Although we hear constant complaints Of


Although we hear constant complaints Of
the hard times, yet every article of consump-
ton in the mines continues to command the
highest price. Flour is from $l2 to SIS per
Dbl, Bacon from 10 to 12 cents per pound,
Corn ST SO per bushel, and all other articles
in proportion. Labor is from $40 to $25 per
month and boarded, and yet not emo ugh can be
had. Almost daily do we hear it said that
works calculated to benefit those employing &
the country, are stopped for the want Of hands.
On the 4th Of July, the Democrats Of Mas
sachusetts, to the number of about 1000, met
on Bunker Hill, to make declaration of prin-
ciples, at which the Hon. Alexander H. Ev-
erett, made speech full of worm wood and
gall to the Wings, and for which some of them
are out upon him. Resolutions were adopted
expressive Of the sense Of the meeting, appro-
wing the measures of the present administra-
ton in requiring specie for all dues.
In our columns to-day will be found copy
ola letter from gentleman to his friend in the
|
ton of our editorial brethren and readers in the
east, confident that the publication of such
facts must induce some of those who are there
suffering, to better their prospects by emigra-
ton. The writer is well acquainted with the
affairs of our country, and we think it fully
merits all that he has said in favor of it. That
this country possesses advantages over that,
for laboring men, every one whoh has any knowl-
} edge of both countries will at once admit.

in appearance, but poor, wishes to marry a
5 man of from 25 to IS years age, gifted with a
moderate portion of good sense, being of a re-

t siderable fortune" The name, residence, &c.

t tons, and addressed IN. D." through the

their immediate representatives, and the result Of

Iby increasing the strength of corps of Report
ers the next fall and winter Sessions The Fall
Session will be looked to by the country to settle
all that has been unsettled by the overthrow of the
systems OF Deposits as established by Congress
tho overthrow of tho currency established by the

revenue, both as means Of adequate supply for
present demands, the maintenance of manufactures
and tho regulation Of commerce. Every thing of
pecuniary interest to the government aud the ma
ton will be involved in the discussions of the next
Congress; and ii was because the President would
not have those all-mportant subjects left Execu-
tive discretion moment beyond the. zine when
full Congress could BIO summoned, that the Septem

SO far as we have been able TO observe his coGTse,
seems to he honest and patriotic in his views and

reply to complimentary toasis on the occasion +,
he made an address, which closes in the follow

there are many plans-and some wild enough.

THE CHRISTIAN RELIGIoN.-If we would
learn the value of this TO the world, let us travel
into countries where the Bible is not known
Go then into heather country no matter in what
direction, or what age of the world, and you will
find no equality between the sexes Man is sron-
ger than the woman, and therefore he has made
her his slave, the minister of his pleasure Com
partnership between husband and wife is un-
known and the conneXion dissolved mt the merest
caprice of the former. You will find but little
parental or fial affection. The mother neglects,
or exposes or actually destroys her own child
the child grows up to beat its mother father,
and to neglect them in their old age, and finally
leaves them to perish, INTENDED and unmonrned.
You will find no such thing as honesty truth,
rarely indeed, in their dealings with one anoth
er. Supreme selfshness, without the least re-
gard eto others, regulates the conduct of fevery
individual. Legal justice is thing unknown
mercy an attribute seldom exercised. You will
find none Of those institutions, which in Chris
tendon, adorn human nature, and serve to alle
viate SO many of its woes. When You have trav-
elled beyond the reach OF the Bible, you will find
no rounding Hospital,' no 'Lhnatic Asylum
no House OF Refuge, you will look in vain for
the Orphan House, the Sailors Snug Harbor,'
or Retreat for the blind for the deaf or the
poor. Institutions like these never TO be
found, except by the side of temples erected to
the God of the Bible.
What shall we say, then, to those men, who,
incendiary like, are seeking to destroy the infu
ence of the Christian religion, and who would
tan persuade us to burn up our Bibles and pull
down our Churches? What else shall we call
them than enemies OF themselves and their kind
What would these men have? Even were there
no hereafter-even though existence terminated
at death-though the Bible were a lie, or fable,
this life dream and the next a fancied vision
we say even though the enemies were, capable
OF proving all this to demonstration, what would
De gained to the human race by doing so?
questions which inf
1ree thinkers of the age dare not ask themselves ;
or they ask dare not answer them for then
would they stand selfconvcted of conspiring
against the good order, the peace, and happiness
OF society. Deluded men why seek to accom-
push wna,, at best could only tend to embiIter
the short-ilVed Joys of earth; but which, if you
would listen to the voice of reason and con-
science, they would tell you would send man
hopeless to the grave, and beyond that shut him
up in the prison of despair.

SINGULAR ADVENTURE The Ph'ladel phia
Public Ledger of yesterday contains the follow
ing The packet ship Washington, which re-
Gently arrived from Calcutta had on board one of
the largest Anacondas ever imported into this
country. The animal was enclosed in large
box, and for one hundred and thirty days had
not partaken Of food or drink. With a view 10
CRAFTY one of the Custom House Officers, the
Captain proceeded with him into the nod OF the
vessel, and with on axe removed the top Of the
box in which the reptile was incarcerated, She
was coiled in corrugated folds around her eggs,
which were evidently undergoing the process OF
Matching. Not content with the spectacle thus
presented, they must needs know how many
ovIParous articles were couched under the ami
NAL, and the handle Of the was used TO re-
move part of her body from the eggs. SO soon
as the attempt was made the Anacon la became
furious, and, quick as thought, darted Is gasping
jaws towards the Custom Houss funci n,Iary, cn-
closing his head, (which, by the bye, S not
small one) within the vortex. The ca puin, with
great presence of mind, thrust the a2e into the
mouth of the monster, in doing, narrowly
grazing the cheek of the officer, but saving him
from being swallowed. A portion Of ais ear cot
off, and an abrasion of the skin Of his dexter
jaw, saving the fright was the only damage sus
tained. The captain had his hand Identified
with fourteen impressions of the iangs of the
serpent, whichshe considers as fourteen substan-
tal reasons for the exercise OF more prudence ir
