This latter poig, the highest attained, the Doctor has Marked Mount Perry,'in honor of the distin ,guis"hed navigator of that name. Estimate ;heseaxplorations as we may, Mr. President, ia• point of practical usefulness, there - is s-tmething, flattering in the fact, that whets Sebastian Cabot had attempted three hun dred and fifty years ago, our countryman, tr:Kane, has achieved. Be did discover a northwest passage and a Polar sea. Nor was this accomplished by accident or good _fortune. It was reached through trials and sufferings and imminent hazard of life, and the exercise of the highest degree of philos ophy and mend courage. Imagine, if you ' please, sir, a small band of hardy adventu rers, only eighteen in number, clothed iu skins and furs, tented in that icy region for • two tire ary years, shut out front the comforts of eivilliation, and for six mouths at one time front the light of heavers, surrounded by impenetrable darkness. Think of the con e-Mk on of their ice-bound vessels, in latitude 'l23 4 tikenstituting their only home and steel , tiVrom which they sallied forth to survey = ibe coasts—to take sketches of the surround -.llilVcenery; day after day, and month after *kali, they continued to g ) forth and return to this silent name. For hundreds and hun dreds of miles they traversed that desert re gion of cuow and ice, where the footprints of civilized man had never before been left: Then, again, when they bad triumphed mainly in their enterprise, and the wants of 'Sustenance and health demanded a retreat, 'contemplate their departure front their ice bound ship, and witness thorn with dogs and sledges, for the space of eighty-two days struggling over a cheerless and rugged coun try, suffering constantly from the intense severity of the climate. About this time it was, sir, that within the hall, of Congress WIAS heard the voice of benevolence, pleading in eloquent tones fur . relief fur those gallant men—relief for Dr. Kane, who, it was feared, would perish in his daring efforts to relieve John Franklin. Tu that v.iice the response was prompt.— Men who have done and suffered so much, deserve the gratitude of their country. But, Mr. President, I am fur a proper no ti.ec of the expedition, in view of the salutary kfluence the act would cridontly excrei.e. is such public recognition of great qual ities that begets a proper spirit of emula tion amongst the gifted and the good—that develops the genius and the patriotism of our people. And have we not, on this idea, times without numbrr, sir, complimented those who have distiu;4uishod themselves its battle, or even iu the councils of the nation? Have we eiii t exteaded to_snoi, *I T the country, and _:xen perpetuity.to their who brave • e. • a — ie . Causeof benevolence and science, to the inuninent or life, be less cherished? So much Dr, Kane has done and endured. Some of the anc:ents, we read, honored civilians as well as soldiers; and surely in no age, ancient or modern, should the daring navigator and discoverer command less - of his country's admiration and bounty. The brave man who plants the flag of his coun try in the enemy's camp is worthy of dis tinction, but not more so than he NV/10 ex tends the limits of civilization and human knowledge, at the rim!: of life and the loss of health and C'.llllirt. The most desperate in battle do not evince a higher degree of true courage. Whosoei er c impares the present map of the world, with sical geography as known to the ancients, a ill be prepared to appreciate the value of dicoveries, and the merits of those who have added so nitwit to our knowledge of the formation of the globe on which we live—a knowledge illus trative of all our accepted the tries of the wonderful structure of do: imiverte—of as-, tronosny and geogimpl.v: all tending to the ends of civilization rnlehristianity. Who ever attemp's to gatlizr up rind contemplate the boundless and brilliant achievements of navigators, from the days of the Scylax, the Greek, five hundrc I and tweet} -two years be fore the Chtistion e:tt, down to Tudelu, the Juw, may find it difficult todetermine exactly t what navigators and ex;il6.ers a2com plish in that ago of the world; bin, begin ning with I'aui, the Italian, in 7'295, and tracing the achievemeats of Maadeville, of Cadamosta, of Crilonibus, of Vespucci, of Magellan, of Cabot, of Cavendish, of Sir Francis Drake, of Walter Raleigh, of Cap tain Cook. and others, in past centuries, and those of Humboldt, of Franklin, of Ross, of Richardson, of Parry. of McClure, of Kane, and others of the nineteenth century, will be justly impressed with the invaluable scr licos this class of scientific and devoted men Lave rendered to their fellow-men; how much they have contributed to the ends of ,iiilization—to the purposes of human kuosslodge, and of their genuine merits as a duos. They are entitled to the gratitude rind admiration of the - whole human race, and will be to the end of time. If it I.e objected that this is the purchase of a hunk. my answer is, that Congress has frequently purchased similar hooks, and that, hod Dr. Kane submittal a. detailed re ',orbit would !lave been printed without oh . ;ection. and cast the a:re:merit double or rel.le the w.c7,rogatc aninant of all the books the Doctor's 'friends dt•sire Congress to take.

But the lactor's friends are not willing, to place him in a position sn repugnant to Lis own feel ings.

It is all very well for tbe*Orld to declaim against imposters :la itn ! pakiiirii to make laws for the pnnislimen one' as a protection against the other,..and all i that. But in spite of all this, the world' is fend of impostors and seems tickled most *hen most imposed upon. 'We flutter wround•the glare .pf the false light till-tire get our wings scorehU, then grumble a little,..and—go• back to our folly--lust this once." _ We are the victims of imposition from the cradle to the grave. The first nauseous - dose thrust into our infant stomach is an imposi tion; we are not allowed to get a start into life without getting a shove from nature's path, by some imposter - of a leech or meddling nurse: Suppose we do - get througlrciui childhood, in spite of hydrates, tartrates, sulphates and opiates, the probability is that we bear the marks of the lancet or bistoury, in seams, scars, and cicatrices, all the days of our life. And all this because our fond parents loved to pay the doctor to watch over us in our helplessness, i.e. were pleased to be humbugged. The doctor having done his part, we are handed over to the school master, and duly initiated into the mysteries of which that functionary is ventrally supposed to hold the key. Here is a fine chance fur imposi tion. Our fond Pa. and Ma. are informed that "Sammy is getting along finely"—that the "boy displays great ability"—and that the 'world will find itself astonished one of these (lays by his wonderful talent. We are taught verses at sic years of age—of the meaning of which we do not have the most remote idea--we have the rules of synthesis and analysis at our tongue's end, though we are totally innocent of a capacity to apply them. Like well taught parrots, we, are made tools to elevate our "Professor," mir rors to reflect upon the world the imposition he practices; and the good-natured world smile; and bears its shame. Impsit ion couilnes iteelf to no single pro_ fersion. It has its representatives in all— The doctor imposes upon us, the teacher imposes upon us, the merchant imposes upon us, and sometimes he who lets been sent to prearh us glad tidings—a hypocrite at heart —leads its to broken cisterns—"broken cis terns that hold no water." We like to see a luau of sound practical good Sense, who, when be sees through the crust of the imposter, is not backward about dis,lo , ing the filets fur the benefit of his fel low-men and to the shame of the pretender. Of that kind was an old friend, who once dwelt not a thousand miles hence. Jona than lo Aced upon peripatetic wisdom as samethiug that required watching and sift ing, an wo be to the wight,among the wan dering philosophers, who c.liatzes4asto frill him his hands.

Thee'll gain considerable by over had much opinion of folks like thee, too lazy to work, and afraid to steal— thee will make out but poorly, I fear. Thee can go! Good morning." Give us such out-spoken honesty and ha posters will grow rare. MR. EDITOIL—In reading the last number Of the "Spy," my attention was attracted to au article subscribed "Inquirer," rclathe to the cause of the small attendance at the re cent lecture of Dr. Elder; and as I am ena bled to relieve the short-sightedness o f th e •'lnquirer," 1 feel myself in duty bound to do so. There is a certain class of individ uals in this place who are disposed to attri bute to clerical dictation every thing that does not happen to go off exactly right in their own opinion; and such has been the case in the present instance, which - as I shall presently show you was entirely ground less. In the first place, the notice of the lecture was entirely too short. People living in the . country did not know anything at all of it, and consequently many did not attend the lecture who would hale been there had they known of it. There were also many who had made previous engagements and could not possibly postpone them, of which num ber 1 ant one. And in the second place, the lecture was held on a very exceptionable ! "S:tturday." one on which all the siores and other liminess places are keptopen until nine o'elock,after which it was too late to attend the lecture. Now. after considering all those disail • vantages, is it any wonder that the audience was , Mall? I think not. The Rev. Mr. Mecaskey was not home on the (netting of the lecture, nor had he been for severe t days pre N ions. If lam correctly informed. he was at Baltimore attending the Conference in session at that place. Mr. Menges had made an engagement to preach at Lancaster, and dismissed his catechumens (with N . l hom he met that evening hr prelim's engagement) at 7 o'clock, in order to leave in the evening train for Lancaster. Mr. Ers kine, although in town, was engaged so that he was unable to attend, in consequence of being called to the bedside of a dying man where he spent the whole evening. But let us suppose all of them to have been at home and at leisure to attend the lecture of Dr. Elder, are they then, because they do not feel it their duty to attend every p&ic lec ture, on the "Arabs," "ShakspearW'"The Tariff" &c.. that may be delivered in the place. to be brought out in the public papers and have their names heralded throughout the whole country? Shame upon the per son who dared to do it. If it were known, Mr. Editor, such persons attend to other peo• ple's business much better than they do to their own; and, having given the "Inquirer" the desired information, I would advise him to apply himself diligently to matters which concern his owe affairs, and allow the "clergy" to use their own pleasure about attending any lectures.

ASSOCIATION TOR RELIEF OF TILE POOR.- This Association will hold a meeting in the Town hail, on Tuesday evening next, at 8 o'clock. It is to be hoped there will be a large attendance, as the subject is one in which all in the community are interested. RECOVERING.—The boy, Stewart, who was so badly hurt a few weeks since by be ing attacked by a bull near Millerstown, is slowly getting better and there is now a tolerable chance for his ultimate recovery. Ma. Spy—l am a staid old chap, rather given to taking matters easy, as far as this world world is concerned, hating above all things, strife and dissension, and happy as a king amid peaceful scenes and occupations. I am somewhat of an amateur,—no, that isn't the word—l mean connoisseur in music.— For the gratification of my appetite in that way, I went, on 'Thursday evening, ton con cert given by •the Cecilia Society of this place, and was agreeably surprised to hear wha', to my unsophisticated ear, seemed ex cellent music—quite as good indeed as that which city folks think the for. I may have been mistaken, but I really thought the opening "Overture to Entfuh rung" beautiful. The "Alpine Horn," by Miss Haldeman, was performed very well. ' This young lady gives great promise of mu sieal aptness. Madame Ileg,mau and Miss Cutter delighted me, and I believe the audi ence, too,bv their truly artistic performances upon Piano. The Benin'. Society, of Lame. lent its aid to the Cecilia, its 1, member showing masterly proficiency.— The Mozart Society of the same city, had a deputation present--fine singers. In short, the whole affair was good—excellent— enough to satisfy the most fastidious amongst us, though there are no doubt grumblers. There is one thing above all others detest able to be noticed in this place. I refer to the whooping and hooting, whistling and yelling, of low bred and vulgar fellows who find their way to public exhibitions, concerts &c. Sonic of this took place last night, and I would respectfully represent to the animal. 4 who produced the discordant noise, that if their taste runs that way—if their ears are delighted by brays and bleating, they should go to a barn yard in order to a proper en joyment of themselves. There is yet another thing I noticed, which might have a passing word. There seemed to be a kind of segregation of the audience into knots or clans, each one having its par ticular favorite among the performers. One knot took especial pains to make for itself a character, if I might judge by the noise it made. "Claquers" should not be tolerated, where it is known that they visit a concert or play for the indulgence of personal spite, or disappointed malice. It may he that 'those noisy persons were actuated by neither one nor the other; but old fellows like myself generally impute effects to a cause, and may thus be sometimes led astray. I saw a few fellows in the audience who seemed sadly put out by the character of the music, and whose looks seemed to say "let us fellows there, and we'll show you ssr‘at is what," and I have not the least oLubt but that they would have done so. I do hope that the CeOliq.nriay go on and meet the.kind wishel and help of everybody, in cluding "Clatters" "Hay"-boys and "the rest of mankind." GRIZZLE.
