tains a beautiful engraving of the Setter Doo,

LECTURES ON PHRENOLOGY.
Dr. Barker's Introductory Lecture on Phro
f nology, on Monday evening, was attended by a
highly respectable, large, and fashionable audi
ence, which appeared geatly pleased with, and
deeply interested in it—far, we believe,beyond the
expectations of any. Apart from the great inter
est excited in the subject itself, the style of the
lecturer was highly polished, animated, interesting,
and eloquent, and excited, together with the stri
king force and beauty of his illustrations,the high
est respect for his abilities, and confidence in his
capacity to do justice to the science he proposes
to unfold.

“Tho establishment of Messrs. Barrett &

[ found in our large cities, must boos great con-
I venienco to the citizens. In Europe such offices
I are very numerous and very useful; and in Phil

K dispensable. They arc all well patronized, cs-
I pecially those conducted by honest and industrious
f individuals, who deserve confidence by the sin
it eerily and punctuality with which they discharge
their duties to their customers. Such an office
was much needed in this city; and it is to be ex

fUGH-HANDBD OPPREHSIOX-
We recommend attention to the following ar
ticle, which we copy from the Constitutionalist of
yesterday, and which, if it be true, as wo doubt
not it is from what wc have beard, should arouse
the honest indignation of every man who values
the entire freedom, purity, and integrity of tho
elective franchise, and is conscious of the deep
ortance of guarding it against all arbitrary
Wt
oppressive; and undue influence. No matter what
arc a man’s political opinions, whether for us or
against us, every one should feel interested in
sustaining him in the free exercise of them by suf
frage, and look upon every one who would prevent
it, whether friend or opponent, as a public enemy.
This is not a matter of party—not a matter hi;
which there should be any division of opinion— ■
or in which any one party or individual has
any real interest opposed to another. What is
tolerated in this way by friends, because in their
favor, will be retaliated by their opponents, and
tolerated by them. AH men, therefore, of all
parties, should unhesitatingly unite at once, in
protecting from arbitrary contiol, ths entire free
dom of a privilege in which all arc alike inter
ested. Let all use argument or persuasion as
they plerso, so long as full freedom of opinion and
suffrage are permitted ; but the prompt union of
all parties, against any coercion of suffrage
through the interest or otherwise of those coer
ced, should always be such, that no man, with the
least regard for public opinion, would dare at
tempt it. The elective franchise is a mockery, a
cheat, and a curse, if. it he loft subject to power,
authority, dictation, or duresse, of any kind ; and
if a man may exorcise, uncondemned and uncen
sured, his control over the interests of those in his
employ, to coerce their suffrages to his mere
will, where are such things to stop I—What mis
chiefs may not be expected from it I—-what ar
bitrary, unjust, and cruel oppression, on the one
hand, and base, selfish, cringing, slave-like sub
serviency, on the other, may not spring from such
a precedent I—what a prostration of individual
honesty and independence, and corruption and
perversion of public opinion and the elective fran
chise 1
From the Constitutionalist.
THE GAG LAW,
Mr. Editor. —l have learned from good and
responsible authority, that a merchant of this city,
stated yesterday, that if any young man in his
employment, voted for a certain candidate for
Alderman, he should he discharged from such
employment 1 The person who made this de
claration, has, I believe, young men in his em
ploy—and, what do the people of Augusta think
of it, coming, as it does, from a man who fre
quently resides, during a considerable portion ol
the year, north of the Potomac I Ido not give
the above as the very words of said merchant,
hut it is known by a large number of our citizens,
that I have stated the substance of his remarks.
And is it come to this, that a young man who
depends upon his own industry for his subsis
tence, cannot vote as he pleases, or entertain such
opinion as he may think proper, without having
such threats as the above held over him 1 Whal
right, I should like to know, has an employer to
interfere with the opinions of his clerk, or to
influence his vote by threats 1 Monstrous ! I
am really astonished that any man, living in a
free country, (as ours is called,) dare to use such
language! But, if I am not very much mista
ken, tho finger of public scorn will be pointed at
him.—Take care, young mCn, of the Gag Law !
A POOR YOUNG .MAN.
SOUTHERN LITERARY JOURNAL.
The friends of Southern Literature will begral -
fied to learn, that a monthly periodical under the a
bovc title, is about to be established in Charleston,
under very flattering auspices, such as we feel con
fident cannot fail to ensure it success. The pro
poser, D. K. Whitaker, Esq. is well known to
many of our citizen, as a gentleman of fine
mind, and rare literary attainments, fully quali.
Ccd for the arduous and important task he has
undertaken; and we sincerely hope that he will
meet with th# generous, prompt liberality, and
cheering encouragement, which can scarcely fail
to be extended by all who take a proper interest
in tho general character, influence, and prospo
r.ty of the South. In our advertising columns
may ho seen the Prospectus of the work; and the
high recommendation of the Literary and Philo
sophical Society of South Carolina, contained
therein,together with tho following warm commen
datory notices from each of the Charleston papers,
will show the estimation in which the proposi
tion is held by those best qualified to judge of it,
and cannot fail to establish it firmly and securely
in the confidence and regard of the Southern pub
lic. Wc will cheerfully receive and forward sub
scriptions to it; and we beg those disposed to
subscribe, to do so immediately, that its publica- ]
lion may be commenced as early as possible :
Southern Literature. —We invite attention '
to Mr. Whitaker's prospectus, which will be 1
found in our columns. In this city, where Mr. 1
Whitaker’s studious habits and literary taste :
and acquirements are known and appreciated, 1
nothing need be said as to his competency to con- i
duct a Journal of the character proposed ;—but to 1
our country readers we would recommend him as
admirably qualified for the task ; and assure them
thatin patronizing his work they will fulfil a duty
of patriotism, and contribute to the elevation of
the character of the State. The Prospectus sets 1
forth the advantages which will be afforded tho Ed- !
itorby the Literary and Philosophical Society;—
and we are assured that he will also he aided by raa- '
ny of the pens that shed so much brilliancy on tho '
pages of the Southern Review ;—than which! 1
work wo hope that a Monthly Magazine will be j f
more successful, because made up of more popu- j
lar, and in part lighter materials. Knowing that i
Mr. W. will prosecute his enterprize with ener- .
gy, we feel sanguine that his Magazine will not
swell the catalogue of similar undertakings in
Charleston, which have been doomed to an ephe
meral existence, if they did not perish in cm- ‘
bryo.” —Charleston Mercury.
Southern Literary Journal. —We invite the
attention of our readers to the Prospectus of this
new Monthy periodical, to be published in this ,
city, under the Editorial management of Daniel ,
K.’Wiiitakek, Esq. and under tho auspices of
tho Literary and Philosophical Society, of which i
body Mr. W. is on active and zealous member, j
Tho talent and literary habitudes, taste and in- 1
dustryofMr. W. give assurance that tho work |
he has undertaken, will, on his part, be prosecu
ted with zeal and ability, and we invoke for it, as i
a Southern literary enterprize the support of
Southern liberality. The commercial metro- 1
■ polis of the South ought not to be without a liters
f ry journal, and indeed we consider its destitution
in this respect as a serious reproach to a city so
' populous, enlightened, and refined. We perceive
1 that Mr. W. has engaged the asaistance of other
i literary gentlemen of our community, whose con
tributions, united with his own, will doubtlcee en-'
' rich the proposed journal with & fund of valuable
1 ' and entertaining matter; and tho promise it holds
of containing tho proceedings of the Literary ,
and Philosophical Society, and the various essays
read before that body, renders the prospect still
more inviting. It is with pleasure wo learn that
a number of subscriptions has been already en
gaged, and that tho “ Southern Literary Jour
nal’ is likely, in a vigorous infancy, to give the
assured promise of a successful and sustained
maturity.— Charleston Courier.
| jVevi Southern Magazine. —Our readers will
find in our paper this evening, a Prospectus for a
i New Monthly Periodical, to bo published in this
; city, by a gentleman of acknowledged literary
talents and attainments. It is a reproach to the
Southern States that they have no record or re
pository of Literature, large or small, if we ex
cept one in Richmond, that would serve, if wo [
can so speak, os a short of rallying point to talent,
in connection with our Libery and Philosophical
Society, and a means of preserving and diffusing
the spirit, in the South, of intellectual research
and liberal inquiry. There is many a fragment
es literature—many a suggestion in science,which
s allowed to perish for the want of such a vehi
iclc, when it may be laid Up for future use, or em
ployed for present emdellishmcnt. Our more
delicate and fragrant flowers of fancy, “waste
their sweetness on the desert air,” while our in
tellectual plants of sturdier growth find no strength
and tenacity in the soil into which they strike
their roots. — Southern Patriot.

Providential Escape. —Whilst the stage from
Savannah, was crossing the Ogeechee on Satur
day last, the Bridge gave way and the whole
precipitated into the river below, but the sills and
flooring of tho Bridge going down together, re
mained so, and thus supported the stage, and res
ting on the pilings of the old Bridge which were
cut off a few feet below the surface of the water,
the stage did not turn over, and the passengers,
men, women and children, were therefore with
out much difficulty, in a short time rescued from
their perilous; condition. We are told no dam
age whatever, was sustained by stage or passen
gers except what may arise from an unexpected
cold bath, —the letters and papers in the mail
bags were very wet, but none we believe lost.—

POSTSCRBPT.
A MONTH LATER PROM EUROPE.
• New York, April 6.
Wc arc at length enabled to announce important
intelligence from Europe,by various arrivals, viz:
tho Utica, from Havre, 2Sth February ; the Cal
edonia, and Roscoe, from Liverpool, the former
having sailed on the Is*, and the latter on the
12th of March. By those arrivals, the editors of
the Commercial Advertiser have received a largo
supply of European papers to the latest dales—the
11th of March, from London, being the latest. —
These papers announce the opening of the new
British Parliament —the election of Mr. Aber
crombie as speaker, by a majority of ten over Sir
Charles Manners Sutton —a second defeat of the
ministry on the address—a dissolution of tho
French Ministry—a change in the Portuguese
ministry—the death of the Emperor of Austria,dec.
We have endeavored to gather up the most striking
features of the intelligence before us—reserving
numerous as yet unopened papers lor future exa
mination.
Great Britain. —The new Parliament was
opened on tho 19th February. Great crowds
thronged the entrances of both Houses. Strong
bodies of the Police were in attendance to pre
serve the peace. Tho Tory Lords and the Bi
shops were received with tremendous yells. The
liberal Peers were loudly huzzaed. The hostility '
to the Duke of Cumberland was manifested in a
manner to require tho most active exertions to
prevent actual outrage.
The late Speaker, Sir Charles Manners Sutton,
has been called to the Peerage, under the title of
Viscount Canterbury.
FRANCE.—There has been another breaking
up of the French Ministry; but of the causes we
are unadvised. The Paris journals were occupied
with speculations as to the reconstruction of the
Cabinet, & one of them positively asserts, that M.
Dupin will be prime Minister. All that is known
on the subject is, that hath Soult and Sebartiana
have been sent for and have arrived in Paris.
When the Utica left France, it was generally
believed that the bill of indemnity would pass the
French Chambers—but the subsequent advices,
byway of England, announcing the dissolution of
the French Ministry, may retard tho settlement
of that question. At the sitting of the Deputies
on the 14th of February, a Royal Ordonnanco
was read, appointing M. Desmousoux, A assist- i
ant Commissioner for the discussion of the Bill '
relative to the Ameri an Treaty. This is the on- '
ly mention we find of the American question. I
Portugal. —Accounts from Lisbon reach to the
24 th of February. A partial change had taken i
place in the Ministry. The Duke of Palmella is
now Secretary foi Foreign - Affairs, Count Villa I
Real has been transferred from that office to the I
Marine, and M. Freire is appointed to the Home i
Department, in the room of the Bishop of (John- i
bra, who has been dismissed.
The Emperor of Austria died suddenly on the
3d of March. He was in his C7th year, and had
beeh Emperor, first of Germany and then of Aus
tria, sl ice 1804. He is succeeded by his son
Ferdinand, now 42 years of age. This event, it
is probable, will cause a great change in the fu- '
ture policy of the Empire, as the present Emperor
is said to entertain a strong dislike against Prince
Mctternich.
Liverpool Market, Feb. 21, t
Cotton. —We have had a steady demand j
throughout tho week, but chiefly for the better ,
classes of American which are } to id per lb.

BERTRAND, Jr. was sired by that famous
Horse Old Bet trund, who was got by old Sir
Archy, (whore pedigree I deem unnecessary to
■ give,) his dam Eliza, (full sister to the well
known horse Old Gallatin,) by imported Bedford, i
g. dam the imported mare Mambrino, Bertrand,
r Jr.’s dam, Transport, was gut by Virginius, her
1 dam the celebrated running mare Nanvy Air —
’ (for her pedigree see American Turf Register,
’ Vol. 11, page 309.) Virginius was got by the
' imported horse Diomcd; his dam Rhea, was got
! qy Chatham; his g. dam by Eclipse, his g. g.
dam by the imported home Shark; his g. g. g.
s dam by tho imported horse Silver Eye; his g. g.
1 g. g. dam by the imported horse Valiant. I deem
> it unnecessary to trace the pedigree of Bertrand,
Jr. further, as his stock is so well known through*
' outthe United Suites, Transport, his dam, was
1 never beaten a 4 mile race, Uor never put up in a
race of 4 miles, after a mile and, a half; and never
lost hut one race, and that a 3 mile, handy cap I
race—and then, not in condition. Bertrand, I
Ills sire, run 12 miles in 23 minutes and 22 se
conds; making the timo in 28 seconds less than
Henry and Eclipse did, on Long Island.
At Charleston, Fob 26,1831, when 3 years old,
he beat Johnston’s Andrew, by Sir diaries Bel
dam, and Minna Brenda, 2 mile heats, at 4 heats;
Pelham winning the Ist heal, and Bertrand, Jr.
was second in the treat, Andrew won the se
cond heat, and Bertrand Jr, the 3d and 4th
heats. Time—lst heat, 3m. 535.; 2d heal, 3m,
•195.; 3d heat, 3m. 505.; 4lh heat, 3m. 575. In
this race he 'realized all that hud been anlicipa- j
ted from bis blood.
Over t!ie Washington Course, February, 1832, I
when 4 years old, Thursday, three mile heats,
purse, r tjso, he beat Col. Win. Joimson’s c. f.
Annett, by Sir Charles and Col. Furgerson’s
Lafayette ; in this race Annett won tiie first heat
by a head, and Bertrand Jr, tho 2d; alter this
she was withdrawn, and lie walked ovoi lor the
third heat. Time—lst heat, 5m 455.; 2d heat,
3m. 58s. After tins, Col. J. B. Richardson chal
lenged Andrew, and Bonnets O'iilue, with
Bertrand Jr., and Little Venus, for $5,0U0 aside,
each horse, half forfeit—which Andrew paid to
Belli and Jr.
January 30, 1833, at Columbia, (S. C.) ho was .
beaten by Col. R. Singleton’s horse Godolphin, 11
3 mile heats, at three heats. Time Ist heat, Gin. ! i
Is; 2d heal, 6m, 10s ; 3d heat Om. 10s. Truck j
heavy.
At Charleston, [S. C.] February 20, 1533 (
purse SI,OO0 —4 mile hosts, be beat Win. Li, j
Huuii’s f. Rattle Snake, and Col. R. Singleton’- i
horse Godolphin, nt three heals—distancing
lattrr tho third heat. Time Ist heat, 7m. 50
2d heat, 8m; 3d heat 8m Bsj
When 6 years old ho beat over tho Washing
ton Course near Charleston,Feb.26, 1834, Win.
U. ilaun’s horse Plato, the latter being drawn af
ter the Ist heat. Time—ist heat, 7m 555; 2d
beat he walked over the Course.
At Columbia, [S. C.] Janua;y 19,1835, be was
beaten by Argylc, at 2 heals, 4 miles: Timo—
-Ist heat, 8m 4s; 2d heat, Bln 465. For the Ist
I heat ot tills race Bertrand dr, did not contend, and
j in th • 2d heat his rider, through mistake, stopped
him still uftu running 3 aides, which gave Argylc ,
such un advantage, ttiat he was not able to over- ,
take him again.
1 have nut u statement of tire races at Charles- | J
ton, in Feb. last, only from recollection, therefore
1 may err. Argylc again beat him 4 mile heats, at H
2 heats. Time, as recollected, Ist li-at, 8m ss;
2d heal, 6m Bs.
lie was also beal< n by Patsey Wallace, for the
handy cap race, 3 mile neats. Time not known '
to me. Thus you will see ttiat he Ims never been
beaten by any horse except Argylc, and Fat-ey
| Wallace, and Godolphin, and in the races with
! Argylc ire carried Iris 24 lbs., the most weight,
win h would malic a wide gap between horses of
equal speed and bottom in 4 miles, And to con
vince the public, that be lias no superior, I will
refer them to the time as given by the South
Carolina Jockey Club of Iris races. When 3
years old, he won the 3d heat of 2 miles, in 3.m
60s. When 4 years old, he lost ahcatofS mileS
with Annett, by a head, in 6mi 455. When s,
years old, he run 12 miles in 23nn 58s, only 8
seconds ov tho time of Eclipse and Henry ; his
second heal in this raco was a better heat than 'I
Argyle o < r has made at any time; ho has
also run fi mile beats in less time, mid 3 mile
heats in less time than Argyle ever did; ha
also stood champion of the Southern Turf
or four successive seasons. Let those who I f
succeed him, do tho same, and make tho time
which ho has done, and than they way be con- \ rr
sidored Iris equal; but be, like ail other horses, Itl
has had his day, and must give place to those of s
more suitable age than Uimrelf for the turf, an any
gentleman acquainted with racing knows that mi
aged horse rarely, or never wins, from 4 and 0 11
years old, any thing like their equal. The above 1
pedigree, pe fonnancej, &c. Ate. ia correct to tho j a
best of my knowledge and belief. |

* j TP Ift/ HILE numerous Literary Periodicals are
»• issued from the American Press, which are
1, I liberally patronized, it has been a subject ofgcncral
1 j regret, that since the discontinuance of that able
f I wolk, the Southern Review, there has been no
t j Magazine established in South Carolina, affording
. a suitable medium through which the opinions of
; our best writers might be brought to hour directly
and usefully upon the public mind. It is with
0 view to meet tills demand, that the publication
of this Journal is proposed—uud that the general
)■ ami substantial support of the citizens of the
South, is respectfully solicited.
1 The proposed Magazine will'consist of origi
nal communications on Literary and Scientific
subjects, of notices of recent publications, parti
cularly in the department of light and fugi
tive Literature, of popular tales suggested by his
torical and local associations, of Poetry and Poli
tical Intelligence. Its columns are intended to
afford a vehicle for tho free, but temperate, dii-1
mission of nil questions, which, from their impor
tance, interest, or attraction, nro deserving of the
attention of an educated community. If it shall
> become, what its name imports, a Journal of
! strict Southern Literature —if it shall servo to
place upon record a true account of the opinions,
■ feelings, habits, and general tone of thinking of an
■ enthusiastic and big 1 minded people—if, under
■ the enlivening inspiration of tho Genius J.oci,
• and with the approving unites of the generous,
1 and the Fair, and the concurrence, and effective
aid of the learned and talanlcd men among us, if it
shall contribute, in any small degree, to secure for
tho south thnt elevated Literary position to which
it is ontilled. mid which it is capable of maintain
, ing, its design will then be fully accomplished.
1 The work will fie conducted by the subscriber,
assisted by several literary gentleman, who have
pledged themselves to contribute constantly and
liberally to ita columns, who are interested
I in its success and who think tho present a fa
-1 voruhle juncture for the commencement of such
, an enterprize. It will be printed in an Octavo
■ form, on fine paper, in monthly numbers of 58
; pages each, and will bo put to press, as soon
.1 as a sufficient number of subscribers can bo
j obtained to authorise its publication. The
“ Journal” will be furnished to subscribers at five
dollars per annum, payable at tho expiration of
six months from the date of the lint number.

i Chronic pains of Bones, Join's, Muscles,
1 arising from a too free use of Mercury,
' or other causes.
THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE.
HAS SPOKEN ! and the tfilicted are once
more called upon to listen to facts which
cannot be controverted; fur a few years part the
| INDIAN VEGETABLE ELIXIR has effected
more cures in the ca. es it is recommended lor,
, than any oilier medicine that has ever been a»-
commcxidcd to the public. It is confidently rj
scrlcd that in 90 cases out of 100. it has had the
desired effect in removing' Rheumatism, Gout,
Pains in the Bones, Joints and Muscles. A lew
of a great many proofs arc herewith submitted.
8o important is it always to have it at hand, that
every family would do well to keep it by them in
case of need. So effectual htts the Vegetable In
dian Elixir proved in all those cases in which itie
recommended, trial lire proprietor feels authorised
to state, it will clloct a cure in ninety cases out of
a hu dred, when taken according to tho printed
directions accompanying each Bottle.—'The Elixir
is composed emit' ly of Vegetable in gradients,
and may tie taken without the least risk or injury
to tho constitution. It is unnecessary to say more
in favor o this invaluable Itemedy ; toooiany in
this community have already been cured by it, Sot
its virtues long to remain unknown, snd it must,
and Will beebmo the universal rciort of the afflic
ted here, as it lias donoin other places. For the
further satisfaction of those who may feel dispos
ed to doubt tlio efficacy ol this medicine, the All
owing Certificates are submitted : Ita reputation,
however, is now os ablishod in every neighbor
hood in Mouth Carolina, and hundreds of our most
respectable citizens can testify to its truly admira
ble qualities.

0 fo.' several yearn pa- 1, at slated periods, been
d griovou >iy slllictcd with rlieumalisiu, and have at

e the common remedies, without obtaining relief
0 Hearing of the value of Dr. Fitch’s medicine, I
1 applied to him lor the seme, and have, as I trust,,
by ihuoiii -acy of his Indian Vegetable Elixir, been
perfectly cured. On one occasion I was for more
tlian a month in such a situation, that I could not
• move my li nbs without assistance, and by malting
1 uso of one bottle, wa r restored. At another lira*
I was fur the space of three weeks unable to leave
my house, and by the use of one bottle was again
relieved. I therefore recommend cordially, and
