Wings have gained in numbers, while their
opponents have succeeded, by a less majority

lish gronnd?- Deiaioare Journal.
We published (by request) in our paper of
the 9th ult. from a Thomsonian print in
Ohio, an article purporting to be a review Of
Dr.Turncr's statement in relation to the death
OF Capt. Wise. We did not notice particu-
larly at the time that the article contained
any personal abuse towards DR.. Turner
(whose character, with all who know him,
both as professional man and a gentleman,
is far beyond the reach of any such attempt
to injure him }-f we had it would not have
been inserted, as we would always wish to
avoid controversies Of this nature. But the
attention Of DR.. r. having been called to the
article alluded to, he has thought proper to
make The following brief reply, which we
copy from yesterdays Rhode Island Ropub-
lican.
That would be a miserable state Of society,
indeed, IN any community. which required its
members, ofany ordinary degree Of respecta bty,
TO notice such wilfully erroneous and scandalous
statements, us some Of the inferior abet,ors OF
quackery, in the guse Of Tbomsonism, have
caused to be published in the newspapers Of this
and other towns; including much low. scurrous,
personal abuse Of the Physician, (or the late, un-
fortunate Capt. Wise,) who, in the performance
Of an incumbent duty, made plain candid state
ment Of the important circumstances Of his case
and treatment, rs far as within his know ledge.
Tor the satisfaction Of the friends of Justice and
humanity. Such happily j. not the state of So
cieiy in this rational aud enlightened part Of our
country.
II II is sufficient for the writer TO know that this
vulgar, unauthorized abuse Of him meets the re D.
rotation Of The respectable portion of its citizens,
ns unquali6edIy rs il does his own perfect con-
tempt
i 1t has been the well intended, and, perhaps.
judiciOus 6dvce, OF some Of his friends, not TO
notice at all, these miserable, low attempts to in
jure him and impose upon the public. Still, all
must readily acknowledge, that the reptile that
would bite, or the insect that would sting. should
be uncersmoniously trodden upon, or roughly
brushed away and no farther regarded.

SAMMY WoopwoRTH.--On Sunday afternoon /
took walk in Broadway. Crossing Chambers
street on the west side, | spied an old gentleman,
with cane in his hand crossing along The edge Of
the footwalk, lmping, and seeming in pain at every
STEP On approaching him ! recognized the textures
of Samuel Woodwork, the poet, well known IN this
city as a worthy and industrious man, who has
struggled for years with large family to bring up
and support He is now affected with the palsy and
paralysis and is to all intenis and purposes, OBJ
ject worthy Of that benevolence which warns to-
wards the sons Of genus.
was preparing to 90 TO Saratoga the other day-a
journey that would cost me $50. Since i have
seen poor Sammy Woodwork, and recall the che
quered history of his life am not but will en-
JOY the spending of the so better by beginning sub
scrpon with II for the bencfi, of the broken down
son of song. Sclishness is a species of wisdom
and IL we get moro satisfaction out Of $50 in one
way than another, il is proper make the best bar
gain we can.
Poor Sammy woodworlhl Well do we remember
him. He is the author Of numerous poetic and drs-
matte illusions the profits and glory of which others
are now enjoying. Will not some of these come for
ward and help him out of his dificultiesf

these stages were SIX cents each. In the FALL rise
took place of two cents in consequence Of the high

TnE SEAMsTREssEs ONCE NeRE.-Poor souls! they
are in misfortune again. A portion of these our ia
voiites havirg under the advice of small lawyers and
ex-parsons, qaarrelled and separated from the main
hive, have, of course lost all the honey, and accord
lngly call meeting Thursday evening IN Chatham
street church to get little more.
We are glad 10 hear this. We trust and hope they
may succeed in their objects As an evidence that
what we say is not mere compliment, we now state
TO Mrs Lewis, the worthy Presiden'css, that we
shall put down her list, $40 in specie, under the
express stipulation, however, that neither Henry M.
Western Esq, nor the ex-Rev. William X. Hoyt, be
members of the Finance Committee for the dsburs-
ing of their collections. We have the highest opin-
ion Of the personal integrity of both these excellent
gentlemen, but some how other, could not feel
easy were we to subscribe $40 my ladies' If
these worthy eentlemen happened TO be on the COM
mittee for making the expenditures. Towards COM
mittee of the ladies' tbemsclves-left to their good
sense and good fcengs-we have the fullest conf
dcnce Not so towards old breeches.
If Mrs. Lewis, therefore, will call upon us, or lei,
me know where can send my subscription, | shall
cheerfully pay the money, under the condition
referred io-that is say that our worthy friends,
Messrs. Western and Hoyt be not on the Finance
COMMITTEE And not only so, but we shall endeavor
to stir up if possible the charitable to attend their
meeting on Thursday night. They have invited the
Hon f. A. Tallmadge TO plead their cause before the
humane-and better, they "cosld not have picked
cut of ten thousand" lie will not back out or betoo
much engaged, as Hugh Maxwell, Esq was on . for
mer occasion
We trust every thing will yet 90 well with Mrs.
Lewis and her associate ladies' We love them
almost afFec,ionaely and kindly do we love them.
Yet love does not 60 far as to die for them
but we will de what lie almost as good-we will write
for thempray for them-lve for them, and subscribe
$40 in specie for Them provided Messrs. Western and
Hoyt are not on the committee.
