A NDREW’ JACKSON is the Candidate of the People.
But union and concert of action are necessary to

in some degree, the great cause of truth and the people.
If numerous individuals throughout the country, and
the corresponding committees in tho several states,
counties, and townships of the Union, should unite in
giving it circulation, the undersigned will be more than

among the people.
They therefore pfoposc to publish The United States*
Telegraph, Extra, weekly, until the 15th of October
next, for One Dollar, payable, in all cases, in advance.—

election, and will contain official documents, and such
essays, original and selected, as, in the judgment of tho
Editors, will most promote the election of tho Democra
tic Republican candidates, Andrew Jackson and John
C. Calhoun.
Tho United States’ Telegraph, F.xtra will he printed

MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS.
The evils of Taxation.—A British Review
thus enumerates what ho terms in England,
the inevitable consequences of being too fond
of glory.
“ Taxes Upon every article which enters into
the mouth, or covers tho back, or is placed
under the foot—taxes upon every thing which
it is pleasant to see, hear. feel, smell, and tasto
—taxes upon warmth, light, and locomotion—
(axes on every filing on earth, and tho waters
under tho earth—on every thing that comes
from abroad, or is grown at homo—taxes on
the raw material—taxes on every fresh va'uo
tlint is added to it by the industry of man—
taxes on the sauce which pampers man's appe
tite, and the drug which restores him fo health
on the ermino which decorates tho Judge, and
the rope which hangs tho criminal—on tho
poor man’s salt and tho rich man’s spice—oti
the brass nails of tho coffin, and llio ribbands
of the bride—at bed or hoard, couchant nr le
vant. we must pay.—The schoolboy whips his
tnxrt i op—the beardless youth munages his tax
ed horse, with a taxed bridle,ona taxed road:—
and the dying Englishman pour ng his modi-
cino which has paid 7 per cent, into a spoon
that has paid 15 nor cent.—flings himself hack-
into a chintz bed, tvliich has paid 22 per cent.
—makes his will upon an eight pound stamp—
and expires in the arms of an iipotlierary, who
lias paid a license of an hundred pounds for
the priviledge of putting him to death—Hig
whole property is then immediately taxed form
2 to 10 per cent. Besides tho probate, large
fees are demanded for burying him in the chan
cel, his virtues nro handed down to posterity
on taxed marble, and he is then gulhored to his
fathers—to be taxed no more.”
Natural Phenomenon in Cornwall.—In the
Parish of St. Auatel there is a singular pheno
menon ; it is the hppenrance of a light near
the turnpike rodo at Hill Head, about three
quarters of a mile west of the town. In tho
summer season it is rarely seen ; but in tho
wintry weather, particularly in the months of
November and December, scarcely a dark
night passes in which it is not visible. It ap
pears of a yellow line, and seems fo resemMo
a small flame. It is generally stationary ; and
when it movos it wanders hut little from its
primitive spot, sometimes mounting upward,
and then descending to earth. As it has visi-
ted this spot from time immemorial, it is now
rendered so familiar, that it lias almost ceased
to attract attention. It is somewhat rcmarknblo,
that although many attempts have been made
to discover it in tho plnce of its nppcnri.ve,
every effort has hitherto failed of success.—
On approaching the spot, it becomes invisible
to the pursuers, even whilo it remains lumi
nous to those who watch it at a distance. To
trace its exact abode, a level has been taken
during its appearance, by which the curious
have been guided in their researches the ensu
ing day; but nothing has ever been discover
ed.—Exeter Al,
Liverwort—Having published Dr. Here
ford’s account of tho beneficial effocts of the
uso of the Liverwort in what he considered a
confirmed case of consumption,—it is perhaps
proper to publish also tho objections of another
physician to its uso : loaving the truth to the
test of time.—Neie-Ilarniowj Gazelle.
This mcdicino, as described in your Iasi pa
per, has been ushered into the world imfler
auspices highly calculated to attract tho atten
tion of the public. And I should not think I
was discharging my duty, was I to pass in si-
lence tho manner in which those extraordinary
promises are to lie fulfilled, by the use of tho
Liverwort in pulmonary consumption. Tho
medicinal properties of this plant, are slightly
astringent and tonic ; and this point being set
tled. let us sco how far they are applicable to
the disensc under consideration: That the first
stage in consumption (the only One, I believe,
to bo curable,) is inflammatory, no medical
gentleman will deny : and if this stage was to
lie treated with a medicine posessed of tiie
above properties, the physician would hurry his
patient prematurely to tho grave. I then con
sider tho Liverwort particularly injurious io
incipient consumption—1st by neglecting n in-
dicious treatment, the only prospect of sooth
ing, protracting,andperhapscuring tho disc so.
2dly hv using a remedy, tho properties of
which have a tendency to aggravate and con
firm it. For nty part, I never expect to sec
any extraordinary evidence of euro by the uso
of the Liverwort, except, perhaps, in protrac
ted catarrhal affections, attended with debility,
not only of tho lungs, but of the system general-
ly,which by giving tone to the same would do
what any other moderately tonic medicine
could confer; and will venture an opinion, that
the case of euro related by a medical gentle
man, and wfjicb was copied In most papers
