and hence the public good demands that il
be removed from all legislative halls and seats
ofjustice, and that the spirit ration, the great
cause of insolence and crime in our gallant
navy, be at once abolished.
The resolution was advocated by Rev. John
Chambers, of Philadelphia, who appealed to
the ladies' to aid their exertons.
A Bencdiction was pronounced by Rev. DR..
Chambers.

The Governor and the Printer.

Franklin had just returned from assisting
poor Collus to bed, when the Captain Of the
vessel which had brought him to New York,
stepped up and in very respectful manner
put note into his hand. Ben opened, not
without some agitation, and read MS follows
sc. Burnctt's compliments await young
Mr.. Franklin, and should be glad to have half
an hours chat with him over glass of
wine.
sc. Burnett said Ben, 'who can that be |?
'Why It's the Governor replied the Cap
tain with smile; Il have just been to see him
with some letters brought for him from Bos-
ion; and when told him what world of
books you have, he expressed curiosity to see
you, and begged would return with you to
his palace
Ben instantly set off with the Captain, but
not without sigh as he cast look at the
door Of poor Collins bed room, to think what
an honor that wretched man had lost for the
sake OF two or three gulphs Of filthy grog.
The Governors looks at the approach ol
Ben, showed somewhat disappointment
He had, it seems, expected considerable en-
tertainmcnt from Ben's conversation. But
his fresh and ruddy countenancc showed him
so much younger than he had counted on,
that he gave up all his promised entertain
mcnt as lost hope. He received Ben, how
ever, with great politeness, and ater'prcssing
en- him glass of wine, took him into an adj
joining room, which was his library, consist
ing ofa large and well chosen selection.
Seeing the pleasure which sporklcd in Bcn's
eyes, as he surveyed so many elegant au.
thors, and thought of the rich stores Of know
ledge which they contained, the Governor
with a smile of complaccncy, as on young
pupil of science, said to him
well, Mr.. Franklin, am tsld by The
Captain. here, that you have fiuc collection
too.''
Only trunk full, sir" said Ben.

would be for us to converse with such a

feathers. Hence their conversation is NO

After several other handsome compliments
on Ben, and the Captain expressing wish to
be going, the Governor shook hands with
Ben, begging at the same time, that he would
forever consider him one OF his fastest friends
and also never to come 10 New York without
coming to see him.

AMERICAN TEMPERANCE UNION.

The fifteenth anniversary of the formation
of the American Temperance Union was cell
ebrated In New York, at the Broadway Ia
bernacle. The proceedings were opened by
prayer by nr. Waterman, of Providence, RI.
The annual report was read by Rev. J..
Ward, corresponding secretary. 1t commenc-
ed with an aluson to the fact that each suc-
sessivc age has been marked by some great
work Of GOd for the good of man. TO this
age belongs the Temperance rclormation.-
Whether there has been an advance or de-
cline in the work in the year past it may be
difficult to determine, and is of little compara-
tive consequence. Are we right Is the re-
form demanded : Are the means used adapt
ed to the end I Is God in his physical and
moral laws with US! These are the great
inquiries. The magnitude of the evil is ap-
pallng; but not more than isthc success of
operations in the half century closed astound-
ing and cheering.
The report brought out the traffic with its
fright(ul results. Only from localities can we
estimate the whole. In the cities of the State
of New York are 1000 liquor shops, selling
at low computation S25, 100000 worth a
year, aside from the traffic in towns and Will
ages; all sending in single year (ls49
more than $4,000 men into the prisons for
crimes committed under the influence Of ntox.
ication, and 69,260 into the poor houses,
made paupers by intemperance. In New
York city are 4,525 licensed, and $50 unli-
ccnscd houses, and 3,796 selling on the Sab
bath; and here in four and q half years, end
ing Dec. 1850, were committed 36,775 per-
sons for drunkenness, 20,190 for intoxication
and disordcrly conduct, ii ,347 for vagrancy,
1896 for assault and battery, 0,2O2 for dis
orderly conduct; in all, Ill, 1850, (for the
most part victims Of strong drink,) exclusive
of many in the higher class not seen drunk in
the streets or taken to the Tooinbs. And so
in other States and cities. Yet millions have
burst the chain, and the traffic is now frown-
ed upon, detestcd, abhorred, and driven into
shades and dens.
In the great conflict with this monster vice,
the American Temperance Union and its
auxiliares have fallen behind no former year.
More than 10000 Journals, and 100000
Youths Advocates have been issued from
their Office with these publications. Home
and Foreign Missions, two State Legislatures
and numerous Sunday schools have been
gratuitously supplied. 1000 copies of the
Half Century Tribute to the cause have been
distributed. A new edition of permanent
Temperance Documents, and several four
page tracts have been issued. Numerous
sermons and lectures have been preached and
delivered by the corresponding secretary

auxiliary State Societies have held annual
meetings, taken strong and decisive action,
and made favorable reports. One new State

Demoeratic state Convention.


The State Democratic Central Committee
have fixed upon the 9Th day Of August as an
appropriate time for The meeting OF Dem
ocratic State Convention to nominate State
Offices, namely; Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Secretary, Auditor and Treasurer OF
State, Attorney General, three members OF
the Board Of Public Works and five Supreme
Judges.
Scioto county is entitled to one delegate;
and as the nominations are important ones
and the first under the new constitution we
hone her voice will be heard in that conyen-
tion. To that end, we would propose, in
accordance with the views Of the county
central committee, that as many of our
friends as can attend nom the different town
ships should meet at this place, on Saturday
the 26th day Of July for the purpose OF nom
mating delegate to the convention.
The time is auspicious. The, democracy
of the State has everything to hope for; and
now that we have constitution, better iit-
ted to be medium for carrying into effect
the cherished principles of the party, it is
time that every true democrat should step
forward, to give an impetus in the right dl-
rection 10 the car of State. Let the trst
measures adopted under the new constitution
be democratic, and let democrats be the first
men to carry them intoefect.

6 Tha PennIe.n

We have noticed inseveral Wing prints, when
alluding to the heproyisions of the New Constitu-
ton, the words g the people," used sneeringly-
whether at the constitutional provision merely.
or, the people themselves, it matters but little.
When editors begin to sneer at " the people,
and intimate that they have power that does moi
belong to them, it is high time that we should
look to our rights, and answer with something
more effective than sarcasm. Who are these,
that adjust their spectacles over their venerable
noses, and with self-sufficient look, scribble
away at articles which are intended to make
sport of "the people," and their rights Why
do they not come out at once, ard say that the
people have no right to elect officers

Old Canals in Eeypt.

At recent meeting, May Goth, of the insti-
tuition of civil engineers, England, paper was
read on the Isthnus of Suez, and the ancient
canals of Egypt, by Jos. Glynn, Z. E. 1t was
a very interesting paper. About 600 years be-
fore tne Christian era, Darius Hystapis, made a
canal from the Nile to the Red Sea. 1t was
in some places 150 feet wide and 80 feet deep.
1t passed through the valley to the Bitter Lakes,
and was navigable for vessels of considerable
size when the Nile was high. 1t also served
for The supply of cities with water. The an
cien,s assumed that there was difference OF
Level between the Red Sea and the Meditera-
mean, and precautions were taken to prevent
the salt water of the Red Sea from mixing with
the Nile. This canal fell to decay, but was
restored about GA A. D., by the Turkish Ca
liph Omar, who introduced many improvements,
and brought the canal to join the Nile near
to Cairo. The general decay of Egypt brought
about decay of his canal again, and it became
choBed up 100 years afterwards, and for thou
sand years it remained so, and was almost for
gotten until Napoleon, that wonderful man,
went to Egypt. He directed the eminent en-
gineer, La Pere, to survey it and report. The
length was about ninety-three miles, through a
low, barren, sandy plain, and traversing many
lagoons and lakes, offering buta few difficult
ties TO engineering. La Pere reported thatthe
rise of high water in the Red Sea was six feet
in the Mediterranean one foot; and the surface
of the former was stated to be very high water,
above low water in the latter. Mr.. Robert
Stephenson was present at the meeting, and, as
he had but recently returned from Egypt, he
stated that the low water in the Red Sea and
the Mediterranean were identical, and La
Pere made great mistake, which he attributed
to hasty survey made in the time of war, The
possibility Of restoring this ancient canal wai
discussed. There is ridge at the present mo-
ment at the end of the Red Sea, towards the
Bitter Lake, consisting Of fossils identical will
| those of the London basin, caused by a geo.
logical upheaval which had changed the fea.
tures of the district. 1t has been considered
that the Bitter Lakes were once at the head
waters of the Red Sea, and the ruins of cities
and towns around give evidence Of the regior
being at one time very fertile. 1t was the lane
of Goshen, watered with a fresh stream from
the canal of Sesostris, and from it Lake TIE,
mash was supplied with pure water.

Blackwood for June has been upon our
table for several days, and we have perused
the greater part of its interesting contents
"My Novel" is continued; "Eschylus, Shak-
speare, and Schiller" is learned critiqu,
upon the Drama, ancient and modern. But
the most interesting article which il contaips
and one worth to the lover of antiquity a
years subscription to Blackwood, is the tsVVess
tiges of the Ancient Inhabitants of Scotland
In this we learn that at one time the people
of Scotia, like the ancient inhabitants of
America, used as weapons and tools Of vari-
GUS kinds, instruments cut and shaped from
flint rock. A description of "Kents Hole" !"
near Torquay, is given, which leads to the
belief that there were manufactures of these
curious instruments. There, among other
wonders, was found heap of flintS, in all
conditions, from the rounded pebble as it
came out of the chalk, to the instruments
fabricated as arrow-heads, spear-heads
and hatcbets. The nicely with which this
work is done, has excited the wonder of all
who know how very hard the flint rockis,
and that no instrument Of iron Or other hard
metal has ever been found, which was used
in making the arrow-heads, &C., that are
found in such abundance in this country and
part of Europe. Flint weapons have been
found in such abundance among the northern
European nations, as now to be an article Of
commerce in Copenhagen. Other relics SIM
liar to those Of our own country have been
found in Scotland, from which facts we may
reasonably conclude that the same race of
people at one time inhabited both Europe and
America.
