H We would call Attention to the following extract
■from the address of the Democratic Committee for
Hthe comity of Columbiana, in Ohio. The extract
Hhas particular reference to the outcry of tlie Feds
■ against the militia scheme of the Secretary of War,
■ plainly showing it to hi' another attempt on their
■ part to delude the people hy a senseless clamor.
V We would advise those Whig editors, who have been
Iso wonderfully industrious in mating this “panic,”
• to examine the course of their own idol, W. H. Ilar
f rison, with regard to this same subject, Let them
read his letters to Gen. Scott, to which reference is
made in this address ; and when they shall find their
‘certificate hero" warmly advocating, as iato as 184*1,
scheme putting the militia upon a footing of vast
ly more expense, and of great r inconvenience to
ne people, than that now recommended by the Se
cretary of War, we are in hopes they will cease
Vheir clamor about the “standing army." Ifj how
'ver, they are sincere in their opposition to Mr.
I’oinsett’s recommendation, for which no one gives
hem,credit, wo shall expect them to give their “he
ro” hi* share of the abuse of which they have been
so prodigal in the case of the .Secretary; partien
-1 irlv when they find that the General would have
1 111),000 men in the field, instead of 2.3,000, and that
he would have them under arms five weeks, instead
of ten or twelve days, as recommended by the Se
•retary, which features were most odious in the
sight of these patriotic men, when the reconinienda
ion came from Mr. Poinsett, hut which will lose all
heir enormity, though still more prominent, when
sanctioned by their candidate for the Presidency.
It is indeed most surprising to us that \ irgini ins,
nf whatever polities they may he, should object to
have their own youth trained to the use of arms.
We feel almost inclined to believe that those who
do object to having arms placed in their hands, would
be ready at any time to throw themselves in the
arms of Mr. Slade, on the t this which he held out
i i his late speech, which was to this effect : that if
the slaves of the South should break out into an in- ,
correction, and th >. North should he called upon to
assist in quelling th 'in, that she (the North) would
have a right to demand the emancipation of the
slaves as thepn ;e of her assistance.
“Another subject which demands onr notice, and
» r hich for the last six months lias been the theme of !
Federal denunciation and patriotic horror, arises
out of the proposition of the {Secretary of W ar, Mr. *
Poinsett, that Congress should provide Cor the more
; deetual organization of the militia. The political i
press of the Federal party and their political inis-'
t nonaries are alarm d at th ' proposition of organiz
iig 20d,000 mm. drilling one half of the number ton
days in each year at the public expense, and fur
nishing th 'in with arms. W bother such a proposi
•oii is serious ground of alarm, an intelligent com
uunitv will d'termin '. Certain it is, however, that
•when the liberties of the English people were viti
ated, and the rights of a monarchy more thorough
v enforced, these ends were brought about nor by
inning the people and teaching ti em ten days out
if every lino the art of war, hut hy enacting laws mi
-r the pretence of protecting game, by which it
us made pen: 1 for the yeomanry to possess a gun.
i'he present proposition has been likened to that of
•\upoleon for raising soldi -i s. The great difference
I „ tween them is that in France troops and supplies
ere levied by the edict of an emperor and lor con
• piest; in the Dinted States the reorganization of
L>i, e militia is olficted and regulated by the wishes of j
• ie representatives themselves, lint is it politic for I
'lends of General Harrison to object to such a pro
motion ? The r'cord of the House of Renrescn
j Ives of the Unit 'd States show that Gen. Harrison,
i 1817, concluded a report from the Committee on
lilitarv Affairs with the following resolution :
ui Resolved, That the Secretary of W ar he reqnir
d to prepare, and lay before this lions ', at the next
ession of Congress, a plan for the Military instrnc i
■mi of nil the youth in the United tit ties, in the
av which is best calculated for the purpose, with
■ s little injury as possible to the ordinary course of
dneation.’
“Hut this same subject was urged upon the ntten
on of Congress by General Washington himself.
Ir. Jefferson proposed the raising and disciplining
f three hundred thousand men. Mr. Madison said
-‘give me leave to say that the only way to provide
gainst standing armies, is to make them nnnecessa-
The way to do this, is to organize and discip
;ne our militia, so as to render them capable of de
luding the country against external invasions
nd internal insurrections.’ General Jackson, too,
-eqnently adverted to this subject and invoked the
'gislation of Congress upon it. But, as with the
uestion of a United Stales Bank, we have a sanc
on for the measure proposed by the Administration,
Inch will he admitted by Federalists to be of more
hiding authority and importance, than the recom
lendation of all the Presidents to whom we have
inferred. That sanction will he found in the follow
f.g extract of a letter written by Major General
tWUliam Henry Harrison, in reply to an invitation
l oin the Louisville Legion, to be present at the cel-
I bration of the 22d of February. It is dated, ‘North
tend. Feb. 3d, 1840,’ and read as follows :
“*lt may perhaps lie unknown to you, gentlemen,
mt the formation of such corps as yours upon an
xtensive scale throughout the Union, has long been
favorite project ot mine. So long ago as the year
HIO I endeavored to call the attention of the nation
?l a the subject, in a series of letters addressed to the
euerable revolutionary soldier and patriot, General
"harles Scott, at that time Governor of Kentucky,

amps of discipline, in which the select corps of the

■ Ire not the opinions in the Roman and Grecian
Senates, when Rome and Greece were free, nor in

the immortal William Pitt, (the elder,) nor of our
own Washington and Jefferson. Will the citizens
who are enrolled as the defenders of their country
longer suffer under this gross neglect/ Will they
longer tolerate such a militia system, (if system it
i can he called,) and such a pension system, devoid of
i every feature of justice and every principle of Re
-1 nublicanism?’ JOHN ARMSTRONG,

[From the X. Y. Evening Post.]
We were lately i.i conversation with an intelligent
1 farmer from oi. of the counties of the interior, wlien
the low price of g: in was mentioned, and the at
tempt-1 of certain partisan presses to throw the blame
upon the administration.
“Von greatly mistake,” said our friend, “if you
suppose tiie farmers do not understand that question.
They arc not such inattentive observers of events, or
so unskilful in drawing conclusions as you city po
liticians sometimes suppose. Do not, i pray you,
pay them so had a compliment as to imagine that in
, so clear a matter it is possible for them to go wrong,
i “The farmers know very well that the enormous
: expansions of paper money, of which the example
was set hy the Bank of the United States, were tol- j
lowed by a general nominal increase of prices, which |
readied the products of agriculture as well as every j
thing else. They know that this increase of prices j
awakened and stimulated speculation, they know j
j that hundreds of persons borrowed enormous sums j
I of money from the banks to speculate in grain of
which they laid up immense stores, expecting a still |
j further advance of price. They know that out of
| these speculations there grew such a scarcity and
d arness of bread stalls and other articles of vegeta
ble liiod, that we were obliged to import wheat and
potatoes from Europe lor our own consumption,
t hey saw that when the embarrassments of 1837
overtook onr commerce, the price ol grain continuing
: as high as ever, our people began to pay a more di
ligent attention toils cultivation, and lands which
bad hitherto remained neglected were broken up
j with the plough and strown with seed. Have you
forgotten the famous meeting of the farmers of Uu
| tario county, in the year Jd37, an account of which
was given in your own columns, at which on a re
■ view of the somewhat unlucky result of their own
i speculations in land, they concluded to turn them to
tiie hestacconnt hy taking advantage of the favorable
j market, and devoting the acres they had purchased
I to the cultivation of wheat/
“Tiie farmers know also that when high prices,and
fruitful seasons had produced their effect, and filled
i their to bursting, the speculators unable
to realize their expectations of profit, were obliged
| to throw the stores into the market —that abundance
was thus add *d to abundance, and that the price of
j grain has necessarily fallen. They know also that
| there is no foreign market to take off what we cannot
consume—they understand that wheat is scarce in
England, yet that its hud quality rendered it com
paratively cheap, so that it cannot lie entered vvitii
i out the payment of heavy duties—they understand
I also tint in France there are riots on account of the
• d *arness of broad, hut they know that France has
also its corn laws, in some respects more absurd than
those of England, since grain and Horn are subjected
| t > heavier duties in some districts of the country
than in others. Tims they see that the intentions
of Providence which created the earth with such a
variety of soils and climates that each might supply
; the rest with what it can produce in the greatest
cheapness and abundance, has been frustrated by the
folly of home legislation.
1 “The fanners in the country saw the mercantile
class in th : towns, two or three years since, in a state
of vehement exasperation against the administration,
because it refused to connect itselfwitii Mr. Biddte’s
i hank. To that refusal the merchants ascribed ail
the embarrassments and calamities which came upon
our commerce. When, however, they saw that very
hank pursuing a course which added to the mischief
and confusion, when they beheld it interfering with
! privet • out 'rprisehy its enormous speculations, when
t icy found it borrowing millions hy the issue of its
post notes, when they saw it at last stopping pay
j ment in helpless insolvency, many of them began to
think that they had committed a mistake, and that
tiie administration was not so much to blame as they
i had been led to suppose. They began to suspect
that tbs United States Bank was more in limit than
the administration. True it is that numbers of them
who have undergone this change of opinion still re
main in the whig parly, but it is more from habit
} than correctness.
“Do not suppose that the farmers who are not so
hasty in jumping at a conclusion as the merchants,
I who form their opinions with more calmness and re
flection, arc about to take up an exploded absurdity
which the merchants themselves arc ashamed of.—
They understand the history of the American trade
in grain; the events of which I speak have taken
place under their immediate observation, and they
are not to he driven from their conclusions hy a false
1 and senseless outcry, be it repeated as often as it
may.”
Such is the substance of our friend’s remarks, and
from what we know of the farming population, and
we can boast of’ having known them well in our time,
j we have little doubt of the truth of his ropresenta
tion.
[From the St. Augustine Herald.]
PHENOMENA.
Some of the ponds and lakes arc drying up, or
rather running off. About 18 months since, we nn- j
derstand the water in Tuscan-ilia lake in Alachua j
county ran off", and is now completely dry. It was
said by those who saw it, that there was a strong
current running towards the centre, and it was de
scribed as similar to the emptying of a funnel.
Since then, we have heard that the Orange fake
is running ofl in a similar manner. A gentleman
who saw it a few weeks since, informed us that
about ten thousand acres had been completely
drained. Not more than about 2 feet of water re
mained in the lake.
The theories in explanation of these phenomena
are:—That the obstructions in the subterranean
streams, with which these lakes have communication
have, from some cause, become remov ed, and allow
n free passage to the water, or, that the crust of
limestone has broken through and let it off. The
spot where the Orange Lake was running into, ap
peared newly broken.

tSL scriher oilers for sale, one of the most desirable im
proved PLANTATIONS in the county of Macon, Ala., on
which he now resides—situated about 35 miles southeast
from Montgomery, 18 miles southwest from Tuskegee,
within 20 miles of the Montgomery and West Point Rail
Road.
The settlement comprises upwards of 2090 acres of the
best Cotton and Corn fund, about 000 of which is cleared
and under trood fences; all useful buildings, such as negro
Houses, Cribs, two Gin Houses, and two Screws. The dif
ficulty of procuring eligible situations for a comfortable j
residence for families, and fine well and springfree stone |
water, on tiie prairies; is generally known—but this srtua- \
tion presents almost an isolated exception to this difficulty', |
as there arc three permanent wells, and two springs of ex- i
cellent free stone water, and a sail I hill rises in the inime- j
diate \ icinity of this fine body of laud, forming an area of ;
thirty acres or more, on which elevation a comfortable !
Dwelling House, and all the necessary outbuilding are sit- ;
uated, near the spring and well. Also, a level and spacious
vegetable flower garden, and an orchard cultivated with
great labor and taste for the past six years,containing every
variety of fruit trees.
The pi mtation is well calculated for two settlements, as
the wells of water are f ir enough apart.
Persons wishing a settlement, combining more advan
tages than any other in the county, are invited to call and
examine the premises, as 1 am determined to sell, and am
prepared to make thn terms so reasonable that an approved ■

I’HEIR tK F KClTS.—Price reduced to Twenty-live
cents per box.—A vegetable and universal Medicine, proved
j by experience of thousands to be, » hen properly persever
ed with, a cur vain cure iu every form of tho only one dis
ease, all hat imr tue same origin, and invariably arise from
the cmv eksal root of all disease, namely, IMPURITY or
I.M PER I’El'T circulation of the BLOOD.
In a period of little more than three years iu the United
i States, they have restored to a state of health aud enjoy
ment, over ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND persona, who
\\ ere given over us incurable by Physicians of the first rank
; and standing, and in many cases where et ery other remedy
j had been resorted to in vain.
la all cases of Pain or W eakness, w hether if be chronic
I or recent, whether it be deafness »i pain in the side, wheth
! enlbo from constitutional or someiuimediatecauss, wheth
! er it be from internal or external injury, it w ill bo cured bv
1 persevering in the use of these PILLS.
The great principle of “PURGING” is beginning to be
appreciated, it is found much more convenient to take an
occasional dose of half a dozen Pills, and be always wellp
than to send for a Doctor and be bled, blistered, and saliva
ted, with tiio certainty that if you arc not killed, you will
be .-lire to have months of miserable weakness, and the only
one who is benelittcd is your Doctor. Look at the differ
ence between the appearance of those two persons—one
has beentreated by yoarregul ir practitioner—see how pale
and debilitated he is; see how the shadow of death throws
his solitary glance from ins emaciated countenance; see
how he trembles in every limb; his eyes sunk; iiisteeth de
stroyed; his constitution, perhaps, irrecoverably gone—
yet, just hear how he arrogates to himselfcredit. He says,
“most inveterate case ofliver compl tint”—“nothing but the
most energetic remedies saved him.” Energetic measures!
i. e. Mercury and Bleeding ruined liis constitution, better
say. So to save life you must Ii ilfpoison with that comfort
er of the teeth and gums—.MEßCUßY—and positively
make a man miserable the sad remainder of his existence—
this is called curing. Shocking folly.
Lei us now look at your“pnrged” man—the man who has
taken Brandreth’s Piils for Lit er Complaint—he has tho
firm elastic tread ofconscions strength: his countenance is
clear and serene; his eye is full and sparkling, with tho
feeling of new life and animation; he has been confined a
few days to his bed, but he used nothing but the TRUE
BRANDRETH’S PILLS, and soon rose without any inju
ry being sustained by his constitution. Instead of being for
months in a w eak state, he will be stronger after he haa en
tirely recovered from the attack, because his blood and flu
ids have become purified, and having purged away the old
and impure fluids, the solids are thereby renovated, and ho
is not borne down by useless particles, but has renewed his
life and body both.
The principle of purging with Brandreth’s Pills, removes
nothing but the us dess and decayed particles from the body
—the morbid and corrupt humors of the blood—those hu
mors w Inch cause disease—they impede the functions of
the liver when they' settle upon the, muscles, produce rheu
inatism; or, upon the nerves, produce gout; or, upon the
lungs, produce consumption; or, upon the intestines, cos
tiveness; or,upon the lining of the blood vessels, apoplexy
and paralysis, and all the train of disorders so melancholy
to the sufferer aud all who behold them.
Yes,purging these humors from the body is the true cure
for all these complaints, and every other form of disease;
this is no mere assertion, it is a demonstrable truth, and
eacli day it is extending itself; far and wide it is becoming
known and more and more appreciated.
The cure by purgingmay more depend upon the laws
which produce sweetness or purity, than may be generally
imagined. Whatever tends to stagnate will produce sick
ness, because it tends to putrefaction; therefore, the neces
sity of constant exercise is seen.
When constant exercise cannot be used FROM ANY
CAUSE, Use occasional use of opening medicine is AB
SOLUTELY required. Thus the coNDcirsof the blood,
the fountain of life, are kept free from those impurities
which would prevent its steady current ministering health.
Thus, morbid humors are prevented from becoming mixed
with if. It is nature which is thus assisted through the
means and outlets which she has provided for herself.
