Jefferson's Birth Day.
Thomas Jefferson was born on the 21
of April, 1748, eld style. The approach
of his cecturiai anniversary made it nieces
Pacy to consider what was the true day of
the tauuth on which it would occur, and
strange as it may seem, the question gave
rise to some difficulty. First, the 12th was
fazed upon, because, (1 presume) when
•
pope Gregory introduced the new style, in
1582, ten nominal days were omitted, and
the day following the 4th of October was
called the 15.1); so that the 2d of April O.
S. would be the 12th N. S. But the cen.
tonal years 1700 and 1800, which are leap
years in the Julian Calendar, are comm un
yea's in the Gregorian Therefore in the
18th century the two styles differ by 11
days, and ink the 19th by 12. Nuw as we
are at present in the 19th century. it his
been inferred that 12 days should be added
to compensate for the difference of styles;
and accordingly that the 14th was the birth
day of Jefferson. This was atso an error ;
because the change of the styles was made
in the English Calendar not in the 19th
but in the 18th century, when w')at would
have been the 3d of September 1752 was
called the 14th,-11 being the number t
be added. The following 2d of April 0.
S. was consequently the 13th N. S.. which
was from that time fimward the birth day
of Jefferson, and has been accordingly the
day always kept in Virginia.
I have madellahe foregoing remarks fur
the purpose of satisfying the admirers of
Jefferson, that, notwithstaadmg two fats..
reckonings, they were about to celebrate
his centurial anniversary on the true day
of its occurrence. X.

Usury Laws.
A new bill has been reported in the
Legislature of N. York amending the U—
auryLlws. It is liberal anal to our mind.
just in its provisions.
It abolishes the present Ittv ioflictin; a
penalty for
_taking more than fixed rate
of interest, while at the s tme time it de
nies all legal aid to the recovery of more
than the present filed rate in that state,
viz
7 per cant. In other words, the par
ties may agree upaz any rate they please,
without dagger of any penalty, but if the
debtor does not choose to pay without a
suit, no u t tre than 7 per cent cau be re•
covered on the trial. This affords certain-
ly a saffioient protecti in against extortion,
and it his th m-irit of b ng a step to
wards the establishment of the great demo
c: atic prinisiple that privite individuals
have a right to jud4e for themselves of the
m st expedient rn_ith id of promo:ilia' their
own interests, so long as they practice
neither fraud nor deception upon others--
a principle alike commended by consider..
etions of natural right and of the general
welfare. It is to be hoped that the bill
may pass, so that other states may witness
a fair experiment of :he po icy of freeing
mankind at large, from subjecii ri to L ,g
-islative guardianship, in in itters that con
cern only their own pi ivate interests,

Iw h en we consider the means used to keep
democrats from the polls, and to intimi—
date those who wait, from voting the lib
eral ticket. 'lie polls were closad at 5
o'clock in the evening, an hour before the
workingmen were done their labors, and
then every voter was obliged to endorse
his na ne on the back of his ticket, by
which means the wealthy employers were
enabled to discovet those who voted a•
gainst their wishes. Threats of proscrip
1 tion were freely used, and hundreds of poor
men who knew the heartlessness of their
opponents, stayed away. for• fear that by
voting as honesty dictated, they should be
deprived of the means of gaining a living
for their families. Bit if the people are
defeated now, they must ultimately t r i
umph; truth cannot be crushed for even
by such means as have deprived a majori

now in Sing Sing, atempied to eitapirfrom
his dresillikcell on the sth inst. A fellow•
prisoner raised an alarm that he had seen
him jump into the river. The bell rung
and diligent search was made for him in
vain. Aboct 9 o'clock, the agent sent up
an order for the Sing Sing Guards to turn
out and render their assistance. '['he
beating of the alarm drum was heard
in the silent hour of the night; and in a few
niotnents the village was astir. The
Guard matched to the prison , to patrol the
outskirts of the establishment, in order to
prevent the Colonel's escape—provided
he had committed himself to the river.—
But at daylight the Colonel's whereabouts
was notdiacnvered.
Aa soon as they could see, they set to
work to drag the river where the Col`
one 1 was suupposel to h Iva jumped
off, but they could not catch him—where
upon it was cunclucled he had gone for
good, either by land or water. Hut, to the
surprise of all,,the kaoper of the shop
where the Colonel worked, in looking into
a closet that was used for storing linings
for buots and shoes, discovered the gentle.
man who had caused so much trouble ,
nicely ensconced in one corner; with a
good supply of crarture c trifort—having a
bottle of brandy, with crackers and cheese
to make himself comfortable uutil he
could make his final exit. So it will be per
ceived, the Colonel was not so successful
in getting out as he was in getting into
