The REVEREND JoHN THORNTON KIRK
LAND, President Of Harvard College, Cam
bridge, Massachusetts, has resigned his office
and Withdrawn from The institution. We are
unaccquained with all the causes which indu-
ccd the Reverend gentleman to this course,
but we understand, that his seat has for
a long time been rendered unpleasant, by
dssenions which have disturbed the College.
The Boston papers Of the week, publish a
letter addressed to him by Il committee from
the senior class, which makes strong illusions.
some Of which cannot be misunderstood. We
copy from the letter the following paragraph,
which Of itself speaks a volume of complaint:
"We should have been happy, had your con
nexion win the University, at least, subsisied
until we had been dismissed from its walls
We had all along hoped. that we should go out
into the world under your auspices, and that
the parchment, which was to entitle us to con
sderation, as having completed our academic
course, might be signed by name so well
known 10 fame and TO the respect of society
But has been ordered otherwise, and we can
only now assure you, sir, that though you have
dent, ;hcre are other tender relations between
you and Us, which will terminate but with life,
and II is our prayer to God, that your years
may be very long protracted amid pleasant re-
collections and troops of friends.
We cannot forbear to say one word with re-
gard to tho untoDard circumstance, in which
you have been placed. 1t has been usual,
when the activity OF a great or good man has
been I'M ntcrrupted by sickness, to deal generous
~ by his character and claims. 1t has COM
monty been an occasion, 10 call forth whatev-
er IN the human heart is noble and christian |;
TO cheer the sufferer under his affection by an
honest reference TO past services, To treasure
LAID up. But TO seize the opportunity of phys
zeal weakness, to encompass one with perpier-
tiles, and wear him down with petty cainm-
nies; TO choose this time. to sit in judgment
upon inadvsrtent errors or improvident virtues ;
such mdiignity, We are grieped TO say, has
been reserved 20 be exhibited by individuals
mas been reserved to you. May you pass IT
unframed. May your enemies have to cenlend.
no; only with your own signal merit, but also
with the dIsapprobation Of all just men,"
Although we are not advised of the exact
nature Of the difficulties which have existed be-
tween the Reverend President, and the gov
ernme3t Of the college, we are led TO
infer, that theological difficulties and con,ro-
versies, those eternal curses to mans happ-
ness,-have driven President Kirkland from
an institution over which he has presided with
credit and ability. As yet. his Successor
has not been nominated, but whoever NAV
take the chair which he has vacated, will en-
er on the duties of an Office, not altogether
,grceable in themselves, and Of immense re
'ponsibliy. We envy no man the station,
md there are but few who are capable of sus-
alning'it.

THE REVEREND ALDEN BRADFORD, ed
itor OF the Boston Commercial Gazette. has
Withdrawn from the duties whic he assumed
about year and half ago, and has gone in
to the shades Of retirement. His editorial ca
recr, was neither marked by brilancy or dull
ness:-~the most conspicuous feature of it, was
a degree of sycophanoy, which is Incompatible
with tho dignity Of the Press. He is a vener-
able gentleman. a Jacksonian to the core, and
an antiquarian up TO the hub. We wish him
that success and repose, which he may pant
for. long life and a happy one, and most sim
cerely pray, that he may be disappointed in
his political calculations, which were made to
elevate General Jackson to the Presidency
We understand that at the expiration Of his
editorial lfe he made his last will and tesla :
ment, and bequcathed his cooked hat, and his
old rusty sword, to Nathaniel Greene.

CRUELTY TO misunderstanding the
other day. down South Main-s'reet, our atten.
ton was arrested by an assemblage of honest
blacks, who were huma nelly endcavoring to
raise from the earth, PROSTATE horse, who lay
breathing his life out, amid the most excruci-
atIng agoncs.
On enquirng the cause Of the poor animals
illness, we were informed by gentleman
that the expiring beast had fallen a victim TO
his masters cruelty. The day previous, the
unfeelmg wretch had placed load on the ba ck
Of the poor beast, which he was unable to car
ry, when, ncenscd because he could not move
the load, he commenced beating him in the
most shocking manner. All however would
avail nothing when unloading the oa'ri0ee.the
wretch took the horse 10 a stable, and beat
him with a club TIL he could not sand The
next morning, the animal was again harnessed
and put to his task. But all was over, lie
could not work, nor could ha elicit the pity Of
his cruel master. Enra gcd, the owner, now
sezing truck pin, and levelling two or three
blows at the horse, broke his back bone, and
several Of his RIBS, when he embarrassed him
and left him TO de in the street.
There is statute in our code of laws, which
provides punishment! for savages who cruelty
maltreat their cattle, and we cannot but hope,
that in this instance, it will be put in execution.
He not only deserves public punishment, but
he should be placed in a situation, where he
cannot again offend the laws of the land and
where his frightful and barbarous visage, can
never again libel society by the presentation of
his odious features. Such wretch is unworthy
Of liberty, and should not be allowed to run at
large.

The Newport Republican of Thursday, in

ne newport nepuoiican OF lnursuay, IN
speaking Of the .spproa ching election remarks:
"We have received information from source
entitled to tho most implicit confidence, that
a few Of the choice spirits have been in Provi-
dcncs during the early part ofthe present week,
making their arrangements TO print a nen
prox, to he headed the old Republican prox -
which is to contain the names Of Field and
James. who were both left out Of the proxos
agreed on in January last. Thus il will be seen
that there will be thee proxies offered 10 the
freemen. Potter and Brown are in favor Of
the Republican prox, SO called and they are
also in favor Of tho old Republican prox, that
is. the prox as it stood last year, which they
are now about to have struck off in Provi-
dencs."
OF the correctness Of the above, there is no
doubt. The prox spoken Of has been printed
aud sent to the different io,rn,. His print
ed on the same sheet with the Convention
Pror.

PApER.-A friend of ours, few days since,
left on our desk, specimen of wrapping pa.
per, made OF straw, and manufa ctured by Col
Macgaw, at Mcadville, Pennsy syvania. The
specimen before us,is very strong, and strongly
is very smooth and ductc, and appears TO be
admirably calculated for all the purposes for
which it is Intended
Whether the ingenious inventor expects TO
make it answer printing purposes, we are not
yet advised, but should suppose, that the pro-
Jcct would be impractcable. Those who are
fond of witnessing the many improvements that
are made in the science of manufa cturing, can
inspect the paper, by calling at our office.

{, the United States Senate 10 the place TO b.

his election TO that important post Of honor, he

nate, or give our support to a friend Of the
Administration, and a friend to the great
causes Of AoRIcULTURE and MANUrAc-
TUREs.
five give our patronage to the opposition
ticket, and It triunphs, we shall in effect, con-
ccde, that Mr.. rotter controls tho affairs Of
the state, and tameiy submit to be led by the
nose, by shutting politician. who has no
claims to our fricndship-and whose talents
and political virtues, command not our esteem.
The plans of the opposition have been well
formed land already arc their agents active
Iy engaged in ,raversing the state, to mislead
the minds Of the people, by the circulation Of
an inllnmmatory pamphlet, calculated to en-
rage the prcjudicss existing between town and
country between tho merchant ald the far
mer, and tho old and nearly obsolete political
parties.
These pandars Of a faction, charged to the
brim with gangrenous vxulence. station them
selves in the high ways and bye ways 10 do
ceivo the people, and to dsorganze the national
administration. But whilst they do this. they
profess TO be friend. Of John Quincy Ad-
ans and his cabinet, whilst at heart they are
detorminably hostile to both, and arc anxious
to PROSTATE both in the dust.
The combat is soon to be settled, and it on
ly remains for the people, for the friends Of Mr..
Adams, TO be firm and DO their duty, and all
will be well, and the watchmen will not have
stood upon the wall in vain. But il they are
careless and indolent-ifthey do not come for
ward in their strength, and give their sufrages
to tho Administration ticket, dofeat must at
tend them, and to their eternal modification
and ceascless chagrin, they will have to con-
fess, that Elisha r. Potter is their MASTER
and in the end, they will behold the man they
abhor, seated in the Senate chamber Of the
United States, for six years, to the unutterabls
disgrace OF Rhode-Island.
