MATTHIAS THE PROPHET,

This notorious individual whose pro-
per name is Robert Mathies, was ar
rested in this city on Monday after
noon, upon the authority of an adver-
tlscment issued by Benjamin II. Fol-
ger, of the city of New York. The
expressed charge against him was, that
he had left New York having in his
possession a large amount of Mr.. Fol.
gers property but he has been gull
ty, it is asserted, of many other NAL
practices, some Of them of the black
est character, and worthy of the most
severe punishment.
Mathies commenced his career of
lanaticism some two or three years
since in this city, when he proclaimed
himself "the PROP het of the God Of the
Jews, and asserted divine power
lie shortly afterwards went to New
York, where he continued TO proclaim
his doctrines, but with little success at
first. He soon, however, secured the
favor among few others of less con-
sequence. ofthree of the most wealthy
and respected merchants of Pearl st.
Messrs. Pierson Mills and Folger.-
These gentlemen received his doc
trincs in the fullest confidence, and be-
LEVIED him 10 be all that he declared
himself Their treasures were thrown
open to the impostor, and he layished
them upon himself most profusely. He
purchased the most costly wardrobe
His robes of office were richly trimmed
with gold and silver. He wore
sword ofthe finest Workmanship, and
his gold watch and establishment equal
led the lustre Of the most costly.
The bondage of these gentlemen
was complete the fact that three IN
telligent citizens of New York were
thus deluded, will form one of the
darkest pages in the whole chapter OF
modern fanaticism but the chain with
which they were bound is broken,

THE cocknsy lives in go-cart Of local
prejudices and positive ailusions; and

knows how TO Stand or move. He ventures
through Hyde Park Corner as a cat eros
SEES a gutter. The trees pass by the coach
very oddly The country has a strange
blank appearance. 1t is not lined with
houses all the way Ike London. He comes
TO places he never saw or heard oil. He
finds the world bigger than he thought it.
He might have dropped from the moon,
for any thing he knows Of the matter. He
is nightly disposed to laugh, but is half
afraid Of making some blunder. Between
sheepishness and conceit, he is IN a very
ludicrous situation. He 6Bds that the l,eo-
pie walk en- two legs, and wonders to hear
them talk dialect so different f~0m his
own He perceives London fashions have
got down into the country before him, and
that some OF the better sort are dressed as
well as he is. A drove of pigs or cattle
stopping the road is very troublesome
interruption. A crow in the field, a mag
pie in The hedge, are 10 him very odd ami
mal5--he can't tell what to make Of them,
or how they live He does not like the
accommodations at the iUns--it is not
what he has been used to. He begins 10
be communicative says he was " born
within the sound Of Bow bells" and at
tempts some joke al which nobody laughs.
He asks the coachnsn question, 10
which he receives no answer. All this is
to him very unaccountable and uncxpect-
ed. lie arrives at his journeys end, and
instead of being the great man ne antIci
pated among his friends and county rela
lions, finds they are barely civil to him,

rant Of, as they are Indifferent 10 what he
says, so that he is glad to get back to Lon.

MARYLAND cTIoSs.---CHEERiSe! IT,
From the returns received from the elections in
Maryland we arc enabled 10 announce that the
strong holds Of Jacksonism in that State arc
thrown down, that the whole Van Burcn fabric
is left an unsi Chilly heap Of ruins. We graft
fed to hear Of Wing victories in Frederick and
Baltimore, but can scarcely believe cur eyes and
ears when we see and hear that our old neigh
Dor Washington County is tcholIy regeaGaied.-
Returns from this county received here on Tues
day, exclusive Of the Hancock district which had
not been heard from, gave the Wing ticket an
average majority Of more than 200. BY an en-
dorsement on the way bill of this morning from
Boonsboro, we learn that the entire Wing ticket
is elected ia Washington and Frederick, and in
Baltimore city, in the latter by majority Of
about 500.
The Wings Of Maryland deserve infinite Gre
dit for the spirit and energy with which they
have ba,tled for their violated constitution and
laws. It remains for our brethren of Pennsylv
MIA and New York to tear the laurels from the
brow Of the opprt ssor aud his heir apparent, and
snatch from beneath their feet the charter o.
American liberty. I" Go on patriotic Whigs''-
the eyes Of the nation are upon those you who
have yet 10 strike
