racls fromlhe letter. The incident narrated be

"Among the emigrants were ten bribers ami
pisters, tbo nhililren of obi Itacbel, who liml last
summer decided not to go. When, however,
the time for a final decision came, she conclu

for that purpose. Her husband, an old man na

son's neighbors, was allowed to accompany the
family to Iiuisville and then bid them adieu.

No one, I think, could hnvo witnessed thia

Confidence n tut n flection, such as these emi
grants manifested towards their former ninBtcr,
could bo the result of no other than the most
humane and benevulriit treatment, and would,
doubtless, favorably contrast with the state of

thing but words of detoBtulioi) towards every

His muster, however, sent a letter offering to convenient and harmless substitute, and should
let him go fur S100. It seemed hard to sepa
rate the old man from his fumily, his wile ami
children and grandchildren, and a statement of
the facts were made to the meeting. All ryes
were on the old man as he arose, when Dr.
Prcckenridge inquired if he desired to go with
his family. His answer was, "Yes, air, I would
do anything to go with them."
A proposition having been made to open a
fiihscription far his freedom, the President's ta
ble was soon crowded arid old Reuben was tree.
I fe is now daily glorifying (iod lor the liberality
f those who secured for him the boon of liberty.
It wiib an act, I doubt not, approved in Heaven,
and the actors in which will not regret it on a
dying bed.
Ojr purpose waa to leave Louisville on
Thursday morning in a steamboat for PittstKirg,
but at the moment of embarkation it was disco
vered that an application had been made for a
bill of injunction to prevent their departure.
Here wus another difficulty, which at first
teemed to threaten an entire failure. It, how
ever, fiiiled ; the application was relused, and
after only a day's delay, we were enabled to
tart on Friday morning in the mail bout Tor
Cincinnatti.
The hour of separation had come, and eome
who came to bid their fellow servants adieu
parted with heavy hearts.
Several left hui-bands or wivos behind, per
haps forever. Two of these cases were of deep
interest. Jordan belongs to an ertate near Mr.
Wilson's farm, and had come down to bid his
wife and two children adieu ; application had
been made to know if ho could be redeemed,
mid an absolute refusal was given. When ask
ed if he wished his wife and children to stay,
he replied 'No ; if they can bo free, li t them
go." Still their separation was sorrowful, and
after having come all the way to Rultimore and
put their clothes on board the vessel, his wife,
having been discouraged, decided to return to
Kentucky.
Peter belongs to a gentleman who lives out
of Shelby county, and has been hired by Mr.
Wilson for some time at !l?r a year. He is a
valuable blacksmith. He could scarcely speak,
so affected was he ut the prospect of the depar
ture of hie wile and children. I lelt deeply in
terested fur him, and promised his wife to make
an effort in his behalf. His owner bad sent me
a letter valuing him at $1000, but offered to let.
him go for sjsO(K). Mr. Wilson expressed it a
his opinion, that if Peter had his tune, in two
years he could earn enough to pay for bin free
dom, and hail I possessed the means, without
hesitation I would have advanced it for him. I
wUi some friend of Liberia, who could spare
fcOlMl fur two years, would advanco it for hi.n,
an. I h't f 1 1 in earn his liberty and follow his la
niily to tneir home in Africa.
James, a most excellent member of Mr. Wil
son's family, after packing bis clothing and get
ting them on board, luimd the sacrifice ton great
and those to remain in bondage rather than
leave his wife am! HuKlicii behind.
liic cannot but mlmire such motives, while
the necessity which demands the sacrifice of li
beily or affection, may he lamented. I under
nt uid that tin! owner of J unes' wife had olhV-r-ed
to let her go for JjOOO, hut would not let
their two children go on any terms.
Besides the provwions purchased by vis for
the support of these eiuio rants in Liberia fur fix
months, they have received a large outfit from
their lornier owner, of clothing, hardware, dry
goods, ic, and more than one hundred dollars
in cash.
While delayed at Wheeling, one of the fe
males, Lliza, the mother of two children, before
mentioned as Jordan's wife, decided not to pro
ceed. Her master offered lo leave her in Ma
ryland until another vessel should go, but she
refused, and at Mr. Wilson' exponne she and
her two chiUrcu have relumed to Kentucky .
Her decision, as in the case oi others who re
fused to go, was a disappointment, and aug
mented the expenses of the expedition per ca
pita, as only twenty-one emigrants actually sail
eil, while we had made the contracts and ne
ces.sry prov isioii I r iiity seven. These
change are, ho ever, incident to our work.

owner, eahiuiU'd a strength of mutual attach-

be used in the same manner as salt petre has
been. Meat has a stronger affinity for salt po
ire than for common salt. Salaratus has the
same power in that respect, and thereby pre
ventsthn meat from becoming too salt ; and the
name quantity should be used as of salt pette.
There is this difference in them, that salt pjtre
dissolve readily in cold water, whereas salara
tus docs not ; it should bo pounded and dissol
ved before it can be put into the brine. Salara
tus u composed of sulpbalo of potash, and per
lash ; and if any person is disposed to procure
the sulphate of potash at the shops, and use it
instead of salaratus, they will find its effects
substantially the same.
The usual way of saving hams and shoulders,
is to cut them as soon as possible after tin; hogs
are killed.- This course makes the meat tough
and stringy. In cold weather they should be
kept on hand just as long as they can be, and
not be any wise tainted. Then rub them over
with suyar or molasses, and let them lie a day
or two. Then put them into brine in which
has been put an ounce of salutatus dissolved, for
each ham or shoulder ; let them lie three or four
weeks in the bine. Smoke them in airy t-nioke
house, and they will be found delicious. C. D.
Simple Cire for thkCkoit. We find in
the Journal of Health the following simple re
inedy for this dangerous disease. If a child
it taken with the croup, instantly apply cultl
water, ice water if poss.ble, suddenly and
freely to the neck and chest with a rponge
the breathing will almost instantly be relieved;
so soon as possible let tbo sufferer drink as
much as it can, then wipe ii dry, cover it up
warm, and soon a quiet slumber will follow.
Yellow Bitter in Wintf.r is made by put
ting in the yollc of ecg near the termination of

butter. It has hitherto 'been kept a great secret
by many, but its great value requires publicity."

Mr. Tulk nnil the Tariff.
A few weeks iince wo expressed our opinion
in regard to the course which Mr. Polk would
most probably pursue, in relation to the Tariff
stating that we did net believe he would abandon
the interests of Pennsylvania. This has brought
down upon us some of our whig cotemporaries,
who, while they believe that their candidate ap
proximates as near perfection as it is possible for
any thing human to arrive at, are not willing to
accord anything in favor ofhis opponent, against
w hom, even his most bitter enemies could bring
no charges, derogatory to his character. Mr.
Polk't views, as far as they have been expressed
by his letter, are certainly less ambiguous than
Mr. Clay's, on this subject. In his letter to Mr.
Kane, Mr. Polk statea distinctly that he is in fa
vor of discriminating duties, airording reasona
ble incidental protection. The Baltimore Ame
rican, and the Patriot, of the same place, ridicule
the idea that we should place any confidence ill
the promises made by Mr. Polk and his friends,
and in order to convince us of our folly, quote the
opinions of some of the most ultra free trade pa
pers of the South, such as the Charleston Mercu
ry, the nullification organ of Mr. Calhoun.
That 'Mr. Clay's views in regard lo the
protective policy have been clear ami explicit
no intelligent man will honestly undertake to
affirm. Since the passage of the compromise
act of Kill, he has, in no instance, acknowl
edged himself in favor of a tariff" for protection.
He has invariably maintained that wc should
adhere to the principles of that act, and his
friends in the south, quoting these expressions,
insisted during thp last campaign, that Mr. Clay
was as much it not more favorable to free
trade than Mr. Polk. Mr. Clay'i letters for tho
Northern and Southern market could never
have been made to harmonine, and had he been
elecled, he would have Had no little trouble in
allaying these conflicting views
to Mr. Ornnson hesays, "Iik to revenue alone :
for the support of government. Do not raise
tho question of protection, which I had hoped
hnd been put to rpit." And in his letter to Mr.
M erriweiher of (ieorgia, in October. 1"13, he
reiterates the same opinion. It was net until
l l l, upon the eve of the election, that he ex
pressed himself in favor of ttie present tariff.
Had Mr. Clay been elected, and the Tariff
been rcealed by Congress, as it might have
been, w ith Am views of the veto power he must I
have signeo the bill. Mr. Clay, it may be
aaid, was compelled from necessity, to abandon
the protective policy in ISO, and yield to the
Compromise Act. This uiay all lie true, and we
are ready to believe it. Dot why should he in
sist, in ISPJ, upon carrying out the principles
of that act an act that twept every vestige of
the protective policy from the statute book,
when that necessity no longer existed ! These
are questions that are more easily askl than
answered, and we only put them In show that
the turiffwould not have been placed on a much
firmer basis than it now is, had Mr. Clay been
elected. We think Mr. Polk should be permit
ted to speak for himself, and not be condemned
for the viewsof others. And tlu reminds us
of Mr. I!, an intelligent Yankee friend, and a
good whig, who had a vest brought to him by
his tailor, hich did not seem to set well on him.
The tailor, taking hold of the garment, drew it
down in front, niying indignantly, "d it, give
the vest a chance." Mr. R. then deliberately
taking hold, said "now, d n il, give me a
chance also," and pulled it back lo its original
position. This is precisely the predicament of
Mr. Polk with the whig. They arc resolved to
put vest n him of their ow n iiii.king, with a
determination to cure any defect in the cut or
want of fit, by pulling and stretching it out of
all shape and proportion. Ilul Mr. Polk, we n
pine, will say "gentlemen, give me a chance
also," and pulling it to its proper )Ksit'on, will
show that the garment made hy whig tailor

We had several lectures, or rather series of ex
periments on Animal Nfpgnetism, by Dr. Hascl

were two young girls, Miss Mary Loomis and her
younger sister Gertrude. The oldest about 14,
and the youngest about 10 years ol age. Gertrude
was frequently put into a magnetic Bbiep, when
her Phrenological organs were touched and
brought into action, causing her to exhibit vari
ous emotions and passions, such as mirth, laugh
ter, singing, calculation, benevolence and destruc
tion. As we arc rather skeptical, until convinc
ed, wc can't say that our faith was mich strength
ened by these exhibitions. The Doctor also par-
alyzed Gertrude, by making several fierce passes
at her with the edge of his hand, at some distance
from her. She certainly played her part admira
bly, as she fell back suddenly, as stiffand non
elastic as an iricle in January. The Doctor then
put Miss Mary into a sleep for the purpose of
taking a Clairvoyant exploration. Mr. York
took her hand and accompanied her to his house,
going through it from garret to cellar, from
thence up the river bank to Mr. Hunter's house,
thence over the bridge to Northumberland,
thence over the bridge and on the Hill opposite,
