A constitution has been adopted by itUis society and printe L The most tnportant objects for which this constitulion provides are the raising of fan 's to be appr i ? -ited to aiding inch of the . nben as may want pecuniary assists i - in cast of sickness or unavoidabl no isi irtune as wi 11 as other mechanics who may labor under similar afflictions, I rom the spirited exertions of the titlemen who were engaged iu the fjrsn itiono tliis society, vf have just reason to believe that it will increase and main un a pefttoane&t and respectable standing. In a place like this, sue.h an institution cann i 1 dl of heir.;; highly beneficial, and I i is! ; Elect honor and draw forth the benedictions of the unfortunate, upon its toun lers. The man) strangers daily arriving from t irkms parts of the union v I from Europe, after having been expos to the hardships incident to long and tedious jouraies, generally are so debilitated that the change of climate connected with other causes, bring on sickness dec. And where is the man, who has a heart, that will not rejoice to see s. respectable a class of citizens, standing forth as a body to amt. lior.tte their sufferings ? Or where Is die man posses? ing s t tste for social enjaj ment, who will iu t be gratified to see men associate for such benevolent and laudable purpose s, at a time when philanthropic and Social feelings were almost entombed in the vortex of avarice and speed ition ? Innumerable benefits may reasonably be anticipated from the formation of such societies. While they ;.ss.st in banishing demoralising customs, they introduce the unfortunate to a band of brothers, ready to serve them, if they are woi thy. I'm y tend to harmonise the feelings to create unanimity of sentiment and lay the found ition for sociality and a reciprocity of friendly demeanor. Till: TREASURER OF THE COMON. When, the Centincl, b) the most base and anfounded declarations, attempted some months ago to deceive our citizens in regard to t ' i is muter, its falsehoods were promptly corrected by men who would scorn to deceive after a patient examination they certifit d the truth. Indec 1 the disposition of the Common (one of the most glorious events for the country that has ever been realised) and the disposition of the money received on the s n ill part already sold, have been converted into a fruitful source of invective bv trie few malcontents who were happil) disappointed in their endeavors to frustrate ihat sal u try measure. The Treasurer of the Common is, bv h ivy security made responsible to the b iard of Trustees, and under their direction his conduct 1ms been regulated. The following statement is made under their authority, ox t to satisfy the slanders of the Centinel, .. slanders from that quart r are hot to be satisfied but to es . it to the citi a as . large, the situat n of the Commons' fund. If the surest road totlie heanri of man1 as is said by the Centinel, (to whose dictators the sentiment clearly and correctly appr s) leads directly through las pocket1 UK re are monied matters of immense amount, that absolutely require j iblicity. And it will be more oec ssary as certain characters appear resolved to vitiate the u heart" and empty the "locket" of all whose independence and faithful adherence to duty, scorns deception, and frowns indignantly upon fraudulent clecel Li's. .i t tttun flawed the Co.': .v. 1S1P. Resolved by the board of Trustees of the Borough of Vincennes, in common council assembled that .t committee of two from this board he appointed to wait upon lTihu Stout Esquire, the Treasurer of the Common and ascertain, 1st.

The following is an tstract of the re port of the committee, tinted by the chairman of the Board under the above re solution M Upon e imin itiod we find there was told of the mmons two hundred and forty eight acres and eighty hundredths which amounted in the whole to 12792 doll u s y f. cents. Oae fourth of which being the first payment has been feceii ed. Of this sum the surve) or, J. H.

Tet the slanderers now jo on the Treasurer can do no mow to satisfy all upright men ; and he has reason to feel conscious although h"s property has been prostrated, the falsehood and' malignity of base men, will, with all their endeavors, be unable to prostrate his character. His conduct and principles were happily known before his present defamers were thou- lit of. SUN SIM MARY. Of the 49 members of congress from New-England, but 6 arc federal.
