The New Castle county Squad of Lawyers and
Editors who lately went to Sussex to e,aHghten the
people of that county, excuse themselves on the
ground Of being favorable to missions to Heath9ish
parts.
The Reverend Samuel Harker, by permission Of
the specialized Attorney, held forth at George
Town, Tuesday last, and converted, on the spot,
a Jac6s21msinner from the error of his ways. How

The following appears to be some minutes of part
of his speech, intended to be delivered at George
Town.

Heathen,) the zeal of new converts is proverbial.

Bile self; nor to brother Jimmey, who now, for the
first time, has visited this benighted land; nor to
the taciturn and modest Jack, who has been so long
seeking his way to Washington through your inter-
minable and impossible pines and swamps nor to
brother George, whose sentiments relative to Gene
raj Jackson are unfortunately found at length in the
American Waterman, as mine are in the Delaware
Gazette nor to my noW kind brother Spectacles,
who has, for present good," forgiven me for hay

he stop my wages, or some other make higher bid.

old friend Crawford has a touch of it, and John
Marshall, too, is on his last legs Time would fail
me, to attempt to enumerate the cases of dis
tinguished individuals.
Yea, brethren it is making shocking havoc in our
owns. Cincinnati, the stronghold of Jacksonsm in
the West, is taken. The enemy there waIketn

from town to town, and from village to village from
