= II IS amusing 10 see the caDtipg and
hypocrihcal expression in tie Providence
dnlerlc0n, which says, " We ore happy 10
state that our fellow -citiztns in the coun-
try have fixed their attention ON a gen
tltman of distinguished or,b, as a can.
dldate tor Congress, in the place Of Mf.
Eday." That is, their fellow nc tar-
~ federal citizens would irfer that Mr..
Eddy is not gentleman OF dis,inguish-
ca Worth. Two oliersipns, J aSrtoid.
The mo parry" have raised against MIR.
Eddy, as the ostensiblc cause Of their
hostility first, his religious tene,s--
second, his vote on the Missouri q,ies-
tion. Let the lion skin be stijpt from
the writer OF the Providence An,sylean,
who is " willing to wound and yet afraid
to strike, ",Whlie We examine for our
selves whether the gentleran of dis,in-
guished worth, or Mr.. EDDY, has more
uniformly cherish. d the principles Of this
"hrst civil Government upon earth that
gave equal liberty of conscisncen--
whether he has been more exemplary.in
his lie and conversations whether he
has given more uniform and unrcpii-
ted attention to the interest ct the state
whether he has been more faithful in the
execution Of the duties OF bis sfice ;---
If not shall Mr.. Eddy, who has had the
almost unanimous voice of the freemen
in his favor, successfully and unin,er.
ruptedly, for more than twenty years,
through every mutation of party-in re-
lation to whom, shall any one now have
the impudence to insinuate that he is not
a gentleman Of distinguished W orth Is
not this an insult to the great body of
freemen? AS to the religious tenets of
MIR. Eddy, whether catholic, puritan, or
any dogma he may imbibe, is a question
between him and his Maker only; and
with which We have no kind of right TO
intermeddle. Any one, therefore, who
attempts to persecute on account Of re.
ligious opinions, deserves the contempt
OF all mankind. Respecting Mr.. Ed
dy's vote on the Missouri question--for
myself, as friend to putting limit to
the worse than beastly practice of enslay-
ing a. part Of the human race, MIR.
EDDY has my entire appreciation. and is
entitled to that Of every we'll wisher to
the permanent well being a's union Of
our great Republic for if am rightly
informed, already does great prejudices
exist in the Western country, that the
objections We nave against the cultiva.
ton Of the western lands, by slaves, is
intrinsically, to retard the settlement and
population Of the western stat,s lest they
should preponderate in the national scale.
If then, such prepossessions do exist a.
gainst US, was it not wisdom to put
limit at once TO such jealousy, and al
the same time to limit slavery in that
extensive country--to which end MIR.
Eddy gave his vote. y,

RUSSIA.

Being in company few days ago with
An American gentleman of the strictest
veracity. and now resident in Ohio,
but recently returned from visit u Rus
sia, we, in the course of conversation,
learned number Of particulars which
were new and interesting tO US, and we
have no doubt, will be so to most OF our
readers.
The peasantry in most parts of that
extensive empre are totally unlrttered
and have but vague ideas Of civilized life,
and many OF them ii, a state Of complete
barl,arism The men never shave nor
comb their boards the consequence is,
they become firmly matted and full OF
vermin, which the flthiness Of their hab-
its and the it!lenrss Of their dispositions
induce them to take no great pains to de-
stroy. Their miserable huts and their
customary food tally exactly with their
disgusting personal appearance as to
loathsomeness and their clothing is prin-
cipally the undressed skins Of wild ami
mails. The Emperor, whom our inform
ant considers the most wise and sagacious
statesman that Europe can beast Of, has,
at present, a peace establishment o. orc
million Of men. The private soldiers
arc all taken from the above described
peasantry. Their boards, notwithstand-
ing the sacred vencration in which the
possessors hold them, arc smoothly sha-
ven; their vermin all destroyed. CON-
.plete sui, of military uniform is put on
sthem, and the customary weapons OF war
are pun into their hands. All this, as
strange as il may appear, does not cost.
the government cent, for they are made
to support themselves. The day is di.
.vided into four equal parts; one six hours
isdevo,ed to drilling and field evolutions;
six hours to sleep, six to labor at some
: mechanic art or to cu,ivating gardens ON
fields for the,u of the army contractors
on the market of the town near which
squadron may be stationed. and the re-
manning six hours they are ON duty as
sentinels. They are constantly relieving
each otl'er at the end of each quarter OF
the day. and thus a continued roti;e Cf
theh several duties arc kept up, except
when nc hours Of labor return, then each

ploymen; 'vhiss was Srst assignee. him.

Among TO class or sect in Our cnun-
try, are fever instances of extreme pov.
e.ty and distress to be found, than "a
mong those persons denoyninated Friends
on Quakers. Scarcely DO we rccollect
anpng tbose social communities, one
instance Of that absolute indolence,
which demoralises the individual and
produces such distress ia his family, as
not unliequently renders life burthen
to its unfortunate members. IL we look
for the reasons why this class of persons
arc more generally in better circumstap.
ces than others of their fellow citizens,
We shall find them in their persevering
industry, and that spirit Of economy
which discourages from extravagant and
luxurious living. To the former, in
particular, may be attributed their sue.
cess as merchants, mechanics and far.
mers. Industry, in every calling or
profession, is requisite to advancement.
With the importance Of this moral vir.
tue, the Quakers are carly impressed in
youth; it makes part of their. educa-
tion, and becomes in life habitual. AL
though we do not wish society to EN-.
brace all the peculiarities Of the Friends |;
yet, We could wish to see their industry
and economy in practice, in every do
mestic circle. Then would much of
that pccuniary distress, in which the ma
ny are involved, disappear from among
us, by the absence Of one Of its greatest
causes.

YNHE subscriber having from the frs,

entering all accounts in future in the firm
OF JOHN CHANDLER & Sons, feels it Of
great importance to have his accounts set
tied up to that time, and very sensible Of
the necessity OF having them settled by
himself, does most earnestly request, that
all who have accounts or notes unsettled
would call at his old stand, where his
books are attended 10 by himself and son,
and the balances settled by note, or as

this may be sufficient notice, and save
