PHILADELPHIA, April IS, 1850.
Messrs Editors:
Well, the good old Quaker City is, at oEe-
sent, in high Cuisines fever.n Heavr
purchases, generally, have been made ty
country merchants, although good, are nc.
as low as they have been at previous sea-
sons. At no period has the city been more
healthy, and the genera! routine of busincss
affairs seem to be progressing with unusual
briskness. lfa.a-
There is here general calm in poli,ica,
affairs. The slavery question has beconq
somewhat stale, and no new projects have
been started to excite the attention of The
people. The members of our State Legisla.
ture have effected much of Importance IN
the people this winter, while on the other
hand they have been wasting their time an
Divorce bills, exciting but little feeling. onlv
to the parties interested: Tho application
OF Edwin Forrest, citizen Of Nas York for
divorce, is without parallel in the annals o.
history. In the lace Of all that is legal an
just, he applies to our Legislature to be di-
vorced from his wife, with the perhaps false
plea of infideliiy. Why not appeal to the
courts of his own State, and give his wife,
at least, the chance of defending herself,-
As the old saying is, "the purse is sometime
migh,ier Than the sword"
The Williamsport Convention win, ne
doubt, be largely attended, and it is to be he
ped that the nominations there made WI
meet with The cordial support of the whole
Democratic party. ss
Ihave but little 70 give you in the shape
of news. The local affairs of our city would
not prove very interesting in your region Of

Advice to Tobacco Chewers.

the same time.
Never forget to stain your linen with a few
drops OF the precious juice. That will give

Our Duty.

As Christians, reverence the awful govern
ment OF Cod Insure your prosperity by con-
secratng it to religion and virtue Be humble
IN your eievation; be moderate in your views;
be Submissive to him who has raised and dis
;lngushed you. Forget not that on his provi-
dence You are as dependent, and tothe obedi-
ence OF his laws as much bound, as the mean
EST OF your fellow creatures. Disgrace not
your station by that grossness of sensuaiity,
that levlty OF dissipation or that insolence of
rank, which bespeak little mind Let the
aftabilty OF your behavior show that you re-
member the natural equality of men. Let
your moderation in pleasure, your command
OF passion, aud youf steady regard to the great
duties of life, show thai you possess a mind
worthy of your fortune. Establish your char
acter on The basis of esteem; not on the fiat
terry oil dependents: or The praise of sycophants,
but on the respect of the wise and the good.
Let innocence preside over your enjoymenIs.
Let usefulness and benefcence, not osfenta-
ton and vanity, direct the train of your pur-
suits. Let your aims, together VITA your
prayers come up in memorial be- u God.
So shall your prosperity, under the blessing
OF Heaven, be "as the shining light, that shin
eth more and more unto the perfect day." SO
shall II resemble those celestial frs VIII CHI
