The DIvoRcE--PRosPEcT AHEAD.-This
measure, since it has become to be under
stood by the People of the South, is grow
ing in popularity as rapidly as MIR. Van
Buren, has declined in the last few months.
Stripped of the hideous habiliments of a
TREASURY BANK, thrown around it by pol
iticians to humbug the People, the South
ern People see in it the only means of re-
demption from that degrading system Of
commercial slavery TO the Northern
States, which has so long bound down their
energies--they are convinced that the sep
araton of Government from the Banks
will remove that moheyed spell that has
drawn to the North the capital and wealth
Of the South. We are pleased to learn
that at the Convention Of Merchants, re-
Gently held at Augusta, the leading men
of the South came out openly in favor Of
the measure-all the leading men of Geor-
gia, Of all parties, go for it, and most Of
them from South Cnrolina, the assertion
Of Wing papers to the contrary, notwith-
standing. IT is the only means of re-
demption for the South; and thorough
examination of all its features will con-
vince any candid nam Of the fact.

An interesting case was tried on Mon
day last, in the District Court Of Pennsyl-
vania, in which the plaintiff, a passenger
in one Of the cars ofthe Westchester Rail
Road Company, brought suit against that
corporation for damages for an injury re-
ceived while travelling on the road. It
appeared in evidence that the driver, af-
ter changing horses urged them to great
speed, and when demonstrated with by the
passengers, applied the brake with SO
much power as to check the car suddenly
and throw the plaintiff from the top Of the
car to the earth; tearing off one Of his
fingers while endeavoring to hold on, He
was for six months unable to attend to Blu.

Of the plaintiff for three thousand five hun

He that fears the Lord ana Heaven and

that walks watchfuly in the denial Of him

wears surplice or wears none; whether
he kneels at the communion, or for con
science sake stands or sits--he hath the
life Of religion IN him; and that life acts
in him, and will conform his soul TO the
image Of his Saviour, and go along with
him to eternity, Notwithstanding his prac-
tice of things Indifferent. On the other
side, if man fears not the eternal God,
commits sin with presumption, can drink
to excess, lie, swear, vainly or falsely,
loosely break his promises man,
although he cry down Bishop, or cry down
Presbytery; although he be re-baptized

Newspaper PubiSherS.-The editor of
the Wheeling Times has the following Just
and feeling remarks upon the subject Of
newspaper publishing, which certainly
contains more truth than poetry
"There is a mania for publishing news
papers in this world of ours, that is more
fatal than the small pox, the cholera or
the yellow fever. Ninety in hundred
meet their destruction by it; yet as fast as
one dies another takes his place, getsin-
noculated with the writing fever, thinks of
gold and glory, turns newspaper publish
er, drags on worthless life, half fed, half
clothed, tolls day and night, heart-sick and
weary; the public slave, yet welding an
engine which, properly restricted, would
move the world, or make its inhabitants
trembIe.
"The press cannot be free or useful
while it is trammelled with poverty and
logged with duns. So situated, it will, it
must be, at the beck Of every whipper-
snapper who has money enough to keep
the printers soul and body together
no otdtC VI tnlhSo VIII LOl uO' we
move that the printers in the United States
divide off in halves, and Jef' to see which
shall go to digging bitches or picking stone
coal for living. II would improve the
condition of both halves nightly. We
look upon every new paper that is started,
very much as we do upon every new MUIR
der that is committed. We think there is
another man lost to every thing useful,
lost to himself, and lost to the world, and
doomed to a purgatory from which salt
cannot save him. We think that the last
days of that man will be worse than the
irst!--but all must live and learn. We
have become little hardened to the busil
ness, but if we had life to go over against
we should rather adopt the trade Of fish
ing for minnows with pin hook, than that
Of publishing a paper in the U. States"

MARRIAGE.

Marriage is Of divine origin Ii was in
stituted by the all-wise Deity in Paradise
for the benefit Of man; ii has conduced more
to the happiness of the human family,
than any institution with which their ben
efactor has been pleased to favor them.
1t was not only recommended by the SUI
preme ruler Of the Universe, TO the patri@
archs and those of olden times; but we find
that it was practiced in every age and
country, by every people, learned or IL
lterate, noble or ignoble. Marriage was
adorned with the presence of the blessed
Saviour of men and beautified and honor
ed with the first miracle.
The institution of marriage has shed its
benign influence throughout every chris
tian, enlightened and civilized community.
By it families are held together by the
most endearing ties, and individuals are
enabled to trace back their ancestry in ma
ny instances, TO remote generations. If
this institution did not exist the sacred
and blessed relations of connubial happi-
ness would not be known. The kindred
ties Of brothers, sisters uncle aunt; cous-
in and even parent and child if known at
all would be considered as unimportant
and unendearing.
If there is one sentiment Of the human
heart, Of a more refined and exalted ma
ture than another, it is that holy and sa-
cred union, which exists between man and
wife. If there is one situation in which
exists uninterrupted Happiness, and pure,
unsullied JOY it is in the bliss arising from
conjugal love and rural life.
1t is woman that gives a polish to the
manners Of man and allures them to do
nestle life, the kind protectress Of his

to the arrangement Of the monied opera

night an, event took place, at the shop of

which had nearly been attended with ira.

ment, had, il appears, for along period
received visits from the gentleman in ques-
ton She either had, or concluded she
had, reason for believing, that the con-
summation would be natrimony. Sud
denly however, and, as The lady AYERS,
without any reason assigned, the gentle-
wand discontinued his visits. She repeat
edly called at his shop and requested to
see him, but either by accident or design,
fhSrwislles in this respect were frustrated.
ifthe shop-boy may be believed, she moro.
than once betrayed signs ofyiolent agita-
ton, and exhibited a pair Of pistols. Last
Monday fortnight she called at the shop
where she found the gentleman. She as
ked him if he intended to call at her house.
He said, no, he did not intend to call any
more. Atthat moment, she placed her
hand in her pocket, and he heard the click
Of a pistol lock. The sound was that offs
placing the weapon on full cock. Shes
drew the pistol from her pocket, and he
rushed towards her and seizedit with the
intention Of disarming her. 4 struggle
ensued, during which the pistol went off,
The ball entered the young mans Ieg just
above the knee, and shattered thef bone in
the most dreadful manner. Shaiimmedis
ately threw away another pistol and rush
ed from the shop. The young man took
up the pistol which she had thrown away,
and on examining 1t, found it TO be loaded
with ball. An application was made TO
the magistrates last week for summons
against the lady, and the case was heard
on Friday. The gentleman is in very
precarious state, and was'so Ill from the
effects of his wound that 1t was found expN
dent TO have the case heard in the office
Of the magistrates clerks. The above
facts were stated, and the young woman
was bound over to keepthe peace fortwelye
months = London paper.

CANADIAN AFFAIRs.---We understand
thhat dispositions were yesterday made in
this city, that agents of the insurgents in
Canada, we're openly recruiting IN Bur
lington and other places in Vermont, and,
sending into Canada, men and munitions
of war, for the use ofthose in arms against
the government. These dispositions were
forwardedto Englaudby yesterdays pack
ct, and to the British minister at Washing
ton, and win doubtless be the cause Of an
immediate demand upon our executive to
put an end to such proceedings ia future.
Our fellow-citizeps, and the public press
throughout the United States, cannot be
too cautious how they encourage Or couu-
tenance any proceedings which may BY
possibility embroil Us with England, or
which may have tendency to weaken the
bond Of amity and II interest BY which
the two countries are now so closely
united. -- Courier and Ea4.

FEMALE TRIUMPH-THE CROWN OF LOVE.
The accession of the Queen Victoria
the presence Of young and lovely fe-
male sovereign upon the British throne,
rs eminently calculated to give new tone
to the character and manners of British
ety.-Female influence, which has
hitherto been more of a poetical fiction, is
not likelyto become reality, and we hear
Nof numerous projects on foot to bring the
female character into that prominent pos
Hon which 1t so we'll deserves to occupy,
out from which it has been excluded by
the ingenuity Of the arrogant and power
iul SEX One of the most charming of
these projects, and which cannot fail to be
attended with the brightest and most ex-
hllleratlng circumstances, is female or
der'of knighthood, to be called the Cro,vn
Of Lone. The preparations are SO far
completed as to enable us to offer the fol-
lowing particulars TO our readers The
CHIEF object OF this most noble order is
exultation of female virtue, and the ex-
tension Of female influence. Other OBJ
lects are the general improvement ofman-
ners the better regulation of society, and
diffusion of tone Of grace and cultiva-
ton throughout all classes in the empire.
The honorable state Of matrimony, and
4 the probational condition of celihacy. are
also amongst the chief cares of the new
institution.

peace, and her heart is the home of genu-
inc affection und paradisical love-
Without woman this world would be a
mere bank--a dreary waste, without one
single object to induce poor forlorn man
to even wish a protracted stay. A com
munity without woman would appear like
a armament without stars, rayess and un-
adorned. W.
The well-known comIoI6 of a married
life are too visable, to require single
proof Of its superiority over Estate ofceli-
bacy. Thousands delay the nuptial hour
till late period Of life, fearful Of rushing
prematurely into the bonds of wedlock
while others are found at kyman's holy al
tar in the very morn or may of life
The former gather only the dried wither-
ed leaves of matrimonial love, but the lat
ter enjoy its roses and tastes its ambrosial
sweets.
The boosted liberty Of state of nature
exists only in state Of solitude. In every
kind and degree of union and intercourse
with his species, it is possible that the in
divldual may be augmented by the very
laws which restrain it because he may
gain more from the limitation of other
mems freedom than he suffers by the d.
minuton of his own. Natural liberty is
the right ola common upon waste; civil
liberty is the safe, exclusive, unmolested
enjoyment of cultivated enclosure.
