backward instead Of forwards, and every
time the unfortunate gentleman steps for

READuNG.-" Reading" says Tessain, in his
letters to the prince of Sweden, g is of uni.
versal advantage. In perusing the writings
OF sensible men, we have frequent opportu-
mites OF examining our own hearts, and, by
that means, Of attaining a more certain knowl,
edge OF ourselves, for we find that we are more,
sensibly touched with incidents, or reAec-
tions, Of a certain nature; and on the contra
ry, thai we pass over others without the least
emotion" Thus it is easy to discover which
OF our passions predominant; and which, con.
:sequently, require the most attention. We
learn to love virtue, and to shun vice. By
reading we also learn to Judge of the differ
ent style of various authors, and insensibly
improve our own. If we happen to be blest
with a strong memory, we not only recoIlect
frequent lessons, and examples for our own
conduct but have many opportunities Of in
structing those with whom we converts
And if our memories are not the most extra
ordinary, il is very certain that reading will,
at least by degrees, improve our taste, Under
standing, and our elocution.

DISTRESSING OccURRENcE.-A most distress
ing accident, resulting from the careless dis
position OF firearms, occurred on board the
steamboat Monongahela, on her passage up
the Ohio, when near Galiopolis, on the eve
ming of the Oath inst. From a statement in
the Journal of that place it appears, that,
one of the passengers had loaded his gun for
the purpose of Shooting ducks, but having no
opportunity to discharge it, he rolled it up in
the edge of a blanket in his berth, and there
left it unknown to any person. Subsequent
ly another person had laid down in the berth
where the gun was placed, and in changing
his position. thereby stirring the blanket, the
gun went off, and the ball with which it was
charged passed through the head of a passen.

Who are tho true Patriots!

George Washington was opposed to paper
money. The Harrison wings denounce
every man who is in favor Of the principle
of Washington, and advocate 4 reform OF
our Banking system. George Washington
signed the first bill ever passed for the safe
keeping of tie public revenues, and for dis
bursting them. 1t was a sub-treasury bill;
and, like the present law signed by Mr..
VAN buren,, it contemplated a separation OF
the public money from Bank speculltions.
This was W~ashington's plan; but the lam
iltonians, the %reign-of terror-men, got up the
idea Of banking and specializing on the taxes
of the people; and the banks, who received
their profits in this system, now wish to put
Mr.. Van Buren, out of office, because he op-
poses the continuation of a practice fraught
with so much corruption, abuse and oppres-
sion TO the people. Hence the great n
fractions of the Banks, to bring suffering up
on the people, and force them, by distress
and panic, to sell their birihright for amessof
pottage, that is, sell their liberties for higher

The last Fayettc papers come to US filled
with n correspondence between General
Clark, and C. F. Jackson, Esl., the Cashier
Of the Branch Bank. 1t grew out of an ar
ticle published in the Boonslick Democrat.
over the signature of Anti. Fraud; charging
the wing candidate for Governor with advi-
sing Col. Birch to have Democratic tickets
printed with his name rs Governor upon
them, for some of the upper Counties. The
article contained some very severe structures
upon the Generals course, which induced
him to demand the name of the author of the
editor of the Democrat. Mr.. Jackson was
given up as the author; a correspondence
ensued, which resulted in a challenge from
Clark, which was accepted by Mr.. Jackson.
DR.. SOFT, as the friend OF Mr.. j.. proposed to
fight with rifles at 20 PAGES, and fixed upon
some spot near Fayette, as the place of NEE
ting. Mr.. Leonard in behalf of Genl. Clark,
protested against the place, fixed upon as be-
ing unusual, and without precedent, at the
same time that it would subject both princi-
pals and friends to inconvenience and penal
ties, that might be avoided by a meeting else
where. DIR. Scott, however, would consent
to no alteration in the place OF melting
