    hanomixing, after the fashion of wealthier
professors, who exult in laying in a stock,
and securing the "cheapest in the enB."
To pay double, however, is not'the ex.
elusive affliction of the poor, nor is the at
tainment of cheapness the easy privilege of
the etch. The man of wealth, like the man
of need. must almost necessarily pay dou
ble. His wide-necked pose may distend
or collapse at his will; bat he must gener

He gives the best vtages, that his trusty
servitors may be beyond the reach of
temptation; and they sell his wax-lights to
his own chandler before they have burnt
half way- This is surely burning the can

doable.
The only choice he has, is, not whether
he will pay too much or enough,but wheth
er the sum to be purloined from him shall
be extracted from the right- hand pocket or
the left. He may reduce his establish
ment, and keep but a einele servant; yet a
tingle servant is quite sufficient to make a
man pay double. He may so watch the
aol tary extortioner, so cramp in his sphere

of ucdeviating honesty, as to prevent all
ordinary inroads upon his own pocket; hut
to do this,he must spend more in tim- thin

statute fair could relieve him from; more
in health than his physi-ian could restore
him in fifty visits. He weuld rob himself
of his pea's to save his purse. He would
hang himself in a twelvemonth, through
sheer anxiety to prevent another from in
cursing the penalty. He must keep his
eye open in sleep, and receive his guests
by the kirchen.fire. He must be prepared
to die the death of a martyr every di r•he
lived; which would be paying the debt of
nature—obt more than double,
But without rendering himself a slave to
servants or tradesmen, the rich man may
exercise an ordinary sagacity, and forestal i
the practicer of imposition. by striking off!
as an overcharge one.half of the emnunt of
every demand made upon him. Still,has
he any security—grantin g that his deduc
tion is Assested to—that he is not agreeing
even to pay doublet
'Five hundred is ton much for the mare,
Mr Sharpe; two hundred and firty is my
max i mum."Ruinousrreturn s Mr Sharpe;
`bet I must trouble your lordship to draw'
the check.' And the rich man still pays
double-
Such is the tenor of every verse through
out the chapter. An individual is seldom
so cunning as the world; and the world is
ever lying in ambush near the rich man's
pocket. If to counteract the effect of his
losses, and to retort the egg, e=sions which ;
he cannot avoid, he sues his debtors, n:-,
equeteaes his tenants without due secrecy
and method, then the world pounces, not
upon his pocket, but his reputation. He
i& detneged in character, ruined in temper,
hurt a little perhaps in conscience—and i
thusmain,to avoid the evils of overcharge,
hems double in another way. The rich
know that they are expected to pay, not at
an ad valorem rare , but according 'to their ,
own honor and ignity;' which exactly
doubles that of the class halfway down in I
the gulf of society:
Then it must be this class of personal
who seem to have just enough for their
wants without a superabundance,by whom
the penalty of paying double is felicitously
avoided 1 We shouid judge hastily in so
deciding. • They have their debts and diffi
cultism, and consequently their double pay
ments. like the notoriously rich and the ,
notoriously poor. They borrow money
at k hundred per cent., for the purpose, as 1
they prettily phrase it,of settling with their i
creditors and starting clear. They ex- I
pect to reeeiVe cash in September, and,
- buy upon trust in spring what they could
get et'halt price with ready money in the
autumn. They promise to pay, and really
do pay—for the stamp on which the prom
ise is written. Then follow law expenses,
and these soon leave more double pay-
mente far in the distance. When the prison'
door is double locked upon them, they that
have been paying in money and repute
—destroying their credit for probity, by
actually giving forty shillings for a sover.

But money (Heaven be praised) is not
the only aubstantial thing in this world of
debtor and creditor. There is such an an ,
title as love; but with the desperate deter.
initiation of securing it, men, corrupted by
habit in pecuniary affairs, will nut scruple
now and then to pay double—paying their
addresses, that is to say, to two ladies at a

FROM BUENOSAYRES
- -
The N Y Post has received intelligence
that Gov Roses has expelled the clergy of
the order of Jesuits from Buenos Ayres, in
consequence of their having refused to
hang up his portrait over the altar of their
church.as has been d toe by all other friars
in the city. Latet intelligence confirms
the fact of their expu'sion, but ase.gris a
different cause for it. On the 20th ult., the
Rev. Cabezas, of the company of
'Jesuits, addressed a memorial to His Ex
cellency the Governor,in tenor that the as
socisttug of the Rev. Fraucisco Mageste,
with them, to perform service in the church
of San Ignacio, in their city, had materially
altered their aituation;inasm uc h as the said I
Mageste, no longer belonging to the com
pany afJesuits,of which they are members,
they could not act with the unanimity so
necessary amongst individuals of the same
religious family, uniformity of action be,
ing impossible. His duty, therefore. cool
pelted him to solicit His Excellency to be
removed from the charge of the church of
San Ignacio, which he could not fulfil in
company with Mageste; but he was ready
Ito continue his official duties, alone, or as
sociated with any other clergymen of the
same profession, or in any service of his
ministty which might be deemed us
fuL—
Adding, that in whatever part of the world
Divine Providence might places him, he
should ever feel grateful for the many kind
nesses he had received train His Excellen
cy, and from the generous people over
whom he so worthily presides. On the
22nd, the Governor issued an order to the
Chief of Police, to inform the Rev. Jesuit,
Cabeza, and the other Jesuits in the Pro
' vinces,who are not secularised clergymen
similar to the Rev. Francisco Megeste and
lldeftnso Garcia, they that must,on or be
fore the 31st inclusive, quit the territory of
the Republic; and that, in making this
communicated, he was to read to each of
them, the memorial of the present decree.

It appeared that the parties hive been

quence of the jealous disposition of the
husband. The wife, who has been living
as servant with Mr John P Stag, in Broad
street, came down town in the evening to
visit an accquaintance in City Hall Place.
While she was there, her husband, who
had gained a knowledge of the fact, came
and cilled her outside, and on her coming,
he stabbed her near the region of the heart
in five different places, once in the back
arid also in the right arin. She was con

SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 18%3
Tie exposure ue gave yesterday of the
course pursued by several leading anti.
masons in 1842, towards the "Union Tick
et," has placed the Gazette in a unpleasant
position, and to call public attention from
the fact that many of their leaders, I fter
tricking the whigs into a union, voted
against such of that party as were on the
ticket, it attempts to get Jp a controversy
about the printing of a handbill! Deacon
White certainly does not suppose that the
pub'ic attach any importance to the privet
ing of the bill; the treachery consisted in
circulating it, and we are told that this
was dc no by several of the prominent an
timasons in Wilkins township. If out
neighbor wants names, let him inquire of
Messrs J and B Kelly and Mr C Snively; we
think they can satisfy him that our state.

The Dentin's mode of getting out of the
difficulty would be very amusing if it were
not so outrageously impudent. In.
stead of denying the charge that leading
antimasons circulated documents against
the whigs and voted against them in 1842,
lie gets into a furious passion about the
printing of a handbill, and calls on us to re..
ply to a string of interrogatories which the
public believe could be tnore readily an
swered by himself. We have no disposi
tion to humor his impertinence by replying
to his questions, but if Deacon White will
solemnly aver that he does not believe that
any antimason circulated the handbill r•o•
ferred to, or that any of them voted against
the whigs on the ticket last fall, and pro.
duce any respectable evidence that he
spook s th e truth, we may then think of an.
swering his queries. This we consider a
fair offer, and easily complied with; if the

The fi-et regular meeting for the mutineer:it or

evening. It was very large, and a determination

of the quality, price &c of his lands on the Ten
