FIRST PRAYER IN CONGRESS.
"' \Vc published sotiie days since, an extract
from John Adams to a friend. speaking of the
‘first prayer in Congress.’ A correspondent has
sent to the Christian Register a copy ofa pray-
er, found among the papers ofthe Rev. Mr.
Little, formerly ministers of Kennebtink. Maine
which was filed as ‘Duche’s prayer upon the
Declaration of Independence,” and which is
probably the prayer spoken of by Mr. Adams.
\Ve copy it from the Register:
T/re Rev. Mr. Du.c/ie’s Prayer in Congress
after Indcpenrlence was declared.
O Lord! our heavenly Father high and
mighty, king of kings, who dost from thy
'l‘lirone behold all the dwellers upon Earth
and reigneth with power supreme and un-
controlled over all Kingdoms, Empires and
Governments, look down in mercy, we be-
seech thee, upon these our American States,
who have fled to thee front the rod ofthe op-
pressor, and thrown themselves upon thy
gracious Pi'otection, desiring henceforth to
be only dependent upon thee. 'l‘o thee have
they appealed for the Righteousness of their
cause. To thee do they now look up for‘
that Countenance and Support which thou
alone canst give; take them therefore lieav-
cnly Father, under thy nurturing care, give
them wisdom in council and valor in the
field, defeat the malicious designs of our
cruel Adversaries, convince them ofthe tin-
righteousness oftheir cause, and ifthey still
persist in their sanguinary purposes, Ol let
the voice of thine own unerringjustice sotrn-
ding in their Hearts, constrain them to drop
the weapons of war from their unnerved
llands in the day of Battle. Be thou pres-
ent, O God of wisdom, and direct the coun-
cils ofthis honorable Assembly, enable them
to settle things on the best and surest foun-
dations, that the Scene of Blood may be spe-
dily closed, that order, harmony and Peirce
effecttinlly be restored, and truth and justice,
Religion and Piety prevail and flourish a-
mongst thy People, preservethe Health of
their Bodies, and the vigor of their minds.
Shower down upon them and the millions
they here represent stich Temporal Bless-
ings as thou seest expedient for them in this
world and crown them with everlasting
Glory in the world to cotne. All this'we
ask in the name and through the merits of
Jesus Christ, thy son, our Saviour. Amen.
NEVV JERSEY.
The New York Tribune gives the following
reasons for the defeat cfthe Whigs in New Jer-
sey: '
A prominent question made use of by them
was the proposed revision of the State Con-
stitution , but the cause of this defeat is the
Money P.)weralonc, and that most eflectually

lecting a close orgtuizttion in the several
townships, and selecting in each such ofthe
poor belonging to the \Vhig ptirty as could
be purchased by ‘filthy lucre'—prit:es va-
rying from $5 to 320. Three townships in
lV'IlddlcSt3X furnished over one hundred vic-
tims to this new test of Modern Democracy.
But the greatest exploits of the new Coali-
tion were in Morris. There a wholesale
business was effected, and money enough ex-
pended to btiy three good Jersey farms. The
Co_nting«-nt fund of the National Govern-
ment has paid dearly for tliefatse promise of
securing the vote of New Jersey for John
Tyler in the Loco Convention. and the large
inherited fortune ofthe Member elect, is tlso
lessened :1 few thousand dollars. Midtllesex

The unfortunate divisions among the
\Vhigs in the Fifth District lost its Hudson
and l’.issaic counties, which are certain to
give Clay from 5 to 600 rriajority, and the
District at least 2000. Wright, irregular
whig is elected over Kinney by H00. The
Locos by this quarrel haveaccoinplislied all
they expected. save that ofgetting the Essex
Delegation: but the fury of the storm is now
spent, and the atmosphere will be the clear-
er for the great battle of ’44. Martin Van
Buren can never receive the vote of New
Jersey.
TI/ler Victory.—'l‘he New York Auro-
ra, Mr. Tyler's organ, would deprive the lo-
co locos of the small crumb ofcom.-‘oil which
they lay claim to frotn New Jersey, by giv-
ing to Captain Tyler and his friend Captain
Stockton, all the glory of the recent defeat of
the tvhigs there! The Aurora promises
that in the loco ftco National Convention the
vote of New Jersey will be given to John
Tyler! Has it come to this that the once
proud and victorious loco loco party are‘ de-
pendent upon John Tyler for the only victo-
ry which they have achieved otit of all their
recent contests ?

since from the coast of Africa, where she
had been boarded several times by British

boarding officers made no attempt to search
the vessel. merely looking at the clearance
or register, and often piircliasitig supplies of
such articles as they stood in need of.

SicAii_s;gni~:ss,i_;:_s in I_30STOH.—-The following
sad%t'atemeiils,e'mbrace some of ihe"_ facts ‘that
hav:ebeen' elicited at the meetings of the seam-
stresses of Boston :
"One lady stated that she received only
twenty cents for a pair oftliick pants, which
it took her all day to make, eight cents for
another pair, and for a handsome bluejacket,
fifty cents, which the employer got 552 for.
One lady got twenty cents for a nice vest.—-
Another ft-male whose husband was sick,
worked ope, week every day from early
dawn till 2 and 2 1-2 o’clock in the morning
laboriously and incessantly, and earned only
$1 96 per week. She said she cotild not
do it another week if she was to suflier for
bread. Another woman present with her
daughter, worked early and late for fifteen
or sixteen hours on sailor's blue shirts, and
with the help of a feeble daughter, could
only make one per day. for which she only
got fifteen cents, or one centpcr /1011.7‘. They
were obliged to work thus. Another got
twelve and a half cents for such shirts——
(U. S. service shirts.) One case was men-
tioned where shirts were made forfriur cents.
One slight girl, who had parents. with three
sisters besides herself, who paid $1 50 for
rent per week, worked early and late sixteen
and eighteen hours, and got twenty cents tor
thick mixed pints, and eight cents for over-
alls and over frocks. There was no instance
of pants being made at eight cents. It was
stated also by a lady in private conversation
that one girl who asked for more wages.
was told that if she wanted more, the houses
of ill fame are open to her.”
Perpetual Fair.—-A committee of the
Mechanics Institutc have‘ issued a circular
proposing that a convention of delegates
from the several associations in this city
forthe promotion of the Arts, Science and
Literature, be ht-ld at the N. Y. Socio.-ty’s

Let’s have a two days’ session. And to
make tlie- meeting an effective one— which
can be looked upon as the ‘starting point’ to
a glorious triumph in the spring, it is oft/ie
utmost importance that Every 'I‘own should
send a _/all delegation. This is essential
for various reast.ns—The strength of ~ttit-
delegation will very clearly indictite the state
of feeling in the several towns; the interest
manifested in one ofthe most important d{j-
tics that devolve upon free and enlightened"
ci_tazens—that of expressing their preference
for those whom they would have ‘rule over
them’—-and also the strength each totvn is
prepared to exert on the day of trial. We
say, that to have :1 Convention that shall ful-
ly accomplish the objects for which it is to
convene, it must be attended by full delega-
tions froni every town. And it little individ-
ual exertion will secure this. Let each town
see to it that it is fully represented in the

Joshua R. Giddings is re-elected front the
Cleveland district, although vehemently op-
posed by the political Abofitionists, whose
candidate stumped the district, with the vain
hope that he could dt.-feat Giddin.s. Here
is a striking illustration of the sincerity of
the Third Party advocates. No man has
shown himself a moretliorougli advocate for
‘the Rights of Man than Joshua R. Giddings.
No man has received such an unqualified
meed of praise from the political abolition-
ists themselves. as the gallant defender ofthe
rights and the interests of Northern Free-
men. And yet no stone has been left unturn-
ed to defeat his election by these same party
abolitionists, and thet too for the purpose of
placing in his seat-a bitter, uncompromising
locofuco.

redress, there ought to be provided remedies

John B. Dwight, a Tutor in Yale Col-

mencement of the term, it few students were
reusing some of the Freshmen in the College
Yard. The crowd, in all some twelve or
fifteen, was dispersed by the tutors. Soon
after however, about half ofthe number had
met a second time, when Mr. Dwight and
another person went out and seized two of
the disobedient persons, and while Mr.
Dwight was drawing his man towards the
light, he received from him three stubs about
the left thigh from a dirk knife, which caus-
ed him to relinquish his hold. These
wounds on examination were thought not to
be dangerous. Fassitt fled and was expelled
from College and here the matter rested.-w

wounds.
The affair was not alluded to in the pub-

VVe last week gave an article signed “Se-

thew \Vilcox. “Sccundus” has now sent us
another of about the sume_ calibre asihefiist. In
publishing the first article, we did it without
being satisfied of any probable good or evil
resulting from it. to the cause of abolition, as if
appeared to its to lack argument, and in no
way to effect the positions uf"A Layman."-
It in no riianncr ineels hisargumenis. As
the present article is of the some character, we
decline giving it a place. If our Abolition
friends feel that. they have not had a fair hearing
let them send us some heavier metal, and we
will give tlieiti an equal chance with their oppo-
nent——"A La11m:m°” Farther than that we do
not care to go into a discussion ofthe subject.

By the late arrivals, it seems that the sover-
eignty has been restored to Kamehameha _
Ill. It will be remembered it was wrested'
from him by Lord Paulet. commander ofthe
British frigate Carysfort. Being now recog-
nized by France, England and the United
States, her independence will be firmer fixedl
than ever. Articles of agreement have been
drawn, which are reported at length. In it,
Kamehameha promises to protect all British;
subjects residing in his dominions, and. to.
put them on a footing with those of the most:
favored nations. He also promises to re-
ceive, at any time, the captain of any British
ship of war, who shall ask an interview on
national subjects, and allow him an inter‘
preter.
