The resolutions having been read, a very
strong sensation was evinced by a large portion

Josiah Buckland, the boy who was shot by
Moses Elliot, an account of which was publish
ed by us on Friday, the Springfield Repub
lican says, lingered until Wednesday, and died.
The verdict of the jury of inquest was, that the
deceased came to his death by a pistol shot by
Moses Elliot; but whether by accident or de
sign, they are unable to say. Moses has been
arrested. The event has deeply afflicted two
families, and we hope will prove a solemn ad
monition to boys.
The six Million Loan.—Governor Marcy’s
bill mortgaging the state of New York, to
the amount of six millions of dollars, to sustain
the Safety Fund Banks, has become a law.—
Whether or no the provisions of the bill will ever
be carried into effect is another matter, not so
easily decided. The great mass of the people,
untrammelled with the collar of party regard
this measure with abhorrence, and instead of
aiding will throw serious obstacles in the way.
Scrip may be issued, but it may well be ques
tioned whether, even with Governor Marcy’s en
dorsement, it will command the necessary a
mount of money. TheN. Y. Daily Advertiser
says—
“ We do not believe the history of election
eering, in all its varieties, either upon the large
or small scale, contains such a device as that
above mentioned, to buy popularity from a com
munity. The faith of the State is to be pledged
to the amount of six millions of dollars, to up
hold monied institutions, which are the proper
ty of private individuals, to enable them to car
ry on their business upon a larger scale, to make
larger discounts, and to realize larger profits,—
which profits are for the exclusive benefit of the
stockholders. Having given to the proprietors
of the several banks, in this city and elsewhere,
what are called monopolies, by which they live
upon the industry of the community, and thus
‘ make the rich richer, and the poor poorerthey
are not content with the bestowment of these
exclusive privileges upon a favored few, but
they advance them millions of capital beyond
their own means, and lend the credit of the
State to them, to enable them to increase their
profits to a great extent. For all losses upon
thisenormous State Debt, and indeed for the fi
aalredemption of the stock, the State is liable.
u is then a heavy debt, fastened like a millstone
round the neck of the State, for the payment of
'vhich the property of the State, for that is what
!s meant by the credit of the State, is pledged;
dnd hence the propriety of calling it a Moht
1ag^ uP°n the property of the State.
'Two millions of this loan are to be disposed

ject is obviously intended to operate more im
mediately upon individual interests, and feel

\jj^^*e'—This distinguished American artist,
^ » ■family, embarked yesterday on his re
u 0 Europe, where, we believe, it is his pur
% '
pose to remain. It is little to ttie credit of our
country, that this gentleman should so soon
have returned to re-enter upon a foreign resi
dence, and that, too, under such circumstances.
It is well known that he came hither, under an
appointment, as drawing Master to the West
Point Military School. The salary, however,
| being inadquate to his support from the Ame
rican government—there was an informal un
! derstundmg with Mr. Leslie,that a painting room
should be erected at the Institution for his ac
commodation, that he might employ his pencil
for his own benefit, when not engaged with his
class. But we learn that not only has the go
vernment refused to fulfil the implied engage
ment, but lie was placed in quarters not the
most convenient for his family. The conse
quence is a resignation and return to Europe.—
Weir, as we have somewhere seen it stated, is to
fill the station at West Point—and if so, it will
be well filled. He is at once a gentleman, and
an able and accomplished artist; and if regret
at the loss of Leslie can be lessened, it is by the
appointment of such a successor as the Institu
tion will find in Weir.—N. V. Com.

Sir,—To satisfy every enquiry, I beg leave to
state, that the small flag displayed at times, when
' there are many strangers in town, is for the pur
j pose of directing their attention to that part of
the Public Buildings, in which the Museum is lo
I cated—the sign on the walls, not being seen, ex
I cept from the west side of the street.
1 also avail myself of this occasion,further to ob
serve, that the National Banner, is reserved for
public occasions, such as the 4th of July; Wash
ington’s Birth Day; Muster Days; Public Elec
] tions; anniversaries of Charitable Societies,&c.
i and on such a glorious day as this—the 18th day
I of April—when the Directors of the Bank of
, Potomac, and Directors of the Farmers’ Bank
of Alexandria, have so nobly, so independent
ly, and so honorably stepped forth, and pledged
their private fortunes to sustain the reputation

DIED,
In Fairfax county, (Va.,) at the residence of
his mother, Mrs. Fanny Chichester,—on Thurs
day, the 37th instant,—Mr. Richard Chichester,
in the 29th year of his age. Thus has a most
amiable young man been snatched from an af
fectionate and fond mother, and many relatives.
Those who knew him best were most fond of
him and his society. He was truly amiable and
scrupulously honorable, correct and high-mind
ed, in all his transactions. Though he has la
bored under severe affliction for years, and his
late illness of one month, which was painful in
the extreme, he bore it all with patience and re
signation. We trust he has gone to a far bet
ter world of peace and rest in the house of his
Heavenly Father.

To,the Editors of the Richmond Whig.
We have just heard of the result at all the
precinct elections in this county, and are beat
en. The whole poll stands: Booker, 456—Yan
cey, 440—Patterson, 425—Bwiidurant, 417—Old
Rives was here with all his troops. If the whole
election had taken place at the Court House,
the late Delegates would have succeeded, or if
the elections had been two week off.
Thursday Evening, 6 o’clock.—The Polls have
been scrutinized to-day, and Patterson is thought
to have the majority of good votes by 15.
There is no doubt Buckingham is right. Great
changes have been effected lately: the people
are opening their eyes. If there had been no
