~ MIR. FOWLER has been lecturing since
Monday evening (inclusive) last, to our citizens,
on his favorite topics OF Phrenology and Physio-
logy. The room, which is probably the largest
in the city, has been crowded 10 its utmost capa-
city, and to overlooking, every evening, by an
attentive audience. 1t is possible an acute OBJ
server might find faults in Mr.. Fowler's lectures
and style of lecturing, and perhaps occasionally
errors in his examinations, but really where there
is so much of ihestmabe value scattered among
US with so liberal hand it seems like an excess
of captiousness to seek for faults. We feel
grateful for the advent of Mr. Fowler among US,
not that people would always be ignorant other
wise, on these subjects, but he is awakening the
popular mind, quickening the seeds of intell-
gence which slumber in all minds, and directing
the popular thought and investigation into those
channels where only can be found a true know
ledge of human duty and consequently human
happiness, which is the great object of existence
This is why we are pleased to have Mr.. Fowler
in our midst and consequent on his labors,
wherever he has been, we look to see his phi
losophy rapidly spread.

Local taxation, poor-rates and county cess.
has so much increased for some years past, that
It's burthen has become almost intolerable, and
we deem it but just to declare that the greatest
part of this increased taxation is caused BY the
vast numbers of laborers and farmers who have
been elected from their holdings in many parts
of the surrounding county. Their condition
when thus elected is necessarily most deplora-
bic, being without capital, connexions. home. or
occupation. 1t would be impossible for language
adequately to convey an idea of the state of dis
tress to which they have been reduced, or of the
disease, misery, and suffering which they under
go. Some seek relief in the work-house many
in the goals, in the hope of being transported but
what is most painful of all was, numbers of
them have persisted of cold, disease, nakedness
and starvation. But Of all classes, the landed
proprietors have least cause to complain of this
increased taxation, as almost the entire of il is
produced by the continuous stream of eviclions

the pressure of famine, the Ike Of which for
severity and duration seldom. If ever, was iniict-
ed upon nation, and never borne by any people
with more patience and endurance.

II The Experiment denies our assertion that
the County Mass Meeting originated with the
Farmers Club Suffice it to say, that promi-
nent member of the Club who was active in cir
culating the call, informed us that it was there
originated, We do not mean to say originated
in the Club as Club, but with the gentlemen of
the Club. This of course, is nothing against
the move, but it might give rise to the suspicion
that 1t was designed to benefit particular class.
The nomination has been made, and whether the
suspicion, it it existed, was correct, can be infer
red.

CoSoREssIoSAL-Our Congressional procee-
dings present remarkable uniformity, and will
hardly justify publication. Discussion of the
slavery question, in which the same opinions are
reiterated day after day, is the order of business
in both houses. Speculation as to the final re-
suit is useless. When any thing definite trans
pires, we shall take some pains to let our readers
know il.

1JM Webster will not vote for the proyiso
to be applied to our new territories for the rea-
son that he does not wish to "re-enact the will
Of God with reference to them" We suppose
ii to be the will of God that slavery should exist
nowhere, but it does exist nevertheless and we
are afraid will continue to for some time 10 come,
unless the will of God on the subject should be
re-enacted. 1t is to be regretted that it should
ever be necessary TO re-enact the will of God,
but all good laws are simply such re-enactment
and Mr.. Webster ought to know it. If this Sc
cond Daniel is to come to judgment and establish
the precedent that the will Of God is never to be
re-enacted, we hope no legislature will ever meet
again, for unless the laws they pass are re-en-
actments of the viii of God, it will be much bet
ter to pass none.

Of what we have to suffer to obtain that which in

little, o, hO1c tute do our friends al home imagine

To give you some idea of the way people die
here, will name a few instances One COM

A man and four sons came from New York this
summer; one of the sons died on the Isthmus, one
two months since, here; the father six weeks

last, was held. God authority says there were
l20 voters present, which is probably the fact
One hundred and twenty voters it must be con-
fessed, is rather a small number to compose a
mass meeting and make nomination for some
fifteen hundred or two thousand, and we should
think ticket so got up, would have to depend
rather on its intrinsic merit, than on any binding
force in the manner of its selection. So far then
as that is concerned, the ticket is good one
the men are qualified for the stations for which
they have been selected, and if elected, will no
doubt do their duties well. AS to the ''no-partv'
feature of the ticket, it is just as we expected
Active partisans of all parties are the nominees
and we have an al-party ticket, where a no-par-
ty ticket was expected.
1t will be necessary then for the party which
dominates tomorrow, to see to it that they have
ticket as unexceptionable as is this. Then
the contest will be where it belongs. upon the
question of party and party organization. There
may be very reasonable doubt whether il is best
to sustain party, when to get bad men into Office
is to Re the result; but when the party presents
as good men as can be found elsewhere. we look
upon it as good policy that all who profess to be-
long to that party shall sustain that nomination
