The Philadelphia Inquirer of Wednesday las, says—A beautiful print has just been publi,he( by Mr. George Gilbert It is a likeness of Thad duos Stevens, Esq., the distinguNied advocate o Pennsylvania rights,interosts and intitutions,from a painting by Eicholtz. Tho likeness, although nut so good as sonic we have seen from the same source, is nevertheless sufficiently striking to be detected at a glance. The lower part of the lace and the genoral bust are excellent; but the artist has not succeeded so well in giving the peculiar in telleetual expression to the eyes, brow and fore head. The engraving reflects the highest credit upon Sartain.

We copy the following with pleasure. It is from the Pottstown Anti-Abolitionist, a paper edit ed by a member of the Van Buren party: BELL AND BROOKE. • We learn that Mr. Bell has obtained from the return judges the certificate of election. His seat will no doubt be contested by Mr. Brooke, in Consequence of a mistake made in the Trappe district, giving Mr. Bell fifty more votes than ho was entitled to. The mistake is universally admitted both by whips and democrets,and from what we have heard of the character of Mr. Bell, we have no doubt he will be too high minded to con tend any farther than it May be necessary to developo the facts in n legal and proper manner. The following is the most graphic delineation of the miseries and effects of intemperance that we have ever seen. It is from the arguments advanc ed by certain citizens of Portage county, Ohio, in a memorial to the Legislature on the subject. And yet its march of ruin is onward still! It reaches abroad to others—invades the Mindy and social circles—and spreads Woe and sorrow all around. It cuts down youth . in its vigor—mauhood in its strength—and ago in its weakness. It brealts:the father's heart—bereaves the doating mother—ex tinguishes natural affection—erases conjugal love—blots out hlial attachment—blights parental hope—and brings down mourning age in sorrow to the grave. It produces weakness, not strength; sickness, not health; death, not life. It makes wives widows— children orphans—fathers fiends—and all of them paupers and beggars. It hails fe vers.s-fbeds rheumatisms—nurses gout— welcomes r pidemics—invites cholera—im . paps pestilence,and einbracesconsumpttons. covers the land with idleness, poverty, di'icase and crime. It fills your jails—sup. plies your alms houses--and demands your asylums. It engenders controversies—fhs tore quarrels--and cherishes riots. It con temns law—spurns order—and loves mobs. It crowds your peeitentiaries—and furnishes the victims fur your scaffolds. It is the life blood of the gambler--the aliment of the counterfeitet —the prop of the highwav-man, mid the support oftho midnight incendiary. It countenances the liar—respects the thief—and esteems the blasphemer It yin 'talcs obligation—reverences fraud--and lioness infamy. It defames benevolence-- bates love--scores virtue—and slanders in nocence. It incites the father to butcher his otrspring-helps the husband to massacre his wile—and aids the child to grind his parricidal axe. It burns tip man—consumes woman --t!elests life—curses God—and des-, Itlvs Heaven. • A t , ?1614 l% it aeries--nurses perjury—. 'Joliet the jury box—and stains the jialkial ormitzo.

And now, as with the mnlevo. lence of a fiend, it calmly surveys its fright ful desolations, and insatiate with havoc, it poisons felicity--kills peace—ruins morals —blights confidence —slays reputation— and wipes out national honor—then curses the world—and laughs at its ruin. cCrLet all individuals, who nre in arrears for subscription, read the annexed articles, and if their troubled consciences do not drive them forthwith to carry justice to the Printer, they must be pret ty far gone into a state of morbid insensibility, and requires something more serious than mere hints to arouse them. The Printer's Soliloquy. NOT HAMLET'S To forbear, or not to bear, that's the question. Whet her it is nobler in the mind to sullim wrong at the hands of subscribers end advertising customers, or by placing such delinquents upon a BLACK LIST, its: many of our contemporaries have done, and thus exposing their negligence or rascality, caution all others? To print, without pay, no more; and by refusing to print, deprive the community of one of the greatest bias• sings, a newspaper—is such a consumma• Lion desirable? Print without pay ! Ay, there's the rub; the con-std-er a•tiuu is the point mooted ! For in this jointing, whet coals may become threadbare or out at the elbows, what unspeakables may show lime's ravages at the knees, inrwbat little 'pledges of affection' may go shoeless and supperless, must give us pause !—Tbeie's the respect which makes the printer's life a hard one For Who would bear to inert advertisements For which no pay is received, to send subscribers papers which bring not their equivalent, or receive notice from postmasters, that some individual., whose consciences are as tough as an old bachel• or's heart, refuse to take their papers from the offices, and that too without doing what's clever—when he himself might his quietus make by running off to Texas? Who would endure such ills, and enslave the body and Mind after a strange fashion, but. that the dread of something worse, puzzles the will; and makes us rather bear those ills that we do sulkr, than fly for relief to others, that we know not of? Thus conscience duth make cowards of us all; and we regret to deprive the fair sex of their poetry, their love story, and of a devout worshipper at nany columns of valuable rending, to be ound in the Star and Banner. At d we live, too, in the hope that repentance,which never conies too late, may reach the hearts of the most incorrigible offenders, and in• duce then►, in the spirit of reform, to come forward, and by atoning acts, secure to themselves that peace of mind which he who cl eats the 'printer, can never know. How now dcrzl—more copy On Arewspaper "l'atronage.” SoLoMoN SMITH, Esq. the proprietor of the Mobile Mercantile Advertiser, has recently sold his paper to Messrs. La:robots- and HAnnis. In his valedictory, he says some true things in an amusing style, as the following extract will show: Speaking of patrons—l cannot conclude without giving some of my ideas on the sub ject. of patronage. The Americans are n patronizing people. If a person subscribes for a newspaper or advertises in it, he be. comes a patron; if he 'puts up" at a hotel, he patronizes that house; if he purchases an article at a store, hegives the merchant his custom; tf he visits the playhouse on a ben efit night, lie bestows on suclfan actor a dol lar! This is all wrong. Let us change this patronizing air, and acknowledge, that if we take a newspaper, purchase goods, lodge or dine at a hotel, go to the play, we expect at least to get our money's worth. "Halloo, old fol low!" bawled out a chap to me, in South Carolina, gave you a dollar last night-1 like to patronize the theatre." The day before, I had loaned that patron fifty dollar-, to take him home to Georgia, which lie has nut paid ine to this day! Of all trades, professions, or callings, I know of none—l have followed a great many--so poorly paid as publishers of newspapers. Many patrons of nom spapers, °them 60 worthy, punctual men, think it not unrighteous to let the publisher wait year after year for his dues—and at last, if ho is compelled to pay, ho dues it with a very bad grace. "Mr. Type must have his money, must he? Well, if he must, lie must. Give mo a receipt; and, do you hear? stop the paper—l have patronized that est ablishment six years; there is nu such thing as gratitude in the world." Another will toll you ho never subscribed for a paper—"the boy has left it every morning, it is true, and as it was left I did read it occasionally—butt never ordered it."— There is another dais ofpatrons who never sub treribe at all, but aro great friends or the paper, and always read it; in fact, this is the class who may be termed your "constant readers." "Here, Sam, go over the way, with my compliments to Mr. Tomkins, and ask him for the loan of his pa per—and, Sam, tell him, as he never reads it be- I fore breakfast, I'll thank him to let John bring it over every morning—it is an excellent paper-- that editor really knows what he is about; I begin to think of patronizing him myself:" There yet remains to be mentioned ono more class of patrons —supporters, I should say, fur they are the sup. port and stay of publishers. This class is compos ed of those who say—" Here, Mr. Clerk—be so good as to place my name on your subscription list—and write opposite to it, PAID IN ADVANCE," In looking over a list of some thousands yesterday, I saw a hundred or two of this class. If ihad any GOLDEN TYPES, their names should literally appear in LETTERS OF OOLD. There arc now from TWELVE TO FIFTEEN TIIC,UsAriD DOLLARS due this office; and, I am convinced, the proprietors would willingly sell all the debte Inr five thousand! It is thus with all newspaper offices—and why? because publish ers are good tallilred, and submit to their own degradation in the scale of tradesmen'. Lot this state of things La amonded—"reform it ultogeth er." Adhere strictly to the terms of your papers —for, take the word of an experienced num, you bad better keep your ink and paper than furnish them uid your labor for nothing. You may get popularity. but you n ill got no pork and cabbage for your dinner. 1 now take my leave as proprietor of the "Ad vertiser." I ,forgive all, and ask forgiveness of all, (i racy ono has any thing to forgive,) and con clude by repeating the advice I gave my Cincin nati friends fifteen years ago, with a slight u. mendinent: "Live IieNESTLY—SERVE GOD, AND PAY FOR MR NEwspApEßs„" Puff Greer: the late editor of the U.

MARSHALL COLLEGE.—We learn from the Chambersbut g Messenger, that this flourishing Institution, which is located at 51ercersburg, Pa. will open the coming win ter session with flattering, prospects. The increase in the number of students, has prompted, ue it justifies, an enlargement el the Faculty. An additional Professor in the College, and an Instructor in the pre• pa ratory department, have been appointed during the past session—so that a sufficient number of Professors and TenChers are how engaged, to do ample justice to the students in every department.

Upper: Canada. There surely never was a more extraor• dinary passion for self tormenting exhibited by any people than that which possesses some of the Canadian editors. Their chief delight seems to lie in making themselves and their readers miserable with prognosti cations of all manner of evil. They cannot rest satisfied n moment without some terrific bugbear to descant upon, and the burden of their song is always the fearful peril in which they sta[o, of being devoured alive by their innumerable enemies. For the lust year or so, the Upper (7anada papers have teemed with lugubrious predic tions of war with the United Stales, and of invasion by the blood thirsty Yankees. The world has been culled upon to behold with pity the afflictions of her Majesty's Canaille!) subjects.and with indignation and horror the at rocit Ms of their republican neighbot s. But this strain of lamentation has at last become wearisome, it should seem, even to the wail ers themselves-which is wit wonderful,con• sidering that evety body else has been tired to death of it, any nine these six months— and a new version has been hit upon, the IT. from whereof will doubtless come swelling down upon us with every breeze, and ie all vat ieties of tone,from the Melancholy squeu king of the Montreal Transcript, to the wild thunder of the Toronto Patriot. Another mortal enemy of the CRIIMIIISI has hero discovered in the person of—the Autocrat 401 the Hussies! Yes, it is Rus sian influence that now stirs up the disatli•ct. ed to rebellion, and incites the sympathizers of Yankeuland to the wickedness of unpru• yoked invasion. RUSSIRII gold is freely dis• tributed all along the border, and Russian muskets are deposited by thousands ut con• vettient depots near die lines, fur the use of the fifty or a hundred thousand "sovereigns" who have enrolled and are now drilling for the winter campaign in Canada. This nonrensc is lie ritinsly put forth in several of the Upper Cfillilda pap el'H-41 MI the editors gravely deviate that they believe it. A foreign mercantile house in this city is said to be the agent of the ambitious Nicholas, and every movement of the disorganizers is affirmed to be directed from head quarters at Se Petetsburgh. It is not yet pietended that the Emperor of China has taken any part in the afrair, but there can be no don that he is a particeps crtminis. The over throw of the British dominion in N. America is unquestionably a part of his policy: else, why does he send down so many vermilion edicts against the outside barbarians? In corroboration of the fearful stories cir. culating in the provincial papers, we copy the following from the Kingston Herald: "On Saturday morning a man was bro't up to Kingston for examination, who had been apprehended for selling muskets at a nominal price, on St. John's island, to the St. Lawrence. It appeared that he had dis covered some arms secreted on Grindstone island, (belonging to the States,) and he thought that he would convert some of them into cash for his own private profit. The ahibir at first took a formidable aspect, but, like many others, it ended in smoke, and the man was dhscharged." From Texai.—A slip from the of• Pico of the New Orleans Bulletin, dated the 27th ult. says:—The steamer Columbia, Capt Wade, landed at our wharf last night at half past seven o'clock, having left Ga veston. Texas, on the 24th inst. Into in the afternoon. The voyage to the. Belize was made in thirty three hours and forty minu tes. To the politeness of the clerk we are indebted for the Houston Telegraph, dated the 20th. The editor urges the necessity of raising additional recruiting companies, and stationing theta on the frontier to pro tect the settlements. The citizens ofthose sections, he remarks,are still calling loudly for aid, and every messenger from the West 44 1 is . 'aging intelligence anew depredations coedl by marauding parties of Mexi• cans. ' Information had just reached Hous• ton that a party of about nineteen surveyors, who had ventured far up into the Indian coon try to locate land claims, havo been nearly 'ill massacred by the IVacoes, Ironies and Keaclues. They had been ropeatedry warn• ed by the friendly Kickapuos that they were watched by a large band of hostile Indians, and they "must quit making marks," or they would bo attacked. They gave no at. tent ion to I hese friendly monitions,and short ly aliorwards wero surrounded by about a hundred infuriated savages, and all were killed except four They,however, fought desperately to the last. and fell surrounded by the dead bodies of their assailants. It is stated by a gentleman who had just arrived at Houston from Gulled, that three Texian citizens hod lately arrived at that place, having escaped from the prisons o Matamoros. One of them is Carnes, who was captured on the Nueces, about a year ago, and it was reported had been killed at one of the small towns on the Rio Grande, a low months since. They state that Mr. 13ronan, the former representative from Gohad, is in prison at that city. The above are the only items of interest we could glean from the Telegraph. From passengers on the Columbia,we learned that the country was quiet and going ahead in the march of tmprovement and population. THE BOUNDARY BUSINESS.—We learn from the New Brunswick papers that the survey of the Boundary Line authorized by the State of Maine has actually been com menced, under the direction of Mr. Deane. The persons employed are nccompanied by a party of Indians and American citizens, and were seen at Madawaska in the begin ning of October. Thence they proceeded up the Grand River, crossed the portage to the Ristigeuehe River, nnd; descending thence, they proceeded to the imaginary highlands, near the River St. Lawrence, where their operations commenced. The Froderi?kton Gazette expresses satisfaction at finding the object of this commission of survey to be nothing more than to ascer tain by actual examination, the practicabil ity of running the boundary line, according to the construction of the treaty of Ghent; and adds, that it were wished, that such an exploration had long ago been made—a measure which might have devested the question of its present difficulties. From the New York American Live Mermaid! No mistake! A prodigious excitement prevails in Ire land,especially in the North, in consequence of an actual living Mermaid, which was recently caught in n salmon net at bonne raw Point, in the county of Donegal. There can be no mistake in this fact, as five or six papers corroborate it,intbo important points; hut the "Derry Sentinel" and the “Ferma migh Juurnal "are the most enthusiastic and particular in their descriptions. The first announcement appeared in the Sentinel, as li)11(e.vs: A ilitrmaid and no nu.lul,•c.—A very g Trend d isbel ref in the existence of the Mer maid is likely to receive a severe shack from the truth of the following sin lenient: A crea ture in every respect answering the usual de-cription of the "sea iv , man," %%as caught lately in ho salmon nets at H tine ra w Point, near Fahan, county Donegal. She is at pre sent under the protection of a gentleman of that neighborhood,who has kindly permitted the country people, who are flocking in hun dreds about the place, to "see and believe." The members of the Londonderry Natural nista' y Society we understand are to inves tigate this extraordinary phenomenondirr the purpose of sending an immediate report of their observations to the British Associa'.ion, sitting at Newcastle. We understand that if the novel monster should so wive he tl duo change in her situation, she will be sent to Viscouut Melbourne as a present to the Queen; if not, the body will be preset ved in spirits, and will grace the now forming mu seorn of our lucid soca ty.

The Illermaid.—T his is certainly a sea woman; and has such an expression of in. /dirge/ice in its countenance, ihnt we are absolutely inclined to believe that it is a , creature of reason, rather than of instinct. ' We do not mean to insinuate that it 11118 any notion of abstract ideas; but the fact is, that there is an appearance of confusion about it that would seem to indicate sentiments of shame, fear, and suppliz.ation.

Rightly,in our opinion, does the Whi g thereupon remark as follows: "Iles not Cincinnati wickedness enough, within its own precincts, to require nll the attention of the religious portion of the com munity? And has she not poor and suffer ing enough to need all the charity, or spare cash, the citizens are able to give?

STATE TREASURER. — From the annexed section of the Now Constitution, it will be perceived that an important alteration has been made in the mode of electing this officer. Art. Gth, Sec. 6.--'4A State Treasurer shall be elected annually, by a joint wite of both branches of the Legislature." This section ran thus in tho old Consti tution ; "The State Treasdrer shall he appointed annually by the joint vote of the member-8 ii both [louses." The alteration is un amendment, or it is not—it is a substantial variation or a verbal one merely. We think, now that the pee. pie have ratified it, we are bound to masonic the first of both these alternatives—that the alteration was designed us an amendment, and that it is one of substance, and not of words simply ! If it is not, and it be inter. ded to mean what it was formerly understood to convey, _and to continue what has been the universal practice undeci it—that the members of the two Houses should meet in ono Hall, and there choose a State Treas urer—the alteration is absurd, and infi nitely more obscure than the old Constitu • tion. Besides, why is the term "members" rejected if this be the design? For this reason, if no other existed, we consider the Logislaturo bound to construe it as au alter• ation, not of form but of substance. The practice will then be this—each House will vote in its own Hall, and have a negative over the vote of the other branch—as their joint vote or concurrence is requisite for an election. IVe see reason in this change. Under the old Constitution it was a peculiar hard• ship for the Sonate, limited to a smaller number then the House, and its members chosen for their age and experience, to find themselves, however unanimous in their wishes, merged and overruled by the meni. bers of the other House. This was palpa• bly at issue with the whole spirit and design of the Semite's peculiar formation.[Phil.Star.

The Washing ton Chronicle is behind the times.

Uut if, as common sense has long held. and as the administration now admit, both by act and language, paper money is better for many purposes than gold and silver, why should either be prohibited? Why shoald not both enter into our circulation, or cur rency, so that the people. may have their choke? so that they might chose and use each, in turn, according as it answered their present purpose? It is well known that the issues of well established and solid banks attain considerable circulation in city and country, without any'Special effort to that eflitet. Now can any person assign a plau• sable reason fur this well known filet, other than that these notes are lbund by experience to be more convenient to the holders than specie? They are "preferable in many res pects," as the government now admits; and therefore we trust that government and its supporters will, in their united wisdom, al low the people to have a say in the matter, and to enjoy both kinds of currency, so far as they may find profitable.
