emancipation, a full equivalent in moiiet im
the slaves so emancipated.” I'or a long time
in this State, there have been efforts yearly
made in the Legislature to take the Constitu.
ttonal steps necessary for calling a Convention,
and the friends ofa Convention have generally
supported the measure with the view of repeal
ing that clause. The law ofthe last Legisla.
lure, in relation to a Convention, was suppor
ted by the Van Buren party in that body al
most toa man. It was warmly opposed by
most ofthe Whig members and principally on
account of the danger of agitating the quest ion
of slavery. If emancipation was the object
of those who supported the law, they did not
venture to name their designs.
It is well known here that Mr. Clay is
warmly opposed toa Convention. While the
Convention law was under discussion in the
Legislature, letters were received from him,
remonstrating against the passage ofthe law.

■ofAlpnach, in the Alps, constructed for the
■purpose of conveying trees from the mountains .
to the Lake of Lucerne. The following is a
description of this famous Slide :
“ This rail road, which was completed m
the year 1818, is formed entirely of about 250,-
000 large pine Lees, deprived of their bain,
and united in a very ingenious manner, with
out the aid ofiron. It occupied 100 workmen
during 18 months and the cost 100,000 lanes
or f’4 250. It is about 3 leagues, or 44,000
English feel long It has a trough about 6
feet broad, and trom 3to 6 deep. Ils bottom
is formed of three trees, the middle one ot
which has a grove cut in the direction o Hs
length, for receiving small rills of v at r, v. meh

the purpose of diminishing the friction. Ihe
whole Slide i» sustained by about two thou
■and supporters; audio many places H is at
tached in a very ingenious mannei to the nig
ged precipices of gramte. Ihe direction <d
the slide is sometimes straight, sometimes zig
zag, with an inclination of from ten to eigh
teen degrees. It is often carried along the
sides of hills, and 11 inks of precipitous rocks,
and sometimes over their summits. Occasion
ally it goes under ground, and at other times it
is conducted over the deep gorges by scaffold
i tigs 120 feet in height. The large pines,
which were 100 feet in length, and 10 inches
thick at their smaller extremities, ran thro’the
space of three leagues, or nearly nine miles,
in two minutes and a half! There is an ac
count of this wonderful slide m Babbage’s
Economy of Machinery and Manufactures,
quoted from Brewster’s Journal, from which,
and other documents in our common.place
books, we have made the above abridgment.”
Famine in India. — It is stated in a New
York paper that in April last, that tens of thou
sand cf the impoverished inhabitants up
per p; ovinces of Bengal were reduced to ut
ter starvation, of whom there were 149,000
at Ara alone fed on public bounty. The riv
ers Jumna and Gauges, as we had already
heard, were chocked up with dead bodies, and
air potsened with the effluvia. At Cawnpore,
Mullra, G'ualtor and Delhi, the same scenes
are exhibited. Many of the poor wretches
coming from famished provinces to places
where food was to be found, died on the road.
The Calcutta accounts to Ay>ril l()ih, say that
the children were seen crawling around the
dwors of the granaries picking up grains of
rice. That the roads were lined with dead
bodies, a prey to the Vulture and Jackal!. The
smaller streams actually obstructed by the
mass ofdead bodies thrown there by those who
were employed to clear the ways. The v orst
of it is, two months must elapse before the rai
ny season commences. The above shocking
events are imputed to the bad administration
o t'the British Government. If so, the “ap
preinJcesh:p system” is as much a failure in

Phi Kappa Hall, Sept. 17th, 1838.
Our Society lias recently been called, to
mourn the decease of her esteemed member,
P. L. JANES, who died at his father’s resi-
df./>ce in Greene countv, on the 10th inst., of
'tnatory fever. We have seen the infant
but just ushered into the dawn of existence,
quietly defying * !1 death—the youth snatched
, from the rni’d?*- of his gay associates, just as his
I affections osgan to gather in their embraces
I the objects o? pleasure —and the father firm
i and steady, or to.'termj " ill age removed from
I the arms of his fuinJ v > to die habitation of the
I dead—but we have ne." er 1 ' cill ’d of any death
| mere deeply solem? and ’*3 than \he pre
sent. 1 n the pride and vigoui of o l ' ,eri i !J g man-
with every thing to allure u r *d i. idling to
diso-u.tt .’‘bn h’ilh life—his future >icli with
promise ,;nu blessed with the confi.x’ 'ce ol
dotirrn parermS ‘‘ e has suddenly been summon
ed to appear before i.he bares his God. fecaro<
ly had the charms o.‘ C-Slege been dissolved,
and the ties of the S,uii?'2 been broken—*,
scarcely had we forgotten t.o t,?*-k c, him, as
one of our number, when we arc caked to reck
on him with the dead. He graduated at this
Institution in the summer of ’37, shat.ng ’hen
as throu h his whole course the highesi hon
our of his Class. No sooner had he received
the tides of his graduation, than in testimony
of his worth, he was elected to the chair of
Professor in the Mercer Institute. To this
office his rank as a scholar in Franklin Col
leg® justly entitled him. In our Society his
standing was high, ever watchful of her we!
fare, prompt and faithful in the discharge of
his duty, he always et j >yed that esteem and
confidence, which his superior talents merited-
In the beginning of last summer he went io the
North, visiting several Institutions, with the |
view of acquiring the knowledge necessary to I
the duties of his office. Here he remained
until the latter part of last month ; immedi
ately after his return he was seized wi:h
the fever, which terminated his life in the short
space of six days. The joy which sprung.iq>
in the bosom of relations on the close of his ah I
sence, has soon yielded not as before to the
axious expectation of a speedy return, but to
that settled grief, which knows no balm,—
Friends may weep over the remains of friends,
but there is no sorrow like that of the parent
over the death of a dutiful and honored child.
The green hop. s of the father had clustered
thick around him, and his flattering prospects '
promised them a full realisation. A mother’s
heart swelled with unconscious pride, as she
beheld tke early manifestations of ids useful
ness. A sister’s love too, warmed as she
looked upon her brother, the object of so many
affections. Alas! how soon has the house of I
hope and rejoicing been converted into the |
habitation of despair and mourning. But in
this their great affliction, his friend.- have that
consolation, w Inch is provided alone for the
friends of the Christian. They know tiiai their
sorrow is bis joy—their loss his gam. '1 ho’
the grave seemed dark and unwelcome, yet
before he bade them adieu, lie could say with
Christian faith,
“ Peace troubled sotlltl’ou necd'st not fear
Tiiy Great Provider still is near!”
Though death came to sever the ties ol earthly
love he came also to seal th ■ b inds ot heaven
ly bliss, and the pray er “ Lord receive my
soul!” came with its healing efficacy upon
their stricken hearts, as il dropped from the
lips of their son, when his spirit was üboul ti>
join the ransomed on high.
In the death ofotir bm.ofary brother, we
feel that our Society has sustained a secu re
loss, and in estimony of our icspcc: im his it ti
ny virtues,
Resolved Is*. That the members of our So
ciety deeply sympathize with the friends < ‘ the
deceased, tor the grievous uffl.clion they have
sustained;
Resolved 2d. That wc wear the usual badge
of mourning, for the space of thirty days, nail
that the Demdstheman Society ba iavilod to
unite in this testimony of respect.
Resolved 3rd. That fh.se resolutions bo pub

copy of the same be transmitted to bio bet euv< d
