"SINGULAR THE Com
mtteo appointed by tho town of Providence to
engage an orator for the 4th of July, applied
to great number Of gentlemen, but could get
no one to serve, and gave up their commission.
A new Committee of Arrangements was ap-
pointed. The same difficulty occurred in Prov
idence last year, and we believe the day was
not publicly celebrated at all Salem Gag.
The editor Of tho Gazette is mistaken in in
timatiDg that the day was not celebrated the
last year in this town. An Grafton was delv-
cred by Mr.. Greene, at the request ofthe young
men, who took the whole management of the
business into their own hands after it was given
up by the Towns Committee.

uNEw HAMPsHIRE SKNAroR.-The
Legislature of New Hampshire on Tuesday last,
made choice of the Hon. SAMUEL BELL, the
present incumbent, for six years from the fourth
of march next. Mr.. Hill editor Of the Patriot,
was the opponent Of MI. Bell. The vote in
the Senate stood for Bell 10, Hill Il Matthew
Harvey I. In the House, MIR. Bell had 1873,
Mr.. Hill s2, Mr.. Harvey 2. Ezekiel Webster g.
We congratulate the citizens Of New Hamp-
shire on the above result. They have done
nobly in defeating the pretensions Of such
man as Isaac Hill, and they deserve the thanks
of the whole country, for saving the Senate
chamber from being polluted by the presence
of the defamer Of female innocence. MIR. Bell
has always been faithful advocate for the in
terest Of New Hampshire; lie has acquired an
influence in the councils Of the nation, which
but few men enjoy; he has been tho firm and
undertaking supporter of the American System
and is in every way calculated to add additional
honour to the State, which no has heretofore
represented with SO much ability.

Fon THE CADET.
PurFINs.--Ths criticisms and notices OF
your brethren of the quill compliment 20 high
ly the wit, genius, taste and eruditiop of all
new publications, that we are absolutely ANA
zed at the number Of such immortal and i'm.
mortalizing productions. Every mail brings US
an account of some one Of these trophies of
the present age; and as to literary journals,
edited by the greatest scholars and wits that
ever lived, they are as countless as the leaves
Of the forest or the sands on the sea shore.
But the worst Of the story remains TO bo told !;
the puff and the work pulled, generally accom-
pany each other to oblivion; the editor wants
spectacles TO examine some new prodigy Of
intellect; and the next number Of his paper,
in making known its merits to an astonished
public, completely banishes all thoughts Of the
predecessor. The general fact, that the pres
ent age is the greatest and most stupendous
that has existed, is indeed established; the
march Of mind" is placed beyond doubt;
but this is the only effect Of this system of ush-
ering into the world with flourish of trump
cts, every new publication however insignii-
cant. OF the minor and ordinary puffs we say
nothing. Every man who is about TO start up
on new prospect, Of any description wha,ev-
er; whether he undertake to instruct the head,
discipline tho feet or replenish the stomach,
has right to expect a newspaper paragraph,
setting forth bis unparalleled merits, and as it
were, to puff him into the notice Of the public
This is a matter Of course and complied with
by the whole courteous and complimentary
fraternity of editors. But we protest against
a too Profuse indulgence in the puff literary
New works pour upon US in such numbers, that
it is an object to check rather than encourage
the supply Besides, dullness and stupidity,
never produce such dlsagreeable impressions,
as after they have been iauded as genius and
ushered forth as wit.
In short, Messrs. Editors, would have you
greet the really worthy, with your most sedu-
cling smiles and most flourishng compliments
but not unnecessarily to mistify the public by
CALCULATIONS Of praise. on those whose hatness,
dullness or nonsense, alone entle them to
notice. LEON.

AMERICAN QuAnrERLY REVIEW, No vi


AMERICAN QUARTERLY REVIEW, No vi.
We have perused this number with consider
able pleasure, though inferior in Interest, and
variety TO the preceding. Some Of its articles
are of dry and abstract character, which
possess very little interest to the public at
large, however agreeable to a select few.
The Edinburgh Review gained its high rep
utation, and circulation, It is said, of sixteen
thousand copies, by certain liveliness and
piquancy of its articles, which addressed them
selves to the taste Of every reader. Its satire
was often rash and unsparing Gas in tho case
of Byron,) but tie wit and eloquence with
which oven its erroneous positions were stated,
gave il an immense influence and circulation.
The American Reviews, with perhaps equal
talent and industry, appear to US to lack much
of this popular tone their criticisms SAVIOR too
much Of the closet; their tone is rather that Of
scholars than men Of the world; and their elo-
o,icnco is Sc dom of that direct and masculine
character, which addresses itself to every un-
dcrstanding. Were their subjects as we'll as
their tone, little less erclu'ipeiy literary and
philosophical, the public, We think, would be
material gamers, and their influence greatly
increased.
Lord Byron and some Of his eotempora-
ries. MIR. Leigh Hunt has bestowed upon the
public bulky volume, considerable portion
Of which, is filed with the details Of his init
macy with Lord Byron. Acknowledging HIM
self at the outset, the enemy Of the noble po-
ct : he certainly verifes his assertion in every
page Of his work, and presents us with far
rago of anecdotes Of his daily life and conver-
sation, which are any thing but favorable to
his reputation. Lord b. was according to
him, vain, caprcous and affected; mean and
covetous in pecuniary matters; gross and in
delicate in his treatment to his friends and as
sociatss. Ho had no powers Of conversation,
but embodied his ideas in the stanzas Of his po-
ems; his aid to the cause ofthe Greeks, which
cost him his life, is laboriously represented as
attended with less pecunary sacrifice than had
been supposed; aad lastly, this retailer ofscan-
dal and cht-chat, asserts that he wrote his po-
etry under the inspiration of gin and pater.
Such is the kind Of literature with which the
London press teens. The few items Of this vol
ume above given, sufficiently shew the spirit
in which it is written; and it is probably about
as far from correct picture, as the most ex-
travagant of the batteries and eulogiums which
have been showcred upon Lord Byron. Tho
life Of this extraordinary man, given in pr o.
per spirit and temper, yet remains to be writ
ten.

Or -Nep- York State Conpention.-Th

C5-.New- Fork State Conpention. The
State Convention Of the friends Of Tie Admin
istration, commenced its session at Albany, on
Tuesday last. ALEXANDER COFFIN, Of
Columbia, was chosen President, and .Archi-
bald .r Intyre, Secretary. Nnety-nine dele
pointed to draft an Address TO the People, Of
which AMBROSE SPENCER, was appointed
Chairman, and contrary TO the prediction ofthe
Jackson presses, the Convention disclaimed
Governor. The Albany Daily Advertiser, in
speaking Of the Convention, says: "We are
highly gratfed at the appearance Of the per-
sons composing the State Convention. Among
them are many of the Oldest and most firm
supporters of tho republican party. and tho
first talents in tho State enrich its counsels.
The appearance ofthe venerable ALEXANDER
COFFIN, Of Columbia. now nearly ninety years
of age, fills every one with admiration and re-
spoct. When men of his age and character
como out warmly in support of the adminstra-
ton. il is encouraging and vivifying to the
younger class Of electors. A cause supported
by such men must be righteous, and canno.
fail Of success. The representations given in
dividually by the members of the Convention
ofthe growing popularity the administration,
confirms what we before were well convinced
of. The administration cause is safe in this
State"

GEoRGIA.-The citizens of Columbia, and
the neighboring Counties Of Georgia, .avora-

to adopt measures in opposition to the election

tiou OF Mr.. Adams, and Of some person a.
vice-presldent, who will be acceptable to the
people Of Georgia.

Society Of Friends. We nave mentioned
the schism which has divided this Society both
in New-York and Philadelphia. and some un-
pleasant transactions which have grown out
Of it. The burial ground in Philadelphia has
heretofore been used in common by the differ
ont meetings but in consequen of the
Greon-street meeting being separated from tho
others, or Gas we find il expressed IN the Po-
lice report,) laid doton, difficulties have ar
risen as 10 the interment Of the dead, by it's

by reference to an advertisement in our col.

SUIcIpE.-We mentioned in our last, the
circumstance of one of the deck passengers on
board of the Chancellor Livingston, having
jumped overheard while on her passage to
N. York ,and was drowned. The circumst ances
appear to be as follows: Two men, ono by
the name Of Yates and the other by the name
Of Adamson, engaged their passage to New
York with Capt. Coggeshall, as deck passen-
gers. About seven o'clock in the evening, af-
ter the boat had left Providence. Adamson
and Yates had a quarrel respecting some spe-
Gle. Yates went TO the baggage room and
took from his chest bag of dollars, which he
carried about, saying it was too much to lose,
and shortly after empted the whole on the
upper deck After some tins, he requested
the captain to take charge Of his money, and
place il in his iron chest, which was done
Nothing further was noticed until about eight
O'Clock, when the deceased came on deck,

gine was stopped, and an Intellectual search for
the body was made by the boats.
"what rendered this occurrence the more in
espIicable, was the subsequent conduct OF Ad-
amson, who mp TO Monday noon, appeared TO
be in a state oe stupor or arrangement. No
distinct answers could be elected from him,
and he seemed or pretended TO be wholly un-
conscious Of the fate Of his companion. He
has since been under guard, and slept sound
ly through the night, as il nothing had hap
Psned."
The above facts are taken from the Mer-
camille Advertiser Of Tuesday. The same pa

o. Religious Ceiebrations.-We have re-
ceived we'll written communication, on the
subject Of religious celebrations Of the 4th Of
July, which we cannot publish. We can see
no objections to Religious Societies cele-
bratins the day in their own way. If they do
not wish to participate in the usual festivities
of The 4th of July, and prefer meeting togeth
er for Religious exercises, no one can or ought
to object.

LIBERALITY.-The following article is en-
titled to just as much Importance, as the gen.
erality Of the trash which fills tho columns Of
most Of our religious publications:
"The history Of this Theatre Bowery has
been short and evontful. On the 18th Of June,
1926, the corner stone was laid by a public
officer, who but for this act might still have
been the Mayor Of New-York. The ceremony
was performed on Saturday afternoon, at 5
o'clock, as if to bring it as near as possible in
conjunction with the Sabbath and in COM
pleting the inner work, wo are assured from
various sources, that the Sabbath was not dis
tinguished from the rest Of the week. In the
spring Of 1927, the Managers imported lot
Of French dancers, Of description which had
not before been tolerated in the country, and
exhibited them to as many as could be allured
by low prices and glowing placards, TO behold
their indecent dress and lascvous gestures.
On the 26th Of May, 1928, after having done
more to corrupt the minds Of youth than per-
haps any other Theatre in existence within so
short period, it was suddenly burnt to the
ground.
The Dancers spoken Of above will visit us
during the summer, and we hopo will be liber-
ally patronized. There is nothing "lascvious"
or indecent in their "drcss'' or "gestures. -

the most polished and respectable females in

phia, which s q sufficient refutation TO the
