They are dear alike to the reproaches of all good men, which daily increase in force and fervor, and to the appeals for mercy to the stricken and suf- fering prisoner. The health of Gov. Doan, it would seem, still con tinues to decline, and his friends, more alarmed for his safety than ever, and feeling that if he is not soon liberated, Death will snatch him from the durance of his fiendish persecutors, are moving in his behalf, by calling public meetings, urging his liberation. A meeting was held in Providence, on Friday evening• the 30th of June, which was adjourned until the even ing of Thursday the sth instant. A committee was appointed to procure a place of meeting, "so that all the friends of Liberation might, without inconvenience, have an opportunity of patticipating therein." The -committee applied to the Mayor of Providence for the use of the Town Hall. He declined to grant the request, or rather referred the applicants to the City Councils, who by a large vote, refused to grant the use of the Hall!

BUFFALO.—The Buffalo Pilot is displeased 4N a letter which appeared in our paper from a correspond ent through NEM°, and visits us very gratuitously, we think with certain ill•natnred remarks, which "he refers," are sarcastic, severe and witty. The Pilot seems di.posed to hold us accountable for the unjust and ill-founded remarks of our con espondent, though he would, beyond question, be deeply aggrieved if we were to censure him for the blunders or false state ments of all who communicate articles for his paper. The editor is right in hissurreise that we intend to make a visit to that town, as soon as we can get time and the "needful." And it may be proper to add, (though • we do not make the remark with any dread of the Pilot I b , efore our eyes.) that we do not, by any means adop , tne opinions of our correspondent about the merits of the place.

Poisoning a whole Family.—A melancholy case of accidental poisoning occurred in Philadelphia on' Friday last. It appears a young lad', living in the family of Mrs Frances Mahone, on Friday morning, undertook to make and bake a batch of cakes of that kind known as "Maryland Biscuit," it being her first attempt. She did so and they were eaten for break fast. Immediately afterwards all who had eaten of them were seized with violent retching and some of the children were covered with red blotches. At first it was supposed that this resulted from their eating some fish the night before, but soon afterwards some other persons coming in, partook of the cakes, and were seized with retching in the same manner. The young lady who made the cakes, having eaten more than any one else, became deranged, and contin ued so for sometime. but recovered subsequently, and the rest are out of danger. Suspicions were excited against a grocer who had sold the lard with which the cakes were made, but they were totally unfounded, es other persons had purchased t he same article from him, at nearly the same time, without experiencing any in convenience. It is quite as likely that the young lady pit some wrong substance in the cakes through mis take. ~,:....s i.._~..::1 TOR THR POST GAtsgsron, 22d May, 1845 --~ ~ .~<.
