Well, thank Heaven, the election is over—
the' turbulence of party feud, and party strife, is
fat • time ended—the fervidness of party zeal is
for the present concluded, and the Book of 'Fete
is about to unfurl to us that formidable leaf which
tell the tidings which we have so long, with
so much anxiety, endeavored to aseertaire—the
concussion of the political elements has token
place; the thunder of party clamor is hushed, and
the lightning of party bickering]; has ceased to
flash, and the day is near at hand when we will
be told who is to rule the destinies of this great,
this glorious Republic for the coming four years.
And now is the consoling moment for the politi
cian, who assumed an active 'participation in the
recent campaign, to repair to the peaceful shade s
.
of blob:ammo*, and there repose his weary limbs
in quiescent slumber and felicity—limbs rendered
weary by the unusual ardor and obstreperousness
of the late protracted political campaign.
'king as the Presidential election has eventua
ted, and to the success of which of the different
eanclulates it has resulted is not yet known, and
indeed cannot with any, apparent truth be presag
ed, it now behoves the Anti-Masons of Pennsyl
vania in particular, to keep on the armor, of de
fence,Jo look to the purity of their principles with
renewed vigilance, and the welfare of the patty
with double anxiety and concern. The Presiden
tial campaign has been one of remarkable violence,
heat, clamor and contention, in which the Anti.:
Masonic party in general participated, during
which they truly did not pay that attention to the
prirtapka of Anli-3lasonry they formerly did.—
And it is a truth which cannot be denied, that
Ihey have not for some time past looked to the main
tain' awe and advancement of the anadulieratcd
prima - p&p of Anti-Masonry with that vigilance,
that zest and anxiety, and it may be appropriately
said, that holy vehemence they so essentially re
quire—that they have not evinced a sufficiently
ardent desire to promote the principles which the
original advocates of the party have so fearlessly
laid down to them—and the purity and laudable
ness of which have been so frequently realized to
them; and that they have not looked to the probity
and virtuousness of the sentinels whom they have
stationed on the watch-towers of their rights, their
principles, and their liberties, with requisite alert
ness and zeal. Whilst these assertions are made;
the humble writer does not wish to convoy the in
ference, that the Anti-Masonic party hare turned
mama to themselves and apostate to their coun
try's interest—which event Heaven forefendl—
but solely that they are relaxing in' their zeal to
promote the earscraes and -reeves of Anti-Ma
sonry, and axe becoming reckless of the party's
welfare- And he flatters of being capable to real
ise the truth of these assertions, which ho shall
endeavor to do in as concise and explicit a manner
as possilile.
It will be remembered, that it is, and always has
been, an established rule with the Anti-Masonic
party, as well as with all other parties, previous to
the nomination of candidates for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency of the United States, to as
semble in NATIONAL CONVNIPTION, and there,
with a full coincidence of a majority of that body,
select a candidate out of the various individuals
teconunended by public meetings and public jour
nals of the party, for that distinguished and re
sponsilie post. And it will also be remembered,
that last Spring, antecedent to Gen. Harrison's
nomination, it was the avowed intention of the
Anti-Masonic party to have Candidates for that
exalted station settled in National Convention as
sembled; and for the purpose of consummating or
eanying into effect this determination, selected
delegates to a State Convention which was; per
stint to public notice, to be held at Harrisburgh,
and those delegates were instructed by the people
to elect delegates to a National Convention, which
was subsequently to be held at Philadelphia, to
nominate canilidants for President and Vice Presi
dent. These delegates accordingly assembled at
Harvisburgh. And the natural inquiry would now
be, died these delegates when there assembled obey
this express mandate of the people! Did they,—
No--and echo answers ‘ , no!" No, they did not,
but on the contrary diametrically violated the peo
ples codas. They went in direct contravention
to the express will of the patty.—They pursued a
mune di eedy opposite to the injunction of their
conatituents. Instead of electing delegates to a
liattional ConceniC' m; as enjoined by the people,
assumed upon Lftexastlres the power of nomina
ting a man for the office of Chief Magistrate of
this Great Repubfic! Yes, however ridiculous the
reflection may be to the reflecting mind, it is Ilex
=useless nue, that a few delegates, resident of one
State, proved themselves so unequally assumptive
as to nominate a man for President of the whole
United States—thereby proving to the world that
it was to them an:atter of indifference whether the
man whom they mornmated would be elected or
not, by being regardless whether he would obtain
a nomination in the other States, exclusive of
which be never could have been elected! Yet it
is, nevertheless, true—paliuddy and notoriously
true!
Getz. W. IL Harrison, the individual moat spo
ken of for President previous to the assembling of
thaterammtion, was nominated, and presented to
the Democratic Anti-Masonic Party for their unan
imous suffrages. Some members of the Anti-Ma
sonic party gladly and eagerly proclaimed their
decided approbation of the nomination, and their
intention to support him, while others withheld
their support from him until a few weeks anterior
the election, and many others did not support
him at all—mahatainin . g a 661 neutrality between

opposition to Harrison solely on the ground of the

But I digress—to the definite point of the sub
ject Many, a great many Anti-Masons, and in
deed Anti-Masons in heart and in principle, while
they honestly, valiantly and seduously contended
for the elevation of Gen. Harrison to the Presi
dency, mixed with corrupt Whiggery, associated
and 'fought by the side of Whigs,—many of whom
are the mostitiplacable enemies of Anti-Masonry
—and thereby permitted their principles to become
somewhat corrupted; and also many pure Anti-
Masons beeame !era zealous in the advancement
of the principles of Anti-Mosonry; through the in- .
flume° of the bewildering Whirl or political vortex
in which they were placed, occasioned by the un
usual fervidity and protractedness of the cam
paign, that they almost forgot good old Anti-Ma
sonry, and even seemingly endeavored-to merge
Anti-Masonry into mere Harrisonism. • This was
Wrong, radically and egregriously• wrong, and
exhibited a total want of zeal in the established
principles of Anti-Masonry, and a deficiency in
vigilance for the sok maintenance of the party.
This was precisely the posture of the party
throughout the recently departed sunnuer; and it
is to be hoped that n similar feeling of unconcern
will never pervade the Anti-Masonic party us long
as it has nn existence.
It may be said that the'writer in actuated by a
'sprit and a desire to dismember and distract the
party by thus speaking against Gen. Harrison's
nomination. He would beg leave to remove such
'an impression from off the public mind,and would
wish all to understand, that he is actuated by the
utmost spirit of conciliation. Gen. Harrison is a
man whom he does and always did respect and
admire—whose eminent services to the country be
fully appreciates, and sincerely hopes that the day
is not far distant when he will be rewarded inn man
ner no as to amply suffice for his distinguished ser
vices; and that ho would be among the first and
the moat eager to procure for him a suitable . re
ward. But it is solely the manner in which he was
nominate], against which ho raises a disapproving
and a dissenting voice ; and, however late in the
season it may rationably seem to be to say aught
in relation to the subject, it is nevertheless appro
priate in this place. He would not have broached
the subject, had it not been necessary to prove

Therefore, as the Presidential election has ter
minated, it now becomes, as an essential duty,
every person who has hitherto or heretofore pro
fessed adhesion to the pure and laudable principles
of Anti-Masonry, to gird on anew the armor of
defence—to brush from off their loins the corrupt
dust concreted round about their safeguards and
their principles during the ardor of the recent
motley political excitement, and commence with
renewed zeal and vigor thii battle against corrup
tion, Misrule and profligacy—to commence 'with
renovated ardor their contention for the annihila

unfathonablo depths of eternal infamy—and but
let the Anti-Mrisens embrace it, and they will have
cause to exult over the reflection of their having
thus gloriously and patriotically given the death
blow to the existence of demoniac Masonry; and
thdy will perform a deed which will reflect bony

though still '
was .but little more extensive, than that of most
young men, innobgat us, of the same age; yet not
withstanding th 4, by diligent application these
men acquired an 4 mount of knowledge and infor
mation which given them an enviable pre
eminence as jurists, orators and statesmen. Ido
not anticipate for all even with the like amount of
diligence, the same trering intellectual pre-emi
nence; nor did I quote these examples, to show
that the way to like superiority is open to all, but
for the purpose of proving,. that men need nove
main in ignorance though the2cason of youth be
past.
I know that it is discouraging; 'when we have
reached the ago of manhood, to reflechltzt the orT
dinary and, perhaps, properest season of unßrovt.
went is past. But is it the part of a sensible iltaix
to despond—to resolve to continue in ignorance
because his early education was neglected, or be
cause some other to whom it belonged was unable
or unwilling, properly, to discharge his duty !
Would it not be wiser to resolve, that as.tho time
past was neglected, that the present and the future
shall be the more diligently improvedl To have
grown listless and desponding, because we were
not afforded early opportunities of improvement is
indicative of a feeble mind and one that was hardly
worth cultivation. The mind that had elasticity
and firmness enough to have given tp its posses
sor, by the advantage of early culture, a place
amongst those who have been useful to their
fellow men, will not be.cast down or detered from
the attempt to improve its powers, because its cul
tivation was for a while neglected. Such a mind
would rise with two-fold energy and by saving all
of the present, redeem the past that was lost.
But as I have before it is not for the
purpose of persuading the Farmer and Mechanic
to leave their present employments and embark in
professions, that I have reasoned in the foregoing
manner, but to show how much may be accom
plished, even after the season of youth has been
past,—and that the noble mind will not he con
tented in ignorance though its spring time were
neglected, but will mako.the greater exertions to
improie its summer.
Many of the present, acting generation had not
the advantages of early' education that are now af
forded to the young. It is therefore designed, as
far 'as it is practicable, to alTord them an opportu
nity of improving what is left of their time, by es
tablishing Societies for the diffusion of useful
knowledge. In this attempt, those who have felt
the want of early advantages must co-operate, if
they desire to profit. Through such societies,
much useful information may be conveyed; their
members may receive a competent knowledge of
many of the sciences, which will not only afford
gratification, but be of real and substantial value
to its possessors.
The very name of Science has detercd many
from attempting to make themselves acquainted
with principles that could be mastered in a very
short time by an ordinary mind. There are many
principles in•!he Science of Astronomy that may
be learned in an hour's attendance, upon a famil
iar lecture on this subject; but frightened by the
name, thousands live on from year to year in com
plete ignorance of the causes which produce much
of what is transpiring around them. The change
of the seasons; the vicissitudes of day and night;
the difference in the length of days; the changes of
the moon; eclipses of the sun and moon; rain and
hail; the rain-bow; the revolutiOn of the planets—
all these are seen and felt and wondered at, but
are not understood. Yet there arc none that would
not be able to comprehend all these by a few
hours of application and thought. These things
are all of intense interest, tupdisplaying the wis
dom and power of Providence and his bounty to
man. Man is inexcusable, if he lives in ignonutre
of these things when. knowledge is within his
reach.
Natural Bhilosphy is another Sicenee full of
usefulness, and many of its most important and
interesting principles are simple and easy of com
prehension; but it is "a word of learned length
and thundering sound," which like Astronomy has
prevented many from making an attempt to be
come acquainted with it principles and its uses;
they have
r looked upon it, as a study only to be
pursued in Academies and Colleges, under the di
rection of learned professors. But this is a mis
taken notion; the Farmer and Mechanic, may by
a little application, in a short time, become familiar
with many of its principles and derive from their
knowledge a gratification that would more than
ten times compensate for the labor of its acquisi
tion.
And what is there to prevent the working-man
from Making himself acquainted with History and
Chemistry? They depend upon none of the ab
struse branches of science; they stand apart by
themselves and may be acquired by any who will
read and think: And what mines of enjoyment
and gratification does not n knowledge of they
open up? From the former is learned the rise
and decline of nations; the gradual imprOvement of
our rice from a savage state to refinement; their
retrogradation from this last condition back to bar
barism; the causes which have produced their rise
and wrought their fall, and the signs which pro
ceed both. By it we travel through dead empires
and decaying nations, noting the already scattered
fragments of the former and the crumbling towers
of the latter. Then traversing some newer nation,
behold its power, its glory and its wealth, and be
come acquainted with the policy that has made it
what it is.
From Chemistry we learn the components of
substances, the simples of which they are com
posed and how these simples may be separated; a
knowledge, which is of vast importance in the
arts. From it we learn, of what the. atmosphere '
that surromms us is composed; what state of it is
noxious and what salubrious; the character and
components of our breath and our blood. It teach
es us the reason why the wood blazes that is pi-.
led upon our hearths; upon _what' Frinciples the
wick in the lamp, by. which we read, write or
work, is fed with-oil from below. All this is
useful an9ateresting to know, and all may be ac
quired ith little pains.
et us then make an effort, by the establish;
went of a Society in which these things shall be
taught, to acquaint ourselves with principles so
interesting awl useful.

It is hoped that the call for a County Meet
ing which is to take place on qj-SATURDAY
NEXT, will be well seconded by this.community
generally. The subject is one in which we arc all
personally interested. Principles are involved which
affect our dearest rights as men and as citizeng,and
our most solemn duties as Philanthropists and
Christians. Does any one sanction the enslave
ment of a single human being guiltless of any
crime? He has thus forged a fetter, which may be
fastened around his own limbs by some ruthless
hand to which might gives right—for that which
is done to his fellow-man, may be done to him.—
Let no one think that the matter is one with which
we, as citizens of a free State, have nothing to do.
Living under the present Constitution of the Uni
ted States, we may tO-Morrow be summoned to
shoulder our muskets, leave,our hinnes,and expose
our lives, whilst assisting to quell an insurrection
of the slaves in either of the States from which we
are divided.nceirely by an imaginary line.
Who does not know that the South is seated up
on a volcano which may at any time burst forth
in the fiercest flames—flames to be extinguished
oily by streams of blood? Shall we not exert our-
Selves to prevent this, the bare mention of which
sends a thrill of horror through our frames? Can
we not prevail upon our fellow-citizens to love each
other as brethren and live in peace? Surely it is
proper that we should reason and remonstrate in
this case, and there is ground to believe that our
not be thrown away.

laws which.arolnade, in part, by Alves. For the
Southern Congressmitrare chosen, not merely in
proportion to the number or freemen in their dis
tricts, but also for a large amount of their slaves.
In this way, with all our boasted republicanism,
we are governed by an aristocracy.
Besides all this, even in our own State there is
a large part of our population to whom the rights of
citizenship are denied. It is confidently asserted,
that, in accOrtlance with decisions of the Supreme
Court, no man of color can be a citazen of Penn
sylvania, nor exercise the indispensible and inde
feasable rights of a freeman. Ought these things
so to be? Are we not hound by every considera

and apply the proper remedy to this diseased state
of thingSl Let every one, then, who has the wel.

111 a. Eerron—Let me call the attention of your
readers to a "Circular" which appears in the U. S.
Telegraph of Nov. 16th. This contains an expla
nation of the designs of a recently organized body
called the "American Literary Company." Gcn.
Derr Grinzx, who has so long figured as a Politi
cal Editor, hes nt length directed his attention to
the Morals, Religion and Literature of the land!—
What reception his scheme will meet, remains yet
to be seen. But I hope that we have yet. spirit e
nough left to spurn it,and strength enough to trim
trate it.
Perhaps few of us have forgotten the sentiments
rulvanced and advocated, about a year since, by
Messrs. CALHo uN, hieDerrre& Co. These gen
tlemen not only denounced in the most unsparing
manner, and uttered the direst anathemas against
those who dared to discuss the question of Slavery,
but they also unhesitatingly defended that system
—maintaining that it wan good, righteous, scrip
tural, necessary—yea, the very "foundation of our
Republican institutions!" The document before
us is a stereotype edition of these same ideas, as
the following extracts will show:
"Slavery," says our political theologue, "is the
natural and inevitable consequence of the fallen
condition of man—it has existed in all ages, and
in all communities, from the commencement of
time,and it will continue under all and every mo.
dification,so long as man is compelled to labor for
his daily bread. * a • I know there are those who
make a distinction between the bondshive and the
hired servant: between those laws which recog.
size the property of the master, and those which
enforce the control of the hireling. Igo further
back."
What shall we laboring men say of this? Far
mers and Mechanicks! here is something by which
you are deeply affected. These men are determin
ed to regard you and treat you as Slaves! Indeed
they already do so—have long dime so. Who does
not know that labor is disgraceful in the Smith?
He nee it happens that they have so few lorlechan
ieks, and that their population so frequently de
creases by the emigration of own of no capital.—
But is this in fact our condition? Are those who
work the slaves of those who employ them? No,
their service is free and uncompelled, and receives
a full remuneration—their limbs are unfettered—
their spirits unbroken. Never will they fear the
frown or tremble beneath the lash of a master '

"I go," continues he, "to the law tho Groan

changed by human laws, or human institutions."
Such is always the rearming 4 tyrants. They
would have us believe that God/has given them a
warrant for their Conduct, and grdered us to obey
—they have a "divine right" 14 rule,and are born
like European Kings, "ready Isioted and tqmrred,to
ride the people by the grate (V Girl." whilst we,
poor, people ! must patient i y bow our backs
to the burthen! But it is not so—they utter blas
phemy who thus make Heavea pander to their
vices and a partaker in their c mes. Has not na

which has, age after age, made , the globe groan
with the misery inflicted by despots upon their vic
tims! It is a foul slandei upon the Religion of the
Cross,too,to say that it sanctions Slavery—for, on
the contrary, it destroys it, in every shape, by com
manding us to "love our neighboi as ourselves."
But I am forgetting to makel. you acquainted
with the plan which Gen. Green hs, in his wis
dom, devised for the perpetuation o Slavery, and
for turning back the current of public cling which
is beginning to flow so strongly as ito threaten

think our publishers will be careful to expurgate
every thing they issue; or at all events they (the

to break down all competition and command the

The Cincinnati Whig states that Prof.
SMITH, of the Medical College of Ohio, has
recently performed, with perfect success,
the operation of Lit holrite (or breaking up
the stone in the bladder without cutting in
struments) upon a gentleman, with less suf
fering than he had experienced from the
presence of the stone, and that the patient
afterwards walked home, nearly a mile with
his accustomed alacrity.

Ho! nuriTens!!—What political rifle do
you intend to shoot the next four yelirs ?
There is the Tennessee Ri lie—a strong,
plain stocked, long barrelled old piece—
sure fire, and is generally preferred at the
South to any other. Then, there is the
Ohio Rifle—a real "old bruiser." It'was
first used by Wayne, to whom it was sent
by Washington, in his greattattle with the
lut;:ans-- 7 ft was afterwards in service a 4
Ttppecanoe and through all the American
war--.yet, it is said to be as good as new.
The barrel is true steel—long and heavy-..
stock plam•mounted—bears up a ball well
—American mantiflicture—never missed
fire, and in the hands good marksmen, never
has, and never will miss the mark. Some
interested persons are trying to smuggle off
an article which they call a "New York
Rip." Old hunters say, however, that it
is nothing but a shot gun, with cast iron
barrel. They say, moreover, that calling
a shot gun a rifle, does not make it one. The
counterfeit may be known from the genuine
by the circumstances, that you have to pull
the trigger the wrong way in order to dis
charge it, and you point it one way and it
shoots the other.

By a recent analysis of the soil in a die
t rict df Cornwall, England, it was discover
ed to contain fifty per cent of arsenic; the
arsenic was in the form of a sulphuret, and
the balance of the soil was composed of sub._
phuret of iron and some silica. No plants
grow in this soil. A series of experiments
are now going on at Oxford, testing the
eff.•cts of arsenic upon diflbrent soils, which
will no doubt be important, should it
be discovered that soils contain arsenic,
and are destructive to vegetable matter.

MAIL ROBBERY. —The Cleveland, Ohio,
Gazette of the 7th inst. says—The story in
circulation last week that the entire mail,
from this place to Erie, was taken from the
boot of the singe between Fuller's tavern
and Painesville, on the night of Wednesday
last, is well confirmed. No traces of tho
contents are yet discovered. The mad was
in the boot alone, and the straps were buck
led and tied in knots. It was removed by
unfastening the straps and then fixing every
thing as belbre, which accounts for its not
being discovered till the stage arrived at
Painesville. The way mail was in another
part of tho stage. At Fuller's, most if not
all the passengers left the stage, and no
baggage remained in the boot. Here the
large mail bag was changed, and left in the
exposed situation above described.

Death of an Editor
(0 - 4. AME N C. GILLELAND, Esq. late Editor of
the "Pittsburgh Times," died at his residence in
the City of Pittsburgh, on the 10th of Nov. inst.
By the death of Mr. Gilleland, the Common
wealth has lost one of her purest and ablest sons.
Ho possessed fine talents and a finished education.
Void of intrigue and unhallowed ambition, he
chose his course with a single eye to what he be..
lieved to be the good of his country; and when
once chosen, he pursued it with a fortitude which
nothing could shake, and a fearlessness which no
thing could intimidate. He maintained his posi
tions by stern but gentlemanly argument. An
Anti-Mason from principle, he could not be di
verted from it to flatter ephemeral ambition. If
he over erred, (and who does not?) it proceedet
from the head and not the heart.
If virtuous intentions, supported by honorable
moans, arc worthy of reward here and hereafter,
he has left behind him an honest farne,and carried
with him a safe passport through the dark Valley
of the Shadow of Death.

Difficulties of an Editor.
• Q -Of all human beings, (if perhaps through
courtesy wo except old Mr. Job,) none have half
so much occasion for I.Atit:Nes as the Editor of
a Political Newspaper. His patrons all differ in
their own looks, and yet they expect him to look
like each•of them! If ho lengthens his visage to
suit the cut of some long jawed subscriber, his
round-faced friend considers it a libel upon his
chubby appearance! If ho screws up and Ilattenb
hiS features to resemble the latitudinal aspect of
his chubby neighbor, his longitudinal subscriber
takes oilbnco because his fashion is scorned!
If wo stick to Anti-Masonry and stand 'neutral
between the Masonic candidates, some honest
friend who thinks the "Country is in danger" is
offended, because wo do not hurrah for "Tippeca
noe!" If we lean a little to the Old Warrior, some
true blue distinctive Anti-Mason becomes indig
nant at seeing his pure principles betrayed! And
as we happen to lean to this side, or that, to please
the varying tastes of our friends, individuals of
each opinion enter our office, with a disturbed air,
and utter the ungentle inundate, "Stop my paper!"
All Job's comforters, wife and all, could hardly
point out a course which would satisfy ourself and
aliour friends! WELL! WE 60 fiTRAIWIT AHEAD

Justice and indulgent friends.

We observe that the Harrisburgh "Tele
graph," Huntingdon "Journal," Carlisle "Exposi
tor," and other papers professing Anti-Masonry,
have placed the name of Gen. Harrison at the
head of their columns as the "Peori.E's Gssror-
DATE ." for the Presidency! Not a word is said of
his being the .Anti-Masonic candidate! Indeed,
in giving the returns of votes for Electors and
Delegates to Convention, most of these same pa
pers call them "Whig" or "Anti-Van Buren"
votes! No where arc they called Anti-Masonic!
Our friends seem ashamed or afraid to use the term
in publick since the December Convention!
We would be obliged to our friends above refer
red to = our former political associates—to inform
us distinctly, whether they intend to merge Anti-
Masonry into some other party—Whig, People's,
Harrison or any other name? If not, why hoist
the name of any Presidential candidate until selee:
ted by the Anti-Masonic party? Or, at lest, why
not call him the Anti-Masonic candidate?
We wish for fair dealing. If we are to disband
and choose other parties, we, at least, will not herd
with political paupers. If we are to espouse a
party without regard to principle, we will go
where there is some political sagacity.
We had hoped that after this foolish campaign,
some effort would have been made at the Sent of
Government to restore principle to our party ac
tion.

as by the Mex:can troops, which have been
concentrating for several months at Meta

The invading army of 4000 men being
reduced to about as ninny hundred, by the
constant desertion of the troops, who, in:
dependent of their want of clothing, court
not procure sufficient provisions for their
necessary subsistence. We hove all along
anticipated this result. '

The Convention.
The returns which we publish in another
*column show that the people have rebuked
the Jacobinical upholders of the doctrines
put forth by George M. Dallas and Fanny
W right, and that a majority, small but firm,
of the friends of order, law, the inviolability
of contracts and the preservation of tlm pub.
tic faith are elected to the constitutional
convention. This is glory enough for ono
day, though we are almost sorry that our
friends have taken away from the Van flu•
renites the responsibility which would have
rested on them, had they elected a majority
of delegates. We congratulate the com
munity on this auspicious result, and regard
it as a harbinger of greater triumphs yet to
be won by our friends, if they are true to.
themselves, their cause, their candidates
and their country.
We have not the means at hand of mak
ing out a list of members of the Convention,
but it will comprrze the elite of Pennsylvania
talent. In addition to our fellow citizen,
Charles A. Barnitz, Esq. and the other sen
atorial delegates from this district, we may
mention the names of Messrs. Denny and
Forward of Allegheny, Dunlop of Franklin,
McSherry and Stevens of Adams, Sergeant,
Chauncey, Hopkinson, Scott, Meredith and
Chandler of Philadelphia, as those which
should make us feel proud. Next week we

THE Fume DEPOSITE2.—Thn Rhode
Island Legislature on Friday afternoon pas
sed a bill providing that a portion of the
public money which shall be received by
the state of Rhode Island, shall be deposi
ted in the several Banks of the State Which
have conformed to the law of the State,
and which will agree to receive the same
and pay to the State interest at the rate of
five per cent. The interest is to be appro
priated to the support of public schools. An
attempt was made to amend the bill, in
such a manner that each town should be en
titled to receive a part of the money in pro
portion to its population, but the amend
ment was - rejected by a vote of 3 to 60.
WILLIAMSPORT CONVENTION.-A Rai
road Convention was held at Williamsport,
Pa. on Wednesday week last, at which no
less than sixteen counties of that State were
represented. The object was to take order
for carrying out the measure of connecting
the Pennsylvania improvements with the
lake Commerce, by means of a Rail Road
from NORTHUMBERLAND 10 ERIE. About
two hundred delegates were in attendance.
At the first meeting of the Convention,
General ANTHONY, of Williamsport, was
called to the chair, preparatory, to its or
ganization; and in the afternoon, Nicuor,As
BIDDLE, Esq. of Philadelphia, was wino
mously elected President and Messrs. CAlt-
EnoN, of Dauphin, WALKER, of Erie, Dori-
ALDSON, of Columbiaville, PARKER, of Ly
coming, Vice Presidents; and BURNSIDE,
of Centre, and PARSONS, of Lycoming, Sec.
rotaries.
On being conducted to the chair, Mr.
BIDDLE made a most eloquent and appro.
priate address. A committee was then
appointed, consisting of one member from
each county,nnd of which W. B. REED, Es . q.
of Philadelphia, was chairman, to report on
he order of business before the Convention
—after which there was an adjournment till
next day. Of its final proceedings, we ere
thus advised by a postscript in the Harris
burg Telegraph:
"The Convention passed resolutions rec
ommending to the Legislature to incorpo
rate a company to make a rail-road from
Erie to Northumberland—also one from
Northumberland to Harrisburg—also to
authorize the Little Schuylkill rail-road
company to make a rail-road from the mouth
of the Catawissa to the West Branch of the
Susquehanna. at some point between Willi
amsport and Northumberland--also recom
mending an extension of the West Branch
canal to the Allegheny river."
Thus it will be seen that the spirit of the
old Keystone State has not yet waxed feeble,
in the great work of internal improvement,
but en the contrary that she is biking all
necessary measures for prosecuting her
splendid system of public works to comple
tion, by extending them in double lines—
both by canals and rail-roads--to the town
and port of Erie, the best harbour on the
lake.—Ball. Patriot.
How SHALL WE Livia—Flour eleven or
twelve dollars a barrel—Rye 81,50 per
bushel—Corn do.--Butter 25 cts. per pound
—Potatoes 33 and 51) cents per bushel--
Wood higher than ever--therefore how
shall we livel—We will be marvelously kind
as well as marvelously wise and tell you. In
the first place eat no cakes, pies. or things
of this kind, but live on plain and wholesome
food. Buy no little nicknacks,such as nuts,
' ra;sins, &c. In the next place be economi
cal in dress. Brush up and mend the old
coat and wear it a little longer; ditto your
other garments. Get your old hat ironed
over, and let it last an extra three months.
Wear cow-hide boots instead of calf-skin—
they are not only cheaper, but better for
cold weather. Avoid unnecessary rides.
Stay at home, and if you are without a•home
and are bachelors, get married forthwith,
and provide yourselves with one. Save
wood by making your dwellings tight, and
by using stoves and keeping your doors shut?
Follow these directions, and if you dont get
along - well enough, it is because you are
lazy, and we must be pronounced poor the
oretical economists.—Hampahire Gas.

AND
Lady's American Magazine
THE P i roprietor of the Lady's Book, graterul for
the unceasing patronage which he has received, sm.
nounces to the Ladies who have so generously sus
tained their own "Book," that he has made new ar
rangements for their gratification. Convinced that
he could not in any way more effectually promote the
interests, or realize the wishes of his numerous sub
scribers, he has secured the valuable aid of
MRS. SARAH JANE HALE,
of Boston, to whose superintendence the literary de
partments of the Lady's Book will hereafter be com
mitted For many years Mrs. Hale his conducted
the American Ladies' Mu,gizine—a peri,dlcal of un
common merit, which will be merged in the Lady's
Book. Her abilities are familiar to her countrywomen,
and on both sides of the Atlantic she enjoys a high
reputation as one of the most graceful, vigorous, and
accomplished of our female writers.
Under the judicious management of Mrs. Hale, the
Lady's Book will not only 'maintain the excellent
character it has already acquired, but it is confidently
expected that it will be rendered more eminently
Worthy of the support of those to whose interests and
amusement it has been, and will continue to be devo
ted. The superior talents and fine taste of the . Edi
tor will give the work anew impnlse; while her own
contributions, and those received from her personal
friends, and other correspondents, of whom a number
have already promised, will render it almost entirely
original. Amongst others who are expected to fur
nish matter for the Book may be mentioned,
Mri. 'Sarah J. Hale, Ed. Morton McMichael,
Mn.si L. H. Sigourney, Robert T. Conrad,
Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, Alex. Dmitri", A. M.,
Mni.Caroline L. Rentz, IL E. Hale,
Mrti E. F. Ellett, E. Burke Fisher,
Miss Leslie, N. C. Brooks, A. M.,
Miss H. F. Gould, Viim. E. Burton,
Miss C. E. Gooch, Willis G. Clark,
Miss'L. H. Medina, Joseph C. Neal,
R. S. Mackenzie, L, L. D., B. B. Thatcher, _
Joseph IL Chandler, R. Penn Smith,
The Proprietor of the Lady's Book is determined
to use every means to maintala the superiority, which
his publication has obtained. For years he has gone
steadily on in the course of improvement, hnd he
flatters himself that his facilities arc such as to give
his work eminent advantages over his competitors.
His very ample subscription list
.enables him to be
liberal in his expenditures upon iL'and whatever can
be accomplished by enterprize and cost he is resolved
to effect. Besides the persons above mentioned as
contributors,he has expectations of receiving original
articles from several distinguished female writers in
Europe: and as an inducement to writers of our own
country,ho is willing to pay for every article adopted
by him as suitable to his publication,as high a rate of
remuneration as will be given by the proprietors of
any other periodical in the United States.
The mechanical portion of the Lady's Book will
likewise be improved. The typography will be more
elegant,and the paper of a better quality. During the
year portraits, engraved on steel, of several eminent
ladies will be given: and every second month a co
loured plate, illustrating the prevailing fashion, will
be furnished. Other enthellishrnents,calculated to en
hance the appearande and increase the value of the
work,will be introduced, 'and generally, every thing
will be done that' he most untiring purpose of making
the Lady's Book pre-eminently entitled to patronage
can suggest. With the experience he has acquired
during a long course of years devoteitto the business,
and the aid to be derived from the distinguished lady
who will henceforth be associated with hun,the Pub
lisher is confident that be will be able to render the
amplest satisfaction to all who may become his pa
trons. Ile,therefore,with.a just reliance on his claims
to support, respectfully solicits a continuance of that
liberal encouragement which has so kindly been be
stowed on his endeavors. • -

EDITED BY
Jas. Cooper & , Win. M. Reynolds.
TIIE Pius, beyond a doubt, is the grand lever
which now moves the intellectual world. Among
civilized nations, public opinion bows so submis
sively to no other • power, oven despots reverence
its voice, and demagogues tremble at its frown. '
Of course, it may be an instrument either of
good or of evil—an Ithuriel's spear of truth, or a
sorcerer's delusiVo' wand. The obstinate defender
of exploded doctrines and tho wild propagandist of
the latest theory alike make this their weapon of
attack and defence; and by its means may the
friend of truth most successfully refute error and
disseminate the pure principles of right reason.
• In one of these Ways, we may rest assured, it
will be employed; for never can it 'bey fettered or
silenced, and thus will the world continue to read
and be ruled by its reasonings. In the present
state of society, books, periodicals, magazines and
newspapers may be reckoned among the - necessaries
of life; for which the appetite and demand are be
coining alike universal. Is it not,then incalculably
important that a proper direction be given , to this
feeling, so that it may be productive ofall the-bone
fits which it promises • • • .• —• •
We have long believed that the weekly news
paper might assume a character somewhat different
from that which it has usually had—that it- might
be :mule to come more home •to the • bosoms and
business of men—that its interest might be deep
ened—its moral tone elevated—its usefulness ex
tended far beyond its present•limits. •
Desirous of contributing somewhat to the fur.
theranco of such an object, we propose publishing
a weekly journal under the above title - . • Tea Inns
will endeavor to keep constantly in view and stead
fastly advocate the objects to whith it is professedly
devoted. Regarding virtue as the surest source of ;
individual happiness and national prosperity, wo
shall endeavor to • illustrate its principles and en
force its precepts. Laboring for -.the many," we
shall offer to the people the Key of• knowledge,
that they may thus keep in their own hands that
power which will otherwise ere long glide from
them into the hands of "a few." Looking at all
usellit labor as not only the true foundation of
wealth, but also honorable—discoveries and im
provements in the arts, 'agriculture and kindred
subjects, wilt claim a due share of our attention.
Whilst we aim at combining ~ t he useful 'with
the agreeable," we hope to avoid the. danger , of
dulness, 4?il the one hand, and that of pandering to
the corrupt taste, on the other.
Studiously abstaining from party politics, we
shall think it our duty to discuss important points
of policy. We shall also attempt to give an im
partial account of domestic as well as of foreign
affairs.
With this brief exposition' of their views em
plans;the Editors throw thettiselves upon the in
dulgence of a discriminating • public, pledging
themselves, if they meet with encouragement, to
!Maier the work worthy of patronage.
TERMS:
I. TH E NIS Will be published weekly, on a half
