Northern Publishers and their faith
less Promises. —We have been thinking, for
some time, of penning a paragraph showing up
the utter faithlessness of some of the Northern
Publishers in regard to their voluntary pledges
towards those country Editors who have pub
lished their prospectuses, on the promise of an
“ exchange,” or a certain number of copies of
certain published works, in return for the service
thus conferred upon the proprietors. This ex
pose is due not only to those who have faithfully
redeemed all promises made, but to our own con
science, which has for a long time borne the
burden of our silence under repeated injustice of
this character, until we are at length prompted
by its goadings to make a “clean breast of it”
for the benefit of all concerned. So h-re goes :
No. 1. Neal’s Saturday Gazette (Philad.) —
Prospectus published several months, marked
and sent—also Agent notified of the fact. Never
received the first copy.
No. 2. Wellman’s Illustrated Botany, (New
York.) Only a few numbers received. Sub
scribers obtained through our recommendation
cheated out of their numbers.
No. 3. Albany (N. Y.) Cultivator—Exchange
stopped, although Prospectus was published for
months! ,
No. 4. T. C. Clarke, 65 Dock st., Philad.—
Proprietor of the “National Work,” or “Life of
Gen. Taylor,” owes us five copies of said work,
which we have given up the notion of getting.
No. 5. N. Y. Illustrated Magazine —Only a
few numbers received —know not what has be
come of it.
No. 6. Married Woman’s Companion—A. M.
Mauriceau, N. A.
No. 7. Anglo-American—Editorial notice giv.
on months ago, and put on our exchange list by
the Agent himself — last we have heard of it.
On the other hand, we have to make honora
ble mention of the Proprietors of the Southern
and Western Literary Messenger; the N. Y.
Columbian Magazine; the Home Journal; the
Washington Union; the Phila. Saturday Cornier,
[except in the matter of Ind. Cour.—not reed,]
who have acted up to the letter and spirit of
their public pledges and are worthy of all co’nfi
dence in this respect. Os the others we can
only say, “ Procul, oh procul! este profani : ”
hasten to do works meet for repentance, or re
main the fit subjects of all the infamous notorie
ty which your faithlessness merits.
Wasteful Extravagance! —The prodigal
expenditure of the Girard Fund, in building a
palace which it took 14 years or more to erect,
instead of a plain substantial building, according
to the will of the Testator, is well known to every
body. And the end thereof is not yet, judging
from the enormous salaries which are to be paid
to the superintendents and teachers of the Insti
tution, which is shortly to go into operation.
Joseph R. Chandler, Esq. late Editor of the U.
iS. Gazette, xvlio has long been one of the Phila
delphia City Council, at whose door lies the
shameful extravagance of the Girard l*und, has
been elected President of the College or Super
intendent, at a salary of four thousand dollars per
annum ! Other officers have salaries in propor
tion ! The acceptance of such a sum, on the
part of Mr. Chandler, will do much to prove him ;
to be a selfish and avaricious man instead of the |
enlightened and liberal friend of education which j
he has somehow got a reputation for. A person j
of his wealth ought not to allow himself to be
come the pampered beneficiary of a Fund which
should be held sacred to the necessities of the
helpless orphan !
Rich Churches and Dying Heathen.—
One Church in New York having an annual rev
enue of 860,000 can build Church edifices at a
cost of 8300,000 each, while its annual appro
priation for charitable purposes and the propa
gation of the Gospel, is about 81000 per year!
Another Church, without any revenue from pro
perty, has raised within the last year 833,000
for religious purposes ! Did any of these rich
Church people ever hear of one “ meek and low
ly ” Nazarene, who “ had not where to lay his
head ” while a pilgrim in this vale of tears 7 Or
have they heard mention made of a wealthy gen
tleman, of the name of Dives, who flourished
some 1840 years ago 7 It appears to us that
when a religious denomination can become so
worldly as to expend 8300,000 on a house of
worship, that they must have entirely forgotten
the history of the “ Babe of Bethlehem” as well
as overlooked the awful doom which befel a
“certain rich man” in the parable! Certes,
the Saviour of the xvorld would hardly recognize
his humble disciples in the gay throng that con
gregate in such splendid temples, or there dis
cover the devout Pauls and Peters whom he had
commissioned to “ preach his gospel to the
poor"! Alas! we fear that such religionists,
knowing that they cannot, at one and the same
time, “ serve God and mammon,” have thought
it expedieut to offer their more devout worship to
the latter. Such, at least, would appear to be
the fashion of some in the great commercial em
porium of these United States. Verily, they
have their reward.
Lawyers and Witnesses. —lt is the prac
tice of certain of the pettifogging class of Law
yers to brow-beat and abuse witnesses in Court,
whose testimony may not exactly suit them, with
:a view to invalidate their evidence. A case of
ithe kind came ofl’injPhiladelphia lately, wherein
Geo. W. Barton, Esq., most grossly assailed the
character of Harvey J. Smith, a witness in the
case of the Commonwealth vs. A. G. Daniel.
Smith testified of Daniel, that at an interview
he, the witness, had with defendant, the latter
“cried, as ho could whenever he wished to do
so.” For this. Barton called Smith “a young
gentleman of very anti-crocodilc propensities, a
• counter-hopper, a miserable retailer of tapes nnd
bobbins, remnants, shreds and patches,” aye, tho
counsel declared (buttoning up his coat) that “ if
fucli a man should come into his office, he would
button up his pockets, and put an extra guard
upon his watch, the same as he would do in go
ing into the untried department of Moyamen
sing,” &c. Thereupon, Smith demanded a re
traction of the offensive reflections, which being
refused, he gave Lawyer Barton a caning over
the head, in presence of the Court. Judge Par
sons immediately ordered Smith to jail, refusing
all bail although half a million was ready to be
tendered 1
Now here was a case of gross outrage on a
witness, in the presence of the Court, which it
was the business of Judge Parsons to have
punished. Lawyer Barton should have been
stopped at once in his abuse of the witness, or
have been sent to jail. That done, there would
have been by Mr. Smith. But the
Court did not protect the witness and he unlaw
fully and improperly took the law in his own
hands, (if, indeed, there is any law which will
protect witnesses against a Lawyer’s abuse,) and
caned his assailant. Barton’s pate was thus ille
gally, though justly, made to suffer for the im
pertinence of his foul tongue ! And Smith was
imprisoned for the act, without being allowed the
privilege of giving hail. This shows that his
honor Judge Parsons is unfit for the station he
occupies. Ilis sense of dignity not being strong
enough, in the first place, to prevent Barton abu.
sing a witness in his Court, should not so quick
ly have, “gotten upon stilts” as to deny the.privi.
lege of bail to the offender against the majesty
of the Court.
It is intimated that the case will be prosecuted,
in order to test the question, how far a Lawyer
may, with impunity, trespass upon the feelings
and character of a witness. We hope so, be
cause unless there is some reasonable limit set
to the badgering and bullying of witnesses, on
the part of Lawyers, one of two things is inevi
table : decent men will not, except per force, go
into a Court room to testify, or else, they will
have to do as Smith did—take the responsibility
of caning such Lawyers as are guilty of defam
ing their characters. These jemarks do not
very particularly apply to our Courts and Law
yers, for they are, generally, gentlemen who
practice the legal profession amongst us, hut oc
casional abuses, of the kind noted, do happen,
which are “more honored in the breach than the
observance.” Therefore it is that we have writ
ten what wo have written, by way of warning,
reproof and instruction in righteousness, to a
class that are, proverbially, a stiff-necked and
perverse generation of men.
The New Engine. —We have been shown a
letter just received by Mr. Ruse from our towns
man, Capt. H. T. Hall, now in New York,
.from which we learn that Capt. 11. has contract
ed with Mr. James Smilh, of that city, for anew
Fire Engine of the following description :
8] inch cylinder, 9.j inch stroke, working 26
men, and throwing two streams from the box. —
She is to suck her own water and play through
1000 feet of hose, on any 3 story house in New
York, or two streams through 500 feet hose,
each, the same elevation ; or one 1 inch stream
with 100 feet hose to an elevation of 120 feet.
The cost of the Engine, complete, will be about
81,000, and that amount of money can probably
be raised from the citizens—Bßoo being already
in hand.
In addition, there is wanted 8500 for the pur
chase of Hose and other equipments. This a
mount, it is suggested, ought to be paid by the
city and county, inasmuch as that sum can be
annually saved to the county, by rescuing taxa
ble property from conflagration. The interest ;
the county thus has in this matter, as well as in
the greater security of public property, from :?
well appointed Fire Apparatus, will, we trust, in
duce the Judges of our Inferior Court to aid in
in the manner suggested. Out of some 812,000
of taxes collected for State and County purposes, f
from the city alone, surely the pittance-of 85Rw
can easily he spared for this important purr yeses’
N. B.—The following is a graphic desc/rp
tion of the new Engine, ala Bon,:cry, hr O/W.
It of course is to he taken cum grknn sails: t
“ She’s moddled after 22, with a patent refrigerator,
and can throw water 11,000 feet over the Croton ohm
—runs on elastic patent goose grease spiral springs,
can boat 42. and wash away all the small machines in
a big fire. She is 72 inch cylinder, 150 feet stroke,
1000 horse-power, and her captain is one of the
bo’hoys.”
A W ord of Approval. —Several new sub- I
scribers have lately added their names to our
list, by way of approval of our course, touching
the recent case of Lynching in this city, more
than making up any deficiency arising from the
dissatisfaction of one or two old subscribers from
the same cause. In addition, we have received
the following letter from a gentleman in Eufaula,
Ala. which exhibits so just appreciation of what
the public sentiment ought to be on the duties of
the Press, that we must be excused for laying it
before our readers:
Eufaula, Ala. July 10, 1847.
Dr. Andrews —Dear Sir: Passing the store of a
friend, a few moments ago, I took up the Muscogee
Democrat, and on looking over its columns in haste,
my eye fell upon an article headed “ without excuse,”
in which you comment, very justly, upon the conduct
of certain gentlemen, (heaven save the mark ‘.) one of
whom I see, has in consequence of your course in
making public their ignoble and reckless conduct, I
stopped the Democrat. Now I hope the virtuous anil j
law-abiding will not suffer you to lose any thing by
the manly and independent course you have taken, i
in relation to such transactions. You will therefore |
please send me your paper and consider me one of
your subscribers.
Respectfully yours, &c. z. t. and.
“Quick Stkp.” —Mr. Reps has laid upon our ;

Director of the Philharmonic Society, Columbus

just published by his brother \V. G. Bonner Esq.
Civil Engineer of Milledgeville, under the direction
and patronage of his Excellency, Governor Crawford.
The Map is elegantly engraved and handsomely
mounted and is embellished with accurate views of
the State House, Executive Mansion, and cities of
Savannah, Macon, Augusta and Columbus. It i
drawn on a scale of 6 miles to the inch and is 5 feet
long by 4 feet and 8 inches in width. The lines o.
the various Railroads in existence and in contempla
tion are plainly laid down and tho metes and hounds
of the new counties in the N. W. part of tho State
correctly delineated. On the whole, it is a benutifu
and useful article which should adorn the parlor of
every Georgian, who is able to afford the trifling ex
pense incident to its purchase. We understand that
those who desire a copy will have to signify the same j
by subscribing therefor immediately as no more co-1

A great Desideratum in Medicine.
A I.iqno C ATHARTIC.
The Vegetable Restorative,
OR
LIQUID CATHARTIC.
THIS Medicine is agreeable to take and ope
rates without griping or debilitating.
It is highly corrective and alterative in its effects,
producing consistent evacuations and thereby leaving
the bowels in a natural and good condition ; and be
j cause of this property in its combination, it does not
i wear out like other cathartics, particularly such as the
] most of Pills, many of which invariably produce co
! pious and watery discharges, and leave the bowels in
’ a constipated state.
Not so with ibis Medicine—it is a natural remedy, acting
. with nature, aiding, not forcing her in the pciformanee of
her functions—hence for INDIGESTION or DYSPEP
; SI A, it is highly valuable. It can be taken, with perfect
- safety, by the niost delicate and enfeebled persons, cliil*
1 dren, or others. On account of its mildness, convenience,
i and efficacy, it is destined to become, in public estimation,
i what it has proved to he in private practice, a FAMILY or
DOMESTIC MEDICINE, suited to all derangements of
the Stomach, and valuable whenever u Cathartic or Ape
rient is needed.
Persons who have lone: been compelled to take Pills.
Oi/s, or Salts, will find in this a pleasant and highly valu
able substitute.
It is not intended as a remedy for all diseases that Flesh
is heir to—but particularly for LIVER and STOMACH
DERANC4EMENTS, which may be know n by some or all
of the following symptoms:—
Want of Ajrpetite, Heart Hum, Costiveness, Flatulence ,
Colic, Oppression at the Stomach, Distention of the Stom
ach, particularly after taking a small quantity of food;
Restlessness at night, day colored evacuations from the
Dowels, countenance of a dull white, or yellow hue.
O’ A small quantity of this Medicine taken daily, gen
erally regulates the bowels in a short time.
