Prize Banner.
to the Whigs of the United Stales.
The Committee appointed by tbe Baltimore
City Whig Convention for the purpose of pre
paring “an appropriate Banner,” to be present
ed to such State Delegation (Maryland except
ed) in the “ TFowng Men's Whig Notional Con
venlion of Ratification to assemble in J Baltimore
on Thursdtv/ the second day ofMuv, 1844, as shal I
on ihat occasion have the proportionably larger
number in attendance, having in view the Whig
population oUhe several Slates as tested by the
Presidential electfob 01'1840, and their respec
tivedisufice-sfro.n this city,” respectfully in
form tbeir Brother Whigsthronghoutthe Unton
that the agreeable"duty thus assigned to them is
now nearly, completed. A banner is in prepa
ration, which the committee have endeavored to
make worthy ot the occasion, worthy alike ol
the donors and ofthe gallant Whigs who are to
be the successful competitors for its possession.
It will bear upon its front an admirable likeness
of him upon whom the eyes of the Union are
to fix in hope and expectation, and who has al
ways been (to use the words ot the motto upon
our Banner) “in all assaults our surest signal.”
It will be supported by an Ash Staff, cut at
our request by the hands of Henry Clay him
self, from the soil of Ashland.
It is the object ol this address to invite on be
balfof the Whigs ot Baltimore, an earnest and
energetic competition among the Whigs ofthe
several States lor the possession of this Banner.
The Committee flatter themselves that intrin
sically it will not be unworthy ol regard—but
they leel,assured that hereafter it will possess a
iar higher value, as the memorialofan occasion
hallowed by the interchange of whole-hearted
fellowship among Brothers of the same political
faith, and which tor the importance ot the trans
actions there enacted, and the benefits resulting
therefrom, will be entitled to perpetual com
memoration.
The Committee desire also to state in ad
vance the principles upon which the Banner
will be awarded. It will be observed, that by
the termsof ihe resolution under which the
Banner ha? been prepared, it is to be presented
to tbe proportionable largest State Delegation,
having in view the Whig vote of 1840, and the re
lative distance from the City of Baltimore.
The first particular of ihe calculation, (the
Whig vote,) has been easily ascertained, except
in the case of two States, South Carolina and
Rhode Island,. In South Carolina the electors
are elected by the Legislature, and there has
never been a test vote by the people. In Rhode
Island, under the old Constitution, which has
been altered since the last Presidential election,
the qualifications for suffrage were so limited
as to reduce the vote below that of Delaware,
although Delaware is entitled to but halt her re
presentation in Congress. Under these circum
stances, the vole of 1840 being manifestly an un
faittest, the Committee have determined to leave
the question open, in reference to Rhode Island
as well as to South Carolina, until more definite
information can be had direct from some of their
Whig friends in those States. They were de
Birons es obtaining the necessary particulars be
fore the issuing of this address, and had post
poned it for that purpose; but the 2d of May be
ing now so near at hand, they deemed it advisa
ble to defer its issue no longer. Before the meet
ing of the Convention, they will endeavor to
adopt a rule which will be just alike to the gal
lant Whigs of the two States named, and to those
of other States.
Todetermine the relative distances from Bal
timore ofthe several States,theCommittee have
come to the conclusion, that the fairest and most
equitable general rule they can adopt, is to take
the mail route to the capital of each State, and
to make the Post Office books the standard.
Upon this basis the calculation is as follows :
—Make Deloware the starting point. Her
Whig population is 5967—Dover her capital, is
80 miles from Baltimore. The delegation from
each other-Swe should be ether larger or small
er than that from Delaware, in proportion to its
greater or less Whig population, with a propor
tionable reduction tor an increased distance, or
a proportionable addition for a decreased dis
tance. Thus
The Whig population of New' Jersey is 33,-
351, which is 559 per cent of that of Delaware.
Therefore, for every 100 delegates sent by Dela
ware, if the distances were equal, New Jersey
should send 559. But the distance from Dela
ware being only 63.49 per cent, of that from N.
Jersey, (which is 126 miles.) New Jersey would
be required to send only 63.49 per cent of the
number she must otherwise send, that is, 63.49
per cent, of 559, which is 355.
Adopting this method of calculation, the Com
mittee hive prepared the following table for
their government in making the award.
The first column gives the Whig population
as tested by the vote of 1840.
The second column gives the distance from
Baltimore to the Capital ot each State.
The third column gives the proportion which
the Whig population ot each State bears to that
of Delaware.
The fourth column gives the proportion which
the distance from Delaware bears to that from
each other State.
The fifth column gives the number of dele
gates from each State required to equal one
hundred delegates from Delaware, after taking
into consideration their relative population and
distance —if at is to say, the per centage upon
the delegation from Delaware.

Baltimore, •list March, 1844.
jyThe Whig editors throughout the Union
are respectfully requested to publish the above,
copy the following brief notice
public services of this distinguished veteran:
“Gen. Porter was a native of Salisbury,
Conn., where he resided until aboutthe year
1790. He then emigrated to Canandaigua, in
this State, where he remained until the year 1800.
He then took up his residence at Black Rock,
where he remained until within a few years,
when he removed to Niagara Falls, where he
lived till the time of his death. From the year
1800 to 1808 he was largely engaged in com
merce on the Lakes Ontario and Erie. He was
at the last of these periods elected to Congress,
and subsequently re-elected in 1810. He was
Chairmanof the Committee on Foreign Rela
tions in 1813, who introduced the Report declar
ing war against Great Britain.
“ His great speech on internal improvements
was delivered in this last Congress. It was
then prophecy, and has since become history.
It is quoted at length in Hosack’s life ofClinton.
“Gen. Porter was one of the first, and the very
last Commissioners appointed in conjunction
with Clinton, Governor Morris and others to
survey the route of the Erie Canal.
“ During the war he was appointed Coniman
der-in-Chief of the volunteer troops in this
State, and distinguished himself at the battles of
Lundy’s Lane, Bridgewater and Chippewa.
“ Under the administration of Mr. Adams, he
was appointed Secretary ot War, and remained
there until the desolation and destruction of
Jacksonism swept over the land. The duties
ot his office were discharged with great ability,
and to the full satisfaction ofthe people of the
United States. He then retired from Washing
ton to Black Rock, and continued in private
life, with the single exception of voting as an
elector of this State tor Gen. Harrison in the
canvass of 1840- He continued till the time of
his death to take a deep interest in the political
struggles of. the country, and was incessant in
his efforts to overthrow Locofocoism or modern
Democracy?*
The Germantown (Penn) Telegraph states,
that through the exertions ot JohnF. Watson, ol
that place, a monument will shortly be erected
over the remains ofGeneral Nash, who died of
wounds received at the battle of Germantown;
also of Col. Boyd, Major White, of Philadelphia,
and Lieut. Smith, of Virginia, who were also
mortally wounded in the same battle. They
rest side by side, near the Washington Camp
at Wampole s field, in the Methonist meeting
house ground, near Kulpsville, Montgomery

Foreign Items.
[from papers by last Steam Ship.}
Right or Visitation.—Sir Bobert Peel, in
reply to a question from Lord Palmerston, has
declined to state what instructions have been
given to cruisers on the African Coast with re
gard to suspected vessels hoisting the American
or French Flag. He, however, could say gen
erally that, in the instructions that he had issued
during the presentyaar, they had main ainedthe
principles lor which this country had always
contended, and that they were in substance the
sameof Her Majesiy’sNavy in former years. He
trusted that, tor the present’ he would not press
him for an explanation of a more precise nature.
He intimated that the Right ot Visitation is
now under discussion at Washington.
Turkey.—According to letterslrom Constan
tinople of the 7th ult. disturbances ofa very se
rious nature have broke out in the northern
parts of the province of Albania, which are at
the present moment in a state ot open revolt. It
was feared that the province of Bosnia, in which
the people are in a state of great discontent,
would join in the movement. These disturban
ces are in no way connected with the recent re
volution in Greece. Russia and Austria are
said by some to be instigators of the revolt,
whi.e others affirm that it has been produced by
what the German press calls “the Pansclavonic
Union,” and that the refugee Poles, of whom
there are a great number in the Sclavonic dis
dricts, are intimately connected with it.
Portugal.—Accounts from Lisbon to the‘2lst
ult. state that the foolish attempt at insurrection
had utterly failed. The few revolted troops in
the neighborhood of Elvas, had retreated across
the Spanish fontier, and been disarmed by the
Spanish authorities. At Abrantes, a great num
ber of the discontented soldiers had joined their
regiments, the number that still held out did not
exceed 250, and the population hadnot in any
place given themjihe slightest countenance. The
Cortes, after contering extraordinary powers on
the Governments, adjourned on the 21st till the
end ofMarch.
Italy.— Rome Feb. 3—The thirteenth anniver
sary of his Holiness the Pope was celebrated
yesterday, at St. Peter’s. Several foreigners of
distinction were present at the ceremony. With
in ihe last few days several noble Spanish fami
lies have arrived here. The accounts received
from the Roman States are distressing; murdets
beingeommitted in the open day, and even in the
midst of the most frequented places robberies are
perpetrated with the utmost impunity.
Greece. —Accounts from Athens come down
to the2lst January. The National Assembly
was s'ill engaged in discussing the draught of
the constitution. By a recent decission of that
Assembly, the emigrants from the Turkish pro
vinces who look part in the struggle for indepen
dence and settled in Greece, up to the year 1837,
are to be considered citizens of that kingdom.—
The winter had been very severe, and much dis
tress prevailed in the country.
Prussia.—Letters from Posen, of the 4th inst.
say, “,Orders have been received here for all Pol
ish emigrants who took part in the revolution,and
most of whom have come to us from France, to
quit Prussia within a tortnight. In this order it
is positively declared| that no petitions for a mi
tigation of the measures will be attended to.
It is said that the Poles have been detected in
communication with the Russian deserters. ”
Egypt—Correspondence from Alexandria
of the 28th ult., afinounces that Mehemet Ali,
who still continues at Cairo, had just recovered
from a severe attack of convulsions of the stom
ach. Il has been remarked that his physiogno
my changes color frequently and suddenly, and
that his blood appears to flow in his veins with
extraordiny rapidity. A case of plague has
been declared at Damietta.
Russia.—Letters from St. Peteisburgh, of the
30lh January, announce the promulgation of an
ukase declaring that the Roman Catholic cler
gy of the Western provinces of the empire
should be paid by the State. They are to be di
vided into five clases; the pastors included in
the first class are to receive .£IOO per annum,
and those of the last class £37.
Syria.—A letter trom Beyrout, dated 17th of
January, states that a general insurrection is on
the point of bursting forth in the Lebanon. The
roads are insecure, and the persons employed in
tillage are compelled to bear with them fire
arms for their protection, whilst trade is utterly
extinguished. The unhappy Maronites ofKes
seronan are suffering, it is affirmed, unheaid of
vexations.
Manumotive RailwayCarriage.—The Lon
don Railway Times states thatarailway carpro
peliedby the hand, is in use upon the London and
Graydon Railway. It is light and elegant in
its appearance, and will carry seven or eight per
sons at the rate of eighteen miles an hour. It
has been propelled adistance of three miles up an
inclineofl in 100, in seventeen minutes. Itis in
tended io be used by Engineers in travelling the
line in inspecting repairs and other works, going
on in connection with the work.
Statistics of War, by John Alien, Esq.
Austria.—“ Austria is said to have first
made her army a permanent one about tbe year
1680, many years after the same measure had
been adopted in France, but about the same
time as in England. About 1710, it amounted
to 130,000 men; in 1771, to 200,000; inl7Bßto
364,000; in 1800, to 496,000, and in 1809, to
750,000 men, including the militia, being one
third of that number. At the present time, the
army on Ihe peace establishment appears to
number 280,000, and about 500,000 when on
the war footing. The navy consists of about
thirty-five vessels, ot which three are ships ot
the line.
The public debt of Austria, first contracted
in the last century, in a war against the Porte,
is stated,in 1783, at 15millionssterling; in!79l
it was 28J millions; in 1797, 50 millions; in
1806, 100 millions. In 1809, it was diminished
by 80 per cent, through arbitrary measures
adopted in a slate of insolvency; yet, in 1816,
it seems to have reached 166 millions. Late
accounts represent it as again reduced to about
70 millions sterling.
The Austrian revenue is stated at 8 millions,
in 1770; and 91 millions in 1790; and at 10
millions in 1801. At present it is said te
amount to 13 or 14 millions sterling; and one
third ofthe whole appears to have been absorb
ed by the expeuse of the army.
The resources of Austria were exceedingly
drained by the exertions made in a protracted
war to counteract the spread and success of rev
olutionary principles in France. A system of
paper money, or assignats was resorted to by
the Austrian government, like many others, to
supply the necessary means, and these were
forced into circulation, togethef with a base
metallic currency, issued at twice its intrinsic
value, to the great injury and immense priva
vation of private individuals.”
Great Britain.—“ From a careful examina
tion ot Hume and other historians, it appears
that since the Norman conquest in 1066, down
to the present lime, Great Britain has passed
about 412 years in war, 102 years in partial
warfare, and 263 years only in complete peace;
the last being but about one-third of the whole
period of 777 years. The fotal number ol these
wars has been about 60. But while we recount
the list of her wars, and the period of their du
ration, who shall estimate the sacrifice of life
by their means, the money that has been ex
pended, the injuries that have been inflicted, or
the aggregate damage that has been sustained
by domestic peace, by commerce, by industry,
by science, and, above all, by morality and re
ligion 7”
Civil Wars of England.—“ The fierce do
mestic war between the rival houses of York
and Lancaster commenced in 1455, and contin
ued, with some intermissions, far 30 years.—
This fatal quarrel was the cause of not less
than twelve pitched battles. It is computed to
have cost the lives of at least eighty princes of
royal blood, and almost annihilated the ancient
nobility of England; so that, at its conclusion,
it is said that not more than forty peers could
be found to constitute*the upper House of Par
liament. So cruel was the spirit of retaliation
and revenge, that large numbers of persons of
distinction were often beheaded in cold blood,
pany.‘ u A'tß?>e’".ivin tbe nowe.' of the opposite
history by the delicate name of the Wars oi
the Roses. How little would the name lead us
to suspect the misery which lies beneath! At
one of the battles in these wars, viz. in 1461, at
Towton, no fewer than 36,000 men are compu
ted to have fallen by the hands of their own
countrymen and fellow subjects; and in the
whole twelve battles, the number of slain ap
pears to have been about 70,000. A remark of
Hume, the historian, on the character of these
times, deserves to be quoted in this place. He
says, ‘ There is no part of English history since
the conquestso obscure and so little authentic
as that of these Wars of the Roses. All we
can distinguish with certainly through the deep
cloud which covers this period, is a scene of
horror and bloodshed, savage manners, arbitra
ry executions, and treacherous, dishonorable
conduct in all parties. The animosity between
them was vindictive and implacable in the ex
treme; and the scaffold, as well as the field, in
cessantly streamed with the noblest blood of
England.’ ”
A Lively Place.—They have a little town
“ out west” (says the Picayune! which appears
to have been overlooked by Dickens and other
English travellers of his class, and which is “ all
sorts” Os a stirring place. In one day they re
cently had two street fights, hung a man, rode
three out oftownona rail, got up a quarter race,
a turkey shooting, a ganderpulling, a match dog
fight, had preaching by a clergyman, who after
wards ran a foot-race fordrinks “ all round; ”as
ifthiswas not enough, the judgeofthecourt,after
losing a year’s salary at single-handed pokerand
whipping a person who said he didn’t under
stand the game, went out and helped to Lynch a
man lor hog stealing.
=E)pWe hear considerable talk, among the
Van Buren men, about the speech ot one Mr.
Woodbury, lately delivered in the United States
Senate. We wonder if the author of this pro
duction is the same Levi Woodbury', thatashort
time since, figured so largely as Secretary of the
Treasury 1 The Secretary, we recollect, was a
master hand among the finances, missinghis cal
culations, according to Mr. Calhoun, on an
average, about thirty millions ot dollars a year.
No w if the speech-maker has any ofthe Secreta
ry’s mathematics about him, it may be that he
lias, in the same way, hit or missed, the nail on
the head. Levi may be a scribe, but he is aw
ful at a calculation—that’s a fact.— Columlus
Bug.
“Johnson Melodies.” —The friends of Col.
Col. Johnson, in Niagara county, says the Al.
bany Evening Journal, are “ going it good and
strong.” We have a sheet of melodies before
us, published as a “ Democrat—Extra,” from
which we copy the following. As the Van Bu
ren men have commenced “song-singing” per
haps they will pitch their pipes to this

Ths Brotherhood of Mercy.—Sometimes
at Florence, in the midst of a cavatina, or pas
de-deux, a bell with a sharp, shrill, excoriating
sound, will be heard; it is the bell della miseri
rardia. Listen! if it soun I but once, it is for
some ordinary accident, if twice, for one of a
serious nature; if it sound three times, it is a
case of death. If you look around, you will see
a light stir in some ot the boxes, and it will of
ten happen that the person you have been speak
ing to, if a Florentine , will excuse himself for
leaving you and take his hat and depart, You
inquire what the bell means, and why it pro
duces so strange an effect. You are told it is
the bell delta misericordia, and that he with
whom you were speaking is a brother of the
order. This brotherhood of mercy is one of the
noblest institutions in the world It was found
ed in 1244, on occasion of the frequent pesti
lences which at that period desolated the
towns; and it has been perpetuated to the pre
sent day, without any alteration, except in its
details —with none in its purely charitable spirit.
It is composed of 72 brothers, called chiefs of
the watch, who are each in service four months
in the year. Os these seventy-two brothers,
forty' are priests, fourteen are gentlemen, and
twenty-eight artists. To those who represent
the aristocratic classes and the liberal arts, ate
added five hundred laborers and workmen, who
may be said to represent the people. The seat
of the brotherhood is in the place del Duomo.
Eabh brother has there, marked with his own
name, a box enclosing a black robe like that of
the penitents— with openings only for the eyes
and mouth, in order that his good actions may
have tbe further merit of being performed in
secret. Immediately when the news of any ac
cident or disaster is brought to the brother who
is on guard, the bell sounds its alarm, once,
twice, or thrice, according to the gravity of the
case; and at the sound of the bell, every broth
er, wherever he may be, is bound to retire at
the instant, and hasten to the rendezvous. There
hp learns what misfortune or what suffering has
claimed his pious offices; he puts on his black
robe, and broad hat, takes the taper in his hand,
and goes forth where the voice of misery calls
him. If it is to some wounded man, they bear
him to t ie hospital; if the man is dead, to a
chapel; the nobleman and the day laborer, cloth
ed with the same robe, support together the same
litter; and the link which unites those two ex
tremes of society is some sick pauper, who
knowing neither, is praying equally for both.
And when these brothers ot mercy have quitted
the house, the children whose father they have
carried out, or the wife whose husband they
have borne away, have but to look arouud them
and always, on some worm-eaten piece of furni
ture, there will be found a pious alms, deposit
ed by an unknown hand. The grand duke him
self is a member of the fraternity, and I have
been assured that more than once at the sound
of that melancholy bell, he has clothed himself
in the uniform of charity, and penetrated, un
known, side by side, with a day laborer, to the
bed’s head of some dying wretch, and that his
presence had afterwards been detected only by
the alms he had left behind.— Dumas in Italy.
Pleasant Amusement.—On a late visit to a
foundry in a neighboring town, we were very
much interested in a species of amusement in
which a flock ofducks were made to play avery
conspicuous and comico-serious part. A man
was bevelling some railroad wheels with the aid
of machinery, aud such was the immense
friction, that the shavings of iron which came
from them were nearly of a white heat resem
bling long spiral worms. Ducks are a very
greedy fowl, and the man, who had a large
family to support at home, would occasionally
chuck a quantity of the glittering material out
of a window near the surface of the floor,
where he was carryingon his scientific opera
tions.—As the deceptive article fell, the ducks,
true to their voracious character would quickly
gobble it down—and the hot iron would as
qnickly pass through their crops and bum its
way into the open air again. The result was,
that the ducks met with a most inglorious death,
and their ingenious destroyer would quietly
repair to the scene, gather up their bodies, and
with his family, live luxuriously on game for
weeks together. This is no fancy sketch, as
the living ducks can well testify, that have wit
nessed the melancholy results. In view of the
whole matter, we canonly say with Hudibras—
*• Alas! what perils do environ

Death from Disappointed Love.—The
Brantford, (C. W.) Courierof 2d instant, related
the following:
“ Some few weeks back a young man by th e
name of William M,Leod, residing in th e
neighborhood of Brantf ord, led to the Hymeneal
altar a young woman to whom he had been for
some time paying his addresses, and whom he
supposed would at once become “ his blushing
bride,” but just at the moment when he expected
the clergyman lo tie the matrimonial knot, lo!
the father of the young man entered the church
and declared that, relative to these proceedings,
he “sterqly disapproved,” and placed such
impediments in the way of the union that the
clergyman desisted from tbe ceremony; and the
parties seperated to enjoy, as all supposed, for
some lengthened period, the “sweets of single
bliss.”—Not so, however, determir.ed the disap
pointed fair one. The next week witnessed her
approach to the same shrine, led by a more
successful suitor, and in a few short moments
she became wedded to her newly discovered
love. While this fickle creature was revelling
in the delight of the honeymoon, her late un
happy lover was suffering all the misery of
disappointed hopes and slighted love; and the
fatal effects of consumption which had previous
ly made their appearance, were rapidly accele
rated. Within afew days hispassions were all
snbdued and his wrongs reduced by the mighty
hand of death, and his cold remaims were con
veyed to the silent grave.”
Inundation of the Zuider Zee.—Previous
to the latter part ofthe thirteenth century, nearly
the whole ot what is now called the Zuide Zee
wasdryland. In the year 1287, 12,000 square
miles of territory were inundated, and 80,000
persons lost their lives by the catastrophe. In
1570 an inundation occured which cutoff 100,000
persons. Since that period similar disasters
have been less frequent, owing to the construe*
tion of dikes to keep back the swollen waters.
In 1809, however, owing to an unusal rise in
the Rhine, during the prevalence of a furious
gale from the North-west, the surface of the
Zuider Zee was elevated several feet above the
highest tides, the river dikes were destroyed, and
the destruction of life and property was tremen-
In the winter of 1825, Amsterdam itself
that if the tide had ctßuweeww and it is said
minutes longer, this proud and rich city, with
its 200,000 inhabitants, would have been sub
merged. As it was, the destruction was very
great in a pecuniary point of view.
An American Lion Killed.—A large male
Puma was recently killed in the town ot Diana,
Lewis county, New York. It was called, and
supposed to be, a Panther. This Puma, Cou
gar or American Lion, is five feet nine inches
long, with a tail three feet and one inch. He
has no mane, or brush at the end of the tail
like the lion, though of the same color. He
has a round head and broad muzzle, and body
more slender and less elevated than the lion.—
Audubon’s description applies to this animal,
viz:—The upper parts of the body are of a
bright silvery fawn and tawney, hairs termina
ting in whitish tips beneath, and on the insides
ot the limbs he is nearly while and more com
pletely so on the throat, chin and upper lip, the
head of an irregular mixture of black and grey;
outside of the ears at the base, and at the place
whiskers take their origin, and the extremity
ofthe tail,is black.” The Puma is now seldom
found in any part of the United States except in
some remote and unsettled spots.
The New Bedford Bulletin says, that a letter
received in that place, from on board the ship
Canada, dated Bay of Newita, lat. 51 41, Aug.
25th, 1843, states that the natives on the coast
seemed very kind; that there had never been a
whale ship there belore; so that considerable
trade was carried on with the inhabitants. The
writer also states that they had a chief on board,
and intended to keep him for fear of danger; lor
so long as he was on board, the natives would
not dare to harm them.
It is not a singular fact that every President
ofthe United Stales we have ever had, from the
days of Washington to those ofthe present Ad
ministration, have, in some of their respective
Messages, recognised and recommended the
protective policy ot the Whig Tariff, except
the elder Adams and Martin Van Buren 7 And
yet our opponents denounce that policy as a
“ Federal measure,” and tell us the opinions of
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
Adams, and Jackson upon this subject are not
sound ! This, truly is Locofocoism.— lllinois

The Captain’s Yarn.
While c ~.. , u . We-iein Isles in the
supposed iracx ol an American Irigaie, one
morning, at daylight, a very suspicious looking
gentleman was discovered to leeward, and sail
made in chase. The discovery appeared mu
tual; fa»t as canvass was crowded on the Clo
rinde, (we’ll call her so,) the stranger wasequal
ly industrious. Otl went the sehooneranuaway
went the frigate at her heels; and throughout
the day the chase continued with alternate suc
cess. If the breeze freshened, the Clorinde out
carried the schooner, and came up; when jt light
ened, the enemy crawled away, and increased
herdistance; and night fonnt both parties in
statu quo, as when they had commenced the
race. Of'course the Yankee wouldavailhirn
self of the darkness to bid his dangerous com
panion anunceremo-.iiouslarewell; while pleas
ed with her company, the Clorinde was desirous
of improving the acquaintance, and particularly
anxious to renew friendly relations in the morn-
Thesun set —darkness fell. The skipper first
inquired, “What was to be done!” and after
secretly communing with himself, he seemed to
have found an answer lo his own question. The
frigate’s course was changed, her canvass re
duced, and the result left lor daylight to decide.
Morning broke nt last, ami there was the schoon
er on the Clorinde’s weather-bow, scarcely two
leagues to windward!
In a moment, the Irigaie was again in chase ;
every inch of “muslin” was spread lo woo the
breeze, and, from tr ek to deck, the Clorinde ap
peared a cloud of canvass. All day the pursuit
continued; the same anxiety, the same fortune
as before. The chase was even more tantalizing
than that of yesterday ; fir once, when the
breeze was fresh and steady tor a half an hour,
the frigate haddrawn so much ahead, as enabled
her to pitch a nine-pound shot through the
schooner’s mainsail.
“What the deuce is to bedonenow?” ex
claimed tbe Captain io the Second-Lieutenant,
after ‘blaminglight breezes and dark nights,’as
sailorswill do occasionally. An hour’s light,
a wholesale breeze, and Master Jonathan you
would have bidden a long farewell to Boston!
What course shall we shape ! Egad, I’ll try
an experiment. I.have run him two hundred
miles farther eastward than he likes. A Yan
kee’s full of tricks, and probably he'll tty to
dodge me in the dark. Round the frigate to.
We’ll stay as we are, and see what luck morn
ing will bring.
Sail was shortened; the watch set; the crew
turned in ; the Captain Unit his Lieutenants re
tired lo console themselves in the cabin ; and
all believed that they had looked their last upon
one of the largest and finest clippers which had
ever left a Yankee port.
Twice was the bell sttuekere morning came.
It broke slowly and sullenly, for the sun had hid
himself within a fog bank. Every eye was turn
ed anxiously around- -ahead—astern —and nojh
ing was visible but dark-blue water. The fog
bank parted—out came the sun—for miles
around the sea was lighted gloriously; and—
“ Blessed Mary I call it be ?”
a short league on the Inboard quarter, Master
Jonathan was laid too, looking as innocent and
unsuspicious as a sleeping seagull!
If the skipper of the privateer would have
seen that beautiful national melody (his own)
of “ Sich a gillin’ upstairs” practically illustra
ted, he should have looked at the crew ofthe
Clorinde, as on the first alarm s they came swarm
ing up the hatch-ladders. Both vessels made
sail; and the scene of pursuit and disappoint
ment was re-enacted once more. Twice during
that long day orders were given to cast loose the
chase-guns; but the capricious breeze became
light and less steady; the schooner clawed to
windward —fainter and fainter still—the wind at
last died totally away ; night shut the vessels
trom each other’s view ; and, in the morning,
the Clorinde had the ocean apparently to her
self, the rover was—Heaven knows where.
Years afterwards, 1 was in a sea port coffee
room, where sundry captains of merchantmen
were indulging in long stories and hot grog.
Several of them were Yankees; and, to my
amusement and surprise, an old and hard-fea
tured Bostonian was narrating every particular
oftherace between the schooner and the Clo
rinde.
“ I was tarnation seated,” observed Jonathan,
“ I’m blessed, but I thought more than once that,
in five minutes, I would have had the Britisher’s
broadside slick into the schooner’s rils. i’ll
never be so near cotched again, I guess.”
“How did you feel when vre pitched a rounl
shot through your mainsail?”
The Yankee looked at me.
“ Why, tarnation qnecr, I guess ; but who
the deuce, friend, are yon 7”
“ The man who laid the gun that let daylight
through your canvass.”
“And what was the frigate as hunted me so
hard 7”
“ The Clorinde; Captain .”
“Well, aint that singular too! When I
thought to dodge ye the second night, and let you
run a tinkers chase after me, while I hove-to,
and let you pass—when the sun came out o’the
fbg, and diskivered ye beside ir e—says I lo my
chief officer, Jeremiah Pike, says J, that there
frigate’s a reg’lar witch, and her skipper either
Captain , or the devil. I guess I was rather
shrewdish there— watn’t 17” »

Scene after the Storming of Badajoz.—l
reached the bridge over Guadiana in three
quarters of an hour, but, to my great surprise
and concern, instead ol finding everything quiet,
and everybody occupied in attentions to the
wounded, and preparations for burying the
dead, as I had anticipated, I beheld a scene of
the most dreadful violence and confusion. Par
ties of intoxicated men were roaming about,
loosed from all discipline, filing into the win
dows, bursting open the doors, plundering, vio
lating, shooting any person who opposed them,
quarrelling about tfie plunder, and sometimes
destroyed each other. I proceeded amidst this
dangerous mob to the Talavera gate, and thence
to the main branch. There, indeed, was a most
awful scene, where—
“ Mars might quake lo tread.”
There lay a frightful heap of fourteen or fif
teen hundred British soldiers, many dead, but
still warm, mixed with the desperately wounded,
to whom no assistance couldyetbegiven. There
lay the burned and blackened corpses of those
that had perished by the e. plosions, mixed with
those that were torn to. pieces by round shot or
grape, and killed by musketry, stiffening in their
gore ; body piled upon body, involved and in
tertwined into one hideous and enormous mass
of carnage; whilst the u.orning sunbeams,
falling on this awlul pile, seemed to my imagi
nation pale and lugubrious as during an eclipse.
At the toot ofthe castle wall, where the third
division had escaladed, the dead lay thick, and
a great number were lobe seen aboutthe San
Vincente bastion, at the opposite side of the
works. A number had been drowned in the cu
nette of the ditch, near the Trinidad bastion,
but the chiefs laughter had taken place at the
great breach. There stood still the terrific beam
across the top, armed with its sharp and brist
ling sword blades, which no human dexterity or
strength could pass without impalement. The
smell of burnt flesh was yet most shockingly
strong and disgusting. Joining some of the
medical officers, who were beginning to assist
the most urgent cases amongst the wounded, I
remained during the morning and forenoon ;
then, hastily eating a biscuit blackened with
gunpowder, and taking a mouthful of wine, I
returned to my charge at Campo Mayor, passing
in my way to the Elvasgate of Badajozthrough
the same dreadful ordeal as before, for the sack
of the city was now at its height. The bells a:
Campo Mayor were still ringing merrily at in
tervals,and everybody aas rejoicing. Rejoicing!
after what 1 had just witnessed! After the sa
crifice of two thousand of the bravest troops in
the world in the storm, and double the number
during the siege ; after the piteous meanings
and dying ejaculations yet torturing my hear
ing; the blood-cemented pile ol slain still fresh
in my eye ; rejoicing aft -i all the e.—Une s <■/

Wetrust they will not. They have suffered,
we think, too severely under the excruciating
“experiments” of Locofocoism during years
past to forget. Can they forget who have writh

have barely life left, every thing being lost that
makes life a blessing? Can the merchant for
get who has been bankrupt. Can the manufac
turer forget who has been broken up? Can the
mechanic forget whose hammer has lain idle
for years, and whose family were compelled to
retrench, to economise, and pinch to get through
the year 7 Can the fanner forget whose pro

mand half its former price, even when he could
sell any portion? Can tbe laborer forget who
was thrown out of employment, and who was
imploring it in vain, while his family were suf
fering from hunger and want? No! No! they
cannot, will not forget. They did not forget in
f 840 who brought their misfortunes.and suffering
upon them—who had reduced the country from
a high state ot prosperity to one ot suffering—
who it was that declared that “ the people ex
pected too much ot the Government"—who it
was that provided one kind of currency for the
office holders and another for the people—who
it was that promised the people gold and silver
in such abundance that they should flow up the
Mississippi—that they should glisten through
the interstices of every farmer’s silken purse, yet
furnishing the people nothing but rags—thus
promising bread and giving a stone. The people
have not such short memories as to forget all
these things, and they are about to settle their
accounts once more with those by whom they
were deceived, cheated, defrauded, ruined.
Nor will they forget that the country has been
restored to life, health and vigor, by the wise
provisions of a Whig Congress, and by the re
duction by the Whigs, of the expenditures of
the Government from thirty-five to twenty-two
millions per annum. We repeat the language

A Genuine Scene with Abernethy.—About
a year and a halfbefore the death of Mr. Ahcr
nethy, a big fellow, clerk in a hrewei’s estab
lishment, went to .consult that eminent man,
when the following conversation took place be
tween them:—The palieni, who had a very cra
zy frame, but a sound Understanding, said upon
entering ttie parlor, and seeing a little old look
ing man with the knees of his breeches loose,
1 want to speak to Dr. Abernethy. Doctor—l
am no doctor; what blings you here? 1 came
for advice to be sure. You don’t think I come
to ask you how you do? Hah! muttered Ab
ernethy, evidently pleased with meeting a con
genial customer;’no, I hope not; but there’s no
use in your coming to me lor advice—you
won’t take it. Yes, I will. I’ll be Jiang’d if
you do. i’ll be bang’d if 1 don’t. What trade
are you 7 A butcher,'or a publican, or a cost
ermonger I Not a bit ol it; you’re all wrong ;
I’m a brewer’s clerk. What they call a broad
cooper? lam a collecting clerk. Worse and
worse. Nothing can satisfy fellows of your
kind, you drink beer till you burst.
Show me your tongue. The patient imme
diately obeyed the command by lolling a large
yellow furry tongue over his chin. Bad, said
Mr. Abernethy, very bad. You were drunk
last night? No 1 wasn’t. So much the worse;
for the state of your tongue must then proceed
from habitual drinking. You are always
drunk, and you don’t know it. You drink what
you fellows call “heavy wet?” No, 1 don’t.
I drink ale, because I wish to serve my employ
ers. To serve your employers? Then you
pay for what you drink ! No, I don’t. I hap
pen to he one ot the first houses in London.
Then if you stay much longer with them they
will be one of the last. Here, (pulling some
of hisspedfic pills but ot a drawer,) take one ol
these every other: night, and diminish your
draughts of ale from gallons to halt pints. But
t oil won’t remember what I say to you 7 Yes,
I will. No, you won’t. You have no memory.
I have as good a memory as yon. I’ll get off a
hundred lines in Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’ with
you any day Aye, Pandemonium !
You are always dreaming ofthe devil and all
his angels; isn’t that it; but I often feel a pal
pitation of the heart, or a headache, without
having been a bit lumpy. Nonsense! How
can a fellow who liilfes upon ale have either
head or heart 7 You have stomach and guts
enough. Really, sir, 1 get very depressed par
ticularly when 1 can t get in the debts ot the
house. It is always cold morning with me
then. Well, I advise you to take exercise, and
have mercy upon your employers and yourself.
Good morning. As the patient was walking
ot<t ot the rooni._Mt-_ Abernethy said—stay,
where are you doing business? Over the wa
ter. Well, take a cab. Why so? You just
said exercise is good for me. Yes, but between
this and your place of business there are twenty
public houses, and I am greaily afraid of the
shortness of your memory. When shall I call

fied wiih that instead of a fee. There (ringing
the bell and whistling,) that’ll do, but give me
another call.
Fires.—Our citizens were alarmed on Friday
morning last by the cry of fire! which was found
to proceed from the building occupied by J. H.
Andrews, as a Lottery Office. Through the ac
tive exertions ofthe firemen and citizens gener
ally, it was extinguished without much damage
being done, though for a short lime it promised
to be a very destructive conflagration.
On the nightot the same day, about twelve
o’clock, the community were again aroused by
theory of tire, which proceeded from the dwell
ing house of P. A. Clayton, Esq.; and owing
to the violence of the wind, the flames spread
with such rapidity, that it was found impossible
to save either the dwelling house or out-houses
indeed, the familyofMr. Clayton barely es
caped with their lives. The Firemen were
promptly on the spot, and through their strenu
ous efforts, the fire was prevented from spread
ing to thesurrounding buildings. Mr. Clayton’s
loss was probably from three lo four thousand
dollars. No insurance.— Columbus (Ga.) En

the weather took an unfavorable turn. The
wind veeredwound and blew very heavy from
the West, driving down large pieces of floating
ice and breaking the embankment erected by the
State laborers for the excavation ot the canal.—
the steamer Fairport, Captain Davis, coming in
from ihe West about the same time, was driven
from her course up the offing, and now’ lies sur
rounded by ice, about a mile and half south ot
the light-house, and sonic three quarters ofa
mile from the shore. The mail and passengers
were brought ashore safe this morning. The
Fairport must remain in her present position
until favored with a strong south wind, which
will enable her to work her way out. ;
The steamer St. Clair, which cleared for the
West yesterday morning, look the north shore
to avoid the ice, and is probably safe under
Long Point. The sail vessels which appear
under the marine head as having cleared, have'
not left port, norisit likely tb ey will for some
days to come, in consequence of the storm.

cities caused a supper to stand ccld and un
touched, when a flying mercury, but a false one,
brought them the news of “83 tor Gazzam in

coming as it did was [glorious, and one loud
and long shout—a yell, came from Armstrong’s

Candcr—but unintended.- -The Hon. John
Wentworth of Illinois, otherwise known as “the
Giraffe ol Chicago," in a let: er home, speaking
of and to his own friends, says that “ every Dem
ocrat must prepare himself, n jt only the
common enemy,but forZrcasn nin his own ranks;
as a person has only to set Inis price this season,
and he will get it.” The n John admits that
Democrats may be brought—iliac their princi
ples lie in their breeches, pockets! This is
truly flattering to his party, to be sure, and f ully
sustaines what Mr. Calhoun said of them
“ that they were bound together t,y the cohesive
power of plunder.” We believi it is true, and
thinks that some of the party m ould be a batt
bargain at any price.— IFAig Sb andard.
' Etiquette among Beggars.- —The beggars in
Europe stand not a little upon c omplitnents and
ceremonies in their intercourse among them
selves. An EnglMi papersay s that in Dresden,
lately, a little girl was heard to call from the
I window of a miserable house. , to her opposite
neighbor, “ Please, Mrs. M— —, mother sepds
her best compliments, and if it’s fine weather,
would you have the kindness to accompany her
a begging to-morrow 7”

Very “distinctly!”— The Spirit of the
Times, a loeoloco paper iii Philadelphia, thus
distinctly mourns over the anticipated defeat of

as those ofa dying swa.n.
“ Distinctly, then, w e are not opposed to the
nomination es Mr. Van Buren. Distinctly,
however, we shall lo- >k upon that nomination as
the prelude to a Dei nocratic defeat. We say

V> OMEN F . r : i:> j;:> er Tunis pot: Marriage.
—A Ciil, an i-I,e m . iioffexl, is cooped in a
small loom. S>l: aei,i «>1 gold and silver are
placed upon her ankles and wrists, as a piece of
dress—Jtbhe isjo be married to a man who has
shackles whicli a former wife wore are put 'its
the new bride’s limbs,and she is fed till they
fill up to apr oper thickness. The food used for
this custom, worthy of the barbarians, is called
arough, whi ch is of an extraordinary fattening
quality, also famous for rendering milk rich and
abundant. With seed, and their national dish
cuscasco, '.he bride is literally crammed, and
many actually die under the spoon.
It be said in reply, says the U. S. Gazette,
with just severity, that lhe/aZ ofthe Tunisian
bride is fat; but those who bustle up their
daughters for the market, seem to be guilty ofa
deception as great as is the butcher tcAo blows
up his veal.
A Miss mis-k;ssed. —An amusing incident
occurred with a friend of ours the other day.
He was expecting his mother in the evening
train fi on i Baltimore, and like a good son re
paired to the depot to meet her. It was a dark
day, and. by the time the cars arrived, there was
no such thing as distinguishing the faces ofthe
passenge.Ts. As he entered one of the cars, a
lady sea ted in a corner addressed him as “fath
er”—the vojpe was his mother’s, and the title
one wb ich she always gave him while at his
house among his children—so without hesita
tion, he threw his arms around the lad) ’sneck
and kissed her. Just then a gentleman" pushed
him gently aside, and went through the same
ceremony. This was very strange, he thought,
the man kissing his mother! Hardly had the
thought passed his mind, when his veritable
mother came forward and kissed him. Very
much embarrassed, he turned to the gentleman,
“ Sir, 1 have made an egregious blunder; but
whose pardon shall I ask, yours or the lady’s 7 ’
The meek reply was, “ Thee had better ask the
lady’s pardon, though I don’t know which had
the best ofthe bargain, thee or my daughter.—

A PUBLIC BLESSING! .
Wherever and by whomsoever they have been
used, throughout the length and breadth of this
widely extended country, have uniformly nnd
invariably received the aonroval of the public
voice. Upwards of 900,000 boxes of these Pills
have been sold, and not a single instance of dis
satisfaction, with respect to their effects upon the
system of those who have made trial of them,
has ever come to the knowledge of the proprie
tors or their agents; but on the otherhand, thou
sands of testimonials have been given of the un
paralleled excellency of this preparation. They
are extremely mild in their operation, neither
causing sickness of the stomach, or any other
unpleasant sensation in the system, as is fre
quently the case w’ith medicinegiven to act upon
the bowels; hence multitudes, who have been
unable to take other pills or preparations of med
icine, on account of their nauseating effects, use
these pills without the slightest disagreeable feel
ings. They possess not only cathartic, but also
tonic or restorative qualities; and such is the rare
combination of the cathartic and restorative pro
perties, that the system is not reduced and left
in a torpid and costive state by their use, as is
the case with almost every other preparation
heretofore offered to the public as a remedy in
bilious complaints. But while the stomach and
bowels are freed from all morbid impurities, they
. are at the same time invigorated and brought in
to healthful action ; any person making a'single
trial of these pills will find this to be strictly true.
; Indeed herein consists and is found that grand
desideratum in medical science sought after from
age to age by the most distinguished sons of the
healing art.

Talladega Springe, Talladega Co., Ala.
= , August 17th, 18 >. ’’
Thik is to certify, that I have been afflict: (with
sick headache, dyspepsia and liver con feint
and costiveness for the last eight or nine years’
1 during which time I had taken, as well a’ I re
r collect, about sixty boxes of Beckwith’. Pills,
twelve boxes of Peters' Pills, and a nun er of
- Champion’s and Brandreth's Pills, all ol v hich
, afforded me but little or no relief. At last! was
recommended to try Dr. Spencer’s Vegetable
Pills, and well I did,’ for I never had but or. - at
tack of the sick headache after 1 commenced tak
ing the pills (now about six months,) and J can
-1 didly confess, that I have derived more rea! ben
r efit from the use of Spencer’s Pills, than tre i all
Z the other medicines and pills that 1 have ever
> taken, and I would earnestly recommend them
, to all, as being in my opinion, the best medicine
in use for all lingering complaints. The pills
have done me so much good, that I wouh. not
feel willing to be without them for five dollars a
’ box; and I cannot but feel very grateful to Dr.
1 Spencer for having prepared such n valuable
r medicine, and the distribution of it is confei ing
• avery great favor on the public, as it is a thing
• of the utmost importance, that every fa idly
■ should have a supply of Dr. Spencer’s truly v alu
able pills constantly on hand.

A certain and effectual cure for Ague and Feve
j also used successfully in the treatment of Bil
ious Fever, Nausea, General Debility, and Ner
, vous Weakness.
I Os all the remedies ever discovered firr the safe
certain and effectual cure of the ague and fever,
or chills and fever, none have more merited and
received the approbation of the public than these
pills. Upwards of eiehty thousand bo< es hsve
been sold in only six States, within the last 12
, months, and over 20,000 boxes ot these have been
sold in the Stale of Alabama alone. The propri
etors have never known a single instance where
these pills have failed to cure the chills and fever,
they h g e been used strictly according to the di
rections accompanying them. One box of these
pills is, generally, sufficient to cure two common
cases ot chills and fever. Judging from these
facts, the proprietors have the most satisfactory
reasons for knpoqsing that upwards of 100,0(11
persons have been restored front sickness to
• health by using this important medicine dthnt
too in the brief space of twelve months. Indeed,
no language can describe, no tongue can Express,
and no pen can portray the vast amount of slck
' ness and suffering which these pills hnve reliev
ed, and the joy tmd gratitude of those who have
been restored to health by using them.
Each box contains 20 do=es ol pills. Price *l.
Forfurtherparticulars respecting this medicine
the reader is referred to a pamphlet and bill of di
rections, which may be had gratis, on application
to any of the agents who sell the pills.

For the speedy and effectual extirpation ol all
species and symptoms of the v J dispose, Pro-
fessor VESPRINI’S PILLS stand unrivalled.—
1 They have long been in general use in the princi ■
pal cities in France and the U. States, by those
. persons afflicted with this class of disease; and
i are daily receiving their, unqualified approval.—
. The unexampled success of this matchless and
, powerful preparation has won for itself a name
. never to be forgotten as long as there remains an
afflicted sufferer upon the lace of the Globe. It
is truly surprising to obseive how speedily and
harmlessly it enters into every minute channel,
effectually dislodging every germ, annihilating
every leprous spirit of the most dreadful of nil
diseases; and, al the same time, never failing to
fortify the system against every disposition, or
subsequent attack of this complaint.
Full and explicit directions accompany each
box of these Pills, nnd a statement of some ot
the most prominent symptoms is laid down as a
guide to the patient in distinguishing one form of
disease from miother; also, a statement showing
tlie result of the treatment of one hundred cases
in one of th:, most distinguished hospitals in
France.
