Maelwe's Geological Enquiries.
William Mcclure, Esq after a residence of
nine or ten years in Europe, returned last sum-
!!.e- &c New FORK, amt Immediately commenced
tour through the eastern and northern states,
to explore their geological constitutions We un-
derstand that this enterprizing and able travel
Ter mas already examined, to considerable e1-
tent, Maine, New-Hampshire, Vermont, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode-Island, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and
Maryland. And for the purpose of employing
himself more advantageously during The winter,
he went to Georgia, where, with less inconve-
nience from frost and snow, he might pursue his
scientific researches in the south 1t is reported
that this gentleman has already delineated on
map, the principal strata ofrocks, mountains and
earths which lie has observed during his Jour-
neys 1t will be ahighly interesting spectacle for
naturaliss, to behold this part of the earth pour
trayed on sheet, so as to exhibit at one view,
all Its great ingredients, the whole Gifts FREEDOM
mating materials. The primoevai or granitical
strata may thus be sgnified by one color, both a,
TO the region they occupy and their extent
och'sfms or slaty strata may be designated by
some other color; cdicarious rocks of lime. stone
and marble by third sand stone by a fourth ;
and secondary or alluvial tracts, forming plains
ana values, may be distinguished by still diff
ierent pant. BY adopting some such plan, the
Kind and prevalence of different strata through
out the country, and their meteorological struc-
ture, may be embraced by the eve on a chart of
this sort, at single glance. AS the completion
OF this design will both add to our stock of sci
entc knowiedge, and reflect honor on our cha
racter as people, we earnestly hope that Mr..
M. WILDE enabled to go through an undertak
ing, for which he appears to possess uncommon
qualifications.
J Mr.. Mcclure returned a few weeks since
through this City from the South. We under
stand, that he employs himself in the laudable
plan IN collecting Information about the Schools,
as well as the Soil ofthe U. Sing.
Onte Of York and Mrs. Clarkc-Wm Goblet,
in his Political Register of February IS, makes
the following remarks upon this disgusting SUBJ
lect
Now is the time for the people to ask the
re'hefs "t SIR Francis DaTdaett, whether me was
so very much tn blame, when he told the cleo
tors of Westminster, that no good was to be ex-
pected, till we could tear out the leaves of the
accursed Red Book" Colonel French, and cole
mel knight. and captain Donavan, and Captain
Sanden, and Mr. Dowler, AMI the rest of the nu-
Iaerous petticoat-patronsed crew, are all to be
found in that Red Book, the leaves of which he
wished to tear out. His voice will, trust, now
be heard by those who were before misled if.
indeed, there could be such trust that
now, the venal disclaimers about Jacobinism,"
VIII no longer be able to blind the understand
ing OF any man, however simplet hat man NAV be-
Inc man, who now affects to believe, that deep
rooted system of corruption does not prevail
must be an arrant knave and, of course, none
but an arrant knaye will affect to believe, that
radical reform of that system, and speedy one
too, is not necessary TO the preservation of the
throne, as well as of the remaining liberties of
the people. But, in the mean time, and, indeed
as necessarily conducive to this reform, let the
people bear in mind, that it is their money that
has been sported with that it was not colonel
Frenchs money, nor MIR Dowler's money, that
the duke ct YOrk's kept mistress took, and that
was expended upon her footmen, chario.s, inusi
Clans, singers, players, dancers, parasites, pimps
and bawds, but i'll the end the nloney of tie beo-
pie This is the important truth for them to
keep in view. Let every father of family con-
slider how much less, from this cause, he will
have to bequeath his children. When those
who formerly lived iD affluence from the rent of
their estates, reflect how they have been Obliged
TO dismiss servant after servant sell horse after
horse abridge pot after got of the ale that for
mery gladdened the heart of the conner; ave
and to cut down tree after tree and to sell acre
after acre let all such persons, when, with ach-
ing heart, they reflect, think of Mrs Clarke,
and the services OF plate, and the wine glasses,
at a guinea piece, and the rafting Carriages,
and the laced footmen, and the musicians, and
the singing boys, and the players and the dan
GERS, and the pimps, and the bawds, in Glouces-
ter place and let every mind in the kingdom be
fixed upon the scene described by Miss TAYLOR,
every tongue repeat, and every ear tngle at the
words HoaV does French behave to Darling ?'
Darling How many widowed mother has had
TO pronounce that word over a child, driven from
beneath her roof by the penury produced by
these and similar cOrruptions Look into fami-
lies, once respectable in point of fortune, and you
lind them consisting of crowd of helpless fe-
males, unable to work and shamed to beg the
sons all forced away, for want of the means DOS
sessed by their father, to seek subsistence from
patronage, to get back again some small portion
OF what their father had paid in taxes, and, in or
der to succeed, creeping to those whom that ia
Their would have despised nay, perhaps, the
last stake of the family is converted into a bribe
for vVhe,e, while score of breasts are filed
with anxiety lest the sum should not be sufficient
Thus has the nation been degraded its spirit
subdued its heart broken and its property
rendered prey to the infamous reptiles, who,
at last, stand exposed to its excavations, and who,
trust, are at M great distance from the hour OF
