With the portentious heading it had, the
Mexican news on Sunday produced quite a
consternation. There was no occasion for it.
We are not even satisfied of the probability
of any sort of war, except that pure negative,
suspension of all friendly intercourse. In
the United States such a measure would be
of mcmentous consequence, and would
therefore indicate much. In Mexico it is of
little moment the Government never hold
ing the rights of commerce in any respect
their trade being small, and that mostly
smuggling. To what extent they will go in
this way, is doubtful; but the following para
graph from the N. O. Bee, of Wednesday,
may afford some hint.
Mexican Consulate. It has been inti
mated in the papers of yosterday, that Mr.
Arangoiz, the Mexican Consul for this city,
intended closing his official business here to
day. We can state positively, that such is
the fact. Persons having business with the
consulate, will therefore have to bring it to a
close during the day.
We find in one of our exchanges the fol
lowing extract from an article in tho Wis
consin Argus. When the Democratic press
generally learns to speak the same plain, ho
nest language, then we may hope to see the
creed of the parly someting more substantial
than a mummery. Charleston Mercury.
" We are aware that it may be difficult at
present for Pennsylvania to elect to Con
gress any but tariff protectionists; but must
Democrats abandon their principles and suf
fer the " Young Democracy" forever to stand
still, to accommodate the avarice of a few Iron
makers in Pennsylvania?
" But we must have the Democratic vote
of Pennsylvania, says one. But what do we
want of her vote? If we must forever be
ruled by Whig policy to accommodate Pen
nsylvania, or rather her handful of aristocracy
her vote, for ausht we can see, may just as
well be whig as democrat. But in fact, while
her voto is cast for whig measures, it is
whig vote, whether whigs or nominal demo
crats are elected to carry out those measures.
"Can any man define the difference in
sentiment between democratic Pennsylvania
and whig Massachusetts, upon the absorbing
question of the tariff? We hope the time is
not far distant when an advocate of a taritl
will no more be recognized as a democrat,
than tho advocate of a monarchy. The idea
that whatever is advocated by a professed
democrat is of course democratic, is as absurd,
as to suppose that the vilest abuse of langua
ge must necessarily bo correct grammar and
sood rhetoric because uttered by a man pro
fessing to be a scholar. Democracy is made
up of immutable principles, which will never
bend to the mistaken opinions ot those pro
fessing it; and if it ever succeeds, it must
succeed upon an intelligent perception of
those principles by the pubhc.mind, and not
by running after men who say they" are de
mocrats and are not.
Anti Rent Murders. A correspondent
of tho N. Y. Journal of Commerce, writing
from Delhi, Delaware co., N. Y., gives the
following account of the last anti-rent out
rage: " This morning Sheriff Moore, with
under Sheriff Steele, Constab'e Edgerton,
and P. P. Wright, Esq., went to Andes
about 14 miles from this place, for the -pur-
nose of selling some property which had
been distrained for rent, (the sale having
been .ouce postponed for want of bidders.)
About half past four this afternoon, iWgerton
cimo into this village express for medical
aid, stating that as himself, Steele, and the
Sheriff were riding, and had just passed
through the gate-way into a field, where the
property was, they were fired upon by a com
pany of Indians, or white savages in disguise
and that Steele was dangerously, and it was
feared mortally, wounded, and that Steele's
horse and his own were both shot dead."
Steele has since died.
The Free Press of Detroit, Says the bro
kers are paying 024 cents for .Farmers and
Mcchanics's shinplasters. Circulation sup
posed to be $70,000. Go it coons. - This
is another evidence of your 11 sound and per
manent currency." Oh ! for the beauties of
coon banking! Democratic Spart.

Senatorial Convention. Our friends in
(his county, so fur as we have been able to
learn, heartily concur in the recommenda
tion of the Charloe Convention as to the
time and place for holding the Senatorial
Convention. It will bo seen by the fol
lowing, from the Defiance Democrat, that
friend Yearick also gives his cordial con
currence. We hope our friends in Allen,
Mercer and Van Wert will readily give their
assent, and thus settle the question:
(7- We would call the attention of the de
mocracy of Mercer, -Allen and Van Wert,
counties to the resolution adopted at the Rep
rcsentative Convention, fixing the time and
place for h'olding the Senatorial Convention.
After some consultation with several gentle
men from Putnam county, who stated that
there were no suitable accommodations for
delegates at Section 10, and that any action
by this Convention in fixing the time and
place would be satisfactory to the people of
the above named counties, tho Convention
thought it proper to fix the lime on FRIDAY,
the 2th day of September next, and Junction ,
Paulding county, as the place. We will guar
antee good living at Junction, as the landlords
there know how to do " things up."
Representative Convention. We congratulate
our readers upon the result of the Representative
Convention, held at Charloe on Wednesday last.
It was one of the most respectable Conventions
we ever attended. S. Yearick, Esq., was called to
the Chair, and we were pleased to see our brother
of the quill presido with so much dignity and
impartiality. W. Carter &. W. A. Brown, Esqs,
were appointed Secretaries. On the fifth ballot
ing, Horace Scott Knait, Esq., of Putnam, re
received 45 votes; W. J. Jackson, Esq., of Henry
received 17 J. M. Gillesde, Esq., of Defiance, re.
ceived 4. Mr. Knapp having received a majority
of all tho votes (66) was declared nominated.
resolution was afterwards passed that he receive
the unanimous vote of the Convention, which was
carried.
The nomination of Mr. Knait to the House of
Representatives from this legislature District will
impart joy to the uncompromising democracy
of the entire state. In the selection of Mr,
Knapp it is evident that moral, political, and
intellectual worth have been alone looked to,
considerations too frequently lost sight of an
trampled under foot by expediency politicians
and partizan wire-workers. Mr. Knaff only
a few years ago, came into this community
without wealth, without rich and powerful friends,
in short, without any of those advantage
calculated to confel influence, or common
support. But with a mind richly etorcd wilh
political truth, and popular equality sympath
zing with the masses by whom he was surrounded
pnssessedof anenergy which knewnolimit,oth
than complete success, he gave heart, soul, and
hands to the great work of radicoreformation in the
currency, of which many of the boldest of that day
spoke only in whispers. The apostle, and advo
cate, of doctrines considered by many of that day
impolitic, and even dangerous, he looked to th
constitution as the text book of civic truth, and
confiding, with the heart of a democrat and a man
in the integrity and intelligence of the people, li
announced boldly as the leading article of hi
creed a return to the currency of the constitution
the substitution of a purely metallic currency for
the deceptive trash which then inundated the
state.
From that day to this, he has been the unwavering
advocate of the same great truths, and while
others, some even who occupiodj .tho- higbostpf-
ficcs in the gift of the People, through fear, or
corruption, have shrunk from the conflict, and
gone back to the flesh pots of federalism, Mr,
napf, co-operating with the generous democracy
of the North West, has organized an army whose
watchword is success, and who will never rest
satisfied until Ohio Bank paper is numbered
with the things that were.
As the advocate of these doctrines, Mr. Knapp
has been nominated; as their advocate he will be
elected, and as their advocate he will command
an influence with the honest men of the Legisla
ture, that will be a terror to the Lahms, the Olds,
and tho Lakes, of the Bank power.
In these remarks we do not mean to leave the
implication that Mr. Knapp's competitors are not
attached to a sound constitutional currency. All
we believe are so, and some we know are strongly
favorable to all efforts designed to root out from
among us the corruptions and frauds of paper
money. And the proof of this will be found in
their hearty support of the nominee of the conven
tion, given through their friends, at the ballot box
in October next,
But not only in selecting a manly, firm and
capable man, as candidate for Representative did
that Convention perform its duty; but it added
as a vote ot instructions, or miner as tne ex
pression of tho will of his constituents to
strengthen him in the right performance of his le
gislative duties, a series of resolutions, introduced
by Ben. Metcalf, Esq., and unanimously approved
by the Convention, which in vigor, boldness, and
radical truth have not been surpassed by the pro
ceedings of any Democratic assemblage in the
State. They show that tho Democracy of the
District comprehend fully that higher and more
enlightened expediency that goes for truth in
political contests; secure that however unpopular
it may bo for a time it must ultimately win th
approbation of a manly and patri otic people. Th
hearty burst of opplause with which the tsoIu
tions were' received, evidenced the ready oppre
ciation of correct principle by the men of the Cn
vention.
The Ohio Statesman. We welcomed Mr. Haze,
well to the conduct of this journal, hoping that he
would emulate, if not exceed, the firm, manly,
course of his predocessor. We were pleased with
his talent as an elegant writer, and with hi open ,
frank style. In the contest in which ha becam
involved with the Cincinnati Inquirer and Steu
benville Union we desired not to interfere. We did
not care about the disputes of Massachusetts, If
we found him sound here. But we do not. H
has at length declared for Banks for a now form
of Iho delusion, and his approval of Secretary
Walker's course in making the WooBter Bank a
depository, his commendation of this shaving shop
which palmed olf the paper of worthless banks, by
thousands, upon the canal laborers, and Which
loans all its funds to its own officers his anxiety
to identify the Democracy with having at one time
supported the Pet Bank System and his eulogy
of such pitiful democrats as E. B. Olds, hove a
meaning. We need no charges from Massachu
setts to tell us that he has nothing in common with
the Democracy who desire a " sound currency."
We regret that a man f Mr. Hazewell's abili
ty, just from another State, should at once have
thrown himself into the scale against progr essivs
Democracy. For here progress relates to banks
few here deny that a protective tariff ia wrong
;n principle, so with land distribution, and the
other articles of party faith. But on the question,
of Banking it is different; by taking other than
a negative ground by becoming the defender
orapologist of banks by proposing now scheme
for the perpetuation of the delusive system, th
editor of the Statesman forces himself into a ret
rograde course, on the only real issue. So far
as his talents and position give him influence this
is unfortunate; as regards himself he has no doubt
chosen his ground with perfect knowledge of th
consequences. We question not his sincority or
the purity of his motives; but he is becoming the
ally and must ultimately become the organ of
men who hove neither sincerity or honesty whigs
in all that makes the financier and speculator of
that party " stink in the nostrils" of honest and
virtuous men. The editor of the Statesman say
he favors tho "real hard;" if so, why does h
show his preference by proposing a measure that
can only result, as all other grand panaceas have,
in flooding us with a currency soft to rottenness.
But to show that we do not misrepresent his posi
tion we quote the following from his remarks:
"Wilh th independent treasury tho law of
the Union, and a thoroughly-guarded free
banking system in Ohio, the currency ques
tion might be considered as settled.
"We do not wish fo be understood assaying
that a system of independent banking would
be faultless that under it all would be plain
sailing on a summer sea. Far from it. There
would be failures under it, as under any sys
tem devised by the sublimest wit of man.
Failures in busincs are often caused by mat
ters with which banking has not the most
remote connection. Too much of the busi
ness of the world is but a higher sort of gamb
ling gambling recognized as well by the
statute as by the customs of what is called
good society; and it is an inevitable thing,
that where gambling goes on, there must bo
a set of miserable people called losers. But
we arc of opinion, that under such a system
as that of which wo are speaking, less evil
would be experienced from failures, than is
now inflicted upon the world; because one
of the most prominent causes of failures,
would be removed. If failures are incidental
to business, so much more powerful is the
reason for removing any known aggravtion of
an inevitable evil."
This moonshine of " Independent" or " Frer
Bankins'' is as wild as it is impraoticanle, and a
unreal as tho "stuff that dreams are made of."
Banks have been tried in every form; they have
been trusted a hundred times, and whether it has
been on the frail tenure of honor, specie where
with to redeem, or the protection of individual lia
bility failure has been the invariable result.
And as the only relief we ore told that this system
of such prolific corruption that it had spurned th
bounds of all law; that the master sin of hu
manity the love of wealth let loose to work its
will, will at once become law-abiding, and banks
will no longer breok to profit by the fraud ! Tho
days of shin-plasters, when every groggery,"cake
stall, and harber-shop manufactured excellent
currency was independent banking in miniature,
and exemplified what would he the consequence if
men were allowed, with little or no check, to
trifle with the currency. The only true ground
on this' question is a strict adherence to the limit
ations of the constitution, and its currency of
gold and silver.
03- A man by tho name of Nelson Curtis
is imprisoned in our jail, on a charge of ho.
micide. It appears that on Monday, the 25th
Inst, a quarrel occured between Curtis and
a man of the name of Townsetid, a shoema
ker, of Pendleton, in which the latter received
a blow, of which he died yesterday morning.
Intoxication, wo believe, had an important
share in producing this unfortunate result.
Protection to American Literature. Mr. N.
P. Willis in hi, letters from London says, that
undor the prcse"..t system, American literature
must starve. We do not believe this s Bancroft,
and Channing, Irving, Cooper," Longfellow, and
native writers in every field of literature, have
receiid support eq ual to that given to foreigners.
But the novel-writing, nonsense-vending class
like Willis, who write about Queens and dancers,
and retail second hand aristocracy in a style only
nown as American by its being more absurd-. '
than would ever be attempted by a genuine ori
ginalthis kind needs protection, as it never can
lie eminently successful among sensible or right
thinking -Republicans. But when the genius
arises, as doubtless some day he will, who (hall
