the following singular conclusion: ~"

single men and bachelors. than he had ever Gao.
elsewhere, and greater aversion or in,IiGersn.aS
to matrmony. This seems to me (con,;nucd ".
Governor an evil Of serious magnitude ,nI
to demand reform. According TO the hos, o.
innate he had been able to make. there had boo,

the Governor) passed two DAYS in this town. and
been rarely cheered by the appearance of Iady
1t seems to be a town Of bachelors. On S,,nr.
day, he supposed the ladies were too much occu.
pied with their domestic concerns. To he visible.
bat hoped that on Sunday, he would see. in This
respectable. wealthy, and popuIous country. 4
numerous assembage of both sexes. at Church
in the town, or near il; but. 10 his surprise. he
was informed, on Sunday morning. that there was
no preaching in town or neighborhood, and that
the preachers rarely came to Washington. bc.
cause there were so few ladies in the blaze
The Governor said that the idea was novel 70
him, but on reflection, he did not ccnsure the
preachers, for how can they expect the clad It'd
ings OF the Gospel will penetrate the heart, of
sinners, who are insensible to the charms of wo.
men? If there are Continued the GOVERNOR
but few ladies in this town, there are a mum.
Der of as intelligent and agreeable gentlemen a.
are any where to be met with, and may be per.
mtted TO hope for speedy reformation.
The Governor begged, in conclusion to offer
the following sentiment, which was received with
cheering applause.
