to remove the gartnent would explode the shell.

it was discovered that the Indians had tied an op-

The lrumbug ofcharging the-distrcsses of the

the people, and they are turning upon their de-
ceivers with such an energy as will brook no op-

servants, and to approve their conduct when

Resolved, That we view with regret the con.
duct of our present Selecttnen and Town Clerk
. in admitting as electors at the late Spring elec-
tion persons unqualified by the Constitution or
Law of the State.
Resolved, That our Selectmen and Town
Clerk have departed from the principles of a
”Republican government, and forfeited the confi-
ence ofthe people, in allowing party feelings
to prejudice them to the public injury in admit-
ting electors in opposition to the Constitution and
the Law of this State, and are therefore just
objects of our censure and reproach.
Resolved, That ignorance of the Constitution

-. THE BROTHER JONATI~IA1\’.—BY an article
marked for our attention in the last number of
this paper, which, by the way, is made up of
the matter of some half dozen other hcbdoma-
dals printed on the same diggins, we perceive
that this mammoth sheet is to be enriched by the
. contributions of that prince of literary fops, Mr,
N. P. Willis. \Ve would referthose who have
a taste for light reading for a quantum sztfiir,-z't—to
the columns of the Jonathan, where the admi-
rers ofM r. W. will find his lucrubrations served
up in a very appropriate and becoming manner.
s We regret to_learn the Hon. John Adams
has dislocated or broken a collar bone, from a
fall on the floor of the House, occasioned by
striking his fo.ot against the straw matting with
which the floor of the Hall is covered.

to the venerable J. ‘Adams onitbe 18th inst.
was not as serious as stated. His shoulder blade
was dislocated, not fractured. After beingcon-
veyed to his residence, however, the shoulder
was restored to its socket, and regardless ofwhat
most men would consider a very strflicieut rea-
son for remaining at homc,'tlris faithful repre-
sentative, Will] his bandaged shoulder and disa-
bled right arm, was again at his post in the
House of Representatives at the usual hour of
meeting the next day.
Tm-1 Stznrmn L, in its struggles to retain rank
among the things that are, has uttered some
bold, and we cannot but believe wilful false-
hoods in reference to the circulation of the Ga-
zette. \Ve deem it proper toexpnsc these mis-
representations. Mr. McMillan,thc oat-meal-
aud-thistle patriot ,wlro with such commenda-
ble zeal is taking care of American freedom,
knows as well as we do that he was perverting
the truth tvheo he made the assertion that the
Gazette was “ not_seerr by one sixth of the in-
habitants of the District [Statnfortl] once a
year.” He knows from otrr post-rider. who is
the only rider that distributes the Sentinel, antl
who does so only with our consent, that the cir-
culation of our paper in thatdistrict is about four
times the number of the Sentinel distributed on
the satne route, and nearly equal to the whole
of the Sentinel's publication. He knows, too,
that should we refuse him the privilege of dis-
tributing his paper with the Gazette,he could not
sustain a rider. for those who have heretofore
carried the Sentinel have found it but a bootless
business to attempt to keep up a route with 75
papersa week, and therefore have been com-
pelled to give it up to our worthy rider, Mr.
McKenzie." Policy should induce the Sentinel
to keep quiet on this score. “Go, poor devil,
the world is wide euouglr for us both."

CONSERVATIVE STATE CONVEN-
TION.
The Conservatives held a State Conven-
tion at Saundt~r's’ Hall on lVednesduy last-
the best spirit generally prevailt-d, and many
able and patriotic addresses were made. \Ve
regret to say, however, that there were two
or three l‘OStlt"'SS spirits present, as there ever
will be in all pttrtits who want to rule or
ru-in; and from them the lVhigs l‘t‘C(‘lVt.‘(l
some undcscrved ccnsurc. The ittltl‘JOt'S,
however, were rebuked on the spot with
great effect by some of the disinter'csttrd and
patriotic friends of the cor_tntt'y. The ground
of complaint by the birds of prey was, that
that the VVhigs were illiheral and not dis-
posed to advance the Conservatives as they
deserved, 'c.‘ The cliarge was met by :1 ref-
erence to facts. The Whigs, said one ofthe
speakers, though a great and potverful party
in New York, while the Conservatives were
but a Spartan Band, rallied round the gal-
lant Tullmatlgc, overlotking their own able
men, and with a noble mzrgnanimity srrc.t‘i-
ficed all their personal prejudices and predi-
lections—tool< hitn to their‘ bosorns, and re-
stored him to the Senate. So they have
overcome even stronger pt‘cjudict=.s in Vir-
ginia, and wherever they have been able to
exercise their liberality and power. ‘They
have even given up their own Clay, whom
they almost idolizc, for the sake ofuffording
us and all other opponents of misrule, (1 corn-

But does it become us to set; up any claims

in numbers, and did not the whigs tell us
we were in error in continuing our support
to the administration long‘ before we made
the discovery ourselves ?—-Under these cir-
curnstanccs is it not our dutyto stand back and
let them lead ? VVe should be satisfied to
be in the ranks and in any position that
will aflorcl us an opportunity to defeat the
ruinous measures ofthe Adtninistration, and
overthrow their corrttptauthors. Let those
who fight for the “spoils of victory” go
with the “spoilsmen.” This was sound
doctrine, and doubtless had the right effect
Mr. Eldrige, Editor of the I-It1r'tfo1‘d Patriot
& Democrat, made an able speech much in
the same spirit. The opposite feeling came
from those who of all others had the least
reason to indulge in it—thosc to whom the
Whigs had given the most unlimited confi-
dence. New Hovcn Pallruiizmz.

ed to pass through the locks and canal: on
the river, drawing bttt little water, and quite
narrow. At the time of the explosion she
had four freight boats in tow, and had stopped
to attach a fifth. Bot.h boil.--rs burst at the
same time and the boat was so tnuch rt.-ut
that she sank immediately, carrying down
one of the frt-ight boats, in six feet water‘.
The captain (Crawford) was thrown high in
the air, and fell upon his head in one of the
freight boats, and stt1'vived but a few hours.
The engineer (Mr. TVood) was killed out-
right in the engine room, and one ofthe fire-
men was thrown some distance, but fell in
the water and was not materially httrt. Mr.
Lallin, the inventor and constructor of the
boilers, was on board for the purpose of ob-
serving their operation, and was so severely
wounded that there was little reason to hope
for his recovery. Two or three of the inert
belonging to the freight boats were slightly
injured. The smoke pipe of the steamer
was thrown into an adjoining field. The

with morethan usual malignity by the Loco

and he ” preparrerl‘ to take an?-r:a.ntagc” of eve-

PILLS.
V-'“r'"V'l‘1ESE pills raise. from the greatest wc.ak-
-E tress, tlistrcss, and sofiertrtg, to a state of
strength, he:-rlth, and ltappinr.-ss. The name of
these pills origittztzctl front the circumstance of
the medicine being fouutl only in the cerrwiries:
ofPersia. This vegetable production being of
a peculiar kind, led to experimcnts_as to its
metlical qualities and virtues. In hall a centu-
ry it became an cstaltlisiretl medicine for the
diseases ofthat country, Tire extract of this
singular production was introdtrcctl into some
parls of Europe in the year 3753, and used by
many celebrated pltyeicians itr curing certain
diseases, where all otl:_er trrcdicitws had been
used in vain. Early in the year 1792. the ex-
tract was combined with a certain vegetable
imported front Dura Baca, in the East Indies,
and forrrtod into pills. The zrrlrnirable effect of
this compound ttpon the lruman system, lctl phy-
sicians antl families into its gerrerul use. Their
long estalrlislrcd character, their universal and
healing virtues. the tletcrgcnt and clearrslng
qualities of their spccifrcial action upon the
glandular part ofthe system. are such as will
sustain their reputation and gcrrcral use in the
American Rcpuhlic. _ .
