fShogeeIat aud QtSgNQcx4Hs 4Wy OutfuSS The Philadelphia Gazette of last night says, base attempt against the person of the Hon. J. G. Watmough, we are informed was made On Saturday evening last, by sOme wretched Tories i0 the upper end of the county. MT. WatmOugh was in attendance at a public meeting of his constituents, to which he had been taken by Daniel Filler, Esq. Of Kensing- ton, in bis wagon, and while he was speak ing, some miscreants took out the liOch-pins from each axle-tree of the wagon, knowing that he intended tO return by the same con Veyance. The consequence was, that soon after the wagon left the place of meeting, it was upset, and but for a wonderful interpOsI- ton of Providence both the gentlemen inside would have been killed. This is most out rAgeOus and diabOIicaI proceeding. and it is earnestly hoped that all good citizens-all who are not in the pay of the British King will lead their aid in ferrtting out, and bring ing to the punishment of the laws, the bloody minded opponents of liberty.

 AnecdOte.-On the return of the Delegates from the late Convention at Trenton in our sister State, number of gentlemen met at a public house in Princeton in the evening" AmOng the assemblage was young man, vain and consequential, strutting up and down the room, gingling some coin in his hands, which he called Jackson nancy. "See! here is the stuff Jackson will give us." An elderly gentleman present eyed him for some time i; at last he could bear the affront nU hunger, and rising on his feet said with emphasis. |" Young man, 1 remember the revolutionary war, and you put me in mind of the Tories, for they did exactly as you do. They jingled their gold. and said here's the Kings money; and ! trust the ballot hoxes will give as good an account of the Tories of this day as our powder and shot did of their ancestors !' The youDgster was glad to escape the well merited rebuke of the veteran, and was soon among the missing. W. Y Jour. Com. | 4 nesc Disease.-An epidemic is prevailing throughout the country at the present time, which appears to create, and with reason, rot little alarm among the cthorOugh going mem bers of the Jackson party. It is species of complaint known by the name of ''Jackson Phobia," or" Horrors Q fJacksonisna." Its in cipient symptoms are withdrawal from town meetings, and Jackson caususes, refusal t" act on committees, and great reluctance to laud the hero. In short time the patient is heard to cxtoi the patriotism and frmness of the Senate, and launches anathemas against Kendall and Blair. As the disease increases, he exhibits downcast look, gives a shrug or start when the words "Glory," Reform" or "Retrencl,ment" are mentioned; he makes wry faces at the sight Ofa Jackson newspaper, or a Jackson man; he is fonc of being alone, and so!iioquisiDg. If listened to, he will be heard to muitcr such sentences as the follow ing" have been grossly deceived"-'' he will ruin the country''-'' obstinate as a mnle"-

 'ntrigues of the kitchen cabinet'-" corrup- ton of office holders''-" dangerous and des- potic doctrines of the Protest''-"! the cOnsti- tuition in danger'-always stuck by him''- .' must leave him noW'-'' scurn to be Tory" Sc.

 Various causes are alledged for the preva- lence of the disease at the present time. But it has been observed that some fine looking, hale and hearty Jackson men have been vio- lently attacked with it.-Ib.

 ZNe t,co great Antagonist principiss of Soci, ty.-Mankind on both sides Of the Atlantic seem to be divided into the two great dvi- sions of Whig and Tory. All political dssen- tions and doctrines seem to have resolved themselves int" these two great fundamental distinctions. The Tories, OF advocates of power, of legitimacy, of the divine right of kings. of aristocratic and inonarchial institu- lions, military despotsm and religious and he- rarchical authority against the noble cause of the human race, and of human liberty-the cause of Whig principles and of republican e. quality and of democracy. On one side we have the Carlists, and the Inquistion, and the Russian Autocrat, and the Austrian despot, and Louis Philippe of Barrcades, and Met ternich. and Pozzo di BoIgo, and Wellington. l and Talleyrand, and Andrew Jackson, and l Martin Van Burem on the other. the suffer ing. struggling People. the great mass of the population in all countries cOntending against those tyrants who would trampe them in the dust. rob them of their property, and harness l them iD chains like beasts of burden, to serve l these would-be masters of the human family who think the world was made for them.

 Ne,c- York Star. Lane Semindry.-Dr. Beecher visited this city last week in behalf of the Lane TheOlO gical Seminary. Thursday evening he preach ed on the condition of the West, most pow erful sermon, replete with acute remark and information. He mentioned in the course Ol his remarks, that the funds necessary to the erection of a College Building and the endow- ment of a ProfrssOrship of Sacred Rhetoric has been secured.
