the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child
will recover. This preparation is so in

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

acute sufferings, that it was attacked with
convulsions, and my wife and family sup

THE SITTING OF TWO DAYS.
The factious spirit of the Federal party
wn never -o signalized as in the proceed ng
of the sitting of the House, beginning w ith
Toes. lay morning, and ending on Wed
nesday, "t 5 p m. The measure before th;
Housj is one which his been resulted to
by the Government, from its birth to the
present hour, without prejudice. Trea
sury notes hive frequently been issued,
toanticipite the funds provided, but not
received into the Treasury; and, since the
dis ribution of the national revenue among
the Mates, and the suspension of ihe bulks,
owing millions to the Government, but
requiring its indulgence, it has been found
necessary to make temporary issues ofj
smali amounts of 'Treasury notes, payable
within ihe year, to enable the Treasury to
anticipate the revenue in course of collee-i
lion, ami meet the appropriations pressed!
upon it by Congress. Tnis measure is a relief
10 the merchants, and all others th.it have
payments to nuke to the Government;!
nd for this reason h s icceivuJ support
from some members of the Opposition,
vvhohaye opposed every other recommen
dation of the President, .whether they
thought it right or wrong. It will he seen
that Air. Evans and others, who took the
occasion in their speeches upon this very
bill to assail the Administration for polit
ical effect, concluded by declaring they
should vote for it. Even those of the On
position who vote againt this bill from fac
tious feeling, would not dare to do it, ii
their votes would defeat it. Tuey know
their constituents are interested in the
appropriations; they know that many ol
them, as debtors to the Government, hod
facilities through the Treasury - notes in
making their payments. They know,
theielore, hat lor the debtors and credi
tors of the Government alike for the
Government and 'the people that it is
salutary and necessary; and yet from the
mere madness of parly spite, they seek to
delay what they cannot defeat; and what
they dare not, if they could.
lJut wo would especially oil the attention
of the country to scan, in the transactions
of this double session of the House, the
means to which the desperation of the
Federal party is driven in its efforts
to embarrass the Administration. No
man can peruse the mere outlines,
(which is all the Reporters can give
of a struggle that filled up two days and a
night,) without perceiving that those who
carry on such a warfare, must hate the Go
vernment even more than they do the
Administration. The latier, when they
think ci olly, they must know is not affect
ed injuriously by such a display of their
malice; but they mut be sensible that such
conduct cannot fail to bring our popular
representative institutions into discredit
with other Governments, and shake the.
confidence of thousands of our own people
If the Federal parly strike a successful
blow to weaken the hold of the House of
Representatives upon public confidence,
they make the main pillar of our political
edifice totter in its base. ,
It was, then, to have been expected that
the organ of the Federal paity would at
tempt to disguise the motives of the shame
ful scene in the House. Accordingly, the
Editor of the National Intelligencer conies
out wit,h the following bit of tact:
"The subject was the hill for an issue of
the 'Treasury notes, and the struggle ap
pears to have been betwe en the Wings, who
desired to be heard upon it, and the friends
of the Administration, who desired to force
the bill out of the Committee of the whole
sous to bring in within the control of the
previous question, by which the debate
might be slopped and the bill put on its
passage." '
I his is in perfect k
eepins with the
conduct of Mr. Barnard, wi.o was the
Federal leader on Hie oceaion. It is a
poor piece of deception. We will recapi
tulate me History 01 the bill, and present
the real state of fict-, and leave the public
to draw its conclusions as to the motives
of the Opposition.
The bill was taken up on the
12th March. Mr. Jones, chairman of
the Committee of Ways and Mean, open
ed the debate, and spoke about an hour and
a half ami was followed by Mr. dishing,
who occupied the remainder of the day.

by Messrs. dishing, King, and Bond.

Vauderpoel.
24th March. By Messrs. Trumbull,
Evans, Thompson of South Carolina, Nis
hct, Habersham, Biddle, and Warren; and
at 6 o'clock p. m. Mr. Barnard obtained
the floor, pleaded physical inability to
speak, and occupied the House, in mo
tions that the committee rise, until next
day. .
Now we ask our readers to look to our
"5S i5 5 .1-
I columns and decide on the conduct of
Mr. narnard, and those who supported
him :n the proceeding", beginning on the
2 4th- Only two friends of the Administra
tion had spoken on the bill. 'Twelve on the
other side had been fully heard. Mr. liar
nard rose, and said he wished to bf heard. &
tb.3 Houe very patiently attended to hear
him. IW instead of proceeding, he pre
tended ''physical inability," and moved
thatHhe committee rise." The proposition
was voted down, 90 to 53. There is no
doubt but the House would have adjourn
ed, if it had believed that Mr. Barnard wa
unable to speak, and reallv wished to be
h'ardupon the question then pending.
But he was not believed, and he give ah
solu'e demonstration, in the end, that his
statement was untrue. He continued in the
House, harassed it fourteen hours, by
successive motions that the committee
rise, and that the House adjourn, (his
friends and himself running out frequently,
so that no quorun could be formed to
report the bill for the decisive action of,
-he Hons0.) nnd after this exhausting
process throughout the night, and un'ii
about ten o'clock the next d;iy,-this sick
man began a speech, which he pretended
'physical inability" to make, and spoke. for
nearly three hours, delivering an argument
concocted evident y to operate on the In
dependent 'Treasury bill, and not that un
der discussion! !
Although this well understood bill, fully
discussed at previous sessions, had been he
fore the House from the 12th to the 24th ol i
the month allho twelve members of the
Opposition bail been heard upon it, the
majority were yet willing to sit& hear any
whj were prepared to speak. Neverthe
less, it appeais from the record, that Mr.
Barnard and his friends were continually
moving to rise and to adjourn, and actually
prevented all debate, by calls for the yeas
and nays, although pretending that they
wished debulcW They repeatedly ran out
to break up a quorum, or, in other words,
by a revolutionary act, destroy the body
ilself, as it regards its business faculties;
and still the Editor of the Intelligencer
asserts that the friends of the Administra
tion endeavored to force the committee to
rise, to cut off debate. The Democratic
party made no such motions, nor voted
for any such motions. They were re
solved to sit out the question, or bring
the minority to some terms, which
would fix a period for the despatch of a
measure which was an indispensable pre
liminary to, the passage of the appropri
ation bills now in progress, and essential
to the puhlic interest. 'These biljs could
not be pissed until the supplies were pro
vided; and it was to delay these produce
ditrcs among the people and discredit the
Government, that induced the shameful
conduct on the part of the Opposition,
which our columns disclose.

sin claims that the true boundary is marked
by a line drawn due west from the South

lit. 41 :?7, while Illinois claims as far
North as 42 30.. The difficulty seems to
have arisen from the language of different
acts of Congress, in which the Southern
bend of Lake Michigan and the latitude of
42 30, are spoken :of 'as being identical,
while in fact they are not. According to
the ordinary maps now in use, Chicago is

The Boundary Question. The Lon
don Weekly Dispatch of the 16th ult.
speaking of affairs in this country, says:
"'The accounts received from the U. S.
are of a threatening aspect. The scientific
men sent out by the British Government
to survey the disputed territory, are said
to have reported that, according to the
letter, the whole of the disputed land
belongs to Great Britain and the full
strength of the nation will be put out
to enforce our right. The Amcricm Gov
ernment are disposed to assume a decisive
tone upon the business.
new Engine of Destruction. A late
London paper mentions that a new pro
jectile has been invented by a Captain
Warner, wh'ch is capable of destroying
vessels of the strongest structure. A boat
very firmly built was recently chosen by
the inventor as the subject of an expei iment.
'The missile was thrown by his own hand,
so as to touch the vessel just above the
water line; Jt exploded the instant it struck
the mark, quite heaving the vessel out f f
the water, and scattering the planks in ten
thousand pieces. . 'The account adds that
The whole destruction was tff. cted by
the agency of lvo and a half pounds of
combustible matter, projected by ah instru
ment .of perhaps ten or a dozen pounds
weight. There was no recoil whatever, nor
any smoke or noise, till the shell itself explo
ded against the vcsel, and then the percus
sion oi air was tremendous, as it threw down
the nearest .-pettator and was felt at a still
greater distance like the discharge of an
eighty pounder at least. At Kingston it
created a great commotion, as the explosion
was attributed to the powder mills at Houn
slow; ami since the fact has become known
tli3 excitement has greatly increased.
No vessel of the line probably could have
withstood the shock, or escaped total des
truction" fiom even the small quantity of
conbuslibles experimented with. Themes;
singular circumstance perhaps, is, lhal not
the slightest discoloration was visible on
any of tne fragments. The power con
sequently, is quite novel, and the secret
jealously kept."
Important Discovery. The follow
ing is a description of a new invention,
applicable to locomotive engines, which is
considered by a number of scientific men,
(as railway travelling is proceeding so
rapidly) well calculated to supply & deside
ratum, and which is likely to prove a great
national benefit, by reducing the expense,
and increasing the safety of intercourse.
The advantages of it are First,the conden
sing of the steam alter it escapes from the
cylinders, and the water produced there
by returned to the' boiler to be wrought
over again and again, by which means the
boiler is rendered more durable, being kept
perfectly free of incrustation or deposit of
any kind; and no stoppage is required to
take in watery of course freeing the engine
of the burden of carrying a supply along
with it. Second, The air that supports
the combustion of the fuel is considerably
heated previous to entering the ash-pit; by
which the smoke is completely consumed
although fresh coal be used in the furnace.
Consequently a greatsaving in the consump
tion of fuel is effected. It is pleasant to
add, that an experiment has been made
with the apparatus, whieh is exceedingly
simple, and ha been found to answer all
'lie purposes intended, and for which a
patent is in pi-ogress. The inventors are

nious talents are likely to be of as great
benefit to their country as those of their
father, the late Wm. Symington, celebrated

7JA species of flax has been found
growing spontaneously in the country ad
jacent to tlie Rocky Mountains, similar in
many respects to the ordinary flax, but
perennial in its growth. It may be mowed
like grass, and need not be pulled up
every season. Mr. Oakley, who travelled
through the country on the head waters of
the Platte, last year, describes a vast prai
rie, th'nty miles long and three miles broad,
covered with a thick growth of this flax.
It is said to be of a rtrong tenaceous fibre,
and is used by the Indians to make fishing
ne?s, If this plant should be found equal
to the flax which is now cultivated in this
country in respect to fineness and strength,
its perennial nature will give it a decided
superiority, and render the culture of it far
more easy and productive.

Maine and Georgia. Some time
ago it may be remembered, that the
Legislature of Georgia passed a sc
ries of resolutions, asking the inter
position of Congress for the adjust
ment of the controversy between that
state and Maine, growing out of an
attempted escape by two slaves, on
board a vessel belonging to Maine
or rather out of a demand on the
Executive of Maine, for the surrender
of two citizens of Maine, supposed to
have been aiding in our privy to the
intended escape. As usual, the
Senators of Georgia in Congress wrere
instructed, and the Representatives
requested, to support the resolution.
Hut six of the latter, Messrs. Alford,
Dawson, Habersham, King, Ncsbit,
and Warren, have refused compliance
and their letter, setting forth their
reasons, occupies neatly two columns
of the Savannah Georgian. The snb
tance of it is, that the interposition of
Congress would be an infringement
upon the rights and sovereignty of
Georgia. They say Georgia must
rely upon her own strong arm for
redress and vindication of her rights.
