Funeral Ceremonies The funeral ceremonies, observed by the citizens of Allentown; and the surrounding Country, op Saturday last. in honor of the la mented Ez-Prisident, James K. Polk, was tru- • ly a magnificent affair. The day was a beau tiful one, and the time well selected. The toiling farmers, having at present a kind of vacuum, in their daily labor, brought thousands of our country people, to join in the solemnities of the occasion. We hardly recol lect the time, when we saw so many of our country friends in Allentown. At one o'clock the procession Was formed by the Chief Marshall and his assistants, on the ' Market Square in the following order:— The Bethlehem Artillerists—a splendid mili tary company by the by, under the command of Capt. Wilson, who visited our Borough on this solemn occasion, took the lead ; Committee of Arrangement; Orators of the day and Cler gy; Sons of Temperance; Cadets of Temper ance; Lehigh and Ilurnane Fire Companies; the different Lodges of Odd Fellows, including Unity Encampment. The procession moved up Hamilton street to the Borough line, down Hamilton to Allen, down Allen to John, down John to William, up William to Turner, up Turner to Allen, down • Allen to Hamilm, down Hamilton to Mrs. Greenleaf 's Lawn, where a rostrum was erect ed for the occasion. After a recess of a short time, the Hon. Sam. A. Bridges announced the exercises about to take place. Prayer by the Rev. Richard Ira/ker, Lulogi ums by the 11011. James M. Porter, in the Eng lish language, followed by the Rev. Jeremiah Siainde, in the German language, Prayer and Beneniction by the Rev. Joseph Dubs. The addresses occupied about an hour in their delivery and were both replete with much instruction. Anything we might say of them from recollection, would be but a meager out line. The authors may accede to a request to furnish the same for puplication. We may be permitted the gratulatory remark, in view of the general absence of all party feeling on occasions of this k hul l , It has often occurred to us, that if American liberty be in danger of an overthrow, it is only from' the excitements, conflicts and tumults of party strife. Perhaps, therefore : occasions of this kind, and the proceedings had thereon, are more beneficial in removing these causes of anxiety and distress, than the former can be detrimental. Publication of the Laws Our exchange papers are urging the proprie ly of effecting a reform in the mode of pub lishing the laws of the Commonwealth. In stead of issuing them in pamphlet form, as at present, it is suggested that they be published, immediately upon the adjournment of every Legislature, in all the newspapers in every County. If the old maxim that "Ignorance of the Law, excuseth no Man" is still in force, there can be• no doubt that the newspapers would be decidedly the most expeditious and effective channels for giving publicity to the Acts of our Legislature. They would, by these means, be placed within the reach oldie whole people, almost 'immediately after their enactment; while under the present system, six months usually elapse before the volume of . piffiphlet laws is printed, and the people rare ly see a copy. A few get in the hands of the Lawyers and Justices, and by far' the largest number are stowed away in the garrets of the public offices, where they moulder for a year or two, and then are sold fora few coppers, as waste paper. We go for publishing the laws in the newspapers; and if nny honorable legis lator wishes to win lasting popularity with "the craft," he has nothing more to do than secure the passage of an act to this effect. Why, it would not be going too fur to say, that a man might be made Governor by carrying this sin gle dpoint; for what newspaper in the State would hesitate to support the champion of the editorial interest ? The State Interests The Philadelphia * Evening Biffletin states, that there is now on deposiie, in the several banks of Philadelphia that have undertaken the payment of the State interest, about 6700,000 placed to the credit of the State Treasurer. The Treasurer of Philadelphia county, it is also said, will pay in 5200,006—making $.900,000, without reference to what may be received, in the mean time, from other parts. of the State. This will be the first time, we believe, since the Staie has resumed the payment of her in tereati that it has been able to meet the de *nand without a resort to .a temporary loan. The Treasurer of Lehigh county, Mr.,Loslitia Ranie, has paid into the State Treasury S. 1T,424, a gait of the quota. Day of Pasting and Prayer. Friday next is the . time reemnmended, by a President Taylor as day of Fasting, Humilia tion and Prayer, to be observed by the citizens throughout the United States. This move inent.of the. authorities, is in unison with the common sentiments of the people, and . we trust, the. day may every where be observed with Christian humility, and that it may please God in his wisdom to stay the scourge which is now afflicting the country. The following beautiful and appropriate verses were handed to-us-by our friend C. L. Lochman, for publica tion. They will he read with interest upon the occasion : Father ! Great Ruler of our land, Of heav'o and earth and sky, To-day a nation's voice is rais'd In pray'r, to Thee on high. • We humbly bond before Thy throne, In gratitude and lore, And thank Thee for those blesings — That come from Thee above %Vonlit'st Thou,Great God! put forth Thy arm, l'avert the deadly foe, That now„ with pestilential air, • Brings, sorrow, death and woe. Oh, stay its blasting, gloomy tide— Its fearfullnorial sway, Whose waves spread bitterness around, Sad mourning and dismay. Oh, bless our land with cheering healih— With freedom, peace and love, And grant that all our people here, ht godliness may move.

The !literary matter is entirely original,.and devolves much to the credit of the respective authors. The erh beflishments are truly beautiful, particularly the "Serenade". The likeness of "Theobahl Math ew" commonly called "Father Mathew." is said to he a very correct one. From his biography we learn that the philanthrophist was born at Thomoston, in the county of Tipperary, on the 10th of October 1790, he is consequently now in his 59th year of his nge. He arrived in New York a few weeks ago, where he was greeted by thousands of citi;ens. pimp Illeding:—A Camp Meeting for the Allentown Circuit, is to be held near F.rnans, Salsburg township, Lehigh county, commenc ing on Monday the 6th of August next. This, we believe, is the nearest Camp Nleeting to take place in the vicinity of Allentown. It will no doubt be largely attended by persons from Allentown mitt the surrounding country. Delaware Dirision.—Tho tolls collected at New Hope, on the Delaware Division for the present fiscal year up . to the 30ih June, amount to f. 6,617,30, being an excess of $3,062,90 over the same period last year. The number of boats passing New Hope, since the opening Of navigation on the-14th of March last, has been 3,523, of which number 1,049, have passed out or teturned thiough the out-let lock at Well's Falls.

W. WILSON, Chairman. WM. BUSH, Secretary. Bethlehem, July 28, 1819. 100,000 The Cholera 150.000 The Cincinnati Gazette presents a mournful picture of the imprudence of the mass of the people of that city at the present time. Not only do the multitude continue to eat of "for bidden fruit" and vegetables, but the intem perate use of intoxicating drinks is more ap parent than at any. previous period. It is to be regretted that the intemperate use of intoxicating drinks is not confined to Cincin nati. It is agetteral remark, too well founded ; that there is an unusual quantity of brandy drank in every locality. This is the result of the impression that its moderate use is saluta ry—forgetting that physicians only speak of it as a medicine to be used when medicine be comes necessary by derangement of the . sys tem. Laudanum, ihubmb, camphor, &e. are recotnmended; but very lew deem it discreet to partake of them %%bile in a state of health. To do so would be to hasten disease, and such, we are assured, is the effect of brandy upon a healthy person. Singular Changc.—Mr. John Stotz, says the Easton Argni, of Nazareth, in this county, who had been afflicted with a kind of melancholy sickness, or partial derangement of 'the mind, for the last 8 years, and doting which period hp had not spoken a word, last week sudden ly returnectto his usual reason, to the great de light of his friends and acquaintances. He at tends to his business as formerly, and expres ses great joy for his restoration. lie is entirely unconscious of any thing that took place dur ing his mental derangement. An Editor in Luck—Col. James S. Wallace, editor of the Philadelphia Daily Sun, has been appointed an Inspector of Customs for the Port of Philadelphia. The Colonel is a sprightly and energetic writer, and has rendered efficient service to the party in power. Wrigular Longerity.—The National Intelligen cer says, it deset vet mention as an extraordinary circumstance that, the (mural of Mrs. Madison, on Monday, were present two of her old friends who were both present at her first marriage with Mr, Todd, sixty years ago, and the latter of whom was also present at her second marriage with Mr. Madison. We allude to the venerable Mrs. Eliz abeth Lee, widow of Mr. Richard Bland Lee of Virginia, and Anthony Morris, Esq., of Pennsyl vania. Adeerlising.—Somebody, we know not who, in an exchange paper, says . with truth, that a man's advertisement in a Newspaper is a locomotive , sign•board that travels about and is seen by thousands daily. Think of that, you non.adver. tisers, and then reflect why it is ye get no custom. Some other sensible fellow has said that where one man reads a merchants sign, a hundred will read his advertisement. Bucks County Aln•; House.—We learn that out of 160 inmates in this ilstitution, there were, up to the 30th of ninety•eight deaths from chol era. All this mortality has occurred (luring the past nine days, and on Saturday last the deaths numbered twenty-one. Cholera Despatches.—New York, July 30—The Board of Health report for the twenty-four hours ending noon, July 31, 189 cases of cholera and 71 deaths. •• Cincinnati, July 30.—N0 Cholera report has been made for the last two days. W:e have had a very heavy rain to-day- • COMMUNICATION. The Coopersburg Post Office Mn. EDITOR—Not Mr. Editor, Sir!—but plain Mr. Editor: • It must be admitted. that among all the estab lished Sciences; none has contributed so much towards the developement of Nature's mysteries, as Chemistry: For, not only are we enabled through its agency, to (live into Mineral and Veg etable kingdoms, and ascertain the mysterious laws,.by which they are respectively governed, but by the aid of Philosophy, we can now apply it to still more important purposes, and hence forth analyze not only things Teri:aid . hut noth ingness itself ! The idea, that it could be applied to such a purpose, never occuredlo my mind, until chance threw into my way a certain comtnunication in last weele(ollegister," over the signature or Jus titio, in which mention is made, that Chemistry was to be used to extract truth out of tny commu nication,.of the week previous, which the writer affirms, over and over, is not contained in it. Veilly:this is rib - Wang-a good science to no pur pose. Tieing somewhat of a chemist myself, I for the sake of novelty, went to work and put Justitia's production into a crucible, reduced it to ashes and extracted the following epulents: Sulphate of Folly, - 56 5 Carbonate of Anger, - - - 40 5 Oxide cf Philosophy, - 6 Super-Carbonate of Crammer, - .056 Peroxide of Wit, - - - 0 Sulphate of Truth, - - - a trace Fragments of Congy,Smith, Mur ray, Blackstone, Paul Pry, Sec. 2 344 as a residuum. . 3 -- Total, - - - 100 00 You will see by the above, that it must have been a pretty compound indeed! The writer commences with an olier of a situ ation as contributor to certain newspapeis. which he names, and with the contents of which he seems to be quite familiar. Never having heard of them before, I can of course not accept of his offer, and would urge him to take the sit ution himself; for let their character be whatever it may, he can contribute to theit columns with out any distressing twitchinge of a troublesome conscience. Dy the. by;The tritingirs must have regarded this as a capital hit—for the Philosopher had hawked it about the township, all last week, before it was published, from ,which I judge it • must have been a joint concoction. Gentlemen! It is a small affair, containing neither Wit nor Sarcasm. As to the location of Locust Valley, I stand corrected. Oh, La! What are we not coming to ? Who would have thought, that good old unsophis ticated, honest, Gass, would ever get so proud as to metamorphose itself into saucy, romantic and Philosophic Locust Valley? Well so we go— progress is the word ! Justitia's recommendation about employing a finersieve in my next sifting, is superfluous. The lone of his communication' shows that it was fine enough in all conscience. He says my assertion that only 12 or 15 per sons had attended the meeting, is "false and un founded," but avoids saying how many more were on the ground. My information was deriv ed from one on the spot, and an authority which Justitia would not be apt to gainsay—so you see that it is not my were saying so. Your mere saying so, Mr. Justitia, will no more make my statement false, than my saying so, would make a Lawyer out of yoti: There are certain inher ent circumstances necessary to make and un- make things Justitia takes it in high dudgeon, that I called particular attention to the fact, that the President had not understood the object of the meeting. Well, the proceedings so stated it. li t certainly did not insult or disgrace the worthy President; it was Atom by the writer of the proceedings. It was positively so' stated, "that the President not being fully acquainted with the object of the meeting, G. W. Ftrring, stated it, &e..." Now, what does this imply! If words mean any thing, it means just what I said, viz: That the Presi dent did not know, what the assembling of that vast concourse was for; though Justitia says he was almost the first at the meeting, and The first to express his indignation. Now, either the pro ceedings or you must state a falsehood, or lang sage has ceased to express ideas. Against the President I have no ill feeling, not knowing him even by sight, but hear him repre sented as an honest, upright, unsophisticated tnan, and if he has been traduced, it is owing to ' the characters amongst whom he happened to be. Had he, I venture to say, understood the object of your meeting,l am pretty sure he would not have been among you. I doubt very much, whether he would have been willing to • aid a few office hunting Demagogues to manufacture indignation ' for the benefit of Buncomb. But what surprised me, was, that men of such lofty pretensions, were green enough to insert such a paragraph in pro ccedings, intended to operate on such men as the author found to his cost, bad charge of the P. 0. Department at Washington. If Justitia can see nothing extraordinary . in all this, is, because he is extraordinary himself. If the President will shun me as a pestilence, of course, it will not be. possible to get near enonghto tell him to his face that he was begged to attend the meeting—if he, however, will ,hold still for a short time, I tid/1 dare to tell him, and you too Mr. Justitia! But now, Bona reader, I have to touch a string, that I would rather not. Only think of it! a Lour yer unable to detect a tyrographical error; which would disgrace a school boy to see at the first glance! ' Uin•kindled for enkindled f• (for neav ens sake Mr. Compositor lake nn e) And to write a quill to the stump, to magnify the error of the printer! Justitia, you are a much smaller pota toe, than I ever took you to be—and if your com munication is a specimen of your grammatical knowledge ? I think a little Murray added to the Blackstone in your head, would make a vast ad, dilion to your attainments. I object to the article iiihe" in your proceed; tugs, because it was plaCed there to impress the idea on the P. M. General, and the public at a I distance, that your meeting had been an import ant affair, which you well know, was not the case 7 ... and your speaking as: Me citizens of Upper • Saucoa displayed a vast deal of audacious impti ' deriee, to say the least of it, so I thought' proper to set the matter right. If you are afraid of your corns, keep your toes in. 7 that is all.- It is very true, that I do not attend many pub lic meetings,hence mny not he so well acquaint ed with "parliamentary rules" as a certain person I know of, still I should be happy•to be referred io any proceedings of a public meeting, worded as you worded yours, and I give you the State of Pennsylvania as a scope to hunt it in. Your assertion that your ideas about your own importance, are lofty, is a superfluous one; we all know that ! Whether you arc some of the good citizens of Upper Saucon, is not so clear— at least to a vast portion of your fellow citizens. Mendacium, I must decline as a signature, it is neither adapted to me by nature or inclination, It is however very appropriate to yourself, indeed nature made it indispensable to you. "A Man that argues his own cause, has a fool for a client" is a trite saying no doubt. How apt a man is to quote professional proverbs! But your arguing your own cause, at the time you quoted the proverb,,made you the victim of your own wit,,mr. Justitia! ' “Nrit n man present at the meeting had any !king to do with the removal of the Salmon Val ley Post office." Mr. Mendacium, were you not afiraid, your India Rubber conscience would break, when you penned this sentence I know of two at least present who were signers to Weid ner's -petition for removal, and I heard of another 'reported to have been present. A man who will tell such a barefaced falsehood, knowing at the same time that it is a falsehood, is beneath my contempt. You were pleased Messrs. Triumvirs, with Mr. Bridges, when he aided to get the &mum Valley Post office re-established, wereyou 1 The very way you get over the charge, betrays you. How ever, "for the sake of the mistress the lover shall . be spared.". Mr. Justitia dares me to name more than 14 houses around Centre Valley, within half a mile distance, here they are: Wetherhold's, Berger's, Buehlers, Miters, Erdman's; Gross' Mrs. Green ewald's, Landes', W letter's, Sleifer's, Zeinee's. Beliringer's, Arnold's, Marsteller's, Geisinger's, Yerke's, Kaufman's, Frank's, Yoder's, Meyer's, Wind's, Bnchecker's and Miss Weaver's. These are undisputable within half a mile. Sterner's, Beck's, brenkler's and Beidler's, are perhaps on the outskirts—count them, and you have 27 dwelling houses I said in my communication "houses or families"—and counting the families would swell it up to 30, as I represented. Npw, Mr. Justitia, I dare you to make out more houses. —I mean dwellings, and not barns and shops— then I allowed you 32, andyou will have to stretch your half mile, as much as your conscience, to get even that number—name them sir ! I have now done with your folly, Mr. Justitia, and shall speak to'you in earnest ; for it is high time' that we and the public understand each other. I will nut demean myself by calling you a puppy, I am satisfied with having proved you one, so let me conie to the point: 110 w comes it, Mr. Justitia, that you and your worthy coadjutors, in all your rigmaroles, never once mentioned the !rye cause, of the removal of your Post office ? You all know it, it was not because the Saucon Valley Office was , unjustly removed, nor out of personal malice, as you meanly represent. Where is the "interesting correspondence," promised 10 be laid before the public by your worthy allies in Allentown, about the real cause of the removal 1 Eh ! Where are the Documents? Out with Mein, fur they will place you where you rightly belong—beneath the sympathy and contempt of all honest men. In the first place, ycMare perfectly well aware the removal of the Saucon \ Tslley office, was not the immediate cause of the removal of your Post Office. I acquit you of direct agency in that busi ness, though I consider you amply mean enough to have taken an active part, had they deemed your services of any consequence. I acquit the triumvirate on that score, and have from the first, placed the•saddle on the right horse. What I condemn in you, is, that you approved of such a dirty piece of business as that was, and had not the manliness to frown on its contemptible au thors. You mind your own business and do not meddle in °liter peoples affairs, do you. We will see—Well, it is equally well known to you, that the removal of that Office was the cause of the removal of the Township election from I.Veidners to Coopersburg—and had a place for holding it at, been then in existence, in the centre of the township, it would never have gone to Coopers burg. Mr. Weidner shortly after gave up keep. ing public house, and notified the citizens that they have to take the general election likewise from his house, as he would not have any thing further to do with it. As an erudite disciple of Blackstone, you must be aware, that to remove the general election to another place, required an act of the Legislature, petitions of our citizens were sent to which, praying fora law leaving it to the people to decide by ballot, where they wish. ed it to go. Two years ago last spring, at the township election it was voted on, and decided in favOr of Coopersburg. The reason why it was voted there, was because a very small vote was polled, the weather and roads making it almost impossible for those at a distance—those that are ' I really aggrieved—to get to the Election, while the immediate vicinity of Coopersburg had turned out every vote, and by dint of hard'electioneer ing and begging, on the part of the Triumvirs, they succeeded in getting it to Coopersburg. This is all proved by the records, and I would ask the public, is this justice I True a majority of the votes present were cast in favor of that place ; but does any sane man believe that the majority of the whole people of the district are in favor of it! If there is such a one, I can assure him that he has but a poor opinion of their sense of jus tice. Well, it is natural, that those compelled to go from one extreme end of the township to the other to the. ElectiOn, are much disatisfied on ac count of having it held in one corner, and hence caused petitions to be circulated last winter, praying the Legislature to change the place 'from COopersburg to Wetherholdsor if they would not do that, give the people the power to vote on it. These petitions were signed by a clear majority of all Me voters in the township. Did it avail any thing I The Senate it is true had a bill passed to that effect, but when it came to the house, It was smothered!. And by whose agency a~ .t. , .. - 4 ^.. I do you suppose good readerl Why titroagh'ther triumvirate of course. The most infamoui false hoods and misrepresentations •tyete continually written, to Harrhburg, in regard to it—and al though a clear inajortiy of affithe voters had pe titioned, a few fools had more influence than elf the people oil the ienYtts . hip put, together, though what they :lard was nothing but bare justice to all. What excuse, do you suppose, was made bye some ofour worthy representatives, for disobey- . ing the majority of our citizens? Why they said) names to any petition could be obtained with' perfect facility !! This may be so in some pla ces—aye I have reason VI believe that it is so,. but, in our good old Batman it is different. Why dill not the triumvirate circulate their certificate• for a character fur veracity here ? Eh llf signatures are obtained herewith "perfebt facility to any• thing" why dill you go to. Allentown for them V The fact is, our people will readily sign in favor of having the election in the centre of the town , - ship—but get them to certify to your characters• - for - veracity—there - thercome - ta - a - dead - halt! Being regularly informed as to how things• were going at Harrisburg, and what was done there by the triumvirate during the winter; caused' .
