tho PRIDE OF having Dew eouny hey could forget the
influence OF office their they would cease 70
importune the Legislature the subject" I have no
doubt the people in the good
as ga Citizen, and as far from desire TO set up king
dom or TO seek office IL is rational 10 suppose that
ooo petitioners looking to office; he must there fore
alude TO particular individuals. 1.-The means 70 ir-
snuate that the man whom he says the polls shew the
people the county opposed actuated b. desire
Tor Office il he knows that gentleman he knows that he
never sought Office ofprol and "a Citizen, must Know
that he has nsnaed that which he knows has no ounda
ton in truth. Iii said, the petition involves the principle
and propety OF reducing the territorial limits of county 10
such size and Dimensions, will enable wealthy family
TO order and decree as may right or wrong This
reasoning does not certainly apply the new county be-
cause there are no wealthy families in the county, and
in looking 10 the magistrates they are now commission
ed, do not know but two who VI all connected and
they very remotely. So that if there was any thing in
the argument does not apply BUTT said proportion
as you limit the intercourse between man and man YOU
crap his understanding, his views and make him
nj subject Tor the demagogue. GA Citizen certainly
did not see the force of this argument If YOU have the
territorial limits OF your county large that the citizens
residing on the borders oil the cannot ot their
Courthouses TO hear their personal and polcn ri@hs
discussed then the argument OF "a Citizen" may onnly.
but II we should be so fortunate get new county
we trust that our citizens will enbarpoed and that
they Will continue TO have the privilege of attending the
court oil the old county, where they will be enlightened
by me Ciuzen, who, presume il speaking Ci.i-
sen In conclusion, have to remark that if the nett
uoherS nave made out such as requires relief
hey VIII nave new county, notwithstanding the silly
wit and maleyoent nsinuatons of the Citizen altboug
it should be pous and christian county.

YALE CoLLEGE.-The faculty of this
Institution have made an appeal to the
citizens of New-Haven, and called a
meeting at the Centre Church, to be held
last evening, in order to make up the
sum of $780, 900, towards which $1,000
is already pledged, on condition that the
whole be made up by the l st Of Deem
ber. This sum is wanted to enable the col
lege to keep up its standing and utility.
The contributions to the fund, with in
considerable exceptions, were from mem
bcrs Of other communities. 1t would be
a subject of deep regret if the liberal in.
tenions of those who have done so much
to produce the whole amount, should be
defeated by the want of a comparative

PRAYER AGAINST PEsTILENcE.--The
following prayer is set forth s. allowed to
be used in the Eastern Diocese, as an oc
casional prayer ofthe Episcopal Church,
BY BISHOP GRIswOLD.
God and merciful Father, who de-
spisest not the sighing ola contrte heart,
nor the humble surp'ications ofthose who
fly to thee for succour, and seek thy face
in prayer, look with pity I'VE beseech thee,
upon thy dependent, unworthy creatures,
who have no help nor hope besides thee.
We acknowledge, O God, that we have
sinncd and done wickedly, in departing
from thy precepts and thy judgments,
provoking most Justly thy wrath and in
dignation against us. We desire, hum
bly, in the dust, to bewail our ingratitude
and forgetfutness of thy goodness ss;--that
our hearts are SO cold towards thee,
while thy merc:cs to US are so abundant.
Help US, o heavenly Father, earnestly
TO repent and work in us n godly sorrow
for all our misdeeds. 1t is of thy mercy
that we arc not consumed. In the midst
of life we are in death; to whom can we
look for aid, but to thee, o God, who for
our sins art justly displeascd! Look
down with compassion upon our country ;
while thy judgments are abroad in the
earth, may the inhabitants of this land
learn righteousness, and so turn to thee,
by penitence and prayer, that the awful
and desolating scourge, now visiting the
earth, and approaching our borders,may,
thro' thy mercilul goodness, be turned
from US. Remember not, Lord, our
offences, nor the sins of our Fathers,and
take not vengeance Of our transsressions.
Spare US, good Lord; spare thy people
whom thou hast redeemed. From all
evil and mischief; from plague, pes'i!ence
and famine; and from the sickness which
destroys at noon day, good Lord deliver
US And wilt thou visit in mercy those
countries and parts of the earth now suf'
fering under this dreadful chastisemont
