A copy of the questions, 1 Isbell! append to this letter, and shall give to ~',them, in plain language, an unreserved re. Yernrut me, however, to premise, that you might well have inferred, by a .close observation 'of the votes I have given, ifor the last two years, what my reply would .be, unless my mind.had recently undergone ~ , ciame.change. There has been with me no Amine of mind, upon the oubjects to which qua 'have respeetively .called my attention. Bytlie Bth section of the Lot article of thb constitution of the ;United States, "Con- grpos ihall-have power to exercise exclusive ~.kgislation, in all cases whatsoever, over • olah dishict, not exceeding-ten miles square, ate may, by cession of particular States, and •-thei acceptance thereof by Congress, be come the'setit of government of the United filtatesP . 4 have neverbeen able to reconcile my- self to the belief Ahat . ali cases whatsoever meant any thingleas than all eases; or that ,exclusive le. a islation would admit of the idea of a concurrent .powersot legislation; and I have consequently never been able to ques ikon the power of Congress to abolish ;hp Aery in the District of Columbia. ' Right; however, is not necessarily incl.- :dental to power; and the power to do en act ` darts not, on all occasionr, and under all cir nemetinces, confer the right to do it. Con gresirlitive this power, and, in my opinion, :have are° the right, whic4b can be exercised only injustice to the righte of others, with , iciut impairingon the smallest degree, their right., under the constitution, or the law of the land. or disturbing them in the enjoy *eat of the same. Disguise it' as you may, slavery is, in the ' biguage of some of the must distinguished OM 311 the slave-holding States, a moral, emit, and political:evil; and whenever and wherever $ can be abolished, without en tailing upon the community an evil as great or greater than slavery itself, it ought to he • abolished; Unfortunately for us, it exists et this moment in the District 'of Columbia, worst form. There is no slave-hold- I . nt &stain the Union, and perhaps no col , coy of any European power, where, at this time, its evils are so great; much has been alone in the last forty years for the amelio- Wipe-of the condition of the slave in every SW* in this Uoion; but little, very little, in 114 District of Columbia. i• - ::The slave there is subject to, and punish ' : not as they runs exist in Mary ' .` laud awl Virginia, but as they did exist in these States before the removal of the seat cf*statritnent.

I have no hesitation in saying That Con• gress should sustain unabridged the right of the people te - pet►tioe for the abolition of slavery and the slave trade ►n the District of Columbia, and upon. all , subjects over which they have jurisdiction. The right to petition ought not, in any manner to be abridged, and cannot be, so long as we are a free people, or ours is a free Government. Such members of Congress whose constitu ents-view slavery in the District, of Colum bia in the same light I do, should sustain, by their influence and votes, all petitions for the immediate abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia; connecting with ouch abolition such protection and security of the rights of slaveholders, in and out of said District, as are guaranteed by the constitu tion of the United States. To the journals of the House, for the last Iwo years, / might with propriety refer you for my opinions upon the annexation of Texas to the United States. I will, how ever, upon that subject, now add, that I never would vote the annexation of that State to the United States—slavery at the time being tolerated therein; and, as at pre sent advised, I would not vote for the an• nexation under any circumstances. When this takes place, it must be with the view to tho taking of Texas into the Union as a country out of which one or more States -are to be formed, and to be admitted into our confederacy. I am not prepared to say that this can be done without an infractioi. of the constitu• tion; and certainly not without gross injus tice to the original States, diminishing their relative force, political power, and influence. You have now Inv views Upon all the subjects you have submitted to my consid eration. They are my views, and not given for the occasion, or for political effect; they are the same which I have long entertained, And at all times fiilly expressed. They are my views; and in regard to them, it mutters not with nit? whether, in this State, or in the Union, I stand alone, am_ with or against the majority. But, to - satisfy you that they are not new views or opinions, I might, in addition to my recent votes, for confirmation of what I have said, confidently appeal to my friend, who was my colleague in the last Congress, .and to one, at least, honorable friend of another State, a member of the same Con gress, with whom I was on terms of the closest intimacy, and with whom I have fre. quently discussed all those questions which .have been submitted by that highly respec stable association and order . whose .organ you are.

Yearly Meeting .of Frie.nds.(that portion of the society known by the title of orthodox) at its last session published an Address to the citizens of The _United states ori the eubieet of slavery. Nathaniel Cramhaw, a member of the ginia yearly Meeting, who was present, deeming it a document,so calm in its appeals rind so mild yet firm in its language, as to be calculated to do good to the cause of universalliberty, voluntarily .undertook to circulate -1000 copies in that state. For thus excercising the right of a freeman, which even in many monarchies would not be called in question, the respectable indi vidual has been thrown into prizon,hail hav ing been refused him. it is further stated that he will "probably be sentenced to seve• ral years imprisonment in the Penitentiary," and that "the Governor of Virginia has de- Mended of the Governor of Pennsylvania that the signers of the address, Jonathan Evans, W m. Evans, and Thos. Evans,should be given up in order to bo tried for the offence [what offencel] by the laws of the stale!"— Such an impudent demand, will, we opine, meet with a spirited rebuke from the inde pendent and patriotic Governor of this state, who let others do as they may, will never "basely bow the knee to the dark spirit of slavery."—Norrtstown Free Press. Miss Martineau's Opinion of Free-Masonry. FREEMASONRY .(says Miss Martineau) was once piipular in the United States; and I no-one seemed to think any harm ofit,though when it is examined it clearly appears an institution INCOMPATIBLE WITH TRUE IiEPUBLICANISM. The ac count given of it by some friends of mine, formerly' Masons, is,that it is utterly puerile in itself; that it may be dignified under a despotism, by an application to foreign ob jects, but that it is PURELY MISCHIEV. OUS IN A REPUBLIC. Its object, of course,. is POWER. it can have no other; and, ought not to have this, where the mak ing of the laws is the office of the people.— Its interior obligations are also V/OLATIONS OF TUE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE. All this was as true of Masonry twelve years ago as it is now; but Masonry was allowed to spread fur and wide. One Morgan, a Free-Mason living in the western part of the state of N. York, did a remarkable deed, for which va rious rpotives are assigned. He wrote a book I in exposure of Masonry, its facts and ten dencies. When the first part was printed and secured, some Masons broke into the printing office where it was deposited, and destroyed as much of the work as they could lay hold of. Being partly foiled, they be thought themselves of stopping the work by carrying off the author. He was arrested for a trifling debt, (probably fictitious) con veyed hastily to a magistrate,some miles on; who committed him for want of bail. The ostensible creditor arrived at the jail, in the middle of the night, and let him out; four or five men put him into. a carriage, which made for the Canada frontier. On landing him on British ground, the Masons there re fused to have any concern in a matter which had gene so far, and Morgan was shut up in the fort at Niagara Village, where the Ni agara river flows into Lake Ontario. There he was fed and guarded for two days. Thus fltr, the testimony is express; and concern• ing the succeeding circumstances there is no reasonable doubt. lie was put into a curried put Into the middle of the rip- er . and thrown iti, With a Stone tied to hii neck. _ For-6716r 'Teri there were attempts to bringthe conspirators to jUstiee.. but little was done.

Masons of Mercer county, as containing the principles and speaking the language of the great.

CRE'TOATHBOUND ASSOCIATIONS Resolved, That this convention view with regret and disapprobation, the policy pur sued by the Administration of the General Government; because, in their opinion., the present prostration of national commerce, the almost total expulsion of Gold and Sil ver from the circulating medium, and the extaordtnnry increase of bank issues, are the legitimate Offinringa of That parent of mischief the "EXPERIMENT." Resolved, That a sound, permanent, and well.regulated zurrency, is essential to the welfare of every country, and lies at the foundation both of national and individual prosperity. Resolved, That the interference with the currency, by the lute executive of the Na• 'tional government, was UNCALLED FOR by the condition of the country, UN WA RR ANTED by the Constitution, TY RA NNICAL in its character, and CA LA • MITO.US in its effects upon the industry and commerce of the PEOPLE. Resolved, That all interference by the State Legislatures with the general cur rency, is impolitic and UNCONS'rITU TIONAL; and that this Convenfion consi• der the refusal of Gov. Ritner to call an extra session of the Legislature, for the purpose of regulating the money market, a dcciszon founded .on wisdom and correct policy. Resolved, That the idea of a PURELY NI ETA LLIC - CURRENCY IS PRE -POEITIEROI.3IS is.r4o ADMIEtnt-and that such a currency is utterly INADEQUATE 'TO 'PIE WANTS of a commercial, man• ufacturing, and agricultural people. Resolved, That this convention cordially approve a the reasons assigned by Gov. Ritner for withholding his sanction from the mammoth improvement bill, passed at the last session of the Legislature; and that, in the opinion of this convention, that ex traordinary bill was framed purposely to destroy the present administration; thus sacrificing the interests.of the people at the shrine of ambition. Resolved, That, to secure to the people the benefit of the judicious and enlightened policy of the present State administration, it is incumbent on them to elect Represeu tativesfriendly to its measures.

The present amount of banking capital in the Unit , d States is $378,421,168, of which 5111,192,268, was created from the revo lution up to the time that Gen.

From the Now York Transcript. Job Printing. "Job never had such a barrel of beer " OLD Soso. "Mister I want to speak a word with you, if you please," said n countrified looking fellow, in a striped smock frock and armed with a hickory ox.gad nine feet long. "Very well," said the printer who was thus addressed, "I'll attend to you." "In the first place, then," said the coun tryman, "I wish to know if your naind is Job Printing. "No, my name is Isaac Smith," replied the printer. "You're not the man I want to see then," returned the countryman. "It's Mr. Job Printing I called to talk with." "There's no such man here," said the printer. - "That must he a lie," said ho of the ox gad, "begging your pardon for saying so.— Btit I know it's a lie, "cause I see his name on the sign." "His name on the sign? Oh—ny—l see the mistake now." "There's no mistake, Mister. I can spell as well as any other man of my age,in Skunk's Misery, or any other part of Long Island. In the first place you see, 1 went to school -to Master Brown, an almighty smart fellow. He could spell any thing that was ever made of letters. The next I went to school to Master Grimes, "That good old man, We never shall see no more, He used to wear an old grey coat, All toggled up belore." "Well, Mister, Master Grimes 'was a smasher among the small words. Why,sir, he'd make no bones o'spelling words of t hree synnables—such as jack knife, hoes block, luminary, and sich like." 'How did he spell jack•knifelor instance? asked the printer. "How!" exclaimed the man from Skunk's Misery; "why how does any fool spell WI-- Why, I'll tell you. • He spelt it in this way— j-a.k, jak, n i-fe, wife, jakmfe. But as I was laying, my next master was Squire Gibbs. He was a great deal tougher, in the way of knowledge, than either of the toth ers. There was'at nothing, seemingly,that he did'nt know. He could fill up a deed, containing`more'n a thousand acres of kuid, in less.than halfa day; and for making writs and sick like transmogrtfications, there was'nt his equal to be found within twenty miles of Skunk's Misery. And do you know, iu the way of spellin' and readin' he was a whole team. But what was it I called in heici'for? Oh! to see Mr. Job Printing.— Is he within or ain't he?" "You mistake the word on the sign," said the printer. "It's job, and not Job, printing." "That's another stretcher, begging your pardon. Can't I spell, do you think, after going to so many masterd! J.o.b, if that don't spell Job, then there's no truth in thu Old Testament." "So it doe-;, and it spells job too." "Now Mistergyou think to rub me down with soft soap, you've got n hard subject to deal with, I can tell you.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—We learn from the Warren Bulletin that a most daring robbery was committed on the turnpike loading from Mercer to Butler, ten miles from the former place, on the night of Sat urday the 15th ult. upon a Mr. Cowden. It appears he was riding along, when a footpad met him, and seizing his horse by the bridle, demanded his money: upon which Mr. C. drew a pistol on the villain, hut it flashed in the pan. Two accomplices of the lobber then sprang from the side of the road, and fired at Mr. Cowden; but for without injuring him. They then knocked him from his horse, robbed him of about fifteen lmndied dollars, and left him for dead.

SCHOOLS—GOVERNORS WOLF AND RITNER.—We notice that some of the anti• Van Buren papers of the interior are discussing with their Opponents the question of credit, touching She public schools. If a Rimer paper Claims all fir its favorite, the anti Ritner antagonist says that taxes must follow. This of course is wrong—no taxes are necessarily conseltient upon the system.

From the day of his inauguration to that of his retiring from office, he was constant in his friendship, arid zealous in his support of schools. Ho had no such aid in the Legis- ture as Mr. STsvnris, and no such fuvoru. hie circumstance as the chartering of the United States Bank, presented for furthering his wishes. In the course of conversation a few weeks since, with Mr. Burrows,,i,lie Secretary of State and superintendeN Of public schools, we were struck with the i cancior of that gen tleman towards Mr. Wolf,.to whom he gave the highest praise, for•sillidy, earnest and effective exec lions, in the behalf of public schools.

VANITES have become sick of their SHIN-PLASTER currency! They are calling meetings, and lugging in their opponents to help them to pass "patriotic" resolutions against SHIN-PLASTERS!" What a scheme! As our friends can "'get along very well without their company, we hope they will let the SHIN PLASTER men hold their own meetings, and pass their own resolutions. The Democratic Anti-Masons and Harrison men WERE AL WAYS OPPOSED TO THE SHIN-PLAS TER CURRENCY OF THE VAN BUREN PARTY, and need not now meet with their enemies to denounce what they had no hand in bringing about. The 'proper way is to meet to gether and denounce the Maswzie Van Buren party, FOR FORCING THEIR ROTTEN CURRENCY UPON US. It is a MASONIC VAN BUREN EVIL, and let the responsibility of Mat evil rest with those who brought it into existence. .111 Pitiful Resort! oj-MAJoit Grow VEII, of the Compiler, fearing that his own people aro not willing to place him in nomination for the Senate, endeavors to create a sympathy in his own behalf by writing letters to himself denouncing the Star for ab , ring him self, (that is, the afdiesaid MajOr!) Wo shall not attempt to retaliate upon an individual guilty of such meanness; but will merely say, that no per ' non has discontinued our paper on account of its "course towards Andrew G. Miller, Esq." And tho present attempt to injure us for the benefit of that individual will prove abortive. -,•- For a proper estimate of the Major and his etibisalbere, see the letter in tmothor col . umn from our witty correspondent, Jecs Dow- XXXO. ri4inla Republican. a.Our . respected friend of the above paper (a very 'efficient organ of its party, by the bye,) has given .us a " passing word," awl bidden us a "farewell!" And in that "farewell" he has imi tated the "Old Chief" who recently "farewelled" the people in general, and "Old Nick" in particu lar. Our "brother" rails at us, Anti-Masonry, and Abolition, in his usual peculiarly happy way! Wo shall not undertake to imitate the style and language of ono who boasts of treading "in the footsteps of such a man as Edward Livingston;" but, in our humble way, endeavor to "do up" a "farewell" in return. To begin, then, we do most cordially agree with the editor of the Republican that the whole soul of the great and good WASHINGTON was truth; and that ho was incapable of entertaining one opinion and of advocating another. But that he “lived and died a Mason," (in the true sense and meaning of the word,) and was "an officiating Master of a Lodge up to the time of his death," we do most heartily deny, and pronounce the asser tion a vile calumny upon the life and character of that good man ; a calumny which has long ago been proven to be such. by the greatest men in the Union. The editor says he can produce 4 , l.tyrao NV ITN 6SS xs:::lo prove his assertion. Let him do it. Let us see treay.illcome forward and personally testify to the IMPOSITION palmed upon the young man who boasts of having clinibed "to the summit of Ancient Masonry!" No one, wo venture to predict, .and that confidently too, will be so fool hardy. The Editor of the Republican says ho has "gone to the summit of Ahcient Masonry, and in the true principles of Masonry, sees every thing that is praise worthy and commendahle—nothing to condemn or disapprove.". This, we opine, is going much further in behalf of the -.Hand-maid!' than was expected in this en lightened day—and especially by one who boasts of having climbed to the "summit" of ~Torn-Fooler y." Wo can account for it in no other way than according to the declaration of an amiable gentle man now deceased, that "he never knew any great Mason who was not at the same time a very GREAT FOOL!" . We would ask the Editor of the Republican, Is it “praise-wortby and commendable” in an Insti tution to impose on its devotees obligations which it declares to be paramount to all others? Oblige . dons which bind those taking them to withhold the truth in Courts of Justice when a brother is to be screened from the Law? Obligations which compel one brother to extricate another from all .did iculty oright or wrong?" Obligations'.which .require a Mason to keep all the secrets of a broth ,or, "murder and treason not excepted?" Obliga tions which enjoin a preference for a "brother" _before all other candidates for offices of trust or profit, without respect to his qualifications? Is it upraiseivmrthy and commendable" to defend and applatulAi Institution which carves a Bacratnen t4l cup li'o4:allunian Skull? Which mimicks Jetiortai n the Burning Bush? Which professes to Perftir ei the Resurrection of our Saviour? An Institution, in short, which attempts to us p the powera and work the miracles of Heaven? hich has trampled all the laws of God and of ma un derfoot—ftinvaded the peaceful sanctity ofthe firs . . side, and robbed a wife of her husband and child ren of their father! Which has committed a cruel and heartless murder ution an unoffending citizen, and protected end shielded hismurderers from the just vengeance of outraged laws! If in such an Institution, the Editor of the Re publican can see ' , nothing to condemn or disap= prore," he is right in applauding "Ancient Mason ry." If ho knows all these things to be true of the Institution, wo envy him not his love of vera city and respect for the intelligence of his readers; and do most sincerely pity him when we hear bin exclaim that he sees nothing in the principles of Masonry but what is “praise-worthy and com mendable." With respect 'to the "proclamation" of the res pectable Superintendent referred to, the only copy we saw was embodied in a communication publish ed In the Free Press—and if the words quoted by us were not in it,wc aro confident the words " Horse- Races, Mciror and uTRrn processions" were. One circumstance we distinctly recollect, and that, too, to the shame of the Republica n=-there was no reply to, nor defence made against, the censure cast up on the worthy Superintendent by the writer for the Free Press!!! The Republican was dumb— it did not JARS to defend its patron! One word more, and v(e leave our "brother," for the present: Our opinions of the "true prin ciples of Masonry" were formed long before we came to this State. And although wo may have enemies enough among our former "brethren" ready to detract from our "good name," yet we be lieve there are others there also who, "born and bred" as it were, with us, can testify, that we are and ever have been incapable of violating any moral or lawful obligation to gain selfish ends or to promote interested views. P. S. Wo have copied, for the benefit of our "brather" of the Republican, an extract from Miss MARTINEAU ' S late work on American customs, &c. We hope he will read it without abusing the fair author. 'Gov. CA:4l'llEl.i of Virginia ut a dinner given to him by a number of his friends, gave the follow ing sentiment as illustrative of his present views: "Hard money for our common transac tions, bank notes equivalent to specie for the commerce of the country." VOU THE GETTYSLIORON STAR AND DANNER. Downing Correspondelice. To ICIMBOD surarsom up at Saco. DF:AIL UNCLF.,I think as how its like as not I shall have to leave these parts afore long, as the Major says in the "Compiler" I'm porsecutin on him, writin these letters; and I'm cruel fraid I shall be Limited, as they call it, if I don't take the slide, for the Major's a great friend to Lynch Law, stein ho understands it better than any other sort. Now, as I told you in my last letter—which folks say was a mazin slick one, stein it was the first—that the major's a party cute feller, though sorter slimy; and if tho letter, in the Compiler which he writ to himself don't prove it, I'm no kin to the Downings. You don't git the Compiler up at Saco, and I reckon you han't - much idear what its like from haven hearn tell on it. They say down hero the yankees are slickish like about "no tions" and other sich things, but I swow it would be somathin I havent beam tell on for a yankee to git writin letters to himself about folks a perse cutin on him! I rather sorter reckon this would be a new "notion" for a yankee! But I'll jilt tell you how this was; the major felt sorter streaked when ho seed my• letter, which they put in the "Star," so he sets down and writes a letter to him self, of which I send you a copy: •‘AUGIUST 4th, 1837. "Dzwit MAJoa—Please send the Compiler, your paper, to the five named persons below. (I 'apose he meant [lades, as I think sick a paper would suit to there.) Semi, of them have been subscribers to the "Star,' but become dissatisfied with its abusive course and stopped it. The course of that paper towards Major meets with the disapprobation of the peo ple generally. Newspaper ulnae of an individual must sink the paper and the party that resorts to it. If the Compiler continues its DECENT!!! course, it will be taken by more iu this part of the country. Some of them have paid In advance. I will take the money with me iu Court week. Yours, Ste. MAJOR -." The following are the subscribers the major sent himself: MR. NAUGHT, MR. NAUGHT, MR. NAUGHT, MR. NAUGHT, MR. NAUGHT. Sum total Now, as I told you afore, I'm ho great hand at ,Sypherin, but I reckon I've got the right answer to the major's sum; but for fear he wont untorstand it I'll do it accordin to Seth Sage's Rules, which I have never beam to fail. But afore. I give you the work, I must explain some of the sines, as Seth used to call thorn. X moans multiplied by that is ono doubles in to tother so many times—as 5 times 2 is 10 (accordin to the multiplication table,)— That is, 5 times 2 which is 10, is the same as 5X2 which is 10. 0 The number of subscribers No subscribers at $ 2 a piece -0 X 2 • The amount received of the above subscribers! The above sum is done, by sypherin; but to make sure that its right,l got Mr.— to do it by Algibry, and ho jist brings it out the same. I send it to you jist as ho worked it, so you may see theres no mistake: LetX=nothingr.s, which equals tho hull. And Yr:: -_nothin. Then X=YtnothinXs Y=X—nothin- . .-5 SM - _ - _X - fnothin aothiu - . But X=nothinXs=--nothing nothin. Then Y. 5 The number of subscribers is then, according to Algibry ,nothin divided by five! T n othin hen nothin gives us the amo't rec'd! Now, I spose the major will be convinced, when -ho casts up these sums accon'in to Gunter or Dil worth, that he didnt make much by the subscribers which he sent himself. But he's party cute mind. I tell you, or it wouldnt take syphorin and algibry both to ketch him! As I told you at the boginen of my letter.l think its like as not I shall be off from this in sh . ort roo ter; but there's a good many folks down hone that I should like to draw the likenesses on; and sich pictars, I guess you never seed as you'd see then! KAI:\ Sage, our old school mastor,who you know, was perty much of a traveler, and who had hearn tell of 4J UnrCh as most a folks, used to say, that his school-horsse:waa a plater of the world. I lON ho mearitrhat the'school-house was like the world, and the scholars like the folks in it; but I center:* how that Is nether, (of them as has written about it, says the world is round, and our old school ! , house was as near about square as uncle Jack's tobacco box afore , aunt Nabby got him to grind off the corners to keep it from wearin out his trou sers pockets? But about the scholars bein like the folks, theta as true as a garment! There was Mordecai Crabapple, the Squire's Son, you know, ho wam't bigger than nine-pence, but ho was a leetle the crabedesl critter sure enough that ever I did see, and Seth Sage used to say, that Providence must have loft tho makin on him to a journyinan, awl that when he was finished, ho was cooled off' in vinegar! I guess if the clay he was made of—for the bible says we're all made of clay—had been made up into snakes, they'd a been ;main cross, pison ones. Now I met with a !cella feller down here that when I first seed I mow I thougl.t was Mot Crabapple; he was jist about the bigness, and by hokey, I think they must have swept tempers, for this critter flies like glass when ever you touch it, and sometimes when you dont! He'd be shockin cruel I'm a thinken,if he found out that I meant him; so I should say no more for fear ho knows himself, and gits snakey! Your lovin neffew, Jack Downing, Jr. P. S. I reckon as how I shell make tracks aforo I write to you agin, for I'm crud fraid I shall git into trouble with the Major, or the !cattle fellow I took for Mot, but wasn't llfol at all! S. D.
