THE BANK ROBBERY.

When our Mondays paper was dis
tributed with paragraph relating to
JOHN FULLER, we were not aware that he
had voluntarily surrendered himself to
the Cashier of the Bank We have since
been informed, that about three o'clock
OH Monday morning, he had sealed up
and directed to Mr. rockingham, up
wards Of Thirty nine Thousand Dollars,
and proceeded himselft to a place from
which to take his departure from the city,
being apprehensvc he could no longer
conceal himself therein. But on his way,
consideration "like a guardian angel"
come and suggested to him il would be
better to submit to the laws, than wander
fugitive from justice, without place on
the earth whereon to rest the sole of his
foot. He accordingly turned towards
his own house, awokc his family, sent for
MIR. rockingham, delivered himth mon
ey, and asked Mr.. +. to go with him to
MIR. Badlam, under keeper of the prison,
to whom he delivered up himself about
daylight, and went into Jail as volunta-
ry prisoner. I'm the course of the day a
warrant from the Police Court, and anoth-
or from the District Judge of the United
States District Court, were served on
him, and he was held by examination
AT 10 o'clock yesterday, he was brought
into the United States Court, before the
Hon. John Davis, and Messrs &. Blake
and ID. Webster appeared as Solicitors s.
Counsellors of the U. S. Bank and Mr..
S. ID. Parker, was retained as Counsel

by the statute there seems much to be
left to the discretion Of the Court us to the
degree ofpunishment, doubtless because
circumstances alter cases" Now there
are two circumstances which, we think,
should operate to mitigate the punish
ment Of Fuller; one is, the voluntary sur
render of all the money he had Oh hand !;
the second is, his resolution to save to the
Bank the amount of the reward (no less
than $500 dollars) offered for his arrest
and the recovery ofthc money. The pol
icy of the law undoubtedly requires, that
no offender should ever escape punish
ment, but it is equally good policy to hold
out to offenders inducements to make all
the restoration in their power, to open the
door to repentance, and to encourage tho
culprit to return to virtue. In this frail
world, the locus peniienii9 should've be
closed against sinner. Heaven never

THE UNITED Twins OF HUNGARy.-
There were two girls, born at Saxony
near Komorn in Hungary, in the year
l7O1, who came into the world united be-
low the spine; but otherwise forming two
distinct beings, each having her own face,
hands, arms, feet SC. One went by the
name Of Helen, and the other by that of
Judith; the former being the handsomcst
and finest moulded of the two. In the
seventh year oftheir age they were sold to
physician, who gave them an opportu-
nifty of seeing Italy, France, Holland,
and other countries, and at three years.

seventy forins CT 300 and upwards. y
When near their or it's; tenth year, Au-
gustus, the cardinal archbishop of Gran,
placed them in the convent of Ursulines at
Prcsburgh, where they were instructed
in religion, languages, lace making, sew
ing, SC. They were much attached to
each other, although a quarrel would oc-
casionally spring up between them when
they would exchange fisty-cufls, and the

They could turn their heads on one side
towards each other; Judith frequently
slept whilst Helen watched, or the one
rested from her labor, whilst the other
continued working; though it will be
readily imagined, that whether they were
sitting, lying down, or walking, either
action was attended with much inconven-
ience to them. AT the age of sixteen,
Judith was struck with paralysis in her left
side; it is true she recovered, but her
mind became duller, and her body far
less active than before: Helen, in the
meanwhile, continued as humorous, clev-
er, and handsome, as ever. They had
the small pox and measles at the same
time; but trivial indisposition, coughs,
slight fcvers, sc. would affect one of
them, whilst the other enjoyed perfect
health. Judith in her twcnty-sccond year
fell into a species oflothargy, and appear
cd to be dying; and Helen was simulta-
neously attacked by slight fever, atten-
ded with faintings, which reduced her to
such state of debility, that scarcely
three minutes before the deccase of her
sister she was struggling for life; indeed
both expired nearly at the same instant,
though in the perfect possession of their
mental laculties.-Foreign Literary Gu

had been no election of the natives
There was most happy picture here
drawn from Cherokee refinement and
Georgian charity; and Mr.. Everett de-
clared, that such was the civilization OF
the men called savages by that State,
that they wrote their defence in better
languages than that employed by the
high functionaries of our national Gov
ernment.
MIR. Everett then observed, that we
ought not to be too severe in our opinion
respecting the rigid views Of our ances-
tors; and il was asked, should we have
done better, had we been in their places
The pilgrim-lathers did much, and they
ought to be Judged, by remembrance
of the state of things as they existed in
England; and then, what they effected
here will stand out in bold relief. They
here established the independence of
Churches, declaring that there was moth
ing above the church but its Master in
heaven, and they separated the Church
and State. This did our Puritan fathers;
and this was truly glorious. Had they
been intolerant, who in that age could or
would have rcbnked their intolcrancc?- ?
Would England? Francei Holland? No!
Even Holland would have thought of

Only think, said the orator, of what
they were looking at in England! There
where for whole generation men had
been seeking in parlamcnts long and
short, what the will of the Lord was,
ihcrc they allowed Cromwell a modest
title, which he had picked up amid the
ruins of routed aristocracy; and after
proclaiming war against dcspotism for
years, they turned to General, and
aid, "Will you bring us a King, with
conditions or without conditionsW and
Gen. Monk and his army brought them
one, without any letters of promise or
obligation. Mr.. Everett declared that
he rcverenccd these worthless, this side of
idolatry.

glowing eloquence with which the ora
tor poultrayed the su0crings and deaths
Of the early settlers, who were buried on
the very spot where the Church stood in
which he was addressing us, and the bat
tie Of Bunker Hill, would be presump-
ton and sin of which few would be
found guilty; task to which no man
could be equal, unless he had kindred
genius. The tendency of this Grafton
was good. No man, no youth could
leave the house without increased love of
Home, and native Land, and high re-

still this famous Miss Wright, had the ox-
cessiye vanity to think that she possessed
the mental powers in all respects adc-
quatc, to produce that tremendous moral
revolution which should quietly upturn the
very foundations ofall our civil, political,
moral, and religious institutions. by her
system there should be but one vast un-
distinguished and undistinguishablc COM
munity of interests-our churches con-
verted into lecture shops in which, her
disciples and apostles should discourse
nonsense to the ignorant and degraded
Americans-thc holy institution of matri-
mony, with all the tender and endearing

less to the race ofman, as Chinese AL

it may seem to some Of our readers, that
such woman could succeed here, in
commanding the attention of respectable
auditorics to her lectures, upon such sub
jects as we have here detailed, it is new
ertheless true that in the city of New
York she has been listened to for month
after month, at her stated lectures, by
crowded congregations. In that city too
she has established what she modcsiIy
terms "Hails Of Science," in which some
of her accomplished pupils deliver lee
lures illustrative of her new system-and
there too has she established several
presses, from which issue weekly, if not
daily, papers devoted to her interest, and
the propagation of her principles. Mil

HENRY CLAY.-Itis, and al


ways should be, a source of qualification
to every honorable mind, to observe the
gradual, and frequently rapid restitution
public opinion invariably makes to dis
tinguishcd men, for whatever injuries they
may have sustained from the malignity of
unprincipled political oflicc-hunters. In
no case during the whole history of the
republic has this fact been more striking
ly and eflectually manifested, than in that
of the illustrious and incorruptible states
man of the West. Fresh in the memory
Of all the living, are the vile and wicked
calumnies which the enemies ofthc coun-
try, day after day, and year after year,
heaped upon the head of this devoted
victim-the page ofhistory, too, must be
sent down to postcrity loaded and black
encd with their foul and unloundcd char
ges Of "corrupiion and int,i que, and bar
gain and sale" But we rejoice in be-
lievng that the loathsome record of these
long exploded slandcrs, will hereafter be
remembered by the sensible and the yir-
tuous, only for the purpose of perpetual
ing the infamy of their authors, and Sc
curing Mr.. CLAY more firmly in that hold
on the affections of his countrymcn, to
which his commanding talents, and un-
sullied virtues so richly cnttlc him. Yes,
the name of HENRY CLAY will be
held in proud, in grateful recollection by
his country and the world, for ages and
ages after it shall have been forgotten
that such rermin as Woodbury., and Green,
and Kendall, and Benton, and Noah, ever
lived, and were permitted to traduce his
fame. The current of public opinion,
from one extremity of the country to the
other, is sitting strong and with incrcas-
ed and increasing energy in favor of Mr..
CLAY. lie has already been most en-
phatically designated by the better and
larger portion Of the nation, as suitable,
and in truth the only, man in every way
fitted to redeem this great people, from
the deep degradation into which, in an
unguarded moment, they carclcssly suf-
fered themselves to sink. That Henry
CLAY will succeed to the Presidency at
the termination Of Gen. JAcKsoN's pres
ent service, no well informed and ration
al man can reasonably doubt, even for
moment The indications in favor of this
position are quite too strong, and too pal
pably apparent, to every dispassionate
observer Of the "signss. Of the timcs," to
leave room for doubts or fears. five

MISS FRANCES WRIGHT-W,


MISS FRANCES WRIGHT.-We
perceive by the papers that this singular
woman has recently left our country for
Europe, whence we sincerely hope she
will never return. The strange and a.
bominable doctrines, or rather notions,
which she has been necessarily laboring
for the last two or three years to dissem-
mate and establish in various parts of the
country, are better suited by far, to the
rotten and dccaying governments of the
old world than to the strong and sterner
virtues ofthis growing rcpublic-the very
foundations of which were laid by our pi-
Gus fathers on that Interchangeable basis,
public virtue and religion. We arc not,
thank God, cursed with an established
religion possessing the power of WELD
ing the strong arm of government, for the
purpose of punishing those who might be
unwilling to assent to the arbitrary de-
crces of an impious, and prohigate priest
hood.-But it is the boast of this nation,
and the sure guarantee of her future
hopes and prosperity, that whilst every
man is here left free as the air of heav-
en-, TO worship JEHOVAH according to the
dictates of his own conscience, or even
not TO worship him at all that still there
is no spot in this created world where the
genuine principle of "pure and undc filed
religion" has more pcrvading and pow
erful influence in unostcntatiously con-
trolling the actions of men than it has
here in this land of the pilgrims. And

INDEPE ENDEN C Eve be-
lieve the 4th of July has been quite as
universally celebrated this year, as it has
on any previous anniversary. Our mail
papers are filled with accounts of the Gel
ebration in all parts of the United States.
We are glad to perceive that the day
which gave to these "Unitcd Colonies"
their freedom and independence, is not
likely to be forgotten by the rising gene
ration, the offspring ofthe illustrious wor-
thies who achieved at the hazard of their
ires and fortunes, what no other nation in
Tie world, excepting this, now enjoys.
1t is unnecessary, for the sake of keep
ing alive the pure republican feelings and
principles which actuated our ancestors
in the times that tried mems souls, to en-
courage national hostility, now that we
are at peace with those who were once
our oppressors; nor should we, at the
same time, be so lost to the recollection
of those times, as to suffer the day to pass
off unobscrved and unnoticcd-to grow
less and less, every succeeding year, in
our estimation, till it is no longer regard
cd as day worthy of our gratitude and
vcneraticn, and the events connected
with it are finally lost in the intcminable
vortex of oblivion.
We hope the day ofthe ever memorable
'76 will never be forgotten-that the re-
of it will be cherished by

shall enjoy the blessings of liberty.
