3, joint meeting of the Young .31cn's
ch r ioian Associations of New York and
Brooklyn was lately held for the purpose of
dcriAng ways and means for bringing under
Christian influences the one hundred and
jiffy thousand young men of their vicinity.
4 1 tract, of which one hundred thousand
copies had already been struck off, was pre
seated for circulation_ This tract gave rise
to a debate on its merits, which led the As
sociations to separate with no very good feel
log toward each other. What the particu
lar points of the tract were, which gave rise
to the discussion, , we know not, but the ex
tract we have seen was creditable neither to
the writer nor the Association. It is of the
style commonly oalled "sophomoric" in the
highest degree; a fault, by the way, not
uncommon in some tracts emanating from
other sources.
Mr. Parton's Life of Aaron, Burr has
given rise to much discussion. This author
undertook to relieve Burr from the charge of
profligacy so generally attributed to him, and
insinuated what almost amounted to a denial
of the facts by which this opinion has been
so long entertained. But these efforts have
proved fruitless. Burr was brave, intake
teal, and of most engaging manners, but
awfully depraved.
Monday evening, the 25th ult., was cote
orated as the Anniversary of the birth of
the gifted, but wayward Burns. The sup
ply of sentiments, songs, speeches, and
Scotch whisky, was abundant.
A Mark of Honor, never before conferred
on any foreigner, was shown on Tuesday, the
26th ult., to the memory of the brave Gen !
eral HAVELOCK. The flags of the shipping
in the river, and on the public buildings,
were displayed at half-mast. This was
voluntary tribute of a people to one whom
they had never seen, but whose bravery and
high Christian character will form one of
the brightest pages in English history.
England was slow to acknowledge the merit
of a man, whose fame is now part of her
own renown. Would that the American
Army could present a few samples of equal
ly fervid piety I
The great and increasing Desecration of,
the Lord's Day in New York, has for some
time been a subject of great anxiety to
Christians and philanthropists. In April
last a meeting was held in Dr. Alexander's
church, to consider what measures should
be adopted to arrest the growing evil, at
which a committee of eighteen laymen was
appointed, who have been actively and zeal.
ously engaged in devising means to oarry
out the objects of their appointment. A
meeting, at which one hundred clergymen .
representing all the orthodox denominations,
were present, was held on Monday' evening
week, to hear the report . and consider what
action might be necessary. The Rev. Dr.
Spring acted as Chairman. This report
gives startling proofs of the extent to which
Sabbath desecration has progressed in this
metropolis. It gives a list of shops, drink
ing•houses, &c., open on the Sabbath, which
shows the whole number to be nine thou-
• 1,
sand six hundred and ninety-two, or one to
every sixty-five of the population. And
these are frequented by probably two hun-,
dred *wand persons every Sabbath. The
measures recommended are the enforcement
of the existing laws; the preaching of ser
mons on the eubjeet ; prayer; and more ac
tive efforts to bring the people under the re
straining influence of the Gospel..
The New York Institution for the .Blind,
has been productive of great good. One of
its graduates has recently been ordained to
the work of the ministry in the Associate
Reformed Church, by the Presbytery of New
York—the Rev. Adam McClelland. This
is the first graduate that has devoted himself
to the preaching of God's Word.
Mr, Lemuel Brewster has already distrib
uted ten thousand Bibles to children who
have recited, perfectly, The Whole of the
Shorter Catechism; and the demand, on
this condition, is still increasing.
PHILADELPHIA,
The subject of New Buildings for the
Courts, and County offices, is beginning to
attract attention once more. The present
edifice is altogether inadequate to the wants
of such a oity, but the historical associations
that cluster around the spot aie precioui.
May the time be far distant, when'any ruth
less hand shall be laid on old Independence
Hall,
Late examinations have brought to light
an amount of Demoralization in this city,
far beyond what was supposed to exist.
Great multitudes are engaged in pandering
to the basest appetites, and the most degrad
ing vices. Young men are peculiarly ex
posed ; the enemy attacks them in every
form.
People are not fully aware of the extent
to which Perjury is carried in our civil and
criminal Courts, or of the dangers to which it
gives rise. When a public officer feels war
ranted in using such language as we quote,
we may be certain there is reason for alarm :
The District Attorney recently, in addressing a
jury, said that it was necessary they should care
fully scrutinize the testimony of the witnesses,
not only in the ease then before them, but in all
cases that might come under their notice. He
said that he knew plenty of men 'in the city who
could be hired for a glass of grog, or for fifty
cents, to swear falsely, and to testify to please
interested parties,
That there were many such constantly prowl
ing round the Court room, seeking for a job;
and he had no doubt that many were within the
hearing of his voice at that time. That he could
produce the men if required, at almost a moment's
notice; and in view of such a state of things, he
felt it to be his duty to put the jury on their
guard.
The receipts of the Mercantile Library
Association, for the last year, were $18,519.05.
The number of members is now seventeen
hundred and eighty; of volumes, fourteen
tbriusand five hundred and twenty. The
1 course of lectures for the last Winter was
not well attended, though some of the most
eminent lecturers were engaged.
The Episcopalians have divided the city
into districts, for the purpose of reaching all
the people who may have no particular
Church preferences. In this way it is in
tended to rear many prosperous churches
where none now exist. Presbyterians, not
only in Philadelphia but elsewhere, should
be stimulated to equal diligence and com
prehensiveness of aim. (We, in Pittsburgh,
especially, should take wise counsel, and
work laboriously.)
Rev. William Ramsey, D.D., of the New.
School Presbyterian Church, and for many
years a pastor in the city, died on Tuesday,
the 26th ult., at the age of fifty-six, of
disease of 'the lungs. For many months
this malady had been preying on him. Dr.
Ramsey was an Israelite indeed, living for
Christ. Probably more than one thousand
souls were converted by his labors, during a
ministry of thirtyone years. His end was
peaceful, joyful, and triumphant.
It is gratifying to know that the West
Arch, Street Church, of which Dr. Jonathan
Edwards is pastor, is now free from debt,
except the ground rent.
A Room for Public Worship has been
opened on. Seventeenth and Washington
Streets, where the Rev. Alfred Nevin; D.D.,
formerly of Lancaster, Pa., preaohes morn
ing and evening. It is proposed to organize
a new church, to be oalled " Alexander
Presbyterian church," and to erect a new
church edifice for this congregation, at the
North-West corner of Nineteenth and Green'
Streets. The intention of the ' name seems
to be to commemorate the late Dr. Alexan
der, of blessed memory. 'But we doubt
very much the propriety of affiiing the
names of men, however great and excellent,`
to Presbyterian churches; and if we do so,
we had'better go back as, far as the days of
the ApoStles. The American PresbyterOn
calls attention to the fact that the Alexan
der most conspicuous in that period was
"Alexander the Coppersmith."

Da, MoKuninv--Dear Sir :'—'--Trueting that it
will' not be uninteresting to the readers of the
Banner and-: 4dvocate to know something of what
the Lord has been doing , for his church in this
place, I send the follotring brief notice, for pub
lication,
We had communion here last Sabbath, the 24th,
after having had preaching sixteen nights in ,suo
cession, and on two days appointed as, fast days,
in the day time,
and also on the Sabbath. We
have received into the communion of the church
on examination, forth-four persons, of nearly all
ages, from .fourteen to fifty years of age or up
pards. Nineteen of them had never been bap
tized. It was an interesting scene. There stood
the aged father a son ; and daughter ; - also the
father, and mother,' and daughter; and also the
husband and wife, with others to receive,the seal
of the covenant. Thirteen are heads of families.
At our"COininunion in the Fall, there was not one
(single) young man a member of the church;
there are now , eleven that are members. Of the
whole number received twenty-six are males, and
eighteen are females.
Though it wets' only lastrMay's year ago, that
I came here; and this church has enjoyed only
one half of my ministerial labors during that
time, yet there has been added to the church
seventy-one members in' all, and some of them
are among the most active and devoted members
.that we have. " Truly the Lord has done great
things for ns, whereof we are glad. ,We are not
worthy of the least of all the mercies which he
has shoved unto us." We ,feel that it becomes
us to lie low before God, and to say, " Not unto
us, 0 Lord, not unto us, bat unto thy name give
glory for, thy mercy and for thy * truth's sake."
The interest still continues ; quite a number are
anxious and inquiring. We still have meetings
at night, which are well attended, though the
roads are very bad, and the weather somewhat
unfavorable. .
Brother Williams, Father Munson, and Bro.
Montgomery, of Clarion Presbytery, rendered us
great service, for which we pray that God may
abundantly reward them. .Bro. Montgomery was
very providentially with us from Wednesday pre
vious till Sabbath evening of the communion.
Andhaving been so recently blessed with a re
vival in his own charge,' we. feel that God has
been very gracious to us in having directed him, as
we believe, 'to labor amongst us on this occasion.
MayGod_syill more abundantly revive us, 'and
his work evieryWhere.
Yours, in the Gospel',

cles entitled "The Great' Failure," and "New

interest. The latter is excellent; the former
is instructive, showing that the • crises under
which business suffer's, are caused by the wrong
and too extensive use of CIVIDIT, Banks and

Pennsylvania Legislature.
The following was offered in the Senate, by Dr.
Gazzam, of. Pittsburgh, and passed by a vote of
twenty-four to three ; viz. :
;Resolved, That the Committee on Vice and Im
morality be instructed to yeport a bill 'establish
ing the office of Inspector of Liquors for each
county or for districts composed of several coun
ties; said bill to provide for compensation of said
Inspectors out of the fonds raised by licenses
granted to wholesale and retail dealers in liquors ;
and also providing for the confiscation of all adul
terated liquors offered for sale, and imposing such
other penalties for selling or offering for sale
adulterated liquors as the Committee may deem
If a law to tide effect should be adopted, and
rigidly executed, it would have much effect in
prolonging the lives of, drunkards, and would also
render their drunkenness less of a madness. But
still, a humane people, if only the people could
beinduced to look aright at the subject, should
not be content merely to diminish an evil when it
might be removed, in the nse of means within
their power.
A proposition has been made, in the !louse, to

The District of Columbia is likely to be favored

posed that, at the seat of Government, specie must
abound if 'Bank notes are prohibited. And to
this end, approximately, a bill is before the Sen
ate. It provides that there shall be no Bank of
issue in the Dietrint, and that no Bank note of a.
less denomination than fifty dollars shall be per
mitted to circulate as mOney. The bill, is the
epeeist order for next ' , Tuesday:
The resolution to present a Medal to Commodore
Paulding, has been partially discussed in'the Sen
ate, and postponed to 9th of February.
Mr. Pearce, of Maryland, thought the Grand
Jury of New Orleans, in writing ignoramus truths
bill of indictment against Walker, had, in that
word, expressed its own character. He could not
see bow any man could sympathize with Walker,
who was a mere dreamer, a visionary.. He con
tended that Commodore Paulding 'was entirely
justifiable, in the circumstances, in landing on
Nicaraguan soil and arresting the depredators.
If it was an , error, it was but the 'fractional part
of one. It was not a " grave error." The Com
modore had his heartiest thanks, and doubtless
the thanks of the great mass of the people. of the
whole country. But he should not vote him a
medal. It 'pas not the proper token of the ap
probation which should be bestowed.
Mr. Slidell, of Louisiana, entirely disapproved
of the act of Paulding, and hoped the President
would recall him, but he equally disapproved of
the motives and course of. Gen. Walker, and had
no confidence in him, either as a soldier Or a
statesman. lie submitted a propOeition, that the
President be authOrised to suspend the neutrality
, laws at his discretion, but not exceeding twelve
months.
The Army 13ii * is pretty manifest
that the four regiments will not •be added, and
probably even the increasing of the present regi
ments will not be authorized. Most likely voluu-
teers will be called for the exigencies of the Mor
mon war, under the impression that the present
standing army is adequate to times of peace.
From Iforntoadom, there is nothing new, of im
portance. The army at Fort Bridger was trying
to make itself comfortable. An express had been
sent to New Mexico for salt, which was greatly
needed.
Kansas Affairs are still shrouded in gloom.
The Leoompton Constitution, official, has reached
the President, and reports say, he has a message
ready to send into Congress with it, urging its
adoption. Several leading men from Kansas are
in Washington, and others are expected shortly;
among the latter, Calhoun, the President of the
Convention. Commissions to the State officers,
and the members of the Legislature, chosen on
the 4th of January, had not been issued; so that
it cannot yet be told what will be the political
complexion of the State, provided the Constitu,
tion shall be accepted by Congress. A few days
more will reveal matters.
The territorial Legislature in Kansas has re•
solved not to give way to the*Topeka Legiilature.
This looks like firmness in sustaining a govern
ment administered with the formslof It is
engaged in remodeling the. laws, in accordance
with the wishes of the people. The new'State
officers have sent to Congress a very strong memo
rial against the Constitution.
Acting Governiir Stanton, lately dinmissed 'by
the President for calling an extra session hf the
territorial Legislature; is now-in. Washington; and
`has caused great excitentent.by publishing an ad
dress ,to the people of the Dated States, on Kan
sas affairs. The Governor is a Southerner by
birth, education and feeling; a Democrat, Bu
chanan man, and pro-slavery. Bathe urges that
great wrong WaiS done to 'the people. of Kansas, in'
thwarting them in the free Ilse of :their civil:
rights. He fully sustains the policy of Governor
Walker ; and'shown the rteceisity and the right
.
eousness of his own act, in the: measure which
induced disfavor at Washington. " Toward the
,
conclusion of his address, whioh is calm, firm, and
seemingly ingenuous throughout, he says
"The, measure for which have been unjustly
condemned has enabled the people of Kansas to
make known their real will in foetid to the Le- '
oompton Constitution. This affords the Demo
' erotic party an 'opportunity to .defend the true
principles of constitutional liberty,, and to save
itself from disastrous division and utter overthrow.
If Congress will heed the voice of the people; and'
not force upthl them it government which'they'
have rejected by a 'vote of four= to one; the whole
country will be satisfied, and Kansas will 'quietly.
,settle her own affairs withontthedeast difficulty,
"and without any danger to the ciiniederocy. , The
Southern States, which ,are supposed to have a
deep interest in the matter, will be savedlrom the
supreme folly :of standing up ,in defence of so
wicked and dishonest a contrivance as the Le
compton Constitution.. The moral power of their
position will not be weakened by a vain and use
less defence of wrong, wh'en it in perfectly certain
they will gain nothing even bjr sucoess in the
present attempt.
" The extra session of the Kansas Legislature
has, done good, also, by giving'Meaus to expose
and punish the monstrous frauds Which have been
perpetrated, and doubtless; aliid, 'by preventing
others which would have been attempted. It has
driven the guilty miscreants engaged in them to
become fugitives from justice, and has rendered
it impossible for the peace of the territory hereaf
ter to be endangered by smiler occurrences."

Wood's Restorative.
Of, all the restoratives for the' hair that have
been invented, Wood's pre-cmiriently claims the
pint' h will certainly restore Gel:Mural
ewer of the hair, if the directions are; followed
for a sufficient length of,time. Jt also has pro
duced astonishing effect's in bringing out a growth
of hair, where the head had' beef previously
bald. Wood does not pretend that it will do this
in' all cases ; and we think his candor is a good
recommendation of the virtues 'which his restora
tive really possesses. If the roots ef the hair
are destroyed, no human power can make them
grow again ; but where there is any vitality left
in the root., the restorative will soon renew , the
hair in all its pristine vigor. It has dene this re
peatedly when all other remedies had failed. It
is therefore worth while in all, oases to 'make the
experiment. For clearing the. head of dandruff,
and thickening and strengthening 'the hair it.has
no rival.—Western Patriot.'

The deceased had been for several years a,

early given,herself to theiSaviour and to his ser

died in hope of a blissful immortality. Although
cut off from life in the midst, of her years, and
called with short warning to leave a sorrowing
husband,' and a helpless babe, but's few days old,
yet she obtained grace to be entirely resigned. to
the will of God, and even to express& desire "to:
depart and be with Christ, whichistlait better."
Her faith, always humble and child=like, :was at.

retired in her usual health, and in the morning
was•found lifeless on the floor near her bed ; but
doubtless her faith, so, strong, in life, was stronger
in death; and although in her final conflict no
earthly friend stood near tontterpheering, words
and smooth her dying, pillow,, yet surely Christ
ivas with her 'as she pulsed through the ".dark
valley ;" and if her notes of "victory in death
through our Lord • Jesus Christ," were unheard
by earthly friends; they were heard by 'friend's in
heaven, when her ransomed spirit dropped from

her golden harp and sung the first strain of that
immortal eong of saints; "'Worthy is the Lamb
