)' Hi Aiiiftrica.it It'.mlmssy in China,
We have been favored with the lutcut and
tillott information received in thi country from
the American Embassy in "China. The letters
by the Prubusare dated l'.ttli March last. Mr.
Nmhing, Mr Webster, and fill others of the
mtaiim officers and -crew of the Hrandywine,
wore .in jjood health. The Brandy wine hnd a
healthful but not a rapid voyage from Hombay
to Macao, where she arrived on the tilth of
Vebruary, wholly escaping the diseases which
i'ecimaled the crews of the Columbia and the
John Adams on the same voyage. She went
by the Ciimbray and Gallcgo passages.
There is nn excellent feeling in China tn
wnrd the people of the United States. The
Chinese generally call tis the "flower flag na
tion," (hwa hi) mistaking our stars for (low ers
and express great regard for tho Americans
in contrast with the English. Mr. Cushing
felt much confidence that the mission would
succeed in all its public objects. The legntion
had taken a house on shore at Macao, while the
Hrnndy wine was refitting, and as soon as the
monsoons would permit, it was their purpose to
fpC sail for the mouth of the TetLo, where they
expected to cast anchor, and thence puti their
way to Peking.
Mr. Cushing and Mr. Webster were dili
gently studying the Manchoo language, the
vernacular ol the Emperor, and in this tongue
expect to address him and tiro ''Heavenly
Court,11 if they reach Peking. This is doubt
less a good idea, because it is an alphabetical
language, and of much easier acquisition than
the Chinese, which is a language of the eon
rjucred and not of the conquerors. lr. Parker
is scarified lo the embassy as physician and in
terpreter, and Dr. Bridinnn as chaplain and in
terpreter. Old Keying, the commissioner from Peking,
ulm visited Canton last year, had return to
court. It was this functionary who intimated
to Mr. Forbes, the American consul, in antid
ilution of the arrival of tho legation from the U.
States, that the journey to Peking was loo long
and tco wearisome for the embassy to endure
that it would not be necessary to tukc so much
trouble, and that the business of our Minister
with his Government wig Lit be done upon pa
per. Keying was informed that the people of
the D. States had commanded their enmmitsion
ror Minister to proceed in person to the Ce
lestial Court, and if possible into the presence
of tho great Emperor, in orler that he might be
certainly assured of the health of the Emperor,
and be able to certify the Government and peo
ple of'thc U. Slates thereof from his own knawl
tdge. Time enough had elapsed since Keying reach
ed Peking (knowing it was for the purpose of
Mr. Cushing to go to Peking, if possible,) for
nn order to have been transmitted prohibiting
ho inland progress of the legation, if it hnd
been designed by the Emperor to prevent the in
tended visit, and none hid been received. It
was hoped and inferred from the circumstance,
thnt no opposition would be made to the progress '
of the mission to Peking. Although Macao has
a Portuguese Governor and garrison, yet it be-Ii-'iigs
lo the sovereignty of China, and before
In tiding Mr. Cushing thought it proper to nd
dross a letter of courtesy to the Governor of Can
tun, advising him that the embassy was on its
way to Peking, and mentioning that the object
of touching and remaining lit Macao, a few
weeks, was for refitting, and waiting tor favora
ble winds. This letter had been despatched by a
special messenger, but no reply had been recei
ved. Under the present prospects it would have
been matter for painful regret, if party or per
sonal feel ng had so far prevailed in the Senate
of the United States as to have defeated the
continuation of" Mr. Cushing as Minister to Chi
na. His correspondence with his Government
(w hich already we nrc informed on good au
thority, covers upwards of 5(10 folio pages) will,
before the close of the mission, exceed in the
value of its information all the cost of the expe
dition. Courier.
Thk Last Tout:. Tho following, fays the
Irfiuisville Courier, is a translation of the letter
written by General Sentmanat to his wife, a
few minutes previous to being shot, in Tobos
co. It is full of religious feeling affection
tor his wife, his children, and his family ge
nerally :
'Rose of my life, have patience; console
yourself with religion, and with the idea that
your husband has ever loved you tenderly,
and even in this, his Inst moment, thinks of you
alone. Make my children hnppy and do it
speedy, for this life is short, and in the other
world the just will be rewarded. Farewell, a
rlored Rose, receive my l ist sigh, and embrace
affectionately my children. Hose, farewell;
say a thousand tender things for me to my dear
mother, and to all the fumily. Connote yourself,
for God's sake ; think of your children, and do
not forget your husband, who adores you in his
inmost soul. Farewell farewell !

I ii in in rr Complaints
A this is the season for the prevalence of
ccrfnin coinpkiinls, the newspapers, accerding
to custom, tire publishing their various modes
of prevention and curt-; and these are quite as
numerous a their authors, no two agreeing up
on any mode of practice. Such things remind
nsnfctiresfbr a cold or a toothache, thmgs which
hare ticrmne proverbial for infinite series in
number. The story books say thnt if a man dis
closes a cnld or a toothache to a company of eld
erly Indies, married or single, ho will be fur
nitdted with a score of different recipes from
each. The fact proves both the benevolence
and the extensive curative resources of tho
worthy advisers. A journal before us ascrilien
all such emnpla'ints to unripe fruit, nnd recom
mends a cold bath in the morning as an effec
tual preventive. We must look a little deeper
than this journal into physiology, pathology and
ihcraputics, if we would not have tlie elderly
ladies of both sexes denounce us for quackery.
By summer complaints we mean dysen'cry
and other complaints, in which the stomach and
bowels are principally effected. The principal
cause of such complaints in hot weather is
col J. The system being debilitated by hot
wea flier, is less able to endure sudden changes
of temperature in July and August, than at
other seasons of the year; and at this season,
such changes are more frequent and sudden,
and the system is less defended n r :iet them
by clothing. In August especially, drafts of
cold air are common in hot days; and sweep
ing over a skin of copious perspiration, and
thinly clad, they produce a sudden paralysis of
that important organ. The consi quence is a
check to the insensible perspiration, which it
healthy adults, varies from two to four pounds
daily. And as hot weather, by promoting per
spiration, produces thirst, and as thirst creates
desire for drinking, and as the momentarily
refreshing sensation produced by iced water
stimulates this desire, perspiration is necessari
ly greater, and its sudden arrest more injurious
in Etimiucr than in winter. Then as this mut
ter, which most be discharged from the sys
tem, cannot escape through the skin when t hat
organ is paralyzed, it must escape through some
other avenue ; and as thig new avenue is over
taxed, disease is the cjneqiience. Then if it
escapes through the nose, it pmlucei catarrh ;
through the lungs, cough anil cxjectorntion ;
through the bowels, dysentery. The mora the
y stein be debilitated, the nearer will disease
approach the organs most essential to vitality ;
nnd of these the stomach and bowels are first,
as a patient soon sinks under disease of them,
while lie may live much longer under disense
of the lungs. Then as the system is mure de
bilitated in summer than in winter, the insen
sible perspiration, prevented from escaping
through the skin, will fall sooner on the bowels
than on the nose or lungs; and hence catarrhs
and coughs are most common in winter, and
dysenteries most common in summer. We may
add that through intemperance in eating or
drinking, whether of fruit or i!eol.ol or any
thing else, the bowels may be debilitated ; nnd
as the insensible perspiration, impeded by the
natural channel, always fall upon the weakest
part, it would, in summer, most prohuhly tiill on
the bowels.- Therefore we trace bowel com
plaints to cold, nnd consider intemperance as a
secondary, not a primnry cause.
What then, is the best mode of prevention !
We answer, defence of the bowels by cloiiun?
and other means of avoiding exposure, and
maintaining the healthy activity of the skin
Therefore, we say to all, and cpeciully children
and elderly people, wear an additional covering
on tho region of toe bowels, avoid exposure to
cool d rati s, especially when in perspiration, and
rub the 6kin daily with a brush or towel. We
also advise temnerance in the u-e of fruit, ice
and meats, nnd total abstinence from alcohol
by the healthy. Stimulants may be necessary
to some convalescents, and the spices are in
finitely more salutary than alcohol.
The recommendation of a cold bath is not
good for all, as some cannot endure it. The
whole efficacy of co'd baths depends upon re
action, or driving the blood from the surface to
the centre, for the purpose of having it driven
more effectually from the centre to the surface.
Py this process n more active circulation in the
skin is procured, if the system be vigorous e
nough for the purpose. Rut in any feeble sub
jects, the cold, which is the greatest of all de-
bilitaling causes, would debilitate still mon
because not counteracted by reaction, for which
the system is not strong enough. I
Put when bowel complaints exist, a know-
ledge of the case will suggest the cure. If the
cause is a psralyzed skin, that function must
be excited ; and for this purpose, warm bath

for the want of democratic principles. Pecunia

Political Hireling.
Political mectingsnre almost constantly held.
On Monday afternoon the Whigs had a meeting in
the Court House, and Were addressed by Mr.
Gibbons, of Philadelphia, who labored hard to
make it appear that Mr. Clay was in favor of a
protective tariff, and that Mr. Tolk was not. The
lute opinions of the t wo candidates seem to give
our whig friends much trouble on account of
their similarity. Mr. Gibbons did his best but
found himself engaged in a job of woik tbatre
qnired all his energies, and at length waxed
so warm upon the subject thnt he was obliged to
pull off his coat and work in his shirt sleeves.
This we looked upon as the most prominent de
mocratic feature in the whole speech, and yet
the audience never said Booh !
In the evening the Democratic Club held a
meeting, which was fully attended. Mr. Wol
fi Hirer made some remarks. After which Capt.
Ihiiinncl, of Union, entertained the audience by
nn amusing speech, sometimes English and some
times German. The meeting was concluded by
an able speech from Maj. W. L. Dewart. On
Tuesday evening another Democratic meeting
was called, which was eloquently addressed by
Wm. Cox Ellis, of Lycoming, and C. W. llegins,
Esq , of this place.
On Wednesday evening the Whigs held a meet
ing, when the Hon. James Pollock addressed
the meeting for the purisc of showing that Mr.
Clay was not at bad a tariff man ns he had been
represented, and that Mr. PoMv was still worse.
HereadMr Clay's last letter i that subject, but
entirely forgot the last one from Mr. Polk. In
regard to a I". P. Bank, Mr. Pollock was in favor
of it only, if the people are. He was, however, ,
torn sound Rational currency, which smacks j
strongly of a U. S. Bank.
Another meeting took place on Thursday
evening, nt the Court House, which was ably ad
dressed by C. W. Hegins, Esq , in a speech of
considerable length. Mr. Hegins went on to
shew, among other things, the inconsistency of
the Whig orators on the tariff. He also contend
ed that a U. S. Bank was one o( the issues now
before the people, w hich the Whigs kept entirely
out of view.
K7 We have received a letter from an esteem- ;
ed correspondent, stating that the translation of
the extract of the Pope's Bull, published in our
hist, is incorrect. We have no objection to pub
lishing the version alluded to, if furnished to us.
CT7" There can be no doubt but that the opin
ions ol Mr. Polk and Clay, on the principles of
the tariff, are almost the same. They ore both
for a revenue tariff, discriminating in favor of
manufactures, Kc. But here the parallel must
end. Mr. Polk is the decided enemy of a U. S.
Bank, and under no circumstances would sanc
tion such ar. institution. Mr. Clay is the warm
j friend of that institution, and has, but recently,
ueciaren nunseii in nvor oi u. in iiw pi.nea
his friends openly advocate it, in otheis tho sub
ject is kept smothered us it was in IS 10.
CT7" Mor.K Bi.oon An Tuimo k Col. Jack,
of Philadelphia, having made a statement, refer
ring to Judge Conrad, which the Judge did not
corrolmrate. Jack then contradicted the Judge.
The Judge felt insulted and sent a challenge
The Colonel iisreed to an appointment to make
arrangements, but did not attend, w hereupon the
Judge went to the Colonel's house, saw him at
the door, took him by the neck, gave him several
cuts with a cowhide, and threw him on the pave
lent.
Sliiiulirs of the Press.
The editor of the Berks & Schuylkill Journal,
who, for some years past, has become notorious
for his billingsgate languaue and jcrsoiiaI abuse,
has made an attack on Henry A. Muhlenberg.
He accuses him of gambling and drinking whis
key, (drinking wine, we presume, would have
been more aristocratic, and much less criminal.)
No honest, intelligent man would, for u moment,
credit such a story. Mr. Muhlenberg has resid
ed in Reading for nearly thirty years has held
numerous responsible offices, and now, for the
lirst time, he is accused of gambling and drink
ing, or, in other words, of being a gambler and
diuukard, for that is the impression intended to
be created by the charge. Such slanders are on
ly calculated to increase the immense majority
he will receive in "Old Berks," for, there are
hundreds in the Whig ranks in that county, who,
on account of the high personal esteem and re
spect they entertain for the man, are anxious to
vote for him, (and many will vote for him,) and
are only restrained from openly supporting him
on account of the ties of strong party discipline.
In making these remaiks we speak not unknow
ingly, for we have, on several occasions, con
versed with some of the most responsible and in
telligent Whigs of Berks county, who candidly
expressed to us the above views. We repeat,
that no high minded, honest political opponent,
who knows Henry A. Muhlenberg, will speak of
him in any other terms than those of respect for
bis character. in:."lian.Miil v nnd liberalitv. It is
;ii .1 .. 1 111 n- .
indeed, surprising, that men should be so blind

Governor Ritnrr.
Wo statud a few weeks since that Ex-Governor
Ritner was among those who had declared him
self -opposed to Mr. Clay, and of this, we think,
all things considered, there was at least great pro
bability. Ex -Gov. Ritner, it will be recollected,
ns well as Ex-Gov. Sliiiltz, were both applicants
for ollicu under Gen. Harrison. And as they both
had been Presidential Electors, in this State,
they both naturally supposed they were entitled
to office. Rut, as there were about 30,000 intriot.
tt office hunters to accommodate, many of whom
had anxiously waited for a chance at the public
crib from 12 to 20 years, it was. therefore, not
surprising that the Ex-Governors had to stand
back. Gov. Ritner, it is true, was appointed Di-
rectoroftbe Mint, but the Whig Senate rejected
him, and, as was said, through the influence of
Mr. Clay, 'flint he became seared by disappoint
ment, and expressed his dissatisfaction of the
Whip party, was not then doubted, and whether
new promises and overtures have been made,
will be for others to judge. It does not, indeed,
seem wholly improbable. The following is an
extract of a recent letter from him, to Mr. Reed,
of Carlisle, on this subject. He expresses him
self, it will be seen, warmly in favor ofis An
timasonic brother. General Markle, whose uomi
nation was made to please the Ex-Governor's
right band man, Thaddctis Stevens. But does he
say that he will vote for Mr. Clay Not a word
of it. He says he cannot support the election of
Mr. Polk, and as Mr. Clay comes nearer to his
views than Mr. Polk, therefore he will not o
pmr him. But it is a matter of but little moment
what the Ex-Governor's views are now. His
ephemeral iiilluenre is cone. He is known only
as th" shadow of that arch political intriguer.
Thadeus Stevens, through whose influence and
corrupting power the country was cursed with
the I. S. Bank, and our Commonwealth almost
crushed, beyond the hope of recovery, beneath its
mass of rottenness and corruption. We sav it
matters but little what such men may think,
but it is almost cruel to drag them from that re-
from the scrutiny of public notice. The follow
ing is the extract :
"I am opposed fo the annexation of Texas ;
because in every aspect in which the question
bus been presented to my mind, it appears to
mo thnt. the annexation will most materially
disturb the harmony of the Ciiited States. I
am in favor of preserving the integrity and inde
pendence of the Union at all hazards.
The alsive are my views in regard to the
jjreat questions involved in the Presidential e
lection ; and ns James K. Polk is supported by
a party who have declared in their public pro
ceedings that they are in favor ofthe annexation
of Texas, and pledged their candidate to the
support ofthe same measure, and as he has hv
Iih own acts, while a member of Congress, uni
formly opposed those measures which I deem
essential to the prosperity ofthe nation, I can
not support his election. On the other hand,
Mr. Clay comes nearer my views, much nrsrer,
than Mr. Polk ; I therefore do not oppose his
election."
