I The following extract, (in italics, from
the late Mr.. Girard's VIII, has been pub
lished in many papers without the accom-
panying explanation, and has naturally
given rise TO much speculation as to the
Testator's views upon matters Of moral-
ty and religion. For what purpose the
explanation has been omitted in the prints
alluded to, We leave the candid reader to
judge.
81 enjoin and require that no ecclesias-
TIC, m'ss'onary,or minister of any secl phat-
scorer, shall euer hold or exercise any Sta
tion or duty mhaterer IN The said College;
nor shall any such person erer be admitted
Tor any purpose, or as risitor, withm the

which clashing doctrines and scctarian

sire is, that all the instructors and teach

still into the minds of the scholars, the
Purest principles of morality, so that, on
their entrance into active life, they may
from inclination and habit, evince be-

THE AMERICAN SYSTEM.

Ii is very amusing, and somewhat gratifying, te
see how awkwardly the Jackson men are falling
in with the course pursued by the National Re.
publican party, so far at least, it respects the
Protective System. This remark has been ELECTED
by the introduction Of resolution in the Legisa-
ture of this State, now in session, by Elisha r
Potter, Esq. for instructing our Senators and Re-
presentatlves in Congress, to use their influence to
increase the present duty upon imported WOOL
This 'cut and thrust, or cunningly devised ma
nuuvre of Mr.. Potter's did not quite reach the
point Of its destination.-This resolution was in
troduced, most unquestionably, for political pur-
poses--to aid in the election Of the Jackson tick
et.-But MIR. Potter's misfortune is that he is now
rapidly passing on the down-hill side of life-be-
ing quite in the neighborhood Of ''three score and
TEN" and what to him is equally vexatious, he is
surrounded i'll the Assembly (where he has lived
some forty years. by new race of men, many
of whom are as sharp SET and as quick on the
scent as he himself ever was, and all of whom
are beyond his control.-Mr James f. Simmons
instantly caught hold Of the worthy genteman's $
proposition-thanked him for introducing it, and
moved an amendment to the same, which went to
instruct our Senators and Representatives, TO sup
port the WHOLE Protective SrsTEM-and
there, to use a homely phrase, "the cat jumped
out Of the bag"
