<‘Efp ect denied or controverted, that
liich , canno hin2 in the present policy of

uginia dec j^ ose political and internal
jvaocenies have elevated some of

T ' n '- r 'L'«irs in rank, wealth, and apparent
« r 1 . , n( j if the same causes continue
ro! Caie'during anolher such a period, (as
lop 'n all probability will, unless we are
hE {j from our lethargy,) the State of Ohio,
r the youngest in the Union, and formed
“"nhe wild “fragments of Virginia, bids
rival in population the'Ancient Do
],r o° n ii«elf. With these facts staring us in
Trace, h becomes the duty of every friend
■W„inia to pause and reflect, whether there
“ »-itf any just cause for the foundation of
u S ate pride which we have hitherto cher
ry. and if not, to endeavor to point out
T,e of the causes of this retardation of the
r-nenl prosperity.
■•There can be no doubt that Slavery, that
j Er t mass of our population, is one great
aose of all our misfortunes; for that is the
i height which mars all enterprise, and
all 'the wheels of our political machine.
;° man who has given the subject proper
will deny that if Virginia could
| , anv means exchange the whole number
,f JJgf blacks for one-half that number of
irbites, she would then be ready to take a
fr start in that race of active improvements,
off tunning by most of the free Slates.
Ej; encumbered- as she is with her black
M-lilation, with 'a prospect of that encum
[nnce increasing to a considerable degree,
,i, ivill find more occasion to watch than
o improve her condition, under her present
ifs'em.
‘■Slavery, even in its mildest form, is still
itnd of civil warfare, where the servant
Kiotms but half the ordinary work of free
hand pilfer all they can with safely be-
It is useless to expect pure honesty
teiout pure morality ; and who will deny
that the w hole iniercourse between-masters
sad slaves consists in a demand for gain and
prove obedience on the one hand, and au
ibaiv on the other 1 Th® sooner, therefore,
«e make the beginning of an attempt ItM-e-
Sifieourselves from this grievance, the sooner
we shall discover our true, and rely on our
an resources; and thenceforward be pre
juretf to advance, with confidence and rapid
i:t, in the enviable contest for improvements;
S'e have too long done nothing more than
talk and lament the existence of this ac
inowledged evifj founded on a disregard of
i:| first principle 1 ;, 'ah initio and the world
r.jn rxpecis some evidence of
■amity, and longs to see the commencement

We mentioned that on Wednesday nighl
be rain came down in torrents, and that a
loung, man named Adam McCurdy had losl
In's life on a fish basket. The circumstances
attending his death were of the most harrow,
mg kind, he having held on to the basket
for two long hours, which must have teen
rears in him on the brink of eternity, during
ail which time ihe turbid waters were grade
slly rising higher and higher, until at losl,
conscious that his mortal careeron earth was
closing, he said, “Good bye—l can hold on
m longer,” and was swept into eternity.—
The young man who had been with him sue
eroded in reaching the shore when the water
Enl rose, and gave the alarm. Several
neighbors were soon gathered on the shore,
and various ineffi-ciual efforts made to rescue
him—among them an attempt to swim a
horse, throning ropes, &c., but the only
method that could have saved him was un
harfdy not thought of, namely, carrying a
tope across die bridge, and, with persons on
ocb side 0 f (he stream, moving upwards
wil it would have cniffe in contact with his

<te exception of his overcoat, which was

General Winfield Scott, who is now
stopping at West Point, met with a severe
accident last week, which may confine him to
his bed for some time. He was about at
tending a dinner party given by Colonel De
lafield, when, on going down the stairs, his
foot slipped and he fell to the bottom. Ow.
ing to the bullet in his shoulder and the
swordtwound in his arm, he was unable to
arrest his flight, and the fall was severe. To
a person of his advanced years and large
frame this is ' a most serious affair. The
General was taken to his bed, cupped and
leeched, and though he feels better, he is still
suffering intense pain. This accident to the
old General will be regretted throughout the
country.

WHERE the above preparation is known, it Is so well es
tablishcd as an infallible Remedy for tho cure of—
Coccus. Colds, Sorb Throat, Hoarseness, Bronchitis. Spit
tinq or Blood, Pain in the Breast,. Croup, Whooping Cough,
and every form of Pulmonary Complaint, that it were a work
of supererogation to speak of its merits.
Discovered by a celebrated physician more than twenty
years since, it has by the wonderful cures it has effected been
constantly appreciating in public favor, until its use and its
use and its reputation aro alike universal; and it is now well
known and cherished by all (and their “name is legion”) who
have been restored to health by its use as the Great Remedy
for all tho diseases which it professes to cure.
Sir James Clarke, physician to Queen Victoria, has given
it as his opinion that
CONSUMPTION CAN BE C VRED.
The whole history of this medicine fully confirms the opin
ion of that eminent man. Thousands can te«tify, and have
testified, that when ail other remedies had failed, this had
completely cured: that when the sufferer had well nigh des
paired, this bad afforded immediate relief; that when the
physician had pronounced the disease incurable, this has re
moved itentirely.
The virtues of this Balsam are alike applicable to cure a
slight cojd or a CosmtMßD Consumption, and its power as a
safe, certain, speedy, pleasant and effectual remedy cannot be
equalled.
ftjUCvcnoNf Purchase none unless it has the written
signature of “I. Butts'* on the wrapper, as well as the print

NEW ENGLAND SETTLEMENT.
EARE OPPORTUNITY.—TO ALL WANTING FARMS—
in & healthy place, twenty-five miles from Philadelphia
on the Camden and Atlantic railroad. New Jersey. An old
estate has recently been opened for sale, and the first division
of 10,000 acres divided up into farms of twenty acres and
upwards. The soil is of the best quality for the production
ot fruits, grains, 4c. The price is $l5 to $2O per acres, pay
able In easy quarter yearly instalments, within a term of
four years with interest. The terms are made easy, In order
to insure the rapid improvement of the land, by enabling
every industrious man to buy a farm. It is now being ex
tensively Improved by good roads, and some of the best citi
zens from New England and the Middle States arc^ erecting
large improvements. It is a scene of the greatest improve
ment out of Philadelphia. Seventy-five houses have been
built in four months. Practical farmers and business men
from the length and breadth of the Union ore settling there.
It is on important business place, on account of its being In
the midst of a great market. Every article raised upon this
land finds an immediate sale. The water is cxcellec t, and no
such thing as fever is known.
The soil is a sandy or clay loam, with a clay bottom and
retentive of manures. It is free of stones and easily worked
It abounds largely in the phosphates, and each is its fertility
that from the crops produced both upon this land and the
large area adjoining under cultivation, it will be fonnd not to
be excelled anywhere imtbe production of crops most adapt
ed to its market.
The reader may be well aware that the earliest and the
best fruits and vegetables come from New Jersey, which are
annually exported to tho amount of millions of dollars. The
land, besides being accessible in every way for fertilizers, has
an abundant supply of the best quality of muck manure.
Lumber and building materials can be had on the spot at a
cheap price, from the mills. Other mills are now being open
ed, and brickyards being started on the ground. A person
can pdt up a frame tenement for present convenience for one
hundred dollars. On account of tho extensive emigration,
this Is 1 , tlie best course to pursue in order to get a place to Uve
In at first. Carpenters and builders are on hand to put np
houses on the best terms.
lu settling hero the emigrant has many advantages. Be
is within a few hours’ ride of the great cities In the Middle
States and New England; he is near bis old friends and as
sociations ; he is in a settled country, where every improve
ment and comfort of civilization is at band; he is in a healthy
place, and is not subject to the certainty of losing the greater
part of his family and Uia own health by those malignant
fevers which make the graves of so many millions of young
and hardy in far off regions away from home and friends.—
Besides, ho has a mild climate nnd an open winter.
There arc three trains daily to Philadelphia, and to all those
who Improve tho Railroad company gives a free ticket.
The reader will at once be struck with the advantages here
presented, and ask' himself why the property has not been
token np before. The reason in, it was never thrown in the
market; and unless these statements were correct, no one
would be invited to examine tho land before purchasing.—
This all are expected to do. They will see the land under
cultivation; they will meet persons no doubt from their own
neighborhood; they will witness the improvements, and can
judge of tho character of the population. Persons should
come prepared to purchase, as many are locating, and loca
tions are not held on refusal.

YIELDING to the earnest felicitation of nnmerousfrionds

PENDENT CANDIDATE for the office of Sheriff. I rely up
on no party exclusively for support, but appeal directly to
my fellow citizens. If they prefer to give mo their votes, I
shall bo grateful; if they see fit to vote against me, it Is their
privilege to do so, and I shall not complain. Should a major
ity of the people, setting aside party distinctions and preju
dices, como to my support, and elect me Sheriff, I will dis
charge the duties of the office to the best of my ability, re
membering always that every men has rights, ami that wealth
and power are no excuse for the practice of injustice and
oppression. JOHN W. BAILEY.
