In “ treading in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor,” he has exhibited no signs of faltering. A Sovereign State has gone by the hoard, and he shows no signs of alarm. Hen. Jackson, in his prime, nev er dared to do a deed so bold. Hundr* Is and thousands of American citizens have been til.- fr nehised by an Executive edict, issued, no d übt, in secret, to be carried into effei-' by the Clerk of this House, and the party here, by which a State lose< live out of six of her Representa tives, for the sole purpose of giving the President and his party the power to rule this House, and, through the action of this House, to secure his re-election. Is not this a monstrous usurpation 1 Has history any parallel 1 Tyrants have dissolv ed legislative bodies by fence of arms, but here the President wills it, and it is done almost with out a struggle. Mr. Speaker, I have said it, and I repeat it here, elected as I was by the State rights party of Geor gia to a seat in this House, on the principle that I stood in opposition to this Adminis*ration— elected by a party opposed to Mr. Van iiuren— opposed to measures enumerated by ne in this elfirt in behalf of my constituents as belonging to him— l cannot consent to be counted among those who follow his Administration, übd I seek this early opportunity to “ define my position- ’ that I may not be suspected by any man living. A man like me, Mr. Speaker, who has ever been accustomed to roam at large in the beauti ful forests of his own. his native land, uncontroll ed even by parental authority, cannot submit to be harnessed with the shackles of party and col lared with Van Burenism. No. sir; no, sir. I will go against this Administration as long as it goev wrong, and when it goes right I will go home. [Some member replied, you will remain here a long time, my dear sir.] If I were compelled to take r’des in the contest between William Henry H irrison and Martin Van Buren, I would not hesitate to support the man who declared in 1835, that the conduct of the abolitianists was “ weak, injudicious, pre sumpfuous, and. unconstitutional and that, to», in a non s’aveholding State, and to a non sUvehold'ng people. The man who wtood by Missouri—the General who protected ihe great vjlly of the Mississippi by his deeds of .|alor, and secured to its inhabitants peace anil protection in place of danger and alarm—such a man is General Hurrrison. And, .f I were to. conceal mr preference for him over Mr. Van |Juren, I smuld act uncandidly to my friends, ar|l dishon ; tstly with myself. He pronounced thje efforts of the abolitionists unconstitutionat: I am proud to call his opinion to aid m} own. Hence Isay, refuse to receive these abominable peti tions, end disregard these fanatics. A down-eastcr advertises for a wife tn the fol lowing manner: “Any gal what’s got a cow, a good feather bed wiib comfortable fixins, five hundred dollars in the ha d pewter; one that’s had the measles and | understands tendin’ children, can find a cu torner for life, bv wrilin’ a small billy dux , addressed to Q Z., and slickin’ it in a crack of Uncle Eben- I ezer’s barn, back side, joinin’ the hog-p;:n,” A Piif.pah vtout Stuhv.—Before any man | sets out to invent perpetual motion, we recommend his practising the trick of getting intcj a basket and lifting himselfby the handles.

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 soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. The preparation is so innocent, so elDcacious and so pleasant, that no child will refuse ta 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 ; fox if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the pores nnd healing the gums; thereby preventing convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Win. Evans' Medical Office, 100 Chatham street, New York, where the Doctor maybe consulted on all diseases of children. PROOF POSrriVE OF THE EFFICACY OF Dr. EVANS' SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir —The jreat benefit afforded to my suffering infant by four Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and rainful dentition, must convince every feeling pa enthow essential an early application of such an i ivaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and iarture. My infant, when teething, experienced juch acute sufferings, that it was attacked wiih convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that death would soon release the babe from anguish, till we procured a bottle of yeor Syrnp; which as soon as applied to the gums, a wonderlul change was produced, anc. after a few applications the child displayed obvious relief, and by continuiug in 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 i acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any information on this circumst; nee. WM. JOHNSON.

TOM TUNSTALL. j THIS thorough bred Horse will ] stand from this time until the first of i W ul >- next at *‘ ie st ab!e in the lower P art of Augusta, formerly occupied % j fj# by Bertrand, Jr. Terms—s3o the season, payable at the last visit; for three or mi re mares, owned by the same person, $25 each: $1 for the groom. PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, E c q. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows : Tom Tunstall was foaled mine on the • 'th May, 1831. His dam v. as High land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare the sire of highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom Tunstall was sired by o i Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisned Tom Funstall has descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States. He was a race horse of the first order, but 1 lear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Hak dy Cryer, Gallatin, 1 ennessee, you can a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus Highland Mary combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any maib ever raised in Tennessee. She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir Archie ; grand-dam Saily Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, (son of O’Kelle; s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century;) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wranglcr;great-great-grand dam (J’Possum by imported Shark; great-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great great-great-grand-dam by imported Eearnaught; great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s old Mark Anthony outof a mare by imported Mou key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none will require a purer or better atteste 1 pedegree!— If farther recommendation be wanted, call and see Tom. WILLIAM HOLMES, Agent. 22—trwizwtf \T G. SUG VR.—3l hhds N. O.
