I‘IAR.D .Ctbt-zln It\..IM0lR.AI..I'1‘Y.-One of the
phases of the times, more ridiculous perhatplsf
than anyother, is the shock given to the mar’
al feelings of tbe_Loco_ Foco ‘party by the
tendency of the Hard Cider ent/zusiasnt. Those
bulwarks ofsociety, temperance and ‘virtue, are
in danger of being thrown down. Log Cabins
and hard cider are the mighty machinery with
which the moral world is to be rolled back 10
the condition of the "cities of the plain." All
this apprehension is felt by those champions of
moral purity, the party itt power. \Vell. lhls
worldis filled with strange occurrences» bl" Who
after this will be surprised "at any of its eccen-
trlciiies, when he shall have’ learned the fact,
that at this day, and in this stage ofthe progress
of corruption, the spirit of Loco Focoism has
arisen from its " vasty deep” in defence of the
cause of public morality‘! This, it seems to us,
is too muclt for astraight visage even with Loco
Focoism itself! It is a step in hypocrisy with-
onta parallel in the chtquercd history ofthe
present and last administrations. There will
be no occasion now to smile at the absurdity of
the old saying about his Satannic Majesty be-
coming a preacher of righteousness, for it is no
longer an absttrdity, but a fact literally and spi-
ritually true. Pttndemoniuru. hencc-forib.is the
locality whence are to arise those messengers of
truth which are to call the world t.o repentance.
and redeem it from the thraldom ofwickedness!
lfwe are tojudge oftlte condition of the par-

‘ty by the extreme shifts, the bare-faced hypoc-
risy.to which they are driven, its situation rnitst
be desperate indeed When a party which has
been allied to every thing corrupt, and whose
presses have countenaneed and defended their
disregard of moral obligation. thus to assume
the “garb of heaven,” it affords a pretty conclu-
sive commentary that their struggles are for ex-
istence. Such papers as the Globe, the New
Era,and the" Albany Argus, apprehensive for the
cause ofrnorality when their sustenance like that
of the l0e.c_;l;i:-i.t:>étt:£.=r.—d.r.':~ivr:-:fro:rrrhe nsitis of a_
-pealed and down-trodden people! The Globe,
(in the language ofa cotemporary) with an in-
come of$50,000, a-year, of which the people are
plundered, is afraid of the destruction of public
morals! The Evening Post, just about to receive
$7000 corruption money, in the shape of
payment for an advertisement. is afraid that
the cause of temperance is in danger! The
Argus. after pocketing more than a half a mil-'
lion of profits for its infamous and filthy course,
joins in the cry,“ Religion will sulier! The par-
ty who embody in its followers all the religion
ists ofthe Tom Paine and Fanny Wright order;
who aid and, abet, and encourage by their pres-
ence antl money the filthy absenities and mid-
night blnsphemies enacted for years at Tamma-
ny Hall. by infideis. agrarians and loafers, have
all ola sudden turned preacbers._r.fChristianity,
without abandoning their practices. What
wonderful progress morals will make in such
hands and under such guides! ! Of one thing
the public may rest assured: ifthe followers of
Van Buren become convinced that their party
organs are sincere iti their advocacy of morals
and temperance, they will abandon them en
masse. The party who have triumphed for
years by public plunder, by ruin. by robbery. by
inch law at elections and in Congress; whose
open and avowed object is the spoils. will nev-
er suffer themselves to be diverted front the
ends which they have in view. As well might
the Ethiopcan change ltis skin, or the Leopard
his spots.
THE LI~:GisI.A'rnitt-:.—'l‘ltis body, it will be
seen by a reference to its proceedings in another
part of thispaper, adjourned sine die on the al-
ternoon of Monday the 8th inst. after a tranquil
session of about five weeks. A list of tlte acts
passed during this time will be found in ottr col-
umns. Among those which commend them-
selves most to otir mind, is that for the encour-
agement of agriculture. This act protides that
every County Agricultural Society now incor-
porated, or which shall be incorporated, which
shall raise as a tax from its own metnbers, or by
C0lllrll)tillOl‘lS, a sum not less than 3100, shall
be entitled to receive annually, from the Trea-
sury oftlte State, a sum equal to such tax, but
not to exceed $200 in anyone year. Every
society which shall receive such allowance. sltall
olferaunually, by way of premiums, the whole
amount received from the State and an equal
amount ‘raised by the Society from its members.
A Fix.-A woman in Greenfield, Mass., not
having heard ofher husband for about30 years.
and supposing him dead, supplied the -vacuum
with another, when lo and behold! who should
appear but her first husband to claim his “ bet-
ter half." We are not informed “ how the
matter was got along with." If we were in the
shoes of the oldhusband, as ouridees are now,
we would “ give boot ” to take a new wife.
The barque Harvest, Capt. Goodltue. arrived
at Bridgeport on the 6th inst., from New Zea
land via Rio,with 2000 barrels oil, (140 sperm.)
and .1500 lbs. bone.
IMPORTANT Artnnsr-.—Jeti'erson Grifiith alias
John Alexander has beenarrested in Baltimore.
charged with the wilful murder of Thomas H.
M'Laughlin,marshal in the whig procession on
the 4th of May last, and been cotnmitted for
trial.
We copy the following judicious and well-
timed article from our able cotemporary, the
Hartford Patriot an Democrat, and commend it
to the attention of every Whig.
It is the duty of every genuine Republican, in
view ofthe unparelleled elibrts that are making
by theotfice-holders to flood the land with the
Extra Globe, filled as it is with the most shame-
less falsehood-—‘.o constitute himself a commit-
tee man for the promotion ofthe cause of “Har-
rison and Reforrn.” Light shoultl be every
where disseminated, and suitable e_xerttons
should be made to send the Mudisontan. and
other good Harrison papers and documents, into
every nook and corner of the.Republic. and
wherever the corruptzonfund of the ofiice-hold-
ers can send their recltlesg and lying mouth-

piece. Let every "Repl_.tblican remember that
:,-‘the Philistiues are upon us," and that upon
his own iralinidual exertions the salvation or per‘-
dition ofthe country may possibly depend.
ANOTHER Rirrotur.-We learn that a co"i..~
test ltas been going on for some time between
Gad Gilbert of the Noivvich Aurora. and Mr.
Marshall Wilcox, of New Haven, for the oflice
of Postmaetcrof the latter_' place. John M.
Niles, it seems. ltas decided in favor oftlte Au-
rora mart. whose rabid belcliings through the
Aurora have been ntore insane. if possible, than
those ofthe New Haven Register. Mr. Gilbert
has been nominatedtothe Senate. Mr. Jones
will therefore make room.

Orr, THE IMMORAI. EFFECTS on HARD cums!
—Tlte Convention of the 29th of May on the
battle ground of Tippecanoe, was a lcetle ahead
ofany thing in the line yet. It was beyond de-
scription. as it was unparalleled in enthusiasm.
The vast gathering is variously estimated at
from 30 to 50 thousand, or fiflcen acres ofsolid
humanity. including 5 or 6 thousand ladies.
Now read the following paragraph:
The Loco Focos of Illinois. after having call-
ed a State Convention. and finding it was like-
ly to prove a failure, have given notice through
their Central Gornntittec. that the project is
abadcned, and that tltere will be no Convention.
New Lo‘NnoN.—The Whigs of New Lon-
don, at the city election on Monday the 8th inst.
elected their entire ticket. So mttch for the la»
hors ofa loco foco paper. But “ this can by no
means be consideretl a test,” &c. says the Ga-
zette. Oh no, by no means!
The population of Lowell, Mass. by the late
census is 20,981, of whom 7,341 are males, and
13,640 females.
The wheatwcrops ofOhio and Indiana are said
to be suffering materially from the fly.
ERRATA.-In the piece entitled “ To an Es-

fifth line from the top, read ' clung ' for ‘clings.’
In the tenth line, for ‘ life’s dttrksome voyage.’
read ‘ life’s voyage dark,’ and in the second line
from the bottom, read ‘ care ’ for ‘ cures.’
ARREST or Mmtsnzrts.-William H. \Vat-
kins, H. J. Durbin, J. L. Farley, and L. L.
Scott, all mittisters, were arrested in New ()r-
leans on the 24th ttlt., “as ringleaders in getting
up a " mob," as the papers of that city term it.
of negroes, who were witnessitig the ceremonies
oflaying the corner stone of an African church,
and who were addressed by one of the Reverend
gentlemen. It scents that an ordinance exists in
“that city against allowing collections of negroes
without special permission oftlte Mayor. This
permission was not obtained. and hence the ar-
rest.
AID FOR NATCIH-2z.—Nalchez aclinowledges
the receipt from New Orleans of 20,000 feet of,

TVVENTY-SlX'1'H CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION.
From the New- Yorker of Saturday.
On Thursday. the 3d inst. the attention ofthe
Senate was principally directed to the case of
M r. Reynolds. a deputy Postmaster recently re
moved from office in Oltio on party grounds,
who itsked an investigation ofhis cficial conduct.
Mr. Allen of Ohio made a partisan speech. to
which Mr. Crittenden of Ky. rejoined.
In the House. Mr. Osborne, of Conn., and
Mr.'Httnt. of New-York, continued the discus-
sion ofthe Sub Treasury Bill. ‘
Friday, in the Senate, Mr. VVebster spoke a-
gain on the Bankrupt question. He reasoned
forcibly against the opinion that the bill, as re-
. ported by the majority of the committee, is all
in favor of the debtor, and demonstrated rrtost
clearly that by its provisions the sectirity oftlte
creditor will be greatly increased, as well in re-
ferrence to the creation of debts as to their satis-
faction when created. It will moderate the ex-
travagance of the credit system, do away with
preferences. and stimulate the anxiety of debtors
faithfully to meet their engagements without
incurring new ones. \Vhen he had finished,
and after a few remarks from Mr. Wright.’ Mr.
Clay’s rrtotion to strike out the compulsory pro-
visions was rejected. Mr. Hubbard moved the
indefinite postponement ofthe bill.—negtttived.
16 to 28; and then, on motion of Mr. Critten-
den, the bill was referred to a select committee
of seven, consisting of Messrs. Crittenden.
Walker. Williams, Nichols. Clayton,Hunting-
don. and Norvell. The Senate adjourned to
Monday.
In»the- House, a resolution ofinquiry into the
defalcation of a Postmaster at Baton Rouge
was agreed to. After this the Sub-Treasury
bill was the order of the day. -
Saturday the Senate did not sit.
In the House. Mr. Williams,of Conn., made
areport from the Committee on Mileage ac-
companied by a bill. The report proposes
that the aggregate amount oftlte mileage shall
bereduced ten thousand dollars, but it declares
that a reduction of 50.000 ought to be made.-
Ttiey propose to compute the mileage, hearafter,
not by the Post Office distance. but by taking a
direct geographical line. The report met with
much opposition ; and the subject was postpon-
ed to Monday. The bill will take four hundred
dollars off from the mileage of some of the
«members. The Consideration of the _Sub-
Treasury Bill was resumed’, and Mr. Ramsey,
-~....1-.._ .._ ... , ._ _
of Penn., commenced his speech insupport of
ll. ‘ . - - ‘ .
Monday, in the Senate. Mr. Wright reported
the Bill frotn the House, known as Mr. Adams‘
Bill. for the more Faithful Collection of the
Revenue. The amendments were so ,volurui.-
nous as to occupy more space than the original
bill. One of the amcndutettts applies tothe ar-
ticle twist. recently the cause ofsn much litiga-
tion, which is hearafter to be considered as sew-—
ing silk. A bill f~.r the relief of Gen. Clinch.
who suliisred loss of property by the ltidians of
Florida. was ordered to be engrossed. An ani-
mated discussion arose frorn a motion to print it
report from a Coturnittee on the Militia. in some
measure contleuinatory of Mr. Potnsc-tt’s pro-
ject for training, arming, and equipping the
tnilitia, &c. Mr. Roane moved to print 10,000
copies, and some remarks as to the irtjuriotis ef-
fect that Mr. Poinsett’s Report. recommended
by ‘the Psesident. had in the State he represen-
ted. Mr. Norvell was for printing 20,000 cop-
ies. Mr. \Vebster had no objection. provided
the Report of Mr. Poinsett accoompanied it.—
Mr \Va|ker said it would be discourteotts to a
committee of the hotly to append the report to
the head ofo department. He had noobjection.
however. to print the report seperately. Mr.
Preston denounced the report of the committee
as an electioneering ntatter gotten up for the
purpose of defamiug Gen. Harrison with the
sanction of the Senate attached—aud to be dis-
setniriated at the public xpense. Mr. Roane.
and Mr. Clay (.-Ha.) rleIended the report with
tnttch earnestness, denying any sitch purpose.-
Tlie subject was postponed, but a motion was
carried to print the report of the "Secretary of
War, with his explanatory. letter and the cor-
respondencc ofGeneral Keitte in relation there-
to.
In the House the discussion of the Sub-
Treasury Bill was continued‘. Each member
(vjve suppose is to speak on the question halfa
ay.
Tuesday, in the Senate. Mr. Hubbard made
a evry long speech againstthe claitn ofthe heirs
of Robert Fulton. - Phelps, of Vermont, gave
notice ofhis intention to reply. The bill author-
ising the States to tax lands within their lirrtits
sold by the United States. and the bill to regu-
late enlistment in the Army and Navy, were
both ordered to be egrossed. The Senate con-
sidered the amendments of the House to the
Senate bill to abolish land offices incertaiu cas-
es—that is, when the land to lie sold in the dis-
trictshottld be less than 100,000 acres. This
land. in such cases, was. by the bill. to be at-
tached to such neighboring land ofiices as
would be most convenient in the opinion oftlte
‘Secretary of the Treasury. The amendment
was concurred in by a vote of 24 to 6.
The House took up the bill front the Senate
authorising the reception of the presents from
1lT‘8.'lll of Mtiscat and the Emperor of Morocco.
and providing for their sale. and the deposits of
the proceeds in the Treasury. After some dis-
cussion, the subject was recommitted to the
Committee on Foreign Aflaits.
An attempt was made toproceeti to the recep-
tion of Reports from Committees—no opportu-
nity having been allowed for reports for a fort-
night. But the Hotise relused to do that. and
proceeded to the consideration of the Sub Trea-
sury Bill in Committee of the \Vhole. -
\Vedncstlay. in the Senate. M r. Webster pre-
sc'nted a memorial against the adoption of the
views expressed in the memorial ofthe Board of
Trade of New York,and stating that if these
views were adopted, that the whole object would
be defeated. Mr. W. concurred in the opittioo
that tltere was nothing more important to the
country. at a juncture like the present. than a
Bankrupt Law; anti if they failed to pass one,
they would iticur a high responsibility, as it
would be dashing the cup from the lips of the
unforittnate. at a moment when expectation was
raised to the highest. The prittting of 20,000
copies of the report of the Committee on the
Militia came tip for ‘discussion, and Mr. Pres-
ton delivered a speech against.
Mr. \Vebster submitted the following resolu-
lions: V
"Resolved, That the rates of postage charged
on lette's transmitted by the mail of the United
States ought to be reduced.
“Resolved, That it is expedient to inquire
into the utility of so altering the present regula-
tiott ofthe Post Ofiice Department as to con-
nect the use of stamps or stamped covers with
a large reduction ofthe rates of postage.”
The Resolutions were ordered to be printed,
with engravings ofthe British penny stamp.
In the House. Mr. Curtis spoke against the
repeal ofthe Pilot Law. Mr. Marvin conclu-
ded a speech against the Sub Treasury, and
Mr. Parrish of Ohio commenced a reply.

JIIOFFA TT iS VEGE TABLE LIFE
MEDICINES.
HESE medicines are indebted for their‘
name to their manilest-and sensible action
in purifying the springs and channels of life. and
enduing them with renewed tone and vigor. In
many hundred certified cases which have been
made public. and ill almost every species of
disease to which the human frame is liable, the
happy effects of 1lIofi'at‘s Life Fill: and Phcniz:
Bitters have been gratefully acknowledged by
the persons benefitted, and who were previously
unacquainted with the beautifully philosophical
principles upon which they are compounded, and
upon which they consequently act.
The Life Medicines recommend themselves
in diseases ofevery form attddescriptiuri. Their
first operation is I0 loosen from the coats of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudilles constantly settling around them. and to

remove the hardened faeces which collect in the
convoluliutis ofthe small intestines. Other me-
dicines only partially cleanse these. and leave
stich collected masses behind as to produce ha-
bitttalcostiveness,wltli allits train of evils, or
sudden diarrhoea. with its imminent dangers.
This fact is well known to all regular anato-
»mists. who examine the human bowels after
death: and ltence the prejudice of these well
informed men against quack medicines-—-or me
dicine prepared and heralded to the public by
ignorant persons. Tlte second effect of the
Life Medicines is tocleanse the kidneys anti the
bladder. and by this means. the liver and the
lungs, the heal hfttl action of which (‘fIlPl"l-‘l\' de
