We lately recorded the death Of Deacon
John Whitman, of East Bridgewater, at
the advanced age of one hundred and Sc
ven. The editor of the Plymouth Rock in
speaking OF the death Of this venerable
man, says:
He was supposed to be the oldest man
in Massachusetts, and his whole life pre-
sents a striking illustration Of the effect of
temperance, morality, and industry. For
more than half Il century, intoxicating Ii
quor as a drink, has been banished from
his board; and his voice was heard pro-
mitigating the doctrine Of Total abstinence
when few could be found Of moral courage
sufficient to speak out upon the subject
He was practical agrlculturist, even az
ter he had completed his hundreth year.
And as exhibiting a life Of morality and
virtue, he has perhaps been unsurpassed
in the history of man."

SANTA ANA, THE MEXICANS, sc.

from notes by the Editor Of the N. Orleans Picay-
une,
s'SANTA ANA.-We must say that our
Opinions Of the man have materially,
changed for the better since his recent act
Of liberating the Texan prisoners. We
have always known that Santa Ana did
not authorize. and found it difficult to be-
lieve that he sanctioned the inhuman treat
mcnt to the Texan prisoners received from
the time they were captured until they
reached the PasSo del Norte. The fact o!
his claiming the prisoners, too, after arr-
we'd at the city of Mexico, can be overlook
ed if he can prove that their safe keeping
damandcd such a course; but nothing can
excuse his placing these men in the streets
and compelling them 10 work. Santa Ana
may offer in palIialion, that he HIM
self narrowly escaped with his life while
prisoner in Texas, that he was heavily
chained there, and that his men were com
PEELED to work upon the different fortifca-
tons and plantations in the neighborhood
of Victoria and Galveston; but all this does
not justify a retaliation SO severe, in fact
q retaliation Of any kind.
We believe that he is the only man fit
ted to govern the mass of the Mexican peo-
pie. The most popular man in Mexico
perhaps is Gomez Farias, and he is donbt-
less the most ultra. .thorough-going repu-
bican, as well as the most honest Of the
FcderalistS But he we'll knows that his
countrymen are not prepared for a govern
ment based upon his own liberal opinions
however readily they are disposed to sup
port him in any movement he may suggest.
He is too pure a man and loves his country
too we'll TO plunge it into anarchy and con-
fusion, and hesitates to raise a whirwind Of
revolution which designing men might
profit by, and he himself would never be
able to direct toward the general good.
On the other hand, Santa Ana is pecu-
liary we'll fitted to govern population
which his experience has taught him are
incapable Of clf-governmcnt-a popula-
ton he has dwelt among, mingled among,
and figured among until, 10 use a common
phrase, she knows them as well as if he
had raised Them" His general policy, too
albeit somewhat tinctured with ultra mon
archial notions, is as liberal as the state of
education in Mexico will allow, and if this
policy is carried out he Will raise Mexico
to higher eminence in the scale of nation
than any course the federal party can de-
wise. At the same time while we could
wish to see the plans Of the latter carried
out, we still cannot hope that they will be
successful until education is more univer-
sally disseminated.

The unity of God-one God in one per-

believe in three Gods. There are three
personages in Heaven-all equal in power

suppose from what ! heard, that Smith
makes it a point not to agree with any one
in regard to his religious opinions, and
adapts himself to the person with whom he
happens to be talking for the time being.

1t is certainly strange that this man OF or
binary ability, should exert such an influ-
ence as he does, and that converts are
focking into the miscaled Zion by hun
dreds. But so it is. The simple religion
Of Jesus is not sufficient, but men mus

GREAT MoRrALIrY.--During the first 6 months
of the present year, the mortality has been great in
several towns bordering upon both sides OF Con
necticut river in New Hampshire and Vermont
Up to the month of May there had been within
few miles of Haverhill Corner about one hundred
deaths, principally children. The disorder most
fatal has been Malignant putrd sore throat. Ora
dually has 1t extended to adults, and the disorder
is in almost all cases fatal when it falls from the
throat to the stomach and lungs The towns of
Bath and Lyman, situated on the New Hampshire
side of the river, directly above Haverhill, have en-
countered mortality TO an extent equal almost to
the destruction by the cholera in 1882 in some of
our cities. Lyman has a population of 1900, and
Bath 1000 souls. The number of deaths from the
first of February this time (short of six months)
has been sixty in Bath, making at the rae of one
death per year in every fourteen inhabitants Six
persons are said to have laid uninterred corpscs
the same day in Bath. An unusual mortality has
occurred among women.n childbed-no less than
thirteen persons in the same town since the fatal
fever first made its appearance. There were said
to be more of fever in Bath last week than
there had been at any previous time.

OF the capture Of the schr Yucataco, by

when they attacked the schooner with Sc

WONDERFUL FILTRATIoN.--An inven-
ton has been recently brought forward
which is calculated to have vast benef-
cal effect in fiItering and so purifying all
the water for domestic and other purposes
in the kingdom. Lord Brougham, with
many other eminent sarans. has been sur
prsed and delighted at the effects produced.
4 machine only five feet square has been
made to filter the enormous quantity Of
two millions five hundred thousand gallons
every twenty-four hours; and that two, so
thoroughly and eflectualIy, that water
charged with mud, animalcul@, and de-
composed vegetable matter has been pro-
duced as bright and pure. and sweet, as 1t
originally issued from the spring. The
merit of this most useful and valuable in
vention belongs to Russian merchant OF
the name of Sticky, and the water filtered
by 1t has been examined and certified by
Professor Phillips, the eminent chemist.

Of years ago, thus referred to the enter
prize and industry o.! the people of New

STATEN ISLAND.

Many persons have heard ofthis Island
yet have not seen it. tits probably one of
the handsomest that rears its head above
salt water, FOR its size. 1t is eighteen miles
long and five miles wide, and has on its sur
face some handsome houses in the United
States. New Brighton Tor its size and
uniformity Of buildings, is admitted by all
who have seen it TO stand uneQualed.
The private residences Of many worthy
citizens Of New York, stand in bold relief
amidst the sweet foliage OF the surrounding
trees. There is freshness about the Is
land which can only be appreciated by &C
tual observation.

At meeting Of the mechanics and Ia
boring men Of Philadelphia, at which there
were several thousand present, the follow
ing was among the resolutions passed:
"ReSolred, That the present crisis in
our affairs is mainly to be attributed to the
infamous paper money system, which in
an evil day was fastened on our free institu-
tons, and which has ever since been used
by those connected with it, to defraud US
of our just dues; system which, by ex-
pansion at one time, raises us to false
and hollow prosperity, and by contraction
at another, plungcs US into real ruin; a
system which experience has demonstrated
destroys the equal rights of man, Icorrups
our courts and our Legislature, and creates
a spurious aris!ocracy of bankers, brokers
and spectators who eat out the portion of
the land and leave restitution and want as
the portion Of the mechanic and laborer."

The Madisonian of Monday morning
says:-We hear variety of speculatlons
and conj6cturcs as TO the course that the
majority in congress is likely 10 pursue
upon the subject Of IA Tariff OF duties.
One rumor is, that they will adjourn with
out doing anything, and for c!ecboneering
purposes solely, will seek to cast censure
on the President for the failure to. pass a
Revenue bill This we should infer most
likely to be the course contemplated, Jnd-
ging from what fell from the lips Of Mr..
Adams, who is now the Wing party Of the
House. In other words, Constitution is to
be trampled upon for the purpose OF carry
ing out The heading process. The country
is TO be left to take care Of itself, as it best
may, because the President will not consent
to crafty and confirm the attempted bargain
between Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Clay-of Tar
IF for the North and Distribution for the
West. It's only change ofterms. For
merry, it was High Tariff and Internal
