INFIDELITY UNMASKED!
From the Baltimore Patriot, of May 28.
To:the Corporate Authorities &
the Citizens of New-York.
An occurrence which took place during
- my late visit to your "city of cit les," requires
• some public notice. On the evening of Son.
dog last, whilst walking Broadway; in corn
*' to with my friend; Gen. GEO. W. WIL•
LrAtmoN, of this city, I expressed a curios,-
ty to see . "Tammany Hall," which I had
25v- beard spoken of as your great arena for pub
' lie discussion. We accordingly proceeded
thither, and on entering the fin 11, discovered
to our surprise, a large audience assembled,
•• . . listening apparently with wrapt attention, to
,
sspeaker-who was addressing them from a
pulpit at one extremity of the Hall. The
door keeper required of us six.pence each, as
t e_ price of admission, which we paid, and
took 'our seats on one of the back benches.
rsi';'•••• Oa looking round, I discovered, that of the
e s . audience. which nearly filled the large Hall,
• '...,, 4•l' about one halfconsisted of respectably dress
ed females, of all ages, from the young girl
just 'blooming into .womanhood, to the aged
matron. Immediately on the left of the pul.
- pit, on the front bench, were seated a nun).
Rs:,', bee olvenerable old men, some bald from
a:I::: 2 -: age, and others with scanty locks, which had
5' ' been whitened by the frost of many score of

In the rear of them, were a number
',,•‘ • of persons, with musical instruments in their
s - hands:- and nearly fronting the pulpit, was a
:•• gentleman in appearance, with a beautiful
... • and most interesting Boy, apparently about
''••,•: Jae years of age, in his arms, whose'youth.
, 'S 'ful glance, appeared to be directed, with fas.
r.''' . • cinated influence to the speaker in the pul
• pit. e rest of the audience were well
' , dressed persons—many of them youths from
sixteen to eighteen years of ago. after
•-
' - making this rapid survey, and directing our
....
attention to the speaker, our prepossessions
were at.once excited in his favor. He was
apparently about 25 or 3O years of age: of
handsome personal appearance--winnirs,
~.. • Is
~. . addreiais--musical voice—and exhibiting
• great pawers of elocution. He was passing
• - in review the different systems of Theology
. •
• • of the various sects and nations of the world,
, - shewing much historical research, and evi.
dancing much talent. Wo were delighted;
and congratulated each other on having gone
: . to the Hall. A revulsion of feelings howev
• - • er soon took place, when on- his making a
practical application of what he had been
reviewing, the result of all his facts and sea
- stoning, was INFIDELITY, ia its most un
disguised, naked and disgusting form—
: he finished his address, which was
evidently a prepared one, he • resigned his
. ' place in the pulpit to an elderly man, of rude
manners and most.unprepossessing exterior,
, • who read from a book several verses, which
were sung by most of the audience—princi
. pally by the females—accompanied by the
musical instruments. . 'The same person

which, for gross ribaldry, impiety, and the
most revolting profanity, was never exceed

gusting detail of all he said, but merely
• state a few of his doctrines. He boldly ridi
. ailed and denied the .E.ristence of a God:
declared with emphasis that the Holy Bi
61e was a Humbug, and that all Professors
of Religion were wily 'Hypocrites, whose
mole object was to fill their bellies with beet
and pudding. I listened With horror and
astonishment—horror that any civilized or
. human being should openly profess a belief
in such, doctrinea--astonishment that the
. promulgation of them, should be tolerated in
;'any community. I looked round at the au:
dience. The old men nodded assent even
to the most ultra of his doctrines: the re
'males, whose sensitive feelings, and lively
• imaginations, too often make them, the vie
' time ofdesigning men, listened with avidity,
and some of them even responded with a
laugh to his grossest ribaldry: a youth of
not more than 16, next to whom I sat, in
response to some of the doctrines, exclaim
ed "thiit is true:" and the beautiful LITTLE
BOY, in the arms of his father, near the front
of the pulpit, whose ductile mind and warm
infantile feelings were prepared to receive
any impression—ftir good or for bad—with
opened mouth, and eyes beaming with in
terest and intelligence, drank in the polluted
stream from that old man's lips. ,

THE GETTYSBURG STAR & REPUBLICAN, BANNER.
I was a-father. The age—the beauty : —the
intelligent look—of that little boy, spoke to
my heart in a langis.ge tt well understood.
It reminded .me of my Mae boy—my only
the gime age—the same beau'y—
the same intelligence—whom, thst Divine
Being, whose existence these men denied,
thought proper, in his providence, to tukftu
himself. Thank God! His infant mind was
never polluted by the NAME of irmucury:
and the . best consolation which I have for
his loss, is in the cartirin hope that he is en•
joying that immortality of happiness in an
other world, which these miscalled Philan
thropists would deprive us of.
As soon as the last speaker closed his ad
dress, I airvanced to the pulpit, and in the
Mildest and most courteous manner, request
ed of the two speakers permission to address
a few words to the audience, in reply to
them. I was refused. I observed to them
that it was a public meeting, for admission
into which we had paid at the door; that
they had stated that the only true guide was
REASON, and had, in both their addresses,
challenged investigation into the correctness
oftheir doctrines; that their doctrines were,
to my mind, so blasphemous, and so subver
sive of the principles or ,our government,
that I was anxious for an opportunity to re
fute them; that if their doctrines could bear
the test of reason, they ought not to refuse
investigation. The younger of the speak
ers then said, "appoint any. day this week
and we will hear you." I replied that I
wits a stranger, and that my engagements
required me to leave the city, on my return
to Baltimore, the next . morning; that their
speeches had been prepared with care, and
that my reply would be extemporaneous;
that I wished, whilst the minds of the audi
t enCe wore warm from the glowing impress
of their addresses, to erase the impression,
before it had become indurated by time. I
was again refused. I appealed then to the
old gentlemen on the front bench, on the left
of the pulpit, who stated that they were
Trustees of the Society. They also refused
me with much vehemence of manner. I
then turned round and appealed to the andi•
once. I said to them "that I was it stranger
in their city, and had been attracted by cu-
riosity to see "'Tammany Hall," a name as
sociated with Democracy, and with liberty
and freedom of speech; that I was from the
South, whose citizens, frOm misapprehen
sion of their character by many in the East,
were suppoSed to be somewhat latitudinarian
in their religious opinions; but that the doc
trines which I had heard that night, were so
blasphemous in their character, and so de
moralizing in their tendency—so subversive
of the free institutions under which we lived
—so inimical to social order, and so utterly
at variance with all my preconceived opin
ions of religious obligations, and of moral
duty, that I was constrained to enter my
protest against them; that I had appealed to
the speakers and to the Trustees for pormis.'
niuu, laid refused, and it.* I
now appealed to them, and asked "will'you
hear trier The appeal was responded to
from the audience by the often repeated
cry of "hear him." Before I could avail
myself of this permission, I was surrounded
by the Trustees, - who accused me of dis
turbing their meeting, and said I should not
speak. Up to this time, no violence had
been offered—but, whilst mildly remonstrat
ing with the speakers and Trustees about
their refusal to comply with the wishes of
the audience, a GALLANT man, one of the
FIDDLERS, Who WAS SAFELY ENTRENCHED
behind Two rows of benches, struck a blow
AT me, which, however, did Nor reach me.
This, was the signal for tumult. I was seiz
ed by the Trustees, whose age and grey
hairs protected them 'from a blow; and, not
withstanding the assistance of my friend,
Gen. Williamson, who participated in my
feelings, and manfully sustained me through
the whole afTitir, we were both precipitated
over benches and chairs,with much violence,
and soon found ourselves at the bottom of
the stairs. One of the Trustees, whose head
was bald from age, and who had been mos
prominent in the "melee," followed us to
the Street and called the watch, whom he
required to take us into custody. The
watch, after bearing his statement, refused.
We then requested, as a favor, to be taken
before the city Authorities,which he assented
to. On our arrival at the Police Office, the
Trustee preferred his complaint against us,
and insisted on our detention. I gave a
simple statement of facts, which was corrob
orated by the volunteer testimony of many
gentlemen, who had followed us from the
Hall, and whose honest indignation, which
the presence of the Presiding Alderman could
scarcely restrain, furnished the best corn
mentnry on the whole proceeding. The
complaint was promptly dismissed by the
presiding Judge, and we were politely in•
formed that we were at liberty to depart.—
To the gentlemen, before whom we were so
unexpectedly arraigned, I tender the thanks
of General Williamson and myself, for the
politeness we experienced, and the civilities
which they extended to us. After remain.
ing at the Office until the crowd had dis•
persed, we returned to the City Hotel, and,
in pursuance of our previous engagements,
left your city at 10 A. M., in the steamboat,
for Baltimore.. -
- This is a plain relation or facts. Do they
,not furnish subject for most grave and seri.
ous reflection? Do they not with startling
force appeal to you in all the various rela
tions of life? As the corporate authorities of
the city, of. Now York, you are the constitu
ted guardians of the-people's morals—the
watchmen over their civil and political lib
erties. Will you tolezate in your enligh•
tened community, the promulgation of doc
trines destructive of both. If any man was
to preach in your streets, the doctrine efir
responsibilit,y to your civil institutions, he
would be denounced for treason, and the
strong arm of the law would be. extended to
I him. Will you permit a higher treason,
which preaches man's irresporwibility to hia
God? If any one was publicly to proclaim
that female chastity was a folly, and virtue
but an idle name, would not public indigna•
tion brand him as a wretch, and the civil
authority consign him to the Penitentiary?
And will you suffer the open and public a
vowal, with a view to make proselytes, of
doctrines, which by breaking dewn all mot'•
al barriers, would make pro:dilutes of your
.wives and daughters, and felons ofyour sons?
'As parents, you are deeply interested; for
he who denies all responsibility to his God
or to his country, will hardly recognize the
responsibility of n child to his parent.
And who are these men? They can them
selves "Moral Philanthropists"."• In what
does their philanthropy consist? Is it in the
desecration of every thing, which the united
and matured wisdom of all who have pre
ceded us, has taught es to believe Holy? Is
it in attempting to subvert our free institu
tions—to break asunder every moral tie
which binds us together, and reduce us to
primitive nature? And what do they offer
you in exchange? For IMMORTALITY they
proffer YOU ANNIHILATION For the meek
and lowly Redeemer, they would substitute
the "GonoEss OF REASON," who, in thesan
guinary and beastly orgies of Robespierre,
Murat, and their Sans Culottes compatriots,
was appropriately personated by a naked
prostitute.
Citizens of New York I Descendants of
the Knickerbockers, the virtuous old Dutch
men of your State! are you willing to make
the exchange? Will the old • men, on the
verge of the grave, surrender the' hope of
immortality, which has solaced them thro'
life, and now cheers theta on their passage
to eternity? Will the youth of your city
abandon the religion of their forefathers, and
repudiate a belief, which restrains then)
from vice, and stimulates thorn to virtue?—
Will the matrons of your city become prose
lytes to doctrines which will teach them,
while straining their infants to their bosoms,
that the objects of their maternal care, a•
round whom all woman's fondest affections
and devotions centre, are mere clods of the
valley, which like the brute beast will return
`to- their original nothingness, and be lost in
the darkness of annihilation? Ask these
questions of yourselves, when you retire to
your chamber—and in the silence of night
—and with the world shut out; and let your
hearts and your conscience answer them.
It will perhaps be said that the doctrines
of these men are so revolting, and their num
bers so few, that no danger is to be appre;
hended, and that contemptuous silence is the
best answer. Delude not yourselves with
the fallacy. "Lay not this flattering enc•
tion to your souls." Their poison is an in
sidious one, which, while you slumber in
fancied security, will penetrate to the heart's
blood of all your institutions, and "all the
balm of Gilead" will be unable to effect a
cure. Arouse, lest you fall into that mortal
sleep that knows no waking." Let public
opinion awaken in all its energy, and tell
these moral incendiaries, that they shall not
be permitted to throw their firebrandr In
yntsr 4ornna4•nii-7 I^ min, In
ruin, your altars, your temples and your'
domestic hearths. Infidelity is a weed
which is not congenial to our soil. It is an
exotic. Do not transplant it into yourmor
al gardens, it will extirpate every wholesome
and beautiful plant, until it grows into a tree,
which overshadowing your noble city, will
. wither and destroy every thing within its
influence. Establish a moral quarantine a
round your city, illimitable in point of time,
and which no ingenuity can evade. Do this,
and you will deserve the thanks of your fel
low citizens. It I shall have been in the
slightest degree, instrumental in producing
the result, I shall esteem it the best act of
my life, . for the proudest epitaph whic/
could be inscribed on my tomb, would be
"Here liea one, who was instrumental
In arresting the progress of infidelity."
Your fellow•citizen,
Spirit of the Times.
Tho editor of the Pittsburg Statesman
asks, how can the Whigs support either
Wolf or Ritner? In turn, we ask him, how
can they support Henry A. Muldenbe ' re—
What feeling in common have they with
either of the Jackson candidates? Now
that the Whigs are not likely to have a can
didate of their own, in the election of Mr.
Ritner they have hopes of prostrating Van
Buren; and it is this alone that will induce
thousands of them to yield hill) their sup
port.—Beaver Argus.
The election of Farmer Ritner is now
considered as entirely certain, and from
present appearances his majority must be
very heavy. Our party are for him In one
unbroken phalanx, and the whigs will gen
erally support him, with the exception of
the adhearing Masons, who will, as hereto
fore, support the Deputy Grand Master.--
The Jackson men are probably very nearly
equally divided between Wolf and Muhlen
berg. Their united forces wore nearly beat
en two 3 ears ago. Divided, as they now
are, they will hardly, make a show of oppo
sition.--Erie Gaz.
The Pennsylvania Reporter says the nom
ination of Muhlenberg blasts the prospects
of Joseph Ritner/ What a ridiculous idea.
In the West we ,believe Muhlenberg will
not take an hundred votes from Rilner—in
this county, we venture to say, not five will
be lost in this way. The Reporter . may
crow, to keep up his own courage, and that
of his friends, hut at the - polls, the result will
show that their calculations are all fella.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer,
PROSPECT IN THE INTERIOR.
Our intelligence 'from the interior, with
regard• to the approaching gubernatorial
campaign, is of the most satisliictory char.
acter. The whips will support Miner, with
more immunity than on any former occa
sion. The eflbrts of the office-holden; to in

RIDING TIIE FENCE.—The Editor of the
Montrose Volunteer says--"In consequence
of the great division of the democratic par.
ty of this county, and of the state, upon the
question of Governor, we have placed at the
head of our columns the names of both Mr.
Muldenberg and Gov. Wolf."
That's a good idea. But what will our
contemporary do for those democratic breth
ren who go for Mr. Ritner—which side of
the fence will he put him? May be at the
top.—U. S. Gar,.
BALTIMORE NOMINATION.—Is the nomi
nation of the Vice President farcical? Is
that a humbug. Look at the candidate.--
We have no charges to make against the
man—He may be as good as some others—
better than many—but are there no feelings
of a refined society violated in the thought
of such a tenant of the chair of the Senate
—such a dispenser of the courtesies of the
nation? In the absence or death of the Pre
sident, the Vice President succeeds to his
duties—are our fellow-citizens of the Jack
son party content that the family of the Vice
Presidential candidate should occupy the
tiltiite house? We speak as an Arno=kair - -
us a sharer in public feeling—as one inter
, ested in public morals—as one believing, in
deed, that public virtue is necessary to pub
lic liberty—and we appeal to Jackson men
.in feelings and in morals no whitless fastidi
ous, are you prepared to sustain such a tick
etT—U. S. Gaz.
• UNION AND HARMONY.—The Wolfites
and Al uhlenbergers got up a public meeting
in Union county, in which the "beauties of
harmony" were exhibited in a masterly
manner. The Wolfites got possession of
the Court House and had a chairman ap
pointed by the time the other fragment got
in. The Muhlenbergers disputed with them
for a while, and then adjourned to another
part of the house. The "Union Times,"
which supported Wolf 3 years ago, but,l
which is now for Muhlenberg, states that
the Wolf meeting numbered but 65 all told,"
and it adds, that this is all the supporters his
excellency can muster in that county. The
Muhlenbergers, according to their own ac
count, mustered 100 strong; others repre.
sent the number at 60.
E. L. FINLEY.
On the day previous to this "harmony"
affair, a democratic Anti-Masonic meeting
was held. Of this meeting the Star bays:
"It was truly one of the largest and most
respectable meetings ever held in Union
county. Perfect union and harmony per
vaded the multitude in attendance. A spirit
of Anti-Masonic perseverance flashed in ev
ery eye. Every person in attendance must
admit that the people have taken the matter
into their own hands. A sure indication - of
success was seen in every eye, and heard
from every tongue, save the office holding
few, and the huckFheat swarm, who were
apparently withering away like tender flow
ers before the scorching rays of a mid-day
sun."
The Washingtoncounty Fariner—JosEPH
Rrrrma, will double distance both the fac
tions put together in good Old Union.—
Carlisle Exp.
We continue to receive the most cheering
evidence from all parts of the State, of the
prospects of Mr. Rimer. He will be elected,
we predict, by a majority of 10,000, over
the united votes of Muhlenberg and Wolf.
The press and the people are rallying every
day to his standard. We hail the abilse,
which the opposition is beginning to. pour
from its venal fountains, as one of the bright•
est harbingers of his triumph.--Car. Her.
The "Democratic Van Buren, Johnston,
Muhlenherg and Wolf Herald" of Philadel
phia, in-speaking ofthe quarrel of the "great
Democratic party," makes the following
liberal admission:
"We are determined not to participate in
this disreputable squabble. We will have
nothing to do with the personal qualities of
the candidates; but if profession gives pre
eminence to one above another we do une.
quivocally say, that pre-eminence is on the
side of JOSEPU RITNER !"
THE VAN BUBEN CONVENTION.—Since
the adjournment of this body the adminis•
tration pr;nts are giving in their adhesion
Union county, hold meetings in favor of their
respective candidates, on the 20th inst., and
not more than seventy fire persons could be
mustered for each, while the Ritner meet
-1 ing in the same county was attended by n
bout fart hundred persons! Well done U
nion. A friend at Harrisburg assures us by
letter, that Ritner's majority in that county
will be larger than on any former occasion,
and that since the receipt of the intelligence
of the nominations at Baltimore, hundreris
have come out for the Washington Counts
Farmer, who before occupied "the fence."
We may mention for the information of our
friends in the interior, that they may confi
dently count upon a large majority in the
city and county or Philadelphia. Thewhigs
of the First District are already about to
move upon the subject, and before the close
of August, the second and third Districts will
follow the example. Before the Baltimore
nominations were announced—and while
the friends el Gov. Wolf hesitated, between
Mr. Van Baron and Judge White, consid
erable difference of opinion existed among
1 our political friends, as to the course which
ought to bd pulsued by the whigs. But the
friends of Gov. Wolf having again sneaked
back into the Van Buren ranks—having,
notwithstanding the insult and obloquy heap.
ed upon their delegates, while in Baltimore,
determined to support a man for the Presi
dency, who, at the last contest, was denounc
ed and assailed by them, as unworthy the
Vice Presidency, but one course is left the
whigs, and in duty to their party and their
country, they will pursue it without turning
to the right or to the left, to contend about
minor and unimportant questions, not affect•
ing the great cause,for the triumph of which
they have so long and so ably contended.
to the nomination, and are laboring hard to
prove the Democracy of the candidates,
Mr. Van Buren's opposition to universal suff
rage, his evasive, vacillating,,non.committal
policy—and the practical amalgamating
principles of Col. Johnson, to the contrary
notwithstanding. It is altogether too big a
dose for many of our Jackson friends in this
quarter.
Mr. Van Buren has 'Tien-fund!' accepted
the unexpected nominal ion!! [N. Jew!, con.
In 'the address of the Lewistown disor
tanizors they boast .much of their excessive
friendship to the General Administration and
of their opposition to the United States Bank
Monster. We will not undertake to judge
of the delegates from other counties, but re
specting those of our county, we aver that
two were firm supporters of the Mammoth
Bank—ono a decided Anti-Jackson man and
two unsuccessfiil applicants to Gov. Wolf
(or office. We, further assort without fear
of contradiction that four steadfast demo
crats of standing could not have been found
in all Northampton county, who would have
consented to go to/Lewistown to dO the dirty
work of the disorTanizers.—Buston Sent.
The "PEOPLE':, PRESS" (what a misno•
user!) says, "To notice some men is itself a
degradation." This is a truism. Yet it is
sometimes a necessary degradation. If,
however, we had turned the bitter enemy of
our benefactor—had aimed by cunning to
deceive the people—was in the weekly habit
of misrepresentation and deception,we ought
and would feel ourselves degraded. We
would feel elaylrno/d must have felt 'tiler his
safe arrival on board of the Vulture. If
the "People's Press" can contemplate such
creatures with complacency, all we can say
is, it must not have very elevated views of
honorable character.—Carlisle Exp.
We are pleased to see that TUADDEUS
STEVENS Esq., has accepted the invitation
of the Anti-Masonic Committee of Allegany
county, to visit Pittsburg' and participate in
the celebration of the 4th of July next. Our
friends in that connty will receive the visit
of this champion of our cause with the high
est gratification. and Mr. S. will experience
equal pleasure in visiting the Birmingham

the citizens of one of the most flourishing
cities and firmest Anti-Masonic districts in

FANT.tencm.s.--The Chambersburg Pa.
Telegraph gives a deseilption of a "fantas
tical parade," which took lace recently in
Chambersburg, the object of which was to
ridicule the militia law. We extract the
following from the description: "It seemed
that all the old clothes of the town had been
collected, and patched with cloth of various
colors, and stuffed or stretched. To this
was added every sort of ludicrous head dress
imaginable, with stumps of brooms, and all
other kind of strange equipments for arms;
the music was corresponding, and an old
stove pipe was hauled on a dray by a mule
for artillery. Blind, worn-out, and deform.
ed horses were procured for the officers to
ride. The whole furnished one of the most
laughable sights we have ever beheld. Of
ficers and men, with the odd assortment of
names on their roll, including their dress
and accoutrements, were enough to make
the looker on believe that they were inhabi
tants of another planet, or had just emerged
fiona Pluto's smoky dominions."
Cnrcsoo.—We took occasion a few days

A Black Duel at New Orleans.
A Court of Heiler was sometime since
established at New Orleans, with the object
of preventing duelling. It seems to have
had very little effect, however, as duels are
as common there as ever--and are not con
fined to the white population, us a lute num
ber of the New Orleans rue American
contains an account of an "affair of honor,"
in which two gentlemen of color were the
combatants. They used broad swords, and
fought. most furiously, but were seParated .
by some white by-standers before they had
tune to kill each other scientifically. It is
stated that they had previously- fought an
other duel with pistols, and one, like Achil
les, was wounded in the heel, but not mor
tally. As soon as the state of his health
permitted, he challenged his combatant to
fight with broad swords. One of the parties
received a wound in the arm, another in the
breast, and another in the side, while he re
turned with interest, these outward and vial
-4) marks of the wrath and skill or his an
tagonist, by cutting into his skull so as to
expose his brain, dividing his hand in two
equal parts, and inflicting divers other
slashes upon his person. The duel was
fought in one of the most public streets of
New Orleans, at three o'clock in the after
noon. We rejoice ut this occurrence,
inasmuch as it will do more to diScoun
tenance duelling than all the COU I Is of Hon
or in the country. Indeed we are puzzled
to conceive how a Court of limier could
advantage the cause of philanthropy at all
with regard to. duelling, for an appeal to a
Court °Moiler on the part of either of the
combatants, would be branded as an act of
cowardice, according to the false code—
would, in i'act, be considered equivalent to
an appeal to the law. Suppose for example,
that a scoundi el, under the cloak of friend
vhip, should stOal him the family of a respec
table mini, and seduce from him the Alec
lions of his wife, could any Court of Honor
satisfy the injured husband for the injury in
flicted? Certainly not,and an appeal to such
a court, under such circumstances, would be
considered not only dastardly but degrading.
Some may argue that the husband should
rather rejoice than otherwise at the loss of
auch a wife. Very true, but the act is not
less criminal on that account, and the man
must be a philosopher indeed, who not only
rejoices over the seduction because he is
thereby rid of a bad or a weak woman, but
who also turns round and thanks the seducer
for his act of deliberate viillainy. There
are few among us, however peaceable and
life-loving, who would not, under such cir
cumstances, attempt in some way to punish
the false hearted wretch; and although we
hold the opinion that a villain of this charac
ter is not entitled to the terms of honorable
warfare, we could hardly condemn a man for
playing the part of a duellist under such
circumstances.
The system is, however, no matter what
the circumstances, a vile and bloody one,
and instead of constituting Courts of Honor,
of our State Legislatures would hold all the ,
parties—principals, seconds, spectators and
all—liable to the severest punishment, and
inflict it upon one or two by way of example,
we should soon have very few duels.—Bick•

Oz:rAt the request of a number of our
subscribers, we have commenced the inser
tion in our columns of Capt. fltartnirxres
popular work, bearing the title at the head
of this paragraph. As, by the arrangement
of our paper, the first page is devoted to
literary and miscellaneous matter, we are
enabled to do this without trenching on the
depattments of news and politics; and we
believe that the publication of this popular
work in numbers, will be quite as accepta
ble and entertaining to our readers as any
thing which we could offer them under our
literary head.
By this arrangement, our readers are, in
reality, furnished with the contents of a
work, which in volumes, would cost them
nearly the whole subscription price of the
paper for one year, through cur columns,
ynd have for their money all the advantage
/and benefit of the newspaper it.to the bar
gain. In other words, they. get thin popu
lar and entertaining work gratuitously. We
trust this will be an inducement to the lovers
of light literature to subscribe for our paper.
We candidly avow that this is one motive
with us for inserting it; but another of equal
force, is the desire by which we have been
uniformly actuated, to render our paper as
generally useful and interesting as possible.
If we succeed in this aim, our highest wishes
will be realized. The work itself, so far as
it has appeared, is well written and full of
interest, and bids fair to become one of the
standard works of the age.
0:7" - We would advise all our subscribers
to file the papers containing it, as they will
be well worth preserving. We shall issue
&few extra numbers, so that new subscribers
(only) who wish it, can have the work from
its commencement.
0:7 - The Juno Nos. of the "LADY'S Boos"
and Litton's "MUSEUM" have been received
at this office. They both maintain the high
character of the works to which they be.

°to - Persons desirous of subscribing for
the Second Volume of the Republic of Let

The first number of the second volume will
be issued next Saturday, and will contain
"ELLA," by Charles Lamb, "one of the most
beautiful & popular worksof the time." The
work is published weekly, in New York, by .
Geo. Dearborn, at 88 per annum in advance.

fessed to be the organ of pure Anti-Mason
ry, and to oppose ene of its candidates on
personal grounds alone! We then knew that
their professions were all hypocrisy. Some
of our credulous friends thought us harsh in
denominating them as "Apostate, Renegade
Anti-Masons." But their subsequent con
duct has proved that we were not mistaken.
They are now openly opposed to the Anti-
Masonic party and laboring, with shameless
zeal, for its overthrow! Yes, Cooper, the
Anti-Masonic Orator of last July, and Hor
ner, one of the Committee of Arrangements,
are now the unblushing enemies of our cause,
and the supporters ofthe "CHURCH AND
STATE" candidate!!! Of course, nothing
true or honest could be expected from such
Editors!
They say that many Anti-Masons of this
county will support Muhlenberg. This is
without the slightest foundation in truth.—
A few, who once professrd Anti-Masonry
—who belong to the hollow-hearted Junto,
will support him. But we should blush to
call them Anti-Masons! We trust their lead
ers will never again disgrace our pure par
ty. But the Junto cannot command fifty
votes. The respectable men who were
misled by them at the last election, have left
them since they have thrown off the mask.
Railer will receive a much larger vote in
this county than he did in 1832. As to the
Renegade Priest, he is about as popular as
the Renegade Junto—he will not receive
500 votes in the county. Wolf will hardly
get more. The People will elect BrrsEß, l
who will retrench the wasteful extravagance
of the present administration. The lies of
the apostates, and theforgeriC s of their aids,
cannot prevent it.

that there is nothing like having "two

office to which he aspires. Well done,par.

OzrThe Editor of the Compiler is also
mistaken when he says, it was owing to the
"clemency of the Judge," that we were sav
ed from the disgrace of being put in the
"hole" from which he was released by his
benefactor and friend, Gov. WOLF. It is
true, we were indicted for publishing a com

Mason. And it is also true, that we did not
do as Mr. Lefever did, go forward, acknencl
edge the libel and receive the punishment
of the law, without attempting to prove the
truth of the charges in the communication.
Had the "clemency of the Judge" permitted

THE JUNTO & ITS RECRUITS!
MR. EDITOR, ,
It is a matter of surprise to every one who
has been paying attention to passing events
in this county, how the Junto can hang to
gether since the late acquisition to its for
ces; for according to the former courses of
its component parts, there was no single
point in politics in which they were not an
tipodes to each other! The editors, with
their original parties, were until lately, no
thin • more than disappointed, or dissatisfied
Anti-Masons--entertaining all the political
sentiments of that party, and differing with
the great majority as to the merit, qualifi
cations and conduct of a particular individ
ual only; but holding and advocating senti
ments in direct hostility to the administra
nt= of the General Government. The new
recruits profess to be altogether of a differ
ent kidney—Jackson up to the hub,and real
Simon Pure Van Burenites, disposed to ad
mit no equals in their zeal in promoting the
success of that gentleman!
How, then, are they held together? 'Tis
by a tie which, not much to the honor o
human nature, is more binding upon certain
individuals than either charity or love: 'tie
eney_and hatred which forms the bond of
their union! They envy Gov. Wolf the fair
fame, and honest reputation which he has
has acquired. They hate him for the good
he bas been instrumental in bringing about,
in the establishment of a General System of
Education—a System by which the chil
dren of the poor man may be placed in a sit
uation to compete with those of the rich, the
proud, the lordlings of the land.. When any
other subject than the abuse of Wolf is at
tempted to be broached by the new recruits,

the speaker into silence, by gently warbling
to his ear a beautiful couplet made, or alter

There is no difference of opinion on this

_morning last, by some person or persons
and robbed of rising of four hundred dollars;
three hundred and sixty of which belonged
to Col. Crane, first Cleik in the depart-

have entered through a cellar window, the
inside doors of the building being as usually,
left unlocked. No person has as yet been
apprehended, but a general impression pre
vails that those who committed the deed
were well acquainted with the prernis* .
and as it is unusual to leave any money in

some means, that money was there. —?el.

A Frenchman of some distinction lately
attempted in a provincial town of France to
pull out his wife's tongue. Not being able
to succeed in doing it with his fingers, he
armed himself with a razor, which however
the wife was fortunate enough to wrest from
his hand. Her cries brought in the neigh
bours, who seized and confined the monster.
A CoMVORTABLE PRESCRIPTION.---Mint
Julip, a celebrated compound, a native, we
believe highly popular, Invention, is recom
mended at New Orh•ans for the Cholera.
It is remarked by, some of the papers that
the recommendation was supererogatory as
it is taken "in the natural way."
IMPORTANT DECISION FOR EDITORI3.-At
the recent trial before Judge Irving, , in the
Court of Common Pleas, between the pro
prietors of this paper and John H. Potts, it
was decided that editors and reporters of
newspapers had an "undoubted right to give
publicity to matters taking place before tho
police office, and in other courts—to what
may be said by any party subject to judicial
enquiry—or what may be said by the mag
istrates."—(N. Y. Sun.)
- CASUALTY AT A Beprunic.—While the
ordinance of baptism was performing on
Sunday last, in the water at Fox Point near
Providence, R. I. one of the boats which
were filled with persons attending the cere
mony, overact, 'and Mr. Wheaton Allen,
aged nineteen, was drowned. Another per
son was taken out of the water,early life
less, but after much effort was resuscitated.
A NOTHER STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION..-Six.
ill Persons Scalded.—We learn from the
Cincinnati Republican, of the 23d ult., the
painful intelligence that the Steamboat Ma
j eqic, while stopping at Memphis, Tenn. on
her way from New Orleans to St. Louis, on
Wednesday the 14th ult. exploded one of her
boilers, while on the eve ofehoving from the
wharf at Memphis, producing a most me
lancholy loss of life and limbs. About six
ty persons were scalded, a large portion of
them mortally, and nearly all of them dan
geroasly. The deck passengers were the
exclusive sufferers, they were principally
German emigrants. The cabin passengers
were supposed to have entirely escaped.
