FRoM BUENos AYREs. By the brig Ruth,

Aug. 29th, and Montevideo Sept. Sd, papers
have been received from the former place
to the date of the vessels departure.
The new provisional GOVERNOR of the
colony, Juan Jose Viamont, issued procla-
nation on the 10th of August, in which he
promised to overlook the past, but to put
down with the strong arm of power, those
that should raise the cry of discord. A re-

the trade of that country will be opened.
For the following abstract of intelligence
we are indebted to the U. S. Gazette =
At Buenos Ayres, we learn, all was quiz
ct. The new administration has been ar
ranged. We copy the following from the
Argentine News of Aug 30.
"All the newly appointed ministers have
entered upon the discharge of their respect
i've functions. The answers which they re-
turned upon receiving their appointments,
were published in the Gaceta Mercantil of
yesterday. Don Tomas Guido stated, +" that
it was well known to the GOVERNOR that
In field covered with ruins it was very
difficult to avoid stumbling but that being
obliged TO travel through it, he promised to
contribute all in his power to remove them,
and seek the shortest and securest path
towards the establishment of the institu-
tons of the country" The language of
Senores Garcia and Escalada was much to
the same effect. The latter, as Minister of
War, has addressed letter to Gen. Juan
Manuel Rosa, Commandment of the Country
Districts, stating that the Government had
authorized and given to the General full
powers to regulate the peace of the country,
and relied upon his known patriotism to
to carry it into effect"

An insurrection broke out, probably
about the middle of September, in the prov

marca, headed by Gen. Jose Maria Cordo-
va. This is supposed to be the same Cor
dova who commanded division at the bat
tie of Ayacucho. He had always enjoyed
great share of publick favour, and so high
did he stand in the confidence of the Libe-

forces sent to quell the insurrection of Oban-

The force which he had collected is stat

FOR THE LANCASTER GAZETTE.
OUR NS----NUMBER XII.

The demand for young men of fine and
correct principles is daily increasing. The
claim of the age is great upon them, and
stability of character is now the one thing
needful. We talk about men of genius
and talents, and cordially welcome them
to the highest Offices in our country. This
is as it should be; but it requires but a
glance at our institutions to see that they
are of nature to be upheld by firm and I'M
shaken principle, as well as talents Of the
highest order. We have too many exam
pies of the downfall of the strong fabrick
of government undermined by false and in
firm principle, to deny this. We are in the
habit,also accomplishing much about individ-
ual neglect and individual abuse, and attri-
butte them to the fault of discerning pub
lick but, in most instances, the evil is at
our own doors, and the remedy with us alone.
The cry is loud for patronage, patronage
but we are too prone to forget that it is for
us to say whether we will have it or not.
We must have such characters as will
bear the test of fair criticism and the eye of
startling scrutiny. We have done with days
of dreams, and want no frolickings of the
imagination or splendid paintings of fancy to
aid US in deciding upon mans character /;
but all we wish is firm, plain reality. Iii in
the secret springs of individual character
that the philosophy and morality of the age
originate and there is continual action
and reaction between them, and when the
character of individuals is fair and fine, So
ciety will be so also, and philosophy will not
be ashamed to own her divine origin. Men
of true stability of character are the main
springs of society-its life and soul. They
are beheld with reverence and listened to
with admiration; for they draw the breath
Of true feeling and deep sincerity. The fin

RAILROAD TO VERMONT. The survey Of
the route for railroad to Brattleborough,
Vermont, has terminated, and the Engineer
with his company has returned.
/ After meeting with Col. Baldwin's canal
survey of 1925, a few miles beyond Fitch
burg, which proceeds by the course of Mil
ler's River to the Connecticut River, Mr..
Wilder, the Engineer, resumed the survey
on the west bank Of the Connecticut, begin
ming on the southern border of Vermont at
Vernon, thence through Mortified, &c.
crossing the river to Gums Bridge.
The whole route has proved more favoura-
BILE for the construction of railroad than
was imagined by the most sanguine. The
inclination in no part of the line exceeds
fifty feet to the mile, and, in general, is far
less.
Mr.. Solomon Willard accompanied the
Engineer, and has since been engaged in a
"pedestrious tour" examining the quarries
Of granite in the neighbourhood Of the sur
veyed line.

of the route are 10 be staked out immedi-

To our correspondent Henry we would
say that on reflection we think it, on the
whole, best not to publish his well written

moved to this determination from the cir

expressly established, for the reception OF
writings of that kind.

The STORM of the 3lst ult. was one OF
unusual violence. 1t commenced on the
coast near Boston on the evening previous,
but the wind did not rise till the next morn
ing. In the course of the forenoon it blew
a complete gale, and continued during the
greater part of the day, the tide rising to a
much greater height than usual. At Boston,
Salem, and Gloucester great injury was
done: many vessels dragged their anchors,
and many came in contact with other yes
sells or with the wharfs and bilged. Con-
siderable damage was done to the wharfs
in those places, and to the shipping in New
buryport, Marblehead, &c. A house, in an
exposed situation, was blown down in Salem,
and several buildings and trees were up
heaved at Nahant. The storm was felt to
the eastward, and to the south as far as
Philadelphia, though there it was not very
violent.
We have heard of no injury sustained by
the land navigation, except that two citi-
zens, after descending the hill to the west
of Lechmere Point, at place where the
wind has an uninterrupted sweep, were fair
ly swept over, horse, carriage, baggage, and
all, in one grand melee. The principle
damage was sustained by the vehicle, which
was somewhat injured. One of the gentles
was, we understand, a little bruised, though
not materially. After righting, with the
help of some others, and putting the cargo
in order, they wore ship and steered west
ward, and met with no further accident
during the voyage.
After all, although perhaps we cannot
equal the West-Indes in this respect, we
have very respectable and tempestuous gales
in New England. Our ancient friends
doubtless recollect the famous September
gale in the year 1915, which was sufficient
to strand whole nayies, and swept off trees
and houses as very little things. Our early
historians record several of these violent
tempests. For the qualification Of our read
ers we quote from Winthrop an account of
two violent tempests that ragged in the early
years of the colony
"1636, mo. 6. l6. The wind having blown
hard at s. and s. w. a week before, about
midnight it came up at N. E. and blew with
such violence, with abundance of rain, that
it blew down many hundreds of trees near
the towns, overthrow some houses, and drove
the ships from their anchors. The Great
Hope, of Ipswich, being about four hundred
] tons, was driven on ground at Mr.. Hoffe's

Potomac, and be jealous of the good name
Of her distinguished sons, nor leave it to
another generation to repair the injuries of
the present. At the south they carefully
guard the fame of their men of talents, of
whatever political faith, nor will they hear
them abused; but they rather bring them all
forward and press them into the pubick SER
vice. 1t is so at this moment in the Vir-
ginia Convention, where Marshall, Madison,
Monroe, Chapman Johnson, Mercer, Dodd-
ridge, &c. are side by side, with Tazewell,
Randolph, Giles, ct id omne genus.
With regard to Mr.. Writ in the cause
above alluded to, it is true that he discover
ed great dexterity and ingenuity, and withal
surrounded his argument with much classic
al fascination. His whole manner, every
thing about him, was of character to catch
popular attention, as we'll as to make pleas
ing impression upon cultivated minds. He
has much of the orator, and all of the gen.
tleman. And we have heard Mr.. Webster
when we have thought him much superiour.
de did not seem, at least to us, to put out
his whole strength. 1t was not an effort
that would compare with others of his that
we have witnessed in the forum, nor with
some Of his speeches that we have heard in
deliberative assemblies. "Homer some
times slept"
1t is not easy to institute comparison be-
tween Mr.. Writ and Mr.. Webster. Their
manner, their mode of treating subject
every thing about them, is different, and al
the same time peculiar. But this we will say
that we consider Mr.. Webster to possess the
greatest compass of intellect. Mr.. Writ is
distinguished, but his whole fame and emf
nence belong to him as professional man
Mr.. Webster, on the other hand, is not only
of high character as a lawyer, but stands
in the very first rank as a clear sighted and
profound statesman one whose views widen
with all our political relations and embrace
the largest general interests. He is among
those few in every age, who stamp their
name on their own times, and enjoy in anti
cipaticn the respect ofthe future. We do not
wish to pronounce an unqualified panegyrick
upon any man while, at the same time,
we would gladly check, were it possible, the
unmeasured abuse and elimination daily
poured upon the good name of those who de-
serve well, and not i'll, Of their country.
Great efforts are making, many of them
indeed of doubtful expediency, to improve
the character of society. If some of these
were directed to the sins Of the tongue, and
would produce reformation there, they
would answer valuable purpose, and would
receive the support of all lovers of decency
and good order. Much may be done by the
editors of publick prints: indeed nearly all
for if they themselves do not "smell of cal
jimmy" neither will their papers, and the evil
will be destroyed at its source. But while
they give in to personal invective, and beat
down the distinction between the moral and
the bad, the evil will be perpetuated in all
its force.

We have seen model in this ingenious
and useful machine, the purpose of which
is expressed clearly by its name. The
full-sized machine is now in operation at
Gardiner Me. and is moved by water pow
er. The model, now on its way to the
patent office, has been exhibited by one
Of the propretors at Merchants Hall,
where may also be seen specimens Of the
Veneer produced by the operation. These
specimens are of the Birds Eye Maple
they are cut by the circular saws Of the
machine. (ihree in number, but they may
be increased at pleasure) before which
the log that is to be cut is continually re.
volving. One of the specimens is forty
yards long. Others are vanished and ex-
hibit the beauties of that most beautiful
American wood in all their richness. The
difference between the Veneer sawed from
the circular surface of the Maple log and
that sawed in the usual manner cannot be
conceived by those who have not seen it,
