DEATH OF JUICE WASHINGTON AND La
DY. The Hon. Bushrod Washington, one
of the Associate Justices of the Supreme
Court at Washington, died at Philadelphia
on the 26th ult
In October last, on bis way to New Jersey
to hold the Circuit Court, he was taken I'M
well in Philadelphia, but was finally able to
proceed and discharge his duties. On his
return he was taken sick and died in that
city. At a meeting of the bar of Philadel-
phia, it was voted to wear mourning for the
space of thirty days, and to express to the
family of the deceased, . the affection of
the bar for his memory, and their deep re-
greet for his loss"
The Philadelphia United States Gazette
states that Mrs. Washington, who left that
city on Saturday morning, was suddenly Ia
ken alarmingly i'll, hetween GraY's Ferry
and Bells Tavern, and being conveyed from
her carriage into private dwelling house,
shortly after expired. Mrs. Washington was
on her way to attend the interment of the

deposited in the tomb that contains the re-
les Of his illustrious progenitor, at Mount
Vernon. The body had arrived in Baltimore
and had been placed in the apartment of Ly-
ford's Fountain Inn, formerly occupied by
George Washington.
In the following character of Judge Wash
ington, copied from the Daily Advertiser,
we think we recognise one of his distin-
guished associates in Office.
THE LATE MR.. JUSTICE WASHINGTON.
"The death of Mr.. Justice Washington
is an event, which cannot but cast gloom
upon all the real friends of our country. He
was born on the 5th of June, 1862, and was
of course now in the 68th year of his age.
It is well known that he was the nephew,
and we have a right to say the favourite me-
phew, of President Washington. The latter
bequeathed to him by his viii his celebrated
estate on the Potomac, Mount Vernon, which
was the residence of this great Patriot dur
ing the most brilliant periods of his life, the
delightful retreat of sold age, the scene
of his dying hours, and the spot where by
his own order his ashes now repose in the
same tomb with his ancestors. To him also
President Washington gave all his valuable
public and private papers, as proof of his
entire confidence and attachment, and made

LANCASHIRE:
TUESDAY MORNING. DEC. 8. 1929.
wILI,AM PENN. We publish to-day the

WILxyAM PENN. We publish to-day the
18th and 18th numbers Of William Penn up
on the present crisis in the condition ofthe
American Indians" We have never known
any essays so extensively circulated by
means Of the publick prints throughout the
country. They have been copied from the
National Intelligencer, in which they were
first published, into great variety of news
papers, and, no doubt, have been very gener-
ally read, as they have been spoken of in
terms of high praise from every quarter.
We know that they have been very favoura-
bly, received by many Of our subscribers. and
believe that they have been generally ac-
ceptable.
In these numbers the history of the vari-
Gus Indian treaties, the transactions of the
general governments and of individual States,
in relation to the aborigines, and the legal
rights Of the latter, have been detailed with
a clearness and precision that have produce
ed conviction in many minds of the sound
ness Of the writer's views on every topick
upon which he has treated. The publick
sentiment has been somewhat excited and
somewhat changed during the last season, in
relation to the Indian controversy. Still We
fear that it will be made party question,
and that it is already settled that Georgia
shall extend her laws over the UnGLieaGted
co,ntry Of the Cherokees. Settled? And
by whom? By the National Government,
who have already told the Indians that Geor-
gia must do as she pleases. God forbid that
it should be made matter of party strife
but we fear it. We should consider it as
one of the foulest blots upon our escutcheon
--an escutcheon that does not, even now,
shine with untarnished lustre.
The numbers of William Penn are print
ing in pamphlet form for the sake Of more
permanent preservation. In the Cherokee
nation it has been determined to print them
in the language Of that people as well as in
English. Let the remnant whose ancestors
were lords of the aChOte soil remember that
there are those among the people of the U.
Safes, numerous body, who look upon their
apprehensions and their sufferings with sym
pathy, who will use all good endeavours in
their behalf; and should these fail, will rely
upon the Merciful One to stay the arm of
the oppressor. and not suffer freemen, be-
cause they have the power, to play the part
of tyrants, and confound all moral distinc-
tons between right and wrong.
NoTE. Since writing the above we have
received the numbers of the Nat. Intelli-
gencer, containing Nos. 10, and 20 of the
writings under this signature.
1t is the design of the writer, now that
he has Recommended, to finish in about six
numbers. The two last published embrace
subjects of much interest. We shall pub
fish all the coming numbers in our paper.

CATEcHIsM OF THE HISTORY OF New
HAMPSHIRE. We have lately received from
JoHs FARMER, ESQ. little work with the
above title, which gives in the form of ques-
ton and answer, the history of NewHamp-
shire, from its " first settlement to the pre-
sent period, intended principally for the use
of schools and families" To this is added
an appendix, giving the forms of government
in New-Hampshire, the Chief Magistrates
of that State and Massachusetts,, from 164l
to 1929, with the Kings of England, from
1923 to the revolution of 1775. A list of the
most considerable towns in New Hampshire,
with their former names, the academies of
New Hampshire, and sketches of John Cult,
Richard Waldron, Edward Cran6eld, Joseph
Dudley, Edmund Andres, John Usher, VIII
liam Partridge, Samuel Allen, Richard Earl
of Belloment, George Vaughan, Samuel
.Shute, John Wentworth, William Burnet,
Jonathan Belcher, David Dunbar, Benning
Wentworth, and John Wentworth, who were
Chief Magistrates of New Hampshire, when
"a province by itself. and when connected
with Massachusetts.
The work, like all of Mr.. Farmers works,
discovers untiring industry in the selection
and arrangement Of his materials, and great
fidelity and simplicity in the narration. It
as valuable book for schools, and even for
persons of education it is of use in refresh
ing the memory ia the most important par
Tticulars of the history of the State. There
is also in the work much relating to the his
tory of the Bay State" and the leading
events in the history of the Union.
In the great multiplication of books of in
sstruction, at the present time, where many
are valuable, and many of questionable use,
we think that Mr.. farmers work must hold
a respectable place, and meet with ready
sale: for it is of permanent value and au-
fhorlty as pleasing and easy introduction
to more thorough and particular study OF
the history of the State.

CHAPMAN JOHNSON. During late de-
bate in the Virginia Convention, this gen.
tleman received full measure of John
Randolph's bitter and malignant sarcasms,
unproyoked and unjust. Soon after, Mr..
Johnson, in closing speech, replied to Mr..
R. in the following merited expression Of
scorn -
, 81 shall not resume my seat without say
ing, that TO the bitter sarcasms, gratuitous
imputations, and learned jests of the gentle
man from Charlotte, Mr.. RI have no plea
to enter, no answer to make. No matter
how low / may stand in the opinion of 9TH
ers land they cannot rate me lower than /
estimate myself) have yet sufficient self
respect not to snswer that gentleman and
if self-respect did not, respect for the Com
mittee would, keep me silent"

LECTURES. Mr.. EVANS, as was an.
nounced, gave his Introductory lecture on
Friday evening last. 1t was quite fully
attended. The specimen which Mr.. E.
gave of his mode of lecturing was favoura-
bly, received. His apparatus, by which he
is enabled through the eye to make last
ing impression upon the mind, is quite ex-
tensive. He is clear in his explanations
and relations, and illustrates so as to sat-
isfy the hearer. He prefaced his lecture
with some very pertinent and well express
ed Introductory remarks, upon the import
ance and interest of the subjects embrace
ed in his course, and then proceeded to IL
lustrate geography with the aid Of chro-
nology, and divers drawings, and conclud-
ed with brief exposition of his mode of
imparting knowledge of the science of
astronomy.
Mr.. E. has the advantage of most lee
turers in possessing large illustrative APP
paratus. This advantage will be fully un-
derstood by all who have attended teach
ings in these sciences.
We hope that Mr.. E. will receive en-
couragement sufficient to induce him to
60 through with his course of lectures
here. 1t would indeed be but poor COM
pliment to our taste and our love Of
knowledge if those who seek for instruc-
ton should suffer this opportunity to pass
neglected.

GRoToN HERALD. We received on Sat-
urday last the first number Of new paper,
printed in Groton, on fair sheet. 1t is
to be independent in its politicks. All

our professional sympathies, and can only
wish that the harvest may be abundant for
all the labourers.

TnE NEw-HAMpsnrRr JOURNAL. I

The NEw-HAMPsHIRE JOURNAL. This
paper, which has from its commencement
been conducted by Mr.. Jacob B. Moore, of
Concord, has lately passed into the hands of
Richard Bartlett, ESQ.,, of that place. Mr..
Bartlett is gentleman, and man of very
respectable talents, and fair character. He
has been for several years Secretary ofState.
But men have risen who put no value on
pure old coin, and substitute tinsel in its
stead, and Mr.. B. and others Of respectable
ty have to give place. From some personal
acquaintance with Mr.. B. we think the sub
scribers of the paper fortunate in having so
worthy an editor. We look to him as to
one who will use his efforts to raise the char
acter of the press in his own State. For it
is not to be disguised that much must be done
to rid their papers of limited views on many
subjects, gross personalities, and general
tone of virulence. The press in this country
is so all-important that we should think it q
signal blessing of heaven if men of known
talents, and unblemished reputation, and
soundlearning, could be induced to take the
lead in conducting newspapers. The influ-
ence they might exert would be large,
healthful, expansive, permanent. There
then would no longer be caterers for the
depraved political and moral appetites of the
diseased members of the body politick-for
demagogues, who can only live in pesti-
lential vapour Of their own creating-or for
knaves, to whom an honest system Of policy
would be as fatal as their last disease.
We do not indeed look to such time,
because we are no believers in perfection !;
but we do look for better tone than pre-
walls in many of our prints, and for more
labourers for the puhlick who shall please,
and AT the same time instruct and raise.

CUSTOM HOUSE. We insert the follow,
ing at the request of correspondent, al
though we differ from him in almost every
respect. The whole, subject, pro and con,
is somewhat offensive to fair minds, and
we are not disposed to extend any re-
marks thereupon. As to the excellence
ofthe present administration, c'eaat J,tdeus
.4ppeta.
FOR THE LANCASTER GAZETTE.
MEssRs EDIToRs.-It is not surprising
that opposition to the present administration
should exist, or that complaints should be
made by such as are removed from Office.
But it was not to be expected that men, who
make any pretentions to magnanimity or in
dependence Of spirit, should suffer incividu-
al interest to betray them into course
evincing chagrin and an utter restitution Of
manly pride.
The complaints which are daily made
against the existing administration have their
origin in disappointed hopes. and excite no
other feelings towards their authors than
pity and disgust. They have not, however,
been confined to the President and his cabi-
net; but have extended, with equal rancour,
to every individual who has been honoured
with an appointment under them. Of these,
no one, it is believed, has received a more
liberal share of abuse than the collector of
Boston, Hon. David Henshaw. If strict in
tegrity, prompt and faithful discharge Of
the duties of his Office, consistent and I'M
wavering course in politicks, could have
shielded him from the host of aspirants who
have assailed him, patience would not have
been provoked by the temerity of their at
tacks.
VIVA. C. Jarvis, who has recently been
removed from the office of inspector, has
even appealed to the President and Senate
of the United States to avenge the injury he
has sustained at the hands of Mr.. Henshaw.
Mr.. Jarvis was once conspicuous member
of the republican party; but mas outlived
his political reputation and his fame ; and it
would in no degree increase his claim on
the collector had he even proved all he as
serts. The system of doubie-dealing and
trimming which has been pursued by Mr..
Jarvis is but "a sorry compliment to his Judge
ment or his integrity and it is not surpris-
ing that those who had the discernment to
detect, and the principle to expose, him,
should be obnoxious to his hatred and re-
venge.
"No rogue eer felt the halter draw,
With good opinion Of the law"
In no instance has it been asserted, even
by the most bitter of his enemies, that Mr..
Henshaw has provided for the friends of the
administration at the expense of the publick !;
and it is revolving to decency, and humiliat-
ing to honour to be insulted with the re-
proaches of individual enmity and conten-
tons. Even Henry Clay saw the improprie-
! ty of retaining situation under an admin
istration he had so violently, but Intellectual
! ly, opposed; and would blush for the man
