Thirteen years ago we addressed you on the subject of eresiperatirig with us, and aid ing us in our attempts to supply this state with the Bible, to the extent that every fam ily should possess a copy. - We attempted that enterprise with ferns and anxieties; but °Win his providence favored us, you came kindly end nobly up to the work, and the object wee, we believe, faithfully and fully achieved. . • Many ()ribose who then labored with us —with whom we took sweet counsel, and whose hearts and voices responded to our call are now in the grave. They loved the Bible-cause,--they lovedour state, and they spared no toil or expense to have Permsyl• vania receive the bread of heaven. . But while they have filleit and are fall ing, new generations of men hove heel) ere °led, end am coining : forward to net their part tier this life. and for the next.

You will very naturally and -pointedly risk us, how it is that there is so soon a des. titution so great, so appalling.—if the wink were thoroughly done formerly. - We reply, we live in an age unlike any other--and in a country equally liplike any other. Possessing a country almost ulimi toil in extent—a climate of all degrees of temperature—a soil unequalled in fertility —resources constantly discovered, which amaze even this age, and a form of govern• ment which promises freedom to all.—we are having the world's population. flow to us. In a short time—if the time hes not already come—we shall have a thousand strangers arrive daily, year to and :iota. out, to make this the home for themselves and their children. These are strangers, and soon know the heart of a itrangor. They seareh over the land, and find them a home wherever they can do it. We do not com plain that God has so formed us that we are thus the desire of all people—that he has given us what men will exchange home, and country, and friends, to obtain. We donut complain that the poor man can come here and better his condition We rejoice and bless God that it is so. But God grant that we may feel that a people to whom the lines have fallen in places so pleasant. and whose heritage is so goodly, may feel a cor responding obligation to be faithful to their trust. Pennsylvania stands in the heart of the nation. She has her lofty mountains in her centre, and these draw the clouds around their summits to give water to her beauti ful valleys beneath. But while the clouds hang over these mountains as if it were there only object to collect the waters, their bowels are filled' with iron, and coal, and minerals, inexhaustible in quantity and un parulled in richness. Her vales are the abodes orwealth, of fertility, contentment and peace. Already does her population embrace nearly two millions of free people; —these are only her first born—the begin ning of her strength. No other state can show valleys so fertile and beautiful, forest-i so noble to supply the materials for build ing, streams so abundant to drive machine ry, for manufacturing purposee, and hills so rich in ores. Her vales can become the granerios of a kingdom, her forests can build navies, her iron can supply any de mend, and her coal, seemingly, can supply a world. la it any wonder, thenohat the stranger should find it hard to pass through Pebnaylvania, even for the golden dreams of the far west; that familes from the north should come into our unoccupied counties, and fill them up rapidly? that the miner should leave the damp and dangerous mines of Europe, for the comparatively dry and safe mines of this state? that families should increase rapidly within our borders? The poor man can here be fed and clothed, cheap er and better, far better, than across the wa ters; lie can obtain more for his labor; and he can have his children educated. Now this is precisely the capital which Pennsylvania needs: not •money. but men, to develops her resources, to subdue her forests, to cultivate her soil, to dig tier mountains; and this is what Prey:cleric° is siii.ding us. We are destined to lie a great state: great in population, great in resour ces and wealth, and, we pray God, great in all that is prase-worthy and good. It is in this way that there come to be tea thousand families in Pennsylvania des titute of the Bible: they are, for the moat part, our extra increase; and to these we wish to convey the Bible. We shall sell it, i: they , are - able to purchase it, and give it where they are not. Our schools are rail tog up readers, and new arrivals are to be expected; and if the state has in be explored and supplied with the word of God once in ten years for ban century to come, it will not be surprising. We only hopethat eve ry ten years may had hearts wiltiog, and ready to do it. We hardly need say to you, friends and brethren, that in supplying this state with the Bible, we can have no sectarian views to accomplish;—but if we had, we desire every sect whose religton is built on the Bible to take hold and aid us, and thus cir culate the book which contains his religion. We do not take hold of this subject at the present time because there are not other calls of benevolence, which are loud, and clear, and clieering;—but because we be lieve that God has given us this state as a field peculiarly our own—a field interesting in every aspect, and full of promise. Al ready great, this people have but just begun their career of greatness and of enterprise. We• want to give each family the oldest book in the world—a book that will give them a true knowledge of that Being who reared and weighed these 'hills and muun tains in a balance,—a book that is full of wisdom, and which cannot fail to create an intelligent, an enlightened, and virtuous community;--a book that softens the heart and subdues the natural selfishness of man, and makes neighborhoods peeceful and him)• py,—that makes the hills and the valleys . rejoice on every side,—a book that reared the first hospital ever known,-Ihat lays deep the foundations of virtuous communi ties here, and of future blessedness iti the eternal world. We wish to have this state enlightened, and instructed,that herstrength may be richly directed, that her eons and daught ra may, be all that is great and good —a blessing to earth, and blessed by heav en and earth. -• To, the enlightened and educated mind we appeal with groat confidence for their approbation, for their countenance, their aid and cu operation. They will now have the opportunity to see and slum that a good name is better then precious ointment; and to use their influence efficiently for one of the noblest causes ever presented to their notice We shall need their aid, and we know we shall mat ask it in•vain. To cir culotte the Bible around them is taking a certain and wise means to create an intent _ent and delightful community, —to in crease the value of all that can be termed property. • To those whn Rive the care and direc tine of our schools, and ti e•trainint; of the inind of the rising generation. we look fur counsel and support. In no way can the • young be reached and influenced perms-• nently so 'surely as by bringin:z the mind in! contact with the Bible, while the character is (*firming; and the child whose character is based'upon the word of God, will be c ome; a child of whom the aged parent will never! be ashamed,—and whose departure from a' neighbor hood will never be a subject of re joicing. The Pastors ot.our churches, and the churches them - soli/es, will. we trust, hail this . attempt with marked pleasure, and give us the warm righi.hnnd of fellowship. Their character, their hopes, their dearest inter ests are derived from the word of God; and if the religion of Jesus has any vitality in them, we are confident that. they will be very far froth standing aloof in this enter. prise. Let us, dear brethren, count upon you, as helpers of our joy. To the Bible Societies throughout the state we say, come now to our aid. With in your several fields% give us your aid, that the work may be done and well done. Or.e society—a female society—has answered to our first movement, and set to us arid to all a noble example. We trust and believe that others will follow; and that the time is very near when we shall be able to say, "Friends, the work is begun;--friends, the work is done!" By your countenance and influence, by your active exertions and efforts, by your contributions and prayers, we respectfully, but earnestly ask your assistance•; and do not forget that he who Rives in charity, gives twice the amount of real aid, if he does it immediately.

From the New York Sun EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ABDUCTION OF %Puree GIB .Fnekt THIS Cerr.—A very painful rumor has reached us in relation to the kidnapping 'of some fiftein or twenty young white women from this city, and ofj their captivity among the native chiefs on the slave coast of Africa. For the last two sacra several vessels have left this port whose appearance was any thing but mer cantile, and general rumor called them pi rates—some came nearer the truth, andeal led thorn slavers.* It is said that _one of these vessels assumed the character of a passenger packet, bound to New Orleans and Havana, and the captain, by the aid of a person well known in this city, went to the Pointe, and also to the other infected districts of our city, and addressing them selves to the best looking girls, tendered them a free passage, and even went so far as to give them new dresses, trinkets, dte 'rho poor girls were taken on board inthe *arena, in detachments, and every thing was - given them to render !Lair position comfortable, and committed to the care• of a matron, who assumed the character cifthe captain's wile. Thus-freighted, the vessel left our waters and reached Havana in a few days. There the unsuspecting girls were informed that they could not theriland, because the authorities of the islatd had or dered the •:essels to be quarantined at Ma tanzae, In a few days she sailed apparently bound to Matanzas, but in truth her sail. were spread for the coast of Africa on a slaving expedition. The lenoth of the voy age created some uneasiness, which, how ever, was quieted by the good usage and continued frolic of the whole party. On their reaching the coast, preparations hay ing bean made for their arrival. they were sent on shore, and, as the painful rumor save, they were exchanged by these abuc tors, with the chiefs, for slaves; one young white woman was exchanged for fifty prime negroes. The whole party was thus in stantly sent into the interior of Africa as the slaves of the chiefs, perhaps never to hear from thou own land again. This ac count is said to have reached this city by the captain of one of the war parties, in which two of the white girls were, who were owned by the chief, and who gave a totter to beient to the coast, nerratteg thr manner of their abduction nod captivity.— We trust that this letter may turn out a fabrication, because we would hope that the accursed love of gold has not driven any of our sailors to such an infamous and diaboli cal traffic as that of poor unfortunate women. At the time these vessels were leaving, a rumor of the kind was afloat, but it was thought rather idle, rind we sincerely trust that this whole matter may be only one of Madame Rumor's, brood.

Cl/ARLES CITY CO., Va. Nov. 10th, 160.. TIP AND Ty.—The President and Vice President elect, were both born and 'lam ed". in this little County, and 1 am happy t.. sily, that pretty nearly all of us voted fir them,• and so it is not our fault if they have not a majority in their native . Common wealth.. W Henry Harrison was limn on a plantation then and now called Cabin Pain', and it is u somewhat singular coinci dence that he became the log Cabin candi date for the Presidency. John Tyler's birth-place was in the same neighborhood. The parents of both were of the old Virgin ia stock, and were distin ,, ui4hed dike fir v,ealth, for patriotism, and 'AAA::: rg! Benjamin Harrison was a signer of the De claration of independence, and Judge Tyler was eminent as a lawyer and a judge. The two comities of Harrison and Tyler, in Vir ginia, were named froth these gentlemen, and, what may now seem u curious coinci Bence, are coterminaus. •'The tract of country thus prolific of Pre sidcuts, is low, level, sandy, with some good alluvial soil oil th 9 rivers, but generally bar roil and covered with brown s:raw and stump cedar. This is the general charact?r of what has been well called this "race horse country"—for it loos - produced mote fine horses and great statesmen than all of the rest of the Union together. In confirmer I lion of this fact, I may mention that the county of Westmoreland, in the Northern Neck,gare birth to three Presidents, Wash ington, Madison and Monroe. Madison was born at Pon Conway, then in the Coun ty o f Westmoreland, but now, I believe, in King George County. Besides these gentlemen and Mr. Jeffer• win. (who was also born in this low coun try.) there have been others also born here who were candidates for the Presidency, or . well deserved to be—particularly Chief Jug -1 tice Marshall, William H. Crawford, and Henry Clay. Nor does it appear that the race is yet estnct; for it is generally suppo. sed that Mr. Rives is to be in the field as a candidate for the first or the second office, at the next election; and R. .M Johnson, who now fills the second office and is prob lably to be a candidate for the first, is also a native Virginian. The election of either of I these two gentlemen, would however. effect I enure change in old Virginia dynasty, for neither of them were horn, as they ought 1 {to have been, below tide water Resides, 1 in regard to Mr. Rives, he labors under the lobjection of black eyes,—those of his pre decessors, and, in fact, of all great men, be. I ing blue or grey. Again, his name has not I the "on" in it. Johnson is right as to the tor. minetien of his name, and the color of his eves—both which circumstances & r pm t o be the auguries of success. General Scott was born in the right, region for success, and has also some other tokens of it. From the Louisville Gazette of Nor. 26 DIPASTROIU9 FIRE IN LOUISVILLE —On Tuesday night, a little alter 9 o'clock, a most disastrous fire occurred on Main street, between sth and 6th streets It was found to have broken out in the exten atue nliolessle house of Messrs. Hew;tt, Al. ltson, dr, Cu. the doors of which were do• sed, the young gentleman who sleeps there being absent. Serum the house could be entered, the whille interior was enveloped in fitlfl.CS, consuming a considet able amount of property, embracing °early all their stock. which it was impossible to save.— The fire quickly. communicated to the ad joining house of Mr. Willis Stewart. which it wasfound impossible to save. Some of Mr. Stewart's property was rescued, but he is a considerable loser. The flames reached the adjoining houses occupied by Messrs. Bait( dr, Co. and Jon. N. Johnson, wh,ch were considerably inju red. So immirent was the perilan which these latter establishments stone, that then property was moved into the street' by which they sustained a severe loss. We under. stand that Messrs. Bunks & Co. have an insurance at tie Marine and Fire Insurance Company, of this city of sto,ooo, and that Mr. Johnson's insurance Pi ths same of (Ice is 83.500. The stores of Messrs. Stewart and Hew itt„ Allison b. Co. were among the must se perb in the city, having handsome marble fronts and balustrades. The loss will be heavy and is estimated - at ah.iut 830,000. The wind was from the. West, but was light. The snow on the runle prevented the flames from spreading and devastating one of our principal squares. The firemen deserve praise for their ex ertions: They have had a hard timr-. 7 there having occurred several large fires within the past week—and one at which they had to labor long only the night previ. Gus to tilt:calamity we now record. Our citizens cannot be too.careful. The winter. has opened badly, and great cumuli, should be observed. There are a number of rumors afloat as to the cause of this lust. It isratiributed to carelessness and incenrie What motive a villain could have In firing such valuable establishments and at that early hour wo cannot imagine. There was a considerable sum of money, say 810,- 000 and valuable plate, in the vault of Hew. sit, Allison & Co., which on exemina:ion was found uninjured—the vault being fire proot: Mr. Stewart's iron safe was also saved. We hear that both Mr. Stewart nod Messrs. Allison & Co. are insured hut to what amount, and in what office, wo did not learn. We understand Mr. Hewitt will be a loser—the house occupied by the firn► not being insured which cost $12,000. ........emo... “HARRISONIANA.!'

Ifni:ail ing be done for the extinction of this debt the first thing, indeed, that Congress will have to do under the administration of General lisantsorr, (who will no doubt restore to Congress' the duty of managing the reven ye, usurped by the Executive since the 4th of %taich 1829 j will be to provide at once for the payment of n public debt (including . Treasury notes) of twenty or thirty mill ions of dollars. The next and yet more im portant duty which will necessarily de volve upon the next Congress will be to provide a permanent addition to the revert• tie, which lulls annually, short of the wants of the Government, partly from the late de. rangements in the commerce of the country but principally •by the necessary operation of the compromise tariff, which will have reached its minimum in 1842, but is already low enough fur its effects to be sensibly felt upon the revenue from the customs, (or dunes upon imports.) In addition t* other deficiencea of the re. , venue, which tt will be necessary for Con gress to provide for, if we do not mistake the mutter, will be that in the receipts of the Post Office, which have been falling off Until its'revenue is not sdegimi e t o i ts ex penditure The present Postmaster Cleo era!, we believe, received it fr his prede citow.r loaded . with a heavy debt, which the diminishing revenue it tie office is not like ly to fondue to provide for.

The boat had been ant on fire in the part where the bodies lay, but the flames impear ed to have gone out of their own accord; having, however, greatly disfigured both of them, laid, we believe, partly consumed them. An axe, smeared with blood, with human hair upon it, was found on the beat, and the . floor around was stained with blood. The skull of one of the men exhibited a deep wound, made wkth the axe or some similar weapon. It is judged that the murder must have been perpetrated between 'l'hursday and Saturday last.

The gentlemen elected in the several States, as electors of President and Vice President, met at the scat of government of the several States on Wednesday last to deposit. their ballots. In this State, the College met in the Senate Chamber at Harrisburg, and appointed John Andrew Shu lize, of Lycoming, President, and Alexander Ramsey, of Dauphin, Secretary. The vacancy in the Col- lege, .occasioned by the absence of . Bernard Con nelly, jr., w ho . was prevented from attending at the seat of government on account of indisposition, was filled by the choice of Thomas H. Burrow. 1 of Lancaster. The College then proceeded to b a l. 1 1 lab for ,Pretddent, ,h 1 essre. Middleswarth and Zei lin being appointed Tellers, when Gen. William Henry Harrison received the unanimous vote of the Cullego. In like manner the college iten pro ceeded to ballot for Vice President, when the Tel term announced, that John Tyler had received a s i rri ttervote. Ex. Governor Ritner was appointed special messenger to convey the re t urns of the College to the President .'f the United States Sen ate. After pet forming the necessary duties. the College adjourned on Thursday last, sine die. The Electoral College of Maryland met in the benate chamber at Annapolis, and appointed Gov. George Howard, of Anne Arundel, provident of the college, and Joseph H. Nicholson, of Annap oils, secretary. lien. W. H.

In like manner John Tyler was nominated for Vice President, and received a similar vote. The col lege after performing the necessary duties, ad journed sine die about three o'clock. The Electoral College of Virginia assembled on Wednesday last in the capitol, and cast the vote of that' State for Morun Van Buren and Richard M. Johnion. Mr. Polk of Tennessee received one _yet° for Vico President. Neither Johnson uor Polk were voted for by the people of Virginia. l' Ise Cabinet. It is high time that thciso who have given them- selves so busily to cabinet-making begin to re- fleet that their exertions to assist Gen. Hanris3n s in making proper selections, ere altogether gratu itous, and possibly will he thankless. Gen. Har rison goes to the Presidential chair circumstanced differently from any of his predecessors: He is bound to a single term. There will ho none of that fawning for favor which has marked the up pitintmontiof other Presidents—none of that pa rasitical, conduct which characterises men seeking the favor of all. Ho is honest, capable. discreet. end firm in his character, and his appointments will bo such, si in his judgment, will best secure the interests of the people for whose good govern ment he is answerable. We have our favorites, and may name them hereafter. We have ample confidence in the appointing power. We think with our friend of the Harrisburg In telligencer, that the suggestion of his coirespon tient ozl Democrat," is entitled to consideration: namely, that ttie Democratic Harrison candidate for Governor should be nominated after the 4th of March. There are rnany'reasons why it would be proper to hold the Lonvention some two weeks later:-none of which are more weighty than that our friends throughout the State will desire to witness the inaugural ceremonies at Washington. • on that day.

I There are many men connected with the Dem lerratic Harrison party who would refieFt great credit on our ancient Commonwealth, were they , elevated to her gubernatorial chair. To attempt to particularize would only be bringing forward i the names of some of our distinguished men to ; the divpargement of others equally deserving, and ; equally competent. Of the many who have been i named, all would doubtless be good men; yet, save the suggesting of the name, all else is wrong.— The pressing of any individual claims over those 1 of others. is forestalling the public mind, where it I must be left free to chouse fur itself. The , Demo cratic Convention must assemble to select a men for our support. They alone must weigh the i • matter; and when Adams County is about to Bond , her representation to that body, then we shall say ; what our preference is, and • they will be our I mouthpieces.
