You are requested 10 give public no
tee that PHILLIP The Grand Deputy, is
again PAGE ing over the land of Ned,
into every logging-swamp, every nook
and corner, to procure signcrs to pc
tilian, which has for It's object the re-
moval of Hannibal Hamlin, Esquire,
from the ShcriHship Of Oxford County,
and the appointment Of - John Nc
MILAN in his stead /. !! Il seems, Sit,
the wholesome 1aggellations of" jonas
the Scribe" although they made the
Deputy roar Justify for a while, are
likely to have, upon him, no lasting,
beneficial effect. For with his wonted
impudence, while he holds Depute-
ton under Major Hamlin, and willis
travelling, in different parts Of the c0sp-
try, to perform the business he acquires
through the the medium of that depu-
tation, he is circulating petition for
the removal of the man by whose lib
crafty and friendship he ought to con-
slider himself as infinitely obliged. If
such shameless, such unblushing meas
ures continue to be resorted 10, by the
demagogues of Oxford, for the remov-
al of their Sheriff, it is hoped the actors
in these disgraceful scenes, will not fail
of reapinig their reward-that the fin-
ger OF scorn may point them out for
public detestation---thst the lash of sat-
ire may inRict many wound, and make
them smart and bleed at every step,
till they shall be glad to seek their ma
tive obscurity to shield them from mer-
tied contempt. 1t is hoped /" J0Has ths
Scribe" and Bfldad the Parasite" will
never leave nor farsake them but con-
inue to apply their well directed cssd-
cations, and lash s4c rascaEs naked
through Tie world"
Jonas is requested, however, after
having inflicted such a bitter drubbing
on the hound of the chase, to turn his
attention from him, and boldly attack
the office huntev, who sets him on.-
BY the bye, Mr.. Shirley, it is said that
many Of the hardy, honest and indus
trlous los-men, knowing that This sys-
tenn Of persecution was intimately con-
nected with thae which prevents the
sale of their lumber, told the Deputy
that their fingers were 50 benumbed
from long Non.iaEereourse with the
genial warmth Of prosperity, that they
could not subscribe his paper and
therefore, requested he wosld make
lis way out OF the swamp with all pos.

voice. to their influence, he is indebted
for his Gle vation. So long as this condi'
ton of things continues, what ordinary
executive will refuse to accommodate those,
who. in SO distinguished a manner, have
accommodated him! Is there a better res-
son, in the world, Why a man should give
you, Mr.. Chairman, an Office worth two,
or three, thousand dollars a year, for which
you are qualified, and which he could give
as well as not, than this, that you had been
greatly Instrumental in giving him one,
worth FIVE and twenty thousand, for which
he was equally qualified. 1t is in vain to
concealit it. So long as the present condi-
ton of things continue, it may reasonably
be expected that there shall take place re-
~gularly, between the president of the Uni
ted States and a portion Of both houses of
congress, an interchange, strictly speaking
of good Offices.
The principle, for which contend, and
which is the basis, both of the original "a
mendment, and of my proposition, is this:
put it out of the power of the executive to
seem to pay any of the members of con.
gress, by putting tout of their power to
receive. Avoid the appearance of evil"
We have been taught to pray, "lead US
not into temptation" They who rightly
estimate their duties may find, in public
life, no less necessity, than in private life,
frequently to repeat this aspiration.

was known before ; walnut from 10 to -

cord. During this time exsortion wen,
forth in various shapes it was seen in
our wood yards and On board of our wood
boats, nor were attempts left untried by
people from some of the ne~ighbouring
towns to take due advantage of the 2oykers.
They brought their OK loads, and having
learnt the highest prices, were sure to 90
still higher.-Some sold it out by the SIM
gle stick, at the rate of about one quarter
higher than by the load. Two fellows
whose names we did not hear, came into
Chatham street, and made a halt with a
load each, for which they conscienciousIy
asked fourteen dollars apiece. This was
