Ore cannot avoid being amused to see

what eagerness the Clay editors erasp

at shadows. Some of Mr. Clay's friends lately held a meeting in Philadelphia, and

nominated their candidate unanimously: So such things are all a sham, as it is well known that no other candidate than Gen. Jackson has any chance for the votes of Pennst Ivania. Something, however, is necess'iry to revive the drooping spirits of the prty, and these shadows have to answer in the absence of any thing real.

Reigv or Terror. The Jackson party appear willing to carry it witli a high Ltiid: and, if they had the power, there is to knowing where would be their stopping

From the Utica Record r, So j t. 28. The New-York state Convention, so railed, held their session in this village last week. Considerable debate ensued, and some interest was manifested. Mr. Clinton was nominated for governor, and Mr. Talhnadge for lieutenant governor. We have nothing to do as partizans with the affiirsofthe convention; whetherthe nomination was wise or unwise, or whether it will prove for the interest of the parties concerned, or for the welfare of the state,

are questions which we shall not attempt j

to decide. Much less have we any thing to do, as politicians, with circulars or addresses: but the following passage from the address just issued by the convention, maybe suffered to speak for itself in the ears of moral and religious men of all parties. It relates to the present lieutenant governor, and to the candidate opposed to Mr. Clinton. "One of these candidates is habitually intemperate; a scoffer at the Christian religion; and through hi talent and official influence, deplorably successful in romtnminatins public moral-. And is it not more than the mere mi fortune of the other candidate that lie is found in such company?"

Historical Fact. It is commonly said, and universally believed that the first blond drawn in our revolutionary contest with Great Britain, was on the 19th of April, at Lexington arid nt Concord; hut tl lis is not the fact :-it was in the year 177:2, at Patucket, 7 miles below Providence, where two armed boats from that town attacked and destroyed his Britannic Majesty's aimed vessel the Caspce, whose commander, Duddinston, was shot down, ard who remained a cripple all his life from the wound. This vessel wore the colors of the King, and her commander his commission. As this is an undoubted fact, why has it been overlooked? The attack was in the night, the action short but severe, and thoc wounded on our side concealed. Thus was blood first drawn between the colonists and the mother country in the Slate of Rhode-Island, three years before the affray at Lexington.

WILLIAM HART ON' of Providence, wU (it is said in an KasUru paper) "has hern r tw !v. mccctnvr 3 ears pa' t imprisoned fjr hca- ) Mils of costs in the town of Dan&ville in the state of Un.m....Ni Y. rvrr.JOT. this revolutionary Hero,'" bays a wri- . lM l,:I!:illfrJ(Coni!.)

From the editor of the Cheraw Intelligencer, nvw m Jezv Jersey. While at Patterson, a circumstance occurn d which to me was of a most novel atid extraordinary nature. I was told, however, it was a custom of that place. A man flocked his wife severely. He was arrested and taken before a jury of twentyone women. They sentenced him to be whipt until he should appear perfectly penitent, and hep his wife's pardon on his knee. He refused. Seven cowskins were accordingly provided, and were actively employed by seven of the twenty-one women, on the bact$f the criminal. He still continued stubborn. Seven others then

took the cowskins and lashed him well Still he remained refractory. The remaining seven, with much energy then commenced operations, they fleeced him so severely, he was at length compelled to "surrender at discretion." They then ducked, and compelled him, on his knees, lo a.sk forgiveness of his injured wife. Whether or not the parlies were authorized, in this extraordinary measure, by law, I cannot say. It was generally considered a very just and salutary punishment. 1 should suppose that one or two repetitions of this summary and degrading punishment would effectually put a step to wife-whipping New-Orleans, Sept. 4. A considerable eboutis took place yesterday at the batture in front of Mr. Withers saw mill; it carried along with it the fine Steamboat United States, which was a-

groundonsaid batture. Ile boat is entirely lost, ard no hopes are evco ccter-

'Uie chief object oi "'this undertaking was si turned of savin j the engine.

Prcn the Philadelphia Reformer. A NEW PLAN RESPECTING PltAYINO. Private prayer, we should suppose,would be the last thing in which men would presume to intermeddle, or that they would attempt to arrange and systematize. But we live in a peculiar time: new plans and new inventions are constantly rising into bemgand if they do not in the end destroy all true religion, and leave only such remaining as existed among the Scribes and Pharisees of old, there will be cause lor much gratitude and thankfulness. The article which follows below noon r 11 ti

j iistied in most of our missionary papers,and I been extensively circulated in New Eng- ! land in a hand-bill. I ''Subjects for Prayer. Sunday Colleges, Schools and Theological Seminaj ries, Monday The heathen missions and j missionaries among the heathen. Tuesday

. Ascamuie cnurcnes ana places in unnstian couiitries. Wednesday Revivals. j Thursday Ministers. Friday Ourcountry, its councils and rulers. Saturday Our relatives, friends and acquaintances." It does not appear from the above that any time is alloted for a person to pray for I himself, that his own heartmay be purified land made right. Is this an oversight? or ; is it of no consequence what men are, and ! what is the condition of their hearts, pro- ; v ided they engage in what are called the 1 'benevolent schemes" of the day. Such an inference must necessarily he drawn by

any one who takes an impartial survey of what is now passing in the world. It is considered the principal evidence of a man's being a christian to be engaged in some of the various religious schemes of the day; and this too often is the only evidence of Christianity discoverable in him.
