Dipook Fetiow Cirrzens:—The calamities which have recently befallen us, are already known te you all, all | through the public papers, which have also made you somewhat acquainted with their immediate oc- casion. It was thought proper by the Honorable Court of Quarter Sessions, to direct the attention of. the Grand Ji res ot May Term, to these events, and to request of them a full and accurate investigation of their cause; in consequence of which, they ex- amined a number of witnesses, and at length on the 15th inst., made a presentment, signed by seventeen of their number. ‘We must confess our surprise at the avowal of the Grand Jury, in the presentment; that they ne- gestarily depended on “ Ex parte evidence” in the investigation of public facts regarding the commu- nity at large, into which it was plainly their duty to inquire most fully, as they were instructed. by the. Court; and encouraged io do, with assurances of protection to all witnesses whose attendance might e sought or offered. ks We conceive that it was their duty to hear the evidence on both sides, in regard to all facts con- nected with the late riots, and we regret that ‘ex parte evidence” should have been received in a mat- ter of public interest, where no bill of indictment si any particular charge had been laid before them. ‘They seem to have assumed that one party were rieters and the other the assailed, and to have con- sequently, taken the evidence of the latter, with- out summoning the others:before them to hear their accounts of the transaction, and thus, we are not surprised, at the result of their investigations Speaking of the causes which Jed to the riots, the Grand Jury ascribe them— “To the efforts of a portion of the community to ex- elude the Bible irom our Public Schools. The Jury are of opinion that these efforts in some measure gave rise to the formation of a new party, which called, and held pub- lic meetings in the District of Kensington, inthe peaceful exercise of the sacred rights and privileges guaranteed to every citizen by the Constitution and lawa of our State and Country. These meetings were rudely disturbed and fired upon hy a band of lawless, irresponsible men, some ef whom had resided in our country only for a short peviod. This outrage, caused the death of a number of our unoffending citizens, led to immediate retaliation, and was followed up by subsequent acts of aggression in violation and open defiance of all law.” We regret that the Grand Jury had not the moral courage to utter, in distinct terms, what they are now avowed and admitted to have meant. They have, in the peypereph just quoted, without using the name Catholic, wantonly charged that denomi- nation with “ an attempt to exclude the Bible from the public schools,” and they have also, though more guardedly, insinuated that they ‘ have at- tempted to interfere with the sacred rights and privileges guaranteed to every citizen, by the Con- stitution and Laws of our State.” These charges are unfounded. If the Grand Jury, on what is avowed to have been “ ex parte testimony,” came to these conclusions, it was their duty to have pre- sented the names of those who constituted ‘ the portion of the community” with specific charges against them, to the end that they might be tried and punished. If they did not come to these con- clusions, they have stated what they know, to be both in the manner of its investigations and concla- sions, has given great reason for complaint, not cnly to the 60,000 citizens whom they have con- demned without a hearing, but to every man in the community who respects the laws and desires that its\adininistrators shall be both wise and pure. Inthe name and in behalf of the Catholic com- munity, we explicitly deny that they have at any time, or in any manner made_ any eflort “to ex- clude the Bible trom the public schools.” In the most solemn manner we declare that they have never designed, desired, or attempted to exclude the Bible from the schools. We have uniform! contended, not only for ourselves, but on behalt of our Protestant and Jewish brethren, for the fullest freedom of conscience both for children and adults in schools or elsewhere. We confidently refer to the letter of the Right Reverend, the Bishop of Philadelphia, to the Con- trollers of the Public Schools, dated 14th Novem- ber, 1842, as evidence that the Catholic body, in whose name he spoke, only. asked the liberty of using the version of the Bible, approved of and authorized in their own communion. Speaking of the school regulations, he says— “ Among them (the regulations) I am informed one is, that the teachers shall read, and cause to be read, the Bi- ble; by which it is understsod the version published by command of King James. ‘To this regulation we are forced to object, inasmuch as Catholic children are thus led to view as authoritative a version which is rejected by the Church. It is not expected that [ should state in detail the reason of this rejection. I shall only say, that we are persuaded that several books of Divine Scripture are want- ed/in that version, and the meaning of the original text is not faithfully expressed. It is not incumbent on us to prove either position, since we do not ask you to adopt the Catholic version’ for general use ; but we feel war- ranted in claiming that our conscientious scruples to re- cognize or use the other, be respected In Baltimore, the Directors of the Public Schools have thought it their duty to provide Catholic children with the Catholic version. 7 at Cy much for us to expect the same measure of jus- tice 7” From this it is clear that no attempt was made by the Catholic body, or their official and authorised representative, ‘“‘to exclude the Bible trom the Schools.” The use, by themselves, of their own version was asked. In‘a neighboring city, where the Catholic faith prevails, and where peace and harmony on this subject have always existed, Cath- olics use their own Bible, and Protestants theirs. In the Catholic city of Baltimore, both sides are pro- tected, and neither side is oppressed. The Board of Control, acceded to the Bishop’s request, but with a restriction which virtually nuili- fied the concession, by adopiing the following Ke- solutions : “Resolved, That no children be required to attend or unite in the reading of the Bible in the Public Schools, whore parents are conscientiously opposed thereto. “ Resolved, That those children whose parents consci- srtiously refer and desire any particuiar version of the Bible, w! thout note or comment, be iurnished with the same.” Although the words, ‘‘without note or comment,” excluded the Catholic version, which is always ac- companied by a few notes, the Bishop, or the Ca- tholic community, made no complaint, being con- tent that the children were exempted from the use of the version to which they were conscientiously opposed, and relying on the good faith of the Direc- tors, and teachers, to execute the regulations ot the Board, No further action was had on this subject on the part of Catholics, until the month of March of the present year, when a pamphlet porporting to hea reply to the letter of Bishop Kenrick was pub- lished by Rev. W. Colton, Chaplain in the United States avy, Editor of a violent political newspa- per, and a leading member of ‘the Protestant As- sociation.” In the meantime it had been ascertain- ed that the regulations were not attended to in se- veral or most of the schools, and that the conscien- ces of Catholic teachers and children were aggriev- ed, in many instances, by attempts to force them to use the Protestant version. Under those circum- stances, perceiving thut an effort was made to set at nought the regulations of the Board of Control, and to force the consciences of Catholics, a num- ber of Catholic laymen addressed a respectful peti- tion to the Board of Control, praying for the en- forcement of their own regulations, and a similar address was made by the Bishop ; on which occa- sion the Board adopted resolutions, requiring their observance by the teachers under penalty of a for- feiture of salary. At that very time, when we were respectfully pe- titioning not to be excluded from the enjoyment ot our undoubted constitational rights, the cry was raised that the Catholics were faboring “to banish the Bible.” ‘This unfounded charge was met by a prompt disclaimer published by the Bishop, in’ all the city papers onthe 13th day of March. From this document we beg leave to submit the follow- ing extract “Catholics not asked that theBible be excluded from the Public Schools. They have merely desired for their children the liberty of using the Catholic version, in case the reading of the Bible be ribed by the Controllers or Directors of the Schools. They only desire to enjoy th benefit of the Constitution of the State of Pennsylvania which guarantees the right of conscience, and preclude: any’ preference of sectarian modes of worship. They ask that the School laws be faithfully executed, and that the Hestlgigus predilections ofthe parents he respected.” ‘They at the ee of the Controllers of the Public pra ade ted in December, 1634, be followed up, and lutions of the same boty, adopted in January, 1843, beadhered to. They desire that the Public School be preserved from all sectarian influence, and that educa- tion be conducted in a way that may ble all citizens equally to share in ite benefits, without any violence be ing offered to their religious convictions.” ‘These were the only measures adopted by the Catholic community or by their efhniat spoteanitns tive, in reference to the use of the Bible; and show that they limited their request to the liberty of us- using their own version, and did not in any way interfere with the use of the Protestant version by such as choose to adoptit. Inthisage and country, and especially/in the city to which William Penn gave the name and impress of brotherly love, we prestume it is unnecessary to put forward any plea im support of our constitutional and legal right to have our religious predilections respected. Free- dom of conscience is a fundamental article of the so- cial compact which we are bound to maintain, and we cannot consent to see it violated in ourselves, or our fetlow-citizens. We appeal to all whether, we do not scrupulously respect it in all various relations of lite. In this regard at least, we feel no reproach ef conscience. e fearlessly challenge any one to show any act of the Catholic community in viola- tion of these sacred rights, and we can individually make a like appeal as to all our social transactions. We have cherished and loved our fellew-citizens as broth-rs bound together by social ues, which for us, Were strengthened and hallowed by a religion which preaches submission to constituted authority and Jove for all mankind. _ We have heard it affirmed that because Catho- lics are a minority, they must submit to the regula- tions which the majorily may please to adopt, We are willing that the principle should be applied to all things wherein public interest and order are concerned, saving always those principles and rights which the Constitution holds to be inviolable. We are the minority ; and for us, therefore, does the Constituuon exist. The majority need not its protection, jor they have the power to take care, of their own interests, Unless tor the shield which the Coustitution gives to those who are the smaller, and, therefore, the weaker party, this government would be a Despotism, for the governing power wouid be uncontrolled. ‘To-day one class may be lashed by the tyrant of numbers, and to-morrow another class may feel the scourge. No man, no sect, no party, would ever be safe. Peace and or- det would be destroyed, and soon the wreck of the Republic would add another to the many melan- eholy instances of the danger which always attends the conferring of unbounded power. 2 Under no circumstance is Conscience at the dis- posal of a majority. 1t is the feeling of duty which springs from the law of nature engraved on the heart, or trom the revealed law of God, and cannot be subject to the contro!’ of ces not im- mediately derived from Him. e plead then our natural and indefeasible right, recognized by the Conetitution and laws, and we are happy to add by thé Board of Control itself, in the Tegulations adopted in the year 1833, long before the agitation of this question. We beg leave to submit them to our fellow citizens, “ Whereas, The Controllers have noticed that the prac- tice exists in some of the Schools ot introducing religious exercises, and books of a religious character, which Lave not been recommended or adopted by this Board in the Jessons prepared for the use of the scholurs, and | elieving the use of such exercises or books may huve a tendency to produce an influence in the Schools of a sectarian cha- racter. It is resolved, That this Board, as conservators of the rights of Parents or Guardians of children, committed to the care of ‘I'eachers, employed accerding to law, for the purpose of public education, are bound tu preserve those rights unimpaired. esolyed, That the Constitution of the State of Penn- aylvania, which has provided for the establishment of Public Schools, has also wisely guaranteed the right of allto worship according to the dictates of their consci ence; and ax the parents of children have, both by la and nature che guardianship of them during their minori- ty, so, they alone are responsible for the effect of such guardianship ; and their right to impress the minds of their children with such views of a religious nature as they may think most important, ought not to be inter fered with, especially by a body exercising its authority by virtue of the laws of the Commonwealth. Tv as tribute in the P io x pline of the School, must have a tendency to impair the rights of some; and that whilst this Board is convinced of the utter impossibility of adopting a system of religious instruction that bation of ali religi- ous societies, t pd no injury need re- sult to the pupila from confining the instruction in our Schools to the ordinary branches ot elementary educa- tion ; inasmuch as ample facilities for religious improve. ment are presented for the choice of parents or guardians, in Sabbath Schools, and other establishments for that pu! which are organized and supported by various reli- ious communities, Resolved, That ground of universal benevolence is one on which all sects or parties may meet, and it must beon this ground alone, that our Public Schoola can be continued as @ public good; and in probibiting the intro duction of religious forms in them, this Board will invade the rights of none, but on the contrary, by so doing, it will maintain the rights of all—and, therefore, Resolved, That this Board cannot but consider the in- treduction or use of any religious exercises, books or les. sons into the Public Schools, which have not been adopt- ed by the Board, as contrary to law: and the use of any such religious exercises, books or lessons, is hereby di- rected to be discontinued.” With regard to the connection of the question concerning the use of the Bible, with the organi- zation among us of a new political party, it is not tor us to question the correctness of the conclu- sions at which the Grand Jury have arrive For ourselves, we repeat, that we sought only liberty of education as connected with liberty of con- science—the birthright of freemen. We sought it by respectful addresses to the legal authorities We asked that our children, in approaching the fountains of public education should be permitted to drink of its waters without any admixture. We wished to leave them as their most precious inherit- anee the faith which we received trom our fathers, or embraced from deep conviction of its truth; and in committing them to the public teachers we claimed what God commands, what the law guar- antees, that our parental rights to ue their reli- gious sentiments should not be infringed. If this has given rise to a new political party, we deeply regretthat any party should exist in the country hostile to liberty of conscience. But we disclaim the intention of throwing this stigma on any part We yield to none of our fellow-citizens in attach- ment to republican institutions: we owe no alle- giance whatever to foreign prince, or potentate; the obedience which as children of the church we ren- der to the chief Bishop, regards not the things that apertain to this world. » As Catholics, we are free in our political senti- meots, uninfluenced by our religious tenets or by our spiritual guides. We belong to different poli- tical parties, according to our judgment and choice, and we have political opinions and predilections over which we acknowledge no control, other than the constitntional and legal restrictions We do not object to the formation of any new party, which respects the Constitution and laws, and pursues its objects without infringing on rights already guaran- teed, and public faith and the dictates of natural justice and humanity. But if any Rary takes its rise in opposition to the peaceable effort of citizens to protect and preserve the rights of conscience, in the growing youth of our country, it is of 111 omen to our peace and prosperity. We trast that the Grand Jury has been mistaken in tracing its origin ; but we pretend not to decide the question, for our desire is, not to attack others, but to defend our- selves. @ " The Grand Jury states that “the meetings of this party were rudely attacked and fired upon, by a band of fawless, irresponsible men.”” This sta'e- ment, made on * exparte evidence,” is strongly de- nied by many who assert that they were eye-wit- nesses of the transaction, and who would willingly have given evidence before the Grand Jury, had they been summoned for that purpose. For our- selves, we wait the public trials, in which we hope to see the testimonies weighed, the facts placed be- yond question, the guilty punished, and the inno- cent discharged Tn the meantime we would observe that we are credibly re isha and firmly believe, that Trish Catholics did not go to the meeting of the 6th of May, which unfortunately adjyurned to the market house, where the first collision took place; and that the first death occurred at the time when the houses were being sacked, the second when the school house was being set on fire. The conflict of the following day was not sought for. The Catholics remained at their homes until the arrival of the immense crowd, which had illegally met at the State House Square, ‘‘ armed for defence,” and had sdioutad to the scene of the preceding conflict, ‘e, however, disclaim all sympathy for the men, whoever they nay have been, who rudel disturbed any public meeting; we detest with all our hearts the crime of murder, by whomsoever erpetrated; we deeply regret the loss of human ife in whatsoever way it occurred; and we leave to the public tribunals to visit with the just severity of the law, all who have been guilty of shedding human blood wantonly and maliciously. We care not to dispute the allegations at the present time, but await the calm action of public justice. That no man may be sacrificed to passion or prejudice, it 18 wisely provided that he shall only be condemned after a full and fair trial on a verdict of ; Very Interesting from the 5: twelve citizens. lt would be most unjust on the presumption, or prima facie evidence ol guilt of a small band of men, to visit their eflence on an entire community, | from the mere accidental circumstance that most | of them are suid to hold the religious faith which we profess. If outrage and violence have been committed, let the law have its course; but, in the | meantime, let not the common bonds of society be | snapped assunder; let not the peaceful and anofiend. H ing be thrown into consternation by menaces of | vengeance ; let not the sanctuaries of religion be darkened with the gloom of anticipated destruc- tion; on the contrary, let peace and good will, and charity, be cherished, and let us all endeavor to bind more strongly the social ties which cannot be loosed without danger and detriment to our- selves and to our national institutions. For ourselves, and the Catholic community at large, we Senrectsy all violence, intimidation, and other illegal means of checking the expression of public sentiment, and the exercise of political privileges. We wish the right of assembling peaceably to be guarded with jealousy, but we confess our alarm for the safety of our civil institu- tions when publie meetings are called, and invited to come * armed for defence.” We forbear, fellow-citizens, entering into further details. We complain not of the sott tones and delicate phrases in which the Grand Jury have hint- ed at the burning, of two Churches, one of them ndwich Islands, | Movements ofthe French and English, We have received by the way of Vera Cruz, by either the Montezurna or Guadaloupe, the annexed | letter from our correspondent at Honolulu. It con- tains a good deal of interesting and important mat ter, mixed up with gossip of village character.

And yet acts of unprovoked and unpre- cedented outrage inflicted on them are called—nre- TAGLA’ + e are Philadelphians and we love our city.— Many of us cansay it is the home of ourchildhood, the habitation of our wives and children—it con- tains the ashes of our fatners. Willingly would we bury in oblivion those awtul scenes which (though painful and injurious to us) we deeply deplore on higher grounds than any selfish personal feelings — It had been our pride and our glory that religious treedom was here enjoyed in its plenitude, and that any attempt to disturb it would meet with the re probation and successful opposition of all classes of citizens. i Here we fondly hoped the shrines of religion were safe; here the seminaries of learning were fostered; here the ministers of religion were respected. Alas! after the scenes through which we have passed, when even the resting place of the dead was invad- ed, can we speak the same language of exultation? We trust still in the good sense and feeling of our fellow citizens, that they will unite with us in main- taining that liberty of conscience, for which our fa- thers and theirs bled, and the supremacy of the law; and that the sympathies of life will be renewed and increased among us ; so that united by the bends of our social compact and common interests, and com- mon country in peace and harmony, we shall con- tinue to enjoy the blessings of which we have hith- erto been proud; and in the day of danger we shali all remember, that life is well sacrificed, if sacritie- ed for our gountry. We desige not to proscribe any one; we ask for no peculiayy privileges; we make no merit of the purity of odr Pennsylvania descent, but we demand thatthe ex ation, “I am aN AMERICAN Citizen,” shall continue to be the protection of our rights, and the guarantee of our freedom.

Exrraorpinary Case or Swinpiuina.—Rum has had another glorious triumph qver a young man named William Rankin, who for several years hus been mthe employ of one of the largest dry good houses in town. Poortellow ! he is irrevocably lost we fear :—but tothe story. Some week or ten days since, he was dis- charged from his situation for being intemperate, and since then he has drank still deeper of the bowl where ruin, misery, and death lurk unseen, and a few days ago he went to New York and returned by the Rochester on ‘Thursduy night, where he called tor champaign, ordered Astute room aad went it large with some of his friends. In the morning, when he was going ashore, he was stopped and asked if he would foot his bill, when he mage several excuses, and at last said that if any person would accompany him he would'go and get the money. Otficer Nixon, who was present at the time, offered his services, and they proceeded to a respectoble house in Ferry street, where he rang the bell and called for the lady of the house, who shortly made her appearance, and he very gentlemanly asked to see her in the parlor. ‘The lady as*onished walked in. and he soon mi own his business by charging her with having often stelen goods from the store where he formerly was employed, remark. ing at the same time that $100 would settle it. ‘The lady soon informed her husband, when he was most uncere- moniously handed out of doors and put in charge of officer Nixon, who after hearing the story, toek him to the police office, where the magistrate after hearing the story, committed him for examination. Rankin's conduct is very singular and many of hie friends think that he is partly deranged, P. 8.

Report says, Pomare is going to abandon entirely her disloyal and perfidieus people, and coming here to honoy this free, independent, and strongly propped up nation with her ex-majesty’s presence, a no incon- siderable item in the treasury of national hospita- lity. ‘Ah! that Boussale—how dark, silent, re- lentless and warlike she looks! She was one of the ruthless ruffians that enforced the French de- crees nt Tahiti!’ These are not my words, but— H. B. M. ship Champion left here the 23d ult., for Mazutlin, to bring despatches. By. the bye, these islands have grown to such astonishing im- portance of late, that @ British line of packets (war ships) have been established between here and the coust. A monstrous expense in compliment to a sans culofte nation. Kear Admiral Thomas, o! the Faded Pink at the main—British command- ant on the Pacific station, now makes his head quarters here. He is a hale, Falstaffic, beef-eating old fire-eater, as you would ever wish to see, and his peculiarities ridiculous beyond all description Yet he is a stern, talented, Sccighclervard going man as England can produce, and po:sesses a sense of politeness and benevolence, which would honor and distinguish all the resident élite of the Sand- wich Islands put together. Lord George! (That name has “died into an echo”’) hasgone to England to answer for his pirati- cal conduct at these islands, which, [ think, when all the circumstances and motives of his conduct are duly explained, will find better favor there than his warmest friends here would christianly hope for. Since his name and proceedings here have been so furiously Bhiranicted of Inte, a little detail, I think, will not be uninteresting. Lord George Paulet is not that lawless chap his friends would gladly have the world believe, but, on the contra- ry, a red-haired, fat, sleek, innocent being, who would not injure one of the namberless little ver- mine that infest this region. Every man ina con- spicuous station has his friends and enemies, and Paulet, peculiarly so. While you suppose every one here, to aman, would eat hum unfeathered, I can safely say, ninety-nine out of a hundred, natives and foreigners together, would most gladly see him restored, clothed in the same power which he as- sumed. This would be heard with astonishment by a majority unacquainted with Hawaiian affairs, nevertheless it is true, And uid astonishing? Be- cause the interested Funies here are powerful eneugh to make themselves heard, while the voice of the feeble is too easily lost in the roar of the vast ocean around them. Their reasons are peculiar) their own. Let us come a little nearer m detail. The billious native—black-washed advocates ot the government, grounded their objections to hoisting the English flag here,on the pretence of its being in violation of all international compact. On the trary, Paulet, according to British principles, and with generous en eaaenee planted his standard asa van-guard to this fee fe hation, to intercept and brunt the French, whose proceedings at the Southern Islands, connected with their conduct at this place heretofore, evinced anything but an au- gel visit. Thus far, with true Briush policy, and no further, would all have been well enough, But now comes ihe tug—not of war—the commission for the Sandwich Islands Government. Here Paulet made himself responsible for an act for which he was not virtually guilty. His good nature allowed him too easily lo imposed upon by the artiul representa- tions of some worthy Paul Benfier progeny of s India, the fullfilment of whose designs require subversion of goverament, and Paulet in his loyai zeal, with their right wotul complaints and sinister advice, supposed he could render her majesty # most signal service in no other way, than to Bull this * Commission” on the government. in viola- tion of all his instructions and all common sense Therefore, the ‘*Commission” was duly proclaimed and established, with all the ridiculous dignity and pomp which its fathering talent could invest it Very shortly and rapidly indeed budded forth the vile scions of its wall and future Jaw, to be engralt- ed on the magisterial tree of the government This all went on very smoothly for a while, not- withstanding every step was in violation of the ex- press meaning of the Sinasian which he dictated himeelf. At last he touched the delicate Pole Cet ata very inauspicious moment, and got himeell s« completely besmeared, that every body, for aught } know, have ventured to decline the fragrant honor of cleaning him. There were a number of nava vessels in port at the time he commenced this play which seemed to discountenance his general pro- ceedings, and the adventurous Pinles connected with the government, thinking it a favorable mo- ment> for themselves, leaned their famishing cancasses against this poor, wounded Pole Cat, and set up such a pious howl, that the seale war soon turned against his lordship, finally resulting in what you already know. \ This is a stale, musty, old mess, and I am nigh smothered in the smut; however, since I have in- advertently got foul of the yarn, I will unrayel o little further, and satiefy your curiosity, by giving atrue biography of that incomparable fittle Ffelen, the Pole-Cat. These islands are become famou h of the modern world. The govern ment, by dint of avaricious policy, (through mis- sionary advice,) have imposed a duty on the com- merce of virtue, designedly, just sufficient to its healthy growth, and thereby it has become the great protective tariff of the nation. This is all very pliusible, quite so, when intertwisted with missionary reperts and heathen sympathy, but here, toa realy moral mind, it is villainous be- yond expression. Lord George, necessarily, from his situation, became minutely acquainted with all itlabarynthian wiles and variegated rotten beauties Thegefore, in real Jackson style, placed his veto on the monster-vice, and left the progeny to rot into the path of recutude, of their own Lin Paap el, untrammelled will. om this arose all the distress, artfully wove into a christian appeal, to the sympa- thy of the world, for wounded chastity end virtue But rest assured, had Paulet substituted anything in lieu, whereby an equal revenue could have been derived, your ears would never have been dinned with the jingle of that wail. To show the consis tency of the clamorous grieved, be it (perhaps i were better,) unknown, that after the Hawaiian flag was restored, ten days grace was allowed every person to commit, unmolested, whatever species of vice they chose. Then was acted, and avery day in the public streets, real barbarian, Ve- nus farces, which (1 should judge from the noise of ecstacy,) lar out-blissed aif the refined blandish ments of Enropean brothels. No one hissed—no one could, for its prous patrons, now in power, had dropped betore it their approving ganze, and who could see through it with a certainty? Wati! | will say, however, in doubttal compliment to Lord George, were he fo return—as every native firmly believe and wish—clothed in his former power, there wonld be heard here a ery of “ To your tents, © Israel!” such as has never been since the days of Sodom. ss ; Now for other matters.

Sans Souci—Fine Atr—Cool Breezes among the shadowy treezes—Comparison with Saratoga— Popwlation—Buildings—-Protection-—-Manufac- tures—New F.ctories of various kinds—Picklea and Piety in the Church—Odd Fellows. Dear Bennett :— e Having for the past few days sojourned in this delightful village, for such it really is, 1 propose to inform you, and through you, your ** 30,000 read- ers,” (vide Bishop Hughes’ letter) of a few of the sights with which this village is rite, together with some rumors connected with recent developments in the religious circles of this plac And first, I find that the Sans Souci is well kept. that its yards and out grounds aflord the same coof and delighttul retreat that they did some fitteen or eighteen years ago, when under the control of Mr. Harvey Loomis. With the exception that the mineral water here has somewhat lost its pungent tasie, L cannot see but that the Sans Souci aflords as pleasant and as agreeable a retreat for the idler as heretofore. It is now more quiet than formerly, having fewer visitants, and for this reason isa more fitting retreat for the invalid, and those who desire repose, than for the fashionable searcher after pleasure. A more healthy and sulubriows air than 1s found here, exists, | venture to assert, in no other inland village in the State, and to those who préfer quiet and rest, to noise and activiiy—health and comfort, to pleasure and excitement—1 would recommend this village in preference to Saratoga. And should they be believers in the ‘cold water cure,” here they “can bathe their weary soule,”” i not “in seas of heavenly rest,” at any rate, in comfortable baths, and can luxuriate on the waters fresh and sparkling from the fountains, or if they prefer, can obtain at the Sans Souct the Saratoga water as fresh as from the Springs. ty ‘Those who in former years were in the habit of visiting this place, would be richly repaid by again making a summer excursion here, in viewing the great improvements that have been made within the past few years. The village has witht the vast five years nearly doubled in population and in buildings; the immense water power that has been for so many years allowed to run to waste, is now being brought into active use, and that too uoder the operation of our present Protective Tariff, which it is to be hoped may tong remain upon our statute books, to act as an incentive to Americen enterprise. Two factories (one woollen and one cotton,) have recently been erected and are now in opera- tion ; two other very extensive ones are now being built, one of which belonging to Gen Cook, the President of the Villege Bank, will be put invo operation next month, and the other the coming Fall or early next Spring. ‘The old Brick Factory, which all who have visited this place must rememe ber, and which has been standing idle since 1813, has been recently purchased by a Company in your city, aad isto be brought into ase as soon as possi~ ll of these three last named ure to be, [am informed, coton factories Beside these five fac- tories, there are two flouring mills, saw mills, tachine shops and other machinery in operation here, and it 18 not too much to say, that ten years hence this village will be ene of the most floursh- ing and largest of any in Northern New York. I find that the vigorous and bracing air of this place has excited the organ of amativeness to a great extent in these diggins, and especially among the members of a pious persuasion, A fair one, some weeks since, introduced into this wicked world a thumping fat boy, and soon after left the village, and was in a few days after followed by a brother in the Chureh, (who left a wife and family behind him,) and it 18 supposed that these !wo stars who have thus fallen from their orbits, have into conjunction, and darted offin atangent. There are also rumors of other peccadilloes among some of the members of both sexes m the same Church, but as they are only rumors, J will not more parti- cularly allude to them. 'While the Methodist Church here igmourning over the derelictions trom duty of its members, the other Churches are about as badly off,—the Baptist weekly thinning its mem- bers by expulsion and suspension—the Episcopal being divided by Puseyism and Anti-Puseyism— and the Preabyterian being divided on the New School and Old School controversy, without a she- pard to watch over the tender lambs of the fold, and displaying their controversial quarrel, any hing but the spirit of the “meek and towly Josue” Infact, the only Society thet flourishes here is the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and it ix rather ‘todd” that they should prosper Un such a Foil, a8 in their acts of benevolence they general- iy go hand in hand with our various denominations of christians ; and it is to be hoped that the ehurehes here will be sumulated by the example thus set them, and soon establish order out of chaos and confusion. The uamarned ladies here are sprightly and handsome, and the married ones, if coming events cast their shadows before, must almost to an dividual “love their lords’’—-or some one else, as they generally are ‘as ladies wish to be.” y Tam going North from this place, and duridg my excursion cS will probably here from me ugain., Yours, We.
