After travelling alongside of a beautiful spring rivulet for about 3 miles, 1 found this spot, but had to follow a track of two miles further to get assistance.

and it is the longest o age Oifar, ever performed by any pet son. Are the following propositions true? And if so, are not the best days of the Republic nun, beted? They are from i he New York Observer: Bopery is a political .'yslt i. despotic in its origination, anti-fhmocrutic, and autiripublifon, and cannot therefore coexist wiih American republicanism. The ratio of increase of papery, i the exact ratio o f U crcnc of civil lihoij. The (luminance of pepery in the United States is the certain destruction of our Jeer, institutions. ropery, by its organization, is wholly under the control of a foreign despotic sovereign. Austria. o;ic of the Hjly AUioncr f Sovereigns leagued against the hi .. . i -of the world, has the superintendence cf the operations of popery in this country. The agents of Austria in the United Stales are Jesuits and priests in the pay of that foreign power, in active correspondence with their employers abroad, not bound bv ties of an- kind to our government or country, but, on the contrary, impelled by the strongest motives of ambiiiop, to serve the interests of'a despotic foreign government ; which ambition has aheady, in one or more instances, been gratified, by promotion of these agents to higher cilice and w ealth in i'urepe. Bopery is a union f church and stale. nor can popery exist in this country in that plenitude of power which, it claims as a divine rigid, and which, in the very nature of tbe system, it must continually strive to obtain, until such a union is consummated. Bopery, on this ground, therefore, is destructive to our religious, as well as civil liberlv. Bopery is more dangerous and mere formidable than any pow er in the United Slates, on the ground that, through Is despotic organization, it can concen trate its ellorts for any purpose, with complete effect, and that organiz itiuii H'ing wholly under loreign control, it . . . -.i car. have no real svmpauiy witn any thing mcriean. The funds, and intellect, and intriguing rxperiencc of all papal arid despotic hurope, by means id agetds at this moment orgaiu.ed throughout our land, can at any time. be brought in aid of the enterprises of foreign powers in this country.

No wonder the New York papers thrive so handsomely, they each contain every day two or three hundred new advertisements. 1 ersons who have, their interest at heart will not begruge the trilling sum which an advertisement may cost. It not oi ly brings merchants, tradesmen, mechan ics, vVc. into public notice and procures them busines, but gives a thriving feature to the city, or village, and tells the world we are up and doing.

This forenoon they procured a cart in which they placed a cask of wine with a pump inserted at the bung, and forming a procession paraded thro the streets, with a large silk tii-colored
