 Strange Parorysm.-Therei is now living in Harrison county, Ohio, says the Carroll Free Press, married lady, who breaches d sermon at her residence every other Sabbath day. When the preaching paroxysm comes on her, she prays, reads a text of Scripture without the book, and explains il in rather sensible and eloquent manner, the discourse frequently occupying from two to two and a half hours While the paroxysm is on, she is wholly insensible to all surrounding ob- iects, but readily refers to subjects discussed by her in previous discoures. She has preach- cd, as we understand, nearly one hundred sermons, periodically-that is, one every two weeks, commencing each about the same hour of the day. So soon as her sermon is finished, the natural exercise of her faculties seems to be restored, she resumes her efdi- nary domestic duties, and Is entirely uGeon- sclous of any thing she may have said or done during the delivery of the discourse. In fact she does not know that she breaches at all, except while she is engaged in her dis course.

BemiJM .Meteor.-On Friday night, Oct. 4th, there passed over our village one of the most beautiful meteors that has graced the heavens for long series of years. At the time of its appearance, the full moon was just above the horizon, and yet it lighted the whole western part of the sky, and cast strong shadows in the direction of the queen of the, night The meteor started in the South, and passed in a Nortil-west direction 1t first presented the form Of a globe of vel low fire, then burst with slight report, and passed on to the horizon, in double balls attached to each were streams of fire, giving them the appearance of swiftly sped arrows of different colors. The admiration which this splendid exhibition of the Armament call ed forth in our minds, will not be effaced, as long as we have a heart to throb, at the sub lime and beautiful of Gods works.

THE GLOBE CAUGHT AT LAST.

! The Globe denies having assailed MIR. Cal
houn on Monday, though il does not deny the
attack on the last day of the session. We
proved the one. and now we will prove the
other.
We make the following extracts from the ar
ticle in Mondays Globe:
"Under the Democratic administrations, the ex-
pense OF every branch of the public service was kept
dstinct--and wisely SO for ii was the only way Of
detecting extravaganza, preserving economy, aud cor
recling abuses. Now, this wholesome practice On
The navy, at leas is changed and we go back To the
appropriations IN The lump, which was the Federal
practice before Mr.. Jeflersons time, The African
squadron Is proof OF thus. Instead Of apprOpria-
ting specific sum for at squadron il is mixed up
with the eXpenseJ Of the whole navy eight mil
lions demanded for the whole and then all the
John Joneses turn IN, and cry out that the African
squadron costs nothing.
One of the first duties of the Democratic Congress Of
le43-'44 will be to compel the existing Admnistra-
ton TO return tospecfc appropriations for is branch
of the service; and let the people what we are
paying under clause Of the Webster treaty.
Such slang was uttered by Mr.. Benton in the
Senate in reply 10 Mr.. Calhoun. Let The reader
refer to the debates. Mr.. Calhoun frowned
down Mr.. Benton's feeble opposition, and
carried through the bill alluded 10 by an over
whelming majority. Only Mr. Benton and two
or three others voted against il.
Now we contend that the sole object of the
GLIDE and Mr. Benton is to undermine Mr..
Calhoun, since they are afraid to assa HIM
openly

quiry from the Editor of the New Hampshire Senti-
mel concerning remark attributed by many in that
Section to Mr. WEBSTER
WASHINGTON, Feb. 81, ls43.
My Dear Sir IL have received your letter of the
23d instant. The SANDER that ever made any such
declaration as, stake Of the rich, and tue rich
will take care of the poor, is base calumny. On
the contrary such sentiment would be at variance
with OF the great and leading objects of my whole
pub ic liz which object has been 10 improve the
condition of the industrious classes to increase their
information, and promote their independence.
This purpose La. ever been cherished by me not
only from 1ene evidence ard kind feeling towards the
great mas Of my fellow citizens, but also from lhe
fullest conv ction that, as great Official prncple,
in country where suffrage universal,
we must always look, for ihe support Of good Gov
eminent and civil and religious liberty, 10 the intel
lig-nce, many character, virtue anu ind' pendence
of those who constitute prevailing and irresistible
majory in all popular elections.

A WARNING IN EARNEST.

The KEPuBLlcAss OF the country have doubt
less been as much surprised as W. confess our
selves TO have been, to witness the violest and
repeated attacks 90 The new Secretary of War,
which have appeared in the Pennsylvanian, the
Globe, and the Richmond Enquirer, during the
last ten days
Alter every conscientious Democrat in the
country had heartily approved the course Of
Presid ut Tyler, 10 having interposed to save
The country and the party from the proAigate do
mina,on OF the Federalists, there seemed TO be-
but one desire unqualified among the Democr,-
TIC People throughout the land and that desire
wssa lair r presentation in his Cabinet, and
restoration to the posts of honor and profit from
which they nd been thrust out by the Clay
Cabinet
In complying with the univer ally expressed
wishes Of the Republican party in this pa leu
lar, il could ha dly have occurred to the Chief
Magistrate tina, he should rap the fierce, I'M
compromising, eternal epmity OF trio Of the
hitherto Acknowledged organs Of tina, party.
lie could hardly have supposed that these o.
gans possessed either the inclination or the
porer TO set up their own private and personal
interests as an insuprrablr barrier between the
Executive and the People. Ii was unnatural
10 sui pose that tb'se three journals would
pounce down so fuiicu,ly on any Democrat
who accepted office from the President; paru
culary since each and all of them had repeat
edly cep>ured The President because he had mol
appoinied Democrats; and since The son of the
editor ct the Globe held Office under him. But
such, &c would appear, is the fact, nevertheless.
II ooy remains TO be sen If The Democratic
PEorLr VIII continue TO endorse these discor-
dsnt organs.
I hat they are not sustained by other Repub
Iican journals, our readers who glance At the
extracts made in this paper, will be sufficiently
convinced. The following article l., ct all

THE WAY THE CLAY-WHIGS WORK 1T.

When the friends Of Mr.. Tyler determined to call
a meeting in this place, the Clay Uhigs became very
uneasy, and all manner Of stories put in
lation They insisted that Messrs Tyler and Wick
life were about being most egregiously hoaxed by
fsp Loco Focos OF New Jersey, who promised Mr.
Tyler TO hold convention to nominate him for Pre-
sdent." 1t was asserted by them that there were
not half dozen men in the State who even houg {
fsyorably Of MIR. Tyler This notion that the Dem
ocrats Of New jersey were not sincere, was first
started by "Oyor Oldschool," the correspondent Of
the United States Gazette, several days before the
meeting Of the 18th ult; and what is very remarka-
bic is that at the very time that OLIVER writing
that letter, certain postmaster who does not live
fifty miles from Trenton, at Wash ngton attend
ing OF his patients. We arc not able 10 say whe-
Their that patient was "Oliyer Odschoo" or not a
few days after this the same idea suggested by "O-
Yer Oldschoon was again repeated IN the State Ga
rehe-and we loss TO know whether It was
conveyed to the editors mind by tie letter Of OH
yer Odschool' or by the postmaster who had then
returned from Washington.

MIR. CUSHING'S REJECTION.

The rejection Of the nomination Of Mr. Gushing,
as Secretary of the Treasury, is measure which
cannot but regard with regret. Aside from the right
which the President ought always to enjoy of select
ing his constitutional advisers, Mr. Cush n.y. by his
abilities and intimate knowledge Of the interests of
the country, fully deserved the position in its
ellis which he President designed that he should
cupy, and would have discharged its duties with
dit To himself and honor to the country. He WILL
however, do this m any position, and whlteyer his
relation To the Government Of the country may be,
his talents will always be exercised for her welfare
If MIR. Gushing designs wishes to continue in Con-
gress, think there can be little doubt of his re-
election in his district in which it is quite certain no
one else can be chosen. The fact is that Mr. Cust-
ng's talents and accurate knowledge Of our foreign
relations, well as domestic interests, cannot v ell
be spared by the Government His services are
needed IN Congress If the male violence of party must
be suffered TO prevent them from being exercised in
a different sphere. We do not know what Mr. Cush-
ing's intentions for the future may be, nor what
course the President may think proper to pursue in
relation to the vacancy in his Cabinet and the prob
able vacancy which is expected to occur in the mis-
sion 10 England. But this we do know: that il is for
the interest Of this State and specially for his dis
trie to retain his services IN the halls Of Congress
