▼ory popular with the Democracy of Pennsylvania!—
Judge Pabsoxs is a gentleman of known abilities, of
sterling integrity, of great energy of character, a firm
and uncompromising democrat, and a warm and de
voted friend of Governor Porter. During the memo
rable session of 1838—9, ho distinguished himself in
tho’ Senate of Pennsylvania, proving, in'debate,-an
Overmatch for the Pcnroses, the Pearsons and the
'Williamses, who attempted to crush him on his first
entrance into that body. Since that time he has gained
more popularity as President Judge of this District, in
the short space of time which he has been upon tho
‘Berith, than any other Judge within our recollection.
That he will discharge the duties of Secretary of the
Commonwealth with ability, and sustain tho measures
of our patriotic Chief Magistrate with energy and zeal,
none can doubt.

She ablest political writers in the State, a democrat of

The movement in tho -Senate, to-day, evinces a do*
t .'rminalion to carry out tho system of tho extra session.
The Secretary of the Treasury has applied, as has
been seen by his published letter to the .Committee of.
Ways and .Means of the House of Representatives, fot
an immediate supply of five millions of Treasury notqs.
The Secretary states that something more than thiee
millions will bo indispensable to m'ect the current ex
penses. The five millions are requiijcd to make tho
provision ample. When this proposition was before
tho House, >M'r. Gilmer of Virginia entered' into a!
full -exposition of the wants of the Treasury, and on'
the data of the Becrelaty, who asked lb 6 provision only
becauߣ,he had. nol been able to realize but about five
millions of the loan authorized at the extra ’session,

.. “Shoot xox.lt as xt iuu.” '" v
Mr. Editor :~lt is not pleasant (o animadvert on tbo
foible* of mankind. By exposing tho faults end follies
of othera we cost an implied censure on ourselves, as :
partaken of the same. bumati nature, and subject to
tbo same human frailty. He who Indulges continually {
in a spirit of detraction, and views the conduct of oth- I
ers with a jaundiced vision, gives the world good rea-1
son to suspect himself. “To the pure all is pure,” j
and the person of tho most corrupt mind is the tint to
discover,und the loudest to proclaim thto. peccadilloes I
of others. It is better to praise then to blame, but if 1
we cannot applaud, angry censure is tho worst method
for effecting a reformation. 'The.Common School Al>
tnanac says,'you can laugh men out of some things
vrhan you cannot mason them out of them, and
whether we have to deal, with those; things which are
criminal in themselves, or merely with the Weaknesses
of mankind, no weapon is more effectual than good
humored laughing. ' Those absurdities to bo observed
in the manners and customs of every community, for
c3ample> wquJ J present a .fair subject for this species
of correction— Habit has' blunted our perception of the
ludicrous as to many things which are hourly before
us; but could a native of some distant, planet bo sent
into our midst, as a missionary fromone of those cold
dink worlds whoso orbits are without our own, to learn
the fashions, and carry back'to the inhabitants of his I
benighted region a description of the dress, appearance, I
deportment, language and behaviour of this nether•
world, be would make a collection of oddities more
fantastical than all tire uncouth imaginings of a Dick
ens, or the delineations of a Cruikshank. What would
he bis merriment on seeing a modern coxcomb tricked
out in all the foppery that dry-goods and a skilful tailor
could furnish him? Ido not now by any means wish
to. accuse the young.men of our day of ostentation, or
to disapprove of any attire which they may deem be*
coming. ‘Every one whoso means will enable him
should assume the garb of a gentleman, and it is only
when that desire of conforming to the customs of the
Wtirtd leads to excess, and tho love of dress becomes a
passion; that the brainless fop becomes the object of;
contempt and ridicule as much to sensible men on
earth,'as he would be of astonishment to our stranger
from another planet, or to the man in the moon!
Far from thinking-that wo have fallen upon* evil
time?, I conceive that the fashions of dress at this
time are worthy of all ComigUndation. And in penn
ing a few paragraphs on that subject, instead of railing
at the singularities and follies of our youth, 1 have the
pleasant task of approving of every thing, and of vin
dicating the superiority of the present style of dress
oVer all other fashions which have heretofore had thelf

\But I promised to say something about the fashions,
Wpcn I turned aside to give this short account of my
wf. I lake Uos an evidence of the Caprice os
well os of the power of tl|o goddess whom we worship,
tHdt whereas she once dictated that we should culti
vate whiskers, she now says it shall be a beard. That
part of the human .face divine which a little while
since was protected by the hairy covering which nature
has furnished, is now smoothly shaved, and the loca
tion of those superb appendages is transferred from the
cheek to the chin. A superficial observer would see
nothing more in this chortge than the mere'freak of
fashion, whereas a discovering mind, will find in it
abundance of mystery. It would be improper for me
to divulge in this public manner all those secrets of the
gay world which are only known to the exclusives, to
those whoso claims'to rank and fashion entitle them hi
a full disclosure; Indeed it is on act of no small favor
to the public, that I have thus far condescended as to
make thin partial communication; But inasmuch as
I have so far laid aside my dignity of character dS to
discourse with the vulgdr public, I will even sloop
still lower,, by imparting a moat valuable plebcbf im
formation; and one which the unassisted ingenuity of
the wisesfcould never dlscoVdr, td’wit, the “rationaie
•of the fashionable whiskers: They are, intended as a
.hedge by which gentlemen of. our stamp may bo dis
tinguished' from the common herd, and are .at the
dame time erablcmatical of our intellectual endowments*
A profile view of one of us will immediately suggest
to a person of ordinary capacity a remarkable re/tyfi
blance to a domealic quadrupcd, and hocannotbut ad-:
mire our taste m~BelectlmT a prototype anil the suc
cess of our imitation. The ahalogy holds good In
every particular. The goat ia a perfectly useless ani
mal, and we are equally unprofitable members of
ciety. It is characterized by stupidity and obstinacy,
and is partial id perfume; We in like mariner possess
those virtues, and are known as very nice smelling
young men. In short the goat bears (he same relation
to other animals, that .dandles do to the race of man
kind: . -...-V,. -- ■
1 claim to myself ’the honor of an improvement in
the nether garments of gentlemen, which is now in
vogue. But, alas, like, many other benefactors of man*
kind; I have never yet deceived from an ungrateful
world the ftill credit which my disinterested phtlan*
thropy deserved: By dispensing with the. urfe of pack:
eta a very useful purpose Is subserved; Itt : the waht
of d pocket we find d cdpital oxdise for the want of k
pHrse; And iiidecd aS many of diir class had nothing
to put in them, they had with respect to them become
entirely unnecessary*
The same principle will expKibulioeliortncssoftlic
modcmcloaks. Art there arc a few members of our
fraternity, whoso ambition exceeds their means, a Cur
tailmcnl was made of the mantle In order that it
might be accommodated to tho .embarrassed state of
their finances. While this fashion is favorable to lho
; display of a good calf, (and we have undoubtedly as
much of that about tis its most young men,) it is ac
companied with a great saving of broad cloth, which
is no small matter to persons' of limited revenue.
Anatomists and naturalists toll us. <)f the ingenious
manner in which nature hides the blemishes, and sup.

community not being prepared fbr so extraordinary
mild weather, predisposes to a'.Species of impatience
with, some who would bq operating; and this .dullness
with such becomes gfcntly aggravated by ah irksome
ness, which Is its constant attendant,

ease. Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Fills being
a direct. purifier Of the blood, arid a clcanscr of the
stomach and bowels, will be found singhlafly effective,
not only td prevctll but to cute diseases; because they
remove from the body that which produces a foul state
of blood, before it has time to produce gangrene or
any other fdtal bHecUl;

From thtj Quack Syrups and Paragoric Compounds

This fact has-become apparent to the lliousshds
who have experienced the fatal cflbcls of such medi
