The Grammer and {Arithmetic of Roatoril - C. Smith. are in part exempt prom these evils, and we think a Geography, has likewise been added to the list. This is the production of S.

Alas ! poor Martin.-7 he Common Council of Hudson, the "city of Martin Van Buren's adoption," and - situated in his native county, passed resolutions, declining a participation in his cledionsering scheme, and' objecting to a public reception. They stated, that they did not (eel bound by any considerations ofjustice,pradentx, or hospitality, to e pcnd the peo ple's money, or descend from the dignity of their of ficial stations, foil the purpose of aiding political par tizans in their endeavours to carry out their favorite schemes. Put that in your pipe, and smokeit ! The free men of our country will never submit to be made the pliant tools of a corrupt and corrupting party ! Administartion "Logic and Arithmetic.—The Globe says, that Martin Van Buren's annual expen diture of $40,000,000 is more economical any de mocratic than Mr. Adams' expenditure of $12,000,- 000 ! Mr. Secretary Woodbury, must have had a hand in "cyphering out that sum." It savors 'of his arithmetical calculations, /and no man unde/stands the double rules of three, and the contingencies bet ter than he does. He has added distress to all class ses of community, substracted the public funds, multi plied sub-treasurers and absquatulators, dirided the Conservatives from his party, reduced the commer cial prospenty of our country to the verge o? ruin by the reduction of federal money, brought the fractions of government to their lowest terms, found out the greatest common divisor of the treasury funds for his friends, and the least common multiple for the .ipeople," stumbled in his equation of payments of the surplus revenue, bartered offices for political effect, practised fellowship with thieves and robbers, and double position with those to whom he is ac countable, ban furnished the solid contents of a Globe, and we hope his last sum may be to change an improper loco fraction, to a whole Whig num ber ! Robbery from the Witwv.—The New York Loco Focos, insist upoc it that Governor Seward is a "de mocrat,'' and say that his late speech on the 4th July is just the thing, and want to steal him from our ranks.- These locos will one day find out that the Whigs are the true democracy, and that loco-focoisrn, is a compound of blue light federalism, would be toryism, butt enders, agrarians, loafers and rowdies. Here awl there, you see a man of sense and honor, belong ing to that party, but they are like the pieces of meat that were in our soup at a country bowling school, to which our boyhood was condemned, raonstroas hard to find, trod harder to fiali nut! To be sure the tone of Goy. Seward's Address was democratic : he is a democrat, so are all good Whigs, and the time will come, when we shall be able to recover the name of which we have been rob bed by that party, who under whatever -flag they fight, will act like pirates and cut-purses. The New York Transcript says, that two or three cases of yellow fever hate recently occured in that It is pmbable however, that they are only import ed cases, occurring-at quarantine; as the speculators in flour and other staples, are seizing on every cir cumstance to deter the country.people from bring ing produce to their city market.

His hook is batted to some purpose; hut they say he is so,, lazy that he is compelled to write, by his publishefa, who have hod him down by forfeiture. Bad Speculation—The common council of New York hired Castle Cardin, on the occasion of the President's .visit, fie $2,000, and sold tickets of ad mission for 50 cis. They limit $lOOO by the opera tion. A New York paper says: we are requested to state that the price of admission to the Infernal Re gions, is to be reduced to 25 cts. We always understand that the Idmisii°n was gratuitous, and that, like the Maelstrom, people were rather compelled to enter its vortex. County 0/ —lt is caudal, rumored that the Governor intends, to withhold'his assent to the Bill providing for the ehiction of County Officers by to people. There is little doubt all will be done, that the party dare do, to preserve the spoils of office in their own hands. Union Canal.—The bill appropriating $400.000 to the enlargement of this useful line. has not yet received the signature of the Governor, and it is the opinion of many, that he will not sign it. - • 06-Tho Calionex*ioiot of thit Voitmoito of - Pennsihaida . was eakiiid ss thj Mutindioultd Hall st 10 - A.

PUBLIC DINER TO SENATOR FRAILEY. Pinegrove July tilh, 18*9 To CHARLES FRAILLY, Esq. :—Sir ! at a meet ing of some of the western townships of Schuylkill County, held at Pinegrove, July 6th, 1839 ; the un dersigned were appointed a Committee, to eXpress to you the obligations of f gratitude, which are uni versally telt in this vicinity for your unremitted ex ertions in the Senate of Pennsylvania, to obtain leg islative aid to enlarge the Unisineanal. You are already acquainted with the state of the public opin ion in reference to this measure, in this section of the Commonwealth: This is a question on which there is no diversity of sentiment ; it is a question involving the prosperity of a large portion of the State, and upon which is suspended the vital inter est of our people. Here, every party consideration sou minor conflicting interest is . merged, and the whole people are resolved, upon united and vigorous action, for the accomplishment of the object. The Bill which has recently passed the Legisla ture by a 'rote of more than two thirds of the mem bers of both Houseii, and which is now awaiting the signature of the Governor to become a law, orig inated with the people that you represent, and they are highly gratified with the zeal and energy, which you manifested in its behalf. If this Bill becomes a, law, it will not only secureto this coal regionL a nav igation superior to any thing ever to be hoped for from a Company, but it will greatly benefit the peo ple of the whole state. It imposes important restric tions upon the Company for the benefit of the peo ple. It reduces the tolls upon the great staples of Pennsylvania Coal, Iron and Lumber, to the standard of the Stite Canals, and obliges the Company to in cur au extra expence in the construction of locks wider than was intended, in order to procure uni formity with the State works upon the Susquehan na ; and also for the benefit of the Coal trade. It is no gift to individuals and no sectiouarappropriation, but a subscription of profitable Stock by the Com monwealth. It will enable the people to 'send their produce in Boats of the largest class without tran shipment from the heads of the North and West Breathes of the Susquehanna and the Jurflata, di rectly to Philadelphia. It will give profitable ern- Plonients in.the western trade, open the State Ca ned, to the Boats upon the Schuylkill, before the shipment of Coal commences—and it will Open one of the richest and most extensive Coal regiohs in the Commonwealth. and shortly cause annuallY, half a million of tons of Coal to pass over a ponies] of the State improvements. Paramount as these feasons are in favor of this Bill, there is yet another considerttuon which oper ates forcibly upon the minds of the peoplot here.— They deem it one of the most just and equitable laws that has for a long time received !legislative sanction, while the populous and rich eatieultural Counties of Berke and Lebanon, and the great mineral County of Schuylkill have home their Shift the publia int4eite; ina must Aire thrir POPortic" l44, the 1 44. 44! tf". 11 4 to sustain tte :public weft ; they-haver:oex *reel! tined fury thing faun the Millions that hare, been expended for the benefit of other Cowie.. Toyou in the Senate, and to our Representative in the Lower House—to the members of both Hops= es from the Counties ofßerim and Lebanon, as well es to those, from other Counties, who sided with you, belongs the honor of clinging, by an Aover whelming majority; through both Houses of he Legislature, a great Memarre of State policy, which sectional prejudice and selfishness have year after . year.defeated. Vital as it is to the great min eral interests in the Western part of Schuylkill comi ty, the people have determined, to act unitedly in re gard to it. They have, therefine„ with one voice, directed us to transmit to you thii :testimonial of their acknowledgment of the benefits of jour legisla tive services, and to tender to you a public dinner at Pinegrove whenever it may suit your convenience.

I feel highly flattered also with the good opinions expressed in the same communication, ' of my public services rendered in the Senate of Pennsylvania, and with feelings, of deep emotion in return, therefore, tender to them, through you, my sincere thanks. The importance of widening the Union Canal, contemplateribtr , the Bill lately passed by the Legislature a THIRD TIME, must strike every intelligent mind as the on ly project calculated to effect the connected water communication between the Eastern and .

Ortbfgaburg, July 9th, 1839 Since the passage of the Bill to which I just re ferred, I have frequently, when reflecting on the im portance of this improvement in queshori; promised myself a rich treat at meeting my, friends of the western Coal region as soon as we should be appris ed that the Bill had become a Law. I am admonished, however, by one consideration, that it is a fact, that the. Bill is not yet signed by the Executive, and that tb accept the invitation and fix to ume when it would best suit my convenience, would be premature. Allow me then to say in con clusion, that I cheerfully accept the invitation thus tendered to me on behalf of my friends of the west-. em Townships of this County, and that for the rea sons before assigned, I will hereafter, when the fate of the Bill in question is fully known, fix upon the time when it will best suit me to attend in accord ance with your wishes, to join my friends at Pine grove, of which I will give you timely notice. Accept one and all my best wishes for your health and welfare,-and believe me to be with sentiments of high regard, Your Obedient Servant, CHARLES FRAILEY. To Messrs. H. K.

The Exile, when leaving the berms of his childhood, Where his hind mother watched o'er his infantile year's , May calmly resign both the cottage and wildwood, But where is the heart that is proof to her tears? Can the Exile rejoice, and give tokens erg ladness, While • another's deep sighs, speak the leelmis of sadness ? Ah no'. he exclaims, it will drive me to madness And yet I must leave thee—DeariMother, adieu ! Oh where is my Brother ? he cannot come gladly, With the warm gushing tears flowing freely for me; ' Thou dolt love me my Brother, thy countenance sadly Betokens thy love: and must I leave thee ' No more see thee smiling in :h y youthful gladness, But cherish thy image as I left thee in macho as ? Come let me embrace thee :though it di ice me to madness, 1 weal lease thee my loved one—Dray Brother, adieu! My Sister'. where art thou 1 has nature deceived thee. And spared thee the parting with 111:n ye hold dew ? tondly my heart-strings extend to receive thee, Atil beat in their joy, while thy image is neat— The rose from thy cheeks disappeared, as thy glad teas, Gave place to the (belling of anguish and sadnese; My bosom will burst with its tluobbings of mad - ness ; And yet I must leave thee— Dear Sutter, a dieu. ! She revives, and ik calling ! dear Sister I leave thee ; May virtue and innocence still be thy light : May the God whom you worship, in kindness re lieve thee, And cause thee a fond mother's love to requite ! Farewell dearest Sister, we think of each other ; Farewell to thy smiles, and thy joys my dear Brother— • May God's richest blessings, attend thee dear Mother ; I cannot forget thee! Gud bless thee ! adieu! With sorrow he_ turns froth his home,—S: lone stranger— • In a far distant land, for a while, to sojourn ; Nn friend save his God ! can he apprehend danger? While God is his guide, and his ftiandl can he mourn ? No more does despair drive the Exile to madness, Or the parting of kindred oppress him with sad ness; United they join. with a feeling of gladness, And offer up thanks to the God of all truth Pottsville, July 16th, 1839.
