ing when your attention will be directed to the
duty of electing person to fill the office OF sher
riff of this county, beg leave to Otter myself
to your consideration as a candidate. Il IS

with the suifiages Of a respectable portion OF my
for whose supper now return
my grateful acknowledgements. On the present
occasion, | shall not entertain yoh with profes
sions which are rarely the test OF merit or the

with assuring you of my cheerful submission to
any mode of nomination that may be adopted al

to give my utmost support to the
candidate who may be selected under the ammo

sense for his guides, will examine freely the|
opinions and practices of the religious profess
sors of the present day. Bound to no sect, as|
q sect, nor to any creed, or set of opinions, be-
cause supported By great nanaes, he will REDUCED
to practice the excellent advice of the apostle,
" Prove all things; hold tast that ,ohich is good."|
With the Bible in his hand, the Berean will
contend for what he believes to tye that faith
/" once delivered to the SAINTS faith both
simple and Practical, anu ~iciiii the compass
of the humblest perceptions. Controversy, in
the commonly accepted sense, and opinions
having no bearing ON practice, he will freely
abandon to polemioal zcnlots.
The Berean will judge no man; he will con.
denim no man, unless already condemned by
his ACTIONS. 1t is here that the empire of gen
uine nEREsy is seated. Actions therefore he
will closely try-to actions he will closely press
the infallible RULE "BH THEIR PnUITs YE SHALL
KNOW THEM"

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
INTERESTING.

BY private letters received few days since
from Italy, we are favored with the following
interesting PARTICULARS
Many salutary reforms have lately taken
place, in the civil regulations of the ecclesias
teal domnons; the abuses of the prisons have
been much retrenehed. and the administration
ofjustice placed upon more liberal and regr
lar footing. The reformation of the prisons.
e@'wu into system of tyranny and oppression,
as they mostly deserved, have met with the Sc.
rious consideration OF his Holiness Hundreds
of miserable victims who before possessed no
other mode of redress, but the intercession o.
private individuals, and who langulshed in con.
finement without possibility OF having their
offences investigated and decided upon, (many
eation of the writer of these letters,) have now
their regular and constitutional remedies. Leo
18th. though weak and iniirm in body, is repre-
sented as possessing a vigorous and enerl etc
mind. He has formed cabinet council of Sc
ven Cardinals-ee,renched the expenditure of
the government-lessened the weight of the
taxes-snd diminished the standing military
force of his deminnons. He has dismissed, in
great measure, the noble guards, who were
constantly in the habit of attending preceding
ponths, and i, is supposed in short time they
will be entirely banished from Court. These
changes are happy p.ognosics of the en-
Igbtened spiri, of improvement which seems
pervading every portion Of Europe. And we
trust few years will entirely convince the sove-
reisns of that fine quarter of the globe, that
the affections of the people are the snrest pill
lars of their power and authority, and that their
oyergrown systems of monarchy and oppression
at the same time that they are not calculated TO
render their thrones more stable and per-
manent paralyzes the exertions OF their people,
and waste the sources Of their nourishme mt
and strength.
