Another unsuccessful attempt lias been made to assassinate I,enis Philippe, by a voting man named Alihean, a native of Lyons. The Infernal Machine was a musket cane, the muzzle of which w-s placed in the window of the carriage in which his Majesty was sitting, and discharged. The paifez vows' don't take aim like our backwoodsmen. The French government have imprisoned a poor man callinir himself Loui.l?th, and who has instituted lesral proceedings ngainst the Duchess de Angouleinc, daughter of Louis l(tb, to recover a share of her father's succession. The trial between the Hon. Mr. Xor1on and Lord Melbourne, (instituted by the former for the recoverv of damages for the alleged seduction of his wife) has resultel in favor of the latter. The celebrivf the parties, the youth, beautv and talents of the lady implicated, have given this ease an exciting interest. The Moody character of the civil war in Spain, is appalling. Since its commencement in 1S."):, to the 1st of April, I8:?(i, there were killed on the field of battle (on both sides) IMS, 100 mcn, and iM,111 made prisoners. " Su cuius Revenue." Our neighbor, of the brilliant Sum, is a reputed oracle l that learned, temperate and very usifal politician, ham!! .noon, who is said to covet a seat with his inf riors. ("lav, Calhoun and Webster, in the Senate of the United Stales! and notwithstanding this panic HatliiV denounced Mr. Clay's L-and Hill, he afterwards voted to distribute the surplus revenue thus depriving our State of about a million of money the bill of Mr. Clay would have secured in addition to the sum now granted. Wo advert to this to demonstrate the evident consistency of Ileum and our neighbor the one declared in his published letter, there w ould be no surplus in the treasury the other in his last paper wants to know what disposition will be made of our share of it.1 If such politicians could influence the people, what a deplorable condition would rustic very soon? but il is to be hoped tiic great body of the people know more than this oracle and his chief. A Washington Citv paper, in allusion lo the course of the Van Huron f iction touching this matter, exclaims "No surplus! After this, what assertion is too intrepid for a Van Iltironitc? What would not the man assert, w ho asserted there would be "no surplus?'' Tkkasvry Df.partmkxt, August 2d, I8:ir.. In conformity with the resolution of the Senate, passed July 1st, 183(5, directing that "during the ensuing recess ot C ongress, the Secretary of the Treasury cause to be published, at the commencement of each month, a statement of the amount of money in the treasury subject to draft, and also the amount standing to the credit of disbursing officers," the undersigned hen lv gives public notice that "the amount ol money in the treasury subject to draft, as fdiown by the running account of tinTreasurer, w as, on the 1st instant $30,- ).., S45 05, and "the amount standing to the credit of disbursing officers" as shown by the latest returns received, was S3, 075.730 23. LEVI WOODIUTUY, Secretary of the Treasury. An election for officers to the Compain of the Vincennes Wues, takes place this evening at the Court House, at early candlelight. As many of the members of the Company as can make it convenient to attend, should do so. A thing of such acknowledged utitiiy, as a well disciplined volunteer Company is to a place, should never be suffered to die away from careless neglect, and we trust there is more than a sufficiency of military spirit existing here, to have as good a Company as the State can boast of. A liberal sum should be subscribed bv the citizens of the place, to purchase instruments for the formation of a musical band. As we had expected, the result of the election in Knox county, is now being blazoned about thorough the administration organs, as the greatest victory ever won, knowing as they do (at least as the first promulgator, our neighbor of the Sun does) that the greatest of victories was gained by the assistance of at least two hundred Harrison men, known as such, and which could not have been achieved in anv other way.

"The fear of the LORD is to hate evil." "Rv the fear of the LORD men depart from evil." "The fear of the LORD is a foun tain of life, and temleth to life." Bible The fictid, the chief of wisdom or knowledge is reference of t.OD: sotict tude to please the all perfect JEHOVAH This fear, reverence, solicitude produces and nourishes a livtred of e vu and a cor respondent desire and tendency and effort to depart from evil. It, therefore, is spring, source, or fountain of life, and leads or flow s on to lite, that is, a rondi ion of excellence and herppinrss. Such a principle will prompt one to learn and practise whatsoever things are pare, lore lit, honest, just, true, of good report, vir nous and vrai-tcirortha. I take it for granted, that, children are to be taught led, encouraged and assisted, or even, if not otherwise, compelled, to act in aceor dance with good prinriples. Now, what so certain, so self-sustaining agency can be m onoraUon lor a regulator ol action as OOOD I'RLNCIPI.E nelualif f,tH Rrin ciple rooted in the heart, vigorously flem ishing in the mind is the paramount power in human character. If the ruling prin ciple be icious, law s, human or Divine are but feeble barriers. And, if the mas ter principle be right, its iniluenee will be pow erful on the side of virtue. No one w ill advocate a system of effort to se cure croad conaact, w hich designedly ennts to implant, ami cultivate good principles a: the source ef right action. If we weudd effectually regtdate eon elnet, we must, then, term vigorous prin ciples. Intelligent persons will have one questiem on this subjee't: what shall he the oasis or root ed these principles. lor, as to the time of commencing, 1 hunk all will agree that it should he in youth or even childhood, not to say. as probably might, in the buddings ef infancy. Am if it shonlel be commenceel then, most cer tainly the professional teachers of yeuiig should m no small degree labor to see'tire this all important point. Securing a good reputation, may be prepesed as : basis on w hich to establish gooel principle of aedon. Securing our own self appro batten, may also be proposed as a root eil right principles. I do not reject these Hut, if anv one takes the ground, that citiKt ol" 'c:-c, ui l.ilv of iln in together. are suih.re nt tor elte'cting a practical cen tred of life intei habits ed' virtue. I deny dial such has been the fact, or (hat such a re.-ult can be rationally expecte'il. 1 ailirm. tha', the Bible view of this subject e x pivsscd in the passages ipuiteel at the beginning id' this artie-le, is the only rationalone, ami. that, while any either is inaele fundamental, there will be a failure ed course. My position, then, is. that tin first, chief ami leading item of wisdom, ira proper n'gard for OOD. Now, a proper regard for COD, certainly is not sued a regard as is taught Ivy some teae hers ev. systems of religion. I am neit a partisai of starts or dogmas. I take up lite llibh as I woulel any other book, anil, by the same kind of means, I see k its moaning. and yiehl iny mind to the impressions id as sentiments. The Hiblc introduces us to COD, as the Creator, Preserver ami (iovernor ed the worhl: As the Law-giver and Retributive Judge of man: As the all-regarding all-wise, kindly-affect ioned, philanthro pic i A i llr.R of the human lainily, ami the supremely benevolent Parent of all intelligent beings. He can frustrate anv scheme w hich He disapproves. He can secure the successful result of anv plan which He approbates. The principles ef His government are immutable, His statutes of moral import are now irrepeal able and not to be amcmled. The final consequences of actions in regarel U) future condition not le be avoieled. The POWER ami nxed PURPOSE of COD, then, im pose on us a NECESSITY of acquainting ourselves with IHM, anil being at peace, that thereby good may come to our sends. t.OD, having a perfect knowledge of all possible results of all proposed plans ami efforts, is competent to give us tlirortious which will infalliby guide the teach able ami obedient, to true wtlllare real happiness perpetual felicity. His phi lanthropy regards all our concerns; His affectionate kindness pours forth the unerring counsels of His infinite wisdom, from the- overflowing fullness of a firm, UMCiligent PATERNAL LOVE. Authority, Reason, Self-interest, Duty. ami Enjoyment, biuel us to make1 regard for GOD our principle of sede authority in our course of life. The habit of considering our life in this worhl as a term of apprenticeship or pupilage where the character we form will proeluec everlasting results of joy or pain. accompanied with a realizing sense of the constant nonce and regard of the Supreme Arbiter of our final condiiievn, would supersede the iniluenee of much ed' mere human V temporary, sensual ajul exclusively i selfish motive. The soul would be liberated from an otherw ise constraining ihral-l elom to ev il or vanity, ami constant y mvigorated for a more elevated walk. and more extensive range, ami more' noble elevoteehiess in every way of AVELL DOINO. The character of COD n manitested in the appearance of Jesus Christ is a faultless exhibition of excellence.

The Rule1 which COD has given to di

rect us in the only one which offers any rational prospect ed our attaining to real welfare. It is incontrovortibly true, that "(ioelliness is profitable unto all things, having promise ed" the life that now is, anil of thai which is te) come." Just so certain as it is that these remarks are substantially correct, so certain is it that the Fear of COD is erne thing to be taught in our common schools.

Mr. Caddington: Nay, "there is nothing new under the sun" said my venerable friend, after peru sing- with attention Ratlin noon s late speech in Congress, in which he boasts ed the title of "or eo?."

Hut nothing id' this Locke only desires that teachers should instruct their pupils on the subject of religion; and without ael verting to our school fund or its situation, llis remarks require brief commentary. All christian sects "have a rule of au thority in the Hible for a foundation;" and there arc ten teachers utterly unqualitieil to lecture upon religion, for erne who doi not belong to a christian sect. Each sect we all know, think its own creed the true religion; ami this "Locke" does not di tinetlv ile fine his own meaning of that term! Now, it is proper to ascertain what particular creed, loundeel as all christian creeds are, upon passages of Hible truth that writer woulel establish: ll he meam the true and certain precepts of christiani ty "do unto others as others shonlel elo un lo us," he is correct, and ought to say so Hut if every common school is to be ren elereel a nest of sectarian theologists, reli gietus fri'edemi, liberty of conscience, may add, our republican government, can not long endure.

This phrenetic measure was resisted at its ineeptijn. Mr. Madison drew the admirable pctilion against its adoption, containing those holy truths which lay at the bottom of all the human striii-ture, but are too holy to be infused into, and make part of, it. It was fully circulated, anil as fully Kiihseribi-d by numerous petitioners; for its light penetrated every village and county and hamlet of Virginia. That light rolled back its volume upon the distempcred mind of the Legislature of the State.

The multiplicity of our various sects was ae-kiiewvh'dgeel to be the liest security ngainst particular intolerance anil oppression, liigotry and prejudice were subdued; and the mild effulgence of the (iospcl of Christ shed its benign ravs, with equal gladness, upon the hearts nf all its followers. All nature's discord gave all nature's peace." MOB IN CINCINNATI. We learn from the ( 'incinnati papers that a scene of violence teteik place in that City on Saturday night hist, w hich was attended with serious loss ed property. It is known to our readers that Mr. Hirxf.v's Printing establishment at New Richmond, about twenty niih-s f'reun Ciumnati, was ite stroved win' two en- three weeks ago by the populace. Mr H. immeeliaii'ly comnienectl the publication ed' his ptiper in Cincinnati. Considerable I'M-iteinent was produceel there by it, and a public meeting was called, which was very respeiMably and numerously attended, at which a resolution was adopted, -:: I ii 1 1 j i: Min Mr. Hirney to dise-ontinue the publication of the; I'hilianihropis,' in ihat pbte'e at the same time informing him that the'V could not be responsible fur any viuieT.ee that might take place upon the longer publication of the paper. Mr. Hirnev ami the Abolitionists rcl'useel to ;ieci'ele to tliis ri'solution, and heilee the sei ne which we stated had occurred. The populace collected about ft o'clock and through the night until Sunday liiornning eoruinueel the ir depredations. ThePrinting Office ed' the Abolitionists was entirely destroyed. the presses were' throw n into the river and the types into the streets. They also tore tlown five r six houses eiceupieil by free negroes. AV e do not w ish to be undtrsiood tis advocating or apologsmg for acts of this elescription, but when men will act in the manner in which Mr. Hirney is described to have done, we; must attribute it more to his own folly than to any oilie r cause'. He hael received a timely and suliiei nt warning, and as he eliel not conform to the1 request and advice of the citizens, the responsibility rests upon him. W e hope this imlieatioii of the general teiTiiio- will hereafter be respected by the Abolitionists. j .ringlua Jiejjorlcr. LAND, LAND.
