Dg~Gnoss BrrrALirY--Therc are individuals,
who, ON honorable and ambitious motives, seek
celebrity, while others, equally ambitious but
less scrnpu'ous, are perfectly content provided
they can acquire little notoriety. OF the latter
class is certain Frederick j. Fem, publisher
of the Harrisburg Statesman, a Native American
print Whilst almost all the papers in the Union,
of all political parties, having any pretensions TO
responsibility or character, were mourning the
de9th of GE,. JACKSON, in terms becoming men
who profess TO be governed by those principles
recognised bv every moral and christian com.
muniiy, this Mr.. Fern, with the feelings and
disposition of byena. could only satiate his
foul appetite by roofing rp the ashes of the dead
There are but few Of Gen. Jackscn's politcel
enemies who do not acknowledge the pnri,y of
hs intentions. Daniel Webster, himself, with
a magnanirnity becoming great mind, regretted
tina, he was sometimes compelled to oppose his
measures, as he never doubted his patriotism, or
the purity of his motives but this grub could
not discover one single virtue in the character Of
one Of the most honest and fearless patriots that
America ever produced. The following are ex-
tracts from the Statesman and we doubt whether
there is another individual in the country who
would envy the notoriety or feelings Of the per-
son who could give vent TO such base malignity :
"False to every profession he General Jack
son ever made, whether in morals, politics or
religion; acknowledged by all the basest
demagogue that ever headed nation and led it
to lis doom a sycophant in heart and a tyrant
in power, yet the good people ofonr country ale
called upon to mourn his demise"
Ills only merit was obstinacy, and in.
domitable opposition to the interests of the couu.
try that conferred her highes, honors upon him.
Base, degraded, corrupt, alien to every feeling
and emotion which characterizes and adorns the
gentleman and the christian, the attempt is ma.
king to ho2annal his m'mo-y, and hymn ptans
| of devotion at his worthless shrine"
THAT he possessed the courage of a bull dog,
and the ierocity o the tiger, we never doubted
! bnt that he, aside from his military achieve
men,s. ever did one act from good motives, we
| deny"

McCtnEY's CosFEssoN-1t was announced,
some time before the execution ofMcCurry, tina;
he had made a confession, and since his death it
has been given to the world, as though the life
of iniamy, such as i, appears he led, could prove
either advantageous or instructive to the commu
nifty. This confession has been severely review.
ed by the press in Baltimore, and contradictions
and discrepancies pointed out which greatly
shake confidence in his sincerity when lie made
them. Particularly do they notice the monstrous
doctrine that the blood of his innocent victim was
permitted to be shed to serve for an occasion To
save the murderers soul, doctrine first promul-
gated by the Rev. Simon Sauderl in Horns case.
and which is full of mischief and basphemy, as
though their victim had no soul to be saved or al
least that it was viewed by his Creator as OF nc
consequence compared with theirs.-Ledser.

uSGEAIN.-The crops, III this section, wear
promising appearance, and will, We think,
prove better than an average one BESIDES, We
believe there is but little smut and the grain is
much better filled than last season Some of our
farmers commenced harvesting some days since,
which is something earlier than usual The
prospects of lair crops, in Eng land, were, al the
latest advices, unfavorable. AT Hagerstown,
Md, contracts for wheat to be delivered in Au-
gust, at 81 per bushel, have been made. IL the
next arrivals should confirm these accounts we
may reasonably look for a rise in wheat In
the West, the wheat crop is something better
than had been anticipated In some parts of this
State some fields suffered severely from the late
frost We observed a field of wheat below Ian
caster on the right of the load roning ON Phi
ladepha, that looked as if the heads had been
thrashed out, while the left hand side presented
TO our view as handsome a field ofwheat as we
could desire to look upon. The thriving condi
ton of our manufactures will greatly tend to adj
vance and keep up the price Of grain AT Dan,
vile and in fact at all the principal manufac-
, turing places, the price of grain is as high as at
| Baltimore ana Ihilauclpiid our prospects
were, certainly, never brighter than at present.

.WoRhs OF ARr.-Mr Lester, u S. Consul
of Genoa, has brought with him work ofArt,
which has afforded us a great deal of pleasure
1t is an original portrait of Americus Vespucius
the only one in Italy, and which was presented
to Mr.. l.. by the family. 1t was taken by Brongi-
TO- and has been preserved by the llncal descen-
dants OF the Vespuci family with the greatest
care. II represents Nespucius with chart IN
his hand and apparently contemplating the dis
lant ocean he is to traverse. The head seems
to have been shavcn like that Of a monk, but
the whole face presents nothing particularly pre-
possessing The picture is accompanld with un-
doubted testimonials of its originality, among o.
Tiers a letter from the Grand Duke Of Tuscany.
IT shows hesitate of art at that time, and by It's
freshness, preserved through so long period,
exhibits the great skill of the artist. The Nes-
puci family are poor. Two daughters are en-
gagged in teaching school, while the son, the on
ly llncal male descendant, is employed IN the
Treasury Department of the government at a
salary less lhau u hundred dollars. The Duke
Of Tuscany, however supplies the wants OF the
first American that had ever called on the fami.
!y, and they were deeply affected by the COM
pIimeni as they had been before mortified at
the neglect of our coun'ryrnen. They are deep.
Iy chdgriued at the conduct of their sister, who,
