Panic Staxisto.—Agaia, as in 1833. and 1336
and 1840, are the whig presses engaged in the cruel
and villainous bushiest of panic-making Again are
tberatteropting, by &lee statements and gloomy pre
diction*, to punish'those lurheenthey 'could not cur
ropa—tospreael gloom end disaster over the Isod--.in
short, to ruin the country because they cannot rule
it. The Gazette alibis morning has extracts from
minty whig papers in various parts of the country,
&ow i ngbow certain improvements were contemplated ,
which are now abandoned because of the election of
Col. Potx. Of course we take these statements with
many grains of allowance, but if they are cot rect,they
prase that the persons who suffer the result of the
election thus to interfere with or unsettle their business
plans, to be either knaves or fools, ur both—knaves, if
they do these things with the hops of producing polit 1
icil effect—and fouls, if they think that such puny - ef
'
forts can materially affect or change the curtest of
&fairs in this great count' y.
We are amused with the attempts to create a panic
in this vicinity. "W hat's the news?" inquires* quiet
rain of one of your not y panakers. 0, we
in all ruisted—ruineci, sir—Pig Metal has fallen $3
a ton—and wool 10 cents a pound. The election of
Pots has destroyed us entirely." Probably the pan
ic-maker is an iron-master, and the quiet man lune
ctntly asks, "Has iron fallen, too, Mr --1" "Why
ne, iron bas not fallen yet. It still keeps up, and we
have orders to 611 that we cannot have ready fur 6
weeks-to come—but that can't last." Or perhaps the
panic-maker is a dealer in cloths, and the quiet , man
asks- him if-cloths have come down in proportion to
the decline in wool—the cloth-dealer, wb) has nu no
tion of depreciating his own commodities, answers,
with much sharpness, "0 no, sir, clothes hive not
come dowoas yet." The quiet man walks on, woq,
dieing deeply how it is that the manufactured
Iles, iron and cloth, keep up, while the raw ma)
pig metal and wool, are fulling in price T
sap
ry is solved when he ascertaib& that the pig metal
and the wool are not in the hands of the nnic makers,
but that they wisher). buy them - as. / eap as possible.
- We know that it would be with-Ply &tele-s to ap

Will theynot desist fruity their false stories and their

Let them turnatias for a moment from the thoughts
of the wide destremtion they type to make among
Democints by their cries of panic—let them no longer,
in imaginatioo, gloat over the distress they expect
to produce at the humble fireside of the poor and honest
laborer, who would obey his conscience and vote for
Pots—arid see how-these alarms will affecttbemselvets.
A dealer in iron, we Will inproso,unnes to Pittsburgh
to lay in a stock of Iron and Neils. Estimating the
amount of what he will need by what he has sold since

this miserable business of panic-making. Can those
whonre so busily engaged la it, discover how they are

Alan given above. -
'But let us recur for a moment to the alleged causes
• which are to produce these business troubles. Why,

will, it cannot he destroyed without their aid! So that,
admitting the designs of Col Por,w end his friends to
be just what the lying panic-makers say they are, they
could not accomplish them for two years, and not then
without thesid of the Whig Senate. Wby, then, do

Naw Nov 11, 1844.
We are informed that the charges against the bish•
op are numerous, and that the canonical presencation
is of a marked and important character.—N. Y.
Aceident.—A serious accident occurred in the Ntr
five procession in N York on Friday. In the procer
sion was a model frigate, carrying several small can- i
non, with which salutes were fired at intervals. While
the frigate was plaiting through Se street,
onboardad
when near Avenue A ,one of the boys o il m en r
dropped a sager which, fulling into the "magazine of
powder, caused it to expl,de with terrific force, inju- 1
ring two of the men, named Armstrong and Palmer,
and six of toe boys. one of whom was thrown a con
siderable distance in the eir,and fell stunned and sense
less en the pavement. The hotses being frightened,
started off at a quicker pace, the street was filled with
smoke, and for a few moments it seemed as though
the little frigate bad been blown to atoms. When
the smoke. cleared away the extent of tLe damage
was ascertained, and the persons injured taken to the
Hospital. Some of the boys were most dreadfully
ru
ed, and fears were entertained that they would
recover.
Shocking Accident.. --A most shocking ea4unity
occurred in Concord, N 11, on Friday last, while the
Democrats
York,rag the triumph of Polk and
Dallas in N by the firing of cannon. Mr John
L Haynes. of Concord, one of the officers of the Col
umbian Artilery, had hisleft arm almost entirely blown
off.(it was afterwards amputated,)his right arm dread
fully shattered, and his face shockingly burned, in the
act of ramming down a catridge. The discharge took
place in conseqnence of the vent not being stopped, in
tissescitement and hurry of the firing.
Getting up _a Panic.—A most ridiculous attempt,
observes the Herald. has been made during the last
few days by the Wall street papers, to get up a panic
in stocks and business operations, in consequence of ,
the defeat of Mr Clay and the election of Mr Polk.
There is no reason cejustification whatever fur the fee
ble attempt on the part of the distinguished journals
and politicians engaged in it. It is probably a new
modifiication of thetedging" system. Many of those
who bet and lost their all on Mr Clay are now turning
their attention to the ''fancy stock" market, and are
probably now endeavoring to
gNupou p noicl o which
they have laid their pleas."
Poor Consoler tiow.—The Boston Post snyc Daniel
Webster—the distinguished and successful friend of
that eminent private citizen, the lion Henry Clay—
spalte at the Faseuil Hall %Vbig meeting last evening.
He was in high spirits, which we:e, however; rather

THE WATER CURE
[From the N I ErmingPost..]
This: pew method of cure, about the efficacy of
which so mush has recently been said, is handled very
severely.in the lust number of the London Si
ChirurgiCid Review. A book called "Gmffenhutg. or
a true report of the Water Cure, by Hol.ert H Graham,
M t)," furnishes the m aterials of the review, who
writes against Priessnitx, the founder of the system,
with such wruth,that one is almost persuaded that there
moat ho.ome truth in the doctrine which he attacks.
It is hardly possible that a man of science" and judg
ment, as the writer pretend* to he, would get into
such a passion about ti thing utterly contemptible in it
self. But, the review say.:

rIiNCII'S CHARGE TO JURIES.
GrACTI.F.III S N or THIL JURT:—You are sworn in all
cases, to decide according to the evidence: nt the same
time. if yon have any doubt, you are bound to give the
prisoner the benefit of it. Suppose you have to pro
nounce on the guilt or innocence of a gentleman of fel.
ony. You will naturally doubt whether uny gentle
man would commit such offences; accordingly, however
strong may be the testimony against him, you will per
haps, acquit him. The evidence of your own senses is,
at least, as credible as that of thn witnesses, if, there
fore, your eyesight convinces you that the prisoner is a
well dressed person, you have a right to presume his
respectability; and it is for you to say whether a respec
table person would be likely to be guity of the ct imes
imputed to him. In like marner, when you see a shab
by-looking fellow in the dock, charged, fur example,
with sheep-sleeting, the division rests with you, first,
whether or not that individual is a ragamuffin; and, sec
ondly, bow far it is probable that a man of that descrip
tion probably would steal sheep. Of course, as
been before said, you will always be guid d by the ev
idence; but whether the evidence is trustworthy or
not, is a matter for your private consideration. Ynu
may believe it if you choose. or you may disbelieve it;
and whether, gentlemen of the jury, you will believe it
or disbelieve it, will depend on the constitution of your
minds. if your minds arc siconstivatecithat you wish
to find the prisoner guilty. perhaps you'll believe it: if
they happen to be so constituted that you desire to find
him not guilty. %thy then, very likely, you will disbe
lieve it. You are to free your mi ndr. from all passion and
prejudice, if you can, and, in that case your judgement
will he unbiassed; but if you cannot, you will return a
verdict accordingly. It is not, strictly speaking, for
you to consider what will be the effect of your verdict;
but if s uch a c onsideration should occur to you, 'and
you cannot help attending to it, that verdict will be in
fluenced by it to a certain extent. You are probably
aware, that when you retire, you will be lucked up till
you contrive to agree. You may arrive at unanimity
by fair discutotion, or by some of you starving out the
others, or by tossing up: and your conclusion.by which
ever of theseprocesses arrived at, wilt he more or less
in accordance with your oaths. Your verdict may be
right; it is to be hoped it will: it may be wrong: it le to
be hoped it will not. At all events, gentlemen of the
jury, you should coma to soma conclusion o r other, unoutcom
-
bass it should so happen that you separate ith

MOST DRI: CAL CONDUCT.
An elderly gentleman, named Reuben Weaver. cal
led tipon us yesterday to inform us that as he wad
going borne on Saturday evening, on the West side,
near Fountain Street, he wok the liberty; playfully. to
burrs for Polk and Dallas. Two men who were near
at the time, hearing him, came up and told him not to
do that again. Our informant, not to be silenced in
such a rude manner, especially as he intended no of
fence, and had committed none by indulging in a little
political oxtibentney, again shouted out -burrs for Polk
and Dallas!" The words had hardly been uttered,
when he was seized, thrown upon the ground in the
most brutal ;goner, and pressed down by his assail
ants in such a position as to do him serious i
Afurr some c.msiderable time he was permitted to get
up and go home!
We have arrived at a pretty pass, if a man is to ho
beaten in our streets by ruffians, merely because he
dares to declare himself a Democrat. We believe the
case in notice will come up before a Court. Thu as
saulted man knows his assailants, and if he has jus
tice done him, will make thorn sutl'et severely for their
brutality.
Since writing the above, a Mr. Chase has caller
upon us and states that he was Ve:y brutally treater
by our city watchmen on Saturday evening. It seem
Mr. C. was standing . on the walk in Mat ket square,
listening to the cheering of the Democrats on the
bridge, when he was et &red by a watchman to giA
more room on the walk. Mr. C. made some re
ply—which perhaps was not exactly respectful enough,
we suppose, consideting that he was a Democrat ad
dressing a Whig—when ho was seized and borne uff
to the watch-house. by two or, three watchmen. Du•
ring his passage to the watch-house and after b;a arri
val there. he was beaten by the watchmen in the most,
cowardly and inhuman manner, and shows scars that
he will carry upon his body fur some time.
Mr. C. means to appeal to the law. He can
prove that he was perfectly inoffenaivo, and interrupt-I
ed in /10 way the passage of the walk. He did, per- ,
haps, exhibit some little enthusiasm at the Democrat
ic triumphs, which were the topics of conversation on
the Sqoare, and may have dared to say "Hurra fur I
Palk and Dallas . ," but he is not certain whether he
was thus or not.
The Whigs will find they have got a hard game if
they expect to stifle popular opinion in our streets—the
only place in which they will permit Democrats to
meet, in Providence. Democrats must know their
rights in this respect, and knowing, shonld and will
maintaiu them.—Providence -Gazette.
Conflict with a Mad Dog. —Mr Happoldt of this
city, as keen a sportsman as skilful a gunsmith, met
with a misfortune a week or two since, in the loss of a
fine pointer by hydrophobia and under circumstances
of uncommon peal to himself. After shooting until
past mid-day, observing that liis dog became disube
dient and exhibited a suspicious repugnance to water
—he tied it with a handkerchief to a sapling, leaned
his gun against a tree and ate his luncheon a few
yards off.
On returning towards his gun, he found the dog,
evidently mad, in the act of tearing itself loose and
making at him. Without being able to reach his gun,
Mr H ran into some water near, and stood on a log
until the dog having gone out of sight, he was returning
for his gun, when suddenly the dog matted upon him
over a hillock, and he only escaped being bitten, by
seizing the rabid animal by the throat. A struggle
ensued betweett_thern for mare than half an hour re
coking the cxeitiun_of all the muscular power of the
assailed, while the dog mangled its own tongue
dreadfully and covered Mr H with foam and blood.
He at last succeeded in getting off his belt, putting
it around the dog's neck, and buckling it to the stem of
a small bush, regained his gunand shot the dog. Mr
H, though he escaped fortunately without a scratch.
was much exhausted, and the muscles of his arms
were swollen from the exertion for two days after.—
