The marshal of this district yesterday re
vived from tile President full pardons for
Samuel G. Poole and Francis Oglesby, two
of the Irresistible’s crew, who had been sen
tenced to sutler death on the 1 llth inst. They
were immediately set at liberty. The, others

PRESENCE OF MIND.
A short time since a gentleman of respect
ability residing in tbc vicinity of Baltimore,
being absent from bis dwelling, H’t his
daughter in charge of the house until his re
turn-—towards morning, n rapping was heard
at the door, when the daughter, presuming
it to be her father, rose from bed and unlock
ed the door to admit him, when she discov
ered a stranger. She immediately called
loudly her fathers name, when the villain
(supposing him to bn at home) decamped
with all possible speed. On the Monday
night following, a second attempt was made
to obtain admission, and which was effected,
by three men, with the aid of false keys.—
The daughter, after an ineffectual attempt to
wake a brother, seised his gun and discharg
ed it atitho head of one of them, who wore a
mask. At that instant two of them moved
nil', and .after a few seconds, the masked gen
tleman also got off, leaving his inask behind,
perforated with numerous small shot.

the noted kidnapper Dean Marvell, of
Delaware, with an associate by the name
of Curtis Steene, were decoyed and
apprehended by the Protecting Society
of Salisbury and have since been safely

They were taken in the very act r.f de

Mr. Lcdyard, in Newburgh, was missing
from her place, of residence. One day
last week the body of a female, about
the same age, was discovered on the
shore of the North River, near New-
Windsor, and a Coroner’s Jury pronoun
ced that she had been wilfully murdered
by some person or persons unknown
The body was decently buried—it was
afterwards taken up and identified to be
the body of the girl above described.—
Some circumstances occurred about the
time she was missing, which caused sus
picion to fix upon Mr. Ledyard, ns the
perpetrator of the horrid deed. He was
accordingly taken up and examined on

was soon called lur. We arc happy to
hnd that such an one has been presented
to the public, with corrections and many
useful additions. It is now offered to
the craft, and w ill, we are certain, com
mand their increased approbation. It is
our intention, as soon as we can find
room, to bestow on it a few remarks, and
present a general outline of the whole.
In tlie mean time, we would recommend
to those of our brethren, who are. desi
rous of obtaining the best information
concerning the great truths and inesti
mable principles of their order, the pe<
rnsal oi the following extracts from the
\V estern Review.” The editor of this'
periodical work, commands a distinguish
ed rank, as a mason and a scholar.—
We perfectly coincide with him in his
commendations of the author and liis
book.
‘ Mr. ( Iross is well known in the ma
sonic world. lie has been an able, ar
dent, and indefatigable labourer in the
cause of the craft. His amenity and mo
desty of deportment, the purity of his
principles, and correctness of his life ; in
line, his truly masonic character, have
insured him the esteem and respect of his
brethren, wherever they have had an
opportunity of cultivating liis acquaint
ance. His well-known uncommon ac
quirements in mystic lore, united to the
affection entertained for him as an indi
vidual, must secure for his vVork an ex
tensive patrongc. And, we confess, we
hope it will be patronized. Its merit
consists in the selection of the best and
most universally approved system of il
lustrations, and the classification of ma
sonic emblems, in such a manner as to as
sist the lecturer, and to promote unifor
mity in working. This latter part of the
plan is in a great measure new, and con
stitutes ail important improvement, li
will be of no use, however, to any hut
“ brothers of the mystic tie.” For them
only was it intended, and by them only
will il be favorably regarded.
“Mr. Cross lias devoted himself al
most exclusively, for some time past, to
the interests of free masonry, fie has
travelled from one end of the continent
to the other, lecturing in every part ol
his course, comparing the modest ol
work which lie has observed in different
lodges, and endeavouring, as f.ir as pos
sible, to bring about a perfect and un
varying uniformity. To aid in the ac
complishment of this lending obje.ct, is
the design of the work before us. W c
wish it therefore extensive circulation
among the craft, that its utility in this
respect may he fairly tested. Whetlici
Mr. Cross he right iy not in all the mi
nute particulars, a general acquaintance
with his work will lend at least lo awaken
inquiry, nnd, where differences have ex
isted, to asceilain which mode is the most
i correct.”
in the world for a respite. At length
liis Infernal Majesty offered to give him
a few years time for the sum of five hun
dred dollars^ which the farmer immedi
ately presented in hanlAiotcs, hut the
devil told him ” he durslnottouch any
paper money—liis fingers would burn
it.” The farmer then promised and
swore that be would have the notes ex
changed for specie the next day, and if
his majesty would please to call on him
the ensuing night lie should have it.—
pon this assurance the nevil departed,
md the next day the farmer came to this
place, where ho procured the specie for
liis notes, nnd returned home, happy in
the thoughts of getting eosily rid oi' liis
unwelcome visitor. In the course of
the evening a Yankee pedlar stopped
it Ids house te asked for lodgings, which
wore refused, and on the Yankee's in
sisting to stay, ns lie could go no-further
that uight, Hnd the farmer told him that
lie had better not as the devil was to be
there shortly, and would in all probabili
ty take him along. The Yankee, nltlio'
a little surprised at the oddity of the man,
replied that lie was willing to risk it.—
He unharnessed liis nag, swallowed liis
supper, and after providing himself with
a good club, took his station in n private
corner. The firmer stood his table be-
bro the fire, at one end of which lie
took liis seat, and at the other end para-
led his dollars, apparently wishing Ion-
,-ord as much as possible, tin* sooty lin
gers and sulphurous scent of Mr. Bel/.o-
bub. Accordingly at a late hour the
loop (lew open, in stalked his Majesty,
accoutred as before, spitting lire and vo
miting smoke in his passage to the table
which contained the farmer’s ransom.—
The Devil who hates formality, imme
diately commenced gathering up the pie
ces, when our Yankee, stepping up be
hind him. levelled a blow at liis head
with the club which did no further inju
ry than knocking off one of the horns of
.Mr. Devil, who seemed disposed to make
hi« escape, but fortunately a second hit
with the club knocked him down, when,
with the assistance of the farmer, who
hy this time had not so much dread of
liis Satanic Majesty, he was tied te con
veyed to the prison of this place.”
Horrid Transaction.—The Western
Reserve Chronicle ; (printed at bar
ren, Trumbull county, Ohio,) of the
1st inst. gives a distressing account of
the death of Philemon, William and Cy
rus, three only children of Mr. Zaplina,
and Mrs. Lois Stone, of Kinsman, in that
county, who were drowned by the hand
of their mother! The circumstances
are peculiar, and were communicated for
publication by a Clergyman. Mr. and
Mrs. Stone possessed amiable disposi
tions, sustained unblemished characters,
and had lived together in tbc utmost har
mony. During a late revival of religi
on, Mrs. S. was awakened, and supposed
she had experienced a change of heart.
Soon after, however, she settled down
in a state of gloom and melancholy, and
declared that she had committed the un
pardonable sin. Under this impression,
and believing, that, if taken off at their
present tender age. the children would
be happy ; and believing, also, that, hav
ing committed the unpardonable sin, no
injury would follow to herself, while her
husband was gone to meeting, on Sun
day, the 14th of May, she drowned the
little innocents, in a spring about 3 feet
deep. Verdict of the Coroner’s Inquest,
was, drowned by the mother, in a fit of
insanity.
credulity, than one that another metal can
create gold.
Bank paper, not being capital, or able to
create capital, it is to lie further examined,
whether il encourages and creates labor nnd
industry, as it also pri tends. If it did, thu
new created industry, would retain the spe
cie hank paper it expels. This inquiry lies
m a comparison, betweena legal institution
for acquiring wealth to an enormous extent,
without talents or industry ; and leaving its
acquisition to the regulation of talents nnd
industry. Wealth, in both cases, is suppos
ed to he the spur to exertion. By a labori
ous cultivation of my talents mill persever
ing industry, 1 acquire a moderate degree of
wealth, while another, by but king, acquires
infinitely more, without labor or talents.—
Why should I subject myself to the fatigue
of becoming learned nnd useful, to become
the scoff of a rich, idle and volupturns order?
Their abundance, will, by comparison, dimi
nish my competence to almost nothing ; and
of course it will be diminished in my own
eyes. Under this view of things, will I la
bor ? No, I will go to the lottery where there
is no blanks ; where every ticket draws an
annual prize ; and where, as a stock-jobber,
I may be as rich, as idle, as ignorant and as
useless as a bishop, nobleman, or king.
WImt will the world say of ourexperiment,
if stock-jobber, an epithet, universally consi
dered as far more humiliating than those of
bishop, nobleman, or king should become the
title of a separate and superior order or in
terest in the United States.
HcreditnVy and hierarchical orders encou
rage industry in the same way as stock or
ders do, hy taxing it to maintain themselves
in idleness and affluence. The lash is appli
ed to slaves, and indirect taxation to free
men, lo encourage industry. Kings, Lords,

both causes, to gain wealth and leisure for

became cold, it was thought expedient that u

Great credit is due lo several of our young la

taken classes which they regularly attend, and
by their fidelity and zeal, have caused u recipro

The Devil Caught—“ Some time since
his majesty king Lucifer was caught and
safely delivered over to the custody ol
the jailor ol this county, where he is at
present in confinement, well secured and
ironed, to wait the decision ot tne law. -
The circumstance* arc as lar as they
have conic to my knowledge, as follows :
“ A farmer in a neighbouring township,
after liis family had retired to rest, was
sitting by the’ lire ruminating over the
events of the day and the prospects of to
morrow when suddenly the door of his
apartment was thrown open and in stain
ed a gigantic figure with a large pair ol
horns, very fiery' eyes and terrible as
pect, and a long brindled tail, which
swung about tlie brimstone tyrant in ali
the majesty of ugliness. The terrified
farmer stood aghast, whilst in a hoarse
and hollow voice, he learned to his Utter
fear and astonishment, that the august
personage before hitn was the Devil,
who had come to take possession of his
body and soul. Tlie luckless farmer
plead off. The Devil was inexorable—
The terrified man fell upon liis knees
and bcgsjci a d;'y, J>C9fl»isi»S every tiling
five million (nut) annually, though it had no
money, it would soon have an hundred mil
lion of capital, which would attract money.
The introdit' lion of hank paper is imilorpily
the epoch from which we are lodato the di
minution of spent;. If specie, therefore is
capital, bank paper, (the representative of
specie) diminishes capital, if specie is not ca
pital, neither can i s representative he capi
tal. It is by real capital, that specie is equa
lized among commercial nations. As a re
presentative, it is subordinate und responsi
ble to its principal. Bank paper cannot pos-
ss an intrinsic value, if the value ufspecit
representative—it cannot increase capital:
and a surplus, beyond a necessary curmi
cy, far from falling w ithin any idea of the
term capital, can only exist by feeding on
capital the. principal oi* currency. If hank
paper wus new capital, :so lar from expiri
ng the representative oil the old, it would re
ptile more representation and attract spe
cie ; or if like specie, it was the responsible
representative/)(capitalor property, il would
be subordinate to us principal. Oil the con
trary, it is made by law ,tn irresponsible re
presentative of capital nr property; am) n
currency converted front the servant into tin
master of property, necessarily becomes a
tyrant to secure itspovvor.
The advocates of banking admit this do,
trine, by contending that it is beneficial to
nation to expel specie hy paper ; as it causes
an exchange of the representative of capita'
for the thing itself, and when we see gold
and silver fly from a countiy, because it is
unable to create capital, and because capital
can only retain a competent representation

I offer you what may be deemed a literary
curiosity. It is a supposed Indian oration on
the dentil of Com. Decatur, writtou by a fe
male now confined for insanity in Hie cells
of the Philadelphia Alms-House. The un-
lappy person being asked by the keeper
whether she would take pleasure in reading,
answered in the ullirmative: and added that
she would also gladly compose on any sub-
,eet which might lie suggested. She lias
written several pieces of a remarkable cha
racter, besides the following, which will, I
think be admitted as an ingenious allegory
conveying an excellent moral.—

The. warrior of the water is gone to the

rejoice not in his coming, for he came not in
the storm of battle.
The warrior of the waters was a great
lion. When he rose in his rage, and shook
himself, the green bills trembled. When in
anger he thundered with his voice, the storm
did follow. He bounded over the waters,
-the beasts of the other mountains hid
with fear. He stretched liis paw over the
great waters, and gored the lion of the east
He was mighty and great as the Alleghany ;
He was strong te fierce as the. torrent down
Uie steeps of Niagara. Mighty and great he
was. Yet a little bee did overcome him.
Public opiniun was a small bee, und the lion
might have crushed it with his loot. But
the little bee crept into the ear of the great
lion and stung him on the striuge of life. The
