A resolution, returning thanks to the Com- ' mon Council, tor the use of the City Hull, was also adopted. The committee on Resolutions here enter- 1 ed the Hall, and presented the following, be ing read by Mr. Ely, were ununiinously a doptedi WHEREAS, This Convenlion, representing the sentiments ofthe National Conservative party ol the State of Ohio, taking note ol passing events, and guided by the lights of experience and history, do now, us ever, af firm Ihe principles of republican progress, upon which the perpetuity of our free insti tutions und the hopes of struggling freedom against unhallowed power everywhere depend; Therefore, 1. Rttotved, That, ae a national party, we stand by the greut interests of the Union, u Kalnst factions at home and enemies abroad; ami that we pledge ourselves to tho promo tion ami protection of our national industry,' und the development ol our national resour ces, by all logitiwule constitutional means. J 2. Hc olvnl, That the prosperity of the people ol Ohio, a an integral portion of the I Country, results from their own industry ami natural vigor, and constitute no pretext or apology for wasteful and extravagant expen ditures in the administration of the State go? ii anient. 3. RutUvtd, That the party now dominant' in this State have exhibited a reckless dis- regard of those prinolplea of economy ami in-j tegrity which ought to characterize tho ud-! ministration ol our Slate a Hairs. 4. He$alved, That we pledge ourselves, a ml iboae we represent as candiilutes for office, to u strict regard to popular rights, in ull things pertaining to the stupendous interests of our gigantic anil growing State; and that, with- I out abeyance to minor considerations, we will : adhere strictly lo those great Republican prin Ciples which alone can perpetuate our hber lie und our prosperity as a people. 6. Jbsoieaa), That the Locoloco party of ' Ohio, by the charge and admissions of itjt own members, on very lute as well us upon j , i occasions, is composed of elements es- , seiitiully antagonistic, hold together by the Cohesive power of public plunder, in n couli- 0 lion, whose existence is at oncu a libol on Minitency, and a proof of the utterly mer Senary motive of their organization. a. Retolvtd, That ihe dominant party, in ( ts administration of our State government ( or the lust three years, has given the must (luring evidence of its greediness for tho e Molumenta of place, and its contempt of the j leople's interest. Holdinir a working ma- .( ority in both branches of our Genc.al As- a eiubly, bo large as to render it Completely ndepeudent ! Whig obstruction, this parly ius increased four-fold the expense of our itate government; and while (be consliiu ncy were smarting under taxes of the uirist noron degree, they have greatly increased ( ur public burthen, multiplied office and ugmented official salarie, lengthened to un inreusonable and oppressive duration the ses iuiis of our Legislature, w eakened ihe effi leucy of our court and blunted Ihe ends of Uallce, and thus exhibited tliemselve asdan roue and RiiechleVOUi in the management p il affairs, u they aro loud in their false pro Oaeiona of devotion to the popular weal, , 7, fcaahw?.

GUILD, Secretary. The "Spirits" and Banking. I liere is or w as, a bank ml lucngo managed y "Spirits." It fleshy managers wcreSeth "sine, and Ira B. Eddy, they gave up their, iwn judgment, in all things, to that of tho Ipirlta, und did whatever they were command- 'd lo do from the spiritual world. The namo ! if the hank aria "The Hank of Chicago." By lirection of the Spirits, no one who smoked j vns allowed to remain in thellnnk:and those vho nppeared with "tobies" in their mouths, lad them forcibly removed. The Spirits also lirectcd that no bills should be redeemed when iresented by cigar-Bmokers, drinkers, liquor-; lellers butchers, and meat. caters, nnd when my such presented bills nt tho counter for re-1 lemption, they were assailed with such cpi hets as "unclean," "scoundrel," "hog,""cov ird," "hog-eater," &c. On the 8th inst., a1 :ommission of lunacy was issued nt the suit of he friends ol Ira B. Eddy, President of the I Iplritual Bank, who was in a frantic state, lonrishing a revolver nnd threatening terribly. Hit brother, D. C. Eddy, was appointed con lervator.gavc bond in !jj!30,()00, and took hisnf "airs in charge. Seth Puine was also taken n charge on a commission of lunncy. On the )th, it being suspected that the "mediums" had Itolin the funds ofthe Bank, a number of them were arrested und held to bail. From thetcs timony adduced on their hearing we gather tho following, which gives us an insight into"Spi ritunl" banking: "The first witness called wns John M. Holmes, who has been acting ns Book-keeper for the bnnk for some time pnst, nnd Stated that for some time pnst the affairs of the bank had been curried on by the use of mediums. A fe mnle was in the habit of retiring to a back room with Mr. Paint or Mr. Eddy, nnd there professed to hold conversation with spirits of such men ns General Washington, (ienernl Jnckson, and many others, who directed how the all'airs of the bank should be carried on; nnd according as this woman dictated the bank was managed. These women wore constant ly about the hank. Mrs. Herrick retired sev eral times a day und protended lo tell from the spirits to w hom they should and should not redeem money. Some time ngo she pretend ded lo receive n revelation that if any party brought n bill, who smoked tobacco, or drank liquor, or sold liquor, thut such persons should not have their bills redeemed. She hud stood behind the counter and pre tended to recenl such persons on their enter ing the bank, us were honest or dishonest) that she had culled persons absurd names, such ns fools, ii uc lean, dishonest, robber of Ihe poor; that she hud s.iuteheil segart from tho mouths of gent lemen who had come to tho bank on business. There had been great excitement ut the hank for some time past, occasioned bv these proceedings. He knew all the defen dants; most of them were mediums, and Eddy was completely under their control. He ad vised with them on all matters, and followed their directions in all things. Yesterday Mr. Eddy went into the bank and demaudod the key of the safe. Ho (Holmes) refused it, when Mr. E. pointed at a six-barreled revol ver and threatened to ehoot him through, when he gave it up. Most of the defendants were present when thapiatol was loaded, and advised Eddy to de fend himself. Soon alterlhis he left the bank So long as Eddy was under tho influence of the medium.: he should be afraid to Conduct the business uf I lie bank, hud no tear of him if left to himself. Ho returned lo the batik in the evening; found the defendants present; they were consulting the spirits; said they were in communion w ith Ihe spirit ol Alexander Ham ilton, who recommended Eddy to defend him self. Soon after he was told that they had received spiritual revelations that lio(Holmes) wua an enemy and a traitor, that they know nil his secret doings, and Eddy and Paine ordered Ilim to lenve the hank. From Friday to Monday there were great crowds of people about the bank, the peace ivus endangered, all the mediums said that they ivere not to redeem the bills presented bv un slean or dishonest persona. Mrs. Ilerrick fre-1 piently uskedlhosa who presented bills if they md obtained them honestly, and told them hat they had not the murk of honest labor u lout them. Ho hud been to the bunk to-day, nit they would not let him in." There is n precious "revelation." The idea f Gen. JacklOH'l spirit dictating how ashin daster hank should be inaiiu.ed, is supremn i' ridiculoua, The faot seems to be that Pain ml Eddy, rich men, having been driven crazy y this "spirit nipping" delusion, were induced ! y the cunning "mediums" to start a bank, in ! nler that the honest sisters might the more j fl'eclually pluck them. We like to see inch laclosures, The true character ol this "spir-1 4ial"eCOUndrellsm is best manifested in such ! evelopetnents as these. The Chicago "me-1 lume," who tiri-t get their cru.y adherents to turta bunk, nnd then rub it of its assets, are , s honest, wo daresay, as their loss ndventur- 1 j us sisters who confine I heir juggler to little ack rooms and idiotic "circle." Pitltburyh iazette. j i PROTECTION AND LABOR. 'Ohio,' (who says he has long been our I lader end admirer,) writes requesting u to live for him this problem: "You tell us that, if u Protective Tariff were stablished, the manufacturer would be able lo . III. no a better price and sale for hi fubrics, it) farmer for his products, ami the laborer for is lime and labor. Each then would receive loro for thut which lie might have to dispose ' f, ami would have to give more for that which e might need. In other words, the same a HMint of money would obtain less farm pro nets, les labor, and ales amount of fabrics, 'he affect would be a general depreciation of he vulue of the currency , and what would be ;ained !" Well, neighbor: Let ua try to answer 'ou conciaely, aa thi i about the lilteen hun Ired and aixty-eighth lime that we have ans vered thi very question: Dilly Jone, larmer lives in Illinois, where te grows Whest lor a living, selling a thous iiel bushel a year for about aixty cents a Mishel. Sandy Jenkins lives in England and nake Crockery, w hich i exchanged for Mr. lone' Wheal aloreaald. Hut before aaid IV heat reaches said Jones, (duly Iree,) it .as passed through a dozen hand, paid wag oing, railway carriage, freight on the Lake, then down our Canala over the Atlantic, and tranapoitation inland, so that it costs Jenkins (very cent of double the money that Jones rc- - - elves for it. So, on the other hand, Jenkins's crockery comes to Jones through quite as nany hands, and is chsrged to him at least louble what Jenkina gets for it. Our proposition is to levy such a duty on ho importation of Crockery as WBerbear :he natural graitation of ManufitBPPs and heir centralization at the point where Capital s abundant, Labor relatively cheap, nnd where enr of prosperous manufacturing activity lave concentrated the great bulk of the'W lors for Crockery from all parts of the world. These are heavy odds, and will be likely long to keep down all attempts at rivalry on the part of countriea circumstnnced like our. But put on a fifty per cent, duty, and make it Jcnkin's (or some one's) interest to establish the cjazjkery manufacture ncarJonesaand now the latter will for a time pay nominally more for hi Crockery, but will receive so much more for his Wheat that his apparent, loss by the change will be a substantial gain. And so with other producers. 'But how can ihey all gain by tho change effected! If one gains, why must not anoth er lose!' asks in substance Ohio. Why, Sir, thoy all gain nj the saving of tht unproductive labor formerly consumed in trade and transpor tation. Formerly, every bushel of grain con sumed by Jenkins had coal as much in trans portation and mercantile charges as in its ori ginal production; and so (very nearly) with the crockery by the time it had been sold to Jones. This large aggregate of unproductive labor and effort Ins been saved by placing the two producers so near each other that their wheat and crockery may be exchanged at a cost of five to ten per cent, instead of fifty to a hundred. How soon shall we be required to ans wer Ohio's question again! At all events we trust thwi he who asks will not pretend to have been lony our reader and admirer. That i too bad. N. Y. Tribune. Hon. John M. Clavton. This distin guished gentleman, recently elected to the U. S. Senate from Delaware, on Wednesday of last Creek, entertained the member of both branches of the Legislature of Delaware and a number of gentlemen from different ; parts ofthe State with a dinner nt Benson's Hotel, in Dover. After the removal of the cloth, the following toast was announced: "John Middliton Vlaylon Huving faith fully served his native Stute in the PaBtshe is willing to confide in him for the Fuujtk' Mr. Clayton arose and returneuK thanks to the Members of the Legislature the Whigs for electing him to the Senate, and the Democrats for honoring him by their presence at the entertainment. If he had any desire to go back to the Senate, it was for - tfc? - purpose of vindicating his own name and character. It was not his in tention to make a political speech this was not the time or occasion for an effort ol Hint kind but with the permission of those pre sent, he would make a brief ullusion lo the recent events which had transpired in the Senate, because they nfl'ectcd his personal honor and reputation. Mr. Clavton then gave a history of the Central American Treaty how first his attention was called to Central America affairs, and detailed the po litical condition ofthe live States which form that part ofthe Continent, and tho necessity of a right of way through them to our Pacific possessions. After entertaining the audience for half an hur on this subject, without do ing violence to the political sentiments of the Democrat present, he turned to another theme and spoke eloquently ol his native Suite and the men she had produced. Delaware wa proud of such men aa C. A. Rodney, Van Dyke, Bayard, the older nnd young er, McLaRZ and others who had built up her fame nt the liar and in the Council Chamber, He referred to her revolutionary heroes Hazei.itt, who fell at Princeton, Vauhhen who fought in thirty battles, Kirk wood, who fought in thirty-two pitched bul lies, Patton and Jaquett, whoso live were devoted to tho establishment of our Freedom. He spoke of Jones, tho gallant1 commander of the Frolic, and (itnsoN, the son of a chairmaker at South Mllford, who fell at the sortie pf Fort George. His re marks were listened to with much attention und wore closed with the following senti ment.: "77ie Stale of Delaware The homo of our forefathers and the land of our birth or our adoption. May every servant of hers, wheth er Whig or Democrat, so conduct himself in the stiition, which sb aaalgna to bias, a to reflect honor upon the character of our com- mon mother." Bait. American Jan. 27. i IS THE DAUPHIN OF LOUIS XVI. OF FRANCE ALIVE AND IN THIS COUNTRY! THY' The February number of Putnam's Month ly tins a lengthy article, which, if its state ments are reliable, will creuto u sensation throughout the civilized world. The article! is written by Rev. Mr. Hanson, of the Epis copal Church, and bus an air of probability jboul it. The story is too long for our col umns, but the main fuels are as follows: Louis XVI. had three children by Marie Antoinette, if Austria, the eldest was a girl, the second lied quite young, und the third was a son, he Dauphin, and the heir apparent to the French throne He wns born Murch'Jj, 1765. Die French Revolution broke out in ull its komiri soon afterward, and in 1703, Louis XXI. and bjB Queen were beheaded. The Dauphin wa put in charge of a brute, who ibused and beat him 'till he becumean idiot. rhe republican leaders finally determined a send him out of Europe, but, ubout thut Ima, ho was reported as having died of scrof j la, in Puri. This is (he version of tho uf air a generally received. Subsequent developments have seemed to ndicute that the Duuphin wa brought to his country, and left with the Indians in the lurlh-w ester n part ol" New York. In a few ' I'cars his reuson returned. He i called Ele- , izur Williums. He wa educated in Massa :husclts; wa a aoldier in tho war of tud wa wounded at Plaltsburg. Ho ullor .vard studied divinity, and hu for many years jcen a minister of the Episcopal church. He las been a missionary umong tho Indians, md an Indian agent. At present ho i set lled at St. Regis, St. Lawreuce county, New York. Several incidents are mentioned which go to prove that Mr. Williams is heir to the throne of Prance. Dr. Frsncis, of New York, letifie that in 1818, Genet, the French Min ister, declared that the Dauphin wasnol dead, bul was aomcwhero in America. In 1848, a man by the name of Belanger died in New Orleans, who confeed, upon hi death, thai he wa the person who brought the Duuphin to thi country, and placed him among the Indian iu Ihe northern part of New York. In 1841, the Prince de Joinville traveled through thi country. After inquiry, Sic, he found Mr. Williams at Mackinaw. He had several interviews with him on the steamer tl in the passage to Green Bay. After his n arrival there de Joinville told him that he tl (Williams) wns the eon of Louie XVI. He ii was much surprised nt this intimation. a De Joinville went to his trunk and brought y forth a parchment, and upon perusing it, Wil liams found it was a formal abdication of the throne of France by Charles Louis, son of h Louis XVI., who wss known ns Iuis XVII., 1 H in favor of Louis l'hillippe, then King of tho ! fi French. The condition was that he was to l1 be secured a princely establishment either In 1 J this country or in Europe, at his option. Af ter some hours' reflection, he declined the of fer. The Prince had secured t written pledge ti of secrecy before making the revelation to o him. They parted good friends, nnd after'd de Joinville' return to France, Louis Phil-! p lippe wrote a friendly letter to Williams, t thanking him for his kindness to his son, t &c. Within a few years he has received sev- is oral letters from influential persons in France, c Mr. Williams has no agency in this publicn- ( tion, nor is he desirous that the subject shall I be agitated. His personal appearance bears a strong resemblance to the family of the French Kings. j This is a strange story. It looks ntithentic, i but, be it true or false, it will create a sensa- tion in Europe. If it turn out true, the an- 1 nnls of events nowhere present so remarkable a history. O. S. Journal. i I Fatal Attempt at Burglary. We learn ' from a source entitled to confidence, that on I Friday night last week, an attempt was made to rob Ihe house of a Mr. Nissley, residing near Elizabethtown, Lancaster county. On that day the chimney of his house was swept by two chimney sweeps. While they were present, n man came to Mr. Nissley's and paid him severnl hundred dollars. In the night Mr. Nissley was awakened by the full ing of a stovepipe in a lower room or tho house, nnd on going down, hpnrd, ns he thought a noise in the chimney. Taking a gun, "he went to the chimney and called out several times to the person or persons there to come down, or he would shoot them. Not coming down, he fired his gun at random, when down fell a negro mor.tally wounded. Mr. Nissley sent immediately for n physician, but before he arrived the negro wasdead. He was found to be one of the sweeps who had been there during the dav, and was armed with a loaded pistol, n Inrge 'butcher knife, nnd a hatchet, both newly sharpened. Ilarri.sburyh Tele graph.

An unfortunnto sequel lo the late affair between Post Master Oeiieral Hubbard and Hon. George Briggs Occurred at the Capitol to-day. The parties met in ailnrk peerage near the House library Hub- 1 bard grasped Briggs by the hand, exclaiming! "How are yon, Briggs!" Briggs shook hands,' i but in u moment discovered his mistake, and following Hubbard, met him in tho anteroom! leading from tho House to the Rotunda,! nnd said to him, "I huvo just Fhnken hands! with you.

"DOLLAR A FOOT." llic farmer's Monthly Visitor tells the following good story concerning a settlement effected with one of the unfortunates who tvas injured by the collision at Meredith, on the Concord and Montreal Railroad: We are told that when tho agent of the Railroad went to one of the sufferers by the collision of the 8th of October, the following dialogue and settlement took place: "Well, Mr. , you were hurt by the col lision!" "Yes, sir." "Well, now 'twas a shocking affair so many hurt some killed some with broken legs, nnd " "Yes, Squire, 'twas a sad thing, and all from carelessness, sheer carelessness; if the ! careless could only have suffered I wouldn't have cared much." "Nor I; but Mr. , it was no fault of the stockholders, and they have to pay for it. Now, they're willing to pay, and pay libe rally; in fact, to do all they can but they ure poor, you know, and trying to do the best they can." "I know it, but still they must pay for this job if they are poor; you see, people don't like to huve their heads smashed und their legs broken for nothing." "No, sir, I am aware of all this ond so is the company; they're willing to settle the matter right. Now, Mr , what will you take and be satisfied (or the injuries receiv ed!" "I don't know; what will you give!" "Well, now, that's Yankee, Mr. ; the company want you to name a sum; you know the damages, und ull that, so just set the a inount." "Well, then, squire, 1 had my hat all smash ed, my sides thumped, und my wrist jammed; and beaidea, you know, I was thrown into the buy, and went plump to the bottom, where the water was full ton feet deep; well, I got out alone, thank God, and I think the company should pay me about a doll ir a foot!" It is needless to say that the ten dollars; were paid over by the Squire, and thus the company settled their liabilities in sum from! $10 to upwards ol IjiJ.OOO. 03-The mnn that is too poor to take a pa-! per has bought a long, slab-sided dog, and barguined tor a couple of hound pups.

An exchange says: ' When a man gets mad and stops his paper, 1 he always borrows the next number of his neighbor, to see if the withdrawal or his put ronage haan't killed the editor and drossed the columns in mourning.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE INSURRECTION IN MILAN. Proclamations of Kossuth and Mazzini —Great Excitement all through Italy. The London Morning Advertiser says, ed itorially: "Our intelligence respecting the insurrec tion which broke out at Milan on Sunday, is necessarily scunty, owing not only to the fact Dl its being telegraphed, but to the channel through w hich it reached us. "A distinguished Italian exile, writing us last night, expresses his conviction that it is I more serious affair than would appear from the brief notice which tho telegraph gives. He mentions thut Kossuth has addressed a warm proclamation to ihe Hungarian soldiers In Radelzsky's army, exhorting them to join :he Italiun insurgents. Our correspondent aointa to the curious coincidence that the lay, the 9th of Februury, on which the Intel ligence of the insurrection reuched England, vas the anniversary of the proclamation of he Republic ut Rome, and deposition of the 1 i'ope, in 1S48. "It was boldly asserted in Paris that the lutbreuk had been encouraged by Austrian igenls as a pretext to advance their armies iirther into Italy."

KOSSUTH'S PROCLAMATION. I lie following document, which pnofesse i be a proclnmution nddressedby M. Kotsuth i the Hungarian soldiers in Italy hoc been- ubUehtdi In name of the Hungarian Nation—To the Soldiers quartered in Italy. Soldiers! Comrsdes! My activity is nn imited. I am about to fulfil my intent. My ntcnt is to free my country. It is not by orrc we have been crushed. The force or the vorld would never have sufficed to crush lungary. Treason alone did it. I swear thaHbrce shall not conquer us, nor reason injure us again. Our war is the war if the liberty or the world, and we are no onger alone. Not only tho whole people of iur own country will be with us, not only will :hose once adverse to us now combat with js the common enemy, but all the people of Europe will arise and unite to wave the ban ner or liberty. By the force or the people of tho world tho tottering powers of the tyrants shall be destroyed. And this shall be the last war. In this war no nation fraternizes more with the Hungarian than the Italian. Our inter ests arc one our enemy is one our struggle is one. Hungary is the right wing, and Italy the left wing of the army I lead. The vic tory will be common to both. Therefore, in the name of my nation, have I made alliance with the Italian nation. The moment we raise the banner ol the liberty of the world let the Italian soldier in Hungary unite with the insurgent Hungarian nation, nnd the Hungarian soldier in Italy unite with insurgent Itnly. Let all, wheresoever the ularin shall be Bounded, combat against the common enemy. Whoso will not do this, he, the hireling of our country's executioner, shall never more see his nativo land. He shall be forever exiled as a traitor, as one who has sold the blood of his parents and of his country to the enemy. Tho moment of the Insurrection isnt hand; let not that moment find (he Hungarian un prepared, for should our nation not improvo the opportunity, our dear country would be lost forever, and our national Aug would be covered with ignominy. I know that every Hungarian is rendy for the war of liberty. The blood shed by the martyrs, the Bufferings of the country, have changed even the children into heroes. No nation vet rewarded its brave sons so liberally as the Hungarian nation will reward hers. After the victory, the State property shall be distributed among the army, and the families of the victims of patriotism; but tho coward and iraitor shall die. And I, therefore, make it known to you, soldiers, in Ihe name ofthe nation, that who ever brings you this, my order, is expressly sent t' you, that he may report to me the fa vors of liberty in the army stationed in Italy, and thut he may tell you, in my name, how you should organize yourselves. Accept the instructions that are forwarded to you by the nation, through rr,e, and follow them. Let it be bo in every town and dis trict of our own country and everywhere. Brave ones! The Honveds and Hussars have covered with glory the name of our na tion. The world looks upon the Hungarian Hag as the banner of liberty. We will pre serve that glory, and satisfy that expectation It is principally on you 'hat the eyes of the world are turned, for your number is great. The arms are in your h a n d a ; a generous blood in your veins' the love of tho country, and the thirst for vengeance on her executioners is In your breasts. Your task is glorious und easy; for you nre among a nation which will give" its own millions or combats against Austria. From Rome to the island or ihe Sicilians from the Sava to the country bevond the Rhine all the people are unanlnioua in a cry, joined to the clang of millions of arms: "Let God bo our judge. Down with the ty rants! Long live the libcriy ol" the people! Long live our country!" ' Brave ones! By this cry your voice will be like Joshua's voice, ut the bidding of w hich tho Jericho of tyrants shall lull. So I order in Ihe name of the nution. Let every one obey. I will shortly be among you. Atmvotr. God be with you. KOSSUTH. February, 1853. MAZZINI'S PROCLAMATION.
