FARMER AND ADVERTISER. TIIBSDil, JUNE tt, 181#. •'? ' -—\ jjijwu . ,% ■ ■■■■—uMaUfr -As our citizens Will not oflftus day, wei will hlii* ** dnineri F ourth ot J uly . ■A. , get up a public celebratton briefly notice places where public “ doings *’ are to take place. At Hempstead, an oration, and the usyal accompaniment!; The Order of Bechabites, a id Sons ofTernpera-'-.e, will have a dinner, good speaking, etc., at Farming’dale, on the ground where the Methodists usually hold their Camp Meetings. A Beach Party will also proceed from the village of Hempstead to the South Bay, af fording a fine sailing excursion, together with a view of the Beach and the Ocean. Now we urge all, who can leave their business on that day, to find amusenient of some kind, in their own way, and to their own taste. We are in'favor of the largest liberty in all matters consistent with the good order pf society. While ,we ought to fa thankful for the rational iiberty wo enjoy, we should beat in mind, that the1 pried of liberty ia eternal vigilance. Liberty, civil and religious, must cease to exist when political demagogues, and bigotted sectarians bear rule, Pic Nic Tarty.—-On Wednesday, the Congre gation, or a part thereof of the Church of the Sa viour (Unitarian) in Brooklyn, ostensibly for the advantage of their Sabbath School, but really joined by about four hundred, young and old, made an excursion to our village. Samuel Judd, Esq., with his accustomed kindness and liberality, threw open his grounds for their nsc. In a de lightful grove upon the hill, in the rear of Mr. Judd’s splendid country seat, a table was spread. Rev. Mr. Farley implored a blessing on the occa sion, and made some remarks. Rev. Dr. Bellows, one of the modt eloquent men in the country made & few observations. After the dinner, the music made all hearts gay. Young and old appeared to enjoy the scene. We were invited to spend a short time with them, and must say that we heartily approved the amusements and proceedings on the occasion. When the music struck up, several young ladies and gentlemen joined ia a spirited dance, on the green turf! And what must have rendered it highly offensive, to the strait laced puritans of the present day, ministers, yes, ministers!! and church members, stood by and encouraged “ the vain and unchristian amuse ment,” so called by certain learned divines. We looked around, examined the heavens, but saw no lightnings—heard no thunder on account of this delightful dance. But then we remembered, that the thunder and lightning reserved for this harm less amusement, are treasured up in so called “ orthodox pulpits,” ready to he used at a mo ment’s warniug. _ Intimations have been thrown out by cer tain knowing ones, that the author of an article, signed “ Jamaica,” published in the Inquirer, and copied by us id to-day’s paper, is a member bf the Methodist church, in this village. We can- ' fat believe it. Surely the precepts of the Gospel forbid brother to war with brother, or even to misrepresent their motives , of action. Until We hate the most positive proof to the' contrary, we shitll n6Ver admit that the writer does, or ever did belong tb any denomination of christiaus, in the toyvn of Jamaica. Whiat! a church member, Sneaking about taverns on Sunday, counting noses, of those who pass in and out, merely for the pur pose of endeavoring to prove the members of the Butch Reformed Church a set Of drunb nds!!!— Impossible!!!

C o l. C h a rles-D o u o lass.— S everal residents of ’Out- village, who- attended the excursion to G r e e n - jport and flag Harbdr bn the 2 0 tb , have requested us t p notice in this public manner th e hospitality of Col. Douglass, on this occasion. Owing to w a n t o f accommodations for so large num b er of strangers, many persons found it difficult to ob tain refreshment, o f .an y kind. CqI. Douglass m a d e his appearance in the street, and invited all fa m e t'to visit h is house? w h e re th e most gener ous hospitality Was extended to . them. In the oafae o f , o ur villagers w e retqru liim thanks Should the Col ..ever visit Jamaica, w e think the ladies a n d gentlemen will remember him. f i ^ T f a Inquirer, publishes an article oVer the signature of “ Jam aica.” T h e writer intimates that he is a resident o f this village or town. We are slow to b elieve w e have among u s , a man lay ing claim to, any degree of respectability, w h o would% e guilty o f w riting such an article. T h e writer, if a resident o f our village is a cowardly .character, or he w o u ld h ave given the public his nam e and residence It is hardly necessary for us t o say that bis charges and insinuations are ut* terly false,atid if he or the editor of the Inquirer, considers such articles calcu'-ted to promote the cauhe o f temperance or good morals we for one think they a r e m istaken.

The License- vote was much increased by the persons connected with the Race Course, estab lished in this town by the partiality of the state We hope this is not slander. Jamaica, June 6th,tl846. C ontemplated E xcursion .—We understand another excursion on the L. I. Railroad, is in con templation by. the citizens of Jamaica. It has been proposed to make up a party for the purpose of visiting New London and Allen’s Point. It can be done. Due notice ofthe day wiil be given in this paper. The Ex-Deacon of the Inquirer, is requested to pay up that “ two shillings'” a month, owing to bis clergyman. His dismission from church. like tire cry of “ stop the paper ” to the printer, is not considered valid until all arrearages are paid* ^ ♦ *\ Pl1*. The contemplated excursion from Hemp stead to Greenport, that was advertised in the In quirer, totake place on Monday, proved a failure. A train of cars left Jamaica yesterday morning, and proceeded to Hempstead Branch to take in the pas sengers from Hempstead. After waiting some time, and no passengers appearing, the Conductor returned to Jamaica. It is reported that the ex cursion will come off to day. The President of the L. I. Rail Road says, “ that Jamaica may-be considered the “ Banner town” for excursions of pleasure on the Road, as the turn out on the 20th to Greenport and Sag Harbor? was the largest and most respectable looking assemblage of the kind that has passed over the road this sea son.” . A large proportion of those composing that company are either members of the Dutch Reform ed Church, or constant attendants to hear-the worthy' Dominie, who for nearly half a century has preached the Gospel in this place. It would be well for those who read the slanders of the edi tor of the Inquirer in reference to this respectable body of christiaus,-to bear this fact in mind. publish th e piece entire: ~ tie Hempttedi ftquirtr.

The principal street is of great Width, level, and has.a beautiful appearance, if We except flocks of do mestic geese, an intolerable nuisance, as they have full freedom to ramble where they pleaBe, provi ded they keep where no'visiter of taste, or lover of cleanliness desires to see them. An attempt was once made to drive the geese from the public street, but the ladies of East Hampton interposed their “ veto,” and resolved, “ that geese and ladies are entitled to tbe largest freedom.” This town was first settled in 1649. The church or meeting house, is a noble and ancient structure,'about 130 years old. Queen Anne fur nished it with a belb and dock, more than 100 years ago. This bell, which is of superior tonb, still calls the people together for public worship! The present pastor is the Rev. Samuel R. Ely. who commenced his ministerial labors in this place, in 1836. Mr. Ely is a native bf West Springfield Mass., aqd the writer of this article, was an inti mate associate of his boyhood. He is highly es teemed by the church 'over which he presides whose communicants- exceed 42‘0. We rCgret to say, that his health is so much impaired, that he is unable to perform his ministerial duties. His physicians recommend a change of climate , and an entile abandonment of professional duties. Tfa burial ground in this place, is of veiy anciefa date We yvere shown two pad cedar' posts, and a tail connecting them .of tfa same kind of wood, which has stood there 180 years, mid still in a fair state of preservation. A monument has just1 been erected 1° the 'memory bf Col, David Gardiner who was kjlled by tfa bursting of Capt. Stocktou’s gun, on board the Princeton.. It is of granite, ant weighs 10 tons.

Island, Mon- tauk Point. The distance to this point from East Hampton .Is 20 miles, ahd we were six hours in performing the passage. Uniting the peninsula \of Montaukwith the main Island is IVapeaye, a lpw sandy isthmus.. It is.fonr or five milea long, nearly .one in breadth. ,Mr. Gould,-who jhas charge of the light house on the Point,.entertained our party very comfortably.

Congress will, however, be then' in. session, and foe additional necessary provision of ways and means, may fa well deferred .till that-time. » As to tfa mode of raising the required addition- al revenue, it fakes no conjurer to foretell that it will not be accomplished by the modification oftfa Impost Duties proposed andrecommended If those modifications could fa carried through Congress, and would produce the precise .effects calculated upon by tfa Secretary of the Treasury, they could not be put into operation in time to meet tfa ex igency.
