RELIOIOU 9.

A SUNDAY SCENE. Yesterday a German boy led his aged snil blind lather from the wharf up thnugh gtate-street to the Capital Park. From tLcir appeRrar.ee, it was evident they had just arived from the Fatherland, and were seeking a home in this country, to which all exiles flee. Sorrowing and infirm, the parent suffered his cheerful son to guide Lis tctterir-g steps. Time had dealt severely and frestily with the one the other it seemed to touch only to invigorate and adorn the blossom of the spring with the ripened fruit of the autumn. Under the shade of a largo tree, the boy seated the old man on the railing, and wiping the moisture from his face, sit down. He then took a well worn book from his pockt, and as the venerable man drew nearer to the youth, he read to him Hip word of life from the New Testament. Alone, far from their native land and far from their kindred, those exiles worshipped God in his own temple. The numerous bells were then inviting the citizens to church. A fashionable audience was collecting in a fashionable house of worship. Wealth and beauty were there. The matron and the maid condescend tn devote a few moments of a Sabbath morning to slander or to sleep. Does the listening cashier tremble for his soul! Can the meek and devout man in the pulpit bring his hearers to ralize the folly of this world or the next! Does the man of half a million, with wbited neck cloth and cadaverous cheek, who boasts of saving all that he pinches does he realize the source or destination of his wealth? Are not his descendants already chewing the scanty crust of penury and want! when winter chills, and the rude winds pierce their tender frames, as the miser counts his warm and sordid treasure, or laughs mechanically at an unappreciated jest, are they not destitute of a garment thai h2 is cenurious to bestow! rrom these reflections we turned again to the pilgrims in the Park. They wore knee'ins on the turf, with their faces resting upon the railing. The exiled patriarch, with one hand raised towards heaven, and the other resting at the head of his boy, was at prayer! Albany Evening Journal. From the Religious telescope. SECRET PRAYER. My object is to direct the mind to this important duty as enjoined by Christ. Matthew vi, G:"But thou. when thou prayest, enter into thy closet." To enter into our Closet means to some retired. spot, and there give ourselves to prayer.closing the heart 'from bitter envyings and the cares of this life. O, how solemn we should feel when about to commune with God. Cluistian, can you live without secret prnyer ? I far from the neglect of this many have fallen. If we neglect Christun duties the soul must starve. Secret prayer is food to the soul, which we cannot live without. To do w ithout our daily food would be impossible; the physical energy would be exhausted, and nature would thus perish. So with prayer, (secret prayer,) we cannot stand erect in this crooked and perverse generation.withoulit; we must consult God in all our deliberations. If secret prayer was more practized by members f Church, many evils tve might shun, having the Lord and his work a wavs at heart, we would not have time to fallout by the way, but as children, nourished and brought ep in the Lord, we would reflect the moral image of Christ. As I am but a youth, let me say to nw young friends, obt-erve the example of Christ.retir'mg for piayer. A Dmiel, and all the righteous that stand as brilliant lights in the world, were men of prayer. Then let us follow this holy example, it will nevei lead us int bad h-ibits or inculcate malignant dispositions toward those that delight to sport their time away in idleness and folly, who are found in the ball-room dishonoring God. My dear young friends, I exhort you to try secret prayer; consult the w ill of Him whose counsel cannot err, to direct you in 'heavenly pursuits. In this there is much joy. Reubes A. Mosf.r.

Stuyvesant. The! Death of Peter G Telegraphic wires. Tuesday, annoancpd ! the death of this old, respectable and ' w Fanny citizen. He left here about a week ago, w ith his wife and niece, on an excursion to the Lakes.and although at the age oi seventy-five years, was in the en joyment of excellent health. It appears ' ihat, at the time of his death, he was tinning in the '"Planning Dath," near the Hotel, and on search being made, found to be dead. The particulars were not given by the wires. Mr. S. was the lineal descendant of Gov. Stuyvesant, and the inheritor of a large portion of the family fortune. Next to Mr. Astoi, he was the wealthies ir.dvidual in this city, and probably one of the richest in this" country. His possessions in this city are vast indeed, principally In real estate, in the Eleventh, Sixteenth and Seventeenth wards. It is difficult to state how large an estate he has left, hut it will amount to sveral millions. Mr. S. has left a wife only, never, we believe, having had any children. lie was a gentleman of strict business habits, and attended w ith great fidelity to his vast landed estate. Since he came in possession of his patrimony, he has added greatly to its value by his skillful and rigid management. lie was a courteous, gentlemanly man,always moving in the most tespeclable circles. There will be a good deal of anxiety to know how he has disposed of his large estate. The Wti.r. or Peter Gerard Stcyvesant The particulars of the late Peter Gerard Stuyvesant's will, are as follows: To his wife Helen Stuyvesant, he has bequeathed the house and lot of ground in the Seventeenth Ward of the citvofNew Yo'k, where tho lady now resides; also a farm in the town of Harrison, Hudson county, X. J.; all his furniture, plate, printed books, wines. pictures, household goods, carriages, horses, and other live stock; and also tho stun of $12,OCO a year, to be paid quarterly. To Mar garet S. Gibson, the daughter of his deceased sister, Corneila Ten Broeck.hehas left an annuity of C250: to the American P.ible Society, $5,000: American Tract I Society, $1,000; Institution for the Blind, $a.C0O; Protestant Hall-Orphan Asylum, $5,000; all these sums to be paid within two years after hts death. To his nieces-in-law, Julia Stuyvesant. wife of Peter Stuyvesant. Augusta Stuyvesant, wife of Nicholas William Stuyvesant, and to his nieces, Catharine Ann Catlin, Helen E. Olmstcad, Margaret Polsoni. Susr.n I.e Roy, Margaret Neilson, Elizabeth Morris, and his nephews. John R. Stuyvesant. Rev. Petrus T. Ten Ilrneck, and Pcnjamin R. Winthrop. and Margaret S. Rutherford, onfi. half his lands lying in the city cf jew l ork. lo Ins executors Hamilton Fish, Gerard Stnyvesint and Lewis M. Rutherford, he has left the remainder f his property, on condition that the last shall hereafter make the name of Stuyvesnnt his surname. His real estate is estimated to be worth $2,000,000, ami his personal estate $300,000.--.,. I'. Express. Gen. Taylor's Idea of Prosecuting the War The following extract fiom the letter of Gen. Taylor to Gen. Gaines, written in November last, presents the views of Gen. Taylor as to the manner of prosecuting the w ar, and the benefits to be derived from the expenditure of blood and treasure necessary to Hog Mexico into a peace. It i not without interest nt his time , especially the passage in italics. 'If we are in th language of Mr. Polk

I think not; especially if the country we do subdue is to be given rip; and I nmtgine there are but fete indiridial$ in our country who think of annexing Mexico to the United Stales." Gen. Taylor' Letlns. mo of the papers in remaking upon Gen. Taylor's letters, state that there are two which have never been published; one directed to the War Department on the eve of tho battle of Bu ma Vista & the other to a dear and personal friend. When these letters were ritlen, it is ;iid General Taylor ha.l the greatest doubt as to the result of the dreadful and unequal encounter about to lake place, and these letters were intended in the event of his fall, to vindicate his memory after his body had been lai-J lifeless on the bloody battle field. We cheerfully join in a wish, expressed by nnnj that these letters be oiven to the public. They rightfully beI ',in2 1 lhe nation. They 8how,ohUes. that thia war was ignoran'.ly conducted. however necessary it nay have born. Th?" letters show that what we have said over and over again al the commencement of the Rio Grande expedition, that it wa a shame and disgrace to jeopard the lives of our soldiers, by obliging them to fight such fearful odds time and time again besides many other things of deep inter est to all people. Let us have these letters of Gen. Taylor, written solemnly and truthfully, before that great battle, in which a emmmder and an army escaped by thei, indomitable skill, courage, and , devotion ,o country.-Cr,. Cm. General Tayior.

not Know its factions. j We have now before ns a spectacle ofi no ordinary character We have a set of j politicians w ho pretend to believe that the prosperity of the nation dependsmpon the adoption of their own chameleon princi pies. We say the chameleon, for they are nothing else. There is not one Bin-. g'e inch of ground now held by eiiheir party, that has not been alternately seized upon and abandoned. The bed on which those Procrustean wish the'General to repose is one that Taylor w ill never accept. He does not mean that his legs shall be cut off or lengthened at the pleasure of any cartizan tyrants. He prefers to stand on his ow n feet and on his own ground, indifferent to the call of ambition, but alive to the dictates of honor. In consequence of this manly position, the ultras on both sides are at present nnw illing to take him up. It will only be in the last resort, that lie will receive a nominat'mn fiom any patty convention. If the Whigs adhere to Mr. Clav, the Democrats ill take up General Taylor and elect him, for his popularity will draw thousands of votes fiomthe Whig ranks. If the Whigs nominate him, there will be scarcely the show of an opposition. There is nothing whatever in the Gen erai's course, which should prevent him from receiving the nomiation from either convention. If he receives it, it is without understanding arrangement pr pledge, and it is a step that either parly is at liberty lo take. It is, however, a matter of moonshine that they do. The people of the United States have resolved to make Zachary Taylor their next President, and all the intrigues to prevent it are but tricks that w ill "return to plague the inventors.'' Gen. Taylor We perceive that Gen. Taylor wms nominated for the Presidency, by the Democratic Convention of HattforJ county. Md., which was helJ at BelAir, on the 17th inst. Death of Goc. Dorr. The Eastern papers announce the death of Thomas W. Dorr, of Rhode Island, of a disease be has been long rdfiicted w ith. He is now at rest. <Melancholy Occurence[sic]>. The Dayton Transcript of Saturday last, records a very melancholy occurence [sic], which happened on Wednesday previous, and is detailed substantially as follows: Mr. Wilson, a teacher in the town of Middletown, with his wife and child were travelling in a buggy on the tow-path of the Lebanon Canal, when, the horse took fright, backed into the Canal, upsetting the buggy and precipitating the wife and child into the water. The Canal being deep and the j horse becoming entangled in the harness, Mr. Wilson not being able to swim, found it impossible to extricate either his wife or child. He therefore ran about a quarter of a mile for help. On returning to the scene of the disaster with aid, he found his child floating near the edge of the Canal apparently lifeless, yet warm it appeard [sic]the mother, true to the instincts of nature, had put forth her dying effort to save her child, by trying to cast it up on the shore, but in vain. The body of Mrs. Wilson was found, but the vital spark had fled. The horse was drowned. ——————— <The Rhubarb Plant>.— The fourteenth nmulei of Itraithwait Retrospect, o l radical .uei'icinc anu rurrery, coniatns ; p n,1! consequently tlioso who eat nr ticleo of fnod made of the plant, nml drink such water, are introducing int their system, tho constituent ingredients of the mulberry calculus, which is an oxilale of lime; and if they are dyspeptic, and nnablt to d;gest t lie acid, "are; very likely indeed, to i-n ur the pain and the exceeding peril of a renal concretion of that kind."

manner, or both, that we ever heard from mortal lips. It was directed to a defence of his vote against war supplies, to the maintenance of the fundamental principle of free government, that the representatives of tie people must judge of the propriety of objects for the attainment of which they are called on to furnish means a principle for which he solemnly declared, he was ready to lay down his life i j as did our forefathers of the Revolution; I j and lo the consideration of the practical I I means of preserving the Union from the i ' overthrow threatened by the acquisition jof new territory in the prosecution of the s , Mexican War. On this point, he concur red wiih Mr. Schenck and the resoulutiou of the meeting, lhat nosafe plan of redemption remiined, but that of refusing 10 take any portion of Mexican territory. On the blessings of lhe Union, on lhe duty to preserve it, and on the means of its preservation, his eb'quence seemed super human. Never before was assembled an audience so solemn, so rapt, so deeply moved; and. on the cheeks of the old; the middleagetl and the young, rolled down torrents of tears as the eloquent and patriotic truths of the noble orator of the people fell from lips that seemed almeel in- , spired. 2 Dut we feel how vain and presumptua j ous the attempt to describe such a speech. . I Some idea of its eloquence and power and t-ne-ci may oe rnrerreu, tnougii not realized, by the fact that every one who heard it, declared it lhe ablest speech he ever delivered; and to say that Mr. Corwin far surpassed himself is the highest enlogium : i that can be pronounced upon his effort. It was certainly superior in nbility to his 2 : speech in the Senate; and it wou'd be '! worth more to this country than the exi ' penses of this Mexican war, could it be 1 1 pt inted verbatim and given to every man, I woman and child in lhe land. It should be put In the hands of school boys for all time to come, and il would be appropriate i j both to the Sunday school and the pulpit. , The Whigs of Warren County have made a renewed declaration of the faith that is in them the faith by which they have directed their political course hitherto and by which they w ill be guided ! hereafter. We have no doubt lhal this expression will bp responded to throughout the Union, and we think we assume nothing in saying that the Whigs of Warren have expressed the sense of the entire Whig party of the great and growing State of Ohio. The resolutions of the meeting are in the words following. 1. Resolved, That the usurpations of power by the President of ihe United States, and lhe wanton abuse by hit administration of sound moral and political principles, have involved the conntry in an alarming crisis, which threatens lhe permanency of our National Union, and the perpetuity of our Republican institutions. 2. Resolved, in the language of Henry Clay in his letter on the annexation of Texa, "That we regard all wars as great calamiies to be avoided if possible, and honorable peace as the wisest and truest policy of ih country. What the United Stales mot need, are Union, Peare and Patience." 3. Resolved, That we view existing war! wiih Mexico, as the result of a most flagrant violation of the Constitution bv lhe Executive uncalled for by the 'rue interest or honor of the country disastrous, both in its immediate and ultimate consequences.to the best interest of the Nation, : and if not arrested, terminating m a question which must di.iract and dissnver the Union. .Resolre,l fha we regard the 9nn-

t.on of Texas, as the primary f the war and the march of theMm.v ir. m Corpus Chr-sti to the Rio Gra.ule' ,s its immediafe cause, and adoptipj: the cae of Senator Benton, we c. ;.".n , , it lt."As an unjust war. 2nd.That it i. ?, ar wnccnstitmicnally made. 3d. 1 1 m it v a war upon a weak and gtcur.ciths rivtext." - 5. Resoived. that the predirtinr rf Whig Statemeii that the annexation f Texas would involve us in war.nr.l w-vM be the precursor of further attmj t- of i! party in power to acquire by cin qwi a part, if not the whole of the Mexican Umpire. 6. Resolved, That we snlemnlr iVt ln'tf lo lhe world that from high moral i i -ciples, 8s well as from our Tiew? i-f s-nt:t!l National I'olicy, we are iinch:?".b-' opposed to the annexation of any Tsrntory to this Union, either directly !- fAt -quest. or indirectly as a payment i-f 'bo expeucesof the war; but, if addition ! D-r. ritory 6e forced upon us we w ill d that ''there shall neither be slavery mir i". voluntary servitude therein, '.' ir i.? than for the punishment of crime '' 7.

Resolved, that the fidelity v r;li which our principles have been reproT.ted and our interests advocated by .';- Hon. Robt. C. Schenck in r...,gress entitles him to our gratitude. T'm his acknowledged talents and unflinching i ntfgrity have secured lo linn a enviable renown and are sure gnarau'it-H of his future usefulness, Cin. Atlas. A Great BonJ;. A man by the n.i f Smith, probably the veritable John Siui'b, has published a notice in a New Ymk paper that he is about to publifh a li..nk. A p.rt of lhe leading features of this grr.:i work Mr. Smith thus sums up: "I show how the operations of our w n system are performed -how the h !.tning of heavpn nets what gravitation i ; how heat and light comes from the..'!lhe aurora horeali; l ow the heavenh 1 dies obtained iheir form and motion, atol thus help Leplaceout ol all hi diOnllies.
