sented itself from the window Of my oratory was

of gratitude and praise. 1t was an extensive view,
beautifully varied with woodland scenery anu slo

animals grazing on their surface, or refreshing
themselves BY morning draught from beautiful

Real Friends. When Socrates was building a
house at Athens, being asked by one who observed.
the smallness Of the design, why man so eminent
should not have an abode more suitable to his dig
nifty ; He replied, that he should think himself
sufficiently accommodated if he could see that
narrow habitaton filled with real friends. Such
was the opinion Of this great master Of human ma
ture, concerning the unfrequency of such an union
Of minds as might deserve the name of friendship.
that among the multitude whom vanit, or curiosi-
ty, civility or veneratlon, crowded about him, he
did not expect that very spacious apartments
would be necessary to Contain all who should re-
gard him with sincere kindness, or adhere to him
with fidelity.

CoMMoDoRE PoRTER.-A letter from This Off
Ger, of an extraordinary character, addressed to Mr.
M. NJ. NOAH, Editor Of the New York Enqairer
has recentv been published, and as its contents re
somewhat singular, and come before the pubic
with an i'll grace at this moment, it is nothing more
than proper that we should bestow upon it a little
notice.
We had hoped that Commodore Porter, reno.
vei as he Is from the service of the United States
and voluntarily engaged in the employment of
another nation, woul1 content himsef with &C. min
CLING in the concerns Of that nation whose feelings
aud whose interests he has adopted But 1t appears
from the whole Of the man. that he is incli.
ned to take the control Of our political relations and
is about to set himself up the Arbitrator of North
American affairs. The most that we can make of
him, is that he is very silly man, who has been
spoiled by the idylatry Of the American people, who
have set too great value upon his services, and
too highly appreciated his heroism in a single com.
bat. For the credit the Commodore, and of hi,
friends, we hope he will not, whilst in the Mexican
service, attempt to ntermeddle in our political re-
lations. He has abjured his native country. and
espoused the interests of a distinct people-and we
hope he will content himself with lischargins the
duties OF his new vocation. HIS letter is not worth
publishing, and ITS contents are too silly TO reoure
anmadversion.

CAPTAIN CREIGHToN.-We have received from
friend OF Capt. John Orde Creighton, a commuui.
cation relative to the dinner given to that office in
which the writer charges us with being Influenced
by improper motives, In what we published in pre-.
vious numbers, relative to that subject and defends
his friend in an able and interesting manner. The
communication would have been published in this
paper had it been received in due time; but, as
we are circumsanced, it must bo laid over for one
week. As we are always ready TO hear 9th sides,
we shall with pleasure publish the communication

ANONYMOUS LkTTERs-A patron Of ours, who
has been, as he says, frequently annoyed with anon
ymous letters has requested US to say, that he who
has any particular ill will against neghbor, and
attempts to revenge himself by writing anonymous
letters" is wretch, whom twere base flatterv 10

writers dr. gged from their lurking places, and held
up to public execratiou. The miserable being who
resorts to this Piul method to revenge himself for
real or supposed injuries, unworthy of the notice
Of an honorable mind. Individuals in the habit of
such practices, should know, that in carrying it on
they perpetrate crime, which is within the cogni-
zance of the common and statute law of the Slate.
and that punishment will sooner or later Overtake
them.

FOREIGN MIsstoNs.-The Reverend gentleman
who has been pleased to appear as our antagonist,
whilst canvassing the subject of foreign MISSIONS is
respectfully informed that his third essay has been
received, and will be published In our next num-
Der. We congratulate the gentleman that he has
somewhat approached the subject matter in dis
pute, and inform him that we are always at his SER
vice. 1t does appear to us, however, that he has
not succeeded in establishing his intended positions,
and until he does so, we shall take the liberty to
complain. We do not mean to offer him any disre.
spect when we say, that in our opinion, he has
done nothing to convince the public, that foreign
missions have been productive Of any good, or that
he has taken position that is tenable. His future
essays may, however, prove all that he wishes to
prove, and until he produces them, we will not at.
tempt to forestall public opinion.

commanding officer Of the Dolphin is implicated,
but aH The inf rmation we have been able 10 OBJ
tain, (and we believe none else has been received
here) is from letter from the American CONNER
cal Agent at the Sandwich Islands, in which he
speaks in high terms of the conduct of Lieut.. Per-
cval while there and says that his visit has been
Of essential service to the comm ercal interests OF
the country in that quarter"
As it is most likely that Lieut.. PERcIvAL will
reach this country in few weeks, it is nothing
more than proper that public opinion should be sus-
pended on the subject, until formal investigation
has been made OF his conduct, which will take
place Immediately after his arrival, and until then
the public should not listen to the letters Of Mrs.
BRIGHAM, or any Of her associates and abettors.
Should the charges which the Sandwich Island
Missionaries have preferred against Lieut.. PERcI-
VAL, prove false-and we doubt not they Wilt

we distinctly recognized the senior Editor OF the
Patriot, holding in each hand bowl of hot coffee,
who, when he discovered US, exclaimed, IN his ape
cuiiariy elas,,cal and technical language" by -
all fire locks how come ye here
"Avaunt and quit my sight let the earth hide thee
Thy bones are marrowess, thy blood is cold;
Thou hast speculation IN those eyes

spectres, or ghosts, and though we admitted our
- blood was cold" denied most earnestly that our
" bones were marrowless," or that there was not
some speculation" in our /" eyes," and in the lam
guase Of friendship declared, that we were none
pther than his old and particular friends Of the
Cadet. Thrice he shook us cordially by the hand,
and-informing US, confdentially, that between
himself ourselves. and the post, il necessary for
him to be every moment at his Office, and that his
only object in visiting Spragueville was to express
his views at large on the subjects OF Domestic In
dustry and Internal InprovemeLts-ha.tily left US,
and proceeded towards his " home--sweet home"
Night was now fast approaching, and having Sc
cured the benefits of the cheerful ire.side Of our
h.st. sailed forth in pursuit of adven.
lures, and thus resumed our travels toward. the
Kingdom of Monkeytown.
Nothing Of particular moment occurred, till we
reached our place of destination, worthy Of record.

that at the expiration of our journey, we should a,
east find place of repose, unannoyed by the dis
courteous obtrusions Of Strangers the unnecessa
ry interference Of friends. and that we might there
be enabled to sit down and write faithful delinea
tion Of our adventures. But this world is full Of
iisappointmens--we live to be disappointe ted-how
uncert ain and unstable are the calculations of man!
We had scarcely entered the inn. that was to afford
as nights accommodation, when a gentleman.
whose hack was turned towards US, holding in each
hand bowl of hot coffee, accosed us, and in his Pc
culiariy classical and technical language, demand
ed, "By - all freock. how came you here ~
We looked at him for moment--we minutely
scanned his person-and 10! it was him, the senior
-ditor of the Patriot,-and though we would not
nave been irreverent for worlds, could not help

ACTIVE BENEVOLENCE.

The citizens of Providence. Rhode Island,
says the New-York Christian Advocate,
sent an agent to this city, last week. who
purchased a quantity os DR.. Chambers
medicine, for the use of such unfortunate
victims of intemperance as are unable to
procure it themselves. The agent related
to us several affecting instances of its res
toratlve powers. A man who had long beeu
confirmed drunkard, by using the med-
cine four days, was thoroughly reclaimed,
and is now perfectly temperate. and very
Industrious and respectable. Another. an
ingenious mechanic. who. in consequence OF
his incorporate habits, had forfeited the
confidence OF the public, has t;een restored
to his family and to society, and is now
proitaby employed, with several men nn-
der his direction. Many other instances the
agent mentioned ofts salutary effects, The
citizens of Providence have set an example
which is worthy of universal imitation
And it gives us pleasure to state, that the
Captain of tine steamboat Washington Of
fered free passage to their agent, as soon
as he understood the benevolent object oi
