GOOD ONE,

A correspondent OF the "New
York Spiri, of the Times relates
the following:
"Some years since. a North Caro-
lima LAWYER, vet living, undertook
TO convince a Methodist preacher OF
some celebrity, that his manner of
preaching. in threatnIng his auditors
with damnation, was injudIcIous; and
that arguments and exhOrtations OF
a mIlder character would be more
successful. After listening patiently,
the preacher replied-''My friend,
YOU are mistaken. Sin Is like a ter.
rapln-you may eXhort, admonlsh,
ever kick him, and he will not move
out merely draws his head within his
shell, and your labor is lost-but
place a coal of fire on his back, and
he traveIs, Hell fire is the article.

CITY INTELLIGENCE.

.4,rest Of Nc Curry, The supposed .Murderer-
attempted Suicide. The public will doubtless
be gratified TO learn that Henry McCurry,
charged with the murder of Mr.. Paul Roux, of
Macon, Georgia, while temporarily lodging in
a room with the accused, in the tavern of Fran
els Nolin, Charles street, on Sunday night last,
has been arrested and put in prison in n York
AS this melancholy affair, and most atrocious
murder, has excited much public interest, we
give the particulars of the arrest somewhat in
detail. 1t will be remembered that the body of
the murdered man was not discovered until
about eight o'clock on Tuesday evening last
some time after McCurry had started in the
cars for Philadelphia. The circumstances of
the case leaving little doubt that McCurry had
committed the diabolical deed, the Mayor des-
patched officers Brown and Mclaughlin in
pursuit of him. who traced him as far as Phila-
delphia. Officer Ridgely, of the firm of Hays,
Zell, Ridgely s. Cook, on behalf of the Odd
Fellows of this city, took the cars also for Phil
adelphia, at eight O'Clock on Tuesday evening,
arrived there about three next morning, and
by system of tact and perseverance so char
acterstic of himself and firm, made himself
douby sure of McCurry's arrival in that city,
by finding out the cab-driver who had taken
him and baggage from the cars, on his arrival
previously from Baltimorssto Bloodgood's Ia
vern; he also ascertained that McCurry had
freely INDUCED in drink and lewdness while in
that city, and had left for New York on Tues
day afternoon. Officer Ridgely started imme-
diately for New York, and arrived there about
two o'clock on Wednesday, when, procuring

FAKIR OF AVA. The genuine Fakir of Ava
is about to take tour South, and will give ex-
hbtions of his wonderful powers in the scve-
raj cities through which he may pass. They
have ELECTED unbounded applause in Baltimore,
Washington, Philadelphia, &c. His receptions
are aore expertly and cleverly performed than
any we ever witnessed; and we apprlze the
Southern folks that they may anticipate rich
treat in visiting his exhibitions. He is an hon
est man, and yet calls himself the greatest
Humbug of the age.

The DuEL-Mogement in The House. Con-
gress may pass laws to prevent dueIling, or
even expel members for settling their dferen-
ces upon what is enormously termed "the field
of honor;" but the practice cannot be suppress
ed whilst so great latitude is given to speak
ers, in their abuse of each othsr. There is eth
err no rule to restrict discretion TO the subject
under consideration, or it is never enforced the
consequence is, that hot-headed politicians not
only indulge in partzan speeches, but use the
most insulting language towards their opponents
personally. When member is thus grossly as
sailed, what is he to do? Shall he sit quietly
and endure the infection? Or shall he retort in
theAme low and disgraceful style; He will do
neither. He will demand satisfaction at the
pistols mouth-and all the laws IN the world
will not restrain him. If he is not afraid to rush
unprepared into the presence of his God, or to
send an erring fellow being "unanointed, un-
annealed" to his long account, he will hardly
shrink from the violation of human laws. The
cause Of duels among members Of Congress, is
to be found in the want of self-respect Did
they sufficiently respect themselves, they would
adopt and enforce rules, which would efectual-
ly prevent the coarse and vulgar proceedings
which too frequently disgrace the House of Re-
representatives.. A true gentleman will never
wantonly offer an insult, and hence will give
no cause to be insulted by others. The MEM
Der who deviates from the subject before the
house to make personal attacks, should be con-
sidered as offering an insult to the house, and
should be promptly made to take his seat
But, instead of this course being adopted, he is
too often cheered on by his party, as dog is
Kissed on to fight; and the natural result is,
call for ''coffee and pistols for two'
Our readers are aware, that, in consequence
. of the recent duel between two members of the
house, a resolution for their expulsion was in
troduced and laid on the table. In discussing
the propriety of this resolution, Mr.. Causin of
Maryland, very correctly remarked-''if gen
tlemen wished to put stop to these private APP
peals to arms, let them 60 at once to the source
of the evil. Let them not labor to dam up the
streams, but 90 at once to the fountain head.
Let them alter their rules for regulating debate
and let them carry out existing rules by time
ly, rigid, inAexible application of them. When
ever offensive words were spoken, let there be
an instant appeal to the authority of the house.
Let these rules be applied by the presiding off,
Ger, backed by the house to support him, with
out distinction of friend or foe.''
This is the true and only remedy; and until
it be applied, we shall have continuance of
congressional brawls, and occasional duels be-
tween members. The pistol establishes an
equality which nature may have denied.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. Our cores
pofdent "a True american" is correct in sup
posing that it would be inexpedent for the
American Republicans of Baltimore to issue a
Declaration of Principles, without consultation
with members of the party in other sections of
the union. The necessity Of perfect harmony
of views and action, is understood by the party
generally-and to produce this harmony it has
been proposed, to hold national convention
in Philadelphia, on the fohrta day of July next
"a very appropriate day for the PRONUNCIATION
of principles which are to sustain the American
union. There are points upon which it will be
necessary to have free and full discussion, be-
fore the American Republicans take their stand
as national party-and we agree with our
correspondent, that we should have nothing
whatever to do with religious sectarian differ
ences of opinion. Our first business in Balti-
more, is to organize; and, if the proposed con-
vention be held, to take care that our city be
properly represented in it.
