“ PLAIN TRUTH.”
A semi-monthly publication issues from r. press
in Canandaigua, New York, under this unassum
ing tide, am) finds its way to many even in this
state, who consider Missionary Societies a a sore
“evil unde r the sun.” The numbers which we
have seen exhibit a wonderful industry in “glean
ing the blunted shafts that have recoiled,” dipping
them in the bitterest gaul, and “ aiming them at
the shield of truth again;” and all under the co
lour of the most refined and pure benevolence.
They remind us of Mr. Chubb’s tracts, in some
of which he appears to be a great friend to Christi
anity, and pretends to exhibit the Gospel of
Christ in its genuine simplicity, though it is not
difficult to discern that his true intention was to
destroy it. There is, however, a very remarkable
difference between them in one respect. There
is an air of decency in the tracts of Mr. Chubb,
which the numbers of Plain Truth cannot con
sistently claim. In scurrility Paine must yield
them the palm, and we conceive that the spirit in
which they are written is very nearly allied to
that which was once used us a watch word, crush
the wretch. Their Harpy touch pollutes the pu
rest banquet of the soul. They “ spit their ve
nom forth,” regardless where it falls, and vent
their spleen against all who are engaged in w >rks
of benevolence and mercy. Satire, ridicule, in
vective and vituperation breathe through every
line too loathsome to be named. The following
extract will shew what feeling- they exercise to
towards the slave holding states, and with what
justice they treat everv subject which comes uu
dtr their .notice. We give if as one of the most
unexceptionable that can be found in any of the
numbers which we have seen.
“,A weekly paper is published in Mount Zion,
Ga. called the “ MissionAßV.” On one column
you will see heart-rending lamentations over the
situation of the Hindoos—on the other large gang
of negroes are advertised to be “sold for no fault.”
A jailer advertises a negro to be sold for his pri on
charges—that is, an innocent negro is seized and
incarcerated by white ruffians, and iheu sold to
pay for the rent of a loathsome jail !”
And yet this paper, which denounces the civil
officers of our state while discharging their pub
iick duties, as a set of “ white ruffians ,” has its
patrons among us I Surely, with some men, when
the institutions of the Gospel are to be crushed,
“ the end sanctities the means.”
Indian Bribery. —A letter from John Ridge, h
Cherokee, published in the Boston Recorder,
•tides, that at the session of the Council in Octo
ber last, an attempt was made by the Creek chief
Mclntosh, to bribe the head men of the Cherokee
Station. In a letter to the President of the Coun
eil, he promised that if the Chiefs would let the
United States have the land they wanted, he
would make the Commissioners give them pres
ents to the amount of S7OO0 —and “ nobody
should know H.” The offer was received with
disdain ; and Mclntosh summoned to attend the
Council, before which his letter was read. The
President then made the following remark* : “ A
traitor is looked upon by all nations in the dark
est colour, and is more despicable than the mean
est reptile that crawls upon the earth. An hon
ourable and upright character is more valuable
than all the fiithy lucre of the whole world.” He
then adverted to the conduct of Mclntosh, and
*Sid that it was a maxim with the Cherokees nev-
*rto trust a man who had violated (he trust re-!
posed iu him ; and as Mclntosh had done this,
be was now divested of his trust, and might return
in peace to bis nation.

The correspondence between Governour

terms, the smallest portion of the territory occu

be laid before the people, as we presume it will be, !
when it can be done without jeopardizing the j
publick interest, we risk nothing in asserting, I
that the zeal and ability with which the rights of;
Georgia have been advocated by her Executive,
will call forth the approbation of every unpreju

We have passed from cotton to wheat, and
from wheat to iron. On the wheat debate, they
contrived to work up a fierce personal quarrel
between the sister states of Virginia and Penn
sylvania, which were respectively advocated hy
Hessrs. Barboui and Ingham. Che quarrel had
no more to do with the debate, than any one
quarrel has with another—both indeed were con
tests, but other connexion there was none.
When the two game cock.® were at length parted
by Mr. Clay, Hr. Webster ro®e with a sardonick

THE MUMMY.
The following is an extract of a letter from a geu
tleman of distinction lately in Charleston to his
friend in Georgia.
Dear Colonel —l have just come from visiting
the greatest curiosity I ever beheld ; it is a young
lady three thousand years old —a sombre com
plexioned !as from Egypt, the land of the Pharo
ahs, the Ptolemies, the Pyramids! She is arrayed
in a cere cloth framed on the banks of the Nile,
and stands in a ‘•* narrow home,” decorated will,
all the taste and science of the most learned peo
ple in existence, long before the invention of let
ters. “ Dark and unlovely are her looks,”
though she does not actually “grin horribly .1
ghastly -mile,” her fair and well set teeth appear
ing full and uudecayed as the everlasting bright
ness of the tar under winch she was embalmed.
Singular fated girl ! Little did she mink, when
on Iter dying couch, that she would be exposed in
this “ undiscovered country,” some thirty centu
ries alter h--r mortal existence, to the keen g.ize
of male curiosity, without a sense of shrinking
modesty, -and serving as a spectacle of curious
wot.der, and a mere “thing to make comparisons
on,’” and shew the belies of this new world, in
the deathless language of one Shakespeare, a man
of yesterday Compared with her, that “though
they paint an inch thick, to her complexion must
they come at last.” Alas, poor Cleopatra! did I
view a symbol of thy matchless beauty, in this
thy ancestor of S’the olden time.”
Three thousand ye rs ago the lady I now look
upon, was in lliebes, the city with its hundred
gates —she is now in Charleston—what a travel
ler ! Three thousand years het.ee, what wn.
< harlestoti be! Awful comparison! What 1-
Babylon, Ninevab, Huiheck, Palmyra, Persepolis
Yes—what will our boasted tour corners, the city
hall, court house, arsenal and St. Mtciiaei’-
church with its lofty spire, what will they be in
thirty centuries?—Buried 111 earth or ocean from
which they rose, and “ not a stone tell where
they lie.”
Three thousand years is a kind of eternity to
the human mind. It brings us, at a moment’s
glance, to the remotest ages of antiquity. When
the patriarch Joseph died, “they euiuahued hitu,
and lie was put in a coffin in Egypt.” Gen. 1. z 6.
And so doubtless was Potiphar’s wife, and this ob
ject now before my eyes might possibly be the
remains of that very personage! facet signum!
I must confess that of all the natural or artihcial
curiosities I ever beheld, nothing ever tilled my
mind with so many profound, striking and extra
ordinary sensations.

Tribuna of out country, the Steam Boat cause,
involving the rigid of a stale to an exclusive mon

gued, and deliberately adjudged. The decision
was declared by the Chiel Justice, 011 Monday
last week, and is adverse to the authority of a
state in passing any excluding and monopolizing
Act. By this dec-sion it would appear, (hat the
sovereignty of a State under the federal constitu

passed an unconstitutional law, which must there

A correspondent of the New-York American,
is strongly reminded by Mr. Clay’s argument, dur
ing the debate on laying a duty on cotton bag
gmg of the economical plans of the collier’s wile
in the farce, “ Trick upon trick.” Her husband
had been sentenced by a mock tribunal to be
hung, aud she came to take her last farewell of
him—“ Husband,” says she, 11 do we find the hal
ter? 1 thought 1 might as well keep the money
in our own village, and so as I came along, 1 got
one from neighbour I’wist’enj, and he says as how
it is strong enough to hang the king himself.”
Beguing \lr. Clay’s pardon, we think it too
much to be hung and have to pay for the halter
too.

A letter from Paris, of the 13tb JaH. remark?—
You have not ihe least conception what a noise
the President’s viessage has made here in Paris,
and, I may say, judging from this spot, all over
Europe. It is in Hie mouth of every one whereso
ever we go. The liberals like it exceedingly ;
Ihe ultras consider it very bad policy, aud as par
taking of hectoring. In the English society here,
the Americans are continually asited, if their
country will not assist England, if she happens to
become engaged in a war with the rest of Europe ;
and among the French, the conversation of
ten turns on America. They see with wonder her
rising greatness.
Late accounts from St. Domingo, state that in
consequence of intelligence having been received
there that a French fleet was fitting out at Bre-I,
every man wbo was liahle to bear arms was com
pelled to do military duty; it being believed that
an attempt would he made upon that Island.

Breach of Marriage Promise. —At the February
Term of the Circuit Court of New York, recently
finished at Cooperstown, N. Y. two important
causes were tried before Judge Nelson The first
was the case of Mary Arnold vs. Joseph W Mof
fat. for a breach ot promise of marriage. No di
feiice was -et up, and the jury found a verdict of
three thousand dollars damages. The other was
a similar case, but the re-ull not so favourable for
Ihe fair penitent. Miss Sophia Pringle was plain
tiff, and the Rev. Nathaniel Hase defendant.—
The trial was managed with singular ability by
the counsel on both -ides—verdict. Six Cents for
ihe defendant. The jury, it seems, were guided
m ihtir verdict by a written release, winch, prior
to the commencement of the suit, had been iiiutu
ally interchanged by the parties. There wa- also
an interesting case of seduction tried at the same
term, in which a young girl in humble circum
stances, was plaintiff, and a gentleman of Albany
defendant. Mr. Williams was also engaged for
th- fair plaintiff ill this case.; aud although the
defendant was powerfully defended by able coun
sel, yet the overwhelming eloquence of Mr. W.
not only secured for him the admiration of the
bar, and the cheers of the multitude, but what
was better still—a verdict of Nine Hundnd Dol
lars for the future support of the blighted damsel.

Fxecution of Thurtell. —This gambler and mur
lerer was executed at Hertford, England, on the
9th of January last, * It is supposed that 30.000
persons were ptesent at the execution —numbers
having been drawn there in expectation that he
would make some disclosure* respecting the mur
der of Vt eare ; but Thurtell, to the last, peremp
torily refused making the least confessions. Thur
tell had been in his youth an officer in the British
navy, and fought bravely for his country, but un
fortunately he became a gambler, and eventually
a murderer. The following are some of the parti
culars of the murder for which lie suffered. Thur
tell, Hunt and Weare were connected together a
professed gamblers—but on one occasion it was
alleged that W’eare had retained more than his
-hare of booty, on which the other two determin
ed oil his death. Thurtell took Weare out in a
gig, and Hunt and a person named Probert follow
ed soon after. Thurtell shot Weare at his side,
but the wound not being mortnl, the latter jump
ed out of the gig—he was pursued by Thurtell.
who cut his throat. The parties afterwards met
at the cottage of Probert, who secreted the body
first in one pond and then in another. Every at
tempt was made to conceal the murder, but in
vain. The discharge of a pistol, the finding in
the road a pistol and a knife covered with blood,
the bottom of the gig being also bloody, arid the
disappearance of Weare, excited suspicions. The
gig had been hired-by Phiirtell, and the pistol
which had been found in the road, was known Jo
have been sold to him. Thurtell, Hunt and Pro
bert were arrested, and the two latter made the
most ample confessions. On the trial of Thurtell
he plead his own cause, and displayed consider
able ingenuity in the management of it. He was,
however, condemned, and has already expiated
his crime on the gallows. Hunt is to be banished
for life. The fate of Thurtell, though just, is a!
melancholy one, and should be a solemn warning
to Iftose who are addicted to gambling—a vice
which imperceptibly hardens the heart and ren
ders it callous to all the gentler feelings which en
