| am inclined to think that the interest and
advantage, which public worship derives from
music, is not in general sufficiently appreciat-
ed. am not one of those who believe that
the worship of God consists solely and exclu-
svely in reading passages from his revelation,
and pronouncing long, learned and profound
commentaries upon a single text. This is
not said in depreciation of the value of moral
instruction from the pulpit. Its influence up
on the community is highly beneficial, and
powerfully felt throughout all the departments
of Society. But moral instruction, however
important in upholding civil institutions, and
however worthy of regard in that point of
view, appears to me to be a subordinate part
of worship. Worship is homage paid to SUI
preme Being, to whom we feel that it belongs,
and consists rather in feeling and sentiment,
than in external forms. Instruction is for the
benefit of those who receive it, and its ulti-
mate object is their welfare. The former is
addressed to the Creator, the latter to the
creature,

Mr.. EDITOR,


We expect to see in the papers of this town,
the present week, splendid account of a
meeting Of large number of respectable citi-
Gems from aHparts of this great county, assem-
bled at the Court House, on the evening Of
the 9th inst. to agree upon list of cand-
dates for the Senate of this Commonwealth,
who will unite all parties and all interests and
all families-that the proceedings will be de-
tailed at foil length, by the Chairman and Sc
cretary, and accompanied with such remarks,
as the different editors may think proper to
make upon them. As the Chairman and Sec
rotary will not be authorised, nor probably in
clined, to publish any thing but the record of
their proceedings, without regard to incidents,
the electors, who are called upon to vote for
this new list, may be edited and instructed
by having more minute account of the pro-
ceedngs, from faithful reporters, who attend
ed the meeting out Of curiosity, and who

were not so far prejudiced, for or against, the
meeting as to be suspected of reporting UNI
truly.
The meeting was notified for O'clock, at
which time, two or three, who were instru-
mental in calling it, appeared-bt'ween that
time and o'clock few others came in, most
ly boys, but some men, who were curious to
witness the transactions.
At this time the meeting was called to o.
der, and the nomination of Chairman called
for-several were nominated how many our
reporters do not exactly agree, but the aver
age Of their account is about half dozen
some made one excuse, and some another
one, :. that he had an impeachment in his
Speech" and that he could not pronounce
the word anaalgamqtion, word which he sup
posed the Chairman would frequently have
occasion TO use. At length, one was nom
mated who consented to sat in the chair
Who all these worthy and honorable gentle
men were none Of our reporters knew. Sec
rotary was then chosen.
The meeting being thus organized, and, as
was thought, too large and unwieldy to delib-
| crate on a nomination, nominating commit
tee was called for and voted. Nine were cho-
sen, but on being called by the chairman,

responsibility, no doubt, retired to one of the

suppose) deliberation, they reported list of
five lawyers. This little COMPOUNDED and
surprised of the spectators, who had
been called on during the week to pay larger
fees than they had expected, but such had
probably been the Instructions from the mo-
vers of this farce, and, of course, it was done.
motion was then made to accept this report,
and put by the chairman-one hand only was
raised in favor of it, aud none against tit
was therefore declared, (and probably so re-
corded) to be unanimous vote.
motion was at last made and voted, that
the proceedings should be signed by the Chair
man and Secretary, and published in all the
papers in town, with such remarks as the diff
ferent editors might think proper to make upon
them. Now Mr.. Editor, as you are called up
on to make some remarks, and as have, no
doubt, given you a true history, presume you
will make such remarks, and such only, on
the subject, as shall be consistent with the
history as we'll as with the record Of these pro-,
ceedings.

THE AMALGAMATION OF PARTIE

THE AMALGAMATlON OF PARTIES.
An attempt to bring about premature ex-
tinc,on of the dying embcrs ofparty spirit was
formally made at the late term Of the Com
mon Pleas Court, which resulted, as might
have been expected, in an entire union and
harmony Of diSapprobatiOn and, what is more
to be deplorcd, has furnished new fuel to the
sparks which, undisturbed, would insensibly
have gone out. Instead of an union III favor
Of the best men without party considerations,
it has esitamized ard arraved former factions,
with reciprocal pledge ofan united vote for
the champions of each, should they be put in
nnmination. Who can peruse the list of can
didates for the Senate from this county, pro-
posed by the contention Of pGrties> aud believe
that talents, and political qualifications and
integrity have aot been surrendered to party
zeal and reward? To legalze parties with
formal established rights is to perpetuate
them, as the most certain means of promotion
will be to keep both alive; and TO support
one or the other as interest shall dictate. 1t
is most fortunate for the extinction of party
spirit this compact for its destruction is not
binding, except to the few who made it.,
The people generally are tactly yielding to
liberal and patriotic views. The discordant
elements if not agitated, i'll due time will set
tie in neutralized harmony.
The only effectual method TO accomplish
the desired object of analgamating parties, is
simple one. Let every elector abstract and
confne his views to the single interest of the
Commonwealth. Let the aggregate of the
qualifications of the candidates for office con-
duce to this result. Let him, without concert
or compromise, form his own list; and he
will have the satisfaction of seeing those pro-
NOTED, who will ahjurc the spirit which all
profess to wish extinct. AN ELECTOR.

In the discordance of opinion manifested,
with respect to the Senatorial nominations, we
have considered it our duty to lay before the
public the communications we have received
on either side, although, by SO doing, we
would not be understood as entering into the
views, or participating il the feelings. which
any of them have developed. There are, in
deed, in some of them, passages which We
should wish omitted, as tending 10 excite
greater asperity of feeling than is necessary,
where there is no question OF principle at issue.
All appear agreed in the propriety of making
selection from both the old political parties,
and the only subject in controversy is the pre-
ference which is given t? particular individu-
ais. Under such circumstances, although we
have IN opinion of our own, which will be in
dependently exercised al the proper time and
place, yet we have not felt it our duty to urge
that opinion on others, as the individuals in
nomination are generally we'll known to the
public, who have the same opportunities
which we have to judge of their respective
merits, and by their merits they ought alone
TO be judged.
