A meeting of this highly respectable as sociation was held at their rooms. Mr. Jo!) Smith, a worthy and athletic bachelor, was called to the chair, and the usual quantity of vices and secretaries appointed. The committee, appointed at a previous meeting, reported I he following, as the prin ciples of the society. First. —We consider the practice of tak ing infants into public assemblies, con certs, etc. as an evil that cries aloud for I remedy. Secondly. —While we would not breathe the faintest reproach towards the highly re spectable class of the community, who of ficiate as nurses, we strongly protest against their taking their babies into public meet ings, etc. knowing as we do that it can only ’ be done by a resort to arms. Thirdly. —While we acknowledge that a large majority of our fellow creatures are, or have once been babies, we consider it is a fact, that it is a very small minority who support these crying evils. Fourthly. —We cannot shut our ears to the numerous evidences of this evil ; in deed we have known instances of late where if “ms found impossible, with the largest church organ, to drown (not the child itself) but the shrill organic notes of the child. We protest against those notes. Fifthly. —We pleo’ge ourselves to use our utmost exertions to carry out the above principles. After reading the principles of the soci ety. Mr. Dunn Brown rose from an in. verted cradle on which he was setting, and moved their adoption which motion was un animously carried amid the shouts of the assembled bachelors. A committee of fourteen was then ap pointed whose duty is to carry out the ob jects of the society. It is to be hoped, that not a single man will be found in the city, who will not join this interesting asso ciation. J. SMITH, Ch’n. a. t. B. i. B. a..s. Inferiors.—As there are none so weak that we may’ venture to injure them with impunity, so there aro none so low that they may not at some time be able to repay an obligation. Therefore what benevo lence would dictate, prudence should con firm. For lie that is cautious of insulting the weakest, and not above obliging the lowest, will have attained such habits of forbearance and of complacency as will secure him the good-will of all that are be neath him, and teach him how to avoid the enmity of all that are above him. For he that would not bruise even a worm, will be still more cautious how he treads upon a serpent. A Recipe to Cure Diarrhoea. —Have a little bag made out of new linen, strongly sewed, of about four inches long and one inch and a half in diameter; stamp it full of wheat flour, as full as you can get it; tie the bag when filled, and boil it for an hour in clean water; then take it out and let it get cold ; rip open the bag and take off the outer crust, which the water occa sioned, take of the chalky part a tea spoon ful in tea (it matters not what kind of tea) every hour. As soon as the patient feels revived, let him slack and take half a tea spoonful every two hours, and so on, di minishing the dose and time as the patient feels relieved, so as not to create costive ness. When I used this medicine, I took it without tea, but it is hard to swallow, keeping a little piece in my pocket which I used occasionally. The cure will be ef fected in about six hours. This innocent medicine has been sufficiently tried, and effected cure3 when all other remedies proved of no avail. As this medicine can be had without money or price, the writer of this assures the public of its entire effi ciency, and wishes that every family may be in possession of this valuable recipe.— Virginia Valley Farmer POLITICAL* _ = DUTY OF GOOD CITIZENS. The following judicious remarks are co pied from the New England Puritan: “Our Christian character is not complete if we neglect to render our couutry the ser vice she demands of us. it is not enough for us simply to condemn the wrong which is confessed to mingle with the movements of all political parties, and make an ex cuse for standing aloof from political ac tion. lie who makes his piety a reason for refusing to vote for rulers, is guilty of great inconsistency. Until the world is far better than it is, much of wrong, much that is disgusting to the pious mind, will mingle with the action of the people for the elec tion of rulers. But the wrong action of our neighbors does not excuse us from right ac tion. It is every Christian freeman’s duty to use his privilege of voting, and to use it in suolt a way, as seems to him best cal culated to promote the true interests of his country. And not his vote alone, but also the influence which he holds among his fel low-citizens ; yea, and his endeavors, if need be, to quicken and direct the zeal of his fellow citizens, in favor of what lie con ceives to be sound principles.” | We commend these remarks to the good sense of"very American citizen, and par ticularly to tiiut class of men who keep a loot'from both political parties. Surely if a Christian man has any wish to see the government well administered—if he has any regard to see good and judicious men at the head of the Government, —if lie lias any desire that correct principles should prevail over corrupt principles—he is bound to exercise all of the inestimable blessings of citizenship. One half of the evil that springs from had government and bad rulers, arises from the fact, that moral and religious men are inactive spectators of these great results which they might control or avert. A bad man is the very last man in the world not to exert all his influence at the Polls, and if a good citizen folds his arms and refuses to vote, he lends his influence tothe bad government he com plains of. Political neutrality at any time is a great individual wrong as well as a great public grievance. In times like these it is a heinous s.n. We ask no moral and intelligent man to think as we do in re gard to particular men or principles, but we ask hint to vote, to vote for us or against us. If ho is a moral and intelligent c : ‘i zen he will himself be well informed as to men and principles, and vote with all the;, responsibility of a free citizen conscious.-'lf the high obligations he family and country. JUDICIOUS REASONS FOR LEAVING THE LOCOFOCOS, AND JOINING THE WHIG PARTY. Wo most heartily commend the follow, ing excellent, plain, common-sense letter to the consideration of the thousands of citi zens in our country, who have heretofore acted in the Locofoco ranks. The reasons which the writer assigns, for disconnecting himselffrom the trammels of a strict party discipline, and attaching himself to the cause of his country, are perfectly intelli gible and irrefutable : Columbia Furnace. ) Shenandoah, (Va.,) Aug. 26, 1844. \ To the Editor of the Winchester Republican: Sir—l have lived in Shenandoah county for the last five years and over, and have until now been one of the privates in the 10th Legion of Democracy. Why I ceas ed to be one of that formidable bodv, and became oneofthe few but firm Whig squad that now fearlessly flings its flag of defi ance to the breeze, even in the face of an enemy ten times its numbers, and fights like Leonidas, not for victory but for its coun try’s good, I will proceed to tell you. I am not vain enough to believe that a change of my political sentiments is of importance enough to influence a single vote, nor am I tickled with the idea of seeing my name in print; but if the reasons assigned by me are sufficient to induce any one of the 1300 voters of this county to read both sides and reflect that he “has a country to serve as well as a party to obey,” I shall not con sider my work a vain thing. It will save me the trouble also of satisfying the inqui ries of my former political friends, one by one, who bore me almost to death. What have I seen to cause this change l I saw Siienandoah. Rockingham and Page, denominated the 10th Legion of Democra cy, voting always as one man for the Dem ocratic candidate, be he whom he might. The post I filled in a Post Office enabled me to see if any other portion of the Union was like it, and I found none but Edge combe county, in North Carolina, in which by the last census, there were more persons in proportion to population, who could not read and write, than in any other county in in the United States. People that can’t read, must be governed by what others tell them ; and people who can read but won’t read, must be governed and are easily con trolled in the same way. I saw in the cit ies, and in all communities where papers circulated freely, and intelligence abounds, that difference of opinion on all matters, re ligion, politics, &c is sure to be also found. I saw from the papers and from the his tory of ou r country, that the meq.who were foremost in the Whig ranks vrfte neither knaves nor fools, but and as wise as those of my otH£ast in the judgement of the oftlfe people of ’ this Union, which I thought at least equal ill. J. KAPPI L, Printer. in weight to my own judgment and the judgment of my party. I saw a Tariff Law, which was denoun ced by my party as odious and abominable oppressive, ruinous to the interest of ilio people, and destructive of the revenues of tho country, restore our currency to health, revive the energies and business ofoui peo ple, restore the credit of our government, and pour a super abundance of revenue in to our coffers ; until its blessings and ben efits are so great, that a large portion of our party, including our candidate for the Presidency, are forced to prais-’ its princi ples, and mauv to claim it as h : vn measure ; and yet, in the face ot ‘ o facts, I saw the leaders of the Derm ; oy in this 10th Legion still abusing f.n : ’ - nouncing it. I saw tho people of the lOlh Legion prac tising in theirown families and private af fairs Ihe same principles advocated and practiced u: re: by the Whigs m national affairs, \;z . i” r; ike every tiling that we want within our- Ives, if we tan, and buy of those who will take our Oats. Corn, But ter, Wheat, Flour, Arc., instead of those who must have cash. I saw that men ought to profess what thev practise, and practise what they pro fess, if they would be thought honest an 1 sincere. I saw our deni cratic party in the House of Representatii es w ; *h a large ma jority, professing the most inveterate hostil ity to this Tariff; yet when brought to vote for its repeal, they would not repeal it; and I further saw them, with clamorous tongues for a Sub-Treasury, and with the full abil ity of passing it through its body, yet dare not do it ; and 1 could not give them credit for honestv in their professions, but I could for duplicuy. I saw the Democratic Convention tramp ling upon that sacred principle of a repub lic, viz: “that the ma. >ritv should govern,” by casting aside Mr. Van Buren, the choice oi’tlie majority of’the parly, as actually'as certained by Lailot, and substituting there for their own creature, Janies K. Polk. I no longer believed them democrats. I saw the Whigs fighting for the restriction of the Executive, or one-man power, and endeav oring to make the will of the people para mount to the will of one man ; and 1 saw the demorcats oppose them. I no longer believed them democrats. I saw the democratic party in Conr for the purpose of retaining their m actually trample the Constitur 1 foot, and nullify an act of Cc \ f.jinaVi Y pass; i]; ana wl L.J'i ■ . . wt- red tt.eir prute-'t again: .ued act of tyranny, that same ,ic party expunged from the journ.. ...e evidence > that the Whigs had raised their voice a gainst it. In this l saw tyranny, and not democracy. 1 saw the Democratic party so eager for power, that they stiokied not to steal from that poor man. John Tyler, Ins only cuni tal, with the xpectaticu that it would gain them the power they sought. I thought this was not honesty. I saw them willing, for the sake of pow er, to make that stolen capital the cause of war; to sec vnur sous and the husbands of your daughters called to the. frontier to per ish by the sword or disease, in a contest where victory would be disgrace. ! saw no patriotism here, i saw more: I saw a man whose fame has extended to the ends of the earth, abused, viilified and barken at, by men compared to whom he is as the full grown Lion is to the Whelp of the- Cur. I thought tin:; ridiculous Let any man take the trouble to read, and he will see what I have seen. Y'ours, JOHN J. STONF.BURNER. The Matter Admitted .—Mr. Venable, a Loco Foco candidate on the electoral ticket in North Carolina, nan foi. !y turned the tables upon us in relation to old Polk s io ryistn, for he at-kiu-wl V s shu. the candi date’s grand f ‘. ■ i <•„• roa.i v a lory du ring the revoiutii.pary war. ud very inge- ■ niously a> well u- ; . jusly claims mer it for the gran.! : on t’ruin the fact. “ 1 admit,” says Mr. Venable, •■the Tory is-. Ezekiel Polk, but claim tor hi grand; -n, James K. Polk, the greater merit on that account, since, with that bad example, he is not a lo ry likewise, but a true friend to his coun try !” Now this is putting the business upon the right ground, and we are perfectly willing to let the friends of the Baltimore nominee have just as much benefit as they can derive from theargument. The YVbigs never thought of such a thing as enquiring into the merits or demerits of Mr. Polk’san cestry till the Loco Focos undertook to claim merit for him on the score of revolu tionary se'vices performed by his relatives. The Whigs thought it time then, to tell the people precisely the claim he had from that source. We cared nothing about his grandfather or his grandmother, and should! ’ have thought neither more nor less of him whether they had been good people or bad or whether Ezekiel Polk was a gallant sol dier on the side of liberty or a refugee and a tory fighting for the “ r.y and oppres sion against which . < ’ was conten ding. The foe. a that the old sinner was.actu ■ . d*. of the ene. my, and it%as qm <. ; - ■{■> ‘ for us to say so, after the adly a-ivf;>; to make a little capital out of him v his grandson; on thjh false ground thu i“ was a patriot. “"” “ Mr. Venable ha < settled the matter, and wff admit has settled it very fair. v.. We should ’ think, however, that the Loco Foco papers that have been so abusive upon the Wings’ ‘ for stating and proving the same fact,would feel rather foolish.— N. Y. Four. Sp Enq. . [VQUJWE XXX.
