, . nottesire to Shield them from it. But the great mass, who have refined to take part inthe anti-slavery movement, have been governed by pure motives. If they have erred, they have not erred willingly, or from the influence of low and servile pas sions. They have consequently been wrong ed by the treatment they have received, at the hands of abolitionists, and men are not brought over by wrongs to a good cause." 4 4 have said that I have no desire to 'shield tll% , unworthy among ourselves. We have those whose opposition to abolitionism has been wicked, and merits reprobation. Sad] are to he found in all classes, forming indeed a minority in each, yet numerous enough to deserve attention, and to do much harm. Such are to be found in what is cal led the highest class of society, that is, a mong the rich and fashionable, and the cause is obvious. The rich and fashionable belong to the caste with the slaveholder, and men are apt tosympathize with their own caste more readily than with those be peath them. The slave is tno low, vulgar, to awaken interest in those who abhor vulgarity more than oppression and crime, and who found all their self-admiration on the rank they occupy in the social scale." "Then in the commercial class, there are unworthy opposers of A bolitionism. There are those, whose interests rouse thorn to withstand every movement, which may of tend the South. They have profitable con• nexions with the slaveholder, which must not be endangered by expressions of sympa. they with the slave. *Gain is their God,and thy sacrifice on this altar, without compunc tion, the rights and happiness of their fel. low-creaturein To such, the philanthropy, which would break every chain, is fana ticism, or a pretence. Nothing in their own souls ^helps them to comprehend the fervor of men who feel for the wronged, and can hazard property and life in expos ing the wrong." After stating that the Conservatives, an a clam, were opposed to abolition; to whoril Reform sounds 'like a knoll, lest any abuses in which they them selyes arc interested should be attacked, the learn ed Doctor continues:— "Among our politicians are men, who re - gard public life na n charmed circle, into which moral principle must not enter, who know no law but expediency, who are pre pared to kiss the feet of the South for South• ern votes, and who stand ready to echo all the vituperations of the slaveholdor against the active enemies of slavery in the free States." "With these impressions, I ought not to be deterred by self distrust, or by my dis tance from danger, from summoning and cheering others toconflict with evil. Chris. tianity as I regard it, is designed through out to fortify us for this warfare. Its great lesson is self sacrifice. Its distinguishing spirit is Divine Philanthropy suffering on the Cross. The Cross, the Cross! this is the badge, and standard of our religion—l honor all who bear it—l look with scorn on the selfish greatness of this world, and with pity on the most gifted and prosperous in the struggle fur office and power; but 1 look with reverence on the obscurest man, who antlers for the Right, who is true to a good but persecuted cause." WILLIAM E. CHANNING. It is really refreshing, in these times of craven subserviency to the remorseless spirit which slavery has diffused through the na tion, to witness such a man as Channing Wand up fearlessly and in the face of revil inga and contumely and in the majesty of mind and truth contend for the rights of • man. The example of one so eminent as Channing will do much to shame the pusilla nimous great men around him,into a course :of independence and fearlessness.

The Baltimore Chronicle of Monday last, contains a long letter from its Correspondent, giving the proceedings of the 7th—from which we learn that after the Court had commenced its business, Ma jor General GAINES entered the room,and proceed ed to the front of the President, (Gen. MAcosin,) pronounced the proceedings illegal, and demanded the right of cross-questioning witnesses, &c.— This conduct having created some little excite ment, the President ordered the Court to bo clear ed, In a short time (continues the Chronicle's Correspondent,) we reentered the chamber, and General Gaines was informed by the Court, through the Judge Advocate, that "the Court had every desire to extend to him at the proper time the utmost latitude in the furtherance of his inquiries; but that, at the present time, he would not be permit ted to interfere with the business of the Court by the introduction ofirrelevant observations and that it was hoped further suggestions on the subject would be found unnecessary." The General continued his perpendicular position. Lt. Morris was sworn—" Where and In what capacity were you in April last? Answer—At Tampa Bay-4 was com. missary of Depot.

Illacomb.—"General Gaines, sub- mit your views to pager, and they will be considered and regarded. Do so now, or any time after the adjournment of the Court this morning will do." Gen. G.—"No, Sir, I will do so now." Proceedings were accordingly suspended to enable the gallant old soldier to embody his views, at the completion of which, he commenced another address to the Court, but was again interrupted by Gen. Macomb. Gen. G.—"l wish, Mr. President, to con vince this Court and the country that the whole tenor of its proceedings is at war with law, usage and reason And— Gen.

On the reopening, the Court, through the Prescient; nnounced that the protest Of General Gaines shabld be incorporated with the proper documents. Gen. Gaines then read his acquiesence in the decision of the President of the United States, in relation to Gen. Macomb, and. after the transaction of unimportant business the Court adjourn• ed until to-morrow at 11 A. M. The opinions of the Court, as expressed to Gen. Games, were delivered by Major General Macomb in a language and manner highly creditable to his talents and urbani (yr. He urged upon his brother officer, to whom he stood in a relation altogether un solicited, an adherence . to - a course, the ex pediency and propriety of which, his own judgement must approve, and one which the rules of service absolutely exacted.

(:: .. .After considerable lashing and bantering, the House of Representatives have at last agreed that the charge of REUBEN M. WHITNEY'S being in some way or other connected with the Deposite Banks, should be investigated. A Committee has accordingly been appoii%l to investigate the mat ter. Since which time the subjoined letter from WIIITItEV has found its way into the public prints, and is creating considerable excitement wherever read. When It was read to President JACKSON, it is said, sick as he was, he visited a few of his usual blessings upon Reuben and his holiest asso ciates! The Hagerstown Torch Light makes the fol- lowing indignant remarks on the baseness disclosed in the letter:— Was ever impudence more barefaced and unprincipled than this? Here, is an irres. ponsible, s lawless agent of the Pet Banks and the Treasury Department,coneocting secret schemes with those Banks for the avowed purpose of over-reaching and duping the people's Representatives through their tg noraare, into the enaction of laws, for the benefit of those Banks, of a character which forbade their open and honest recommenda tion! W hat will the hone,t people of the country, who have heretofore been blind folded and deceived as to the true character of Whitney and his office,now think of them? They must loathe the man and repudiate the principles upon which he has been employed. R. M. WHITNEY'S CIRCULAR. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 1836. DEAR Sin:—l should consider that I was remiss in discharging the duty which I owe to those Banks which employ me to reside here to attend to their interests, were I to remain inactive on the present occasion.— You will have seen that the President, in his annual message to Congress of yester• day, in relation to the operation of the law of the last session of Congress, regulating the Deposite Banks, says, it is believed that it "operates onerously and unjustly upon many of them in many respects." Hejust• ly recommends a modification of that law, so as to remove such operation. I believe that few of the Banks are aware what they are chargeable with under that law; I will explain: on all sums, while in transitu, they are chargeable with tnterest; for instance, a Bank at New Orleans, which is required to transfer money to Boston, must pay interest upon it until it is placed at the credit of the Treasurer at that place, although it may be money transferred to New Orleans from St. Louis or Natchez. This is not all; the New Orleans Bank must pay interest upon this money while in its possession, although it derives no use of it, but is employed in making preparations to transmit it to the point 'ordored. The same in cases where transfers are ordered from New York to North Caroline, South Carolina, Geor,gin and Virginia. This must certainly be pronounced as "nn unjust operation of the law." .Wharis considered an "onerous" part of the law is the exaction of any interest at all. The Bank of the United States never paid any intereston the public deposits, and for ten years prior to 1833 they averaged eight millions ofdollars. That institution render ed no greater service than the Deposit Banks do to the government in preforming the duties of disbursing agents. The services rendered in the way of, transfering the public money from one place to another by the Deposit Banks are nearly fourfold those rendered by the B ink of the United States in any one year; and that too by a small number of Deposit Banks. It is believed that the greatest sum ever transferred by the Bank of the United States in any one year was in 1q32, amounting to 816,000,000. During the year ending the Ist of October, 1836, the transfers ac• tually made and paid by the Deposit Banks amounted to 839,319,894, and the amount transferred and paid between the Ist of Oc- tober and the 6th of November, was $5,390, 000, and the amount of transfer warrants outstanding at that date was $14,950,000, --making an aggregateepf $59,16H,894.-- This, I venture to say, is without a prece dent in any commercial country. The tranfers made by the Bank of the United States were generally between the Itl.►ntic cities, or from the east to the west, in all of which cases, if there was not a profit grow ing out of making them, they were not at. tended with loss; while millions of the trans fers made by the Deposit Banks have been in an inverse direction,& have been attended both by a heavy loss and risk to the Banks that have been called upon to make them. ft is a remarkable fact, which shows the ability of a small number of the State Bunks to perform all the fiscal duties of the government, that nearly all these transfers have been made by sixteen Banks. In the negotiation of the Domestic ex changes, the ability of the Deposit Banks to grant all and even greater facilities to the community than were ever derived from the Batik of the United States, is most fully de• monstrated, and the contrast in the opera• tions of a few of them, compared with those of the Bank of the United States, is not less striking than that in the trawlers of the public money made by the two. The do mestic exchange transactions of the Bank of the United States, and its twenty-five branches, were stated by Mr. Binney, in his speech in 1834, to be $225,617,9111.-- ' This embraced some items which I do not consider come legitimately within transac tions which should be embraced under that head. By returns which have been receiv ed from nineteen of the Deposit Banks, their transactions for the year ending the Ist of October last, embracing the same items of their operations as those included in Mr. Binney's statement, amounted in the aggregate to $420,463,211. If the legiti mate transactions of each only were stated,[ believe the contrast would be still greater. 'rho important services rendered to the Government, in the various duties devoly• ing upon a small number of the Deposit Banks, as well as the facilities granted the community by an almost equally small num ber, are fully appreciated here; nor will it be overlooked by those whose characters were staked upon the success of the mea sure; the faithful manner in which the orgi• nal Deposit Banks executed the duties which they were required to perform and the aid which was derived from then) in carrying out successfully the 'experiment' of employ ing State Banks as the fiscal agents of the Government, in place of the Bank of the United States amidst an opposition and war• fare to defeat it without a precedent in this country. There is another fact which ought not to be forgotten, that in the transfers of the public money and the Domestic bill trans actions performed by the Bank of the U. States; the whole was performed by one and the same institution, directed by the same head, while in the case of the Deposit Banks, the whole has been preformed by separate and distinct institutions, each of which has been obliged to rely on its own resources. I know that both here and elsewhere, those who feel a desire for the success of the "experiment" of employing State Banks as fiscal agents, have always been opposed to the tax of interest required under the de posit bill, and will both encourage a relin• quishment of any interest which may have accrued already, but also to repeal the op eration of the act for the future. The services to the Government, and the facilities rendered the community, which I have already detailed, furnish strong grounds for such claim on the part of those Banks which have performed them; but there are others which apply to nearly all, such as the aid given in carrying out the views of the Administration in supplying a metalic currency under the acts of Congress, and also, in many instances, ►n relinquishing n circulation of small notes, which was valua ble to the Bank, and substituting the precious metals in their place. It is my intention to exert myself to have a substitute at the present session for the law of the last session, free of objections, and also to obtain a repeal of that part of the lat ter requiring the payment of interest by the Deposit Banks, both retrospectively and prospectively. It will aid me much if the directors of the various Banks to whom I send this will address letters to such members of each House as they may be acquainted with, impressing upon them the onerous duties which have been performed by the Deposit Banks, the injustice done many of them by the exaction of interest as the law is now construed, and the magnanimity which Con• gress would display by , a total relinquish ment of interest altogether, both past and for the future. . Another argument might be employed, but it would be impolitic to make use of it with members, which is this; that as soon as the sum. in the Treasury comes to be reduced by the operation of the Deposits Law, the Banks which will be continued will hardly find it an object to subject them selves to the expense of acting as fiscal agents for the use ofthe small sum which each can have,even without paying any interest what. over. Before the close of next zear,we must go back to as small a number of Deposit Banks, as were employed prior to the pas. sage of the Deposit Act; consequently with but few excepuons,the newly Selected Banks will have to become as they were. All this part of the subject had better be promulga ted here; it is my intention speedily to com mence upon that subject, first, by enlighten ing Congress in relation to the facts,of which 1 am sure most of the members are ignorant, and thrill to proceed to carry through my object; andi hope 1 may receive all the support possible from those immedinicly in terested, in the way I have pointed out. I shall send this communication to very few of the Banks not of the original selec tion, and I trust that all to whom I do send it will view it as one not to be made public, though not marked confidential. Permit me to say, that rio time should be lost in adopting such measures as may be conmidered expedient. I would add one further swrgestion—that in all cases where letters may to. written up• on this subject, a willingness be expressed to aid in future to the full extent of the abili ty of the Bank, as far as circumstances will permit, the carrying out of the measure of substituting a metal►c for a paper medium, within the limit fixed by the President (20 dollars). I am, very respectfully, your most obe dient servant. R. M. W "JITNEY. P. S.

Gomez had made an unsuccessful attempt to retire to the Tagus, but wns prevented by the pre sence of Redd, the minister of war, with a large force interposing. Rodil was recal.'. led to Madrid, to answer for misconduct in jot bringing Gomez to action. His army was left in command of General Narvaez, who commanded in the battle of the 25th arid 26th, near Cadiz.

DEATH BY DROWNING.-A young man named ARCHIBALD M ' ELROY, a student in Allegany College, at Meadville, Pa. was drowned in a darn on French Creek, near that place, on the 31st ult. He had been skating, with a number of his companions, but at the moment of the accident was con• siderably in rear of the rest of the company, when slipping into an air hole, he sunk into the water to rise no more in life. The body, was recovered from the water on the fol lowing day. The young man was the son of a decased Methodist Clergyman, late of Columbus, Ohio, and leaves a widowed. mother to mourn his early fate. A western editor says that fifteen young men who wore subscribers to his paper, om reading the first number, began to feel synt. toms of matrimony, and in less than six weeks, they were all married. The Wheel ing Times adds; The first sensations were probably much like those of the Hudson riv er Dutchman when he took the love powder:: said he, "I bilked, and buked till Ltaught should buke mine powels up." A monster at Vienna stole two children, a boy and a girl, of very tender ages, from their parents, and shut them in a cellar re mote from all human habitation, gave them, only raw meat to eat, never spoke to them in human accents, and allowed them to hear only his own voice, when he tried to make• it imitative of the sounds of wild animals.— His object was to bring these unfortunates up as savages, and then exhibit them for money. By some aecident. however, the pear prisoners were discovered, and the sor did miscreant has beeadelivered over to the law. Mr. GEORGE BELTZMOVEI, Of Baltimore city, weighed a few days since a calf raised by him which was got by his half Durham and Devon bull out of a 7-8 Durham cow.-- The calf isonly three months old and weigh ed 337 lbs. This is indeed,a,most extraordi nary young animal, and wilt if pushed for ward in its growth, make a noble creature. Mr. Beltzhoover also weighed the mother of this fine calf and found her weight on the hoof 1300 SAGACITY OF A SeltriauEL.--..We have frequently heard of the Angacity of the DV, Horse, Elephant, &e. but never until this week did we. hear of the sagacity of the Squirrel. Mr. Geo. Hughes of this Town had one so tame that it was Ruffered•to run at large. Ho says it become remarkably lnd of all the family but one. It would play with them,. sleep with them and follow them out about their work. But on all occasions when it - would meet this one of the family it would make at him for fight and scratch and bite him. No reason could be assign. ed for it save that he had ofThnded the squir rel by taking from it forcibly, on one oc• casion some of its food.—Cumberland Ad vertaarr. MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.—The hill to increase the delegation from Baltimore city in the House of lb legates—passedat the last session of the Legislature—has been confirmed by both ',ranchos of the present Legislature, and is therefore now part of the constitution. This bill gives FOUR raeiribers to Baltimore imdead of two, as heretofore, and nieces her in that respect on an equality with the counties. It passed the Senate unanimously,—and in the House of Delegates, 53 to 15, GENERAL JESSUP. Gen. Jessup sinks rapidly in public res pect. His letter to F. P. Blair gave the • first blow, self inflicted. to his reputation.— It will be remembered that as Quarter Mos• ter, he assailed Gen. Gaines' military con duct in Florida, in terms indirect, bin also unequivocal and severe. Knowing Gaines' hostility to Scott, and apparently desiring to fortify himself agninit Gen. Scott, by an alliance with Gen. Gaines, he has re cently addressed letters to the latter, eulo gising his conduct in Florida. The Albany Advertiser of Dec. 30, says: "Gen. tossup hos, it would seem, an un fortunate talent at letter writing. Although a -coolness has heretofore subsisted between himself and General Gaines, Jessup has recently written Gaines a highly compli• mentary letter, eulogising his military ca• rear in Florida, &c. &c. and then asking for the aid of the 001 Regt. United States Infantry in carrying on the war against Oseola. Copies of this letter have been despatched to Washington and Frederick. The comments made upon it by military men are any thing but flattering." Fuont Annion.—Gen. Jessup's march to "strike Oseola," has resulted like the Irishman's - feat in catchtnr* a Ilea—when he put his finger upon him he was not there'— We have accounts from the army to the ult., between which and the 12th Gen. .1. had scoured the Wahoo Swamp, but not nn In• dian was to be found. He had returned and established a post at Dade's Battle ground, where a portion of the army under his command were—and that it was his in- tention immediately to pursue them to the Everglades, where it was supposed they had gone. TIRE FLORIDA WAR.—The steamboat illeridtan arrived at Mobile on the sth inst. from Tampa Ray, with three hundred of the Tennessee troops, who nre on their way home. The remainder of the Tennesseans --106 in number—took passim direct for New Orleans in the'schooner Byron, where they arrived on the lstinst. under command of Maj. MAURY, "in a most deplorable con dition." They have had a dreadful time of it since they?' left heme, and nre broken down with fatigue and distress and suffering with sickness. The . Mobile Advertiser states that not more than two-thirds of the brigade will ever return to Tennessee, and that of the five hundred fine horses they . had when they arrived in the Creek Nation, seventy.five are only left! Gen. j'Essur was at Tampa Bay when the Tennessean volunteers left, uncertain what to do. No further movement had been made by his army since the failure of his expedition against the Indians at Wahoo Swamp. THE ACT OF A MOTHER.--A house be longing to Isaac Lane and Geo. Barnes, was recently destroyed by fire at Hingham. It seems that a husband and wife slept on the ground floor, and their father and child in the garret. In trying to go up to rescue the unconsious sleepers at the top of the house, the husband came to a plank two thirds burnt off; he dared not cross it, and refused to let his wile, who insisted that there was no danger, but turned back and went after a ladder toenter the chamber win dow. The mother's impatience would not endure this perilous delay, and with that dauntless interpidity, which woman always exhibits when her offspring are in danger, she ruched across and returned in safety with both her father and child! Summits REVENUE.—On the 3d instant, the Secretary of the Treasury transmitted a communication to the Speaker of the House, informing him that the balance in the Treasury, ot. the Ist instant, subject to be apportioned among the States, was 837,- 408,%9 97. ~ T he division of this sum, in cluding Michigan, will be in the ratio of $127,445 10 to each electoral vote.

(ryWe learn from the Chambersburgh Weekly Messenger that the name of the Rev. JOHN MILLER, of Huntingdon county, was at a late meeting of West Pennsylv min Classis, "erased from the list of Ministers of West Pennsylvania Classts of the German Reformed Church," having been found guilty of “PoNgansy, Drurilecnness and Fraud."

( : r •The Washington Correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, ofJapintry 8, thus writes:— , We had an exciting debate in the House to-day,on the Slave question. Mr. John Q. Adams offered a petition from the ladies in his District, praying the Abolition of Slave ry in the District of Columbia, which he asked to have referred to the Committee on the District. Its reception being objected to by the Reverend Mr. Lawler,of Alabama, a debate arose, in which Mr. Glasscock took an unenviable part. Mr. Adams, who was not to be foiled by any one, or the ad dress 01 any party, went. into the debate with all imaginable vigor, and defended the sacred right of petition. In the course of his remarks, he wished to read the petition itself; objection was made,and as Mr. Adams persisted, great excitement ensued, and at one time the House was in a state of utter ' confusion. Mr. Adams insisted, and amid cries of order from the chair and from the House, effected hig object. The question now resolved itself on the first point of reception, and it was decided by a vote of 137 to 72', that the Petition should he received. Mr. Adams thus car ried his point—the people will now under stand that the right of petition is held sacred; and those who voted for its violation and demolition, will yet find that they are des tined to receive the disapprobation of their countrymen. Whenever that sacred right is trampled under foot. we may make up our minds to bid adieu to the rights of a free people. ai-A bill has been reported in the House of Rep resentatives of this Eitate,allowing sotpe man in U nion county three hundreddollor3,ll.9 a premium for MEE cnlLnnsv presented him at one birth by his wife. ( 1 . -Resolutions have been offered in the House instructing our Senators in Congress to vote for Renton's Expunging Resolutions! Also to inquire into the expediency of abolish ing the Board of Canal Commissioners, and of establishing a Board of Public Works!! A Bill has passed the Senate providing for the printing and distribution of the Pamphlet Laws in the German language. It is now under consid eration in the House of Representatives. Mr. M'CoNK ET, of the Senate, presented a pe tition, on the 7th inst. from Daniel Philip Lang, (of Hanover,) praying for a di,vorce. Mr. Fot.LEtrioN, same day, read in his place by its title, a bill "providing for the construction of a Rail Road from Chambersburgh to Gettys burgh." In the house, Mr. GATIRETRON reported a bill authorizing rohn B. McPherson and Moses Mc- Olcan,Esqs. to sell and convey certain Real Estate. ryTlie bill for the admission of Michigan into the Union, has finally passed the U. S. Senate, by the following vote: YEAS.—Messrs. Benton, Brown finchannan, Da na, Fulton, Gnindy, Hendricks, Hubbard, King. of Ala., King, of Gn , Linn, Nicholas, Niles, Page, Par ker, Rives.

TH lIIMVA Srss- sys.—We know of no one (says the Philadelphia Commonwealth in giving place to the testimony shown by the publisher of Dr. Dm s's works,) to whom the work could have been more meritoriously inscribed. Mr. STETENS has long been the advocate of universal education, and has distinguished himself as the champion of common schools. A gentleman of liberal education superior intellect, and powerful and grasping mimi, he has pursued his devotion Odle enlightening of mankind with unceasing industry, and with an eloquence energetic and engrossing. Often have we heard him, when the House of Representatives has been held as by magic, and the attention of every member rivctted on the speaker, and often have we known the House to be absorbed many moments after he htte taken his scat, as if still lux uriating in the enjoyment of his splendid fancy, depth of thought and enchanting language. We have seen him kindling from one beautiful concep tion to another,until the range of ideas might have been deemed exhausted, and still further leaped the giant in his strength. On whom, then, we ask, could the compliment have been more deserv ingly bestowed than on Tannorrs SravENsl c ts. We have received several numbers of the "Pittsburgh Daily Times," a handsoinely printed sheet, nt $.5 per annum. It professes Democratic Anti-Masonry, but will give Mr. Van Du ren's administration its support as far as it con scientiously can. With all our heart we wish our friend success in his attempt to establish a daily paper, and hope ere long to see the "Times" itself again on the subject of Anti-Masonry. We find the following in - a late number. the Daily Times: The principle of 'Secret Association'still haunts the coun'ry; and though its power is crimpled at the North, where its evils have been fully exposed,and subjected to the con demnation of public opinion; yet in some parts of the Union, secret combinations continue to work mischief among the pen ple,and even plot treason against the coun try, as may be seen by the following ex tract from the Columbia, South Carolina. Hive, of the 24th December— Parents and Guardians, Beware—lt is said that in several of the Colleges, the stu dents form societies, in which an oath of se crecy is taken,and principles inculcated hos tile to the Federal Government: hence the reason why so many of the Graduates are enemies to the Union I Better that your sons should never enter such institutions, than to have their consciences stained with with wicked oaths. 0-_:We are glad to perceive that the traitorous conduct of Strong cf Co. has aroused the Anti- Masonic journals. .We have no room this week, but shall extract largely from them in our next. ARRIVALH AT THE PORT OIF NEW YORK. IN 1836.—The total number of Vessels which arrived at the Port of New York during the last year, was 2,293—being 250 more than in 1835. The number of foreign passengers arrived dur ing the same year was 60,541—being 25,231 more than in 1835. ILtuntsnunou REPORTER.—The editor of the Harrisburgh Reporter, in his last pa per, says that Anti-Masonry is "defunct in Pennsylvania." In another editorial article in the same paper, the eJitor laments that a respectable gentleman has, since his previ ous publication, been "sacrificed upon the altar of Anti-Masonry?" The demise of Anti-Masonry, then,must have been sudden, and In the midst of its full strength and pow er, or some persons must be so weak that they are overpowered by shadows. Persons who set truth at defiance are sel dom consistent. But the assertion of the editor first above mentioned is certainly en titled to credit. The editor said the same thing four years ago, and has regularly re peated his assertion after every annual elec tion! But if this proves his consistency, it also shows that he is afraid of ghosts.— S'mething in the shape of Anti-Masonry has frightened the editor prodigiously sever al times during the last four years, and on one occasion he was considerably hurt!

SArrrA ANIVA.-At the last accounts the President of the Mexican Republic was still at Lexington (Ky.) detained by indisposi tion from proeecUting his journey to Wash ington, where he is to use his mediatoral of fices in procuring the recognition of Texian independence.

On the question of agreeing to the report, the yeas and nays were not called for, which is to be regretted, for on a quce. tion ofso much moment--one involving the right of personal liberty, the vote of each member should be recorded.

Look Mere! THE subscriber wishes to inform his pat rons, and others who may wish to pat ronize him in future, that he has recently purchased Mr. Callihan's Patent Right for the use of his valuable improvement in mak ing Spring-scat Notwithstanding the prejudices against these Saddles heretofore, he feels justifiable in saying, that he hopes to gain the confi dence and patronage of the public—as he is enabled, on the present principle, to ensure all his saddles without any extra charge.— That a soft, easy saddle is desirable to all persons who ride much, and particularly to those who may not be favored with a very pleasant horse; I presume all persons will unhesitatingly patronize the spring saddles, when they will be ensured as long as the purchaser may deem necessary. The elasticity ofthe Saddle•acting in ha r many with the symetry of the horse and rider, not only affords ease to the man, hut incalculable advantage to the horse. All persons of judgment and experience must know, that a dead, unelastic weight on a horse is oppressive. The Spring in the Girth affords the following advantages: Ist Moving or yielding with the horse's chest in breathing, no cramps or cholics or any dis ease can rise therefrom. 2d. The girth will outlast two or three of the common kind, because the yielding of the spring on the sud den expansion of the chest prevents the girth from breaking, and saves the rider from fall ing; many falls have been the fruits of break ing girths. GENTLEMEN and LADIES are invi ted to apply, as the little difference in the cost of these and the hard Saddles is so tri fling, and incomparable with the difference in comfort and safety. N. B.
