who never yet raised a party around him,

friends have erected a press at Micon, to
persuanle the people of Georgia to follow
him. This is the Presidential aspirant who
cannot get the vote of any two Szates in the
Union. \Vhat an imposition upon common
sense.
Immigra.nts.—There were never such
shoals ofthem before. Not less than eleven
or twelve hundred arrived yestcrduy.—Nor-
wt-glans, G.-rmans, French, and Irish.-—
They are in general hardy, laborious, and
economical. Every year brings better and
more wealthy classes. Those who came
first were little better than paupers, and
some of them no better, but now, people who
were living in comparative comfort in Eu-
rope, are determining in very great numbers
to make their condition still better by coming
to this land of plenty. Some come for liber-
ty, especially religious liberty. May neither
Il1e\r‘ii0»r their children forget what lioerty is
woith, or relinquish one iota of it, either po-
litical or religious.
No doubt the numbers will increase from
year to year. How happy are weto possess
a country so much better than any other,
that the inhabitants of all others are rushing
here for wealth. liberty, everything that can
render life desireable. I Let us be thankful
and faithful to our high trust. It is gratify-
ing to know that the immigrants do not now
as formerly. fall into the hands of villains, to
be cheated as soon as they reach our shores.
It is worthy of remark, that while the
number of immigrants arriving here is far
greater than in any former year, the number
arrivingin Canada is but about two fifths as
great as last year.-—Jnu.r. Com.
Accident from a. Bull.-—Oue day last
week, a lad in the town of Southbury, in
this county, while crossing a fit-Id was at-
tacked by a bull who had never before ex-
hibited any thing in the belligerent way. A
brother ofihe lad then went to his rescue,
but the bull proving too much for them, a
man named Parker rushed in to the assist-
ance of the two boys. After a long and se-
vere struggle, the two boys succeeded in ma
Icing their escape, without being dangerous-
ly wounded. Mt‘. Parker was furiously at-
tacked by the bull, and before effecting his
escape, was badly gored in the bowels, and
isnow lying dangerously ill from the effects
ofthc encounter.-—./V. H. Coo. ier.
The Field of SarcLtoga..——Within in few
days past several valuable coins have been
found in a ploughed field on the old battle
ground 0fSaratog=I. Amongthem was a
gold five pound piece, of the reign of Wil-
liam and Mary, and in one spot a guinea of
the coinage of 1775, appeared perfectly new
and bright, with several Spanish dollars of
older date, which were much blackened by
their place of deposit. In the immediate vi-
cinity of these coins was found a thigh bone,
from which-' it was infcrred that the money
was deposited in the breechcs pocket of the
unfortunate owner.
Despatc/res from the Pact:/£c.——By a par-

been forwarded to England by way of Pana-

Narrow Esca,71‘e.—--VVe find the following
in an exchange paper: A gentleman at
(Jig.-eiimd had a \'('I’y narrow escape, on
Sunday of last week,_from the noose of mat-
riinony, He was acting as groomsman to
a friend, who was about to be “tied up.” and
when the parties appeared before the altir,
the Rector mistaking him for the happy
man. placed him beside the bride that was
to be, and asking his name, proceeded with
the nuptial ceremony. The groontstnan
was so astonished, that the service was ball
through before he found tongue. to cxplaiu.—
That being done. an exchange of [laces was
made. and the right parties united.
The ‘Boston Post’ is still in trouble about
the quarrels and divisions in its pwn party.
Commenting on a recent editorial Of the
‘Globe,’ it ta-kes occasion to say:
--This is rt spccimcn of the argument,
fairness, and decorum of a paper that as
sumcs to be the organ of the Democratic
party ofthe nation! the Wasl ington Globe,
[L was by a similar style of ‘snout and tail"
lilcrci.(u.rc. and of course. dictorial, and vin-
dictive denunciation, that the Globe cn7tl1ibu-
led in no smrolf «It-grre to Mr. VanBu.’ren’_s
rlefcat in I840, and if the policy it now ur-
gcs so fiercely should be adopted by the
dsaniocratic party, it will experience as dis-
astrous a defeat in I844 as it did at the close
of the I-I-.irrison campaign.”

Joe Smit/z.—\Ve ha ve already chronicled
the second arrest of Gen. Joe Smith, the
mormon Prophet, near Ottawa, III. on H
requisition from the Governor of Missouri,
charging him with the commission ofcrime
in that State, and his subsequent release at
Nauvoo. .loe appears to know too much
for his enemies. He coaxed them to take
him via Niuvoo, and, once there, be sued
out a writ of liabcas corpus in the Munici-
pal Court of that holy city, which ordered
him to be set at liberty ‘quicker than you
could say Jack Robinson.’ Joe Sloped, and
instantly became invisible. We find further
atlviccs in the last Louisville Journal:
Joe Smith.-—'I‘he Illinois State Register
asserts that the agent of Missouri has applied
to Governor Ford for an armed force to aid
him in arresting Joe again, but the Govern-
or had not decided wbetlior to grant the rc-
quest or not. By this we understand that if
the Mormons will vote for Mr. Hogc. the
Loco foco candidate for Congress. the re-
quest will not be granted; if. on the other
hand, they refuse, then Governor Ford will
turn out the military, to arrest, if possible
the Prophet.

junction with thc Rev. Drs Smith and An-

men—tlius far to reply.
First—In justice to themselves to decline
definitely any defence of an act on their part
of plil'cl_v canoncal discretion.
Secondly-—In justice to Mr. Cary, sol-
emnly to declare, that the answers of the
candidate, as given in the above pamphlet,
do not convey the full and fair impression
produced on their minds by his examination‘.
and that in their judgement, such statement
is calculated to mislead the public mind,nnd
to do injustice to all the parties concerned in
his examination and subsequent ordination.
With this summary notice ofthe statement

own ditty to the Church touching this inat-
tcr to be fully and finally absolved.

famine, as long as the cultivation of the soil
is attended to. Local and partial scarcity
may prevail, but what is the loss ofone sec-
tion, is frcqucntly the gain of some more
fortunate section. Whcn the North is
parchcd with drought, the West or the South
is rejoicing in ft-rtilizing ruins. When the
summer is cool in New York and New
England, it is frequently the warmer and
more genial in Michigan, Wisconsin, or
Ohio; and even a drought which would
burn all vegetation to a crisp, here, does not
-2-xhaust the crop growing energies of the
black muck of the Western prarics,or of
the woodlands. Their new and virgin soil
is comparatively more independent of the-
dews and ruins of hetven. This is the chief‘
reason why the great VVe-st presents so in-
viting a fii-Id to the thrifty, calculating, and
industrious farmr-r. He can place more re-
liance upon the intrinsic qualities ofthe soil
and upon his own exertions, and is less de-
pendent for a return upon the uncertain
events of rain and sun. We have known
wheat ripen finely on the \Vestern praries,
in such cloudy weather as would, in the-
Easteru States. on our thin and comparati-ve-
l_v impoverished soil, give no fullness to the
berry--the exceeding richness and natural
warmth of the western soil in a measure-
supplying the absence ofri warm and ripen-.
ing sun.”
