Patriots must be ridiculed no longer. They

IMPORTANT FROM CANADA.
Wo learn from a gentleman who came into
the city this morning from the eust, that the
Patriots have been successful in the three bat
tles at Prescott. Tho last battle being ono un
parallcllcd in the annals of history. The Pat
riots, who numbered only were in a wind
mill about a milo from the town. On Thurs
day lust, the royalists transported a 33 poun
der from Kingston to Prescott, and commenced
to batter down the windmill, but before they
could bring their gun to bear upon it, Col. Van
Schultz, tho Polander, with Co others, rushed
upon them and captured tho enemy's gun.
This heroic, action was dene in the presence
of 3000 armed royalists. After loosing their
gun, tho royalists withdrew'Xheir men and
boats, and have proceeded up the. Lake, proba
bly to endeavour to quell a risingf.in the west
ern part nf llio Province. ..'
Up to Thursday night, it was impossible for
the Canadians or their AmericSn friends to
render them any as is tance. IJro this,how
cver, it is expected that they have been
joined by a strong reinforcement. Rochester ,

Wc have tho new of Thursday morning
confirineJ with allthe iyrnblo particulars... Ac
cording to tho best information wo can get a-r
Lout two hundred and fifty patriots, about two
thirds of whom were (Canadians, and the reBt
American and foreignolunteers, some of them
tho nolbtst and bravest spirits the world ever
produced, crossed oyer the river, and took the
commanding pointj known as the Wind Mill.
Perhaps a point of more dangerof more cer
tain destr.i-tion, under the circumstances,
could not ho found in the whole Canada?. Pres
cott is '.ho strong hold of toryism. .. It is the
central point to which the troops could be
brought in a few hours, from both directions,
and to perfectly surrounded and more and
worse than all, it has proved to be a place,
from which all supplies and all succor could be
cut off from this side, by the united exertions
of the English and American troops and offi
cers. .'. -
The heroic little band sustained themselves
nobly. Again and again the British forces ral
lied, and were repulsed with heavy losses, and
not without serious loss to the Patriots, The
ground was covered with killed and wounded,
In the mean time, Col. Worth who for a
month past is said to have been engaged in the
gratuitous employment of furnishing the Brit
ish officers with all the intelligence be could
collect of Patriot movements, (and who, if it
be true, deserves muchot bis country) arrived
at Ugdensburgn, called out tne troops and mi
litia, and U. 8. soldiers, seized vessels we be-
- lieve contrary to any existing law, and acting
in concert with the British, effectually preven
ted all relict and succor from reaching the Pat
riot.' - i '- ' " -
The British brought large reitiforcoments and
heavy artillery. They now amounted to three
thousand, and tne little band of patriots, now
greatly reduced in numbers, and harrassed by
continual fighting, with their dead and dying
companions around them, were again attacked,
and again, with almost superhuman exertion,
repulsed the tremendous odds against them.
It was on this morning that -the brave Pole,

J 100,000 roil a cape. A curious speci
men of native ingenuity, and of the extrava

sionary Rooms. It is a cape worn by a Sand
wich Isliind Chief, which, according to an es
timate, of Rev. Mr. Richards, must have cost
$100,000. It is made of small feathers, of very
bright and beautiful colors, only two of which
grow tinder the wing of a particular bird.
There are skilfully wrought upon a coarse net
woik, so as to form stripes of several different
colors. The manner of obtaining thoni is as
follows: An adhesive substanco is placed up
on the cud of a long pole, and some bait a little
below. This pole is held near the bird, upon
the rocks and branches it alights on the end
of the pole, and by the adhesive substance is
caught, and drawn up and the feathers pulled
out. Mr. Richards estimated that he could
have obtained $100,C00 worth of provisions,
with the labor that was expended upon this
cope. There are aisotwo small tippets for
the neck, made of the same materials. V. Y.

MAUMEE CITY EXPRESS.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1 J838.
Banking in Ohio, Tha charter of most,
if not all the Banks in Ohio, will by their clau
ses of limitation expire in 3843. At that
time, if it is not done before, the party then in
power will be obliged to assume tho responsi
bility of supplying their places with institu
tions either by the same or of soma other na
ture or the still greater responsibility of letting
those places go unsupplied. We suppose that
the party now holding the ascendancy in the
state does not, at present, " dream of laying
down its rule before the advent of the year
1843, and aa it claims to possesB a platform of
principles sufficiently ample to meet all the ex
igences that can possibly arise in our manifold
commercial relations, we should like to know
what it would do in the case stated above.
The dominant party in Ohio cannot long re
main unenlightened upon the subject of finance
while it enjoys the lectures of a Shannon or an
Allen, and the essays of a Medary and a Brough
they must be fully indoctrinated, not to say
impregnated even now; and we should be
doubly susprised that the manner in which the
places of the Banks of Ohio are to be supplied,
has not transpired, were we not induced to
hope that some groat plan is secretly in agi
tation, which is ere long to be developed, start
ling us all with the sublimity of its conception,
the comprehensions of its views, and its aston
ishing adaptation to our peculiar position and
wants. The party is no doubt fully apprised
of all that needs to bo done, otherwise its lea
ders would not have predicated their claims to
success with the people upon a question of fi
nance. They would not have drawn tho at
tention of tho wholo state upon a single point,
unless that point had been fully considered,
and the way marked out by which, through it,
they might perpetuate their power. We do
not complain of this. They judged eorroctly
in the estimate which they made of the import
ance of good financial regulations. It is, and
should be, on all absorbing topic, for in some
shape or other it effects, and strongIy,the in
terests of every person in tho state. .
Well, what will the party do to supply the
place of the present credit system of Ohio?
And this is a question to bo considered now as
well as five years hence; for if the principle is
conceded that we want the use of capital em
ployed in banking, it is easy enough to see that
we need more thus employed than we now
have or, in other words, we note need more
Banks. Ohio, with a population of one mill
ion needs more machines for facilitating the
business of the money market than when she
possessed a population of only three fourths of
a million; with ten millions of acres of land
under cultivation, she needs a greater exten
sion of the credit system, than with only five
millions. Thus, if the present system -is a
good one, something should be done under it,
by the Legislature every year, to keep pace
with our growing commerce, agriculture and
manufactures. If it is a bad one its placeshould
be supplied with some other, and that spee
dily. " '
From what has already transpired, it can
not be expected that the party now in power
will ever regard the present bulking system
of Ohio with ' any especial favor. Indeed,
the last political crusade was directed express
ly against the institutions and the like of them,
and from what has been said and done, we are
left to infer that their destruction is determin
ed upon, or at the least, that they will be suf
fered to expire, without a prospect of their re
vivfication. ' ', "- J. "
' Throwing then, incorporated monopolies
out of the question, we have reason to expect

A Politician bt Trade. Many years
sinco, a gentleman of distinguished standing
in society, then holding the highest execu
tive office in one of t lis Eastern states, had oc
casion to pass several days at one of the prin
cipal towns upon the Hudson river. During
his stay an election occurred, and being at
leisure, he amused himself with observing bis
fellow citizens in the exercise of the highest
prerogative of freemen. ' Among thosa who
were taking a spirited part during the canvass,
this gentleman's attention was called to one
who seemed peculiarly forward, unprincipled
and successful. II was of a light, dapper Eg-
urc, florid complexion, sandy hair, with a
spice of dandyism mingled with vulgarity in
hiscarriage and address; smooth, insinuating,
artful, humble and full of flattery to his supe
riors, active and watchful. At ono time lie
might be seen leading a staggering Dutchman
to the polls, and thrusting a ticket into his
hands that he was too blind or too ignorant to
read; at another drinking and carousing with
a knot of drunkcu Irishmen, whose, votes he
was soliciting for his candidate, and again
talking loudly about Aristocracy ' and . the
rights of the people, seizing upon the prejudi
ces of his auditors and moulding their feelings
and passions to suit his purposes. Tho gen
tleman was constrained to inquire the name
of this cockerel demagogue. It was Martin
Van Bureul And here was the school in which
Martin Van Burcn commenced the trade of a
politician, a trade which he has followed with
a tenacity worthy of a better cause, and which
has eventually raised him to a position thai
shoul dnever be occupied by a mere politcal as
pirant. He is the first of the politico-presidents :
may he be the last. - -

in circulation here, all is paper; blue, red, and
white notes, torn and dirty, representing five,,
ten, and twenty-five roubles, kc; they are tho
only medium of change, which never varies;,
an attempt to circulate foreign gold coin would
be attended with great loss, as you would nev
er obtain its real value." There exists a law to
prevent this paper money from being carried
out of the country, and, what may appear par
adoxical, another to confiscate it if afterwards
attempted to be introduced again.v The rou
ble which in former times, was worth from
thirty-six to forty pence English, is now only
worth ten pence in its paper shape. We have
seen tho time in England, when a one-pound
note was not intrinsically worth more than
fourteen shillings; but here the depreciation,
owing to the enormous issue of paper, is far
more serious, the silver roubles being equal to
three and a half or four roubles of the latter.
