THE BELL RINGERS OF CHRIsT CHURCH.
The celebration of the birth of Gen.
Geo. Washington WAS observed, as usual,
at Christ Church, by the ringing Of that
old (aud indeed the oldest in the United
S,ales) peal ofthe bells, under the sound
of which the immortal hero was wont to
worship his Maker.
We may say. in addition, upon un
doubted authority. that this ancient peal
will shortly reach the centennial period
of their arrival in Philadelphia, having
been brought here by Captain Budden,
Nov. 18th, l754 They are now in per
feet order. and are no, to he surpassed
in tone by any peal in America or Eu
rope.
A small card, exhibiting the effects Of
age, was handed to us, yesterday. by an
intelligent and courteous ringer at this
time honored temple Of religious wor'
ship, bearing the heading of"Chr'st
Church." Following. were these words:
-"Capt. Budden brought over from
England the bells now in Christ Church

ment to his generosity the bells were al
ways ruug merriIy whenever his ship

Vernon Democratic Banner. a paper
which our neighbor Of the Eagle was
fond of fquoling few weeks since as one
Of the "best democratic papers in Ohio,
says:
"More than one.third ofthe time spent
in legislsting, for the last few years. has
been occupied in qnarrelling about the
public printing; and hence the item of
expense upon the public treasury, in adj.
dition to the actual cost of printing, has
been equal to about one third of the
whole expense of legislation. To rem
edy this evil. the people demanded the
constitutional provision requiring final
settlement of this annoying question. and
we hope the legislatnre> will dispose of
this matter without further delay"
Agair. the same paper, after quoting
the constitutional provision, says:-"This
provision we hope to see carried out in
good faith" We commend the extracts
to our neighbor. -...

lone, 'to carry the War into Africa,"-
Among his first attempts at this game, he
tried it on the editor of the Mount Yer.

tho tables, and The Statesman man may
Console himself with the reflection that
1.-THE Dutch has taken Holland" The
Banner says: @
"The Statesman's illusions 10 what il
is pleased to term "some remi inscences
connected with last Falls election" and
its insinuation that we were tho cause OF
the election ofMr. Hurd to the judgeship
in this district. comes with an exceeding.
ly bad grace from one who sanctioned
and sustained the corrupt coalition that
defeat the regular Democratic nominee
and elected an abolitionist to fill his place
in the Senate of the United States. Al.
though we esteemed Judge Hurd as a
gentleman at the bar, as well as in the
relations of social life. we nevertheless
opposed his election upon political prin'
ciplrs, while we sustained with all our
ability. the regularly nominated demo,
