Literary and Scientific Marriage —Mrs.
Emma Willard, so long and advantageously
known as Principal of the Troy‘Female Semi-
nary, was married to Dr. C. C. Yates, of this
city. The Albany Daily describes the cere-
many as follows :
The marriage was celebrated in the chapel of
the institution, privately with the exception ol the
relatives and personal friends. and the pupils
of the school. These were all present, tastefully
dressed for such an occasion, in white, and with
boquets of flowers. Their number was some
hundred and fifty or two hundred, and a group
of greater loveliness and beauty has seldom been
assembled on any occasion. The spectacle was
full of interest ; and many a bright eye glisten-
ed with tears. as they saw their beloved precep-
fot transferred into a lady ofanother name. We
can only add our hope that these sweet creatures,
after being thoroughly educated, may in due
season follow in the footsteps of their illustrious
predecessor. As to the happy couple themselves,
we give them a wish from Byron :
On -roses may their footsteps move-
Their tears be always tears of love—-
Their smiles he smiles ofjoy. ,
A good one.-On Saturday while our young
Locos were anxiously watching for the appear-
ance of tlielongexpected cavalcade of delegates,
a cloud of dust suddenly arose in the direction in
which they were gazing which rejoiced them ex-
much dust raised there tnust be something to
make it. One ofthe ranting juveniles immedi-
ately commenced his hullying—" There's the
real democracy for yoti—none of your rufile

that will use up Biddle and the Bank this fall-
they can’t be bought like cattle in the miirket

by, “ they can be bought for less.” “That’s a
lie,” said ihe'Loco. “ none but federalists can be
bought, and they are not wanted by us—there’s
your real republican's—ofihe real Jefferson"-—
here his slang stopped, forjust their the cause of
the dust presented itself, in coming over the
bridge, in theshape ofa drove of oxen. “ I say”
says a Whig, “ can’t your republicans be bought
by the pound?” “ D—n your republicans;

Mr Editor—I havejust returned from a visit
to different parts ofilie state of Connecticut. To
gratify a laudable curiosity, I made inquiries in
various parts ofthe state on the subject of party
politics. I found parties divided much as they
were when I was a resident of the state some
twenty years ago. To a man almost, the mem-
bers and supporters of the Hartford Convention
are as they were then. (except in name) strong,
ardent and consistent Federal, Loco-Foco. Van

nomenclature of the Albany Regeecy—say
they “thank God we are not Democrats, if the N.

with the blessing of God intend to live and the
such.” “ Away with "your denunciation against
federalists._ They are the only true patriots in
the country and we mean to stick by the‘admin-
istration, so long as it supports strong federal
measures." v75_

The C'lzerol.-ec.9.—We publish the annexed
statement as we find it. only remarking that we
do not believe the greater number of the Chero-
kees, or any thing like a moiety of them, prefer
to emigrate under the charge of the government,
rather than under John Ross, their Principal
Chief. That such may be the case with the
Ridge Party, which is small compared with the
Ross party, is very probable.-—./our. qf Com.
The Western Georgian says—" In a former
number of our paper we noticed the excitetnenl
which existed among the Cherokees in relation
to their removal by Ross; the greater number of
whom had declared a decided preference to be
removed by the government. This excitement
had not abated. but rather increased,and will, it
is thought, have a tendency greatly to retard and
embarrass their removal. Unless a reconcilia-
tion is brought about between the two parties, and
that speedily, another suspension will ensue, and
we presurre the agents of the goveriimentwould
not consent to Ilieir departure under existing cir-
cumstances, even ifihey are willing -to leave;
which is not the case, there being a goodly nutri-
ber of respectable men among them determined
not to emigrate under the present arrangement.
Repeatedly disappointed in their expectations,
the common Indians have lost all confidence in
Ross. and will no longertamely submit to his im-
positions, or will trust their families to his sub-
jection.”
“ Since writing the above, we learn that some
600 had left the encampment and were making
their way back to North Carolina, determined
not to eiriigrateoiinder Ross's agency.”
The Pioneer, in corroboration of the above.
says—“ By a gentleman just from the agency. we
learn that about 1200 Cherokee: have left that
place and taken to the Woods. These Indians,
we understand, are ofthe Ridge or treaty party,
and consequently are not in favor of being re-
moved by Ross.” '

John Van Buren’s attempt to cast an American
into an English Prison.-So much has been
said about John Van Buren’s movements in
London, that we are by no means disposed to add
to his adventitious butterfly consequence. But
unless we are misinformed, he has been an ac-
tor in one scene in which he ought to be expos-
ed. The transaction, as the report comes to us,
was substantially this : Mr. Van Buren took with
him to Londona note against an American then
in England, for several thousand dollars, to which
that gentleman had a good defence. Mr. Van
Buren met the gentleman referred to, and, as we
learn, was indebted to his hospitalities in Lon-
don. He however concealed the fact that he
was charged with the collection of this nes-
tionable note until that gentleman had left ‘on-
don, and was on the eve of departure, from
Bristol, in the Great Western. At this moment,
when among entire strangers, the gentleman
was arrested by the special direction of Mr.
John Van Buren, with the alternative of aying
a fraudulent demand of several thousand ollars,
procuring bail from it free holder in the county
of Bristol, or being committed to Prison 2 Thus
situated among entire strangers, the gentleman
related the facts to a Bristol Merchant, who,
generously interposing between a stranger and
oppression, entered the bail required, and the
victim whose incarceration in a Bristol prison
was deliberately contrived by John Van Buren,
was rescued by an honorable, warm hearted
stranger, and enabled to return to his home and
family.
Such conduct from one American to another
in a Foreign land, is abhorrent to every sentiment
and emotion of justice and honor. An indi-
vidual whom circumstanccs has elevated to the
highest circles in London, should have accrued
to stoop so low. And no man imbued with the
sentiments or the feelings of an American,
could have been guilty of such perfidiousness
towards a countryman..—,Albany Eve. Journal.
Ilorrible.-—A corresponpcnt in Liberty writes
us that “ the wife of Nicholas Lanfes, of Wash-

to cut off its head, but it seems missed her blow.
Beingshown the bloody axe, said it looked pleas-
ant. What must be her sensations, when she
regains her senses, if she ever does! It is said
she labored under a religious mania, believing
her child would go to heaven if she despatched
it on that day.”—Eastcrn Banner.

which he was found, and the nature of his in

been killed by a heifer which he was leading’,
home by a rope round its horns, the previous
evening; and which it was supposed, oecoming
enraged, had attacked him, and so gored and
bruised him as to cause me death before his

Considerations connected with public cducl;
lion in Con-ncc(icul.—Many serious and interest.
ing reflections naturally arise in our minds,
when we take a pen and begin to write for the
Journal now before us. How different the con-
siderations which are suggested, from those
which might naturally arise if another subject»,-
or a different object was presented ! How
different indeed if these were the same, and on-
ly the scene were changed !
Common Schools are in themselves a» species
of institutions of a most important character;
and after the numerous illustrations of their use-
fulness which we have witnessed from our child-
hood, to find them now ranked by the most in-
telligent men of all enlighted countries among
the chief blessings of a nation, is enough to
make us dwell upon the name with peculiar
emphasis. But when associated with New
England, common schools awaken peculiar feel»
ings; and hence it is that we all wish success,
and with enthusiasm, too. to the first step taken
for the‘ improvement of schools in this ancient
dominion of education.
We have been so familiar with common
schools all ourlives, that we naturally underr-
rate their value and their effects. VVhocver'

CLEAN POCKETS.
We, last week, published a brief statemeutof
the result of recent elections, from which it ap-
peared that a year agothere were eighleen Loco-
Foco States to eight Whig States; and that so
great has been the revoliiiion in public sentiment,
they now stand, eighteen Whig States to eight
Loco-Foco—tlie tables being completely turned.
But the result of the election in Maine seems
either to have obliterated from the minds of the
Tory editors all memory of the defeats which
their party have sustained during the year past,
in every section of the Union--or else to have
rendered them so utterly regardless of truth that:
they publish. without scruple, ih6 grossest mis-
representations and the most glaring falsehoods.-
The Saratoga Sentinel of last week, for instance,
says:
“ The prospects ofthe Democratic (Tory) par-
ty are every day growing brighter and brighter.
Every election that has been_ held ‘$11166 the ad-
journment Q/' C'ongress.e:rhib.ils lire tricrca.szngpo-

Missouri has again given her verdict againstthe

7.000. Illinois, which has heretofore been oppo-
sition, has this year elected the eiilire democratic
(Tory) ticket. In Vermont we have not only
gained a member of Congress, but largely in-
creased our vote.”
Let us for a moment examine this statement
and see how many lies this editor has told in a
breath. In the first place, as to Missouri. There
was no general election in this State last year—

Our common schools had their origin in the
Parochial Schools of Europe which were estab-
lished by the Reformers. The object of both
was the security of political and religious liberty,
which were and must be inseparable, Our an.
cestors advanced beyond the example of their
European models, but they acted on their princi-
ples. Like later generations in the Protestant
parts of Europe we have relied too much on the
energy of the institutions of our ancestors, and
neglected their examples in actively supporting
them. In Prussia the schools had decayed like
our own. The Prussians have revived the spirit
of their fathers, and so may we.——C'om. School

said Garrick. “how broad was it?” “About

serve gentlemen.” said Garrick to the company,
not a round lie, but differs front his other stories,
which are generally as broad as they are long.”
.Don’t dig your Polalocs loo early.—-An ex-
perienccd agriculturist has requested us to ad-
visellie farmers not to dig their potatoes till com-
pelled to do so by the cold weather. Potatoes,
will grow after the tops are dead, and after a
warm season it improves their flavor to remain
in the ground.
The Crrp2s.——The corn crop is likely to be
more abundant than was expected. Those who
raised early corn. such as the Dution and other
varieties, have been very successful for the reason
that their crops were too far triatured to sufler
materially from the drought. It would be well
for our farmers now to secure some ofthe best ears
for next year’s seed. The early kinds of corn do
better in our climate as they are less exposed l
to iiijuryfroni drought or frost. The present pros-
pect is that we shall have more com than we did
last season.

Interesting 0ccurrcnce.—On Tuesday last, a
lady 105 years of age, residing in the city of New
York, who has never used spectaclesand still re-
tains. in a remarkable degree, all her mental and
bodily faculties, took it into her head to visit a
female friend in Newark. She got intothe stage,
and alone without an attendant came to this city.
A gentleman learning thatsuch a personage was
in town, called on her to accompany him to the
house ofa friend, which she accordingly did.—
Here she was introduced to a gentleman 107 years
ofage; and these two venerable survivors of the
last century there held a most interesting con-
versation of by-gone days. Having always liv-
ed in the city. she had _a perfect recollection of
the time when the rivercovered the ground where
St. John’s ,Church now stands. in the evening
the lady, whose name we understand is Gouge,
returned to the city.--N. J. Eagle.
Amusing Scerz_c.—Al a Baptist meeting lately
in Connecticut, :1 fat butcher, who was being
baptised, by immersion, wasdragged outoflhe
water by his dog, which, afierseeing his master
on ierra firma. attacked the administering clergy-
man, and it was only alier considerable coaxing
that the ownerof the dog could persuade the lat-
ter to leave the _discom_litted minister, and quit a
truth. The whole number of votes pulled in
1836 was 18,332, of which the Whigs polled
7,337 and the Tories 10,995. At the recentelec-
lion the whole number ofvotes polled was 40,380.
(more ihaulflouble the vote of 1836,) of which
17,193 were given by -the \Vliigs, and 23,187 by
the Tories-—making the actual net gain of the
Tories neither more nor less than 2,336, instead
of 7,000 as claimed by the veracious editor of
the Sentinel. And when we consider that Mis-
souri is the head-quarters of the great Humbug-
ger Benton, who has had the whole resources of
the Government at his command to secure the
subserviency of the State which he claims as
his own—Ihe only wonder is that the \Vhigs
were able to make such a vigorous resistance.-
So intich for lie No. 1.
Illinois has been an administration state ever
since Gen. Jackson came into power-—and at her
last election, in 1836, gave Van Buren a majori-
ty of 2,983, and elected three Tory members of
Congress. She has this year elected one Tory
member of Congress to one \Vhig and one Con-
servative member—aud though she has elected a
Tory Governor by‘ the small majority of 800
votes, both branches of her Legislature are de-
cidedly Whig. Thus we convict the Sentinel of
lie No. 2. '
Vermont elects 5 members of Congress. Her
old delegation was 4 Whigs, and one Tory.-
Slie hasjust elected Whigs and 1 Tory, and
there is no choice in the remaining district.-
She has elected a VVhig Governor by an increas-
ed inajoriiy of about 1,500 votes, and increased
her \Vhig majority in the Legislature from 30
lo 83. If the prospects of the administration
party in Vermontcoutinue to “ brighten” at this
. rate, we shallsoon need a dark-lantern to find
them. This makes the third lie that the Senti-
nul has told in one and the same paragraph.
But this is not all. He says that the pros-
peels of the Tories "are growing brighier_and
brighter every day, and that every election that
has been held since the adjournment of Con-
gress exhibits lhe increasing popularity ofthe ad-
ministration." . ‘
Now for :he facts. Since the adjournment of
Congress, elections have been held in N. Caro-
lina, Kentucky, Indiana, Louisiana, Alabama,
Missouri, Maine, Illinois. and Vermont. In eve-
ry one of these States. with the exception of
Maine and Missouri, (the very ultima Thule of
civilization and intelligence.) the Whigs have
gained tremendously. North Carolina in 1836
gave Mr. Van Buren a majority of more than‘
3,5003 The \Vhigs ofthat state have, this sum-
mer, acquired a majority of 14 in the Legisla-
ture, and elected their Governor by 17,000 ma-
jority. Kentucky and Indiana, we have carried
by such overwhelming majorities, as to leave the
Locos in those states, in douhtwhether they can
say WE. Van Buren carried Louisian in 18364
now the Whigs have elected their Governor, the
hi 1' 'or’t of the Legislature. , .,,_,

see how it is that “the prospects of the;Demo-
cralic (Tory) party are every day growing bright-_
er and brighter.” They are, to be sure, grow-
ing " brighter and brighter"-for the Whigs-
and that is doubtless what the editor meant, if
he intended to speak the truth. And as to "the
increasing popularity of the Adiriinistration”—_-it
is very much like the profits of a certain specu-

milk and molasses, and see if he will not make
up in sentiment what he may lose in the physic-

eye to their own interests, without regard to their-

people. And the knowledge of this fact proba-

EDUCATION.-We cordially welcome the 2.]
number of the Connecticut Common School
Journal, and regret that our late receipt of it
compels us to coplirio our selection from the ma-
ny excellent arlicles which it contains. to the
brief extracts which we have made. In our
opinion the newspaper press ofthis Slate cannot
render the cause of popular education more es-
sential aid, than by republishing enrire the con-
tents of this valuable Journal. Let them ile-
voie a column or two a week to this important
object, and the work is ziccornplishctl.-
But this is not all that ought to be done. There
should be at least a dozen subscribers to it in
each School District. It is published once a
month in handsome quarto form, at the very low
price of 50 cents a year. But we must deler
more extended remarks upon this subject till un-
otlier time, and content ourselves with the fol-
lowing extract:
SC/l00l Committees and Visz'lors.—There are
few ways in which a person of almost any pro-
fession or situation in life whatever, can do
more good with so small an expense of time and
labor, as by performing the duty of visiting the
school districts around him. Every call at the
school house, made by a person who feels an in -
terest in the children and their teacher is sure to
excite an interest among them all.
Schools are generally so much neglected by
parents, and even by the professed advocates of
education, that both teachers and children are
tempted to regard them as of very little ‘value.
Every department of business receives attention ;
conversation daily turns on‘ various matters,
many of which are of trifling import ; but the
school and its interests are almost universally
treated with neglect. Children indeed me be
assured, over and over again, that it is of great
importance to them to attend school, and to be
punctual, studious and obedient ; but they’ may
sometimes suspect that their elders regard it
rather as a convenient pris'a“n in which they may
be kept out of their way. The teacher, too,
unless strongly fortified with a clear and manly
coiiception of the real dignity and importance of
his daily task, (as many teachers happily are,)
will be liable to the danger of considering it, as
the public too often do, merely as a thaiilrless,
and ill rewarded branch of business, tolerable
only to those who have no easier way of gaining
a livelihood.
When a. visitor enters the school house, ac-
tuated by a regard for the place and its inmates,
his presence difihses a higher and more agreea-
ble spirit. He shows that he values the charac-
ter of the instructor, and approves of the daily
labors of the pupils. He is received with smiles,
the leaves satisfaction and encouragement behind

Understandingihat this affair would not be.
postponed on account of the weather, wefelt
considerable uneasiness at thesulky appearance
of the clouds, on thebmorning ofthe day appoint-
ed for it to “come off.” Had we entertained the
same degree of faith in the almanac, that a war-
thy matron of our village reposes therein. our
fears on this score, would have been without
foundation. Aneighbor of hers was hesitating
about the expediency of washing on that day.
inasmuch as she thought her clothes would not
dry ifshehung them out; “for.” said she, ."if
it don't rain, I believe‘ i:’s going to be clqudy all
day.” “ Why how youtalk," replied the" oth-
er. “ don’t you know that the Almanac says the‘
eclipse will be visible.’ and we couldr_1'_t _see it, to
be sure, if it was cloudy!” We liave no fault
to find with the logic of the good lady, and the

content tlieriiselves with exhibiting their insubor-

of night chooses for ‘her curtain lectures,‘ we
presume that “connubial bliss" would be less
frequently eclipsed than it now is. _Yet it may,
with truth, be said, in extenuaiion of this most
that she did not at the time, so far as we could
observe, exercise that rc_flec(.ion,whicli, in general,

impertinence. however, she appeared extremely
rnoriified at the course she had tnk9n—and the
very instant that the sun came out with a clean
face, she vanished from sight, and we venture to
any that she will not be guilty of a similar out-
rage for many years to come.
A writer in the Philadelphia Casket, for 1831,
took a different-view of a similar eclipse in that
year, and inasmuch as his lines are quite as up-
ing phenomenon, we give them‘ to our readers:

last, for the purpose of making arrangements to
take care of the interests of the People for the
ensuing year, and the more effectually to control
the politics of the'Staie by ‘bringing lhcpalrorv
age of the Government into conflict with (hafniu-
dam of elections.’ Fresh orders will probably be

arrives,3liowever, that the People willshow these
political schemers that theyare considered ‘ UN"-

The call for a grand convocation to be bold-
en at Hartford on the 31st October, appears in
the Times of Saturday last. The Locos have
hitherto been content with two or three delegates
from each Senatorial District-—but they now call
for not less thaufivc from each town in the state.
This is about the same as calling upon the par-
