lP A Meeting of Federal Re-

remarkable example Of popular feTu-
sion has been given at publiclS meeting in
Whitesborough, N. Y. at which resolutions
were passed denouncing Chief Justice Spen-
Ger, of that State, for deciding that man who
disbelieved in state of future rewards and
punishnentsy was an Incompetent witness |;
and one among the reasons, assigned in the
resolutions, is, that the decision of the Chief
Justice is 6 an attempt to establish and main
tain certain denominations of Christians, to
he prejudice of others Wonderful.
This decision of the Court we have under
stood is in conformity with those Of every 9TH
er civilized country. In England such wit
ness was not only rejected, but Kissed out of
Court by the spectators.
When man is interested 30 the amount of
single shilling, he is incompetent to testify.
But, if there is danger from the comparatively
slight temptation of Pecuniary interest, what
sort of security can there be against man
who does not believe there is a Being to pun
ish perjury Besides, how idle, and worse
than idle, to swear a man in the name of One
whom he believes either not to exist, or to ex-
list as an indifferent spectator Of the conduct
of men.
We have said the decision of every other
Court has been the same. In this State, how
ever, it has been decided that the objection
goes only to credbiity, not 10 competency;
and the witness is 1--WE ought to say, has been v
permitted to be sworn. But this is only shift
ing duty from the Court to the Jury--such
witness ought not to be listened to for a mo-
ment.

The Act concerning manufacturing cor
porations, published in this paper, has excited
much speculation. Does it create any new
liability ?-or give any new remedy land
how? are questions which some member Of

satisfaction Of those who do not understand it.

THE ELECTION.

we again urge upon the Federalists Of this
Coat'uy* the Importance of full and general
representation at the Meeting notified to be
held at the Court House this erening. The
way to prevent dissatisfaction and division is
Tor no one, who can avoid it, to neglect giving
the and OF his presence of his counsel If II
be needed--at the meeting held for the primrose
OF ascertaining the viii of the people, and Of
taxing those measures which may be necessary
to unite their wishes and to carry them into
effect. 1t is said there is TO be more than ono
new candidate for the Senate. 1t important,
then, that such candidates be selected as.
from Their personal character and political ex-
Perience, will give weight to the representa-
ton of this County in the Senate. We mean
no dlsrespect to any individual who has at any
time been Senator from this County, when
we say that the County has not always avail
ed itself OF the services OF those whose talents
and experience would the best enable them to
render service to the State. We have been
reluctant at making this declaration but
what has been whispered abroad as well as at
nome, on such subject, ought, not only to be
generally known, but to be profited by.
There is reason to believe the opinion ia
very prevalent among the people, that, in Sc
lectlns candidates for the Senate, the circum-
stance that an individual has been heretofore
a member of that or of some other legislative
body, is, 6y aseLf, rather in favour than against
his being selected. The current Of opinion
has, heretofore, sch in different direction. .
but the opinion first mentioned has been so Off
en- avowed to us, that we feel no hesitation
in giving it publicity.
we seek to crafty no individual wishes
list of candidates which we should most an
prove, would not contain the name of a single
man with whom we have any intimacy. We
only wish that neither the interests nor the
reputation Of the County may suffer from want
OF prudence, from local attachments, or from
personal partialites.
Our readers cannot but have noticed. last
week, what was in fact a clumsy errour of the
press, the use of the word "town'' instead of
Couaty, m the paragraph in which we intend
ed 70 call the attention of the Federalists of
,his County, to the subject'' of the Meeting TO
be held this evening. 1t was discovered in
season. and noted; but, from some misappre
henston on the part of the compositor, finally
went without correction. The errour is of so
peculiar character, that circumstances seem
to require this explanation.
