of Hamilton county-FOR BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS, ALEXANDER G. C0N0VER, of Auglaize county. Locofoce Platform for 1850. The fallowing resolutions wm adopted at th Democratic Convention, mhieh awmbfed Columbus, on the 4th of Jnlr, 185a Let the PEOPLE OF OHIO ad aho umuiii THKM ResoWed. That with reference to the cur rent; question, the Democracy of Ohio plaota itself upon the Constitution of the United State.

The currency fixed by that instrument we desire to restore and establish, and we win use all legal and honorable means to accomplish this object; and being sincerely apposed to the existence of banks for the circulation of paper money, we are utterly opposed to any feature being incorporated into the new Constitution, by which the Letislature of Ohio would have the power to create any bank for the circulation of paper money. Resolved. That we consider it tbe duty of all eur publie officers, after taking the oath to support the Constitution of the United States, to make all payments, in their official capacity, in constitutional currency, instead of paper money; and that we especially demand tram the Board of Public Works, thit tbey convert aH paper money which may come under their control into specie, and in that shape disburse it. Resolred, That banks of circulation are bos-tile alike to the equal rights of the people, and the principles of sound political economy that hard money is toe only currency recognized by the Constitution, the only currency that detrauds do man, the only currency that is expedient and just; and we bold it to be inconsistent with the principles of the party for democrats to participate in creating or upholding banking institutions. Hard Money Report of the Currency Committee In the Constitutional Convention, In the Constitutional Convention, July 5th.

Sic 1. The General Assembly shall bare no power to create any bank or banking institution whatever, or to authorize the making, emission nr putting tn circulation of any bill of credit, bond, cbeck, ticket, certificate, promissory note, or other paper medium, intended to circulate as money or currency. Sec. 2. The General Assembly shall prohibit by law an person or persons, association, company or corporation, now in existence, from exercising tbe privilege of banking, or creating, emitting or putting in circulation any bank notes, or paper of any description whatever, to circulate as' money or currency.

"Sec. 3. Tbe business of banking and dealing in money sliall be free to all, subject to such restrictions as may be provided by law: but no special privileges or exemptions shall ever Ve granted to those engaged in, or to those who may hereafter be engaged in suca bnsiness; nor shall any person or persons, eith er natural or artificial, ever be allowed to deal in or issue paper money, so railed. JOHN LARWILL, Chairman. Here it is, fellow-citizens Read it Pon der it! Make up your minds, democrats, how many of you are willing to stand on that platform.

From Washington. The defeat of the compromise has not long delayed the settlement, so far as the Senate is concerned, of the several questions involved in that bill. The passage of the bills for the settlement of the Texas boundary, giving a territorial government to New Mexico, and for the admission of California, through the Senate, cannot fail to cause emotions of joy throughout the country. For nearly nine months these have been the only questions that have received the serious considerations of that body" These bills, as finally passed, may not please all we know they do not please the ultras at the South. The bill fixing the boundary of Texas, gives that State ten millions of dollars.

To those who have no faith in the claims of Texas to the territory in dispute, this giving her a portion of that territory with ten millions for taking it, will hardly appear just. But if this shall prove the last chap ter of expense and trouble, which political Abolitionism and Progressive Democracy entailed on us in 1844 by electing. Polk, Texas, and the Mexican war, with a national debt, and a thousand elements of confusion and disunion, all good and faithful friends of the Union will respond a hearty Amen. From the spirit already shown in the House, by the votes and speeches of the rational members, we think these bills will pass that body and receive the signature of the President We see no reason why the House should not act upon them at once. Another Member of the Convention Resigned.

algae. a i A. ij. crown, 01 Ainens, having been appointed to the President Judgeship recently vacated by the resignation of Judge Nye, has resigned his seat in the Constitutional Con vention. Cin.

Gaz. As we have received information from no other source to the above effect, we presume the Gazette is mistaken in' staling that Judge Brown has resigned his seat in the Convention. Another Member of the Convention Resigned. Locofocos in Office. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, speaking of the probable removal of Locofocos by the new cabinet, says of the on cer under the Postmaster General: His first assistant Postmaster Gen- ral is a'Locofoco, with a Locofoco chief clerk.

His third assistant Post master General is a Locofoco, with a Locofoco chief clerk. His second assistant Postmaster General has Locofoco -for his chief clerk; and the chief clerk of the Post Office Depart ment is a Locofoco. Thus stands the account among the chief officers of a single depart ment. From this some opinion may be formed of the rest. Yet the Lo cofoco press howl proscription! pio- scription! Who believes that, were things reversed, these officers would remain? They would not have been allowed to remain twenty-four hours after they had the power to dismiss them.

We believe, with the writer, that these old stagers should give place to Whigs equally worthy and capable. Cholera. In Chicago, the cholera has raged with great violence (or several weeks, but with that single exception the whole lake region has continued very healthy throughout the summer so far. We observe now that four fatal cases of choltia have occurred at Detroit, a few at Milwaukie, and five at Cleveland. We hope this does not indicate that the terrible disease is to prevail in the lake region generally.

Cincinnati. The Board of Health reports the number of interments for the 43 hours ending Thursday noon at 75. Of these 5 were deaths by cholera, and 43 were of children under five years of age. The Gazette says that the first report of the Board of Health this year was made July 1st. From their reports it appears, that up to August 13th, there had been 851 deaths by cholera, and 1180 by other diseases.

The number of deaths by cholera last year, during a period of seven weeks, ending Aug. 6th, was The cholera has almost disappeared from Louisville. There were lour deaths by cholera reported in Co lumbus, last Saturday, and five the day previous. inis disease has prevailed to a considerable extent at Harper's For ry and other points over the moun tains. On the 14th there were three deaths at Harper's Ferry and no new cases.

We hear of no new cases along the river during the last week. It has entirely left Pomeroy; we are informed there have been about thirty deaths from cholera in Pomeroy during the summer. Melancholy Accident. An acci dent of a most melancholy and distressing character occurred on the after noon of the 1 5th instant, at Linfield. involving the lives of fourteen persons, all women and children, most of them connected with the First Chris tian Society of Lynn, went to Linfield on a pic-nic.

The party chose a de lightful spot on the border of a beauti ful pond. About 2 o'clock, a party of 25 went on a large flat-bottomed row boat for an excursion on the pond, and, when about one hundred yards out from shore, the boat capsized and fourteen were drowned. The accident has thrown the community of Linn into the deepest distress. The OAto Cultivator states that the State Agricultural Fair, which was to have been holden on the 11th, 12th and 13th of September next, has been postponed to the 2d, 3d and 4th of October. The reason given for the change in time is on account of the epidemic that has been so prevalent in Cincinnati, and the low stage of water in the Ohio river.

DC7Messrs. Davis, Smith, of Portsmouth, in connection with a Mr. Bell, are about establishing an extensive manufactory of boots and shoes. It is their intention to employ from fifty to one hundred hands.

LOUIS. The health officer at St Louis announces the disappearance of cholera from that city, with the exception of an occasional sporadic case. Quarantine regulations are still rigidly kept up. The first week in August the heat was intolerable in that city the thermome ter standing at 98 degt. in the shade on Thursday week.

The Republican of the 9th says: "The heat was ao intense yesterday during meridian hours, that work of every kind had to be suspend ed on the levee. Quite a number of steamers had to wait until the cool of i the evening before laborers could be obtained to receive or discharge freight" Orlando Brown. The reported death of this gentleman is positively contradicted by the Maysville Eagle, the editor of which says he has heard from Mr. Brown since he reached his residence in Frankfort in his usual health.

Important News from the Plains. We give below a short extract from a letter received from a friend Major binger who is now on bis way to (Jal ifornia. It is dated Fort Laramie, June 23d. The statement it contains in reference to disease being confined to emi grants travelling south of the Platte, will account for the many conflicting reports of sickness on the plains, which have been received during the summer. "Never did I perform any part of a journey, be remarks, a witness to so much disease, suffering and death.

Tbe graves of the dead of last year's emi gration, were to be seen only singly, and at considerable distances apart those of this year are already in clus ters every few miles along on the road trom ort Kearney to near tms place. From here on, the mortality decreases. To what the sickness (cholera morbus) is to be attributed, after considerable inquiry into many cases, I am at a loss to conjecture. As might have been expected in tbe general panic that prevailed, the disease was pronounced Asiatic Cholera. It appears, however, mat it was confined to the South side of the Platte.

The emigrants on the North side only knew of it as they received reports from the south, rjTFThe population of Springfield. by the recent census, is five thousand one hundred and seventeen an increase of about 1000 in one year. to t-asmon, the and as of 1 1 Important from Between British and French Vessels. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.

The Barque urasius uornig ar. rived this morning from Rio Janeiro, whence she sailed on the 9th ult, which is twelve days later than pre vious advices. We learn from passengers that a few da vs previous to their departure, news was received that the British Admiral on the station with the British steamer Cormorant, had en tered the port of Paraguay and burned four Brazilian vessels. The Captain of the Brazilian fort in port, opened a fire upon the steamer and killed one man. It was supposed the Admiral was acting under orders from home, for the suppression of the slave trade.

There was great excitement at Rio in consequence, and it was thought serious dimcnlty would arise between the Brazilian and British governments. Sickness at Rio had nearly subsided. There is no other news of importance. Loss op an Indiaman and a French Gdn Brig. One Hundred Persons Drowned.

Letters have been received at London, from Madras and Martinique, communicating the melancholy intelligence of the loss of an Indiaman, the Sulimary, from Bombay, bound to England, and of the wreck of the French Ke publican war brig L' Agile, 14 guns. both of which were attenied with frightful loss of life. The Sulimary, Indiaman, was riding at anchor off the coast, and encountered, on the 24th of May, a dreadful gale ol wind in the height or which she parted Irom her anchors, and was driven ashore, when the splendid ship spee dily became a complete wreck. An attempt was made to save the pass engers, ol whom there were several, by means of the boats. 1 hey were however, quickly destroyed by the fury of the sea.and upwards of forty, including the Captain, his wife and thirty seamen perished.

Another Indiaman named theGuna, was driv en ashore on the same coast, at the same time and became a wreck. The crew of the vessel was more fortu nate, they were all saved. The loss of both vessels is said to exceed 50,000. The sad calamity to the Agile, happened on the 10th ol June. She was suddenly overtaken in a heavy squall, and almost instantly capsized and went down.

Her crew and officers amounted to sixty men. With the exception of two, every soul met with a watery grave. The Regulators Abroad. On Friday night last a negro man, who had been guilty of horribly maltreating his wife for several days in succession, tell into the hands ol some of the boys about town, who took him to Robert's grove, gagged him, tied him to a tree, and administered a hundred and one lashes with a raw hide, well laid on. He was then released, under a promise that he would leave town within twenty-four hours a promise he faithfully adhered to.

He was lodged in jail the evening previous, tor disorderly conduct, but without any good result, so the lynchers adopted a more summary and effectual means of improving the darkey's morals, and infusing a little conjugal love into his soul. Un the same evening, a man who was married some weeks ago at the Poor House, and who, it is said, has flogged his wife every day since, was tied up to the same tree and had prescribed for him a dose of the same medicine. we hope it has worked a cure, and that these amateur doctois will now relinquish practice.

The exciting topic in the House of Commons continues to be the admission or non-admission of Baron Rothschild to his seat in Parliament.

On Thursday evening the debate was again resumed, but on an intimation from tha Attorney General that he had some definite resolutions to propose, the further discussion was adjourned. In the course of the sitting, he gave notice that he would, on Monday next, move the following resolutions: First, "That Baron Rothschild is not entitled to visit in this House, or to sit in this House, during any debate, until he shall take the oath of abjuration in form appointed by law." Second, "That this House will, at the earliest opportunity in the next session of Parliament, take into serious consideration the form of the oath of abjuration, with a view to relieve Her Majesty's subjects professing the Jewish religion.

A man namd Jones has been brought up at the London police office, for having in his possession a letter threatening the death of Lord John Russell.

Upon this attitude, so tardily assumed by Prussia, reposed the last hope of the friendi of constitutional government to see that power interpose itself, not only between the liberties of the Duchies and of Germany, but the increasing sabre sway of which Russia and Austria are the champions, the allied journals em brace the moment of the conference resuming its deliberation to wheedle the Governments ol France and Eng land, and bully the Government of Prussia into subjection to the recon struction of the Germanic Confede ration on the absolute principles of 1515, and the sacrifice of the Duch ies to the uncontrolled will of the King of Denmark, or his master, the Czar.

It appears from the latest intelligence from the seat of war, that the retreat of the Srhleswig Holstein army at the battle of Idstedt, was more owing to a want of ammunition than as the result of a hard fought field, and no doubt exists but that the retreat was perfectly orderly, and that the army will be speedily ready for action as at first.
