Mr: Adams has addressed the following let
ter to the Committee of an •Anti-Masonie Conven
tion lately held , Hanover.—
# Q,UINCY, 'Oct. 21,1839.
Gerrncusx.—l have received with een•
timenta of grateful sensibility, the copy of
the resolutions of the Convention held at
Hanover on the 18th inst. relating to 'my
self, and communicated to me by you.—
Conscious of the favorable indulgence with
which. the Convention has been pleased to
estimate my services as the representaive
of the 12th Congressional district of the
Cmtimonwealth, in the Congress of the Uni
ted States, am sensible that the only per.
tion of that approbation which they have be
stowed to which can have a just claim, is
that which regards the honesty of intention,
and the assiduity of industry. 1 receive it
AS a testimonial of the kindness which has
been extended to me by the Convention and
their constituents, and with a confirmed
resolution to adhere, as long as I shall re
main to public life, to those principles upon
.which I have hitherto discharged the trust
committed to me by them. With regard
to the resolutions referring to the election
of a President of the United States, it may
be proper for me to say, that the only con
tingency upon which I may be required to
take a part in it, would be the failure of a
choice, by the electoral colleges, thereby
devolving it upon the House of Representa
tives, in which event, entertaining a respec
table opinion of all the candidates whose
names may be returned to the Rouse, my
vote would be given in favor of him whom
I shall have reason to believe most accepta.
ble' a majority of my constituents, the
people of the 12th Congressional district of
illassachusetts.
I am with great respect, Gentlemen, your
friend and fellow citixen,

Penntvivania Lyceum.
A leading object of the Pennsylvania
Lyceum, is to developo the mineral and
other natural resources of the State. With
that view, numerous collections of miner
als, plants, shells and specimens of other
productions, both of nature and art, have
been made by numerous Lyceums in coun
ties, townships, schools and families, in
nearly every section of the commonwealth.
By these collections a new era has com•
mixed in schools, and much useful knowl• .
edge has been diffused among all classes
and ages of the community.
Still to advance a cause so well begun,
the subscribers as agents of the Pennsyl
vania Lyceum, invite the attention of the
citizens of the State to the following propo
, sitions.
First, To township, borough or neigh.
borhood meetings in all sections of the
state, for the purpose of bringing together
specimens of such ores, coals, marbles,
rocks, or other minerals, as may be found
in their respectiie districts; said meetings
to be held as soon as practicable, if possible
as early as the third Saturday of November
next.
Second, To county meetings, for the
purpose of forming or enlarging COUNTY
ennmeTs, from the specimens which may
be collected at the meetings above propos
ed, and from such•as may be in the posses
sion of individuals, Specimens may be
carried to, said county meetings for procur
ing their names, for depositing in the coun
ty cabinet, for a State Cabinet or for the
use of the State Lyceum, to be used at their
discretion. If such county meetings could
be held as early as the third or fourth Sat
urday of November, they would aid in the
accomplishment of the next proposition..
Third, We- take the liberty respectfuly
to invite the present members of the Legis
lature of this State to bring to Harrisburg
on their assembling the first week of De
cember, such specimens of minerals and
other productions as they may procure from
the collections made at the meetings just
proposed, or otherwise, and as they may
find convenient.and expedient, for exchang
es with each other, for a State cabinet and
otherwise for the use of the Pennsylvania
Lyceum.
.
Fourth, To all County Lyueums not al
ready supplied, sets of fifty er sixty speci
mens will be furnished gratuitously from
the State Lyceum, on application to the
State Librarian at Harrisburg. Any ten
corresponding members of the State Lyee
um, any two honorary Members or any one
patron may be furnislied gratuitously with
a set of not less than fitly labeled specimens
of minerals, for the use of social or family
Lyceums, on application to John Simmons,
Philadelphia, Coriesponding Secretary o
that Society, or to the subscribers at liar
risburgany time during the month of De
•cember next.
Note.—The payment of one dollar an
nually constitutes n corresponding member;
five dollars at any one time and one dollar
annuallyafterwards constitutes an honorary
member; and twenty dollars a patron.

DCATiI FROM PASSION.—William Thom.
as fell and died instantly at Portland, a few
days•since, while engaged in angry altarea•
tion with his wife. • .
The follcrning extract triune recent publication
by the -Venerable American Lexicographer, de
serves the attention of the Public, and especially
of the newspaper press:
"The preSs, when judicially managed,
Is one of the greatest blessings of a civili
zed people; when abused, it is the most pow
erful instrument of mischief. Probably no
civil privilege in this country is so much
perverted and abused. In no country is .
reputation held so cheap. Slander, like the
scythe of death, levels "worth and distinc•
tion; the press one of the noblest instru
ments of improvement, is converted into an
instrument of deception, and the means of
making citizens hate and oppress each
other. The moral effect of this abuse is la
mentable, for it seems to have become a
ruling belief of partisans thnt a man has a
right to defame those who differ from him
in opinion.
"If such is to be permanently the effect
of popular elections, we shall pay dear for
the privilege in the loss -nf morals. At
present, no reputation is safe. especially that
of a man in public life, or one who appears•
before the Public for the mosflaudable par
pr se. The scrambling for office keeps the
public mind in continual agitation; genera
ting evil passions and enmities among citi
zens, who, even when they are wrong in
their opinions, are entitled to the enjoyment
of their reputation and their social rights.
What a.noble improvement in oar public
prints shall we witness, when facts shall be
carefully collected, judicially selected, and
fairly published, without conjectural infer
ence; and when principles shall bo discuss.
ed with ability and candor, without assailing
character and motives.
NOAH WEBSTER."
IFlay are we- Right Iliandert.
Sir Charles Bell on this subject observes:,
—"That for the convenience of life, and to
make us prompt and dexterious, it is evident
that there ought to be no hesitation which
hand is to be used, o 1 which foot to be put
forward; and that there is indeed no such
indeeiSion: Is this taught us? Or is it from
nature?"
There is distinction, he says, in the right
side of the body; and the left side is weaker
both as to muscular power and its constitu•
tional properties. The developement of
the organs of motions and action, he adds,
is greatest on the right side, as may be pro
ved by admeasurement, or by the tailor and
shoemaker. This superiority may be said
to result from the more frequent use of the
right hand? It has been said children aro
taught by parents and nurses to use their
right hand: but not always it is believed.—
Besides, this peculiarity is constitutional ;
disease attacks the left side and members
more frequently than the right. In walking
behind a person we seldom see an equalized
motion of the body; and we may observe the
step with the left foot is not so firm as with
the right, that the toe is not so much turned
out in the left, and that a - greater push is
made with it. • From the form of females,
and the elasticity of their step, resulting
more from the ankle than the hip, the defect
of the left foot is still more apparent. We do
not see children hop on the left foot. May
it not be concluded, then, that every thing
(in the convenience of life) being adapted to
the right hand, is not arbitrary, but is owing
to a natural endowment of the body, thatt ho
right hand is more strong and better fitted
for action? We conclude therefore, that
the preference for using the right hand
rather than the left, is not the effect of habit
merely, nor adventious, but is a provision of
naldre. This theory is not indeed univer
sally received. The skilful anatomist alone
can decide. If there are peculiar properties
or mechanism to justify the opinion, it affords
a new proof of the wise and benevolent design
in the "Former of our bodies," and of our
being 'wonderfully made."
REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—David
Thompson, an old soldier who fought eighty
years ago•at the siege of Fort William Hen
ry, when it surrendred to the French un
der Moutcalm, died lately at N. H., at the
age of 100 years. His grand-mother was
Mary Haughton, who died in 1708, aged
ane hundred and five. It is related of her
by the Lowell Courier, that at the sinking
of Port Royal, in Jamica, by an earthquake,
she clung to the sill of her house, floated
away on it, and whs taken off by a vessel
safe, when all but three of the inhabitants
of that ill fated town perished in the ruins.
Several years had elapsed after the disas
ter when there came to a tavern in Dorches
ter N. H., where she served as a waiting
woman, a traveller, whom she instantly re
cognised as her husband. He was at sea
when their house was sunk, and had never
before received tidings of her.
Farts.—A very destructive fire occurred
at NEWARK. N. J. on Friday night. The
loss is estimated at 6160,000—560,000 in
sured, principally in New York.
ROBERT ReLsTopt.—Every body knows
that Robert Ralston was the father of the
"Philadelphia Bible Society"—the first in
stitution of ihe kind established on this con
tinent, which would have been the "Amer
ican Bible Society," if the Cliristians of
New York and New England had then pos
sessed sufficient courage and zeal to have
met his ardent desires and exert ions in com
mencing the blessed work. The concep
tion had its origin in his mind, and his ex
ertions and influence collected together in
his own house, the late venerabte Bishop
White, called from his labors so recently
before him, the late Dr. Rush, Dr. Green,
and others to the number of thirty-four,
who there established the institution.. Bish
op White was its first, and has been its only
president, and Mr. Ralston was its first and
only treasurer.
At a meeting ,of the . Philadelphia Bible
Society, Rev. Ashbel Green, D. D., LL.
D., was unanimously elected Prorsident of
the Society, vacant by the death of the ven
erable Bishop White; and Jacob Lex,
Treatirer, in the place . of the late Robert
Ralston, Esq.

From the Baltimore Transcript.
Late from &Mexico.
By the arrival ofihe Schooner Emperor,
on the 14th inst. from Matanzas, Tampico
advice" from the above places to the 30th,
and from the city of %lezico to the 13th ult.,
have been received at Now Orleans.
Captain Cormier, of the Creole, reports
that news had been received at Tampico,
that 6000 men were on the march from the
city of Mexico for St. L. de Potosi, where
they were to be joined by the 1500 tha.
have been under training at Tampico.
Numerous volunteer,coHpanies are said
to be gathering from.various parts of the
country, so that the Mexican army will pre
sent a formidable force. The whole coun
try is represented by Capt. C. as being
unanimous in the prosecution of tho mar,
which is the engrossing topic.
The Bee; however, states that verbal in.
formation by the Emperor, represents the
whole army to be but about 1500, it havint ,
been reduced to that number by sickness
and desertion. Among them, distress, dis
satisfaction, and insubordination exist.
Capt. Rantford and crew, of the schr.
Indian, came. passengers in the Creole.--
The Indian had been seized and condemned
at Tampico, fir hnving more than the per
mitted quantity of stores on board: —the
Mexicans were fitting it out as a vessel of
war against Texas. The schr. Henrietta,
Capt. Harris, had been seized fin. the same
reason, and was expected to be condemned
and used fur the same purpose. The schr.
Cora, of New Orleans, had also been seized
at Metamoras.
Gen Felisola had published a pamphlet
of 82 pages, addressed to the Government,
in defence of his conduct and 'that of Urrea,
in the expedition which resulted in the cap
ture of Santa Anna.
The people were making voluntary con.
tributions to carry on the war against Tex-
as; but these were so small as to afford but
little nid.
Ti* Mexican Congress was discussing
the question of admitting Spanish vessels in
the severalports, as proposed by D. Gouda.
loupe Victoria, formerly Vice President.
The consideration of this law was refer
red to the committee of interior relations :
no report had yet been made by them.
A convoy left Mexico on the 22d August
under the conducta of Col• Francisco Ga
my, transporting the munitions, the linen
and military stores of the army against
Texas.
The message of the President of U. S.
relative to the question of the acknowledge
ment of the independence of Texas seemed
to have made great impression in Mexico, if
we are to judge from the editorial articles
in the official paper.
From the Louisville (Ky.) Journal, we
learn that R. A. FEnnusoN, Esq. Secreta
ry to the Executive of Texas, arrived in
that city en the 22d ult. and report the po•
sition of the Texian arms as above; and
that of the Mexican, at Metamoras, as at
our previous accounts. The vote of the
Texinns,'at their recent election, is repre
sented to' have been unanimous for a union
of that republic with the United States The
person named PAGES, who had endeavored
to effect the escape of Santa Anna, had
been tried and acquitted before the civil
court, on a charge of high treason, but had
afterwards been tried by a court Martial, as
a spy, and sentenced to be shot, which sen
tence had been forthwith carried into exe
cution.

SUICIDE IN THE ARMY.- ft is stated in
the Charleston Courier of the 26th ult. that
Lieut. Col. LANE committed suicide at
Fort Drane on the 10th ult. by putting the
hilt of hie sword on the ground and running
the point-through the corner of his eye into
the brain. No cause assigned. This is
the gentleman who was engaged in the fra

A LANGUAGE THAT HAS NEVER CHANGED.
—Of all the languages of the earth, that of
the Hungarian and Transylvania Magyars
is said to be the only one which has survived
unchanged amidst the changes of political
connections, conquests, commerce and arts.
That extraordinary people have maintained
their original language,their manners and
their usage, unaltered in the very heart of
despotism, neither deriving improvements
from the high civilization of the Germans,
nor debasing novelties from the Slavonians.
The colonists who have from time to time
settled in Hungary the victors who have
traversed its fields, and the nixed nations
on its borders, have all failed to inoculate
the language of the Magyars with a foreign
taint.
CANTON, Ohio, October 27.
RODBERY.—Last week a man with a
large family, removing I rom Centre county,
Pa. had his wagon robbed of about $2BOO
in notes and silver, in Columbiana county.
A few days after, 2 men, from Pittsburgh,
were apprehended at the race ground near
Canton, a part of the money found on them
and $2400 found secreted by them in a
stable. The money was identified,and alter

DISPATCII.—We were yesterday; says
the New York , Gazette, an eye witness to u
specimen of dispatch, which, had it not fall.
en under our own inspection,we should have
been sceptical in believing. It was the
operation, at the Fair of the American In.
stitute, of reducing wheat, in straw, to hak.
ed bread in ten minutes. The process was
as fullnws:—Twelve bundles °lst raw were
placed in a machine in the garden, which
came out threshed in a minute and a half;
the winnowing was effected in a minute; the
grinding and belting occupied a minute and
a half; the dough 'WWI kneaded and the
cake 3 formed in two minutes. The whole
contents of !he twelve bundles were placed
in a kitchen range and came out thoroughly
baked in four minutes; making, in the
whole, fen ricirietes. The cakes were dis
tributed round, and they only wanted the
aid of a cooler, and a few pounds of Goshen
butter, to have been swallowed in another
minute, without the-std of mastication.
There is now' living at Chatham, England.

the garments with her own bands.
UNPARALLELED SPEED.-It is stated in
the Boston Gazette that the locomotive
Taunton, on the Taunton Branch Rail

FRUITFULNESS OF Nuris.--Colonel Stone,
in his late account of the Hotel Dieu Nun•
nery, enters into a very interesting calcula
tion—founded on Maria Monk's statements,
—of the number of children which each of
the lovely sisterhood must give birth to per
annum—that is, each of them who, in the
'natural course of human events,' is capable
of becoming a mother. And how many;
gentle reader, think you it is? Why, by
the book, just two and a half children a
year ! •
This, reckoning from the age of 15 to 45,
would make a, pretty round number for
each of the sisters; no less during the. thirty
years than seventy-five children! W hat a
numerous family they would raise up in the
Hotel Dieu Nunnery, were it not for the
foul murders regularly committed on the
innocents, as recorded by Maria Monk!

HORRID HEATHEN RITEB.—The Niche•

entrance of the Bay of Bengal. The natives
are cannibals and are described by Nava.;
rette, the historian, as being almost black,
with red hair, which he naturally observes
is very remarkable: They have no notion
of God, but firmly believe in the devil, and
worship him from fear.
The most dideous of their ceremonies,says
the writer, is an annual feast of the dead.—
They dig the skulls out of all the graves, a
stake being planted in each, exactly over the
head of the corpse to show where it lies.
This office is performed by the women who
are nearest kin to the deceased; they scrape
off the flesh, if it be not consumed, wash the ,
bones with the milk of fresh cocoa nuts, and
rub them with saffron: they then wrap the
scull in new cloth, replace it in the grive,
and replant the stake, which is hung with.
trappings in honor of the dead. The whore
night is spent in these horrid rites; intite:
morning they sacrifice hogs, and srntitf.'
themselves with the blood, and some among
them eat the flesh raw.

' ' To the Readers and Patrons of the Star
Reirublican Banner.
The important election on which so much
depended, is now over; and Adams county, at
least, has nobly done her duty, and contributed
her full share towards redeeming the disgrace of
the 11th of October last. Wo confess ourself
highly gratified by this result: not simply on ac
count of our preference for the individuals elected,
but because of the triumph of principle which
, their election involves.
During the last few weeks, we have had a stir
ring and exciting time; and our columns were of
necessity almost exclusively occupied with the
discussion of the topics connected with the late
election. This was right. Consistently with our
sense of duty, it could not be otherwise: But the
contest is now over—the battle has been fought—
the issue is decided; the tomahawk of party strife
is now, for a time at least, buried—and the scalp
ingtknife of faction reposes harmless in its sheath.
From the stern scenes of contention, wo cheerfully
turn to a brighter and a milder prospect; and whilst
party bickerings cease, and party animosities are
buried in oblivion, we look forward with' pleasure
to the period when, without sacrificing duty, we
con give up a larger share of our columns to Lit
' crature and General Intelligence.
• Here is ground which all may occupy; and
. :where the only strife to be encountered, is that
Of MIND with MIND, and INTELLECT with INTEL
LECT. To such a pleasing contention, a reasona
ble portion of our columns will be henceforth open
ed and devoted; and we cordially invite all who
Are disposed, to enter the arena.
It is our wish to render our paper useful and
pleasing, not only to the politician, but to the
general news-monger, the lovers of polite litera
ture, and, in a word, as far as practicable, to every
plass of our readers.
In pursuit of this object, we have zealously la
- 1.
bored now for six years and upwards—with how
r much success, the steady augmentation of our sub
scription list satisfactorily attests. To those who
have given us their aid and counsel, we return our
sincere thanks; to those who may have felt them
selves, aggrieved, we have only to disclaim any
intentional wrong whilst, for the desertion of the
one or two who have, in the indulgence of an idle
pet, esiiselessly abandoned, maligned and betrayed
us, we must only turn for consolation to the ?awnr
mew nurses who have stepped into their places.
Our efforts to PLEASE, to tws:rauer and to
shall continue, as heretofore, to be bestow
..l4Sl on our patrons, and the public with unflagging
zeal; and we confidently look to them for co.oper
atien and a generous support. We have never
yet been deceived in any just reliance on the high
‘./ninded citizens of Adams; and wo know we never
•41i11. A faithful adherencyco principle, and a
)slothful discharge t f duty,will ever secure TUEI
approbation.
oTho present number of our paper is sent to
all those who subscribed a few weeks since until
after the Presidential election. In doing so, our
purpose is twofold—that of giving thorn the result
of that election in Adams; and to invite as many
as choose to continue as permanent subscribers.—
We presume that Postmasters, as it would be to
the interest of their offices, will cheerfully inform
neer the willingness of such as would wish to
tirttirtue the Star.

The new English Lutheran Church in this
place was consecrated on Sunday last, by the
Rev. Dr. SCIIMUCKER, assisted by Prof. MIAOW!,
and Rev. Mr. LOCII3LAN, of York- It is supposed
that there were about 600 persona in the house
during the exercises.
The Election.
(0 -The election on Friday last has re-establish
ed Anti-Masonv in Adams county, which our neg
ligence hatl : •iniffered, for a moment, to be over
thrown. We have discovered that base frauds
were practised upon the voters at the October elec
tion, by substituting Masonic for Anti-Masonic
tickets! This was easily practised in the eager
ness of the Sheriff's election. But the exultation
of the Lodge—their bonfires and processions, arous
ed the indignation of our old Anti-Masons, and
they have again triumphed!
Cheering Mews from all parte of the State:
ci-The Nullifiers will be unable to work their
destructive purposes, and our liberties, we believe
will still be safe. It is yet uncertain which party
't
has a majority in the• Convention; but it is pretty
zir ?
Certain that the Dallas Nullifiers have not!
After the excitement of the election shall have
• passed, we hope to see immediate steps taken to
re-organize the pure Anti-Masonic party. How
ever the State has gone, it is quite certain that
had Harrison been nominated in a National Con
vention, he would have carried the .- { ate by 20,-
000. We hope corrupt ambition will be admon
ished, and never again attempt to deceive the peo
ple.
oc , Phlladelphia city deserves great credit for
chewing the estimation in which she held the au
thor-of the vile doctrines promulgated just before
the election. GrOAGS M. DALLAS, who was a
candidate for the Convention, has been defeated
by a majority against him of 2,939 voice! $o
much for nullification.

FOREIGN WHEAT.—The quantity of for-
eign wheat imported into this port is not,
we believe, at present known, although
there are three vessels laden with foreign
corn now lying in our rivers. The quantity
imported to Baltimore during the past
month, was 43,408 bushels; and by the re•
turns it appers that 163,408 bushels have
been imported into that city during the
present year.—New York Transcript.
The Detroit Free Press of the 18th in
stant, states that during the ten days -tn
which the land office at lona was open,
8156,327 were received; of which amount
81,326 were in gold and silver.
FRE WULNEBB.—There are many per.
sons who mean well, who mar all the good
they intend doing by their fretfulness. Ev
ery thing that goes wrong disturbs their
feelings, arid thus they are ever giving way
to the indulgence of tempers which brings
their professions into ridicule. The Chris
turn is as much bound to maintain an even
temper, as he is to pray. .He should never
forger the necessity for setting a good ex.
ample to all around him.
VOLTAM E'S GRAVE. --.A Protestant

"ONWARDS fRE WORD, AND ON I
Aye, but the pathway is thorny, perils sur
round us at every step, and the onward pro
gress which we attempt to make, in many
instances turns out to be but a retrograde
movement. The plans which we undertake
with so much pomp and noise, and to which
we look forward with such heartfelt satis
faction, confident of a happy issue, how of
ten are they but the forerunners of prostrate
fortunes, of dissappointment and grief, of
deep and abiding sorrow. Years may have
been spent an maturing our plans for execu
tion—years of long•suffering and earnest
reflection,—our best energies may have
been employed upon them—our dearest
hopes may have been centered in them,—'
yet before our career has heen half finished,
we see that we have miscalculated our
strength, that we have wasted our powers
in vain, and we are doomed to see our fond
anticipations dissipated like the mist of the
morning before the bright and all-prevading
sunbeam. We bend down to earth beneath
the weight of sorrow and disappointment,
and we seem to feel as if the dream of hope
were past. From the _moment that the
light of trnth flashes upon us, we droop like
a trodden flower, and grovelling in the
depths of dark despondency, murmur at the
adverse circumstances which have made us
what we aro, and curse our bitter fortune
—forgetting that "the gloomiest day is not
all gloom," and that the energies whtch we
misdirected in our first pursuit, if properly
directed now, may lead to fortune and to
happiness. Then let "onward" be the
word: let disappointment be but an incentive
to exertion; and the goal , will yet be won,
however thorny and upropitious the path
way to it.--Columbia Spy.
RICE Irt JAVA.—The Batavian Journals
coritain a very long report on the measures
taken within the last two years for extend
ing the cultivation of Rice in Java. From
this it results that since 1831, there have
been brought into this cultivation 25,000
parcels of land of 5000 square ells each to
which there will be shortly added 67,000
parcels. In 1833 the aggregate quantity
of these settlements in produce was 1,100,-
000 Fulas of wet rice, and 250,000 of dry
Rice. Of these fields 34,000 are now em
ployed for the cultivation of Sugar and In
digo, but they will be greatly more than
replaced - by the quantity of land drained for
the growth of Rice.
SILK WORMS AND BALLOONS.--Ii is cal

is calculated that the new balloon

POLITICAL PUNS.—The Cavaliers, du•
ring Cromwell's usurpations usually put a

A Royalist Divine, during the Protecto•

was onwaf,_the great objects or II WA
Ilea die's Library* to "make good reading cheaper,
and to brilfg literthare to every man's door." That
object has been iccomplithed; we have given to books
wings,and'they'have flown to. the uttermost parts of
our vast continent,carrying society to the seeluded,oc
ermation to the literary, information to all. We now
propose still further to reduce prices, and render the
ccesas'tn a literary banquet more than twofold access
ble ; we gave and c 4 ntinoe to give in the quarto li
brary a volume weekly for two cents a day; we now
propose to give a volume in the same period for less
thanfour cents a week, nod to add as a piquant sea
soning to the dish a few columns of shorter literary
matters,and aeon:unary of the news and events of the
day. We know by experience and calculation that
we can go still further in the matterof reduction,and
sve feel that there is still verge enough for us to aim
at offering to ati.incecasing literary appetite that men
tal food which it craves. •
The Select Circulating' Library, now as ever so
great a favorite,,wlll coutinue to make its weekly vi
sits,and to be issued in a form for Mailing and preacr-
Teflon, and its price and form rill remain the same.
Rut we aball,in the first week in J",:tnnary,issue &huge
'sheet eche size of the largest newspapers of Atneli
ca,but ths;slry superior paper. also filled with books
of the newest and most entertaining, though in their
several departments of Novels, Tales, Voyages,Tra
vels,&e., select in their character, joined with read
ing such as usually should fill a weekly newspaper.
By this method we hope to accomplish a great good;
to enliven and enlighten the family eirole,and to give
to it,at an expense whioh shall be no consideration to
auy,a mass of reading that in book form would alarm
the 'rackets of the prudent, and to do it in a manner
that the most sceptical shall acknowledge "the pow
er of concentration can no farther go." No book which
app . ears Waldie's Quarto Library WO be publish
ed-us the Ichenibus, w Web will be an entirely distinct
periodical. . .
TERMS.— Waldie's Literary Omnibus will be is.
Sued every Friday morning, printed on paper of a
quolity superior to any other weekly ihset,and of the•
largest size. It will oontain
let. Books.the newest and the best that can be pro
cured, equal every week to a London duodecimo vo
lume, embracing Novels, Travels, Memoirs, - Sce. and
only chargeable with newspaper postage.,
2d. Literary Reviews, Tales, Sketches, notices of
books,and in,ormation from "the world of letters," of
every description.
3d. The news of the week concentrated to a small
compass, but in sufficient amount to embrace a know
ledge of the principal events,political and miscellane
ous, of Europe and America.
The price will be two dollars to clubs of five sub
scribers where the paper is forwarded to °Headdress.
To clubs of two individuals, five dollars; single mail
sobscribers,th rim dollars. The discount on nneurrent
money will be charged to the remitter; the low price
and superior paper absolutely prohibit paying a die-'
count.
On no condition , will a copy ever be sent until the
payment is received in advance'.
As the arrangements for the prosecution of this great
literary undertaking are all made, and the propnetor
has redeemed all his pledges to a generous public for
many years, no fear of the non-fulfilment of the con
tract can be felt. The Omnibus will be regularly is
sued, and will contain in a year reading matter equal
in amount to two volumes of Ree's Cyclopedia, for the
small sum mentioned above.

subscriber, at the last Session, and.although
commenced at a late day withnut previnutt
notice, the encouragement extended to it,
by men.of all parties, exceeded . hts expecte
tions; yet it , was not sufficient to meet its
expense by a large sum. With a belief
that sufficient patronage may be °Wail:lid
to secure the publisher from loss, while he
confers a favor upon the public, the subscri
ber proposes to publish again a Daily Pa..
per, during the Session, provided a sufficient'
patronage be extended to defray theexpemle.
As its publication will depend pionthe pa. ,

PROCEEDINGS OIL THE LEGISLATURE.
THERE having been et no time within
the recollection of the eubscriber,a - precisely
correct and impartial synopsis given of the
Legislative proceedings in both Hoieses;
and there being considerable anxiety mani
fested on this account throughout the state,
the editor of this paper has,made arrange.
ments for giving full, fair and yet succinct
accounts of all the sayings and doings:„ in
that body, the coming session. This prep
aration has been considered the more ne
cessary, inasmuch, as the next Legislature ,‘
will be an unusually interesting one. This
because, the two elective branches or the
Government are 'different in coMplexion (in
a political point of view,) and both differ
from the Executive branch of the Govern
ment—such a state of things has not (mein
red for many years, if ever, in Pennsylvania.
There will be, therefore, clashings of inter
eats, and conflictions in opinions.
The CHRONICLE is now printed on new
type, and contains one third more reading
matter than has been heretofore presented*
to its, readers; and is now area the largest ,
(there being but one equal in size,) papers
published in this place. . Along with the
Legislative proceedingswill be given regu
larly the proceedings of Congress and all
other matters that may prove interesting.
TERMS; This paper will, as heretofore
be published twice a week during the Ses
sion of the Legislature, and once a week
during the remainder of the year, on a fine
double medium sheet and new type, at Elk
per annum, payable in advance. For ihe
session alone $2 in advance. For six months
iocluding thelleasion of the Legislature $2-
50 in advance, No subscriber can discos.
tinue his paper until all arrearages are paid. -
ICPAny person forwarding five names
as subscribers shall have a copy of the
Chronicle one year gratis.
