Day of Fasting and Prayer.
BY VIE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
A RECOMMENDATION.
At a season when the PROVIDENCE of Goo
has manifested Wren in the visitation of a
fearful pestilence, which is spreading its rav
ages throughout the land, it is fining' that a
people, whose reliance has ever been on His
• JPIIOTECTION, should humble themselves be
ore His THRONE; and, vhile acknowledging
past transgressions, ask a continuance of
DIVINE MERCY.
It lei - , therefore, rs earnestly 'recommended
that the first FridaY in 'August be observed
'throughout the United States as a day of
iFasting, littnuluitian and Prayer. All busi.
noes will be susprlndell in the various branch
es of the_pjLbLic service on that day ; and it
is•recommeqed to persons of all religious
denominati* to abstain, as far as practica
' ble, from secular occupations, and to. assent
ble in their tespeotive places of Publio Wor
ship; to acknowledge the INFINITE GOODNESS
which has sb long watched over our oxis
fence as a nation, and so long crowned us
with manifold blessings; and to implore the
ALMIGHTY, in His own good time, to stay
the destroying hand which is now lilted up
against us. Z. TAYLOR.

ty which in former years has paid•her quota
of State Tax so promptly, has not come up
to the mark this year. What is the matter?
Bradford and Adams counties we see have
had a hard race-for priority in making their
payments. Last year Adams county took
the lead, followed. by Bradford or.ly a few
hours per.. On Thursday last both counties
deposited their quota for the yejir, being the
first oounties that have paid, but this year
Bradford was just two hours in advance of
Adams.

Ea
ASHLAND, June 21, 1949.
Gentlemen :-1 have the honor to ay,-
knowledge the receipt of your official nate,
inviting my attendance at Philadelphia, to
unite with the Whig citizens of Philadelphia
in celebrating in'an appropriate and patriotic
manner, the approaching anniversary of A
merican Independence. Concurring entire
ly with you in the importance to the welfare
and prosperity of the union, of maintaining
Whig principles by all fair and honorable
means, I should be most happy, both for the
pleakure of meeting my fellow citizens, and
of asalsting-" the" cclmmetnoration of the
great epoch t o r National birth ; , to De able
to accept y r kind invitation ; but :ny dis
tant residence deprives me of that satisfac
tion. 1 tender my best wishes that the pro
posed celebration may ,be signalized by
order, by good cheer, and by a spirit .of
amity and fraternity: and that. it .may add
fresh strength ana vig or to the principles in
tended to be promoted. -
I ini r with great respect,
Your friend and obedient servant,
I-1: CLAY.
A Washington correspondent ol the Balti
more Clipper, says that Mr. Thomas Feran,
formerly a looofoco editor'at Lancaster, Ph..
his been promoted to a $l7OO clerkship over
the heeds of several Whigs, and we finil in
the Daily News the proceedings of 'a Whig
meeting denounting Mr. Lewis, Collector
of the Port at . Philadelphia, for appointing
Dennis Mealy, paid to be a well•known bon
bon, to one of the Inspectorships in the
Custom House !.
It is not much wonder that such appoint
ments excite surprise and indignation among
Whigs. They enter like an iron into the
hearts of Whigs, and we know of no grolind
uppn which they can bet irtStified. Applica
tions for office are doubtless great ar.noyan
des to Heads of Departments, but they must
recollect that office hunting is equally disa
gieoabfe and humiliating to , the applicants
themselves— with the giCat majority of
whom, to do them' justice, their "pdveety
and not their will consents" to their being
office hunters. The course of Mr. LeWis in
the distribution of his patronage, seems to
be a strange ernp,ma. We know of some
Whigs who have sought place under him,
backed by the highest and strongest influ
enerNhat could possibly be secured, and
who for the last six or eight - weeks have
been waiting until their hearts have *lied
within them, for even the faintest giving-out
of his sovereign intentions with respect to
-their claims., Their feelings may be con
ceived, when the long silence is broken by
the announcement of such an appointment
es Dennis Mealy! Can it be wondered that'
old and true Whigs should lee) the out•gush
of their political enthusiasm rolledbaok with'
an iey clidl upon their hearts, when they
find themselves thus rudely thrust back, and
their bitterest opponents preferred to them?
We speak of these thing's with no factious
disposition. IVe know how impossible it is
-to make appointments satisfactory to all. [tut
the appointment of notorious locolecos when
there are scores of meritorious TVlngs eek
ing the same places, we do not hesitate to
characterize as an outrage, which must ex
cite the indignant denunciations of Whigs
every where, and inevitably cause party
distraction and 'disSensionsr. tlr. Lewis
owes it to .the Whig party to revoke the
odious appointment: (
FROM EUROPE !--By the 'arrival of the
Niagara, on Friday last, we learn that the
subjugation of Rome is not yet accomplished.
After a severe bombardment, the squadrons
of the French army succeeded in establishing
themselves within the outer walls of Rome,
early on the 22d la The latest intelligence
states that General Oudinot had so lar sue.
ceeded in his operations upon the outworks
that the city was entirely at his mercy, to
spare which,*and the horrors of a irightlul
carnage, he has submitted fresh terms to the
Triumvirate, through M. Carcelles, which it
is thought would be • accepted by the Re.
mans.
It appears from "letters in the German and
Austrian journals, that engagements have
recently taken place between the Austrians
anh Hungarians at Icavoorrayred, and the .
points of the Waag. Whilst .same ascribe
the victory to the Austrians, others give it
to.the Hungarians.
A SKUNK !—A fellow named Alontgomer
who has been removed from the P. 0. De
partment at Washington ; shows his skunk
like character by discharging a torrent'' if
filthy abuse at the President, Mr. Collamer
and others of the Cabinet, through the col
ursine of life Washington Union.- .This fel
low/a conduct - shows the necessityof purging
the government offices of the corrupt place
holders who have been so long in office that
they claim places as life-estates. It is a

Startling Facts-Ar
LOCOFOCO PRODIOALITY COW' STATE .
WORK8:7110 L oo ofo o o press over the'Stree 4
taking its ene frorn thft Keystone Of Hairisbnif i
is filled ; with abuse of Mr.-Ball, the State
Treasurer, charging him with' withholding
the appropriations made for the Payment of
the laborere on the public works. _
'The editor of the Harrisburg 7elegraph, bed'
!Hiving these 'attacks to be without ground or
.reason, addressed a note to Mr. Ball, request
ing him to furnish a statement of the amount
of money drawn from the Treasui by: the
Supervisors on.the public works, for the pur
pose mentioned. In reply, kr. tall 'states
that the total amount so drawn since the ad
journment of the Legislature, is 5306,434 92.
Here, says the TelegrePli, is a lamentable
picture of Locofoco prodigality_ and abuse.
In the short sp'ace of cighty•three days the Lo
cofoco officers on the publio works' have
drawn from the Slate Treasury the astound
ing sum-of more than THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS—or THREE THOU
SAND. SIX HUNDRED AND EIGHTY
Do'LLArts, PER DAY—while ;at the same
time thiLocoloco.press, is filled with abuse
of the State Treasurer because he will not.
furnish the officers with money to pay the
laborers on the
,public works!!
This fact discloses a scheme of villainy
unriarallelled, we believe, in the history of
Loci:lloam in this State. The sum of $300,-
000, formerly was all that A's annually ap
propriated for. the ordinary repairs of: the
State canal and railroads. This sum was for
a whole year.
LOCOFOCO ABUSES EXposED.—A new
ly appointed Postmaster in an important
town in Indiana; writes to a friend at Wash
ington as . follows : • • '
. -
"When I came into office . I found not less
than-500 documents, sent by our late M. C.,
all laid carelully aside. Some 100 copies of
the lite of Gen. Taylor laid away, and nu
merous other documents—at 'least two can- .
vass bags full. and strange to say, not five of
them were democtati9 documents; all Whig,
'rind franked by This, and other mat
ters which I found in the ffice, convinced
me that all -the villainy which man could
conceive was systematically carried on by
the office holders.'
,
As a striking commentary on the above,
the Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Express says that of the 10;000 Postmitsters
in the Union, not one sixth part have as yet
been chahged, including resignations and all.
His OWN VERSION.—COSSIOS M. Clay
has caused a long siaternent to be published
in the Maysville Eagle, giving-the particu
lars of t,he deadly encounter between him- .
sell and Mr. Turner, at the Foxtown meet
ing. It would appear from this that he was
on more than one occasion subjected to gross
insult, and that an organized opposition had
been made with the view of putting an
end to his speeches in favor of emancipa
tion, by means of defamation, or even per
sonal assault. Mr. Clay asserts that he was
beten violently by several persons, both
from before and behind, and it was not un
til alter he believed himself mortally woun
ded that he struck Mr. Turner with his
knife. The next to the last pitiagpiph closes
with the following singular assertion :-
4 . Wtulsti regret his &rub; 'hoe sport me rests
the responsibility of its necestrity.” -
At last accounts Mr. Clay was laying in a
critical state, and his final .recovery cannot
take pled° for a considerable period.
NULLIFICATION FnvEre !—While the people
of other States were egenerally rejoicing In
the Union, on t!te 4th instant, oui unhappy
Mends in South Caroling were drinking con
hision to'it. Instead of listening to the De•
claration of Independence, they read; at
Oringeb.urg, the famous "address of the
Southern members of Congress," and their
orators declaimed upon !tetanal wrongs.—
Among a series of toasts, were some deo',
ring that " the Conititution has been rend -
ed to the South an instrument of oppres:' , n
and a curse;" that . "the Union, as no • cor.
rupted, is not worth pieserving ; ' that the
Southern address is the first step towards a
second " Decliration of Independence;' and
as to the separation of the Union, "• the sooner
the better for the South." Get out t•
'
J. --The Volunteer's allegation relation
to the Whig celebration on the 4th is as con
temptible as it is, malicious. If necessary
the udocumerus" could be readily shown to
prove that'ilie Whigs owe iro man any thing
on account of their celebration. And if any
individual• went among the !'democrats' . '. ask;
ing contributions he•did it uithout authority.—
The transaction is therefore entirely between
him and those who were green enough to
subscribe, or who probably only did sub
scribe a petty sum that they might have
ground for a very stupid piece of .raillery.
A. GOOD ONE.—The Harrisburg 1 ntel

a company of gentlemen at one of our hotels
a few data ago, When q'Loco present, in'thcr,

from this Opirdon, end remarked that 'no

2 Englidt ly—S. A. Gtaham, Car-
lisle. This perlormance had eviflently not
cost much labor.. The ears of the audience
were tickled with a few- witicisms, some
good, some bad, and, others indifferent. It
was, however, written in a fresh and lively
style, and had the delivery been attended
with less hesitancy it might have been pro
nounced successful. His task, it must be
confessed was a difficult one, and we are
far from - judging of Mr. Graliata's ability
' from this effort:' It id hard to pick hp gems
on a frequently gavelled road.
4. Oration. Old Age—M. D., ion way, Va.
We thought Mr. Conway unfouunate in the
choice of his subject. .ApOretilly very
young himself, his performari.he4ailed to
make the impression of certainty , . rfrieli re
sults from experience. It was only a guess,
tolerably shrewd - , `and clothed in MA: I - garb of
fancy, at what the feelings, joys and scittetvs
of old age.might be. It was prettily written.
The delivery was mai red by an over-strain
ed energy.
. 5. Literary Oration. The Angel of Assassi
iiatinn—H. G. Chaney, Md. This was a
fanciful and rather ovretr wrought picture of
Cass. murder of Marat by the infatuated Char
lotte Corday. It portrayed crime in too
glowing colors—the bane of much of our
popular literature. Its liteiary merit was
.not above mediocrity; but we believe the
Literary and l'hasophicat orations only de
signate the grade of the student and are not
expected to be characteristic.
rt. Oration. The Duel between
the Age in which he lives—H. G. Smith, bid.
A manly. and• mature performance notwith
standind the youth of the-performer.''lt
showed that Mr. S. does not eschew -thirla7--
bor of thinking sometimes. Like Mr. Con
way he is chargeable with a forced energy
-fin his delivery.
0. Oration. The Collegiate Pilgrim—J. IV.
Medairy, Md. A vivid, well-written por
trait of the struggles, and. a complaint, not
very chivalric in its spirit, of the rewards. of,
Literar3r,Genius. We thought Mr. M.. mist
taken in many of -his conceptions. He
seemed to think geniuncolifined entirely to
the sphere of literature; and drew invidious
comparisons bet Ween the martyrs in thistle
partmenif and Napoleon and other kindred
spirits who have awed or dazzled the world.
In this we think liirn mistaken; if genius be
not a mere fitful, pyrotechnic inspiration.
Genius is intellectual emotive power; and
the man of original !night in the world of
mind the man of genius. And where lay
NarAbleon's power! Sorely in the Titan
like proportions of his mind.
And in his estimation - 61 the rewards Of
genius Mr. M. seemed to forget that it is fie,
quently allied to the most lamantable infir
rnities of our nature. If its own age is too
prone to neglect, s4Fneiling ages aie.too apt
to deify, genius.
Howqvcr, we listened to this performance
with great pleasure; to which an eatnest
thoughtful manner, and the manifest appear
ance of ability, contributed much. The
illustrations were felicitous; paiticularly that
of :the wondrous German, lleyne. ,
10. Literary Oration. The Glory of Virtue.
G. D. B. Kelm, Reading. A sensiblermeri
torious performance; but without any stri
king peculiarities..
11. Oration. The Good Man . the only
-Great Man—T. T. Hutchins, Md. This
proposition is indefinite. If it mean that the
. want of goodness is an insuperable barrier
to greainges; Mr. H. made some approxima.
lion toward establishing it. If it. mean that
goodness is the only requisite ;element of
greatness, which seemed to .be his idea,
the whole speech was pointless and irrele
vant. -On-either supposition there was much
that eras irrelevant and declamatory in this
performance.
11. Literary Oration. Human Illottvea.—C.
B. It. Kennedy, Va. This performance we
would place with Mr. Koun s in the "great

audience; and was listened• to with marked

14. Oration. Selltatight Illen.=—M. J. Par
ion, Ohio. This speech was above mediee•
rity in
.point of merit. It was sensible,
..well-Written, and not destitete of tho staple
of thoughty,;but it was badly. committed. In
