house of the mold rcfpe&able inhabitants of this
and the neighboring towns. When seated, an
ode called the " origin of Mafunry" was sung
by a beautiful choir of young ladies, supported
by the organ.
After a short blessing, the brethren returned
to the hall, where an elegant repast was pre

and appropriate difeourfe from these words,
"Behold how good and how pleasant it is for

pn Sunday the itth inst. Charles Miller,

of Dr. Rand, of f^id town in,a duel, on Dor

this brutal way of sporting with the lives of
human nature be brought to a close ? There is
pot a Single principle of honor or virtue, which
ought to dignify our nature, but what pride and
money seem wholly to annihilate,or corrupt !—for
my own part, I Should feel more real pride and
honor in making the following reply to a chal

worthy or contemptible of the human Species:

He has therefore fold and transfer
red the firm of said paper, together with
his printing apparatus to Messrs. Wili
liam Treadwell 8c Company, who will
take possession of the fame, on the ift.
day of July ensuing; and who are deter
mined to pay such attention to said pa
per, as to render it equal to any paper
printed in America, and to supply the
present Customers of the Oracle, on the
fame terms arid conditions, that they
have heretofore been supplied upon.—
A transfer of the patronage of all the
present fubferibers is consequently, re
quested, and the present Editor preterits
the future proprietors, and the public,
with his belt wilhes, that the United
States' Oracle of the Day, may continu
ally increase, in excellence of matter,
judiciousness of arr^ngment, beatity of
feledion, orthodoxy of political senti
ment, and neatness of work, until it ar
rives to the complete standard of Typo
graphical perfection.
- The necessity of an immediate settle
ment, with every filbferiber, up to the
ift of July ißot, mutt be obvious to
all. But the Editoris obliged to press
it in the most powerful language, as he
has a very large sum of money to pay
for the very Rock, which has already
supplied his customers with so much
gratification.
As it has been hinted that the tri
umphs of what is called Republicanism,
have leiTened his fubferibers, and induc
ed him to Jell for fear of a further de
crease, he begs leave to repel the
FALSE insinuation, and can produce
a lift of ico new fubferibers, who have
unfolicitedly entered within a very few
past months, (in addition to his form
er numerous lift,) and excepting the
memorable phalanx, who wheeled off,
when Government called for the sup
porting energies of the press, he has not
to mention the loss of any fubferibers.
They went, they are gone. He makes
no lamentations.
Owing to an impaired Rate of health
and the excessive fatigue unavoidably
attendant on the publication ot News-
Papers, the Editor of the United
States Oracle, conceives it a duty
that he owes to himfelf and family, to
transfer said paper to some able hand,
who can support itsgta/gfadreptitation,
& maintain the purity of its principles.
