MADAN1 DAnmMosf.-We regcet to see the
high wrought eulogies that are bestowed upon
Ibis woman, by some conductors Of skc press.
Her political views may b purely orthodox; but
she i clearly out Of their proper sphere, when
she mounts the rostyum TO discuss them. Be-
fore, she has acquired her distinction, not from
her notions Of Government, but frssn her anti
religious sentiments; and We think no patriot who
loves his country, can contribute to give such
sentiments force and weight, by exslting the in
dividual who inculcstes them. With Washing
ton, We think that sound morals cannot be pre-
served without the aid Of religion; and upon
rect morals depends the force Of all Law, order
and government. Licensionsness u opinion, is
an evi! against which he urged solemn war
ming 10 his country men; and those who wish 10
transmit the priceless heritage Of freedom un;m-
paired posterity, should 20 sedulously guard a.
gainss any and every corrupt tendency in the
morals or opinions Of the public.
Speaking Of this itinesant infidel and Locofoco
featuring in Cincinnati, the Republican of that
city, an Administration paper, says:
.'Thns il is that in6dclity does only en-.
deavor to identify itself with the great demo-
cratic party Of the country, hut is Iabouring to
nsurp its control and management II is an in
di.putabe but lamentable fact, that the late Sub
Treasury meeting, which Purported TO express
the sentiments Of Hamilton county ,cas principal
ly organized and managed By the fo1olcers IF a
ssroliis9 xnfdel Iecssrer. We mean no reflection
upon the Chairman or Wee Presidents of the
meeting, or . large portion Of those who par
ticipaied in the proceedings. They are not fol-
lowers Of Fanny Wright: but do contend that
the meeting, from beginning 10 end, was under
the principal management Of her follower, admir-
ers and eulogists."
HoPE DEFERRED "A rather annoying circum-
stance occurred some time since in England,
while amarriage ceremony was progressing, which
completely put a stop to the performance at a
most interesting part Of and shit the dsappont-
cd maiden and her anxious lover two different
WAYS, any thing but rejoicing II seems that the
young couple had gone separately to a church for
the purpose Of being made one. The ceremony
went on well enough until the minister came to
the words, ''with this ring thee wed; )" when tho
bride, essaying to take her glove off her maiden
hand for the last time, could effect it, Wheth-
it ogitation or heat or nervousness pres
Piratio0, the leather chung to her hand a man
ought TO do, and would not part company. The
bride blushed and pulled; the bridegroom (bold
MANY laughed outright; 30 did the father; 80 did
the mother; SO did all the spectators, except the
clergyma and he exclaimed, II did not come
here to be laughed ats" and shutting the book
left the ceremony half finished the bride half mar
ried, and - s-l0ve half of. We have tho salts
fashion add, however, for the informs ton Of all
who may sympathise with the disappointed fair
one, that she tried again the next day with much

INDIANA Coal TIELDs-We arc informed bv q
gentleman who has travelled extensively and ex-
amincd the West with great care, that the couo-
Gibson, Pike, Dubois, Martin, Davi., Knox. Green
Owen, Clay, Vigo, Sullivan, Putnam, Parke, Yer
million and Fountain, contain the richest and
most extensive beds Of bitiuminous coal in the u.
States. 1t ignites freely and burns with bril-
liant fame. Near the SUBMITS Of the highest
ridges it is found creeping out Of the earth, and
it may be mentioned, a fact worthy Of notice
that in boring for salt water to the depth Of SGT
feet in Lamasco City, and to the depth Of 500 feet
on the Big vermillion near Danvile, Illinois, the
miners report Mt both places, q number Of Stratas
Of coal. varying from six to eight feet thick.
The Wabash and Erie and Central Canals run
through these beds Of coal the distance Of 200
miles or more. The quantity Of coal to be found
on the borders Of the Indiana Canals 10 only to be
measured by . nations wants. The mines OF
coal are,and must be,a vast revenue to the State
and a source Of wealth and comfort to millions yet
unborn.
Should the State adopt bold and liberal poll
cy, extend the canals into the Ohio river by locks
so as to save reshipment, and to open a free com.
munication with our coal fields, SO that il may be
shipped to the southern and western market, mil
lions will DO added to the view Of our public
works, which they will not have should there be
distractions in the transit from the canals to the
| Ohio river.
| In England, the stock Of their canal running
through coal fields, sells from to 10 pei
cent. higher than that Of those running through
through sections Of tho kingdom solely aZricul
