I was a Mason about the beginning , of the year 1826, took three degrees and attended the lodge pretty punctually, for three or four years. Since that I have rrox. BEET? in a Lodge, and I Dp NOT Intend to go again; ; and so little do I know about it, that I could not obtain admission now upon examination. So far as I know, our Lodge has not met for the last six or seven years. ' and according to the rules of Masonry , has forfeited its charter, and we have forfeited our standing as Masons,though I have no knowledge that the forfeiture has been enforced. Of my own knowledge, I know nothing of the enormities so confidently charged up on Masons; though the EVIDENCE of their MIS ER NDUCT And .CRIMES in .some cou t.. • ,and in some parts of our own conntry, 0 i ANDS BELIEF. I Na y= DID and so far as I know the opinions of Masons,with whom I acted, THEY NEVER DID, suppose that their obligationa, as Ma isone,could bodrawn into conflict with,much less, supersede their obligations as citizens. This rendered me slow to believe the accu sations,and, I believe yet, that many of them were exaggerated; but ENOUGH has been PROVED to satisfy my mind, that in our age and country, Masonry IS NOT RE QUIRED; and that tho PEACE OF SO CIETY SHOULD NOT BE RISKED IN ITS SUPPORT. JAMES MERRILL. From the Friond of Man. -The Tenure of our Righte.'—.Printerel:- Look at this!!! 11:7 "Contrary to the (college ofa majority ofour citizens:" So said the self-constituted DICTA TORS of the press in Cincinnati, in respect to the existence of Mr. Birney's Philan thropist in that city. Therefore (boy re solved it should be put down by lawless violence. And it was put down; and Mr. Bimey's exercise of his inalienable and con stitutional rights under these circumstances, is set down as the blame worthy cause of the out-rages ' Without stopping to enquire into the truth ofthe statement made by the dictators, which is unimportant; nor into the mean ing, which is equivocal, let us just see how the principle here assumed will operate, when it comes to be the established doctrine - of our country. A majority of the citizens of New York city are, perhaps, presumed to be Van Buren men. And soli public meeting of that party, (without waiting for the leave of a majority of the citizens by any formal vote—or of the people of the state, by any legal enactment) proceed to appoint a committee, and wait On the Whig editors, and call upon them to cease publishing any more papers. If they are so "fool-hardy" as to persevere, then the majority, with the Mayor at their head,may throw theirprinting presses into the Hudson, and trample down the type in the streets.— Then they may hold another meeting, and deprecate mobs, and throw the blame on the refractory editors and publishers as the cause of all their troubles! - In Boston , the Whigs, perhaps, have the majority, and there, they may treat the Van Buren papers in the same manner! In anotherirlice,. a majority are grieved be caueetin Universalist has established a pa priiift In another a majority are decidedly opposed to having a Presbyterian, or a Bap. tiet, or a Methodist paper, printed in the city or village and so they may severally be suppreseed in the same manner. iVho would wish to live in such a court. try?

We 4liet to wonder at our forefathers; we talk wisely of the dark ales we marvel' at the histories of persecutions, and boast the march of liberal principles/ But where are we? The Quakers "outraged the feel. ings of the majority," and,for their obstinacy were hung! The Puritans in England did the same, and were obliged to leave their country. The Reformers, the Apostles, the Prophets; nay, the Savior of the world himself, did the same, and suffered martyr. dom. The principle avowed by the public meeting at Cincinnati will throw the blame of all these bloody transactions—not upon the persecutors—but upon their victims! -..........-. FROM TILE SOUTH AND TEXAS. By the steamboat Kentucky from Nor folk, we have received the Charleston Cou rier of the 26th inst. in which we find the subjoined intelligence. The Texans, it ap pears, arc resolved to act on the offensive, end it is not improbable from appearances, that the war in that country may present the anomlaous spectacle of an army raised for the purpose of invading a rebellious pro. vince,flying, over its own territoryfram be fore a vastly inferior force of the insurgents. The contract for the removal of the Creeks,is taken by the "Alabama Emigrat ing Company," at 828 50 a head. A par ty of 30U were to start between the 20th and 25th inst.; the remainder in 60 days—the contract is deemed advantageous to Govern ment. A meeting of Officers and privates in the Florida Campaign, was held at Charleston on the 22d inst. so express their Reprobation of the conduct of Gen. Gates during the campaign, and to solicit the President U. S. to restore him to his rank. A company of volunteers encountered a party of Creek Indians, near the Florida line, killed ten warriors and took eight wo men and children prisoners. A squaw, mother of several of the children, to release them from captivity poisoned them, and made her escape. Col. Wood, of Randolph, (Ga.) with 39 men, encountered a party of Indians, on the 2d inst., and in "fair fight" killed 27 war riors—the rest fled, first strangling the chil dren they could not. carry, by stuffing their mouths and nostrils with mud moss. Intelligence from Key West states, that a vessel commanded by a Spaniard and an American, recently touched at Indian Key, full of negroes, supposed to have been re ceived from the Seminoles in exchange for ammunition. .The elections in Louisiana are over—the Van Burenites have a majority of two in the Howie—the Anti-Van Burenitesa majority of seven in the Senate.

If Van Buren is a democrat, Aaron Burr is a patriot. If a . democrat is one who wants to tyranize over the people, and to deprive them of their rights, then is Van Buren a first rate democrat "dyed in the wool." Read the extract from his speech in the New York Convention in to•day's paper. It affords the most positive proof that ho was in favor of depriving poor men of the right of voting—the best right they possess. It is presumptuous and insulting, in the extreme, to attempt to pass him otil upon the people as a democrat. He is not a good counterfeit. We moat solemnly affirm that he has never done a single public act, in all his life, which was prompted by a friendship for the people. So far from this, 'he is, we candidly believe, as haughty an aristocrat as there is in Union. Asevidence of this, we cite the facts that he prefers the nobility of England to the democracy of his own country—that he has an English coach and an English driver, and that he was in' favor of depriving his own poor country men of the right of voting. Democrats! read the extract—mark what Van Buren says of the poor—bear in mind that be—the haughty little aristocrat held them as unfit to mingle their votes with those of the rich—and remember that old Tippe canoe has always been your friend of equal rights, and the firm and zealous opposer of aristocratical distinctions in society—that he is a plain republican farmer, and that, should he be elevated to the Presidency, he will administer the Government upon true democratic principles, so as to promote the welfare of the people, and to shield them from oppression. He will stand by them against aristocracy.—Richmond Whig. Mn. VAN BuREN ' s LETTER.—We per ceive that many of the papers arc indulging their readers with long articles, explaining and combating Mr. Van Buren's letter to the Hon. S. IVilliams, of Kentucky. This we considery perfectly unnecessary. For the substance of the letter we refer our readers to Gen. Jackson's various messages, and for its refutation to the answers to ditto. It is a mere echo of the opinions of the "nauch-injured public servants," as the President to be calls the President that is. According to this letter, Van Buren is now commuted as anti-distribution, anti-Clay's land bill, anti-clearing-out-rivers-above• ports-ogentry, anti-bank, philo speciecur rency, and an expun g er. And that is all about it. Character of Orarfin Iluz Buren. • The Hun. Samuel McKean, in a letter to the Montrose (Pa.) Register, dated Septem ber 15th, 1832, thus spoke ofthe "Goveim- NEXT CANDIDAIE:" ”My peroonal respect for the President, and the connexion (unfortunate, I must call it, both for the country - and General Jack son) which recently_ existed between him and Mr. Van Buren, has hitherto deterred me, in some measure, from speaking of the latter as I think he deserves. The unspar ingbitterriess ofhisformgr opposition to Gen. Jackson, continued until every hope of suc ceeil was blatited by the firmness of Penn sylvania, argues but little -in favor of the sincerity and patriotism of his late fawning professions to say nothing of their grossness and servility. Situated as I am, when at home, on the confines of the State of New York, and I aving been personally intimate with many of Mr. Van Sun's partisans, few individuals have had better opportunities than myself of marking tits political manceu vres for the last twenty years, during which time he has exhibited all the powers and qualities with regard to. politics, of the chameleon, assuming every hue and color which his ambitious purposes, in view ofthe exigencies of the moment,seemed to require. To speak plainly, I know him to he void Of political integrity, and roost of those high qualities of the mind, which, wherever they may be found, I humbly trust no minor oifferences in matters of human opinion will ever prevent me from duly acknowledging or yielding a just respect. Cunning, and a certain species of popular talent, he indeed possesses; but these only render him the more dangerous in times of public excite ,ment and illusion. When he first entered General Jackson's cabinet, I expressed my serious misgivings of the result,-to Judge McLean, (teen Postmaster General) and others; and the ntiscl•iefs which I-then ap• prehended hays been more than verified.— His whole course has been thatof a political disorganizer,wheneVer, tt could promote his selfish schemes. Party arrangements, and even the sacred ties or personal friendship, have both by turns been coldly sacrificed upon the altar of his insatiate ambition." President JACKSON was met, on his recent journey homeward, by a committee of citi zens of Nashville, about thirty five miles from that city, where he was addressed in form and at great length by GEo. W. CA3IP. BELL, Esq. chairman of the committee.— Tne same George W. Cambell, Esq. whose name has become familiar to the "Ainericari people" as the honored correspondent to whom was addressed, in days of yore, the celebrated "Dinsmore letter." The Presi dent replied to the address from his old cor respondent at almost equal length—his res ponse, as given in the Nashville Union, oc cupying about two columns of that paper. We have given this reply a hasty perusal, and we may observe that the only thing we have met with in it, in any wise remarkable is the substantial retraction of the farmer liberal doctrine, as set forth in the Jotters to President MoNitoE. against the "monster party," and the assertion, though not in so many words, that "to the VICTORS belong the spoils OF. OFFICE." 'Thus thoroughly has the old Hero become imbued with the doctrines of the Albany . Regency!. NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.—The act majority of Gen. DUDLEY, the Whig candidate for Governor of North,Carohna, is now ascertained to be 5,007. The change in North Carolina is really "a caution" to "push in boots," and all other pretenders. At the Presidential election in 1832, the Jackson party in North Carolina voted about 25,000; and the Anti• Jackson party fess than -5,000 votes, being five to ono in favor of the former. Behold now the change, in four short years, in consequence of the at tempt to force the Kinderhook statesman upon the Jackson party. At the election of August, 1836, at which about 35,000 votes have been polled, the Whig candidate for Governor has a majority of 50001 Such a change in the same period of time,is almost without a parallel, even in these changeful times, and must - bo truly ominous to the cause of the Favorite.—Galt.

VAN BUREN. 18 44 Senators, 29 Representatives, 55 From the Portland Advertiser. DETROIT, August 11, 1836. SIR-I have seen published in the "Balti more Chronicle," the "extract of a letter from Ohio," pretending to Om an account of a rencontre (which if true would be dis graceful to a gentleman) between a general Boynton of Ohio, and myself, in the streets of Detroit. I need not say to you, I trust, that this alleged atiiiir as stated by your letterwriter, is a base fabrication: an im position upon your credulity as the conduc tor ofa public journal,and merits the severest ! reprobation. No such occurrence has ever taken place, neither have I the honour of having ever before heard the name of "gene- ral Boynton of Ohio." I . would not under ordinary circumstances, attach importance to a publication of this character; but as there are personal considerations connected with this, I have to request, if consistent with your obligations as an editor, • the name of your Ohio correspondent. You have the assurance that nothing offensive is intended in the tone of this letter, and that your early answer will oblige. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, STEVENS T. MASON. To the editor. of the Portland Advertiser. [As an act of justice to govenor Mason, we publish this letter, and will add that the extract which we publish was taken from a letter from general Boynton, of Amherst, Ohio, to a friend• of his residing in this city.] —Portland Advertiser. The Clerk's Office of the United States Court at Clarksburg, Va. was partially con sumed by fire on the night of the 12th inst. evidently the work ,of an incendiary, who aimed at the destruction of the papers, and unfortunately succeeded. The shutter was bored so as to withdraw the fastenings, and the fire was thence thrown upon some valua ble papers close at hand. In remarking upon thiSfirwat Clarksburg, the Wheeling Tunes says, it is another edition, on a limit ed scale, of the attempt to burn the treasury buildings "Extensive frauds had been committed on the treasury by pension agents, through forged papers. Suspicions had been aroused, prosecutions entered, and the documents were on file in the clerk's office. Fire was the resort of the guilty to conceal the evidence against them, - and - they have succeeded thus far; but rptributive justice will yet overtake them. The loss of indi viduals from the destruction of valuable papers has been great, and w%" learn that a deep excitement pervades tile community there." INDIAN sluttnctis Iv Mrssoni.—The St. Loiis (Miss.) Bulletin, of July I'th, states that the bodies of two men had been found dead in a harvest field near Grand River; also three women, all murdered by the Indians. Several children _ also have been carried off. Several volunteer com• panics of the State have been called out by an order of the adjutant general, dated city of Jefferson, June 28. • One buttdred dollars damages have been obtained by Al r.

CANALS.—The numbed • of .boats which pulsed through the lock 'three miles west of Schenectady, from the opening of the navigation up to the Ist of August, was 11,781, The number last year was largetil by 775. In the meantime, however, di: tolls have exceeded $33,000. There he:', been an increase in the quantity of merchari• drze cleared at Albany, of 3893 tons.— There has also been an increase in the quantity °Mut' arrived at Albany,of 57,2 , 38 burrels; of lumber, 10,700,000 feet; of wheat 115,000 bushels; of pork, 3,400 barrels; of beef, 33,403 barrels; ofashee, 6,847 barrels; of wool, 182,000 pounds; of butter, cheese and lard, 350,000 pounds; of flax and grass seeds, 200,000 pounds; of hops, 30,000 pounds; pig iron, '220,000 pounds; bar and pig lead, nearly 100,000 lbs. &c. CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.—We learn from the 'Williamsport Banner, that the Board of Directora of the Chesapeake ane Ohio Canal Company, returned to that place on Wednesday last from their explo ration. westward, and proceeded thence, on the same day, in the Canal packet, for tho District. The Board propose to renew their visit in that quarter, in October next. The Banner states that the work now under contract on the lino of the Canal, is pro• gressing favorably. There had been thus far it appears. some.difficulty on account of scarcity of hands, but the influx expected with the approach of cool weather will do away that difficulty. Thus far the health of the operatives on the canal line had been uninterrupted.—Ball. Pat. LUMBERMAN'S BANK.—The Warren (Pa.) Bulletin contradicts the rumor, that the Lumberman's Bank, in that borough, was a sufferer by the failure of 11r. Rathbun. It gives the assurance that this is not tho case. Conn.—The apprehension of a scarcity of this artinle, which prevails to so great a degree abroad, .is probably, says the Potts t title' Miners' Journal, without foundation. The apprehension has arisen from the nu• merous paragraphs in the newspapers of our large cities, sounding the alarm, and spreading panic throughout all classes of the community. To increase this feeling it was confiden•ly stated that the supply was falling short by 200,000 tons. Those who knew nothing on the subject readily believ. ed this statement. At the very limo this , rumor was put in Circulation, the supply had increased and was rapidly increasing, insomuch that it was then,generally thought that the increase of the present year, would amount to one hundred thousand tons at least.- Nothing has subsequently occurred to weaken this opinion, but much to confirm it. The supply will probably amount to 70,600 tons, an increase of about 150,000 over last year's supply. OMITTING TOO MINCII.-A green, good natured, money-making, up-country Jona than, who said every thingdrily, "got things fixed,". and struck up a bargain for matri mony; having no particular regard for ap pearance 9, the parties agreed to employ a green-horn country justice to put on' the tackling.

The brightest ray of light during seven years of political darkness." MADISON, Indiana, August 24 We have come across some letters writ• ton by a gentleman who recently passed through our State and some portions of the South and West. They are the first we have seen in which our town has been so handsomely noticed. The writer is, no doubt, a man of keen, observation, and can discern advantageous localities with a quick eye. It is strange, but nevertheless true, that our town, though amongst the largest and most important, is less known abroad than almost ally other in the State. 'Tis t his that sui prises strangers so mucli, when they first behold it. '['hey are astonished that a town so large and flourishing, should never have been heard of by them. They land at our wharf, and they find it graded and paved for a long distance, to the water's edge. They come up in town, and they find large brick three•story warehouses and dry goods' stores, where a heavy retail and wholesale business is done—they look at our dwellings, and they see them neat and lofty Without, and well furnished within, and they hear the well•tobed piano sending forth its dulcet strains, from almost every curtained window—they look at our streets, and they sce them straight and level, graded and gravelled, from end to end—they see our large and splendid churches, our Bunking house, and other buildings, which for taste and elegance, would adorn a larger city— ' they see our streets thronged with enterpris ing people, arrayed in the fashions of the cities. And many other things they see, which only increase their astonishment that such a place could grow up and attain its present magnitude without being as famed abroad as its enterprise deserves.—Banner. THE DOCTORS AND APOTHECARIES IN DANGER.—Dr. DRAPER, of Clinton HaII,N. Y. has opened a battery upon the medical profession, and eschews all the present thee , ries. The New York Times says that he lectured on the "nature, cure, and philoso. phy of Intemperance," on Monday week last.

The valleys wero literally filled with the torrents, and Cumber:and river beloW that section rose suddenly 25 feet in two hours. SALE OF A WlFE.—Recently in New York, according to the Sun, an Englishman named Jones, led his wife to the horse . market,and offered her for sale. 11 , alleged that he was very poor, and that the sale of his wile was necessary to provide memo: for rescuing their children from starvation.— lie was somewhat surprised when he was told that such things were nut tolerated here, and said it was often done in Englaiid, even against tho consent of the wife; and as Mrs. Jones had acceded to the measure for the sake of her starving little ones, he appeared to think it particularly hard that it ci , ul:l not be done in this country. Some of the bystanders commistierating the situation of the poor cour.le,r4is.ed a handsome subscrip. tion on the spot for:their immediate relief. Jones stated that ha had been transported to this country by the parish authorities of Bristol,' by whom he had been maintained , fo , several months, a white sTelling on his I ) leg having disabled him from labour.

Our Seminary at Gettysburgh. - Me. horrors.--It has doubtless been with feelings of delight, that every friend and , well-wisher of the" Lutheran church has read those letters of Professor Sehmucker giving an account of his into agency in be. half of the Seminary. Such success in so good u cause ought certainly to call both our warmest thanks and praise to God, who has put it into the hearts of his people to come to our assistance so timely and liber ally. Yea does not our worthy agent, who • has labored so disinterestedly, sell:denying le, and yet so succesSfully—und do not those benefactors, (chiefly strangers!) who have so freely and liberally opened their hands and purses—de not they all deserve our heartfelt thanks? For one, I never felt as though I could more fully adopt the•lan guage of the Psalmist and say, '.Bless the Lord, 0 my soul; and all that is within me bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, 0, my soul, and forget not all his benefits!"-- But as Lutheraus,it ought not only to excite our gratitude., but should give a new impulse to all our benevolent operations—it should make us all more liberal, more zealous, and more active in promoting the interests of our beloved Zion. Ar.d Ido believe that, as a general matter, it will have this effect. But from my intercourse with different parts of the church, and especially with my own people; I find that, there is one thing which,under present circumstances,operates unfavorably upon our Seminary. It is the simple yet important fact that no satisfacto ry report of the financial concerns of that Institution has ever been made to the church. Now there has at different times been a great deal of money subscribed and paid to wards that Seminary; and of course the per sons who gave it are anxious to know how it has been applied. On this subject they have never been satisfied. True they know in general, (and if any of them know it not, we rejoice to be able to tell - them) that much, an incalculable amount of good has been accomplished by means of that Institu tion. They know that during the ten years of its operations, it has raised up and sent out something like seventy ministers of our church who are for the most part zealously and successfully engaged in their Master's work. They know that two professorships, (though I believe the second one is not quite complete,) have been established with a capital often thousand dollars each. They know that some six or eight acres of land - have been purchased, on which two houses for the professors, and a splendid Seminary edifice (whose dimensions, if our recollec= tions are correct, are one hunchtd by forty feet, and four stories high,) have been erec ted. They must of course also know that such buildings would cost a fine sum of mo ney; but how much has actually been ex pended upon them, what debt there is yet on them, and what is wanting to complete the second professorship, is not known. Now we ask whether the Directors of that Insti tution could more successfully promote its interests than by publishing a full and com- • plete statement of/a/And especially itsfinan cial concerns? I have heard some persons say, who have already been liberal towards it,that if its real condition and wants were made known they would be ready to give more than ever; but as no statement how its funds have been applied had ever been made, they felt some reluctance in doing so. I am persuaded that such feelings and senti ments are general, and hence information on this subject seems to be imperiously demand. ed.

And us I have my pen in hand I may us well drop a word as to the importance of full and correct reports from some of our other societies. Nothing conduces more to the healthy and successful operations of any institution' or society than complete, impar tial, and timely reports. Our "Parent Ed ucation Society," and our "Central Mission- ary Society" have now been an operation one year, and I do hope the pauper persons will not fail to present us, officially, with satis factory and cheering reports. The meet ings of the Trustees of our College; of the Directors of our Seminary, and of our differ ent Synods wall be suitable times to attend to these matters. Let.all, - therefore, pre pare themselves. "Ile that doeth truth cometh to thd light that iti4 d-eds may be tondo manifest that thuy'are wrought in God." A men. 'COFFEE saTrnEn.--A waggish gentleman in New York, a day or two since, stopped at a store Thr the purpose of buying a pair of boots. The store-keeper showed him a pair of the Yankee manufileture.

AS the Masonic Party will make i- - ' 4 -!:* use of desperate means to effect the election of those pledged to repeal the present law chartering the U. S. Bank as a State Institution, by which the State Taxes have been REPEALED, the POOR MAN'S CHILDREN EDUCATED, and our Rail Roads, Canals, and Improvements being made and completed without resorting to burthensome taxation, we deem :t right that CORRECT INFORM ATION should be sent to the door of every Poor Man, Tax- Payer and Friend of Pennsylvania Rights— Pennsylvania Interests—we shall, therefore, send the STAR .from this time until after the October and November elections to those who are not regular subscribers at the low price of TWENTY-FIVE CENTS in ad vance.

Those of our subscribers who promis ed us Wood, will oblige us by delivering i Krlt is with much regret that we are cdmpelled to call so often upon delinquent subscribers for money, but to enable us to meet our engagements, we are obliged to do so. We are greatly in need of money, and would feel under obligations to such as have paid us little or nothing for the paper, if they will come forward and make settle ment. If they do so as soon as convenient, we will be saved the disagreeable necessity of trausforing their accounts to those press ing us for money. Our Ticket—The Convention. (1:,-Of our County ticket nothing need be said, as there will be very little opposition to it. The nullifiers, who are mad enough to declare all titles to land and charters void, are so few in Adams county, as to be objects of contempt. Fanny Wright had better come here, and give them a little encour. agement! The nomination of delegates to the Con• veution was, wisely we think, postponed.— As Senatorial delegates we have heard mentioned the names of C. B. PENROSE, D. MIDDLECOFF, JAMES WILSON, JACOB CAS• sarr, and several others, all good men.-- We believe it is generally understood that Mr. Penrose will be one of the candidates. A better selection could not be made. His splendid talents, went legal knowledge, sound constitutional views, and firmness of purpose well qualify him for that important trust. The doctrine of the Jacobins is a• laming; but the people will seal their fate at the election. Pure Anti-Masonry—the Supremacy of the Laws, will finally tri umph. The vile disorganizing principles held by the Van Buren, revolutionary, gag law party is driving all decent men from its ranks. OZ - The Elarrishurgh "Pirate" is mista ken. We certainly never can be expected to hold a controversy with a Renegade from Justice! A man ii generally known by the company he keeps; and if he finds that ho has been duped into bad company, self-re. - spect will lend him immediately . to "cut" such company and "be o 111" tic therefore cannot blame us, if we refuse to associate with those who fled from their native homes for protection from the laws of their country! The Editor of the Pirate will understand us. D I SGRACF.FUL CONDUCT! It lies been always an established rule of tho respectable society or Dunkera, at their mootinge, to extend their invitation s fin rorroaliment to all who aro assembled upon such occaaions. At a late meeting, within a few miles or this place, tho usual invitation was given; and wo regret to state, from infioniation given us, that the conduct of some yOung men, not belonging to the socioty, was entirely unbecoming, and woundin g to the feelings of the society.

Mote than 15 columns of the Washington Globe are filled with a mere summary of the ap propriation 9 made by the General Govern ment at the last session.

De ducting these two sums, the amount appro. priated is 833,866,71,8 71.—Jour. Com. TAKING TIIE REINS.—The Baltimore Chronicle says—During the last session o Congress, Gen. JacksOn,upon one occasion, made a visit to the capitol, in Mr. Van Bu- ren's buggy—the Vice President acting as -charioteer. When about to return, Mr. Van Buren was detained a few moments be hind the General, in adjusting something that had got out of order, about the harness. The General, ofcourse,held the rems,whilst the Vice President was thus engag ed. As the littln man was about to resume his place alongside his patron, and just as the Presi dent was handing him the ribbons, Mr. Clay passed by, in company with another Sena tor—Looking up nt the Vice President,with an arch smile, an expressive gesture of the arm, and in a voice to be heard all round,he exclaimed, "Taking the reins, I see, sir?" TEXAS LANDS.—Large numbers of Tex inn land warrants have been sold in New Orleans at 81 50 per acre, and lands al ready, located have brought £5 per acre. Adams County.—The Anti-Mas - ons of Adams county have nominated TnAn- DEUS STEVENS, Esq. Dr. GEORGE L. FAUSS as their candidates for Assembly. Of Mr. Stevens it is unnecessary for us to speak. He is known wherever Anti• M asonry is known, as an able and zealous labo rer in the cause of the people, and is worthy of the support of the Anti-Masonic party of Adams county. We have differed with Mr. Stevens in relation to the Presidency we yet think that his-course in the Harris burg Convention was impolitic and calcula ted to injure our cause—but we are at al times ready to give him credit for the ser vices which he has rendered to Anti-Ma sonry, and to concede to him the possession of talents ofa high order. again selecting him as their_ representative, the citizens of Adams county have manifested a proper regard for their own welfive, for no man could have defended their interests with more zeal and ability than Mr. Stevens.-- It is to his exertions alone that they are in debted for the great Rail Road which is to connect them with the far west on thfl one side and the cities of the Atlantic on the other. In Dr. GEORGE L. FAuss, those of our citizens who visited the seat of Government during the last winter will recognize the modest and unassuming, yet fi iithful .and capable Assistant Cler of the House of Representatives. The zealous manner in which he performed the arduous duties of his office, and the willingness with which he at all times sacrificed his own personal comfort to oblige a member, gained for him many warm and sincere friends in that Leidy; and when ill health—the consequence of too close an application to his desk—drove him home, there was not a member who did not regret his loss—not ono who did not unite in the wish for his recovery. We are glad to see his merits properly appreciated at home, and feel satisfied that, if his healti be fully restored, he will make an, industv ous and useful representative. Adams coun ty has acted wisely in putting forth her hes , men as candidates for the House of Rep• resentatives. The station is ono of more mportance than is generally imagined CAPT. B. L. E. BONNEVILLE of the U. S. Army returned to this city on Sunday morn ing from a tour to the Rocky Mountains, where he has been (with the exception of a few months) for the last five years.

Yet it is the conclusion to which most learned men who have examined the subject, have been led. Their reason for thinking bo is that the word Adam, in He brew, signafies red. Adam, (man)—ada mah (ground or earl h)--adorn (red)—Edon: (the father of the Edomims) are all derived from the verb adam (to be red.)--lad.Dent.
