PROPOSALS For publishing once a week, from the 1st of March until the Ibth October, for One Dollar, The U. S. Telegraph—Extra. A NDREW’ JACKSON is the Candidate of the People. But union and concert of action are necessary to 9ucccBR. The organized efforts of the administration are fitted for effect, and vigorous exertions arc required to counteract them. In aid of such oxertions, the un dersigned have been advised to issue a Weekly Paper, on terms that will enable thorn merely to defray the ex pense of publication.—Located at the Seat of Govern ment, having access to the public libraries, and the command of official documents, possessing already a large share of public confidence, and the advantages of a central position and extensive correspondence, they may aver that in issuing such publication, they can aid, 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 compensated for the labor that will devolve on them bv the facility which it will afford for disseminating truth 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.— This paper will be devoted exclusively to the Presidential 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 in a pamphlet form and stitched, to render it more con venient for circulation. Tho first number w ill appear about the first of March.

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
