If mothers who hivetheir little babes afflicted with these distressing symptoms, would apply Dr William Evans's Celebrated Soothing Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of infants when thought past recovery, from being suddenly attacked with that fatal malady, convulsions. This infallible remedy lias preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past recoverv. from convulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. This preparation is so in nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no ap pearance of teeth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children; for if a child wakes in (he night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediaiely gives ease by open ing the pores and healing the gums; there by preventing Convulsions, Fevers, Sic. i To the Agent of Dr. rCvnus' Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir The great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by 3 our ' Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted - and painful dentition, must convince every feeling parent how essential an early ap plication of such an invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and torture.

A warning. A sad accident occurred in the neighborhood of Belhania, Stokes county, on the 7th inst. A young mnn by the name of Richard Glenn, being at a horse race and somewhat intoxicated attempted to run a mare through the pith. When about half way through, the mare 'flew the track, and threw her rider violently against a tree, injuring him so b ully that he died within a day or two. Greensboro Patriot. HON. R. M. SAUNDERS. If any thing were wanting to establish the soundness of this gentleman's princi ples, it might be found in the course pursued towards him by the federal press of North Carolina. Unable, to assail his political tenets and aware that his whole public' life has been in entire accord ance with the republican faith, the federal papers are sedulously endeavoring lo make up a talse issue betore the ppople ot the State, in order to conceal the hideous defor mities of their own candidate from public view. in pursuance ot this ooject, they have piraded before the public a memorial of the Guilford Quakers, who call them selves the "Manumission Society of North Carolina," which Judge Saunders piesented to the House of Representatives in 1824, about sixteen years ago when he represent-! ed the Guilford District in Congress, li will be borne in mind that in that time, the Abolition Societies, now so numerous and mischievous throughout the non-slive-holding States, were not in existence, and consequently no excitement was produc ed by the Quaker memorials, which were not confined to one section of the country more than another, but were sent to mem bers of Congress from slave-holding, as well as from non-slaveholding Stales and in every instance, were presented to Con gress by those to whom they were in trusted. v Upon presentation, they were sometimes read and referred, and, some times, laid upon the table, without being read. This has been a uniform custom up lo a low years back, when the constantly increasing strength of the abolitionists, and the fanatical & dangerous doctrines dissemi nated by them, impelled Congress to with hold from their petitions that respect with which they had before been treated. The memorials of 1S24 were as unlike those of the present day as two things having the same object in view could possibly be. Those of individuals opposed to slavery, it is true, but small in number and harmless and inoffensive in their character. The question of principle involved now, or the right of Congress to reject these peti tions, had not at that period been mooted, and every Congress, from 1790 down to afjLO years past, had received them. It is not a little singular that Mr. Shep herd, who represented this same Guilford district in Congress, and who, in 1S30, six years after the presentation of the memor i al by Judge Saunders, presented lo Con grcss a similar memorial from the same people, should entirely escape the censure of these federal editors, whilst the course of Mr. Saunders is denounced with bitter ness. If we are told that Mr. Shepherd is not before the people, we reply that he has been before the people ever since ihe presentation of the Quaker petition, until he was beaten by Mr. Hill, last ye.'.r, and we saw not a word aboul abolition petitions in any of ihe federal papers of the State. If their ob ject were fairness and truth, they should have issued extras during the last canvass in that District, showing to the peo ple that Mr. Shepherd, as late as 1830, and after there had been some excitement on the question of abolition, presented to Con gress an abolition memorial. Rut mark you, gentle reader, Mr. Shepherd was a "whig," and these same" Qtn ker memorialists were bis friends and sup porters of Mr. Morehead, & the opponents, as they have ever been, of Saunders and the Democracy. Were we disposed to employ the weapons of these federal editors, we could show from the Journals of the Legislature, a few years back, that Ihe course of Mr. More head on this subject has been as except tioname as mat ot ivir. rviuuuers, to say the least of it. But we wish each candid ate to stand upon his known and avowed political principles, and, upon ihem to rise or fall. One would suppose from the extraordinary horror these federal editors express at the mere presentation of an abolition petition, that they are the champions of the South on this great and impoitant question. They would fain make the people of North Car olina believe that therj is great danuer to be apprehended from the election of a gen tleman, born and raised in the State, who, some sixteen years ago when there wss no excitement in the .country upon the sub ject, presented a Quaker petition lo Con gress; but at the same lime, ask the same people to elevate to ihe Presidency 01 the U. States, a man whose dearest object is to see the whole surplus revenue ot the country applied to the emancipation of the slaves of the South!" Most profound logicians are these federal editors, truly! I he people ot North uarolina are not to be gulled with such stuff. They see into the schemes of these federal scribblers. A- ware that the principles of Mr. More head will not bear the scrutiny of the pub lic, the federalists are endeavoring to divert public attention from them, by creating a false impression in relation to his opponent. They dare not make a: direct charge of this kind against Judge Saunders, because, they know, it would receive the indigna tion and contempt of every honest man in the community. V e shal now conclude this article, already loo long, and, not con tent with defending our candidate, we shall, in some future number, carry the war into Africa. IVarrenton Rep. Gen. Harrison condemned by his own Biographer. Mr. Davson, the biogra pher of Gen. Wm. H. Ilanison, says, that "there are two qualifications lacking in the character of General Harrison, which neither riches, poverty, or honesty, can compensate for. He wants the talent requi red for the proper exercise of the powers vested in the President of a great nation; and ho holds political principles which arc repudiated by a Democratic Republican people, who alone can raise him or any other candidate to that dignified station. Either of those two qualifications lacking 1 him or any other candidate, renders them unfit for the office, let them be ever so poor, ever so rich, or so hon est; and it is upon those alone that we would ever oppose ihe elevation of any man. It is true, continues Mr. Dawson, (,vve vvrote ihe Biography of Gen. Harison, it is equally true'that we defended him from the senders of some of those wfio now pro fess to be his most ardent friends but it is equally true that, in our immediate in tercourse with him, though we saw every thing was amiable and honorable in his demeanor and character, we never could perceive that superiority of talent that could recommend him to any intelligent man as a fit person to occupy the Presiden tial chair." Wilmington Gazette. (JpThe Washington Correspondent of ihe Philadelphia Inquirer states a rumor, that Mr. Clay is about to retire to pri vate life. Such declations may do to grace a Speech or adorn a tale. We venturejto say, that Mr. C. entertains no such inten tions: and it is certain, that we have heard of no such whisper duringhis stirring visit to this city. The signs cannot be mistaken that Mr. C. looks to the succession after the first term of the "Military Chieftain:" There is as much truth in this story, as there is in the rumor that Mr. Van Buren's friends intended lo withdraw him. Richmond Enq. A Flare up. The New York Corres pondent of the Philadelphia North Amer ican, under dale of the' ' 13th February, says lflwere a gossip correspondent it would be my duty to give you, in long detail, ihe particulars of an affair which has furnished matter for animated conver sation in our high ton circles for the last two weeks. A wealthy merchant's family lost sundry articles of plate, among which was an old pitcher which was much valued, and peculiarly marked on the handle. He advertised his" pitcher, and the advertise ment was seen by a silversmith, who found that a curious handle which he had saved from a pitcher he bought, corresponded with the description. He saw the adrer tiser, and informed him that he had ihe handle that he bought the pitcher of a wealthy lady," of whom he had bought great quantities of similar articles for years past. The disclosure was astoun ding, for the lady was an intimate Acquaint ance. The truth; however, Was too evi dent, and the lady was sent for. She was at a party, and on being called for there, stepped into her coach and rode to the house where were the parties. She was told of the facts, and charged with the theft. - She denied the whole, and appeal ed to her known wealth as proving want of motive. " i She h:ul pantries full of plate, a husband rich and respectable, and a separate income of her own of So', 000 a year. After some further communication she returned and finished her evenu g at the party. Proof came too. thick, however, for resistance, and in a few days it sto' d confessed that for some six ytaispast this rich lady had been in the practice of calling on her friend in her coach, with a cloak and muff in winter, and other suitable dresses in sum mer, and regularly robbing them of every thing valuable on which he could lay her hands. In one instance, while waiting in the parlor for tlfe lady of the house to come down, she secured five pieces of plate, one of which was a lare tea iraj1, and after wards had a pleasant conversation with the robbed lady and went away. J .. . i r 1 1 Ut course all the details ci wna nappenea among forty diffeicnl families, will afford new food for talk this n.onui to come." iTT'The Governor of Alabama has of- fpred a reward of 1000, for the appre hension of the incendiaries who atfempted to set fire to the University at Tuscaloosa. i
