He says that we, "while professing Anti Slavery sentiments, yielded radical sup port to the Know Nothings." Our an ewtr to this awful charge is, that just so far as the Know Noth'ngs, or any other orpanix ition of men take thorough and onsis ent Anti-Slavery action, just so far we are withlhein, vxd no farther.' Wr.ere ever the Enow Nothings have exerted an AntfSlavery influence we are grateful to them for it ; where their action has been warpeJT)y "the influence of designing men to "Pfo-Slavery ends we condemn and denounce them. We do not belonj to the order, because we are ignorant of the 'precise nature .and .scope of their aims, and tha means, to be used in ac complishing them. "We shall never iden' tify ourselves with them till these things are made obvious to ni, and receive the sanction of par judgment, acang inde pendenllr jsnd -anbiassed.

'. - "In 1776,' a patrotic fever broke out in this country ' which became epidemic. Our Father-in-law, then a youth, had a pro longed and severe attack of the disease: and once he was, with a large number of afflicted, on the bnnk-sof the Delaware, unnder the charge ef Djctor Geortr Washington. One night, he knew by symptoms that all his patients would have a gunpowder paroxysm in the morning.'unless some measures were ta ken to prevent '; and he ordered th in alia plunge in the Delaware, a rigorous rubbing with ice onkr,. t swim to tlie other'shore, and ihn" had them ria-jknl away in . wet blankets u.-nfl th-s nr-xt morning, .

But what is usury"? . Is the sub ject of sufficient importance to warnnt its investigation to claim our attention ? So long as it is written in the answer to the question, Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" " lit that putteth Hut out hit money Mtury" so long the sub ject must be interesting to all who fear God" and would "tcori riyhteousneu." It is scarcely no essary lo ay that what ever wai tl.e original meaning of appli cation i( the terms use and usury, ety mologies l!y considered, r.r as used in common pat lance, or whatever ambigu ity m.-iy in any time past have hung over the meaning of the terra "usury," it has come to have an appropriate and defi nite.-iinii6caiton. According to a celt bra' ed author, there are but two definitions of "usury," one, "the taking of a greater interest than the law allows" the other "the taking of a greater interest than is usual or common for men to take." The former may be regarded a legal the latter a moral definition of the term, and the only one where law interposes no regu'a tions where custom is the only law. A renowned writer says, "Interest a. a premium paid for money, is the mod ern representation of the term usury." From the same writer I further quo:e. "Because of the rapacity of money deal ers, brokers, usurers and bankers, the abu-e of the practice in extorting in the ratio of men's distresses and embarrass-" ments exorbitant sums or the use of money or anything else, the term usury lias come into bad odor, and is now used to represent exorbitant and illegal de mands for the use of money ; and the usurer is the ignoble title of the being who exacts it. Still, all that was an cknt'y affirmed of usury and usurers may be still alleged of interest and money lenders ; i:i other words, the 'tame rapac ity and cruelty may.be represented by interest and perpetrated by the demands of interest that were formerly indicated by the words usury and usurer. ' Sordid avarice has ever been restless under the provisions of the law limiting the rate of interest. Usurers, far from being law abiding citizens, have continually and extortionary passed legal limits. En couraged by success in trampling upon law and justice with impunity, covetous- ness waxed bold, and demanded, if not a repeal of all law upon the subject, at leatt an increase of the rate of interest at once, and with unblushing impu-. dence urged upon a late and unfortunate legislature their past ex:ortionate infrac tions of the law, as an indication of the acquiescence of public, as the a conclu sive agument for the change 1 . " i .' Unfortunately for the interests of the laboring' and necessary business-doing citizens of our State, avarice and extor tion bad their representatives there, in and about that Legislature, in such num bers and power, as with those who had thought little and cared less about the subject they lured in their wake, as to pass an act acceding to ihe importunate demands of covctousness, at least, so far as to license oppression, and legalize usury in all the latitude from 6 to. 10 pet cent., while lawful interest was still con-, tinned at 6 per cent. all the law will now allow of, on any debt which sharp ers or extortioners have not driven a hard " bargain with thoe whose necessit.es : have coinj el ed them to stipulate to pay a higher rate 1 Artful, ii.sidious strat egy, profound viliany, yclept legislation. No law ever passed in this State was as . suicidal in its tendency, and inflicted as : direct and severe an injury to our vital , interests. To have unclad it of decep tion and properly labeled it its title should have been amended, and it called .. by some right name, for instance, "An act to legalize ex oriion and uury," or "An act to make the rich richer and the poor poorer," or an act most cffec.ually to enable capital to op; rsss labor, or an act to subvert moralitv and lo counttn- ance, thicld and sanctity oppression It , ornnlrl t:ik a volume to prtsent the va- i. . ii ariYiimjinlc rA i ,li i. ni ami ..-..

There was too much of the po ent logic of assump tion and presumption based on conjec ture, and energised with a zeal common , only to self interest, not to have been viewed with suspicion and rejected as fallacious. A cause that requires great ingenuity and uncommon exertions to sustain it, is generally founded on error, and argument employed to prop it up, . and support it, are more ofen suggested : by love of interest, than love of truth and justice. . - . It was claimed, that as a State, we had outgrown our monied means ncc essary to promote whoL-some business operations. Thatsuchalaw would reme dy the evil, by causing capital from abroad to flow toour Slate in such abund ance seeking investments, that competi tion would be a safeguard against usury, and soon reduce the rates of interest to less than the average then paid in the Slate that the law remaining wouldevi dently most approve of 6 per cent. that good citizens generally would . be still governed by it, and even the avaricious would be coutent to limit their operations within the legalized limits of ten per cent., instead of comb niog to violate the law, excelling in demands the legal and prescribed limits of 6 per cent. Nothing of the above has been realr ized txcpt the rush of foreign capital in:o our S-.ate, and to the hands of Brokers. "Privileged by a pr'-rr.ium.of per cent, interest above that allowed to our banks, and with neither penalty nor conscience lo restrain them at 10 or 23 cent." I rokers und extortioners have multiplied in our cities and towns as fast as Jorycries. As thev increased in numbers and raon- ied power, they combined to prejudice ! the interests of banls, and promote their own. and in proportion as banks throu - 'h - out our State were compelled for their safety to curtail their accoin nodatinns to their customers businessmen were com - pelled to apply to them to make up the ! deficiency and pay their enormous rates of interest of from 20 to 30 per cent. Let no farmer or mechanic suppose that this state of things relates not to his inteiests thatitisa maltermerely between our business men and brokers. Just as certa'nly as the merchant or drover fails to rut his accommodation iu loans banks at 6 per cent, to purchase goods. or buy cattle, as indays of their and our prosperity, and has to pay 25 oi 150 per cent, to a broker the merchant must necessarily maik his goods higher, and the drover buv our cattle lower. This is too self-evident to require illustration or proof. He must be blind itdeed that in all these exorbitant exactions of high per cents, does not see the extortion will run directly to. and rest oppressively on labor. Am Observer. ! . ', ' ; 1 Correspondence of the Chronicle. Friend Howard: Thinking vourself and readers might be somewhat edified by a communication from Southern Vir ginia, I have concluded to address a few lines to you. This portion of the State, as you atp aware, is very mountainous, abounding in numerous mineral springs, all of which are summer resorts for invalids and oth ers that cannot spend money fast enough at home. . The finest buildings to be found in this part of the State are at these Springs. Some are large enough to ac commodate 700 boarders. Surrounded by lofty mountains, and beautified by fine gravel walks, and clear meandering streams. The wa'er contains a very lit tle sulphur, and as regards the medicinal qualities, (you know I am not an M. D.) I consider that the faith of the patient and the out-door exercise, does more to wards affecting a permanent cure, than the purling water. I have in my mind at this moment, a spring that is, ( for medicinal qualities) far ahead of the "Virginia Springs." It is situated in Mil ton, Mahoning county, about half a mile above Price's Mill. I will not enlarge on this, for I am well awarethat it is use less for a man of my dimensions to un der;ake to injure the reputation of the renewned "Virginia Springs." With regard to Agriculture, ! can say but little. I am not able to form any definite opinion. The farmers have for the last few years, been turning thir at tention to stock raising, and the result ol the experiment is, that they find it much more profitable than raising ne groes, and the consequence is, slavery in this part of the Stale is very much on the wane, and will eventually die out, (I mean west of the mountains.) This con clusion is founded on reason, forwiththe increase of stock raising the decrease of negro raising must be the result. In stock raising the services of white men are sought, and where it is not considered degrading for whiles to labor, the mar ket for blacks is sure to flag. In this county, where a few years ago you only found a few inferior cows, to furnish milk for the black boys, you now find large droves of Durham and other fine cattle grazing on the mountain side. One farmer in this county has now on hand "700 fine large cattle, and many others from 3 to 500. There has also been a. great improvement iu hoises. Where a few ye trs ago jou would only see a negro with "old Vthilv. an! shovel plow, you now see a white man with a fine, team and Yankee pi w," and what has been the cause of this great ange ? Asl have sta'ed, it is simply this. Farmers find it much more pleas ant and profitable to raise cattle and horses, and that with the increase of stock rais'ng the decrease of negio rais ing must be the natural result. I am fully covinced that slavery in Western Virginia will in a very few years be numbered with the things that were. . I am fully satisfied that "internal im provements" will do more towards rid ding this country of slavery than any other "one thing. None are sold here now except those that become unruly cr are guilty of some offence ; they arc not raised ior me market at all. xt is impos sioie lor v estern v irgmia to occome thickly settled at present. The reason is this. A few men own all the land, and will not sell it, but the time is coming when this country will teem with its thousands instead of hundreds as ut present. I am getting too lengthy,(a great fail ing of mine,) and will only a Id a few words by way of conclusion. "Old Virginia" is about to undergo a great political change. The political horizon is growing darker and darker ; the Demociatic party that have so long ruleJ with absolute sway are on the verge of a yawning abyss, and before ano her six months roil round, will be hurled to the bottom ; there will unly be o:ie groan and all will be over. The "Know Noth ings" are "omnipotent" here as well as in Texas, where "Sam" comes from, and Wise (the candidate for Governor,) is strong against thein, and the probability is that Mr. Wise wi 1 be defeated by an overwhelming majority. Some of his friends ihit.k he will not run. ue tnis as it may, n: n slumping the State and will be defea ed. The old parties seem lo be entirely broken up ; as much so a in the North.

In f e House Mr. Faulkner made some remark concerning Fremont, which brought Benton to lib feet in a passLn. Mr. F. disclaimed anything derogatory to Fremont. " After some rather anima ted debate upon the President's veto of the Steam r bil', they wound up with Ihe following : It was resolved that all business in the private calender, at the close of the ses ion, be referred to the Co nmittee on Claims. The House concurred in the Senate's amendment to the bi I requiring prepayment of postage in all cases, and prepayment in postage stamps after next January. Mr. Wentworth, of Mass., from Com mittee on Commerce, reported a bill pre venting the introduction of foreign pau pers, criminals, insane and blind persons. Mr. Breckenridge, in examining the bill, stigmatized it as anti-Repnblican. It is one of the fruits of that spirit which is now sweeping like a hurricane over the land. He denounced the K. N.'s was willing to abide the time when there would be a reaction in public sentiment. Emigrants must come here with a pass, like negroes going from one plantation to another. . Mr. Campbell knew nothing about the new organization, and asked Mr. B., whether he had not understood that the gentleman who reported the bill was not swept down by the hurricane. Mr. Breckenridge replied that he had so understood. Mr. C. Then why charge this-bill with being introduced undtr a Know Nothing spirit? Mr. Breckenridge understood that Mr. Wentworth was defeated for Congress by that organization, but thought it probable that the gentleman introduced the bill to put an extinguisher on Know Nothing ism. He would rather tiust next Con gress, which, it is said, will be full of Know Nothings, rather than have this bill thrown in this House, patched up to compromise the subject. The bill re quires every human being coming hither to obtain a certificate or pass, and makes an odious distinction between the rich and the poor. Mr. W. denied that this bill spru ig in the House. It had been printed more than two months, and had been duly considered by the Committees on Com merce and Judiciary. It was done in accordance with a demand of the Atlan tic States, which only asked that Europe keep her own worthless population at home, and not pour them into this coun try for us to maintain.

The Sergeant-at- A run was despatched in se.irch of members. Meanwhile the memtxrs amused themselves with a kind of convt rsational debate, all in fine hu mor, though half asl ep. At nine o clock the fcergean(-at-Arms reported his success in hunting up mem bers. Excuses were made by some ol them that they had retired to refresh themselves. All further proceedings on call, dis posed of. The House adopted the report of the committee on conference on the Navy Appropriation bill.

Important Liquor Case in Cincinnati- Important Liquor Case in Cincinnati-Charge and Sentence by the Court. J. J. Jones, a :ollt-e-housf keejer, was tried before Judge Paiker on the 9th, on an indictment found against him in June, for keeping a house of habitual resort, where intoxicating liquors were sold and drank on the premises. A large number of citizens of Lockland, who rejoice thai the law has stepped in lo abate a nuisance that has defied moral or any other kind of suasion, attended the trial as witnesses. It was proved that the house was kept as a place of habitual resort where intoxi cating liquors were sold and drnnk on the premises, and that liquor had been sold to minors. We copy from the Ga zette the charge and sentence by Judge Parker: Gentlemen of the Jury: The defendant is indicted under the second section of the "Act to provide against the cils resulting from the sale of intoxicating liquors in the Slate of Ohio," it is as follows : "It shall be unlawful for any person or ersons, agents or otherwise, to sell intoxicating liquors to minors, unless on the written order of their parents, guardians, or fam ily physician ;" and under the fourth sec tion, which is as follows: "All places where intoxicating liquors are sold, in violation ot this act, shall be taken, held and declared to be common nuisances, and all room, taverns, eating rooms, bazaars, restaurants, groceries, coffee-houses, cellars, or other places of public resort, where intoxicating liquors are sold, in violation of this act, shall be shut up and abated as public nuisances, upon the conviction of the keeper there of." Another section provides that as essen tial to a conviction, it is not necessary thai the kind of liquor should be described, or that the name of the persons to whom sold should be stated, and in all coses the law allows the persons or persons to whom intoxicating liquors are sold in violation of the law, to be competent as witnesses lo prove such fact, or any other tending thereto. This being the law, it is not for you, gentlemen of the Jury, whatever your private opinion may be, as to the expediency of the law, to do else than de cide from the evidence, if the defendant has violated the law. Neither the Court or Jury have any right to interpose their private opinions in the discharge of their duty under oath. All law-abiding citi zees should abide bv and conform to laws, as this has been decided to be con stitutional bv the Supreme tribunal in Ohio. The duty of the Jury is simple, clear, and specific. Did the defendant violate the law, as shown by tcstimr.ny adduced in Court ? It mokes no differ ence in your finding, whether he deemed the law unconstitutional.' The public are not the constituted judges to determine this, unless their determination is express ed in their bu'Io.s to change the law. He who disrespects law, can claim no exemption from the penalties of the law, because he diflered from the law-makers as to the propriety of its enactment. The question for your consideration! is, did the defendant under the first count sell or jzive away to minors intoxicating liquors unlawfully, or keep a house of resort for selling liquors other than beer, wine, cider, &c, to he drunk on the premises? If he did, he is guilty, and must be responsible for this violation of law ; if he did not, you are to sny so. The giving away cf intoxicating liquors, or other shift or device to evade the law, is deemed to be and is held to be an un lawful selling ; if you find that he has violated the law by such an attempt to evade it, you are bound under your oath to find him guilty. This is the law until it is repealed, and the law pronounces that places kept as the house of the de fendant is alleged to be kept, are public nuisances and are lo be abated. You can, if yoy so find, render a verdict of not guihy, or guilty as the case may be of either or both of the counts of the in dictments, or guilty as to one, naming it, and not of the other. . ion can rctre, gentlemen, and the Court will regain ia session until 12J o'clock; if your verdict be not rendemJ before that hour, and agreed on during the recess of the Court, a sealed one may be allowed. The Jury retired on the charge frjm ;he Court, and in fifeen minutes returned u iih a verdict of guilty as charged in the indiclineut. Nc motion having been made' in arrest of judgment, the Court proceeded to sentence the prisoners. Court John Jones stand tip. ' The Grand Jury of the county have indicted you lor violating the Act of May 1, 1S54, entitled " An act lo provide against the evils resulting from the sale of intoxica ting liquors in the Slate of Ohio," and a jury of your peers have found you guilty; have you anything to say why the sen tence of the law should not be pronounct d in vour case f Prisouer Yes, Judge, I will make a few remarks which I think are essential. It is well understood that I cm an old num. and not able to work. I have for time kept a drinking house for the support of my family; and this very pros ecution was commenced and earnei jou 'h bv Sihe work. The first wimss this case is the man that caused it IIj ntver saw liquor drank in my house ; but to enlrap me, sent two boys to drink my bar ; he had me brought before the Mavor ; the Mayor had me brought before tha Grand Jury; th-y found a bill against me, and here I am. I ask noth ing but justice ; what is honest and just between men. Yon have a right, Judge, sentence mo as you p!ease, of course. . The Court The fact that a man in vi- o'.ating the laws of the land, is doing it to make a bring, is no mor n justification the wrotig and crime, loan thai ol steal, to nmke a suppjrt fjr his family. While ihe conMitatio.i provil.s that a man may, and has a right to choose his empioyimnl io make a living, it does no! eld him from the penal:ie: of iolating Kw.iii his ciio'oe nd d .i ig hat is dttii Nutal to the pcb'..c Welfare., A ihis i-. m firjt olli-uce brought ti ti e notice o!

All good citizens must respect this act, as it is the law ot the land, and the constitutionality of which has been sustained bv the Su- pr mc Tribunal of the State. You, J..lin Jon -s, are sentence ! to pay a fiua of 8-30, and ba imprisoned in the jail of the county for twenty days and pay trie coils ol prosecution. Ail order wi.l be entered that the place where the liquor was sold le shut up, and the nuisance declared by law to exist, abated by the Sheriff, or Londs of 1,000 given .that it wilt not be 'agaiu used for :ha same purpose. -' N . - , The prisoner was reman led lo jail. ; The Gazette states that there tr.s ten liquor cases on 'lie docket of Judge Park er's' Ccurt7 which have I Le ,-n "'continued over until this Term, awaitin" thedecis ion of the constitutionality of the Liquor Liw. The Gazette adds : It will be seen that both the Prcsecu ing Attorney and the Court express their . - . i.i- . jeiermiiiatioii io uo ineir uuty i; enforcing the law fond ifthe i eopl" ill do their duty as well, wc shall soi n put an cni to the sale of ardent spirits by the glas, and uotiseqiieiiily close a vast number ol" the eleven hundred lippling-sl.op scattered ul! over the city "a consummation most devoutly to be wished." On Friday the Grand Jury made a re port, returning twenty-five indictments for violating the Liquor Law, and three for giving Gifi Concerts or managing lot teries. The Times states that the Grand Jury are not half through wiih ihe coffee houses, and an exciting time may be looked for in a few da s. The old liquor cases are still delayed by counsel fbr deftnlants. The point urged by the liquor sellers is, that the Court of Common Pleas has no jurisdic tion over these cases. A defect in the law abolishing the Criminal Court is the ground work for this motion. . The Times of Friday says : The effect of the liquor law now in op eration, is already observable in the di minution of crime, nnd the scarcity street drunkards. Not a single arrest was made by the polic. yesterday, and but one this morning. This is, indeed, rarity for Cincinnati, and if this be not the cause, we are at losi to know to what to attribute if. . The State law may not in all cases be observed, but there is that wholesome fear of its penalties which prevents the giving of liquor to men to an extent that intoxicates. In this respect, if in no-other, the benefit of the law is already perceptible. Virginia and Ohio. It has been claimed there is "virtue in stones." At least so thought the old man who found a rude boy in his apple tree. Virginia not the state of Virginia but Virginia politicians, are trying what vir tue there is in stones upon their brethren in Ohio of the Slave Democracy, to make them come down from their high and virtuous assumptions on Slavery, publish ed at the late 8th of January convention. The Richmond Enquirer is disposed to be easy with the brethren, and soften down the declaration that (as expressed in their resolutions) they deem it to be 'th- ir duty lo use all power clearly given by the teimsof the nalionul compact to pre vent its (Slavery's) increase," to mean just nothing at all ! For, says the En quirer, "Is not the denunciation of Slave ry really emasculated by the qualifying reference to 'power clearly given. -c' Not so, says the Richmi nd Examiner: You, Mr. Enquirer, may throw turf, but we will tiy what virtue there is in stones! After conceding that there is a little more "nationality" in the "Northern Demo crrtic party" than in any other consider able body ot politicians in the free States, it repudiatrs the idea of looking to any party at the North for orthodoxy on the Slavery question. It calls upon the South to arm herself r ith stones and to to stand ready to defend her rights. It says : "She must not consent to overlook ex ceptionable conduct in her allies and must keep the understanding ever uppermost and alive in their mind, that the alliance is lo last only while the most jealous self-respect shall tolerate it "There are two conditions necessary to the continuance of llvs alliance. - The first is a scrupulous observr nee of all the safeguards that are drawn by the Con stitution around the domestic institutions of the Statts.- The second is a friendly abstinence from all indirect assault and censure upon those institutions, which is olten more insulting, if not injurious, lhan direct attack through the forbidden agency of Government. It is not an ally that shall constantly remind us of our unworthiniess f his countenance and sup port, and shall embrace every occasion lit or unfit, to lecture us phari-aically upon tlie exceeding depravity of the institu tions he is leagued with us to protect, that the South desires or will tolerate. ;'It is precisely this "sort of alliance that s proffered us by Ohio Democracy." It proceeds to quote the resolutions of the Ohio Convention, nnd then pays it the following piquant compliment : . "There is more honestv in downright rampant abolitionism, than in such cow ardly, sneaking, miserable cozenage. There Gentleman of the Slave Dem ocracy of Ohio take that !

Coal Smoke. of a At a recent meeting r t the " London Instituiion of C.vil Engineers," a paper was read " on the means of avoiding smoke from boiler furnaces," bv Mr. W. Woodcock. It was ttaied that' ordinary pit coal under the process of destructive distillation, gave off various- volatile sub stances, some of which were gases, such as hydrogen," " marsh gas," "defiant gas," "carbonic oxide," io. Thr se end others existed in the furnace only in a gasseoui state, f coming liquid or solid wnen in me external air, and or such coal tar was composed, and amidst them th" carbon, in tninut sub-division, was held in suspension, giving to the su.o!e its sa ble hue. All these ga-ei wtro n inbiis tible, at given temp, r.iturrs, provided a certain amount of oxygen was present. It was shown that the atr cotitiunii.g this -x i'gov J?,.

Tnns - by establishing nearly perfect primary combustion, tl-.e quantity of smoke evolved was s'lown to be reduced to a niiuimuin of which no iracc ever reached the summir of the chimin y. The apparatus by whic-h this desirable end was described, and it wis stated that the results have been very sat isfactory, that al Messrs. Mix's Brewery, where the means have been tried, there was not the slightest appearance of opaque smoke from the chimney, and that the money saving would not onlv, from the more perfect combustion of tlie fuel, but from the use of an inferior qna'tity pf coal, at a lower price, amount to full twenty per cent. This success was so great as lo warrant t ie introduction of the apparatuj to the more genera! notice ol the profession and the public through out the Institution of Civil Engineers. - A Panther.
