examination of Lysander Dudley for receiving stol-
i;n money from the Dorchester and Millon Bank ,oc-
cup ied the attention of the Police Court most pf tlip
d»y time yesterday. Several witnesses were exam-

Dudley was bound over in $-8000 bonds to appear
at the Munci pal Court in November.

T|ie store of Mr. Azariah Pereiva) , in East Barn-

hoped there will be, a grand r.vli/v of the Democ-
racy of Old Barnstable.
Pur order of ihe Town Committee.
FREDERICK PARKER , Chairman.
Barnstable , Nov. 5.
Rally of Ihe Democracy.
The time for ACTION is at hand. The Election
occurs on MONDAY NEXT , and the present is the
last opportunity that we, shall have to urge upon our
Democratic friends the importance ot a GOOD
OLD DEMO CRATIC R ALLY !
Let no democrat lose si ght ol the fact that the en-
suing Election is of MOMENTOUS IMPOR-
TANCE—involving not onl y State but National
matters of VITAL INTEREST !
THE NEXT CONGRESS must *be democrat-
ic, and Io ensure this let the Democracy of this Dis-
trict do their whole duly. The Whi gs are full y
aware of the importance of this , and are straining
every nerve to defeat the democratic nominees.-—
Democratic voters of Barnstable , Chatham , Well-
fleet and Truro, shall they succeed , throug h apath y
on your part ? We trust not—then let every demo-
crat make his arrangements and determine to be at
home on MONDAY NEXT, and devote that day
to his Country. 'Tis a prerogati ve that every free-
man should be, proud of—a prerogati ve that many a
king ly subject would risk his life to secure—a ri ght
that can never be too hi ghl y prized !
THE NEXT PRESIDENCY may depend upon
the comp lexion of the next Congress. The aristo-
cratieal opposition that has been waged for years
against rep ublican princip les has at last succeeded in
creating divisions and dissensions upon false is-
sues, tending to alienate one portion of the country
against another , u ntil tj nitki) ACTION , so necessary
to success, is almost impossible , and it may be that
ihe election of a President will devolve upon Con-
m'ess—and not onl y the Presidency, but the poli-
cy ok tub Nation for tub next four
YEARS is to be settled , by Ihe election next Mond.iy.
Fellow Democrats of the lOlh Congressional Dis-
trict—do your whole duty. Let every Democrat
be nware of the importance of his vote , and not for
any consideration be so recreant to his duty as to
neglect to act I The harmonious action ol the de-
mocratic electors of the 10th District will result in a
COMPLETE VICTORY over Whi ggery.

The Sanriwidi Observer , pub lished in ihe town
where Mr. Fussendon is most intimatel y known ,and
his worth so well appreciated , says :
"Courtesy, as well as our teoard for the gentle-
man , seem to require that we .
should allude ,in a more
particular manner than we have done , to the nomi-
nation of one of our citizens , for the honorable post
of Representative to Congress. Mr. Fcssenden is
held in no sli ght estimation here , as is shown by his
being elected , year afier year , to the office which he
now holds , by ihe aid of whi g votes ; ami very likel y
he would obtain some of the same kind of votes for
Confess, were he nut so useful at home ; indeed ,
weie the re a good probability ol his being elected to
a seat in that di gnified bod y, w e veril y bulieve 111 h r
many of his brother demoeia ts , in casting their bal-
lots , would expedience something like a conflict be-
tween their own personal wishes , and their known
duty to their part y and its candidate. Mr. Fosen-
den is prompt and read y upon an occasion , is pos-
sessed of much abilit y, and without doubt his course,
as a Representative would be hi ghly satisfactory to
his democratic consti iucnts. "
And as we,cannot do better in speaking of our
candidate ,we give also the following from the Boston
Post. The Democrats of this District will surel y
rall y and do their whole duty for such a candidate-
such a man.
"The nomination is a strong one. C. B. H. Fks-
SKNDKN. Esq., is a gentleman of hi gh personal char-
acte r, firm in his attachme nt to democratic princi-
p les .of abilily lodo essential seivke .and would rep-
resent this district most intelli gentl y. lie under-
stan ds its interests , knows well it* peop le, and in
every sense is well worth y of Ihe entire support of
the demoeraiie party. We hope it will turn out and
vole for him to a m.m. Such a candidate oug ht Io
receive a heavy vote. lie is superior , in many re-
spects , to his whi g competitor ; and were not poli-
ties in the way, so hi ghl y is he esteemed , that we
cannot doubt but that many of the opposite party
would show a preference for him :K the polls. As it

Mr. Ph inney-rrlt is well understood in this to»u
that the Yarmouth Register , under the control of
Otis , meant to abuse some of the best citizens «e
have , in its "heel-biting " article a few weeks «i>o,-.
It did not miss its aim. Its allusions were under,
stood ; and most shameful were the slanders it thm
covetl y flung out upon some of our best men-
Whi gs thoug h they be. Otis and his tools lippan to
feel that they had overloaded their gun ami it b(.
gan to kick them over , when the last Register tomti
out with an attempt to take it all back . They find
that good upri ght men are not quietl y going to [nil
on Amos Otis' collar , because they happen to bt

Zeno has written to New Bedford that he is not
a Whi g such as Mr. Webster is—and it is expected
that all good Whi gs in the District will vote for him ,
notwithstanding !
Will the Whi gs of Sandwich , of Falmoufh , of
Wareham—friends of Daniel Webster—vote for
Zeno Scudder and thus sanction this reproach upon
the distinguished Statesman they have so long and
so devotedl y honored and revered ; their Secretary
of'State of their own \V I1i2 National administration?
No, we don 't believe it. The Whi gs of the 8th Dis-
trict have thrown Horace Mann overboard for the
avowal of the same doctrines—the repudia tion of
Daniel Webster—the Whi gs of the 10th District
will do the same thin g with Zeno Scudder.
Showing thk White Feather.—The New
Bedford Mercury discovers considerable alarm lest
the 10th District "should go unrepresente d" in the
next Congress ! "It would justl y be regarded as a
misfortune at this crisis ," says Col. Hatch's, a nd Col.
Page's organ 1 Don 't be alarmed , nei ghbors. - If
Zeno shouldn 't happen to he elected , nor any bod y
else, the first trial ,there will be time enoug h to elect
Doctor Fisher , or some other good Whi g, who don't
repudiate Mr. Webster—provided the Democrats
don 't in the mean time elect Col. Fessenden.
SaTThose who have friends in California , and
desire to send them an accep table p resent , are in-
formed that V. B. Palmer 's Business Men 's Al ma-
nac would eminentl y prove such. It is calculated
for eight different latitudes , including Calif
ornia, and
is, perhaps , the onl y Almanac published , adapted
to that meridian.

families in the city of New York ,recentl y visited by
the indefati gable agents of the New York Bihle So-
ciety, over six thousand , or more than one fourth

many of these were catholics , is not stated.

ted that the gold and silver imported into the United
States from various parts of the world , over and
above the exports ,duriri « the.last three years ,amounts
to one hundred millions of dollars. .,

taking it into their heads tu amuse themselves by
