Congreu.—Bur little else of ini|>ortance than the
trial of Judge Peck teems as yet to occupy the atten
tion of either House of Congress. The testimony in
this case is closed, the counsel have commenced their
arguments, and it is expected that the trial will he ter
minated in the course of a week or two. Opinions
are various as to the conclusion of the matter. Some
express the opinion that the Judge will be deprived
of Ids commission—w hile others as confidently predict
(bat he will come ofTtriumphant.
A pretty sharp contest took plnce in the House of
Representatives respecting the motion to arrest the
appropriation of $9000 lor our Minister to Russia, on
the 12th and 13th. An extract from the debate will
be found in our columns to-day.
Kentucky.—The Legislature of this State liuve bal
loted on three different days fofjjp Senator to Congress
in place of Mr. Rowan, whose lime expires on the 3d
of March next, without effecting an election. Outlie
first day there were five hailolings—on the second,
eight—and on the third, three, ns follows. Mr. Crit

At the close of the third day, the Senate passed a
resolution that they would proceed to legislative busi
ness'and postpone the election until the intervention
' of another election liv the people. Whether the other
house will accede to the proposition, appears to lie a
waiter oCdoubt. This election really presents a sin
gular stale ol things;—and if the 69 members who do
not vote for Mr. Crittenden are all thorough-going
Jacksonians—which we very much doubt—it seems
strange to us that they do not unite oponsnme one, and
terminate the contest. However, as Mr. Crittenden
is a member of the House, (tho Speaker) and has not
voted through the contest, in the event of the union of
the Jackson party, he might, by voting for some other
person, or for himself, produce a tie, and an election
would still not be effected. The elections there are
conducted rita voce, so tlint it is readily known how
every member vote*.
Mr. Monroe.—It will have been observed by our
readers that Ex-President Monroe, whe <s now resid
ing in Ncw-York, and suffering in his pecuniary cir
cumstances, recently petitioned Congress for an al
lowance which he claims was his due for services ren
dered before he was President; and that on an inves
tigation of tile accounts, the Committee to whom the
petition was referred reported a hill granting him an
allowance of upw ards ol 70,0C0 dollars. The bill had
given rise to some animated debate, on two or three
different days. On the 14th inst. the. motion of Mr.
Chilton of Ivy., made several days previous, to strike
•>iu the enacting clause, in other word* to destroy the
bill, was carried by a vote of 78 to 67. So tlint. what
ever may he the actual merits of the claim, or however
disposed to grout relief to a faithful public servant iiui|
revolutionary soldier, a majority of the present House
of Representatives have determined they will not give
to Mr. Monroe the amount which the committee con
sidered his due. We hope however the subject may
yet be revived in pome other form—and that this wur
t liv veteran of other day* tnay not, in addition to old
age, he subjected to struggle with penury.
(Lr in the Hartford papers of last week was pub
lished the following Notice, adopted by the Committee
appointed for the purpose at the meeting of the friends
of Mr. Cloy nl Hartford in September Inst:
Republican Stale Convention.
At a meeting of the Republican Central Correspond
ing Committee, appointed at a meeting ol Republi
cans Irom different parts of the State, held at Hart
ford, Sept. 17, 1830:
Resolved, That it is expedient, and therefore recom
mended, that a Convention of Republienns, friendly to
tlie American System, and the election of Henry
Clay to the next Presidency of tite United States, he
held at Hartford on Wednesday the 23d of February
next, for the pur|>ose of nominating State Officers, and
Members of Congress, nod also appointing Delegates
to Hltend the contemplated National Convention.
Resolved, That it is expedient, and therefore recom
mended, that County Conventions he held in the re

number of tuwns in said counties respectively.
Per order of the Committee.
Hartford, Jan. 14, 1831.
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Mr. Editor—The friends of Henry Clay and the
Americnn System residing in Hartford and its vicini
ty, having called a Convention to be holden in that
city oa the 23d of February next, to make nomination*
for the approaching election, it ia important that the
measure suggested in your last paper, of having a
meeting in this county, should be adopted at an early
period. It is well known 'hat a small, but active and
persevering corps of unprincipled politicians, collect
ed from all parlies, federal, democratic and toleration,
has been organised in Connecticut under the flag ol
Jacksonism, who arrogate to themselves all the vir
tue, intelligence, and republicanism of the Stale, and
jinder various pretence* are inking unwearied paint
go gain an ascendency in the next Legislature. It it
•believed that concert among the independent eleetori
Us proj-»r and necessary to counteract the machina
Vtions of this line'-ruble faction, and to ensure the tri
umph and perpetuation of the republican cause it
Connecticut. Hence o«ir friends in Hartford, aflei
.mature deliberation, and collecting the scuse of re
publicans in various parts of the State, have decidei
that a Convention is best calculated to effect the ob
ject in view. Under theae circumstances, it woulc
seem to be necessary that a meeting should be held ii
this county to appoint Delegates to attend at Hartford
end to second the efforts of our friend* abroad, i
suitable occasion will also bn presented to express on
aentimenu relative to the ruinous measures of th
present administration, and our entire devotion to th
great principles of the Ameriean System—and to th
aurceaa of the great champion of that system, H*h»
Cm*- The first week of the Superior Court wi
probably be the most convenient period for the met
ing=Hmd it is hoped that some of oar moat respectab
rrpablif wilt unite in calling it.

A>»- York Mirror and Ladies’ Literary Gazette.—
The lad number of this periodical ia emltrllished with
an elegant engraving representating a View of the
Bay and Haibour of New-York, and in the fore
ground ol which is embraced, besides, upwards of forty
figures promenading about that delightful place, the
Battery. This number of the Mirror is otherwise un
commonly rich. It is entirely original; and among
the contributors are F. G. Ilalleck, J. K. Paulding,
nn<t others, *• not unknown to lame." The Mirror,
for the richness of its productions, originnl and select
ed, its beautiful typography, the elegance of the en
gravings which occasionally adorn it, and its high mo
ral character, is wo conceive the most valuable publi
cation of the kind in the country. It would afford us
pleasure to send on to the publishers the names of a
lew subscribers.
The Snow Storm, which we briefly noticed in our
Inst, appears by accounts from abroad, to have been
quite ns severe in oilier plares us in this. In New
York,Philadelphia, Baltimore, and even further south,
if the accounts are to be credited, and there certainly
can he no reason to doubt litem, the storm was even
more severe. In Philadelphia, it commenced on Fri
day afternoon, and the streets were so filled, and the
snow thrown into such heaps, that many of the stores
on Saturday were obliged to remain closed, no egress
or ingress being had from the trout. The mails from
all directions either did not come in at all, or were de
layed from ten to twenty hours—and many of those
which departed were compelled, after being absent a
few hours, and proceeding but a mile or two, to return
to the city. Some of the oldest inhabitants of Phila
delphia express the opinion that there hns b^en no
snow storm of equal severity since the winter of I7C1
—70 years ago! The banks ol snow in some plares
in the vicinity are represented to be from 6 to 12 feet
in height. In the interior of the state the storm was
not so bad.
In New-York, the mails from nil directions were
detained both in arriving usd departing—in some ca
ses not reaching the city for n day or two—and for
many hours the south and west sides of the streets
were so blocked up that admission into the dwellings
in uuincrmis instances was difficult. In Providence,
Boston, Salem, Albany, Troy. Ac. Ac. similar scenes
are represented. The mail almost every where had
been delayed, and travelling for a few days almost en
tirely suspended. The editor ol the Boston Centinel,
who was returning to Boston during the storm from
Vermont, says—“For some twenty miles our horses
were pioneers. In many places the roads were block
ed up above the fences, and utterly impassable by hor
ses. In some places, the stage was taken over the
walls and passed along the fields, whence the snow
had drifted into the road. In others the horses were I
taken cut and the stage drawn Ivy llie passengers. In
Townsend, fifty odd miles from the city, on Monday,
we inct a body of people and about 20 yoke of oxen in
a line breaking open the road. Thence, we Ibund
tolerable travelling."
A like account is given of passengers in the stage
from Hudson to Albany. They literally worked tluir
passage by opening the road and helping the stage
and horses through the drifts of snow. They were
about twenty hours travelling that distance—usually
performed in five or six.
The storm commenced in Baltimore on Friday af
ternoon—in Philadelphia about night on Friday—in
New-York, after midnight—in New-Haveu, enrly on
Saturday morning—in Providence, 8 o’clock, Boston
!), Ac.—the wind all llie time strong from N. B.
It may not he amiss to slate, here, that the mail from
Litchfield to Hartford,and from Hartford heie, through
the perseverence of the enterprising proprietor, Mr.
J. Parks, and his diligent drivers, arrived at each
place on its usual days, and within an hour of the lime
it was due. And we learn that, amongst the mul
titude of stage and mail linos arriving at Hartford ev
ery dav, the one from hete was the only one that arri
ved at that place on the Monday after the storm.

Suicide.—We learn Irom the New-Haven Register
that Mr. H’m. Barth, a confectioner of that city, com
mitted suicide on Wednesday oflnst week, by hanging
himself in an outhouse attached to his bakery. He
was a native of France, but had resided in New-Ha
ven for sixteen years, where he married—he had ac
cumulated a comfortable property, and euslnined thi
I character of an industrious cititen. The Registet
■ thinks—no doubt with good cause—that “domestic
I troubles" were tire cause of his adopting “ this horri
i hie method of divorcing himself from the ills of life."
| Morris Livermore, of Spencer, a lad about 18 year
of age, was on the 8th i|st. convicted for striking t
schoolmaster while punishing him for misconduct,am
E afterwards using threatening language to him: be wa
** sentenced to pay a fine and coats, and to recognise fo

ON EDUCATION.—NO. 2.
Again—Ignorance sriU reader me tueiru.
We are placed in a world of mutual dependanct, in
wliii-li no person has n right to lira entirely to himself.
We are directed to do good to all men as we havo op
portunity—and in obedience to this direction, it be
comes our duly to qualify ourselves to render all the
service to our fellow creatures which is in our power.
He who hides his talent, is but one degrre less guilty
than lie who destroyu it; and certainly, m every Ite
i nevolcnt mind, it must be a cause of regret, that he
‘ has placed himself in n situation in which at best hu
cun he but little belter than a blank in creation. 'Tis
true that a person entirely deadline of learning may
do a day’s work for bis neighbor; may by his strength
! of body assist him if he is in difficulty, and may |x>tsess
a kind and benevolent disposition; but he can give
no information, bis company will be uninteresting, be
cause lie cannot converse upon any subject beyond the
ordinary transactions of the day, and when his labor
is finished, his room will be always preferable to his
company.
Again—An uncultivated mind can afford tulle satis
faction to its possessor.
So long as a person is wholly employed in the busy
concerns of life, the mind may be employed upon the
same subjects. But to every person there arc compa
rative seasons of retirement—seasons in which we are
constrained to withdraw front active bodily exertion,
nnd the mind consequently, in n measure disengaged,
needs something upon which to employ itself; and it
has so often rambled over the narrow limits of its con
tracted boundary, and fed so frequently on the same
stinted growth of the uncultured soil, that it grows
weary, faint, and disgusted, and looks, but looks in
vain, for some before untasted plant to renew its vigor.
Surely such n mind cannot be a source of much satis
faction to its possessor.
But this is viewing the subject merely a* it respects
that season of life when most engaged in active duties.
If we follow on till old age, we shall find our position
much strengthened. The'vigor ofyouth and manhood
will not always last. Front the bustle of active lite we
mpst ere long retire, because of decrepitude and age,
the sure successors of youth. At this seasou, being
left to himself, with a barren, uncultivated mind, with
no intellectual treasures stored up in his better days
on which to feed, ami shut out, as he necessarily must
be in a great measure from intercourse with the world,
how truly uiicumfortnhly must he be: he possesses
neither the ability or the wish to read—he is unable
to converse with interest upon any subject of import
ance—he is company for nobody, and is obliged to
drag out the |toor remains of life without a single con
solation which a well stored mind is capable of afford
ing; uud, nlas! too often dies ignorant of that Uod
before whom he must stand iu judgment.
This leads me again to remark—that an uncultivat
ed mind is closely connected w ith idolatry and infidel
ity. I am aware that many may feel disposed to doubt
the truth of this, and even to consider it as a cruel and
unjustifiable reflection upon many who may he snid to
possess uncultivated minds among us. Far be it Irom
me, my friends, to make any remark which is calcula
ted to impeach the worthy few, who were not permit
ted to enjoy the privileges so vnliiuble a# have fallen
to our share, nnd who, notwithstanding all llteir dis
advantages, have by unwearied effort acquired a rep
utation and character which the revolutions of time
cannot impair. And, indeed, I do not consider them
as falling within the scope of my remark. 1 do not
expect to substantiate it hy examples furnished in a
country favored, as this is, with every means of refor
mation, and where a person must shut his eyes, slop
his ears, and harden his heart, in order to pass through
life without acquiring considerable information. But
alas! to the eternal disgrace of those to whom it may
apply, even in this country, nnd within the circle of si
very limited acquaintance, case* are not wauling in
which we are furnished with lamentable and conclu
sive evidence of the truth 1 have advanced. My ob
ject is to substantiate the remark, not by recurring to
individuals, but to nations. Situated ns we aro, it is
difficult for us to ascertain the influence which edu
cation exerts upon the mind by nny recurrence to ca
see among ourselves. Suffer me therefore to refer
you to the situation of such as are placed entirely be
yond the influence of education.
Go with me in your thoughts to the heathen world,
and sec the effects of ignorance. See human beingi
i who have souls like ourselves flocking (not hy two 01
three, but) by thousands to pay their adorations ti:
blocks of carved wood, which through their ignornnet
they call God. Behold him seated upon a throne, am
hy hurnnn strength dragged through the streets umidi
the shouts of su innumerable multitude, who rend thi
air with their impious ascriptions of homage and prnisi
to a God which truly can neither see, nor hear, no
know. And, iny friends, strange as it may appear
this ignorant people really believe he is offended 01
pleased with their conduct; and they even carry then
superstitious notions so far as to believe that it actually
smiles in token of approbation.
But, deplorable as this is, the story is not one hall
told you. From a person of undoubted veracity, and
undoubted piety, we have the information, that foi
miles around the seat of this Idol, the earth is whiten,
ed by the hones of human beings who have sacrificed
themselves to this image of wood. While the carriage
on which he is placed is moving along, they volunta
rily lny themselves down before and under the wheels
and are crushed to death. Here many a mother has
devoted her darling child, literally “giving the fruit
of her body for the sins of her soul.” And here thou
sands of infants are left to pine away nnd die, because
iiieir parents, under the influence of the grossest idol
atry, have offered up themselvea victimstoGods which
they have made, to appease their supposed anger.
I might proceed in the exhibition of facts, going l«
confirm the truth of the remark we are considering
1 might tell you of instance* in which peraona liavi
placed themselves in the most uncomfortable position*
and retained them so long as to lose all power tc
change them: of others, who have suffered themselvei
to he suspended in the air by hooka fastened in lltsi
backs for hours together; nnd of others, who havt
burned themselves upon a funeral pile at the death o
their mother. In short, I might recount to you almos
every species of wickedness and cruelty, which thi
ingenuity of man, under the influence of the great da
celver, cao devise or perpetrate. Addison.

In this village, on the Bill inst. Mrs Lucretia M. the
wile of Mr. Ehenezer W. Holies, ngeil 29. In the
death of Mrs. B. the bereaved fiiniilyshave sustained
an irrepnrnhle loss. The church, of which she was a
valued and consistent inemhrr, and the numerous
circle of Iriend*, while they would how with humble
resign a t ion to the stroke of Divine Providence, cannot
but deeply feel and mourn the affliction. She was the
eldest child of Mr. Charles Lewis, of Fair-Haven, in
this state, and came to reside in this place soon lifter
her marriage, in 1822. She berame a hopeful subject
of renewing grace at 17 years of age, soon after which
she united with the First Congregational Church in
New-Haven. As a child, she was peculiarly dutiful
and affectionate ; as a w ife, and mother of an interest
ing family of tour children, three of whom survive her,
she was'lendei ly devoted, and manifested that noth
their present and Inline welfare was the great object
of her sincere desires—and as a member of the church
of Christ, she deeply felt her covenant obligations and
made it the business of her life to fulfil them. From
her domestic IihIiiIs, her own family and intimate
triends tell more particularly the influence of her
Christian exnmple, and enjoyed more fully the privi

Christian conduct, was highly appreciated Her last
sickness was of short continuance, autl of such a na

feelings to any great extent, hut sufficient to convince
her friends that the Christian hope she had cherished
was lo her departing spirit. “ like an anchor sure and
steadfast.’’ While her numerous Irienda mourn under
the affliction, they nre comforted with the cheering
belief that their irreparable loss is lo her nn eternal 1
gain. “ The memory of the just is blessed.”
