The Blood has hitherto been considered bv
Empivfps and others, as the great regulator of
the human system, and such is the devoted ot
the adherents to that erroneous doctrine, that
they content themselves with the simple posses
sion of this fallacious opinion-, without enquiring
int» the primary sources from whence Life,
Health, and Vigor emanate, and, vice versa,,
pain, sickness, disease and death.' Not so with
Du. Hunt, whose extensive research and prac
tical expericriQ&so eminentlyqualify him for the
profession of. which he has been one of the most
useful memhers. He contends—-and a moment’s
reflection will convince any reasoning mind of the
.correctness of his views—-that the stomach, liv
er, and the associated organs are the primary
•and great regulators of health, and that the blood
in very many instances is dependent oh these or
gans, ami that unless medicine reaches THE
ROOT OF THE DISEASE, the sufierficUti
anodynes usually?prescribedi*£erve but as foils
to cover lli,e raVageVbf-deep-Vontcd maladies.—
Omler these conviction's, at the expense of ye f *
of close application; the doctor has discovered a
medicine whose searching powers are irresisti
ble, and in prescribing, U Is with a knowledge of
us being a radical-cure in-the-various* discuses
already enumerated, even if applied in the most
critical cast's, but he does nut pretend to ascribe
to :
nUNT'S IiOTANEC PILLS
a supernatural agency, although from positive
proofs within the knowledge of hundreds he is
prepared to shew, that when every other earth
ly remedv has been given up,
HUNT'S BOTANIC PILLS
have never been known to fail in effecting.two
very gratifying results, that of raising from the
bed of sickness and disease those who have test
ed their efficacy, ami thus amply rewarding Dr.
Hunt for his long and anxious study to attain this
in the HkaLXsc Art. ’
The extraordinary success which has attend
ed the use of Hunt’s Botanic Pills, is
the best criterion of their superior virtues.
They have been the 6 means of raising a

The-passage of the teeth througt}the gums

cess'. _The gumsswell, the secretion of tlte'saliva’.

and sudden tits of crying, watching, starting in
its sleep, and spasm* c ? peculiar parts; the child
shrieks with extreme violence, and tht lists its
fingers into its mouth* If these precursory symp
toms are not speedily alleviated, spasmodic con
vulsions, universally supervene, and soon cause
the dissolution of the infant. If mothers who
have then' Utile babes ofHicted with these dis
tressing symptoms would apply the celebrated
American Soothing Syi up, which has preserved
hundreds of infants when thought past recovery,
from being suddenly attacked with that fatal
malady.CrmvuYsions, . V
This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds
vyhen thought past recovery, from convulsions.
As soon ns the Syrup is rubbed on the £ums, the
child will recover. This preparation is so inno
cent,so efficacious, and so pleasant, that no child
will refuse to let Sts gums be rubbed with.
When infanta are at the age of four months,
though there is no appearance of teeth, one hot
tie of the syrup should be used, on the gums to
.open the pores., Parents should never.be with
out the syrup nursery where there are
young children, for if a child Vyakes in the night
with'pamih the gums,'the Syrup immediately
gives ease, by opening the pores and healing the
gums; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers,

MANAGEMENT.— a Yankee story.
I have hearn folks say the' wimmin was
contrary: well they is a leetle so, blit if
you manage ena ritej bawl in here, and let
■em out there, you cun drive em along with
out whip or spur,,jest which way you want
em to go.
■\Vhen I lived down to G’torn, there was ix
good many fust'ra'te gals' down tbereiTbu f I
didn't take a likin'to any on em, fill Squire
Cummins cum down there to live. The
squire had a mighty purty-darter. I setl
, some of the gals was fust rate, bat Nancy
Cummins was fustraje, and a leetle'more.
There was many dressed finer and looked
.grander, but there'was sumthin jam about,
Nance, that they-.couldn't bold a candle to.
If a feller seed ner wunce, he couldn’t look
at another gal for a week. 1 took a likin to
her rife off, ’and we got as thick as thieves.
We had used to go to the same mectin, and
sot in the same pew. It took me to find the
sarins and hims for her, and we’d swell em
out in a manner, shocking to hardened sin
ners; and then we'd-mosey hum together,
While the gals and fcllerskcpt a lookin on as
though they’d- like to mix in. I’d always
stay to supper, and'the way she cood make
injun cakes, and the waV I wood slick cm
over with molasses, and put em away was
nothing to nobody.. She was 'dreadful civil
tew, always gettin somethin nice forme’. I
was the hub in love, and was goin for
it like a lokymotive. Well, things went on
this way for a‘spell, fill she'thought she had
me tight enough. Then .she.began to show
off kinder independent like. When I’tlgo
to the meetin, there Was no room in the ptwj
when she’d come out she’d streake off .with
another cliapi ahtTleave me suckin my fing-‘
era at the door. Instcd of sticken to me as
she used to do, she got cultin To’nnd with all
the fellers jest as if she Cared nothin about
me no more, none whatsomever, I got con
siderably riled, and theft I in out as well cum
to the end of it at wunce; so down I wenffo
have it out with her; there was a hull grist
of fellers th?'re. They seemed mily quiet
till 1 went in, then she got talkin all manner
of nonsense, sed nothin to me, and darned
little of that. I tried to keep my dander
down, but it twarn’t no use—l kept movin
about as if I had a pin in my trowsers. I
_swcat as if I Jvad been thrashin. My collar
hung down as if it had been bung over my
stock-to dry. I couldn’t stand it, so I clear
ed out as quick as I could, for I seed ’twas
no use to say nothin to her. I went strate
to bed-, and thought the matter over a spell;,
thinks I that gal is jest tryin of me; taint no
use of our playin possum; I’ll take the kink
out of her; if 1 dont fetch her out of that high
grass use me for sassage meat. I hearn tell
nf a boy wunce, that got to skewl late on
Sunday mornin; master scs, you tarnal slcep
in cretur, what kept you so late? Why, ses
the boy, it is so everlastin slippery out, I
couldn’t get along nohow, every step ! took
forrard, I went two steps backward; and I
couldn’t have got here at all, if I hadn’t
turned back to go tother way. . Now, that’s
jest my case. I have been puttin after that
fal for a considerable time. Now, thinks I,
’ll go tother.way—she’s been silting of me,
now I’ll slite her—what’s sass.for the goose
is ,sass for the gander. Well, I went no
more to Nancy’s. Next Sabbath, I slicked
myself up, and I dew say, when I got my
fixins on 1 took the shirt tail clean off of any
specimen of human nature in our parts. A
bout ineetin time off I put to.Gltham Dodge’s
—Patience Dodge was as nice a gal as vau’d
see twiit hero and yonder, any more than
she wasn’t jest like Nancy Cummins. E
phraim Massey Kad-llsed to go and sec her;
he was a clever feller, but he-was dreadful
jelus. Wellj I went tomeetin vyith Patience,
and Sot right afore Nancy; I clid’nt set my
eyes oh her till after me'etin; she had a fellow
with bar who had a blazinred head, and legs
like a pair of compassess; she had a face as
long, as-a grace afore a thanksgivin dinner.
I knowd who she was tliinkin about,.and
’twarn’t the chap with the red head nether.
.Wellj' I got hoein Patience about a spell.—
.Kept my eye on Nance, sed how the cat was
jumpin; she didn’t cut abput like she did;-
and look’d rather solemnly; she’d g’ih her
tew eyes .to kiss and inafco up. , I-kcptit up
until I liked to have got into a niess about
Patience. The critter tho't I was goinarter
her for good, and got as proud as a lame
turkey. Won day Efe cum down to our
place lookin as rathy as a malishy offiaer on

as' loud as a small thunderclap; fl’U be

Why, ses be, I come downtohave satisfac

she was jest as good its mine till-you come a

Now, if I’d- tuck that chist hum, I’d never
found that munny,:or if I did tlieyMhcenall

when she rite up and called mo a darned
fool. Well, scs I, Efe, that is hard, but
never you .mind that, jest go on, you cad get
her, and when you do get her, you can file
the rough edges off jest as you please; that

to look artcr Nance.''Next, day, tlouu I
went. Nancy was all alone. I axed her if
the squire was in, she said he warnt. Cos,
ses I, (makin believe I wanted him) our colt
sprained, his foot,-and I cum to see if the
squire wont lend me his mare to go to town.
She sed sheguessed ho Wood, better sit down
till the squire corned'in—down I sot; she
looked sort a strange, an my heart felt queer

with the squire. -We soon hitched traces to

TiVe Winter Fireside.— Each successive
day gives additional bitterness to the win
ter’s blast, and renders the -briglit blaze of
the doincstic health more inviting. Happy
are they wlip have it to retire to, and oh,
most miserable those wlio know it not.—
There is a charm in the social circle which
surrounds the family fireside’, that the cheer
less, childless tavern lounger, whose home
is the common 'sitting room of an inn, “with
his bed in No.—, knows nothing about.—
Heaven deliver lis, say we, from the horrors
of what wicked poets have called single
blessedness. Our object, however, in the
present paragraph’ is not to comment on or
describe the miseries of bachelors or the un
utterable wretchedness of old maids, but
rather to make a few remarks upon the cheer
ful blessings which encircle, particularly at
this season of the year, the hallowed altar of
peaceful, virtuous home.
The motives which commonly draw us
together around our own fireside, are among
the best which can animate—theriieart; and
the hearts which are influenced
by such motives are, we will venture to say,
the most deeply imbued with patriotism and
virtue. Wretched indeed is the man jvho,
from any cause; finds more pleasure’aihid t
the vulgarisms ind ribaldry of a noisy bar
room than atb,is own fireside. At home, fn
the midst of tiic cheerful circle, where the
free play of the natural affections assume the
most engaging air, misfortune or affliction
meet true consolation; or if these unwelcome
ininates be not there, innocence and mirth,
undisturbed by trouble, put on their most
enchanting forms. There age, in its graven
features, catches the light beaming from the
smiles of youth; youth, from its beaming
features, reflects the mellowing tints of chas
tening, age,.—There cxprossivc eloquence—
the true eloquence of the heart—addresses
itself to the pleasant recollections of the past;
or with sweet anticipations and bright hopes;
speaks rapturously of the future. There the
petulance or affected gallantry and the ino
roseness of assumed sanctity are softened
.down and refined to natural demonstrations
of true regard and quiet ’piety. Unruffled
by the extraneous turmoils of artificial dis
tinctions, bosom conveys to bosom, the cor
dial impulses.jof sympathy; the hallowed
names of kindled, in all their pleasing rela-:
lions, cast their spells around with magic
power; attractive charms are felt with pecu
liarand pervading force; the legend lends its
inferest.thelayitßgraceahdharmbhy. The
fireside of home, whether it be in the midrt
of thoseluxdries which are supported by vast
wealth, or encircled by the more humble com
forts won .by honest toil, is still the place
where the most cherished thoughts .of the
heartf.find an innocent and .touching voice.

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM'ENG*
LAND,
—By/the arrival'of the, packet ship South
America, Captain Daily, from Liverpool, we
have received London dates to the 22d in
clusive, being seven days later than those
brought by the Liverpool steamer.
The news is not of a very important char*
acter, and no events of moment have tran
spired since our last advices.
Cotton Market. —At Liverpool on the 18lK
ultimo, the sales were 7000 bales, of which
1500 were American, taken on speculation.
The prices of the previous week Were fully
sustained, and in. some instances 4d higher.
The prices "ranged from 6|d to Bd. On the
20th, the sales were less brisk, but prices
were steadily supported. About 4000 bags
were purchased, including 200 American for
export, and 300 for speculation.
Money Market. —On the 19th ultimo, the
London money market 'was apparently rath
er easier, the English funds being flrmey. and
money-plentiful for general purposes. Con
sols were at 90ifor money, and "90j to £•
for the account* and for- January 91i to' iy
Exchequer bills were’ at par at 2 per cent,
discount. In American securities there.was
little doing— -'flank'shar'es
were J6i6 per share, On the 21st ult. Con
suls and Exchequer Bills were each a Share
lower—little or no alteration in American
securities.
The suspension of the banks In Philadel
phia, New Orleans, &c. &c., is extensively
.commented upon in the London papers, and,
(as was the. case in those cities,) the efforts
and determination of .the New York Banks
to maintain thjeiv integrity, are derided, and
pronounced hopelessly futile,

of wheat for the six weeks preccdingtho 18 th

A correspondence had taken place be*
tween the Hon. D. Webster arid the. house
of Baring & Brothers,,on the .disputed point
whether the Separate States of the American
Union are empowered, constitutionally,, to
make loans, which Mr. Webstor is decided*-
ly of opinion they are competent.to do. -
This correspondence is contained in the
London Tunes of the 21st, though bearing .
date several days previous. In
It, afteFriiukirig the clearest possible reply
to llie questions that had been submitted to
him, Mr, Webster says:
"I hope I may be justified by existing cir
cumstances, to close this letter With the ex*
piesslon of an opinion of a more general na
ture. It is, that I believe the citizens of this
United States, like all honest men, regard
debts whether public or private, and wheth
er existing at home,or abroad, to bo of mor
al as well as legal obligation; and I trust I
may appeal to their history, from ihc mo
ment when these. States took their rank a
mong the nations of the .earth to the present
time, for proof that this,belief is well found
ed; and if it were possible that any of the
States should at any time so entirely lose
he'r self respect anfl -forget her duty as to vi
olate the faith solemnly pledged for her pe
cuniary engagements, I believe- there is no
country upon earth—not even that of the
injured creditors - —in which such a proceed
ing would meet with less countenance or in- .
dulgcnce than it would receive from the
greatmassoftheAmericanpeople;”
