'36, the excitement began to run higl J Respect
ful treatment, reception, and retorts, only
strengthened them, until, on this floor, honora
ble gentlemen asserted a power in congress to
abolish slavery in the States, and d«;lared that
slaves had a right to memorialize tls body.—
Ha y e gentlemen forgotten the course of Mr.
Pinckney, the same now urged by th<igentleman
from Tennessee, (Mr. Gentry ?) had s re
ference and a report. Did that safuiy or check
abolitionism? IVo, the causes havi# continued
to operate, aid the effects to Where
fore, then, do Southern men wish J reference
again ? *
I have tress passed on your patience linger than
I intended. The importance of the iihject and
the interest of my constituents is the f pology.—
Sir, I leave this unpleasant subject wiL you ; un
pleasant it is, in the extreme. Here? at home,
tbroughouf this Union, look at it inlall its as
pects ; it is fearful to the North and aae South.
The issue is at hand, and you arc bould to speak
the language of truth and sincerity to&he North
and the South, to cease on this qu-.*lion your
pirty movements, and tell us what think.—
Reject these petitions, through regardvo the con
stitutional rights of the States. Quiclihe South,
and let the North understand the Got.*rninent is
tottering. Do this, and you effect mu?h to avert
the storm and silence the commotion if the ele
ments. But let the influences that <ft‘ive these
documents here move on, yield youralf to them,
and, we say, talk not to Georgia of her Obligations
to a Constitution trampled by others *nder foot.
She is an humble, submissive instrunf nt at the
footstool of power, or she will rise amfJefy those
who would “ incite her slaves to insurrection.”

A REAL HLEASING TO MOTHERs7~
DR. W. EVANS' CELEBRATED SOOTHING
SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth.— This
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil
dren, when thought past recovery, from convul
sions. As socn as the Syrup is rubbed cm tire
gums, the child will recover. The preparation is
so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no
child will refuse r;o let its gums be rubbed with it
When infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children; for
if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the
pores and healing the gums ; thereby preventing
convulsions, fevers, &c. Soki only at Dr. Win.
Evans' Medical Office, 100 Chatham street. New
York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all
diseases of childre n.
PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS' SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent
of Dr. Evans' Sitothing Syrup: Dear Sir—The
jreat benefit afforded to my suffering infant by
/our Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and
j>ainful dentition, must convince every feeling pa
rent how essential an early application of such an
11 valuable medicine is to relieve infant misery and
‘ arture. My infant, when teething, experiencovl
mch acute sufferings, that it was attacked with
convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the babe from anguish,
till we procured a bottle of your Symp; which as
soon as applied tc the gums, a wonderful change
was produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by continuiug 111
its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com
pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful
complaint has since occurred ; the teeth are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health.
I give you my cheerful permission to make this
acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any
information on this circumsti nee.

their parents, or those under whose care they m»
be placed.
All parents and guardians patronizing this insti
tution, are earnestly requested to furnish their
daughters or wards with plain and substantial
clothing, as all extravagance in dress will be dis
countenanced by the teacheis and trustees.
Additions are making to the buildings on the
teacher’s lot, immediate!}' contiguous to the Semir
nary, for the accommodation of twenty or thirty,
boarders, under the immediate care of the teachers..
