Fasting AND PRAYER. His Excellency
Levi Lincoln vernon of the State Of Massa-

ing the third day of April next, a day of pub
lie fasting and prayer. His excellcncy's pro-
clamation, designating the day for the hol-
ding of this annual religious festival, IS
brief, eloquent and appropriate, and is worthy
OF imitation. It becomes grateful and pl-
Gus people to assemble on proper occasions,
to offer up their thanksgivings and praises to
the ruler of the Universe. for his manifold
blessings and bount,es.

BASE INGRATITUDE.-The folio owing para
graph, is copied from the Rhode Island Amcri-
can and Providence Gazette, of yesterday.
"The U. S. House of Rep has ordered an
inquiry into the expedlency Of refusing the use
ofthe Hall. for other than Legislative purposes.
When nearly erery m0uatebank that uisifs
Washington, is suffered to deliver lectures or
spout poetry in the Hall. it seems becoming
the dignity Of the nation that some measure of
this kind should be adopted, for their sxclu-
sion"
The " mountebank" alluded to, as having
visited Washington, to "spout poetry" is the
the American and Gazette, "Pckle Emmons,''
moro familiarly known by the title of " Orator
Emmons." Pickle, was here last July, and at
tempted to "spout poetry" at our Theatre
We were not particularly delighted with the
idea of having the whole public insulted by a
Boston mountebank and ideot, and consequent
ly, published an article which tended to
Pickles expulsion from the Theatre. The next
day, he called upon US, and being rather inso-
lent, wo informed him that if he was not civil
we would throw him out Of the window. With
doleiul countenance, and a wet eye, he re-
paired to the Office Of his particular friend,
and made his complaint. The result was, we
were prosecuted, at the instance of Pickles
particular friend, and fined three dollars
Pickle and hfs particular friend, then fondly
e"Sraced % other. and With linked arms,
went their wy rejoicing; and it was said at
the time, that the brace Of friends. and orators
were about to commence pilgrimage for the
purpose of giving exhibitions.
But some how or other, the reputed con-
tract was not fulfilled, and since Pickle has ar
rived at Washington, and has obtained permis-
sion to rece in Congress Hall, his particular
friend, is indignant that he should pocset the
cash and now dcnounces him as Iii ounte bank, ,
and spouter of poetry. How ungra,ofu!

P.rtucket and Seekonk. The vote taken
some days since, in the Legislature of Massa-
ohusetts, to post pone the consideration Of the
bill to divide the town of Seekonk, was recon-
sidered and passed to be engrossed, by an
overwhelming majority, OF Tuesday last.
The separation was advocated by Messrs.
Beal, Washburn and others, and opposed by
Mr.. Hathaway of Troy, who though but young
in his legislative career, has succeeded in I'M
mor.atizrrg himself, cad has ogluied the nick
name Of the " Young Trojan" During the
debate on tie administration Resolu' ons, this
gentleman made speech o! singular dcscrp-
tion, composed of odd conce,s, words and
vinegar, and as our friend Nat. Greene, of the
Boston Statesman, pulled him to the skies, he
has been emboldcned to make another frothy
essay, in relation to the separation Of the town
&C Seekork. This precious production, par
takes Of all the wild extravaganza, ridiculous
absurdity, and absolute nonsense, which is so
often emitted by those geniuses, who possess
more assurance than talents, and who only
spout in our legislative Halls, TO render them
selves ridiculous, and TO call forth the derision
Of the world.

have another:
Since he has been with US, he las awaken

following strains.

use of paper, of a quality which did not suit us,
and which has called forth almost innumera-

been as deeply mortified by this circumst nee,
as our subscribers have been displeased. and
to remedy the evil, we have recently made a
contract for supply Of paper Of a superior
quality, which VIC shall begin to use tho next
week.
