our next we intend publishing General
McCALLA's card, relative to the char
ges which he recently brought against
Mr.. Clay, Of p'aying cards, &c.; and
accompanied with a vindication OF
I,itr1selffrosn the aspersions of the fed
eralists, who are resorting to every
means to conceal Mr. CLAY's immor-
atty from the public eye by procur-
ing the certificates, Of clergymen, eld-
ers and deacons, that they never knew
him TO gamble or swear.-[ Qusre-ls ii
consistent with their profession to visit
gaming holes ''-If not, how then
could they kno,o anything about it /
II is no more than justice to the Re

ges should be fastened upon him.
The card referred to will be printed
in an extra by Monday next.

New Issue.

The wing papers, all over the country, since the
election, are trying toget up an entirely new is
sue. The Boston Courier boldly advises that all
the old issues, such as the bank, tariff &c be at
once dropped, and Native Americanism be adopt
ed. In order to effect this, the Courier appeals
most feeIingly to the prejudices of its readers a
gainst the Roman Catholics, and tells many bad
stories about old countrymen, sc. The small fry
have chimed in with abusive stories, with great
concord, even down to the Caledonian' We thIDK
they will do about as much to advance the cause
Of religion by these pious abors, as they have the
cause of liberty bytheir singular course.

of God and the poor slave, and not only confess,
but forsake my former position, which has served
to perpetuate the suferings of my fellow beings.
/ am shocked at my inconsistency, and would say
with the venerable Wesley, that slavery IS IN my
view othe sum Of all vilIanies;" and that "Amerl-
can slavery is the viiest that ever saw the sun"
With these views wish to make solemn decia-
ration to the world that have no fellowship with
slavery or those who support it, directly or Ind''
recty have nothing to do with public opinion
or expedency, any farther than they correspond
with the principles Of the Gospel.
And would also make solemn appeal to al
who profess to love God, and their nelghhor a
themselves, whether they can feel justified IN JON
ing hands with or in any way supporting the OPP
pressor, and thereby continuing the poor slave II
his deplorable state? Are you ready to meet yon
final Judge and your oppressed fellow men, whef
the secrets Of all hearts must be revealed!
Yours, for righteousness.

The publishers of the Green Mountain Freeman
propose to publish, each month, a tract, of from
to 16 pages; to be under the direction Of the State
Committee, or committee appointed tor that

tinue until after the next State election. lhey
propose to publish 70 900 pages for dollar. The
Tracts to be sent to the different County Commit

distributed to every family in town. so FAR as may
be- They are to he distributed gratultouSy, and
the funds to be raised by pledges from towns and

count Of the gale 5h-tho lake,
We went N board the steamer ST. Louis on
Friday, the 18th Of Oct, and left Buffalo at P.
M. We passed up So miles, when we were met
with a gale The shaft soon broke, and the boat
became unmanngeabIe for awhile. For two hours
she lay drifting at the mercy Of the waves dipping
water at almost every plunge she made, washing
off the freight, and what is still more lamentabIe'
four poor fellows were thrown overheard to"na
a watery grave Such cries for mercy and shrleks
among the passengers, were enough to move the
stouteSt heart. But the good Lord saw fit to save
/ the boat and the rest of u.s. She went asho.e on
Black Rock, three miles from Buffalo, on Satur'
day, 9 O'Clock, A. NJ There we were visited by
a herd Of dock scofns that seemed intent on get
TING the last pntance that the more mercltuI storm
had left to US. Such destruction Of life and prop
erty on the lake and at Buffalo was never before
