not sensible that the best part Of your

wasting life away without knowing
what life is; that you are voluntarily

you are every thing that's wretched
and poor, and pitiable. Moral pru-

every appearance Of evil should al

The term bachelor supposes all kinds Of
enormities and breaches Of the peace.
Who will pull down, BARRIERS poles;an

same time know where to look for a
remedy? Rowdy bachelors. Who
pull up corn steal apples? Who smash
champaign glasses, break windows and
convert the fragments Of their crazy
feasts into missiles to throw at the SER
wants? Drunken bachelors. Who make
rows in the theatre? Night ranging
bachelors. Who keep their sisters in
tears, and break their mothers hearts
once day, week days, and twice on
every sabbath, the year through Who
break their tailors, and make their ia
theirs desperate? Wild. deceives their
trusting woman, who defends suits for
breach Of promise, VINO compound felo-

Whose allowance is wasted in smart
money, and whose wages is sinl In
short who is utterly gone astray, and
desperately wicked? WhyBAcHELoRs.
Mind we do not say all bachelors, but
him who wishes not thus to be classed,
come OUT from among them. We were
never in favor of too extensive credit
but some people, as the world is artifi-

and not the use oft that plays the mis-

must not be bachelor. Who'll trust
them; you might as well fasten your

The compliment of the gentleman to Irish valor

of the seditious Germans at New York for illus
tration. protest against the remarks OF my OPP
ponent, because we should place more reliance In
our own countrymen, than in foreigners, bound to
our soil only by ties of interest," seldom by those
OF the heart-because it is an insult TO the native
population, and by placing arms in the hands OF
mercenary and brutal aliens, the Executive has II
in his power to create a standing army, and send
to foreign countries for such mercenares, IN ORDER
when it suits his will, that he may invade the con-
stitution and the laws of the land. Reflect, Mr..
Marylander, on the Latin adiges, "Experentia
docet'' and "Incavendo tutus," and let not your
partialities to '.old Ireland" Germany, the Hot
tentots, or the Tartars get the better of the sound
sense and judgment, which perceive from your
thoughts and style are salient features of ycar
mind.
AS regards the finale, that we should encourage
the occupation Of our soil by foreigners tell the
gentleman, in the name of the Association, that
we have no objection to reputable, honest and IN
dustrious foreigners settling among us. 1t is a
gainst their sharing, when unprepared, in our po-

that on Sunday, the 26th inst. about o'clock in
the afternoon, they went on shore on the Kentish
hnock.-Ihey Immediately hoisted their colors,
and fired signal guns for assistance, and the same
was observed by the schooner Robert, Captain
Hunter, of South Shields, who bore down as near
as possible, with view of rendering aid. The
mate and four seamen put off from the ship
and boarded the schooner, requesting the captain
to lay by the ship, and keep light up, which
was done. The wind and sea having greatly in
creased, rendered it impossible for the boat to re-
turn to the ship: night and gale coming on, the
captain OF the Robert, unable to remain longer by
the ship, stood off for the night. AT daylight
next morning, (Monday, the schooner showed her
colors, which were seen by the Ramsqate lugper.
the Ranger, cruizing on the bank Of the Goodwin.
when they, (the mate and four seamen,) were put
on board the lugger, and at the particular request
OF the mate OF the ship, they proceeded to the
Knock Sand, if possible to regain their vessel.
They could not discover any vessel. They then

them that they had passed the broadside of large
