TUESDAY MORNING, MAR. 18, 1345.
WARD ORGANIZATIONS. The American Re
publicans in some of the wards of tins city
have formed associations and organized tor bu
siness, and the example will no doubt be fol
lowed in every ward of the city. 1 lie divi
sion of the city into twenty wards may create
Rome delay, or cause a remodelling of the as
sociations; but we fully expect, that by next
tall there will bo such an array of the party as
to hold the control of the elections. The
measures of the American Republicans are
purely American, and the party will hold it
self aloof from both of the oid parties. It is
intended that the people shall act for them
selves, and not follow the dictation ot dema
gogues or leaders; which will be a wholesome
improvement upon past parlizan experience.—
Tin; American Republicans will go tor "mea
sures, not men"-—the public good, anil not a
division of tbe spoils.
Ttic MIU.ERITIIS. Scenes such as are re
presented in an article from a Portland paper,
(published in another column,) are calculated
to diminish confidence in the boasted superiori
ty of mankind over the brute creation —(or
brutes could not conduct themselves more irra
tionally than the Millcritcs in Maine, as shewn
ly the testimony given on the trial of one;
Dainmon, in the article above referred to.—
How females, who have heretofore held respec
table stations in life, can consent to engage in J
such indecent and revolting exorcises, is most
extraordinary. It seems tiiat the spiritual wife
system has extended from the Mormons to the
.Miilerites, and that prostitution forms a part of
the religion of both sects; and by botii is the
system attempted to he justified by the perver-j
sion of scripture. To men and women of loose
morals, so convenient a religion is no doubt ac- j
ceptable; and they delude and betray the inno
cent and credulous. The strong arin of the
civil power should be interposed for the pre
servation of morals, for such practices as are |
detailed in the trial before mentioned, sliold
not be tolerated m a civilized community.—
The world, it seems, is to come to an end in a
few weeks, according to the ignorant prophe
cies of the Millcritcs—and truly, if it were in
hibited by such people alone, it would be lit
tle matter if the end were to be in a few days
instead of weeks. Man strives to mar what
God has made perfect; and employs the highest
attribute of his nature, reason, to degrade him
self to the level of the beast of the field.
LLMAL VOTING. Tlic list of acts passed at
the late session of the Legislature has shewn
us, that we were mistaken in supposing that
nothing had been done in relation to frauds at
elections. A bill was passed to prevent illegal
voting, but what are its provisions we know
riot, hut hope that they aie sufficiently rigid to
insure the object in view. No honest man can
object to any law which will prevent the corn
elective franchise. Roth of the old parties
have charged each other with illegal proceed
ings to insure victory, and we have no doubt
that the charges on both sides were well-found
ed—it is not, therefore, to be supposed, that
either will complain of a measure to prevent
like abuses in future. There is one feature
which we sincerely hope has been incorporated
in the law just passed; and that is, the preven
tion ol those who may be hereafter naturalized I
from voting for two years after they shall have
become citizens. This would abolish the dis-J
graceful practice of soliciting foreigners to be
come citizens immediately preceding elections,!
and the payment by the parties, of all expenses'
attendant upon their naturalization. It would 1
also prevent the numerous frauds which are
new practised in procuring naturalization pa
pers. j
THE STREETS. The condition of the streets
is abominable, and is likely to be worse, unless
new contracts for cleaning them are immediate-!
(y made. The law under which former corr-j
tracts were made remains in force unless re- 1
pealed by a new ordinance; and we would
therefore suggest to tire City Commissioners the j
propriety of advertising at once for proposals.;
A lull passed the Second Branch of the City j
Council some time since on this subject, but itj
yet remains unacted on in the First Branch.— ,
In the meantime filth is accumulating, and the;
health of the city becoming endangered. Thel
contract system saved to the city during the
past year upwards of seven thousand dollars,
and would probably save more the present!
year; and it is not, therefore, likely that it will
6c abandoned. There should either be prompt
action in the matter by the Councils, or the!
City Commissioners should act without delay:
under the existing ordinance.
LECTURES ON MESMERISM. It will be seen
by the notice in another column, that the cele
brated lecturer and experimenter on Mesmer-!
jam, I'rof Debonnevillo, is now delivering a
series of lectures on this much abused science,
in the Masonic 11 nil. The Professor has been
lecturing in Washington city for the last six!
weeks, to large and intelligent audiences.
THE MUSEUM. The popularity of the Sa
loon, continues unabated, and so it will re
main, so long as the manager puts forth such'
attractive bills, as the one announced for to
night. See the advertisement in another pait 1
of to-day's paper.
THE CONCERT. Ladies and gentlemen will I
bear in mind that the second and last Concert 1
of the young Misses Bramson will be given to
morrow evening at Calvert Hall.
RESIGNED. The Philadelphia Inquirer states
that William L. Ashmead, Esq., the Agent of
the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany has resigned his situation, in consequence
of the contest between the said company and
the Canal Company, which requires his person
al attention to be given to the Ericsson Steam
boat Line, ha being largely interested in the |
same.
THE SLAVE TRADE. The National Intelli
gencer of yesterday lias a communication from
| \V. McLain, Secretary of the American Colo
| nidation Society, in which he introduces part of
a letter, dated Jan. -4, from Mr. Roheits, Go
vernor of Liberia. The Governor says:
"You will no doubt be a little surprised to
hear that the well-known brig ItnlciiUa ' left
the coast a week or two ago for the 'Havana'
| with upwards of 400 slaves on board, and in
! sight too of a liritish cruiser. It had been ar
| ranged, it seems, a month or tw o before be
• tween the parties, that the 'A talanta 1 should re-;
I turn to Cape Mount at a set time, land her of-
J fieors and crew, delivor the vessel into other '
j hands, receive a cargo of miserable human be
ings, and make the best of her way oil the 1
| coast. This was done in a few hours. The ;
\ 'Atalanta' being an old trader on the coast, and
j known by most of tlio naval ollicers on tliissta- j
j tion, was not expected by the officers oi the
men-of-war in sight; consequently no notice was
taken of her, nor did they discover the delusion )
; until the vessel was far, faraway, beyond their j
| reach.
"Thus you see how difficult it. is to suppress |
i tlio slave trade on this coast while slavers can
obtain such facilities."
Mr. McLain remarks—"Such is the state- !
; meat of the fact, and all that Gov. Roberts j
i says on the subject. It would have been plea-j
I sant to know who owned the Atalanta; who
transferred livr to tho slavers; who was the cap- j
lain of her, and what became of him and his
crew. These questions could doubtless he an-j
! swered by somebody in New York, as the Ata- j
| junta is a well-known vessel and has long been :
: in the African trade. Tinu, and those who
know, will doubtless reveal some facts which i
will tlirow light on the perpetrators of this
1 guilty deed."
It would bo most gratifying to see means a
dopted which would effectually prevent the con
tinuance of tins infamous and inhuman traffic.
If citizens of the United States be engaged in it
in any form, we hope tiiat they may be disco,
vered and punished.
BOARDING SCHOOL FOR BOYS. WC take
; great pleasure in referring our readers to the
1 advertisement ol Mr. JULIUS A. FAY, who is
about to establish a Boarding School for boys,
at Elizabethtown, X. J. Mr. Fay has, for se
veral years, occupied a prominent place among
teachers of the highest repute in our city; and
his ability and faithfulness are evidenced in the
high character of those who have heretofore
patronized and recommended his School, their
continued satisfaction with the mental and mo
ral training of their sons, and the ardent at
tachment manifested towards their instructor,
by the pupils themselves. We believe that
Mr. Fav, with his substantial professional qua
lifications, his elevated moral and religious
| principles, and the refined attractions of his
domestic circle, will enter his new field of la
bor with pre-eminent advantages and with flat
i tering prospects of success; and we should be
doing injustice to our own interest in the cause
of sound education, as well as to our convic
j tions of Mr. Fay's peculiar merits, did wc not
'| advise those parents, both in the city and coun
-1 try, who have sons to send from home, to com
' mit them to the charge o( Mr. Fay and his
' j amiable family.
• THEOLOGICAL WORKS. We refer to Parsons
; &L Preston's advertisement of Theological Books
■ in another column. Their stock comprises the
I best assortment in the city.
DEATH OF SENATOR BATES. Hon. Isaac C.
Bates, U. S. Senator from Massachusetts, who
had been lying dangerously ill at his lodgings
j in Washington for two weeks past, died on
Sunday evening. Mr. Bates was possessed of
i fine talents, an amiable disposition, and was
* held in high esteem by his colleagues of both
, parties, in the Senate. He had acquired an
j unbounded popularity in his own State, by the
i distinguished ability with which he served her
in various important stations, and we doubt not
the news of his decease, although not unexpec
, ted, will be received by her citizens with the
I deepest regret. Mr. Webster, his colleague,
announced the melancholy intelligence to the
Senate yesterday, after which that body ad
journed. His funeral will take place to-day.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE U. S. SENATE YES
TERDAY. We leam from the Madisonian of
last evening, that on the meeting of the U. S.
Senate, yesterday, after Mr. Cameron, Senator
elect from Pennsylvania, was qualified, Mr.
Webster rose and announced "that his late col
league, the Hon. Isaac Chapman Bates, a Se
nator from the State of Massachusetts, depart"
cd this life at his lodgings, in this city, at twen
ty minutes past six o'clock yesterday evening;
and having reached the end of his earthly pil
grimage, he had gono to another and a better
world."
The character of the deceased was portrayed
in a manner simple, unaffected, and eloquent;
and Mr. Webster, during the delivery of the
remarks applicable to his late friend, had fre
quent occasion to pause and weep. Although
profound silence prevailed in the Senate Cham
ber, many of his words were denied audible
utterance by his emotions of sorrow.
Mr. Huger availed himself of the occasion to
express his deep regret at the melancholy event
and to bear testimony to the uprightness, honor,
intelligence, and urbanity of his departed
friend.
Mr. Evans, to evince a proper mark of re
spect on the part of the Senate to the memory
of the deceased, and express the loss which the
Senate, in common with the country, had sus
tained, submitted a series of resolutions; that
the Senators attend the funeral to-day(Tuesday)
at 12 o'clock; and wear crape 011 the left arm for
one month. Messrs. Evans, Manguin, Wood
bury, Barrow, Sevier, and Cass, were appoint
ed a committee to make arrangements for the
funeral. The Senate then adjourned.
BENEFIT OF THE WORKING WOMEN. The
New York Sun of Saturday says: "There was
a thin audience at Palmo's last evening. The
benefit netted about sls. The 'Upper Ten
Thousand' kept away. Borghese's benefit net
ted $llOO and a benefit for our own poor op
pressed work-women slsl Comment is unne

THE COMMUNICANT 1 * COMPANION— By the
Rev. .Matthew Henry, with an Introductory
Essay, by the Rev. John Brown, Edinburgh
This work appears to be well calculated to pro
duce that calm, contemplative, and grateful
condition of the mind and affections, so neces
sary to the communicant who would receive
the Lord's Supper in an acceptable manner!
and it should therefore bo read by those who
are seriously disposed, and seek to connect
themselves in a more solemn manner with the
Christian community. The volume may be

IT Is"—by William Ilogan, Ksq., formerly Ro

not having read it we cannot speak as to its
merits.
CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Public Schools. The exhibition of the mode
| of teaching in the l'ublic Schools, was resum
|ed yesterday morning The exercises at Pub
j lie School No. 5, on the corner of Monument
; and Forrest streets, were of a highly interesting
j character. The Male Department, under
charge of Mr. Thos. 11. Robinson, as Principal,
and benjamin Charles, Assistant, numbers 21-'
i scholars. In the Female department, of which
j Miss E. Jours is Principal, and Miss L. Simp-
I son and Miss Frariciscus, Assistants, there are
j also 21 2 scholars. The exercises in the various
j branches of English education, were alike cred
itable to the scholars and teachers, and receiv
ed the most flattering commendations of the
School Commissioners in attendance.
School No. 6. There are in the male de
partment of tins school, situated on Etoss St.,
near Biddle, 220 scholars. Mr. E. Y. Ilecso,
principal, and Mr. YVm. R. Creery, assistant.
The classes under the Principal were ready in
their exercises, and correct in their answers.
The explanations in algebra and demonstrations
in geometry, were evidently the result of an
acquaintance with those studies. The classes
under the more immediate care of the assistant
gave evidence that their proficiency could not
have been attained but by great industry on the
part of teacher and pupils, and reflected much
credit upon both. An amusing dialogue was
conducted between two young masters. Mr.
Wilder exercised the scholars in music. Mr.
Keyser addressed them.
The female department numbers 130 scho
; lars; and has undergone an entire change of
teachers since the last annual examination.
i Miss Eliza Adams is principal, and Miss Anne
I Eliza Cockey, assistant. These ladies have but
recently assumed the arduous arid responsible
duties of teachers; but if we may judge of the
condition of the school, the proficiency of the
scholars, as well as their tact as disciplinarians,
; the female department of No. 6 is in excellent
i hands. The usual exercises were gone through
with in a most creditable style; and in reading,
several of the young misses, in the first class,
did remarkably well. Messrs. Toner. Keyser,
Irelan, and McJilton, of the school comuiis
; sioners, were present and participated in the
j ceremonies.
City Court. There was nothing of interest
1 done in this Court yesterday. Much impedi
ment to business results from the non-attend
ance of witnesses, and we are requested to say
| to those in'erestcd in the cases of Shade and
Harkeley, Back, Price, Moffitt, Wilson, Walsh,
and Southmyde, that if they fail to answer
1 when again called, they may expect to be at
| tached, and put in for costs, &c. The Court
j meets this morning, at 10 o'clock.
Reprehensible Conduct. On Sunday after
noon, four persons hired a one horse carriage
i from Mr. Ileury Baker, in Old Town, and pro-
I ceeded out to Govanstovvn. On their return
| in the evening, they became so spirited, that a
rapid and furious drive through various streets
of the city, irrespective of life and limb, was
I the consequence, until the police interfered and
seized the horse by the reins, when the whole
party jumped out, and at an equally rapid rate
on foot, escaped the clutches of the officers,
As warrants, however, have been issued for
their arrest, they may yet learn that although
a "borrowed horre never tires," the city is no
place to try his speed, and particularly on the
Sabbath day.
The Weather—Snow. Yesterday was St.
Patrick's Day, and the weather, as is not un
usual on the anniversary of the birth of Ire
land's patron Saint, exhibited its freaks in a
variety ot shapes. First, about " o'clock,
snow commenced falling rapidly, and so con
tinued for an hour or more, covering the ground
to the depth of an inch. Then a little sun
shine succeeded, followed by a slight rain, and
finally the clouds were dispersed and the sun
came out with warmth and brilliancy, melting
away the snow and drying up the sloppy streets
by noon. In the afternoon, however, the at
mosphere was cool, and the wind raw and un
pleasant, notwithstanding the sun continued to
emit his warm rays as a protection to the "ear
ly buds and flowers."
Detention. The cars from Cumberland were
detained until about 10 o'clock, on Sunday
night, in consequence of breaking the front
axle of the tender, about 8 1-2 miles this side
of Harper's Ferry. No other damage done,
and nobody hurt. The cars from Philadel
phia were detained yesterday afternoon until
after 4 o'clock, on account of the water in the
locomotive becoming exhausted.
Dangerous experiment. A young nun, while
playfully pushing the cars about at the outer
depot of the Washington route, on Sunday,
caused an engine to start with such velocity as
to run it otf the track and down a hill; he nar
rowly escaped injury in an effort to step it. A
heavy penalty attaches to injuries of this kind,
hut as it was not designed in this case no legal
process will be taken.
.Assault. William C. Merritt was arrested
yesterday, by officer Gross, charged with an
assault of an aggravated nature upon Henry
Clay Niles. He was, in default of security,
committed to jail by Allen Elder, Esc., to ap
pear at the Saturday Court.
Robbery. The tailoring establishment of Mr.
S. Taylor, South street, was entered diringthc
night of Sunday, and robbed of a laige quan
tity of valuable goods, &c. We trust the per
petrators may bo detected.
Pitching Cents. A colored boy, by he name
of John Chapel, and a white youtl, by the
name" of Christian were aricsted on
Sunday by officers Taylor and Stotkett, for
pitching cents, in a lot adjoining Green Mount
Cemetery. Chapel was committed to jail, and
Lightner released.
I Vho Lost it? We examined ycs.erday a
large brass coal scuttle, at the office o'" Justice
Wright, which was taken from a porscn suppo
sed to have no legal right to it.
.'ln Inquest. An inquest was held by £
Wright, Esq. on Sunday night, over '.he body
of a new born white female infant, found lying
in an Alley in Perry street, between Hanover
and Sharp sts. The jury were of opiiion that
it had come to its death by a naturtl cause,
and had been wantonly exposed by iti parent.
