dignity the course TO be pursued by those

missions in the recognized militia 10 be
issued in pursuance of that decision, res
quiring no other oath than that which it
recognizes as constitutional.
The Governor does not consider the
crisis TO require the summoning of an exs
ira session of the legislature, as had been
suggested in other quarters, but refers the
whole SUBJECT to the next legislature, TO be
chosen in October next. The test oath
having been adopted by vote Of ts0o-
thirds of the present legislature, will, if
passed by similar vote in the next, be
legally incorporated into the State con-
stitn,ion. This he calls an appeal to the
highest source of power--the people.
The elections at the polls 10 October
will, therefore, turn upon the test oath

"Do not believe every idle tale you may
hear about the health ofths city. 1t was
never healthier at this season--thers is
not case of the cholera that have heard

particular in making this statement is
this: You may recollect the widow Buck

from Green TO Jefferson street on First
street. She had daughter married to
Mr.. Leander Clark, the Sunday night af-
ter you left here. On Monday morning
two of the party died, and several more

real scourge. Well, on Tuesday NOR
ming three more of the family died, and
were all buried at once. They were ia
ken to the Methodist Church, where an
address was delivered suitable to the So.
lemnity of the occasion. So many dying
in one family, and nc sickness elsewhere
began to excite suspicion. On Weakness
day morning there we're ten Of the party
dead.-This created such panic that
the friends Of the family caused the boz
dies to be examined, when behold, lit was
discovered tina. they had all been poison.

casion of the wedding, when all were bu~
sy, to do the deed, supposing that it would
pass undiscovered. They have all been
secured in gaol, to await their trial.

In to-day's paper will be found an extract
from the speech Of NJ. Mexican, in the Sen
ate of the U. Stateson the 18th inst. on the
subiec of pettionsand circumstances on
the part of Pennsylvania respecting the re-
moval of the deposes, and the recherter of
the Bank ofthe Estates. The opinions of
Mr.. Mexican arenthled 10 much weight
when they relaten any way to Pennsylva-
mia. There is pthaps no man in that state
who is more capole offorming a correct es-
innate of its polcal bearings on any ques-
ton either natioal or otherwise. He has
always been 10 decided friend Of Gen.
jackson, and till is go; but the unprlncl-
pied men by nom he is surrounded he be-
lieves has ledim astray by their base sy-
cophancy-s sch as Kendall, Blair, Van Bu-
en- and some theirs.

a crime which certainly loses none Of its
enormity from being perpe,rated 10 the
House of GoD-and we trust there is firm
ness enough in the New York magistracy
to make that law respected in this partis'
uar instance. 1t is high time for the res
pectable people of the north to pat doson
these immediate abOHtionists, who con-
ceal beneath the white robes of mercy and
religion, the weapons of bloodshed and
civil war. We are glad to see our old
friend Of the Commercial Advertiser in
the front rank of those who oppose the
incendiaries, because his position as the

arresting the progress of hypocracy and
