SOOTHING SYRUP,
FOR CHILDREN TEETHING .
To Mothers arid Nurses'.
The passage.of the teeth through the gums
produces troublesome and dangerous symptoms.
It is known by mothers that there is great irrk
tali on in the mouth and gums during this pro
cess. The gumsswell, the secretion of thesuliva
is increased, the child is seized with frequent
and sudden fits of crying, watching, starting in
its sleep, and spasms cf peculiar parts; the child
shrieks with extreme violence, and thtusts its
fingers into its mouth. If these precursary symp
loms*ar£ not speedily alleviated, spasmodic con
vulsions 'universally supervene, and. soon cause
the’dissolution of the infant. If v mothers who
have their little babes nfflicted with these dis
tressing symptoms would apply the celebrated
Ameilcan Soothing Syrup, which hhs preserved
hundreds of infants when thought past recovery,
from- being suddenly attacked with that fatal
malady convulsions.
This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds
j/hen thought past recovery, from convulsions.
'As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the
child will recover. This preparation is so inno
cent, so cfiicacijous, and so pleasant, that no child
will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it.—
When infants are at the age of four months,
though there is no appearance of teeth, one bot
tle of the syrup should be used on the gums to
open the pores. Parents should never be with
out the syrup in the nursery where there arc
young children, for if a child wakes in'the night
With pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately
gives ease, by opening the pores and healing the
gums; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers,

"OCR COUNTRY RIGHT OR WRONG.”
BROUGHAM’S PORTRAIT OF
FRANKLIN.
The following admirable, sketch of the
philosopher is from a new work
by Lord Brougham, recently published in
London, entitled—“ Statesmen in the time
of George III.” It has not yet been pub
lished in this country.
One of . the remarkable men certainly of
our times as a politician, or of. any age as a
philosopher, was Franklin; who also stands
Sftlqne in combining together these two char
acters, the greatest that man can sustain,
and in this, that having borne the first part
in enlarging science by one of the greatest
discoveries ever made, he bore" the Acond
part in founding one of the greatest empires,
in the world.
In this truly great man every thing seems
:o concur that goes towards the constitution
of exalted merit. First he was the architect
of his own fortune. Born in the humblest
station, he raised himself by his talents and
his industry, first to the place in .society
which may be attained with the help only of
ordinary abilities, greaLjipplication & good
luck; but dext to the loftier heights, which a
daring and happy genius, alone can scale;
and the poor-printer’s boy, who at one peri
od of his life had no covering to shelter his
head from the dews of night, rent in twain
the proud dominion of England, and lived
to be the ambassador of a commonwealth
which he had formed, at the court of the
haughty monarch of France, who had been
its ally.
Then, he hod been tried by prosperity as
well as adverse, fortune, and had passed un
hurt.through'the perijs of both. No ordin
ary apprentice, no commonplace journeyman
ever laid the foundations of his independ
ence in habits of industry and temperance
ipore deep' than, he did, whose_ genius .vyas 1
afterwards to rank with the Gallileos and
Newtons of the old world.. No patricah
born to shine in court, or assist at the coun
cils of monarchs, ever bore his honors in a
lofty station more easily, was less spoilt
by the enjoyment of them, than this common
workman did when negoeiating with royal
.representatives, or caressed by all the beau
ty and fashion of the most brilliant court in
Europe.
Again, he was self taught in oil he knew.
His hours of study were stolen from those of
siceplimiLofnicals.-or gainedbv
ious contrivance for reading while the work
of his daily calling went on. Assisted by
none of the helps which affluence tenders to
the studies of the rich, he had to supply the
place of tutors by redoubled diligence, and
of commentaries, by repeated peTusal. Nay,
the.possession of books was,to be obtained
by copying what 'the art which he himself
exercised, furnished easily to others.
Next, the circumstances under which eth
ers succumb he made to yield, and bent to
his own successful leader of a
revolt that ended in complete triumph after
appearing desperate for years; a great dis
coverer in philosophy without the ordinary
helps to knowledge; a writer famed for his
chaste style without a classical education; a
skilful negociator, though never bred to pol
itics; ending as a favorite, nay, a pattern of
fashion' when tlte guest of frivolous Courts,
tl;e life.which he had begun in garrets and'
in Work-shops.
Lastly, combinations offaculties, in others
deemed impossible, appeared easy and natu
ral in him. The philosopher, delighted in
Speculation, was also eminently a man of ac
tion. Ingenious reasoning, refined and sub
tle consultation, were in him combinedwith
prompt resolution, and inflexible firmnessxif
purpose. To a lively fancy, he joined a
learned and deep reflection; his original.and
inventive genius stooped to the convenient
alliance of the.most ordinary 1 prudence in
everyilay“alfairlTllic mirnTfliat soared above
the clouds, and was conversant with the
loftiest of human contemplations disdained
not to make proverbs and feign parables for
the guidance of apprenticed youths and ser
vile maidens; and the hands that sketched a
Tree constitution. for a whole continent, or
drew down the lightning from heaven, easily
and cheerfully lent,themselves to simplify,
the nparalus by which truths were to be il
lustrated, or discdvcriesjpufsued.
- His discoveries were made with hardly
any apparatus at all; and if, at any time he
had been led to employ instruments of a
somewhat lessmrdinary description, he nev
er rested satisfied until he had, as it were,
afterwards translatcd the process, by resolv
ing the-problem with such simple machinery, 1
-that you might say he had- done it wholly
unaided by apparatus.' The experiments by.
which the identity of lightning and electri
city was demonstrated; were made with a
sheet of brown .paper, a bit of twine, a silk
thread, and an iron key. •
Upon the integrity of this, man, whether
in.public or private life, there rests no stain.
Strictly honest, and even Scrupulously punc
tual in all his dealings; : he preserved in" the
highest fortune that regulanty which he had
practised as well as inculcated in the lowest.
In domestic life he‘was faultless, and in
the intercourse gfjSociety, delightful. There
was a constant good humor and’ a playful
wit, easy and of higli relish, without any am
bition to sliine, the natural, fruit of his livery
good sense. and'his
cheerful temper;, that gave his conversation
an unspeakable charm, and alike suited every
circle from the humblest to the most elevated,
f With all his strong opinions, so often sol
emnly declared, so imperishably recorded in
his deads, he retained a tolerance for those
who differed with him, which could not be
surpassed in men whose principles, hang so
loosely about them, as to be taken iip for a
convenient cloak, and laid down when found
to impede, their progress, 'tin hia family he
was'every thing that worth, warm affections,
and sound- prudence could contribute, to
make .a man both useful and amiable,
spected and beloved. •. In religion he would
be reckoned by many a latitudmarian; yet ft
is certain that hia mind was imbued with'a

deep sense of the Divine perfections, a con
stant.impression of our accountable nature,
and a lively hope of future enjoyment. A'c
cordingly Ids death-bed, the, test of both
faith and works, was easy and. placid, re
signed and devout, and indicated at once an
unflinching retrospect of the past, and a
comfortable assurance of the future.
If we turn from the truly great man whom
we. have been contemplating, to his celebra
ted contemporary, in the Old World, (Fred
erick the Great,) who only affected the phil
osophy that Franklin possessed, and employ:
cd his talents .for civd and military affairs,
in extinguishing that independence which
Franklin’s life was consecrated to establish,
the contrast is marvellous indeed, between
the Monarch and the 1 Printer.
From the iV. Y. Journal of Commerce.'
IMPARTIAL WHIG VIEWS AS TO
THE NEW JERSEY CASE.
Difficulty was apprehended from this Jer
sey case, ns the columns of every newspaper
will attest, notOn account, of the prevalence
of .any revolutionary spirit,' but of a strong
predilection on the part of the public, to
carry out the popular will, as fairly express
ed, in opposition to mere verbal and legal
technicalities; It is in the nature of our in
stitutions, founded as they are. on free and
almostuhiveraal suffrage, to facilitate'instcad
of thwarting the expression of the public
will; and we must change our institutions,
radically change them, before we can ven
ture, upon any legal artifice, to set aside an
election, by the formalities of seals and com-
lt could not be done in England
even in the times of James I. when preroga
tive was,a good deal less limited than now,
and when it was often brought to bear upon
election returns and parliamentary privileges.
So far as the clerks roll in our Congress is
concerned,., it is generally made up from
newspaper reports—very few members ever
bringing with 'them'their certificates. The
Clerk’s list is nothing therefore, but (he evi
dence that an election is a matter of public
notoriety.. If a certificate be produced,, it
is only prime facie evidence of a title to a
seat; (or, after all, the House is to judge of
the returns and’ elections of its members.—
But this prima' facie evidence is good until
it is disputed, and no longer. .
In the Jersey case, one set of the members
were certified by the Secretary of State and
-the-judges-of thc - elcction, as Iraving been
duly elected; and, in addition to this, they
had jn’their favor public notoriety—the com
mon consent that they were.e'lected. The
other set brought a commission from the
Governor, but tliis same Governor, in a mes
age to the Legislature had acknowledged
that his certificate was of no avail; and that
the returns will be judged of by Cotigress,
who would the electors or the elec
ted to be deprived ot their rights. Now it
could hardly be expected of any Clerk to un
dertake to put on his list either of these
claiming parties; but if compelled to judge
between them, he must, according to the
principle on winch his roll is made oul, put
down the party that was backed by the com
mon consent to his election. To suppose
that Congress .would "be governed altogether
by a mere technicality in their decision would'
be absurd, especially when it is made their
duty, by the Constitution, to go into the
merits of (he return and of the election.—
Gut it is said that the certified members could
be superseded, in due course of proceedings,
towards the end of the Congress, after having
elected a speaker and participated in legis
lation, and done all'tiiaT -was expected of
them to’do, under their commission and
“broad seal.” Very true; and this would
answer every purpose, if we could only get
Congress and the. people of New Jersey, and
the public generally, to assent to it. But it
is hard, and I- hope always will be, to get
Congress to set their face against the positive
and well known sense of the public; and
equally hard to substitute, in the estimation
ol the people, a Governor’s certificate for a
free election.
An error has generally prevailed that the
House could not decide upon ail election re
turn prior to the election of-a Speaker. It
is perfectly within its power to decide upon
any question toiichingitselfand its privileges;
ns suuh as a quorum is obtained, though it
cannot communicatc with the ,other branch
of Congress without a Speaker.
