The Richmond En-quirtr has learned with sorrow and alarm, that three of tho Locofoco members of Congress from Virginia, from Scott, Fauquier and Acomao districts, "publicly and habitually avow a determination not to support tho nominees of the Staunton Convention." It docs not presurao to deny the correctness of this report, but proceeds to sound the alarm, and threaten tho terrors of martial law to nil delinquents. It foresees (he " hopeless overthrow of our party, and the ascendancy of Whig measures aud Whig policy." No man can bo recognized as a Democrat who now falters, who declines to go forth and do battle for Wish. Tho party will not tolerate inaction, or indifference. Every man mutt rally to the rescue, or submit to tho penally of dehku- TIOH Or ArOSTACV." It mounts tho conlcssional and says: " At no period of its history has the Democratic party of Virginia been confronted by a more formidable foe than that which now menaces it with do-feat and utter annihilation.'' Such is the sad prospect In Virginia, the 1ait hope of the beaten and crushed slave Democracy of the North. The day of retribution lia surely come. Illinois Sknatur.--TI)o Springfield correspondent of tho St. Louis Democrat, under date ot 10th Inst, gives the following explanation of tbo state of things in the Illinois Legislature: Tho only topic that creates much interest here nt present is in regard to the If. S. Senator. Tho Democrats held a meeting lust night to talk tbe matter over, but adjourned without coming to any definite conclusion as In what H117 had better do. General Shield will get tbe largest voto on the flirt ballot, but I think ho will lull several votes short of enough to give him the nomination, besides General Shields, there are several candidates in tho Held on thoAnti-Nebraska side of the question. Among the latter I hear the name of Hon. L. Trumbull, lion. Win. H. Underwood, Judge Brecse, and others mentioned. If I am not greatly mistnkcu in tho "ngniofthe timn" Ilia Legislature will adjourn without electing any boil y lo 1111 General Shields' place. At present there seems not tu be tbe remotest probability that the two divisions of tbe Democratic party can coalesce during tho present se&ion, if ever. P. 8. The Legislature have decided to go Into an election on the 31 M inwt. ill0 VOLUME XLV. COLUMBUS, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1855. NUMBER 24 Dherrantxatron of the Dr Borracy Id Hamilton County Pugh deuounccd Tbo Lnqulrcr repudiated The unterrilied men ol tbe 3d Ward in Cincinnati, held their indignation meeting, on Saturday night. John B. Krouth, one of the members of tho Legislature, was called to tbe chair, The committee on Resolutions was composed of old Democrats of character and standing. Myers, being called upon, related the circumstances connected with bis rejection as Delegate, by the other delegates from that county, In the convention of tho 8th. He raked Pugh, Wash. M'Lcan, aud the Miainis, fore and aft. Three of the delegates only, Senator Converse, Representative Langdon, and Mr. Fels, all from the country, stood by him. A largo number of the wards and townships were unrepresented. Myers closed bis speech with tbe following broadside : " Whero now Is the Democratic organization! Mr. Pugh, the first to sell the Democratic purty lo the Free Suilers, cares no more fur tbe Democracy, but having secured bis place, is now in wut d meetings endeavoring to secure spoils (or his associates. He and Mr. Robinson found the party in the Hood tide of success ; now It is high aud dry, stranded." A committee composed of Myers, J. J. For an, Krauth, Buttermiller and Smith, was appointed " to let, the Democratic parly of the State know of tho disorganisation consequent upon the corruption of office seekers, here Id the party." This is lo embrace " a history of tho Miami tribe, and Its pauper adherents." Wo append a few of the resolutions. Itetolerd, That the Democracy of Ihe Third Ward have not and will not submit their orthodoxy to a council composed of money changers and political paupers, whoxe highest ambition is an oillce, or a slice of political patronage, Knotted, That the part taken bv George K. Pugh, Kenator elect from Ohio, in iho ejection of Mr. Myers from tha delegation, proves lha Insincerity of his assertions of the doctrino of " Popular SoBtreinly," which ho seems to think operative when it enslaves freo territory, but inoperative when It gives expression to the will of freemen and Democrats. We question, on good grounds, Ilia Democracy of Mr. Pugh, and in good time will make It manifest. Resolved, That we say to tho broker, who spoke so insolently of our Democracy at Columbus, aud who holds the position of Chairman of the County Executive Committee, In the language of our delegato : " You are the ' Manchester ' of our County Democracy. One year ago you commenced your career with a majority of 4.000, oHd now a deficiency of political assets of 8,000, which is about a five per cent. Manchester dividend." Resolved, That we recognlzod In the so called Democratic Delegation from Hamilton County, who passed upon our Democracy and that of our Delegate, newly converted Wlngn, paupers from our party asylum, and renegades from Ihe Know Nothing organization, and but few ever deserved tho title of Democrat. These popinjays of oillce have grown insolent, and threaten the hand that has fed them for years. HuWe said, upon what wo tlxujgbl good authority, that tho executive of Miami county, bos for years, been uuder tho Influence of tho Locofocos. This has arisen from tho well known and bitter quarrel between Troy and Plqua. By taking advantage of El, that party has bcoti able, almost every year, to defeat the regular Whig ticket, and to elect its own nominees. A prominent Democrat of that county boasted in this city of the fact that, by this quarrel among the Whigs, they bad been able to control its ofliccs, and its affuirs. Ttio name of ibis gentleman we do nut choose to publish, but it is at (ho disposal of tho editors of tho Statesman. Wc make this statement in vindication of what we published on (his subject a short time since. The Statesman now says we were mistaken. Il farther accuses us of saying tbut Miami is a Locofoco county. This is not true. We said nothing of (he kind, but distinctly showed tho caiifcs which threw tho county ofliccs into the control of (bat parly. Possibly wo may bo mistaken, and possibly tho Miami county Locofoco to whom we refer, may have been mistaken. If so. we shall cheerfully correct the error. We call upon our friend of the 1'iqua Register to give us Ihe facts. The Issue, ft is true, Is not very material. So long ae Hamilton county, with lu Locofoco misrule, is rcmemliercd, ft will be of little avail for Ihe Statesman to charge that extravagance is exclusively an evil of Whig parentage.

Tbe Indianapolis Journal, of whoso good opinion we are duly sensible, is. disposed to, differ somewhat from a tew remarks made by us In reference to turn reported autobiography. The subject has already attracted perhaps more attention than Its intrinsic Importance demands. And yet it Is but right that It should bo viewed from all points, whether favorable or unfavorable. Our contemporary starts with one decidedly wrong impression. Fanny was n of "impelled to labo;- from spite." A stern and sad necessity-want, absolute want drove her to tho pen. The little that she made was wruug from mer cenary prints, at starvation prices. Even when weekly acknowledging their great indebtedness to her wonderful tact, they doled out tho dollar with a fawning thrift, which hardly supplied tho poor recipient with the necessaries of Hie for herself and her children. The strugglo, for n long tlmo, seemed duubliul. No kind word of encouragement from him who should have pro tected her, or from the brother, who absolutely added Insult to wrong. 'flic tables wuro finally turned -Funny was triumphant. The very first persons appearing lu tho foivgronud. were the partiesabove-mentioned, who, as we are Informed, boasted of the abslstanco they had extended to tho accomplished authoress, and talked with a Christian and patronising air of their relationship. The publishers, also, were not slow In vauuiing of their liberal payments. All this was a little too much for Fanny loo much, alas, for human uaturu generally. To be sure, it is very well to return good for evil if your neighbor takes your coat to proffer him your vesl, if It U worth having but it is hard to reduco it to practice. As remarked In our pre vious notice, wo doubted Funny's angelic propensities. In sober truth she was grievously wronged, wronged from childhood, and tho bolter feelings of her nature wero severely tried. There are points beyond which endurance censes to lie a virtue, A lady, who was a schoolmate of Fanny's, and who knew her well, Informed the writer that she accompanied her home on tho first va cation with her friends. In the hurry of alight ing and securing bagguge, Funny was missed. As t-ho emerged from the gateway, sho was found in tears, wbitcring to our Informant she could not resist the temptutiou of liuviug "a good crying spell." She never hud been absent before, and her heart t-till yearned lor home. It lutut have been sud Uvage, Indeed, that would embitter such a spirit. If the forgets, loo often, ties so hacred, let it be hoped, at least, no child before ever bud such a parent; certainly, no sifter such a brother. Christ him self hurled bin anathemas agniuit the canting hypocrites, and If humunily hud ever become so degraded in (hut era an to produce an " Hyacinth," It would have invoked still more pointedly the Divine displeasure. k Daguerreotype by ail Artist Cunningham, the editor of the Peoples' Press, al Lima, Allen county, Is making an excellent paper. A Democrat, he Is at the tamo time, bold and fearless in defence of the right. He could not bo induced to enlist in (he Nebraska scheme of (be .Slave Democracy. He cannot now fauction the acts of these men. Intimately acquainted with the lending politicians of the Northwest, aud of tho means employed by them to control the political movements of that re gion, he s just tha man lu give the world a glitupw behind the curtain. In commenting upon the nominations of the sib of January Convention, tho editor of the Press thus sketches the character of Mr. Stkbii- m an, who was re-nomliiuted for the Board of Public Works : " Myers nnd Sleedtnati are both frvm the same ui'"f'--Lucus.

He, ov all others, is responsible for the breaking up ol Failkd Aoain. The Washington correspond ent of the N. Y. Tribune announces the failure of another contemplated filibustering expedition against Cuba. U was to bo under the leadership of Gen. Quitman, aud was to be ready to sail by the 1st of January. The expedition had tbe promise of at least half a million of dollars from Cuba, hut only about fifty thousand dollars have been received. Tho Cubans begin to think they are humbugged, and declare thoy will not send over another dime, till they know, belter than they do now, what Is done with their money. It is confidently hoped that Col. Kiknuy can be induced to turn his forces from tho idle dream of cultivating tho Mosquito lands, to the fancy project of conquering Cuba. On the whole, tho prospect of success to (bo filibusters Is becom ing beautifully less. We can't say we feel bad at their calamity. They lack tbe bold daring of the Ducannoers of tbo past century, but they have all their thirst for gold, and their lesser vices la-full vigor. What a comment they pre sent upon tbe boasted Intelligence aud virtue of these Uulted States, In this noon of the nine teenth century 1 IuroitTiNT Decision-. The Superior Court o Cincinnati have mode a decision under the tax law, of which wo find the following nclice In the Commercial : In the case of (he Commercial Bank against Henry Bowman, Treasurer of Hamilton county, Judge Spencer, of the Superior Court, delivered an opinion this morning, pronounced by all who heard It, most able and conclusive, allowing an injunction against the collection of tbo lax demanded by the Treasurer. It was uoMen.JirsJ-- That the tax being In the manner in which It was asxewed, in violation of the charter of the bunk, wan illegal that as the decision of the Supreme Court or Ohio, that a bank charter is not a contract, had been overruled by tho Supreme Court of tbe United States, tho latter became the law, which a proper respect for the government of the country and tho peace of society, demanded should be observed, Secondly; That according to the rule, laid down in Iho case of the V. S. Bank vs. Oslwm, tho proper remedy lu the case is byinjunction. 'That a Guard would embezzle a half doaeu puir of shoes?" "That two ollWcrs unacr our aiimiiusiration embezzled a few pair of shoes Ibr their fumilies?" In the two brief sentences quoted above, wo have the lato Warden of Ihe Penitentiary's estimate of the abuses that crept into the Penitentiary uuder his administration I Very well. 'Vf few pair of shoes far their fumilies!" Let us see. Here follows, a list of tho articles found lu officer King's bousn in Columbus on his arrest, nit Identified as belonging to the State of Ohio, to wit: 10 Rolls Upper Leather, 1 Red Morocco Skiu, 2 Rolls Sheep Skins, 8 Rolls Hoot uppers, 7 Pairs Boots, ready made, 12 Pairs Shoes, ready made, 2 Jack Planes, 1 Bolt of Webbing, tLot of black Linen Thread, 12 Spools or Cotton Thrcud, 11 Papers of Hhoe Nail!, 11) Skeins or Worsted Carpet Yarns, pounds or Shoe Thread, 1 bunch of White Patent Thread, 1 black Woolen Box Coat, 1 pair of black cloth Pants, 1 new Vest, 1 puir of Cotton Drawer, 1 large Bolt of Slriped Ticking.

Donophau had gained Iwo or three votes, hut j there seemed no prospect of an election. Tho 40 Beiilonlnns stood firm, and it was clear that 1 as long as Benton wa a caudidatc Iho only hope ! of an election lay In the possibility of a bargain between tbe Nebraska Whigs and Iho Atchison men. Tbe Si. Louis Democrat charges that such a coalition Is on foot, by which Ale bison Is to bo returned to the Senate In consideration of the public printing given to the other side of the house. And ft is urged with some plausibility that, as tbe Atchison men gave the Whigs Mr. Geyer in a former occasion, it is no more than right that they should now reciprocate. Tho friends of Freedom have very little tu hope from either section. They are all Pro-Slarery, aud all opposed lo the restoration of the compromise line. We are indiiWent therefore as to the result, and care not whether the Legislature elects this year or next ; only wc should be sorry to sec (ho question disputed of by a corrupt bargain for the fpolls. I' cells' u An road. An old Whig of Kentucky, being in this Stale on the tHh of January, and witnessing Ihe movements of the " Democracy" In their attempts to arouse the old feeling of the party aud to cull up tbe old Issues, gave vent to Uia opinions in a well written Idler tu us. Our friend nuralwrs more than three score years; but his letter was so long delayed In coming lo hand that tbe Interest of the occadon has mostly passed away. Wc regret Ibis, for the writer in handling Ohio LocofocoiHii makes some good hits. Of Kentucky ho says, " In August, M, our State will seal the doom of this coalition ol foreign and native demagogues, Jacobins and JosulU." In the case of Onnsbr, for shooting young Jennings, tho Grand Jury yesterday refund lo i find a IkII. This Is as we expected. Cincinnati Enquirer, Jan. 17. Why was this expected ? Was it not clearly established that Ornv-by shot Jounlng? Is that a legal act In Cincinnati, of which tbe jury have uo cognisance T We are no apologists for Jennings. Whether guilty of seducing Ormshy's wife, or of foolishly bowling of it, to make a hero of himself w ith his fat young friendj, his aoU wen extiemcly reprehensible. But, tiik law does not recoguizo tbe right of the husbnnd to take vengeance into his own bands. It is dangerous to entrust this power to the injured parly. It is subversive of well established and wisely conceived law. It should not be encouraged hi a law-rcspectlug, and law-abiding community. It Is doubly dangerous when a grand jury, sworn to Inquire Into the oll'euces against the law, ahull shut their eyes to notori ous I acts, and Ignore tlm existence of palpable crime, because there is sympathy for the crimi nal. Will It not bo well cue 11 3 h for Iho people of Ohio to think of thew things before the evil Is beyond remedy T. Are wo not tending, quite fast enough, to a relaxation of the restraints Imposed by the laws of the land T Two or three villains, out of business, and desirous of malting a raise, entered into an arranging n I to bleed the Railroad Companies. Soliiey traveled lo aud fro, over the State, kept acloso walch at tho ticket ofliccs, and, w hen they saw bill of a less denomination than $VKJ passed or could pas.i one to iho ofllco themselves, they made a nolo ol it. Alter a lew months, they sprung their (rap, ami judgments to tho amount of seventy thousand dollars wero procured against the roads. It was such a palpable case ot conspiracy that they were indicted, and sent to the penitentiary. The Legislature hns passed a bill for the relief of the roads, but the Governor ha vetoed It, and tho probabilities are that the lines must be paid. ttGeu. Wool has written a long letter in dufeuco of his conduct while In California, which has been published In tho N. Y. Evening Post, In Its comments upon it that paper says: 'Gen.

Iheso depredations were brought to light. He was in communication with mine of the officers of Ibu Prieon who served under his administration. And will he presume lo say that bo had knowledge of depredations only lo the extent of "a few pairs of p hoes for their families?" And, we repent, if he had knowledge of the full extent of these depredations, as we be lieve ho had, how daro he attempt to mislead the public T What Is to be inferred from such a course ?

He seems to have taken off Iho veil, and to have revealed and acknowledged himself, in a lecture before an Intelligent audience, as the Prince of Humbues. He Is. then, our first hero of royal degree. In this capacity he is received with general acclamation. What had hitherto been regarded as the lowest of Vying aud cheating, is wit and wisdom In one so gilded with success. This, indeed, reaches lo the true heroic pitch. Let the statue rise, iho halcyon gardens of Iranlstan.

Among JX"' men s sons wnn arc unsoie or unwilling to live passes Ib rolling but by no means moun tainous, uor even very billy. What is not cleared Is covered with spruce and white pins of a very small growth. I don't think I saw a tree much over six inches in diameter In the whole sixty miles. The villages we passed were Free-port, Brnnswick, Richmond, Gardner, and Hallo-woll. Tbe first threo are very much alike, made up of frame white buildings, with green blinds, scattered about here and there as tbe streets or highways happened to be laid out. You see no towns In New England, like our Western ones. made; towns in New England grew, they never were made. Tho mathematician and surveyor made towns, but a New England Tillage shows no evidence of the existence of any such craft as (he surveyor. Hence the streets are just where the present convenience required them, without any regard to mathematical symmetry. I can't Bay but that In a picturesque point of view, a New England village, scattered as It may bo among its shade trees, is superior lo one of our mathematical towns out West, laid out by-the square rule, fa mathematical symmetry, reckless even of Ihe capacities of the ground, and built up with long walls of brick. Our towns realize the Ideas of tbe utilitarian; theirs of the artist. Richmond looked like a busy town, given up to lumbering and ship-building. At Gardner we came upon the Kcnnebcck river, which Ib open to eloop-navigatiou as high upas Augusta. The river runs rather in a gorge, tbe hills, though not high, come down near to the river bank. The Railroad runs up between the bonk of the river aud tho bill. Tbe river was frozen over, while numerous pine logs were imprisoned in it. I .saw persons engaged in cutting thsm out In several places, and teams in hauling them down over tho ice. There is not much to be seen until you reach Uallowell, which lies soino two miles below and In tight of Augusta. Tbe town is built of wood, aud lies In between the foot of tbe bill and the river. It has some thousands of population. Augusta alio lies under a hill, pressed in be tween it and the river. As space la here scant, the bouses are crowded very closely together, and the whole present a busy aspect. After as cending tbe top of tho river hill, the ground ipreads out Into a rather rolling surface, where are found the public buildings, and th residen ces of those who live upon oeurnnccs. There are here some pretty places, so far as my hasty mrrey permitted me lo observe. Tbe State House is one emphatically of soma pretentious. From a distance, its pillsrtd frout and swelling dome give promise of what is not realized on a closer inspection. The front is well enough, if it ouly bud a building attached lo it. This. I suppose, is hereafter to beaccomplished. I was amused while at Augusta, and while reading the State papers. The Legislature was In session, and bad been engaged in Oiling certain offices; and in every case I found that tho Republican candidate was elected. What this word meant up here in Maine I did not exactly know, unless in tbe over turnings of last autumn, the old party of our venerable friend Galea, of the National Intelligencer, hod been waked up from a Rip Van Winkle sleep of a fourtlijjif century, i fauclcd, if it was so, our venerable friend would feel tbo current of life renewed, and fancy he had been asleep for the lasttwenty-five years or in a dream, and now, like Tennyson's King and Lords, had but just awaked from an after dinner nap, taken during Ibo days of Monroe. But so it U; nobody gets elected here but REtttiuCisa. But you must not be overcu-rlous tu to the antecedents of these now Republicans: this party, if you are, w ill surely appear ' of many colors. But It haa one strong Dkwo-uutic feature in its favor; it has tho people on its side; nay, it rests dlredly upon the so-callsd masses. But tho old Democratic leaders are wholly excluded, and are seen going round with rueful countenances, like one detected la dishonesty. This Republican party Is very barmo ulons; and from all quarters I beard expressions of admiration at the harmony which prevailed )t Augusta. This new party considers the conn-try disgraced, as oue expressed it to me, that one Franklin Pierce of Ncw-llampthlre, should be the foremost man In all this our broad realm. Portland must bo a very pretty town in the summer, when the foliago covers the numerous alms which line its broad street. The town lies up on a peninsula, almost encircled by tha bay. which forms its capacious harbor; a harbor so near the ocean that two miles ouly separata the one from tho other. Tbe ground rise at each end of this peninsula, with a lower rising bwcII which connects tbo two t trcmcs. The grounds slope ends-way, in front towards the harbor and wharves, and in Ibe rear town au arm of tho bay, which runs iu behind the town. The business part of the city lies near (he har. bor and on tbe harbor slope of tbe low swell, between tbe bills at tho extremes. Tbe new part of tbe town it on thu western hill, and, with its flue buildings and long runs of elms, presents a very pleasing aspect even in wluter. In sum mer it must present a more than pleasing aspect. Portland Is or bu been growing ot late. It 1 the termiuation of Ibe Grand Trunk Railroad of Canada, which Is to run hence through Montreal lo Huron. This part of the road was built by a Maine company, who leased (heir road to a Canadian company for niocty-nlne yean; il company agreeing to pay all debts against the road, and six per cent, on ihe stock paid in. The Canada company are putting tho road tn oxccllent order, aud preparing to make It tbo great mean of communication between England and Canada. Already a Hue of Propellers has been put on between Portland and Liverpool, io connection with the road. Tho reciprocity treaty adds still more lo (be value of Ihis rood, since for IU purposes Canada and Maine aro but one country; and the communication over it will be as free as bt in-een any tw 0 States, without any town like Erie, to obstruct ibe demands of commerce, and ngot gam! the laws or Providence.This Canada Company now own a long lins of ground in front of the hartror, where they Gilts for 1 are ercttlng wharves and all the other conven ience! for a vaot commerce. Portland must, therefore, become a largo commercial town, and tbo commercial metropolis of the Slate of Maiue. There is located here a large establishment engaged In making an inferior artlclu uf sugar out of West India molasses. Be?ido Ihis, I saw 110 signs of mauufaclures. Tho principle business is ship-building and thu lumber trade. There is shipped from this port largo quaulltle uf boards and staves the Inmrds all prepared lo be milled together into a box for white Havana sugar, and tbe staves to l se t up into barrels for the reception of molasses. The ship-building iu Maine is al present in a most depressed condition. The vatt unnatural commerce of tbe last twu or three years, forced luto existence by improvident legialatiou In tha United Stales, and by a failure of crops In Europe, did, for the time, raise freights to a very high rale, and rendered tho shipping interest very prosperous; and those in II made large sums. This has, however, stimulated sblp-bullding to au unprecedented extent. Last year more vctweli were built thau ever; and now In tho commercial revulsions that havo come over tbo country, aud in the failuro of crops here, with fair ones In Europe, freights hare fallen off enormously, and vessels just built, partly fur cash and partly on credit, will uot bring enough towipt out the credit obtained. New vessels, I am told, costing over IdO.OOO, have been Bold for $05,000 or leas. In this unnatural slate of things, growing out of a legislation which compels ua to have our workshops in Europe, while we feed Ihe labor-era on Hour raised iu the Ohio valley, there has been, and must ever be, a constant fluctuation in trade, w be a1 by no one can calculate the horiscope ol the luture, and all our bt sl iuter- gat must be tbo sport of blii d contingencies. Ouce It was considered unconstitutional to foster tho shipping iuterect, and embargoes were ' then resorted to ; now, free-trade and a largi foreign commerce Is Ihe pet theory of modern economists aud politicians. - A country which relies mainly upon itself lor all tho wants of social life, can alone experience anything like lability io its business relations.
