I* ■ . |*jiso, that tf.o bt.i jiist paSScd and the bill of I IW2S,1 W 2S, are equally violations of the spirit of the llhderai cunstituiion. In that respect there was Ino choice between the two bills ; but the bill ljus; passed being less odious and oppressivean I its provisions—abolishing mini mums, reducing; Iduti s generally, curtailing an overgrown Rc- I venue many millions—and, taken in the aggre gate, being in mv estimation an amelioration of I the Tariff of 1829, I voted for it on the prinffi iplo of ‘ the choosing of the least of two evils.’ i was presented with the alternative of vot ling lor what 1 regarded as a mitigation ot |a«r oppressive tariff, or, by voting against if, I acquiescing in, and virtually voting for, the [odious and oppressive bill of 1828. I de [terniined to vote fir what I considered as some [amc-llor *lion of the system, and leave my con [stitueuls to appreciate its uterus and judge of [its extent. I anticipated that attempts would | he made bv some, at least, of a certain party, for [political effect, to impress the Southern people 4 with a belief that the bill just passed was even a [worse bill fur the South than the Rill of 1-26. I Vet this could not deter me from voting fur the |bill recently passed, and thereby discharging a [consciencioiis duty to my constituents. It is for I them to judge of the course I have pursued. My i [consolation is the approbation of my own con [s i- uce, an i a firm bt li< f that all my constituents, [uninfluenced by prejudice, will give -me credit [tor at leas honest and patriotic intentions.

This disease was decreasing in New-York, but in creasing in Philadelphia and Norfolk. TiiE We publish thr letter of Col. Jones, lie has answef < d to the "rail made to him; and the people can now jidge for themselves, and decide, whether the princi- 1 pi, i he avows, could justify them to give him their votes., What wc have done, to draw the candidates out, was done for the people ; wc have discharged our duty; no; doubt the people will discharge theirs as conscientiously j as we have done ours. But Col. Jones did not content, himself with a dt duration of his political sentiments; he has thought proper to introduce that declaration with a few comments upon the course we thought it advisa ble to pursue in regard to the Congressional ticket in question. Those comments demand an answer. Col. Jones sets out with the remark, that our course , is to him “strange and surprising,” in withholding for the presi at the further publication of the ticket. There j is nothing “ strange and surprising” in such a course J As the editors of an independent press, wc are boundin' ■publish nothing hut what we think may he conducive to! the public good, and to the accomplishment of the ob- 1 n ets for which this press was established. There was! *n understanding between our subscribers and ourselves, chut wc were to exercise a discretionary power over our Columns; for it is impossible for any editor, however willing he might be, to consult every subscriber, and fob low his opinion, advice, feelings, or prejudices, in the matter to be introduced into the columns of the paper. Possessing this discretionary power, the editors of this paper exercise it to the West of their abilities, being all the time accountable to their subscribers for the conse quences of that power, if improperly exercised. If the * ditors are not qualified for the task,of course their patrons 1 cun withdraw from them the power with which they had . b< en clothed by them. If they misuse the power, their ! subscribers can interfere; if they do not meet their wishes, they can intrust others with the power they had conferred. Wc had not been requested to publish the ticket. Wc did it at first, because we were favorably disposed to the gentlemen placed upon it, and because we were, and still arc, warm advocates for regular nom , mafions. Wc placed that ticket, without having been ; requested to do so, at the head of our columns, because ■ the discretionary power conferred upon us by our sub- j senbers, authorized us to judge of the propriety of pla-1 eing that ticket where it stood before wc took it out. And the same power authorized us to discontinue the publication of that ticket, when wc thought it expecli-! entto do it. There is, therefore, nothing “st range and surprising” in the course we have pursued, in placing j the ticket at the head ol our columns, without having been j ■Requested to do s\ and in discontinuing it, also without; having bt on r, quested to do so. In the exercise of that I discretionary power, we stand responsible to our sub- | scribers, and to them alone we anneal -a? our rightful 1 S' judges. Co!. Jones is entirely mistaken, when he states that wc arrogated to ourselves the prerogative of dcnounc '*'.g the ticket selected hy the Republican party. We! aid wof denounce the ticket ; but wc can assure Col. Jones, that if we hud thought it proper and our duty to ! di nounce it, wc would have done so, without the fear ot j- ince accused ot arrogating to ourselves a power which i o - —o i we did not possess : for among the discretionary pow ers conferred upon us by our subscribers, is the one of J: nounc’ng whatever wc may honestly and conscienti think tin evil to the community, &r may prove in jurious and produce bad consequences to our friends and supporters. But wc did not denounce the ticket. Wc discontinued its publication, in order to apprise the can- | didates, that there were many ot tneir fellow-citizens.! who did not know their pohiicr.l sentiments, and who j were waverin« T in the suonort ot tne candidates named o * * en that ticket, because circumstances ot a political,-na ture, led them to entertain a suspicion ot the rem course those candidates intended to pursue in the “ present po etical crisis.” We were friendly disposed towards ell '•he candidates ; at the same time that we entertained ■ misgivings with regard to the real course they would pursue at lac present crisis, and we thought that it was due to the candidates to adopt the course wc did, in or der to apprise them of what was going on, and to give them a chance, before it was too late, ol informing th** people of the real course they intended to pursue. And 1 Col. Jones finds fault with us, for what we intended as a kindness to him, because w e cannot believe, that any of the candidates would be willing to deceive the peo ple, or keep them in the dark, in regard to the real course they intend to pursue in the present crisis. Col. Jopcs has come cut with his political cr r- 'd ; and now. that the poeplc know the rtai course he intends to pur sue, they will act as they think proper : if they elect him, they will know whom they have elected. Col. Jones ought to have known that the principles of the Editors of this paper forbid them to use a language which might be construed as dictatorial. The principles the Editors profess are, they believe, too democratic to assume towards their equals a dictatorial tone. But in conceding thus much, in our defence of the charge alleg ed against us by Col. Jones, wc will inform this gentle, men, that we have duties t.> discharge which it would be. at the present crisis, treason to neglect. Wc have been placed on the watch-tower, by the people, to inform them of any approaching danger, in the expectation that our; vigilance would not be relaxed. And shall we prove | prove traitors to the confidence placed in us ? There is 1 danger menacing the peace and safety of the country, ( and even the lives and fortunes of the people. We see, j with our ryes, that danger rapidly approaching; and the people no: yet aroused- Was it no: our duty, as their sentinels, to awaken them from their slumber, by i firing the gun of alarm and hoisting the signal ot distress? We did so; and will discontent be manifested at this mark of our strict attention—of oar intense watchful-1 I ness? No; and we have r< coived already Irom various quarters, letters approving the course we have pursued, j and < amcstly requesting a continuance of that course, j ; Col. Jones speaks of the republican party. 55 e have • some pretensions to the appellaiion of republicans. 55 <■ ( have some pretension to republican consistency. 55, have for more than twelve years devoted ourselves to; | that party, and we have during that time maintained andi ! I supported only i>s true principles. Have vve ever been, ! recreant to our professions, because disappointed in uuri j ambition, and in or.r desire f r office ' Never. 55 hat has | ■ been our course ? Independent and consistent, while tin- j ! tours- of those who now are clamourous for republican] principles and state rights, was insidious and hypocriti cnl, interested, and submissive to those in power; and joined the republican party, when it had the majority,) and in its gift the state offices. Such men wc have al ways pointed out as dangerous raid unfit to hold offices ;of trust and profit, under a republi. an government. So 'jfiir the artful insinuations and hypocritical machinations ;! of some of these men, have, unfortunately, won on the I!confidence of manydf our citizens, who believe in the i I political integrity of their neighbours, because they are themselves honest. And shall we be silent, when such | men have taken the field, and are endeavouring to intro jiduce into the state principles which must produce dis ! union and civil war, desolation and ruin ? Shall we re main silent, when corrupt members ot the republican par ty—men who arc ready to join tiny party, provided it is in the majority—are misleading the people, and dissem inating the most dangerous principles? Shall we not unmask men who, not many years ago, were seen fight ing iti the ranks of our enemies, but who joined the re publican party, in order to obtain offices oftrust arid pro. fit? 5Vc ask Col. Jones, whether at such a crisis, it i would not be criminal in us to remain passive spectators ? 1 Col. Jones believes that the course he intends to pursue, and which is based on the Carolina doctrine of Nullifi cation, is for the good of the atate. We believe that this ‘I course, if followed by a majority of the people ol the state would create dissentions and produce a civil war.; | 55 r c arc-nt issue ; and wo have the charity to believe, \ that we are honestly at issue. Who is to judge between us? The people. They will have vary shortly before] them all the circumstances attending both questions. I Let them judge, and fairly decide : we will abide by their decision. With regard to the principles of Col. Jones, they are; i before the people ; ii is for them to judge of their sound-! ness or of their dangerous tendency. 5Vc must ob-i servo, however, that it appears “ strange and surprls i ing," that Col. Jones should be so anxious to go to Con-j j press, when he declares that “ we have no reasonable ; hope of redress from them.” ‘And why should the pco | pie send delegates to Congress, when no measures cal ; ciliated to benefit the south, can be expected to be a dopfed 7 It is folly, we think, to participate in the tie liberations of a legislative body intent on our min, as it is represented by the nullification party. It is indee d “ strange,” that a man possessing so much discernment as Col. Jones, should appear so inconsistent in his po litical course. We should think, that instead of being a candidate for Congress, he should decline, and reeom ! mend to the people, to abstain from voting and sending members to Congress, until our wrongs were redressed, ! and full satisfaction was obtained for the losses wc have , sustained by the partial legislation of the federal legis. i lature. i The publication of the ticket should have been re i I sinned, if we had believed that # any of the voters of! Georgia were ignorant of its composition ; but we would! have placed it where such notices are usually inserted, j We shall therefore continue the publication of the tick- j | et, together with that of the Clark party ; and we place I both where they should be. The ticket which the re-1 publican party: the friends of the Union and Statej rights : intend to support, and which, consequently, we j will support, shall in due time, and as wc shall bo au-j thorized to publish the real course the candidates in tend to pursue, be placed immediately under the edito rial head; and in doing so, we exercise a right which is enjoyed by all citizens in common, to recommend to our! | friends whom we please, and to vote for whom we j please. FOltUiti-V INTEI-HUKAI:E. The latest news is contained in the following, taken i from the New-York Courier and Enquirer Extra of Au- 1 gust 4. SIX DAYS LATER FRGSI ENGLAND. The packet ship York, Cupt. Buraley, arrived yester-j day from Liverpool whence she sailed on the 26th June, j Our London dates received by this vessel are to the eve-! | rang of the 25th, and from Liverpool to the 26,5 of that, month. No event of any importance appears to have occurred; in England unless it be indeed, the assault committed on j the person of the King at Ascot Heath Races, which ap pears to have caused some sensation in that country. From the Times. LONDON, June 20, —Our readers will see, with the deepest pain and indignation, that a ruffian assault was' perpetrated upon his Majesty yesterday, while enjoying ii the sports of Ascot. It is some consolation, however, that; ! the author of this brutal and daring outrage is a low j i’-rolligatc goal-bird, a discharged Greenwich pensioner,) i who lias been repeatedly committed from the police offices j of the metropolis as a rogue and a vagabond, and that-it j; was an imaginary personal wrong which induced the I i reckless micresant to the commission of so heinous an i offence against the person of his Sovereign. He was, ot course, instantly seized by the by-stnndcrs, and is now! in custody to await the punishment his crime deserves.!) The conduct of the King was admirable, and the manner! m which he was received by the spectators who had ■ w itnessed the outrage, must have convinced His Majesty,; that his faithful subjects in every part of his dominions, will feel the indignity as one offered to themselves. The following account coming from an eye-witness of j the transaction, who was near to his Majesty’s person, may be depended on as authentic : “ ASCOT, June 19.—Just previously to the saddling for the Oatlands race, while the King was looking out; of the window of the stand. 2 stones were thrown front! the midA of the crow d below, one of which struck his 1 i Majesty rather severely, on the forehead. Fortunately,; j His Majesty's hat saved him from any injury. The , King forthwith presented himself again at the w indow, * I and was received with the loudest cheers. “ The offender was immediately seized fay the persons! near him, and brought into the jockey-club stand. He;’ had the appearance of a common beggar, and had a l ' wooden leg. He stated himself to be in connexion with |j no one ; that he was a discharged Greenwich pensioner,! and having sent a petition to his Majesty, to which no; attention had been paid, he had made up his mind to have ; a shy at the King, and hadput three stones into his pocket for the first opportunity. Ho has been committed for re-examination, Tuesday next. The name ot the miscreant is said to be Collins,’ and it is added that he has been recognized as having been committed from the police offices in London as a reputed rogue and vagabond. Mxlledgkviixk, Grh Aug. 18 32. Messrs. Gvir.v & Bvjsce, Editors of the Georgia Constitutionalist: Gentlemen —I have this day seen an Edito rial notice, (in your paper of the 3d inst.) in.j forming the public, that you will not again pub lish the Republican Ticket for Congress, until tj“ you have better assurances than you now pos , “ sc.ss, of the real course the candidates itvend jj“ to pursue, in the present crisis of the political affairs of the country.” I have never concealed my political opinions : jand at this time, when my name is before the peo ple as a candidate for Congress, would be more, desirous than otherwise, that they should be known. At the same time, you will indulge me with the remark, that your course is one alto-: getlier strange and surprising, and I can scarce ly believe you could have dulv reflected upon it, before you committed your article to the paper. It is admitted, that the Editor of a paper, and’ Cevery other person, lias the right to cull on any, ('candidate for Congress or the Legislature, tor) his opinion on important subjects ; but I never j can consent that any editor can rightfully arro-J gate to himself the prerogative of denouncing the . Ticket selected Inj the Republican party, and re-; (fusing i‘s publication, because the candidates; 1 1 may differ from him in opinion ; much less cun I consent to your claim of withholding their |1 nanu s from the public, until you can ascertain 1 ’ ij whether they do indeed entertain a differ nit ij opinion. \\ lien the liejniblican party consented to receive you as one of its organs, they never IJ * # % | ■'could have supposed they had invested you with j power of detenniniuig who should be candidates! to represent litem in Congress. Yet this you; i|have in effect assumed; lor the only reason-! ' able and legitimate inference which can be : , drawn from your article, is, that you will only : renew the publication of the ticket, if the can didates’’ coincide with your opinions.—You ought to recollect, tiiat the people are. free, and claim a right to judge for themselves who shall represent them, and will not submit to dictation, even from the popular Editor of a popular paper. You ought not to forgot, that this ticket is one selected by the Republican party : and while you have the right, in common with all of us, to object to some of the persons, yet it is your duty, as a public journalist, to publish the ticket for the in i'ormadon of the people, unless you intend to main tain, that the people must not vo‘e for them, nor even know who are candidates, if you do not ap prove them. | As lam perfectly willing my opinions should ;be known at the present momentous “crisis of jour political affairs,” brought about by the re ilusai of Congress to reduce the Tariff to n revc j ” t , i nue duty, I shall not be prevented front inform ing t!tc people, even by the objectionable style and' manner of your remarks. It is my opinion, that each State has the RIGHT TO JUDGE of the CONSTITUTIONALITY ofi every law of Congress—and that each State has the right to declare everv law unconstitutional O w which it believes to be so; and that the time and the occasion when this shall be done* is only a question of expcdioncy. It is my opinion, that the late Tariff acts arc ! unconstitutional, unequal in their operation, un : just and oppressive; and since the refusal of; i Congress to reduce the duties on imports to the! j revenue demand, we have no reasonable hope of redress from them. It is my opinion, that as all the rc-'cnue intend | ed to be applied to tiie payment of the public 1 debt will be collected under the act of 1828, and | every dollar of it may be paid off’before any re ■ venue can be raised under the act of 1832, the | time has arrived, and the occasion has presented itself, which imperiously demand of the State to take the redress into her own hands, and to exor cise the high prerogative right of resisting the operation of that act, within her own limits, by all the means within her control; and that a dif ferent course must necessarily destroy all the limitations of the Constitution, and result in tin conditional submission to a moneyed or manufac turing aristocracy. And it is my opinion, more effectually to uc complish this object, the people of the different counties ought to elect Delegates to represent them in the Convention to bo held at litis plane, and determine on the measures most proper to be adopted. I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully, 'SEABORN JONES. ■ You are requested to re-publish this in i your paper. S. J. a BA.VK -VOTES. j At a meeting of the citizens of Savannah, held at the Exchange, on Friday the 10th inst. for the purpose ot taking into consideration the present state of the mo ney market, James S. Bulloch, Esq. was called to the Chair, and William Remshart appointed Secretary, when the following preamble and resolutions were of fered and adopted; Whereas the large amount of issues of the Country Ranks of tiiis State, having become the circulating medium of this city, to the almost to tal exclusion of the notes of our own Banks, and thereby subjecting the trading part of this com munity to heavy losses, the discount at this time; being on Branch and Country Bank Notes 4 to 10 per cent. Be it therefore resolved, That from and after Monday next, the I3th inst. that we will not re ceive in our respective business transaction the notes of any Bank but such as will be received on deposit by the flanks of this city, or at such a discount as will be fixed upon by the brokers of this place, or until arrangements are made by the President and Directors of the respective up ! country banks, with the President and Directors of the banks of this city, to have their bills re deemed here. Resolved, That a committee of three be ap pointed to wait on the officers of the Banks of i this city, with a copy of the resolutions adopted: by this meeting, and request their co-operationl in carrying the same into effect, and that the' Chairman appoint the committee, when Levi S. j iD’Lyon, Aaron Champion, and S. Philbrick: were appointed that committee. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting] be published in the Gazettes of the city. J. S. BULLOCH Chairman. j \VM. REMSHART, Sec’ry. - ------ -■ From the New-York Courier and Enquirer, of Aug. l.j The Indian Expedition — Gen. Scott’s Cow-\ mand. —We are happy to announce the return } yesterday, of Col. Twiggs to this city in a state of convalescence. The account which he gives of the ravages of the Cholera among the troops, and the consequent dispersion of Gen. Scott’s command, is lamentable. Never perhaps did both officers and men embark in an enterprise, with the same enthusiasm, and never certainly,! did the same number of men traverse the sarro; extent of cflmtry in the unprecedented short pe-!j i.riod which they occupied in moving from Nor- ! | ■ | folk, Baltimore, and this city, to Detroit. They | ! arrived at Detroit full of itope and anxious to reach the scene of operations ; when the pesti lence made its appearance among them—hlight-j --i cd the fair prospect of active service in which 1 they had indulged—carried hundreds of them I j ’ to untimely graves,—and dispersed the entire ! command. Col. Twigg's detachment consisted of 209 re cruits and Payne’s, Whiting’s and Brooks’ com ;panics of artillery, making in all 350 rank and file. These men embarked at Detroit on board the steamboat Henry Clay for Chicago, but in consequence of the ravages of the Cholera, jjwere landed at Fort Gratiot, *hich is situated!; ,at the outlet of Lake Huron 60 miles from t)o- ; . Unfit. In less than ten days Dr. Everet’, Lieut. Clay and fourteen of the recruits died at thef ,1-ort. One hundred and fifty -five desered, of; : whom it is estimated that at least thirty have di-j: ed ; —leaving of the 208 but 39 at the time Col.i Twiggs left. Os the three companies of artil lery twenty-six died and twenty deserted. Thus were the 350 of which this command consisted on its arrival at Detroit, reduced to 135 in about twelve days ! I Col. Gumming of the 2d Infantry, with Ran som and Hoffman’s companies, 60 men from Fort Niagara, encamped at Spring Wells fair |'miles south of Detroit. Os this number twenty ' one have died and four deserted, reducing this | detachment to .55. |j Col. Crane’s detachment of artillery, consist.! i ing of 220 men, accompanied by Gen. Scott A ' his staff, embarked on board the steamboat ! Sheldon Thompson and arrived at Chicago with eightv cases of cholera on board, having lost several soldiers on the passage. At the last ae counts nearly all the officers and men had been | attacked more or less with the disease, & Lieuts. j I McDuffie and Gustav us Brown, (a graduate j from West Point in June las:, and not the son of ■the late Gen. Brown,) together with fifty-five | | privates, had fallen victims to the disease. Capt. Lvon’s detachment, consisting of hisij 1 and Capt. F razor’s companies of artillery, (nine |j tv men,) left Detroit on board the steamboat! William Penn, and hud arrived in safety at Ma-j chinac. Major Thompson’s detachment, consisting of! I j his and Capt. Cobb's companies of the 2d Infan-1 j try, eighty men, had marched across the country I from Detroit, and would probably'arrive at Chi-j cago in twelve days. By a letter which wo published on Monday, I daled Galena, July 11th, we learn that it was I Gon. Scott’s intention to march with his com; imam! across the country to Fort Armstrong, on 4 Rock Island; but it will be perceived by the fore i rroiim particulars, that oftiie 850 men with whom jhe left here, not to exceed 200 will be in a situ j alien to take the field; —about 300 having been I lost ln r death and desertions, and more than that |number unfitted by disease for active service for months to come. Thus has terminated this ex pedition, and Black-lluwk having in the mean time dispersed his Indians and probably crossed the Mississippi, there is but litde reason to be lieve that he will receive the punishment he merits. We have received a lesson, however, i which may prove serviceable, and our Repre sentatives in Congress may' become satisfied, that instead of an army of 6,000 men, our wants re ; quire one of at least 15,000. Our Western Frontier can only be protected from Indian in vasion by the presence of United .States’Troops, and as we have officers sufficient for 12,000 men, the expense of keeping up an army of 15,000, would be less than double tirt; amount of our preamt expenditures on the army, and a mere bagatelle compared with the importance of pro- i I tecting the inhabitants of the Western States. From the Neic-Yurh Mercantile Advertiser. We have read a pamphlet of 58 ['ages, being “Observations on the Fellow Fever,” by Dr. Plantou. It appears by this pamphlet that Dr. Planfou was the first to use charcoal in the cure of Yellow Fever. From the effect produced ex ternally by charcoal, Dr. P. concluded that it might be internally employed as an antiseptic, or . anti-gangrenous medicine—it has answered the object proposed, and we find charcoal, prepared according to Ur. Plantou’s directions, very sue cessfujly administered. In the pamphlet before us, we find the Yellow Fever, the Plague and the Cholera Morbus spoken of as diseases having much affinity, and that similar remedies are ap plied to all three diseases. The Doctor’s re marks on caloric and cold, and on electricity and magnetism are interesting. Tills pamphlet was written in 1822 and addressed to our Board of Health, in October of that year, while the Yellow Fever was raging here. Dr. Plantou has just published a circular re ferring to the publication above named, and re commends his remedy more specifically to the present epidemic. We have heard it spoken of by medical men in terms of commendation, and therefore make the following extract from the circular before us. “At the first attack pfthccholora, two ounces of pulverized charcoal ougiif to be administered, diluted with about four table spoonfuls of molas ses, and about a pint of lime-water, or simple wafer if the other be not at hand. The mixture ought to be well s irred up, so as to facilitate the deglutition of the charcoal—it may be divided into two draughts—soon after two ounces of castor oil ought to be given to the patient, say a , quarter of an hour or half an hour after the first j administration of the charcoal. Two'tnmccs of powdered charcoal prepared ; in the same way as before, to be administered ; ‘ a table spoonful every quarter of an hour, and , alternately administer a spoonful of sweet oil, i or melted lard, every half hour. It is not blind- 1 ly that the undersigned has made choice of the lime-water for the cure of the yellow-fever, but because that substance is known to be the most powerful anti-cmetic and anti-septic, that it de composes carbonic acid, that it is the test of re cognizing after death whether corrosive sublim ate has been swallowed, and it precipitates it. It is for those reasons that ho has ernployeded it in the yellow-fever, and that he recommends it as the best drink during the whole attack of the cholera morbus. It may be sweetened with lemon syrup or molasses; ice may be advan tageously employed to cool that drink. He will I add that frictions with camphorated sweet oil on r the neck, breast, and abdomen of the patient, as well as under the armpits, will no doubt! contribute to save the life of the patient. Small clysters of oil or melted lard with a strong decoc- t tion of linseod may also bo administered with : good effect. The only stimulants that with safe- I ty can be employed in the disease, are blisters or: \ rather rube facients, to the logs and thighs and | ‘ other external parts. He is of opinion that no emetics, no violent purgatives, nor stimulants of t any sorts should be employed in cholera ; as for bleeding, he will ask if any physician would re sort to it in cases of poisoning, or highly putrid diseases ? Has not Dr. Broussais of Paris, de clared in his lectures on the cholera, that the, blood in that disorder turned soon to thecoasis-j tonce of current jelly ?” It will be remembered by our readers, that a; stranger mysteriously moved through the streets; |of Montreal by the accounts in the papers, es ; fected miraculous cures, without reward, by ad ; ministering pulverized charcoal , melted lard, and sugar, mixed together. ! We think Dr. Plantou’s pamphlet, and his: ■recipe worthy of attention. ! Woman. —The restraint which the customs of: j the world have p it upon the conduct of females, | renders the best among them more or less hy-j| pocrites. How hard this is—that the ingenuous j confiding qualities of woman’s heart should be! thus tortured and spoiled ; and yet so it must be,\ while the present order of things lusts. It is true, they have looks for those who are skilled •in such lore ; and as the wise ones tel! us. have two eyes to say yes, and but one tongue to say jao. —Heckle Cousin Wrllizn.
