Her carriage is frequently seen for hours at the door
tt the great public institution for the relief of the dis
tressed: she is indefatigable in rag-fairs—she never
omits presiding in all the dignity of full blown beauty
at one of the best filled tables in all the charitable ba
zaarsa—ber name heads every list of s ubscribers to the
building of churches, or for the getting out of missions
—she has educated several young clergymen at her
own expense—has adopted and portioned vivo yountr,
girls, who, under het influence, went out as missiona
ries to die in foreign lands; and, in short. she is a model
of excellence and liberality. Do you doubt that Mrs.
Blazon is a most worthy and respectable member of so
ciety? Let us inquire of her servants—of the humble
dependants upon het bounty—of the poor, whom she
conscientiously relieves by furnishing them with em
ployment. Let us inquire of them if she be truly the
'kind and generous benefactress whose steps glide soft
ly around the couch of sickne 35, whose smile sheds sun
shine over the squalor of poverty, whose hand is as rea
dy to do as her heart is prompt to impel to deeds of
good. Let us see whether her wealth dues not afford
her the power, as she has the will, to grind the face of
the poor—to wring from the hands of penury the means
of purchasing cheaply her r eputation for charity. Let
us ask her to point out the wretched abode of her bus
lma's children—the offspring of that woman who
into
sa
ved her early years from beggary. Let us look
the suffering hearts of those who should now be enjoy
ing a portion of that wealth which :heir father's widow
lavishes in charity. Lie us read in their blighted faces
the misery, the privation, nay, the. vice which poverty
has brought upon them: and then we may determine
the claims of the excellent Mrs. Blazon to that respect
ability which the world so willingly accords.
What would Colonel Hearty say to one who should
doubt his right to a domination in the region of respect•
ability? Is there a man in the country who dresses bet
ter?—who drives finer horses?—wilo drinks better
wine?—who gives more luxuriant entertainments?—
who throws open his house more freely to the claimsof
hospitality? Why the Colonel is the very model of a
fine, frank, free-hearted, cordial, whole-souled fellow
—whose brilli ant qualities are so dazzling that we can
not see those dull and homely virtues which other men
prize. We like him too much to analyze his chatac
ter he tells us a story so graphically, sings a sang with
such a grace, pays a c ompliment so delicately, and
withal is so courteous, so kindly, so affectionate in his
manners, that we should be most unreasonable to ex
pect any gold beneath a soil so full of flowers. The
Colonel is a most devoted father, and has succeeded by
dint of adroitness and finesse, in marrying s pretty
daughters to advantage, while his sons have hi all been
provided foe in the army and navy by the aid of hi; Pd.
ents for good fellowship. Is not the Col. a respecta
ble, as well as amiable, member of society? We need
not remember that his wife died years since broken
hearted, from his neglect and ill-treatment—that his
aged mother was left to wear out le‘r life amid the cold
charity of strangers—that his eldest son perished in a
hospital in a foreign land while the father was staking
at a gaming table the money which was required to bring
the boy to his home. We need not reral the three sev
eral bankruptcies of the much pitied Colonel—we need
not specify the trust money of the widow and orphan
which have been swallowed up in these failures, and
which have never sincebeen restored to their beggared
owners—we need not listen to the daily dups which
haunt the door of the man, who lived for years on "
interests of his debts." The Colonel is a fine fellow;
and, while he ves in a three story house, drinks cham
pagne, and giv li es dinners, he is certainly a respectable
man.
Reader, do you judge as the world judges? Do you
u
value the tinsel of outward seeming, beyond thefine
of real worth? Remember that every time you offer
the hand of fellowship to a man you despise--every
time you make one amid the crowds which throng the
drawing room of a WOMarl whom your purer soul con
temns, you 'are aiding - them in the establishment of their
claims to respect; silencing within your bosom that
truthful monitor, which is n sort of instinct to the soul

THE NEW YORK FORGERIES.
Ragee and wife, charzed with assisting young Saun
ders in his forgeries, were examined on Thursday and
Friday last. The examination was quite private, but
the Expresssacs: —
We
u nderstand that Ragee denies all knowledge of,
or participation in, the. forgeries. The wife testified
that the money was left at the house about 2 o'clock on
the day of the forgery. It was enclosed in a wrapper
and directed to her in Saunders's hand writing. She
knew from whom it came, and said nothing to her hus
band about it, till the Monday after the forgeries,
(which occurred on Thursday ) He wished her to give
it up but she refused, saying she would wait till Saun
ders got back and let him return it himself to his em
ployers. After the officers called upon her and asked
her questions, she became alarmed lest they might
search the house and find it, and suppose that she and
her husband were guilty, and then disposed of the mon
ey as has been already stated.
Her husband afterwards suggested the prophet
of
getting the box again, and returning the money, ut she
would not permit it, saving, as before, it was better to
wait till Saunders returned, and make him give it back.
The black woman disclosed the secret,which led to the
arrest of herself and husband. as already known.
Ragee and his wife are natives of one of the French
West India Islands. and came here last December with
letters of introduction to the German Consul; they are
exceedingly genteel in their deportment and manner.
He is about 24 years of age, and the wife 22. They
boarded, at the time of the arrest, in a house kept by
three highly respectable ladies in Canal street, one of
whom is the widow of the late Henry Ulshoeffer, (broth.
er of theJadge) who gave them a most excellent charac
ter for eorrec4leportment and general good conduct.—
Ragee, we believe, has not been engaged in any business
since his arrival in New York.
Ragee was fully committed. The examination then
proceeded .in relation to the charge against the wife.

r"The Advocate has a long article vindicating its
candidate from our charge that he is a super
annuated politician; and very complacently concludes
that "he is sure of all the electors over-56 years of
age"—thu; inferring that- all the -"old fellows" will
make common cause with Judge B. in order to prove
"their own capacity for civil office." We are sorry to
say that even if the elderly part of the voters could be
imbued with a sort of esprit da corps that would in
duce them to go for one of their number in order to
vindicate their rights and capacities; the whig candi
date would be effectually headed, for Jude Witstas
is, webelieve, somewhat older than Judge 8., though
tolook at the two men together few would suspect it.
The Advocate, however, might easily have perceiv
ed that we alluded not to the age of their candidate as
it mightbe *shown by the calendar—but to the fresh
ness and vigor of their respective capacities to serve
the constituency of this county in that important field,
the Congress of the United States.
Judge Witittms has taken an active and prominent
part in state and national politics ever since the year'
1818. He has devoted to political disquisitions al
most the whole energy of his mastermind, and:wheth
er in or out of the public service, he has exercised ve
ry considerable influence over the political movements
of his section and of the country - tt large. It is this
sort of training that makes a man most efficient as a le
gislator, and enables him to serve his fellow-citizens
with credit to himself and valuable results to them.
Judge BRACKENItIDGs, although it cannot be denied
that he has had a considerable share of office, was ne
ver strictly a politician. He chiefly devoted himself
to law and to literature, and but occasionally to politi
cal matters. From 1823, when he was not reappoint
ed Judge in Florida, he has lived in comparative re
tirement till 1840, when the whips accidentally tho' t
of him to fill a vacancy in Congress.
During his whole career he never was prominent in
politics.—and in the long interval we speak of (from
'2B to '4O) he would necessarily grow "rusty" and an
tiquated in his political acquirements, and would not
keep up with the progress of political events.
In view of these facts, we drew our comparison be
tween these rival candidates—and we repeat the opi
nion that the result of the voting will prove that a ma
jority of the frcernm of Allegheny county agree with us
• as to their respective merits.

in supposing that it applied the word "scavengars" to
any of the candidates on either of the regularly

a few politicians in this county that they cannot in fa-

We think there are but few who would not under

the 'writer intended to apply the word "scavenger"
to any that had been nominated heretofore. or that
might be nominated :hereafter. But as our neighbor

The returns still indicate that Mr. Anderson is elect
ed. In the towns given in the table, he stands 900
votes better than Fairfield did in 1910, when the ma
jority in the state against Mr. F. was but 163.
The returns for senators and representatives are fa
vorable to the democrats so far as a choice has been
effected. There appeals to be little or no doubt that
Ia sufficient democratic majority will be found in both
,ranches to elect Anderson, (if not chosen by the peo
ple) and elect all state officers.
In Penobscot county there is not a whig representa
tive elected, and io Pi seataquis county not one represen
tative of either party, so far as heard from!

In reference to the Urbana Bank, the Court of Com

dered the Special Receiver of the Bank to distribute
the moneys on hand among the bill holders. The a

amount. Due notice of the matte' will be riven by

(not the lady of that name who was ill in the hospital
some time since,) died yesterday of the yellow fever.
She had recently arrived from the north, and died after
an illness of 61X days—amartyr to the noblest and most
beautiful of the Christian virtues—to a profession re
quiring the loftiest courage and the purest disinterest
, edness and magnanimity of which human nature is ca
pable.—N. 0. Bulletia,Scpl. 5.
DUBLIN
Mr. Weed, of the Albany E /ening, Journal, having
returned to the Irish Capital, from his British tour,
writes thus:
"We are detained here for the friends who went by
coach through Wales; but it is no hardship to pass a
day or two in Dublin. Your only cause of regret here
is, that a city with every element of prosperity within
and around it should exhibit nothing but the perishing
monuments of its manufactures and its commerce.—
Here is a population as intelligent, as enterprising, as
industrious, as patriotic and virtuous, as any that lives;
and yet their canvass is scarcely seen upon the Atlan
tic; their looms and shuttles stand still; you neither hear
the hammer, click, nor see the anvil spark; the Mar
iner lingers despondingly about the quays; the Me
chanic seeks in vain for employment; the Shopmen
sits listlessly behind his deserted counter; and the
Agriculturist, though he causes the bountiful earth to
bring forth its gifts, sees the fruits and the fatlings of
his toil and his care rapaciously devoured by his op-
pressors
Who, therefore, in view of these wrongs, and with
a knowledge. of the causes that produce them, can fail
to "sympathize" keenly with Irishmen! And above
all, what AMERICAN who remembers the generous
alacrity with which Irishmen shed their blood in the
' two wars we have been compelled to wage for the
achievement and maintenance ofour National existence,
can withhold his prayers for the disenthralment of Ire
land! It is consoling to see and to know, as I do, tivt
the cause of REPEAL is acquiring a moral power and
energy that will tell with prodigious effect upon those
who presumptuously threaten TO PUT IT DOW' BY
FORCE!
The hands and hearts of the Repenters here are
strengthened and cheered by the mix.iliayy movement;
of their friends in America. Nor are these movements
without their effect upon the Tory Minister. This is
not the age of ascertaining the right either of Nations
or of individuals by brute power. We live in an Mu

FATHER NI ATH Elx.—A London Correspondent of
the journal oCCommerce says:
"The effect of Father Mathew's addre:tses is said to
he beyond all conception, singularly insinuating, seduc
tive, convincing, and overpowering-, and we all know
that his manners are gentle, mild and endearing., whilst
his object is so great, glorious and ennobling. He is
certainly the Lion of London at present, and draws a
ronld him the good of all ranks and conditions of men,
and those who wish to become so."
