rely upon her own energies for her defence.

most in the cause. Two plans were pro-
posed in the Legislature. The one was

by Congress, by which il was proposed TO

State above the age Of eighteen years, inlo

should serve one year, each class being

expense Of the State, and its estimated

other plan was TO rase six rsginenis.under

Temperance Pic Mics.

Temperance Pic Mics have become quite fash
ionabe in Boston, and other parts OF the Eastern
states. The Philadelphia and New York papers
have also come out strongly in their favor, and
urge upon the people to give them trial in a
suggestion which will no doubt be promptly acted
upon. Amusement and relaxation of some sort.
are absolutely necessary for the health and COM
fort OF the laboring and other classes of our cit-
ZenS and it should therefore be the object of the
philanthropic and pious, to devise and promote
such kinds as are innocent and harmless OF this
description Of amusements, we consider Temper
ance PIC Mics. They bring into close communion,
large numbers of the dwellers of towns and cities,
upon terms Of intimacy and equality. They ena.
0e them to enjoy the pure air of the country, with
all lis fresh and health-giving breezes. They
afford the means of agreeable recreation TO hun
dreds without. heretofore. the apprehension Of
intoxicaton. As long as they are properly con-
Quoted, and do not recur too often, they will be
found to be, not only source of pleasure to the
people, but also powerful auxiliaries to the cause
of Temperance.

We omitted to notice in our last, that William

Congress, from this District subject to nomina-

The Wayne County Herald.

Fhe attending to- which we gave that would
be-great man, john |. allen, of the WAYNE county
Herald, week before last, has made him turn. and
twist, and look in every direction for the north
point of the compass. 1t has, moreover, as the
old saying is: made him as cross as bear with
sore head. He asks US to "straigbten ourselves
out of the DIRT, and SsoeH into something like gen
aemen." We do not clearly comprehend the
genius meaning. II is true we know master John
to be perfect specimen of "sIceH j''z1but if he
would have US initiate the manner of his straight
eaiag himself up out of the Dirt after one Of his
punch or toddy frolics: and his s'esAWs himself

he did when he visited Philadelphia and entered
his name on the books of one Of the Hotels as
John j. allen, Editor of the Wayne county Her
aid, q son. we must beg leave to decline being
schooled by him. If we had the advising of this
erratlc genius, we would endeavor to make him
ambitious Of" Strengthening himself up out of the
dirt" and swelling into something like a sceaccr;
rather than to make himself ridiculous by trying
TO swell himself into the proportions of a gentle
man. Nature hardly fitted him for the first; but
when he undertook the latter, he made of himself
what we call an animal with tong ears.

Tomb of Columbus.

A correspondent Of The Picaynue, giving a
description Of the Cathedral at Havana, writes
as follows
Within the sacristy, and TO the right of the
altar in the cathedral, is a tablet of stone in
laid in the wall, having on ii the bust OF a man
in basso-relieyo. Within this lie the ashes of
the immortal Christopher Columbus, The dis
coverer of this The new world. The remains
of the great navigator, as all know, were con-
seyed from Spain 10 ST. Domingo, and after
haring resied there one hundred and three
years, they were, in l766 transferred TO Ha-
wanna; they are preserved in silver urn, en-
closed in Ieaden chest Thus has The cathe-

Correspondence of The yefersonlan Republican
Easton, August / 5th, l943


MEssRs EDIToRs:
have very little of importance TO communicate
to-day, dulness being as prevalent in Easton, just
now, as in other parts of the country. The Boat
men, who have been on strike for higher wages
fo- the last eight weeks still continue to hold out,
and there is very little prospect of speedy ar
rangement between them and their employers
The officers ofthe Beaver Meadow Company, who
own about fifty boats, arrived here one day last
week, and after considerable negotiating agreed
to give their the additional ttcenty cents per
ton, demanded. Their offer has been accepted,
and yesterday the last of their boats passed thro
the guard lock of the Delaware Canal, on its way
to the City. This company has heavy contracts,
TO supply the Navy Department, and several large
factories with coal, and in order to fulfil them was
obliged TO come TO terms with their boatmen-
The Mauch Chunk, Hazleton, Sugar Loaf, and
several other companies, have, however, done
nothing yet towards resuming operations They
say they cannot afford to pay more than they have
been giving, and the men declare that they cannot
and will not work for that SO the matter rests.
Several persons who feel themselves aggreved
by the conduct of the coal companies have collec-
ted forty two, of the .Mauch Chunk Five Dollar
certificates of loan, and brought suits on them be
fore Justice Klnsey, in this place, to recover the
penalty ofFilty Dollars which the Act of Assem-
bly, imposes upon all corporations, not expressly
Incorporated for the purposes of banking, for issu-
ing, re issuing, making, or circulating any prom
ssory note, ticket or engagement of credit in the
nature of a bank note. The cases came on for
tlial on Saturday last, but in consequence of the
defendants not being ready to proceed, were con-
tinued until Friday of this week Considerable
feeling is manifested, among our citizens, upon
the subject.
The Theatre which has been in operation here
for the past mouth, still continues to attract great
audiences. MIR. Z. s. Conner, concluded his
second engagement last evening on which occa-
sion Sllakespeare's Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet
was performed to large and fashionable assem-
blage. Miss Alexina Fisher, one of the best
American actresses is engaged, and will appear in
the course of few days
There is little calm in politics, here, just now;
but as the Regular loco foco County meeting takes
place on Monday next, we shall soon have a sur
felt of it. 1t is the general opinion that there
will be an outbreak and separation between the
two factions, at this first meeting. will keep a
sharp look out, and send you all the particulars.
Yours, J. ].

Shameful.

We learn from Southern paper, that tlco tchlte
men were sold, on the 4th inst at Spartansburg,
South Carolina, for paupsfism or debt, we are not
informed which. They brought six and quarter
cents each. This, it appears. is the standard Of
value for achitc man, at place where negro is
sold fer from two TO FIVE hundred dollars Alas,
for the pride, honor, and chivairy Of South Caro-
lima II must be low, indeed, to allow such
/ hihgs as these TO go snredressed.
