Original and authentic anecdote Of Hume.
David Hume, author Of the celebrated
History Of England, having, one day, yisi-
ted the house Of certain gentleman, in
Edinburgh, was surprised by the marked
contempt and disgust, egiccd ut his pre-
sence, by small boy, Of about four years
Of uge. "Why do you shun me, my
sweet little fellow ~ enquircd the Phloso-
pher. Because you are not good man
seeing you disbelieye the existence OF
God, replied the child. "Why then do
you not pray for me-" said Hume
Wherenpon, the child, Immediately raising
lns'i,ands and eyes to the Heavens, utter
ed tlis wonderful ejaculation :---@ o God,
be pieosrd 10 impoh 10 him The truth Of thu
er'sieHce." Such WAS the impression
which this brief, emphatic, aud unexpected
prayer produced upon the mind of Hume,

THE PRESIDENCY.
OF De Witt Clinton, the National Repub

Of De Witt Clinton, the National Republi-
can printed in Ohio says,
Such is his character as statesman, and
high standing as liberal and enlightened pol.
itician, in all parts Of the union, and particu-
larly in the western states, we should enter
tain very little doubt of his election TO the
Presidency, if brought forward and supported
by his own State. He stands aloof from the
intrigues and cabals which have been suffered
to embarrass the measures of the Federal gov
eminent, and entirely unconnected with the
petty strifes for Office and the public honours,
and the hostile factions, which surround the
Capitol at Washington. and agitate the ma
ton. 1t is fact, that the present contest for
the presidency, conducted as it is. with the
intemperance OF zeal, and all the virulence
and obstinacy of discussion, has become so
disgusting to the people, that many of the
best and most influential citizens of the large
and most populous states are DESTROYS of unit
ing on some eminent and suitable individual,
against whom the selfish passions which arise
from local prejudices and contracted and in
terested views will not be excited. 1t has
long been matter of surprise to those who
have minutely observed the progress of this
great election, that the people of the middle
states, from which no president has yet been
taken, should permit themselves to be divided
into factions and parties, founded on no other
important distinction, than that which arises
from partiality or hostility to the northern or
southern sections of the union; when they
possess a statesman second to none in the ma
: ton, and against whom the little prejudices OF
the north and the south cannot be urged. MIR.
Clinton is decidedly the most popular candi-
date in Ohio, and we understand that such is
his standing in Indiana, and Illinois; and if
brought forward next winter, by New York,
with prospect of obtaining the electoral
votes of the other middle states. we think the
west would yield the partialities of personal
attachment, to higher considerations, and unite
in the election of man whose great talents
and republican virtues pre-eminently qualify
him for that important station.

in the Bank who filed up the bill, and
the Cashier of the same Bank severalIy
declared their belief that the bill was
genuine. The Cashier, however, after
examining. his records, pronounced it
bad. Who may uot henceforth be cheat
ed, when such judges are deceived.
The confidence of counterfeiters in their
own ingenuity is surprising. One of
them on last Saturday offered two spu-
rious ten dollar bills at bank in
this city, inquiring if they were good.
Bad bills of that denomination being
known to be circulating. the Cashier
pronounced them counterfeit. The ap-
pearance of the man exciting suspicion,
he was secured and searched, and 5000
dolls. in spurious notes were found in his
possession. He is committed to Jail.

British Cotton Manu- lately
gave an account, from authentic documents,
OF the wooden manufactures carried on in
Great Britain. From the same source, we
have ascertained that about 100000 hands,
or persons, chiefly children, are employed in
the spinning of cotton thread. These manu-
tacture as much thread by the power of wa
ter or steam, and the application of the ne W
improved machinery,as could have been done
by % millions eight hundred thousand persons
by the fingers only. Comparatively, there are
but few consumers Of this immense produc-
ton in Great Britain. 1t is taken by about
100 millions Russians, Poles, Germans, and
others, in thread, and by about $50 millions of
the inhabitants of North and South America,
Asia, &c. besides home use, and the consump-
ton of the colonies in every quarter. Calcu-
lations have been made, by which it appears
that the improved power of machinery, in
Great Britain alone, has in the last 40 years
increased to such point, that it now executes
or produces as much of formed fashioned ma
terials, as conld have been done formerly by
mere manual labour of $50 millions of adult
labourers, in the preparation of wool, cotton
silkslace, copper, lead, wood, and other raw
materials. NJ Y. Euening Posi-.
