A shriek of joy and astonishment burst from Cephiso, as she threw herself into the arms of her Mother. Need we say Cephise, or rather Evelina, be came the happy and well-portioned wife of the gunsmith of Orleans. NOT ArreiNAßLE.—Some of the. Whig papers advise that Mr. Van Buren, who is a widower, and a considerably spruce dandy, should go to England and offer his hand to the young queen, where, if successful, he could exercise the functions of royalty much longer than the people will permit here, while he can be spared without the least injury to any of our national interests. The end is not attainable. Perhaps her youthful majesty might be captivated with the display of irredeemable bank paper and shin-plasters which the Prince Royal of flumbuggery could present, as the currency his wisdom has restored to his country; but the Acttii , -questioning and calculating John Buliewould never sanction an alliance with linn game. John and his subjects have no 'relish for humbugs, or for any glory but that which brings the substance. They leave such things to brother Jonathan, who delights to - run after pretty bubbles and fancy them substances, as they float before his enchanted vision.—Fred'k Examiner. Major Jack Downing, of Downingville, who went to Europe some years since, and has been killed some dozen times on this side of the Atlantic, notwithstanding has re• turned to this country, in his favorite vessel the Two Pollies, Capt.

MERCERSBURG, Franklin County. Pa. July 28, 1837. To the Editors of Newspapers, Chamharsbnrg— GEs correct any reports which may go abroad unfavorable to tho credit of our town, we beg leave to state through your column; that Mr. BLANCHARD has lately visited this place fur the purpose of conversing with our citizens, and, if agreeable to their wishes, lecture on the subject of Slavery. We hoard Mr. Blanchard express his views at some length, in private conversation with different persons, and saw or hoard nothing in his manners or doctrines contrary to strict decorum and the word of God. Many of our respectable citizens were willing to hear him lecture on the all impor tant subject of American Slavery, but owing to some difficulty in obtaining a room,no lecture was appointed. Under such circumstance; it is with great pain that we have to confess that last evening, while Mr. Blanchard was returning from listening to a sermon from the Rev. Mr. Jones, in the Methodist church, he was somewhat severely injured in his person, by a brutal mob of ignorant persons, idle boys, &c. instigated, we have reason to fear, by evil disposed persons, from whom other things might have boon expected. The authorities of the borough wore, however, immediately called and the snob dispersed.we trust never more to assemble in our hitherto peaceful town. We take this occasion to say to our fellow-eiti. zens of this county, that while wo are in no way connected with the abolitionists, we cannot but look with unfeigned alarm on this systematic,and to us dreadful attempt to stifle, nv Mon. LAW, free discussion on the subject of Slavery or any other subject. We would just add, that we hope shortly to see the participators in the above mentioned affray brought to answer to the insulted dignity of the civil Law. ALEXANDER. SPEER, J. O. CARSON. Taos.

August 9th, 1837. 7o the Editor of the Star and Republican Banner. Damn. Szn:—Those of your readers whose ac quaintance I had the pleasure of making, will be glad to learn that we have just organized an Anti- Slavery Society at this place, under favorable aus pices. Twenty-seven 'gave in their names at first, but the list will immediately be almost indefinitely swelled; as the inhabitants of Quincy and vicinity are for the most part Abolitionists, many of them by religious profession. The haters of Freedom and the poor in this County, have evinced a malignity and daring con tempt of the laws beyond all ordinary crime. At Mercersburgh,a notice of which you probably gave your readers, some men boldly avowed their in tention to set the laws of the country at defiance, and answer my, arguments with brute force! The Students of Marshall College from the South, ma ny of whom wear concealed weapons, gave a fine specimen of the government we must shortly be under, when, by the addition of more Slave-States, our Congreeis will be in the hands of a Southern majority, and the men who we send their will have to speak and vote under the dirks and pistols of Southern chivalry! The Editor of the Franklin Repository sets it down among the “bitter fruits of Abolition," that a Southern Student was suspen ded and ordered to leave town in forty-eight hours, merely for attacking me with stones, eggs, etc. when 'I was returning quietly from listening to a sermon in a place where I had not lectured nor appointed a lecture. This Student had been a member of college but a very short time, and yet he had once stripped, and with abusive language, endeavored to provoke another student to fight The same Editor of the Repository tells his rea ders, that "objections to a further continuation of their (the Abolitionists) labors in this county are becoming, it may be feared, too general for the restraints of law." !!! This is the second time that Editor has given the whole influence of his paper for tho encourage- Mont of open brute resistance to the civil lawl— How long the people will be in perceiving that in so doing he is exposing their own houses to the relentless fury of any enemy who has wealth enough to hire' a mob to tear them down, I cannot say. I have met with many who have stopped his paper, and I predict it will soon fall into total neg lect. In my judgment, an Editor who abuses his power of biasing the public mind, to encourage,a mob on any occasion, however guilty the object of it,is guilty of a crime no less heinous than ordinary burglary. But in this case, the Repository had the testi mony of five of the first citizens in Mercersburgh, of both political parties, that there was nothing in my manners or doctrines, so far as they had heard me in several conversations, "contrary to strict de corum or the word of God:' This declaration, signed by Ments. SPEER, CARBON, BAUD, HAAT rind M'Do w sm., the Repository published, yet in the face of such men declares that my labors are so generally odious es to warrant, (fin this is his meaning) the disregard of all law for my punish meat!

Voice of Old Berks. alp-A great meeting of the Democratic Anti-Ma sons, and others opposed to the Van Boren Shin• Pbster party, was held in Beading a few days since, at which the subjoined resolutions were unanimonsly adopted: Resolved, That we, as Pennsylvanians and tax payers, condemn the course pursued by the last Van limen Legislature of this State, in refusing to discharge a part of the enormous State Debt, which was urged and recommended by the friends of tbe pniient administration. Resolved, that Joseph Ritner has won himself golden honors, from the able, manly, and oconom. Mal manner in which ho has administered the affairs of this great commonwealth, and for his ardent devot.on and groat vigilance over the dear. est rights and interests of the people of this State, and fur his zealous support of the republican insti. lotions of our country, and hearty co.oporationa with the people to sustain the "Supremacy of the Laws." Resolved. That the simple act alone of Joseph Raiser in vetoing the MAMMOTH IMPROVEMENT Rim, at the time when the General Government had struck a blow at the currency of the country, is sufficient proof of his wisdom and foresight; and that by this act alone ho has preserved the State from ruin and bankruptcy, and defeated the object of an unprincipled faction, who would bar. ter away our rights and liberties to secure thoir own advancement and interest. Resolved, That we look to the Anti. Masonic National Convention for the nomination of a can. didate for the Presidency who possesses all the necessary qoaliScations as a statesman, diplomat. ist. and soldier; and that in such a man we recog nit.. GENERAL WILLIAM HENRY HAIL RLSON. Resolved, That tho delegate appointed by tho Anti-Masonic State Convention to represaat this county an tho National Convention which is to as. tremble at Washington,on tho 2d Tuesday in Sop. tember next, be instructed to vote for the nomina. Lion of GENERAL WILLIAM HENRY HAR RISON as the candidate. for President, who is the only man that can save the country, which is now in the bands of a sot of reckless, unprincipled, and timeserving politicians, who are alike re. godless of the interests and woll.beiug of this Union. Resolved, That we regard it a sacred duty of every friend of our republican Government to oppose the re-election of Martin Van Buren fel. the Presidency, believing that to him and his predecessor must be attributed the present unheal thy state of our currency, which has flooded our country from one end of the Union to the other with Shin-Plasters, a currency which is truly Jacksonian, and which our opponents cannot and dare not deny. Convention of Business Men. A convention of "business men," from different portions of the Union, without distinction of party, stet in Philadelphia on tho Ist inst. "for the pur pose of a full and candid exchange of sentiments, and a thorough investigation of the present dis tressed condition of our business community, gen erally." The following Report, adopted with great unanimity, constitutes the principal result of its deliberations: REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. The Mechanics, Manufacturers, Agricul. turalists and business men of all classes,from different sections of the United States, rep. resented by delegates in Convention at Phil adelphia, the Ist day of August, A. D. 1837, having considered the peculiar embarrass ments to which the country is now exposed, do adopt the following resolutions as expres sive of their opinions on this important sub , ject. Ist. Resolved, That in the prostration of business, the destruction of credit, and the tleraugementrof the currency of the country, a crisis has arrived which demands the cor dial and united co-operation of all classes, denominations, and parties, in devising and executing such measures as in the judgment of enlightened wisdom, are calculated to re lieve the country from existing evils. 2d. Resolved, That it is the part of wis dom and patriotism, in inquiring for the causes of existing evils, to avoid casting cen sure upon others, and with a single aim to seek an adequate remedy. To do this the truth must be presented to the minds of in telligent and upright men, and .an indepen dent judgment must perform its appropriate office. 3d. Resolved, That among the causes of the ruined results in which the business,the enterprise, the industry, and we may add, the happiness of the country, are involved, are the withdrawal of a large amount of mo ney, collected for the public use, from its ordinary business channels, and the come. quent interruption of the usual facilities for the fulfilment of commercial engagements The distribution of a portion of the public revenue among the States, as imposed by the act. of Congress, at points remote from the rlace of its collection—the excessive issues of bank paper and consequent abuse of bank credit—the extensive and rash con tracts in the purchase of land, city-lots, stock*, and other property, in which men of limited resources,in their zeal "to make haste to be rich," have engaged—the neglect of suitable attention to that most useful and most honorable employment, the cultivation of the soil, and as a consequence,the impor tation of large quantities of bread-stuffs— the great excess of importation above our exports, and in this way the contracting of largo foreign debts, the payment of which requires the withdrawal of a corresponding amount of funds from the ordinary channels of business at home—the idleness, luxury and extravagance, in which too many have indulged—the intense political excitement which has pervaded all parts of the country and has subjected every measure to the test of its probable EFFECTS upon party influence, and by which the monied institutions of the axmtry,and the ordinary pursuits of business men, have been involved in the violence of party conflicts. 4th. Resolved, That gold and silver coin constitutes the only constitutional standard for the exchangable value of pay, and the issuing, or continuing as a general acurrency, bank paper which is not redeemable at all times, with the precious metal,is unjust and unequal in' its effects upon the people and subversive of the bast loterests of the com munity. sth. Resolved, That a well regulated and well guarded system of bank credit,by which bills at all times 'redeemable in gold and silver, are made to supply the business wants of the community, constitutes one of- the peculiar characteristics of a free people,and is essentially necessary in promoting their ProsPerity 6th. Resolved, That the great objects of civil government; the promotion of the liar. piness'atbe people, cannot bit attained in the United States': without a well regulated system of protection to all the great business interests in which our citizenb are engaged, and that the system of credit upon impost duties has a tendency to encourage excer. sive importations, and topraduce numerous fluctuations of business; the adoption of the system of requiring.cash for duties would prevent much oftheembarrassment to which the country is exposed, and would be of es sential importance to, all the great interests of the United States. 7th. Resolved, That as the importation of silks during the last year, amounts to more than twenty-three millions of dollars, the promotion of its growth in this country, by the bestowment of such liberal bounties as would secure ite cultivation, would be of the highest importance in diminishing the causes of our foreign debt, and in promoting the agricultural interests of every state in the Union. Bth. Resolved, That the availsof the pub. lic lands,afler making suitable appropriations for education and improvements in the states where they are situated, ought to be applied to the promotion of objects or a public char acter in the several states,according to some just ratio. 9th. Resolved, That the time has arrived when it is the important duty of the Con gress of the United States to exercise their constitutional power ofestablishing a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the Uni ted States. 10th. Resolved, That the citizens of the United States are united in one common in terest, and the various classes and proles slum are mutual by dependent upon each other, and that any efl,rt to excite one class against another, to divide society into lac. lions would be subversive of the fundamental principles of society, and tend to destroy the happiness of all. 11th. Resolved, That in the conflicts of mere partizans contending for the triumphs of party success, and subjecting every pub lic measure to the supervision of party dis. cipline, we discover principles subversive of personal independence, arid ruinous to 'the best interests of the country. 12th. Resolved, That the substantial bless ings which a bountiful . Providence is now showering upon the fields of our agricultural brethern, warn us, as it were in the silent and eloquent language of inspiration,to leave the delusive maze of speculation with. Which all branches of trnde have been mixed up, and return to , : the practice of industry and economy,and to the enjoyment of their solid rewards. From the Harrisburg Intelligencer. General Jackson and the Globe. In the prospectus of the Congressional Globe, the following language is held by this minion of the radical party: 4 , No Democratic Chief Magistrate would con tinue in the condition of things at present existing, to substitute Executive expedients for clearly defined law, springing from the public will." Here is an acknowledgment by the offi cial organ of Van Buren's administration, that GEN. 3Acittant has substituted "EXE CUTIVE EXPEDIENTS for clearly (le• fined lato,_ epring " ing from the public will.' This con f ession is pregnant with meaning; it admits THE WANTON VIOLA. 'IION OF LAW AND CONSTITU TION which we have repeatedly asserted; and it indicates a change in the course of of the present dynasty. The scales have at length fallen from the eyes of the Globe, • and it sees that the people will, not tolerate such reckless violations of their will. That the late President has substituted' his .'own ipso dixit for the law of the land, no honest man can doubt; that the same conduct in the present incumbent will be tamely suffered, is even less doubtful. No other man in this country, placed in the same situation, could have pursued with . impunity the same ruinous track followed by the "Hero." The monarchies of Europe could never have been lulled into passiveness under a similar exercise of the veto power. Scarce. ly a civilized nation in the world wouldhave• thus committed their laws and constitution to the hands of a single man ; yet in this lovely place of liberty, the chietain lords it. When these experiments were tried, the Globe was the first and loudest to sound its piaiee; and , when their consequences are developed, they sneakingly admit and con demn the exercise. The Globe is the base tool of a base party, shifting its course with every wind, guided by no compass but inle. rest. The wily magician of Kinderhook is in power, and it must tack about and sustain him, or lose its hot bed of Govern mental patronage and political corruption. The Aurora, printed in Beaver county, nominates as a candidate for Governor, the Hon. LEWIS ELLIS, and goes on to prove that a better selection than that of Judge Ellis could not be made in the State: Under the impression that the Aurora has reversed the name of his candteate, the Argus thinks " if the Aurora men would reverse the prin ciples, as they have the name of the honor able Jude, he might prove somewhat for. midable. The idea of taking up a, man wrong end foremost, in the true crab lash. ion, is a little too ridiculous, even in these days of "experiments." It is done, we presume, to show that some things may be, done as well as others. "Old Joe" would) thresh forty thousand such fellows all low. He'll blow the best of them sky-high any way they can fix it." "OLD Rum AWAKE.--;ECIV:I4 Stanley (Whig) has beeu elected to Congress hves the Tarborough district, N.

Serious Loss by Lightning. ar3•During the thunder-storm on Tuesday night and.

HAGERSTOWN, August 10. DISTRESSING AND FATAL ACCIDENT.- We are pained in having to record one of the most melancholy and heart-rending ac cidents, that has ever occurred on the route of the national western Turnpike Road.— One of the Stages belonging to Messrs. Stockton and Stokes, which lett this for the west, on Monday Evening, when arrived at "Millstone Point," about twenty miles from this place, between 12 and 1 o'clock in the morning, the fog from the river_ being so dense, and the driver being unacquainted with the road, and the dangerous precipice i adjacent to it, that he was not apprized of his danger, until too late, when in the act ofi endeavoring to turn his horses from the bank, the stage swung round which put the] hind wheels over the edge of the pretivice, ; and in an instant the stage, horses, pirlrien gers add all were precipitated about 40 feet into the bed of the Canal. Mrs.apgke of Louisville, Ky. and a negro girl be np,inr , to her, were instantly kalled,and a Mr. Wal ler from Mobile, Alabama,severely bruised, but possibly may recover. Miss Clarke the daughter of Mrs. C. a young lady of 17 or 18 years of age, and a black woman, the mother of the black child that was killed and , Mr. Dunkell were the only persons that escaped unhurt. The driver was consideta bly bruised but not seriously injured. Two of the horses were killed, the others materi ally injured, and the stage broken into in numerable fragments. Who %!ht to be held responsible for this most fatal catastro phe, we are not now prepared to say, but certain it is, that either the Canal or Turn pike Company ought to have erected a safe and sufficient barrier, for accidents, upon a i scife that was so terrific En its appearance. Immediate measures should be taken to put the road is a safe condition by building a substantial post and rail fence on that ill fated spot, as well as on many other parts' of that road, which are equally dangerous. Since the above was in type we learn that the Superintendant of the Canal, Company has placed barriers at the point sufficiently strong to prevent future acculents[Tarch L . EMIORATION.-It is known that parts of the river St. Lawrence, like the Susque hanna, are studded with a great number of beautiful islands—poets and travellers have celebrated them. A few days since some of these not fast anchored isles, cut loose.— The Ogdensburg Republican says_ "Last week, two islands, belonging to the group known as the 'Thousand Islands,' floated from their moorings and came down the river to this place. The first one came down on Thursday evening, and was towed in about a mile and a half below the village, where it grounded in about six fiset of water: The second made its appearance on Satur day morning, and by the assistance ofa fir vorable wind,was anchored near the brewe ry of the Messrs.

At • respectable meeting. of the' citizens of Franklin township, Adams county, held in put.- seance of I,ublic notice, without distinction of Siemer parties c iit the house of Henry Minich, in said township, on Saturday, the 12th day of Au gust, 1837, Jame Situtz son. was called to the chair, and ISAAC Rum appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting having been stated, (being that of adopting some general measure; of protection, to avoid the evils brought upon the community by the deranged state of the currency) on motion, the following named persons were ap. pointed a committee to draft resolutions expres sive of the sense of the meeting, to wit: .Cept. Frederick Diehl, Robert McMtirdie, eon., Jacob Brcrugh, Jacob Biesecker, jr, and Thomas Mc- Knight; who, having retired for some time, im ported the following, which were -unanimously adopted: 1. Resolved, That we deem it expedient, and recommend to all good citizens, to use every rea r *enable effort for carrying into effect the previa ions of the act of the 12th A,►ril, 1828, which has been broken by a portion of our citizens, ance of right of law, and to enforce said law. 2. Resolved, That we consider unlimited bank. ing, and excessive issues of bank paper an evil of immense magnitude upon the industry of the country, calling loudly for redress; and that ina iiiediate measures fot its correction ought to be adopted; and that we pledge ourselves to go heart and hand with such of our fellow-citizens as may think proper to join with us in our efforts to effect such a change in the banking system as will en. sure to honest industry its just reward, and secure us from all further imposition. 3. Resolved, That when banks, having the pre cious metals of our country locked up in their vaults, whilst we, the people, are holding their paper in lieu thereof, do monopolize the people's rights, and refuse to meet the honest claims of the people, thereby prostrating every right in law, and raising the value of the precious metals be. yond their nominal value, and thereby causing a spurious circulation of paper called Shin Plasters, contrary to law, to be imposed on the people, and paralyzing the best interests of our country, and causing direct distress to the poor laborer—is a fact loudly calling on the people for investigation and actiou against such imposition, on any pre text whatever. 4. Resolved, That wo thus feel ourselves inse. cure in holding any bank note on any bank, or body corporate, unless the stockholders of such chartered corporatithi are jointV and severally bound in their individeal worth, real and personal, for the redemption of all such paper issues by them, instead of brokers setting the valueof such paper and imposing a second imposition on tho people, or the industrious part of tho community. 5. Resolved, That wo disclaim any hostile feeliags or intentions against any individual bank or body corporate.' but against the whole, on ac• count of the heretofore practice of granting char. tern to such institutions, fraught with so much evil, and injurious to the industrious and impor tant interests of our largo and populous country, which ought to be protected. 6. Resolved that we disclaim any design of interfering or mingling any former party politics in this matter, where all parties have heretofore acted alike, and are alike to blame for the evils which have fallen on us; it would be unjust to charge either with the fault. Wo desire to be considered as actuated only by an honest zeal to contribute our mite towards what we conceive to be the good of our country, regaidless of all other considerations whatever. 7. Resolved, That a committee be appointed by the chairman of this meeting to correspond with similar committees, to take such stops and measures as may be found necessary for the better security of the people in the civil right of law, and from further imposition. [The chairman appointed tho , following named persons: Capt. Thomas McKnight, Alexander Caldwell, Esq., Capt. Frederick Diehl, Robert McMardis'. sen., Jacob Biesocker, jr., James K. Wilson, and Jacob Brough.] 8. Resolved that the proceedings of this meet ing be signed by the chairman and secretary, and published in all the papers in the county. JACOB SHULL, Chairman. Luau RIFT.

A fellow some time since exhibited a scull at a fair near London as the skull of Oliver Cromwell.
