BAUGHER, I JAMES BELL, Jr. J s catty the following, it will be seen that what wo foretold of the object of Henry Clay's visit to the North was correct. The &sign of the trip, was to secure 'the support of the State of Now York, in the National Convention. His ..curiov ity" to sae the falls of Niagara &c. is too thin a cloak to conceal the real object .of the trip. By his speech at 'Buffalo, it will he seen, that ho, ungenerously, wishes to reap tho fruit of tho victory, which the popularity of his rival, Gen. Harrison, had so nearly achieved at the last Pres idential Election. The .-honoMble discharge" which Clay speaks of in his speech, is that ho will he willing to be discharged after he has been again run fur the Presidency. Yes; after that, his friends will give him up. Ho and they will have been taught o lesson, which will, perhaps, be beneficial to other aspirants, who wish to thrust themselves miens miens upon the people. Mr. Clay is not certain of the veto of a single free State. He is the darling of the Slaveholders; they rely on him; and he on them. Lot the free laborer consider hieinrcreste, and when the time comes act understandingly in regard to them. • From the Rochester Democrat Recepllon of 4111 r. Clay in Buffalo. As I advised you in my last, at 9 o'clock this morning, a procession oftitizens upon horseback and in carriages,was formed near the, park in Main street, to proceed to Black Rock to escort Henry Clay, the distinguish ed orator and statesman, into the city of Buffalo. The notice was brief, but never thelesa the procession was large, cot.- gusting' of a nunikair upon horseback, and about seventy five or a hundred catriges. Mr. Clay was staying at the old resid ence of Gen. P. B Porter, now occupied by ,Lowis F. Allen, from whence, under the escort of the procession, he proceeded to Buffalo, through the principal streets to the the Park, where a platform had been raised for the occasion. The large Park was filled With thousands of the citizens •of Buffalo and the adjoin ing towns, and I Was really delighted with the enthusiasm which the ladies evinced— hundreds of them king on the ground. Perhaps a greater concourse had never been congregated upon any previous occasion in this city. 'Cho welcome, by Recorder Stow, was very appropriate and eloquent. tie' allud ed to the vat bees services of the distinguish ed guest—spdko of his aitaohnieut to the s:euntryr--his long tried and sterling patrin. iism—his services at' Ghent—his course in relation to internal improvements, and to thauulactures—and alluded particularly to his measure ereompromise and to his Land Bill—every item of which was enthusiastic ally responded to by the assembled multi tude. The reply was worthy of the heart of henry Cloy. and the eloquence of the Ora-. for of the West. I have every .word of it, but cannot give it you all before my return. I will subjoin, hoWever, the opening, and so much o. the CIOSCI as relates to the position of the speaker and the duty of the party with which he nets. Mr Clay said- 7 Fellow citizens, the jour ney which has placed me amongst you was commenced to afford me an opportunity. which I have never enjoyed, hut which i have long wished to eirjoy,3o visit this, in• wresting portion of our common country. It was beonn with no desire on my pail, to lion, public feeling, to attract public atter] lion, or to be the cause of any iiemonstra- Lon. I anticipated it is true, and take pleasure hero to acknowledge it, to meet with iudicationa of frienthip and flattering considerations ; yet although 'it was my wish to have passed on quietly, without pa iade or any ostentatous display, my heart hnnot but .ippreciato the rnamicstations of i4ard"w bath has been evinced towards th -fitii ticaOlifill City of the Lakes. 1 leilow citizens, I th..ult you ftaittlytbr them all. Ceeded, to detail the events *KO hive itc; dile(' the last war alluded to the prosperity of ih - e country—lts present tranqUility, &c, and closed this division of his .remarks; by se% ing that "this satiable. tion would be complete if we were not eom pelled to remember that there 3et remains one violation of our territory—the destruction of the Caroline—yet unatmed for." The thousands, at this remark, broke out into one universal and spontaneous huzza— clearly demonstrating, ' that however the goverment may neglect its defence of the honor of the country, the people will not. In closing the very few remarks which he made upon politics, lie said : "Those who are opposed to the alarming and ex travagant expences of the public moneys— and who are alarmed at the fearful rapidity with which things in this country are verg ing towards aristocracy and monarchy— constitute a large majority, of the People of the United States. If in the coming contest, they are defeated, they will not be defeated by the virtue of the principles of those who oppose them. If disaster and defeat rest upon our cause, it will be beetiuse of our divisions. Our divisions constitute our weakness, and form the strength and hopes of our opponents. And if we have been contending for principles—principles which are eternal, which outlive short lived beings—should we not deserve eternal re proach, it in our contest for men we sacrifice our country, its constitution and its liberties? Fellow citizens, if the individualwho now ad dresses you—if I am an obsticle in the way of perfect harmoy and union away with me, and fix upon some individual more likely to consolidate the friends of the Union. I have long expressed a desire to retire from public life. I still entertain that desire: and I shall carry out that desire when I can do so with honor to myself and in con sistency with the duties which 1 owo to my country. No veteran soldier covered with scars and wounds ever recieved his dis charge with more pleasure than I should tnine were I permitted to retire. But I think that like him, I am entitled to an honorable discharge."- County Commit' From the 'Terre-Haute ludinna Courier We rejoice to know that the Whigs of Indiana are neither to be cajoled or driv. on into the support of Mr. Van Boren. They have too lively a re:i.embrance of his political profligacy, both past and present . On the other hand, why should they desert Gen. Harrison, or abandon their first choice for the Presidency 1 He stands as fair as he did in 1836 as honest-- as pure, and as much beloved. The vulgar abuse of the Van Buren papers, nor yet the potential Ad dress of the "Central Committee," has not been able to move one man from his stead fast support. His eharaeter es a soldier and statesman is too firmly established to re quire any labored defence, and especially against the open slanders of his political en emies. But, if defence is necessary, we have the materials for that 'defence at hand. We have the testimony of the pure and up right Madison—of the gallant Col. It. M. Johnson—of the lamented. Joe Daviess ; finally, of the members of the U. States Senate; and might add a hest of others, it lour space would permit. Reader, when you peruse the above extrict from the Ad dress of the Van Buren Central Committee ask yourself if its statements can be true 7 and then turn for a response to the follow ing testimony : President Madison. vs. The Van Buren Cent. Committee. "The succebs on Lake Erie having open• ed a passage to the territory of the enemy, Gen. Harrison commanding the Northwes tern Army, transferred the war thither, and rapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with their savage associates, forced a gen eral ac:ion, which quickly terminated in the capture of the British, and the dispersion of the savage force. This result is signal ly honorable to Major General Harrison, by whose military talents st was prepared, and to the spirit of the volunteer ' militia, equally brave and patriotic, who bore an in tereating part in the scene."—Jas. Madison. Col. R. M. Johnson, vs. The Van Buren Cent. Committee. "Of t! - .0 career of Gon. Harrison, I need not speak—the history of the West is his history. Fur forty years he has been identified with its interests, its perils and its hopes. Universally belayed Sri thy tvalks of peace and distinguished by his ability in the councils of his country, he has been yet more illustriously distinguished in the field• During the lute war, he was longer in ac tive service than any other general officer he was perhaps OFTNER IN • ACTION than any one of them, and NEVER SUS TAINED A DEFEAT."—Richard M. Johnson. Col. Jo. H. Davies:, vg. The Van Buren Cent. Committee. Extinct of . a letter from Col Diiviess. (who was killed at the battle of Tippecanoe,) August 24, 1811 : "1 make free to declare that I have im agined there were but two military men in the West, and Gen. HARRISON Is THE FIRST OF TILE TWO." The United Sta'es Senatk [ vs. The Van Buren Cent. committee. Resolution ofrered in the U. S. Senate, by Mahlon Dickson, (late Secretary of the Navy) and unanimously adopted by both Houses of Congress. "Resolved, That the thanks of Congress be and they are hereby presented to Major General WILLIAM HENRY HARRI SON, for his gallantry and good conduct, in defeating the combined British and In dian forces, under Major General Proctor, on the Thames, in Upper Canada, on the sth of October, 1839." The filllowinvonst was given at a Me hratien of the 4th at Canton, Ohio By H. Griswold—The white House u , Washington—Mny it nu longer be used as n Martin's box•" "The Union of the Whigs for We daily mere and more hope that this wise advice may be pursued. The indica tions of popular opinion come on us in floods;—they cannot be mistaken;—they must not be unheeded: Attempts to pro. occupy the nand -1 of the great Whig party with notions of the availability, or populari ty of Henry Clay, are mischevous, and will lead to a signal, di. graceful defeat. The namo of William Henry Harrison, is too firmly blended with the Presi lential contest which is be waged between the great imp sing parties of the Union. to be torn assim• der, or put aside. Beyond the numerical advantages of Mr. Clay in the cities, and some of the boroughs of Pennsylvania, he is decidedly—almost incredibly., in the voca tivo. lie cannot be forced upon the great majority of the grout Whig party of the State. They will not be harnassed. It is one article of the creed they have identi• fled with their eause,that they never will sub mit to the collar. They have spoken at var ious times, in regard to Mr. Clay as well as Gen. Harrison, and the results are on rec ord. The party can, and will, unite on Gen Harrison—but they cannot, and will not tolerate the distanced Henry Clay. The alternative seems fairly presented to the friends of M r. Clay, to sustain Gen Har risen and carry Pennsylvania, or adhere to Mr. Clay, and carry Mr. Van Buren Can they hesitate ? Will they falter 1 Where is the great compromiser? Mr. Clay can adjust the difficulties of Tara and Nalifica tion strugglers, to save his country—He can mediate to protect ;real interests, where ho sacrifices nothing, but wins popularity ; yet when he is called upon, by the exigen cy of the present schism, to net the practi cal. the sincere, the disinterested compro. miser, he is deaf to the peril which invakes the sacrifice, and cold to the sentiments and sense of duty which he has profess to feel. The subjoined editorial from the Somerset Herald, conies from a section of the State entitled to be heard and speaks a language incapable of being inisco strued or answered. It appears to be the determina'ion of a few of the friends of Mr. Clay; in and about the city of Philadelphia, to force his nomina• lion upon the people, whether they are wil hug to accept it or not. They are using their utmost exertions to get up a strong feeling in his favor, and their only aim seems to be his advancement, regardless of the means they must resort to, to acc.orn plish it. But it wont do. The people can, mot be driven into the support of Mr. Clay, or any other mon. They can think, spank and act for themselves and will do so, and will m►! be duped by intriguing, politicians whose practices seldom agree with their professions. We have reference to the edi• for of the United States Gazette, and some "kindred spirits." There is something that stimulates these "exclusives" to exert themselves in Air. Clay's behalf, and have no doubt they would be well rewarded by official flivourei in the event of his election, thouOt this is not the stimulant we have ieference to. But all their efforts are made in vain—their con tinual cry of Mr. Clay's„,"unbounded popu larity" and "the only available" will not have the effect to rally the people to his standard. In no contingency, can Mr. Clay get the vote of Pennsy Ivania, and without it he can have no hope of success. If it be asked, why cannot Mr. Clay. get this State 1 The reasons are at hand—they are obvious.— in many counties where there is a decided Anti Van Buren majority, he would either be beaten or the usual majority be reduced to a mere nothing, and, in others, where the contest is generally close, he would be left far in the rear. In no district could he receive a much larger majority than would be given to Gen. Harrison, or any other candidate. We can speak more especially of this county, than of any other, having a better knowledge of its politica, and we are not backward in asserting, that there are not at this time, fifty Clay men in 'lt. In no event, would this "Star of the West" give Clay a majority ; whilst it would give to Gen Harrison a majorit3 of not less than fourteen hundred. There is another, and a better reason than any we have given, for supposing or asserting, that this State would not go for Mr. Clay—it is this. The anti masons who constitute a majority of the Anti Van Buren pity, could not with any degree of consistency, or without a total abandon ment of their principles, give him their sup. port—this they cannot and will net do.— Neither will they turn their backs qn Gen. Harrison, who has the highest claim upon them, and who is identified as their, candi• date., Cure of Ilydrophob M. Buisson, a physician at P , a. recent publication, gives the follot count of his experience of hydropho, his mode of cure :—"M.

The Presidency he drunk with difficulty, and the sight of water was still more distressing tO than the pain in his throat. These symptoms recurred every five minutes, and it appeal ed to him as though the pain commenced in his affected finger, Ind extended thenee up to tho shoulder. From the whole of the symptoms he judged himstif affected with hydrophobia, and resolved to terminate his life by stifling himself in a - vapor bath. Having entered one for this purpose, he caused the heat to be raised to 1 uer 36' Fahrenheit, when he was equally surprised and delighted to find himself free of all complaint. He left the bathing room well, dined heartily, and drank more than usual. Since that time he says, he has treated more than eighty persons bitten, in four of whom the symptoms had declared themselv's and in no case has he failed, except in that of one child sever, years old who died in the bath. the mode of treatment he recom mends is, that the person bit should take a certain number of vapor baths (commonly called Russian,) and should induce every night a violent perspiration by wrapping himself in flannel, and covoreng himsolf with a feather bed ; the porspitation is favor ed by drinking freely of a warm decoction of sarsaparilla. lie declares he is so con vinced of the efficacy of this mode of tient - ment, that he will stiffer himself to be inoc culated with this disease. As a proof of the utillity of copious and continued respi ration, he relates the following anecdote A relative of the musician Gretry' was bit ten by a mad dog at the same time with many other persons, who all died of hydro phobia. For his part feeling the first sym• ptmns of the disease, he took to dancing night aim day, saying that lie wished to die gaily. Ile recovered. M. lluisson also cites the old stories of dancing being a rem• edy for the bite of a tarantula, and draws attention to the fact that the animals in whom the madness is more ,frequently found to diwelope itself spontaneously are dog:, wolves and foxes, which never perspire.— This latter is a very extraordinary fact.— Horses and cows have been frequently bit ten by mad dogs, and in a very few (isei have any of the symptoms of hydrophobia been manifested. alr. Webster—The Whig Party. We congratulate the whig party on the withdrawal of Mr. Webstei's name from the list of Presidential candidates. We look upon this as a most propitious event. If we had any d'iubt before of Mr. W. ac.cep- Gag the nomination for Vice President, that doubt would be removed by his withdraw ing from the Presidential list. With the aumnation for Vice President Mr. Wel) ter's friends we believe will be fully satis fied, and will now unite cordially with the friends of Gen. Harrison. The friends of Geri. H. can hardly desire—and if they do, where can they find—a person more com petent to fill or n ore worthy of the station, than Mr Webster. Here, then, we have two large branches of the whig party unit ed. The antirnasons too the abolitonists, the original Jackson men who have forsaken or who wish to forsake the administration party, and assist in effecting that reform which they vainly hoped would have been effected under Gen. Jackson's name. Where can they find better men than Harrison and Webster! With all these united, can it be supposed that Mr. Clay will suffer his name longer to distract the party 1 We cannot think it possible. Why should not every paper that sails under the Harrison flag at once add the name of Daniel Webster to its ticket 1 Stich a course, we believe, would soon heal the divisions in the whig party.

Union and Harmony. Wo aro pleased to see that the recommenduaan •of the Anti-masonic and Whig members of the ,Legislature, to hold a Convention in September next, is being generally responded to, throughout ..the State. Although, we, as Anti•masons havo -made our selection of candidates, for the Presidcn soy and Vice'Proaidancy, by which candidates, we mean to stand, through good report and evil re iport ; yet we cannot but feel anxious, as to the .result of the National Whig Convention,—and we consider it highly important that the motives and beta 'of -the Convention which Nominated .Gen. Harrison and .Daniel Webster, should be placed in a proper light. lithe motives and acts,of that Convention, had not been misrepresented end misconstrued we should not have hoard so much, about the exclusiveness and illiberallly of the Anti-masons. The nomination of these distin guished men, would-have been looked.upon in the ! proper light—as an act of cuncesston,•lntended to t promote ..Union.and Harmony," amongst all the •elements of the opposition to Martin Van Buren. We lento therefore, that every, county -in -the .Stato will be represented dn the proposed Conven tion ; and that after a full and fair interchange .of opinion, amongst all the opponents of Martin Van Buren, that the Whigs of this State will sot about to convince their brethren of the Union, that the nomination of !Gen. Burrison, by the Anti masons, was made io a spirit of concession and , compromise; that the war worn soldier and sage of North 13onil, is the only man who can unite - force sufficient, to expel from power, tint present dishonest and corrupt Administration, and that -ttlinion and Harmony" will be found under the -veteran's standard. Lot it 21110 be a part of the care of the Conven tion to correct the impression, .vo. traitorously propagated, namely, that Pennsylvania will vote for Van _Buren, even, _if Gen. Harrison be the candidate. REPORT Of the Committee, appointed by the Legislature, to examine the Gettys burg Extension of the Pennsylva nia Rail Road. We lust week noticed some of the oopinions" and "conclusions" of the committee of sots, sent by tho Legislature, to examine our Rail Road. These opinions and conclusions, wo have al •yeady shown to be absurd; wholly dictated by ( hostility to Adaruti Comity, aril fornied long be -I.oire.tho committee came hero upon their d runken We'shall now notice the remainder of the °NCI How I In what manner? Illegally I Lilt as have the answer. \Vito it by electioneering and voting for nu honest inao, in opliuritien to one who.° whole life turnishril tAideuce of personal dishonesty and unfitness, In every respect, for the office of Goverr.or ? Dul not their interference consist in their exercising their riglitiros freemen, in voting for the man of their choice?—This is their (ranee. If they had electioneered and voted for David R. Porter, there wnuld have been n , complaint of improper interference ; nor w.old the) have been "punished," end the CommiM wealth disgraced, by withholding Amu the con. tractois empleyed by it, the price of their labor. The allegation of the comiutttee, "that the Su perintendent raised the contractors prices, by a connivance et the provi,ions and injunctions of the law, and that the contractors, in turn taxed the men, engaged upon the work as laborers," is ut_ terly and unqualifiedly false, nod is directly and positively contradicted by the testimony of the witnesses examined before the committee. But no falsehood is too gross or too glaring for the them. Honesty, sobriety, truth 'and com mon decency, have been alike repudiated by the majority of the committee. But little else, how ever, could be eipected of the Mell who composed it—one of whom, on his way here, was driven from the !! , tage coach, on account of his brutal and indecent behaviour; and who lodged in a stable the first night after his arrival. His colleagues were worthy of their yoke fellow, and could be seen upon our streets of morning, during the in vestigation, holding up by the corners of hor ses, or, leaning upon a store-box, ridding them• selves, of the effects, of the debauches of the pre. cerliad A night. This is a disgusting picture and unfit for the public, but truth requires that it should be recorded. Such is the Committee upon whose testimony the state Agents aro to be con victed of fraud !! The statement of the committee, that the con. tractors taxed their hands, "a large proportion of their hard earnings to bet upon Mr. Ritner's elec tion &c," is likewise false. There wore instances, in wn:eh the hands made up ro mall sums to be betted on the election ; but it is false, that they wore ever hared n ceid. The statomeathat this system of taxation wag sometimes resisted by the hands, "and the money collected by our Bp, peal to law," is . tist as (Inc es the rest of the re_ port. It is tree that a mart by the name of Fox, who had authorized one of the contractors to bet tw.."‘tv dollars fur him on tle election of Mr. Rit ner, sued the coltractoi for his 'wages, and refused to permit the latter to r.l-off th e ,:mount which Fix bad authorized him to bet, and .0, - Lich 'Alto contractor had paid. This is the foundation' and the exploration of •the system of ei`tpressieE all 0 robbery," spoken of by the committee. But perhaps, of all the statements, made by the committee, that one is the falsest, ‘v hick declares that they "found much difficulty in arriving at the whole truth. relative to the offioial transaction's of officers upon the road, us many 'witnesses refused tie answer questions asked, and others positively refused to obey the summons of the committee ; while others left the State and wero not zvli that account, within the jurisdiction of the committee." lie the above statement there is riot ono word of truth ; it is utterly false from beginning to end. Ono of the Engineers, it is true, on being asked, a question not relative to the road. lent to his pri vate transactions and those of other individuals, protested against the right of the committee, to ask the question ; tendered a writtrti protest to which he denied the right of thc.committee, to investigate transactions, not in any wise connect-, ed with the road, or the conducting of the same ; t but which after denying their right to do so, pr(f fered to answer the question proposed. But the committee rallied to receive the protest and diet not again propose the question. This is the his tory of this charge. That any persen,re,fused to obey o.:e summons of the,conimittee to : attend. before them, as a wit ness, is also untrue, and the.:e imtnittee are chal lenged to name such persons. The statement, that others left the State, to avoid being brought I forward as witnesses, is a base oud malignant lie. If the charge be true the persons can he named. Let the committee make known mho they are that fled from responsibility. This will he an easy matter, if therobe any truth in the charge. Of ficially or unofficially, we call upon the members of committee, to name the individual who left the State, to avoid being brought before them, The charge, that the •coinnintee wore unable to Pad the books of the Superintendent sc. is as false as the lest; and indeed from beginning to end the report of the committee is a tissue of the vilest, and in manyinstances, of the nicest palpa ble and malignant falshoods. Little else could be expected from the abandoned reprobates who corn liesed the committee. The inajOrity were men w 11) were at once, a disgrace to the Legislature and he State, who have no claims to character and ;who have abandoned all the decencies of Such were the men, selected by the last Legisla. lure, to examine into the expediency.uf continu ing a work vvhichihad been before abandoned . on party grounds. We may have occasion to recur to this report and the committee which is the father of it hereafter. sidams County dlhend!

MR EDITOR : The subject settling a ticket is beginning to excite conside Able intereet in the country. It is ullowed on all hands, amongst our friends, that all the officers to be voted for, should be settled by the Con vention. But there has been some discus mon, whether the - Convention ought to be confined in its choice of candidates, to those who have announced themselves? For my own port I can see no reason why it should be bound to select from those, Nilo have announced themselves, to the ex elusion of those who have not. The ob ject of the Convention should be, to get the best men and most acceptable to the whole party. The whole power of selecting can didates is vested in the Convention ; it will represent the whole county, and should have the ~'tole county to select from. 1 Call see no difference between Prothonotary, Sheriff, Register, &c. and the other county officers. Beat it who can The mon who have offered themselves as candidates for the several offices are good men and true, and if I were a member of the Convention, I am free to confess that I would pick my candidates. front these who have already announced themselves ; but I would fecl under no obligation to do so, if worthier men or those better qualified could be found. Of course, any candidates who have of fired themselves, without subjecting them• selves to the decision of the C:onveation, will .tot be considered as before the Alai-mason is coilveution for a nomination, You will discover, therefore, Mr. Editor, that it is my opinion, that the Convention will be at liberty, and that it is proper for it to do so; to select candidates from any part of the county, wi:hout reference to the fact, wheth ur they have announced themselves or not ; nor can I see any good reason why a can. dictate wl.o has foiled in his Applicartan one office, should not be selected for another, provided lie Is qualified and his nomination would be . acceptiblo. FRANKLIN. M. Porter. COMMONI C A TIONI. For the Star 4 Banner. Sabbayi Schools. • Whilst upon a recent tour through the "Keystone State," I arrived one Saturday evening, at the pleasant village of - in the Eastern part of - churl tir.,and being taught from my infancy to re• vere the fourth commandment, I resolved to tarry until the emitting 'Monday before resuming my journey. Mit EDITOR: This village is beautifully situated upon the bank of a large creek, which bears the name it received from the aborigines of the country. Nature seems to have been very lavish in bestowing beauty and fertility upon the delightful spot in which the village ►s located. On the evening of my arrival I Was seated with one of the inhabitants of the place, engaged in conversation upon the early history of the village and the must striking reminiscences connected with its settlement; when of a sudden my ears were assailed with a terrific dim almost deafening. Upon enquiry into the source whence this horrible noise proceeded, my friend (for such I shall style him,) replied that it. was customory for a large number of children from five to fifteen years of ago to assemble at the house of a man, whose name I do not now recollect, to amuse themselves with every species of mirth and fun and re. fresh themselves with oysters and beer of which this man always kept an abundant supply. Without bestowing any further attention upon the subject. and being fatigued with travelling, I took leave of my friend for the night and retired to niy chamber, where I soon resigned myself to the tender embraces of Morpheus. On Sahhath morning after breakfasting, I inquired of “mine host" whether there were ally divine service in the village on that day, when to my astonishment and regrk I was answered in the negative. After ...me tilne, my friend of the prece• .ling uvening again joined me, and very kindly invited me to take a walk with him thr. ugh the village and the bank of the creek ;to which I readily assented. In passii,g along the street, my ears were again assailed with a noise similar to that rd the preceding oily (if poqsible) inure loud end demoniacal. Afier recovering somewhai from the consternation and hor ror s4ch as ton:gnat ()mamma natural ly e 7. :d.ll within toe, I again inquired of my lrieed the cause. lie tidd me the horse rn had jost pass-d, was the game from whence the noise of the preceding evening had proceeded. I turned bar k, when to my horror and astonishmein,l witnessed a scene ;thick, I tiurt, I shall never again contem plate. There were collected about fitly laws from five to fifteen years of age and :errs older, indulging in the neist immoral and degrading propensities of their natures. I aexionsly inquired of my friend, why those children were riot at schooll To which lie replied that there was none in the place. Imagine izi• surprise when he in form:-d run that some piously disposed and Gider individuals fr:mm.ly made an effort to establish a Sabbath School, which haz!, however, a. ftequently f. filed in c.mSequence of a gromulless and frivolous a!prebetisinn prevalent amongst same of the inhabitants, of a Union of Church and Stoto and .;:ther causes cqn d!y ridiculous and un • tenable. flow panditl the thoUght ; tliat f4rstieli pretexts, parrots would oppose such to irsti:u:i:,a utal prier s...eing their child en revelF.ng e-ery species of vice an I immorality, instead of encouraging the nicahs having a teaden , :y to elevate their moral and intel!.•ctual natures, and fitting them for that high and holy destiny design ed tiff man by his creator- Since I left the village, my thoughts Ire ' (pretty,- involuntesilv recur to the scenes I witnessed during my brief sojourn there. The pr. , lanation and open violation of the Sabbath in a land of civilization;and where the sacred banner of the cross has been un furled, made a lasting impression upon my mind. With what painfu: emotions have I been moved, when reflecting upon the awful respon,ibility necessarily devolving upon the parents and guardians of those youths I be held in their career of vice and dissipation, travelling the downward road to inevitable ruin, in consequence of the culpable ignor• :ince and fatal infatuation of those into whose hand are committed the kteping of the future governors and proprietors of the land. Reader, contemplate for a moment the high destiny of . man's immortal soul ; the Offspring of the God of love, of mercy and all goodness; the must precious gift confer red upon him by a beneficial creator, ma king him whilst on earth but a little lower than the angels, and when disencumbered of the clay which clogs him whilst here, renders high a fit companion for archangels. Sabb.ith Schools have accomplished much, and would to God that these deluded and in- Intuated beings could open their eyes to their salutary operations and place their children under their fostering care, that they might reap the fruits of their blessed and beuign influence, is the sincere wish and heartfelt dcsire of An lrish Telescope. —Sir Frederick Fi cod •vas one day observing to a t r irnd, he had a most excellent telescope.
