STAR & REPUBLICAN BANNER.
TIM TRUE 'BUIE namers AND PLAINLY
BTATAIL—At no period since the foundation
of the Whig party has the contest in this
state been more doubtful or more important.
On the result of the coming election hangs
the fate of Van %rennin. One united el
fort throughout the State will free the coun
try from the domination of a party which,
under .the nume of democracy, has estab
fished a practical despotism—under the
guise of republicanism, has acquired the
confidence of the people, and has used the
People's name to pilfer the Peopre money.
Since this party hasthad possession of the
Government, from a frugal, plain, and re
publican Gavernmeut, it bas become the
most extravagant end costly Government
on earth. In 1‘ 2 27 our expenditures were
813,000,000, in IF3t3 they were upwards
of 830,000,000. Vl'e held Mr. Adams re•

1929; why should 11r. Van Buren be scree

With all this vast expenditure of monee,the

MILTONVILLE, Ohio, April lath.
We have had two cases of deliberate,
wilful murder in this vicinity, within the
past two weeks, and both of them were
husbands murdered by their wire,. The
first was that of John Knowlee, late
merchant of Perrysburg, by his wife
Eleanor. They had been man led less than
a year; he was an old bachelor--she a young
girl—both I believe members of the Baptist
church. Ho was poisoned by arsen:c.
Probable cause such as might be suspected
from the relative age and circumstances' of
the parties—he rich, she poor ; hp old she
young. An unfinished, letter, written by
her before her arrest, exhibits a degree of
depravity almost incredible— , mentioning.
among other things, that she and a certain
young man had contrived to meet her re
gularly undiscovered,though not unau-pected
by her bushand.
The other case was that of a Mr. Sun.
mons. He was pot out of the way in a
summsry manner, by a single blow from a
broad exe,in the hands of his wife, directed,
as ho was sleeping in bed, to his throat, but
praising through his mouth, in its way
thither. His wife expresses no remorse at
tim net, assigning, as the reason, that he
woul I not go back to Maryland, as she
wished, nor let her go, and that she would
not live here with hint at any rate. Sum
had a few weeks since attempted to run
away, but was pursued and brought back
by her husband. he being compelled to tie
Ler before he could succeed in getting her
home. Since then, she says, she has been
determined to make away with h:m, and
had secreted a straw cutting knife behind
the bed for that pdrpnse ; but fearing she
should not make sure work with that, she
concluded to employ t he instrument she did.
They had a family of cbildnem one of
whom, a young woman, ran to her father's
assistance, but finding the and fatal,
wrested the axe from her mother, and ran
to her neighbor and gave the alarm.

AN EXTRAORDI`!BEY DEATH.
The Nevi 1 nrk Gazetta mentions the
death of a young man named George Wash.
ington, at the Broadway House on Tuesday
evening, under the following circumstan
ces :
Mr. Martin, the proprietor, had recently
closed the billiard room, and hod removed
the gas pipes to a lower room, adjoining the
bar room, intending to have them put up
Thu i•, While they were lying there on !La
floor the deceased took up one of the pipes,
and observing same obstruction in it, he
applied his mouth to the end with the hope
of blowing it out, but no sooner had he done
so, than an explosion ensued as loud as the
report of a musket ; a blue flame issued
from the pipe, whieb marked the door, and
the room was instantly Oct.! with a dense
smoke. On entering the room, the deeetn
sod was found lying on the floor, the blond
gushing in streams from his mouth and
nostrils. The accident was at first attributed
to spontaneous combustion, hut as the demi.
sod was a temperate young man, this idea
was abandoned. Medical assistance was
promptly procured, but the deceased only
survived a few hours, suffering the most in
tense agony. When it is considered that
the gas pipe was entirely disconnected,from
any metal, the manner of this death may be
considered truly extraordinary.— Alexon

CHARACTER OF GEORGE THE Fourcrit.
—Tbe - time is almost gone when people will
talk of that regal reptile,Georg,e the Fourth,
as of one who redeemed the faults of his
heart by his exquisite graces of manner—
the time is almost gone when people will be
found to accede to the judgment contained I
in those very absurd lines of a very, noble
poet, that 1, was—
ti--without alloy of fop or roe,
A finished Erntlemun from. top to toe."
George the fourth was not a gentleman in
any senseiof the ward except that he was
born to wear white kid gloves and do noth
ing. As to his ease of manner, it was noth
ing mere than a bratiful and most cool as
sumption of the fact of his being immens•
ureably the superior of every one about him,
and a most implicit belief that they were
all made to do him pleasure, and to live for
his service. A man who entertained this
idea could net but be nosy and unembarras.
sed. Embarrassnent arises from a suspicion
of a man's own inferiority, and such a
thought never occured for a
.moment to,
George the Fourth. In every thing beyond
Ibis assumption of superiority, which no
man who is eternally surrounded by flatte
rers can avoid, George the Fourth was,
the meanest man and mnst despicable of
mankind. He had not a sentiment of pat
riotism, generosity, or virtue, to warm his
rer
:fast ; he was not a real gentleman. He
lad not either ono spark of that honor
which forms a very bad substitute for these,
whore those are wanting, and furnishes forth
the conventional gentleman. Be wns the
most reckless reprobate, and the most un•
principled swindler upon town. He was the
greatest blackguard that haunted the stews.
There is not ono among 'the lowest of the ,
low blachlegs that Infest the metropolis,
who possesses so perfect a freedom from
any thing like restraint, either religinue,
moral. or honnrablo,upon his will,aa George
the Fourth had. He would contrive the
most deliberate schemes of plunder ; lie
would make a man dunk, and then cbat
him out of his property, as he did the Duke

ranee, urging the gallant sons of the Weßi
to deeds of noble daring, and to certain
Victory. It is the Same Henry
Harrison; who afterwards, with means
which would now be considered totally in
adequate, aided all the attempts of Great
Britan to retain pCwrs , ion of a portion of
Our soil, drove n well trained, well fed and
well paid , army from our north %,Ve.4rern
borders, and finally captured the main bo
dy of their forces beyond the American
lines. In short, it as dike same William
Hen-r 7 Harrison, who, in the language of
the tronfiti4, 4 'pever lost a battle or euffer
ad a Weal.'
. But this is not all. General Harrison
does-not shine as a Mere soldier only, or
his friend might grellly err, as others
have most . unfortunately done hefors them,
in supporting him for the Presidency. A 8 a
civil officer his conduct is above all praise.

In tho first parngrnph of' his report, Mr

"In commencin , * the fifth annual report

Here the new Superintendent says ho is
not prepared to sohmit commentaries upon;

THE Pcur.re Is:en OV ENTO. —The.Key

with a considerable flourish :
"The total amount of canal and railway
Lolls, received during the flair weeks, end•

For four weeks of last year, ending on the
21st of April, the amount received was
9109,10.1 :1F), which makes a ddrerence of
9:35.5(12 92 in favor of the present yea►.
This is a gratifying ►evault to the friends of
Pennsylvania prosperity."
A few weeks since, in speaking of the
condition of the public improyeinenti, this
same sheet published the following :
"At some places the streams running in
have nearly filled the canal with earth, and
in other places, large sections of wall ten
or fifteen feet high, had fallen in, and could •
only , he laid tip,pliove the Wster, and left,
together witl► the banks and bridges, to be
finished and repaired hereafter."
What a comment the flirt of these arti

and is an apt illustration of the statements
in general made by that sheet.—.lb,

our town, in ord r to trace the probable

which the former road was designed to con
nect. We have understood, the report will,
in all probability, be flivorable, with respect
to the policy mud expediency of continuing.
and completing this road. The work had
been suspended for want of additional ap•
propriations. and prejudices it is said, origi
nating from a political source, were opera

appointment of a committee, in order to

it brake the legs of each of his servants, and
then hear - him charge them with insubordi•
iation and conspiracy, ler not having exe

When I see an old bloated toper Meg.

My opinion of the legality of the body
