We are requested by highly respect
ed fiend, to copy into our columns the
following communication from the New
Bedford Daily Mercury of Saturday.
An adroit book-runner has, for some
time, been besieging heads of families in
this community to become subscribers to
"a commentary on the Bible by DR..
Jencks of Boston, work which has not
been seen bv an individual in this town;
yet is recommended as not scctarian -
DIR. Jencks is known to be n decided
Calvinst, and this work is patronized by
DR.. Wisner, who is too well known to
admit that he would sanction any work
which does not support the five points OF
Calvinism. Will any one pretend that
Calvinists are not sect, as much as the
Pharisees and Saducecs were sccts ia
the days of our Saviour? If ] am cor.
rectly informed, and have no doubt OF
the fact, this Commentary, embraces the
substance Of Scott's Commentary, though
extracts from Clarke, Henry, sc. MOI
initiating with Calvanism, may bo ad-
mitted. 1t is passing strange that any
who deem divine truth important, vii
suffer themselves TO be nsidously led to
introduce to the young members of their
families any work calculated to give 4
bias to their minds, in searching iol
truth, contrary to what they believe il
the meaning of the Scriptures, the onl,
pure and infallible standard Of truth
How long will people submit to be thu
drawn into the sectarian metz They
subscribe for books which they have no
seen, and this under false prctences no
verified by the contents Of the book
which, in the forum Of conscience ant
law, will fully justify refusal to receive
il when examined.

which is due to their rascality.

Mr.. CLAY knew that the cholera was
spreading with great rapidity all over the
country. 1t had made its appearance
in several places directly on the route
he would have to 60 from Lexington to
Boston, ard he would have been as like
ly to take it OH the route as at home, and
perhaps more so. lie therefore prefer
red remaing at home, in the bosom of his
family, where, if it had fallen to his lot
to have been attacked by the fell mon
ster, he knew he would have received
every attention that a husband md "a.
ther could expect; but which he could
not have expected if attacked from home.
Although Mr.. Clay and his family
all escaped the ravnges Of the cholera,
he must have been too deeply affected
by its ravages among his old and respect
able friends, to enjoy as he would under
other circumstances, tho pleasures of m
eastern tour. This was doubtless anotIr-
er reason with him for declining his visit
to the east.-KentucLy OJserrer.

A serious disaster had nigh bcfallcn
the independence ~, which is lying in
the stream at the Navy Yard, in Charles
town, on Wednesday. Early in tho
morning, Commodore Elliott went on
board to give directions about having the
ship well moored against the arrival Of
the cquinoctial gales, and while on deck,
it seemed to him that she lurched more
than usual, lie ordered the pumps to
be tried, which being done, il was ascer-
tanned that she had 4 feet water in her
hold. Some rogue had broken Off tho
brass cock fixed on one of her sides TO
let in salt water occasionally, and the
ship was filling rapidly. But for the
timely discovery, she must have sunk
during the afternoon or night, in depth

Mr. BuRGEs has been blamed by those

TO charge him-for defending himself a

which have been brought against his

any regard for his character, is not justi-
fled in rcpelling libels upon it, when
those libels may, by repetition, come to
be believed by the people. But it is
in vain to decry Mr.. Burgess. There is
not village in Rhode Island, which
does not feel the benefits of his public
labors--not manufacturer or n farmer
or revolutionary pensioner,-who do not,
with their hearts, feel grateful to him fol

1t is impossible to keep pace with the
thousand falsehoods that are palmed up
on the public by Mr. Pearce's abettors,
in the vain hope Of cajoling the frccmcn
Of this county into his support for Con-
gress, after his deliberate and wanton
abandonment of the National Republi-
can party in their most recent and sever
est contests. One Of them, however, is
so mischievous in its tendency, that we
think it our duty, for the information Of
our friends at a distance, to give it flat
denial wherever we can reach ii. il is
reported we understand by the Anti-ma
sonic runners for Mr. Pearce, that there
is not the least doubt that he will receive
the almost entire support Of the National
Republican party Of Newport-that he
is fast retrieving his old popularity-and
that a few individuals only, who would
like TO be leaders, are in vain striving tc
misrcprcscnt him to the people for the

vate and malignant resentments! W.
