TUESDAY MORNING, JI lV 30.
KOR GOVERNOR,
l II A U LE S Don; 11 EUT v ,
or CLABK rOCSTT.
The Colton Circular, which we published
some days ago, has been republished in Balli
inore. Philadelphia and New-York. We shall
to-morrow make extracts from the papers of
those cities in relation to that movement.
On Sunday evening wc had one o( the heaviest
rains we ever witnessed, accompanied with al
most incessant thunder and lightning. The
house of Mr. S. S, Brown, in the upper part of
the city, was struck by lightning, and a negro
girl, sitting on the floor inside, against the wall,
near the fire-place, was killed. Her death was
instantaneous; she dropped her head upon her
breast, and it was not known that she was in
jured until an attempt was made to arouse her.
Mrs. Brown ami her children were sitting near
her at the time—some of the children within two
or three feet of her, hut none of them were in
jured.
We copy the article below, from the Tuscaloo
sa Independent Monitor, showing up the crooked
ways of the Alabama Democracy. Wo invoke
our readers to look through it. Judge McKinly,
who has recently become so perfectly democratic
astodccidc that the U. S, Bank had no right to
collect its debts out of the State of Pennsylvania,
was the author of the exquisite resolutions below,
urging in the most earnest tones upon Congress
to charter a National Bank with a capital of On r,
Huniihkii Miu.ions of Dollars ! This gentle
man and his worthy cn-adjutors are now furious
and raving against Mr. Clay because he sugges
ted the propriety of establishing a hank of (illy
millions ; only half (heamount which they them
selves proposed in 1832 ! Then it was republi
canism to go for a Bank atone, hundred millions
—now' it is Federalism to propose one of fifty !
Then, a National Bank was ihe idol oftheir
hearts ami the hope of the land ; now, it is
“ A MONSTER of such frightful mien,”
that the Democrats of Alabama are thrown into
spasms and convulsions at the very mention of
its name! Oh the dear, dear! Democracy of
Alabama! What would become of it if Congress
should charier a National Bank of DIO millions
capital, Upon the plan proposed in its own resolu
tions in 1832. Whither would Alabama Demo
cracy fly to escape the devouring jaws of its own
hideous progeny ? Or would it make battle,
its own hand in deadly strife uplifted, against its
own-begotten, grisly “juinstkii ?” What a
grand and awful spectacle ! Alabama Democra
cy, with crest uprenred, furious and charging,
rushing to battle against the Bank, its own first
horn of .lacksouism, like Satan at the gates of
Hell warring against Death, “his own fair son,”
“ The dear pledge
Os dalliance had with sin in Heaven.”
Tearful encounter! direful struggle ! We trem
ble for Democracy—
“ Each at the head
Bevels his deadly aim ; their fatal hands
No second stroke intend.”
I
But hold! let the “ moxstkii” son of Democ
racy show itself-—that now seems to its progeni-
t irs ns “ grim and terrible” as the child of,Satan. |
Ih'tmliosofthe Democracy in V!nh;nii!i— 1
Dank fneoasistencics—Judge JlcHiiiiv. *
Mr. Payne, ,Vr.
M e present our readers, below, with a most * f
extraordinary document, which owes its pater- *
nity to the democratic parly in the Alabama
Legislature, in the years 1831-’32. it exhibits
plainly and clearly the gathering inconsistencies '
of tlie prt 111 democracy. Let the people read '
it. and judge for themselves. Mr. McKinly, the
deader of the democratic parly in the House, pro- 1
sauted the memorial. Viler noticing some oh- 1
jeelions to the Bank as it then existed, the me- 1
morial went on as follows:
” V our memorialists beg leave to recommend
to the consideration of Congress, the establish
ment of a Bank ol the 1 nited Stales, upon the
I 'bowing principles, subject to such alterations
as may he suggested by the wisdom of Congress.
“Ist. A Bank of the United Slates shall he
established with a capital of nu tit Miur.n mii
i.ionk of dollars, sky i.vrv millions of which
shall belong to the United Stales, and tuiuty
millions to individual stockholders.
“2d. The surplus revenue of the I nited States
shall, after the payment of the public debt, the
expenses of the government, and utter a proper
reduction and modification "I the tarill duties,
he set apart anuuallv until the sum ot seventy
millions of dollars he raised.
“3|, The principal hank shall he located at
Washington city, or such other place us Con
gress in iv d’recl ; and there shall he appointed
by the President of the United States, by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate, a
President and eight directors of said Bank ; and
the other stockholders shall appoint lour direc
tors.
‘•4lh. There shall he located in each Stale,
with the consent id the Legislature thereof, a
branch or branches of said hank ; and one half
of the capital furnished by the United Stales
sh ill belong to and become vested ir such Slate
-the other h ilf belong to the United Stales,and
t lie remainder to the individual stockholders.
“9th. Each State consenting to receive a
branch o<- branches of the Bank, shall he en
titled to stock In proportion to its representation |
in Congress, which shall he equalised on every
apportionment of representation.
“6th. The President, and four directors of
each branch hunk, shall he appointed h\ the Pre
sident of the I nited Slates, by and with the ad
vice and consent of the Senate; four directors
shall he appoint! I by the State, where such
branch may be located, in such manner us its
Legislature may direct and the remaining four
•hall he appointed hv the other stockholders.
“7lh. The Pr-'si lent and director* of the prin
cipal hank and the several branches, shall, under
the direction of the Secretary of the Treasure,
transact such portion of the fiscal concerns of
the government, as may he directed by law.
“Bth. Ihe Pi. dent and directors of each
branch hank shall cause to he made out annually,
a report shewing the true condition of the branch
hank under their m magement, one copy of which
shill h- tr.ms lilted ti the President of the prin
cipal bank, and one to be laid before the stock
holders. And the president and directors of the
pr.uc.ipal hank shall cause a report to be made
; out annually, shewing the true condition t>f tlie
lianl. and .ill it* brunches, and transmitted tn the
secretary of the tr i-ury, liy him In he laid hefo e
j Cong'css.
‘“.nh. The bank and each of its branches shall
Ire hound lo lend In the Unit’d Slide*, when
excr required by Congress, ut leant fifty per cent
of the amount of the rnpitul, respectively.
\ "lOtb. The notes of the principal bank, and
of each branch, shell bn received in payment ol
all dues to the lulled Slates, any of the States,
lo the principal bank or any of its branches.
“11 lb. The rate of interest to be charged by
| the bank and its branches, shall never exceed live
j per cent per annum.
" 1 —lh. Should the principal bank be located
I in a Stale, it shall have no more capital than the
quota of that State: if located at Washington,
it may have such amount of capital as Congress
may give it; hut the one hall of the profits
arising from the stock furnished by the United
States, shall lie divided among the several States,
according lo the representation—after allowing
to the District of Columbia 25 per cent thereof.
“ I dill. At least two thirds of the profits of the
hank, ue ruing to each State, ahull he applied by
its (legislature, to leading objects of internal im
provements and education.
“Retained, That the Governor he requested
to ranstnit a copy of the foregoing memorial to
each of our Senators and Representatives in
Congress, and that he he also requested to trans
mit it copy to the Governor of each Stale, with a
request that he will lay it before the Legislature
thereof.”
This is the exact copy of the recommendatory
part of the memorial. It was advocated through
out by MeKinly and the leading democrats—
and it passed the House of Representatives by a
vole of 40 to 2d. The democrats of the present
day, although they then advocated a hank of
such enormous capital, are now horror stricken
ut the idea ofartrci muinv hank. They
strain the muscles of their faces, expand their
lingers, and make all sorts of contortions, when
they speak of a hank ; yet we see what were their
opinions seven years ago on the hunk question.
Let ns examine this subject a little more.
The following gentlemen voted for McKinly’s
memorial:
“Acklin, Augustus, Boyd, Campbell, Craig,
Dillelt, Mrwin of Mobile, Faulk, Farrar, Funtaiu,
( toyne, Hall of A. Hall of 15. Hays, Johnson Kil
patrick, McAfee, McCullum, MeKinly, McKea,
McVny, Mollet, Norwood, Oliver of C. Payne,
Rather, Kiddle, Saunders of L. Shearer, Snedi
cor, Stephens, Swink, Rente, Philpot, Tarrant,
Terrell, 'l'ou/min, Watkins and Wilkinson.”
Os these, only n few are now known to us—or
who are before the public. We will rcferonly to
those who arc, or have been somewhat conspicu
ous.
mik/t, the present whig candidate in the Mo
bile district, stands consistent with his vole on
that memorial.
I lull of Augusta, and Hull of Baldwin are both
democrats now, and anti-hunk men ; so much for
their consistency. •
Os Hays, Johnson, Kilpatrick and McAfee—
we know nothing.
The next named gentleman, McCollum, is now
a whig candidate for the Legislature iu Fayette
—tluiHyou see his consistency.
The next name is that of the conspicuous au
thor o( the memorial—the then hank man—the
now famous democratic judge of the United
•'■'lutes Circuit Court—and one of the lights of i
the party So much for his consistency. ,
Me licit, wo do not know ; hut the next we do
know— 1
Me IV/?/, the ex-Govcrnor—the then one him- '
tired million hank man—and the nolo anti-bank— \
suli-lroastiry democrat.
Mollet is dead. Os Norwood, we cannot ‘
spe ik. 1
Oliver was the opponent offiov. Uaghy. He t
was a consistent hank man to the end of his life.
And now we come to the name of
lln Payne —the boastful leader of the Sunder
county democracy. This individual makes it a
point to rave at Henry Clay and his fifty million i
hank—holding it up lo the people as a terrible
monster, that will most undoubtedly ruin the
country; and yet, in 18)52, we see him standing
by the side of Judge MeKinly,and memorializing
Congress—in opposition to the recommendation
in the message of his excellency, the pro, lent.
governor of the State—for a bank with the enor
mous capital of 100 millions of dollars I Put thy
face under a blanket. Mr. Payne, for it will burn
any more combustible material. How can you
expect thus to deceive the people ! How can
any party expect to sustain themselves in the face
ol these glaring inconsistencies 1
Os the other names in the list of votes above
given, we know only three —there are two ol
them citizens of our county —Mr. Fontaine and
Mr. Terrell—both, wo believe, still bank men.
The other name, is that ol the respectable and
consistent whig senator from Greene county, Mr.
Kiddle.
Tims, it is clearly shown, that the conspicuous
men of this list who arc note anti-hank men, have
changed their colors—and the conspicuous men
of this list who are U '/Tips', arc now what they
were then —consistent supporters of a national
bank,
We entreat the people not to let these things
pass. They surely deserve notice. It is plain
that the leading democrats in Alabama at the
present time, were hank men in 18152. Jackson
was a hank man in 1832—this we have shown,
on a former occasion, from his messages. But
Jackson changed—and of course his menials fol
lowed him. Look only at the instances of Mc-
Kinley, McVay. Payne, and Toulmin, the pre
sent anti-bank democratic senator for Mobile.
They are all men conspicuous for their stations.
Do we not see them, in 1832, memorializing
Congress for a bank of one hundred millions !
And yet, not withstanding all this, they claim to
he consistent opponents of a national hank !
More Slander ami Abuse !
Since the Stale and People of South Carolina
have dared to diller from the Telescope, and its
little, reslh ss. dictatorial faction, that paper seems
to have a peculiar relish for anything slanderous
or abusive of them. Not satisfied with its own
hitler and slanderous tirades, or deterred, even 1
by the disgust and indignation excited by its |
publication and applause of the infamous letters
ol ".t Friend lo ■''.‘ate Kiyhls," its last number
contains the following, copied from a paper which
joined it in the circulation of those slanderous
letters —the Augusta Chronich cud Sentinel;
"The annexe I taunt, Item the Augusta Chroni
cle, is bitter. Wc copy it, because it may not 1
be unwholesome to see what is said of us hx oth-
I its. Many, who are too proud lo confess, will
| ft! it, and possibly take a lesson for the time to
i come.
•• While on the subject of toasts, perhaps we
; had as wa ll give our neighbors of Carolina a
he.i mg. If they don't cheer as loud and as long 1
as we do in Georgia, it is not because they don’t I
j entertain a good opinion of themselves.
8. South Carolina—The Flag Ship of the |
i South; with John C. Calhoun lor her pilot, she j
• can brave the loudest and the longest tempest.—
[1 3 cheers.' Toast m MJgtTield.
j This is ail a mistake—she xx is once a flag
I shin, but she has been razeed. Site is nothing
■ now hut a "low black schooner with rakish
• masts." ami doubtful character. She has lately
i been taken into the service of Government to do
; a small coasting business until after the Presi
dential election in isio. We said she was once
I a (lag ship;—so she was. but her pilot after a
long cruize, being too anxious t > run her sudden
ly into port for Ids own benefit, attempted to
bring her in through the Sub-Treasury pass. and.
she immediately foundered in shallow water.—
s 1 The injury she received by this act of rashness,
wa- o great as to render it necessary lo cut her
e down, which was done accordingly. It i-r sup
posed that in a short time she will he placed un-
I tier command of Commodore Benton, and em
- ployed in making gold “flow up the Mississippi
t i river.”
A “taunt” it is, indeed!—and “copied, bn
-1 j cause it may not he unwholesome to sec what is
if said of us by others !” And thus, it is “whole
i. some” to encourage and circulate a slander among
the opponents of the slandered, that the laller
y | may “sec what is said of them !”—“by others” —
i' what others ]— Its own Hank and Clay men—
j they who, like itself, look an interest in circula-
I ling the thriec-deteslablc, false, and infamous
e : slanders of “ A Friend to State Rights," and
have dsserled, and attempted to obliterate, the
I ancient land-marks of their faith and parly !
* • they who, like itself, have held up our State and
I people, as the vilest and most pusillanimous cow
. j unis, poltroons, and apostates, in the very contest
! in which they were joined with them ! And now,
. when (hey again assail them, and set forth the
• State as a political pirate, anil its people as fallen,
degenerate, and degraded, it is “wholesome” for
them “to sec what is” thus “said of them by
others!”—expected that they should reverence
I such authority, listen with profound respect and
i submission to its dictates, aril cower and tremble
before its opinion, or “hitter” “taunt!”
•South Carolina, a political pirate, degenerate,
and of “doubtful character”! It is, of course,
easy to say this, but we defy titherlhe Telescope,
or its “worthy brother,” to sustain it, by facts, or
argument. When were her people so united
among themselves, or more respected abroad 1 —
more untrammelled by party, or free from the
partisan schemes and struggles of the times 1—
or more hold, independent, and influential, in the
Federal Councils] But,
“ Let Hercules, himself, do what he may,
The Cat will mew, the Vo g will have Ids day.”
We transfer the above to our columns, from
the South Carolinian, for the purpose of showing
the capacity which some people possessor making
themselves “most magnanimous fools.” Wo
copy it entire, including the jcu d'esprit ol our
own some time since, which seems to have been
the cause of so much uneasiness, in order to let
sensible people sec how infinite that capacity call
become, in producing that result from the small
est mailers. It may he that in this instance, as
in ninny others, “the truth of the joke is its keen
est edge.” The Editor of the Carolinian would
feign make the people of South Carolina believe
that their characters were slandered and abused,
and that he himself is their only champion ;
but if we are not mistaken in ourestiinnle of their
cow man sense, the groat mass of that people, w U
he much more disgusted with his asisinc stupidi
ty in imagining them to be such fools, than of
fended with our raillery at their politics. “Slan
der anil abuse” indeed ! The politicians of South
Carolina are as fair game as those of any other
State, and we feel no more scruple about shooting
at them, than at any other gang of black-hirds. —
But wo feel perfectly indifferent ns to what con
struction the politicians of that State may place !
upon our article, or in what light it may lie view
ed by their petulant pet at Columbia. Ifas a joke,
we are content that it may pass as a hit or other
wise; if as a “taunt,” whether “bitter” or not,
and in that light they rather seem to think that
it /« bitter; or as u serious charge of political
tergiversation and abandonment of principles,—
We take the liberty of saying what wc please
about Georgia politicians, and can Ke no reason
why we should exercise any greater degree of
tenderness to those over the river. Wo abuse
the characters of neither, as men, hut us politi
cians wo have a right to censure or applaud as
we think they deserve, and us we think, so shall
we speak. If South Carolina politicians choose
to puli' themselves into imaginary importance by
claiming her to he the “flag-ship of the South,” it
is certainly no “slander or abuse” in us of Geor
gia to deny it. flic slander is from the other
side, if there be any, in assigning to other States
a position inferior to and controlled by her. Per
haps the allusion to Benton and the flow of gold
| up the Mississippi, was rather unpalatenblc.—
We cannot help it—Carolina is now in a position
to justify the belief that she will as readily sup
port Benton for the Presidency us she does his
hard money humbuggery—one is about ns bad ns
the other, and i stomach that willingly receives
one, will not be very apt to revolt at the other.
Hut why pursue this matter further] The Edi
tor of the Carolinian only wanted a little stimu
lant; he lives upon political excitement, like a
ehamclion does upon atmospheric air, and we see
no good reason why our squibs should not ntford
him food mid nourishment, if he chooses to appro
priate them in that way. When ho feels gaunt
and famished, if he will make us a sign, we will
send him over a little more provender.
But those “ ‘infamous letters of ‘A Friend to
Shite Rights,'" will certainly mu the Carolinian
crazy! We must hunt them up and reperuse
them. They certainly must contain a great
many severe and cutting truths, or they would
not rankle and fester so long in the flesh of their
victims. Perhaps we may republish thaiu ! Can
the Carolinian stand the operation]
In conclusion we will merely add the remarks
of the Edgefield Advertiser in relation to the same
article from our paper, which was also re-puhlish
led in that paper. They arc in the proper feeling,
i and treat our remarks pretty much as they were
j intended.
“It is said to he good for a man to know the
j opinion of his neighbors about him.—The follow
j mg is the opinion of a contemporary, just over the
Savannah river, about South Carolina. Though
j it is untavorable, it is expressed in a humorous
j manner.”

Tub NoKTB-EiSTKBtv Boundaht. The
; newspapers in Canada and the lower provinces
| have discovered, to their consternation, that the
: Geologist of the United States, has been appoint
i cd by the British government, to settle the Bonn
j dan Question. The fact seems to he. that Mr.
Fealherslonhaugh, who has recently made a
geological survey for our government in the
Western States, and returned to England last
winter, has received the appointment of geolo
gist to the commission about to tie organized for
a new survey of the boundary. The New Bruns
wick papers seem to look upon this as conclusive
evidence that the American claim is to he allowed
without any trouble.—„Y. York Express.
Fortification or British North Amrr
u a. — The Brockville Statesman stales that
among ollfer active preparations which are now
making U) place every part of British North
America in the ample state of defence, are the
following: Bermuda is to he strongly fortified,
permanent barracks are to be built at Lapraire
with stone towers to defend them. Martello lowers
are to he erected at Montreal. Fort Wellington
at i’rescott is to completed, Fighting island is to
be fortified, and Government has purchased sev
eral pieces of land in various parts of the sub
urbs of Kingston, with a view of commencing
public vvu,l.s, for its defence, on a very large
scale.
From all this the editor of the Montreal Herald
sagely concludes that the Uritish ministry are
makinir preparations on a great scale, for a war
with the United States.
A Caution.— The Richmond Whigcontains
the following raulion from James M. Garnett,
Esq. to his “fellow sufferers in the Moms Mulli
caulis speculation.” Writing under date of the
16th inst„ Mr. Garnett says; “If it be not too
late, I will caution all such against digging up
those parts of their grounds wherein they have
supposed their cuttings to he dead. This caution
I take the liberty to offer, because, so late as
yesterday, while some of my negroes were hoeing
the plants already growing, I found my cuttings
just putting out both roots and buds —although,
to judge by the surface of the land, all wete dead
that did not appear above ground.”
Canada Matters.—The Montreal Herald
congratulates the inhabitants of the two Canadas
tMi the improbability of any invasions, for a good
wtliile to come from this side, utdess in the event
of .1 National war, of which the Herald is still in
'hopes. As the ground for this belief, it is is sta
ted that Sir John Colborne has been instructed
in case of future invasions, to pursue and punish
the outlaws wh srever he can catch them. These
instructions it is stated have been communicated
to our Government by Mr. Fox. The Herald
slates that these instructions have been acted on
in some cases, hut does not mention the instan
ces. The Yankee Magistrates, it seems, issue
warrants for the arrest of the troops when they
cross over in pursuit of the outlaws.
The American Flag was hoisted at Toronto
on the 4th, hut was soon hauled down.
Go thou and no likewise.—The Cincin
nati Gazelle of'Tuesday, contains the following
letter, received at that office on the day previous,
accompanying it with a request for “all delin
quent subscribers, whether to a Whig or Loco
Foco paper, to carefully read, digest, and follow
the example sot by the writer.”
‘•Bloomington, Fay. Co., 0., July 4, 1839.
Messrs. L’Hommediku & Co,
Gentlemen:— On the Ist of this present
month, lam indebted to you for six years’ sub
scription to the Gazette. It is a considerable de
linquency ; hut until the present I have not been
in circumstances to pay you—and yet was not
willing to slop a papet so useful to myself and
my family.
I recollect to have seen in your paper, some
years since, an editorial remark respecting a sub
scriber, who had remitted to you as many years
in advance, as he had been years delinquent,
which you seemed to say, (if I understood you)
1 was about right. Please to inform me, if a re
mittance for twelve years subscription, at the
advance price, would be satisfactory to pay my
present account, and entitle me to your paper for
six years to come.
Respectfully your’s.”

having first sold off his own property and pock

Canal from the Great Lakes to the
Mi ssissi m.—A canal, to connect the waters of
Lake Michigan with the upper Mississippi, was
commenced at Milwaukie on the 4lh inst. The
distance from Milwaukio to the navigable waters
of Rock River, which empties into the Mississip
pi, is 40 miles. The canal will bo rigorously

A Ghost ! —An apparition has been seen in
Canada, according to the Transcript
N o body can read the last paragraph, and disbe
lieve the account. No wonder the poor man
could not lie quietly in his grave, alter dying un
annealed of such a sin.
Lust Tuesday fortnight, Mrs. ,( a lady of
literary taste and rather studious habits,) sal read
ing in herdrawing room, the clock on the mantel
piece struck twelve; as the last stroke reverbera
ted through the apartment, its door was suddenly
llung open. In the act of raising her head to
reprove the intrusion, (unrung for) of her servant,
her eye rested on the form of her late husband ;
she screamed and fell senseless on the rarpot.
Phis brought up such members of the family as
had not yet retired to rest; restoratives were ad
ministered, and when Mrs. , had regained
possession of her suspended faculties, and being
a woman of strong mind and highly cultivated
intellect, she felt disposed to consider the whole
of the distress she had undergone as the result of
certa n associations between the melancholy tale
she had been perusing and her late loss* operating
on a partially deranged nervous system.
She however deemed it advisable that her maid
servant should repose in her chamber, lest any
return of what she had been determined to con
sider a nervous affection should distress herself
and alarm the family.
Last Tuesday night, feeling stronger and in
better spirits than she had enjoyed for several
months past, Mrs dispensed with the at
tendant, retiring alone to her chamber, and went
to bed a little before 10 o’clock. Exactly as the
clo k struck 12 o’clock, she was awakened from
her sleep, and distinctly beheld the apparition she
i lu J l ! I,o,ure seen, advancing from the table (on
which stood her lamp) till it stood opposite to,
and drew aside the curtains of her bed. A sense
ot suffocating oppression deprived her of all power
to scream loud. She describes her veryjblood
it treating with icy chilliness to her heart from
ever)' win. The countenance ol her beloved
in life wore not its benevolent aspect; the eyes,
once beaming with affection, were now fixed in
i stern regard on the trembling half dissolved being,
, who in the courage of desperation thus adjure^
■ —“Charles! my dear Charles! why are you

i the shadowy form, waving in his hand a small

The Mosquito’s Song.
In the dreamy hour of night I’ll hie,
When the hum is hushed of the weary fly,
When the lamps are lit and the curtains drawn,
And sport on my wings till the morning dawn,
In the festive hall, where all is joy,
In the chamber hushed where the sleepers lie ;
In the garden bowers where the primrose smiles,
And the chirping cricket the hour beguiles ;
In these I’ll sport through the summer night,
And the mortals to vex, 111 bite, I’ll bite.
There’s one I view with an evil eye;
A flame of pride in his breast I spy,
He breathes in a lute with a master’s skill,
And listening souls the rich strain fill
With the rapturous thrill of melody ;
But he carries his head so haughtily,
I’ll play him a trick—in his happiest swell,
When the lingering thrill with a magic spell,
Holds all entranced, I’ll wing my flight,
And pop on his nose, I’ll hite, I’ll bite.
There’s a poet, I know—in the still midnight
He plies the pen by the taper’s light,
And weaned ot earth, in a world all his own.
With fancy he rambles where flowers arc strewn,
Os fadeless hue, and he images there
A creation of beauty in the pure still air.
With the world around from his sense shut out,
He heeds not the buzz of my round about;
But when a new image has broke on his sight,
Ere he gives it existence, I’ll bite, I’ll bite.
And the long-courted vision shall vanish; while I
In a snug little corner, shall watch him, so shy,
As ho thumps his brow in a burning rage.
And dashes his pen o’er the well-fill’d page.
I sec a young maid in her chamber napping.
And I know that love at her heart is tapping;
She dreams of a youth and smiles in bliss,
As she pouts out her lips to receive a kiss;
But she shall not taste the gentle delight,
For I’ll light on her lips, and I’ll bite, I’ll bite.

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHEKsh
DR IV. EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING *
SYRUP,for Children Cutting their Teeth.— This
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil
dren, when thought past recovery, from convul
sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed?, on the
gums, the child will recover. The preparation is
so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no
child will refuse to let its gums he rubbed with it.
When infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children j for
if a child wakes in thenight with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immodiateiy gives ease, by opening the
pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing
convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm.
Evans ’ Medical Office, 100 Chatham street, New
York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all
diseases of children.
PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent
of Dr. Evans ’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir—The
great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by
your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and
painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa
rent how essential an early application of such an
invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and
torture. My infant, when teething, experienced
such acute sufferings, that it was attacked with
convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the babe from anguish,
till we procured a bottle of your Syrup; which as
soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change
was produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by continuiug in
its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com
pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful
complaint has since occurred; the teeth are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health.
I give you my cheerful permission to mako this
acknowledgment public, and will gladly give any
information on this circumsti nee.

TONIC PILLS. —The power of loans’ Camomile
Pills arc such, that the palpitating heart, the trem
ulous hand, the dizzy eye, and the fluttering mind,
vanish before their effects like noxious vapors be
fore the benign influence of the morning sun.—
They have long been successfully used for the cure
of intesmittents, together with fevers of the irregu
lar nervous kind, accompanied with visceral ob
structions.
This tonic medicine is for nervous complaints, ,
general debility, indigestion and its consequences, 1
as want of eppetite, distension of the stomach, acid
ity. unpleasant taste in the mouth, rumbling noise
in the bowels, nervous symptoms, languor, when
the mind becomes irritable,desponding, thoughtful,
melancholy, and dejected. Hypochondriacism, con
sumption, dimness of sight, delirium, and all other
nervous affections, these pills will produce a safe
and permanent cure.
Evans’ Camomile Pills were first introduced into
America in 1835.
EVANS’ FAMILY APERIENT PILLS are
purely vegetable, composed with the strictest pre
cision of science and of art; they' never produce
nausea, and arc warranted to cure the following
diseases which arise from impurities of the blood,
viz:— Apoplexy, Bilious Affections, Coughs, Colds,
Ulcerated Sore Throats, Scarlet Fever, Asthma, Cho
lera, Li ver Complaints, Diseases if the Kidnies and
Bladder, Affections peculiar to Females, and all
those diseases of wl atsoever kind to which human
nature is subject, where the stomach is affected.
More conclusive proofs of the extraordinary effi
cacy of Dr. Wm. Evans’ celebrated Camomile and
Aperient Anti-Bihous Pills.in alleviating afflicted
mankind. —Mr. Robert Cameron, 101 Bowery.—
Disease—Chronic Dysentery, or Bloody Flux—
Symptoms, unusual flatulency in the bowels, se
vere griping, frequent inclination to go to stool, tu
nusmus, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fre
quency of pulse, and a frequent discharge of a pe
culiar foetid matter mixed with blood. great debility,
sense of burning heat, with an intolerable bearing
down of the parts. Mr. Cameron is enjoying per
fect health, and returns his sincere thanks for the
extraordinary benefits he has received.
