We agree wiih the editor of the "Vicksburgh
Sentinel," that the celebration of Thomas Paine'a
birth day on account*of his 'political opinions,
would be a festival worthy of the American peo
ple. But the honest weed of' praise that every
true republican would cheerfully award to Mr.
Paine for his powerful and successful efforts in the
cause of (goal rights during the early struggles
of out country, arc checked by the intemperate
admiration of those who extol him for, his pe
culiar notims on religious questions alone. Those
who have read his political writings cannot bu t
admire his patriotism, and for his devotion
to the cause of liberty the whole American pens
ple would cheerfully yield him all praise. But
at the Paine celebrations of late years, the patriot
is almost furg awn, and the in Clef and scoffer of
religion alone toasted and eulogized. If our
Vicksburgh friend has p lid any attention to these
celebrations he must ;rave noticed this fact, and,
in common with every American who has a feel
ing of veneration for the early patriots, regret
led that the fair fame of one of the most zealous'
advocates of freedom, should be destroyed by the
industry w'th which a few persons exalt his eon , .
tempt (*Jr religion and its happy influences.
While such feelirgs govern these festivals, we
cannot believe that they are designed for any oth
er purpose than to cherish the memory of Paine
the infidel, while Paine the pabiet and philan

The Cancellation Bill Passed.—The

until the whole of worthless currency is
taken out of circulation.
From henceforth, therefore, we date
the commencement of the renovation of
our currency. Being received bt the
Treasury for all dues to the commonwealth,
even this currency will continually increase
in value, and before a year, we predict,
that we shall once more have a currency
in Pennsylvania based upon the precious
metals and at all times and places convert
