the most exposed-—and the most beautiful when
properly cared for. of all the gifts of the Crea-

or scurf with a certainty that the hair cannot
fall out, by the use of the Balm of Columbia.
Ladies, will you make your toilet without this

A hundred articles have been put forth on

Of woe and guilt and const:iei_ice stings;

MAJOR DOWNING AGAIN.
\'VAsiitNc'roi-t. Sept. 14. A. D. 1841.
.Mr. Etl/Ilors.—-\Ve have had pretty busy
lltlIt’S here I tell you, and I thought for it
spell that I and ‘ Capt. T_i/fer,’ would he
left alone. I was sitting along with him
telling liitn a story about a qtiarrcl I once-
hiid on board the Two Pollrcs. when the
creiv and officers got into a snarl ivitli Capt.
Jumper, on account of his not allowing them
an extra alloivaiiice of grog. The Capting
had joined the temptarance societ_v——:ind he
tell’d his crew and officers that he had will-
ingly give ’cm the extra coffee, and sugar,
and ten, btit as for grog he had some Con-
S[lll11lOllttlSCl'Upl(-‘S about it, and they knew it.
But ketching the Capiing ‘ 017‘ Nztnluc/tel
S/roles’ one day, they ptit in their claim for
extra grog, and tcll’d him if he did not give
it they would quit. He tcll’d them if they
would only give him time, he would fix the
grog for them; but they would not wait.--—
‘ Well then,’ says he. ‘ you get none at all
this trip.’ And so they all jumped over.
board and swum ashore, except M7‘. N3/e l/ta
firs! Male. He said it was true ciiuf. he
wanted his grog. but could not see a good
reason for quitting the ship because he
could not get it, seeing as how he had
signed the articles to go the voyage, and the
owners and tinderivriters expected him to do
his duty, and so he stuck by Capt. Jumper,
and them two and myself, the only passen-
ger, had to turn to and work like good fel-
lers to keep the Two Pollies in Clt-Z‘F.‘p”\\"c1le|',
and we sticcceded, and got her safe into port.
VVe fotind, on arrival, some ofthe folk who
left us had been telling all kinds of stories;
but the shippers and uriderivriters looked
more to the safety of the Two Pollies, and
they voted Capting Jumper a new chrononi-
etor and a setof Blunt’s Charts, and to Mr.
Nye. the first mate, they gave him a new
pea jacket and pair ofmittens; and as I was
the only passenger they voted that I should
always have a free passage on boa rd any ves-
sel they had interest in—-providcd I would,
if required, lend a liaud at pumping. and give
good advice. .
Just as I was about finishing this story to
Capting Tyler, and he was saying that he
thought Capting Jutnper and Mr. Nye de-
sarved all they got and he was about saying
I dcsarved more, when in cotne a hull raft
of resignations of his Cabinet; he looked
for a spell pretty streaked, and I kept my
eye on him to see if he had any thing ofthe
Capt. Jumper grit in him. Says he ‘Ma-
jor, here is trouble. but we will see the eend
out.’ On looking over the resignations we
did not see Mr. VVcbster’s. ‘ \Vell,’ says I
- Cctpling Tyler, if you and I and Mr. Web-
ster can’t carry on the Government till we
get another Cabinet it will be a hard matter
for. says I ‘I have seen rtiffer times than
this when Iand Gen. Jackson made smooth
water of it-—and with that he took a quid of
the vale ‘ lionc_t/ due,’ and says he. ‘ Major if
you and Mr. \’Vebster stick by me, all the
rest of creation may go to Ohio. and Ken-
_‘tuck_v, and North Carolina, and New York
' iftht.-y desire it——and Massrtch-usells and old
V/jrgin.n_i/ and (lawn cast will hang together
as in old times and teach the world that the
country is safe,’ and with that he and I
shook hands, and I tcll’d him there was
nothing to fear though much to be sorry for
—but that I would stick by him till every
ofiice seeker had worked out his reckoning.
and by letting them tell their own story the
people would understand how the catjump’d.
"Why.’ says he, 'Major, there was no

ernment because I could not agree with
them about the; B-«ink Bill, than it was for
the crew to swim on shore from the Two

ingjustnow, and then says be. ‘some on ’em
say that because they can’: Stay with honor
no body else can——ilthis is true, than no
man of honor can take their places and the
Government is without a cabinet according
to that notion. T
‘ Vlfell’ says I, ‘Capt. Tyler, one man's
notions is one thing and another man's no-
tion is another thin:r—-for my part, says I,

Beautiful extract from .the Address of
Peabody. at the Consecration of the Spring-
field Cemctery. ‘on the 5th instant :—-
“ ‘When I saw this great audience Just
now, winding upthrough the glad»-s of the
Cemctary to take their places on this ground
I was deeply affected with the thought, lioiv
soon we shall take our places in the dust be-
low. VVith this deep thought upon otir
minds-—with these hills and vullies around
us——in presence of these venerable trees and
these sparkling waters—ivitli the green earth
beneath, and God’s own briglit sky above
us—I need not ask your attention——I need
not labor to bring you to solemnitv . for I
doubt not that a voice is now sayitiginfcvcrv
heart, ‘the place whereon thou standcst is
holy ground.’
‘Reflect how many tenants will soon be
here, to claim their freehold in the dust be-
low. One fair and gentle chiltl has already
cori'ie——a fitting herald to take possession in
the name of all the dead. Here he has laid
himselfdown on a colder pillow than a moth-
crs breast. Many such will soon be.here—-
morning stars qtienched in the brightness of
their rising——hefore they have known the
strains and sorrows of life below. Children
in tender years will follow'their parents to
this place; the domestic circles will be fear-I
fully broken, and thenceforth the tvide world
will be their home. The husbrmd will fol-
low the wife—-the light and joy of the deso-
ttick’ were filling the Senate chamber with
their mellow reverherations, chaining all_
the throngs in inute attention,andpresenting
one of those magnificent illustrations of the
power of mind. The subjectin debate was
weighty. the orator was profoundly interest-
ed in the result,.and acting what no words
could say, he fuemintited ‘ with winnowing
words and heavenly eloquence.’
In the midst of the successive outbursts of
passionate and profound eloqiierice, you
might have heard the word so charminglv
pronotinced by him, - I
‘ Mr, President,’ and then followed a sig-
nal for snuff. It was unhceded : his friend
was too deeply captivated to notice any thing
but tlicspea/sing titan.
‘ Mr. President,’ resounded again, at the
opening of the next paragraph, and then
came another rap for some snuff. ‘ In the
bill made and provided,’ said he, and he paus-
ed for a moment, with a wishful look to-
tvartls his friend, btit the stitnulant ‘made and
provided’ for his ‘bill’ not appearing, he
went on to the end of another splendid emu-
lation of thrilling periods. At length the
steam was up to the highest pressure, and
the explosion followed:
‘Mr. President! i’ said he, in tones of
mingled grief and exasperation, and the next
monierit added in an under tone, ‘Give me
some snuff!’ VVhcreupon ‘ Old Dick’ grin-
ned, the waiting boys ran for the box, the
grave Senator laughed outright, and the host
of spectators absolutely roarcd.
Mr. Clay, with the tact and self-control
so peculiar to him, joined in the sport at his
own expense, took his snuff, and resumed
his speech. ‘ His honorable friend,’ it is
said, has responded to his first rap ever since.
Tem7.trtlion.—-Mark_the character ofgeverv
associate; look into it with penetrating eye.-,
and if you see the equilibrium of his mind
bcgiiiiiiiig to fall on the side to immortaliti
and vice, lots-.ike his company instantly, lest
you be assimilated into his practices, and hu-
drawn itiiperct-ptibly into those paths \\‘l]‘r'l-
you now detest and abhor. Yield but once
to the tcmpter and a thotisrind chances to one
that you are undone. The principles that
have been iiiculcated in childhood, and
folloivcd tip day by day, and year by year,
will be forsaken and the grey hairs of those
who have loved and cherished you will be
brought in sorrow to the grave. Perhaps
you think the language oftliose who address
you too strorig—that their fears are groundless.
Can it be ? An angel’s eloquence could not
be too powerful, when such a gem as the
immortal mind is at stake. VVere you tremb-
ling oti the verge of a crumbling precipice,
you uiiglit well say; that strong exertions in
your behalf were vain and futile. It is not
your body alone that is in’ je'opai"dy. It is
the unseen principle within; the spark lit
up by Deity himself. which the?’ Atlantic
cannot qticnch, nor the Alps conceal. They
consider no exertions too great on their part
to save the gem unt1rnished—as immaculate
and bright as when it came,froni its Creator;
that when it bursts away from its frail casket
it may wing its way to holier worlds. to
shine with increasing splendor when the uni-
verse is blotted from existence. VVe appeal to
you young men. and ponder the question
well. can you be too careful of entering into.
temptation? Turn away with disgust from
the appearance of evil. Parley not with it.
Look from it, and you will be safe: and
many hearts will be gladdened to see you
come forth into active life, purified by adhe-
renceto the advice of those in whom you
should put implicit confidence.
Portland Tribune.
.7. Q. Adar/is and III-r. WcI2sler.—It is
not true. as has been so confidently stated, that
Mr. Adams had advised Mr. \Vebstei', after
the appearance of Mr Eiviiig’s statement, to
resign. The facts are these :—On Tuesday
after the appearance of Mr. E\ving’s
statement, Mr. A. called on Mr. \Vebster, and
remarked, in substance, ifall wasjust as Mr.
Ewing had written, he did not see how Mr.
Webster would be able to hold on.-—-“Your
position is very critical. Still I will not give
you my advice.” On the next day (\Vednes-
day) Mr. Adams called at the State Depart-
ment again, and said he would retract all
that he had said (of doubt) as to Mr Webstei"s
holding his situation. “Come what will,”
late home. and the wife, the husband, on
whose arm she had hoped to lean through
all her days. The young, sinking under
the slow torture ofdisease, will flce away .2.
be at rest in this holy ground ; the :iged,iaf-
ter years of labor and sorrow. will de_nat"t to
this place in peace. The pale marble will
rise every where around us, telling of the
dead, sometimes what they were, but still of.

ofthe Court of Oyer and Tcrminer having
found a true bill against Jo/in C. Coll for
the murder of Samuel Adams, the accused
was on Tuesday 28th, taken from the City
Prison and brought, heavily ironcd, into the
chamber of the Assistant Aldermen. His
irons-were taken off, and he was conducted
into Court, before Judge Kent antl Alder-

indictment. His Counsel however moved

will be called upon to plead guilty or not

Counsel, a copy of the indictment was order-

manded, his irons again put on him, and he
conducted to prison. His appearance is
that of a man struggling with intense energv
to stifle terrible feelings thatseem to vex his
soul ; and this continue contest with his own
heart has already given to his countenance
a haggard and most repulsive aspect. He is

boats on the Niagara river,-—tlie seizure and

Vt., by a party of British" Dragoons in the
dead of night,—and a general movement of
the disaffected along the frontier, in the hope
of etnbarrassirig still more the relations be-
tween this country and England,-—all these
things added to previously existing causes of
excitement, must make the frontier rather a
hot place just now. VVe look with much
interest to the course pursued by the Provin-

If they justify his seizure and abduction, \vt>.
do not see but all our frontier people are li-
able to be seized in the same way. Of course
such a state of things'cannotbe submitted to.
Grogan claims to be on American citizen ;—
at all events he was within our territory
when seized. The violation of our territory
was the same. whether he was a citizen or
only sojourner. But we trust the actwill
be promptly disavowed by the Canadian au-
thorities, and Grogan discharged. Such a
course is due alike to themselves, and to us.

A-m.erz'ca.—-A Proclamation.
\’_Vhereas it has come to the knowledge of
the government of the U. S. that sundry se-
cret Lodges, Clubs, or associations exist on
the Northern frontier; that the members of
these lodges are bound togétlier by secret
oaths; they have collected fire arms and
other military materials, and secreted them
in sundry places; and thatlit is their purpose
to violate the laws of their country by ma-
king military and lawless inctirsions, when
opportunity shall offer. into the territory of
a power with which the United States are at
peace ; and whereas it is known that travel-
ling agitators, from both sides of the line, visit
these lodges, and harrangue the members in
secret meeting, stimulating them to illegal
acts; and whereas the same persons are
known to levy contributions ontheignorant
and credulous for their own benefit, thussup-
porting and enriching themselves by the ba-
sests means;and whereasthe unlawful inten.
tions ofthe membersloftheselodges have been
manifested in an attempt to destroy the lives
and property of the inhabitants of Chippewa,
in Canada, and the public property of the
British governtnentthere being, Now, there-
fore, I John Tyler, President of the United
States, do issue this my proclamation, admon-
ishing all such evil-minded persons of, the
condign punishment which iscertutn to over-
take them, assuring them that the laws of the
United States will be rigorously executed
against their illegal acts; and that ifin any
lawless incursion into Canada they fall into
the hands of the British authorities, they
will not be reclaimed as American citizens
nor any interference made by this govern.
ment in theirlbehalf.
And I exhort all well meaning but delud-
ed persons who may have joined these lodges
immediately to abandon them, and to have
nothing more to do with their secret meetings
or unlawful oaths, as they would avoid se-
rious consequences to themselves. And I
expect the intelligentand well-disposed mem-
bers ofthe community to frown on all these
unlawful combinations and illegal proceed-
ings.- and to assist the government in_ maili-
taining the peace of the country against the
mischievous consequences of the acts of these
vioiators ofthe law. Given under my hand
at the city of Viashington, the 25th day
of Sept. A. D. 184.1, and of the Inde-
pendence cfthe United States the 66th.:
