Of Those of our friends who are desirous
that their advertisements should have an ex-
tensive circulation, will perceive, that from the
circulation our paper has attained, it affords
valuable vehicle for the attainment Of their
wishes; and their favors are respectfully
solicited.
Lost those who patronizc the paper, because
Of the unusual quantity of reading matter ii
contains, should suppose, that the acquisition
of advertising patronage is calculated to lessen
tho quantity Of our miscellaneous reading, VIC
xssuro them, that such will not be the case, as
We have already made arrangemcnts,to put the
Advertisements, Marine List, and Review oi
tho Market, in q smaller, but new and ele-
giant typo; which arrangement will enable us
to maintain tho miscellaneous and reading de-
partmcnt, to its original extent.

MR.. CLAY.

Some months since, we cotced in tho Gin
cinnati Advertiser, an attack upon Mr.. Clay,
charging him with having, as Administrator
on tho estate Of the late Colonel James Nor
rison. Of kentucky, cmbezzled twenty thousand
dollars, being legacy, given by Colonel Nor
rison, to Transylvania University. The attack
was SO gross, and so evidently malignant, that
even but few Of the Opposition prints would
descend to it's level, by giving circulation to
the poison il contained; and to the credit of
some Of them,be it said, they repellcd it as an
infamous and unmanly falsehood, got up by
villiany, and circulated by mcndaciiy.
At the time Of the first appearance of the
Infamous charge, being somewhat acquainted
with tho facts Of the case, and with the private
History Of Colonel Morrison, wo laid both be-
fore the public; but as they were not SO fell a,

NJ TRANsYLvANIA UNIVERSITY. The
Honorable John Pope, Of kentucky, has re-
ceived, and accepted, an invitation to as
sumo the profcssorshp of Law in Transylvania
University. John is an eminent lawyer, though
bad politician, and if he will but devote him
self to the duties of hisncw Office, the Law de-
partment of the University will flourish But
we apprehcnd he has accepted the invitation,
merely to obtain popularity, and 10 aid him in
accel!erating the views of the opposition, to
which faction he is warmly attached.
We are sorry to learn, that since the re-
tirement Of the late Doctor Holly, the affairs
Of this favored Institution, have got into a Ia
meniablc condition. We hope that under the
auspices Of Doctor Ma-auloy, they will as
sumo different aspect.

II" ASSAULT ON THE STAGE. 1.-The
Christian Waterman and the New York OBJ
server, not long since, commenced simulta-
neousy, an attack upon the Stage, in SERIES
Of essays which were equally obscene and pro-
fame.
Madame Hutin, French lady and dancer
of great celebrity, was the especial object at
whom these essays were directed, and the
writer's of them, seemed to struggle, 10 pros
trato her with the dust, AS specimen of the
whole of those essays, we copy the following,
which was particularly directed to the ladies
of the city of New York:
dropping heads told them, that yours was not
yet that easy modesty which might be thus far
presumed upon without offence; and to recov-
or your compla cency, they added more fig

disgusting sentence, is found in the columns OF
that very delicate and modest paper, the

offend the patrons of that paper, by copying
it into ours. But what would be done with

have the temcrity to publish a sentence go in

appreciation. Charles O'Latimcr, in the full
ness Of his wisdom, and in the iniinitudc Of his

remarks we offered IN our last, in relation TO
the opistle of Henry James FhZ james,
would not have been made, had the female, to
whom We supposed the communication was
directed, been destitute of wealth; and by i'm

1.-THE Norwich CoURIEa.-The editor
Of tho Norwich Courier, has published in his
last paper, poetical eifusion entitled, Com
ing to Jesus and credited it to this p5 per as
original. This is mistake; the poem was Sc
loctcd by us from an English publication, and
as such given TO the public, with the namo OF
its author, Thomas Bowring, attached to it.
We do not wish to have credit for anything
that does not belong to us; we are satisfied
thing from other writer's. The Courier, will do
no more than an act of Justice, by corre citing
the error, into which il was probably inadveI
tently led.

OUR OWN AFFAIRS.

M The present number Of this paper com
-,.s.s IN. first six months Of the second vol
vms of tho Literary Cadet and Rhode Island !
Sfatesssan; and in announcing the fact, 1t ,
bsoomcs US 10 tender TO n liberal public, our
siacers and grateful thanks.
Our rise, and increase Of patronage, is unex-
.mpied in the history Of Rhode Island news
papers; and whilst VIC are gratiiicd to lind that
i've have succeeded in pleasing. It may not be
;mpropcr 10 gay, that no effort on our own
art has been wanting TO merit the patronage
Of the public; nor has any expense or labor
boon spared, to make our paper interesting.
That the public may have authentic infor-
nation, relative to our Establishment, and the
circulaton Of our paper. we now state, that
we circulate larger number Of papers, than
any othsr Establishment in the State, and
moro than fpice Il /. number that IS circulated
by any publication Of the State, printed ON the
same days that ours is. We do not MAKO this
latter remark from a hostility to any pa"
per;-we should be pleased TO see them all
continue to flourish, but in justice to our
selves, wo must state facts as they stand.
We circulate in tho town Of Providence
.lone, upwards Of f,ceire hundred papers
each week, and our country circulation is up
soards Of s,co thousand, making in tho whole,
q circulation Of upwards Of TIIIRTY-TWO
HUNDRED papers weekly. independently OF
our exchange list, which is upwards of one
~ ,bcse in fxya
of tho United States. and number in tho West
India Islands.
At the commencement Of our semi-wcekly
publication, we pledged ourselves to the pub
tic, to afford a correct and full MARINE LIST,
q correct REVIEW OF THE MARKET; to sup
port the present Administration, and to give
the usual intelligence Of the day, and to afford
our patrons as much literary matter, as we did
whilst our paper wore the humber guise of a
weekly publication. We now appeal to the
public, TO say, if wo have not redeemed thai
pledge! Feeling assured, for ourselves, tha
we have, we now renew it, and in continuing
on our journey, hope that wo shall receive
. continuance Of the support Of the public.
Our increase of patronage, for several weeks
past, has averaged fifty names week; an'
confidently calculating that that increase vii
be continued, we think wo may with safety
look forward to no distant day, and expect to
circulate = still larger number than we do al
this moment. Presenting our sincere thanks
to all, and saluing all with our assurances OF
great respect, we leave the subject, and return
to our usual duties.

"The political contest in this state is over;
and has struck dsmay to the heart Of every
Jacksonian. Each party has tried its strength
on the Presidential question throughout the
state, and it stands thus: 80 members of the
legislature, (or assembly, as they call it berc,)

made choice Of the jackson candidates,

the Adams, Stricken and Tyson. Tyson is a

and were obliged TO sopbrate. Tyson's first
ball struck the barrel Of McMahon' 5 pis,oi, and

new smile, or metaphor Uncle Sam ought
also to be reminded of the old saying that n

beyond all this it has a claim to undoubtod orig

les, as prao,iced by III. Manners, figures so

N-"Pnoor."-John II. Eaton, in his pros
ing, and dull mile-and-a -half-long cttcr,undcr-
takes to prove that there was a bargain made
between Mr. Adams, and Mr.. Clay; and in
proof of it cies.an extract of a letter received
by him p" from distinguished member of Con-
gress," in which the writer is made to say the
following:
"The bargain of 1925. between Mcssrs. Ad-
ans and Clay l remember we'll was freely spok-
en- of by many members of Congress, al
though had no personal kno,rledge of any
,phich aDould Warrant the belief that the con-
tract erisied; beside, the high estimation in
which then held Mr.. Clay, forbade my sus-
picions on any accusations not supported by
positive proof; that proof was not afforded me,
and held him gutless."
RrMARKs.--S Such is the proof that Mr.. Ea-
ton adduces: A member Of Congress says that
bargain was freely spoken Of, by many mem-
bers of Congress, but he had no personal
knowledge of the fact, and from his high es,-
nation of Mr.. Clay, he did not believe the re-
putod bargain, and held the Secretary guiltless.
So much for jor Eaon's "proof." Stronger
proof could not be well adduced TO prove Mr..
Clay's innocence. Fio. fe! Major ,:ar'nt you
ashamed to make such a sad blunder! II
wont do Major, it wont do, and the next time
you undertake TO furnish "proof' Of corrup-
ton, don't be caught mapping.

OPPOSITION ARGUMENT.-We understand
(says the Intelligencer) one Of the most cogont
arguments used, in ncighbouring county of
the State of Maryland, against the reelection
Of Mr.. ADAMS, was, that in that event, the
honest laborer Of the soil would have TO pay
ten dollars for ,coOl hat, by reason Of the
terrible Tariff
