Night and day, he was either ‘“‘on the go,” or “on the stump.”’ It isdue to him to say that he met every responsibility of his position like a true-hearted man as he is, sus- taining his celebrated Nebraska bill before his own constituents, precisely as he sustained itin his place in the Senate of the United States. His leading point (if we understand him correctly) has been, throughout this can- vass, that the General Government has no ie Cheapest in the Country. Price—Only 81.25 Per Annum. One of The WeexLy Star is printed on a handsome double sheet, and contains more reliable information concerning what goes on in Washington, than is to be found in all the other newspapers. Its Washington news is of the earliest and most reliable character, being sel- dom at fault. It has already given the Daily Star a wide reputation as the most reliable newspaper at the Capitol. In addition to its Washington News, the Wesgty Srar will contain original and choice selections of Tales and Poetry, the latest and most interesting News from Europe and all parts of the United States, by telegraph and otherwise, &., &c., making it one of the best family news- papers published. All orders, postage paid, accompanied by the money, will spa Sapancara to. Fractions of a dollar can sent in postage stamps. No order will be at- tended to unless accompanied by the moner.

We commend him to cheerfully accorded. the kind attention of our friends. General Cass, too, has fairly earned the grati- tude of all the South in this short canvass, notwithstanding the misrepresentations of his Positions made by a handful of Southern news- papers of both parties, afflicted, as all the world knows, with a chronic disinclination to him and all he says and does. His speech and conduct at Chicago recently, show him to the world, for the hundredth time, as the de- fender of all the rights of all sections of the confederacy, willing to sacrifice himself at bome, if necessary, in the discharge of that great public duty of the statesman who has come to belong to the country at large, rather than to a State or section. While we do not agree with the General’s views of the rights of Squatters, we, nevertheless, fully appreci- ate the patriotism on which those views are founded, so manifest in his determined oppo- sition to an interference on the part of the General Government in the domestic institu- tions of the United States Territories. That he does not advocate ‘squatter sovereignty’’ as a imeans of indirectly doing against the South that which he admits cannot be done by the Federal Government either justly or le- gally, all know who are familiar with the de- tails of his public history. Nor is he an aa- yooate for any action on the part of the set- uers in Yerritories which shall directly or in- directly prevent the southern portion of the confederacy from enjoying all their constitu. tional or legal rights there. In the whole course of bis long Senatorial career, General Cass has never, by word or deed, given the South the least reason to believe that ho has been actuated by a disposition in any way to strengthen his own section at her expense. It is but simple justice to judge such public men as Cass and Duuglas by their whole course in public life, their record being long, plain and full of incidents on which satisfactory opin- ions may properly be based. They should not be judged by partisan reports of their speech- es to miscellaneous crowds. We know from our knowledge of the newspaper business, that a sketch of a stump speech is rarely published. which is not reported with bias one way or the other. We, therefore, place the least possible reliance upon such things. The Trial in Lowell.—Having heard sur- Prise expressed at the action of the Judge in the Lowell rape cage, in permitting the witnesa —Swan—torefuse to answer questicns with re- ference to oceurrences in a Know Nothing lodge, on the ground that his “fear of punish- ment” justified his refusal, we have to say in explanation, that the laws of Massachusetts make the taking of an illegal oath punisha- ble as acrime; and that the oath which the witness had taken, as explained by himself, bade fair to bring him under the penalty of statute. The witness evidently meant that he dreaded punishment from the lodge; though his explanation of his reagon for refusing to reply to certain of the questions put to hiua by the defendant’s counsel was so couched, as to compel the Judge to excuse him from answer- ing, on the ground that, otherwise, he might be compelled to criminate himself under the statute of the State.

The Intelligencer saya of the Reciprocity Treaty : ‘We are gratified to learn that the Proy- inces of Canada and New Brunswick having affirmed the Reciprocity Ireaty by legislative enactment, and made the necessary orders for carrying it into effect, our Executive has very promptly signified bis willingness to admit the produce of those Provinces into the United States on the same terms as have been extended to colonial fish; thus greatly facili- tating trade, and adding to the good feeling which now exists between the two countries. The colony of Prince Edward Island will no doubt be admitted to this alrangement as goon as the necessary official information is received from that quarter, its Legislature having met and passed the requisite enactment. Nova Scotia alone does uot avail itself ot this ar- rangement, its Government still neglecting to take any movement respecting the Treaty. As an evidence of praiseworthy dispatch on both sides in giving effect, as far as possible under existing ci-cumstances, to the Treaty, we may mention that the Legislature of New Brunswick passed the necessary act last Fri- day evening. and, through telegraph and the rapid movement of official agenta, oficial in- formation of the act was received in W-sh- ington yesterday morning by the British Min ister, and by three o’elock the business was arranged by our Government with him.” The Union, discussing religion and Politics, says: “There is nothing, we believe, in the doc trines of Christianity, as revealed to us by the inspired writers, at al! incompatible with the exercise of the inestimable privilege of the elective franchise. We regard its exercise not merely as a privilege, but as aduty which should alike be fully and freely discharged by the clergy as weil as by the laity. But when we see our pulpits converted into politi- cal rostrums—when the teachings of the lowly and peace-loving Saviour are set azide for the inflammatory haravgues of persecuting per- sons—and when the ballot-box, through the agency of secret political societies, is made an engire for the worst species of tyranny, op- | aap and ostraciem, we may well trembie ‘or the safety and perpetuity of our free in- stitutions. All history teacues us that when religion becomes a potent element in the strife of politics, the liberties of the people are placed in imminent peril. It matters not whether the Protestants or the Catholics were the established party in the State, the result has ever been the same. Take away the Church of England from Victoria, and the Koman hierarchy from Louis Napoleon, and it is a question of considerable uate as to the duration of the power of either sovereign. (Of all professions in the community—physicians not excepted—clergymen exercisa the most powerful influence, be it for good or for evil. As a general rule. their strictly moral lives, their high intellectual gifts, and their rare powers of persuasion, coupled with their call- ing, Which demands on untiring devotion to the temporal and eternal welfare of their fei- jow-men, inspire a confidence and beget an sflection the extent of whieh cannot easily be eazaggerated. Aware of this feeling, and of the all-pervading isfluence growing out of it, the founders of our republic ingrafted upon our institutiens a spirit of religious toleration which they fondly believed would forever prevent sectarian interference, assumption, and persecution. With one or two trifling ex- ceptions, the party polities of this country have been free from the curse of religious in- terference, bigotry, and persecution until the year 1854.” The Sentinel reviews the important fea- tures of this day—the election day of five States of the American Union. The Health We perceive from the Baltimore Patriot that that city’s health report for the last week shows but &6 deaths, out of a population of about 225,000, we believe. This proves that on the whole, that city is remarkably free from sickness. We have to say to the Patriot, that what we published not long since con- cerning the presence of yellow fever in Balti- more, was derived from official reports, of the existence of which we managed to obtain in- formation. We know that it was reported of- ficially that 60 deaths had occurred in the vi- cinity of the receiving ship, ‘from yellow fe- ver,” and that the surgeon, on that account, advised the closing of the rendezvous, tempo- rarily. Our friend of the Patriot will per- ceive, therefore, thet our warrant for our statement in the matter could not possibly have been better. Extreme Llness of the Venerable Widow of Alexander Hamilton.—We regret to have to announce the extreme illness of the beloved and venerable lady, Mrs. Hamilton, being now in her ninety-seventh year. It is hardly possible that she can survive this severe at- tack. It will be remembered that she is the daughter of the distinguished Major General Schuyler of the Revolutionary War.-- The Register of the Treasury.—The Hon. Finley Bigger, having left Washington city to give testimony in a slave trade case, now being tried in the United States Court, at New York, Charles T. Jones, Eeq., Chief Clerk of the bureau, has been appointed Register pro. tem. until the return of Mr. B. The President of the United States, we are happy to be able to say, has entirely recovered from his late indisposition.

Star to the following expose, found in the New York Express of last evening : The recent breaking up of the Merchants’ Exchange Bank of Anacosta; D. C., has in- duced us to make some inquiries relative to the other banks of the district The facts thus far at our disposal we now present to our readers. They refer more p: larly to the Manufacturers Bank of Georgetown, D. C., against the ekcoulation of which our readers are eautioned. This bank was established by an insurance agent of this city, and the notes were aved ae printed by Messrs. Well- stood, Hanks & Co. . The Insurance agent referred to, did not however, circulate any of thi rious issue, but sold his interest in the and notes already printed, to one Franklin Mead, then of this city and late of Massachusetts, for the sum of five hundred dollars, and he without making any considerable issue of those shin plasters, re-sold to one Atis Osgood, of Dra- out, Mass., who being a speculator, circulated the following amount in various States: in New Hampabire $350, in Massachusetts about $1,000, in New York about $500, making an aggregate of nearly $2,000. His known speo- ulative humor now acted upon him and his roject, to the complete destruction of his Panking operations ; his friends, however, Te- deemed the entire amount of outstanding lia- bilities of the bank. The plates and bills of the bank then, in February last, passed into the hands of Al- fred Hyde, now also connected with the bank, which has induced this inquiry. His first business was a trip to Washington, where, we understand, a sign was painted and affixed to the door of the store of a jeweler of that city, or Georgetown, with the understanding that that firm should redeem any of the notes that should be presented there. The bills were then circulated through the recommendation of the different Bank Reporters, in largesums, which thus far, we believe, have been duly re- deemed in this city. How long it will ocon- tinue 80 to be, is an unsolved problem. E” George Sanders, the ex-Consul, gives to the world the following: Victor Hugo to George N.

Editors of the Star : The movements of the City Councils in relation to the license law have created more excitement than any other act that has ever emanated from that body. Feelings of disgust, so deep rooted, have taken hold of the public mind, that the voters will, at the June election, regardless of party pre- delictions, hurl from the Councils every person now having a seat in that body who voted in favor of the measures lately brougat before them touching the liquor traffic. Well may the citizens complain of the acts of their representatives, when they have spent week after week legislating upon matters in which they have far transcended the powers vested in them by thecity charter. After all the time consumed upon the license question, what has been accomplishei? Simply an in- crease upon the grocer’s license of three hun- dred per cent—a business legally conducted, by men against whom public opinion has never been directed. Ask members what powers are vested in the corporation relative to the license aystem, and you will find very many of them unable or unwilling to answer the question They will probably tell you that Mr. May reported a bill declaring that the city authorities pos- sessed the power to prohibit the sale of liquors in this city; which was not the case. The re- port of Mr. May was a mere maneuver to evade direst legislation upon that subject. The acts passed by the Councils upon the sub ject are so mystified that no two members of them will agree to the same interpretation of them. Consequently, the whole of their | lative acts in thts connection had to be referred to the Mayor, to have placed upon them such aconstruction as he conceived to be correct and in accordance with the city charter; which construction the members are unwilling to sanction, each one construing the law to suit his own views. Whathas been done by the Councils under the Mayor’s construction of the laws just enacted ? They have passed an ordinance prohibiting tippling houses, in refusing them a license. By that act the Corporation has accomplished nothing but a loss of revenue. Persons who have heretofore been conducting such a busi- ness, will apply for license for ordinaries, which cannet be refused by the Corporation. If refused, they will conduct their business under that head, without being liable to fine andimprovement. Taverns and ordinaries are to be licensed under the old system barring the privilege to sell liquors; so that taverns are to be taxed for the privilege of feeding and lodging strangers. Upon that principle all boarding-house keepers must come under the same category. The proprietors of taverns will continue, as they conceive they have the ‘ight to do, to dispose of their liquor as here- tofore, which will create litigation, termina- ting in the Corporstion’s having to foot the bill of cost; they being compelled, by the charter, to grant license to taverns. As has been stated; the grocers, whose licenses are about expiring, are the only sufferers, by the bungling legislation of the Council. Whether the Councils will oppress one class of our fel- low citizens whose business is the least objec- tionable, so far as liquor is concerned, to the exclusion of others, will be seen by their fu- ture legislation. In order that the citizens may know what the powers confered upon Corporation by the Government in the city charter are, I annex every section from the charter touching that subject, which is very short and capltets) and ‘in full force.
