GOVERNOR CLTNToN,s MESSAGE.

We cannot lay before readers the able and
admirable production, which graces the last page of
inns days paper, without earnestly inviting their
attention TO 1t. Ii is truly worthy of its distn-
gulihed author. Its condensation makes up for its
brevity. 1t is remarkable for the elegance of
us composition, as for the philosophy of its views.
II abounds with luminous suggestions.-The only
exception which we might be disposed to make Is
to the passage which recommends the Estate to
declare that the Canal shall be in a nayiaable
state from the first of April to the first of DeceIn-
Der In every year'-the winter and the ice to the
contrary notwithstanding. But we have so great
respect for Mr.. Clinton's sagacity, that we are
almost willing TO Init that we may not under
stand his proposition, the means ny which it is TO
be enforced.
He strikes with bold hand at the abuses which
nave been practised during the pending canvass
Party spirit (says he) ''has entered the recesses
oil retirement, violated the sanctity offeInae charac-
ter nyaded the tranquility OF private life & visited
with severe inilictions the peace of families either
elevation nor humility has been spared; nor the cha
niles oil life. nor distinguished public services nor
the ilresde, the altar have been left free from
ATTACK: but Acentious and destroying spirit has
gone forth, regardless of every thing but the Ora
nhcalion OF malignant feelings and unworthy aspi-
rations. The causes OF this alarming and porteu-
ious eVil must be found in great measure in the
incompetent and injudicious provisions relative TO
Tie ONCE OF Chief Magistrate OF the Union. A
continuance IN Office for but term would di-
mlnish, II not disarm opposition, and divert the in
eumbent from the pursuits of personal ambition TO
the acquisition Of that fame which rests for its sun
port upon the public good. The mode of choice
Is also highly eXceptonabe Instead of an uni
form system, there various rules, some of which
are calculated TO unauimity in the electoral
college, and others TO diminish the Legitimate pow
er u not 10 annihilate the real force OF the states
And there is every facility bring the final deter
n'ination into the House of Representative -an
ample field for the operations of management and
intrigue, and Tor the production Of suspicious and
lmputa'lons, Which, ought never to stain the cha
racter OF our country,"-And the succeeding sem
tence teens with meaning-''Nor are the claims of
the NATIONAL government, in dcrogaiion OF the const-
utonal authorities of the States calculated 10 o,i
ct the agiations OF the times nor to tranquilize the
apprehcnsions of the community But the whole
NeAsage is worthy of attention

FOR THE CADET.

Since the opening OF our Theatre, we have
mad an unusual display Of dramatic talents,
and the stock company, though not decidedly
numerous, is very respectable. For the enact
ment of comedy, the corps is perfectly cupa-
BILE; and with small accession, its members
could sustain the higher walks Of tragedy with
infinite success,
Among tho male portion Of the company;
Mr.. ARCHER stands first; and il may be said
with equal truth and justice, that he is second
to no general actor on the continent in gen.
teol comedy he is far superior to any actor that
has ever visited our Theatre, and in tragedy
he sustains an enviable distinction. He is
chaste, classical and correct in his readings
and action, and we doubt if we shall soon havo

praise to say of him, that he stands among the

He possesses an infinite fuiS of wit and humor

JoHN Mills BRowN, the Comus Of the

the play-going people.
Messrs. CLARKE and Conner are good act
ors; and the Company, as whole, may, with
propriety. be pronounced very respectable.
In the female department, we have Mrs
YOUNG, Miss HAMILTON, and Miss CLARK,
The first Of these ladies was originally great
favorite of the people, and was equally admired
for her talents and beauty. Although, like
Fanny, she
9" Is older than she was once,'
her personal attractions have not dminished
and after an absence Of fifteen years, she has
once more appeared before us, to delight us
with her representatives Of the hcroines of the
drama.
Miss HAMILTON is an actress Of moro than
ordinary merit land is fast gaining in the good
will Of the audience. With US, the writer of
this article, she is a a favoritc, and we know
not Of an actress, who deports herself with
more dignity than she does; combining at the
same time degree Of witchery and archness,
which are not often displayed.
MISS CLARE is a very respectable actress
in her line.

his ungenerous attack on Mr.. PIckerings Ad-

lowing statement:-That the proposition of
DR.. Ely for union of Christians to take into

call, yet have answered his, partially, be.
sides furnishing him with copy of Mr.. Senator
Powell's speech, the arguments of which, and
facts were considered sufficient grounds to re-
fuse an Act of Incorporation to the American
Sunday School Union by the Pennsylvania
Legislature; and has he published h' No he
has not, and yet two days Of publication have
expired, and he evidently does not mean his
readers shall be possessed Of facts respecting
this subject, let his professions be what they
may. A few queries will close my present
communication.
/. If Doctor Ely labors under "mental
alienation" why has he been SO long honored
as the most learned, able and judicious advo.
cate of the Presbyterian Synod of the United
States and why was ho chosen President Of
their General Convention but a few weeks
since!
2. L, not DR.. Ely the Pastor Of the third
Presbyterian Church at Philadelphia, and was
not his famous Fourth Of July Sermon delivered
in the seuenth Presbyterian Church in that
city!
1. Was not that celebration an union cele-
bration Of the several Societies and Churches
of the above named order, (and probably Of
others,) and was not DR.. Ely elected by their
united voice to deliver the Discourse'
4. Did the Doctor publish that Discourse
without request from those who invited him
to deliver it9
8. Have any Of the Presbyicrans or orthodox
Congregationalists in the United States ever
published a syllable upon that subject, from
which it can be inferred that they did not APP |
prove both the plaza and the sentiment thereof |
6. Have not the same sentiments been advo-
Gated in the union religious celebration at Bos-
on, this Year. by Rev. Mr.. Knowles
