It is true, that in the speech which ho makes
on the 21 si March, ”11, (on proposing the re
charter of the hank for twelve years, as mi
amendment to Mr. Webster's bill for the re
ncwal of the charter for six years only.) Mr.
Calhoun does notice respectfully the doubts
entertained by the Slate Rights parly upon
the constitutionality of the bank; but it will
be remembered that he addresses himself sue- |
cossivoly to the removal ol obstacles which
prevented (ho concurrence of all other pailits
opposed to the rochartcr of the hunk, and
-leaving his own views ns In its constitution
ality unexplained, the inference in inevitable
that he still occupied the ground which he had
done when, in JB|(i, he declared its d sen.;-
sion “an useless consumption of time.”
I am one of lliobo who believe that it is as
much the dn'y of a statesman to change Ins
opinions and conduct for adeipnidc cause, as !
to remain steadfast when it is inadequate. An

it is his own proper work, and in ”18 that he

that if ho has liny cause to exult in the dec'll

Upon this point, 1 avail myself with pleasure
of the testimony of Mr. Calhoun, that vengeance

“would not intermeddle dm the side of power.”
Hut in noticing this refusal, which is the first
and only practical divorce of lire (iovernmeul
“from Hanks and Hanking operations,” one is n.x ■■
luridly led to inquire how many .Secretaries of
the Treasury, servile, and super-serviceable as

Philosophy of Advertising.
It may he worth while to communicate to
young tradesmen the ideas of an old one on this
subject ; they are from Chamber’s Edinburgh
.loumol, and are simply and briefly as fallows:
“The first utility of frequent and regular ad
vertising consists in this ; there is at all times a
large class of persons, both in country and town,
who have no fixed places for the purchase of cer
tain necessary articles, and are ready to ho sway
ed and drawn towards any particular place which
is earnestly brought under their notice. Indiffer
ent I>> ail, they yield without hesitation to the
first who asks. Then, in the country, a conside
rable number of persons, who wish a supply of
the articles advertised, ami do not know of any
particular place where it is to he got, being thus
furnished with the address of a person who can
supply them, naturally open a communication
with that address, whi li. perhaps, leads to much
ulterior business. People irt the country arc also
liable to lie favourably impressed by the frequent
sight of a name in the newspapers. The adver
tising parly acquires distinction in their eyes, and
thus they are led, m making a choice, to prefer
him. Lut by far the most iinpuilaiil effect of ad.
verlising is one of an indirect nature; it conveys
the impression that the party —•pretending or not
protending, quaekish or not quackish—is anxious
lor business. One who is anxious for business,
is unavoidably supposed to ho an industrious, at
tentive, civil prison, who keeps the best of arti
cles at the cheapest rate, does every thing in the
neatest and most traJcsinanlike manner, and in
general uses every expedient to gratify and attach
customers. People, of course, like to purchase
under those circumstances, and the system of ad
vertising assuring them that such circumstances
exist at tins particular shop, they select it accord
ingly. Such are the opinions of the old trades
man alluded to, and they are, certainly, supported
by fact; lor wherever an extensive or regular sys
tem ol advertising is practised, and no buck*draws
ing or uncon.|Uerahle circumstances exist, it is
usually seen to he attended with a considerable
share ol success. One feature in the philosophy
of the subject must be carefully attended to. A
faint and uiifrcquoiit system of advertising does
not succeed even ir. proportion, “Drink deop,
or taste not the Pierian spiing.”

The Mobile Chronicle contains the following
lino compliment to this gallant officer:

flutter Salt.
We recommend the following remarks from
. the Maine Farmer, to the attention of our read
l ...
its; diey contain information which may he use
ful to many of them.
It is not unfrec)ucnlly that we hear complaints,
which we have no doubt arc well founded, that
much of the lullin'for sale in our markets, is
strong, rancid, and unfit for use.
From our own experience, wc arc injured to
liclicvc that the greatest (.art of the fault is in the
salt which is used in it. Wc were never aide to
preserve hul ter in its purity, for any length of
lime, sailed with the Liverpool salt, while the
butler made in the same way and salted with
ground rock salt, has been kept a year, retaining
the same sweet and pleasant flavor It possessed
when first taken from the churn. That the tine
Liverpool salt is not lit to be used to preserve
meit or butler, is a fact not so generally known
us it should he. Ls convenience for use, and
while texture, induces, people to buy it. Hut if,
instead of this, they would purchase the ground
rock salt, notwithstanding they would have to
pay a higher price, they would be gainers in the
end.
I ho butter of New York market has also been
rendered worse if not absolutely spoiled, by tho
same kind of salt. Beguiled by its line and showy
exterior, the citizens have used it extensively in
the counties famous fur grazing and darics. In
many cases it lias supplanted the old fashioned
coarse or sun-made salt. Wherever the substitu
tion has been made, it lias been with a pernicious
effect. The butter so salted, does not keep as
well, loses its agreeable flavor, and acquires rath
er a disagreeable scent. The difference between
butler put up with this salt, [and natural crys
talized salt is so great, that our wholesale and
retail groffcrs can distinguish it at once, by the
smell, on piercing or opening' a firkin. The
sweet flavor and nice ordr, which pure sea salt
gives, is altogether wanting in that which is sea
soned with l lie other.
And Iho Liverpool salt is llio remote agent of
so much loss, damage, and misery to the United
States, it is high lime to cease both to buy and
consume it. In its stead, salt from the Hay of
Biscay, Portugal, Isle of Man, ortho Bahamas,
may he employed with pofcct safety.
The fault of Liverpool salt, and of all other
salt obtained from the sea water, by force of lire,
or by boiling, is its admixture, with foreign in
gredients known by the technical names of slock
and bittern. These usually adhere to the salt in
considerable quantities. They have no antisep
tic virtues, but possess a directly contrary died.
Sea salt, formed by natural evaporation and
eryslalization, has very little mixture with those
foreign ingredients.
Electro Magnetism—Ur. Sherwood.
In relation to this subject and Ur. Sherwood,
the New York whig makes the following rc
marks:
The more wc see and hoar of Electro Magnet
lism, the more arc wo convinced that it is hut just
beginning to he properly understood. The recent
astonishing discoveries of Ur. Sherwood, have
taken our scientific men by storm. They find
they have been demonstrating upon false princi
ples, and reasoning without knowledge. Wc al

on the Uoctor’s work; vve now wish to say a word
■ or two upon his medical pretensions. Wo have
known him personally ami intimately for nearly
fomtecn years, and in our inteicourse have never
found him wanting in honor, science, integrity
or manliness. He is une of the most benevolent
men wo have ever known. As a regular praeli
tioncr of medicine in Jellerson comity, JV. Y., be
was eminently successful; and for many years
was llie leading physician of the vicinity. For
more than twenty years has he devoted himself
to the study of Electro Magnetism, in the hope
of discovering remedies lor diseases over which
the regular practice had little or no control. lie
at length succeeded, and produced his “Electro-
Magnetic remedies for chronic diseases,” which
arc now sold at many of the drug shops in the
country. Wo arc personally acquainted with
many who have experienced llio beneficial effects
of this]most valuable discovery. Ho treats no
active disease, but confines himself to the class
, hypertrophy, or some forms of scrofula, such as
consumption, dyspepsia, lemonluca chlorosis,
&c. Uiscases which have hitherto baffled the
skill of the most experienced physicians,yield to
these electric remedies. The Doctor liases his
theory 11(1011 tho most perfect foundation, and his
practice has proved the correctness of iiis judg
ment.
Tho diseases he treats, arc occasioned by an
irregular taction of the electro galvanic forces
which are inherent in the animal system, causing
all its motions and functions. These forces he
denominates repulsion and attraction, and with
oul'lhcir mutual co-operation, there can he no
motion of animate or inanimate matter. Whilst
they are reciprocally balanced, the whole mecha
nism of the human frame moves with regularity
and maintains its health. Irregular action of
these forces produces disease in the organs, limbs,
and other structures, in all the fearful variety be
longing to the class already named. The doctor
proves that the human frame is a natural galvanic
battery; that (he 'skin, and mucus, and serous
membranes, are as the plates of zinc and copper
in that machine, while Ihe nerves act as the con
ducting wires, &c. Upon this theory the doctor
has contrived his remedies so as to restore the
electro galvanic lorccs of the diseased limb or
organ, to an equilibrium, and thus ell’ect a cure.
The remedies are pills and plaster. The pills arc
retained in a negative slate of electricity and act
through the circulation, while, tho plaster, being
positive, operates upon the diseased part through
the intercommunicating ncivcs.
The latter is placed where it has the most di
rect nervous communication with the diseased or
gan. That part of the skin to which it is applied
having previously excreted a serous or negative
fluid, will soon excrete a mucus or positive fluid,
by which means the excessive tangential forces
from the surface to tho organs, arc controlled and
their eqnilihrum ill the system restored. We foci
compelled to make these remarks, that the public
may become somewhat acquainted with these
sate, certain and scientific remedies. The wide
class of scroll)Ions diseases carry oil’ thousands of
the young and beautiful annually. These can
be saved to their friends and the public by Ur.
Sherwood’s discoveries.
Ur. Parvin is associated with Ur. Sherwood,
and we arc confident neither of them would ad.
vise the electric remedies for active diseases, or
where they were not confident of uflbtding relief
or effecting a cute.

On Tuesday evening oflast week, a catastro
(ilic occurred near Midway, about a mile from
Mill' dgoville, which terminated in tlie* death of
Mr. James (Jordon, a native of (Scotland, hut
i lately a resident of Sandcrsvillc, Washington
j county. Mr Gordon was on his return from a
visit to this place, upoh a fractious and unruly !
horse, when ho wits thiotVn to the ground with
i such violence as to fracture his skull. He was
j taken up and brought to the Stale Rights Hotel,
j in this city, where lie received every possible at
tention, until he expired. Though usually a
temperate man, hr was at the lime laboring un

Upon the requisition of the Governor, we arc
happy to slate, that Gen. Taylor has deluded a
sufficient lorcc for the protection of the low coun
try against the wandering hand of Indians hi the
Okefmokee swamp.
Troops in sufficient numbers are now placed
round the swamp, and provisions ample for their
support been furnished. Our citizens will thus
he relieved from an harrassing service, which de
volved on them, in the absence of the United
Stales’ forces—who, of course, will not leave
the scene until all cause of disquiet is dissipated.
liy the following correspondence it will he
scon, that the Governor has ordered the militia
force to he disbanded, and called upon the United
Stales Government for a prompt settlement of
their accounts for service, provisions, &c.

MADISON SPRINGS FOR SALE.
MThe stockholders in the above concern
having determined to dissolve the present
Company-will offer for sale, on the 13lli of
August next, upon the premises, to the highest bid
der, the entire stock, consisting ol a tract of Land,
upon which the Springs is located, containing two
thousand lour hundred acres, more or less;
four hundred acres of which is open, and in gooat
stale for cultivation. The houses upon the sans*

other out buildings are in good repair.
At the same time will be offered: the furniture
