pal election i« going on amidst consid
erable oxcitement. Returns from
three wards have been received, which
show that, iSwann, tbe American can­
didate for Mayor has gained largely
on tlio American vote at the last, elec­
tion. It is confidently estimated that
he will bo elected by four thousand
majority. Tbe Americans will doubt­
less carry tbe city by n large majority.
•> o'cn.ocK, P. M .—A terri bio riot is
now progressing throughout the city.
Gangs of men, numbering hundreds,
armed with muskets, pistols, and all
manner of weapons, have taken pos­
session of various wards, and o^e fight­
ing continually ; using firearms IVee-
ly, and shooting indiscriminately at
poisons noar them. A largo number
of individuals are reported to have
been already killed and wounded.
MORK FUMAI,E 'I KAFTTKUS ron THIS
WEHT .—Kx-Gov. Xlado of Vermont,
tlio indefatigable, lately passed through
»Springfield. Mass., with another de
»achment of his army of Vermont fe­
male teaehos, designed to follow up
the assault upon tlio ignorauco of tlio
West. There were twenty-five in this
company, going to Illinois, Indiana,
Missouri and Iowa, and they swell the
total who have thus gone out under
Gov. Slade's auspices to 460.
We never hear any complaint
against this sort of "emigrant«" tfo
the West, and we aro inclined to tlio
opinion that tlio people out there—
particularly tlio old bachelors —ratlior
like to havo them come. If strict in­
quiries wero made, wo doubt not that
around a goodly number of these four
hundred and fifty Vormout young
ladies, sundry half-and half iittlo Ver

THE OASM SYSTEM .—From time to
t ime, efforts have boon made to prove
that the cash, is tbe only Christian
system. Could our merchants and
trades people bo convinced of the fact,
they would secure to themselves ben­
efits only outcquallod by the advan­
tages, which would accrue to tlio com­
munity. The credit system, so per­
nicious to the very best interest of tbe
community ; can only bo broken up,
by the merchants themselves, making
a proper difference between cash
paying customers, and tboso who
I HI y on a credit. When the cash sys­
tem, isonee fully established, themcr-
cbant can tell, how his pecuniary
affairs Rtand, and will not bo contin­
ually iti dread, of not being able to
meet, bis engagements. Undor such
a system people would soon learn to
buy, what they want ; and not what
they do not want.
