mocrat of Wednesday last says:-On Sun
day the rivers AIlegany and Monongahe-
ia rose to the unusual height Of % feet
above low water mark-wanting feet
of the great flood nearly two years since.
Part Of the first level Of Allcganyiown
was inundated-the occupants Of several
houses on il leaving them in boats.
The Cincinnati Advertiser Of the 10th
says The river continues rising, and
has risen upwards Of four feet in the "a
hours ending last night at sunset.
The Juniata Free Press ofthe 22d inst,
says The Juniata has not been SO high
since the completion Of the canal, as il
was on Sunday last. The water in many
places passed from the river into the ca
pal, through the waste wires. Sumo
damage to the canal may therefore be
sPPrehended.

The debates in Congress on the removal of the
dcposites haye been less characterised by party
recrimnation and political rancour, than by the
talents and reputation ofthe different Speakers
1t must be confessed, however, that the adminis-
raiion claim but little Of that real attic salt and
weight Of talent thus far displayed in this interest
ing and important debate as will appear on COM
pang the speeches Of its friends with those of the
,pposton.
The speech of Mr.. Polk displays more talent
than any among the supporters Of the President,
and may be considered the ablest and most candid
exposition of the reasons offered in his vindcation.
Mr.. Benton's speech is made up, as is generally
the case with the more labored efforts Of the Mis-
souri, Senator, with strange medley Of flippancy
vanity and bombast moi likely materially to
strengthen the cause he advocates, or to produce
conviction in his opponents In opposition TO the
measures Of the administration, and against the ar
gumenis Of its friends, Mr.. Clay in the Senate, and
Mcssrs. Binney and McDuilie in the House, have
contonded that.tho removal Of the deposites, is a
palpable usurpation Of authority; contrary TO the
letter and spirit ofthe Constitution; in violation Of
the charter Of the Bank, and express provisions oi
other statutes Of Congress- opposed to the best in
tercsis Of the country, and in contempt Of public
opinion. They have ably and conclusivoly refut-
ed tie arguments Of their oponents, and fully sus.
tanned the propositions affirmed. The friends o.

Clergy are from the nature Of their sacred
Office almost always called to attend upon
q sick bed, the laws ought to interfere, TO
prevent the designing and i'll disposed
from making wrong use. OF the influence
they may thus obtain.
Ii is believed that by far the greater
part of the property Of religious corpora
lions has been given them by device in
ellis, and not by deeds or other convey
;ances.
Your Committee would therefore. rec
ommend the passage Of law, providing,
las in the English law that no convey
ance to religious or charitable corpora
tion be valid either against the donor, his
heirs, assigns, or third persons, unless by
deed, duly executed, acknowledged and
recorded at least one year before the death
.ofthe donor.
Much of the lands given to religious
corporations is given to them on the con-
dition, express or implied, that they shall
never ALLEVIATE il, and perhaps there may
.bea few corporations to which the power
Of alienation has not been granted. But
this regulation is rendered Of 10 effect by
the practice ofletting land upon very long
leases. On this subject we would only
observe, that it has heen decided by the
highest Judicial tribunalin England, that
lease for ninety years or longer,
was abreach of prohibition against alie-
nation.
Wah these views we conclude, and we
herewith present form Of an act, on
which, as the. subject is Of the highest
importance, we think the action OF the
legislature ought not to be delayed.
Unanimously agreed to by the Com
mittee consisting Of Messrs. D'Wolf, B.
Hazard, Sheldon, Hazard Of Kent; Thurs
ton and Diman ofthe Senate.

The Messrs. Aliens contracted for a
loan to the state Of Pennsylvania, last
year, Of $1,000, ,0O0-to be paid in month
ly enstalments. They have paid Sc ,3OO,-
600. They we're to have paid $4,000
on the 18th Of January instant. In con-
sequence Of the pressure of the times,
they have asked the Governor of Penn
sylvania, for delay Of this payment OF
sixty days-trusting that the crisis will
then have passed. The Governor be-
lieving that he had not power to act in
the premises, has made a communication
upon the subject to the Legislature
Such, and such only, are the facts. The
credit Of the house is mistaken.

FOR TIE STAR.
Mr.. RANDALL,


Sir,-My mind was rather peculiarly exercis-
ed few days since, on happening TO take up the
printed Report Of Missionary, who was last year
employed by religious community in New Eng
land, in order to explore the Valley of the Misss-
sipp, and to report in regard 10 its moral and re-
ligious circumstances; and was especially struck
with his observations in regard TO the town of Kas
kaskia, in Illinois, that the Roman Catholics have
suchcomplete ascendency, that the " Protestant
Families are oil leaving the place" Now
whether he makes this declaration from his own
personal knowledge, or from hearsay, does not ap-
pear; it is oweyer, If true, of nature to excite
the feelings of all who wish well to the cause of
Professionalism and Of pure Christianity in general,
and could but feel some anxiety to ascertain
whether these things be 50, or whether the subject
mary not have been viewed by the Reporter through
a medium somewhat distorted. In order to OBJ
tain this information, applied to the only source
at present within my reach, and on looking over
the Minutes Of the Annual Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church for Illinois, held 25,h Sep
tember 1888, find it there stated that the Church
members in Kaskaskia, at that time were set down
at S9S, and in that district, comprising nine towns
amounted to 1925. There evidently appears a
discrepancy in the two accounts, which is difficult
for us, at this distance to reconcle but must be
manifest to all acquainted with these circumstances
that one or the other Of the parties concerned in
the two publications, are somehow or other great
ly deceived.
My object in this communication is merely de-
signed for the information Of those who may feel
interested in the subject, and to caltheir attention
more directly to the condition of the Western
Country generally, in moral and religious po int
Of view, which not only appears by this Report,
but to have been by many similar publications,
frequently misrepresented. S.

OLD TINES. The following article,
from the Newark Advertiser, is said to
have been for newspaper in 1885, by
Gov. Livingston, the first Governor of
New Jersey, after it became an indcPend-

the saleries of the officers of government,
aud other littleness of the like nature and
costing the public more in their own wa
ges, by the time they spent in making the
deduction, (Which ought not to have been
made than it finally amounted to. l
have seen Justices of the Peace who
were a burlesque upon all magistracy /;
Justices ilIterate Justice partial Justi-
ces groggy Justices counting popularity,

encoursgeing litigiousness /; but have
not seen any Joint-meeting sufficiently
cautious against approaching such Justi-
ces Of the peace / have seen four times
.as many taverns in the State as are ncces-
sary,; these superabundant taverns are
continually haunted by idlers these tav-

The President begin to feel that his cause is.a bad

community more clearly, than has hitherto been
