The title of this paper, has been changed to
that of the "BowER OF TASTE" and will
hereafter be conducted, by Mrs. KATHARINE

the world of letters. We, according to all the
dictates of gallantry, welcome our sister to the

has our best, and most sincere wishes for her
welfare. Her sex, literary standing, and gen.

of'those attacks,f from the ignorant ~illiterate and
immoral, to which. unfortunately we arc too
often, and shockin9ly exposed. We take our
fair friend by the hand, and thus introduce her

says: There can be no doubt that the Hon.

Conventions held in HiHsborough, Cheshire,
and Rockingham, by an almost unanimous
vote. No opposition would have been made
to the present venerable incumbent, had he

A REMARK.-In justice to those gentlemen
who are connected with the Patriot and Jour-
nal, public newspapers of this town, we pause
to remark, that the article copied by us, from
the New-York Enquirer, of the 10th inst. head
ed COOP SOCIETY" and accompanied by re-
marks Of our own, did not refer TO either oil
those papers. II related 10 an infamous libel,
on the late Mr.. GRAHAM, sub-editor of the
Enquirer, and published in one Of the papers

hence, is distinguished by a carved figure of

A DRIvERs' BALL.-A ball is to be
given by the Agents and Drivers of the differ
emf stoges Of this place and Boston, at CLAIMS
Inn, Wrentham, on the 10th instant.
That it will be fully attended, and reflect
much credit upon all concerned in it, we ha, e
not a doubt, and VIC are pleased to see this de-
scription of society, adopting the fashions of
the more polished circles. There was a
time, when stage drivers were sneered at, and
secuted from society, but of late years, their
moral condition has been greatly improved
and those who are attached TO the several lines
Of stages, which run from this town, we know
to be, without an exception, men of moral hab-
its, and perfectly exemplary in their conduct.
Indeed, none others can find any employment,
among our stage proprietors.
Though they oppose each other on the road,
and are determined competitors, it seems, that
on this occasion, they have united in a " Union
Line" heart and hand, and for one night at
least, will not run their opposition teams.

The North American Review and Juvenile.

he publ sied to-day. We obtained a glance ut
heir contents yesterday, but are obliged TO de-
fer particulars to our next.
The oddity Of the annunciation has caused us
to smile, and still there is nothing 80 very
strange in it. The Juvenile Miscellany, is a
very good work of its kind, and entitled to all
the patronage it receives. But then to put il
along side ofthe North American is like compar-
ing a flea bite, to the ponderous grasp, and bite.

FROM ~EURopE-The last New
York Statesman, contains a long letter, writ
ten by Mr.. CARTER, the author of Letters
from Europe" in reply to a critical review
OF that work, contained in the American Quar-
,erly Review, and written and published, by
the Editor Of that work, Mr.. ROBERT WALSH.
Mr.. Carter was certainly provoked to his re-
ply, by the coarse criticisms of the reviewer,
and though the reply is characterized by its
moderation, yet it gives to Mr.. Walsh, to use
a vulgar phrase, a dressing down. which
we fancy he little anticipated.
As to the "Lcttcrs from Europe" they
probably give as interesting and correct a view
of the habits. manners and customs of the in
habitants Of Europe, as has ever been afforded
by any writer and tourist.

realize, in presenting TO the word, evidences
of the industry of our countrywomen, and we
are delighted in presenting to our readers an
account of the ingenuity and industry of Miss
SUSAN [what a bewitching pameJ HUBBARD,
of Windsor, Connecticut, which is copied from
the New-York Statesman:
"We have exhibited at our office to-day.
and will do so again Tomorrow, two beautiful
plaid broadc)oth cloaks, the manufa cture of
Miss Susan ii. Hubbard, Of Windsor, Conn. by
whom the wool from which they were made,
was spun. dyed and wove. She has made
with her own hands, ten like them; one Of
which is worn by General LAFAYETTE, one
by Ex-President MONROE, and the others by
gentlemen of this city and of Boston. The
quality is very fine, and the fabric soft, heavy
and strong. They have been much admired,
and will be none the less so, when the approach
Of cold weather is considered, the hands that
wrought them, and the system of domestic and
household manufactures, Of the excellence of
which they are a beautiful example. Comfort,
gallantry. and patriotism, all unite in their
praise, and will no doubt unite in their DUR
chase.',
SUSAN HUBBARD is just such a girl, or
woman, as any man might be proud Of, if she
were his wife, and we hope and trust, that she
will BIO so fortunate as to secure a good hus-
band, whose industrious habits, may prove

W-IMPRIsoNMENT FOR DEBT.-The fol-
lowing facts, copied from the last number Of
the Manufacturers and Farmers Journal
Will show the utter absurdity and impolicy Of
the continuance of the existence Of that most
odious and offensive remnant Of feudal tyrop-
ny and barbarism, Imprisonment for debt. We
m the facts 10 tie consideration of the
Ministers of State, and to all philanthropists
and lawgivers:
Since the twenty-seventh day Of Nav. 1926
there have been made, at the Jail in this town
ten HUNDRED and Nty-three commitments for
debt. Eight hundred ofthose committed have
taken the poor prisoners oath, and about one
half Of that number have been detained in iair
by the advance Of money. In some instances
the creditors have advanced a years board to
retain in durance vile, their debtor for that
length of time.
During the month Of May, 1927, there were
ftfy-e'ght commitments the aggregate amount
of the debts was three thousand FIVE hundred
dollars. The cost and Incidental expenses on
the executions, amounted to one thousand dol
lars, not including Attorneys charges for term
fees, retainers, &c. &c. OF that amount onlv
about one hundred and sixty dollars was paid
by the debtors, a sum amounting to less than.
one fifth Of the cost.
In the space of seventeen months one thou
SdHu oi our cltIZcnS nave been taken from their
occupations and from their families and shut I'm
in a Jail for non-performance of contracts
What benefit, let us ask, have the creditors OBJ
tained! We answer none; not even cou,pensa-
ton Sufficient to pay them for their loss oftime.
Ought such a system then longer to be tolera-
ted; a system ruinous to both debtor and cred
itor, and so repugnant to the rights of freemen
in a free and independent country!''
1t appears 10 us. that an evil so palpable and
SO monstrous. could be partially. If not wholly
remedied, by the Intervention Of Legislative aid.
II, as it has been said, the Legislature of
Rhode Island, be possessed of power, which
cannot be wrested from it, why not operate
that power, in behalf Of abuses which are too
inonstrous to be suffered, and which are so pal
pable. as not to escape the eye of the most
careless observer! According to- the facts
stated by the journal, by reason of the exist
ence of this remnant of barbarsm, The State il
taxed about FOUR THOUSAND DOL
LARS n year-a sum, infinitely larger than the
whole State owes - for no other earthly reason,
than to make men slaves-to distress the dis
tressed, and oPpress the oppressed-in a word,
to Iuin the morals and the happiness of tho
people.

SLAvERY.-The last number of the "GEN-
IUs OF EMANcIPATIoN," a periodical work,
published at Baltimore, contains an able, and
very eloquent speech on the subject Of Negro
Slavery, delivered in the Senate chamber of
the Virginia Legislature, inthe year 1921, dur
ing the tendency of the celebrated Missouri
question, by the Hon. Daniel Bryan. The
speech is richly worth a perusal, and may be
taken as an able specimen of Virginia elo-
qucnce.
1t was sent to us, by a FRIEND residing at
Baltimore, with a request that it should be
published in our paper, but as the speech occu-
pies eight or ten columns of close matter, il is
by far too voluminous ior our limited spa &c.
Thus placed, we can do no more than say,
that 1t is at the service of any gentleman, who
may wish to read it, and that its perusal,
would afford a rich feast, 10 the member of
that distinguished and philanthropic order of
religionists, the FRIENDS, or Quakers, as they
arc more generally denominated. Whilst read
ing the speech, we have realized no small sur
prise, to find, that a friend to the prosecuted
Airican,- and to the great cause of universal
emancipation, should dare TO utter such bold,
yet manly and christian like sentiments, in the
very heart of the land Of slavery and proscrip-
ton.

our liberty and independence, and gained for
Us a rank among the nations o! the earth, still
remain on this side Of g another and a better
world" Many Of these time-honored heroes
ard patriarchs, depend upon the cold charities
Of the world for subsistence, and have appeal
ed-yet appealed in vain, to the government
Of the country, for a little food for charity for
a small allowance Of this worlds goods, to rock
tho cradle OF declining life-to smooth the
passage to the tomb. Houseless, friendless,
cherries, and abjoct, some of them wander
from door to door, TO gain a miserable subsist-
ence, and endure all the pangs of perjury and
misery, whilst those for whom they fought and
bled, live in palaces, know not the horrors Of
poverty, and turn Indignantly from the recital
Of The soldiers sorrows. But few of them re-
mais, 10 tell the tales Of other times to re-
count the glorious deeds of the Revolution
Each succeeding year sweeps them to eternity,
and the day is not far distant, whom the whole
of tina; once gallant band, will slumbcr with
the ashes Of their fathcrs;- the day is not far
distant, when they will not need any of our
aid, or appeal to our generosity, for they will
rest in the mansions of the h%appy-in the
presence of their God. Bot whilst they
yet linger on this SIDE of the grave, and re-
quirS our assistance, shall we dcride and scoG'
at their appeals, and turning from them with
coldness and scorn, tell them, ego, get ye to
some howell, and bay the moon, how like the
midnight wolf, and curse thy life in bitterness
Of misery!" No! forbid it Heaven, forbid it
justice and humanity Whilst they remain
with us, let us make ample provision for their
support, that in descending to the grave, they
may not tell the disgusting story of mans I'M
kindness and ingralitudo! Let the National
Legislature listen to their appeal, and grant
the humble boon they so justly ask.
In conclusion, we will ask leave to return
orr undivided and earnest thanks to those who
have been pleased TO smile upon our humble
efforts, and 10 encourage our labors, feeble
and inefficient as they are. But if we have
not met the high expectations of all, we have
endcavored TO perform our duty, and to the
best Of our ability, have %striyen TO serve the
public and our country. To each and all of
our friends, we tender the best wishes of our
hearts, and pray God to speed them well, and
to prosper and protect them through the
vicissiiudes of the ensuing year; during which
period, we hope to serve them, and to merit a
continuance of their approving smiles.
