REPORT

The third anniversary meeting Of the Sunday
school Union Of Alexandra was held at the
Baptist Meeting House on MONDAY evening, A
pril is.
The meeting was opened by hymn from the
President, and prayer by the Rev. MIR. Wal
ton.
The Report of the Board Of Managers was
then read.
The Managers o! the Sunday School Union
Of Alexandria present their third annual report
with feelings Of gratitude TO God that he sim
allows them TO do some good to the kingdom oil
the Redeemer in the world. Your Managers
do not expect to decorate their report with the
charm Of novelty, or to surprise their. cons,itu-
ents with splendid achievements. The nature,
design and utility Of Sunday Schools, are so
well and generally understood, that they can de-
velope nothing new on these points, and our
operations are too limited 10 dazzle you with
vast accomplishments; but We joice that your
Board has been permitted 10 continue its noise
less track through another year, and continues
to exert an increasing and successful influence
over the morals, the manners, and The hearts Of
your benehciaries.
Your Board have witnessed, with great salts
faction, with what persevering zeal the teachers
in our several schools have pursued the work OF
the Lord. Indeed we were never so we'll in
formed respecting this matter, as at this time.
Al the first meeting of the present Board reso'
luton was submitted, and hnally adopted, that
q standing committee Of one from each school
be appointed to visit the schools quarterly
From the report Of this committee, our more
correct and cheering knowledge upon this sub
iect has been obtained. They reported ",hat
they had attended to their duty, that they have
been eheerfslly received by the several schools,
and tina, they were much grati6ed in their visits
in observing the aourishing condition OF the
schools" During The last winter the Rev. Mr..
Nlalcom, rhe intelligent, pioas and indefa,iga-
bic agent Of the A. S S. Union, favored us with
q visit; and to his preaching, e1horsa,ions and
counsels, perhaps, more than to any other
cause, ar. we indebted for many valuable i'm
proyements in sur schools

From the National Journal.

In the preamble TO certain resolutions adopt
ed at recent meeting in Fauquier County,
Virginia, it is stated, "that, in the election Of
the present Chief Magistrate Of the United
States, the known wishes of the people were
disregarded," SC. The same sentiment is uni
formly inculcated in the preambles and Iesolu-
tons Of the various opposition meetings in that
State. 1t is the language Of the leaders Of the
opposition. 1t is the language Of the Richmond
Enquirer Now, we would put it to the origi-
majors and movers in these opposition meet
ngs, and emphalically would we ask Of the
Richmond Enquirer, whether, in caseM Craw.
ford, who was supported 10 the last by the vote
of that State, and the voice Of that Journal, had
been elected, "the known wishes Of the people"
would not have been in much greater degree
disregarded? Mr.. Crawford stood the lowest in
the votes Of the electoral college, yet Mr. Richie
and the State of Virginia struggled, with great
industry and fidelity, to secure his election a.
gainst "the known wishes of the people" We
would inquire whether this very effort 10 e.
lect Mr.. Crawford, under these circumstan
ces, was not an admission that, the people hav-
ing failed to give that constitutional ex preston
OF their preference which is necessary to elect
Chief Magistrate, the House Of Representa-
tives was left, untrammelled in their discretion,
10 choose the President out Of the three candi-
dates submitted 10 them! If they were bound
to select him who had plurality Of votes only,
why was it made necessary by the constitution
to subject the election in such case 20 the for
mality of going through the House? A plurali-
~ only having shown preference for General
Jackson, it amounted to constitutional rejection
of him by the people; yet he is now TO be brought
forward and forced upon the people after this
explicit rejection Of his claims. We shall be
glad if some Of the opposition editors will
show US the consistency and the reasonabeness
of this course.
A letter writer in the opposition paper Of
this city, speaking of the defea, of Mr.. Powell
at the late election in Shenandoah, says" We
haze beaten him." The expression, in this in.
stance, is to be taken in its literal meaning
According to the most authentic accounts, III.
scenes Of actual violence on that occasion were
such as rather to remind US ofthe outraees which
mark The exercise of the elective franchise in
countries Where the people have no other priv.
lege offreemen left them, and where they have
never been practically initiated in the science

THE JACKSON MEETING.


The efforts to &c, up legislative nomination
OF General Jackson by Resolution OF the Cen
eial Assembly pledging the undivided vote
of Pennsylvania TO him at the next election Tor
President, having wholly failed and been COM
mitted never to be again reported it was, after
many private and select consultations. resolved
that caucus Of Jackson men should be held to
call convention to nominate candidate Tor
the Presidency and frame an Electoral Ticket.
This Caucus has been held and the represen-
tations as to the number of members who at
tended il, have been so entirely at variance,
and the prevailing opinion is, that it was
so thinly attended, that it has done moth
ing 10 support the sinking cause of Gene
raj Jackson in Pennsylvania. Infinite pains
are therefore taking to induce an opinion that
the Caucus was much more numerously attend
ed than in truth it was. The following letter
was published in the Jackson Palladium OF yes
terday, and as VIC have right to presume II is
the best case which can be made out on that
side we give it at length and without any omis-
sion, so that the whole force OF the Jackson
case may be before our readers, with our re-
marks"
Copy of letter from gentleman in Harrisburg to the
Editor, dated Harrisburg, april 18th
sit is suspected here that James Petriken,
Of Centre, acted as reporter to John Binns.-
This member intruded himself into the meeting
Of Jackson democrats, and as they did not wish
to do any thing in privacy, he was permitted to
remain. At the second meeting ne did not
make his appearance. When he asserted that
there were but thirty-Gve members present, DR..
Burden requested him in the presence OF
number Of members to get up protest against
the meeting, and ascertain how many democra-
tic members we're opposed to Jackson: 1t is
not necessary to take any trouble to rebut any

CANl'HARIDEs.

The Cantharees Spanish flies used for
blisters) are very abundant in Sicily, and
that country furnishes great part of Eu-
rope. The Sicilians believe that they come
from Asia or Egypt, for they arrive regu-
larly every year in swarms, in the last days
of May and the first of June. The peasants
know by the odour which they shed, that
they are not far off, and after they have seen
them alight upon an olive tree, (this kind Of
tree particularly attracts them) they come
early in the morning and spread great
sheet under the tree; the tree is shaken and
all the flies fall upon the sheet They are
then put into earthen vessels and killed by
sprinkling them with vinegar from time te
time. They are afterwards dried, and
packed in tight boxes or casks.

prostrates himself, and touches the ground
with his head in alteration OF lien, the God

voice prayer prcparedby the court of GER

of the Great Being on his labor, and on that

and opens several burrows in the direction of
north and south; then gives the plough into
