'yV. Subscriber having been requested
to act as Aient for this bighly inter
esting work, informs the public that the
first volume can be seen at his otCce,
where Mibscriptions will be received.
The first volume is a specimen of the exe
cution of the work, editorial and meehan
ical It is to contain all that is valuable,
in the writings of those great lights in the
Christian Church, Henry, Scott, Dod-

Lowih, Burder, and others: the whole de
!ignel to a digest and combination of the
advantages of the best Bble commentaries.
On the whole, it is believed all will admit
that the work s what it has been pronounc
ed to be a credit to the counm: and the
puhlisbt-rs and editors pledge themselves
and their characters ("and they can do no
more) that every effort shall be put forth
to make it, b"th in the literary and me
chaoical part, Iatinglv useful, and wor
thy a liber il support. But to i;s!aiu them
in so expensive an enterprise, the low
price fixed for the work requires that it
should have an extensive sale, and no pub
lisher would fell wirramed in prosecuting
the work witbont a large subscription lif;
and, however un; oruIr sncb a course may)
be in regard to ordinary works, no lisi a

The ilk CullurisL
fllK Executive Committee of the H act-
ford County btlk Society, nave com
menced a monthly publication, called the
Silk Culturist anil Farmer's Manual.
Ihe object cf the publication is to dis
seminate a thorough knowledge of the cul
tivation of the Mulberry lree, in all its
varieties The rearing of Silk Worm
The production of Cocoon and the Reel
ing of Silk, in the most approved method.
The importance of this knowledge will ap
pear from the fact that the netl prout ot
1-md devoted to the culture of Silk, is
double, if not triple, to that derived from
any other crop w hicb can be put upon it.
It is also a fact, that every moderate tar
i i i j jn
mer can laise several nuuurru tiui.ctrs
woithofSilk without interfering with his
ordinary agricultural operations. But in
order to avail himself of this facility to
obtain competency and wealth, which our
soil and climate nave given mm, ne musi
possess himself of information on the sub
jectfor without it his attempts will be
fruitless. It is, therefore, the object ol the
Committee to diffuse this information as
extensively ns possible, Hnd at the cheap
est rate. The publication will contain a
complete manual or directory from sowing
the seed to ret ling the Silk, together with
such facts and experiments, as will enable
farmers to raise Silk and prepare it for
market, wilhout further knowledge or as
sistance. It will also contain interesting
matter on agricultural subjects in general.
TERMS The Culturist will be publish
ed in monthly numbers of Eight Quart
Pages, at Fifty Cents a Year. No sub
scription will be received unless paid in
Advance, and for not less than a year.
Subscribers received by F. G. Comstock,

Hartford, April, 1S35.
(tPThe Hon. Thomas 11.
Benton recently received an invi
tation from the Democratic citi
zens of New Orleans, to partake
of a public dinner. The follow
ing is his reply:
ATew Orleans, April 2S, 1S35.
Gentlemen: The most es
teemed invitation of which you
have heen the organ, to accept a
public dinner from the democrat
ic citizens of New Orleans, has
been duly received, and com
mands the expression of my 'most
respectful thanks, botli for the
honor which is done me and the
flittering manner in which it has
been communicated. Nothing
could be more agreeable to my
feelings than to meet our political
friends of this great and growing
city in the way which is propos
ed; but the acceptance of such an
honor would not be compatible
with the humhie and individual
views with which 1 have visited
your city, and which require my
visit to be unaccompanied by anv
circumstance which could cause
tho.e views to be misunderstood.
The political events through
which we have pased, and to
which you have referred with o
much flittering ;pprnhation ol the
part which I have acted, have in
deed been momentous, and have
severely tested the lirinnes and
patriotism not only ol public men,
but of the uhohi community.
Many good citizen have been
deceived and milled by the bold
and specious statement of the
Bink and its friend: but the
time for deception has passed a- j
way; nnd with the recovery ol 'its!
prosperity, the country hasalo
recovered the calm and delibeiatej
exercise of its judgment, ant) now'
sees most distinctly who were the
authors of the Panic and Press
ure which lately oflltcted and a
larmed the country. The Bank
of Ihe U. Stales and the Senate of
the U. States now stand convicted
in public estimation of all the
mischief resulting from that fright
ful period: the Bank on account
of its wanton and wicked pressure
for money and 'derangement of
exchanges, and the Senate by ils
cries ot revolution and its unpar
alleled and unjustifiable proceed
ings against President .lackson.
The isne of the elections has pro
nounced these lesulis, and would
require the Bank and the Senate
Io acknowledge Iheir faults and
retrace iheir step. But th?se
powers do not aeknowh.-lge the
will of the people, they do not
submit to the verdict of popular
elections. The Bank is still in
the political field with all its for
ces, and now looks lor that victo
ry' in the piesidential election.
and for that renewed chatter.
from a divided Democracy, and a
foul election in the House ol Rep
resentatives, which it has been
unable to achieve in the open field
and against our united ranks.
The Senate still retains upon its
Journal that sentence of condem
nation which the people have re
versed, and which the public
voice requires to be "expunged'"
from thai page on which il should
never have been placed, and
where it will constitute the tri
umph of the bank, and ihe hu
miliation ot the country until it
is removed.
The issue of the elections have
declared tho will of the people,
and should terminate their contest
with the great monied despot;
but that contest is not terminated;
its form only is varied; nd the
struggle is to continue as arduous
ly as ever. The tiger crouches
before he leaps upon his prey;
and it is the part of the tiger which
the hank is now acting. It has
lowered its head for the leap.
Foiled in an open attempt io
seize upon the government, and
to administer it through ils pen.
doners, it now has recourse to
iraud and to compass the design
which forcf and audacity could
not accomplish. Repulsed in the
attempt to control the elections,
ami to extort a ree.harter from the
sufferings and alarms of the peo
ple, it now substitutes the arts of
seduction for the rude arms of op
pression and terror, and lavishes
millions upon the same communi
ty which a few months ago it was
grinding into dust. Far from
giving up the charter, it does not
even mean to dissolve itself at the
expiration of the present one.
Fifteen millions of loans thrown
out in a few months, many of t hem
to run beyond the period of its
legal existence; multiplied editions
of the absolving report of the
Senate's committee; inexorable
persecution, through all its organs,
against the prominent candidate
ol the democratic party; such are
a few of the signs which must ar
rest the attention of all reflecting
men, and convince them that the
contest has not ceased, but has on
ly varied ils form, and become
more dangeious because less ob
vious, and because the Presiden
tial election is to he transferred
from the ballot boxes of the peo
ple to the intriguing and bargain
'"g forum of the House of Rep
resentatives. Under these cir
cumstances it becomes imperative
on the democracy of the Union
to stand on their guard, and to
meet these new attempts di
vide and conquer' with a una
nimity which cannot be conquer
ed. The convention of popular
delegate at Baltimore, clothed
with authority to speak for the
democracy in all parts of the Un
ion, and qualified by the united
intelligence to indicate the choice
of the majority, furnishes the
means, ami ihe only means, of
counteraction and of safely. The
rancour and perseverance with
which the whole body of the
open and secret friends of the
hank attack that convention, is
the proof, and the test, of its in
dispensability to us! and when it
shall have accomplished its task,
and declared the candidates which
a majority prefer, 1 trust those
candidates will

Ktioue island correspondent ot JNew-bngland Anti-Slavery bo

an excellent commentary on the il-
liberal sneers and censures of some
of our northern brethren,
pOn
the restrictions itnoosed in the
present day on the Blacks in the
Southern States:
"Prior to the revolutionary war,
and for many years after it, New
port was most extensively engaged
in the slave trade; and whilst pur
suing the trafic, accumulated im
mense sums ot money. As late
as the year 1788, Newport con
tained 3,500 negro slaves, more
than one half of its population, and
il retained them till necessity and
its utter inability to support them,
compelled it to engage in the dis
interested, cause of emancipation.
Although this large collection of
blacks was to be lound here forty
years ago, the town of Newport
cannot now produce one hundred
of their descendants. This fact
abundantly proves the trueism
that 1 have frequently seen asser
ted that the necrro cannot and
will not exist, manumitted, in the
neighborhood of the white man.
In the year 1730, the city of New-
port was so severely afflicted by
the villanies of the negro and In
dian slaves, that it was found ne
cessary to f)ass some summary
acts for their better regulation. In
the first place, it was ordained by
the State, that all negroes or In
dians, who were found out of
their places of residence after nine
o'clock at night, should be pub
licly whipped fifty lashes. After
the lapse of a little period, the act
was amended, requiring every ne
gro or Indian who was out at
night, to carry a lantern. The
lantern was accordingly carried,
but the light it should have con
tained, was omitted, and yet the
statute was not invaded. The
collective wisdom of the colony,
then ordained that the lantern
should contain a candle; this was
done, but the candle was not
lighted. The wisdom of thecolo
ny was once more collected, and
it was now ordained, that the ne
gro or Indian, should carry a
lantern containing a candle
which candle should he lighted.
After two years legislation, the
object aimed at was accomplish
ed. For this ainnsing fact, I am
indebted to an old statute book
which I to-day found at the office
of tle Mercury, a paper, now some
eighty years old formerly con
ducted by Doctor Franklin, and
now in the hand of Mr. Barber,
who, by the way, is a very fine old
fellow and a famous antiquarian."

Q3 suit of a singular nature
is now pending in the U. S. Dis
trict Court in this city. It will
be recollected, that some tix or
nine months since, there was a'
fraud committed on the United
States Bank, by obtaining, on a
forged check, upwards of 6000
dollars. Suspicion fell upon a
family named Drew, father and
two ?ons then in this city. Short
ly after, they were arrested, and
on searching their persons, a cor
responding amount to that ob
tained from the bank, vva? found
on the person of the elder Dre
which was taken by the Mayor
and placed in the hank. There
was no money lound in the pos
session of the other two. When
their trial came on, ihe sons con
fessed their guilt, and were con
victed, and sentenced by ihe
Court. The falh.er was released.
He h as now brought a suit a
gainst the Mayor of the city, to
recover the amount (6010) found
in hi possesion at ihe lime of his
arrest. We learn that able coun
sel are engaged in hi- case.

of dress, with which he is enabled
to walk under the water. He suc

weeks since, before a large num

walk under water with perfect
safety, having all the time the use
of his limsb. Mr. Campbell has
recently arrived in Augusta, and
given notice that he "will go down
trom a platform in the middle of
the river, where he will be seen
only from the bridge. He will
stay on the bottom 10 or 15 min

strong, he will walk to the shore."
