THE PRESIDENCY.

If we are to Judge from present appearan-
ces, there can be but little doubt of the cleo
ton off. Q. Adams, and it is most likely that
choice will be effected by the people. The
late renewed attack on the health of the Sec
Rotary o! the Treasury has satisfied many, who
are otherwise favourable 10 him, that it would
be unsaie to elevate him to station. which is
of 50 much consequence, aud which requires
the ta'l possession of every faculty. The un-
certainty who will be the Vice President gives
increased weight to this consideration. The
tact,;also, that the leading Crawfordtcs are,
generally, men in whose political integrity the
people have no confidence, has operated, with
considerable effect, against the caucus nomi-
nation. A combination of untoward circum-
stances has, therefore, destroyed his chance Of
success, who, on many accounts, had decided
advantages over his opponents, and il is now
considered very doubtful whether he can be
sure of the vote Of more than two States. On
the other hand, the popularity of Gen. Jack
son, which, for while, increased with an I'M
exampled rapidty, has, since the publication
of his correspondence, come to stand.
1t is remarked that most of those. who for
any cause, quit either of the other candidates,
join in support of John Q. Adams. In South
Carolina his popularity is fast increasing, sev-
eral of their ablest papers having recently es-
poused his cause, and his friends already speak
with great confidence of his obtaining the vote
of that State. In North Carolina, also, here
tofore considered a Crawford State, it is now
said the vote will he divided between Adams
and jackson. In Ohio and Indiana the Adams
papers appear to be- sOnfdent of success, and,
even in Virginia, he will receive powerful
support, and, if Crawford should be Withdrawn
will unquestionably obtain the electoral vote
of that State.
For our own part, whoever the people may
select, we shall endeavour to be satisfied. and
our only wish is, that he may succeed, whose
elevation will best promote the true interests
and the honour of the country.

! book which cannot lie, the awful denuacia-
lions pronounced against those who persevere
| ia walking therein: He may not imlnedi-
dtety become christian he may nereT join
| himself to the number of the faithful, and
walk with them to happiness and peace be-
yond the grave bat unless his heart is steel
ed against every serious impression, unless he
is entirely given over to a reprobate mind,
that holy lesson of his youth will often and Of
ten return to him and It cannot but have a
salutary influence on his conduct. | know
there are many whom no religious instruction
| seems to make better !; there are men who
had the fervent prayers and tender admoni-
lions and instructions of pious and affection
ate parents in their childhood and youth, and
who yet grow up to bring down their grey
hairs in sorrow to the grave there a-e those
whom even the prayers and tears and I'M
| wearied exertions ola religious mother do not
save from dishonor here, and destruction and
misery hereafter; but praised be God the
exception does not prove the rule, and il
| there rs any thing upon which we may rely
with confidence, it is that God will bless the
seed which is sown in His name, and If it
does nA bring forth thousand fold, it may
ffty-it Sabbath Schools will not be the
means, under God, of making pious christians
of Gle pupils, they most assuredly will, with
his blessing, make good members of Society,
and this is surely not little.
| And now leave this interesting, subject,
with single admontion to parents. You
have brought iato heing number otimmortal
souls, whose future happiness and virtue de-
pend, under Providence, in great measure
upon you. Yours is fearful responsibility,
and oh see to it that You do not neglect
your duty TO your children. If you do not
send them to the Sabbath School, tram them
up at home an HE nurture and admonitioa of
the Lord, and yours and theirs will be the
blessing.

: Caution to II'oolten Menufacturers--
The lite fire near Germantown, origin
ated by spontaneous combustion in
waste wool. Though but twenty to
fifty pounds had accumulated, vet il
produced most dense smoke, aud gas
which took fire like gunpowder. The
building was so simultaneously in a
blaze that not an article could be saved
The oils used in The waste wool we're
olive and speFmaceti, each kind had
been SO repeatedly used before without
any injury, that no danger was appre-
hended. Repeated experiments that |
have made, prove that l;nseed oil will
readily ignite with waste wool in twen-
ty four hours, but none had been suffer
ed about the mill for years. Within
the last week, olive oil had been used.
1t perhaps had been previously rdultu-
rated with other Vegetable oil, although
bought for genuine olive oil, aud from
the use of This oil the fire is supposed to
have occurred. The above circunstan-
ceS snow thc rapidly Of flame connect
ed with the causes mentioned--a and
that several small closely packed par
GELS OF wool, should have been exposed
to most intense fire, aud yet not bgrned
IN the centre, also proves how little gen
eral danger there is Of setting fire to
wool.

THE CHILD'S FRIEND.
Mn. EDIroR.

Mn. EDrroR.
1t will doubtless be gratifying to the pres
ent Executive. that an opportunity is soon TO
be afforded, to place in the very responsible
and lucrative Office of Sheriff OF the County of
Worcester, one of its political friends, with
out resortinS to its power of removal. Thorn
as w. Ward, Esq. of Shrewsbury, has held
that office nineteen years, excepting an inter-
mission of about seven months, when it wac
the Honorable Executives pleasure TO remove
him to crafty party feelings for he was
born and bred, and will die disciple of the
Washington School. Ills health and age now
require rest from the labours and acquisitions
| of Office. His resignation Immediately after
| the close o! the present term Of tbs Court of
Common Pleas, has been determined on for
two years past. An Impotence however, at
the lingering delay of this event, discovered
itself the last year, and attempts were
made through the forms of Caucus Commit
tee, to offer advice az to its early expediency.
| The Sheriff gave the Committee such assuran-
ccs of his determination, in reply to their ap-
| plication, as induced them most graciousy to
recommend 4 suspension of executive opera
lions. Experience is the bSst Of all instruc-
tors. The measures resorted to il. the reign
| VI 0eiI Jmehi'iCt IL were 80 pregnant Win lne
! seeds Of party mortality, it would be worse
than folly to repeat them.
| On the question, who is to be the successor
of Mr.. Ward? no anxiety seems to prevail
excepting among the numerous candidates for
the Office. 1t is hoped he will be gentleman
in hisInanners, responsible in point of proper
I ty, intelligent, faithful in the performance oil
duty, and of strict integrity. 1t mist be q
pleasing reflection to all and honourable to the
present Incumbent, that the duties of the Of.
flee have been performed 10 universal satis(ac.
ton. No monies lawfully committed to
| Sheriff Ward, Oh their destination TO the State
and county Treasures, have been for a mo-
ulent withheld by him. No creditor has been
delayed from receiving money collected for
him, by his misapplicaton of it, or his negli-
gence. 1t is confidently asserted, that not a
cent has lost its way to its rightful owner, by
his default. 1t is believed also, that in the
execution Of the harshcr duties of his Office.
no one can charge him with the want of hu-
manity, or being regardless to the feelings. As
well as rights Of the concerned. To carry in
to retirement the consciousness of having thus
performed official duty, is, Of itself rich re-
ward for the tolls and responsibilities Of Office;
and must afford something Of g that peace
which the world can neither give nor take
away" The Public can truly say to MIR.
Ward, "Well done good and faithful servsnt;''
and to his successor, 60 thou and do likewise. -

Extract from the Speech of JOHN HOLMES oil
Maine, in the Senate Of the United States,
on the bill to procure surveys for roads and
canals.
Z" Were those gentlemen here who formed
the Constitution, might with confidence APP
peal 10 them, if it had been believed that it
contained the power claimed by this bill,
whether it could possibly have been adopted
f'o, sir, the truth is, this doctrine carries us
much farther than we ever went before and
one class of politicians, Imean the federaists,
have right to hold their heads high. When
one nation CT people conquer another, and
settle down in their counry,it not unfrequently
happens, that the conquerors adopt the laws,
manners, customs and creed OF the 'vanquish
ed-especially if the latter have the most in
telligence and civilization. tnstthis was
not the case in the victory of 1900; but il
some way or other so happens, that we have
not only adopted the strongest federal max
inns, but have gone much further. And If we
establish the principle proposed in this bill,
that party may congratulate themselves, that,
though their power has been lost, their prin-
cip!es have, in this instance triumphea."

not idea that it was her lover.
The Austrian toragers had appeared before the
city, and the Dung Count had gone out to repulse
them. Burning to distinguish himself, he advanced
with ardor before his troop, and fell victim to his
unhappy impetuosty. To paint the situation of this
unfortunate lady, at that time, would be to insult the
heart and imagination of every feeling reader. Her
lover is placed upon bed-his mother at his feet,
and his mistress pressing his hand. After some
time, opening his eyes, he cried, go, my Char
lote - He would speak, but his voice filtered,
and he was buried in tears. His accent pierced the
soul Of his mstress-her reason left her-"No," she
cried, "no-I will not survive thee,' and seized his
sword: she was disarmed, the instant that she
would have plunged it into her bosom he beckon-
cd that she should approach him, and when she
came to linn, he locked his around her, and af-
