Another Interesting Letter. al- We lay before our readers this week another highly interesting letter from Mr. GICOSIGE CATLIN, an eminent American Artist. It will be perceived that this letter was written upon the very remarks. ble ridgo of rocks described in the one published In our last. Letter from Air. Catlin: RED PIPE STONE, On the Coteau du Prairie, Sept. 1836. 5 Since the date of my fetter, (which was writ ten in this very strange place, and on the very rock where the “Great Spirit stood when he created the first red man," and where ho also •stood, some centuries afterwards, and consecrated the pipe of peace by taking it from the rock and smoking it to the congregated nations that were assembled about him,) I have been banqueting and surfeiting my body on buffalo meat, and my mind on the rich legends of this hallowed ground. Lifted up into the Heavens on this stately mound, whose top is fanned with air as light to breath as nitrous oxide gas—and bivouacked on its very ridge, (where nought on earth is seen in distance save the thou sand treeless, bushless, weedless hills of grass and vivid green which all around me vanish into an infinity of blue and azure,) have I dwelt, and here dwell I. Stretched on our bearskins, my fellow traveler and myself have hero lain and contempla ted the splendid orrery of the heavens, with sad delight, that shook me in the end with terror, have I watched ths swollen sun shoving down (too fast for time) upon the mystic horizon; whose lino was lost except as it was marked in blue across his blood red disk. Thus have we lain night after night, (two con genial spirits who could draw pleasure from sub lime contemplation,) and descanted on our own insignificance; we have closely drawn our butlialo robes about—talking of the ills of life—of the friends we had lost—of projects that had failed— of the painful steps we had to retrace to reach our own dear native land again; we have sighed in the melancholy of twilight when the busy winds were breathing their last; the chill of sable night was hovering around us, and nought of noise tvtui heard but the silvry tones of the howling wolf, and the subterrancous whistle of the busy gophirs who were ploughing and vaulting the earth beneath us. Thus have wo seen wheeled down in the West, the glories of day, and in the next moment, in the East, beheld her silver majesty jutting up above the horizon, with glory in her face that seemed again to fill the world with joy and gladness. Wo have seen here, too, in all its sublimity,the blackening thunder storm—the lightning's glare, and stood amidst the jarring thunder bolts, that tore and broke in awful rage about us, as they rolled over the smooth surface, with nought but empty air to vent their vengeance on. There is a sub lime grandeur in these scenes as they are present ed hero, which must be seen and felt to be under stood. There is a majesty in the very ground that we tread upon, hat inspires with awe and rever ence, and he must have the soul of a brute, who could gallop his horse for a whole day over swells and terraces of green, that rise continually ahead, and tantalize (where hills peep o'er hills and Alps on Alps arise) without feeling his bosom swell with awe and admiration, and himself, as well as his thoughts, lifted up in sublimity when he rises the last terrace and sweeps his eye over the wide. spread, blue and pictured infinity that lies around and beneath him. Man feels here, and startles at the thrilling sen sation, the force of illimitable freedom—his body and his mind both seem to have entered a new element--the former as free as the very winds it inhales, and the other as expanded and infinite as the bottlenose imagery that is spread in distance around him. Such is (and it is feebly told) the Coteau du Prairie. I sit here day after day, un der the shade of my rote, adding rapidly to the bulk of my manuscripts,'which I already begin to fear the world will say are spun out . too long, and with too much of poetry about them I said in my former letter that the Indian muse dwelt here, and I have learned since that there is poetry in the very air of this place. So there aro song, paint ings, and eloquence, and the soul that is suscepti ble cannot avoid the inspiration. One thinks and writes here as he dreams—quick as lightning, and the very atmosphere is charged with subjects fresh and novel, almost to explosion. The very rock oft which I sit to write, is the summit of a preci pice 30 feet high, extending two miles in length, end polished as if a liquid glazing had been pour ed over its surface. By my side, in the solid rock aro the deep impressed footsteps of the "Great Spirit," (15 inches in length, in the form of the track of a large bird) where he formerly stood when the "blood of the buffalo that ho was devour ing ran into the rocks and turned them red! At a few yards from me leaps a beautiful stream, from the top of the precipice, into a bottomless basin below. Here, amid rocks of the loveliest hues but wildest contour, is seen the poor Indian performing ablution; and at a little distance be 4ond, on the plain at the base of three huge gran ite boulders, he is humbly propitiating the guardi an spirits of the place, by sacrifices of tobacco, en treating for permission to take away a small piece orred clay for a pipe. Farther along, and over an extended plain, aro seen hie gophirhills, their lex cavations, anc.le. ft and recent, where the thousand slates and rocks t strew the surface preserve their countless s ulptured hien)glyphies—their wacons, totems and medicine—subjects endless for the antiquary or the merely curious: Graves, 'Mountie, and ancient fortifications also that lie in sight.---as wall as woman's limits—the pyramid or leaping-rock and its legends, together with tra ditions, novel and numerous, and a description, graphical and geological, of this strange place,have all been subjects that have passed rapidly through my contemplation. All these things I have long Mire penned off a'ad sent to you, and 1 have since been dipping, my pen deeper into the arcane of their medicine or mysteries, and mythology which will be forthcoming anon. If the epistles above alluded to (and there was a pretty large package of them) have never arrived to your hands, which I think is probably the case, they have most assuredly been stopped and pilla ged by the bronzed pirates who occupy the plains between this and SL Peters. If such would prove to be the case, I will try to save the world from the loss by transcribing my notes again as soon as possible, and send them to you. I have grounds for apprehension that such has been the fate of my package, for I have just been told by Indians arriving, that a conspiracy was maturing among the Sioux between this place and the fills of St. Anthony, for the purpose of making US feel their vengeance on our return, for having dared to make sacrilegious tresspass on this hallowed ground.— (Hereby hangs a tale, and it may as well be told now as ever, perhaps.) I'll touch upon it lightly, however, and if mine epistles (in which it was fully detailed, and in which all the incidents of our journey were put down) dot come to light, I shall write it over again, with all the minutbe, for they are all worth knowing. On our way to this place we were stopped and imprisoned by a rascally band of the Sioux, and held in durance vile for having dared to approach the sacred fountain of the pipe ! While we had halted at the trading hut of "Le Blanc," at a place called Traverse des Sioux, on the St. Peter's Riv er, and about 15 miles from the Red Pike, a murky cloud of (lark visaged warriors and braves commenced gathering around the house, closing and cramming all its avenues, when one began his agitated and insulting harangue to us, announ cing to us in the preamble that we were prisoners and could not go ahead. About a dozen of them spoke in turn, and we were doomed to sit nearly the whole afternoon, without being allowed to speak a word in our behalf until they had all got through. We were compelled to keep our seats like culprits, and hold our tongues till all had brandished their fists in our films, and vented all the threats and invective which could flow from Indian malice, grounded on the presumption that we had come to trespass on their dearest privi- lege, their religion. There was some allowance to be made, and some excuse, surely, for the rashness of these poor fellows, and we felt disposed to pity rather than resent, though their unpardonable slubbornesm excited us almost to desperation. Their supersti tion was sensibly touched, for we were persisting in the most preremptory terms, in the deterouna tion to visit this, their great medicine (mystery) place: where, it seems, they had often ~esolved in national council no white man should ever be al lowed to go. They took us to be "officers sent by government to see what this place was worth," &c. "As this red stone was a part of their flesh, it would be sacrilegious for white men to touch or take it away—a hole would be made in their flesh and the blood could never be made to stop run ning." My English companion and myself were here in a fix, one that demanded the use of every energy we had about us; astonished at so unex_ pected a rebuff, and more than ever excited to go ahead and see what was to be seen at this strange place; in this emergency we mutually agreed to go forward, even if it were at the most imminent haz ard of our lives, and never to retreat one foot un til we had reached the spot. We agreed to hinge our lives on the event. It therefore gave us good opportunity of hearing and making speeches— of hearing threats and making them—of drawing out, in a manner that we could not otherwise have done it, all the traditionary superstitions and ma_ sonry of this strangest of all places, and of learning much at the same time of the true feelings and impulses which actuate the savage heart. The speeches made pro-necessisate libertatis, and eon. will be given at large in a few days, and the manner in which we released ourselves from them, and carried our points on our course to the stone quarry. In short; we gained our point at last, (or rather assumed it,) by going ahead, and defying all threats, and entreating them to put them into execution, and after passing several other villages to whom they had sent runners ahead of us, with orders to arrest us, we at length reached the place of our destination in safety, which has more than answered here, in interest and picturesque beauty, all of our sanguine expec tations, and richly repays us for a toilsome and expensive summer campaign. At the date of this letter we are about to with draw ourselves from this truly romantic and clas sic ground and wend our way back again, which will be long and tedious, and perhaps sabject us to farther difficulties with the wronged and out raged people, of whose superstitions I have just been speaking. The trophies that we could bring from the in imitable workings of nature in this variegated stone were few, but beautiful beyond description, some of which, if we are not robbed of thorn on our way back, will compose an interesting part of my cabinet—a splendid necklace for my wife, and a snuff box for my old friend Dr. Graham. This is the last epistle I shall write from the t‘Red Pipe Stone," as we are on the eve of bidding it adieu, but if any thing should arrive, bearing date at the same place, (and it is highly probable that such may be the case) I wish them to be con sidered as genuine, though as having been "tills sent and forwarded."

ESTEEMED FRIEND, TUOMAS JEFFERSON: I have for yeari, at times, felt an affection to wards thee, with a wish for thy salvation, viz. the attainment, while on this stage of time, in the natural body, of a suitable portion of Divine Life, for otherwise we knoW little more than the life of nature, and therein arc in danger of becoming in ferior to tho beasts that perish, in consequence of declining the offers of divine life made to every rational being; but, I have long had better hope of 'thee, and have thought, particularlY in our little quiet meeting of yesterday, that "thou bast been faithful at least in a few things," and wish thou mayest be made ruler over more, "and enter into the joy of our Lord, and into his rest." And it occurred that in order thereto, we should become christians, for "lie that bath not the spirit of Christ, is none of his." And this knowledge and belief is strongly insisted on, I think, by divers of the Apostles, who had pcniOnally seen, and were eye witnesses of his majesty, particularly in the Mount, and of others who had not that view, which how uver was insuffiCient to perfect them, and was to ho taken away, that they might be more. effectually turned to that spirit which leadeth into all truth, GEORGE CATLIN whose power alone is able to reduce the spirit of nature to suitable silence and submission. (Signed) WILLIAM CANBY. 8 month 29th, 1813. Copy of Thomas Jricrson's Letter in reply Si have duly received your favor of Au gust 29th, and am sensible of the kind feelings from which it flows, and truly thankful for them, the more so, as they could only be the result of a favourable estimate of my public course, during a long life, as much devoted to Study, as a faithful transaction of the trust committed to me would permit. No object has occupied more of my considera tion, thnn our relation with all the beings around us; our duties to them, and our future proipects. After hearing and reading every thing, Which probably can be suggested concerning these, have formed the best judgment I could, as to the course they prescribe, and in due observance of that course, I have no recollection which gives me uneasiness. An eloquent preacher of your Society, Richard Mott, in a discourse of much unction and pathos, is said to have exclaimed aloud to his congrega tion, that he did not believe there was a quaker o i presbyterian, methodist, or baptist in hertivii.; having paused to give his audience time to stare and to wonder, he added, that in heaven, God knew no distinction, but considered all good mop as his children, and as brethren of the same famili. I believe with the quaker preacher, that he who strictly observes those moral precepts in which all religions concur,will never be question'd nt the gates of heaven as to the dogmas in which all ditfer;— that on entering there, all these are left behind us; and the Aristides' and Catos, the Penns and Til lostons, presbyterians and papists will find them selves united in all principles which are in concert with the reason of the Supreme Mind. Of all the systems of morality, ancient or modern, which have come under my observation, none appears to the so pure as that of Josus;—he who follows this steadily, need not, I think, be uneasy, al though he cannot comprehend the subtilities and mysteries erected on his doctrines, by those who, calling themselves his especial followers and fa vourites, would make him conic into the World to lay snares for all understandings but theirs Their metaphysical heads usurping the judgment-gem of God, denounce all his enemies who cannot per ceive the geomatrical logic of Euclid in the Dem onstrations of St. A thanasius; that three are one, and one is three, and yet the three is not one, nor the one three. In all essential points, you and I arc of the saihe retigon; and I am too old to go into enquiries and charges, as to the unessential. Repeating, there fore, my thankfulness for the kind concern you have been so good as to express, I salute you with friendship and brotherly love.

EDITOR—Man can in no way moro effec tually serve his fellow men, than by raising him out of Ignorance to walk in the light of Knowl. edge—thus fitting him for enjoyments that colt be hoped for from no other source. And there is no higher renown than to have been a benefactor of our race At the present day, an effort is almost every where making to raise Man to the condition his CREATOR intended him to occupy. Schools are provided for the young of every degree ; the chit. dren of the rich man and the poor man meet to gether on the level of equality. Poverty is no longer an inseparable bar to the education of the children of the indigent. Wise and benevolent Legislators• have introduced a System int• our State,and incorporated it with our imritutions, by which the blessings of Knowledge are offered to all, "without money and without price" This system promises not only to elevate the individual, but also to advance the social and political condi lion of our citizens, and secure the permanency of our present form of government. But while these provisions are made for tho young ; while the rising and future generations aro to reap the advantages of knowledge, the act ing generation, the benefactor of the others, was born too soon for its blessings. But that genera. lion which has dune so much for the ages that are to come, should do something for itself. It is true, that it cannot fling off the heap of years that time has pressed upon it ; ago and ripe manhood cannot strip themselves of their appropriate gar ments, and cluthe themselves in the habiliments of youth; but age and manhood may make use of the time which is left. This, in very many places, they are doing by the erection of SOCIE- TIES and LYCEUMS, where past deficiencieii are supplied by present diligence. Tho object of this communication is to incite the Citizens of this Borough and County to emu late the example that has been set them in other places—to establish a Lyceum or other Society for the diffusion of useful knowledge. At this time, branches of Science, which, until within a few years, were mere speculative theories, have boon reduced to perfect system, and promise to be of immense practical benefit. Such was GEOLO GY, until very recently. For ages Geology was one of the catalogue of Sciences, but it was made subservient to no better purpose than that of scep ticism and infidelity; but in later years, it has been made use of to point out to its inhabitants the groat mineral riches of the earth. Geology is not ono of those branches which the ordinary understanding cannot comprehend with out long previous preparation and acquaintonco with other sciences. It is true, that it presents to our contemplation many astonishing phenome na, but those are not explained by mathematical calculation and demonstration as aiolistronomi calyhenomcna,but are understood by obsolvation. Such limits as I have defined for myself in this communication, will not permit me to speak of the wonders disclosed by Geological rcience,or of the advantages which it promises to every part of the country; tior have I time to explain all the bene fits that might' - result from a society having for its object tho diffusion of useful knowledge. I shall only add, that such a society would open the way to many improvements and advantages—and sug gest tho call of a County or Town meeting, to form a Society for such a purpose. that NEw!--Tlto Oliva Branch states that a proposition has been maittqor "Congress of Churches," made up of representatives froniall the different sects in the United States, which shall hold a session in some central place, for the purpose of adopting measures for the consolidation of all sects into one.

On the 14th the American brig Banian, loaded with Turkish produce for Boston, sot sail, and got beyond the Castle, when she was forcibly boarded by a French man of war's boat. An officer and several men, armed, said they were in search of two deserters, whom they suspected to be on board, and, notwithstanding that Captain InfYlee assu red them on his word of honor that there were no such men in his ship, the French commenced a strict search, and not sec ceeding in finding the deserters, the officer ordered the American Captain to return to Smyrna. On this the American hauled down his flag, abandoned his vessel, and the French brought her to an anchor between the Castle and the town. Captain Inaleu then went on shore and made his protest.

A letter received from Canton,.boai Mg. date the 19th May, contains an aertaint of a gallant action with a large fleet of pirates, and their defeat. The chief officer opposed to these savages was Lieut. Elliot, who holds rank in the Spanish Colonial Marine. The gallantry of this engagement, we should say, was never surpassed in the annals of naval war f►re. He was cruising in a government Fabra, (a large open boat,) with a crew of 43, all told: armed with one largo brass gun in the bow, (an 18 or 24 pounder,) four swivels on the stern, and small arms. The boat pulled twenty-six oars. Passing round a point of land between Cape Capones, and Corregidore, he sudden ly found himself almost in the midst of twenty six double-banked Malay Pirate Proas, each containing about forty men.— The moment Elliot saw the enemy, he, with great courage and coolness, gave the word "ready for action," which was promptly obeyed by his Togolese crew. The long gun was quickly double-shotted with grape, without stopping the boat's way, and when within hail, the pirate chief, (a renagado,) who led the van—or rather the horn of a crescent, (for they were moving to surround the gallant boat,) hailed Elliot, and said—"lf he was a brave man he would fight:" doubting what Elliot would do. "Then the gallant Elliot flush'd To anticipate the scene; And his boat the fleeter rusti'd O'er the deadly space between;" And when almost in contact fired his bow gun; the aim was r,o good and the effect so deadly, that the pirate chief's boat, with her crew, immediately sunk. Without los ing way, on went Elliot over the wave, which bubbled over the sunken proa,towards the so -endchief's proa, and when with bow. split almost over her, firing: and "It was but one moment of stir and commotion, Then down she went, like a bird of the ocean." The remaining twenty-four Proas, seeing the sudden and unexpected destruction of their chiefs, fled. They rather out pulling him, but not so fast as to escape about sixty. two rounds of shot, mostly grape. As most of them pulled away with single banks only, it is probable the havoc amongst them had been great. When Elliot's shot could no longer reach them, be repaired to a creek, and there refitted, and then returned to Cor• regidore; but although he passed over the waters where the battle had been taught, No vestige of the strife was there The fight continued about three hours. The Falwa had two men killed, and twelve wounded, two since dead. In the early part of the action, the four swivels rebounded from their pivots and were lost. When the particulars of the action were reported to the Governor, he immz!,hately made Elliot a Cale c, and gave him a cross of honor. The petty officers !01(1 crew have been rewarded, and the families of the killed will be provided for by the Manilla government. The disparity of force in this orlon] is amazing; one hoot and forty three men, op posed to twenty si; ho:iis and upwards of a thousand meol—and th..se moo wore Ma lay's, Renegadnes, and Pirates: -a race and kind of men whose rerocity and desperate determination are tmequallA. This is an instance of what a leading, a master-mind, can do; for all the credit of fightina the ac tion is duo to Elliot: and although the gal lant Togalase bravely seconded him, had he fallen, can the.. be a doubt of a thil:rent result?

The shipping in harbor was crowded with men, women and chil dren, for protection. As the progress of the Carlists had been marked by every es• cess, and as they wreaked their vengeance more particularly upon those places which had proclaimed the- constitution or were in favor of it, the inhabitants of Malaga had every reason to fear the worst consequences, should the Carlisle enter the city. Every preparation was making to defend the place. About 5090 militia were carolled,. but had no leaders in whom they had confidence; consequently, great alarm existed and busi ness was at a stand.

We a long time since prophecied that not ano ther hostile gun would be fired in Texas; and as yet. we have lost no faith in our pro phetic gill as to this particular. The papers containing the particulars of their newly organized congress, furnish no matter of great public interest, the members as yet being engaged in regulating the minutia of matters of order and etiquette, prior to entering upon their more serious deliberations- Santa Ana is still in con . - tinenient, which is rumored to be not so rigid as of late, there being on foot some measures preparatory to his release. Should it be true, and ho is to be released, Texas should require something in the way of a ransom, to enable her to discharge spme of the heavy liabilities incurred by her belli gerent operations. The vacancy as Commander in Chief, occasioned by the election of General Hous ton to the presidency, wine filled it is said by one of the three candidates, Generals Thomas Rusk, Green or Felix Houston. From all that we can hear and read of the initiatory operations of the Texians in their governmental concerns, we are indu ced to believe that they enter upon their now and untried career, with as much of the requisite ability and honest sincerity of pur pose, as any people ever did, and with suffi cient to enable them to take their indepen- dent stand among the sovereignties of the earth. DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. Departure of the Mexican Envoy. Signor GOIIORTIZA has embarked for Mexico, with all the members of the 'Ligation.

The note of Mr. Dickens has left him no hope.

YORK, Nov. 16. A STortat.—On Friday night last this region wns visited by a tremendous storm of wind and rain—thunder and lightning.— Through the early part of the week the weather had been clear, warm and delight ful. On Friday morning it began to rain, the atmosphere' being very sultry. Towards 10 o'clock at night it became very dark, and when the mi 'night watches came on, the demons of the storm revelled in all their fiery. The winds blew—the rain descend ed in torrents—the lightnings flashed with blinding vividness, and the thunder rolled long, dee') and ten i fie over the vaulted arch of the sky. Dwellings were rocked to their foundations, and "Nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep," fled from the anxious eye and the affrighted heart. "The boldest held his breath For a time." We have heard of a serious loss occa sioned by tho storm. Margaretla Furnace, in Windsor township, owned and conducted with great enterprize by Messrs. H. Y SLAYTIA KEU & Co. was struck by the light• ning and the casting and bridge house were burned to the ground. A heavy shower which followed saved the Warehouse and the nioner , ais other buildings, dwelling i wa se,4, &r. which throng the busy urea around the furnace.

Various and discordant themes have been formed and published, to account for these shooting stars, as they are commonly denominated. One of these theories make them Asteroids, and contend for their annual return. In a Now Orleans paper, "The Times," public • attention is called to the heavens on the night of the 12th and 13th of this month. A look Into the heavens, on a clear night is always rewarded, even if nothing else ap• pears but "The Eternal Lamps," the steady members of the upper regions? therefore we add our recommendation to that of the New Orleans writer, though we differ in tote from the opinion which gives a planetary character to those scintilating sparks. We may, however, remark, that their non-ap pearance at any given place, affords no con elusive proof of their non existence, as they may pass over in daylight. Those of 1833 were seen on so wide an angle of the sphere, as tn render their passage necessarily visi ble front some part of the earth.—'Time and more accurate observation, will change by pothesis to science, on this as on all other subjects, adequately axe mined. The phenomenon of the morning of No• 'vember 13, 1833, was visible along the .-.. - i - 4tistern coast of N. A. from the Gulf of 'Mexico to Halifax', from 9 in the evening of the : 2th, to sun rising of the 13th, and it is said that in some places was visible after sun rising ti' 9 in the morning. 1799, a sonilar phenomenon was seen in Aim -ilea by if. de Humboldt; in Green land by the \ loravian Bretheren; and in Gernitny by divers persons; and also in the 'night between the 11th and 12th of No• vember. The evidences of such appearan• ces in the heavens between the 10th and 15th of November of each year are so nu• merous as to demand attentive observation from all who are so situated as to give at• tention to the "WoNrinFur. WORKS OF GOD." 'rho Tennessee Legislature adjourned on the 26th ult.--They passed a law to secure 10 the State her proportion of the surplus i i.evenue of the United States.

VERY LIKE A " HOAX," MY LORD! %Vito WILL BE PIiESIDENT7—We have heard a very singular question tnooted as to the prospects of Van Buren upon the presidency. In the present state of the election returns it is yet doubtful whether he can bo elected by the colleges. Van must receive the votes of New Jersey, Virginia, and Indiana, in full, to give him a majority. Should either of these states falter, and ttie proba bility is that all will, if we are to judge of the existing tone of public feeling from what we nlready know, then will Van be only eligible as a candidate before the House of Representatives. But this is not all his difficulty. - Grange is a candidate for the Vice Presidency. He comes from tho same state that Van Buren does. If, therefore, Van Buren is not elect. I ed by the people, the electoral colleges op posed to Van may concentrate their votes on Granger, and elect him to the Vice Presidency. This act performed will, under the terms and spirit of the Constitution, en tirely disqualify Van Buren from ever reaching the House of Representatives— for the Constitution expressly says that the "President and Vice President shall not come from the same state." The fact, there. fore, of Granger being elected by the peo ple Vice president, effectually bars the door upon Mr. Van Buren, and sends him back to Kinderhook without even a chance of success.—N. Y.

"The Texian privateer Thomas Toby (late Dokalb) Hoyt, commander, has been cruising off the ports of Vera Cruz, Sisal, Campeachy, Matamoras and Ta m pic o,si nce the first week in October, and had captured, about the 12th inst. a Mexican schooner, and sent her into Texas.

The comman der of the privateer soon after transmitted a challenge to the commandant of Tampico, requesting a meeting with any armed Mexi can vessel which might be in port; but re. ceiving no answer within a reasonable time, she stood off, and spoke the Louisiana, do terininod to capture all Mexican property that she fell in with.

Till: Pa Ess, beyond a doubt, is the grand levet which now moves the intellectual world. Among ivilizrd nations, public opinion bows so submis ively to no other power, even despots reverence its voice, and demagogue:4 tremble at its frown. Of course, it may be an instrument either of good or of evil—an !Outliers spear of truth, or a Sorcerer's delusive wand. The obstinate defender of exploded doctrines and the wild propagandist of the latest theory alike make this their weapon of attack and defence; and by its means may the friend of truth most succeSsfully refute error and disseminate the pure principles of right 'reason. In one of these ways, we may rest assured, it will be employed; for never can it be fettered or ' silenced, and thus will the world continue to read and be ruled by its reasonings. In the present state of society, books, periodicals, magazines and newspapers may be reckoned among the necessaries of life, for which the appetite and demand are be coming alike universal. Is it not,then incalculably important that a proper direction be given to this feeling, so that it may be productive of all the bene fits which it promises? _ We have long believed that the weekly news paper might assume a character somewhat different from that which it has usually had—that it might be made to come more 'lonia to the bosoms and business of men—that its interest might be deep ened—its moral tone elevated—its usefulness ex tended far beyond its present limits. Desirous of contributing somewhat to the fur therance of such an object, we propose Publishing a weekly journal under the above title. TUN bus will endeavor to keep constantly in view and stead fastly advocate the objects to whichit is professedly devoted. Regarding virtue as the surest source of individual happiness and national prosperity, we shall endeavor to illustrate its principles and en force its precepts. Laboring fur "the many," we shall offer to the people the - Key of knowledge, that they may thus keep in their own hands that power which will otherwise ere long glide from them into the hands of "a few." Looking at all useful labor as not only • the true foundation of wealth, but also honorable—discoveries and im provements in the arts, agriculture and kindred subjects, will claim a due share of our attention. Whilst we aim at combining "the useful with the agreeable," we hope to avoid the danger of dulness, on the one hand, and that of pandering to the corrupt taste, on the other. Studiously abstaining from party politics, we shall think it our duty to discuss important points of policy. We shall also attempt to give an. im partial account of domestic as well as of foreign affairs. With this brief exposition of their views and plans, the Editors throw themselves upon the in dulgence of a discriminating public,. pledging themselves, if they meet with encouragement, to render the work worthy of patronage.

Tim op. orations of this Instiaierion commence Under very flattering prospect/. The number of Studonte, who are wait log to enter it, is much larger than its most sanguine frirnds could have enticipitted. And the Trustees feel themselves happy in hay ing secured the services of gentlemen, as Profos. sore, combining a high degree both of talent and attainment. Entire mill• once may therefore be reposed in the competency of the Instruction', who have been appointed to their respective de parLnents in the Institution. And it is the de sign of ,the Trurters to increase the, °umber of Professors as the wants of the Instii,ution may require, and no soon as the necessary arrange. stunts can be made. The gentlemen who can. pose the Faculty of the Colleee at present are, Rev. F. A. RAUCH, D. P. President and Profes sor of the Hebrew, Greek, end Geman lan. gusges; and Literature, and the Evidences of Christianity. S. W. BUDD, Jr ' M. A. Professor of Mathe matics and Natural Philosophy. Roy. J. F. BERG, A. M. Professor of the Lat i n and Greek languages and Bells Letters.

GOOD has been chosen by the . 'Faculty as Rector of the Preparatory School, connected with the College, and under the immo dlato inspection and assistance' of the Faculty, and in which every branch of Science and Liter ature is-Wight necessary fin the admission of students into the College, or for those pursuits and occupations for which their parents or guar. diens may design them.

Parents and Guardians may fool, confident that a vigilant attention will bo bestowed to the mor. als, habits and mannors of the Students while connected with the College. The location of_ Marahall College is peculiarly , favorable for such an Institution. The town of Mercersburg is in gonerni remarkably healthy. It stands in the great Cumberland Valley, and is . surrounded by a futile and well cultivated country, with a rango of lofty mountains at some miles distanco on eithoir side, mountain and vale preventing a scenery at ono striking and boatt- Under the .impression that the Trustoos of this infant Institution can, in good faith invite pnblio attention to it as a seat of sound and thorough Literatnro, Marshall Collego is moat cordially roconnnonded to the American community, and especially to tho Gorman part of that community for whoso benefit it is especially founded, ac justly meriting in the opinion of its founders, public confidence, and a cordial general patronage.

RICE, Prea'S. of the Board of Trustees. Oct. 26, 1836.[N0v. 21.] St-34 PROSPECTUS OF THE dlntiallte,sonic State Democrat PUI3I.ISIIED ONCE A WEEK. THE Editor of the "ANTI•MAsorno STATE Dr:x(lc RAT " intends to give full week ly reports of Legislative Proceedings the ensuing session; but in order to enable him to do so it will be necessary to incur a heavy additional expense. He would therefore respectfully solicit a generous public, and particularly the supporters ofGeneral HAR RISON, to extend their patronage to him more largely than he has hitherto enjoyed it. He is grateful for past encouragement, and believes he has given evidence of this by his zeal and efficacy in advancing the cause of the Hero candidate and ofconstitu tional government and freedom. An addi tional supply of means to conduct his opera tions will act as a stimulous to redoubled exertions in support of the cause in its further progress, and in opposition to the alarming doctrines and designs of the Federal Van Buren party. Ho can only further add,that his political feelings and principles have hitherto been developed in the language of a FREE REPUBLICAN boldly, in conformity to strict truth, both in regard to the cause of the people and the candidate who fought for their rights and liberties, and to•that of the office holders and the candidates round whom they are rallied for the retention of place'and power.
