OR Thursday last, the bill from the Sen g,;.- rehithte to extra=judicial oaths, came up • itroraar, in _Committee of the Whole, Mr. IltrentasnvAextt in the Chair. r 114i. - Si.svass moved to amend the bill by V , - *Hang out all alter the enacting clause, tiv ; and.inserting, the following, being the first -section - of the bill' reported by him, entitled, act to suppress Secret Societies bound her b y secret and *opt u n l awful oaths. Stein. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate L '! lind,HouseOf Representatives, of the con• saisnwealth of Pennsylvania, in General 4„waddy met; and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same: That if any per. P;),, 'non hereafter initiated or admitted into any Ititernity, association or society, or passed 'or advanced therein from one degree or grade to another, elected an officer thereof, shall be.required to take, repeat or subscribe to any oath, affirmation or obligation in the nature of an oath, not authorised by law, the person or persons who , shall administer ,•,:"Drsball aid or assist in Administering, or shall voluntarily take, repeat or subscribe i;!- , any such oath, affirmation or obligation , the nature of an oath, shall forfeit the sum .:of One hundred dollars, to he recovered by indictment, to the use of the Commonwealth, ;---` Or by an action of debt, to the use of the person suing for the same, before any court of jurisdiction. And in the examination or trial of all complaints, prosecutions or lions under this act, every person present • at. the administering, taking or subscribing to any such oath, affirmation or obligation • in - the nature of an oath, excepting the per • 'eons indicted or sued therefore, shall be a competent witness and compellable to tests ' Provided always, That such person is . not otherwise incompetent to testify, or • has not voluntarily rendered himself incom petent after the offence was committed. And also Provided, That no person so tes ;,-,,, tifying in such trial shall ever after be ha ' ble to any prosecution or action for such Violation of this act as shall have been so tea ., tined to by him. ~, Mr.' THOMPSON opposed the motion, but said he did admit that secret societies were • foolish. " Air STEVENS did not know, he said,whel h er what the gentleman from Venting°, had Enid was intended to apply to the original ,bill or to,the amendment. The original bill only applied to oaths taken in public, before the world. He considered the oaths taken in secret ag infinitely more dangerous than any that could be administered before the public, as public opinion was left to combat them. Bat those that were taken in secret were be :'',bond:the reach of the people, and so wodld ring to light, and punish the participators. As to the nonsense, and mummery of Ma . sonry,which all used to be denied by certain gentleman who once prided themselves with being, the advocaten of the ordei; but public opinion was such now--the people were so 'Much enlightened that it become necessary for some gentlemen to say so now, to tickle the ears of the - 06146as the day of Masonic .% imposition was passing by. He said the bill as it had passed the Sen . ate, was intended to protect and foster Ma , fOnte oaths, rather , than expose and prevent them. Its object was not to put them down, but to be used as a shield to armthem with —and Wail so intended. the amendment was negatived. Mr. Lecoca opposed the bill as inquisito rtali and opposed to the spirit of the consti tution. ' Mr. M'CuLt•ouorr moved to 'strike out the clitua "and compel then: 'to testify," on which he made some remarks. Mr. aiIIVIONS did not stand up to defend the bill—it was none of his; it now : was, too ~..tame. It Was like an old dog with his teeth Akli drawn out. He was nut an advocata of it. 'twee only intended age lullaby for the people, as it was; ,and the most ultra advo cates of Masonry would not dare to go as far support of Masonic oaths and Masonic u 'eurpatien as the amendment offered by the gentleman from Franklin went. He was .aetoniahed to see this from that gentleman, and more so to behold him rise and support Masonry on that floor. Mr. HOPKINS hoped that the amendment of the gentleman from Franklin would not prevail, as it would destroy the object of the bill entirely. The amendment was lost; and he section was agreed to. Mr. STEVENS then offered the following new section to the bill: SEC. 2. Each and every society of the or der of Free and Accepted Masons, or Odd -`Fellows' lodges, chapters, encampments, - cquncils,colleges or consistories, or by what ever name or style the same may be known, shall make return in writing yearly, and eve ry year, to the Secretary of the Cominon wealth on or before the first day of January of each year, of the number and names of the officers and members of such society, 'thei number and names of= the persons who may have been admitted, initiated or advan- eed from one degree to another, in society, or by any of its members or o f ficers within year h e last preceding said return, (with -;:;i t he mml—dand manner of theirinitiation, !:..'lo;o4iciri. or adiancement front one degree to another; the form or forms of the several . :promises or obligations which have been ad. ::ministered or repeated to any person or per. sons at any meeting of such society by tiny its offieers or members, or any other per. soli)! Within the said--together with the • `ti s sad place . and occasion when and where Abe. state was administered, repeated or ta. kan,:the4imesand places dfrneeting ()ranch • • 'holden - Within the year, 'together . • ail the property real and personal lia. tp isiXatiOn, belonging to, or . held by, or " It ' tor. said 'lmlay; which return shall . Ilifingoad - by the f presichog ofri ' • t one of cer, o 1 Of f icara Qfauchsociety, witha to ' endorsed thereon or , attac hed by a judge of some court of record ted ocitutly- where said society; oca , truth 01 mid return.has been tea. • • agis - and Domestic Intern titled to, under oath or affirmation, before him by the officer or person making such return. And every presiding or principal officer of any such society neglecting to make such return aforesaid, shall, for every such neglect, forfeit a sum not less than one thousand dollars, to be recovered by indict. ment to the use of the commonwealth, or by an action of debt to the person suing for the same, Provided however, That the provis ions of this section shall not extend to any society therein described, which , shall not have held any meeting or transacted any busineFs within the year for which said re-- turn is to be be mado. Mr. STEVENS supported the amendment by a short and eloquent speech, in which he showed that this was the only means by which secret oaths could be suppressed. Mr. ANDERSON of Delaware, a Mason, moved to strike the following words out of the section, "with the mode and manner of their initiation, admission or advancement from one degree to. another, the form or fbrms of the several promises or obligations which have been administered or repeated to any person or persons, at any meeting of such society, by any of its officers or mem bers, or by any person." Mr. LADDER supported the motion. Mr. WALKER opposed the amendment in a short but animated speech. When he concluded, before the question was taken. Mr.'ArtnEnsorr of Delaware, moved that the committee rise,which motion was carried by the Masonic party. Mr. STEVENS named to-morrow as the day for the' Committee to sit again, but sev eral of the Masonic party named Tuesday next, for the purpose of defeating the bill, knowing that it could not then be reached. The yeas and nays being called on Tuesday next, it was carried, yeas 40, nays 36, So the bill was virtually negatived, the vote being considered the same as a direct vote on the bill. During the vote the. Masonic party sent out and brought in the stragglers.— The yeas and nays were as follows: YEAS.—Messrs.

DONE TO TilE LlFE!—Dewitt Clinton, who was gifted with the Junian point, as well as with statesmanlike abilities, once drew little Van's character in the following words: "A political Grimalkin, purring over pet ty schemes, and mousing over sinister de signs—without dignity of mind, or elevation or character." This was said some twenty years ago! Time has confirmed the sagacity of the ob server and developed more 'strongly the lineaments of his subject. Never did a politician's character so universally strike all beholders in the same light.—Rich mond Whig. The following is given as the speech of Mr. Edwards, of Connecticut, on receiving the annunciation of his election as the Gov. ernor of the State, by a Jackkn party: "Friends and Gentlemen;----I stood by you ltist.'„year and you have stood by me this. I say with Davy Crokett, stand by the rack, fodder or no fodder."• From tho York Republican (*-PREACHERS AND POLITICS. It has always been the design of the peo ple of this country to separate religion from politicks, and while freedom of religious opinion is granted to every one, and every doctrinal creed is permitted unreservedly to be advocated by its votaries, they have on every occasion frowned on the first dawning of an attempt to amalgamate the church with the administration of the republic. This feeling has also extended to the preach. ers of the gospel, and the public regarding them as having taken upon them vows of obedience to a higher power, have jealously viewed every invasion which this class of men have made into the political world, either as a body or singly. They have been taught thus to act from the example of Europe, where the emolumeuis of office and the franchises of citizenship have in many countries been confined to persons of a particelar religious seat: and the con. science of man been rendered accountable to hts fellow creature instead of to his Creator. In defiance however of this feeling and regardlebs of the obligations under which they • have come to devote their time and talents to the service of the Deity, there have been men of this profession so recreant to every impulse of propriety and duty as to desert the sacred desk in order to join in the conflicts of the political arena. Such a Man is now before the people. of Pennsylva nia a candidate for Governor, and though persons have heard to affirm that they have taken the sacrament from- the hands of HENRY A. Mormo:map at one time, and at another have PLAYED WITH HIM AT , TUE CARD-TAULE, yet this, if true, only proves his entire abandonrpent of virtue and des titution` of moral worth': - The people of this commonwealth will not . choose for their chielmagistrate a'man who is imbued with sectarian feelings or religious intolerance— they will not consent to an union of Church and State in the heeds of any one, whose influence and exertions might> be used for ence, Literature,- Setence, agriculture,. the .70eehanie arts, Internal Improvenient, and General eltlfseellany..co the advancement of his particular sect to the injury of others, or for purpose of bri dling the freedom of religious faith or sub jecting the conscience of man to the super vision and restraint of the civil government. Nor will they, on the other band, dignify with the highest marks of their favour one who, by deserting the service of God and proving faithless to his ordination vows, gives them just cause to believe that he ' would not be more observant oftheir rights, and to fear that he would not more conscien tiously and with more regard for principle, perform his civil than he did his religious duties. In a word, the recreant preacher, H. A. MnutEnnEno, WILL NOT DE TREIR FAVOURITE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. j Senator BUCHANAN gave lately at Lan caster, Pa. this coast, av if in a paroxysm of "Wm. T. Berry: The eloquent disciple of Jefferson—the pure patriot and honest man. If his generous nature has been de ceived by the wiles of the designing, the energy and talent with which his Depart ment is now administered, will soon relieve it from every difficulty." Governor Wolf has lately appointed no less than four• new justices of the peace in Beaver County. This liberal exhibition of executive patronage cannot reelect the "poor gentleman." Burnt Brandy wont save him.— York Republican. General Intelligence. From the Harrisburg Telegraph, of April 15. HIGHLY DISHONORABLE. The following fact will give our readers some idea ofthe "dignity" and honor attach ed to some of the Masonic members of the Legislature. Yesterday, Mr, Stevens and Mr. Snyder of York, drew up a bill to incorporate a com pany to make a Rnil•road from W rightsville through York to Gettysburg. Mr. Snyder offered the bill as an amendment to a bill passing; the reading was dispensed with, in the hurry of business, and it was only read by its title. Mr. Stevens ably advocated its passage, and carried it through. When it came into the Senate, Mr. Middlecoff, the Senator from Adams county, discovered that the bill was so altered as to extend the road only from Wrightsville to York, and supposed there had been some fraud corn. milted; but before he had an opportunity to _communicate this to Mr. Stevens, the bill passed, and was sent to the Governor. This morning when the bill was returned to the House, Mr. Stevens charged Mr. Snyder with having committed the forgery and al tered the bill for the purpose of fraud, after having obtained his assistance to pass it, and offered a resolution to have the bill restored to its original provisions; but in the anxiety for adjournment the resolution was lost.— Mr. S. did not deny the charge, that he al tered the bill after it had been left in his hands by Mr. Stevens. An other act of such unblushing infamy we think the annals of legislation cannot produce. It is well known that the bill could not have been passed without the aid of Mr. Stevens, and to obtain this Mr. Snyder resorted to an act baseness that a man of the least sense of honor would indignantly spurn. We un derstand Mr. Snyder boasts of the act as a cunning "trick"—An act of infamy and kna very for a cunning trick! What a specimen of sense, dignity and honor. Of the paupers admitted into the Fred erick county, Md. Poor House from April 1834 to April 1835, 85 were American citizens and 291 foreigners.---ibid. OMO AND MICIIMAN.—It seems that the Commissioners appointed by the Presi• dent tia-act as mediators between Michigan and Ohio have had an interview with Goir ernors Lucas - and Mason, and that their mission' has been unsuccessful, Gov. Lucas having refused to defer the survey of the northern boundary, and declaiing that he would not yield one jot or title to the solici tations of the Commissioners. Some diffi culties have already occurred on the border. We are informed (says the Detroit Journal) that the Sheriff of Monroe and some of his deputies have been arrested in the discharge of their duties, by the authorities of Ohio, and carried to Toledo. A good deal of ex citement prevailed at Monroe, and a serious conflict was apprehended. • The Land Bill has received the signa ture of the Governor, and became a law. It is a very important one indeed to those who hold unpatented lands, and no time should be lost by those who wish to avail them selves of its advantages. More favorable terms could scarcely be asked, particularly by owners of the poorer crass of lands, who have now an opportunity of patenting their lands for the original purchase money,with out interest. If the holders of unpatented lands do not -dome forward promptly and 'comply with the provisions of this law du ring the present year, there is danger that the next legislature may nndo what the late one has done—which may be done without any violation of the Constitution on their part.—Chambersburg Whig. HENRY WELSH Esq. has retired from the office of the "Pennsylvania Reporter," and is succeeded by Mr. DAVID SHALL. CoNsumrriorr.—A young lady in the last stages of consumption was lately restored to her health by the following extraordina ry and accidental remedy:—She had long been attended by the faculty, but derived no benefit from their prescriptions, and consi -dered herselfverging to the end of her ex istence, when she retired during the sum mer to a vale in the country, with the inten tion to wait in solitude the hour of her ap proaching dissolution. While in that situa tion,•it was her custom to rise as - early as her malady would permit, and contemplate the`'beauties of nature and the wonderful works of God from her chamber window from which she observed a dog belonging to the house, with scarcely any flesh on his bones, constantly go and lick the dew off a camomile bed in the garden; in doing which the animal noticed to alter in addearance,to recover strenght, and, finally, to look plump and well. The singularity of the circum• stance was impressed strongly on the lady's mind, and induced her to try what effect might be produced from following the dog's example. She accordingly procured the dew from the same bed ofcamomile, drank a small quantity each morning, and after continuing it some time experienced some relief; her appetite became regular, and she found a return of spirits, and in the end was completely cured.—Foreign paper. REronx.—The bill authorizing a vote of he People on the propriety of calling a Con. vention for amending- the Constitution of Pennsylvania, which had previously passed the House of Representatives, passed thro' the Senate on Friday the 10th instant, by a vote of 18 to 13. The Senate has changed the time of taking the vote from the second Tuesday of October to the third Friday of, March. Perhaps this change is right. The election of Governor, and other officers, will create excitement enough for one day.— i The important vote on the propriety of calling a Convention should not be a party vote.—Ebensburg Sky.

Irmerrrovs.—A lawyer in the western part of New York, hits invented a Saw Mill Dog, which in addition to its self setting power, will in most cases render only a sin gle hand necessary to attend a saw, it will, if it be desired, enable the saw to cut entire ly through the log; and saw that part of the log usually left unsawn. It has also an ap. paratus attached to it which will hoist and shut the gate. DEOLL TASTE.-A person who adverti ses himself, in a wester - 1i paper, to be a small farmer, and in want of a wife, ofThrs a pre mium of $lOO to any female candidate for matrimony who will become "bone of his bone," and change labours with him;--that is to say, she to take charge of the plough ing, the planting, the pigs, et cetera, and he of the pots, the puddings, the babies' et cete ra. If he should succeed in his "search for a wife," under these conditions,the mod us operandi of the experimentalists would be well worth witnessing. THE USE or A DEAD WIFE.-A German Journal contains the following paragraph. The wife of a labouring man, in the neigh borhood of Stockholm, died some time ago, and the husband made the necessary pre. partitions for the interment. He, however, deposited a block of wood in the coffin, in stead of the corpse, which he conveyed, du ring. the night, into a fiirest, that it might serve as a bait for the wild boa its. By this expedient ho succeeded in catching a wolf and two foxes. On the circumstance be. ing made known, the man was arrested and carried before the court of justice; but, far from being intimidated, he claimed the re ward offered for destroying mischievous ani mals. During the last year there were born in Paris 29,130 children, namely-14,904 males, and 14,220 females. Of these 19,- 145 were legitimate; 18,685 of them being born in private houses, and 460 in hospitals or almshouses; 9,985 were illegitimate, 5,- 473 of whom were born in private houses, and 4,512 in hospitals. Of the natural chil dren, 1,170_ were acknowledged by their parents. The deaths amounted to 24,177; namely, 12,004 males, and 12,173 females. Of these 15,340 died in their own houses, and 8,887 in the hospitals. The number of births exceeded that•ofthe deaths by 4,954. The marriages were 8,089. In 1833 there were 27,460 births; 25,026 deaths, and 7,- 938 marriages. There are 22 free Lancasterian Schools in thiscity,for the instruction of infants,boys, girls and blacks—the number being 8,344, boys 4,538, girls 3,7 BB—among thorn 1,433 infants and 339 blacks. There are Miler tree schools in the city, which swell the to tal amnut of pupils to 9,544. During the past sixteen ysiars, no less than 60,000rchil dren's names have been entered on the school rolls, receiving their education at the public expense. The amount drawn on the Treasurer for expenses for the year 1834, was 843,476; for real estate 811,228; for school furniture.,Bl,o79—total--$55,- 782.—Philadelphia Post: TIM Ron IN CHINA.—The grand pana cea, however, after all, is the rod. The general application of this vigorous instru ' ment of administration is by no means con. fined to China, but embraces, without ex ception, every country of the East, from Japan to Bengal, including about 500,000, 000 of people, or more than half the human race. There the rod, under its various ap. plications of bamboo, cane, cudgel or birch, is actively at work from morning till night, and afterwards from night till morning.— The Grand Patriarch canes his first min• istor; the Prime Minister canes the Secre tary olState; the Secretary of State admon ish Lords of the Treasury by belaboring ' their backs; these enforce their orders to the First Lord of the Admiralty by apply ing what is equal to a cat.o'•ntno Generals cane field-fficers, and field , fricers the captains and subalterns. Of course the common soldiers of the Celestial army are caned ad libitum, by every body. Then husbands cane their wives, and wives cane their children. In short, the Chinese and their neighbours may be truly described as well-flogged nations. THE KING'S Cocx Cnowun.—Arnong the customs which formerly prevailed in England during the season of Lent, was the following:—An officer denominated the King's Cock Crower, crowed the hour each night, within the precincts of the palace, instead of proclaiming it in the mayrer of the late watchman. This absurd ceremo ny did not fall Tto disuse until the reign of George /. If the following be true, one may soon look forward to more promising times in Ireland: "A person in Augsburg has discovered a mode of making from potatoes sugar, wipe, vinegar, beer, and a pure dist:lled spirit convertible into rum and brandy. The re mains of the potato, after the extractim of its saccharine matter, are used for feeding cattle." The Harrisburg Chronicle or Tuesday states that President Jackson is dangerous ly ill at Washington city. RAIL ROAD TO QUEBEC.- , -.TIIO Portland Advertiser states that it understands Gov. Dunlap, of Maine, has received ft letter from the Governor General of British America, at Quebec, stating that he and his Govern ment are ready to meet ours in a survey of the route for the proposed Rail Road, from our Atlantic sea board to Quebec, whene ver our Government shall appoint the neces sary Surveyors and Engineers. Goodf—go ahead ye friends of enterprize- DEATH BY DROWNING.—We learn from the Cumberland Civilian, that a stone cutter named William M'Mullen, engaged in erect ing - a bridge across Wells' creek, at that 'place, "in attempting to cross the creek on a foot bridge, on Saturday last, accidentally fell, and was swept off' by the 'current to Some distance beloW, where hd sunk; and although every effort was made in the pow er of those who witnessed his struggles, his body was not recovered until about-three hours after.- We learn that he was an ex cellent workman—and that he has_left a wife and one child." We rejoice, that the Legislature .has made provision, by law, for taking the sense of the people in relation to a Convention for amending the State Constitution, and enter. tam a hope that a majority of the people will see the expediency of• carrying the measure through. The danger which' we formerly apprehended from exposing the Constitution to the wisdom and patriotism of such as might have the remodelling of it, has dwindled into nothing in comparison with the existing and growing evils—the disgraceful scenes - and demoralizing influ. ence of the often recurring conflicts for pow er, and the fierce scramble for offices, which can only be effectually checked by divest. ingthe Executive of his patronage.—Cham bersburg Whig. The National Intelligencer, of Monday, relates the circumstance of a person being discovered in the chamber of the President, on Friday night last, who, on being chal lenged as to his business or object there, replied that he wanted to get out. Tho in truder .appeared to be a day•laborer, and it was supposed, had got into the house with a view to plunder. He was locked up for the night in an out house on the premises, from which he contrived to make his escape. It is well for Poindexter that he is in Missis• sippi, instead of Washington, or here would be another case for the affidavits of such "respectable mechanics," as Coltman and Co.—lbid. MATTHIAS THE PROPHET has been tried and acquitted of the charge of murdering Mr. Pierson. He was, however, Conviuted of the charge of an assault and battery 'upon, hts'daughter, and sentenced to three months imprisonment. • "It is a lamentable instance of the weak; ness of human natlire,that many of the peo ple in the neighborhood of White Plains should still place implicit faith in this outra geous imposter. He lately issued a decree from' the jail, ordering all the farmers to lay down their ploughs; for, he says, "as I litre there shall be no more sowing in the earth, until I, Matthias, the twelfth and last of the Apostles, am delivered out of the House of Bondage." He has also prophesied, that, if he be found guilty; ‘'Wh:te Plaine•shnuld be destroyed by an earthquake, and not an inhabitant left to tell the tale of its destruc tion." TO THE PUBLIC. THE Filly.second Number of the Re public of Letters will . chile the first year of the work. It was commenced as an experiment—the liberal patronarre it has re ceived, as well the favor bestowed upon oth er works of a like kind which have followed in•its track, shows that the plan of the work is approved; and has giVen it a permanency which induces the publisher to make such alterations and improvements as he believes will be acceptable to subscribers, and give it a fin-flier claim upon the reading community. Since the work has been in the hands of the present publisher, he - has endeavored to ascertaia as far as practicable, the views or the subscribers in relation to one or two matters important to the interest ofthe work. The first is in relation to a change in its form. It has been the opinion of the present publisher from the first, that the octavo form —being. one half the present size, would be preferable; and he is gratified that the sub-_ scribers with'whoin he has been enabled to confer, have almost unanimously expressed the same opinion. The fbrm of the work will -therefore be changed at the commence ment of the second year to octavo, each number containing thirty-two pages. The second point is, in relation to_the se lections fbr the work. The opinions ofsub scribers in this are extremely various—so much so as to render it impoSsible to satisfy all. Thus flu. it has been our object •to give as much variety as possible, and at the same time to introduce into each volume one or two works of some magnitude. Some ob jection has been made to works which ne cessarily occupy from eight to ten numbers, n 3 far as practicable this will in future be avoided. Tho "Republic of Letters" is a reprint of Standard Literature; works, therefore, which aro now and ephemeral, are necessa rily excluded. The future volumes will embrace more of historical works, biography, and travels, than hitherto. The first number of the second year will contain "Elia" by Charles Lamb, ono ()idle most beautiful and popular works of the time —to be followed by Voltaire's Peter the Great—Calamities of Authors by D'lsraeli, &c. &c.; end in the course of the volume will be published some volume of History, prepared under the superintendence of Dr. Lardner, by Sir Walter Scott, T. Moore, Esq., Mackintosh and others. The work will be published weekly as heretofore, at 6i cents - per number, or three dollars per year to those who receive the work by mail and pay in advance. Post masters throughout the United States are requested to act as Agents. All Subscribers who now receive the work by mail, are requested to forward their sub scription for the second year it they wish the work continued to them. The two volumes contain the following works, and may be had, bound or in num bers:— The Man of Feeling, by Mackenzie. The Vicar of Wakefield, by Goldsmith. The Tales of the Hall, by Crabbe. The Letters of Lady Wortley Montague. Rasselas, by Dr. Johnson. Castle of Otranto, by Horace Walpole. - The Old English Baron, by Clara Reeve. Dr. Franklin's Life and Essays.

[April 20. “THE WREATH.” O 7 - A paper bearing the above title was issued from this office last week. It is our intention to issue it regularly, should a suffi• cient number of subscribers be obtained to cover the expense of printing. We hope the public, if it is deemed right in sustain• ing such a publication, will readily appreci ate our object and encourage us to go on with the "Wreath." We copy the address issued with the first number, in order that the public at largo may learn our object in making the attempt of establishing a paper, although small at present, devoted exclusive ly to Literature and the Fine Arts:— From the' "Wreath." TO THE PO'Brad. (g3-WE this week present to the Public the first number of a newspaper to be entitled TH E WREATH, to be devoted to Literature and the Fine Arts, which it is designed to publish in this place, if sufficient en couragement shall be bestowed on the attempt to war rant the undertaking. Laboring under the disadvan tages which always attend the outset of such an enter prize, the present number is,of course, but :skint and imperfect specimen of what the "Wreath" is design ed to be. If, however, a sufficient number of subscri bers shall be procureskto enable us to go on, we shall spare no trouble or labor, mental as well as bodily, to render it worthy of ranking With the other literary publications of ourcountry; and we believe that the exchange list we shall be able to command, united with the original talent we shall have it in our powet to enlist in our cause, will furnish us with ample ma terials to redeem our pledge. We have been prompted to the present undertak ing, mainly, by two reasons : Firstly—Because we anticipate no little pleasure, and,( we ingenuously confess it,readerl)peradventure. a little profit to ourself from the undertaking; for which latter,however,should we be so blest as to have our anticipations realized, we shall feel bound in gra titude and honor to do our beit to reader an equivalent. Secondly—Because we thought a publication of this kind, in a cheap form, devoted exclusively to Litera ture, and freed from the acidities of political strife, would be acceptable tau large proportion of the rend ing _and intelligent population of this place and neigh borhood. A place like Gettysburg, so pre-eminently distin guished for its liberality, public spirit and literary taste, ought certainly to emstain at least one publica tion exclusively devoted to literary purposes—and we know that the 'Want of such a Journal has been severe- ly felt, and often complained of,,by many, This de sideratum, it shall be our duty . to supply. •' •' We believe that the disseininatioucf. Weil publica tions exercises a salutary influence, not only on public taste, but on public morals. In proportion as the in tellect is polished and relined, the mind is chastened and purified. A well cultivated imagination rarely co exists with inordinate desires, •sensual lusts or gross vices. The culture of the Taste and the Fancy, has a constant and necessary tendency to destroy the ap• petite for such gratifications, by furnishing the mind with a new and more ethereal aliment of its own. In this point of view,then,the support of literary papers, :when properly conducted, is an object worthy the at tention of the Statesman and the Philanthropist. Another advantage we propose from our present un dertaking is,that it will afford a convenientand ready vehicle for the encouragement and development of native talent, of which there is certainly a fund among us. The youthful essayist, the fledgeling poet, and the young adventurer in the regions of fancy, will find our columns open to his p en—always , provided, that his productions are of sufficient merit to warrant their insertion. From such, and all others who are infee- ted with the "cacoellies acribendi," we shall always be happy to receive communications. If accepted, our gratification in aiding the developement of latent talent will not be inferior to theirs ;, if rejected, we shall do it with pain.and still feel grateful for the prof- fered aid; and so far from accompanying our refusal with the insulting and derisive language so common with too many of the would be Autocrats of Litera ture, we shall advise them to "pick the flint and-try it again!" ' We shall not say more at present, as to our future course, nor will we now venture to anticipate the merits, or predict the fortunes of the leaving both to the revelation of Time and the candid judgment of the Public. Cu- Tun WREATH will be published every Satur day, on a half sheet royal, at $l, if paid at the time of subscribing or on receiving the second number—or $1 25, if paid half-yearly in advance. Should pay ment be deferred until the end of the year,sl 50 will be required. (0-Ifsuxessful in our undertaking, No. 2 will be issued on the 16th of May next, if not sooner. RODEitT W. MIDDLETON. Gettysburg, April 25, 1835. TO THE LADIES. (0-Although we have not particularly appealed to the LADIES in the above address, ;yet it is to them we look—and on them we depend,in a great measure to sustain the "Wativrit";--assnring them, that, al though we shall be compelled to cull full many a flow erto form our "Wreath," yet we shall endeavor to void introducing into it one thorn or briar that would in the least wound their feelings or cause a blush to suffuse their cheeks- While We cater for their ll musemCnt, we, shall also labor to lead them on is the praciice Oi VIIITDE and in the pursuit of KNOWLEDGE.

I observe a paragraph in the last "Star," in re• lotion to the Orders of Dr. Hall, which it is my du: ty to notice When. Dr. Hall had the handbills containing his orders, struck, ho requested me to hand a copy to Mr. Middleton, which I promised to do. When I came down 'area the bills were still in use and I afterwards forgot it. My only excuse is, that neatly ever since I have been con. fined to my room by sickness. Mr. Middleton will be good enough to insert this that blame may full in the right place. April 24 0 - 1110 RE ABOUT THE LETTER! Messrs. Horner & Cooper—Please insert the following, as my final answer to the remarks of the "Star." I havo noithor time nor inclination to outer in. to a discussion with every petty editor or others thnt may differ really or pretendedly (for political purposes) with me as to the propriety of my course in relation to Mr. Buohler's letter; much loss skull I attempt to vindicate myself with mon who nov. or khow exporimentally what honor is—but I am willing to abode the decision of those who under. stand tho code, and can appreciate its obligations. JOHN L. FULLER. OZ )-We cop*the above from one of the Masonic presses of this borough. We also give below an extract from the "Pennsylva nia inteTligencer," a Whig paper. Indeed, all parties seem to agree with us as to the infamy of both the betrayer and the betrayed. Mr. FULLER talks of honor! After having betrayed. the man whoso Vend ho pretended to be, if we wore about to draw the portrait of a MAN or HoNoR, we should certainly Nox ask .Mr. Fuller to sit for the picture. Bu i l we care very little about the Treason or the Traitor. The old adage will be verified --Oz:r" When these rogues fall out, THE ANTI-MASONS WILL co 1E w TIME OWN!" 07 - Copying the correspondence publish ed in our last, the Harrisburg "Intelligen cer" observes-- "As unprincipled, however, as we consid er Mr. Buehler's letter, we consider it a mere peccadillo, in comparison to the vil lainy of his betrayer." att - Since the above was in type, wo have received the Carlisle Volunteer containing the following paragraph:— Strong suspitions are entertained by ma ny, that the letter signed H. :Buehler, pur porting to have been written to some faith less person in Gettysburg, is a forgery.— Such things have been, on the eVe ()fan elec tion, and such things may be again. If, however, it wasgenuine, we know not which to blame most, the author; or the person who betrayed him.—Carlisle Volunteer: PENN6YLVANI.A. COLLEGE. 0:7-Being unable to attend the examina tion referred to; we readily make room • for the following communication. Persons at a distance, wishing to send their children or wards to College, would do weir not to over look Pennsylvania College. Besides the many advantages to be derived from the In stitution itself, no place in the Union, we will venture to say, is more moral or more health} , than Gettysburg. It is with feelings of peculiar gratification that we sit down to record the proceedings of the late session of the Board of Trustees of Pennsylvania College. The meeting was particularly interesting, and resolutions were passed eminently calculated to promote the prosperity of the Institution. In view of the recent deliberations and decisions of the Board, it is confidently believed that the Col lea° has arrived at a favorable crisis, and that r ' from the present period its progress to. ward extensive usefulness and celebrity will be decisive, rapid and certain. On Tuesday morning last, the Board and some others met the Faculty and students in the College Edifice, for the purpose of wit. liming an examination; and it affords us pleasure to state, that the performances of the young gentlemen were such as to afford unequivocal evidence of their diligence and talent, and at the same time to reflect most creditably on the diligence and abilities of the Professors. They passed through the ordeal of a rigid and prolonged trial on the Classics, Mathematics, Evidences of Chris tianity, Geography, Geology, &c. &c. &c., and never have we witnessed a class of stu dents who acquitted themselves more satis factorily, and furnished clearer proof of their having been engaged in a course of useful study, superintended _by judicious and able Teachers, and prosecuted with diligence and success. . We cannot but regard this exhibition of native and acquired talent, as a highly flat tering pledge of future distinction on the part of the young gentlemen,. and of rapidly in• creasing efficiency and growing merit in the Institution, We can therefore confidently recommend . Pennsylvania College to all those parents and guardians.who . are looking nut for a seat of learning where there chil. clren ntul wards may have an opportunity of JAMES COOPER NEWSI'AiiR UNION.—The Appeal, a White paper, has bean •united with the Washington Sun. The Editor, Mr. Rind, when announcing the union, says—" Not hing could have induced me to withdraw from the "Appeal," at a juncture like the present, when the electionofJudge White is reduced to a moral certainty, but the consciousness of a daily declining health, which admonish ed me that I was unable to devote that la bor and assiduity, so necessary to render a newspaper acceptable to its readers--and, that I must either forego all my cheering hopes and brilliant prospects, or find a pre mature grave." TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.-A "Temper ance" paper says, the subscribers to Tern. nerance Societies throughout the 'United States amount to one million three hundred thousand individuals. SIX MONTES IN A CONVENT.—The num ber of copies of Miss Reed's "Six Months in a Convent," which passed the hands of the binder between the 14th of March and the 16th of April, was 23.221, and the publish erahave orders yet to be supplied, for 5000 copies more. The New York Grand Canal from Alba ny to Buffalo, was opened for Spring navi gation, on the 15th inst. The water was let in on that day, after a stoppage of more than four months.

"The Franklin Repository,"' a professed Whig paper! occasionally copies articles from Van Buren papers against a prominent Whi_ candidate for the Presidency! We deem comment unnecessary, as the editor of that print is at,,perfect liberty to vent his spleen in that direction, if he can thereby appease the goading& of Ilia political con sctence.--Carlisle Herald. PROSPERITY OF PITTSRIIIIO.—This place appears to be in a most thriving condition. The Daily. Crimette of thp 16th inst. says "Business was, we belidve, never so brisk as at present. The Canal is in full and suc cessfhl operation--steamboats,crowded with passengers and with full cargoes, are arriv. ing and departing daily. Our Manufacto ries have all as much work as they can do. As to our merchants and commission mer chants, they are literally oppressed with business, being usually kept at work from daylight until midnight. We must admit that they bear this pressure most patiently, for we have not heard a single complaint.''' CommUnicated Who can descrihe the feelings of the mother on seeing her cherub restored to her bosom? She must have been more then mor tal, if her heart did not swell almost to burst ing—and yet, when reflecting upon the temptations and trials to which her innocent would be exposed, her cup ofjoy must have been strongly mingled with bitterness. , "The following incident lately occurred at Munieh in Bavaria: A child of two years of age, which had been conveyed in its cof fin to the burial house, at the moment when it was about to be committed to the grave, was found sitting up in the coffin, gaily a• musing itself with the flowers with which the body had been decorated preparatory to interment, without appearing disturbed by the unaccustomed scene by which it was surrounded. On being addressed, the child requested to be carried to its mother." PHENOMENON.—An Indiana paper states that on the night of the 4th instant,,as the steamboat Portsmouth was ascending the Ohio river from L'ouisville, a large globe of fire passing through the atmosphere, alight ed on the top of the sight pole, and contin• ued there fora considerable time—the night being unusually dark gave it a more terrific appearance. The passengers were much alarmed; and the officers and crew, think ing it ominous of some serious event, as she had been an unfortunate boat, deserted her. --Hagerstown Mail. &TEC]. OF MR.

Truly this is a growing party. In Westmoreland county, the Wolf men have beaten them, in a county meeting, by about two to one.—Pa. Int. 'AN EXCELLENT INVENTION.-Mr. Caleb Williams, Jr. of Providence, R. I. has in vented an India Rubber Boat, which is said to be an admirable thing for exploring riv ers, survey ing, trout amtpickerl fishing, &c. The boat, says the Providence Journal, is constructed very much upon the plan of Bur den's Steamboat, with two inflated cylinders of India Rabber cloth, connected on the top by five or six beams of light portable plank, which supports a deck of boards. The -whole apparatus weighs about twenty pounds.— The cylinders may be both inflated in from five to ten minutes, and when the air is dis charged, may be folded in a valise. The . rest of the apparatus may be conveniently carried in the bottom of•a wagon or chaise. This boat will sustain at least one ton's weight, and by enlarging the deck, : would accommodate quite a fishing party. The importance of this invention to surveyors and navigators of rivers; must readily be conceived. The boat may be navigated, with the weight of one man, where the wa ter is not more than one inch deep, and the elasticity of the cylinders has been proved to be a protection against their being punc tured by snags and rocks.—Bolt.
