Tlie .W.iiliariiptoii (Mass ) Democrat ol June
111), contains an account of n curious, but peri
I ms accident which occurred a few dny since
in that vicinity. On FriiJwy m t r 1 1 i i tr las', at
the eilk factory of llm Norilisrnpion Associa
tion, a buiMing four stone i in height, Georg-e
Washington Sullivan, a young man connected
with that association, went out on the roof
fr the purpose of picking tip a mineral which
ho had accidentally dropped there while stand-i-iijr
in the belfry. To secure himself from fall
i'ttf, he tnuk o(T his shoes. Notwithstanding
this precaution, after descending the roof a few
rtep, finding himself Flipping, ho took ofT one
of his stock ings, but whilst attempting Intake
nirthe other, his motion became so much ac
celerated that further efforts to save himsell
from the fall were useless.
"IT? then with remarkable presense of mind,
rolled himself over upon tlie roof whilst he whs
sliding, in order to prevent falling iion the
f'ntfonn, nn I when ho reached the eaves, ha
ving fir.-.t drawn in and held his breath, clench
ed his teeth and ha ride, and contracted his
muscles, he leaped to the ground, a distance
of forty or forty-five, feet 1 The concussion was
so great ns temporarily to deprive him ol the
nower of standing. He was carried into the
houup anil placed in bed, and was soon after
enmined hy a surgeon, who decided that no
'iu ed were brukeu and no joints dislocated,
iiiliotujli there was reason to apprehend seri
i.ns injury to the muscles about the cpine, where
t.ier.i appeared to bo great eoreneps. The
..nog man's friends then wrapped him in sheets
wet in cold water, after the manner prescribed
by tho "water cure" system, w hich soon produ
ced perspiration. A cold buth was afterwards
ulminiiitered. In the afternoon of the same
li-iv, he walked out without assistance, and the
iiC.xl day was running about with his usual hi-
I intv complaining of no unpleasant effects from
his fill excepting a slight Inmcnes in one of
In.-leut ! A remarkable fact connected with
t 'its occurrence is, that symptoms of serious
ilixeaje, with which he was previously suffer
ing, have since in a great measure disappeared.
I I seems as if the change of action which was
produced in so unusual a manner has been
s ilntary, and that instead of so (rightful an ac
cident being fatal in its effects as inijlit be ex
pected, it has been the means of restoring him

Ciurcii. For some days past, an
rxciting and important debate en the question
of bin very, has been going forward before
the Conference of Bishops sitting at New
York. On Saturday week last the vote was ta
ken on the main question, to wit, to depose Bish
op Andrew in consequence of his being connec
ted with slavery, and carried. To this vote,
'he Bishops from the 6laveholding States have
drawn up a protect, which was read to the Con
fcience on Thursday morning, from a rough
draft, by Dr. Bascon of Ky. This is, by far, the
most important document that has ever been of
fered to the Conference since the organization
ofthe Church. It was listened to with breath
lews attention, not only by the members and o
t hera on the floor, but, also, by a largu audience
in the gallery. The "l'rotest" enters fully in
to the illegality of the proceeding of the Confer
ence in Bishop Andrew's case, and charges
home upon the Northern members (or the ma
j jrity of the vote of Saturday) the abandonment
ct'ihe compromise which was an integral fca
lure of ilio establishment of the Church. It is
clear and explicit in its language, elevated in
iu tone, and firm in its positions. It throws its
signers upon the inviolability of the law and
leaves it to the country and posterity to say who
hiiVu been the breakers of the law. The "Pro
test" is a papr t of extraordinary length, having
occupied Dr. Bascon (who is a fa ft and fluent
npe;;ker) precisely one hour in the reading. He
reUins it, at present, for the purpose of trans'
scripuon and signature, and in the mean time
a Committee, cor.siM.ing of Messrs. Olm, Dur
bin and Hamlin, has been appointed to draw up
a counter statement, to be btyled "a statement
of facta in the case of Bishop Andrew." There
is evtry probability, from the present issuo on
this question, that tho Church will feplit in twain.
Tho Southern members, retaining their faith
end discipline, will organize as a distinct and se
lirrte body, leaving the members of non-slave-holding
Slateri under their present Church go
vernroent. Tho vexed question will be that ot
a division of property I'hila. LrJgrr.

The nomination of these distiiiuiihi'd men
has greatly dissutisned the Whigs, who arc now
engaged in singing loud hosannas in favor of Var
tin Van Puron, although, until the very day of
the nomination, they wore engufcj in nbnsing
him as one of the greatest demagogues in the
cenntry. "Van is a used up man," was an the
end of every Clay Songster. The Convention,
we believe, did not expect to please the whig
when they mad, the nominations. It would, in
deed, have been a hopeless tusk, if they hud.
The Whig have been collecting animation and
bottling up small thunder for the last year, for
thernirpose of overwhelming poor Van, in ruse
he shuuld, as they expected, receive the nomina
tion. Hut they have been sadly disappointed.
All their military stock, songs, sjieeehvs, and
pamphlet have nmv become tiseln. It is ralher
a hard case, and we pitv them as sincerely as
they now pity Van Turen They now take aim
ther track, and as they ean find nothing against
Mr. Tolk, they hop.i to extiiin;ite the faults of
Mr. Clay by proving that others have been as bad
as he. For ihis reason thpy asserted that Mr
Folk had ul-:o fought a duel. This charge, how'
ever, now falls harmless, as the editor of the N
Y. Enquirer, a strong whig, contradicts the re
port himself, as he says, from the best authority
Then aain, Mr. Folk is accused of being in fa
vor of free trade, or the 20 per ct. tariff. Ad
mitting it to be true, it only shows his support of
one of Mr. Clay's own measures, and one that he
recently said he still was iu favor of. tiut Mr
Folk, it is'sai t, is in favor of the present tariff
This is ull that we want. Let the present tarilT
remain umlistinbcd and we ask nothing more
Mr. Dallas, it is well known, is a strong tariir
man. He stands in high favor with the party.
His character is unexceptionable in every partic
ular. With such men, and with the party united,
there is nothing that can pr?vcnt a glorious tie
mociatic triupnih at the next election.

Probably the most laborious and vexatious
part of a housewife's duty is the drudgery of
Washing. Who is it that has not heard of the
"Washing day," that day of all duys, which, if
it does not "try men's souls," at least sorely tries
the hands as well as the amiability and equani
mity of womans' temper. Any one who should
invent something to dispense with washing, or at
all events greatly shorten and lessen the labors
of a washing day. might justly be called a public
benefactor. We have been led to these remarks
by having witnessed the operation of Shugert's
Philosophical Washing Machine, which has been
tried and gives the most perfect satisfaction, as
can be testified by a number of the most respect
able families in this place. Its great advantages
are as follows :
The labor of washing can be pel formed
with perfect ease, in less than one thild of the
urniil time. It does not requite more than one
fouith the usual quantity of soap. I lie wear
and tear is less than by ant other met mil of
waging, as was pioved by the fact that not a
particle of lint could be found on a pieceof black
cloth, washed in the water in which had been
washed a large quantity of linen and cotton.
The Machine is perfectly plain and simple in its
construction, and not liable to get out of repair,
and washes solely by the friction and force of the
water. The rinsing, or wrenching, as it is call
ed, is also done in the machine, which dispenses
with the use of tubs. The price is but six dol
lars. The editor of this paper has the agency
for this and the adjoining counties.

We want no stronger evidence of the despera
tion of the opponents of ITe.skv A Mi iii.kxp.kru,
than the fact that they are attempting to make
the German population believe that he is opposed
to tlu rn. and that he is a slanderer of the Ger
mans that he wrote a letter, while in Europe,
abusing them. Yes, Henry A. Muhlenberg a
slanderer of the Germans ' ! Do the Whig pa
pers suppose that our Germans are bo stupid,
that they would, for one moment, believe such
a story. They micht as welli haige him with
slandering his own fathei and mother. If there
is a man living, who does and who can justly
pride himself on his ancestry, it is Henry A.
Muhlenberg. All his associations alibis friends
all his interests have been German. The best
answer to prove the utter absurdity of this
charge, is the following sentence in reply to an
other member, which we have extrarte.l from
his speech on the Tariff, delivered in the House
of Representatives, January 21, 18.1.1.
"SIR." said Mr Muhlenberg, ' I AM A DE
SCENDANT OF GERMANS. AND 1 PRIDE
MYSELF IN HAVING DESCENDED FROM
THAT HIGH-MINDED, GENEROUS, OPEN
HEARTED, HONEST, INTELLIGENT,
BRAVE, UNWAVERING, AND INFLEXI
BLE PEOPLE."
Is it lik-ly that a man, who would thus express
himself and boast of his German blood before
Congress and the world, would ridicule and
slander his ancestors ' '. !
We heard an intelligent whig, (himself from
Germany.) some months since, make use of the
ubove charge against Mr. Muhleabeig We a:-k-c-d
him if w hat Mr. Muhli-iibei g staled in his let
ter, wa not all strictly tiue. lie acknowledged
to.it it was. V.'e tlii-u asked if he believed that
Mr Muhlenberg intended to slander the Ger
mans, or would be guilty ol such an act. He un
swered promptly that he did not, but that the
story would answer extremely well to election
eer with among the Germans Thus, our Ger
man friends can see that the Whigs, who claim
for themselves all the intelligence, have an idea
that they ran make them believe any ridiculous
story they may choose to invent. Put they will
find, by the ballot boxes at the next election, that
the Germans are the last people that can be gul
led bv federal fish-stories.
"CT" Col. StonP, the editor of the N. Y. Com
mercial Adveitiser, has published a letter of six
columns, in answer to Bishop Hughes, in which
he handles that dignitary of the Catholic Church
without regard to place or station. The Bishop,
in his letter, associates the name of Col. Stone,
a man of high standing and character, with that
of Bennett, of the N. V. Herald, in such a way as
to place them on the same level. Col. Stone, in
his reply, returns the compliment by associating
the name of the Bishop with that of the celebra
ted Monroe Edwards, and diaws a parallel case
between them.

fered, a large number came forward and signed
the Constitution. After which, Geo. A. Flick,
Esq was called on to address the meeting. He
showed, in a forcible and able manner, the differ

their widely different elfeits upon the pro-perity
of our country, and eloquently advocated the

taken their seats, the Club was then addressed
by the following gentlemen, viz : H. B. Masser,

regarded by all who secured his acquaintance as
the noble-t American of all. He did much to ele

of his mission, he returned to his native land,
separating forever from devoted hearts abroad,
to be welcomed by others, yet more devoted, at
home.
All this Mr. M has done, to gain for himself
