From thr Rhode Island itcpub;ican
Mr. Adams and Mr. Pearce.
1113-So much curiosity and distrust have been
sAnikuil'ested by IVhi4s and I%dg parsers in this
' State concerning a letter froor Ex-President
Adams to the lion. Dolce J. Pearce, of this
town, that we have solicited and now have lib
erty to publish the letter, and we accordingly
present it to our readers, word for word, and
letter for letter:
QUiriCY, Sept. 7th 18:35.
MITRE J. PEARCE Esq. Newport, R.I.
Dear , Sir-1 enclose a copy of the pro•
ceedings of the town of Quincy, upon the
evil-rgport of the Rev'd William M. Cornell,
of Massactiosetts Missionary Society,
and as further evidence that the inhabitants
of Quincy are not so graceless a set as Mr.
Cilrnell represented them to be; I ask your
acCeptatice also of a pamphlet containing
the proceedings of the First Congregation
al Church and Society in the town, upon
the recent settlement of a colleague to their
Pastor, after thirty-five years of faithful ser
. vice by, him in this land of desolations.
I heartily congratulate you upon your re
election to Congress—although upon many
important public measures I diflered widely
in opinion from you in the last Congress,
and-although I do not flatter myself that
we shall agree much better in the next, I am
couvu Led that the party which has
been these two years struggling to break
you down, the base compound of Hartford
Convention federalism and Royal Arch Ma.
.sonry, is so rotten with the corruption of
both its elements, that 1 hail with joy the
victory you have achieved over it; I rejoice
also that the people .hate repaired the in-
justice done by the same party to Mr.
Sprague, and have returned him to Con.
press as your colleague. Of that party
treachery is so favorite an instrument, that
I have heard Mr. Burges complain th a t
they have used it even with him. It is their
nature and vocation—l welcome the result
of your election as a pledge that their
chalice is returning to their own lips. They
. - letrayed Mr. Borges by . not electing him
to the Senate ()film United States. Their
own organ in Providence charges the loss of
his election to the House upon their trench-
erJ. So Will it, and so mote it always be.
They have no honed principle to keep them
together— their only cement is a sympathy
of hatred to every man of purer principle
than themselves.
Towards Mr. Barges himself I cherished
a friendly feeling; for, governed as he is by
impulses, and bitter as hl is in the indul
gence of his sarcastic humour, he has bril
liant parts, a classical taste, occasional
flights of eloquence, and too much honesty
• for his party. I deeply regretted the divis
ion between him and you, and lamented
Still more his open electioneering sp:'eches
:against you; in my humble opinion public
- men debase themselves by personal elec
tioneering against each other. The depo
sitories of public trusts should be ashamed
. to &like themselves the scavengers ofa par
ty; Mr. Barges suffered himself to be so
used by the party to which ho belonged.
verily he has his reward; they have paid
him in kind.
• I have taken as much interest in the
Rhode Iseland elections, as in those of my
own State, since the excitement on the Ma
sonic controversy has had so much influence
upon them. %V hat the politics of the State
May be hereafter, or what yours in Congresa
Will be, I do not conjecture, but 1 hope
they may be' such as to promote the cause
of sound principles, good morals, and the
Union,
I am with great regard.
Your friend and servant.

being unwilling to be "a party to a contest

I olChnif Magistrate by the House of Repre
sentatives." The decision is honorable to
the consistency and character of this high
principled man, and though it may disappoint
the present wishes and expectations of his
personal friends, will but serve to endear him
i the mote to their favorable regard. In say-
I ing thus, we do not intimate, because we do
nut assume, that other candidates who have
been named for this high office, should fol
low the example thus set, of withdrawing
i from the canvas, in the fear of the contin-
I gency of an election by the House. It is.—
!except when taken out of their jurisdiction
Iby previous [lyrs als—a question for the
PEOPLE to determine. They arc competent
to unite upon a single individual, or to nomi
nate and.support any number of individuals.
If more than two are supported for the office,
it is with the full knowledge and-of course
consent, of every individual voter, that in
case no candidate shall receive a !nejer ity of
the whole number of votes, the choice de
volves, by the Constitution, on the House of
Representatives.
RICIILAND, (0.) Aug. 31,1835.
Dean Sin: Being informed that my friends
from different parts of Ohio, having consul
ted together, have come to a determination
to organize and endeavor to produce a con
cert o f action throughout the State on the
subject of the election of President; and as
you are Chairman of one of the principal
committees, which has been constituted with
a view to this object, it is proper that I should
make to you the iiillowing communication.
On all occasions since my name has been
spoken of in reference to the Presidency, 1
have given my friends to understand in con
versations, and by communications that have
been published, that I would not he a party
to a contest that shall be likely to lead to an
election of Chief Mao e' istrate by the
. House
of Representatives. As a matter of choice,
I would not take the office through the in•
strumentality of the [louse.
I was fully aware that this course on my
part would discourage my friends and injure
my prospects; but I was not desirous of the
office, except on such terms as would enable
me to carry out those principles, which
would elevate and tranquilize the political ac
tion of the country.
I was not unaware that there were several
gentlemen, who looked to the office, as 1
believe, with more solicitude than myself,
and who had much higher claims to the suf
frages of their fellow citizens; and, es it was
hardly to be expected that these claims
would be postponed, my resolution was ta
ken
in reference to such a state of things.
My anticipations have been realized. The
ground on which the contest seems now to
be placed by those who are opposed to the
Baltimore nomination, and from the num
ber of candidates in the field, it is not proba
ble.that this ground can be changed, neces
sarily, on the principles I have avowed, ex
cludes me from the list of candidates. I ad
here to my principles, and, of course, acqui
esce most cheerfully in the decision. As a
citizen, I shall ever oppose that which I
conscientiously believe to be wrong in policy
or in principle. .
This declaration is clue to myself, to my
friends generally, and especially to those of
them who havesustained the Administration,
and who were among the first to introduce
my name into the contest. I wish to re
move from all my friends any embarrass
ment with which they may teL in the ensu
ing election of Chief Magistrate on my ac
count. .
With great respect, 1 am,
Very tally and sincerely, yours,
JOHN McLEAN.

HARRISBURG, April 22, 1835.
To GEN. W. H. HARRISON.
DEAR Stn:—As Chairman and Secretary
of the State Committee of the Democratic
Anti-Masonic party of Pennsylvania, we bog
leave to address you on .a subject of impor
tance, both as respects yourself and the par
ty we have the honor in part to represent.
Your name has been frequently and hon.
orably mentioned in this State us a candi
date for the distinguished office of President
of the United States; and as Anti-Masons
we have been called upon to avow ourselves
for or against you. Before we determine
the line of conduct proper to be pursued up
on this momentous question, we beg leuve
to be assured of the fact, whether you are
or _are not, in principle, an Anti-Mason, as
known and recognized by the Anti-Masonic
party of Pennsylvania.
The interest we feel in this matte) we
hope will be our excuse for thus addressing
you; and therefore we respectfully solicit a
candid and explicit answer.
Very respectfully
Your obedient Servants. •
JOSEPH WALLACE,
SAMUEL SHOCH.
Gen. ilfarrisonls Reply.
CINCINNATI!, May 6, 1935.
GENTLEMEM—Your letter of the 22d ult.
written in behalf of the Anti• Masonic State
cotmeittee of Pennsylvania, and directed to
me at North Bend, I have bad the honor to
receive.
You state, "that as my name has been
frequently and honorably mentioned in your
State as a candidate for the distinguished of=
lice of President of the United . States, and
that as Anti• Masons, you had been called
upon to avow yourselves for or against me,
and that before you determine, you wish to
be assured whether I am or am not in princi
ple an Anti-Mason, as known and acknowl
edged by the ilnti•Masonic party of Perin
sylvania."
As I am cot informed of the principles
which govern the Anti-Masonic party of
Pennsylvania, otherwise than that they
are oppoied to Masonry, 1 must leave you
to judge of my principles and opinions in
relation to that order, from the fact, that
neither myself or any of my faintly have
ever been members, mid from that of my
having been in situations where the strong
eSt inducements existed to become a mem
her, ar . iging from tho example of my inti
mate friends and associates, and that too
at a period when the society had never been
impeached either in relation to its general
tendency or to the conduct of any of its
members.
- You will readily conclude gentlemen,
from this statement, that I have never been
partial to the Masonic order. Rut I should
feel that I had been deficient in candour and
disappoint your expectations of the "explic
it reply" which you request, if I were not
to add, that should it ever be my fortune to
be elevated to the high office to which I
h a ve been designated by the partiality of
some of my Pillow citizens, I could on no ac
count sufPe my owe► opinions of Masonry
to lenience my conduct to the prejudice of
those who differ, and amongst whom, how
ever they may err in relation to Masonry
are to be found a full proportion of the tal
ents and the public and private virtues of
the nation. If Masonry is an evil, it must
be corrected by public opinion, by the peo
ple themselves, not by their agents, and
least of all those who administer the govern
ment of the United States. By them no
disqualification af a citizen could be admit•
ted which is not declared by the Constitu
tion itself, no participation withheld in the
advantages which it is its great objects
equally to secure to every description of
citizens.
I am aware that all the consequences of a
constitutional disqualification might be pro
duced and the letter of the instrument re
main unbroken, but I could never be the in
strument to effect any object in that way,the
oath and the moral obligation under which
all our public functionaries act, would in my
opinion be violated as much in the one case,
as the other and the ultimate efirets equally
fatal to our institutions. Forms and literal
adherence may remain when the substance
.luis departed. From the geueral tenor o
your letter gentlemen, 1 am led to conclude
that you are not unfavorably disposed to
wards me, and that I may expect to receive
your support, if alter a strict examination
of my political principles, they should be
Ibund to accord with yours. If then any of
those friends who are exerting themselves to
place me in the high office to which you re
fer, should enquire of one what they are to
expect in the event of their success, I an
swer every thing that could be required of
one possessing a grateful heart, by those
from whom he 7 had received the greatest per
sonal favors, but who believes that debts of
that kind could not be discharged by the vi
olation of any public obligation, and that
the powers vested in the Chief Magistrate of
the Union, were given for the advancement
of the public interest and not to requite per
sonallavours or gratify varsonal animosi
ties.
My personal and political friends must
therefore be content in the event of the ac
complishment of their object, to stand upon
the same ground, with the rest of their fel
low citizens possessing like qualifications of
the head and heart, nnd equal devotion to the
principles of the Constitution. The diffitr
ence rn the professions and epinions of men,
who are candidates for the-votes of their fel
low citizens "before and after obtaining
them," was remarked upon upwards of two
thousand years ago, by one of the most die
tinguished of the [lonians. From the expe
-1 rience we have had it appears that the de
nunciation of the patriotic Consul against
some of his co-temporaries,might sometimes
be not inaptly applied in our own country
and generation. And I may reasonably ex
pect that the professions I have made of re
gard to the Constitution and the principles
upon which it is founded, may be sneered at
by some, openly described by others, and
received with &Artist by a large portion of
those to whom I um personally unknown, but
I should consider myself unfortunate indeed,
if after having devoted forty years of my
life to the service of my country, and repeat
edly filled offices of the highest trust, and
one particularly where nearly the whole pow
ers of government over an intelligent people
were placed in my hands, I should be able
to offer no other guarantee to the faithful
performance of any other trust—but a pro
fession of good intentions.
I have the honor to be
Gentlemen, with great respect
your fellow citizen.

PUBLIC MEETING.
In pursuance of public notice,a large and re
spectable meeting of the citizens of Adams
county was held at the Court-house, in the Bo
rough of Gettysburg, on Saturday the 11th of
September, 1835, to express their sentiments
upon the sublect of Slavery, and the proceed•
ings of the Abolitionists. Capt. %411.1.1A51

G. /Isom appointed Secretary.
After a few remarks by the lion. NVm. Mc.
Clean,.Rev. C. G. McLean, Dr. Schmucker, T.
Stevens,Esq. and others, the following pream

to those passed at the meeting of the citizens of
New York, were unanimously adopted;
Wheress,exertions are making by Abiilirion

of slavery and all the evil 4 which attend it, we
dissent from the obligation and fea,ibility of
immedihte em , sicip.;tiory.
And, in particular, we dissent from the in
discriminate condemnation of all those alio
sitstsin the relaiimi of masers to slaves, as he
ing equally guilty, whether that relation is a
pait of their inkier tAnce wider ex.sting laws, or
has proceeded from their voluntary; conduct.
We thus dissent, becaii.e such condemnation
implies that the relation is in all cases neces•:r
rmly immoral, which we are by no means prepar
ed to cone, de; believing, as we den, that the re
lation msy exist without the fault of either of
the parties, and against the will of noel, and may
impose ou each peculiar obligations; and appre•
bending that this relation in the southern sales
would oot make it the duty of the citizens of
other states to interfere with it, even if there
were nothing in the constitution and laws (Attie
union incompatible with their interference; Sc
that to interfere, in opposition to the cons ill►
tion and laws, on the ground of morality or of
abstract right,would be to proceed upon an as
sumption which, if sanctioned, would equally
justify an interference with any and all other
civil, social and personal relations —Therelio e ,
Re: , olved, That while we miiint iin the right.
of private judgment, and of free discns•ion on
this as on other subjects, as recognised in the
con , titution and laws, and subject always to a
strict regard to the just rights of our •outhern
brethren,we hold that the citizens of the north
have no political right to interfere with the sla
very of the southern states, nor moral right un
der a•iy circumstances, to adopt violent or ag
gressive mu a urea for tlin purpose of a'Jolisli
ing it.
Resolved, That a legal, peaceful and temper
ate expression of opinions and arguments,tend
ing to induce the partizans to the relation of
slavery to perform their moral and social duties,
is all that can with propriety be done by indi
viduals who do not siistaili that relation; and,
that we regard the sending of abol.tion publi
cations to the slaveholding States, except to
white citizens, as a gross infringement of the
rights of those States, and as tending either to
insurrection on the part of the slaves, or to
greater severity on the part of the masters, or
to both. 0
Resolved. That we view with deep indignation
the interference of foreign ernmissaries in a mat
ter so intimately connected with nor social and
civil relations, and that if, in spite of argument
011 ii entreaty, they shall per.i•t in such interfe
rence, we recommend a resort to such consti
totiontil legislation as may melt the exigency of
the case, and remove the evil.
Reared:That we shall regarl with deep re
grel the continuance of the excitement at the
south, so far as it may be oPcasioned by the ap
prehension of citnger from tiro exertions of a few
misguided abolitionists, because it implies too
little confi knee in the rectitude and patriotism
of the citizens, generally at the north, and inch
cater too little reliance on the efficiency of the
laws.
Resolved, That we are not unmindful bf the
con.titutiunal obligation of the citizens of this
union fur mutual defence and protection, cis well
as in the case of domestic violence, as of foreign
force; and however we may lament the neces
sity that, in the formation of our government,
recognized as la arid the condition of slavery in
the southern states, and however ardently we
might hail the day, when they may be able and
willing is abolish it; till then, and while this con
stitution endures, we have no right to troin-cend
its provisions, and as we are fitly bound, so are
we ever ready to curry them into full effect.
Resolved, t h at we deprecate all riotous or vio
lent proceedings, all outrages on persons or
property, and every illegal interference with
the rights of citizens in the execution of sum
mary justice in any mode not sanctioned by law
—that moderation and lorbearance at the pres
ent time are peculiarly obligstory on all patties,
and that we earnestly recommend to the-minis
ters and professors of religion, the conductors
of the press, and all good citizen+, to avoid all (oc
casions of excitement, and to endeavor to tram,•
woilize the public feeling.
Resolved, That these proceedings be published
in the neveml papers of the county.

RUMORED DEFALCATION AT ALBANY.-
The New York papers of Monday evening
Mato that rumors were rife in that city, mid
in Albany, of tho abstraction, from the Al
bany Commercial Bank, of a large amount
of money, by its Cashier, Mr. BARTOW, who
had absconded. The rumor sets the amount
of Money abstracted at various sums—from
one hundred and ten thousand dollars to two
hundred thousand. The New York com
mercial says that if there has been any fraud,
in connection with the business of the Bank
of America, as is also rumored, the Cashier
of the latter must have charged remittances
to the former which ho has pocketed instead
of remitting. Great commotion prevailed
in Wall street as well ,as in the whole city
of N. York.

Ctl - ,:r The ele-tion is past, and our cause--
the CHUFC Of V urrui: and I QUAL nicaers, has
been successful beyond our most sanguine
expectations. Jost:vit IturmAt's majority
ie larger than his most confident fiiends
hoped for. ‘Ve rejoice at it. But our joy
does not arise frc.in the success of men, and
the possession, by our party, of the vast pa
t ronage of this great Commonwealth. Ye
have no other joy than what arises froM the
triumph of Anli,illasonic principles. If, in
the end, it should appear that Anti-Masonry
has gained nothing by the victory--if the
Lodge shall still be permitted to live, mid
breathe and work its secret wickedness, then
shall we have toiled and triumphed in vain.
We trust that all who have fought under the
itner banner will, in good faith, embrace
A nti•Masonry. It will be idle to hope to
perpetuate our poWer ithout a harmonious
party. . As mere allies, we can never retain
the ascendancy. We hope to see a distinct
A nti• Nlasonic press and party in every Coun

It is a cause, of ‘vbich all should feel proud,
and which all must admit to be efficient.
KrThe untrammelled Whigs of Phila
delphia, Chester and Bucks deserve great
credit for their honest votes at the late dee
/
tion. Why w'll they not now abandon the
Lodge to it fine, and be Anti-Masons in
name as I cy are in deed? The Masonic
Whigs .every where went for Wolf. We
tru-t. they will remain distinct from their
frce brethren and join the Van Buren party
at once. Let us have but two parties—the
Anti• Masonic and the Masonic Van Buren
parties.
The leading Whigs of Franklin, under
the guidianee of that bitter Mason, Harper,
supported . Woll. We rejoice at the deliett
of their county ticket. The Masonic
Whigs in this county and Cumbei land fol
lowed the same course. But the honest
country Whigs would not follow their cable

them. Let those Whigs who opposed us

One Term.—Numerous enquiries by
private letters, and otherwise, have been
made of as, whether Gen. Harrison's inten
tion to sutler himself to he made a candi
date for reelection, should he succeed in
the ensuing Presidential contest.
Repented conversations with General
Harrison, upon the subject, enable us to
say without equivocatttm, that no circum
stances whatever would induce him to serve
for a longer period than a single term; and
we pledge ourself to our contemporaries
and the public, that should the people confer
the high honor upon the General of placing
him in the Presidential Chair, he will nev.
er be found recreant to the principles on
which he is elected.

The 11
- DEATH OF Tlfl RON. WM. T. BARRY.--:-
The condition of. Maj. BAnitv's health, as
represented by previous advices, from
Europe, prepared the public mind, for the
metafictions , event which has since taken
place. The packet from England, which
arrived yesterday, brought letters, we learn,
announcing his death.
NEW MINISTER TO SPAIN.—A letter
from Washington, says the Journal of Com
merce, dated the 12th inst. mentions that
Major EATON will be appointed hlinister to
Spain, if he desires it; and, if he doeS not,
thht Mr. Gm. M. DALLts, will have the op
point ment. The letter adds; "With regard
to the French Indemnity, I believe (entre
nous) that the difficulty will not be settled
by Gen. Jackson's Administration. The
question must be left open in order to kill
old White by attacking his vote in reference
to the appropriation. I do believe they
would sacrifice the whole nation to put down
any mart standing in Van Buren's way."
THE DIFFiERLTY WITT! FEANCE.—The
following language occurs in the leading
editorial of the Washington Globe, of Sat
(inlay: "Is the controversy with France
settled? We believe net. The French
Chambers, in appropriating the indemnity,
required explanations. Dues Judge White
know how tar the suggestion of Mr. Clay,
that further negotiation and explanations
would be necessary to smooth over the diffi•
citify which he ascribed to the message, and
the support he received in the lust act of the
Senate, may have operated in producing the
proviso in the Indemnity Bill? Does Judge
White believe that the President will make
further explanations? Ile cannot."
SPIRIT OF Olllo.—Since the decicnsio
ofJudge M'Lean the People of ytyr_
moving in masses for Gen. Harrisein:' The
late meeting of the citizens of Ross County,
at Chillicothe, was distinguished, above all
forme' assemblages, for its numbers and en
thusiasm. The immense multitude was cal
led to order by the Hon. Mr. Creighton,
Member of Congress from that District, by
whom Gen. Duncan
. 11,GArthur, the. late
Governor of Ohio, and a gallant officer du-
ring the late War, was chosen President.
'The meeting approved of a call for a State
Convention on the 22d of Fehruary,-to form
an Electoral Ticket, The resolutions and
Address, speak the true language of Free
men, and were adopted by acclamation.
Mn. JOHN HoltNea.—The newspapers
appear to be a good deal in the fog as to Air.
'John S. Horner," lately appointed Gover
nor of i lichigan. A Maryland . pa per seems
particularly beclouded, and asks with con
siderable earnestness—"did any body ever
hear of John S. Horner before?" and the edi
tor adds, that said Horner's neighbors in the
county of. Culpeper were as much astota:th.
ed at the appointment, as if the Wolverines
had descended upon their tobacco patches.
We freely acknowledge our ignorance as to
the biography of the new functionary, but
our early reading enables us to recollect d
passage that may possibly throw some light
on the subject. The acting Governor may,
aught we know, be the veritable
"Little Jack Horner who sat in the corner,
Eating his Christmas pie;
Who put in his thumb and hauled out a plum,
Saying what a great-man am I "
DEATH BY Firm—We have, in the
Charlestown (Va) Free Press, another fatal
evidence of
. the impropeeety of leaving small
children exposed, even for a few minutes,
in a room where they can have access to
fire. A little daughter of Mr. George Ran
dell, of that vicinity, aged about two years,
was left Ibra short time in the care of a
larger child, while the mother was absent,
and by approaching too near,
.its clothes
took fire, and when she returned, site found
the child so dreadfully burned; that it sur
vived the injury but a couple of hours.

WONDERFUL TENACITY OF VEGETABLE
IS stated in a late London paper,
that a bulbous root found in the hand of a
mummy which was brought from Egypt
short time since, and where it had probably .
remained for the last two thousand years,
g rew as vigorously and readily on being
placed in the grouod, lib it would have done
bud it not been taken from the soil more
than a twelvemonth.
WEST MANUFACTURES—The St Louis
Republican says, that the paper now used
for that pintos from a manufactory in Boone
county, in that State, and in point of quality,
will bear a comparison With any that is man
ufactured west of the Alleghanies. This
fact speaks volumes for the enterprising spirit
of the - west, and gives assurance that the
people in that quarter, have adopted the true
course, in obtaining. their domestic manu
factures; a course that will eventuate in their
prosperity and independence.

JUDGE MCLEAN.-=—The Columbp..(kmm)
State Journal of Friday,
.Vcises Some re.
marks vindicatory of Judge APLean's• re
cent course in regard to the Presidency, in
the following terms. Cortainlyohe ground
assumed for his futyre Fr regard to
party politics, is that which Ralibk.
say only, bcconieg a high judieiattiVipl.o
of the Onion:
"We have spoken of Judge
not
as
regards the past. %Ve pretend not to know
what may be his course as regards the fu
ture. .We would presume, however, that it
will be, as heretofore--above--aloof from
—unmixed with—and uncontaminated by,
the party hunt and partisan broils of the
day."
NOBLE EXAMPLE OF TRUE RELIGION.--
At a recent fire in the town ofAuch, France,
a woman and a child were seen at a win
dow in the second story of a burning house,
imploring aid from the multitude assembled
without—the hewer part of the house was
ally in flames, and 'not oven the thrilling
shrieks of these wretched victims could in
duce any one to venture to their succour.
At this moment arrived on the spot the yen-,
erahle Archbishop of the Diocese; who
after offering immense rewards to tempt
some fitter person to the enterprize, under
took •it himself. Enveloping himself in a
wet sheet, he rushed through the fire, arid
succeeded in rescuing both, at the expense
of but slight injury.—Georgetown Alaropo

A STra.—The New Hampshire States
man says, that the Canadian Government
have declared their intention of possessing
themselves of the Win n Stream 1 erritory
on the Northern confines of New Hamp
shire, although the tract has been tinder the
jurisdiction of that state 20 years, mid it
was agreed it should so remain, until the
Maduwasco question w a s s eitl i l. Much
excitement existed on the subject. The
inhabitants had rebelled against Now Ham
shire, while the British authorities sustain
ed then► in their opposition.
The Favannith Georgian in noticing the
proposed Abolition Convention of Utica,
publishes a full list of the persons who sign
ed the call and observes:
"The feeling with us ngaitrt these ene
mies of our country must, it not stilled by
Northern interference, increase, until it
sweeps the miscreants from the earth. Fif

THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT.— We
hayo often heard this commandment spokes
(And repeated, 6 Let every man mind his
own business," but never, until lately, did we
hear of a different one, and which for its
goodness we transfer to our columns, to.
17ether with the circumstances which gave
rise to it. In a debate in the Virginia.
Legislature, a member remarked that Mr.
Madison's resolutions of MO ought to be
received as the political Bible of this coun
try, which occasioned the following reply:
"The gentleman hoped that the country had
not yet arrived at such a state of moral tur
pitude and degradation, as to recognize any
other standard of morals, than that to be
found in the scriptures of the Old and New
Testalnents, and epitomized in the deca
logue; but ilpermitted without presumption
or profanity, lie would say that, taking bur
political relations into view, there ought to
be an Oeyenth commandmCnt in these words:
"'Thou shalt not, nor shall thy wife, thy
son or daughter, thy man servant or thy
maid servant, the stranger or so journer
within the gates, dare in any wise to men
tion or hint at a dissolution of the Union!"
EX•SITERIFF PARKINS. --The New York
Herald, of a I,ste dale, contains a loyg ac
count of the -'ups and downs" of Ex-Sheriff
Parkins. is stated, that after a life of hair
breadth escapes, striking, iucidents, and droll
adventnres, he - came to this country a few
years since, possessed of at least $150,000
in his own and his banker'S hands in Lon
. don. He brought with him about $35,000,
and for several years travelled every where,
and mingled in every class of society. He
was finally induced to speculate in property
at Buf1;11o, and Its immediate vicinity, and
according to the Herald's account, was swin
dled, in a genteel Way, out of $45,000.
Shortly alter, the great banking house in
which Rowland Stephenson was a partner
failed,—and h i ere, again, Parkins suffered to
an immense amount. He then commenced
abusing the world, and every body in it, and
was soon prosecuted by a number of persons
for slander; and without a shilling in his
purse, and no likelihood of ever receiving a
cent, he now lhigers in New York jail, on
account ofjudgments obtained against him
to the amount at 810,500. if variety is the
very spice of life, the Ex-Sheriff has no rea
son to complain. He should write his bio
graphy—something might be made of it.
The French are getting up a new gag-law
for the press—almost as bad as the Princi
ple adopted lately by our own worthy Post
Master General. Almost, we say, for re
ally it hassome redeeming qualities: There,
when a paper has passed the ordeal of the
day, and has received the sanction of soave
half dozen censors, it is permitted topes
to any quarter of the nutlet), unmelestei”
far as their diligence can carry it: W
with Os according to the creed adopted, get
ting a paper into the mail is but a small part
of e matter: It has then to undergo I t tto
inspection, and receive the sanction of any
or all of the 8 or 10,000 post masters—or
is to be checked in its course, and perhaps
thrown aside, or burnt, and no one but the
conscientious P. M., who does the deed, is
any the wiser. The publisher haS done his
duty, and imagines that all is right, until in
formed by the complaints of distant patrons
that something is rotten. He looks around
for the roue: but as all the movements of
the Post Office department are conducted
with the secrecy of a cloister; he is compel
led to give up the chase as hopeless
with all its odiousness, we look upon the sys
tem adopted in l~ rani, as infinitely superi
or to that originated in republican America.
The evils of the one are scum-of the other
they are felt, but unseen.
