publication, such as proposed, containing ap.
proved discourses on doctrinal and practical sub
subjects, would be found both acceptible and
useful to the religious public. And as the

work 60 into effect, as it can interfere in no way
with any of our religious newspapers, we shall
expect to see it circulate freely through the
Southern States. 1t will be commenced as soon
as a sufficient number of subscribers shall be OBJ.
tanned, and continued as long as circumstances
shall require. Twelve numbers will make q
volume, which may be conveniently bound and
preserved.

PROSPECT OF WAR ON OUR
FRONTIER.

We have cOnvcrsed with gentleman
jusl arrived in the city from Independence,
Jackson Co. Mo. We learn from him
that great excitement was prevailing a.
mong the citizens Of that quarter, who
were expecting an attack from the Usage
Indians. They had sent several lhreatning
messages ia the frontier inhabitants aud
had already committed some depredaIiuuS
on their property; having stolen several
hogs. &c. and repuriS say 5, me negroes
Application had been made TO the Governor
for troops, and orders had been issued by
the secretary Of state, Ohe Gov. being alb
sent at the time application was made) In
Gen. Lucas 10 raise Instantly 600 men
from his division which we believe, consists
OF Jackson, Lafayette and Van Buren,
counties. The militia Of the several coun-
ties were to meet on Sunday last, to raise
the number of troops ordered by the comm
ander of The division. We are also inl0r..
med that Gen. Atkinson had an interview
with the Governor en- this subject and il
is probable that The condition nl affairs in
that quarter will require the immediate per-
Sonal attention ofhimsell and Gen. Gaines.
The OSages say they can bring one thou-
sand warriors into the field, and lat they
have no fear OF the consequences OF the war.
Our informant has not learnt the particrlar
grievance Of which they complain. We
shall wait with anxiety for further inielli-

The President and his Loco t'oc0 Mes
Sage.-Nartin is something in !he situation
Of the mschcvous monkey, who, observing
that one of the men look down pcwder-
ho.G occasionally, like the ola General, and
threw little powder in the fire, to make
blaze and Brighten the maids, watched an
opportunity to seize the horn, and, Jumping
on the kitchen crane, empiied the whole on
the smouldering ashes. The consequence
was, he was blown up the chimney. He
went up sleek, well-conditioned looking
monkey-he came down, charred, burnt,
and blackened locking niger, and, after
hiding himselriur several days tike Martin,
preparing his loco iOco message, and the
Sub-treasury scheTe,) starvation forced him
10 come home for something 10 eat, like our
precious President, begging Congress 10 let
him issue shin plasters. The story says,
the monkey never forgot his exploit with
the powder horn and, 10 presenlitat him,
was at all times To make him run, with
most horrible chaltering. And so we think
that Martin will long have cause TO rue his
Loco Foco Message, which has set fire 10
tine whole train, and blown him up The
chimney and all we have to 10, is, To pre-
sent il at him, at every election, aud show
what miserable locking animal lie has
made of hmsell.-.N Y. Mere. .4dc.

o. The editors Of the Patriot, ever alert to catch
at straw to save from sinking, sometimes catch at
even less than straw. Such is their article on the
subject of the election of speaker, representing the
wings as "Wging on" or hurrying the decision Of
mat question Now the editors know, or, if they do
not every schooboy in the village conversant with
the proceedings of the Legislature for two years
past docs know, that to be in readiness for the coun
ty nominations and conventions, on Friday and Sat
urday, as modern practice requires, it is necessary
that The choice of speaker be made on Thursday
Besides the necessity of the thing the public good,
and the despatch of business requires it. As to the
humbugery about the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" as
applied to the Speaker by the very decent editors of
the Patriot 1t is in perfect keeping with the gener-
al course thus to insult the General Assembly, by
false and slanderous attacks upon its presiding and
other officers, who do not happen to subscribe to
their political creed. Every intelligent man in the
community, knows that the ephet Of "Bank .lnonop-
olIss," applies with equal force to one party as TO
another in Vermont and with propriety to none -
The chariering Of Banks, in Vermont, has never
been made political question; and for the honor
and the welfare of the State, we trust it never will
be made mere question of political expediency.-
The folly of that "experiment" has been sufficient
iy tested by the general government and its bitter
fruits pretty severely realized by the people.

following remarkable statements.

the public money in his hands IN speculation for his
private account, aud when the treasurer's draft is
presented 10 him for payment drawn on that money,
he is unable pay il, and The same is consequently
protested "
And again-''I is a matter of public notoriety
that the present system of rigid supervision eNer-
csed over the public receivers, requiring them to
deposile in bank monthly The mohey they may have
received cannot be enforced many pW and do
disregard The regulations, and great d0aica.
