What a gran deur does it throw over every step in the redomp. tion of a fallen world, to think of its being done by Him, who unrobcd himself of the glories of so wide a monarchy, and came to this humblest of its provinces, in the disguise of a servant, and took upon him the form of our degraded species, and let himself down to sorrows, and to sufferings,and to death for us. In this love of an aspiring Savior, for those to whom in agony ho poured out his soul, there is a height and depth, and a length and breadth, more than I can comprehend, and let me never, never from this' moment, neglect so great a salvation, or lose hold of an atonement, made sure by Him,who cried that it was finished,and brought in an ever-lasting righteousness.

(3 . - 3-A correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette, who has spent five years in the Western and Southern States, communicates the following re• marks cm the subject of the "Great West:" No history I . presunrre can furnish a par. allel of the rapidity of the growth of any Country. tb that of the Mississippi Valley. Thousands of emigrants are pouring in from every quarter, and are fast peopling a Country that is almost in extent, a world Itself. There is no part of the West that I have soon that holds out stronger inducements to the industrious omi• grant, whether ho be a Farmer, a Merchant or Mechanic than that of the Wabash Valley. The Wabash is a beautiful stream emptying itself into the Ohio nine miles above Shawnetown, and is the boundary line for the States of Indiana and Illinois near the Torre Haute, a distance of 200 miles. The lands aro remarkably fertile and well adapted to the culture of corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, and the usual Farm products of the Northern States. The river bottoms aro well timbered, and the finest, without exception, that I have seen in the West. About four or five miles back from the River, the heavy timber dis. appears, and the Country opens in a most pleasing manner in beautiful praries. The face of the Country ;on the Indiana side) is generally rolling rising and fulling without any break or hollows, but gently rising in swells and undulations the most gratifying to the sight. The high and rol• ling lands of this State are generally healthy; the wet praries and alluyial bottoms are more or less sohjsct to the Fever and Ague and billions coin. plaints, but that the settlers in general have found the State, taken as a whole. favorable to health, the astonishing increase of the population bears sufficient testimony. The Wabash is generally navigable fur Steamboats to Lafayette, a distance of more then 900 miles. from December to June. Its principal tributary (the White river,) connect ing two fine microns, its East and West branches, meandering through a great part of the interior of Indiana, unites them about 30 miles from its junction with the Wabash. Just at the mouth of White river commences the Falls or rapids, which is a great impediment to the navigation of this beautiful stream. A canal is about to be made around them which will be en important benefit to the Country above. At the foot of the Falls, is situated on the Illinois side, a flouriah. l ing town named Mount Carmel, the county seat of-Wabash county; in it are a great many stores, a steam sawmill, and an iron foundry : a week. ly paper is also published hero. From this ~face a rail road has been commenced to connect the Wabash with the Mississippi, its termination to be at Alton, a little below the mouth of the Illi nois river. New Harmony, 28 miles below Mount Catmol, is beautifully situated, on the Eastern Bank of the Wabash, and is 16 miles from Mount Vernon its nearest point to the Ohio river. • Its situation is pleasant and well chosen. It was first settled in 1819 by a religious sect of Germans, : called flarnionites, under the manage ment and Control of George Rapp, to whom his poor deluded subjects looked up as a superior be ing, and in whose name all the lands and•proper ty were held. They erected a great number of spacious buildings, and continued to live and la bor in common until 1824, when the celebrated Robert Owen, of Scotland, purchased their entire possessions for the sum of $190,000 with the idea of establishing a communy, upon the plan of hie '-Social System" and cot responding with his now views of society. His community soon swelled to seven or eight hundred persons, but discord soon arose amongst its members, which caused them to abandon their "social System," and thus fi~ elf Isl►?~ "I -wrsrf NO OTHER HERALD ) NO OTHER MILKER OF MY LIVING ACTIONS, TO KEEP MINE - HONOR FROM CORRUPTION. --SHARI; (lit2WWlZVatil'2l , 2l2ll o LEPetic, tiqnti.l2)Qtl7 0 aLeZPUI,2 l at,Mt22l h acm-4 THEE GARLAND.

A great many of the corn• munity still reside there, amongst whom are four of Mr. Owon's sons. Tho town at present con tains about 750 inhabitants, and is.supported by ono of the richest Farming Countries that I have seen in the West. Land in the vicinity of the town is worth from $lO to $3O per acre A few miles back good cultivated Forms can be purchased from $5 to $lO per acre with all necessary improvements. This made of purcha- sing improved land will be found In moat instan ces to be cheaper than clearing timber land. There is yet a great deal of public land unsold in the neighborhood of the IVabash which may be had at the low price of $1,25 per acre. There id no pail of the U. S. that is bettor adapted to the culture of corn than thi• fl a n valley. 50 bushels to the acre Is an average crop, although 75 and sometimes one hundred bushels are raised. Flax and Hemp are well suited to the soil and climate and is generally a profitable crop. It should be an Important object with the Farmer to locate himself in the neighborhood of some navigable stream where he will have no occasion tq despair of a market for his produce. Hundreds of Farm ers take their own produce to a Sourthern mark et in flat bottom bunts, or as they are commonly called by boatmen ••broad Horns" where they lay In their supplies of Groceries nt 30 per cent. less than they would cost them in the West. Not less than five or six thonsand et thesis boats aro annually taken out of this noble stream, carrying the rich products of their prolific soil to the gloat emporium of the South. A. Y. The eons, if ution. From the American Sentinel, a Van Buren paper Let Weil Alone. No. XL The EXth article of the new constitution, which contains what used to be called '•the bill of rights," is, I find, the same, word for word, with the IXth article of our present constitution ; and I think it is a convincing proof of the excellence of this good old con stitution of ours, that the convention could not find a word to alter or add in this most important part. Here they have LET WELL ALONE indeed; and it is a great pity that they did not do so with other artichis. I wish that every man, before he makes up his mind which way to vote or the snh of ngreeing or disagreeing to lb:, stitution, would read ove of the old constit,..,:i( or there Iv a : .,~ ~ ~,,. ;.~ <. I . I W. fiY" ( " 1 ".. nr I I rind .','W.lrwg whether any of toot her parts of the instru tie likely to work well. The old constitution ends with the INth urttc to; nut added to the now constitution which to my Mind appears n.5... 8 serious and important than any other amendment. Every thinking man, who values his rights raid liberties, must look upon th'e constitution as very solemn and wing lily matter; because it eon• tains all the warranties end guaranties for his life, his liberty, and his property. I would ni t live for an hour in a country where there was not a good written constitution It is like the title deeds that a man has for his real estato, Which he takes great care to hail, properly made; and when he has got them, ho takes great care to keep thorn safe; because ho knows that they aro the eviden ces of his right to the land. Now, what would be thought of a man who would agree that every fivo years his title deeds should be overhauled by other men, and altered as they thought fit? I think that every body would say that such a man's title to the land was not worth much. Now see what sort of security, we have tor our rights and liberties. Hero at the end of' the constitution, after all the Various provisions about the Govern_ or and the Legislature, and the Judges, and the elections, &c. comes an article which says that the whole constitution may be altered every five years, f a majority of two legislatures, and a ma jority of the voters shall agree to it. Mind, it does not say that some particular parte, such as that about the Governor or about tiro Legislature, may be altered, but all and every part of it, even the most Important and fundamental. "What lu (I think I hear some honest men say, who is in favor ofsorne of the amendments proposed in this now constitution,) "do you mean to toll us that all those great principles contained In the IXth arti do, that 'men are born fine and, equal,' that 'all power is inherent in the people,' that 'all men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God, according to the dictates of their own conscience,' that 'trial by jury shall remain as heretotbre,' that 'no cx post facto law shall be made,' and the rest of them, may be abolished or repealed at the end of five years, and a different set put in their plane?" It is oven so my friend! If this now constitution shall be adopted with this additional section about amendments, THERE WILL RE EVERY FIVE YEARS A REVOLUTION IN PENN SYLVANIA ! Every thing from the first to the last nay be altered. The Legislature may ha elec tive for life, or may be abolished altogether ; the Governor may be elected once in six months or in six years; the Judges ninny be appointed for life or not appointed at all, the right of voting may bo confined to freeholders, or extended to all persons, without even pay wont of taxes; the Militia may he wholly ab ! dislied, and standing armies estab fished; and every ono of those groat principles contained in the IXth article which you spe l of, may be abrogated, altered, or modified. There is nothing in the constitution, or in the nature of things to prevent it. There is nothing to prevent ho introduction an DILL ok' wo,oNcsin place o the DILL OF 11.1011T13, and the adoption of the wild ost radicalism, or the most arbitrary doctrines. We muy have, for instance, a provision that no man should hold more than lilly acres of land; and that every five years the land should be divid ed over again; and on the othor hand, there may bo an article providing for an established church and aristocracy. All these things will be within the power of the Legislature, and a majority of the voters. But, you will say, there is no danger of any such things haPponing, since it is not pro. bable that a majority of the people will ever agree to adopt such monstrous provisions. It is not a question of probability, you will recollect; hut whether these provisions. may be made. It is, perhaps, not very probable that they will all ha adopted or even proposed, at first, but by little and little they may come In. And thorn is no danger of their 'ming openly proposed. All theso amendments ate wrapt up In professions of love for the people; and like tho quack medicines that helped to kill the poor Italian, they will ho label. led with some popular name, such as "anti aristo cratic reniedi," "anti •masonic cure," &c. The people will bo told that this little amendment can do no harm, and that little alteration may do good, till by degrees the w bolo faith° old constitution ill bo gone. The first stop will probably bo, in 1844, to cut down the Judges of the Suprorno Court to ton years, and those of the Common Pleas to five, and soon. Then the next five years there may come provision, that the constitution may Le altered every year; and than the steps to the most revolutionary and jacobluical projects are very easy. Still, you soy, as the people have the right to vote Upon all those projects, it- does not follbw that they will bo adopted. That Is perfectli true; but 1 don't like the idea of being In the power of any set of men in respect to such important questions. Besides, every body knows that people who are in favor of reform, as they call it, are always the most activa. Look nt the vote on tho subject of the Convention, which made this now constitution, and that sat no long about it, and cost us so much money. The whole number of votes in laver of the convention, was 56, 5 70. Those against it, 73,166. Total, 159,. 736. At the same tint° a vote was taken for Gov ernor. There wero three candidates. and the to. tal number of votes was 200,113; thereby show. in that mul e than 40,000 persons entitled to vote, did not vote on the question. It is to be prosum• ed that all who were desirous of having a conven• lion voted for it; consequontly there was a major. ity of at least 27.000 agriust ii. Yet the convon tion was carriod. And so it may be every five years, if the Now constitution is adopted. The rolormers, who are always active and stirring, will be out in all their force, while the prudent and old fashioned demo:natio, who are for "letting well alone," will perhaps stay at home, and "let well alone" in all respects ; the consequences of which may be, that avon the wild projects which I have spoken of, may be tolo?ted. I fool very uneasy, theieforo, on the subject of this Dlth article; and sincerely hope that it will not be ratified by Om people. Cottitty elleeting. Great J►leefiug of the People of slidams County!

FREDERICK WOLF, JOHN ELIAS EI3ERT, ISRAEL IRVIN, WILLIAM MORRISON, JACOB CASSAT, Jr. FREDERICK G. HOFFMAN, who reported the following, which wore sub mated to the meeting, and unanimously ' adopted: WIIEREAB, the Gubernatorial election which is to take place on the second Tuesday of October next, is fraught with consequences of the most vital importance to the people of this Commonwealth, ivas• much as upon its result depends the contin uance of that policy which replenished a a Bankrupt Treasury without increasing the burthens of the people; which made produc tive a barren system of Internal Improve ments; reduced the State Debt; repealed the State 'fax ; resisted the unconstitution al interference of tt►e General Government in State Affairs; remedied the misehievious effects of the measures of the latter relative to the currency, and finally brought about a resumption of Specie Payments by the Banks; therefore, Resolved, •!'t u ft we shall hail the re-elec lion of JOSEPH RITNER to tho Guber natorial Chair as the harbinger of the era in the history of the Commonwealth .when the State Debt shall have ceased to exist ; when all the physical and intellectual re sources of the Commonwealth shall be opened up; her great system of Internal I rn• provements completed,and the people reliev . ed from the burthen of Taxation. Resolved, That tho conduct of Joseph Ritner in the administration of the Govern• meet of the Voininonwealth, in replenishing an empty Treasury; repealing the State Tax; reducing the Slate Debt; making pro- ductive and profitable an expensive system of internal Improvements, furnishes the most conclusive evidence of his abilities as a sintebinan. Resolved, That the Proclamation,of Gov. Ritner, requiring the Banks to redeem their notes with specie, has been.attended with the most signal and unexampled success— the Banks, from one extremity of the Com monwealth.to the ether, having answered the requirements of the Proclamation by a prompt and praiseworthy obedience. Resolved, That we would view the elec tion of David It. Porter will° chief mug. istracy of this Commonwealth, as a great public misfortune, inasmuch as it would in dicate a return to the prodioal & disastrous policy pursued by Governor %Volt during his administration, together with the adoption of the new and favorite measure of the-Gen eral Government, the Sub-Treasury and Government Rank System. Resolved, That, apart from the political principles held by David R. Porter; we should look upon his election as an indica tion that "honesty and competency," are not tegarded as requisites m a man aspiring to the first offices in the gill of the people of this Commonwealth. Resolved, That in view of the conduct of David R. Porter is fraudulently taking the Benefit of the Insolv,ent Laws, after conceal ing and putting away, a very large amount of his property for his own private benefit, which he afterwards got into his own hands and appropriated to his own use, as establish ed by the testimony of Messrs. Allison, the Sionehreakers and others, we conceive that to vote fltr him would be to sanction fraud and legitimatize perjury. Resolved, That if any evidence was wanting in addition to the overvlielminz mass already hewn the public, that David R.. Poi ter is guilty in manner and form as he stands indicted before the public. it is fur nished by his putting off his suits with Nlessrs. NPNiurtrio and Campbell, at the late term of the Huntington County Court, thereby evading a trial in which he could have disproved at least some of the charges against him, iJ they a- e really , as he pre tends, false. Resolved, That as we have nothing in view but the promotion and discovery of truth, we invite and CHALLENGE a fair and dispassionate comparison of the claims and pretensions of the rival candidates for the office of Governor; and , to this end, nes rocninty -,virre THE FRIENDS OF DAVID R.

SINIETITITYO NEW. -A very curious feat was performed on Monday evening last at the IVashington race course by a yoath of eighteen years of. age, for a wager of FAO. tie was to carry a man, weighing one hun dred and twenty Iwo pounds, around the course, measuring one mile, which he per formed with the greatest ease in seventeen minutes.
