If may form a summer’s reciealion in Ins retirement at I fmilirvi.'le! It is true, that in the speech which ho makes on the 21 si March, ”11, (on proposing the re charter of the hank for twelve years, as mi amendment to Mr. Webster's bill for the re ncwal of the charter for six years only.) Mr. Calhoun does notice respectfully the doubts entertained by the Slate Rights parly upon the constitutionality of the bank; but it will be remembered that he addresses himself sue- | cossivoly to the removal ol obstacles which prevented (ho concurrence of all other pailits opposed to the rochartcr of the hunk, and -leaving his own views ns In its constitution ality unexplained, the inference in inevitable that he still occupied the ground which he had done when, in JB|(i, he declared its d sen.;- sion “an useless consumption of time.” I am one of lliobo who believe that it is as much the dn'y of a statesman to change Ins opinions and conduct for adeipnidc cause, as ! to remain steadfast when it is inadequate. An -bjimMu wJWuiice to error, is plain cnrntji lion —nothing bus. Not being intolerant or change, however, I cannot, tolerate its denial l when made. When I a n confronted in ’As wiih (he il ichi'a'inn, “the opposition were then (in ’AI) and are now National Haul; men”— with the further declaration that the opposi tion arc "for a National Ihmk, to which I have ■heon and am still opposed," made by the iden tical person who, at the lime when he des cribes liinisell at thus opposed, proposed its rcc.barler for twelve years, and who before tells ns that “but lor (Ins) eH’orls, it would not have been chartered;” lulling us in 'HI, that it is his own proper work, and in ”18 that he was, as he had been, opposed to it, and further • hat he had‘‘changed no opinion aliandnned no principle,”—l must he permitted to my, that if ho has liny cause to exult in the dec'll union Hull he belongs to a party “to which it is (hie) glory ever to have been attached ( x clnmvely, ' n is in be regretted that the reasons to rejoice are not reciprocal.

What, in the mean lime, has become of the mo ney power of a Treasury in the personal keeping of Executive agents? If tiro Executive be the political,and the Treasury the money power, it would seem that the means of being united ‘were at least as direct, when it is in the hands of the creatures of presidential appointment, as when the money is on deposit in a hank, where it could roily he reached through a regular course of busi ness operations, which could lie giil entitled from its hooks? In one sense this treasury is indepen dent—but in a sense in which no prudent man, acquainted with the precise method and system essential lo the accurate receipt and paymenntof money, could wish, indop nclonl of the fiscal reg ularity and order of institutions under perfect or ganization ami arrangement, and controlled in , their transactions hy chartered restraints and lia- j hililie-; independent not, only of corporate organi zation, hut of corporate discretion and intelligence; independent ol the management of a hoard of di rection, acting through forms ol deliberation, which are as efloclually a preventive ol fraud as | nl favouritism, and on i-Hcclmd protection against i that personal impulse which so often prevents in - | dividnals, “uiiconsulling and uneonsul.cd,” from ] thu faithful discharge of public trusts.

Instead of a divorce of the political from the money power, I ask, most em phatically, it this he n it establishing, in its worst and most direct form, the Justly dreaded concep tion between Iho Executive and the Treasury , “the sword ami the purse;” and it an influential Executive, collecting from the coutflry an annu al surplus in coins of some "o millions, (which he could and would do under a high duly system got up ami sustained lo strengthen hinrscll through the agency of money,) eapahlo of trans fer and condensation at will, might not assume the character of n Money King, awing the monied , institutions of the country into servile compliance, or crushing under his giant foot the insubordin ate and uncomplying ? Is it not familiar Irish), , ty that resistance lo such influence, attempted hy Andrew Jackson, was the foundation ol the war t which he commenced against the Hank of the li. 8. ! Is il not known that because Mr. Middle refused to remove Cien. Mason from thu Presi dency ol the Hiaiich Hank of Now Hampshire, for being opposed lo President 'Jackson, that ho avowed an extermination ol the Hank ? Upon this point, 1 avail myself with pleasure of the testimony of Mr. Calhoun, that vengeance was vowed and attempted because the hank “would not intermeddle dm the side of power.” Hut in noticing this refusal, which is the first and only practical divorce of lire (iovernmeul “from Hanks and Hanking operations,” one is n.x ■■ luridly led to inquire how many .Secretaries of the Treasury, servile, and super-serviceable as they have proverbially become, under thu recent doctrine of removal, and since the expulsion ol I Mi" Duane, would have dared to look their mas ter iu the fare, and refuse lo comply with his be hest! •'lndependent Treasury,” "Divorce of the political from Uie money povvet!” Keally, iu j these times ol perversion, our very language j seems to have been no (amorphased!

A letter was received at Savannah on Monday from a. citizen of that place now at the North, which contains the following paragraph, which we copy from the Georgian. “1 have heard that Mr. D. 13. Nichols’son has been saved from the Pulaski, and by some means or other his name had been overlooked in the list. His parents will find him on their return to’Uridgcport, and will I have no doubt, he astonished to find him in the land of the living.” The Georgian further adds. Wc will not allude to the probability or impro bability of this information being true, but indulge the sanguine hope, that the mail of this day, or 10-rnorrow, will confirm (bo intelligence which has, if true, cheered before this the agonized bo soms of his lately bereaved parents, who some days since embarked for the North.

Next season St. Joseph will bo the Now Orleans ofFloiida, in enterprise, commerce, and population.

It may he worth while to communicate to young tradesmen the ideas of an old one on this subject ; they are from Chamber’s Edinburgh .loumol, and are simply and briefly as fallows: “The first utility of frequent and regular ad vertising consists in this ; there is at all times a large class of persons, both in country and town, who have no fixed places for the purchase of cer tain necessary articles, and are ready to ho sway ed and drawn towards any particular place which is earnestly brought under their notice. Indiffer ent I>> ail, they yield without hesitation to the first who asks. Then, in the country, a conside rable number of persons, who wish a supply of the articles advertised, ami do not know of any particular place where it is to he got, being thus furnished with the address of a person who can supply them, naturally open a communication with that address, whi li. perhaps, leads to much ulterior business. People irt the country arc also liable to lie favourably impressed by the frequent sight of a name in the newspapers. The adver tising parly acquires distinction in their eyes, and thus they are led, m making a choice, to prefer him. Lut by far the most iinpuilaiil effect of ad. verlising is one of an indirect nature; it conveys the impression that the party —•pretending or not protending, quaekish or not quackish—is anxious lor business. One who is anxious for business, is unavoidably supposed to ho an industrious, at tentive, civil prison, who keeps the best of arti cles at the cheapest rate, does every thing in the neatest and most traJcsinanlike manner, and in general uses every expedient to gratify and attach customers. People, of course, like to purchase under those circumstances, and the system of ad vertising assuring them that such circumstances exist at tins particular shop, they select it accord ingly. Such are the opinions of the old trades man alluded to, and they are, certainly, supported by fact; lor wherever an extensive or regular sys tem ol advertising is practised, and no buck*draws ing or uncon.|Uerahle circumstances exist, it is usually seen to he attended with a considerable share ol success. One feature in the philosophy of the subject must be carefully attended to. A faint and uiifrcquoiit system of advertising does not succeed even ir. proportion, “Drink deop, or taste not the Pierian spiing.” General Gaines. The Mobile Chronicle contains the following lino compliment to this gallant officer: “Trace the career of this true patriot and sol dier from its commencement in early youth, thro’ a long course ol years, to an honorable and lion me.l old age, and we call title! him itir same- • prompt and active at lire fust e.ill ol duly, with in ••eye single to hr- connliv good," and a singular di.aogaid ol pcisonal i on-idclalions.

We recommend the following remarks from . the Maine Farmer, to the attention of our read l ... its; diey contain information which may he use ful to many of them. It is not unfrec)ucnlly that we hear complaints, which we have no doubt arc well founded, that much of the lullin'for sale in our markets, is strong, rancid, and unfit for use. From our own experience, wc arc injured to liclicvc that the greatest (.art of the fault is in the salt which is used in it. Wc were never aide to preserve hul ter in its purity, for any length of lime, sailed with the Liverpool salt, while the butler made in the same way and salted with ground rock salt, has been kept a year, retaining the same sweet and pleasant flavor It possessed when first taken from the churn. That the tine Liverpool salt is not lit to be used to preserve meit or butler, is a fact not so generally known us it should he. Ls convenience for use, and while texture, induces, people to buy it. Hut if, instead of this, they would purchase the ground rock salt, notwithstanding they would have to pay a higher price, they would be gainers in the end. I ho butter of New York market has also been rendered worse if not absolutely spoiled, by tho same kind of salt. Beguiled by its line and showy exterior, the citizens have used it extensively in the counties famous fur grazing and darics. In many cases it lias supplanted the old fashioned coarse or sun-made salt. Wherever the substitu tion has been made, it lias been with a pernicious effect. The butter so salted, does not keep as well, loses its agreeable flavor, and acquires rath er a disagreeable scent. The difference between butler put up with this salt, [and natural crys talized salt is so great, that our wholesale and retail groffcrs can distinguish it at once, by the smell, on piercing or opening' a firkin. The sweet flavor and nice ordr, which pure sea salt gives, is altogether wanting in that which is sea soned with l lie other. And Iho Liverpool salt is llio remote agent of so much loss, damage, and misery to the United States, it is high lime to cease both to buy and consume it. In its stead, salt from the Hay of Biscay, Portugal, Isle of Man, ortho Bahamas, may he employed with pofcct safety. The fault of Liverpool salt, and of all other salt obtained from the sea water, by force of lire, or by boiling, is its admixture, with foreign in gredients known by the technical names of slock and bittern. These usually adhere to the salt in considerable quantities. They have no antisep tic virtues, but possess a directly contrary died. Sea salt, formed by natural evaporation and eryslalization, has very little mixture with those foreign ingredients. Electro Magnetism—Ur. Sherwood. In relation to this subject and Ur. Sherwood, the New York whig makes the following rc marks: The more wc see and hoar of Electro Magnet lism, the more arc wo convinced that it is hut just beginning to he properly understood. The recent astonishing discoveries of Ur. Sherwood, have taken our scientific men by storm. They find they have been demonstrating upon false princi ples, and reasoning without knowledge. Wc al luded llio oilier nnj l\f tliu . VJ.V..V. 1.. o<...g>aen 11 p on the Uoctor’s work; vve now wish to say a word ■ or two upon his medical pretensions. Wo have known him personally ami intimately for nearly fomtecn years, and in our inteicourse have never found him wanting in honor, science, integrity or manliness. He is une of the most benevolent men wo have ever known. As a regular praeli tioncr of medicine in Jellerson comity, JV. Y., be was eminently successful; and for many years was llie leading physician of the vicinity. For more than twenty years has he devoted himself to the study of Electro Magnetism, in the hope of discovering remedies lor diseases over which the regular practice had little or no control. lie at length succeeded, and produced his “Electro- Magnetic remedies for chronic diseases,” which arc now sold at many of the drug shops in the country. Wo arc personally acquainted with many who have experienced llio beneficial effects of this]most valuable discovery. Ho treats no active disease, but confines himself to the class , hypertrophy, or some forms of scrofula, such as consumption, dyspepsia, lemonluca chlorosis, &c. Uiscases which have hitherto baffled the skill of the most experienced physicians,yield to these electric remedies. The Doctor liases his theory 11(1011 tho most perfect foundation, and his practice has proved the correctness of iiis judg ment. Tho diseases he treats, arc occasioned by an irregular taction of the electro galvanic forces which are inherent in the animal system, causing all its motions and functions. These forces he denominates repulsion and attraction, and with oul'lhcir mutual co-operation, there can he no motion of animate or inanimate matter. Whilst they are reciprocally balanced, the whole mecha nism of the human frame moves with regularity and maintains its health. Irregular action of these forces produces disease in the organs, limbs, and other structures, in all the fearful variety be longing to the class already named. The doctor proves that the human frame is a natural galvanic battery; that (he 'skin, and mucus, and serous membranes, are as the plates of zinc and copper in that machine, while Ihe nerves act as the con ducting wires, &c. Upon this theory the doctor has contrived his remedies so as to restore the electro galvanic lorccs of the diseased limb or organ, to an equilibrium, and thus ell’ect a cure. The remedies are pills and plaster. The pills arc retained in a negative slate of electricity and act through the circulation, while, tho plaster, being positive, operates upon the diseased part through the intercommunicating ncivcs. The latter is placed where it has the most di rect nervous communication with the diseased or gan. That part of the skin to which it is applied having previously excreted a serous or negative fluid, will soon excrete a mucus or positive fluid, by which means the excessive tangential forces from the surface to tho organs, arc controlled and their eqnilihrum ill the system restored. We foci compelled to make these remarks, that the public may become somewhat acquainted with these sate, certain and scientific remedies. The wide class of scroll)Ions diseases carry oil’ thousands of the young and beautiful annually. These can be saved to their friends and the public by Ur. Sherwood’s discoveries. Ur. Parvin is associated with Ur. Sherwood, and we arc confident neither of them would ad. vise the electric remedies for active diseases, or where they were not confident of uflbtding relief or effecting a cute.
