THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.

SIR have perused the opinion which you

state of New York for the next Presidency, and
am inclined to agree with you in great mea.

of Mr.. Crawford. considered him the repub.
ican candidate. At present have been call
ed upon to support General Jackson, but can
see no reason for obeying such call. Without
inquiring into the civil incapacity which has
been ascribed to general Jackson by those very
men who are now his greatest eulogists, can.
not think that republicans will be found to sup.
port the man who is considered the exclusive
candidate of the Clintonian party in this state.
For many years Mr.. Clinton has opposed the
republican party of this state, and will not be-
lieve that they will ever silently submit to give
their support to ticket which reads "Messrs.
Clinton and Jackson" for if such a ticket be
elected, you may rest assured that MIR. Clinton
is the real president. 1t cannot be denied that
General Jackson has been successful military
commander, and the people will no doubt award
him his degree of praise for the service he has
done his country But when his name is used
merely to subserve the purposes Of intriguing
men, the people will be cautious how they give
him their votes. General Jackson has been
seized upon by few broken down politicians
and they mean to ride into power under the
cover of his name.
1t is but few months since the republicans
of this state gave ninety five thousand r0tss a.
gainsi Mr., Clinton, for the Office of governor
an they tack about in SO short time and vote
for Messrs De Witt Clinton and Andrew Jack
son for the highest Offices in the gift of the peo

bers of the party in this state. Messrs. Gin.

UNION CANAL.

From the Harrisburg IatetEgeneer, June 10.
We have been shewn a letter, received bya
gentleman Of this town, from John M'Cammon,
Esq. postmaster, at Middletown, communicat.
ing the cheering intelligence that the "Alpha
Of Tulpehocken," M'Cauley, master, arrived at
the termination Of the Union Canal, at the juno
ton Of the Susquehanna and Swatara rivers, on
Friday last, from Wommelsdorff, Berks county
The Alpha was then laden with twenty FIVE tons
OF stone coal, and departed same day for the
point on the canal where the works are erected
for supplying the summit level with water, rails
ed from the Swatara by means of water wheel
and steam engine. The letter states the Alpha
to be very fine strong boat, and drawn, with
her lading oftwenty five tons, with comparative
ease by one horse Thus has this great work
been brought to successful close and the ma.
vigatioa between the SusquehanDa and Schdyl.
Kill rivers rendered nearly perfect.

PURITANICAL ZEAL. 1t is known, that
there was one of the statutes, in our an
cestor's code, which imposed penalty for
the wearing of long hair. Attic time En-
dicott was the magistrate of'this town, he
caused the following order TO be passed:
John Gatshell is fyened ten shillings
for building upon the towns ground with
out leave, and in case he shall cult of his
loung hair of his head in the sevill frame
lcivii form IN the meane time shall have
abated five shillings his fen to be paid in
TO the Iowne meeting within two months
from this time,. and have leave to go in his
building in the meantime"
Pqrchas says of long hair, that
IL Is an ornament to the female sex,
token OF subsection, an ensign of modesty /;
put modesty grows short in men, as their
nair grows long, and a neat perfumed,
irlzled, pouldered bush hangs but as a to-
Ken. Tanl non UendabiieS, of much wine,
llttie wit, OF men weary of manhood, of CT
Viilty, OF christianity, which would fame
turn las the least doe imitate) American
saVagee, infidels, barbarians, or women at
the least and best"
Pryme, who wrote in 1852, considers
men, who nourish their hair like women, as
an attenuation to the Lord, and says
NO wonder, that the wearing of long
mare should make men abominable unto
God himself, since it was an abomination
even among heather men. Witness the
examples Of Heliogabulus, Sardanapalus,
ENero, Sporus, Caius, Caligula and others"
lie refers to the opinions of the fathers,
and the DEGREES Of the old councils, to
prove that
Long hair and love locks are bushes Of
vanity whereby the Devil leads and holds
men captive. "-iSalen Observer
SINGULAR FANATIcIsM. DR.. Hender-
son, IN his interesting journal of tour in
Russia, says, he visited one family of dis
senters, who carried their superstition SO
far, that the mistress of the house refused
to set at table with him, because one OF
MS companions had metal buttons ON his
travelling coat, and another had a tobacco
pipe IN his hand. Their aversion to snuff
was SO great that, if box happens to Law
on the table, the part on which it has beer
lad must be planed out, before the table
viii be used again.-I5id.
A CURIoUs RECORD. In 1856 there
was County Convention at Leicester. il
worcester County. At the choice of ;
delegate to this Convention from Northbo
rough, the town instructed their Represen
tatlve to use his influence in remonstratinc
to the General Court
THAT the whole order of LAWYERS h

only of his strong expressions are remem-
