*t6New Members.
tNembers of a previous Congress, but not Of the
last.
SlaUe RepreSentation.-The white population of
North Carolina is not great by 100000 as that Of
Massachusetts,, yet that state has many congress-
men as Massachusetts, The number of white inhabi-
ants an South Carolina is not great that of Maine
by 6O,O6O-but s. c. has too representatives in
Congress than Maize. The free population Of Maine
is about 300, OOO and that of Georgia only 1879 0OO
yet Georgia has as many representatives Maine.
Georgia, 8. Carolina, N. Carolina, and Maryland,
with an aggregate Of one million of freemen, send as
many members to Congress one, all the New
England States, with a million and half of inhabi-
tants. If those States send 38, New-Engand ought in

state of things equal? But such the advantages of
slaves the south States And yet slaves do not vote.
white man at the south has representative power
greater by about SO per cent. than freeman at the
north has.-Aner. Patriot.
From the Journal Of Commerce.
am aware, that it is not the design of the Journal
of Commerce to ince its readers to ming in the po
iltlcal conflicts of the day-But, inasmuch many of
its readers are professors of religion as we'll as men
of business, and there is election approaching, it
may be proper for that Gazette to give place
thoughts OF general nature respecting such election.
1t is part of the Christian Religion that its votaries
Should discharge, concientousy, and with diligence
their duties citizens. And when Society is con-
sttuted that the people themselves the efficient
governors of the land, christian men should UNDER
stand that they are, measure, responsible for the
character of the government, and the course it pur
sues. Under such circumstances they can more
indulge in apathy and Indifference in relation to the
pubic interests, without blame, than they could turn
away from the wants. "of their own HOUSEHOLD" But

then it is the duty of every religious man,
who IS an American CITIZEN to act in popular cleo
tons; and SO to act, as he must give account"
This duty involves two things--First that he
lnes with care, what the interests of morality and
lIgon, and the peace and happiness of community
qure at their hands; and secondly that he vote with
out prejudice, and upon principle, according to his
actual convictions. The Christian has, in all things,
a straight and narrow way before him--He dare
not suffer the excitement of the moment the dogmas
of party or the insduous maxms of any men to nfiu
ence him. He is bound also, where the means of in
formation are around him, to act understanding y-to
mediate upon the tendency of measures--and, above
all, spurn the motive of unreasonable hatred or par

description are precisely those whose sufferages

scribe them the ticket they should support atthe pols
although upon that subject my minds definitely made
up But do say that it is their duty to act--and to
act with good conscience, & sense of responsibility.

From the Berkshire american.
On Saturday last an old she bear aud three cubs
were seen, about mile from here, tree, pick
ing chesnuts, by boy who was out on the same err
rand The bears would stand the large branches,
bend in, break the small ones with their paws, and
pick the chesnuts from the burs with their teeth. As
soon as they the boy, Mrs. Brun alighted from
the tree, and took French leave; while the young
Bruins, nothing abashed, continued picking nuts.
The boy having neither arms or ammunition, came
home obtain both, well some assistance Kill
ling the bears. But before his return they had made
their escape-however, the old bear and two of the
cubs were killed on Monday morning. On the same
day another full grown bear was killed, which, with
one that killed Sunday afternoon, far from
hence and the three already mentiOned makes five
on Sunday and Monday.
The bears of Hoosac have become uncommonly
numerous. We have heard Of something, like dog
en- being killed in this neighborhood within month.
Every day or two we have accounts of hears being
seen by some person other; and though we make
spectator, doubtless be conceded that hears,
the old and respectable state of Massachusetts,, hear
away the palm from the bears of this neighborhood,
downright and fearless intercourse with their civ
zed neighbors. And yet. to do them justice, these
bears are civilized and well behaved set of bears
a. we ever met with-exceedingy moderate in their
wishes, asking, generally, for nothing but plenty of
corn, NUS and sweet apples and taking them without
leave rather than trouble the owner, with any kind of
opportunities.
