From the Pittsburg Gazette, of July B. OELEIBRATION Of the Fourth of July, by the citizens of Allegheny county opposed to Secret Societies. Never was the Anniversary of American Independence commemorated in a mode more congenial to the spirit of true republi canism, than it was upon Saturday last, by the Anti-Masons of this county. At the hour of nine in the forenoon, the people began to assemble in the place allot ed for the celebration—a delightful orchard situated a few rods north of the Canal Bridge, on the Fourth street road. Accom modatiees had been provided for ladies, and we are gratified to state that although im tice to that effect had only been given the afternoon previous, yet the 'assembly was honored by the presence of at least two hun dred of our fair country women, amongst whom we noticed several from the city of Philadelphia. The weather being fine, by ten o'clock a bout two thousand persons had collected, and the President of the day, Hon. Harmer Denny, called the assembly to order in a brief but eloquent address. The exercises of tho day then followed in this order, viz: 1. Prayer, by the Rev. John Black,D. D. 2. Reading of the Declaration of Inde pendence, by Wm. W. Irvin. 3. Oration, Henry M. Watts. The reg ular exercises being concluded, .the Presidnt of the day announced to the audience that they were honored with the presence ofdistinguislied visiters from vari ous parts of the Commonwealth. The cry immediately arose for "Todd, of Fayette l" Mr. Todd had just arrived in town, and ta ken his seat on the platform assigned for strangers. He was evidently taken by sur prise—but, he is not the man to be discon certed under any circumstances—yielding to the manifest wishes of the audience, he addressed them for a few minutes, during which he was repeatedly interrupted by cheers, when he sat down the acclamations of applause were loud and unanimous. Colonel Henry L. McConnell, of Hunt ingdon, was next called for, but that gentle man declined on account of the lateness of the hour, and his desire that the audience should not be detained longer from hearing Mr. Stevens. "Stevens!" "Stevens!" was then shouted by a thousand voices at their utmost pitch, and Thaddeus Stevens, the Champion of Ed ucation and of equal rights, appeared for the first time before a western audience. We shall not attempt a description of this great effort, inasmuch as the committee of Arrangement have addressed a letter to Mr. Stevens, for a copy of his remarks. Suffice it to say, that the vast concourse of people listened for one hour with breath. less attention, save when the out pouring of his eloquence would call forth their sponta neous plaudits. All were delighted with the enchanting power of an orator, who, surpassing any that we have ever heard, addressed himself at the same time to the heads and the hearts of his hearers. After Mr. Stevens had finished, the Pres ident of the day thanked the audience for their kindness and attention, and congratu- lated them that not the slighest disorder had occurred to interrupt their enjoyment. The benediction was then pronounced by the Reverend gentleman who had opened the exercises with Prayer, and the Assem bly quietly dispersed. The whole celebration was concluded by early dinner time, so that those who desired it, had a good portion of the day left to pass with their families. This is the first Tem. penance celebration in Allegheny county ; for be it known that not a solitary refresh- meat, except water, was provided or made its appearance on the ground, during the whole morning. The Anti• Masons have set a noble example—we trust that they will keep it up from year to year, and that it may be followed by all the political parties of the country. e had almost forgotten to state that a mongst the guests were visiters from Phila delphia, Lancaster, Adams, Dauphin, Hunt ingdon, Indiana, Washington, Fayette, But ler, Beaver, and most of the adjoining counties. MR. TODD'S REMARKS, Made at the celebration of the 4th inst. at Pittsburg LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I had not expected the honor of addressing you. It is only within the last hour that I arrived, in your city. lam therefore alto oSther unprepared; end whatever I may say will be the thoughts of the moment. The mode in which you propose to cele brate the Fourth of July, is to me both nov -el and,pleasing- • I have attended many cote brations; but nonethat, to me,,appears so op propriate to the occasion as the one yon have adopted. In the Declaration of Independence p - juat read, we find those sages of the Revolution, often recounting the numerous acts of ty ranny whiCh compelled them to assert their natural and unalienable rights, appealing to heaven for the rrctitude of their intentions, and expressing their firm reliance on divine Providence. Such was the spirit of oar Pa there of the Revolution, and such was the canner in which they commenced that awful contest with the most powerful nation upon earth. The moult has shown that He in wheat they placed their confidence did not alert them, If we would preserve our liberties, both eirilited religious, we must follow their ex ample—our trust must be la the Almighty It has often been to me a subject of regret, that our meetings on the Fourth ofJuly,and all our other primary meetings of the peo ple, were not attended more generally by the pious and the good. Our's is a govern ment of the people; and it has been said, per haps profanely said, that "the voice of the people is the voice of God." But of what people can this be in any measure true? Of the profane, the profligate, and the wicked? surely not. If true to any extent it must apply to those, and to those only, who have the fear of God before their eyes. It there fore gives me pleasure to see the present meeting conducted in a manner becoming a moral and religious people—in a manner calculated to call back our attention with gratitude and reverence to that Being who gave us a place and a standing amongst the nations of the earth; and who has preserved us hitherto in the enjoyment of civil and re ligious liberty. But if we would expect the continuance of those inestimable blessings we must use the means. Too many of our good people believe that it is enough for theni to attend the polls on the second Tuesday of October and vote. This is altogether a mistake.-- Long ere that time the current that controls the election has taken its course and then single votes are as unavailing to check the current, as the power of their arms would be to stop the whirlwind. What then is their duty? I set them attend and influence the primary meetings of the people; those meetings which give the tone to public sentiment. Let them see that honest, virtuous, moral and intelligent citi• zens are put in nomination for office; and then, when the election comes, they will at least have the opportunity of voting for good men. How often now do you hear those men complain, when about to vote, that neither of the candidates between whom they are compelled to choose are at all fit for the office for which they Are proposed? but that they must select between them?— Now whose is the fault? are they not them- selves to blame? Had they attended the meetings that first designated the candidates, the case would probably have been very dif ferent. No country upon earth contains a greater portion of virtue and intelligence than our own. It is therefore our own fault if; at any time, our public servants are un qualified for their posts. I have often been astonished at the course pursued by our pious citizens in regard to this matter. They pray that God would give us pious and good men for rulers, and yet neglect, shamefully neglect the means calculated to effect their please. As well might the Farmer expect bread without tillinfr ° the ground, as we ex pect wise and goodmen 'in public stations without using the means to obtain then.— Let it never be forgotten that the Almighty works by means. Do not misunderstand me, I am no sectarian, I want no union of church and state: but speak without refer ence to the diflerent religious creeds. I want to see men alone in power who are hon est, and who have the fear of God before their eyes: and to effect this! wish the pious and the good,not only to attend our elections, but also to mix with and influence the pri mary meetings of the people. It is a duty they owe to themselves, their country and their God. When this is done it may with some propriety be said that the voice of the people is the voice of heaven. One word as to our coining election.— Mr. Watts, in his oration referred to that trite but true proverb "that power is ever stealing from the many to the few." It is also equally true that power long enjoyed by the same hands degenerates into Tyranny. Our Revolution in 1776 purged the moral atmosphere and brought into power a set of noble, magnanimous and virtuous mon.— But in 1800 a revolution was thought neces sary. As these things took place before my recollection, I can only speak of them as history speaks. From the year 1808 up to the present time the same party—at least -nominally, has continued in power and without intend ing censure unnecessarily, it may be fairly interred that they are much less honest than they were in the outset. There is in every society corrupt men .who are seeking their own interest rather than the public good. These will always crowd into the dominant party. Being under the control of no prin ciple except what is purely selfish they easi ly change sides, and are always found with those who have most to give: It therefore becomes necessary to fall back to first prin ciples, and reorganize the democratic party upon its original basis at EQUAL moms.— Again, the party now in power have expend ed in the last few years twenty-five millions of the people's money. How has this mo ney been expended? The people want to know. They want a settlement. They have provided by law that after a Sheriffhas been in office for three years, he shall not be elected for the next three—and why? Let him, says the law, settle up and show what he has done with the people's money. Again, you appoint your county Treasurer from year to year,for three years, and then he is not re-eligible; and for the same reason: let him settle up and show what he has done with the public money. If these principles are right as regards your Sheriffs and Treasurers, why not ap ply them to the present Administration?— They have been six years in power; have expended in that period nearly twenty mil lions of treasure ' Has it been wisely and fairly expended? We want to know, we wish a complete expose to be made. If all is right, posterity and their country will give them credit. If ivrong,those wrongs should be checked and exposed. But how is this to be effected? Not by continuing the same men in power, every one will say. But will we be any better by taking another faction of the same party; men, who have partici pated with the present administration in all their leading measures,and wha.have shared in the public spoils? surely not. "Ask my brother," says the old adage, "if I am a rogue." A complete and entire change can only efrect our purpose This the people ought to do; not only for their own satisfaction, and to check extrava gance now, but to give an earnest, that those now put in power, will in due time be also called to settle up their accounts. (I:The Editor of the Beaver Argus, a Whig paper, (who was in Pittsburg at the time,) says Mr. SrnvENs' speech was a pow erful display of ortvoty, and his bitter sar casms were put forth to the most handsome language, and glowing style, which called forth decided and unanimous tokens ofappro. bation from the assembled multitude. He opened upon the subject of Masonry, and after giving the "handmaid" a few hard knocks, took a review of the measures and policy of the Nat:onal Administration, and its rapid strtdes to despotic power, in which he showed most fearfully the present con dition of the country, and the prlcipice on which it now stands. On this point he pour ed out the whole strength of his own great mind, and surpassed even the high charac ter that had preceded him over the Alleghe nies, as one of Pennsylvania's first orators.

It would be affectation in me to attempt to disguise the proud and grateful emotions which this evidence of your favor has ex cited. I have been highly gratified in see ing, and becoming acquainted with many of the citizens of this City and County; but my arrangements will prevent me from availing myself of the tender of your further hospi• tality. You have been pleased to. speak favora bly of my efforts in behalf of general Edu cation, After times will be at a loss to un- derstand why it was meritorious to support a measure, which it were disgraceful to op. pose; the denial of which would be so Owl ously unjust and oppressive to the poor, as to make it wonderful how, any respectable portion of community could be brought to oppose it. • If, as you do me the.honor to suppose, I was an early and efficient Anti. Mason, I have been so in company with you, and the other Anti• Masons of Allegheny, and my ambition would be fully satisfied to be tho't your equal in purity of intention, firmness of purpose, and zeal in so sacred a cause. If 1 were permitted to arrogate to myself any merit fer serving our country, it would be for maintaining, through all difficulties, un compromising hostility to Secret Societies. Accept, Gentlemen, for yourselves and. those for whom you act, my grat4ul ac knowledgement for this and numerous other instances of kindness, which I have received from you, during, my visit to your hospita ble city. Very respectfully, • Your ob't Beryl, THADDEUS STEVENS. To Messrs. DENNY, DARLINGTON, HUGHES, ROSERtIRGH. FEARNS, and others. COMMUNIC A7ICINS Fur the Star & Banner MR. EDITOR, It is not my intention to enter into a news paper war with any man or set of men, but when I see communications which I know do not speak •the truth in all their parts, I take it for granted that all men who think proper, have a right to correct the assertions so made; particularly when the real name of the author accompanies the same. In the Compiler of the 14th inst., I see n communication signed "John B. Clark." However douh'ful it may be, as to the real authorship, that is neither here nor there,l the people can judge for themselves. In his communication he slates, "First, the filet that a large majority of the leading and most influential democratic presses, pre viously to the 4th of March Convention in 1829, took a firm stand in favor of the two term principle, and vehemently urged the nomination of a new candidate, upon the ground that six years was long enough for one set of men to hold office. And I know the fact, (having been honored with a seat in the Convention of 1829,) that the princi pal argument urged against the re-nomina tion of Gov. Shulze was that rotation in of fice' was a cardinal principle of democracy —for this Gov. Shulze was rejected, and George Wolf nominated as the Democratic candidate, and the two term principle was considered forever settled in Pennsylvania." When Mr. Clark makes use of such lan guage as the above, I would ask him wheth er he is addressing himself to an enlighten ed people, or whether he intends it for such as know no better. Does not Mr. Clark, and every other man that reads; know that Gov. Shulze was rejected for no other rea son than his opposition to Gen. Jackson?— Was he not solicited by the public prints? was he not solicited by a number of individ uals, to declare himseifin favor of General Jackson, and were not his answers evasive, and not at all to the point to which he was interrogated? This was the true cause of his being rejected, and every honest and candid man, who recollects the eircumstan ces, will admit this to be the fact, Mr. Clark's assertions to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Clark speaks strongly in favor of the "two term system," and at the same time, and almost with the same breath, advocates the election of Henry A. Muhlenberg, the man who has been elected three times in succession to Congress, two years of which have yet to run, and now a candidate before the people of Pennsylvania for Governor! Why not resign his seat in Congress? The reason is simple, "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!" This is rotation in office with a vengeance! 0 consistency, where is thy jewel! I would say not in Parson Muh lenberg! Mr. Clark also speaks of the Fathers of Democracy of Adams county being opposed to the re-nomination of Gov. Wolf, long be fore the 4th of March Convention. How was this affected? I answer, that John B. Clark, and a few more disorganizers of the Borough of Gettysburg, who had lost all their influence with the administration, were determined if possible to defeat the re-nom ination of our present and worthy Governor, George Wolf; at it they went, tooth and nail; and that at an early day, to impress upon the minds of the unsuspecting yeomanry of this county as they happened to meet with them, and those they could not see, they took great pains to send them word, that Gov. Wolf could not be it-elected, and that it would be hazardous to make the attempt! I would ask the yeomanry of the country, have they bettered it by getting up the second candi date, (an apostate preacher, who has forsa ken the pulpit for the sake of office!) to dis tract and divide the Democratic party? I now leave it to the honest yeomanry of the country to ponder over this matter and judge for themselves. It is now reduced to a certainty, that the Parson has no earthly chance of being elec ted—would it not then be good policy in the Democratic party uniting on the strongest man, George Wolf, the friend of public im provements, and a General System of Edu cation, which gives the poor man an oppor tunity of having his children educated, and that too, on the same footing with the rich man's child? As lam not well able to han dle this subject for the want of a little more education, I shall now drop it. As to Mr. Clark's justification in respect of his being a Defaulter to the State, I have nothing to say at present on that subject— as I am not in possession of facts, it is not my wish to hurt the feelings, or injure the character of any man by mere assertions; but I have no doubt the truth, and nothing but the truth, will be presented to the public ere long, by an abler penman than I am, as mere assertions would be doing injustice to a man who has been, as he says, accused of being a Defaulter. In closing I would only suggest, that his own assertions do not , clear his skirts of the accusations made against him as a Defaulter; however, a short time will bring the whole matter to light—have a little patience, my country friends, and youshall know all about the matter. As Mr. Clerk, in his commu nication to the public, dze. professes to be one of the most honest and intelligent men of the day, therefore lie can have Kw °Nee,. tions in having the truth slated,which I have no doubt will ride well in his saddle. JU.STICE. For the Star & Banner. “The Beauties of Clark!” [A NEW WORK JUST ISSUED.] MR. MIDDLETON, I read, in the last "Gumboiler," a long rigmarole of—l hardly know what to call it—however at the bottom of it "John B. Clark," in what you would call boldface letter, stands transcribed ! And how it hap pens that "John B. Clark" is made to fath er it, is a little curious to know! The thing says a great deal about having an "imperi ous duty to perform" in addressing the pub lic upon "fitter subjects," such as working upon "bloodhounds" wi , h "pistols" and "bludgeons"—about the "action" in a "con , spiracy to "rob" him of his good name! a bout "servile minions," "sneaking," "des tardly" "slaves" of "masters"—and some thing about "pandeis" advancing "to the end of their tether!" "Swiss guards;" ompinins of "tack of brains" and being compelled to employ "an amanuensis, whose elliisions he copies and imposes upon the Editor of the Anti-Masonic"-Masonic-Rencgade now-Second-Fiddler. to-the•Junto-sheet,the "Republican Compiler" "for his own pro ductions I" After saying something about "bartering [his?] principles and honor for filthy lucre," he says he dares give—not an account of "the despic'able part he played" three years ago—but a history of his retno. vii by Gov. Wolf! Here then follows a long string about the "honor," and "prosperity of the Democratic party"—his "untrammelled Democracy !" about loving "principles, (?) not men,"and something about a "little knot of office•holders," "Turkish Divan" and the "Gutra.onsnc"!!! After a repetition of the last named things, '3(ilin B. Clark' comes to the charge made against him. he says, by Mr. Somebody, in the "Anti-Masonic Star" (that dread enemy to darkness!) of being. a Public Defaulter, and for being removed up on that ground. His refutation of the as sumed charge reminds me- very much of tt,e conduct of the Rogue I wot of once: He stole a hog (a "whole" one I guess,) from one of his neighbors who was a Ma• gistrate, and before ho could fairly make way with it, fearing detection, he goes to the magistrate and promised for a certain sum to find him his grunter. The magis trate "indulged" him until he got his hog, and then he punished Johnny I Now, Mr. Clark says, before he was re moved he had an unsettled account with the Government and was in its debt—but when removed, he owed it nothing! 1 will not dis pute with him. If he was crooked, as soon as the Governor got him straight, he deter mined to keep him so. As this part of his "address," as he terms it, will undergo an other's scruitiny, in a week or so, I shall let it drop. lam only in love with the exquisite and highly polished quotations above made from what, I suppose, the author (or as Mr. Clark scientifically expresses it, "timantg. eusis,") intends to pass off' upon the public as the "BEAUTIES OF CLARK!" Ido hope, for the benefit of posterity, the writer or some of his friends, will gather together those and all of' the other "beauties" of tha gentleman,cOnatnencing at least three years back, and have them neatly bound in calf, or if in sheep,have a little wool (of the John. son breed) attached thereto! We have the "Beauties"of Shakspeare, Burke and oth. ers,nnd why should we be deprived of the "Beauties of John B. Clark!" GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY•ONE YEARS OLD.-A colored woman, named JoicE Eiram, one hundred and sixty-one years old, is now being exhibited in Philadelphia.— She was the slave of Washington's Father, witnessed the birth of our political Parent, and was sold in 1727 to E. Atwood. She has been blind about 75 years, and weighs only forty or forty-five pounds. She still, however, retains her faculties in a wonder ful degree.—Lane. Union. THE CUT Woum.--The Corn Crops, we apprehend; are destined to suffer somewhat severely, tins season, from the voracity of their old enemies, the Cut Worm. Our far mers are by no meaps pleased with the re turn of the "monster." He has a way of cutting his acquaintance rather more sum. mary than commendable.—Lanc. Union. A letter from Columbia, Adair County, Ky. under date of June 29th says,—"The Cholera is raging here with great violence." OUR NAVY AND OUR COMMERCE.-It will be remembered that a day or two since we made some remarks in relation to the un protected state of our commerce in the gulf of Mexico. We at that lime quoted a pass age from a letter to the Secretary of the Na vy, liy the late commodore Henley, in which said officer stated that he had afforded all the protection to the coast alluded to that' could be afforded by the limited force under his command—three ships and schooners, for the entire West Indies and the gulf of Mexico; and but one - of this number, the schooner Experiment, able to enter the ports of Mexico. We now learn that said schoon er has been withdrawn from the West In dic, station, and converted into a surveying vessel on our own coast.- Our commerce in the'quarter alluded to must therefore be in a very precariotea situation; and we are not surprised that so many piracies and outrages by the Mexican authorities are constantly heard of. The truth is, we want niore small vessels in service, such as gun brigs and twelve gun schooners; white we believe that ample and serviceable employment might be found for all the public vessels now lying at our naval dock yards, many of which are in a state of rapid decay. It is absurd on the part of the Secretary of the Navy, to say, that he cannot find em ploy'rrieut for our vessels. Look at our c,oin. No Amanuensis! merce in the East Indies,at this time. It has been, until very recently, wholly unprotect. ed, and even now there is hut one sloop of war on her way to that quarter. Look a gain at that great nursery for seamen—the whale fishery of the Pacific ocean! It is to tally unprotected, by an armed American vessel, unless we must consider the small force on the South American coast as the - national guardian of that valuable branch of our commerce. Again—why is it that we I have no ships of war on the north-western coast of America, in the nergli t bourhood of Columbia river, where such an extensive fur trade is carried on! We believe that no vessel has visited our possessions on et coast since Corn. Biddle was there in the sloop Ontario, in 1817 or 'lB. Again—lt is well know that tw . a American seamen have been in bondage among the savages of one of the Pelow Islands for years--and it may be that numbers °fathers are similar ly situated, while their wives and little ones are mourning them as dead. Why is not a ship of war sent to the rescue of such? What is the object, of a navy, if it is not the protection of our commerce and the rescue of such American citizens as may fall into ' the hands of savages. In short, there is a bundance of employment for °II our national vessels. The number of American seamen is daily diminishing,--henee the propriety of adapting some course calculated to recruit this branch of the public service, and to in spire confidence at home and respect a broad.—Phil. GEOGRAPHY.—The Albany Evening Jour nal declines praising the London Saturday Magazine, because of the want of geographi cal ktwwledge evinced in the following para graph.-- THE FALLS OF NIAGARA.—"The Cata ract of Niagara is caused by the fall of the river St. Lawrence, over a ledge of the bed of limestone which forms the basis of the surrounding country. The St. Lawrence takes its rise in the Mississippi, and is one of the most magnificent rivers in the world." And yet the London writer is correct and the Evening Journal wrong. Strictly speak ing, and is in the old works described and called the river St. Lawrence extends from Lake Superior to the ocean. Thus what is called the river Detroit, is merely a strait, (which is in truth the English of the word Detroit,) and forms a part of the St. Law rence. The Lakes from the Lake of the Woods down to Montreal, were all consider ed as merely lagoon, or expanded portions of the great river. Niagara is properly merely the name of the cataract of the St. Lawrence: while the St. Lawrence and the Mississippi rivers both have 'their origin in the morasses, and in the seasons of high wa ters, some of the lesser lakes discharge their waters both ways—westwardly into the Mississippi,and eastwardly into the St. Law rence. The Englishman is therefore right. As a sign of our "preference" and' delib erate determination (long since formed) with regard to the gubernatorial question,we have placed, to-day, at the head of our editorial column, the name of JOSEPH RITNER us the Anti-Van Buren and Reform candi date for Governor. We do it as well, in ac cordance with general usage, as from a con viction of its expediency. On the part of the conductors of the paper, it denotes a fix edness of purpose which, when viewed in connection with the principles they advocate, and the candidate they have chosen, augurs a corresponding purity and rectitude of mo tive. To say that this consideration has no influence on the public mind is to set up o pinion against fact. But in addition to this, by keeping the popular eye continually fixed on the name of the candidate, a stimulus is given to inquiry and reflection, and the ro qui red determination is frequently the result. We have, therefore, lifted up the symbol of. Refbrin, and invite all who now writhe with in the poisoned clasp of the great political serpent, to look upon it and be liberated. [Lancaster Union.

To be serious—and we mean no disrespect to the wife of young Sheridan— Col. Johnson's second mistress has decamp ed with a young Choctaw. The particulars aro thus given in a letter from Georgetown, for which we are indebted to a friend at Louisville: GEORGETOWN, June 24th, 1835. • • • • I should not be so prompt in answer ing your letter, but that I well know your love for a good joke, and I have one of the very best to tell you: or I should rather say, a good truth, for such it is. Col. It. M. Johnson's second wife, Madame Par thette, a yellow woman, hag eloped with one of his Indian students, carrying with her a check for $lOOO, and cash to the amount of $3OO, which she took oat of her titled husband's drawer—she having possession of his keys The name of the Indian is Jones, and he is a fine looking copper-faced savage. The circunrdances were these: One of Julia's* nieces, and Mrs. Johnson, set of oil horseback, on Sunday last,to pay a visit. Two of the Indian students Jones and Hunter, after conveying away four trunks of finery, went oil with them. The Colonel sent Spence; his overseer—a brother of his son-in-law, in pursuit of th4n He ascertained that the runaways had left Lexington on Monday. • • • The Jack son men here are much shocked at this runaway match. They say it has hnppened at a most unfortunate time, and they are afraid his political opponents will get hold of the facts and make them public. • a • • a a Thisscvere interruption of Colonel Johnson's domes tic happiness is not to be wondered at. Ile has been paid by the government to teach the Indian youths at, the Choctaw Academy the principles of morality, and make them familiar with the duties and decencies of life Instead of doing thin, he has set them the exam ple and been their practical tutor in all the mysteries of the most low, and brutal degrading licentiousness. Under such circumstances, is it matter of surprise that his pupils should take possession of his wife or dough ter,whenever whim or fancy lead them to prefer these favored personages to the other wenches of the neigh borhood? Yours, truly, • • • • The following., from the Maysville Eagle of the •?d lost., fully confirm the above: A NI n LOA MATION.—Last week a couple of half breed Indian youths, froth Col Johnson's Choctaw School, passed through this place with two of the Colonel's mulatto girls, (slaves,) whom they bad induced to e lope with them. One of the couple passed themselvei off as husband and wife—the others acting in the Ca pwity ofsereants. An agent of Col. Johnson reached here twenty-four hours after their departure in pur suit, and will probably overhaul them before they reach Canada. We/ ( understand that these youths were well fitted out, hating taken the Colonel's barouche and horses, and fifteen hundred dollari in cash. It is an old proverb that "Evil communications cor rupt good manners." These youths, in one particular at least, were but following the example of their su periors. • Julia was the Colonel's wife. She died of the Cholera in 1832. From the Cincinnati Post. MR. CLAYTON'S ACCOUNT Of his ./Erial Voyage, reported by himself. At a quartbr before six P. M., I castoff the last rope that secured my mid bark to the earth, and immediately she rose majestically into the atmos phere. In an instant I beheld the thousands of spectators that had collected on the outside of the amphitheatre, and in a few moments a rich pano rama of Cincinnati and its surrounding country opened to my view. How delightful was now my situation! High in the air I was suspended by materials capable of bearing twenty or thirty times my weight, and knowing this, I felt as safe as if I had been stand ing on a firm rock with bulwarks around me.— Beneath me I could view the 'Queen ofthe West,' Newport and Covington, and towns, villages, and green and fertile fields. My view was more ex tensive than some might imagine. I could see objects in every direction, distinctly, 20 miles nt least, comequently, the area of my scene was morn than twelve hundred square miles. Around this view several dense clouds floated, their upper surface were illumined by the rays of the sun, and they appeared like vast fields, mountains, project ing rocks and caverns, all clothed in pure white. On leaving Cincinnati, I passed in an East South Nast direction, and was on the Kentucky side of the Ohio river for a short time, but soon crossed the river again and moved about East by South. At half after six o'clock I lost sight of the amphitheatre. Thirty•five minutes after 6 heard the firing of a gun. Ten minutes after seven could bear people shouting, and heard the firing of can non three times in succession, which seemed at considerable distance. At seven I took the first observation with the instrument for ascertaining the rate of my travel., brig, and found that I was moving at the rate of ono mile 4 minutes and 17 seconds—or about 14 miles per hour. Tho above mentioned instrument is simple, and to MO valuable; it was constructed by Dr. Locke, of Cincinnati, to whom I am greatly indebted, not only for the instrument, but for his advice on various subjects, and the automat he has taken in my welfare. I now.marked on a num ber of the way-bills (which Dr. Dames had polite ly prepared for me) the height of the Thermome ter and Baroineter,the course and rate I was tray oiling, and threw these and also a number which wore not marked, overboard. Thermometer 50 degrees, Barometer 24 1-10 inches, course East by South; rate 14 miles per hour. At the time I took my departure, the Thermometer was 83 deg. Barometer 29 3.10 inches. AMm quarter after se. yen, passed a little to the Mora town, which if I mistake not, was Batavia, the town bell Was ring ing, music playing and people shouting. The in habitants noticed me passing over, I waved my flag and threw nut several waybills to them: I was at an altitude of nearly a mile. I continued to pass over a fine open country. At half past seven o'clock I took my second observation. Thor moineter 30 deg. Barometer 21 inches; course East by South, rate ono mile and a half in nine minutes, saw Williamsburg to the south of me. Several clouds were now floating above and be low me, and us they had lost their pure white ap pearance, cast a dulness over all beneath, and rob bed me of a scene of grandeur—the setting of the sun. Moisture from (lie clouds began to accumu late on the surface of my vessel, and to run down the neck, so as to completely soak my pantaloons and feet with water. At 9 o'clock took 3d obser vation; the thermometer 35 degrees, barometer 24 1.10 inches, course oak by south,'rate 1 mile to 6 minutes. The moon now shown, but it was not clear, and I had but a very Imperfect view of the earth. A little before 10 o'clock, water pour ed down upon me; the blankets and Bisects, the ballast bags, mail bag and every thing on board were wet. I throw out a great weight of ballast to-gaiji a more elevated amid drier region in the .atmosphere, a a short time I found myself in a situation, tholth drier, much more unpleasant. The silk had become as hard as wood,icicles hung from the valve rope; I stood in wet clothes upon blankets and sheets, that worn stiff with ice, and if ever I felt cold in my life, it was at this time. ,1 felt ddstious to know the heightli of the thernioni eter.and barometer, hot it was with great difficulty that. I could hold my phosphorous' bottle to See their heighth; he thermometer 10 degrees, the baromdter down to 15 inches. I felt badly and sick at the stomach, and was stiff with cold and wet, and it was- with the greatest difficulty, and only by beating my arms and body, and stamping with my feet,,that I was enabled to keep awake; for I caught myself, even when in the net of strik ing my body, a nodding, and falling inseneiby a sleep.: The nausea - this drowsiness was the d. ,peen and ,ratification of the atmosphere. Being desirous of-preserving my gas, I would not open the iialve to descend tea milder atmosphere; I soon found myself descending, and found that I had to discharge a great quanlity of ballast, more than double the quantity 1 discharged on my former voyage, to keep me at a safe distance from. the earth. At first I thought the loss of the levity of my vessel Was owing to the accumulation orwa., for and ice on its surface; but I have since found if; meowing princiisilly to, the two holes which 1 discovered and temporarily mended before .I loft Cincinnati, but which had broken again and form. ed large apportures. At 10 o'clock I felt too cold to pay any attention to my rate of travel. Short ly alter, passed a little to the left of Florence. At 11 o'clock took an observation; thermometer 35 dg., barometer 24 1-10 inches, course about east by north, rate 1 mile in 6 minutes. At 12 o'clock thermometer 40 dg., barometer 26 inches, course east by north, rate 10 miles an hour. After dark the objects I took for measuring the an gle,for ascertaining the rates of travel,were lights that appeared every now and then to pass beneath me. Be fore one o'clock, the moon was down,and I was left with no better lights to cheer me over the wilderness than a few stars that appeared to struggle thro' the va t por or mist in which I was floating. I thought before the moon went down,that I should have sufficient bal ! last to keep me afloat till sunrise, but at half past one o'clock my last bag of sand went overboard, next in turn went my six bottles and their contents and my provisions, then my cable and anchor, and a while. I found myself again descend ing,then went my blankets and sheets, and soon after my great coat and at last some of my instruments,and after all I could not keep afloat till sunrise. My vessel had sprung a leak, and although all her valuable burthen, except myselfffind gone overboard, yet she was compelled to sink to the bottom of her element. I at last found myself touching the tops of the trees in a dense wood. I stopped my • self with one hand without any difficulty,for I was not moving,nor had been for the last half hour,at a rate ex ceeding two or three miles per hour. !could perceive that there was no space between the trees to bring my vessel the ground. I therefore secured her by means of a rope to a branch and then laid myself down in my cold and disagreeable berth, without any great coat,or blankct,or drink to warm me,and with nothing to gaze upon but darkness, or to listen to but frightful noises in the woods. As soon as the sun arose in the morning,l began to exercise my lungs for the purpose of attracting some one to my assistance, but could not succeed in making any one hear. At seven o'clock in the morning I unlashed vessel from the tree,and drew her to within twenty feet of the ground ,and descend ed by the means of a rope. I struck off in a due West direction,marking the trees,so as to be enabled to find my way back. I soon found a oath which led me to Mr. Bryan's house,about a mile from where I had de scended. The news of. the man having arrived who had travelled thro' the air from Cincinnati to the Al legheny Mountains, spread in quick time for miles a round; and a great number of ladies and gentlemen came to sec me and toy a roil ship: I allowed the "Star of the %Vest" to remain inflated and to ornament the woods until Sunday evening. I was then kindly as sisted by Mr. Bryan, Mr. Meaning, (Justice of the Peace,) Mr. Joseph Pennelton,and two or three oth ers. We cut down several trties,and were enabled to secure her without any injury. The spot on which 1 landed is in Pebble township, Pike county,9 miles from Piketon,lB miles front Chi iicothe,and 100 miles from Cincinnati. The letters en trusted to my care were safely- deposited in the Post Office at Waverly, a few miles from where I landed l i I take this opportunity Of expressing my grateful feelings to the ladies and gentlemen of Cincinnati and its vicinity for their liberal patronage on the day of my ascension, and to assure the public that had it not been for the unforseen escape of gas through the ap pertures before alluded to, I would Wave remained in the atmosphere at least 30 hours and hove accomplish ed my proposed voyage to the geaboard. R. CLAYTON. Cincinnati, July 9th, 1835. NEW YORK, July 10. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.-By the Rhone, Capt. Rockett, arrived yester day, Paris papers to the 21st June have been received. TRANCE.—The report on the American Indemnity Bill was to be made to the Cham ber of Peers on the 4th, and the debate to commence on the Monday following. The general impression was that it would pass as received from the Chamber, but seine supposed that the conditional clause would be stricken out. The Court of Peers was proceeding with the trial of the State Prisoners, but nothing important or decisive had occurred relative to It. The ninety prisoners arrested for signing the Address, for publishing which the Tribune was suppressed, were arraigned before the Chamber of Peers on the 29th of May. Most of them denied having signed or authorized the letter, and the others who were present denied the competency of the Chamber to try them for the offence. SPAIN.—NeiI her of the Allies of Spain had decided on the application of that gov ernment for aid against Don Carlos, whose cause appears to be still gaining. Martinez, the Prime Minister, was about to depart for London on an important mission—to be suc ceeded by Count Forenor.— Transcript. FIVE DAYS LATER FROM FRANCE.—By the ship Pacific, Capt. Hoxie, at New York, the editors of the Journal of Commerce have received Havre papers to Juno 6th and Paris to the sth, both inclusive. AMERICAN INDEMNITY QUESTION.—The Committee in the Chamber of Peers, made their report on the 4th. After some re marks by M. Barante, the further discus sion of the subject was postponed to the 11th, in spite of the efforts of M. Dubouch• age, who wished it put off till the 15th. We see nothing in the tone of M. Barante's remarks, which varied the 'aspect of the question. The trial of the Lyons insurgents in the French Chamber of Peers was not con cluded. In the British House of commons. June 2d, in answer to an inquiry from Lord Lon donderry, Lord Melbourne stated what as sistance had been thus tar rendered to Spain by England under the Quadruple Treaty. The general subject of the call for intervention does not appear to have been discussed on that occasion. Elisondo and Urdache have been evacu rated by the troops of the Queen of Spain The garrisons had gone to Ponapelona.

The Hon. EDWARD EVERITT is the principal Editor of that valuable work; and a knowledge of this is sufficient recommendation for any work to receive favor from the public. A man of, more pure mind or exalted talents, the country cannot boast. The opening and closing articles in the "Review," are said to be from his pen, and are admirably written. We do not receive the "Review"—although nothing would give us more satisfaction, if it is not asking too much.

Should those made by Mr. STEVENS be pub fished, we shall take the earliest opportunity of laying them before our readers. We hope they will be published,as they are high ly spoken of by those who heard him. A notice of Mr. Stevens' speech by the Editor of the Beaver Argus, (a Whig paper,) will be found in another column. An extract of a letter to the Editor of the Harrisburg "Tel egraph," from Pittsburg, says—Mr. STE VENS "arose under cheers. He rivetted their attention for more than an hour in one of those bursts of brilliant and unrivalled elo quence that always spring from him, which was often interrupted by the applause and clapping of the multitude." "There were a largo number of Ladies attended,and seem- ' ed to enter into the spirit of the occasion ' with much earnestness. I saw some join in clapping Mr. STEVENS. I have neither time nor room to give a sketch of his re marks, or even mention the points it em braced, but I hope it will be published, that it may be spread before the public."
