The following extract from letter written by Jcre-
miah Everts, Esq Of Boston, is furnished for publ
cation by the Secretary Of the Society, to whom i.
was addressed:
"Our Board must, this year, in special manner,
depend for funds the friends Of the cause in the
terror, owing to the most unusual commercial embar.
raSsmcn,s which are felt in large cities and towns
on the seaboard; and which press very heavily our
religious well others. Some Of the best and
Hbiest friends Of missions in this city have failed 9TH
have met with losses, and find their bu.
snrss Improbable, that they think themselves obi
gcd very much TO diminish their subscriptions, while
others withdraw their names and decline giving any
thing. There is not probably friend Of missions in
this city, possessed Of any considerable properly who
is able to give this year, he last. The state
Of things in most Of commercial towns and cities,
is somewhat similar This makes US fear that our on.
eraons may be greatly embarrassed for want OF funds
before the close Of the coming year, unless the remit
tanres from the auxiares in the interior shall he
much increased"

u iInn. john Fitch has been nominated Car the
Senate in the 2Is' district. With the exception Of the
IIih 18th and iG,h districts, the nominations by the

paper, the American Mercury, with the rcqucs, that
we would rcpubIish it:

an,iJackson democrats orig naliy projected. So
far the returns Of tie Senatorial nominations have
been received in this city, three :ffhs Of the men
