iilterior business. People in the ‘country are al-
so liable to be favorably impressed by llte fre-
quent sight of a name in the newspapers. hc
‘advertising party acquires distinction in their
eyes. and thus they are ied, in iitalring a choice.
to prefer him. But by far the most inipoitaiiiet_‘-
fect of advertising is one of an indirect nature. it
conveys the impression that the party pretend-
ing or not pretending. quackish or not quacklsb.
is anxious for business. One who is atixtousfor
business. is unavoidably supposed to be an in-
dustrlous, attentive. civil person. who keeps the
best of articles at the cheapest rate. does every
thing in the rteatest anti most tradesman like
manner, and in general rises every expedient to
gratify and attach customers. People of course.
like to purchase under these circuttistatices arid
the system of advertising assuring theiri that such
circtiiiistances exist at this particular shop. they
select it accordingly. Such are the opinions of
the o';d tradesrtian alluddd to. and they are, cer-
tainly. supported by fact; for wherever ati ex-
tensive or regular system of advertising is prac-
tised. and no back-drawing or unconqucrable cir-
cumstances €XlSt, it is usually seen to be attend-
ed with a considerable share of success. One
feature in the philosophy of the subject must be
carefully attended to. A faint and uiifreqtici'.t
system of advertising does not succeed even in
proportion. “ Drink deep or taste not the Pieri-
an spring.”

Shocking Illurder and Suic'ide.—Tliis morn-

Conclilionqf Upper C'anada.—Judging from
the best information we can get frorii Upper
Canada, we think we see a state ofthings. about
which we do not feel at liberty to hold still otir pen
any longer. That there is a deep. and art abid-
ing dissatisfaction with the government of the
country is rnatiifest from the unprecedented emi-
gration from that Province to the United States,
and that the country is far from quiet is also
clear from the marching and countcrmarching of
troops, and the ntimerous insurrections ofCzina-
dian. not of American. creation. \‘v’e may callt
all these the cfliirts of Pirates and Rebels. if we
choose-—but Piracy manifests itself singularly
when it abandons the soil, prospects. home, and
every thing. and flies to a foreign country for a
ciiaiige.

There seems to be in Upper Canada, on the
partofthe high Tories there, a rabid fan:iticisrn«
akin only to that ol'tltc old Tories of Nor'lt and
South Carolina, and parts of New York—an
absolute rage for blood. the gallows and the
prison, unappeascd and unappcasable. It is the
horse leech cry of blood, rtture blood. Prisons
they appear to look upon only as pens to " fatten
fellows for:he gallows." Sir George A riliur has
more enraged these enragecs because he has
caused to be killed only two. Lord Durham has
been denounced in bitter terms, because he has
only banished many, and hung none. Insurrec-
tions appear to be got up by these amateurs as a
species ofaniusement.jost fortlie fun of ltuntiog
"the Pirates.” or for set.ing the savages upon
them, or more probably for starting the Militia
itito service. so that cfiicers and soldiers cart
reap with the Regulars. their portion of the bar-
vest of British gold. There is a blood thirsty,
fiendish rage for fightand carnage, insiirreciions.
and executions. It partakcs in nothing of the
civilized spirit of the age——and the consequence
is. fiery feuds iii neighborhr otls—arson. assassina-
tion even, emigration by iowns—a deep routed
and restless dissatisfaction. not only preventing
all emigration to Canada, but precipitating cuti-
gration from it.

Sir Francis B. Head, it seems to us. is very
much accountable for this spirit. VVlicn Go-
vernor of Upper Canada. he seemed to be trying
to make a story in which there should be
a tragedy. McNabb answered for a hero. and
the Home Government made a knight of him.’
A melodramatic episode was wanted—-in which
there should be fire, murders, and a cataract,
and the Caroline steamboat was attacked, at
dead of night—-murder perpetrated. and then
dashed down the Falls of Niagara in flames.
All this was well " got up.” as they say in Van):-
hall. London, and " it beat Vauxliall, too, all to
sticks,” as they add by way of couipari-.-ori. The
Home Governtnent, however. naturally got sick
ofthis romance of reality writtc-n and acted bv
Sir Francis Headw.-and the baroiiet was lilliet-t
liome--arid Sir George Arthur was sent in his
place. As to Sir George he has not been \\i.-c
even in permitting two exccutions—but his go-
verntnent seems to us thus far. not to have been
downright bad. He has bad advisers. and a
difficult helm to handle. and perhaps he has done
as well as anybody could. The Earl of Dur-
ham has certainly taken a wiser cotirse yet.
He has hung nobody. No blood has been spilt
by him. This so far was policy as well as fitt-
manity. The hanging day is over on the conti-
nent of America for political sins. His Lordship
is now in Upper Canada. He is there to at-
tempt ‘conciliation. If we know the English
character, this is the only way in which he can
satisfy the British people at lioirie. They are
not for hanging. and rapiue, and arson. and war.
To such a policy we wish success. If the Ca-
nadas are worth saving to the British. we re-
ligiously believe. that the mild and benign ac-
tion of the British Constitution alone can save
them to the British Empire. It is very true
15.000 regular troops can keep them in order,
hutthe tax payers for this anon will keep an ac-
count current, and calculatethe valueof colonies
costing so much to-govern tbein.—-N. Y.

Swxs Iii lilissonnt.--Extract of a letter dated

“ Politics run very high with us now. Asthe

and Bank and no Benton, the last ofwhich party
are gaining strength daily, Bond and Sevier's

position to the repeal of the Specie Circular is
doing much more good. We are in good spirits,

tain as to relax exertions."

and who has herself a leaning toward the old
leaven of aristocracy. cannot stand this dose-
she fiiids it too strong for her dear stomach. and
thus throws it off:—--'‘ It is the general opinion of
rnouctary men, that no government in the world
has exhibited so tiiitch ignorance of the trite
monetary system in a young state. as that which
has been exhibited by Mr. Van Buren and his
predecessor. who, because they held under
their hydra-headed rule almost countless rriillions
of acres. thought they could absorb the bullion of
the whole world.aittl retain it within the verge
of their nunieions states. The result of three

' Turn about is fair Plu_t/.’—Mr. Van Buren

VVEDN ISDAY. JULY 25. 1838.

Tat-'. DaoUott'r.—'I‘lie newspaper press ap-
pers to have sympathized with vegetation in its
sufferings from the extremely hot weather. It
has lost its usual freshness and beauty-—:n(l eve-
ry tliing interesting is completely dried up. \Ve
have endeavored to present otir readers. this
week, with as great a variety as the season will
permit, taking especial pains to serve up to tlieiri
plcnty ofsliort articles. well interspersed with
anecdote-and wit, thus forming a medley calcu-
lated to revive tliclanguid tastes, and refreshtlie
drooping spirits oftliose who, in such hot wea-
ther. consider all political disquisitions and edi-
torial hoittilies, “flat, stale aiitl unprofitable."
And that we might not err upon the other ex-
tretne, by causing our readers too violent an exer-
cise ofthe cacliinnatory mtiscles, we have been
particularly careful to exclude from our selec-
tions every tning so very witty as to endanger
that delicious state ofdreamy quiet, which is so
essential to a comfortable existence in these
“ days that try men's souls" and bodies too.

Influenced by sitnilarconsiderationsourselves,
we have sedulously avoided all temptations to
undtie exciterrieiit of any kind; and have con-
sequently omitted. for the present, to notice, as
they deserve, the attacks of sundry Loco-Focos.
who certainly evince very decided symptoms of
that awful disease. which the application of cold
water only aggravates. With such fellows, we
wish to have as little to do as possible. until after
dog-days are over; though we candidly confess
we are less afraid of their bite, than disgusted
with their sltzver, and annoyed by their 3/elping.
Faugh! it is too hct to think of it!

 

ANOTHER VVHIG TRIURIPH.
LOUlSlAVl/l ERECT l

\Vliig victories have become so common, that
nobody scents to expect an election to goiu favor
of the Tories. Even the Loco-Foco presses,
long before the rcsults are known, cxercise their
ingenuity in inventing causes which may possi-
bly lcad to their defeat; and when the harsh
tidings of their overthrow grates ttpon their cars.
it is, forsooth. no more than they expected !-
They do manage to sustain these tremendous
reverses of political fortune with great apparent
eqttaniniity. But, in our opinion, their. dogged
endurance is founded in the consciousness of hav-
ing bronglit these dire calaniitics upon them-
selves. Instead of saying “ these shameful de-
feats which our lnckless party is sustaining from
one end of the country to the other, are nothing
more than we c1'pcctcd”——like poor Pilgarlic,
who is convicted of theft. and stands quivering
under the uplifted lash—tliey ittight cxclaim.
with iuucli tiiore truth. "this is nothing more
than we had reason to expect-—punislirr.ent is
pretty sure to follow crime, and we know that we
are getting nothing more than we deserve.”

But to the particulars of the election which
liasjust come off in Louisiana.

Jlfr. Roman, the VVliig candidate, is elected
Governor by about 1,000 majority, in a poll of
about 12,000 votes. Every member of Con-
gress elected is a Whig.

The State Législatiire will stand about as fol-

ows:
Senate. 11 \Vhigs 6 Van Buren
House, 35 do. 15 do.

\Vhig majurit-ty on joint ballot 25.

The N. Y. Express, in commenting upon this
result, which. in reality. fai‘ exceeds the expect-
ations of the most sanguine, says:

\Vhatever is to be the fortune of the ‘Nhig
party in the end, it is doing a Bonapartean busi-
ness now, and it clears the field of all enemies,
wherever it strikes. These successive victories
in Van Buren States—ttiis wrenching from him
empire after empire, forcibly reminds one of Na-
po|eon’s storming the Alps. where be poured
down his legions upon Italy and Austria. and
swept all before him. To the efliirts of \Vright
and Cambreleng. and all such to arrest this ntarcli
of Public Opinion, the words of the Poet
Campbell are well applicable.

" Tyrants in vain ye trace the wizard ring.
In vain ye limit iititid‘s unwearied spring,
What, can ye lull the winged wiuilsasleep,
Arrest the rolling world or chain the deep T’

 

Ki-:t:r CooL.—A great deal of good advice is
comprehended in the words——“ Kee‘pcool.”—
They mean tnucli ntore than meets the eye. A
titan cannot keep cool. tinless he lives t.cmpe_
rately, dcalsjustly, sleeps sotindly, swears soft-
ly. frets amiably, and quarrels discreetly. An
unbridled temper. is worse than a fire-ball. Oite
must learn to control his passions, before he
can expect to keep cool.

 

“'l‘iti«: Sctioot.-titAs'rt-zit ABrtoAn."—We learn
that Samuel Raymond, Esq. of New-Canaan,
delivered an oration at Poundridge, N. Y. on
the 4th inst. \Ve think we have heard of his
skill in getting “ over the feiice," before now,
though we did not expect to hear so soon _of
his being “over the line.”

TIER]!-‘IC EXPLOSION.--Tlte powder niaga-
zine at Pittsfield, Mass., containing 800 lbs. of
powder, was fired by some daring villains on the

ztigiz-'. of the ?=.2'tli inst. and a tc-rrril,-le r~.~:p‘.<.tsioo,

ensued. which. more or less, injured every build-
ing within 100 rods. The magazine wassituat-
ed in the burying ground. nearly in the centre
of the village. The damage done to the three
churches, the Town-House, the Medical College.
and several other buildings is estimated at $5000.

oration ofliis, delivered some few years ago, and
if he should be exasperated into a forgetfulness
of that discretion which is the better part of va-

with a sentetice or two of his own concocting.—

SUDDEN DinA'rtr.—M r. Lewis Mallory, a very
worthy and respectable inhabitant ofthizs villages
died at his residence. very suddenly. on Satur-
day morning last. He rose in usual liealtb,
(though he had complained a little. the day pre-
vious of fatigue. in consequence of recent hard
work at haying and exposure to the sun.) and
went out into his garden before breakfast—but
soon returned to'thc House, and appeared quite
ill. He failed very rapidly and in half an hour
was a corpse. His death - is
an apnplectic affection.

 

03;" The storm of Friday night was unusually
severe. The appearance of the heavens while
the storm of wind and rain was gathering. and
the vivid flashes of lightning arid the fearful
bursts ofthttnder \VfllCll marked its progress
were awfully sublime.

The storm occasioned much less damage in this
vicinity titan we atiticipated. The steamboat
Nimrod was just coming into our harbor when
the squall took her, carried away one of her
pipes. threw her on to _one side. and seriously
alarmed all on board. She succeeded, however,
in reaching the dock \vitliotit ftirtlier injury.

Several trees were blown clown. and others
struck by the lightning. We learn that a
school house in New-Canaan was struck by
lightning. and a barn blown over.

 

A 'l‘Ei'tIP.ES'I‘ IN A TEA'POT.
Bul-la-ma don! Bul-la-ma (loo!
Hear me too! Hear me too!

\Ve have received two communications from
Danbury, relative to the late celebration of the
-lthirist. at that place; both of which corrobo-
rate the statement which we tiiade, last week, in
correction ofour previous accoutit of it. And,
if any thing further was needed to confirm the
truth of this statement. a correspondent of the
Daubury Times, who styles himself “Honest
John” has furnished it. His object. however,
seems to have been any thing but to rectify a
mistake. But we are now upon the facts, and
he had held in a week longer, he might have
saved his useless expenditure of wind and tem-
per. For, he not only virtually aduiits the cor-
rectness of our article in general. but expressly
says. that the toast in question " was but the
opinion of one ittdividual, and was not drunk
with the rapturous applause oftlie whole party.”
He further admits, "that the sentiment was un-
callcdfor, and so considered by a majority pre-
sent." How “widely variant" is our account
of the matter from his own?

Johnny has optics sharp I ween.
To see what is not to be seen !

But he goes still farther with us, and impliedly
admits, that this unfortunate toast was “a stig-
ma on those who were engaged in that celebra-
tion." If we had not thought so too. we should
not have noticed it. And we are extremely
happy to find that "the seiitiuient” is so obnox-
ious to “Honest John;" thotigh we sincerely
hope that its utterance will not be the means Of
casting its free-tliitiking and open-moutlied au-
thor, out of the Loco-Foco Synagogue. He is
a worthy disciple of Fanny \Vright and Alex-
ander Ming. and his orthodoxy, and freedom of
speech. evinced by his toast, should only serve
to endear him to " the party" who worship al
the same shrine. He boasts, withal. of being
the first Jackson-man in Danbnry—aud this is,
surely. a tnantle broad enough to covera multi-
tude of sins. They are short of hands now, and
they cart but poorly afiiird to cast a titan over-
board till after next election, at any rate.

VVliat then is " Honest John” croaking about?
VVherein istlie discrepancy between his state-
tnentand that of the Gazette? As for ourselves.
we are really very much obliged to him for in-
dorsing our account of the matter; and our only
regret is, that in this extremely hot weather, he
has thought fitto lash himselfinto such a fury,
and to exhaust the vocabulary of Billingsgate in
We‘con-
fess that we have erred in occasionally endea-
voring to palliate the enormities, reconcile the
inconsistencies, and excuse the outrageous anti-
Republicanism of some of the leading Loco-Fo-
cos in Danbury; and this amiable weakness has
doubtless brought upon us the charge of being
a “ vehicleof slander"——a N hawk and buzzard”
afI'air——an utterer of “ base falsehood," &c. &c.

It often arouses toe to hear men impute all
their misfortunes to fate. luck. or destiny, while
their successes or good fortiiue they ascribe totlieir
own sagacity. cleverness. or penetration. It
never occurs to such minds that light ntid dark-
ness are one and the same. emanating front. and
being part of. the satne nature.

\Ve are none of us tolerant in what concerns
us deeply and entirely.

So Mr. Baker liezirt di-l plot-k.

A certain author said-—“Tlie most happy
marriage. I can picture or image to myself.
would be the union of a deaf titan toa blind

a fetv years ago. in Eiiglaittl.

Lamb one night weiitetl to demonstrate. after

“ \Vhat's that to you, you great goose C!” said
a strange gruff voice. '

"I beg your pardon; indeed, I took you for a
Frenchman."

" You did. did you !

And he knocked poor Liston ititothe gutter.

Lamb, once. in passing by Biilingsgate. was

There are many men, especially at ll).-., JUI-
set oflife, who, in their too eager desire for the
end, overlook the diflicnlties in the way ; there
is another class who see nothing else. The first
class may sometimes fail; the latter rarely suc-

ceed.

Steele was a man very social in his fcelirigs,
and extremely domestic in his tastes; but his
wife was not the most amiable of women, and
often chided when she Sll0lJl.l have soothed.

Though tired in heart and litnb!

He loved no othcrplace. and yet

A celebrated author was once asked. what he
thought of the Monthly Review or Magazine.
and of Dr. At’/cin, its editor. He replied, that
all men of science could attest that the one was
a t:-oirl Ai/sin, and the other “ an.ac/iing'tJoid.”

 

The New License Law.

The law regulating the sale of ardent spirits.
has been seized upon by the L120-Foco Federal
prints. forthe purpose ofexciting the indignation
of the ptiblic against the last Legislattire. and
the Republican party whom they so ably repre-
sented. Among the most prominent objections
raised against it is its partiality to the rich, as it
deprives a poor titan from purchasing ii—the
poor man not possessing the means to purchase
so large a quantity as five gallons.

Time has been when pure Republican princi-
plcs had the ascendancy in this state. when on
base political hypocrite da red to say ought against
the proceedings of our democratic Legislature.
In 1821, the laws’ of this state were revised by a
body of men, whose democracy was at that
period unquestionable. And they prohibited the
sale without license of any quantity under ten
gallons. Now. when a legislative body passes a
law reducing the restriction to_/ive gallons instead
..f ten, this is arisiocracy——“the asstinpiion of
old federalism”—u “strange feature" it: our
l.':‘-.-'32-an cfiorz to a';?o'.v the rich to " wallt.‘-w in

women, one of whom, taking up a knife. cut off

 

drunkenness at home.” to use the language of:

correspondent of the Federal Loco-Foco press in

this city. " while those of more limited means

are to be stinted, and made the humble vessels
of the honorable selectmen."

The conductors of the Farmer. by the intro-

duction intotheir columns ofthe remarks ofa cor-

respondenrttpon this subject. are guilty ofa base

attempt to mislead the public mind into the be-

lief. that in 1838, for a Republican VVliig Legis-
lature to prohibit the sale of spirituous liquors.
without license. in less quantities than five gal-
lons. under penalty of fifty dollars. is " the at-
sutn ption of old Federalism," an effort to deprive
thepoor from enjoying the privileges oftlie rich.
Notwithstanding the fact stares them in the face
tltal a Legislature in 1621. whose democracy
they dare not questi in. sanctioned the law.
which has continued totlie present year. prohibit-
ing the sale. by the same penalty. of any quanti-'
ty under ten gallons. The man. or the press.
which is guilty of such a base. unprincipled at-
tempt by falsehood and deception. to mislead the
public, and injure a party. is unworthy the con-
fiderirrcofany man. or set of men.

Atty qtiantity also, down to a tliimlile full, of
less. can. under the present la\v.‘be sold as here-
tofore. by the licensed retailers. The main
difference is. by the new law. any man. lodging
ti bond oftliree hundred dollars with the 'I‘owit
Clerk, conditioned to conform to the law. may re-
tail, while under the old law he had to obtain the
perniissiori oftlie civil authoritiesarid sclectrtien.
and pay five dollars and twenty -five cents.
These are the awful provisions oftlie " \Vhig.

The following Law passed at the late session
of Congress, has not been published in the
Washington papers. and as many are interested
in its provisions, we hasten to lay it before our
