5. Drew, Merchant Tailor,
Remcved from Fairfar- street to the corner
of King aad Columbus streets, and
has prices falling
- ESPECTFULLY acquaints his custo-
4 q mers and the citizens in general that
he has removed as above, where he will
study TO give satisfaction. He has by him
a small but we'll assorted stock of goods,
which will be found on inspection TO be OF
the best quality, the whole of which he
wishes to sell low for cash, and IS further
inducements to purchasers he offers to cut
out any goods, bought of him to any size or
pattern gratis.
s. Drew aware, of the advantage ready
credit is given, thinks that.a distinction
ought to be made in the prices in each case:
and as the price of provisions are low at
present, he is glad 10 be able to announce
to those customers who will feel disposed
to pay him ready money for his work, that
he will reduce the price of making to them
according to the present Journeymen's wa
ges and to prevent any supposed Imposi-
ton on the one hand or dissatisfaction on the
other he is willing to be governed by the
printed regulations of prices by which the
journeymen are paid in Alexandria,
N. B. Bread, flour, beef, groceries, Ii
quors or any thing valuable taken in ex.
change for clothes.
Drew has this day opened tavern
in the same house, where he has laid in
a supply of Philadelphia and the district
porter and ale, together with liquors OF the
best quality, and he feels confident that he
shall be able to give satisfaction to all
who will please to favor him witha call.
He is fitting up his house for the accommo-
dation OF boariers, travellers, SC. and from
its central situation, good beds and stab

Finding that he had found source Of
comfort, Of which the world could not de-
prive him, nor ten thousand worlds afford
him, and concluding thence that | might
venture to satisfy my anxious desire TO
learn his opinion of the married state,
even at this gloomy termination--I re-
marked, " Al las !! my friend, how dearly
do you pay for your shortlived connu-
bal Joys Tell me with that candor
which you are wont to use-do not your
present sorrows more than equal your
late enjoyment" F" No, my dear Porter"
replied he, "you estimate things very
enormously. True, the affective dis
pensation under which grieve, is pain
full beyond the imagination of one whose
heart has never felt a similar stroke. But
alb you little know the luxury ofwoe."
The sweet remembrance OF her love still
fills my heart with the most delicious,
though exquisitely keen sensations. o
with what gentle affection did she turn
my devious steps into the path of duty
and delight! How emphaticafly do her
admonitions, breathed in the language of
love, and enforced by the most eXempla-
ry life and conduct, now recur to memo
~, and draw me, as it were, after her to
heaven. Believe, me, my friend" conti-
nued he, grasping my hand with fervor, ga
life of sorrow, though prolonged to the
patriarchal data, would che lily purchase
even three short years of felicity which
it has pleased merciful God to grant
me in her heart, and q trust eternally)
profitable society"
He was stopped by the violence ofhis
emotion--but has often since declared,
that his heartfelt grief partakes more of
happiness than he ever could have felt
in state of cold, unfeeling celibacy.

LONDON, SEPT. 2S.

LeHef from Fart GroSUenor
To the Treasures appointed in West
minister, to receive subscriptions for
the relief of the sufferers at Manches-
ter, &c. &c.
GeMiemen-I have desired SOL to be
placed to your account. Though no
friend to Universal Suffrage and An
nual Parliaments, l trust am so to the
principles of universal justice and hu-
manly, which involve the great maxims
of equal law to the rich and poor, to the
magistrate who executes. and people who
obey it.
Whatever may have been the objects
of those who called, or those who COM
posed the meeting at Manchester, which
was attended with such disastrous con-
sequences, the laws of the land ought,
unquestionably, on that melancholy oc-
casion, to have been respected; whether
they are so, or not, is the question now
eagerly asked by all impartial persons.
Any attempt to stihe full investiga-
ton of the circumstances connected
with this question, should it for mo-
ment be contemplated by those IN pow
er, would not only be highly injurious to
the cause of truth, and the best interests
OF the country, but extremely calling to
the friends and relatives of those who
have fallen, or who nave been sufferers
in these unfortunate transactions and
also to the feelings of an anxious, loyal,
open hearted, but now, alas, much dis
tressed and deeply agitated (not to say
irritated) nation.
The ministers, with breathless haste,
PREJUDICE this important question, while
they are authortatively calling on others
not to do so they say, indeed, that is the
laws are Violated, the tribunals of the
country are open to afford redress-may
their portals be widely expanded ON this
occasion.
| am, gentlemen, your most obedient
servant.

The Dublin Morning Post mentions,
that puDllC meetings, "lor the discus
sion of the late transactions in Manches-
ter" were already notified and were
soon to be held, at the following places:
at York, at Leeds, in the Paris Church
of Cripple gate, London, at Nottingham,
at Birmingham, at Harwick, at Carlisle,
and at Portsmouth. 1t is also stated,
that deputation from the Rcformers,
Significantly styled Radicals, had visited
the towns of New Castle, Stockton,
Sunderland, and North Shields, for the
purpose of arranging plans for public
meetings. CAT other places" says the
Morning Post, subscriptions have been
privately entered into for the relief of the
sufferers at Manchester, and the prose-
cution to condign punishment Of the au-
thors of the enormities of the 9Th Of
August. This has been done at Chi
chester, Kendall, and Hincklev; and
we understand there are several other
places where like course is pursuing"

DOMESTIC.

Public Meetng.-The meeting of the
citizens of New-York, which we men,
toned few days since as about TO be-
notified, for the purpose of expressing
their opinion Oh the subject of admitting
Slavery into the states hereafter TO be
formed, we are happy to find is to be
held on Tuesday evening of next week,
Nov 2S) The extreme importance of
the subject we have 10 doubt will be cx-
tensively felt and acknowledged, and the
meeting be numerously attended.
In pursuance of the examples set Ivy
the citizens OF New-Jersey, in addition
to the measures taking in this city, the
Boston Daily Advertiser of Wednesday
suggests the propriety of town meeting
i'll Boston, and we understand that SINH
lar movement is making in Philadelphia.
Although it is near the time when con-
gress meet, yet much may be done in
the free states, by the adoption Of timely
and energetic measures regarding this
deeply interesting question, and we hope
that much will be done before the point
shall be finally and irrevocably settled.
We repeat an idea, which cannot be too
often brought home to the consideration
of the public, especially in this part OF
the U. States, THAT THIS CUES
TON INVOLVES NOT ONLY
THE FUTURE CHARACTER OF
OUR NATION, BUT THE FL.
TURE WEIGHT AND INFLU.

Vermont Colonization Society.-An
institution under this title, auxiliary to
the American Colonization Society, was
organized i'll Vermont on the 25th Oct.
Gov. Galusha was chosen President, and
the Hon. Elijah Paine and G. p. Van
Ness, Esq. Vice. Presidents. The fol-
lowing remarks on the subject are copied
from S The Watchman."
/" we could not but rejoice at the
deep interest manifested by gentlemen
of the legislature and others, at the for
nation of this institution; an institution
which embraces in its benevolent designs
not only the colonization, but eventually
the emancipation from bondage of that
abused and degraded portion of the hui
man race, who have hitherto been bought
and sold by trafhckers in human flesh.
We trust every citizen of Vermont will
feel a conscious pride in having his name
enrol!tl on the constitution of this So
ciety. While we offer up to the God Of
Heaven the incense of grateful hearts
for the civil and religious liberty which,
he has vouchsafed to bestow on our hap
Ply republic; let it no longer be re-
proach to our name, or stain upon our
national character, that slavery is tole-
rated or encouraged. The government
of the United States is sensibly awake OH
this subject; and we fondly cherish the
hope that every state in the union will )
lend its aid in this laudablc enterprise.
No matter what the color ofhis skim
no matter in what climate he first breath
ed the vital air--the moment rational
and mortal being sets foot upon the soil,
