Extract from Gov. Lincoln's Message to the
Legislature of Massachusetts. •
The early recurrence of the constitu
tional period for the choice of President
and Vice President of the United States,
requires the performance of an important
duty by the Legislature, at the present
session, in directing the manner of ap
pointing Electors on the part of this
Commonwealth. With a knowledge of
the almost universal sentiment of your
constituents to direct you, this will be no
difficult service. Confidence in the re
publican principles and eminent qualifica
tions of the present chief magistrate, ex
perience of his capacity and demoted fidel
ity in the discharge of the high trusts with
which he has been invested, and a cordial
approval of the measures, generally, of
his administration, have created for him
a preference with the people ol Massachu
setts, which they will doubtless claim the
opportunity fully to express. Yet we
cannot be indifferent to tire diversity of
opinion, which exists among our fellow
citizens, in other parts of the Union. It
is indeed deeply to be lamented, that on
a subject of common and equal concern to
the whole nation, a spirit should anv
Remarkable Sagacity of a Dog.—A.
singular instance of canine sagacity has
just been related to us, Mr. George D.
mkeeper of tins town, a few nights since,
at a late hour sent his coloured man Bob
with a one horse waggon to convey two
meu to Hoborten. A setter dog, about
two years old, belonging to Mr. Small,
accompanied (he waggon. In descending
Bergen hill, the breeching broke; the
horse ran a considerable distance, over
turned the wagon, tore himself from the
harness and plunged into a ditch of deep
water. The dog who had kept up with
the horse’s speed, plunged in after him,
and seizing one of the blinds of the bridle
undertook to bring the horse (onshore.—
The men were all so much bruised that
they could afford no assistance, and left
the horse in charge of the dog, while they
went to apply for help at the house of Mr.
Vanbuskirk, which occupied about an
hour, it being past midnight and the fami
ly asleep. When (hey returned they
found the dog succeeded in piloting the
horse to the bauk of the ditch, the latter
being entirely underwater, excepting his

I WATCH FOR THEE.
[From the Cypress Wre»th,by Mrs. C.B. Wilson.]
2 watch for Thee!—when parting day
$heds on the earth u ling’ring ray;
With bis last blushes, o'er the rose
A richer tint of crimson throws ;
And ev’ry flow’rets haves are curled
Like Beauty, shrinking from the wot Id;
When silence reigns, o’er lawn and lea,
Then, dearest Love! I watch for Thee?
I watch for Thee!—when eve’s first star
Shines dimly in the heavens afar,
And twilight’s mists and shadows grey
Upon the hike’s broad waters play ;
AA he.j not a breeze, or sound, is heard,
To startle evening’s lonely bird;
But hushed is e’en the humming bee—
Ihen, dearest Love !—1 watch for Thee;
I watch for Thee!—when, on the eyes
Of childhood, slumber gently lies;
When sleep has stilled the noisy mirth
Of p ayful voices, round crur hearth,
And each young cherub’s fancy glows,
V* ith dreams that only childhood knows,
Of pleasures past—or yet to i,e—
Then, dearest Love!—I watch for Thee.
I watch for Thee!—Hope of my heart!
Returning front the crowded mart
Of worldly toil, and worldly strife;
Aud ail the busy scene of lift*;—
Then, it thy brow ot brightness wear,
A moment's space, the shade of care,
My smile, amid that gloom i shall be
The rainbow of the storm to l'hee!
Useful Hints relative to Bed-clothes, Mat-
trasses, Cushions, <$'c.
The purity of leathers ami wool em
ployed lor nraitrasses and cushions ought
lo be considered as a first object of salu
brity. Animat emanations may, under
tnanv circumstances, be prejudicial to the
health ; bur the danger is still greaie^,
when the wool is impregnated with sweat,
and the xcremcntinns parts of persors
who have experienced putrid and conta
gious diseases. Bed-clothes, and the
wool of mattrasses theiefoie, caunot be
toe often beat, carded, cleaned, and wash
ed. This is a caution which cannot be
too ofteu recommended.
It would be very easy in most situa
tions, and very effectual, to fumigate them
with muriatic gas.

dottors. No sooner do the masters and
mistresses of family fairly set to work on
the doctor’s work, than they acquiro
such an uhra acuteness in discovering the
symptoms i f diseases, that they find them
selves subject to all the maladies to which
“ flesh is heir.” Then follow draughts,
pills, boluses, and all the et cetera of the
pharnracHpoeia, anti! the poor stomach is
fairly worried into such a state of disor
ganization by these abominable visitors,

be called into repair the mischief which

tha exclusiveness of party associations,
should be excited, to impair the force of
considerations of personal qualification,
and to endanger a just regard being had
to capacity for the public service. With
whatever anxiety the election may be re
garded, the sentiments which are expres
sed and the measures which may be pur
sued to effect the issue, will be of more
eventful moment. Republicans have no
fears, that the virtue of the peQple will
not be effectual to restrain, or to correct,
the abuses ot a brief official authority.—
They have no threats against possible dis
appointment in the canvass. Exercising
their privileges with intelligence, and dis
charging their duty independently as free
men, they will respectfully acquiesco in
any conaiituiional result. They are not
of the class of {politicians who would set
the value ot the Union against the issue of
a ballot. They who would madly do ibis,
kuow little ol its cost. Theirs were not
the sacrifices at which it was purchased,
nor theirs the bio >d with which it is ce
mented. Better spirits formed, and,
thank lieaven, there are brave spirits, yet,
to defend it. The idle practice, upon
evety occasion of discontent or excite-
mtiai, of threatening the dissolution of
the Union, should be indignantly reprov
ed. The admonitory counsels of the Fa
ther of ids country should be reiterated to
the ear, aud to the heart, of every citizen
ol the Republic. Tiie people, otherwise,
may not heed, because-thev will not see
im daugov, until ih.it which is made fa
miliar in word, shall come to be endured
tu very deed.
And who ate they who would sacrifice
this fair inheritance of freedom, ef civil
institutions, of persona', sociriy, and of
national happiness, to 'be fierce domin
ion of patty, or to :m fancier! advantages
ol a piedonrtuai tv? sectional power.—
Will tire hardy u . ; r- r • ous yeomanry of
the laud, the in: • ;nr,t and enterpri
sing aittzaiii, manufacturers, and mechan
ics, 'he busy workshops of industry
and invention, whose arms are nerved to
labour, and whose independence is in
their condition, be the only sufferers ?—
Can the salutary protection of a presiding
General Government be withdrawn from
■ one portiou ol the country, and the au
thority of local sovereignties be exercised,
with more benignant influences, in ano
ther ? Let there he no such delusion.—
It is the very extent of our territory, the
variety of its soil and products, and the
diversity ot habits and pursuits among the
people, giving occasion for trade, ex
change, and intercourse, which create ne
cessity for union. The baleful conse
quences of division will be confined to no
section of the country. They will be
vtsi ed, in paralyzing jealousies, alike, up
on the East and upon the West. They
will overwhelm with appullii ipprehen-
sious, the white population ot the South.
There is no security to liberty, but in this
bond of connexion. In a mutuality of in
terests, and the obligation of common
protection, consist our only strength—the
prosperity, as much and as truly, of the
parts as of the whole, of each particular
State, as of the entire Nation. Let him,
then, be accouuied as an enemy to his
country, who would lightly esteem the in
tegrity ol the Union, false to the people,
who would arrest their career of glorv bv
inculcating sentiments or inducing to mea
sures, which may tend to its destruction.

Southern Anti-Bilious Pills.
I T is worthy of remark, that the people of the
Southern States depend on those of the North,
to, prescribe Anti-Bilious Pills a climate to
which the latter are, in a great measure, stran
gers, and consequently cannot know the peculi
arities and temperament of the system of those
in Southern sections, as well as those residing
there.
The Pills most commonly vended at the South,
are Lee’s New London Anti-Bilious Pills, which
are, beyond doubt, excellent laxatives, and mav
be sufficiently active on the biiions system for
the healthy State of Connecticut, where they
are manufactured; but in the Southern States,
and particularly in the State of Georgia, whete
the liver is often more or less engorged, it will
be found they have but little effect in restoring
the healthy functions of that organ.
The manufacturer of the Southern Anti-Bilious
Pills, has for several years been contemplating
a form of Pills, and has occasionally made alter
ations, until he believes he has now prepared an
Anti-Bilious Pill as well adapted to this country
as any Pills that have been, or probably will be,
invented. And in a course of a considerable
practice, he has had opportunities of conclusive
ly testing their efficacy. They are easy upon
the stomach, and unless that organ is und^r con
siderable irritability, will not in the least impede
ones repose at night; and when taken at late bed
time, will not ordinarily operate till morning.—
In cases of engorgement or torpidity of the lives
and where the spleen is affected, they will be
found equal, if not superior, to any form of lnxi-
tive that can be given.

ceived and for sale at the AUGUSTA BOOK

ofgoori Morals, aud of sound Literature and
'1 agte. Above all, it will be the object of the Ed-
itois to encourage the efforts and do justice to
the claims of native genius, and show that the
natural products of our own soil, want but the fa
voring warmth oflocal attention, to render unne
cessary much that is furnished us from abroad.
We invite the contributions of such of our
friends as may be inclined to favor a work like
the one we propose ; and while we determine to
to be rigidly scrupulous in regarding the mate
rials offered us for publication, we promise to ex
ercise 110 undue severny to w hat we may reject,
and to extend the utmost indulgence to the effu
sions of merit.
For the Ladies there shall be a department
where, as a sanctuary, nothing but that which
may properly belong to them shall be permitted
to enter. Erom them we shall expect that favor
ing patronage which, while it provides with the
useful, will, also, be accompanied with so much
of the sweet and grateful, as will give to exertion
and diligence their most seductive reward.
“ The Tablet will be put to Subscribers at

In tl.e pronunciation of a language, utiilora
ty is of gre.it importance, not only as ainatlti <-•
convenience and of taste, ‘iut as a stiongtr betd
of union to the different sections ot the coocir;
that employs it.
The English language has had great diffin"-
ties to contend within this respect, fiom b eia i
mixed and compounded of so many other lan
guages. And as Walker’s s.steni of ortkoeif
has met with very general approbation, and
appears to have accomplished n" ,rt
than any other in redjcing pronuuci-ii '
to a uniformity, whatever will facilitate tbe a--
vancement of that system, must he desirable
I hesitate not to say, that the “ Anaiji «•
Spelling Book” appears to be better suited t'-
any thing I have yet seen, to accomplish '-- 1 '
most desirable result.
(Another, not unimportant, feature of the"' rS
is the omission of the Americanisms that ha ,?
been introduced into other Spelling Books )
With the double advantage, from the bapp?
analogical classification and arrjmgetneot ot ■
words, of facilitating improvement* in both T
thogruphy and orthoepy. I m os (^cheerfully r
commend the work to public patronage.

otherwise. But my firm impression is. that *
teacher well acquainted with it, and bavins b,

in less time, than with any other Spelling Cooii
have ever seen.
