VANS* PILLS have the enviable dlctinclion of
an universal approbation, '1 hey are. perhaps
the only medicine publicly advertised that has
the-full- iir.d-uuncser.ved -testimony-ofnrcdical
men in its favor, if not the only one which gives
full satisfaction to its purchases. Dr. W. Evans
has the satisfaction of knowing that his
CAMOMILE OK TONIC PILLS
are not only regularly recommended and . pre
scribed by rife most experienced, physicians in
their daily practice, but also taken by those
gentlemen themselves whenever thdy feel,, the
symptoms of those diseases in _ which-they well
know them to be efficacious. He knows this to
be generally the case In New York, PliiUulel
phia, Albany* Boston, and other large cities im
which they have an extensive sale. . That they
should thus conquer professional prejudice and
interested-opposition, and secure the agency of
the most eminent and best ii'ifomfeil physicians
in the country to render them useful to all clash
es, can only be fairly ascribed to their undenia

1817, on this head:. 1 . . : - ‘
‘.‘As the important advantages of the mili

“That, to secure this, the contemplated
military instruction should be given in’dis
tinct schools established for that purpose,
but that it should form a branch of education,
in every school in the United States.
“That a corps of military instructors
should be formed to attend to the gymnastic
and elementary part of education in every
school in the United States, whilst the
more scientific part of the art of war should
be communicated by professors of llic.tactics,

Report, Jan. 19th 1817. ■ :
Here we have 1 a body of one'hundred
thousand young men exclusively, “excited

ly, JHarrison designed should be under the

dium of communicating the Presidents or

Mr. Poinsett’s plan also proposed classifi

The .classification of Mr. Poinsett con

led- out in emergency through the Executive
of the State—one hundreff thousand men
only to undergo traimpg.probably teridays
in a year,,for lour years—then to remain as

elementary part of J educatidn ” in one class
of the schools, and “the mote scientific part
of war, in a. class of military institutions, ’
"the whole expense of the establishment to
be borne by the public treasury.” . AVhat the,
cost of this universal military education
would amount to, it is,iinpossible Torus to
say. We .think that the pay of a private
would hardly defray the tuition bill of each
military scholar. -Upon the supposition that
it would take this sum, the effect would be
of maintaining ail. the male minors in the
country, as a standing army. The outlay
would scarcely be less. Mr. Poinsett’s
scheme is at least free, from this prodigal
-waste:.
Harrison’s plan in keeping up the militia,
“as it now exists,, for the ordinary duties
of muster discipline ,” would burden all
subject to that duty, throughout the .Union,
to the expense of arms and accoutrements,
militia fines, loss of time, &c. All (Ids is
done away with in Mr. Poinsett’s proposi
tion.. By mustering the portions of inililin
near .arsenals' placet! in convenient situations.
Mr. Poinsett would have the active class of
militia perfectly armed on pai-ado, without
expense to them. ,
Harrison’s militia establishment (in addi
tion to the old system. whiclr.he.would.still
"keep up) consists of the junior or middle
class, of .100,000 young men, to .be trained
for one month. For the .pay of these, he
makes no. provision. But submitted, with
his report, (we use his own words,) “esti
mates of the expense of training; the officers
and sergeants of the militia of the United
States.' *The estimates are made on a sup-’
posed number of one httndred thousand
men, divided equally, as nearly as may he,
into twenty-foe brigades .”
He give? then the details—for which we
have not room, upon the supposition that
Congress would allow “fair pay;” and he
thus sums up.the aggregated .-
.“ Estimating the_ whole United-‘Stales,
militia at a million, (hen the total expense of
training the officers of the militia would be
some hundred thousand:dollars less than two
millions” ' :
Tlie militia is now nearly double the num
ber for wliich.llarrisun estimated. Thecsti-,
mate to pay for training the officers would,,
therefore, now be nearly four millions! ~
„ He, however, submitted another estimate,
upon the supposition that Congress would
not allow so much on a basis which he thus
gives: - "
“The following estimate is made on the
supposition of the officers receiving only hqll
pay. The estimate proceeds, however, upon
a supposition that no officer is to receive less
than thirty dollars per month, and the ser
geants full pay and rations.” .
After giving the details, he sums up the
cost of training the officers at “one million
FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT THOUSAND
dollars!”, .
Mr. Poinsett’s estimate,'which provided
to pay the men, as Well as the officers, for
their loss of time when training, amounted
to a iiaLf million only!!
So much for the burdens which the Harri
son system and that of the Secretary .would
impose upon the Treasury and the class in
our country subject.to militia duty. -
But there is.another point of comparison
which distinguishes- the political origin of
tho two plans. , , "
■ Harrison’s plan laid it down as fundamen
tal:-'' v-
; ■''.‘That. the President should,-in all cases,
address his .orders immediately to sohie of
ficer of the militia, and not to the EXECU
TIVE of any state; 'The GOVERNOR of
a Slate.islSO't'd inililid officer, BOtINH to
oßhEna'of the President; he can
hotbeltied orders, and
punished by the sentence of a court martial.”
v. This certainly smacks of the school which 1
i first-pihhed. the black cockade on. Harrison’s
jhat. Thcwliole of-.it,. indeed, from the
' tuition ih the. schoois—the.paying, the pffi

dent to conitnand through an officer whom he
may .punish fordisobedience “by court mar
tialj”.beat:s the impress of the standing army
in which Harrison' held his- commission in
the days of the; alien and.sedition laws.
. Mf. Toinsctt’s plan enables the Chief
Magistrate- of.sthe- nation to command,
.through the Chief Magistrate ofa State; and
in this he discriminates the Administration
which would maintain State Rights from that
which., would renew the Federal era. It
must hot berforgolten that Harrison, on the
3d of Fcbruary last, in a letter to the Louis
ville Legion, which w f ~ ~ .blished

to his scheme which we have here analyzed,'

the nature of the accident, turned about and
took the Erie in tow. ■ A passenger on board

scalded men presented a horrid appearance.
Part of their bodies looked like boiled incat,
their faces blackened by the soot of
their eyes scalded, their hair, crisp and dry
as ifdead, and their mouths raw and bloody.
All thosg injured were in the hole, and the
pipe burst in such a way as to force the steam

of mind to throw himself instantly flat bn the
face, and the greater portion of the steam
passed over him without doing essential in

arm, and Baby in the ecstacy of his fear,
jumped over board himself. Hcsunk before

OUTRAGE.
du'r citizens have very frequently within
the last two. years, been subjected to gross
insults from the insolent slaves of ber Majes
ty On the opposite 'shore in passing up and
down the Niagara river. On Monday, as a
large company of Jadics.apd.gentleinen w.cre
returning to this fcity front a pleasure excur
sion to the Falls, in the steamboat Chesa
peake) they were fii;ed into by a company of
blacks Who arc kept stationed opposite the
point:where the channel approaches nearest
; tothe-CanaihrahDrß; The company had en
joyed fine amusement, and were still enjoy
ing themselves in great good humor on board
the boat. Music and dancing, occupied the
majority,’’whilst others amused' themselves
by proinonadirigond conversation) What,
could have induced these savages to fire into'
the boat is riot-known, unless they should
have taken, the merriment of the company as
disrespectful to their sable dignities) . Seven
muskets balls were fired,, some of which
struck different parts of the boat,- and some
barely missed the heads of some of the com
pany on board.
This is ah outrage that must not, cannot,
will not be any farther suffered.; -The people
of Buffalo will not submit to such outrages
as-ttiesc so long as thriy have physical po.w
te to punish .them. Ave should exceedingly
regret the necessity that Would compel our
citizens tojchastise this band of black scoun
drels who scent to ‘have-been posted at that
particular point for no good; intent.,; And
we hope that the Canadian Government will
think proper to punish the offenders as such
conduct.liesqrves.’and.prevent a.rccurrence
of the outrage. They know their duty in
this respcctj aiid knowing if, will be expec
ted to perform it. -.lf, however, such'Should,
not be the case, and our citizens suffer fur

-A MotiierVLove. —This glorious prin
cipal of the human breast whs finely illus
trated a few weeks since in England. A poor
woman, living near Cbasowater, missed ber
child, a little boy about two years old, and
after a few minutes search discovered him
at the bottom of a well 12 feet deep, contain
ing eight feet of water, The agonized parent,
without the slightest hesitation, sprang.into
the well; when through her falling into the
water, the child was raised towards the sur
face and she was enabled to take hold of it.
For a long while she managed by clinging to
a prnjecfing stone to keep licrself and the lit
tle boy above water, and at length her cries
which were heard by a congregation'll t a chap
el .vqUnrtpr of a mile off brought some young
tnen to her assistance, who soon rescued both
tlie~motlicr"and‘ her child' from their perilous
situation. ■ ■
• Apropos.— The following anecdote is rjtiild
applicable to both'of the great political par- 1
tics of'Jhe present day, who are continually
assailing each other through the medium of
of the press. It was tl)c late Judge Olin.ol
Vermont, who gave the sarcastic reply to
the querist:—r
A Mr. T., though not personally acquaint
ed with] the Judge, knew him to be one of
the'most influential members of the Icgisla
ture.and of politics opposed to his own - —■
Boing once informed that the Judge was then
at tliewillage stage house, Mr. T, prdceeded
thither and cominenccd-’abnsing the - Judge,
inaloud andboisterousconversation with the
other, on account of some of his public acts.
The' remarks of Mi - '. T. being gradually so
shaped that it became necessary for the Judge
to notice them, he quietly said—
" Sir, you remind me of a little dog my
father had, when 1 was a boy, that used to.
go out o’,nights and bark-.at thermion.’’
“And what thenf ’’ asked Mr. T.
"Nothing more than the moon kept on
shining,” replied. the Judge, 'as he quietly
walked out and seated himself in the staged’
John - . —We have thought that this ancient
name would be handed down to the latest
generation, and We, now doubt not that the
latest inhabitant of this world, .when its bu
siness is wountl.tpa close, will be a" John,’*
and in the world to come, the last name on
the list of debtors to grace will be a “John;’*
we inffr this from the rapid increase of
"Johns,” and we fear that the name “John”
.will be given to every body. Step into the
street and the first name you hear is “John;”
go into the crowd, and “John” is the first
to greet you; I(l'any thingis wanted, just call
"John;” a burglary committed, “John” has
done it; a wedding on hand, “John”is a pat
ty: a defalcation, “John” is off to Texas; a
in the street, “John” is its author; slan
der going the rounds, “John’’ is its retailer;
a loafer brought before the Police Court,
“why is that you; John?” a witness wanted,
call .“John;” a funeral invitation, “Ah, poor
John is dead;” a mob raised, “John” is at
its head; a writ to be served, “John” is the
very man, no other name will answer.. Hea
ven be praised that our naipe is not “John.”
Oh, John, John, what ri black list will appear
against thee at the day of reckoning.

an action of breach of promise, against a

breach of promise of marriage. The chief
evidence was, that, the said pedagogue had
