the meekness with which the administration editors
received the exultaon. Not more than two OF three
Jackson papers had claimed that district, before it

DELAWARE BAR-HoNoR!
Notwithstanding the great claims to honor, prln
ciple, pety and learning. made for the fennsy,va-
MIA Bar by Captain NoRvEL, it is over-topped by
that Of neighborng commonwealth. At least such
is the opinion of the FRS. Law Officer of the great
State of Deiaware composed ofthe counties OF New
Castle Kent and Sussex Mr. ROGERS, brother OF
the Hon. Motion G. Rogers, who ornaments the
, Bench Of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania SO
rs he formerly did the Office of Secretary OF State.
But that's another matter, and we'll even drop 1t.
| The Dela1oare ROC ERs says that IT he were dis
posed to undertake the labor, he could adduce
thousand instances of legal honor, &c. OF the Della
ware Bar to show the arrogance OF Norvell's claims
for that of Pennsylvania, but he contents himself
with single instance. This superiority OF Della
ware Mr. Rogers says, was displayed to splendid
degree in late trial at Newcastle the decision OF
,,hich was left TO three gentlemen OF the BAR
Two of these though of high character for honor
and piety were sworn but the third stood 80 very
high, both for honor and law, that such pledge
was required from him. The issue OF the case
showed that 40 oath was little needed. For after
the case was decided in favor Of the Plaintiff, says
I Mr.. Rogers this great lumlnary of Delaware Law
yers obtained reversal of the award on the plea
that it had been illegally made!! Now, says Mr..
K. am more than doubtful whether such an in
stance of pure and honorable dealing can be exhibit
ted by the members of any other bar in the creation
1t is not believed that the gentleman alluded tt
had any interest with the Defendant in squaring h'
conduct in the manner he did. But It's very GER
: tain, that Delaware can boast Of as pions and a.
: honorable Lawyers as Pennsyl, ana, let Captain
Norvel say what he pleases against it.

FORGERY.

The Jackson corresponding Committee of Phlla-
delpha have in the National Journal, been convic-
ted of publishing and circulating a forged commits
sion, purporting to have been issued by General
Washington to Jackson, as attorney general for the
territory Of Tennessee In the first place, it appears
that there was no such Office as attorney to terri
tory and, in the next place, that General Jackson
never received such appointment. The Phlladel-
phia committee have confessed the forgery.

into town by large concourse Of citizens, under a
federal salute, and repaired to the Methodist church,
where he was congratulated in an address made by

stated his determination to be the Governor OF the

1t is fact, which cannot be CONFERENCE.-THE IS
fact which ought, of itself alone, to be concusiv.
against their cause, that every one Of the principal
Editors who now advocate the election of Gen Jack
son, can be proved, out of his own mouth, not only
to consider General Jackson unfit to discharge the
duties of President, but also to have thought and
said that, in comparison with Mr. Adams, he IS IN
feror to him in ali the attributes and acquisitions
which make up the character Of a statesman, or
qualify an individual to discharge the duties of high
civil office. When every obligation of public duty
is thus spurned when total disregard to consist
ency of conduct marks total depravity in the OPP
position press what reason have we to doubt that
the party will do every thing it dare do, to accom-
| plish its ends 2

The Jackson papers are busy re-publishng par
agraph cauioning their partsans against report
that is to be circulated the OF the election,
"that Gen. Jackson is deud.' This r1mor the OPP
position call :. helish." So far, the project is
" hellish," for the plot originated in their own pa
pers. We challenge the whole pack, and the Tel
lie to boot, to produce such paragraph from any Of
the Administration prints. This rumor is about on
par with the story Matched up by the Jackson fac
ton that the hero was born of mulatto IN order to
get it copied into the Administration papers. But
the thing did not take the pistol missed fire.

prospect before wears the most latterng aspect
for the success Of the great and good cause in which
we are engaged. Without entering into particulars
we can assure our political friends, that, all circum-
stances considered if we had ourselves the abso-
lutte power of arranging affairs for the success OF
the grand election, we could not place them in a
more favorable condition. for the reelection Of Mr..
Adams. The New England states, York, New

From the Neao- Fork ObSerper. THE ANNIVERSARIES.

The past week has been a season ofpecu liar interest to Christians in this city, as well as to the multitudes assembled here from broad. It is believed. that on no similar Oc casiun so large number of clergymen have been assembled,-probably between 200 and 25O.
 The meetings have been generally crowded to overfiowing and we know that we ex- press the views of the members when we say. that, taken as whole, they have never been surpassed on this side of the Atlantic. A. mong the speakers will be found the names of some of our ablest men, both ministers and laymen and it is usual on these occasions to expect their highest efforts. This expecta ton has not been disappointed and yet, in speaking eff these performances, we have ab- stained from special commendation, because, having once begun,we should not know when to stop.
 In order to lay before our readers, the present week, full account of the proceed ings, we have been at the labor of writing out a large part of the contents of this paper with the pen. The abstracts which we have given of the Reports, will be found repletc with en- couraging facts and comparing them with the reports of the same Societies the previ- ous year, it will be seen that in almost ev- cry instance, there has been a remarkable advance.
 The American Bible Society shows an in- crease of $1O, ,989 O5 above the receipts of the former year,-the whole amount being S75,- S79 93; and an increase of 37, ,55O in the num- Der of Bibles and Testaments printed, the whole number being 118,75O.
 The receipts of the Home Missionary So- ciety are greater than those of the preceding year, by the sum of S1,65S 5s-the whole amount being $19,799 9s.-The number of missionaries aided, has been increased from l69 to 2O1.
 Apart from the funds received for scholar ships, the receipts of the American Educa- ton Society have increased in the sum ofS2,- 224 53, exclusive of what has been received by Branches not reported. The total re- ceipts,w the exception mentioned,are S33, O17 5s. The number of benefciares taken under the Society's patronage the past year. is 91-previous year, S5.-Whoe number of benefciaries, about 800.
 The receipts of the American Tract Socie ty, have amounted to 45,134 58, which is an increase of 14,721 57. The number ofpages printed, exclusive of covers, and also exclu- sive of 5,aO8,OOO pages of Children's Tracts, is 5S,667 1000, being an increase of 17,858,5OO.
