MY DEAR SIR
Having nothing particularly pressing upon NV
time at the present, have seized the le;snre mo.
men to scraw you Lew lines thinking il might he
matter OF some Int est for you to know thatPts.
burg Is SUI! upon the lace OF the earth Business is
decidedly lmprovlng-the water has been et into
the canals, and boats are constantly running well
filled with produce and merchandise There is
now in this city an immense quantity of bacon.
ready for the market In truth, our business men
begin to dress their faces in smiles, in the confident
expectation OF doing large and profitable business
| the present year.
We had a little fracas" a short time since be.
tween fellow of the name of Goslinger and one
| of our merchants, named McCully. knife was
| drawn by Gosinger, and in the attempt to seize
| him, McCuly received wound in the hand. The
bowe-knlle man was sent to prison, there to rumi-
nate upon his manifold sins Of omission and COM
mission.
| We have one matter of interest," which still con-
tnues to occupy portion of the thoughts and re-
marks of our good citizens. / allude to the runa-
way marriage OF our great heiress, Mi Croghan,
with W.T. certain Captain Schndly; AT The first ego
on" thu great inquiry was, :" Who married Captain
Now the question is, where the devil are Captain
and Mrs. Schendly? When are they coming to
this h country? What is the Captain going to do
ABOUT his wife, immense property? &c. &C. &c.
The family Of Mrs. SchendIy appear still to feel
very indignant and belligerent towards the Captain
1t has been whispered about that they have made
great efforts to induce the lady to leave her hus
band, and return to the United States. II has even
been stated that Judge Baldwin, has written to her,
and tor the same purpose. Now, for one, do not
PEI one word OF this cannot permit myself
tor one mSmeut to think that an honorable high
minded man, such as Judge Baldwin most certainly
Is, could ever be induced so to do. What urge a
wife to leave her husband :! and for what purpose,
in the name of heaven! If she has been hasty in
her marriage, can the deseriOn of her duties mend
the evil? To me, the whole thing appears incredi-
hle should be sorry ever to believe such an eff
tort could be attempted either by Judge Baldwin,
or any OF the highly honorable friends and relatives
of Mrs Schindly.
There is another view connected with this affair,
which lsa matter OF more interest to some OF our
citizens, as II may ultimately touch their pockets.
portion OF the property OF the late Gen. O'Hara,
is occupied by stores, warehouses, &c &s. These
are rented out by certain Trustees appointed under
OF Mrs. Schendy, leased from the Trustees certain
portions or the whole, and which do not know, of
the property bequeathed to his wife, and to her
ceivlng for number Of years past the rents of the
himself and daughter. (Mrs shendly) should the
parties go at ogger-heads the devil might be to pay
the trustees to Mr. Croghan, &C. &c &c.
Great pickings would there be in such quarrel for
the lawyers. Some, of our, city gentlemen of the
learned profession have already begun, l hear, to
'whet their beaks" Tor this state of events Like
the drunken man, who turned into his bed all
standlng-they wish to be ready in case of fire.
enough, about Mr. and Mrs. Shenly spell his
name every kind Of way, in hope, among them ALL
to have one right.
Some rather funny things have been limited at be-
tween some OF our gay gallants and ladies fair. I
am buslly engaged in collecting and collating the
facts for your especia! benefit This is great city;
great times are coming. Look out gentlemen and
ladIes-one thing be assured OF,
shall nothing exteauate,
Orse down aught in malice.
For the present, my dear sir, bid you adieu.
PRoF. WINES Observation-Disclosures OF TIE He
BREws-Prof. Wines gave the second lecture of his
course at the Society Library to select intelligent
andgrauhed audience. After s1etching the character
OF the founder OF the State, he entered into an ex-
animation Of the policy ofhis laws and their inHu-
ence on the legislation and philosophical opinions of
mankind. He described Moses as most extraor-
binary man-extraordnary in the circumstances
OF his birth, adoption, ard education--in the grasp
and energy OF his intelect-ip the strength OF his
patriotism-.in the destiny to which he was called
land in the ability with which he discharged his
trust, and the magnitude of the results he accom-
plished: His civil institutions the lecturer represent
ted as based upon six fundamental organic princi-
pies, VIZ: the entire political equality of the whole
body OF the citlzens-the appointment OF agricul-
ture the chief employment OF the nation-the dis
couragement of military sprit-the universal edu-
cation OF the people--a union OF hearts and opln-
system OF checks and balances between the several
powers ct the government.
Mr.. Wines laid down the proposition that there
never was nation, ancient or modern, in which
the people stood upon so perfect level in respect to
political rights and influence, as the Jews under the
constitution of Moses.
In support Of this opinion he argued thus PRO.
perty in the soil IS the foundation of power, and so
OF authority. Hence the natural foundation of eve.
ry government is laid in the distribution Of its terri
tories II the prince own the lands, he will be alb
solute, because the people holding of him and at his
he in of
slaves, and'not OF freemen. II the land be shared
among few men, the real power and authority of
government will be In the hands of an arlsocracy,
whatever power may be lodged In one or more per.
sons, for the sake of greater union IN counsel and
action Bat if the lands be equally divided among
the members OF society, the true power OF
such government will reside in all the members
of such society, and the society itself will consti.
tute a real democracy, whatever form of union
may be adopted for the better direction of the whole
as political body Now this is an exact account
Of the provision of the Hebrew Constitution in re.
ference to property in the sell. Moses legslated
for people without land, and who had their terrific
ries TO conquer at the point of the sword. He was
not therefore trammelled by any prescrptive rights,
or laws ct inheritance but was free to adopt any
principle that he might deem most equitable and ex-
pedlent The principle he did choose that of
GOO 600 Tree citizens; and to render this equality
lasting, the tenure was made inalienable, and the
estates thus originally settled in each family were
to descend, by an indeeasible entail, in perpetual
succession. But we have not time to follow the
lecturer through his elaborate and most interesting
dispositions. His discourse abounded in novel and
striking views. The third and fourth lectures will
be given on Monday and Tuesday evening next.
The course thus far has been and promises be well
worthy the attention of every inqaistive and liberal
mind. II contains much information upon curious
and important subject, AMI one which hitherto has
never been treated in the way Mr.. Wines ham
dies it,
