For the. Rejudihcan
The ‘Corporal’says lie w as much amus'-
ed, aiid though ’tis pleasant sure to see
one’s name in print—yet unlike the hyp
ocrite, ‘who was more pleased to see it
there than in the book of life.’ From the
high encomiums and eulogies lavished up
on the ‘Corporal,’ ho thinks it not more
than justice to return his friend suilahlo
compliments for his disinterestedness. j
The ‘Corporal’ feels happy to say that
he has noticed some very Jfashy and spicy'
things proceed from the pen of tlic‘distin
guished pilot,’ which surely does him much
honor and credit. What honors might
some accumulate were it not for their ex
treme modesty !
The ‘Corporal’ without, o,riy hesitation
says, he was much diverted with the wit
and genius displayed in the last poem of
tho ‘fishing,party,’ tis it really portrays a
great deal ol prqfbmid thought pud sprigjfl
lul imagination. SucL n production could
have issued from none save one, from whom,
in the w.pfds of a modern orator, ‘language
runß out spontaneously ;’ yet with a great
deiil of qunintness and modesty, ascribes it
to his friend ‘Tom.’ To perpetuate tho
name of the author of. so invaliiqble a
‘work,’ the ‘Corporal deems it qoi piore
tlilili justice |o tlie pjlot, ljis friends anc| the
community at large, to give a specimen of
his production ior (ho suko of notoriety, as
it will .no doubt increase the 6alc of the

The new chieT magistrate of a benutiful
and extensive city—occdpied by half a

for its healthy location, its happy poor, its
|generous rich, its scholurs and its wits, its
statesmen and its lawyers —held high le
vee nt Independence 1 Ini I —the Mecca to
, tho freemen of America —tho l’untheon to
i which tho oVos of the whole world are tur
ned either in hope or in fear. It was a
'spectacle of surpassing grandeur, and was
'in itself' one nf the epochs of the ago. The
object of this assemblage—for it included
1 men who lived in tho last century, and
who reappeared nt this moment upon the
stage of life .to take a parj in the august
ceremony —was to initiate an era of new
measures, and to open the wny to a future
such ns never whs ‘dreamed of in our phi
losophy.’ Judge Conrad had taken the
scat which, nearly seventy-eight years
ago, was appropriated by a mntl called
John Hancock, who presided over n con
vention assembled in that very hull to cot
the American colonies loose from the Brit
ish Crown, nnd. who stood by nnd sttw
his place occupied by a stranger, who was
about to improvo upon tho Idea proclaim
in the Declaration of American Indepen
dence, and to set nnexample to posterity
which those men Tvho lived n hundred
years nuo had come from their narrow

The roll was called. The first name
: wus thill of Gilbert Metier do I/ifaj cite.
‘What are your claims to eousidi-ralinnsC
was the question ol the learned Judge Com
rud.
■They arc very few in number,’ said a
musical voice in broken Knglisli. T first

in Chester and IJclewarc counties, and wtis
w ounded for tho good of the cause, i did
some service at Monmouth. I induced
l’ranee to join the colonies with money

Cornwullis In surrender, and wus present
ut the seige of Yorktuwn. I enjoyed the
unduninished confidence of George Wash

‘Where were you born V said Judge
Conrad glowing with enthusiasm at these
eloquent nnd soloicr-liko detuifs. ‘I was
born in France, in 1707,’ was Ihe responce.
‘How!—a foreigner —an unnaturalized cit
izen,' was the indignant interruption. —
‘Stand back. These are days \yhen nil
acts done by such a man are forgolton
nnd denounced. You are excluded from
consideration by a grateful republic.’
‘Call Benedict Arnold, and let us hear
-his sentiment,’ was the next observation.
A voice replied ; ‘I fought for my coun
try long ond well; but in nn evil hour I
deserted and betrayed her to the English.
I was born in Connecticut, in 1740.
‘That is sufficient, brave nnd worthy
son. Your case is already decided in
your favor. I will enroll your namo high
in the list of my officers. It is enough
that you were born in this happy country.
We will now consent to hear from Baron

A voice answered : ‘My name is Fred

lows : ‘I come from the gravo to meet you

almost in tho arms of Washington. I was
born in Scotland.’ ‘Enough—your ex
ample cun produce no ellect upon rue; for
I have sworn before Henvcn to consider

Tho name next on the list was that of
Aaron Burr.

‘We counot do without tho services of

Clc&rficld County Bible Society.
This society is nuxilliary to the Penn
sylvania Bible society, nnd for soveral
years has been prosecuting its labors with
diligenceand success. Through its agents,
and others, many hundred copies of the
sacred scriptures, havc.been circulated, and
many households and families thus put in
possession of the word of lifo at a cost
much below whnl, under other circum
stances might huve been necessary.
As Mr. Calhcart is now engaged in ex
ploring tho county, tho society has deem
ed it ndvisnblo to lav bbfdPe tlie"public a
synopsis of its plans and'Objecfs; Accor
dingly at a Into meeting, ’’ the undersigned
were appointed a Committee for this pur-
pose.
Ist. The great object contemplated by
tho society, is to give the Bible a more
wide and general circulation, and to give
to families, nnd others nn opportunity of
purchasing a copy of the same at the low
est possible price.'
2d. The hooks are purchased fipim the
Parent Society ut cost, and sold at a per
centage bnrolv sufficient to defray tho ex
penses and freight. Hence there is no
profit accruing td the society in any wny
from its labors—hut, on the contrary, an
expenditure of both time nnd money on its
part, in the prosecution of its objects.
3d. Their neent is instructed to visit
each and every family us fur 11s possible
'Hi the county, nnd offer the Bible for sale.
I nib Gd unis or la 11 lilies declaring themselves
un(V>lr. to pu 1 chase arc presented with u
copy gratuitously —of such a price ns the
iigeift mnv deem advisable to give.
•Ith. Ho is also instructed to solicit do
nations in money (rom nil who e-ithcr may
or mnv not see proper to make purchases.
The object of these donations islto defray
tho audits own expenses nnd to pay for
jsuoh copies of the Bible ns have been giv
en away gratuitously. Any funds that
mnv remain ill the hands of the society af
ter these expensPß linvo been paid, is giv
on to tho Parent Sosicty to enable it to
carry forward its expensive and benevo-
lent operations. !
sth. The society wishes it to be distinct-j
ly understood that there is nothing scctu-'
rian connec ed w ith its object. It is the
Bible —the hook of all Christian dfenomi
nations —that it aims -to circulate, and
most of the dillerent churches in the coun
ty arc represented among its members.
With these statements, the society ear
nestly solicits tho cordial co-operation of
ministers of the gospel, nndnll other friends
of the Bible throughout the county, to unite
with it and nid as far as possible in pro
moting this great nnd good cause.

In tho vicinity pf Henderson, Ky., the ap

The cause of this fatality is attributed to a

vert of color,*the point fhoy arrive at is the
'same. They agree that a prohibitory li
quor law would not bo unconstitutional be
cause it was prohibitory ; and neither of
them would rqfuso tosign it on thotapcoiyu
if passed by the legislature. Both agree
that a vote of the people could not impair
the constitutionality of such nn act of tho ,
flaw making power. ' :; 1 1 •' l/1 W (’
Certainly if the legislature lias a right _
to restrict, it hns a right to prohibit tho
I sale offiquor; If the public welfare juati
fies otiG* act it may'also the other. By
\naUtral- right all men may sell
;and if the necessity of civil society can
,takc it from all but ten in a county it cer.
tainly can tnke it from those ton.
But there is one point in tho letter of
1 Gov. Bigler which is especially common
\ dablc in this age of demogogueism. Ho
says lie will not object to n prohibitory
law because it is prohibitory but that be
fore lie can grant or withhold his assent
from the details of uny bill he must first
, see what the This i 9 manly and
Trank ; and if Judge Pollock means to go
further than this, or if his interpreters do
-1 sign to.color his letter and make it mean ■
that he would if elected, sigh any prohib
itory law without asking anything about
its details or provisions except that it was .
( u prohibitory liquor law, we say bo and
, bis fiiends go 100 fur ond leap in the dark.
If that is their construction it is more like
a bid for votes that the enunciation of prin
ciples.
A Governor may be willing to sign laws
chartering corporations, but he will uot
sign them with such'provisionsand detuils
ns shall he clearly unconslilutiunul or pro
voking fraud upon the public from the in
stitutions so chartered. Xor can ho ba
asked in fairness to say before he secs
these laws whether 110 will sign them or
not. Ho can only sjifcatl in advance ns to
the general principle. '
The question of a prohibitory law is be
fore the people lor a voto in October.—
'That vote will decide tile issue, and the
friends of prohibition a r6~Confident of suc
cess. It is to bn regretted that when as
sembled in State Convention 11 icy did not
perfect their bill, und then the candidates
might haye been interrogated to the point
und could have'hnown what law it was
they were questioned about. —North Star.
AMALGAMATION OP TBAITORS.
An amalgamation of tho fragments of
all factions to dissolve the Union is sob ’
ernnly proposed by Cassius M. G!aY, ,L 'itj a
treasonable letter to Horace Greoly offiuyy
New York Tribune. It suggests and lays •
down'the outlines for a Hartford Convene
lion Alliance between the whigs and AlK :1
olitionists, to ride down tho national Dem- (
ocriits, revolutionise Congress and elect 1,
the'next President. But first it would
have all tho Northern members or Conv"
gress, who voted for the repeaT of the Mis* '
sourt Compromise, which restores to the' *
people the right of self-government, put to
death! It would be difficult, however, Itefi
verv grociouslv acknowledges, to inflict J
this punishment, and he proposes ns a sub*’ 1
slitiiie for deall), Social, commercial, ond ■
political proscription ; holding no intePG
course, trade dr dealings wi'h any man in’'
favor of the Union, whom he stigmatize^ 1
as a traitor! Well, apart from tho inlWnyt
sic ond diabolical treason of this scheme!
to brenk up this glorious nationality, we'
do not dislike this great plan of Colitis to
I produce the dismembermeu' of tho l’ r ' ; on,
because it will leud to the very contrary-1
'effect, and cement etayy patriotic Wbig.liv
!the Democracy; and the fag ends -v.lt be
Iso excessively email ns to insure !bemi-a‘
| perpetuul minority. This scheme has noeni
I tried before, nnd nlvvoys overwhelmed its
I projectors with defeat and confusion. Let!
jit once be understood, as now proclaimed l
by C. M. Clay, that tho question is, tho
preservation or dissolution of this gloriouC
Union, and the people will render such n
verdici ns will cause treason to retreat to
her dark den, howling under her smarting
wounds. We are rejoiced tho mask has
fallen from these Arnolds of the dnv, and
thai ‘rule or ruin,’ is now their cry. We
disdain to follow this mad demngoguo
through all the mazes of iiis treason, in
tlwucourso of which he predicts a success
furcivil war for tho Abolitionists, Whigs
and all other factions amalgamated. It
would be difficult to suppose those men
consciousof thcchnraclor of their sayings,
if we did not see some of them first incite'
to riot, und then rejoice over murder, dab
bling their hands with joy in tho blood of •
their fellow.citizens. ' Wliut is to be lltS;
result of C. M. Clay’s nppenl to tho most
furious passions of debased natures, it'is
hard to tell, us such exhortations couched
in such languogo, are calculated to bring
many victims of crimo to tho scaffold or
the dungeon. Cassius M. Clay is nn arch
traitor.— Pennsylvanian.
