OS HEARING THAT A FRIEND nAO VIOLATED
The Temperance Pledge.
Ah 1 Willie, WJ; I'm unco shocked
To hear how folk o’ late hae talkeJ,
That yc voor h»!y eanse hae mocked,
To sign the pledge :
An' hock main sae soon yc staikcJ,
To ruin's edge. I
The news seems maist like yonder hell,
As echoing o’er moor an’ dell,
It sounds the last departing knell,
O' a ea«l that’s flown,
An’ left this weary war! to dwell
'Mang war's unknown.
Jt gies me moekle grief to h -ar it,
That ye hae no' the mind to bear it:
But maun if yc perchance come near it,
Y'ct drink voor fill
O' ruin’s swats, as rum an’ claret,
Or biUcr yiil.
But, Willie, that i* yourcoursc,
Stans yon dread monster, stern remorse,
An’ just ayont, what's muckle worse,
(O prospect drear,)
Frail, erring man, thy greatest curse,
A conscience scar.
An’ think o’ her ye ante did swear
To cherish, an’ to love sincere,
If ye were bless’d wi’ muckle gear,
Or nanc at a’,
Yes, think that she maun wi’ you share,
Ilk rise an’ fa’.
An’ also think how folk will talk,
That ye vour goodly cause maun balk,
An’ yc yoursel’, may be a stock,
For many a jest;
Yc wha should stan’ like ony rock,
’Mang a’ the rest.
An’ then, my .frien’, yc maun agree,
’Tis little short o’ perjury,
For ane to pleJge sac solemnly,
A sacred vow,
An’ then to gang sac far agley,
As yo arc now.
An’—hand yere finger, madamc Scorn,
Your cursed tants will na’ be borne ;
There’s hope that Willie yet will turn,
Fra’ yonder way;
And duly o’er his folly mourn ;
fled grant ho may !

Leitrre on Thoroush Draining and Sub Soi
Ploughing.
BY E. SMITH, Esa, DEtN I TON, ENG.'. IN D.
Hy Hie arrival of the last Cunard
steamship, we received our regular files
of the Mark-Lane express. We find in
them various articles of agricultural in
telligenco, some of which will be instruc
ting to agriculturists on this side of the
Atlantic. We have been somewhat in
terested in a lecture delivered by E.
Smith, Esip, of Dcanstou, on Thorough
Draining and Subsoil Ploughing, before
the Richmondshire Agricultural Associ
ation.
Importance of Draining the Water
from the Sub soil as well as • the
surface.
Until within the last twenty years,
says Mr. Smith, the attention of persons
desiring to drain tfft land was principally
directed to the removal of springing wa
ter, bursting out in various parts, especi
ally in high ground, as in flowing over a
considerable portion of land, it became
wet and was rendered unfit for agricul
tural purposes, lie (Mr. Smith) would
obstf-ve that a dry condition of the soil
was the most important condition desi
rable, because, without a dry soil,it was im
possible either to work it with advantage
—to have the pro[»er advantage of the
manure, or to have any successful results
as regarded the crops. Land which had
been termed dry, in some parts of the
country, had been found not to be in that
condition, and the attention of cultiva
tors had been directed to water springing
from underneath. The cure for that
was digging to the spring, cutting it off,
and having the water carried away by a
drain. The application of that principle,
however, was but partial, and did not at
all apply to that sort of land composed
principally of strong tillage. In refer
ence to that land, the surface of which
did not suffer so much from water rising
to the surface, the rain which fell upon it
must find its way somewhere. Agricul
turists had been led to give their land a
rounded form and to make water furrows
for the purpose of taking off the rain-wa
ter by the surface, but it was quite clear
thatchannels formed on the surface could
not carry off the water thus generated,
except that water was above the level in
running on the surface. But it was very
essential and necessary that the water
should not only be taken from the sur
face, but also be taken from the land to a
considerable depth. With that view, the
principle of “furrow draining,” as it was
first called, but now known by the name
of“ thorough draining,” was introduced,
ond it depended on that leading princi
ple to place the channels sufficiently near
each other as to have the effect of carry
ing off the water which falls on the soil.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
CONGRESSIOXAL MADISOXIAN.
THE approaching session of Congress will,
doubtles, be the most important one, in many
respects, in the annals of American politics. The
occurrences will be interesting to every citizen,
and we shall make extensive arrangements to
spread before our readers the earliest, most elabo
rate, and most correct accounts of every thing that
transpires at the capital. The proceedings of Con
gress will be minutely attended to, and speeches
delivered in both Houses given at length.
The approaching Congress will ditfer in many re
spects from any other ever convened. The Execu
tive will be firm and just, and yet courteous and
conciliatory to all the parties that compose the Con
gress, so that in the political conflicts, which may be
anticipated, the PEOPLE'S interests may not be
altogether neglected. One party will hax e the as
cendancy in the Senate—the other in the House,
while the President will strive, in behalf of the
country, to harmonize their legislative action.
Congress will find that, under the present Execu
tive, the revenues being in responsible hands, no
defalcations have occurred, and that the agents, en
trusted with the public funds, have merited the con
fidence of both parties. It will find a tariff some
what imperfect, and differing from the one recom
mended by Mr. Tyler, passed in the House by the
casting votes of twenty-one Democrats — thirty-Jire
Clay xvhigs voting against it; while in the Senate
four or five Democrats voted for it, and twice that
number of Whigs against it. It will find that the
currency of the country is in a sounder condition
than it lias been for twenty years, and that too with
out a Bank, or any thing of a kindred nature ; while
the five millions of Treasury notes authorized to be
issued bearing six per cent., are taken by the Gov
ernment creditors without any interest at all. Jt will
find demagogues and political managers busy cheat
ing the People as usual, preaching distribution, as
sumptinn of slate debts, hank, &c. But they can
never make much progress while Mr. Tyler is Pres
ident. All these exciting subjects will be agitated
for the benefit of Presidential aspirants.
At such a time, it is necessary that the ciiizens in
every section of the Union should know what is
done by their representatives, and be acquainted
with the import and design of the debates and move
ments in Congress. The session will no doubt he
lone, as well as intensely exciting, and hence the in
ducement to subscribe for the Madisonian by the year.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
CHEROKEE ADVOCATE.
THE undersigned,at the solicitation of many friends
proposes to publish, in the village of Marietta, Cobh
County Georgia, a weekly newspaper under the above
title. He is assured that a well conducted newspaper
is much wanted in this region,and so tar ns his humble
efforts will go, should he meet with encouragement,
the Advocate shall add to the reputation of the Chero
kee Country, affording as it does, the most sa uhrious
clime, with a fertile and produciive soil, not surpassed
in the Union.
The Advocate will be decided in its poli ics, while at
the same time due res iect will be paid to the opinions
of those who may diff r with us. Be ieving in a strict
construction of the L onsiilu'.on, as the only sure guar
antee to the Instituyous of the South, and of the two
great parties now before the country, that the Demo
cratic Partv, with John . Calhoun at its head, is the
one on which to look lor the carrying out those princi
pies, the Advocate will support Ihe principles of that
Partv, and the man, whoever he may be, selected by
the National Convention to carry out its principles.
Agriculture —that most impi riant branch of industry,
will not be neglected in the paces pf the Advocate.
To this branch we shall devote much attention, and in
addition, to such selected articles, as may he of interest
to this section, we will endeaver to procure the assis
tance of the larmcrs in Western • .eorgia, who, by giv
ing their own experience and mode of cultuie, vviil
bring forward others,and iliusall reap a benefit.
The Advocate may also be looked to for such items
of news as we may receive from different sections of
the country, anti a portion of its pages will be devoted
to light reading. It will be an object of the undersigned
to make the Advocate such a paper as every subscriber
will feel a pleasure in perusing himself, attain placing
before bis family, and when Ins year expires, renew his
subscription with a stnile on his countenance
The Advocate will he printed on an Imperial sheet
with new type, press, &c. at Three Dollars per an
num, in advance—no subscription will be taken for
less than a year. Advertisements «i!l be inserted at
One Dollar per square of twelve lines for the first inser
tion, and Seventy-five Cents for each subsequent one —
legal Advertisements will he inserted at the usual rates.
Job Printing of every description will be executed with
neatness and despatch.

THE PETERSBURG REPUBLICAN.
Believing the present to be a crisis too important to
the interests of the democratic party to allow any press
devoted toils cause to sink for want ts support, the
subscriber lias, at the instance of many friends, con
sented to assume the editorial guidance of the I eters
burg Republican.
Recognizing in the late temporary defeat of D moc
racy the necessity of recurrence for future success to
he fundamental principles of States’ Rights, and their
strict application to all Federal issues. The Republi
can wili neither in itself exhibit laxity of political fault,
nor tolerate its indulge.,ce in others, but wiil undevin
tingly adhere to the noble principles, as admirably em
bodied by one of our distinguished Statesmen—‘Free
trade; low duties ;no debt; seperation front Banks;
economy; retrenchment; and strict adherance to the
Constitution.*'
The successful maintenance} and permanent estab
lishment of this wise and just system of measures must
greatly depend on the judicious selection of the I 'etno
cratic candidate for the next Presidency, and believing
the amplest guarantee of these important ends to he
afforded by the eminent abilities and unsullied faiih of
JOHN C. CALHOUN,the Republican will advocate
his claims to the nomination of the National Conven
tion. These claims will be enforced with due respect
to the preferences of others, and the cordial support of
this press will he given to the Nominee of a Conven
tion so assembled as to he general, and so constituted
as to give a clear expression to the will of the majority.
The Petersburg Republican will, as heretofore, he
published three times a weeK, at Five Dollars pet an
num, aiwa vs payable in advance.
The subset.her will assume its control on the third
Monday in June, urnil which time all communications
will he addressed to hitn (post paid) Richmoi and.

John C. Calhoun “Free Trade; Low Duties; No

will bear aloft his truly Democratic banner. It will al
so strongly advocate the limitation ol the tenure of the
Presidential office tocne term—not only in justice to
to distinguished public men of (lie nation, but as more
consonant to the genius of our Republican institutions
and more conducive to a faithful and independent ad
ministration of the Government.
As ihc most direct and effective mode of securing
the permanent ascendancy of these cardinal princi

The lime has arrived, when, it has become neces
sary for the Friends of Free Trade to unite in sus
taining their cause.
The commercial community and agricultural pop
ulation of the country, have been subjected to the
operJtion of an unequai and unjust Tariff Law. A
law, admitted by its framers and advocates, to have
been hastily devised and hurriedly acted tin, forced
through Congress at the close of an extra session,
and adopted by a single casting vote. A law, which
makes forced loans from importers, in the way of
cash duties, amounting on an average to 30 per cent,
of their capital. A law, which by heavily taxing ma
terials used iu ship building, being equal to $5 per
ton, which, ou a vessel of 600 tons, amounts to the
enormous sum of 83,500 is driving our ships from the
foreign carrying trade. Foreign and cheaper built
vessels monopolize to a great extent, the business
which was formerly done by our ships.
The friends of Free Trade, contend that justice to
the Merchants, Ship Builders, and Ship Owners, and
to the Farmers of the country, demands an immedi
ate modification of ibis oppressive Tariff Law. They
contend, that, the Agricultural and Commercial in
terests of the United States arc indissolubly united.
That, the prosperity and extension of trade and com
merce, necessarily promotes the extension and pros
perity of agriculture.
They believe tlie power granted to Congress by
the Constitution, to regulate commerce, was not in
tended to be used for its destruction.
They believe it bad policy for the go- arn icnt, in
time of profound peace, under pretence o, passing a
revenue bill, to pass a bill destroying revenue, and
then borrow money with which to carry on the gov
ernment, and at the same time laying the foundation
of a largo public debt.
They believe a crisis has been reached in the af
fairs of the country, when these measures must be
met, resisted and ovcicome, by the united and effi
cient action of the friends of free trade.
From the signs of the limes, should the advocates
of am tcrcial restriction and unequal taxation, suc
cct o iu electing their candidate for tlie Presidency,
the disastrous result will be, that xve shall have the
severe grievances of which we justly complain, fas
tened upon us as the permanent policy of the coun
try.
To avoid an event fraught with such evil conse
quences, it behooves us to unite with others in the
support of a Free Trade Candidate for the Presiden
cy. The time for action is short. In a few more
months, an individual may be selected, as President,
whose opinions, power and influence, might be lcar
fully exerted against us. Or one, whose views, lad
ings and opinions coincide with our own.
Something should be done. At tbe present time,
the Press of this city occupies a position unfavorable
to the success of our cause. The necessity for a
new paper is evident, from the fact that at present,
none of the papers of this city advocate to the full
extent, and with sufficient energy and zeal, the prin
ciples for which »e contend.
A paper of this character seems at the present
juncture indispensable. It should be in its ends and
aims, essentially a Free Trade paper; a ,and at the same
time, advocate the claims to office, of men in whose
undisguised principles, we might place the most iim
plicit confidence.
A Committee of Free Trade Gentlemen, have
been organized to solicit subscriptions from persons
disposed to contribute means, towards starring in this
city, as soon as practicable, anew Comercfal ami
Free Trade paper, with the intention, at the same
time of lending its honest and fair support for the
Presidency, to the candidate v hose opinions are well
known to be favorable to a liberal Commercial policy.
Writers of acknowledged a ility, zeal and indus
try, will have charge of the Editorial columns.
Talents of the highest order will be ensraged to
take charge of the respective Departments of the
paper.
The state of the Money Market, with Reports of
Banks, Incorporated Joint Stock Companies, Procee
dings of Congress, and of State Legislatures, in re
lation to all financial affairs, with regular tables of
Exchange Domestic ai;<l Foreign, combined with
general groupings of all monetary movements laking
place in all parts of the civilized world, will form a
permanent feature of the pape.
Another department of the paper will be deveted
to information concerning the state of the principal
Markets of the world for Agricultural products. Cor
respondence will also he established with the farm
ing and plaiting districts of the interior, in order to
obtain the latest news of the extent and prospects of
the growing crops.

This is to certify, that I have been afflicted wiih
Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complain!
and Costiveness for the last eight or nine years, din
ring which time I had taken, as well as I recollet!
about sixty boxes of Beckwith’s Pills, twelve boxes
of Peters’Pills, and a number of boxes of Champion’s
and Brandreth’s Pills, all of which afforded me but
little or no relief. At last, I was recommended i„
try Dr. Spencer’s Vegetable Pills, and well I did; f uf
Incvcr had but one attack of the Sick Headache «f.
ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about sit
months) and I candidly confess, that I have derived
more real benefit from the use of Spencer’s Pill
than from all the other Medicines and Pills hill
have ever taken, and I would earnestly rccointi e
them to ai l, as being ill my opinion, the best n «dj.
ctiie in use for all lingering complaint'. Th- Pill,
have done me so much good, that I w uld aotfed
willing to be without them for five dollars a box; and
I cannot but feel very grateful to Dr. Spcncerfor
having prepared such a valuable medicine, and tbe
distribution of it is conferring a very great favor on
the public, as it is a thing of the utmost importance
that every family should have a supply of D,-. Spen
cer’s truly valuable Pills constantly on hand.
