(U V. f. Palmer, Esq., at his Real Estate
and Coal Office, No. 59 Pine street, below Third,
'two squares S. the Merchants' Exchange, Phila.,
and No. 1G0 Nassau street, (Tribune buildings,)
N. Y.,is authorised to receive subscriptions and
advertisements for the Jeffersonian Republican,
and give receipts for the same. Merchants, Me
chanics, and tradesmen generally, may extend
their business by availing themselves of the op
portunities for advertising in country papers which
his agency affords.
Important to Housekeepers.
We call the particular atteniion of our read
ers to the advertisement in another column of
Mr. William II. Schlough's Confectionary,
Fruit and Grocery Store, and bespeak for him
a share of public patronage. His establishment
is fitted up in firt-rate style, and he is prepared
io furnish everything in his line of business.
His articles too are all fresh and of a superior
quality, which he will sell at very moderate
prices. Give him a call.
To our Patrons.
It is now more than a year since we public
ly called upon our subscribers to pay up their
arrearages. During that time, we regret to
say, we have collected very little but few of
our subscribers showing the least disposition to.
liquidate their claims. The demands against
us for money, at present, is large, and we are
under the necessity of looking about to procure
the means of meeting them As Court com
mences in Stroudsburg on Monday next, we
have thought it a good plan to make an appeal
to our patrons to embrace that opportunity of
calling upon us and settling their accounts.
Many of them owe for several years subscrip
tion, which although comparatively little to
them, is collectively large to us. If this call is
liberally responded to, wo will then be in pos
session of the means, to carry on our operations
as we wish, and make the Jeffersonian Repub
lican still more worthy of the favorable regard
of the community. We have now plainly sta
ted our case to our patrons, and hope they will
not be backward in complying with our imall
request.
American Independence.
We are on the eve of another 4th -of July,
the day which gave liberty and independence
to the people of the United States. It is a day,
which above all other days should awaken feel
ings of honour and respect in the breast of ev
ery person towards those worthies who gained
for us the rich and inestimable boon which we
are now enjoying and at the same time rev
erence and love to Hfm who controls the des
tinies of nations, and hold their fate in the
palms of his hands.
Funeral Ceremonies.
Monday, July 7th, has been fixed upon by
the citizens of Stroudsburg, as the time for pay
ing respect to the memory of General Andrew
Jackson. There will be a funeral procession,
and an Eulogium by John D. Morris, Esq.
IVol Guilty.
The trial of Abner Parke, which occupied
the Court at Belvidere, twenty-six days, was
concluded on Saturday evening last, when the
jury, after having been out nine hours and a
half, returned with a verdict of not guilty. The
prisoner was defended by Alexander Wurts, of
Flemington, N. J. and A. E. Brown, of Easlon,
who conducted his case in the ablest manner.
The arguments of both, wo are informed by
those who heard (hem, were eloquent and con
vincing and place them in the front rank of
their profession. This is the second acquittal,
but two more indictments remain undisposed of
against him. Parke is now at large upon bail.
We cannot say whether he will be tried again.
The New Post Office Law.
The new postage law went into operation on
'Tuesday last, and such of our subscribers as
Reside within thirty miles of Stroudsburg will
hereafter receive their papers free of charge.
" Annexation.
We have not yet received any intelligence of
the action of the Fexan Congress on the sub
ject of Annexation. That body met on the 1 6th
of June. It seems to be conceded by every
one, however, that annexation is unavoidable.
Iron. ore, excellent in quality, and inexhaus
tible in quantity, has been discovered in the vi
cinity of Milton, Union county, in this State,

Tbe Warren Murders.
The counsel of Joseph Carter and Peter W.
Parke, have had writs of error allowed in those
cases by the Chancellor of New Jersey, which
will be argued in the Court of Errors and Ap
peals the latter part of this month. If error
should be found in the proceedings of the Su
preme Court, new trials will be granted.
Rhode Island Liberation of Thom
as W. Dorr.
A postscript in the Providence Herald an
nounces that the amnesty bill was passed on
Thursday in the Senate and on Friday in the
House ; that an authenticated copy of the bill
was brought to Providence on Saturday, and
immediately taken to the prison, with a carriage
for the removal of Mr. Dorr. At half-past 3 on
Saturday afternoon hundreds of citizens, the
Herald says, were crowding round the prison
door to get a glimpse, &c. BicknelFs Reporter.
The Hon. Wm. Cost Johnson, has recently
been engaged in the settlement of an extensive
land claim in New Orleans. The Frederick
Md. Herald, says his services have been re
warded by a delicate compliment to his abilities
in the shape of a $100,000 fee.
JJj3 David Naar, the English " democrat"
and advocate of American Free Trade, who
was on the stump in this county urging the
election of Mr. Polk, has been appointed com
mercial agent of this country at the Island of
St. Thomas, in the West Indies. A singular
ly appropriate choice for our free trade and
democratic' President. Belvidere Apollo.
The appointment of Capt. Rynders, of the
Empire Club, to a place in the New York Cus
tom House, naturally excites comment from the
press though certainly it is no occasion for
surprise.
The New York Express says that a large
amount of spurious Mexican Dollars are in cir
culation in the northern part of the State. They
are well executed, and well calculated to de
ceive any but good judges. Out of $16 offered
at a store in Ogdensburg a few days since, 14
were base.
Santa Anna's Banishment, it appears, is not
merely for ten years, but perpetual ; his officers
for ten years. They receive a pension equal
to one half the pay they received under Santa
Anna.
A man by the name of James Garish, or Ga
net, was on Friday last convicted, in the New
York Court of Sessions, of perjury, in falsely
swearing in his vote in the 6th ward, at the late
election. He stated in his examination that he
lived in Greene county, and that he was paid
three dollars and all his expenses to come down
and vote at the election. He has been sent to
the State Prison for 2 years. Pateraon Intel.
Good!
Virginia has for thirty years groaned and
dwindled and dwarfed under tbe away of a set
of ' Democratic1 politicians of the free trade and
non-imprisonment school, until that State has
become, what with her real decline in dignity,
and her still more decisive decline in political
weight and relative social position, pietty nigh
the most contemptible state in the Union. So
writes the Richmond Whig. As no one indi
vidual among her sons, has contributed so much
to the degradation and oppression of this truly
noble commonwealth, as Father Ritchie, so it
should be a matter of profound gratitude he has
been induced to change the scene of his labors,
where they will be compaiatively harmless.

Boxing: up a Negro.
A gentleman at Louisville, walking among
bales and boxes at the steamboat wharf, heard
a voice exclaim from one of the cases, " open
the door." The owner of the boat, Mr. Shaw,
ripped open the top with a butcher's cleaver,
when out jumped a strapping negro fellow near
ly dead with suffocation and steaming like the
escape pipe of a steamboat. He was greatly
exhausted, but was revived by the fresh air and
the application of stimulants, when he gave the
following account of his singular incarceration :
" It appears that he belongs to Mr. Job Lew
is of Germantown, and has been hired in town.
He states that the scheme which had well nigh
cost him his life, was concocted some months
ago by John Bennett, a free black. The inten
tion was to ship him in the manner attempted,
to Cincinnati, from whence ho was to be con
veyed by the Abolitionists to Canada. In the
box was a quantity of moss, a number of plates,
and a few dozen water crackers. Air holes
were bored in the end of the box. They for
got, however, to put in a supply of water. He
states that he would inevitably have died in a
very short while, if he had not been extricated,
and his condition when taken out. of the box
confirms the opinion."
Correspondence of the United States Gazette.
A Trip to New England.
Business calling me to Providence, R. I., I
took the train of cars, and in two hours was in
that city: fare, $1,25; distance, about 40 miles.
This is just one half the fare from Baltimore to
Washington, about tbe same distance perhaps
a little less. Along the line of this road, as
indeed upon all others which I travelled in New
England, we could observe "mills" or factories
upon either side, some large and some small, at
intervals of a very few miles, and wherever wa
ter power was to be obtained, giving indication
of that industry which is the source of wealth
and prosperity that wealth and prosperity
which are so great a mystery to the people of
the South. Nor are these "mill's" (such is
the designation of the factories in New Eng
land) located only on the great thoroughfares ;
go where you may, wherever a water power
sufficient to carry a mill is found, and the
country abouuds with them you will find a
mill or mills in full operation, more or less ex
tensive according to the power. Sometimes
these are surrounded by dwellings which form
a village or town; at other limes they are found
standing almost "solitary and alone," suggest
ing the quere, where do those who labor in them
live or board? If the question is asked, you
will probably be told, that the operatives in the
mill are the sons and daughters of the farmers
in the neighborhood, and that they board with
their parents. " Our daughters," said a friend
who resides in Rhode Island, and who is one
of the wealthiest men in the State, ' are not
ashamed to work, even in factories." He
spoke of the country, not of the cities. "The
source of our wealth is industry. There i3 no
mystery in our prosperity ; we all labor, men,
women, and children ; we have no drunkards
nor idlers among us; they can't live among us,
for they have no one to associate with them,
and are looked upon with contempt, and as bad
company."
But, said I, what lime have young women
who thus work, for visiting each other and enjoy
ing themselves?" "They do not visit each other
was the reply. Thero is no such thing known
among us, in the country, as visiting. We drop
inio each other's houses sometimes, casually,
and are glad to see each other; but as for. dres
sing up and going to see each other, to spend
the day or the evening, or in other words, to
make a visit, no such thing is known among us.
Indeed we have no time to do this, and if we
had, those whom we might be disposed to visit
are too busy to receive and entertain us. The
rule is here for every one to mind their own
business if they have any, and if they have
none, to find something to do as soon as possi
ble, for we look upon an idle person as the
's journeyman." Accustomed as 1 have
been for many years past to a differently con
stituted community this account of the manners
and customs of one portion, and perhaps the
most thrifty portion of the people of our coun
try, interested as much as it surprised me: but
it revealed to me the true secret of that pros
perity which is so conspicuous in the eastern
States.
At Providence, I availed myself of an oppor
tunity to visit, among other factories, the exten
sive works of the New England wood screw
manufactory, which is a curiosity worhly the no
lice of all who visit that city. The works are
very extensive and the machinery the most per
fect that can be found for the manufacture of
this article. Some idea may be formed of the
extent of the works from the fact that they turn
out six hundred tons of screws per annum!
Even with this product they are unable to sup
ply the market, and have orders months in ad
vance of their ability to supply them.
Upon entering the principal room of this
manufactory a vory large one I beheld a
hundred and fifty machines in operation, and
producing a deafening clatter, attended by, pro
bably, a hundred and thirty young women, girls
and boys, from twenty years of ago down to
nine or ten; most of them tending one machine,
but some having charge of two. I could not
refrain from remarking to the gentleman who
accompanied me, that this room presented one
of the most striking exemplifications I had ever
witnessed, of the difference between the north
and the south. Here were from a hundred and
twenty to a hundred and thirty persons, who, at
the south, would lie doing nothing, and perhaps
worse than nothing, ihai were each, here, by
the aid of machinery, the invention of a "Yan
kee," performing the manual labor of at least
twenty-five or thirty men. Suppose there were
one hundred, each of whom, by the aid of ma
chinery, performed the manual labor of twenty
men; the result would be a product equal to the
labor of 2000 men; from those who, in other
parts of the countr)are allowed to spend their
time in idleness and mischief. Let those who
wonder why it is that the " Yankies" are so
thrifty, and prosperous,-why they accumulate
wealth, living as they do upon a cold, unpro
ductive, rock bound soil, while the south, with
their rich bottom lands and their genial climate,
are so far in their rear, cease to wonder. The
reason is as plain as the noonday sun, and no
man can go into the New England factories
without perceiving it. As I have before re
marked, the capitalists of New England, in
stead of dabbling in stocks and playing the
game of " Bull and-Bear," invest- their money
with a view to the employment of labor, the on
ly source of wealth. Their capital seeks labor
and puts it into active operation, and the con
sequence is that wealth is created, idleness and
its ten thousand concomitant evils are, in a
great degree, banished from the community. I
did not see an idle man in Proiidence, nor, to
the best of my recollection, in New England ;
nor was I able to discover, though I took pains
to do so, any appearance- of squalid poverty, or
even of discomfort. The poorest tenements ap
peared to have an air of comfort and neatness
about them which indicated that the wish of
Henry IV. of France was realized; namely, that
every poor man should have a chicken in his
pot at least once a week. It may be inferred
from the fact of so many young people being
engaged in the factories in Providence, that few
juvenile idlers were to be seen in the streets :
I saw none, and therefore heard none of the bias
phemous language which so frequently greets
the ear in our city from half grown boys and
those of lesser growth.
Providence, like most other New England
cities, seems to be increasing, though not with
the same rapidity of some others. Some por
tions of the city are extremely beautiful, espe
cially on College Hill, where many of ihe hou
ses may be denominated mansions, and to many
of them are attached extensive grounds which
are tastefully ornamented and contain abund
ance of trees, fruit and shrubbery. They indi
cate great wealth in their possessors. Some
of them appear to be somewhat antique.
Time was when the young men of New Eng
land, unable to find scope for the exercises of
their enterprise at home, sought more genial
fields at the South and West, and emigration
was in consequence rapid and injurious. No
such cause or inducement now exists for the
young and enterprising to leave their native
land; on the contrary I know of no section of
the Union, not even the rapidly increasing West,
that offers a more tempting field for enterprise
than the eastern slates. No one need be idle
there, no one is idle. He who has a knowl
edge of business, need not be out of employ
ment a day, capital will seek him, and in a few
years he himself will become a capitalist and
employer. So long as capital seeks labor, or,
in other words, so long as the capitalist acts
upon the wise principle of so investing his mo
ey as to create wealth by encouraging industry
and enterprise in the various branches of man
ufacture, no one need be idle, no one with or
dinary prudence can want for the necessaries
and even many of the luxuries of life. It is
only when capital is hoarded, or is so invested
that the laboring man derives little or no bene
fit from it, that accumulated wealth is felt to be
a curse to the community, instead of a blessing.

Learning Oxen to Pull together.
Oxen sometimes contract a bad habit of pul
ling or hauling against each other; and some
times crowd each other so as to render them
almost entirely useless as laborers. It is said
that by turning them out to feed in the yoke,
they will learn to move in concert, and thus bo
broken of the habits of pulling and crowding.
If a yoke of oxen were fastened to a heavy
loaded sledge or drag, placed in a pasture, and
the oxen secured in such a manner that they
could not cast or injure themselves, and ihe
load were so heavy that they must act in con
cert to move it, they would soon learn to pull
together, and be true to the yoke. Having ea
ten the grass within reach of their first location,
they would of necessity unite their efforts to re
move iheir load to a fresh spot, and would adopt
for their motto United, we feed; divided, we
starve. Complete Farmer.

Infraction among the Mormon
The Warsaw Signal has a rumor that n.n
Smith is making trouble for the Twelve in Nau
too, and will either compel them quietly tosUr.
render their power and submit to him, or t3e
he will throw himself in open rebellion. jn
consequence of the sickness and death of h;,
wife, Smith has been comparatively quiet since
his arrival in the city; but there have been mi
ny points in which he has disagreed with ihe
heads of the church, which has led to coldness
if not hostility. When Smith was on his way
to the city, he openly declared that the Twelve
should-reinstate Elder Branuau, the editor of
ibe New York Prophet, who had been recently
disfellowshipped, and said that if ihey were
not willing, he would compel them. By ihe
last Neighbor, we perceive that he has succeed
ed, for Brigham Young has issued a circular an
nouncing the fact that Brannan is restored: but
it is done with evident reluctance. Ii U no,,
sipped about that Smith will, in a decent nine
marry Emma, widow of his brother, the Prophet.
She is known to be hostile to the Twelve, ami
will lend her influence for their overthrow. Jf
this union is effected, we shall look for a com
plete revolution in the Holy City during ihs
course of the summer. We do not know tint
such a change would at all alleviate the condi
tion of the old settlers, but Bill Smith has some
virtues which will render bim less objectiona
ble than the present rulers. He is generous,
liberal and candid.
Push onBe not Discouraged,
It has been well said that young men hare
much to try them in their efforts to advance
themselves in life. Probably nothing is more
trying to an honest, conscientious youn man,
than to be in debt without the means of piying.
He started in business it may be, with fair pros
pects, but, by some untoward circumstance,
failed in his projects and became involved.
There are many such men, who would gladly
become square with the world, if it were in
their power but with little business, and fam
ilies on their hands, it is next to impossible fur
the present. With a little assistance from oth
ers, and by practising the strictest economy,
they will eventually cancel every debt. W'o
would, therefore, say to those involved, be not
discouraged. It is hard to be thus situated, we
know ; but if you continue your efforts, and are
determined to be just and honest, you will, ere
long, be able to do business in your own names.
Who cannot point to many individuals who
have failed in business in years past, and given
up all their property, who are now in a fair
way to become independent ? A judicious en
temporary says : Never mourn over a mishap
It is only by hard knocks that you will learn
how to trade and succeed. We would not give
a fig for the man who never saw misfortune
whose sky has always been unclouded; ha
knows not how to appreciate the blessings of
life, or feel for the unfortunate. Give us th
men who have failed and succeeded who have
been flat on their backs, and struggled on and
up, till they have made themselves indepen
dent. These are the characters for us.
