been rather prematurely developed in the very re-
markable Circular, issued and signed by the princ-
pal merchants OF Penn Yam.
According 10 the information we have received,lt
appears that Mr.. Henry Bradley, very respectable
merchant In Penn Yam, and strict aboltonist (be-
ing now candidate for the State Senate,) was the
first agent of Lewis Tappen in his vast establish
ment. After a short time, Mr.. Bradley, having re-
ceIved promotion IN the movement, was succeeded
by Alvin Winans, young lawyer OF considerable
talent great shrewdness and strong ambition I'm
der the agency OF Mr. Winants the establishment
OF Mr.. Tappan in New York kept pace with its vast
and wonderful march throughout the country. The
character, standing, politics. and responsibility OF
all the merchants in Penn Yam carefully re-
ported and of the astounding effects of this sys
tenn, was the failure prosration of the following
merchant in Penn Yan which have all taken
place during the last year -

BILE and stable Another merchant of Penn Yam alu-
ded 10 IN the circular, whose name is Jones be-
ieve, came this city buy goods and to his aso
nishment he found every avenue of credit closed to
him, by some secret spell or influence beyond his
reach, although he was well known to possess ample
means He returned 10 Pen Van land on general in
vestgaton of the affair by the merchants there the

:, But this is not all the strange Developments of
this vast machine In December last year, a letter.
dated at Penn Yam, appeared in the New York
Herald, commenting the defective commercial
and credit system of Penn Yam, but mentioning no
names, and only describing a system of business
that has been common to almost every town in the
west. In addition to this, some allusion was made
IN the same letter to religious society, alleging
that II was prone to abolition. At the next term
OF the Court of Sessions of that county, this subject
was taken up, and although no individual was ever
alluded to or named the New York Herald was in
dcted for libelling the whole community of Penn
Yan-and also for charging religious society with
abolition, that being also considered by the Grand
Jury libel, according the law and gospel of that
region. We have since learned, that this most
strange, absurd, and unheard of Indictment, for
merely publishing general commentary ON the rar-
tcular defects and probable results of false system
OF trade, and also OF imputing abolition TO rel-
gious sociey-we have since learned that this Won
dsrful Indictment, procured by the secret opera
ton and secret agencies of the vast establishment
organised by Lewis Tappan in New York, to ope-
rate throughout the whole Union, and to make or
break men in It's advances to political, religious, or
commercial power. And there is every reason to
believe that this Indictment, so procured, was eff
ebted Tor the purpose of covering up the projects of
the abolition consprators, and to enable them TO
proceed unmolesed in their system of espionage
on the commerce of the country at large
We have heard of the Holy Ihqulsition in Spain
and other Catholic countries, but the new Abo.
ton lnquislton now organized in New York, which
produces as if by magic, failures, bankruptcy, nom
nations, indictments, far surpasses its predeces
sor as the light and knowledge of the present age
exceeds the darkest period of the middle ages
Such is only sample of The ambition, power, and
comprehensveness OF the Gbotionsts in this coun-
try. We have already seen the result of their open
political organization in Oho-but their secret ma
chinaions In trade, in religion in finance, in law,
in gratifying their avarce, ambition or vengeance
only be developed by such chance and accident
as have just exposed their operations in Penn Yam.
The same set of secret dark, midnight consprators,
are now in the field, operating night and day to ad-
vance their objects, and TO get possession of the
government, OF religion, of trade, of finance, of the
administration of justice-and TO erect. lin this free
land one of the most frightful iron despotisms that
ever crimsoned the world with the blood of human
victims. Their calculations are made, and in this
State the following shows the great increase of the
abolition votes in 1871 over $780,
