecting a
candidate will be the success of the party and its prin
ciples without regard to men.
A writer in th• St. Leta* Reporter, censures the
steamboat men of that place for getting their boats
built at Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, in preference to
St Louis. In the course •f his remarks be says that
two dollars a ton more has been paid at Pittsburgh
.than at St Louis. This we consider the best evidence
in favor of the skill and experience of our boat build
ere, and shows that tfits river men give us a preference
over all others.
The fears of the sditor of the Gazette that he would
meet with us if he should resume his intercourse with
the Lodge, are groundless. We have never taken any
equestrian exercises on the goat. a pleasure which
we believe our neighbor enjoyed when he bees me a
member of the Lodge, and as we do Most think it pro

ATTEMPT Or BABE, THE PIRATE, T 3 ASSASSINATE
HIS BARBER, AND COMMIT Setcinx.---08 Saturday
afternoon, Tucker, the colored harbor of Centre street,
near Franklin, New York. proceeded to the prison of
tat city to remove the beard of Babe, the ifate, who
is sentenced to be hung on the 7th of next month.
He placed his lather box in one pocket, and a razor in
•anrcher, and entered-the cell of Babe, as us& to per
form the necessary duty. One of the keepers closed
the outer door to keep all safe, and retired to his post
on the causeway, in the centre -of the corridor. No
sooner had Tuckerentered the cell. than Babe, who is
a very athletic man, seized him by the threat, and,
with an herculean effort, forced him against the wall,
and demanded his razor, saying that his time had come,
and he was determined to cut his (Tucker's) threat,
and then conclude the tragic act' y performing the
same operation upon himself. Tucker refused to de
liver up the instrument of death, when Babe renewed
his energies, and twisted the neckcloth of Tucker with.
one hand. while be held the two arms of his antagonist
with the other. " Give me the razor," says Babe,
" while I end your existence and mine also—Quick !.
quick! or strangle you to death!" "Murder—
murder," shouted Tucker, at the height of his voice.
"Silence—silence!" cried Babe, "Give me the razor
or I'll twist your neck off." " Mellow—bellow !"
bawled nut Tucker.—" Mr. Keeper—murder—mut
der—help-7help--I'm killed—come to my rescue—
oh!—old—morder—murder--murer."
At this instant Mr. Keeper Fallon, who had been
on the corridor below, rushed to the cell door, and
threw it open, when be found Tucker standing with
his back against the wall, pale as
.moonlig,ht, and shiv
ering is though at the height of an ague fit, while Babe
who stood opposite him, wait convulsed with laughter,
and shook his sides as though they would crack at the
fright •he had given barber Tucker. Keeper Fallon
instantly saw that Babe had been practicing a stet cling
joke upon Tucker, and ke also reared with laughter,
but Tucker quietly edged towards the cell door, and
instautly darted out, as though still fearful of the
threats of Babe that had so terrified and appalled him.
He refused to have Babe, but after considerable so
licitation consented to hold the glass while the gay
pirate shaved himself with the razor that Tucker had
so pertinacious') refused to deliver up.
A side glance from Babe, as he flourished tha razor,
caused a second fit of ague on the part of Tucker, who
was compelled to place his arm against the wall to
keep the glass from betraying his emotion. The ope

be a rarity if he ever enters his cell again, as, wit 'n
ever he thinks of Baba's determined m inner aid fero

not avoid shuddering at his previtets fright.
This Babe is a strong' , fellow—thus to play off

PUBLIC MEETING—OPENING OF WY LIE ST.
Pursuant to :mime, a meeting of the citizens of the
East Ward, was hell at the store room of Mr I' Quinn,
on Thursday evenitie, February 29 The meeting was
organized by calling .1 KR EM IA /4 Irony, Esq. to the
Chair, and appointing John Quinn, Secretary.
Oit motion, the f.lrowing gentlemen were appointed
a Committee to draft ResOlutions expressi , s of the
sense of the meeting:—Messrs Wm Collingwood. C
H Paulson, Ii M Stevenson, P Quinn and John M
?derange: who, in a short time, reported the following
Preamble and Reso!utions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, for several years past the ()peeing of Wy
lie to High street, has been a subject of Mitch dispute
and contention, and seems likely long so to continue
unless the city undertakes the matter. And Whereas,
said street being closed is of great injury to the city in
keeping back improvements,and thereby preventing an
increase of revenue, and is also an obstacle which will
prevent the laying of water pipe, and thereby cut off
another source of revenue to the city. By its present
obstructed condition the value of property in its vicini
ty is greatly impaired; so much so. that the present
rates of city taxes thereon are entirely too high, but
would be just and reasonable were said streetopened.
And 147tereas. by In Act of Assembly provision has
been made for opening said street, and in accordance
therewith assessments have been laid on the property
adjacent to compensate for damages done for opening
the same; all of which have been paid, except a very
small balance which remains—liens of the lots unpaid,
and could be collected by the city without the loss or
cost of one dollar, by purchasing the claim of Mr L.
Kingsland to said balance, and thereby remove all
cause of complaint with those persons who have paid
their just sutras towards opening said streets,and titere
by give them the free use of the same as they of right
are entitled to.
And Whereas, we believe that the city Councils
should protect the rights and interests of the citizens by
immediately adopting measures to remove the obstruc
tion from this, which will be one of our most public
streets: and more especially when, if properly attended
to, it will not cost the city one dollar, but will be of
great benefit in encouraging improvements and increa
sing its revenue, and obtaining justice for its residents.
Thetefore,
Resolved, That we respectfully but earnestly solicit
the Hop. the Select and Common Councils to under
take the opening of Wylie street.
Resolved, That wo believe that the suggestion con
tained in the opinion of the City Solicitor on this sub- .
ject, viz: that it would be safe for the city to rchase
Lorenzo's Kingsland's claim, is wise and ju that
it is our deqire that the members of Councils the
3d ward should vote for some such measure.
Resolved, That these proceedings be signed by the
officers of this meeting, and be presented to the Select
and Common Councils, as our prayer and petition on
the above matter.
Resolved, That these proceedings be puldished in
the city papers.

The important services rendered to the whole West
