SOOT! UNO SYRUP
For children Teething,
PREPARED BY HIMSELF.
To Mothers and Xurses.
HE passage of the Teeth through the
gums produces troublesome and dan
gerous symptoms. It is known uy moth
ers that there is great irritation in the
mouth and gums during this process. The
gums swell, the secretion of saliva is in
Creased, the child is seized with frequent
end sudden fiis of crying, watchings, start
ng in the sleep, and spasms of peculiai
fiarts, the child shrieks with extreme vio
ence, and thrusts its fingers into its mouth.
If these precursory symptoms are not spee
cJily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni
versally supervene, and soon cause the
dissolution of the infant. If mothers who
jiave their little babes nfilicted 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 lalal
malady, convulsions.
1 This infallible remedy has preserved
hundreds of Children, when thought past
recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
I 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 the 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, &c.
i To the Agent of Dr. Evans1 Soothing
Syrup: Dear Sir The great benefit
a Horded to my suitering imam uy your
Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted
land painful dentition, must convince every
feeling parent how essential an early ap
plication of such an invaluable mediciue
is to relieve infant misery and torture. My
infant, while teething, experienced such
acute sufferings, that it was attacked with
convulsions, and my wife and family sup
posed that death would soon release ihe
babe from anguish till we procured a hot
tie of your Syrup; which as soon as ap
plied to the gums a wonderful change was
produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by con
tinuing in its use. I am glad to inform
you, the child has completely recovered,
and no recurrence of that awful complaint
has since occurred; the teeth are emana
ting daily and the child enjoys perfect
health. I giveyou my cheerful permission
to make this acknowledgment public, and
will gladly give any information on this
circumstance.
When children begin to be in pain with
their teeth, shooting in their gums, put a
little of the Syrup in a tea-spoon, and
"with the finger let the child's gums he
rubbed for two or three minutes, three
times a day. It must not be put to the
breast immediately, for the milk would
take the syrup off too soon. When the
teeth are just coming through their gums,
mothers should immediately apply the sy
PJ it will prevent the children having a
ever, and undergoing that painful opera
tion of lancing the gums, which always
makes the tooth much harder to come
through, and sometimes causes death.

From the Washington Republican.
Our readers will find, on reference to
the proceedings of a public meeting, held
on Tuesday evening, the 2d inst. published
below, that HENRY I. TOOLE, Esq.,
has been selected as the Republican candi
date in this county, for a seat in our next
Legislature. We congratulate, not only our
political friends, but the great mass of in
telligence throughout the county, .
Mr. Toole's acceptance of the nomination;
and feel assured that a more able or zaa" .s
supporter of Constitutional and Southern
rights could not have been selected. His
intimate acquaintance with political history,
undoubted talents, together with his legal
attainments and experience, qualify him in
a peculiar manner to perform the duties ol
legislator. As to the political tenets
cherished by him, we recognise as pre
eminent a love ol Constitutional liberty; a
sincere regard for the reserved rights of
me ruaius; ;m aumuieu auacumeni io sou
thern institutions; a watchful eye to the ap
proach of federalism in any disguise: and
an honest and warm devotion to the inter
cuts of his native State.

Court house, in the town of Washington,
on the Evening of Tuesday, June 2d, 1840,

The committee having retired, Mr.
Toole addressed the meeting on political
subjects; but more particularly touching the
principles which divide parties in the pres

the Harrison and federal parties. Mr. T.

mittee, who reported the following reso
lutions, which were adopted by the mee-
ing.
Resolved, That the high character for in
tegrity and large experience of SAMUEL
CLARK, Sen., together with the facts
that he for many years served the people
of Hyde County as Sherill and as mem
her of the Legislature, and resides in the
vicinity of, and possesses considerable tree
hold interests in, that county; and may,
therefore, be presumed to possess an inti
mate knowledge of the wants and interests
of both counties, recommend him as an
eminently proper person to represent the
Senatorial district of Beaufort and Hyde,
in the next Legislature, therefore.
Resolved, That this meeting do unani
mously nominate him as a candidate.
The committee having performed the
duly assigned, the members from Hyde
were discharged, and those Irom Beaulort

4 talented gentleman, deserving Re
G publican suffrages. The following preamble

r a luttee:
,QJVhereas, Inasmuch as the County of
p gaufort is divided ny two parties, both
ia unerous and respectable, and in such'ca-
JOSI 11 seems fa'r !nat eack Party should be

Mi '
Saturday, July isw

trusting that a reciprocal spirit will be ma
nifested by the other party.

mously nominate I1ENUY 1. TOOLE
Eq., as a proper candidate in the Com
mons. Mr. Toole returned thanks for the no
mination, but respectfully declined ac

meeting. His address was interrupted by
the return o.r the committee, who reported
a resolution to adhere to the original no
mination, and to make no other. Mr. Toole
stated brielly his reasons for having declin
ed the nomination. He, however, in con
sequence of the flattering manner in which

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
Nashville, Muy 27, 1S40.
Dear Sir: The National Democratic Con
vention lately held at Baltimore, after
nominating with perfect unanimity the
present Chief Magistrate, for re-election
to the station which he has filled with so
much honor to himself and advantage to
the country, having declined making a
nomination for the Vice Presidency, it be
comes proper, in my judgment, that I
should distinctly declare the position which
I occupy before the country, in reference
to the use which has been made of my name
in connection with that office.
Having been unexpectedly placed in
nomination by a portion of my Republican
fellow-citizens, in some of the States, it
was my unalterable determination, oft
en expressed to my friends, from the
day that my name first appeared in con
nection with the Vice Presidency, to be
governed by the wishes of the majority
of the political party, to which I have been
ardently attached during my whole life,
whenever the preference of that majority
should be ascertained in any satisfactory
mode; and in no possible contingency to
yield my own consent to the use of my
name as a candidate by a minority of my
own political friends. j
If, as was at one time anticipated, a full
convention of the Democratic party repre
senting all the States, had assembled and
made a nomination that would have been
conclusive, none would have been more
cheerful to abide by the nomination thus
made, or to give to the nominee (had the
choice fallen upon another; a more cordial
& hearty support, than myself. It appears,
however, that several of the States were
unrepresented in the Convention, and the
selection of the Democratic candidate for
the Vice Presidency was left open for the
separate action ol the Republican party of
the several States.
I entirely concur with the convention, in
the hone exnressed bv that bodv. that
"before the flection shall take place," the
"opinions" of the Republican party "shall
become so concentrated, as to secure the
choice of a Vice President by the electoral
colleges."
In times like these, when powerful
combinations of various sectional interests,
are r H. . ;-'in extraordinary concert with
our old ' .ppor. .is, the federalists, and
their allies the Abolitionists, against the
cherished principles of our Republican in
stitutions, personal & sectional preferences,
between men of the same political princi
ples, are of no importance. Ihe ancient
enemies of our long cherished principles,
with their new recruits and reinforcements.
are to be met. The pillars, upon which per
manently rest our national independence,
and our beautiful fabric of separate State
sovereignties, are to be defended. And a
these considerations are, in my judgment,
infinitely more important to the country
than the elevation of any individual citizen
to this, or any other office, I trust I may
be permitted to express my sincere desire,
should the"-further use of my name, in
roLxrijfo 7.
connection with the Vice Presidency, be '
found to interjiose the slightest obstacle
to the entire and cordial union of the De
mocratic party, that it may be prompt
ly wilhdraion by my friends from before
the public. I can have no desire to be a
party to a contest in which I may be thrown
into apparent collision with political friends
whom I esteem, and with whom I have
acted for a long series of years, & especial
ly if such a position sh.ill have a tendency
to weaken the sympathies and energies of
the whole Republican pn ty, and hazard
the safety and continued ascendancy of
their cardinal principles.
The present slrugglc is a fierce one, and
it becomes the duty of every Republican
to defend his post mmfully. If, in my
public career, I have heretofore evinced
any becoming ardor and zeal in the m;in
tcnance of our principles, that ardor is
unabated, that zeal is undiminished; and
altho' my position may be that of an indi
vidual citizen in the ranks of my party, I
shall be found faithfully acting with my
political friends, and, upon all suitable and
proper occasions, resolutely exercising my
rights as a freeman, in maintaining the
Republican principles of our fathers, and
carrying them successfully through the
"ordeal of the popular suffrage."
I am, with high regard,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES K. POLK.

In your paper of the 2-id instant, just
received, I find that the Whigs have been
representing Gen. Jackson as having de
serted Mr. Van Buren and declared in fa
vor of Gen. Harrison. In order to correct
somewhat similar misrepresentations,
circulated to some extent in Botetourt,
previous to our late election, 1 wrote to
the old Hero, requesting his permission to
contradict them, and 1 hereto annex a copy
of his reply for publication; which I think,
is quite conclusive, as to his opinion of Mr. .
Van Buren and the leading policy of his
administration. In haste,

"Hermitage, March 10 th, 1840.
"My Dear Sir: Your letter of the 2Gth
ult. has been received and is now before
me. I am not astonished to learn from it,
that the Rivcs Conservatives' should de
ny the authenticity of my letter, written in
answer to one received from Moses Daw
son, Esq., and published by him in the
latter part of the year, 1837, or the first of
the year 1838, approving the financial po
licy of President Van Buren, as set forth
in his message to the extra session of Con
gress in September, 1S37, of separating the
Government from all Banks.
It appears that the Rives Conservatives,
the Abolitionists and Federalists, have
combined to obtain the reins of Govern
ment in their own hands, by a continued
system of deceiving the people by false
hood and slander of the basest kind, forget
ting that the American people are an en
lightened and virtuous people, capable of
self government, who may by the false
hoods oi designing demagogues and poli
ticians, be led astray for a moment;
but the second thought always h.s dis
pelled, and ever will dispel from their .
minds the gross deceptions that have
been attempted to be practised upon
them by these political demagogues, who
think the people are incapable of self-government,
and, to save the people from
themselves, wish to rule vain thoughts!
which have heretofore disappointed the
opposition, and I trust ever will, and must,
so long as thevirtue of the people soars
above the corruptinginfluencc of the money
I ower, which has, for a long time, been
corrupting the morals of the world. But
truth is mighty, and will prevail; and the
virtueof the people will perpetuate our glo
rious Union and happy Republican system
against all the corrupting influence of the
combined money power and modern paper
credit syslem, and will support the Ad
ministration in separating the Government
from all Banks, and restoring the Federal
Government to the express limits of the
Constitution and Independence, as contem
plated by the sages who framed it.
You are authorized to say, to all my
Republican friends, that I am the, author "
of the letter addressed to Moses Dawson,
Esq., in reply to one from him in the
latter part of the ) car 1S37, or the first
part of the year 1S38, and published by
Mr. Dawson in his p iper, approving of Mr.
Van Buren's recommendation of a divorce
of the Government from all banks or bank
ing corporations.
You are at liberty to use this letter as
your prudence nay dictate, and 1 am, with
great respect. .
