A Good Story and A Good Speech. In a speech of about three hours long, de livered at Saratoga, Daniel Webster told the following illustrative anecdote : Seth Peterson was a neighbor of Mr. W., a hardy Yankee, of amphibious habits, half far mer, half fisherman, with plenty of the "poor man's blessings," and a good share of the com forts which his daily iudustry gave them. As he and Mr. W. were alone in a little boat, le tuming from fishing, and while he was pulling at the oars, he would sometimes give his own conceptions of national policy. He had heard of the new notion among political men, that low prices were as good for poor men as high, provided the necessaries of life were reduced in a proportionate degree; and was asked what he thought of these changes. He said " If every thing which the poor men wants could be reduced in exact propor tion to the reduction of his wages, and remain so, he would not suffer by the change. But I have only one thing to sell, and that is my la bor. I have many things to buy, and I find the. reduction does not reach all the articles which I want. Flour and meat may be reduced, but tea, coffee, sugar, spices, and many other ar ticles, are just the same as they were, before the reduction of the wages of labor. My in terest, therefore, induces me to be in favor of a high rate of wages." This, said Mr. Webster, is practical wisdom, which is far better than the theories of politicians. The reasoning of Seth Peterson comprises the whole question in the best posssible form. A correspondent of the New York American, referring to the same speech says : Once, and once only, was there an approach to sentiment or pathos and then not forced, nor prepared, but spontaneous, & springing naturally . and unavoidably from the topic he was discussing. It was an allusion to log cabins, and to the poor and contemptible sneers from which the association of the name of General Harrison with log cabins sprang. "I agree," said Mr. Webster, "that to live in a log cabin is no recommendation of a candidate for the presidency; neither is it any disqualifi. cation. It is, however, to be assumed, that a man who, by his capacity and industry has raised himself from a log cabin, to eminent sta tions in his country, is of more than ordinary merit. 1, sir, have a feeling for log cabins and their inhabitants. I was not myself born in one mv lflr hrntliprs and sistp.rs were: in the cabin which, at the close of the Revolutionary war, in the perils and sufferings of which he bore his part, my father erected on the extreme frontier of New Hampshire, when beyond the smoke which curled from its chimney, not ano ther stood between it and the walls of Quebec. "In the humble cabin, amid the snow-drifts of New England, that father strove by lionest labor to acquire the means of giving to his chil dren a better education and elevating them to a higher condition than his own. That cabin 1 honor for the sake of the venerable man who dwelt in it. (Here Mr. Webster's voice became almost inarticulate from emotion.) That cabin I annually revisit, and thither I carry my chil dren that they may learn to honor and to emu late the stern and simple virtues which there had their abode; and when 1 or they forget that cabin, and what it teaches and recalls, may my name and their names perish from among men for ever." T J . 1 . ? -1 . 1 U.. i qo nox preiena to give me exact uiua uiu this was the general sentiment, and the pause that followed the choking pause of thousands of hearts struggling to subdue the emotions which this simple burst of filial piety called up, bore Nature s holiest testimony to the power and eloquence of unadorned and unexaggera ted Truth. Great Concession. ' The Globe at last admits the pos sibility of General Harrison s election When Napoleon landed from Elba, Louis the lSth's Moniteur spoke of him in most contemptuous terms ; at Grenoble it condescended to call him Napoleon; at Lyons, when the whole city nocked to his standard, he was the Emperor: and when in a day or two he entered Paris in triumph, it; was "His imperial Majesty the Em peror Napoleon arrived at the Tuil- lenes at so ana so. oo narnson, the humble tenant of the North Bend log cabin, is a driveling coward; at Tippecanoe and r ort Meigs, right di visions of the Whig army, W.

John W. i White, who has been for two years or more pastor of a large and respectable Methodist Society in Cincinnati, Ohio, and formerly 'of Somerset county, Me., in a private letter to his father says : "The political excitement in this country is raging with violence, and like the handle of a jug all on the one and the right side. Harrison and "Reform is our motto, no reduction of wa ges our watchword, an entire overthrow of the present corrupt and profligate (party) adminis tration, is our cry, and peace and being, the fruits of our cnte'rprize. We will join with thankful hearts the congregations of our sister States in the shouts of victory and joy. " As vou are at a distance, let me say that I am personally acquaimed with Gen. Wm. H. Harrison; and on last Sabbath had the pleasure of seeing him among the assemblage which, by the.permission of Divine Providence, 1 had the satisfaction of addressing, and, from my inti mate acquaintance with him, 1 will say, that I admire him as a man, in his social and private relations, I respect him as a gentleman, I love him as a patriot, I honor him as a brave, suc cessful soldier and general may he yet live to enjoy the highest gift in the suffrage of our free and independent people depend upon it, he is a gentleman worthy of enjoying our en tire confidence and high esteem." TJw Blessings of Low Wages and no Meat: It beinp- stated in debate in the Senate, on the Sub-Treasury bill, that the French laborers, under th1. operation of the Sub-Treasury hard money system of that government, could not afford to eat meat, the Hon. Ruel Williams, a Van Buren Sena tor from Maine, undertook to show that the French laborers p-ot alono- bet ter without meat. These are his words : "It is true, sir, that a greater portion of the laborers of France tire deprived of the use of animal food; but does it follow that, as a whole, they are the worse off? No sir; so far from it, I have the authority of an English states man, who speaks from observation and a critical examination of the sub ject, for saying that the reverse is the case. This is the doctine held by the Ad ministration Senators in Congress. We wish these honorable gentlemen would try the experiment themselves, and then tell their, countrymen how they relish it whether it is so pleas ant a thing to live without meat, and whether they still think that the great body of their countrymen who subsist by labor should have their wages so low as to be unable to procure animal food for themselves and iamilies. We opine that those gentlemen who, them selves "faring surrptuously every day," descant so complacently on the advantages of low wages and dry bread, would change their note if they were compelled to set the example. The truth is, that the doctrines avow ed by these politicians are insulting to the intelligence of the country, and it is impossible to hear or read them without utter disgust. Nat. Intelli gencer. Price of Wheat in Ohio. A friend writes that he has a fine crop of wheat on the ground as he ever saw, and that he cannot get an offer of more than 20 cents per bushel; and that too, within 25 miles of Columbus. He says 'he will harvest enough for his own family and let the rest rot upon the ground as 20 cents will not pay the expense of harvesting. Now how will those who owe only zfew hundred dollars, on the most valuable farms, be able to pay those few hundred dollars? N. Y. Times. "John, has the doctor arrived?"

' Cleanse and Purify the Body. AN AMERICAN SUMMER, The Weather and its effects. One' day we have 90 degrees of heat.in the shade: the next 50. Thus, one day the perspiration is streaming from every pore ; the next day all are nearlyplosed. Even those who have a healthy disposition of body, are subject to siekness under these circumstances. Therefore to prevent any danger, we ought care fully to guard against a COSTIVE STATE OF OUR BOWELS. Once or twice they must be evacuated in 24 hours. If this is not effected naturallv, medicine must be resorted to BRAN DRETH'S PILLS must be taken; their there will be no danger. Do not think that een aDAiLY use of these Pills will weaken or debilitate They do not. On the contrary, the functions of tlib stomach are restored, the bowels cleansed and strengthen ed; the appetite and digestion improved. And common sense tells us we are better able 'to with stand continued heat, or sudden change's than we should be, were we oppressed by a load of impure humors in the. blood, always the occasion of every variety of disorder. Often a sudden, tdysentery occurs. Should there be a cause' for ihis,- audit does not take place, thentlle. bipod js'rhaddTttie. receiver of those humors,1 hfch should'have been discharged by the bowels. Uhdor theso circum stances, which may be known byExcEEDWG drow siness, and great fatigue on the least exertion, vegetable purging must be immediately and ener getically practised, or these humors form a lining or aeposite in the blood vessels- which may pro duce epilepsy, apoplexy, consumption,- &c. &c. It must be, however, borne in mind that even in dysentery and disorders of the bowefs,tHat BRAN DETH'S PILLS are indispensable .They re move those peceant humors which,,?pr6jdiSco these affections, before they have time to produce gan grene or any other fatal effect. . Sometimes the blood is so loaded with humors that it becomes in a fermentation, being that state of the body called fever, which is nothing more than an effort of nature to throw off all offending matters. This is, in fact, a call upon Reason, to assist the natural functions with'purging medicine, which, if properly answered, will soon evacuate these foul humors, and restore the body'to a state of perfect health. ' It is at all times easier to prevent than to cure disease, because by taking a preventive couse we do not debilitate the natural functions of the body, but rather strengthen and assist them, The pe culiar action of BrandretWs Vegetable Universal Pills, is to cleanse the blood from all impurie,' remove every cause of pain or weakness, nncT PRESERVE THE CONSTITUTION in such a state of health and vigor,so that casual changes cannot effect it.

Jefferson. ; . f THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN in principle, will be all its hlc purports, tho lirm and unwavering advocate of the pnnciplesaiid' doctrines of the democratic paTty, delineated by the illustrious Jefferson: : the right ot the peo ple to think, to speak, and to act, indcpendpni ly, on all subjects, holding themselves respon sible to no power for the free exercise of this" right, but their God, their Country, and her Laws, which they themselves have created. A iree and untranuneled Press, conducted in a spirit worthy of our institutions, is a public bles sing, a safeguard to the Constitutioiiunder which we live, and it should be cherished and support ed by every true republican. Such, then, it is designed io make the paper now .est abo lished, and as such, the publisher - ualls itp the enlightened citizens of Monroe and Pik to aid him in this laudable enterprise. ThVtimu has arrived when the Press should take a bold and faarless stand against the evidently increas ing moral and political degeneracy of the day, and endeavor, by a fair, candid, and honorable course, to remove, those barriers whioh section- ol nrniiiflinac nivl-i cntrlf .lint rn rti nitimneittf tl ST J I J " I have reared to mar the social relations of men without accomplishing anv paramount good. THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will not seek to lead or follow any faction, or to advocate and support the schemes, of any par ticular set of men. It will speak independent ly on all State and National questions, award ing to each that support which its merits may demandj.never hesitating, however, to condemn such measures, as in the opinion of the editor is justly warranted, holding as a first principle : " The greatest good to the greatest number." Believing that the great principles of democ racy are disregarded by the present Chief Ma gistrate of the Nation, Martin Van Burf.n, the JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN, will decidedly, but honorably oppose his re-election to the high and responsible station which he now holds. It will firmly oppose the " Independent Trea sury" Scheme, and all other schemes having for their object the concentration in the hands of one man, and that man the President of the Nation, all power over the public moneys, a power, which, when combined with that vest ed in him by the Constitution as Commandec-in-Chief of the American forces, Military and Naval, together with an enormous oiliciarpa- tronage, would render him more powerful, lhau the Executive of the British Nation, and in short make our Government, de facto an Elec tive Monarchy. It will ever maintain that the welfare of our Country and the preservation of her Republican Institutions should be the first and. only senti ments of our hearts in the choice of our puhlic servants ; that honesty, fidelity, and capability, are the only true tests of merit ; that all men are created equal, and, therefore, should alike enjoy the privileges conferred on them by the Constitution without being subject to proscrip tion, or coerced by the influence of party. The columns of the JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will ever be open to the free discussion of all political questions, believing as we do, that there is no liberty where both sides may not be heard, and where one portion of freemen are denied the privilege of declar ing their sentiments through the medium of the Press, because thev differ from the majority. The JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will ever take a lively interest in the affairs of Monroe and Pike, and of the Senatorial and Congressional Districts with which they aro connected. The Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic, and the Laborer, will each find a friend in tho columns of the JEFFERSONIAN REPUB LICAN. Due care will be taken to furnish its readers with the latest Foreign and Donlestic News, arid such Miscellaneous reading as will be both interesting and instructive. In short it is designed to make the paper worthy of an ex tensive patronage, both from the strictly moral tone which it will ever possess, and the efforts of the editor to make it a good and useful Family Newspaper. The JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will be printed on a super-royal sheet of good quality, and with good type.
