C. NE:VILLE, LSI/. This is a day of national rejoicing, and ae are as sembled to participate' in the general feeling—a day which we celebrate in remembrance of that glorious Declarittion of American lind:pendence which you have now heard :read by Cul. Baird---a declaration which has proclaimed and from the principles it con tains is' destined to extend insure and accompli-h the univirsal freedom of man. On this day and upon this occasion a illy passing remarks in relation to it cannot be inappropriate. When this country was udder the donut:ion of Great Britain, the govern ment endeavored to impose taxes upon these colonies in every respect inimical to their interests, to aid and support ti:stitutions vvfireb were oppressive and bur tberisome. At this seemingly unpropitious moment, o ben the gloom was general, when the tie of filial all; cuort which bound the colonies to the mother country was about being rent an unnatural disunion —the spirit of liberty which had::been through ages seeking an abiding place—and had but drooped her wings as she passed u'er other lands, directed by'a supermtending God, hastened to these shores. Here .she found breasts ready to receive her. She made hei home in the hearts of the men of '76. They animated by her spilt, cheered by the hope, the con fidence sheAnspired, were enabled to make even the most / unfavoratile circumstances conduce to their .‹iiCCess. It i 4.4.1.11 1 .1, 'eta for me to mention ghat he tory attests. They fought and conquered ; and that era we may date as Ito dawn of political liberty. The men who achieved the great work of American independence, who uttered this matchless declaration of the rights of man. were eminent fur temperance and 'moderation in religion, in politics, and especial ly the mariner of their lives. They h,ve presented the world with the striking proot of the great good that may be done by a few temperate, united and ref solute men. \V hat have they accomplished ! They have transmiited to the enjoyment of eighteen mil lions of peopri - teeedorn, an extended country—pus- Sessed of every variety of climate and of soil—the blessings of peace, and every element for, the perfec tion of their present and future happiness. And as long as America remains a nation, as long as her name is inscribed en the scroll of time, will endure their glory and their fame- Shall rye ',y intemper ance cast aside these blessings which heaven and earth have united to bestow to otir use, and we trust for future generations ! No. ILis our duty to leave [h-m pure--and undefiled to our children. Our de sire to do so must be manifested by temperance. By it alone may they be preserved arid perpetuated.— Unto you. niernbers•of the Pottsville Temperance S.iciety_, I say that upon this the anniversary of your i celebration, you have made a declaration which ri ' vals in purity of principle and sublimity of design, that. ithmortal one of American independence—and I be who affixes his name to the temperance pledge, signs a release froin - IrlOfal degradation—a release 1 Iron a the slavery of the soul..

IThe imposition of taxes is the highest and most . I hateful exercise of Legislative power. It was oppo. woo to its unjust use that caused these colonies to 'separate from Great Britain. It was to avoid these intolerable beirthens Of taxes and tithes, which redo.- _ cad .) ourselves and families to squalid misery, that you tied to this country:voluntary exiles from your native land. Is it not therefore inconsistent with ex.-- cry correct principle of human action, that you should by intemperance impose a tax upon your. selves, more pernicious and destructive in its effects, more demoralizing-and hately than any which des potism or tyranny might inflict! Such is the tax intemperance imposes on its votaries. We learn from the scriptures that God made man after his o*n likeness—did he make perSonally or mentally sii 1 Le .suppose the Almighty to have hands and feel formed as ours, is an absurdity; the mind alone bears a true similitude With .God. It is there he has set, up his throne and established his temple among men.

Oh, Nlathew, ancient end modern nations may boast of their warriors, statesmen, moralists, pi eta, reformers, philosophers and churchmen, but take them all in one concrete they would not form a char acter great as thine—thy glory is immarcessible. Ireland has been held in slavery by intemperance; this May appear to be a startling statement, the.e l i - fore that you may know I do nut make it without foundation, ,I refer you to the siege of New floss, in . 1798. Are-there any of the tnegar htll.boys pres ent I Are :th.ere any of the Croppies here ! If so let them bear testimony. The facts are as follows: The British ann . ! occupying Ross were attacked by the rebel ori.as we would say the patriot army—the English were defeated and driven from the town with great loss—the place was invested by the rebel forces, who had a clear road from thence to the Cap ital. Giving way to' thewildest excesses el their joy, they opened the distrlleries—confusion and up roar for a while prevailed, but at length all was si lent, and the strong men who bad that morning fought bravely for their country's freedom were re duced by intemperance to a •piliable and contempti ble tuabicility. The English General taking advan tage of their situation, re-entered the town and plant ing cannoti at the extremities of the streets, almost annihilated the rebel army. Oh. if pity ever dropt a tear,. it fell then. Not aliMe for the awful mariner of their deaths, but also for the drunkard's eternal doom. Ten thousand blo,,dy and mangled corpses choked the streets of Ross on that eventful night. Thus in the moment or victory Intemperance robbed us of its re wards. Our countrymen are about to pass the Rubicon, let us not forget they are our kindred and friends. they seek our sympathy, our approbation. They do not demand as many erroneously suppose a separa tion from'England. They want the right of freemen equal rei-Esc:dation. We would be wor=e than recreant ,traitors, if in their struggle to gain it we refuse our countenaner; They are about plunging into the stream' on this side is Intemperance and Slavery; on that Temperance and Liberty —the pledge is on their brelists the pure fire of patriotism in their hearts. And holding aloft,, as they struggle with the waves, their petition “f Repeal, they will gain the opposite shore. And as the sounds of victory swell upon the winds, let America re-echo the shout that Ireland LS free. LOOK TO TiOS, PARENTS.-` , If he had brought me up properly, I should not have been here," were the last words of Peter Robinson, who was hung in New Brunswick, (N. Jersey.) for the murder of Suydam. This monster in the form of a man, had been perinitted while a,boy to do pretty much as he pleased. Like too many in the present day, be was subject to no restraint. Insfead of being made to work, he was allowed to lounge through the week and to fish on the Sabbath—and as might have been expected, he has come to a disgraceful end. Whst must be the feelings of the father's heart, when his felon son reproaches him with being the author of his crime or• ignominy ? Parerits, remember the dying words of Robinson ; If he had brought me up properly, I should not I hare been here." INPOITAIET MOVEMEST IN CC BA.—Some of the principal proprietors of agricultural estates in Ha vana have addressed a spirited memorial to the Cap. tern General of the Island, praying him to take prOmpt'and effectual measures fur the suppression of the Slate Trade. They representthat it is to this traffic that they owe the displeasure of England, the efforts of the Abolitionists and the great increase of the number of their • natural enemies' on the Island. It says that there are now 660,000 persons of color on the Island, or about 60 per cent. of the whc• population. In 1775 the colored population num bered only 36 per cent. More than this, they state I that there are 900,000 disciplined free blacks' in Hayti at the disposal of England, 400,000 on the South of Jamaica. 12,000 in the Bahama Archipel ago and other islands in their neighborhood, increas ed by es many more wrested by captures from their made* - , : ar,. i.: 1 .: r ici .,, .. . zi ; ;t,.. _ It, +G , It. a. vr. , : , '‘ .1; ° ` 1: ' ' A -: • l'a '' . _ , t ...., . 1 " ,: ~: , -.'

PIIOSPERITY OF FRAACE-11E13,--rite • : TECTIVE sysTEkt../ The following, from the Harristurg Inteltigencer, we commend to the attentron of our readers. It is n ' triumphant refutatiod of the free trade doctrine, that • the protestion<f demesne industry increases the I ) rice-t - d the consumer. r A few years ago, we imported annually a consid erable amount of specie from France. But ❑ow, owing to the high French Tariff, the balance of trade is against us some $16,000,000 imilually. By the secretary of the Treasury's Report of 1840, we find that Cotton, Tobacco, arid Whalebone, are. al most the only articles the French purchase of us— all our other produttions being excluded tory duties. In 1839, the total value of our extorts to France, including $661,598 of specie, was only $l5 966,149, while our imports of French goods amounted to $32,531,321. There has been about the seine balance against us since 1833. Of the six hundred millions of bushels of wheat, rye, oats, and barley, raised annually in the Cutted States, France purchases not a bushel. Of the productions of our forests and our mines she takes nothing, and of our manufactures she has no need. Cotton she mils/ have, and, she therefore took from us, in 1839, an amount valued at '13,323,142„ Our Tobacco she taxes ten times its %alue, and takes less than one million of dollars worth annually. We stiller tilts heavy balance of trade against us by our own fully, admitting as we du twmthirds of all the products of France free of duty. In 1839, we admitted French silk and worsted goods du'y free, to the amount of $19,145,127. The effect of the French protective system may Le seen from the following facts taken from a sum mary of .a report laid belore the Chamber of Peers by the Minister of Commerce. We are indebted for this summary to Hunt's Merchants' Magazine for June. In 1829 the imports of France amounted to $123,300,000, and the exports to :120,000,000. In 1839 the imports were $189,000,000, and the ex ports were $200,000,000, being nearly doubled in ten years. French navigation has increased in the same , proportion. The French tonnage in 1829 was 647.000 tons, and in 1839, 1,200,000. Domestic produce has increased in a similar pro portion. The French coal mines produced but 1,- 700,000 tons in 1829, and in 1839, 3,000,000 of tons. If, says the Minister of Commerce, we pass from coal to iron, we find that in the year 1828, France poss ssed 393 furnaces, producing 200,000 tons of cast iron, and 1205 furnaces for refining, ma nufacturing annuady 150,000 tons of iron. lii 1839, France possessed 975 furnaces which produce an-. nually 347,700 tons of cast iron, worth $12,000,000, and 1500 furnaces for refining, producing 224,000 tons, worth :18,000,000. The French manufactures have increased in a si milar manner during the last ten years. Lyons has increased her silk looms from 27,000 to 40,000, and the exportation of silk stuffs, which amounted in 1829 to only $22.000,000, reached in 1839 to :28.- 000,000. The exportation of woolen goods amount ed in 1829 to only $5,500,000. In 1839 it increased to :11,000.000 ! and the export of cotton goods in creased during the ten years from $8,600,000 to an amount valued at $l5 600,000. This increase of manufactures has had the effect which they always have in every country where they are protected :—the price has beek reduced to the consumer, and not increased according to tree trade philosophy. Bar iron has been reduced one-third in price, and woolen and cotton goods nearly one-half. What then is the duty of the American Congress in reference to a nation that excludes our produc tions by high protective duties, and takes nothing from us but our cotton and our bpecse, unless it be a swill portion of our tobacco, on which she lays a tax of 500 per cent ! We now purchase more than two-thirds of all her silk exportations, and these come in duty tree. Let us lay opal . ) French silks coun tervailing duties, until she opens her ports to our agricultural prodoctioni. Ifiit increases the price of silk goods, those who wear them can afford to pay the duly. It will oblige France tc take American produce, for the cotton she must have, or give us spe cie, and it will build up our silk business now in its infancy. This will he better l than raising a reve nue of five millions of dollars on tea and coffee, which are necessaries and trot the luxuries of life.

El LIFE OF TECUMSEH A life of this celebrated chieftain, by the late Ben jamin Drake, has been lately published in Cincin- nuti. It is spoken of as a , :tk of uneoromon inter est and executed with vent ability. The biographer had bestowed infinite pains in the investigation. of the character of thts famous Indian warrior, and the pages of the volume teem with anecdotes illustrative of his bravery, generosity and heroism. We extract a few of them for the amusement of our readers, TECUMSEHS EFFORTS T° AUOLISU THE GU EINI SG CF enisnNEns.—The neat act in which Tecumseh paiiicipated, and which he manifested signal Fa witss, was on Baal; mule by the Indians uponi some flit boats descending the Ohl.), above Limestone. now Maysville. The year in which it occurred is not stated, but Tecumseh was not probably more than sixteen or seventeen years of age. The boats were captured, and all the persons belonging to them killed, except one, who was taken prisoner, and af terwatds burn'. Tecumseh was a silent spectator of the scene. having never witnessed the.burning of a prisoner before. Af er it was over, he expressed in strong terms his abhorrence of the act, and it wa , finally concluded by the party that they would never burn any more prisoners ; and to this resolution be himself and the party also, it is believed ever after wards scrupulously adhered, It is not less creditable to the humanity than ge nius of Tecumseh that he should have taken this no ble stand, and by the force and eloquence of his ap peal have brought his companions to the same resolu tion.

SINGVLAII FtLFILME3T OF A 71111. E kT.-h WBB Tecumseh's darling project to unite all the tribes of the South and West in the defence of their lands.— To accomplish this, ha visited Arsonally every tribe, engaging each in his plans, andOxing a day when a blow was to be struck, simulaiieuusly, along the whole of the confederacy nhich he sought to esialr !ash. • On his-return from Florida, he went among the Creeks in Alabama, urging them to units with the Seminoles. Arriving at Tuckhabatchee, a Creek town on the Tallapoosn river, he a.ade his way to the lodge of the chief called the Big Warrior. .He explained his eXieet,ileliv.?.red his war-talk, presented a bundle of sticks, gave a piece of wampum and a hatchet, all of which the Big Warrior took. %N hen Tecuinseh, reading the intentiuni and spirit of the B:g Warrior, looked ham iu the eye, and pointing lais finger towards his face, said 4 .1 - our blood is white ; you havi3 taken my talk and the sticks, and tLe wampum and the hatchet, but you do not mean to fight ; I know the reason . you do not believe the Great SpWit'has sent me you shall know : I leave Tuckhabatchee directly, and shall go straight to Detroit : when I strive there I shall stamp on the wound with my foot, end shake do-vii every house in Tuckhabatchee." o saying, he turned and left the Big Warrior in utter amaze ment, at both his manner and his threat, and pm sued his tourney. Ths Indians were struck no less with his conduct than was the Big Warrior, and be gan to dread the arrival of the day w hen the threat ened calamity would befsl them. They often met and talked over this matter, and counted the carefully to know the time when Tecumseh would reach Detroit. The morning they had fixed upon. a, the period of his arriv:a!, at last came. A. mighty t unibl rig was.heard—they all rail out of their house!. —the earth began to shake ; at last, sure enough, every house in Tuckhabatchee was shaken d n. The exclamation was in every mo uth, , , e h has g.:t to Detroit !" The itiict was electrical. The nit :,sage Le Lad delivered to the Big W a rrior believed, and many of the ludiaus took tLrie rifles and prepared fo. the war. 1 he reader will uct Le e•arprised to ;earn Cz:at an earthquake had produced all this ; but he will be. doubtiess,tb.t it should happen on the rcry day on which Tecumseh arrived at Detroit, and in exact ful filment of his threat. It was the famous earthquake of New Madrid, on the Mississippi. We received the foiegoing from the lips of the Indiana when we were at Tuelibabatchee, in 1527, and near the resi dence of the Big Warrior. The anecdote may there fore be relied on. Tecumseh's object, doubtless. was, on seeing that he had (ailed, by the usual ap peal to the passions, and hot es, and war spirit of the Italians, to alarm their fears; little dreaming, himself, that on the day nom( d his threat would be executed with such punctuality and tettible ASECDOTE Or HES nr Ctay.—He Was travelling in Virginia, and late one evening arrived at a fash ionable hotel in a very plain farmer-like dress, and stepping to the bar he enquired of the spruce bar. keeper if he could give hint a room.

The following letter, from Judge Henke, wilt fksi read witti'much interest. It wee addressed to a com mittee, appointed at a public meeting, in Allegheny county, fur the purpose of asking the sentiments of the Harrison candidate on the stilled of the (motet-1W principle. The letter is full or that frapkness fod which the Judge is distinguished, end, we ate cer• taitiNpeaks the sentiments of a large Majority.of the cititens of Pennsylvsnia:' 'GEN - lirllEN: I received yonr letter on Saturday evening'," in which resolutions of the DeMocratio citizens of Allegheny County were enclosed. By these resolutiona-my opinions and Views ifi - ielatiori to the OnO Term . principle are required, and to' this demand I now :pre a hasty and brief reply. That our State Eiecutiie should• bo limited to One Term, is an opinion which I have lung enter tained. In observing the operations of our system otGoveinment. the necessity of this principle was suggested to my mind, and has become more appa rent by the practice of every day. Su fully was I convinced of its practical utility, that I urged its introduction and adoption, to More than one mem. be of the late Convention to amend the Constitution of our State Although this amendment was not then made, the public demonstrations in its favor are now so strong, that there remains no doubt of its adoption, as part our Constitution, as speedily as the necessary forms %ill permit. 0, As regards the presidency of the United States. I look upon the One Term principle as having been firmly settled by the election of General Harrison : and that in the opinion of the Democracy of the ef.,9nirv, it is now as sacred and unchangeable. a. if it !tinned part of the written Constitution co. 29 Whether we regard the welfare and happiness of the Slat.', nr the purity of our elections, the propri. e i y of the cim principle is equally urgent. When an individual has been placed in the high. est Executive office in the state. this salutary limit should be placid to his ambition. Then there will be nothing lift for him to 4101 but the discharge of the duties of his high station for the public good. His own fair fame, the lasting esteem of his fellow citizens, and the happiness and prosperity of the country %%ill then receive his undivided attention. Ills deliberations will be no longer distut bed, nor his honest purposes and judgment distracted or suppressed by ahuous reflections whether a meas• ire will iner,asc or diminish his vote at the next c teflon. 'Muse considerations ore always exceed- ingly annoy log to the individual, and prejudicial to the public interests. This One Term principle will' do much to relieve the Executive from all undue party obligations, and the power of every improper semtonal influence. It ss ill put a termination to the too frequent, and often violent contests between the office-holders and the people, by which states, and even whole countries are sometimes most deeply convulsed. It accords, also, with the principle of rotation in office, which ! gives to our well digested system of democracy the most valuable advantages over every other form of • government. This One Term doctrine haa:my mostdeciderl ap probation I have laid it down as a fit rule for the government of others. arid under all circumstances will be willing to conform to it myself.
