U5~The following infamous appeal to
foreigners was pIacardcd in the 18th Ward
in the city Of New York during the recent
election. TO what desperation must a
party he driven, to thus shamefuy barter
their country ana their religion, for n few
irish votes! Such are the necessities, and
such the recklessness of the Van Buren,
party. They are bent on power at all
hazards; and with forty Mullins of the peo-
pies money in their hands, they are now
ready to make Il band of Irish paupers the
"rnlers" of the country, and secure to the
Catholic religion an "0Scendency." Mark
the language, Z" By perseverance, yon may
becomc as rulers;" and 'yoUr religion mag
htre hare The GScendency, and here poedomi-
nate." Freemen, HmeyicanS, sons OF the
Pilgrims! what think you Of these things
Are You prepared for this cup of bitter
ness: Yea or nay? for as you say so shall
it be. Bur. Free Press.
"lrishmcn to your posts, or you will lose
America. BY perseverance you may he
come its rulers; by negligence you will
become its slaves. Your own country was
lost by submitting to ambitious men Thi,
beautiful country you may gam by being
firm and united. Your religion may here
have the ascendency and here predominant.

man named John Holt, a machine Maker
entered grocery in that place one evening
last week and called for something to drink,
but the person attending, believing him
already intoxicated, refused TO give him
any thing, and ordered him out of the

the stoop, where he was shortly afterwards
discovered by the proprietor, who raised
him up, and attempted to lead him away,

Opening Of the Broad,Oay Tabernacle. -
This large and commodous edihce, built
for the 9th Free church, was opened for
public worship last Sabbath. Rev. N. f..
Johnson, pastor of the 3D. Free church,
preached the opening sermon, with The
appropriate dedicatory exercises. In the
evening, Rev. Charles G. Finney was pub
licly recognized and installed as pastor, by
the newly formed "Association of New
York city" actinga as an ecclesiastical coun-
Gil. MIR Phelps made the Introductory
prayer, Mr. Mann preached, Mr. Leavi!
made the installing prayer MIR Martyr
charged the minister, and sNlr Leavltt, the
people. An immense assembly crowded
the house, and attended with apparent in
tercst upon the exercises.
This house is Just 100 feet square, and is
supposed TO be the largest protestant house
ofworship in the country. 1t extends from
Anthony street to Catharine Lane, and has
an entrance on each street. Although re-
moved hundred feet back from the line
of Broadway, yet by taking out the first
foo of house, broad and pleasant en-
trance is afforded on that side, so that the
cgress is easy and rapid--a point Of great
importance, not always sufficiently attend
ed to in the construction of public edifices.
The internal arrangement is admirably
contrived; the galleries and ceiling are
low the seats comfortable; the sound
good. The gallery extends quite round the
house, descending on the back side to the
level Of the pulpit, thus forming fine or
chesiru. " Y. Evangelist.

"INCENDIARY PUBLICATIONS."

TIN L
The bill reported by Mr. Calhoun tc
prohibit the transmission by mail, of in
cendiary publications, coming up on the
question of engrossment,
Mr. Davis of Mass. opposed it, rs going
to change the whole policy which had
hitherto been pursued by the Government
1t transferred the whole power vested in
the general government by the constitution
into the hands of the Stat S. Independent
of this constitutional objection to it, he ar
guod that it was utterly inexpedient to
transfer such power, and if this precedent
was once established, the principle would
lead them further than they contemplate
BY and by State might say, they would
inhibt the introduction of political matter
of religious matter; of any thing III fact
whatever, and on the principle assumed,
that Congress was bound to carry out the
laws Of the State, they should do so. This
he was not prepared TO assent to. ltwould
even be impossible to define the limits as
to what ought to be deemed incendary
publications, and he instanccd the indict-
ment preferred in Alabama against Mr. Will
llams, as Il case in point, to show how light
the grounds were, upon which on subject
of this exciting character, state feelings
prompted the authorities to act. The bill
went TO place u control i'll the Post Office,
which amounted to complete espionage.
Whatever was put into it, or was delivered
out OF it, was made subject to the visitation
Of its agents, under heavy penalty. They
must in fact, exercise such scrutiny, or
else run the risk of the penalty imposed
lie hoped the subject would he reviewed
by the Senator from South Carolina, and
versed as he was in the constitutional pow
er5 of the government, that he would direct
his attention to this point, viz where could
he find that Congress had authority to vest
power over the Post Office indirectly in
the States, which was directly and express
ly granted to the General Government?
Mr. Calhoun remarked that he would be
prepared to meet the objections of the Sen
ator from Massachusetts, next day.
A correspondent of the Journal of Com
merce thus speaks of Mr. Cahoun's bill:
The great objection urged against Mr.
feature is, think its only recommended
ton for, if it were to be carried into effect
it would in effect, be law to authorize the
Postmasers to open and inspect all private
correspondence, which crime Mr. Calhoun
and Mr. White have lately laid to the charge
of the Post Office, in relation to their pri-
waite letters. Further, this law, if carried
into effect, would enable each Postmaster tc
examine and stop every treatise, tract oil
newspaper, Of a political, moral, religious OF
philosophical character, which the Post
MASTER in his wisdom, might deem to have
n tendency towards the excitement of an
instruction, or which might be considered
~ i
dcfnmatory of shareholders. In fact, such
law could not be enforced, without ar
essential alteration of our form of govern
ment, and an abandonment Of many of the
most important principles of our free nsti-
tutiops

SLAVERY FOREVER!

What will not republican despots do
The following is part of the constitution
submitted for the approval of Congress by
the Territory Of Arkansas, as a prelimna-
ry measure to its admission into the Fed
eral Union
"The General Assembly shall have no
power to pass laws for the emancipation
of slaves, without the consent of the own
ers. They shall have no power to prevent
emigrants to this State from bringing with
them such persons as are deemed slaves
by the laws of any one of the United
Sites. They shall have power to pass
laws to permit the owners of slaves TO G.
mancipate them, saving the rights of credi-
tors, and preventing them from becoming
apublic charge. They shall have power
to prevent slaves from being brought to
this State as merchandise, and also to oblige
the owners of slaves to treat them with
humanity"
And bill for the admission OF Arkansas,
with this article in her constitution into
this confederacy, has passed the Senate of
the United States, with the opposition only
of six members. Where is the spirit mot
of '76, that slumbered long ago. but of
1919? Then, when Missouri sought adj
mission into the Union as a slave state, the
citizens of Boston reused themselves. A
large meeting was holden in the State
House and several of our most distin.
glIished citizens--VM Daniel We6Ster at
their head-were appointed a committee
to demonstrate against such an addition to
this Federal Republic! They saw the
danger then Do they not see now? Yes
But it is the danger Of blasting their hope
of effectng the election of northern can
didate for tho Presinency-and therefore
they will consent that slavery shall be per-
petual-i. e. if human law or the will OF
southern Shareholders, eau make it so
In the United States Senate, the bill To
provide for the admission of the State OF
Arkansas into the Union, came up on its
third reading. Having been read third
time and the question being on its passage
Mr. Benton said few words about the
application from Arkansas having been put
into the hands of Senator from nom
sLarehoidiag State, while the Michigan APP
plicaton came through Senator from q
slaveholdng state. lie considered THIS a,
an illustration Of The decay Of the spirit o
GbOlitioniSm.
MIR Swift and Mr. Prentiss, (both from
Vermont,) briefly stated their objections tc
the form in which these new states hac
come to Congress for admission, and also
10 the clause in the constitution which
makes slavery perpetual in the new State
Mr. Buchanan aud MIR Morris advocated
the admission of the new State on lht
ground that they were entitled 10y theil
numbers to come here for admission, had {
right to frame their own constitution, anC
might prohibit or pcrpctuate slavery a
their pleasure.
Mr. Porter, in consequence of the irreg
ularity of the proceedings, declared that ht
could not vote for the bill
Mr. Ewing, ofOhio, thought the bill less
objectionable than that for the admission o.
Michigan, aud stated that he should vote
for il, as the precedent had been establish

According to accounts from Milan, the
rise in the price of silks is really eXtraordi-
nary. Within few days it has augmented
from twenty-five to thirty per cent, and the
finer qualities even to forty. Higher rates
still are expected, as the manufacturers o.
Lyons, Zurich and Germany cannot get
silk enough to execute the orders they have
received from New York.

EXTENSIVE BANK ROBBERY.

The most extensive Bank Robbery which
has occurred in New England within our
recollection, was pcrpetraied in this city,
upon the Merchants Bank between Satur-
day night last aud Monday morning. The
officers of that Institution left every thing
as they thought secure. Yesterday morning
when the Bank was opened, it was discov-
cred that the vault had been entered and
robbed of nearly ONE HUNDRED AND
SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, and n
package from Boston probably containing a
large amount, The rogues obtained ad-
mission by means of false. keys. As the
steamer Massachusetts left this city Sunday
afternoon, it is not improbable that the rob
bcrs were among the passengers.
The Merchants Bank does an immense
business, and receives upon deposite the
bills Of all the Banks in this State. This is
the reason why the robbers preferred it to
others, and why they were able to secure
so large an amount of current money. The
Bank it will be seen by the advertisement
oller.a reward OF $4,000 for the opprchen-
sion of the vill0ius.--Proui2encc Journal

but no lives lost. On Saturday night,
