B,iNNE'fT'8 Htnt.u.n.—Against this sheet,
which has acquired soymuch celebrity for its
disregard or the claims of common decency.
there‘ seems to be a simultaneous move of neat-
‘llvall the lending and respectable journals of the
city ofNew York. _Efi‘orts of this kind have
been made before,'but their effect has only been
to give a checkto the circulation of the Herald
among onefclass of the community. While ll has
been augmented with another. and 31 lellglh re‘
turned to its wonted channels. Whether the
present attempt to suppress it will be successful-
is a matter of some uncertainty, The only
probable means of_destroying it are those which
ltave been suggested, ofcutting oil its advertis-
ing patronage, and‘ the raising of a sullicient
fund to prosecute with the utmost rigor each
and every libel to which it shall give publicity.
By this course, and the withdrawal ofthat class
pfreadlers who have an ‘interest in prezerving
.the morals ofthe comtnunity,this potent vehicle
ofiobscenity, scurrility, and blasphemy may be
silenced. To attempt to write down such a nui-
sance, would not only prove inefiectual, but per-
haps minister to its support and continuance.
The authorities of Philadelphia have Started in
this business in the right way—with a determi-
nation to indict every one who shall be found
engaged in the sale of the Herald. To some
extent the blighting and pestilential influence of
this print is felt in this region. VVe would
therefore call upon every one who cares to pre-
serve the pnrity of public morals, to discounte-
nance the Herald. and give their approbation to
the praiseworthy stand which has been taken by
the New York press to rid the country ofa sheet
whose influence upon morality has long been
like that of sulphuratcd hydrogen upon the ola-
factory nerves-—‘a moral leper. from whose
touch they should shrink with disgust.
_ -A3105 KENDALL complains that they exulta-

,betr.tys terror. These signs ofalarm are but as
-thcymutteriugs in the distant.-e—the sublime and
terrible grandeur of the bursting elements in

In the House. the Sub-Treasury Billgwasy ad-
vocated by Messrs. Lowell of Maine and Ather-
ton of New II-Iatnpsliire. ‘
Friday. in the Senate, a resolution authoriz-
iug the President to receive thepresent of the
lrhaun of Musc'at"was passed. The resolution
provides that the presents shall b'e sold, andthe
receipts placed in the Treasury. The Bank-
rupt Bill was then taken up,.and the provision
in reference to gambling. was stricken out, 12 to
18. _ The Senate adjourned to Monday.
Saturday, in the House, after an unsuccess-
ful effort was made to tak_e up the Su'b-Treasu-
ry Bill, the Hotisc engaged in private bills. In
the afternoon there was no quorum.
» Monday, iu‘the Senate, the debate was re-
sumed on the General Bankrupt Law. Among
the speakers were Messrs. \-Vebster, VVriglit,
Cuthbert. Clay ofAla. and others. M r. \Vriglit
presented the memorial oftbe Board of'l‘radeof
the city of New-York. on the subject. Mr. \V.
moved that the memorial he read. printed, and
laid on the table, which was agreed to.
In the House. news from Florida, of an In-
dian outrage. created some emotion. Mr.
Thompson of S. C. wished the suspension of
the rules for the purpose of taking up the bill
now in Committee of the Whole, proposing to
raise 1500 men for the Florida service‘ Mr.
Downing. the Delegate, followed. and implored
the House to take up the bill. The motion for
suspension was lost.
On Tuesday, in the Senate,tlrere was an an-
imated discussion on a petition presented by M r.
Clay, from Mr. Reynolds, of Ohio, recently re-
moved from the otiicc of Postmaster, rcqur_-sting
invcstigatiouoftlre causes ofhistlismissal. The
Bankrupt bill was taken up, and Mr. Calhoun
delivered his views thereon at length. He was
unusually severe in his animatlversions on the
banks, but be regarded the lawvas calculated by
its compulsory provisions in regard to them to
act with impolite opprcssivness. After Mr.
Calhoun hatl concluded his speech, Mr. Clay,of
Alabama, moved to strike out the part of the
bill including the Banks, and the motion pre-
vailed, ycas 25, nays 16. Mr. Wriglit obtained
the floor and moved an adjournment.
In the House the Sub-Treasury discussion
was continued.
I_n the Senate. Wednesday. a voiumnious re-
port was made by Mr. Clay of Alabama, from
the Committee on the Militia, in relation to the
documents from the Secretary of \Var, recom-
mending a uniform plan for training the militia.
The Committee asks to he discharged front its
further consideration, and the report tloub‘s the
propriety ofadopting the system recommended.
The Bankrupt Bill was not touched. The
memorial of the Ohio Postmaster complaining
of having been romoved without cause. was
taken up and l'ed to a desultory partisan debate.
In the House the debate on the Sub-Treasury
was continued.

“ Wearing I)a(l(l_7/'3 Olcl ClotItes."—Our
readers may have somewhere seen a cut, or
pictorial representation of a “ rent-.trl.'able
youth” of some ten years old, rigged out in
his " dndd_v’s clothes,” hat, coat, vest, panto-
loons, boots, and all. If they have not seen
such, they may easily imagine how such a
picture would look. To a passenger, forall
things in the world, this puts him in mind of
the attempt that is now making by the Fed-
eral leaders to dress Van Burm out in the
clothes of General .l-ackson‘. The old Gen-
eral=’s long military boots are too long for
Van But'eu’s entire legs-—-his coxtttails drag
on the grouud—-his vc-st looks like a box
coat——and his pautaloons, there is no room
left for them. ‘
But seriously, why do not the friends of
Mr. Van Buren support him on his own
\Vhy do they continually try to
keep their real man out ol sight ?' Why try
to disguise him in another mau’s garments,
and run up some other in-an’s popul'arity’.?
\Vhy do they narrte their political papers
“Old I-lickory,” and their societies “Hick-
ory Clubs .7”
Why do they stncliously avoid‘ all associa-
ciations tvhich call up recollections of Matt'-
tin Van Burch’! Not ashamed of your can-
didate we hope, that you thus mount him on
another man’s back ? But the trick will
never work well. It is one of those won-
dTerful'l’y nice laid traps, that very cunning
politicians often lay, but which the most
shallow mindx can see ‘through at a glance;
which, in. fact, deceive nobody but their att-
thors, and which all despise. And in this
case, it is the most abject acknotvledcgment
which can be made, of the utter weakness
and unpopularity of their candidate. You
cannot make the people believe that Martin
Van: Bureau» is “ Old Hickory,” though you
dress him up in _Jacksori’s old clothes.—Ga.-

A Villain or a, Ma7tiac.—Tlte Charles-
ton Courier contains an account of a tragi-
cal affair which occurred at Aiken, S. C. on
the 25th.
A stranger entered‘ the house of a very re-
spectable citizen, in which two little girls
had been left alone, and after questioning
t-hem respecting the affai-rs of the owner, was-
about taking his leave, when the lady ofthe
house returned‘, and finding the children
much frightened, rebuked‘ the stranger for
his intrusion. He drew from his pocket a
pistol, and fired’ at her, but fortunately miss-
ed. The lady then retreated‘, and at that trio-
ment an infirm old man, her grandfather,
came up and induced the murderer to leave
the premises, by promising not to mention
what had passed. The other members of
the family immediately gave the alarm, and
a number of citizens ,pursued and took the
stranger. They found no small clifliculty in
securing his person. He was provided with
a pair of large pistols, kept his pt1l‘StJt‘l‘S at
bay, firing and reload-ingthree or four times,
as they advanced upon him, and was only
taken after being shot in thehead by one of
the party in pursuit. He was then brought
into the village, and: the wound examined by
.a skillul physician,lwho pronounced it a fa-
tal one. Being insensible, no information
respecting his character or place of residence
could be obtained from himself, and there
were no papers on his person from which
could be gleaned any intelligence respecting
who he was, or what‘ was his businessor ob-
ject in visiting this section of country.
Before being talrerv, he stated that he was
the son of ‘Judge Sherman, of Connecticut‘,
was determined never to be arrested_a1iv_e,
there being warrants out against him in
legs from those to whom the lawsvof the SW85
give a preference, was agreed; to‘..
Edsefieldl-Districts . He was 5.fs€t 6- tsetse
in height. dark complexion, _blac.k hair, very
thin." and neatlv dressed. He -had with him
a very good qiiantity of ammunition, 2 pis-
t0lS. It razor.-. a horse halter, and a large
walking stick. He died on__the' succeeding
day. Extensive robberies had been corri-
mitted in that vicinity, and some suppose that
this individual may have been guilty ol them.
