While Job examined, his adversary endeavored all lie could to fret him oy dispraising his horse; and Job appeared worked up to fever bent. To cut short the story, the drove was taken against twenty-five hundred dollars in a check upon the Bank.

Dewey and Temple Fay, were appointed Secretaries. After an expression of the views of several gentlemen present, the following resolutions were offered and unanimously adopted. 1. Resolved, That Distinctive An-timasonry has no other object in view than the preservation of the constitution, and the Supremacy of the Laws. 2.

Resolved, That we are and have been WHIGS in name and practice and we deny that those persons are whigs, who are sworn to supprt1aws which are at war with republican principles and contrary to the laws of our country. --y Resolved, That we hold Freemasonry, in the language of the lamented Wirt as being at war with the first principles of the' social compact, treason against, society, and a wicked conspiracy against the laws of God and man, which ought to be pu down." 4. Resolved, That we hold that the evils to which our beloved country js subjected, as proceeding from the "malign influence" of a demoralizing and unprincipled institution, which has open ly set the laws at defiance, trampled upon its penalties, and elevated the perpetrators of a guilty outrage upon the liberty and life of a free citizen, not only to higher honors in its owq sanctuary of crime, but also in the state. 5. Resolved, That we view, in anti-masonry, the only hope of redemption from the thraldom of misrule, and that we hold those who would give up anti- masonry as abandoning: the liberty of their country, the supremacy of the laws," and the equality of the rights of its citizens.

Cant. Charles Spooner, of whale ship Erie, of Newport, to Miss Kintagara Oruruth. We clip the above notice from one of our Eastern papers. Happily, we have received from our attentive- correspondent, (that is the phrase) at Otaheite, an interesting account of the ceremonial. 1 he bride, Miss Kintugara Oruruth, says our correspondent, is the daughter of jjemsirjrgwomidammfr, one ot the chiefs ot the Island, is connected with most of the noblo families of the kingdom.

She is about 16 years of age, and of ft bright ma" nogany color, with her cheeks tatooed in the most lovely manner, and her ears slit in a style peculiarly facinating. Her eyes are large, and of a greenish color. Her lovely form, which was almost six feet six inches tall, was gracefuly envelloped in an old blanket, and during the performance of the matrimonial rites, the fair bride stood before her happy lover modestly engaged in masticating a sugar cane. The young lady js said to be accomplished, and delighted i the company assembled on this solemn occasion, by an exhibition of her superior skill in swimming. The bridegroom is a hearty 'mariner of Newport.

He was elegantly dressed for the occasion in a blue jacket and white trousers. He swore that the lovely Kintagara alone was fit to share the hammock of a Yankee sailor; and said that if the masters complained that he was unskillful in his business, whaling, they could not deny that his wife, at least, is a whaler. Disease in the feet of Sheep As the person employed on the farm of Anthony Anderson, at Dorchester Bridge, were shearing his sheep, on Tuesday, the shepherd called his attention to a small orifice bust, at the separation of the foot ot these animals, and told him that it was a disease called the uwm in the foot, which Anderson, though an experienced farmer, informs us he had never before seen, or indeed heard of. The shepherd advised that the wound should be pared down so as to get at the head, and with a strong needle he passed some doubles of. thread through it, and extracted what he called the worm.

It appears to be a Hydatid, or bladder-like skin containing a fluid not unlike starch, and a small portion of a hairy substance, resembling the short wool on the legs of a sheep. Mr. A. extracted one such worm, from each foot all similarly placed at the artiaulation of the hoofs and found five or six nf his shoon in like manner after extracting the cause of the disease, whatever name be applied to it, he filled withpepper and salt.

The most remarkable feature of this paper is its verbosity; which is not uncommon in an at-' tempt to plead a bad cause. I shall give it but brief notice at present, especially as the Report of the Anti-Slavery Committee on Colonization, about to be published in your paper, contains a thorough refutation of most of his doctrine. And here your neighbor printers are most respectfully invited to copy the Report of our Committee from the Free Press. What most deserves attention In Mr H's.

communication is, his proposal to make a general separation" between the white and colored1 population of our country, and to remove the latter to Africa. In viewing this proposition we are first 4 struck with the ridiculous. Pray what will be done with the thousands and tens of thousands of mullattoes and mestizos of all possible shades between block and white. I We are not told how the heterogeneous mixture, such as it exists in Louisiana and elsewhere, is to be separated, Again, They are to be removed with their own consent.1' But how is this con- sent to be obtained It is idle for him to ay that Northern Abolitionists have succeeded in influencing the people of color to be ODDOsed to emigrating to Afrisa." Any insinuation that the free people of color have not always been opposed to African Colonization is false. They have been hostile to the scheme from the hour it was first proposed to them.

In 1817, the year of jhe Society's formation they assembled Philadelphia, to the number of 3006, to inquire into the merits of that institution. After kn(f, deliberate, mature investigation, the Chairman put the ques tion: Those in favor of going to Africa will manifest it by Baying aye. Perfect si lence prevailed. On the contrary those who would not go will make it manifest bv savin? no. NO burst from the three thousand.

Resolved, That we never will separate ourselves voluntarily from the slave population in this country they are our brethren by the ties of consanguinity, of suffering, and of wrong and we feel that there is more virtue in suffering privations with them, than in fancied advantages for a And the following from the Report of their Conventional proceedings in 1832: "Resolved, That we still, solemnly and sincerely protest against any interference, on the part of the American Colonization Society, with the free colored population in these United States, so long as they shall countenance or endeavor to use coercive measures, (either directly or indirectly,) to colonize us in any place which is not the object of our choice. And we ask them respectfully, as men and as Christians, to cease their unhallowed persecutions, of a people already sufficiently oppiessed, or if, as they profess, they have our weuare ana prosperity ai neart, to assist us in the object of our choice.

Both of these are opposed to drunkenness, therefore drunkenness is a good thing! Now let us associate two classes who support the Colonization Society.

A Kentuckian horse drover being in South Carolina with a drove, happened to taken ittoth neiehberhoocf of Gen. H. whose character for jockying and maneuvering in trade is much more celebrated than his feats in arms. The Kentuckian having penect acquaintance with his character, went to see him to sell him horses or to swap or to run a race, as the destinies might decree. He was one of our careless unconcern ed knock-down and drag-out looking sort ot fellows; who assume just much simplicity of countenance and ad dress, as circumstances might require He had the appearance ot about twenty two or twenty-three years of age, and as usual, was dressed in the blue mixed jeans to hide dirt, and wore a drab coioreu hat for the same reason.

Daddy told me if 1 come on your parts to call on you, and he reckoned may be you would buy a pair of matches, or help me out in tradin: for he said you bad a power of money, andunderstood tradin to a scribe.

Without donbt Mr Breckinridge's shiploads, which were coerced away as truly as if it had been done with a cart-whip," consented to go Mr II. says that, when the Colonization plan shall have been brought into, and kept in full operation," Then We shall not hear of the free people of color, either in the Northern or southern states, claim ing this as their native country.
