declaration appears to hare been very

necessary, if he wished the thing stated to be believed, t cr my own part, 1 rcver should have thought of such a thing it he had not positively asserted it. And now, as it is brought into notice, we all have a right to form our own cpiiiions, whether the manner in which he has treated the subject was required bra correct conscience ;or any icspoiisibiltty under ivhich he acted. The next speech is attributed to Harlan. On looking over the two ascribed to Krcider and Harlan, it would seem that one common genius produced them both: but expending its poweis.on the first, and from some mysterious partiality giving it to Kreider, Jlarlan could do nothing more than jfollow in his trick, and say the same thines over axrain. I am not aware of j one single original idea contained in the last speech. He does to be sure go considerably beyond his predecessor in vulgar abuse, but even the ground work of this was put into Kreider' s speech. The only originality in it seems to be in calling approbious names. He calls the friends whose names were io the bill "the self-st led Simon Pures oflhc land." He charges us with design of committing "the Hack fraud'7 to obtain our purpose spurious, avaricious sect" that it was 'a disgrace" (to the Ilicksites) that'such a party ever emanated from thcrr Ate. Such a speech is beneath a distinct reply- but to leave him in as comforta tie a state of mind as possible, I can assure him that be need not give himelf any uneasiness about the charac ter of bis Ilicksites friends. We never emanated from them, having never been of their Society. Whatever their character is they have it all themselves. Men of common sense and common honesty will never suppose that the undivided yearly meetings of .London, llublin, Mew England, YirJ'inia and North Carolina, and the year y meetings of New York, Philadeldia, Baltimore, Ohio and Indiana are a mere party that have left the JTicksifc Society, which is now but little over five years old, and consists f disowned persons from the yearly meetings of New York, Philadelphia, Saltimore, Ohio and Indiana. i To those who have reflected but little on the nature of incorporations, it tnny not be improper to remark, that an act of incorporation affords to the property of an association or society, the same kind of protection and securi ty which the laws in common afford to the property of individuals. And no mm who is satisfied with living in civilized society and enjoying the protection which the laws extend over his person and his property, both real and personal, can consistently object to liaving the property of a compiny equally protected. But as unincorporated companies or associations are not known or recognised in law, the property which they hold as such, is not under the same protection as the property of individuals. . Our Society has always declared that civil government, was. of divine appointment, and designed to promote the security, happiness and best interests of the human family. If this opinion is correct, it must follow that the benefit alluded to, may properly be and indeed ought to be extended to all the affairs of human life. The objection raised by some per son, either ignorantly or designedly, of i a connection of military force with such incorporations is entirely sophistical and unfounded. The man who takes a deed for a farm he has purchased, is as obnoxious to this objection as the company or society which applies to a 'legislative body for an act of incorporation. And he who quietly sits by his own fireside under the protection of the law, violates the testimony which wc maintain against war, as much as the company or society, which discharges the duties of a trust, under the safeguard and security afforded by an - act of incorporation.

A London practitioner says, My plan La been to give 15 grains, rdbbed in a draught, with a lump of sugar and a wi. e glass full of cold water, and this first step, if taken promptly, will scarce, ever ud to arrest the progress of the disease." . The Coort of Appeals, consisting of the Governor and Council of the State of New Jersey, have determined to bold a special court in the summer. for t'.ir trial of the cause usually known as ketwec n tbe Hicksite Friends, as appellants, and the Orthodox 1- rtrtda appellees. Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy.

PALLADIUM. SATURDAY, JUNE. 15, 1833.

We are authorised to announce that ABL LOMAX, is a candidate to represent this county, in the House of our next legislature. Col. WILLIAM STEELE, is also a candidate for tbe same office. ft is generally understood that J AMES RARIDEN, is no longer a candidate for congress. 1 be contest is now between Messrs. Smith and M'Carty. The trial of Avery occupied just four weeks, a longer tiroe perhaps than any other criminal case has taken up, in this country. One hundred and nine witnesses on the part of tbe prosecution, and one hundred and thirtv-two in behalf of! the accused were examined. The jury were charged on Saturday June 1. On Sunday at 12 o'clock they returned a verdict of not guilty. CCrThe GREAT I, Abner Haiues.Esq. again requires a passing notice at our bands. He shall have it ; and if we should call things by their right names, we hope our patrons will excuse us, for we assure ihem that nothing but dire necessity would ever have induced us to notice him at all. He again taunts me with the idea of having a "privy council." To this asser tion I have before given the lie direct, and he is too consummately mean to en deavor to prove himself guiltless of false hood, in any other way than by repeat ing the slander, without the shadow fa proof. I again tell him that 1 hare no "privy council," and he who asserts to the contrary, I brand as a base and in famous liar. Abner charges me with ingratitude to the society of Friends, and for proof, says that when I charge him with "compound ing with felony," "the charge reaches back to those who recognised him as their agent." This may be, but I have never charged him with that crime. Perhaps he is not guilty of it. If a man commits a ciime ignorantly, he may l.e amenable to the laws; but morally he is guiltless. One word to the society, who employed Abner to pursue Harris : You employed him with no other idea than that h was the true friend of emancipation, and willing to. use every exertion in aid of suffering humanity. He no doubt so passed himself upon you ; and being a stranger at the time, you readily believed him. Sometime in the month of August, 1832, Mr. Haines came to this place, in company with two Kentuckians. in search of a negro slave. He used every exertion to recover the forlorn, destitute, wayworn fugitive from beastly servitude, and send him again to the task master. Whether he volunteered his services or not, I am unable to say; but I presume if he claims any merit for pursuing Harris, after being well paid for it, he will not pretend to parry the demeritoC assisting to capture a friendless fugitive, who had never done him or any other man harm, and whose only crime was a skin a little darker than his own. Mr. Haines is a lawyer 1 know, but is it probable that a real friend of emancipation, one who detests and abhors the evils of slavery as much as he pretends to in his famous ''narrative," would be hired with any price, no matter what were his situation, to send a fellow crea ture into perpetual servitude who had been guiltv of no crime

Adjourned to Tuesday evening next, at early candlelight to the Methodist meeting bouse. On the evening of the 11th, pursuant to the adjournment of the previous meeting, the citizens again assembled nd Drs. Warner and Lindsey made the following report.

That thev had visited the town of Brownsville and had (among other things) ascertained the following facts, that about 1U days previous the cholera made its first appearance, the whole number of cases were 27, 2 Jeaths, 7 remaining ill, 1 or 2 dangerous only; no more cases since the evening ot the 8th. Little excitement existing in Brownsville, and a general reliance on the effiecacy of medicine when early applied to, The Committee appointed at the previous meeting, by tbe 4th. Kesolu tion incline toward the expediency of preparing a suitable House dec. Ke port progress, and ask to be continued which is granted. Resolutions were then adopted ten dering the respect of the citizens to the Physicians aforesaid; urging the advantages of care and cleanliness on part of all persons; the publication of the proceedings in part thereot made, the directions of the Board of Health and an adjournment to a time to be designated by the Board ot Health. On the morning of the 10th. the President and Trustees of the Town of Richmond convened, approved the appointment of the Board of Health and the proceedings of the meeting generally. The Board of Health appointed Robert Morrison their President and J. D. Vaughan Secretary. Io the Citizens of Richmond the Board recommend prudence, temper ance and cleanliness in all things; a ajsHiuc uiot. hvit) ou tneir premises and application to the best advice on the first approach of premon itory symptoms. On the part ot the Board they promise to render prompt ly and cheerfully all the assistance in their power and to perform all the du ties assigned them to the best ot their abilities. Yet they would earnestly impress upon the minds of the citizens the utter inefficiency of the Board unless aided and seconded in their efforts by the citizens generally. There is no occasion for feverish excitement on the part of the citizens; such a state of mind is ever injurious to health, and its opposite apathy is equally delete rious and would paralize all exertions of the Board. A middle state it .sourj duty and interest to fill, to prepare 1 ,cf,- kl tha rni- nf "j - r 1 - j the pestilence, making proper use of all the means placed within our knowl edge and reach, and excluding all frightful apprehension, irom experience furnished us by the action of the disease in ether towns and cities, we are led to believe that by a proper ex ertion on our part, much can be enectcd, but our efforts must be steady, enceasing and united. There is no profit attached to membership of the Board of Health, but on the contrary there is loss of time, anxiety, labor and expo sure. And the members have no more interest at stake than the citizens gen erally. Let not then the citizens ibid their arms and say "we have a Board of health; they will do all that can be done; nothing is required of m' The Board say too much ought not to be required of them, and if it u they can effect nothing without the co-op-

yis-ieratioa ol tne citizens, wur wwn is a notoriously healthy one, and we think

we have (with proper exertion on our part) as little to dread as tbe inhabi tants ofaay town. Tbe experience of Brownsville is encouraging rather than otherwise, it lost out of 27 cases but 2 inhabitants, and both these individuals Mr. Walling and Esquire Sangston, not aware of the reality of tbe disease that attacked them, neglected the warnings of the premonitory symptoms. Admit a large proportion of the '27 cases were even not strongly marked cases of premonitory symptoms, still they appeared to be premonitions of the Cholera, and yielded to medicine, and under every vie w of the case the disease was mild comparatively speaking. To these other than die inhabitants

' l of our town, we say we have not within our limits, bad of late one single case of even doubtful import, not one suspected of being Asiatic or spasmodic Cholera, or premonitory symptoms of tbe same. That we make no cold busines calculations on the subject, put not disease and human life in COO petition with ideas of pecuniary interests. But on the contrary, should tbe Cholera enter our suburbs, we will instantly, (on being apprised of the fact) announce the same, and from time to time, candidly publish its progress,that all whom it may concern, may govern themselves as to them may seem meet. By order of the Board. R. MORRISSON, Presl. J. D. Vacohah, Secretary. We understand that yesterday afternoon, in the case of CLOUGH, the murderer of Mm. Hamilton, after an hour's absence, the Jury returned at 2 o'clock, into Court with their Verdict, which was GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.

The W anderino Piper. There is an interesting character at present attracting the attention of the people of the New England States He gees by the title of the Wandering ftpcr, and may in a short time pay a visit to this city, in a professional way; when, it is to be hoped, for the sake of our national charactei, he will meet encouragement. He is said to be quite proficient on the Union pipes and has attracted crowds to listen to his music. Report states that he is a gentleman of the first standing in England, and has assumed his wander ing vocation on account of a dispute between himself and a French noble man, concerning the hospitality of certain nations. The result of this dispute was a bet of 5000 between them, and the Frenchman is now travelling on the continent of Europe, while tbe Englishman, having made a tour of England and Ireland, is feeling the pulse of the Yankees, lie is to return to England next fall, when the result of the wager will be known. He appropriates all he receives for charitable purposes, and has already given something to the Institution for the Blind of Boston. Vouchers are taken for these donations and the one to whom the most is voluntarly given is to be the winner of the bet. Mornr Visiter. Love's Labor Lost. A serenad ing party, the other night, after having played before a house for nearly an ... fkolticiy infoiuied by the considerate watchman that "nobody lived there.'''' The ladies of Bennington, Vt. to the number of six hundred, united in petitioning the Board of Excise of that town to license no persons to vend strong drink. The board accordingly refused to grant any licenses. PETERSBURGtl,(Va.)Jone I. New Wheat. Harvest cummer ced in this vicinity J esterday morning.

Cholera.- We have no new information to communicate on the subject of the Cholera. The three last davs of last week, were very damp and very sultry. There were five or six deaths, rather unexpected, from Saturday to yesterday afternoon; some of them were' probably Cholera. But no a larrn pervades the city. It has abated at Lexington, as well as at May&ville, Wheeling, and Nash-. ville. Some cases have occured at Stubenville, and in other parts of the interior of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Tennesee. Vigilance and courage must be put in requsition to meet it. With these, and with proper remedies, the best hopes may be encouraged. Cincinnati Gazette June II. Brctalitt.
