The Mansfield Mobocrats. A highly respectable gentleman of Mansfleld, who was at the Kenyon House 'ast week, informed us that the brutal and lawless conduct of Tom Ford, and his brother mobocrats and "Border Ruffians," who act as a police body guard for the Bank at that place, is almost universally condemned by the citizens of Mansfield; and that a wonderful change in public sentiment has ta. ken place in regard to the conduct of the Bank and its friends. If Tom Ford was to head a mob of citizens to-day, to drive away note holders by threats and violence, he would probably find a crowd, ten times as large, that would assemble at the tap of the bell, ready and willing to stop his infamous, outrageous and indefensible proceedings. The gentleman alluded to further imforms us, that the Bank has really suspended specie payments, and may therefore be regarded a broken institution. A citizen of Wooster the other day presented $400 at its counter for redemption, when the Cashier told him he could not be accommodated.-Mt. Vernon Banner.
