The Concert.
Tho concert given by Brooks'" school, on
Tuesday evening, we are happy to state, was
well attended, and as far as we have been able
to ascertain, gave general satisfaction. Music
has been cultivated by hefcw in Sirou&sburg,
while the majority have been only listeners and
admirers. This state of things should not ex
ist, and we are fully aware that had as many
more availed themselves of the last quarter's
schooling, we should have had just so many
more good singers. The Choir was in excel
lent voice, and rarely, if ever, has been wit
nessed in Strondsburg, so brilliant a display of
beauty and talent, as on this occasion. The
ladies (God bless them) acquitted themselves
with great credit, and exhibited courage which
would have done honor to Gen. Taylor. They
were alone on their parts, excepting the assis
tance of two soprano singers from Mi. Bethel,
beautiful girls, and splendid singers.) The
Bass was wanting in strength, but they sang in
fine tune, and produced a fine effect in the solo
passages of " Hoty is the Lord." Their pro
nunciation was perfect. Good pronunciation
in singing, is a matter of importance with us.
We cannot do without a distinct enunciation of
the words in vocal music. The Moteit was not
all that we were led to expect, from the manner
the other pieces were performed. The Alto
had become weary, and sang without that pon
taneity which is the life of song. " The earth
is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." was per
formed with skill, and showed taste as well as
alent. The style of the words was strictly
adhered to; at times the voices would die awy
to a low, plaintive murmur, and anon break
forth in a deafening chorus. The answer lo
the question asked by the Bass and Tenor,
" Who is this King of Glory ?" was sublime,
and not a single listener could avoid responding
with the Choir, " The Lord of Hosts."
On the whole, this was a grand display of
musical talent ; such an one as never was known
in Stroudsburg before ; such an one as does
credit to north-eastern Pennsylvania. As for
Brooks," we have only to say, that to praise
his school is to praise him as a teacher. He is
too well known in this State to need " puffing."
As a teacher of music, he is past criticism.
May he live long, and teach thousands to aing
of the praise of the Redeemer, and at last
learn to join the chorus himself. We have al
ways believed that sacred music was a refiner
of the hearts and feelings of men, and that to
be a.inger was but to be good, and we must
adhere to this opinion still, (single circumstan
ces to the contrary ) Musical men if a; have
the outward appearance of uncommon depravi
ty ; Mill we cannot believe that thir heais are
entirely shut to the prompiings of a better na
ture. There is too much of heaven in music
. admit of it ; and all who are !o happy as to
each those blissful courts on high, will be
eted on their entrance with a gush of glo
rious heavenly music.
The Odd Fellows.
Wednesday of last week was appointed as a
gala day with the Odd Fellows, it being the an
niversary of Fori Penn Lodge, No. 134. Long
before the appointed hour had arrived, the
streets of Stroudsburg presented an uncommon
lively appearance, citizens and strangers li
ning the aide-walks, all evidently worked up to
the highest pitch of expectation. At 2 o'clock,
the procession formed in front of the Court
Hotise, and marched through the principal
streets of the Borough, to the stirring music of
the Mi. Bethel Brass Band. The members of
the Order were dressed in full regalia, and pre
sented at once a novel and imposing appear
ance. The day was flue, and nothing trans
pired to mar the splendor of the scene. The
procession repaired to the Methodist Church,
and likened to one of the most enlightened, and
interesting, discourses on Odd-Fellowship, by
R. E. Wright, E-sq., of ANentown. Taken as
a whole, the address was a masterly effort, and
reflects credit alike upon the speaker and the
Order. We trust that all will avail themselves
of tfie opportunity of reading it. It is admira
bly calculated to do away with superstition, and
all who peruse it with care-and attention can
not but feel favorably inclined towards the doc
trine it inculcates. 'Tis the doctrine of the
Bihle 'tis a spark of heaven left to germinate
among the memhers of fallen humanity, and al
though it is in an embryo .state, it is destined to
fill the whole earth, and make glad the hearts
of millions vet unborn.

has been elected Siaic Ticasurer. The vole

The high character of Judge Banks for abil

to this important station, will be received by
the people of Pennsylvania with a unanimous
approval. io better man ot culler party can
be found within the length or breadth of this
Commonwealth.
Robert M. T. Hunter was chosen U. S.
Senator for six years from the 4th of March
next, by the Legislature of Virginia, on the 15ih
inst. He succeeds Mr. Archer, the present
able Whis member. The result, as we learn
from the Richmond Whig, was effected by the
co-operation of most of ihe Whigs with a few
of the Loco-Foco members. Mr. Hunter was
chosen on the sixth ballot.
Board of Canal Commissioners.
James M. Power, Esq., was duly sworn in,
on the 12th inst., as Canal Commissioner, and
the board organized by the election of Joshua
Hartshorn as President, and Thomas L.
Wilson, formerly Clerk, and an Anti-Shunk !
man, as Secretary to the Board.
Whig State Convention.
The Harrisburg Telegraph contains a list of
Delegates to the Whig State Convention to as
semble in Harrisburg in March next, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for Governor
and Canal Commissioner, from which it appears
thai of the delegaics already appointed there are
32 utiinstrucied. "
22 instructed to support Gen. James Irwin.
15 recommended to support the Hon. James
Cooper.
10 recommended to support Gen. Irwin.
3 instructed to support P. S. Michler, Esq.
3 instructed to support Waller Forward, Esq.
47 delegates are yet to be appointed.
Since our last issue we have nothing from
Congress of any importance, except the death
blow given to the Lieutenant-General, in the
Senate, and the debates upon various subjects
in the two houses, not of sufficient interest to
occupy our paper. On Saturday, however,
when the Oregon Territorial Bill was taken up,
Mr. Hamlin, of Maine, addresed the House in
defence of the constitutional right of Congress
to prohibit slarery in new territories. The
sentiment of the North, he said, was opposed
to any further extension of the area of slavery.
No solitary interest of any State would be af
fedted by a prohibition of its introduction into
new territories. This was no Missouri com
promise, no annexation of Texas question, and
the free States would never consent to the in
troduction of slavery into free territory, ac
quired or to be acquired.
Mr. Bowdon of Alabama, spoke in opposi
tion to these views, and iMr. Thompson of
Pennsylvania in their favor, after which ihe
previous question was callep, the yeas and
nays taken, and the btll passed 133 to 35.
The bill as it passed we believe prohibits for
ever the introduction of Slavery into the terri
tory, and the Sou'hern members resist this as
a precedent for other territory.
Buck's County Intelligencer.
Pass round their ftiunes.
Mr. FICKL1N, of III., and Mr. THOMP
SON, of Mi ssissippi, a pair of servile Locofo
cos, made a disgraceful assault in the House,
on the 8ih insi., upon Gen. Taylor's conduct, in
not preventing the Mexican forces from cross
ing the Rio Grande after their defeat in the bat
tie of Resaca de la Palma. The Administra
tion had been charged with neglect in not fur
nishing him with pontons, to cross the river ;
why, they asked, did he not cut off the Mexi
cans before they reached the river? Mr. Jos.
R. Ingeusoll replied with patriotic indigna
tion, that Gen. Taylors forces had been 30 hours
without food, and numbering only 2,000 lo the
7000 Mexicans! And yet Gen. Taylor is to be
denounced by menials of the White House, for
not accomplishing impossibilities. Pass round
their names! Let them be remembered.
The Lehigh Reporter, in noticing the dis
graceful attempt of the Locofoco press to create
the impression lhat their own partizans chiefly
compose the volunteer companies fighting the
battles of their country in Mexico, states that
of the ninety-four men composing Captain Na
gle's company, only seven are LocoTocos.
Senator Pennybacker, of Virginia, died at
Washington, on Tuesday morning of last week.
His death was announced in both houses, and
they immediately adjournod. On Wednesday
they attended his funeral.
Mr. Newton, Whig, is said to be elected to
Congress to fill the vacancy in tho Arkansas
delegation, caused by the resignation of Col.
Yell, Loco.
We learn that the two-horse stage between
Easton and Philadelphia, known as the "Light
ning line," has been drawn off for the present.
The New Orleans papers mention the death
of Patrick O'Donnell, a Pennsylvania volun
teer, from Carbondale, Luzerne county.
It is recommended in New York, to lax ev
ery pauper arriving in that city, one dollar,
which would bring an annual income of one
hundred thousand dollars.
Mr Semple, the Senator from Illinois, is, it
is to be appointed Governor of Oteon.
The " Devil." The word devil, said a cer
tain parson, is mean, any way you can take it.
Remove the d, and it is evil ; remove the r, and
it is vile ; remove the v, and it is il, and. the 1
alone has the sound of hell. Beware, then of
the devil he is a mean rascal.

On the commencement of the ensuing session
of the Legislature, the Pennsylvania "Intelligencer
will be published Daily during the session, and
Weekly the remainder of the year on the follow
ing terms :
For the session Daily, $2 00
For the vear Daily and Weekly, 3 00
ID3 Payments in all cases to be made in advance.
The Daily will be published on a medium sheet,
the size of the dailies heretofore issued at the seat
of Government- We have made arrangements for
the employment of competent and experienced re
porters, and will give lull, accurate and impartial
reports of the proceedings of the Legislature.
Ample sketches of the doings of Congress, ac
counts of tho progress of the war, the news of the
day, and a general variety of political and miscel
laneous matter, will also be 'given.
We will so arrange as to issue every evening, a
few hours after the adjournment, so that the pro
ceedings of each day will be contained in the pa
per of the same evening, and will be delivered
through the first mails that leave after the adjourn
ment
Ml
fhe Weekly will retain its present size and
form., and will contain as great an amount and va
riety of reading matter as any other paper publish
ed at Harrisburg.
Apart from the consideration of any political
measures that may be brought before the Legisla
ture the ensuing session, tUe fact that there is a
Whig majority in both branches, comprising some
of the ablest men of the party, will tend to render
the session one of peculiar public interest, not on
ly to Whigs, but to inen of all parties who have
the good of the State at heart. An early, full and
faithful report of the proceedings, cannot fail there
fore, to be desir?i"ble to the mass of readers. The
proceedings of Congress will also be of absorbing
interest during the present session, of which we
will give a daily report, as full as our limits will
possibly permit.
Of the political course of our paper we deem it
unnecessary to speak. We refer to our past ca
reer ns a pledge of our fidelity to the Whig cause,
which we shall continue to advocate with our best
y bility. Prominent amongst the great principles
of the Whig party, is the cherished Pennsylvania
doctrine of protection to American labor, which
shall ever find in the Intelligencer, so long as we
have the honor to control its columns, a sincere
and ardent advocate. We appeal therefore, espe
cially, to Whigs and Tariff men to aid us in our
enterprize, confident that if a generous support is
extended to us, we shall be able to publish such a
paper as will be of service to the cause, and will
give universal satisfaction.
