NEWSPAPER LAW tri.The law is, and so the courts decide, that the person to whom a paper is sent is responsible for the payment. if he reclive the paper er make use of It, even though he never subscribed for it. His duty in such case is not to take the paper from the office or place where it is left, but to notify the publisher that he does not wish it. If papers arc sent to a post of fice, store, tavern, or other place, and are not taken by the person to whom they arc sent, the postmaster. store or tavern keeper, &c., is responsible for the payment unless he immediately gives notice to the publisher that they arc not taken from the office or place where they ore sent. Extract from tho Post Office Itegulations, page 50, section 118: "In every instance in which papers that come to your office are not taken out by the person to whom they are sent, you will give immediate notice of it to the publisher, adding the reasons, if known, why the papers arc not taken out." REMITTANCES BY MAIL. PROM THE PASTMASTER ORNRRAL. Postmaster may enclose money in a letter to the publisher of a nexspaper, to pay the sub. scription of a third person, and frank the letter, if written by himself." 1171SiorE.—Some subscribers may not be aware of the above regulation. It will be seen that, by re questing any postmaster to frank their letters con taining money, he will do so upon being satisfied that the totters contain nothing but what refers to the subscription. THE STORM. —The N. E. storm of Sat urday and Sunday the •2d and 3d ult., was according to the most approved model of Not th Easters. At New Haven there was a flurry of snow on Monday morning, sufficient to whiten the ground, and at some places it had not entirely disappeared at evening of the same day. No damage was doile, either to the wharves or shipping. New York on Sunday was visited by one of the severest northeasters ' that we have experienced in many months. The: rain fell copiously and the wind blew a gale throughout the day, Awnings were torn into shreds, and awning posts, blown down in all. directions. The trees on the Bette and in the Park suflered severely. The I.eautiful willow at the northeast corner of the City Hall was torn up by the roots.-- z Several others were badlv broken. We fear that much damage has been done along the coast. , The shipping laying on the north side of the river suffered considerably from the storm. A schooner lying in the stream dragged her anchor, and became unman• ageable. A signal of distress was raised by tliose on board, but no one could ap proach the vessel, on account of the spray a high sea running constantly. She finally drifted down near the French man of Every assistance was rendered by those on board the Belle Boole, and the vessel wos finally secured along side. Numerous oth or vessels dragged their anchors, and drift ed down the Bay—some, it is feared, have gone ashore. Up to tl.e time of writing this para4raph, the storm was increasing, and shifting towards the north-west. We shall probably hear of more disastors.—•N. Y. Corn. At New Haven (Ct ) the storm was ac. companied with snow. The llerahl •fthat place remarks: This morning the face of nature present ed a singular appearance, the full verdure of summer mill resting upon the trees, both fruit and ornamental, many of the garden flowers in full bloom, the fruit unglthered, and the latter harvest still ripening in the verdure of an auspicious season. The beautiful verdure of the fields is now peep tng through the snow; the trees shaking themselves from' the ruthless itieumbranve; the [l veers weeping away the sorrows of a night, and the pavement sweating under the tread of overshoes and beiverteens. At Bostatt there ells also s now , w hi c h melted as fast no it fell. A correspondent of the Boston 'Flans. scriot, udder date of Waltham, October 4, 7 o'clock, A. M. tyrites as follows: For the List two hours the snow has been falling unusually fast, and the ground is now completely covered in some places to the depth of an inch o; more. Tue FoREIGN NEWS.—The few English papers brought by the Shenandoah, con tained very little foreign news of impor tance. From China; hewev:?r, we have accounts that the Emperor persisted in his determination for war; that Keshan was to suffer an ignommous death; and :Aka the Tartar troops continued to pour into Pekin. Capt. Elliott had: obtained a shipment of about 11,009,000 Iles. of tea, and expected to get about as much more. captain Steed, R. N. had been seized and kilted by the Mandarins near Chusan. All sale of British and other goody had ceased, and ten curt only be purchased with specie. The Emperor had threatened to have the flesh torn front the bones of a Comic&ha who had recommended peace. 'rho British Parliament met on the (ttli, and the cation,: lending meati3rs took s'ats in conformity with the eolitical change that occurred... Thus, the Duke of Wellington occupied the seat lately held by Lord Melbourne. In the House, the subject nf i l upplies was mode the order of the on Cie 7th.

TIIE NEWS Di THE ARCADIA.—The Steamship Arcadia arrived at Boston on Tuesday lust. The New York Express says:— The London speculators in tea were somewhat frightened by the news from Canton, and they sold at the reductiou of 15 to 20 per cent., but the importers would not give way. The foreign news by the Arcadia is of much commercial interest. Whet affects the currency and the harvest in Great Bri tian, more Or less, act and react upon the civilized wored, and paiticulat ly urn] the United States. The accounts respecting the crops are somewhat contradictory, but there is no doubt that the crop in general will be less than an average, one-sixth or one seventh, it is computed, and that there will be a considerable demand for foreign grain.— The duty on foreign wheat had already de clined to the lowest rate, 1 shilling pei quarter, the average of the six past weeks being 7.4. Upon a careful examination of the vari ous accounts of the crops in Great Britten, however, we apprehend that the demand fof foreign . grain will not be very large..— The weather wad generally favourable to the progress of the harvest, and more than two-thirds of the crop had been secured. The low duty of 1 shilling per quarter, it was not probable, would rem.iin over a week. Flour, duty paid, in Liverpool was worth 85 shillings per barrel, and good wheat as. to 9s. 6d. per 70 lbs. NEw 'N um—The new revenue bill, which we published in our last, goes into operation on the first day of October pro ximo. Among the articles which are now im ported tree of duty, the following will, on and after that date, pay a duty of twenty per cent. ad valorem, viz: All manufactures of linens, including Russia nheetings, diapers, Oznaburgs, &c. All manufactures of silk and raw silk. AU manufactures at worsted. All kinds of dry and green fruit. All kinds of spices. beeswax, cocoa, honey, mahogany, rosowood, satinwood, Manilla and Sisal hemp, jalap, iStc. Gunny cloth, and any other articles ca• pale of being used as cotton bagging, to pay the same duty as cotton bagging. The articles which were imported into the United States in 18:'9, free of duty, and now chargeable 20 per cent. by the new tariff, amounted to $38,318,001; of this sum there was exported to the amount of $:3,021.119; leaving the not amount im• ported, P 5,289,112. Articles which now pay less than 20 per cent. will on and after that day pay 20 per cent advalorem, except bristles, and two or three other articles, which ate made free. Lyford's Com. Jour. Alluding to Grogan's case, the Albany Advertiser expresses the opinion that the adventure was got up by "volunteers," an x►ous probably to secure the reward of live hundred pounds offered some time since for Grogan's apprehension. This is doubtless the true story, and we think therefore that Grogan will be promptly given up by the British authorities, however much the "volunteer's" may deplore the failure of their notable speculation. TIIE CASE OF Du. FITCH.-- Charge of Forgery.—On Saturday, a man recognized by the name of Samuel S. Fitch, for some fourteen years a resident of this city, and at present living in Chesnut, near Ninth, was committed to the custody of an officer from the State of Connecticut, by Alderman Brazier, on a warrant issuod by the Gover• nor of this State, upon the requisition of the Governor of Connecticut, to demand and take back the said Fitch, "who stands charged with forgery, and has fled the jus tice of the State of Connecticut." The particulars of the case we did not learn, but understood that one charge was for forging title papers to some land in Sheldon coun ty, State of Vermont, sixteen or eighteen years ago, whit' ' i was sold, realizing to him a very large amount of money. He was recognized by an attorney for the State of Connecticut. It is sa:d he is worth 8100,- 000.—Phila. Ledger. The above seems to us am extraordinary case, if the individual alluded to be, as is generally supposed, Dr. Fitcl the dentist. He came to this city a number of years since, and first established hiinsell En Al mond street, Southwark, where he resided but a short time,. and then removed into Walnut street between Seventh and Eighth. He lived there for several years, and pur • sued his profession as a dentist, in which he speedily acquired much reputation, aria as was believed, a small fortune. He also published n work on Dental Surgery, which was received with considerable fiivotir. Within a few years he bought some prop erty at the corner of eighth and . Walnut streets, and built a row ofstores there. He appeared to seek no concealment as to his name or character, was intelligent, gentle manly, and as far us we have heard, until this recent affiir, was deemed honorable in all his transactions. It is curious that such a charge ahould have slept so long, especially as he has resided in this city so ept.nlv. Ile ;mist have many friends here, and it appears to us not at all unlikely, that the charge will turn out either whnlly un founded or greatly exaggerated. We know nothing of Trim personally, but remember hie arrival in. Philadelphia•rt long time ago and his first residence in• Southwark; and although in connection h his early pov erty, his recent wealth. may have been regarded as somewhat strange, the chari• Mille, as to his conduct and career, may hope that he will be able to affird a thor ough explanation..

Bills of lading were also found in their possession showing that these goods had been sent within a few days from Philadel phia to Pittsburg. A special messenger was immediately despatched !torn this place to Pittsburg, for the purpose of detaining the bores containing the stolen property, until further information could be had from the city which will doubtless lead to the recovery of a large amount of propr The public are mainly indebted to the indefatigable exertions of Mr. Lescdro for the arrest of this great English Burglar; and we have reason to hope, that he will not again, as he has on several occasions, through the connivance of a certain police officer in Philadelphia, be suffered to escape punishment. Since the above was written, we have seen a letter from Philadelphia, whch says "that the silk goods described in the invoices found in %V illiamson's possession, correspond exact!y with the description of goods stolen within a few days from a store in this city.—Keystone. A LETTHR FRoll McLnoD.—We fiad the following in a Canada paper. It is nn extract from a letter recently written by Nleteod in Utica. As his trial excites so much solicitude and intere4t now, wo give "I am now in another state of this inter minable 'McLeod case.' %Vile!) the cur min will drop, and the lost scene of the Farce be played. I cannot say. You will have seen the whole proceedings in the papers, and are doubtless sick of hearing of the affair frorn day to day, so I need not trouble you with the . details, I may say briefly ► that when the Judge decided against the applicatiod I made, I at once decided on having a trial as early as possible, to get out of this dreary confinement; my, counsel - were and are apprehensive of the result; they think I may be convicted—l don't think it is probable, although such an event is within the bounds of probability.— The patriots will bring as much perjury to bear as they can, and doubtless they can procure any amount to order, to suit, on the frontier. If l had moved for a writ of error to bring the case into the Supreme Court, it would have had to go into the Supreme Court of the United States, and then I should have had to await a decision until July next. My health has suffered much from the close confinement; such procrasti. nation would kill me, and ft is such a ling ering death; that it is irritating and annoy ingt "1 was urged by friends and fellow coun trymen in New York, to draw up a narra tive of the "McLeod case," as it had ex• cited so much attention, and was so very imperfectly understood by all parties, and publish it, as it would exonerate my char• acter from the find stigma that tuts beet, affixed to it by the witnesses, the press and by the President, thro.►gh Daniel Webster's letter to Mr. Pox, of 24th April, 1841, viz: that I had on the American frontier bragged of having been at (Ito destruction of their pirate boat. I need not say to you the "vile calumny in an ntti►mous he ',— You know rite too well to have ever given the slightest credence to such a report; but millions believe it, because it has never, I suppose, been satisfactorily contradicted.— The fact is, I was arrested on the 24th of September, 1840, at Manchester, at or about noonday; in less than five minutes there were ut least one hundred people con• gregated around me; I mildly denied hav ing any hand in the destruction of their boat; but when before the magistrate, in the midst of a crowd, and bantered and taunted with cowardice in denying the part they said I acted in the afA.►ir, I said, was not there; laid I been, I should not deny it. 1 considered the destruction of that boat a laudable and praiseworthy actiJn, and 1 will not lay claim to an honor to which 1 have no title.' I have ever held the same language. On the 12th of November 1 was again arrested, at mid day, in that rascally den of iniquity, Lewiston, and, immediately a crowd was collected around me. If I had ever made such a &oast of their country, it was susceptible of proof. No proof ofsuch a boast has yet been given. One or two perjured Onions swore they heard me in Chippewa boast of having been at the destruction of the bout; even they swear they never mentioned such a story till alter they heard of my arrest. "You have not seen all the stories they have got up against rne. I have been held up as one of Cho greatest scoundrels that draws the breath of life—the whole press has been arrayed against me, with very few honorable exceptions—their members of Congress and Assembly of this State .have abused in all manner ot•ways, and yet they keep saying "I shall have a fair trial." THE GREAT FORGER.—Caldwell who has committed several extensive forge. ries lately, and who has been most eagerly sought alter by the pollee of vari ous cities in the Union, is at present in Moylamensing Prison. High Constable William Young of this city, arrested him at the boarding house of Mrs. Phillipi in Front street below Walnut, on Simday evening. He was taken before Recorder Vaux, who committed• r him to prisom— His Ironic whensenrchid, was found to contain between forty and fifty thousand dollars. There were upwards of eight thousand dollars in gokl. to the afternoon of yesterday he was brought Lefore .iiidgc Randall by writ • of habeas corpus.

TIIE NEw TARIFF IN NEW YOtttt.- -The Express says•—" The articles upon which the new duties have been laid, having al ready risen in the market, in advance of the Ist of October, the consumer does not feel the progress of the rise,but what comes in free now is, therefore, a profit to the im porter. Nor will the rcaenue derive any immediate benefits from the new levy of duties, as !lm importers have anticipated the time in their importations. This fact accounts, in a great degree, for the great importations we have been having since movements were first made in Congress for a New Revenue Bill. The amount of Bonds taken this year al the New York Custom House is neatly 86,500,000, while during the last year, it was only about, 6'4,500,000. Thii fact also accounts for the somewhat large shipments of specie that have been made to Europe, it being to pay fo. these very goods, imported in ad vance of what would have been otherwise the proper time." A LANGE MAN. -A man named Lewis Cornelius, died at Milford, Pa. on Monday last, in the 49th year of his age. A resi dent of that village has furnished the follow ing as his dimensions, taken by his physi• cian, utter he was laid out:--- , Height 6 feet 2 inches; circumference of waist 6 feet; do. of body A feet 2 inches; do. of aria, above elbow 2 feet 2 inches; do. of aim below elbow 1 foot 9 inches; do. of wrist 1 foot 3 inches; do. of thigh 4 feet 2_ inches; do of calf of leg 2 feet 7 inches; do. of ankle I foot 7 incims; weight (dead) 6351 1 lbs. Ho weighed before he was taken sick, 720 pounds! MCLEOD IN lIIS CELL. -A, hitesbo to' correspondent of the New York Ameri can, says that he spent a couple of hours with McLeod in his cell—when he went into various reminiscences ofhis life,and oc casionally touched upou the more recent occurrences. Although ho desponded tome time since, he now anticipatts an acquittal. The correspondent adds: "I have been amused from time to time, to notice the monstrous exaggratieons which have been published in the papers, both west and east of us,aa to M'Leod's treatment while in confinement here. Some have stated that he had the moue of the villag,e, and visited where he chose; others hale an nounced that he went a hunting as often as he liked,- and spent his time like a gen denten, in any thing that/touched his fancy. The real fact is, that excepting the first day that" he came here, he has been limited in his walks to the jail yard and for days together, during the sitting of the court, did not atrail himself of this privilege, confining himself to the house.— W hen in the' house, he occupies a common sitting room down stairs, which is consid ered his room, and in which Ate receives his friends. At night, he is locked in a room up stairs, like any other of the prison cells, only kept cleaner. He spends his time generally in reading and writing— he writes and receives a good many let ters, and reads quite dilligently and usual. ly works of merit. He is jovial and qncial in his temper, and has a touch of "a Glas gow man" in his habits, sipping "the mountain dew" with high relish." TIIC COPPEIIIIEAD.-A young man in Saline county, by the name of Carroll, was bitten last week by a copperhead, and so rapid was the diffusion 'afflict poison through the system, that he was unable to get to the house, although in hailitio , distance, but was found by his friends lying Open the ground and unable to .speak, but pointed to a bush where the re? the had concenVql hinisell, and died in a few minutes.—As• .kansas Gazette. THE CASE OF Graounx.-- , -The Montreal Herald concludes an. article oith this language: "The present rehitions bet teen the governments of Great Britain and the UM • ted States are quite bat} enough, and it is really distressing to think that young men will so far firget their duty as Bilious, as to commit an act of zurgiesA miry which ,iy give the American Government a handle against our own, and reduce their own characters ton level with that of the A mericana. We admit the ottervi!oness Grogan's character, and the deep stain on the American escutcheon by the harboring and protection given to him and similar miscreants who act as a moral pestilence in any community, but as respectors or inter national law, we cannot approve of the vio lation of the territory of a neighboring nation, unless sanctioned by the authority of the government. The imprudence of the captors of Grogan cannot-possibly serve a good end, ni.d may be productive of both a continuance and increase of the bad feeling which so unhappily•exists along the frontier. If Grogan Was arrested ns it is confidently stated ho was, on American soil, ho will assuredly bo given up to the American authorities, and thereby escape the punishment which would have been awarded him had ho been arrested on Bri tish territory." BORDER TDUNDER• —A t a recent Gro• gan meeting held at Borlington, Vermont, the following resolution was adopted; Resolved, If this outrage shall be JUSTt• FLED (by the British) it will be an affront to the nation; and to the nation we confide the keeping of its honor and the protection of its citizens, hereby pledging ourselves to a hearty co operation, and guaranteeing thatfifty thousand green mountain bop, good and trzie, shall be ready tor the crisis. A NontE COMMIMENT.—The Journal says:—We understand that the citizens of Woodford have purchased the tine farm, in thut county, on which the Bon. J.

CRIME IN ENGLAND, IRELAND AND WALES.—According to a return recently made to Parliament, it appears that the to tal number of persons committed for trial for various criminal offences, both against person and property, in England and Wales, amounted, in 1838, to 23,094, of whom 16,785 wero convicted: in 1839, to 24,- 443. of whom 17,832 were convicted; and in 1840, to 27,167, of whom 19,927 were convicted. The number of persons com• milted for trial in Scotland, in 1838, a• mounted to 3,418, of whom 2,679 were convicted and outlawed; in 1839 to :3,409, of whom 2,615 were convicted and outlaw ed; and in 1840 to 3,827, of whom 2,945 were convicted and outlawed. In Ireland the number of committals amoonted, in MIR, to 16,723, of whom 9,609 were con victed; in 18:39 to 26,:390, of whom 12 094 were convicted; and in 1840 to 23,822, of whom 11,194 were convicted. SINdULAII AIND MELANCUOLY DEATH.— Late last evening, we learned from Doctor Samuel Jennings the particulars of a most singular death. The victim was a son of Mr. Grover, who lives five miles from town, on the Ilarford road. Nl'hile a colored boy was engaged in paring an apple with a penknife, young Grover ran up behind him in n sportful manner, and at tiro mo ment he came close to him ; the colored boy quickly wheeled round, when the knife unfortunately entered the left side and pen. etraled the heart. In the space of ten minutes he expired. No blame is attached to the colored boy—it being entirely acci dental.—Ball. Sun. A SLCCE?SFUL EXPEIIIMENT WITH OIL —On Thursday night last, Mr. John Burk, residing at No. 15 Chesnut street, was awakened from his sleep by an excruciating rain in his ear. It was evident that the cause of his agony was the intrusion of some insect; into that delicate organ. A fellow boarder, Mr. Converse, who had seen an account in the Ledger a few days ago, of the successful application of oil in a similar case. in Baltimore, procured a quantity and poured it into the affected ear. A good effect was almost immediate ly experienced; the painful sensation . sub. sided, and in the course of ten or fifteen minutes a large sit-. 1 musquito was extract. ed from the ear. The pouring of oil into the ear in all such cases, is a never failing remedy. It kills the insect by closing its pores, and as the oil flows out of the car again, generally carries the body oat with it. A resort to the remedy will relieve the sufferer of most intolerable pain:—Phila. Chron.

It will do them no harm tt perform humble services: it will help you, and help them still more, to' make them bring wood tir coal, to scour the knives, to make their own beds, to keep their own room in order.— You may thus reader them highly useful, and greatly contribute to their happiness, and to their future welfare. If you r.re sick, it is still more important you should train your sons to these habits of industry, for they stand particularly in need of this moral and physical discipline. Louis Phil rippe, the present King of France, was m childhood and early youth required to wait on himself in the performance of the hum blest offices. It was through this culture that he was — trained up to be one of the most remarkable men of the present age.

OF MCLEOO.-;--Thri trial corn 'fleeced in the Circuit Court of Oyer and Terminer of Oneida county, New To t h, holding its session in Utica, at nine o'clock on Monday morning, 4th inst. Judge Gridley took his seat on the Bench, togeth er with Judges White, Kimball, and Jones of the County Court. On Montt of the prosecution appeared IV. G. Hall, Esq. Attorney General, Timothy Jenkins. Esq , District I itorney of the county, the District Attorney . of Niagara county, J. L. Wood, Esq., and Seth L. Hawley, Esq. of Buffalo. On the part of the prisoner Joshua C. Spencer, Esq., and C. Gordener, and vain C. Bradley, Esqs., of Lockport. After all parties to the trial and others peseta were seated, Judge White made a few remarks upnn the necessity of quiet and order, and his injunctions were fully obeyed. Mr. Hall culled on the Ilia' of McLeod, and the counsel for the prisoner expressing their readiness to proceed, the prisoner was arraigned and informed of his right of challenge. The clerk then pro. coeded to cull the jury, which was firmed after calling over twenty seven names, and is composed of the following persons; Charles 0. Curtis, of Paris; Edmund Allen, of Au !men; John Mott, of Sangerfield; Ensile Brush, of Rome; Ira Byingion, of Camden; Wm. Carpenter, of Kirkland; Isaiah Thurber, of Utica; Peter Sleight, of Westmoreland; Asher Allen, of Augusta; Sev moor Carrier, of Steuben; Esech Allen, id Floyd; Volney Elliot, of Kirkland. After the were sworn the case was opened by moll, Attorney General. who pre to the reading of the Indict went indtil ,, ed in some pertinent remarks upon the importance of the east), expressing briefly hut feelingly the delicacy of his case, and the duly which had devolved upon him an] the Jury. In speaking of the great excitement which pervaded the public mind, ho pointed out to the Jury how in cumbent it was upon them to shut their eyes to everything{ but the evidence oflitred, and to keep their minds and judgments free from all extraneous influences, prejudices; or fears. After urging the necessity of being gov• erned in the case with the role view of, l eliciting the truth, the Attorney General proceeded to read the greater part of the Indictment. It is alleged against the pri sonar Alexander McLeod, the killing of Amos Durfee on the 30th of December 1837. The Indictment contained a great number of counts charging the commission of the murder in all the forms known to 1119 statutes. Mr. Hall then proceeded to state that he would prove the circumstances (which he detailed) concerning the passa ges of the Caroline steamer between Buffit 10, Schlosser, rind Navy Iriland;—that she was manned by United States citizens, entered at the Custom llouse, etc;—that several hundred Canadian insurgents were then on the Island, having talten possession in the name of the British government, and that the boat had nothing to do with the occupants of the Island. The number of witnesses for the prose. cutiun is about fifty. The evidence for the defence is in ..stly documentary, taken under -commissions, and about rt• half a dozen witnesses who will be examined. The ut most order and deco'rum have thus far been manifested by aft, mid not the !slightest apprehension of an outbreak is indulged. A correspondent of the New York Jour nal of Commerce; under date of Utica, Oe tober 5, speaking of McLeod proving au er/ibi, says: "It will be preyed by four members of a respectable tirmily, residing several miles from Chippewa, that McLeod .spent the night on Which the Caroline was burned, at their house. Another indivklu• al will testify that they saw him there the next morning. Besides this,. there are some fifteen or twenty depositions of per sons who were engaged in the burning of the Caroline, none of whom saw him a mongst them on that occasion. There are, nevertheless, a large number of witnesses, upwards of sixty, who are to testify on the part of the prosecution, some of whom will, I am informed, make nut n strong circumstantial case against McLeod.— But that he will be acquited, there is scarcely a shadow of doubt. AN IMPORTANT CASE was decided in Oyer and Terminer at Utica, n day or two ago. It was that of the Central Bank of Utica vs. The Bank of New York, invol ving the loss of some $20,000 by ono or the other party. The material question re garded the right to three days grace on - a draft'hy one bank on another. The draft in this case was sent by the plaintiff to the defendant Bank fur collection, not paid fit maturity, and only protested by the Bank after three days had expired. The Central contends that it should have been protested on the day when, by its terms it fell due; the Bank. of New York responds, that uni form immernorial• usage allows three days grace on such as on other drafts. Ver dict for defendant. The case is to be car. r ied up, exceptions having been taken.

Nothing to materially alter their first testimony was elicited on the cross•examina• Lion.

Por ter has been Governor. Resolved: That the exercise of the veto potler by David R. Porter, eleven times at one Session of the Legislature, is anti-demo cratic, and if continued nritiSt practically overthrow representative government and establish a one man despotism in its sit-ad. Resolved: That granting pardon to Oren• ders before trial is subversive of public justice, violative of the fundamental princi pies of the Common law, which requires that justice should be administered "fully without denial." Resolved: That cannot vote for a man who interposes to shield criminals from justice and to deprive individuals of the protection of the law. Resolved: That we believe the lime has come, when the people in their primary assemblies should designate the person whom they desire to see elevated to the Presidency in 1844. Resolved: That in the judgment of this meeting, there is no other citizen More worthy, or better qualified to discharge the duties of Chief Magistrate of the United States, than Gen. WINFIELD SCOTT, and that in his bands the destinies and honor of his country would be alike safe. Resolved: That by him, if elected, there would be no treacherous betrayal of his friends, nor any cause for the American Citizen to blush when his Chief Magistrate is named, as is unfortunately, fur the honor of the country, now the case. Resolved: That we will urge the claims of the Hero of Chippewa with the same zeal with which we urged those of the Ile ro of the Thames and hope ha the same glorious result. [Signed by the etilicerB.

ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN MESLICO.—As wo predicted a tow months ago,• another revolution has broken out in Mexico, and that unhappy republic is nom domed to all the turmoil and horrors of a civil war.

It is utterly impossible for us to attain or keep health without sound purging. We mayfasten up - the disorder by barks aid tonics, but if it be. in the body, it must eon% out before health can be enjoy ed. and sooner or later it will break out of itself, worse than. over, if this method of purging the body is delayed ton long.

In every department of let ters new works are constantly falling from the pres - 4, and netwit hstanihng this extroor ditfary.sipPlY, the demand continues with onnyair.d activity. This is especially true of chose lighter publications which ,convey instruction in agreeable and attractive forms, and supply a means of roareation at the same tune that they offer facilities toi improvement. Scarcely a day passes in which some new work atlas description ie not given to the public, and though awing the large nuo . .her thus issued some may ba unworthy or useless, generally they aro de serving of commendation. As most, of the Publications referred to . are prinied solid volumes, nteinac cessible to the mass of those readers who are remote from large cities. The cast and the difficulty of transporting books to places whicli do rait lie an the great thorodghfaree of the country, are such as to prevent their extensive eirCulation in the interior, nod to make their prices so high, as to impose a serious tax on all who purchase them. To obviate in some degree this difficulty, chid to place within the reach of all, the Choicest portions of the entertaining literature of tile day, the Subscriber intends to publish, in d form suitable for transperiation by the mails; beginning on the first day of October inst.; a monthly rferiodical, to lie called The People's 'Llbrecig; OR MAGAZINE OF CHOICE AND EN-1 TERTAINING TITERATURE. THE PEOPLE'S LIBRARY will consist prin cipally of reprints of the best prodtictions of the British- press. The Novels of Balmer, Dickens, James, D'lsrueli, Marryal, Lever, the author of oo'Malley and Lorre quer," Lover, the author of 'Rory O'More,' Warren, author of , !Ten Thousand A- Year,' Miss Pickering, Agnes Stride- Mis. Gore, Miss Austin, La dy Inessirigton,Mis..9: C. Hull. And all other modern writers of distinctiod will be embrated in the collection, as soon a 6 possible after their publication abroad; - rind in occasional instances .prior to any oublicafion which can be made by the book: :Hers here.
