The Man that struck Billy Patterson.
The fallowing humorous hit at the late elec
tioneering tour of a certain gallant colonel, we
clip from the Boston Courier:
Hull, Oct. 13th, 1843.
gj r tVe have had more stupendousdotngs in
our city. Hull is all alive again, There seems to
be no end to the “wonderful wonders” that are
destined to set the Hullotiians gaping ana star
ing, nobody Knows now long.
And what do you ihnik we have had this time!
Nothing less than a great procession ano caval
cade, and glorification, and hey day, and parox
ism ot rejoicing, occasioned by me visit to Hull
of no less a personage than “the man tuat struck
Billy Patterson 1”
Various indications in the political atmosphere
had for some time warned usot an approaching
“sometning.” The knowing ones guessed tn is
and that, but for my part 1 was altogether in tue
danc, witnouteven me power of guessing. Sam
mons, who knows every tiling, was observed to
snake hi* head very often ana look wise. Kal
lendar was neard to remark, on three several
occasions, that he would not wonder if “Some
body was coining”—But who could have looked
for tins'?
The “man that struck Billy Patterson'' has
long been an object ol wonder and astonishment,
and suolnne aumuation to the people ol Hun
an admiration only. augmented by the distance
from whicu they contain lated in imagination
tie person of that colossal genius. By me way,
there are some incredulous noodles, who preun
to doubt whether he is the identical individual
that struck Billy. But this issheerstupidoosti
nacy, characteristic of a packet tuinep beaus,
who know nothing ol logic. All accounts agree
that Billy Patterson was struck. Or course
somebody struck him; and it tliat somebody was
not the Colonel, who was it? 1 here is no get
ting over this. For my part, 1 have no doubt
that he did. strike billy, for 1 never saw any body
else strike him—and Kallender is ol the same
opinion.
Never “within the memory ot the oldest in
habitant,’” had there been such exciting, such
inspiring, such thrilling notes of preparation, as
when it was announced by persons of undoubt
ed veracity, that the city ot Hull was to be hon
' ored by th • presence of the man that struck Billy
Patterson. Nothing was talked of but meetings
and organizations and committees ot arrange
ment for the reception of the illustrious guest.
ttKUgreatotvent, lest the day of grand expectation
should slip by, and catch them napping.
To describe all the preliminaries, is entirely
out of my power. Suffice it to say, that the il
lustrious guest actually did arrive, and make
his triumphal entry into Hull, amid the cheers
of a countless thron» of spectators, who rent th.e
air with their acclamati ins. The follow'.ng

Amidst the roaring of cannon, the explosion ol

procession marched tin ough lhe principal si reels,
till it reached lhe town punip Every window
was occupied by a dense throng of the fair sex,
eager to get a glance at the illustrious Visiter,
and it was observed that by a delicate compli
ment to his red jacket, they all wore red night
caps. On reaching tne town pump the proces
sion halted, under a splendid triumph ai arch
hung with festoons ot red herrings, andCorpoial
Smallfry, the Chairman of the Committee ol
Arrangement, welcomed the illustrious g;uest in
the following neat and appropriate speech:
“Colonel, —Since the apparition of the sea
serpent, nothing has given this great and pati iotic
community mote supreme delight than the ar
rival among us of so renowned an indiv idu las
the man that struck Billy Patterson . vVe ten
der you a hearty and wondering welcome The
striking ofßiliy was a great and glorious a chieve
menqand beats all our going a fishing. Nut ced
and so I shut my c amshell ”
To which the Colonel replied in a speech
equally neat and approp iate as follows :
“Mr. Chairman of the Committee cf Arrange
ment, —You are a steamboat. Thei ity ol Hull
isa Kentuck ofa place. Billy Patterson is laid
up in lavender. This is a great country, and
we are all O K.”
This eloquent reply was received witli nine
cheers, after which the chief personages ot 'he
procession marched to lhe Clam-and-Ccickshell
House, and sat down to a genuine . mil fish-li ed.
In the evening the principal buildings of the
city were illuminated, and the Merchants’ Ex
change exhibited a splendid transparency, repre
senting Billy Patterson struck all of a he ap.
On the following day, the Colonel was rowed
over to Calf Island, in Sammons’s new punt.
He was received with unbounded entb usiasm
by the Calf Islanders, and attended a great repeal
meeting in the evening. He made a powerful
speech in favor of repealing the union with Hull,
and uttered the most enthusiastic wish to see
he day when Call Island should become,
‘Great, glorious and free,
?ir»l flower of the earth, and first gem cf the sea.”
This is the first chapter of the grand tour of

And when he next doth ride abroad
May I be there to see.

The Press—lts Power and Influe.-ce.
We make the subjoined extract, from the Ad
dress of the Rev. Dr. Sprague, deliverc i before
the Society of Phi Bela Kappr., in Yale Collego
on the 17th August last. It claims an attentive
pet usai:
We have talked of the. press until it has be
come a threadbare topic ; and yei, wilh all out
talk, we ftavereallv no practical estimate of its
importance. Time was when men’s thoughts
could be communicated only by being spoken ;
and some have conjectured mat even the work
at Homer were originally committed only to lhe
memories of men, and that generations passer,
away before they were written on any mater.a
substance. And wiieu Demosthenesthundereu,
and Virgil sung, it was tor the tew, and not fur
me many: anu their loftly p.eductions were in
u Died even tor Uicir limited circulation to. th.
dogged labor of the transcriber. But the art u.
pfm.mg uas, operated in respect to the ancients
liketnvivord widen will accomplish tue great
resuirecl'.on— ii h..s brought them up from the
grave o', ages, and pieaged to them ah existence
every where and tnrouga ail time, .and the
same art now advanced to a degiee of perfection
wnic n casts tn.o the shade the best improvement.-
ot t’ae past, is emnalmuig men s though is in ou
u,, ys; aye, and giving them wings by which they
*i‘y all over the world. You may sit in youi
closer nowqan; w ithout opening your lit is, spear,
io those who dwell nearest the po.es. You may
multiply yourself, in a single week, into ter.
mousand agents either for good or eval. Yon
may scarcely ever look into the world, and yet
even intones and principalities may leeil lhe in
fluence of your thoughts.
The simplest view of a subject is often the
most iuip.essive. Estimate then .he power oi
ti.e press, by the acknowledges influence ot any
great mum t.rai has spoken th.oUgiiit. Do you
see trial man, in, the eccentricity of nis genius,

1 the noblest etfoits in tue annuls of intellect I
I. is Robert t jalt, busy with his sermon on mod
ern infidelity. tits iriehus have asked mm io
publish it, and he will not decline ; but as yei
it has no ex isience except in his own mind; anu
though he, foauies the labor ot writing, he is
tui mug n is hand at intervals to lhe work. Won
der of the age as lie was tor modesty as well as
for gen .us, be dreamed not of lhe influence
which mat sermon was destined to exert; but
w r—. u. —«— _ —i. o - —-o-
i'. as me masterpiece oi a master mind: it puts it
self sn communion with tne greatest intellects ol
the age; it threw around Christianity a new wall
ot fire; and infidelity, as she bent over its pages,
resolved that silence was prudence. Turn now
your eye to yonder villa on the shores ol the
Mediterranean, and see another mighty mind
pouring out upon paper its brilliant thoughts, to
be given ere long into the printer’s hands : ii is
oyron,—the Heaven-iavored,and yetfoul-mind
ed Byron,—in lhe act of producing one ot his
licentious poems. Peradventure he is dream
ing of nothing but his own fame;—but he is
really opening a new fountain of death upon the
world; he is making a provision to perpetuate
his existence as the enemy of his race ; he is
rendering the splendors oi his genius subservient
to the wild and desperate purposes of uis heart.
Both Hall and Byron are stars that must always
slime; but in tne beams of the one there is lite
—in the beams of the other there is death.
I know not whether it is possible to gain a
higher idea of the power of the press, and the
consequent responsibility of those who wield it,
jtian by looking at the effects which it produces
n connection wilh the political snuggles which
occasionally occur in our own history. A mem
ber oi Congress may rise in his place, and
speak five minutes by the watch,--and yet he
may nave said that which in one week shall
well nigh convulse the wuole nation. A con
vention may assemble to propose a candidate
for tne Presidential chair; and scarcely shall the
result be announced, before the remotest village
in the most distant state suall have responded to
it, and millions of hearts shall be beatnig, and
millions of hands busy, for tue successor uefeat
of the nomination. An emergency may occur
in the administration of our government that
looks portentous of evil; and yet it shall scarce
ly have trans, ired from the councils ol the cabi
net, before the details of the whole matter have ,
passed under the eye of the nation, and men of
every class and every character are speculating
in regard to the policy that should be pursued.
And wiAencucr the waves of public feeling are
wrought up like the ocean in a st .rm, it w ill al
ways be round that toe press has had a principal
ag ncy in producing tne commotion.
I cannot leave this branch ot my subject
without advert ng briefly to our periodical liter
ature; though 1 regret the necessity of dismiss
ing so important anu fertile a topic with a pass
ing remark. Whut was at first a gentle rill
that flowed so silently assearcely to be observed,
ere long became a majestic liver; and that has
been gradually widening until it has lost its
distinctive character in a mighty deluge, that
fl >ws within no definable limits. If there is a
single co. her in any ol the departments of hu
nan speculation ur bunraii action, which our
..etio .rear pressdoes not cover, I know it no.
t'uu may tie a philosopher or a statesman, a phy
sician or a divine, a farmer or a merchant, an
rrtis.n ur an arti-t, n Irienti of the inii-es or a
rend of ttie gr u ces—and you have only to step
ink one ot our periodical depositories to supply
y lur.-ell with the latent, if not lire brightest,
mitghts in the departu.ent to which you are de
v ited. And you are fortunate indeed if there is
no attempt made to set aside your mural agen-'
•y tn this matter—for n has to come to pass, in
these day-., that periodicals come to us unbid
den; and what comes al first with the editor’s
compliments is followed up in due tune with the
publisher’s bill. But without hazarding any
speculations upon the trade, 1 may say whh
confidence, that the man nho conducts a wide
ly extended periodical, presides at one of the
chiel f untains of public influence. He keeps
himself in constant, though invisible, contact
with thousands and thousands of minds. They
may lake little note ot the effect which he pro
duces upon them, and may even silently con
gratulate themselves that their opinions are their
own; and yet tie may be holding them spell
bound under h s magic influence. While he
determines the manner in which no small part
ot their time shall be spent, he imperceptively
helps to mould their taste, guide their judg
ment, fix their prejudices, and give complexion
to their character. Yonder is the respectable
quarerly, devoletl to the interests of science or
literature, of philosophy or religion. It goes
abroad to do a glorious work; and posterity will
see that the name of its editor has a place on
the list of the world’s benefactors. Yonder is a
weekly sheet, designed as the vehicle of slander
and falsehood, ot pollution and impiety. Its is
sues ate like the opening ofa cage of unclean
birds. The vulgar herd together at lhe coiners
of the streets, to glut themselves over it. Its
editor is a scourge to his generation.
Who then can estimate the influence for good
or evil of the periodical press? Who can es
timate the number of individuals whom it
reaches, the amount of time which it engrosses,
the expenditure of thought and feeling to which
it leads, the decisive bearing which it has upon
our individual, social, and national interests?
It is not a small matter, my friend, to be the
conductor even of a countr newspaper; and I
would say to every man who aspires even to
that vocation, “Sit you down first, and count
the cost.”
Frederika Bremer.—The correspondent of
the N. Y. Express, on a visit to the North ot Eu
rope, thus speaks ot the popular and newly
found authoress:
Another visit of mine was to Frederika Bre
mer, the charming authoress ol 'The Neigh
bors,’ a book which secured to have been read,
or in the course ol reading by rhe majority of
American ladies when 1 left home. 1 lound
here ol course, more of the poetry than the phi
losophy ol nature —a woman whose mind was
richly stored with learning, and whose heart
seemed to be alive to all the noble influences of
a good woman. Th.- reading of De Tocque
ville, and of the whole tribe of English authors
trorn Fanny Kemble to Madam Trollope, had
made her familiar wilh luostol our institutions,
and we conversed long upon matters appertain
ing to both Church and State at home. I was
not sorry toieain thaltltesubjectof a government
religion, the good and evil les ilting from such
an association, in contrast with a government
where every man’s conscience is his only moni
tor and all are free to embrace their own faith;
where one sect commands as much of honor and
respect as another, and where the constitution
grants the greatest iieedom oi opinion and the
free»tform of worship, was a subject ol earnest
discussion at least among the thinking people of
the country. It may interest some readers at
home to learn that Miss Bremer is a lady of 30
or4o years ol age. She is neither beautilul
nor young nor old or ugly.
Her appearance is decidedly literary, and lit
erary women you know are never handsome.
The graces of lhe mind take the place ol lhe
graces of person, and as beauty unadorned is
deemed adorned the most, there is but little at
tention given to the merely showy attraction of
dress and demeanor.
•Miss Bremer is everyway worthy of the fame
she has received The authoress, however, in
the true spirit of a familiar proverb, is better
known abroad than at home—pet naps even ore
known in America than Sweden. Several of
her publications have been translated into the
German, in more than the Neighbors into Eng
lish, though I have seen no more as yet, and the
Engl sh ttanslation is not to be bad for love or
•money in Stockholm or Upsala. Fams from
abroad begets fame at home, and it is not un
likely that Miss Bremer will receive more lau
rels .or her genius through the ladies of the la:
famed'list nt America, than trorn her country
men and countrywomen at home.
Louis Philipp'--King “f the French*
We are indebted to the “Picturesque (Lon

lowing interesting notice or this great man:
L uis Phulippe has the twofold instinct o'

otutiun oi July, nts lite is grave, industrious
ami serious ue often ri-es tafore daybreak.

ecge ol tue importance ot one additional day in
his reign. He reads very lew newspapers, ex
cept the English ones. Hrs breaklast is soon
uni'ued, alter which it is hi ministers’ turn;
witn these he lives ii the greatest familiarity,
i’iie man whom he adopts, has at once, at all
times, admission to he King: he is received at
any hour ol lhe da' or night. The King es
pouses lhe cause o the minister as he would
uis own; he lakes at interest m his success ot
every kind; he detente him warmly and sincere
ly, and when he is obliged to displace him, he
tiever says aaieu, lut au revuir. His iamiliari
yis at once digrified and trank. His good
ease is exquisite,even its seventy is tempered
oy a grace only tobe tound in him. He detests
«ne smoke ot tobacco, and thinks that in a roy
ai chateau me smeh of it is abominable; but as
« j very one smokes al the present day, he has
tound away of complaining of it which ottends
no one. In theiiumcruus ot the 1 uit-
iciies, when business prospeis, when his ininis
ry is safe tor a tew weeks, the King is a happy
an. tie nas a natural love lor ad superior
aien, ot whatever kind; he seeks them, he draws
tuem to himseit; he is never ata loss. H ,s
speech is easy, hte memory prompt; ht has been
a ied by good and bad ioriune; a piince oi the
blood, a soldier, an outlaw, an exile, a schoid
master, a king—he had been on a level with
<ill these various conditions. Above all, this
•an, so surruundeu with labors, shines as the
lather ot a family. HM peculiar province
>eeins to be, to biiug up, instruct and enrich ills
cnildien. He fully understands that a large
family m our days is, lor pri oces, lhe most ex
cellent, the least ruinous, and the most easilj r
ardoned of all luxuries. At present h_ has nu
less tnan lour sons, the pride and support ol his
throne, these are the Due ue Memuus, the
Prince de Joinville, the Due de Aumale, and
due de iVlontpensier. lhey have all been
Drought up at college, among other children oi
their age. They lollowed the same courses,
contended tor the same prizes, and oi these pri
zes so envied and so disputed, they have had
their share, but not without great difficulty and
hard study. All these children have been, 10l
tne King a delightful subject of paternal dili
gence and zeal; he has followed them step by
-iep in their studies, he has directed them one
after the other; these children have been his joy
and pride; he has loved them, at the same time,
with passion and prudence. Those who are
uead he has mourned in such away as to draw
ears from the most insensible. Am idst these
unexpected griefs, the death ol the Prin cessMa
, t J 1-1 L1 XL , X-
jusi as she had achieved the renown to w’hich
her great talents as a sculptress fairly entitled
her; the death of his son, the Duke ol Or leans,
the heir to the throne, in the gl ry ot manriood;
the courage of the King has not failed him. By
the side of the King, looking like the guardian
angel of this royal family, is the Queen; a mod
est, amiable, clever woman, who has contribu
ted not a little to the popularity of her family.
The Queen, a daughter of kings, married the
Duke oi Orleans, when he was only a fugitive.
Their marriage was founded much more upon
mutual esteem and affection, than upon inter
ested motives. When the Duchess of Orleans
reached the throne, she thought and acted like a
Queen. She had been consulted by her hus
band in all the important speculations of the
private life as landholders and capitalists. She
is now equally consulted in the management of
political affairs. She is Queen as she has been
the mother ot a family, without ostentation; on
the contrary, though very laborious and devo
ted, she had taken care to conceal her labors.
Though less a warrior thin Napoleon, the
satisfaction of the present king of the Tuilleries
is quile as great, when he sees himself surround
ed, saluted, and recognised by the soldiers and
standards of Fiance. Although a peaceful
king, Louis Phillippe has been a soldier, and
remembers it well. From the way in which he
watches the martial movements, you can see
that he loves them and remembers them with
pride. Ifheisnot embroiled with all Europe,
the king of the French has at least within his
reach an active, and impassioned, constantly
rene ed war, that with Africa. In that he has
inclosed tne martial ardor of France, and keeps
it on the alert; there he sends each year battal
ions ot the elite to learn the dangers and fa
tigues of that great game called war.
Time—a Beautiful Extract.
The following eloquent -pa H er on Time is, we
.believe, from the pen of Paulding:
I saw a temple reared by the hands of man,
st anrling with its pinnacle on the distant plain,
f he storm beat upon it; the God ol nature hurl
ed his thunderbolts against it, and yet it stoo.i
firm as adamant. Revelry was i:i its halls; the
gay, the ha py, the young, and the beautiful
were there; I returned, and lolthe temple was no
more! Its high walls laj’ in scattered ruins;
moss and wild grass grew rankly there, and at
the mfdnight hour the owl’s lon cry added to
the deep solitude. The young am'gay who rev
elled there had .assed away.
I saw a child rejoicing in bis yoti'h; the idol
ot his mother, and the pride of his father; I re
turned, and the child had become old. Tremb
ling with the weight of years, he stood the last
of the generation, a stranger amidst the deso
lation arouno him.
I saw the -old oak standing with all its pride
upon the mountains; the birds were earroling
in its boughs; 1 returned, and that oak was leal
less and sapks-s; the winds were playing at pas
times through its branches.
Who is this destroyer? said 1 to my guardian
angel.
It is Time, said he. When the morning stare
sang together with joy overthe new-made world,
he commenced his course; and when he shall
have destroyed all that is beautiful of the earth;
plucked the sun from its s; here; veiled the moon
in bloo,; yea, when he shall have rolled the hea
vens and earth away as a scroll, then shall an
angel from the Throne of God come forth, and
with one foot on the sea and one on the land,
lift up his hand towards Heaven’s Eternal—
time is, time was, but time shall be no longer.
A '1 rue Story.
It was one of the first days o! spring, when a
lady wno had been watching by the sick bed of
her mother for some weeks went out to take a
little exercise, and enjoy the fresh air. She
hoped that she might hear a bird sing, or see
some little wild flower which would speak to
her of future hope, for her heart was heavy with
anxiety and sorrow.
Alter walking to some distance she came to a
ropewalk. She was familiar with the place, and
being fond of the smell of tar, she entered. At
one end of the building she saw a little boy turn
ing a very large wheel ; she thought it was too
laborious work for such a child, and as she came
near him she spoke to him.
‘Who sent you to this place?’ sheaskedhim.
‘Nobody, I came of myself.’
‘Does your lather know you are here?’
‘I have no father.’
‘Are you paid for your labor?”
‘Yes, I get ninepenee a day.’
‘What do you do with your money?’
‘Doyou like this work?’
‘I give it all to my mother.’
‘Well enough; but if I did not, I should do it.
that I might get money for my mother.’
‘How long do you work in the day ?’
‘From nine till twelve in the morning, and
from two till five in the afternoon.’
‘How old are you?’
‘Almost nine.’
‘Are you never tired of turning this great
wheel ?’
‘Yes, sometimes.’
‘And what do you do then?’
‘I take the other hand.’
The lady gave him a piece of money. ‘ls
this for my mother?’ said he, looking pleased.
‘No, it is for yourself,’ she replied.
‘Thank you, ma’am,’ the boy said, and the
lady bade him farewell. She went home
strengthened in her devotion lo duty, and in
structed in true practical Christian philosophy,
by the words and examples of a little child, and
she said to herself the next time that duty seems
too hard for me, I wil), like this little boy, not
complain, but ‘take the other hand.’— Child’s
Friend.
Comparison of EcHOES.-Not longsince, three
travellers, strangers to each other, met at a
country tavern, the day becoming excessively
wet, each determined to “take up his quarters at
the tavern till the ensuing morning, when per

ter humor.” As is sometimes usual on such
occasions, each became inquisitive to know his
neighbor’s country; and accordingly, out cam
the welcome information that one was a Scotch
man; another an Englishman; while the third
withnosligh gratification, announced himself
a son of the Emerald Isle. Under the pleasing
and mutual hope, that geniuses, so probably ac
quainted with diversified scenes would prove ac
ceptable companions to each otherdaring their
unavoidable detention, they commenced equires,
res, which more orless resulted in details of the su
perior attractions which each r laimed for his
nir/i country. Our travellers had not long in
dulged themselves in general and common
place narrations ere the}' began to borrow on
the more sentimental and mar ellous, among
which arose the peculiarities of Echos.
The Scotchman had little hesitation in at
tributing io his country a superiority in this
respect; and as an in-tance, he adduced the
case of “the castle of Horn, in the county of Ar
gyle; where is a ruined chapel, opposite to
which is a steep projecting rock—in the recess
of which, if a person speaks aloud the echo re
peats the word twice over to any one standing
near the cemetery of lhe chapel with as much
distinctness and effect as when originally utter
ed.”—
“This may be so,” observed the English man;
“and is well enough for such a country, but
what is it in comparison to the echo at the north
side of Steiney church, tn Essex which repeats
•ver and over twenty-one times!" “To the dick
■n& tcauu ye rselves and ye’er echoes,” said the
Irishman, “’tis myself that’s bothered from lis
•eningtoye both making a luss about trifles.
Come along weud me to the lake of Killarney,
nd ’tisn’t repating the same thing over or hether
igatn you’l hear: hut, when you go down to the
rock near the wather’s edge, at the end of my
nother’s garden, and sing out-- ‘Good morrow,
’addy Blake,’ ’tisn’t ‘Good morrow Paddy
slake, you’l hear again, but 'Good morrow to
on kindly, agrah, thank ye for your axing this
ine morning’”
gj-There is a good deal of logic in the editoi
f the Hartford Times—par c.rampZc- he says,
taking the old adage—“He that urns may read,”
hat “a horse runs—consequently a torse may
read. So may a wheel-barrow.”
Democratic Unity.
It seems that the friends of Mi. Calhoun and
Mr Van Buren are irreconcilably divided.—
The signs oi the times indicate lhe fact that otic
cannot rally to his support lhe friends of the olh
er. A Democi at, in the Alexandria Gazette,
says that in the event Mr. Calhoun should tail
to receive the nomination of the National Con
vention : “I would fall into the ranks of the ed
itor of the Gazette, and do my best to aid the
election of Henry Clay, with the abominable
Tariff', American System, Bank and all, rather
than ave me country cuised with another reign
of terror.” .
Another Democrat in the Fredericksburg Are
na, who signs himself "A Viigini. Farmu.”
has expressed a similar determination. He
says : “My opinions induce me to support the
noble son of South Carolina. If that support
cannot avail him, I shall, in defiance oi Mr.
Ritchie’s orders, exercise the righi of casting mj
vote as the interest ot my country requites, in my
judgment; and that vote will be lor Mr. Clay
next after Mr. Calhoun.”
The friends of Mr. Van Buren declarethat
Mr. Calhoun has but little popularity, and that
if he and Mr. Clay are the candidates he will
certainly be defeated. Mr. Caihoun’s friends
declare that Mr. Van Buren is not the favorite
of the people, and as evidence of this, they point
to his overwhelming defeat in 1840. Thus the
war rages with increasing violence, and the
boasted harmony of the Locofocos is manilest
ing itself in a very curious way.
“Theie are none so rare, as can compare
With the sons of harmony.”
Mr. < alhoun is in favor oi “free trade,” so he
says. Mr. Van Buren is supposed lo be in fa
vor of a iari ff. Th' Locofocos at the fol
low in the wake oi Mr. Calhoun. At lhe North
they are in favor oi a protective tariff A Loco
foco paper in Mobile, Ala., has declared in fa
vor of a “horizontal tarijj.' And the New Or
leans Courier, the leading Locoloco paper in
Louisiana, thus speaks of this “horizontal
tariff
“The senseless cry of abolish ing custom hou
ses is one of the absurdities oi the party who
style themselves the patrons of freetiade. One
division ot this party is in favor of a horizontal
rate of duties— that is, the same duty on every
article imported, which is as absura and vile a
departure J ronk-the
as was ever imputed lo lhe protec
tionists.”
Behold bow these Democrats do agree about
their principles.—Hidhland Messenger.
Influence of Women.—ll men hold the po
litical power of society, women have mainly in
their hands the more important moral power.—
There cannot be a moral community where they
are licentious; there cannot be a refined society
where they are neglected and ignorant. Upon
them depend the earliest education and first im
pressions of their children. They regulate, or
materially influence, the principles, opinions
and manners of tneir husbands and their son>.
Thus the sound and healthful state of society
depends on them. It is a remarkable historical
fact, that the wife of Oliver Cromwell endeavor
ed to recall the exiled king, and that all his chil
dren save one was loyal. We must believe they
derived their feelings and opinions from their
mother. All-ed, one of the most extraordinary
men of any age, who rescued his country from
her enemies by his courage, and by his wisdom
and energy raised her from extreme barbarism
to a high degree of civilization, in his youth
was given to idleness and {deasure. His moth
er roused in him the ambition and virtue ihat
has made him the admiration of mankind lor a
thousand years. Napoleon said that to the
manner in which his mother formed him at an
early age he principally owed his subsequent
elevation. It was his opinion that the future
good or bad conduct of a child depends upon the
mother. Mothers, while you are proud of this
distinction, remember the responsibility it im
poses on you. Be wo.thy ol it.— Judge Hopkin
son.

men ever fall in love. His answer was, “If
wise men do not fall in love, beautiful women

O.XTHE DEATH OF A MISSIONARY.
How beautiful it i», for man to die
Upon the walls, ot Zion ! lo be call’d
Like a watch-worn, and wear) sentinel.
To put his armour otf, and rest—in Hou ven
The sun was el ting on Jerusalem.
The deep blue sky had not a cloud, and light
V\ as poui ing on the dome Omar's mosque,
Like molten silver. Everything was tan;
And beauty hung upon the painted lanes;
Lise « grieved spirit,lingering ere she gave
Her wing to air, for Heaven. The crowds of men
Were in the busy sheets, and nothing look'd
Like woe or suffering, save one small train
Heanng the dead to burial. It pass'd by,
And left no trace upon the busy throng.
The sun was just as beautiful ; tne shout
Oi joyous revelry, and the low hum
Oi stirring thousands rose as constantly !
Life look’d as winning ; and the eai th and sky,
And everything seem’d strangely bent tb make
A contrast to that comment upon lite.
How wonderful it is that human pride
Can pass that touching moral as it does—
l’iss it so frequently, in ail the force
Os beautiful and simple eloquence—
And learn no lesson ! They bore on the dead,
With the slow step of sorrow, troubled not
By the i tide multitude, save, here and there,
A look oi vague inquiry or a curse
Halt muttered by some haughty 'l urk whose sleeve
Had touched the lassel ol the Christian’s pa.ll.
And Israel too passed on- lhe trampled Jew!
Israel!- who made Jerusalem a throne
•For the wide world—pass’d on as carelessly;
Giving no look of inierest to tell
The shrouded dead was anything to her.
Oh that they would be gather’d as a brood
Is gather’d by a parent’s sheltering wings!—
They laid him down with strangers, for his home
Was with the setting sun, and they who stood
And look’d so steadfastly upon his grave,
Were not his kindred ; but they tound him there,
And lov’d him for his ministry of Christ.
He had died young. But there are silvei’d heads,
Whose race ot duty is less nobly run
His heart was with Jerusalem ; and strong
As was a mother’s love, and the sweet t.es
Religion makes so beautiful at home,
He flung them from turn in his eager race,
And sought lhe broken people of his God,
To preach to them of Jesus. There was one,
Who was his friend anu he,per. One who went
And knelt beside him at the sepulciue
Where Jesus slept, to pray tor Israel.
They had one spirit and their hearts were knit
With more than human lave. God call’d him home.
And he of whom 1 speak s ood up alone,
And m his broken-heariedness wrought on
Until his Master cail d him.
Oh is it not a noble thing to die
As dies the Christian with his armor on !
What is lhe hero’s clarion, though its blast
Ring with lhemastery ot a world, to this?—
What are lhe searching victories of mind—
The lore of vanquish’d ages I — What ate all
The trumpetmgs of proud humanity,
T«* the short history ot him who made
His sepulchre beside the King ot kings?
Washington’s Sword at the CapitoL
BY MISS n. F. GOULD.
The Sword worn by General Washington during the
Revolutionaiy War, was, at lhe request of his represen
latives, recently presented to Congress. Lis substan
tial, but ot the plainest worKmansiiip —its embellish
ments ot pure and simple beauty, consisting aloue in
the name, Washington, inscribed on the blade.
Behold, there cometh to the Capitol
A mighty speaker, such as ne’er before
Entered, commanding, ol the Congress hall,
With eloquence sublime, to take lhe floor !
Peace’ party strife—be still, each warring word;
Let sell and discoid from lhe scene depart!
Sons of Columbia, ’tis your father’s sword,
Pointing a precept high lo every heart.
See, on its blade his hallowed name it bears,
Whence must a glory radiant like the sun.
Shine lorthto all who should, as rightful heirs,
chare the dear heiilage ins vaioui won.
Look on it, all! the moving sight shall be
Ttueasa touchstone, proving every breast—
Which ot a spirit woilhy to be tree,
Or to be subject, only i> possessed.
For, the cold soul by selfish purpose swayed,
Wrapped in a cloak to hide an under aim,
Mu>t teel no reverence lor this peerless b ade—
Can see no lustre in the P .triot’s name.
Rome’s keenest no' with power like this,
When Caesar’s eye fell quenched beneath ns lid !
Who’d here betray hi* country with a kiss ?
Sooner go perish as Iscariot did!
Who here would sell his birthright at the price
Blind Isaac’s hairy son caused his to bring;
Or to the deed some hungry slave entice ?
Each may have lood where led Chaldea’s king.
And, who s offended by my descant free,
Made o’er this rent stainless and unique ?
“If any. speak,” and let the witness be
charne’s honest blush on eveiy patriot cheek.
Once, in the cause of Liberty unsheathed,
High gleamed this arm, a terror to her foes ;
Now'doth it come, w i h bay and olive wreathed,
Home to her Temple, lot a long repose.
’Twas her good angel in a form of clay,
Who held it fast, with pure, unerring hand,
And like a darning sword, turned ever) way,
Round her young tree just planted in our land.
Then, when he saw the roots u ere firm and deep—
Saw the dove nestled ’mid the spicy bloom,
I*oncer he left his sacred dust to sleep.
Where old Potomac sings beside nis tomb.
While the blue waters, passing, bless the scene,
Brigiit’nmg the baniu soft verdure as they flow,
Doth calm Mount Vernon, with its cypress green,
EartL’s richest, proudest mausoleum show.
There doth our chieftain on his laurels rest;
Where no vain offerings to his wortn appear,
Nature has clasped to her maternal oieasi
Him to whom Art no .uOuament cou d rear.
Ye who, a priesthood lo this temple come,
Guaid well the ark from every touch profane!
Where Right and Fieedom claim a lather-home,
Let net the federal scutcheon taue a stain.
With you, in image, stand* our Washington
In marble beauty, while his dust is near;
Ye have his counsel, and the rights he won;
See that his virtue be not wanting here !
Arm of my country, if a private thought
O’er thee be nascent, or a tear betiayed,
’Tis that my father’s sword by thee was taught—
Hi* oracle, thy wearer, long obeyed.
Go to thy glorious rest! the true, the brave
To theirs are gone, who knew thee in the strife ;
Rest with the archives oi a laud that gave
The world a Washington—our nation life.

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Wednesday Evening, November 1.
Cotton.— The receipts for the past week have been
light as we last reported them; this has been attributed
to the decline in prices and the gloomy prospect of the
crop. Many planters are storing away their crops or
it in with limits so high that they are net offei
ed on the mat ket. Below we give a statement of the
receipts for lhe past month and the, stock on hand; this
is large in consequence of the .. advanced rates of
freights, deterring shippers from sending forwaid their
purchases Not more than one halt the stock in store is
on planters accounts. We give no change in our views
as respects the produce of the present year, as from all
we can learn we are forced to believe that the crop can
not exceed 1.800,000 bales—letters from lhe Bouth-west
daily received confirm these views.
Our market for the present week has been rather
quiet until to-day, when a beltei feeling was evident,
and purchases to a very considerable extent were made
at full rates. We quote 5| (a) cents as extremes of
the market; principal sales atfrotn 7 7| cents square
bales always cc-mmanding a higher rate than round.
Dry Goods, Groceries, sc.— Our merchants from all
appearances seem to be reapinga harvest. Business
in all the different branches of trade is heavy, and as
our stocks are large, Country merchants and planters
are supplying themselves at prices that must give them
satisfaction.
Money.— Exchange on all the Norlhmi cities is abun
dant at cent for sight checks, on Charleston and
Savannah at par. Our Banks discounts bills at inter

<|'HE GENUINE BRANDRETH
jL PILLS have, in all cases in which they
have been used, fully sustained tneir high char
acter. In the East and West Indies, in Russia,
Turkey and china, the Brandrelh Bills are ex
tensively patronized. The same may be said of
Mexico and throughout South America. I have
recently received one order for eighty thousand
'Mixes, from the Gwemar qf a Colony qf Portu
gal in the East Indies. He had user! the Bran
dreth Pills in Madeira, by the advice of lhe very
Reverend, the Cajmn, Tnomas Tolentino de Sif
va my agent at Funchai, and found them so ex
cellent as an anti-bilious physic and purifier of
.he blood, that he became, after much experience
of their beneficial properties, one ol their best and
strongest advocates,and hrsnuwintroduceu them
into the Colony of which he is the appointed Go
vernor by the Government oi Portugal. Thus
the Brandreth Pills continue to have lhe sphere
.rt their usefulness extended.
In the Eastern States of North America, and
in Great Britain, no medicine was ever in such
universal use as lhe Brandrelh Pills. High and
influential individuals often purchase them to ad
.uinisler to the poor. In every place where they
nave been introduced, aud whete no vile imitation
if them hfs been sold, their reputation has con
stantly Incteased, and the circle of their useful
ness enlarged. They are conceded to be lhe best
purgative, the best anti-bilious and the most cer*
tain purifier of the blood known. The cures they
have performed in chronic diseases, where hops
bad fled, is beyond belief.
As a general family medicine, especially in lhe
South, their value is incalculable. By having the
Brandreth Pills always on hand, should a sud
den attack of sickness take place, they can be gi
ven at once, and will often have Lttected a cure
before the physician could have arrb ed. In J bo
ne and inflamation of the bowels, tnce Pills will
<t once relieve, and perseverance in theli use,
according to the directions, will surely du all that
medicine can du to leelore the nealtli or the pa
dent. In diseases arising Irum the use of mer
cury, or ftotn any cause of vitiation, from bad
blood or otherwise, their use will produce lhe most
happy results. In all attacks ol Rheumut em, in
Eryeiphilas, Salt Rheum, and in ease :- or curanic
or recent Costirencss, the use of the Bbanobxth
Pills will be productive of infinite servic ; some
times being produettve of so great a change for
the better, as to occasion great thankfulness. In
all cases of indigestion, worms, aelnma, dwaues oj
the heart, and in all affections of the stomach and
bowels, the Brandrrth Pills will be lound a ne
ver-failing remedy.
To insure the full benefit of these coruoi tec
'ills, they should be kept in the hous., so that
upon lhe first coinineilcement of sickuess they
nay beat once resorted to; one dose then is Ost
ler than a dozen after the disease has oecornr es
tablished in the system.
The Bbandbcth Pills are purely vegetable,
and so innocent that the infant a month old may
use them if medicine is required, not only with
rafety, but with the certainty of receiving all the
benefit medicim is capable of imparting. Fe
males may use them during all lhe critical periods
of their lives;—the Brandreth Pills will insure
their health, and produce regularity in all the func
tions of life.

•rnd his seal stamped upon the paper.
No. 2— Security.
Above all, observe the labels upon (he boxes:
Each box ol the genuine Brandreth’s Pills has
now three labels upon it. The top and the bot
tom label cot.liiining upwards of live thousand
letters in red ink; the words Benjamin Üban
urath’s Pills being printed over two hundred
imes upon lhe two labels.
No. 3—Security.
There are also upon each label two signatures
of Dr. Brandreth—one “B. btandeih,” and also
one “Benjamin Brandreth.” Each box, there
fore, to be genuine, must have six signatures of
Dr. Brandreth u; on it. If the box do not an
swet this discription, the Pills are not lhe Bren
dreth Pills, but some vile counterieit of them, as
all the old labelled boxes have been collected.
Besides th, above signs of genuineness fac
similes of lhe Branureth Pill labels arc upon
lhe Certificate of Agency; therefore compare
your box with the labels on the certificate; if it
agrees the Pills are true, if it does not, they a:e
false.
I have expended much time, and at least five
thousand dollars, in perfecting these checks to
the sale of counterfeit Pills, and in the hope they
will secure the genuine Brandreth Pills to all
who want them.
I remain the public’s servant,
