O. 1t is evidently the interest of the To-
ries, to multiply the political parties in this
country. Their strength consists in the divs-
ions among those who are opposed to the
present administration. Let there be Union
among the Wings, and the cause ofthe Con-
stitution and the country, must and will be
triumphant. 1t is the policy Of the Tories to
foster Anti ti-masonry and Trade Unionism,and
they secretly lend them all their aid and sup
port. A late number Of the Pittsburgh, pa,
Gazette, says "that petition for Conven-
ton to give up Masonry forever, has beer
signed by every Wing Mason in Pittsburgh
but three but that the Jackson. Masons pre-
vented the Convention, by opposing it."

THE NEw.Y ORK MIRROR.

THE NEW-Y DIRK MIRROR.
1t is unnecessary for US to add our humble
opinion to what is universally conceded, we
believe, by the literary public, that this is one
Of the most valuable periodicals devoted to
literature and the fine arts, which has ever
appeared in this country. 1t has now reach
ed to the 18th or 18th number Of the twelfth
volume, and stiIl maintains high and incrcas-
ing reputation in all the departments Of lite
nature which it processes to cultivate. The
letters of N. z. WILLIS, Esq. tone Of the ed
itors of the Mirror,) entitled "First Impress
sions or Notes by the way" containing a
most agreeable and diversified account Of his
recent peregrinations in Europe,-and Mr.
FAY's (anothcr editor) communications, in q
series of "Familiar Letters" from that cont.
nent, would alone be sufficient to recommend
it to the attention of every literary and inqui.
sitve mind. We have made these remarks
at this time, as we understand that the gene.
raj Agent for this journal will probably vis
Newport in the course Of next week, wher
our friends who are desirous of obtaining SC
valuable and entertaining paper, will find i
their interest to subscribe for it. A spcci
men number has been left at this office, which
we invite them to examine.

Letters from Savannah state, that in con-
sequence of the sickness among the negroes
on the rice plantations, several ofthe planters,
in order to save the lives of the slaves, had
removed them to healthy positions in the
pines, after setting fire to the growing rice
which, it is said, is injurious to the soil if left
to perish upon it. The abandonment Of the
cultivation of this article, added to the de.
struction Of great quantity, by the storm o
the 4th inst, it is thought will occasion Q
scarcity, in this important product.

INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.-A base attempt a
gainst the person of the Hon. ]. G. Wat
lnough, we are informed, was made on Satur-
day evening last, by some wretched Tories,in
the upper end ofthe county. Mr.. Watmough
was in attendance at public meeting of his
constituents, to which he had been taken by
Daniel Filter, Esq. of Kcnsington, in his wag-
gon, and while he was speaking, some mis-
creants took out the Inch pins from each axle
tree of the Wagon, knowing that he inten-
ded to return by the same conveyance. The
consequence was, that soon after the Wagon
left the place Of meeting, it was upset, and
but for wonderful interpostion of Provi-
dence, both the gentlemen inside would have
been killed. This is a most outrageous and
diabolical proceeding, and it is earnestly hop.
ed that all good citizens-all who are not in
the pay Of the British King-will lend thcil
aid in ferreting out, and bringing to the pun
ishment of the laws, these bloody minded op.
ponents of Liberty.

VsRAcITY.-A fair estimate Of the credit
due to the representations of the Hon. Dutee
J. Pearcc, member of Congress from Rhode
Island, may be forined from an occurrence in,
Congress the last session.
When the ayes and noes are called, in the
House of Representatives, no member is al
lowed to vote unless he 10 actually within the
bar Of the House, at the time his name is
called. Sometimes, from accidental clrcum-
stances, members may not hear their names;
and they then usually ask leave to be called
again, in order to have their votes recorded.
Near the close of the last session. the ayes
aud noes were taken on bill, believed to be
the bill relating to the deposites of the public
moneys in the pet banks. After tho call had
proceeded Mr.. Pearce, who had not answer
ed, asked to have his vote recorded. Mr.Bell,
the Speaker, inquired if he was within the
bar of the House, at the time his name was
called an inquiry, which in itself conveyed
no very crcditable implication, to which Mr..
Pearce replied in the affirmative ; and his vote
was ordered to be recorded. At this moment,
and informed the Speaker that to his certain
knowledge, the member from Il. l., was no,
only not within the bar, but was not within
the House at the time his name was called
This put the gentleman into a dilemma ant
overcome by modest confusion he said, in Q
shuilling manner. "Well, ifit is SO, let my
name be taken off," or words to that effect.
We have the authority of a member of Con-
gress, for saying that he too knows the fact
that Mr.. Pearce was not in the House, at the
time his name was called, for Mr.. Pearce
came in at the time HE did and this is the
veracious gentleman, who chooses to attacl
the characters of such men as John Lowell
and Harrison g. Otis.
"Bark ut the moon, ye deadly dogs of night"
We give this anecdote on the authority of
gentleman who received the facts from those
who were present and witnessed the transac
ton.

From BERMUDA.-By the Br. sloop Exper

muda papers to Sept. 10th:
They contain intelligence from many ofthe
British West India Islands, in regard to the
operation of the Emancipation Law, which
went into operation on the LIST of August, and
we are happy to say, it is in general Of IA fa
vorable character. At st. .Chrstophcr's
where some disorders had occurred, tranquil
ity was again restored. In several other Col
onies, the negroes at first refused to work, blu
in one way or another their insubordination
was speedily subdued.
