. THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE. The first number of volume second of this periodical, has been duly received, and Yeally in its beauty of execution and origin ality and variety of contents, excels cither 'of the numbers of the preceding volume, The present number contains a superb por trait and well written sktiich oftho biogra phy and services of Commodore Charlcs Stewart, and an' admirably executed engra ving of Ihe action between the U. 5. Frig ate Constitution and tho British ships Le vant and Cyan'c. Tho wholo work is ex ceedingly interesting; and although every body borrows, reads and praises it, yet few . ..... Iinvn nntl'rnrun nnnnir i In nilrftni-?n ,r v n are gratified that it receives ample patroiarc. As a s'amplo of the merits of the "Maga zine" wc 'oxtract the following introduction to the biography of Com. Stewart. It is the first urticlo in the present number and did not the biography occupy too much space, wc should publish it entire, believ ing that it would both commend the work, and gratify our readers. " Pennsylvania may i'ustlv claim the honor of ha ving contributed as lArgcly to theproud lUt ofAmcr- icau philosophers, 'statesmen, anil heroes, as any' oilier state in tho union ; and yet in consequence of uiu peculiarly uuusicmaiious auuuiiprcicnuiug cnu' racter of her people, shohas hitherto forborne to as umu tho rank, or lay claim to tho honor, to which thcnicrits ond services of her nons justly entitle tier. Kcpqsfng on the justice of this claim, and upon tho concession that she is tho " keystone of the federal arch," and that her honest, industrious, and patriot ic yeomanry are unrivalled in all the attributes that render a stato great, prosperous, and happy, sho has never singled out from the constellation of her sons, lor especial commendations, the 'bright and shining' fctars with which that Constellation is adorned, , What a gallaxy of glory is concentrated in the named of Franklin; Rittcnhqusc, Rush, Fulton, Morris, McKean, Wayne, Drown) Decatur, James Diddle, and Stewart I , llqw proudly do wc point to this arrav of industrious citizens I Tho world will perceive in this list the genius who snatched the lightning from thb skies ; tho man who wcnl deep jnto the mysteries of creation, and " Looked through nature up to naturc!s God and ho who, with a skill which .has rendered him immortal, encountered d'ciith at the sick man's bed, and stayed his uplifted arm : and he who by a cer tain modification of machinery, the result of his own all-conquering genius, lias filled the wotcrs with steam-boats, ond crpafed a new agefit in tho application of steam-power; he whn rescued the country from impending bankruptcy, in tho period oftho revolution ; and ho' who rivalled tho Cokrs and Mansfield of England, and brought order, har mony andellbct out of the confusion of tho law, and he who was the hero of Stony Point, tho hero of Fort Eric, and the conqueror of tho Macedonian the conqueror of the Penguin, nnd the conquorer of tho Cyanc and Levant, wcroall Pkn-xsylvamaxs. Wo are well aware that the fnno of the men belongs to the state, and that the humblest of its' citizens in herits a portion of their renown. TJia policy of Pennsylvania has been Ui appeal, notto her great men, nui to tier ireo institution io net siupcn dons public improvements, ami, her agricultultural, and almost boundless mineral .wraith, for the cvi. dences other lofty anil merited rank nnd power in the Union. For herself, as ti. state; she haj claimed much, and it has all been cheerfully accorded yet she lias claimed much, and it lias been slow in forc ing tho claims of her distinguished sons, forgetting the beautiful example of tha Kom.m mother who,' when asked for her Jewels, proudly pointed to her children. The writer of tjiis sketch has deemed theso ob servations due, not only to Pennsylvania, but to himself, and to tho subject of this biography. In presenting to the public a brief sketch of tho life of Commodore Churls Uleivart, it is but simple jus tice lo him to trace to tho unobtrusive character of his native state, that apparent indlffcrcuco to his history, which has suffered a long life of faithful cervices, amidst tio toil and perils of the sc&i aud of battles, to remain bo long unwritten. W'o cannot doubt that tlio fpllowing hasty notice of the lifo of this distinguished son of 1'innsylvt.h'a, which oro designed tfl supply this deficiency, will be an occept tablo offering to our fellow citizens, not of Pennsyl vania only, but of (ho Union. The facts detailed belong to history, and the only objects aimed at, in their publication, is to disseminate truth, and per form an act of justico to a meritorious and success ful vindicator pf.tho rights qf our common country, and a distinguished contributor to her renown for, "Thro' fire and smoke, and wind and wave, On every sea Drittanta call'd her own,'' he has for forty years, gallantly and triumphantly borno tho flag of his country. AFFAIRS IN CANADA. In another column of dur paper we have ' given, for the gratification of our readers, the latest and most important news from Canada. Sinco that was in type, we have received the spceialnessagc.of the Gover nor of the Statu of New York, to the Leg islature' in which ho states that the territo ry has been invaded, and somo American citizens murdered, by ai armed force from the Province ol Upper Canada. Ho also gives an account of the attack made upon the steamboat Caroline ; and recommends the speedy adoption of such measures as ays best calculated to protect tho lives of the citizens, and for tho maintenance of peace, Until the Gcnoral Government interposes with its power; Humour, no doubt, has been busy with her ten thousand tongues, and somewhat exaggerated the acccttnt of tho inhuman at tack upon the steamboat Caroline, wtncli wo most sincerely hope may be tho case ; but sbould it prove true, (and fearful fore bodings shako us as wo write,) direful con sequences may be tho issue. Whatever might have been the relative position ,of those in tho steamboat with respect to the Canada feuds, there can bo no justification for th'i3 hostile invasion, and brutal and in human butchery of American citizens! Great and fearful is the excitement which prevails in Buffalo upon tjic subject. A dark and portoutuoua cloud is fast gather ing, and we fear, that tho exasperated feel ings oftho citizens of Buffalo, will prove to bq but the drops that precede the coming deluge. That it is decidedly wrong for any of our citizens to interfere in this mattct, wc arc free to admit ; but when our shores are invaded, and peaceful and unoffending citl- Zens murdered in cold blood ! it becomes our duty then to demand from the British government, immediate and satisfactory re dress, for these unlawful and Unrighteous usurpations. JCrTresident VA.Btmr.N has issued proclamation under date of the Slh inst., warncslly exhorting all citizens of the Uni ted Slates, who have interfered in tho civil war in Canada, to return peaceably lo their homes. Those who do not comply with the request are threatened with arrest and punishment, and refused all aid or countc nance provided they get into difficulties. Hundreds of Americans are now'lighting in the ranks of.the Patriots ; and this warning voice shblilil havo somo effect in inducing them to desist froni any further violation of tho laws of tho United States. The expenditures of the government for the year 1837, on account of Indian treaties, were S!J74,0B3( ot wiiicli about 8000,00Q were in behalf of the Menomonies, Potto watomie's, Sacs and Foxes, and tho Florida Indians. The Eric (N. Y.) Gazetto states, that a lotiso was burnt in Ilarborcreek. in that county, on Saturday night last, and a Mrs. Turner, her two sons and a daughter, per ished in tne snow. A New York writer say; "Our. Banks, it is quite certain, will resumu specie pay ments May 1st. the day on which the sus pension of this Slate' ( New York) ex pires," The Governor of 'Maryland advises the Legislature of that State to pass a law im posing a ucgtslry Law upon the people ol JJaltimore. 1 ins 13 the patent plan ol red- eralism to restrict tho right of suffrage. ANTI-TEMPERANCE. We sometimes meet with amusing orig inals'in our exchango papers; but in tho last ''Easton Sentinel," tho proceedings of a public rrieeting havo not only amused us, but have exhibited an originality of idea and f eiitiment which wo havo never mot with on the same grounds. The meeting was call ed by anti-temperance men, who call them selves "the society for promoting peace and good order in tho village of Williamsburg, Northampton county. The resolutions are Unique and extraordinary in intention and 'sentiment, Tho preceding resolutions abuse I fA those Who find fault with neighbors for spiJUcatinglhey ridicule tho giving of written pledges as digraceful to human char acter; bpt in1 tho following resolution they irithrow out a gentlo hint to those of 'tho long black robe' which may probably require somo explanation. We extract tho resolu tion verbatim from tho "Sentinel" as fol lows : Resolved, That wo-cannot understand the mean ing of Christian Ministers who declare themselves free from sin, leaving the Pulpit and seoking after, young and inexperienced girls, whispering in their oars, and perhaps communicating to them n secret gospel, which tbey are ashsined to let tho world of largo know. A SIGN 1 Wo would respectively announce to his old friends and the public, that our estectu cd neighbor, Daniel Snyder, Esqt has again raised a "sign .of that good entcrtaininen which guests always find at tho Bar; tlio Table, or in chambers of his extensive hotel which heads our village and fronts the Western hemisphere. Lot. me tell unto you," there is no mistake in tho "sign" which indicates the determination of "mine host" to, gratify customeis, who may either be seeking good "Cogniac;" or comforta ble quarters for repose. jC7Tho "Wyoming Republican" of last week, was not received at this office ; but wo arc under obligations to tho "Ropubli can Fanner" for several extra numbors of their paper of the 3d inst. NORTHAMPTON BANK. The "Lcghigh Bulletin" says that tho notes of this institution have been bough in Allentownat 24 per cent, with shin plas ters. Truly this a beautiful encomium up on the character of the Bank at home, when its notes are current hero and elsewhere amongst people who know nothing of its situation or transaction. Hands off ! Tako no paper which is under par in its own neighborhood. ICF" P S. Since tho foregoing was in type, we have seen a contradiction to the above sigifed by some 30 or 10 citizens of Allentown, in which they pronounce tho repoits entirely unfounded.
