To irmiz SENATE:
it
1 have this day approved and signed the
bill entitled “An act to prevent illegal voting
in the city of New York, and to promote the
conveniences of legal voters.”
In making this communication, I deem it
my duty respectfully to inform the Legisla-
ture thatacareful examination of the;i_bill
induces a belief that there are defects in its
details, without the correction of which the
laudable purposes of the Legislature may
not be accomplished. - _
It is evidently the intention_of the Legis-
lature that the bill should -go into elfpct im-
mediately, so as to apply to the Chflflef
Election in the city of New York. \‘v'l1l§h '13
to take place within fifteen days; and mas;
inuch as no defects are found in any provi-
sions of the bill which can effect the election,
‘I have approved it. There will be sufficient
time to make any amendments which may
be found previous to the adjournment of the
Legislature. WiLLr.ttit H. SEWARD.

THE Bitrrtsil QUEEN left New York at 2
o'clock of the 1st inst. with 5.7 passengers. Rev.
- Dr. Eastburn, of the Episcopal Church, was
among the number. This gentleman will rep-
resent. the American Bible Society at the next
Anniversary of the British and Foreign Bible
Society, to be held in Exeter Hall early in May.
The number of letters by the Queen exceeds
‘any previous lt’aflSllllS$lUn--llle postage alone
amounting to over $3000,
“ Granny”—fiSot"—"Coward"—“Lunatic"
—“t.ilterly'imbecile.” Such are the tertns ap-
plied to Gen. Harrison by the Loco Foco press-
es, 8. man whose life when compared with that
ofMariin Van Burch, sinks the magician into
the most contemptuous littlcness.
The following is the l7tli section ofthe Re;
gistry Act passcd by the New York Legisla-
ire. The penalties for illegal voting it will be
in are very severe:
I’ Any person offering to vote at any poll in
_a.’\
said city, falsely personating or falsely assu-
ming the name of any other person registered
as pforesaid, or arty person voting more than
_\once at the same election in said city, or who

at théggame election in said city, shall be
jiideemed-guilty of afclony/. and be punished

«-XBRITISH FORCE IN CANADA.-—The Unite
‘Service Journal for March. published in Loti-
tion, estimates the‘ British force in Canada on
,the_1st of March, 1840, at about 20,000 men.
l Consul Trist, late of Havana, has arrived at

,The Rev. Dr. McAuley has resigned his pro-

Fanatical Ba.rba.r-itg/.—The Cincinnati
ews states that several of the members of
Society of Shakers, located in \Vhitewa-
wnship, in that county, have been de-
, ed in the practice of mutilating boys who
ecame attached to,their society, for the pur-
'-’.'pose of depriving them of the power of vio-
l ing'one of the principal tenets of that sect.
.-The fact, it appears, by some means or oth-
or became known, that in August last, two
boys,.one aged 16, and the other‘l4, were
maimed in_this way at the establishment, and
five of the Shakers concerned in that brutal
outrage were arrested and brought to Cin-
. "mail on the 25th ult. Several of the offi-
cers of the city left the following day for the
Hiker settlement. in order to discover if
here were other children there who had

NEW ORLEANS, March 15, 1840.

butt-lieyare badly disappointed.’ No soon-
er had the rivers above opened for free’ ti'avi-
gation, than a scarcity of sea vessels’ served
to continue the embarrassments. 'l‘hcre is

I'Va.-:Ii/cc mo7°cmen.ls on tile Fro7z.t£er.—-
The VVashington correspondent of the .lour-
nal of Commerce observes :——-Letters have
been received here, dated Detroit, March 3,
stating that the British are making prepara-
tions ol a hostile cliaracter there, which
seemed to have some other object than the
‘Patriots.’ At Bois Blane Island, which
commanded the mouth of the Detroit river,
block-houses have been built and garrisoned
.with troops. At many other points block-
houses are building. Many regular troops
are already stationed along that fl‘Ollllt“l‘.-_.
About 2,000 American Indians had also been
gathered, for whom new htits had been built,
and they had been supplied with arms, blan-
kets and daily rations by the British. I am
assured by gentlemen from that quzirter now
here, that all this, and more to the some pur-
pose, is absolutely true. But what the ob-
ject is, is another matter.
A I"calure.——Not the least remarkable
feature in the present aspect of things around
us, is ‘the frequent allusion to religious a-
wakening which we observe in the secular
papers of the day. In some, whose general
tendency is not to.the promotion of good
morals, and in many which aim not at the
diffusion of religious intelligcnce,'arc noti-
ces ofthe unusal excitements which prevail
in the Christian community, in various parts
ofthe land. Such notices we have seen in
papers ptiblished in this city, in Boston,
Philadelphia,'~Baltimore, and elsewhere, and
they prove most strikingly that this increas-
erl attention to the great concerns ofthe soul is
regarded even by worldly men as a m .tter
worthy of record, as one of the signs of the
times.—N. Y. Ol)se7‘2:-e7‘. _

T/ic usual strike btfore election.-—'l'l1e
laborers fon the Croton Aqueduct, to the
number of three llLttltll’t—‘tl or more, have
turned out for wages, and it is reported that
they_had armed themst-lvcs with clubs, and
driven offal] who were disposed to continue
peaceably in the business.
ONE O'CLoc1{.—-\Ve learn that the riot is
assuming a seri_otis asp: ct. About nine
hundred men have turned out, who threaten
unless their wages are raised, to burn all the
Public Buildings on the line of the \Vntcr
ter works, and to demolish the works.
The Mayor has put in requisition both the
Civil anti t\-‘iilitai'y authorities, and was
about proceeding himself to the Scene ofthe
disturbances.
I/Ve learn that the riot began on Tuesday
last in IVcstcliestcr, when the workmen
broke off, and came down to Manhattanville
and compelled the workmen to break off
there.
On Friday the workmen generally were
breaking off, and on Saturday their force and
threats became alarming.
The threats to burn and destroy the pub-
lic tvorks on the line of the Croton Aque-
duct have at last alarmed otir city authori-
ties, and it is presumed that if the civil au-
thorities are not respected, the military will
be immediately called into action.
Abolition Nomination for the Prcsirltnicg/.
The National Anti Slavery Convention,
which met in Albany on IVetlnesday and
Thursday last, nominated the Hon. James
G. Birney of New York, for President and
Hon. Thomas Earl, of Philadelphia, for
Vice Prcsident._ There are 121 Delegrites
representing six different States. This
course, says the Albany Daily Advertiser,
was resolved upon after two days’ debate by
a vote of 48 to 37.
A Young Cleric (Mill his Po.ra.moin'.——'I‘he
Sunday Mercury states that James Goodwin,
a young man not more than l9 years ‘of age,
of respectable parentage and good education,
late confidential clerk in the store of I'Vyeth,
Cribbs &. Co., Pearl street, has elopcd to
England with 6000 dollars, of his employ-
ers’ money, in company ‘with a girl of the
town, named Mary Moore. They eloped on
board the British bark John, for London, un-
der the name of James and Elizabeth Sey-
mour, he representing Mary Moore to be his
sister. The. vessel sailed on Monday last,
and put to sca—but, owing to stress of
weather, was obliged to ptit back again, and
anchored until Monday in the Horse Shoe,
when she took her departure for England.
All this was not known till the next day,
Tuesday. On IVeduesday, Mr. Cribbs took
passage on board the British Queen, in pur-
suit of hgdisonest clerk, whom he will take
care to have captured the moment he lands
in England.-Express.
Remirtiscenccs of mi. 0ctogcna.ria.n.-—
I’Vashington once called upon an elderly la-
dy whose little grand-daughter, at the close
of his call waited on him to the door, and
opened it to let him out. The general,
with his customary urbanity, thanked her.
and, laying his hand gently upon her head,
said: " My dear, I wish you a better ofiice.”
“Yes, sir-—to let you in!’ was the prompt
and beautiful reply.
The following is related of Roger Minot
Sherman. The Rev. Mr. B. an exceeeingly
dull and prosy clergyman, was engaged by
a neighboring congregation to preach for
them; but they disliked him so much, that,
after the first.Sunday, they locked the church
doors, and had no service at all. The rev-
erend gentleman, however, was not to be
‘done’ in this manner. He remained in the
town, and every Sunday, twice a day, pre-
sented himself at the church door in full
canonicals, and demanded admission. At
the close of the term for which he was en-
gaged, he employed Mr. Sherman to bring
rt suit against the parish for his ‘salary.
Thaddeus Bctts, the lawyer for the parish,
when the case was brought on fortrial,turn-
ed to Mr. Sherman and said, “Brother Sher-
man, is not this a rather singular principle: a
manwishing to bepaid for not pi'eachinir',l”
“Brother Betts.” was the laconic )'eplv,D" if
you had ever /z.ear..l my client you would not
think so.” '
Soon alier the Copernican System of As‘
tronomy began to be generally understood,
an old Connecticut farmer wentito his par-
son with the following inquiry: “Doctor T,
do you believe in the new story they tell of
the earth moving round the stin '2" “Yes,
certainly.” “Do _vou think it is according to
the Scripture ? lf it"s true, how could Jdsh.
uacomtnantl the sun to st.-ind still '2” "Umph!
quoth the doctor, no whit puzzled, "Joshua
commanded the sun to stand still, did he .7”
“Yes.” “lVell, it stood still, did it not?”
“Yes.” “Very well. Now did you ever
hear that he set it going again .7" '
We live in a remarkable age-—one that
will puzzle the honest historian hereafter to
describe. VVith the frecst government on
earth, tvc have been experimenting with
theories of despotism. \Vith all the elements
of national prosperity, we have for. three
yetirsstootl upon the verge of. ruin. VVith
the best currency the tvorld ever saw, and a
national treasury full to overflowing—the
one has been wzintonly destroyed, the other
is in utter bztnkrtiptcy. \Ve have a Democ-
racy laboring for the enlargement of Ex»
ccutivc power——reaching forward to the
tvorst forms of consolidation, and inalting
war upon the States and their institutions, to
effect its purpos s! It has tnade its way
into the Judiciary. It has humbled the Se-
nate, and committed sacrilege upon its re-
cords. And, growing colder according to
the "measures of its succcess, it has lately
thrust from the Halls of Congress the legal
reptvtsentativcs of a State, and now stands
with its foot upon the sovereignty of New
Jersey! What is to be the next outrage,
titnc only can disclose.——N. Y. Gazette.
.A G'c'/z_eral Toast.-—VVc find the following
toast for the 22d February, in a Nashville
paper:
, General lVas/ti7z.g'lon—a grtat man and
and a great statesman, but nothing like such
a general as General Jackson. Gt-it Jack-
son has proved himself the most powerful
conqueror of the age. He has vanqtiisht--tl
and antiibiltttcd both General Confidence and
General 1’rosperit_v—-wl‘tile his great aids-
de-carrtp, General Distrust, General Igno-
rance, and Gt=nera_l Rascality, are manocuv-.
ering throughout the States——-soon to be sti-
perseded by General Distrust, Gtneral Loss
General Vexation, Gt.-ncral Dcmngciuent,
General Cofusion, Gt.-nei'al Beggary, and
General Bankruptcy——unlt-ss we all rally
under the glot ious l3Z1l'lflt'l'0lGt‘I1L‘l'Lll Harris.-
on.
Rclrcnclzme/_tt amt Eco/i.omy.——'l‘hc ex-
penses which the United States have been
subjected to, for repairirig and furnishing the
republican palace at Vf"'tisliii‘igtoii, since the
time General Jackson ascended the throne in
1829, is eighty-two thousand nine hundred
and twenty-one dollars and sixty-one cents.-
Thc famous building, must have been miser-
ably pttt together. to stand in need of such
repairs as are here mentioned. There are
two charges for furniture, one when Gener-
al Jackson camcinto office, amo:ititingto_,‘i)ur
tccn I/ioztsaml _(lolla.rs. and lwe72.l_7/ t/tousruul.

sion. There is also another charge for fur-
niturc, but as the precise sum is not men-
tioned, we do not knoiv what it should be.—
But t/iirlg/-_fou7' I/tousacl rlol.’ao's in‘ eight
years, is pretty well for a plain, simple eco-
nomical republican country VVe presume
the gold dishes and knives and forks are not
included in this_account; but we take it for
granted there must be some other charge for
thediningtablc furniture, asthe twenty thou-
sand dollars charged for the four last years
would not be suflicit-nt for that purpose.-
l'Vc are not told what become ofthe old fur-
niture left by Genearal Jackson. It would
be well that the people should know how
that was disposed of. As the Sub-Tr_eas-
ury is about going into operation, we may
perhaps have this business managed differ-
ently hereafter.

.MOFFATT’S VEGETABLE LIFE
MEDICINES.
HESE metlicines are indebted for their
name to their manifest and sensible action
in purifying the springs and channels of life, and
cndoing them with renewed tone and vigor. Iti
many littntlretl certified cases which have been
made ptiblic. and in almost every species of
disease to which the human frame is liable, the
happy effects of Mqflizfs Life Pitts and I’/tcnir
Bitters have been gralcftilly acknowledged by
the persons benefiitrd, and who were previously
utiacqoainicd with the beautitlilly philosophical
principles upon which they are compounded, and
upon which they consequently act.
The Life Medicines recommend themselves
in diseases of every form arrl tiescriptioti-. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
cruditics constantly settling around them. and to
remove the litirdened fteces which collect in the
convoluti ins ofthe small intestines. Other me-
dicines only partially cleanse these. and leave
such collected tnasses behind as to produce ha-
bitual costiveness, with all its train of evils, or
sudden diarrhoea. with its imminent dangers.
This fact is well known to all regular anato-
mists. who exatnine the human bowels after
death-: and hence the prejudice of these well
informetl men against quack medicirrcs—or nie-
tlicine prepared and heralded to the public by
ignorant persons. The second effect of the
Life Metlicitics is to cleanse the kidneys and the
bladder. and by this nieatis. the liver and the
lungs, the heal:hful action of which ent‘erely‘tle
pends upon the regularity ofthe urinary organs.
The blood, which takes its red color from the
agency ofthe liverand the lungs before it passes
into the heart, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean
stomach, courses freely through the veins. re-
news every part ofthe system. and triumphant-
ly_mouots the banner oflicalth intlie blooming
clteek. .

Salt Rheum, Erysipelas. common colds and lo-
fluenza, and various other complaints which af-
flict the human frame. In Fwer and Ague.
particularly. the Life Medicines have been tnost
eminently successful‘; so much so_ that In lhe
Fever antl Ague districts, physicians almost
universally prescribe them. _ _
All that-Mr. Molfat requires Of l’I15_P8N6mS
is to be particular in takipg the Life Medicines
su.i,_.,1y accm-ding to the directions. ‘It is not by
a newspaper notice, or _by any thing that he
himself may say in their favor. that he hopes
to gain credit. It is alone by the results ofa
fair trial. , . _
