Hur f rom the multitude of encouraging faci, the Committee have selected one,

t v. i : c i lacy mv.te the most serious attention. In t'oTies of war, all good peop!e p: :.y ir p-ace; in tii;ie3 of peace,

they thanlt God for the favnr praj that it may be continued, and thatthe predicted day mav come, when the nations shall learn war no more. Now if this practice is not an insult to the Almighty, war is reguded by prayinr; people as an evil to be deplored and dreaded; and peace is regarded as a blessing, -hich Gorl can five and render jiermuiier.r. If wars we: c inevitable occurrences, it w.ubl be as rreat lolly to prav that God would cause them to tease, as to prav that our daily wants ir.av be supplied by the transmutation ol stones into all the necessaries ar.d comforts of life. But if wars are not invi table, and never occur but by the criminal agency of men, our prayers should be accomp med widi all proper exertions to prevent their recurrence. Christians pray lor their daily bread; thev also cultivate the ground, sow good S'-e;I, inclose their fields with fence?, and readier the fruits of their industry in t'ne s:imh of harvest. Hes des these ordi narv means, Agricultural Societies are formed, uhich are patronized bv the ill lent and bv the state legislatures, to invesffMte and disseminate facts ard principle relating to the b-st ni'iliods for multiplying tb.e means of htrr.ai subS'stence and comfoit, and for preventing the evils ol paup.erism and famine. Why all this care and exertion, if pravng is si.bVien:? O ' rather, why not use simih.r means to preserve peace and prtvent Peace is not more depend it on the power of God, nor less dependent on the exertions of men, than our daily

bre.nl. In each case, prayer is proper, but, it not accompanied by other means, I

it must be unavailing "Whatsoever a man sowcth that shad he also reap." If we desire p- ace, we should sow the seeds ot pt ace, and cherish its spirit. To culti va e the pnnciph s rnd spirit of war while wc prav for peace, is as incongruous, as to sow th'odcs and pray fur a harvest ot v heat. V hat ail g od people pray tor, Peace S"cu-:ic3 are er.deav urir.g to ( fleet, by disseminating the principles and ddl'iising tr.e spirit ot pr-.ice; and by exposing and tradieat-ng th- bmelul principles and spir it ot war. Win then should n it their xenons be tneourr.g -d and patrotvz d by ad praying people, bv all men of v. eab.ii. and by every christian legislature? All accept. ble j)raers proceed from benevolent h arts. Tht y imply an avcrsion to war, and tend to incre ise that aversi: n. Su; h prayers in public ass; mb'.ics have a tendency to render var abhorrent in the view ot all who hear ai.d regard the n. Therefore, unless it is supposed that Peace Societies are mo: e sincere artl more in earnest in their (iesiu'i to prevent war, than people are v dio con'ent themselves with merely p'ai-g for peace, the objections to our efforts n:;ght a3 reasonably t)e urred n;;ainst the praytrs of all Christiana thtom bout the wfrhl. The glaring inconsistency b'tt.veen praying tor peace and stdl objecting to ex- rtious for obtaining the pr:z cannot much longer escape the general notice of good people, nor lad ot being corrected; and as swoo as professed Christians shall act in accordance with their own prayers, there will be a vast accession of strength to Peare Societies, nd an end to the wanton and disgraceful wars of Christendom. Then and not till then will the taunting bucanier be deprived of his self consoling plea, that the conquerer, whom the world applauds, is a more atrocious robber than himself, and that his own course ot depredation and murder is "conformable to the course pursued" in the wars of all christian governments.

Frmn the Herfcs ami ticiutjlkill Jnurrs'l. 1 he cotton goods manufactured in different parts ot the United State, have become celebrated, and many pieces have already found their way to the South American market. The Wilmington Stripe, made to imitate the Fast India seersucker, has been in such great demand that the manufacturer is unable to make it in sutficient quantities, in consequence of which the British maniuactureis have endeavored to imitate it, and have actually sent goods to this country invoiced and hearing the stamp "Wilmington Stripe." Thus we see our manufactures, which were but a few years ago in the most languishing state, already beginning to vie with those of Great Britain. Boston Fartv-tiTO merchants stripped

From late London papers. The Crown. The business of the police ofiice experienced another interruption in the course of Tuesday morning by the appearance of a wild looking and seemingly half starved man, with tattered garments, and closely shaved head, and without a hat, who, advanced with long strides to the Bench, desired to be heard while he made an important declaration. His appearance and manner rendered any order from the Magistrate for the most profound attention totally unnecessary, and the strange visitor, in a foreign accent, declared himself to be the true and rightful king of Great Britain. The magistrate asked him to favor him with his name. " My name, sir," thundered out the soi disse-it monarch, " is Philip Cromwell." " On! I suppose you are a descendant of Oliver Cromwell?" " Yes, he was my grandfather!"' And pn'y where arc you now residing ?" " Somerset house. But I came not here to answer questions ; I want to make my declaration in writing." He then looked about for writing materials, but none were given him. IWr. Hall asktd him if he had any family ? " Yes, the Q aeen and the Princesses are at Kensington." ilr. Hall asked h'm where abotits at Kensington, but he d el not answer distinctly ; and after a few observations, delivered incoherently, about the " steps" he had taken to recover h'i3 rights, he turned about and strode out of the ofTiee in spite of the efforts of iMr. Hall to detain him, by asking questions with a view to ascertain who he really was. He was a middle aged man.

Yesterday, Mr. King, a respectable butcher of Washington market, but who had been unfortunate in business, met his creditors, according to appointment, in our Marine Court, nhere, in their presence, he answered to certain interrogations. One cf the creditors said to him, "Mr. K. are ou willing to swear to all that you have said.'" "Certainly," said hr. The justice p-esentcd him the Bible, on which Mr. K. laid his hand, and while the justice was uttering the words of the oath, Mr. K. fell dead upon the floor!

TIIK KLKC I ION. TO THE CITIZENS 07 INDIANA. FJlow Citizen, The period will soon arrive, when by the provisions of the constitution, it will devolve on you to elect, bv vour svi'frages, an individual other than myself, to act as Governor of the state. During the time I have discharged the duties required of the Fxecutive of Indiana, it has ibern my anxious wish to promote that harmony ot feeling, which is so essential to public and private happiness ; and in the exercise of my official duties,

to deserve the confidence of the people i

of the state by a conscientious discharge of the important trust, which must shortly be committed to a successor of your own selection. In the official situation which I am shortly to leave, it became my duty to enter upon a scene before untried in Indiana. I'he constitution of the state, had necessarily to be brought into operation under the conflicting influence of the various opinions, which always attend every important change in the form of any government. Under such circumstances I must have erred. It must be admitted that all men, whatever may be the progress of experience, are subject in common to errors of the judgment. But whatever may have been the errors on my part, I feel a conscious pride that I have never erred in the exercise of a public trust, in any manner which has resulted to my private advantage. In the exercise of a public trust, I have always made my personal interest yield to the paramount consideration of the public welfare, and in soliciting the suffrages of the people, I seek that only to which other cit'zcaa of the state arc eligible.

I have been a candidate fcr some tims past, to represent the second Congressional District in the eighteenth Congress. If elected my services as such will not be required at the city of Washington until December 1 823, nearly eighteen months hence. In consequence of which, and the expectation that Gen. Hendricks would create a vacancy in the next winter's session of the 17th Congress, and in as much as the state can have but one representative until after the expiration of the next Session of Congress ; I have been frequently solicited, from different parts of the state, to consent to serve, if elected, to fill the vacancy, which Gen. Hendricks has lately created by resignation. My replies have been in substance, that I was as willing to represent the people of the state, during the vacancy of next winter, as they might be to elect me, but that it ras more immediately my wish, to represent the District in win- h I reside, if congenial with the interest and wishes of a majority of its citizens. Having sometime since, made such dtclarationa when enquired of, it is not for me to contradict them, especially as there exists no incompatibility, nor any other objection to the course, either legal or constitutional, except that preference which every elector has an undeniable right to exercise between candidates for the same office. When solicited on the subject ot the vacancy of next winter, for me to have said that I was unwilling to serve if, the people were disposed to elect me, would have been uneandid, and for me to have refused would have been ungrateful on my part and qualified to disappoint many of my friends. My object in this address is to prevent my views from being m'13 represented, as well as to prevent any deception from being practised upon those who have not made the subject of the approaching election an object of enquiry, in -elatio:i to the circumstance of the election taking place for the eighteenth Congress on the same d iv with the election for the vacancy of ucxt winter in the seventeenth Congress. To prevent any confusion growing out of the circumstance of both elections taking place on the first Monday in August next, it will only be necessary for a voter, to give in a ticket for that person whom he mav wish as his representative next winter " To represent the stare in the vacancy of the 17th Congress," and another ticket for the person whom he may wish to represent him winter after next "To represent the district in the I8di Congress." If elected, fellow citizens, I have only to assure you that I shall discharge my duty with fidelity and as much to your advantage as my abilities will enable me. Very respectfully, JONATHAN JKNNINGS. Cory dun, Junebth, 11122,

To the electors of the Second Congressional District of Indiana. Fellow-Citizens: I have lately concluded to offer myself as a candidate to represent you in the eighteenth Congress. I am not induced to make this tender of my services, from a belief that I possess talent? transcending those of many of my fellow citizens. All I can promise is that, should I be your choice, my utmost exertions shall be used to promote the best interest of the state. I have served the people of Indiana in the capacity of a representative in the territorial legislature, a judge of the general court of the territory, a member of the convention which formed our constitution, and a judge of the supreme; court of the state. In all the places of trust with which I have been honored, I can 3ay conscienciously, 1 have honestly endeavored to discharge my duty with fidelity. I may have often erred through mistake; hut have the satisfaction to my my intentions have been upright. During thirteen y ears residence amongyou, my character and conduct, both as a private citizen and aa a public officer, have always been open to j our investigation. I submit miself to your disposal, ar.d wdl acquiesce in your decision. Very respectfully Your obt. servant, JA.MKS SCOTT. July Sth, 1822.
