GEORGE WALKER, of Ditnocyrosrastup;trie

say anything in commendation of him. He has

JOHN L BIRCHARD, of Middletown, is the
candidate for Auditor. This office is one of great
; importance; but it being one of little or no profit,
too little care has oftentimes been exercised in the
selection of a candidate by the dominant party. It
wants a man of sound judgement, strict integrity,
and well versed in the ass of figures. We are
not acquainted with the whip nominee, but are
credibly informed the selection is an exelient one,

All the c : which Texas ever had to an'sportion
of Nisi M ico, is contained in an act of her Leg
islature de ing her boundaries, and a treaty with
Santa An while a prisoner, and of course entirely
itiher pow r. Neither of them has the least sem
blance #of lidity . .
"Previous the'annexation of Texas to th e Unit
,ed States, ny claim of hers to New Mexico, to be
rectignird , s valid, must have been obtained by
conqueat or ftreatyy. That she never conquered the
ex T eci
to ' holy is Very certain. The only army ehe ever
. s t aqamst the New Mexicans was completely de
fen ; and she never did or could .elereise juris
diction,over any of the territory in dispute. Conse
quently she can set lip no claim of conqiiest. As
to a title"-by treaty with• Santa Anna, we consider
it the most &nil of all pretexts. Santa Anna, at
the time of the (treaty, was a prisoner of war and
whollY in the 'pewer and custody of the Texans.—
No lair I pl natins winill hold him competent to
execute a treaty which could bind the Mexican na
tion. O4 nation in the war with Mexico, found it
a Mexicati province ; conquered it as such, and paid
Mexico for its annexation to the United States. Mr.
Polk. in his annual Message to Congress congratu
lating-the nation on the victory of their anny-speaks
of it ai a Mexican province. He uses the express
ion "the Mexican province of New Mexico with
_
Santa Fe its -capital."' •
No Claim remains for Tease but the resolves of
her own legislature. If such resolves amount to
title, it is the easiest thing in the world for one na
tion to c onquer another. But it is hardly possible
to admit a plea of right ..on any .such assumption.
One well-directed 'thought will dispel any doubt
which may arise in the mind of the render. If your
neighbor has a piece of land which is convenient
or desiiable for your possession, just go to your
bciok of records and there describe the boundaries
of your own farm so as to include the desired piece
in , que!tion. What progress would you make, by
the transaction, towards the establishment of a ti
tle 1 None in the least. Neither could Texas, by
a mere act of her Congress establish any just claim
to the territory of New Mexico.
The only difficulty which attache; itself to this
question of boundary, was caused by theythullimg
(Abe Polk administration in order to
,tify the
war with Mexico. And even in ' we have
shown by the extract it Was merely a shuffle or
pretext. else Mr. Polk would not have spoken of
",tha Mexican province of LiCw Mexico with Santa
Fe its capita L"
In view of these facts we do not see how north

from ulee, Butler, or Dawson, as from Sturgeon,

But: from such men as Cooper of this State,
Winthrop of Mass, Phelps of Vt., Clark and
Green. of 8.. I, we did expect a different vote. It
is, however, to their credit that they made every
laudable effort to get a boundary more favorable
to theprinciples of free soil ; but at every step
they *ere squarely met by Cass, Dickerson, Stur

because it robbed New Mexicci of seventy thousand

Although we never fully approved the Compro

with which we greeted ita defeat, has given place
to greater sorrow by the, passiiip in the ' Senate of
Mr. Pearce's boundary. Anci!we are surprised that
joutraits xvhich bent their whole energies to defeat

-Resolved, That in the 'recent "complimentary

Resolved, That we desire in this public manner
to express our sincere thanks to them for their
splendid entertainment on Friday last; and while
we could wish to make more than a mere verbal
acknowledgment, yet we cannot deNre a speedy
opiiortunity of returning the honor in our own way,
but 'they may rest assured that whenever duty
calls they will find us ever Ready to act, though
we,may be Rougl; in the - execution.

which we became the victims by an invitation from

made the festivities pleasant by their presence,
with the worthy "citizens" who permitted the Fire

teem with which we regard our brother Firemen
of Binghamton prompts the wish that they may
yet be able to boast of such fri e nds as we have

and' Ready.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be

Slavery.
Here is the profile of our national actiqn on the
subject now before the people :
In 1774, we agreed to import no more slaves af
ter that year, and never formally repealed that act
of agreement.
In' 1776, we declared that " all men are created
alma, and endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable• rights, among which are life , liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness."
In 1783, we formed the " Confederacy," with no
provision fot the surrender of fugitive slaves.
In 1767, we shut out slavery from the North
west Territory forever, by the celebrated proviso
of of Mr Jefferson.
In 1788, the. constitution was formed, with its
"compromises' and guarantees.
In 1808, the importation of slaves was forbidden.
But,
In 1806, we annexed Louisiana , and slavery
along with it. .
In 1810,_ we annexed Florida, with more slave
rf•
111'1820, we legally establish ed territory west of the Mississippi,ffouth of 36 deg.
80 mm.
In 1845, we annexed Texas,with 325,150 square
as [ a slave state.
In 1848, we acquired, by conquest and treaty,
the free tterritory of California and New Mexico,
containing 648,078 square miles. Of this 24382
square Miles are south of the slave line--south .of
30 deg. 30 min. Here is territory enough to make
more then 30islave States of the size of Idesachn

Small Bills.
The law prohibiting the passing or cirealatmg of.
bank notes of a less denomination than five dollars,
is now in force. We last week noticed the injustice
of 'the effect which we supposed it would have.up
on the business interests of the people of this por
tion of the Ciimmonwealth, as well as the difficulty
and perplexity to which it would sobjeev the pour
or laboring &asses generally. To that law are at
tached ,penalties that may now be enforced against
all orny one who shall violate it.
Mo men are ready to observe strictl'rall laws.
They e also disposed to refrain from doing any
act wh reby they may subject themselves to pen
alties f their violation, without enquiring ,into the
right R ich a Legislative body may have in enact
ing them,and attaching penalties thereto fur their
violation=-taking it fur granted that they are right,
because the Legislature has made them. We are
often surpriSeed to find upon our stainte books,
laws that are wholly at variance with goad, sound,
practical common sense, and opposed to he spirit
of the Constitutional rights of the citizens. The
" small bill " law passed by our late Legislature,
appears to be one of those cases. That it is Oppos
ed to good common sense, ;the universal condemna
tion of it by the people, isl the best evidence re
quired that it'is so. , That It is Cm unconstitutional
law, every one must be convinced, who will exam
ine into, and reflect upon the -rights guarantied to
the citizens; both by our declaration of rights and
by the letter and spirit of the_Constituii,tii.
Our " Declaration of Rights - ," declares among
others, that all men have the right." of acquiring,
possessing and protecting property and reputation,
and of pursuing their happiness." What, then, is
property I It consists of 'houses, lands,; merchan•
dize, agricultural and mineral productionsand mon
ey. Money is in fact property ; but to ;it a fixed
value has been attschec4 and by co ninon con
; sent and the laws of the several, and United States,
is designated to represent the value of ;the differ
ent species of property. Hence the only difference
between one dollar, and one bushel of wheat, a tOn
of coal or gallon of oil, is that the price or value
~of.thedollar is fixed by law, while the price or
...5,...;-_....e,--ty t-6.4. of property are fixed by supply
and demand. A.ll admit she neces4ltv u' 11,51,7
but it is necessary only MS a medium in in:inm the
. . .. ...... _
within a smaller or more convenient compass, mad=
mg a rule of it, by which to measure their value.—
That which we call a dollar, is selected from all
other names we give to various kinds of property
at a fixed value; by which' men are to be governed
in exchanging the one from the other. Consequent
ly money is property, and that we haven right "to
acquire,'possess and protest." This being so, has
the Legislature any right to take away any of the
privileges we legally have in possessing ourselves
of it 1
The several States grant their citizens the priv - -
liege of banking institutions, whieh . are but depos
its for capital, representing so much property, and
known as money. If• this is so, it must be admitt
ed that hanks are legal institutions, and the bills or
notes issued by them, are'in no manner whatever
opposed to the Constitution. either in letter or spir
it. We would then ask, can the Legislature of
Pennsylvania pass a law designating the different
kinds property, or denbminations that her citi
zeng shalt use. Which they may choose to brine
within her limits from an adjoining State i Cer
tainly nOt. ft would be a high handed outrage
upon thhir,rights and a gross violation of the Cun•
stitutiott of the 13,mted Slates.
With very many people there is connected with
banks and banking operations an idea of great
mystery. But it is a simple subject, and, as easy
of comprehension as any one whatever.l What is
the difference Whether an association is formed, the I
member; of which agree to deposit - a certain l''
amount i of money which They call capital, under
the na*e of bank for the purpose of lohning it to i
their neighbors, at a fixed• rate of use, called-inter- i
eat; or whether they invest the same :amount of 1
capitallfor the purpose of merchandizing! The 1
mercantile association, whether it consists of two or 1
twenty members, sells ddllar for doll:4 with their i
fixed rate of profit added, which is the use they I
get for' the money they invest in merchandizing !-- i
The Bank lends dollar for dollar for a fixed price
or rate per cent of interest, which is the profit or I
advantage the members or stockholdersl of the as-
'sociation receive, for the use of the money they in
vest
