To Mothers and Nurses. - TTMIE passage of the Teeth through the : gmr.s produces troublesome and dan gerous symptoms, it is known by 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 and stidilcu fits of crying, watchings, start ing in the sleep, and spasms of peculiar parts, the child shrieks with exireme vio lence, and thrusts its fingers into its mouth. If these precursory symptoms are not spee dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni versally supervene, and soon cause the dissolution of the infant. If mothers who have their little babes afflicted with these distressing symptoms, would apply I)r William Evans's Celebrated Soothing Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of infants when thought past recovery, lrom : being suddenly attacked with that fatal malady, convulsions. . This infallible remedy lias preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past 'recovery, lrom convulsions. Assoonasi the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. This preparation is so in nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that no cmiu win reiuse to lei us gums oe instruction; oi- tHul tlisc wlio passed them rubbed with it. When infants are at the intended to recognise in them that cardinal age of four months, though there is no ap-1 principle in the Republican Creed. This pearance of teeth, one bottle of the ; conclusion was forced on me, not mere Syrup should be used on the gums, to . Iy from the absence of any assertion of the open the pores. Parents should never be principle of instruction, in the Resolutions without the Syrup in the nursery w here themselves, but by the distinct rejection, there are young children: for if a child ky the majority who passed them, of an wakes in the night with pain in the gums, ! the Syrup inimediaiely givesease by open- itigthe pores and healing the gums- there-! by preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c.

Soothing Svrup, m a case ol protracted and painful dentition, must convince every feeling parent how essential an early p - plication of such an invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and torture. My infant, while teething, experienced such acute sufferings, that it was atlackvd with convulsions, and my wife and family sup posed that death would soon release the babe from anguish till we procured a bot tle of your Syrup; which as soon as ap plied to the gums a wonderful change was produced, and after a few applications thej'l1ure of a Stale, he is responsible to 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 th;?l awful complaint lias 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 gladlv give any information on this circumstance. I When children begin to be in pain with their teeth, shooting in their gums, put p little of the Syrup in a tea-spoon, and with the finger let the child's gums be rubbed for two or three minutes, three limes a day. It must not be put to the breast immediately, for the milk would take the syrup oil too soon. When the teeth are just coming through their gums, mothers should immediately apply the sy rup; it will prevent the children having fever, and undergoing that painful opera tion of lancing the gums, which aluavs makes the tooth much harder to come through, and sometimes causes death, v s Ilc;varc of Coimivviviix.

The Ruyner Resolutions will now be fairly before the people, and their adoption by the last Legislature of North Carolina, which was the consummation of the most vindictive party spirit and the vilest hypocrisy, will be judged of by them. Washington City, 301 h June, IS 10. To the Honorable the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, which is to assemble on the third Monday of November next: Gentlemen: In pursuance of the deter mination announced by me, when I sub mitted to the Senate of the United States certain resolutions passed by tbc Legis lature of the State of North Carolina at its last session, in relation to certain-measures of the General Government, I tender to you my resignation for the residue of the term for which I was elected to the Senate of the United States; to take e fleet from and after the meeting of the next General Assembly. The reasons which influenced me in com ing to this determination, were so fully made known by me in.tho remarks which I made at the time when the resolu tions were presented to the Senate of the United States, that I will not again recapit ulate them, more than by briefly adverting to a few of the leading considerations which induced me to postpone tendering my resignation until the present period. I did not believe,'after giving to the Res olutions the most mature deliberation, that thev were to be regarded as Resolutions of amendment offered in both Houses of ,ne General Assembly, proposing !o make tlie!n Resolutions of Instruction. The as - ' S,Ttl0n ol thlS P"'P in " Absolutions : l,,cn,scI v?s ,las h'cn ,; '"rsal practice "n ;?' ho acknowh dge th e right o instruction; not onlv in our own Legis- , , , ., , . r . . , k'ture, but in the Legislatures of other States , f tho Conredcracv, -hcncvcr thev han, (leemM, h ,h(.ir t t(j resot tQ lcj.se of this reat ria;ht. This practice is ; founded on the obvious nrincinle.th it who,. I I 7 ' the Legislature,!)' resolutions of instruction, command their will to be done, touch ing public measures, all further responsi bility is removed from the Senator, and the vote which he gives is the vote of the Le gislature. Acting, therefore, upon the principle mat wnen a senator is elected by flic Lens peopie oi mat state, until Die legislature representing them chooses, by Resolutions of Instruction, to take from him that re sponsibility, and perceiving as well from the language of the resolutions themselves, as from the proceedings which took place on them when under consideration, that such was not the intention of gthe Le gislature, I did consider that I was bound either to obey or resign. In deliberating on the course which it was my duty to pursue, I anxiously somrht to adopt that which, in mv iudement. was best calculated to preserve the rights of uie peopio oi me .Tuaie. It the Kcsolu tions had asserted the Right of Instruction, 'hen there would have been no option, but prompt obedience of resignation. This however not being the case, either would have been alike violative of the rights of the People of the State, with which I had been entrusted, and subversive of the Right of Instruction. In thus tendering my resignation, I feel it my duty to state that it is not prompted by a belief that the Resolutions passed by the late General Assembly imposed on me any such obligation, but from an anxious desire to submit my public course to the decision of the people of the State which would have been done at an earlier period, if an election had sooner inter vened. i avail myself of this occasion to declare explicitly, my belief in the right of the legislature 6f a State to instruct their iSenutors, and of the corresponding duty Tarlorough, ( Edgecombe County, JV. C.J ! it imposes on them to yield obedience or to return the political power which has been entrusted to them to those from whom they derived it. I cannot conclude this communication without expressing to the General Assem bly, and through them to the people of the State my most sincere and grateful ac knowledgments, for the distinguished honors which they have at different times conferred on'me, and the lively gratitude; with which these manifestations of public confidence will be ever cherished by me. It would be presumptuous in me to claim exemption from error, in acting on the ma ny important questions which have been before Congress, since I have occupied a seat in the Senate of the United States. 1 have, however, the consolation to know that whatever errors I may have commit ted, my motives have been disinterested, and that my public course h is been dictated by an anxious desire to promote the happi ness of our common country, ami perpetu ate its free institutions. I have the boner to be, With great respect, Your obedient servant, BEDFORD BROWN. To the General Jlssemhly of the Slate of North Carotin a : I hereby resign the trust with which the Legislature of the State of North Carolina was pleased to honor me as one of her Representatives in the Semite of the United States; which resignation I desire to take effect at the commencement of your next session. . No unwillingness to serve my country ; no underestimate of the high and undeserved honor I enjoy in representing a State whose character is unsullied and whose people ate unsurpassed for moral purity; no insensi bility to the heavy debt of gratitude that rests upon me for the many marks of con-" fidence nnd the unmerited favors I have received; not even the conviction i feel of my own inadequacy to the responsi ble and weighty duties of the station 1 fill induces me to resign it. On the con trary, the proudest retrospect I shall ever have is, that the representatives of one of the noblest States of the American Union, tho't me worthy to represent her in the most au gust body under the Sun; and the most cheering consciousness I shall ever experi ence, will be that of having discharged the duties of the station with a fidelity meas ured only by my ability. My political principles have never been disguised and they were well known not only to those who elected me but every other citizen of the State with whose ac quaintance I was honored. No one can say that I have given a vote in the Senate of the United States, which could not have , been foretold by every man at all convcrs- ant with public affairs. Those votes have, 1 firmly believe, been just ?uch as the peo ple of N. Carolina, or their representatives by whom I was elected, would have in structed me to give. Vet, since my elec tion, a general election for members of the Legislature has taken place and made some change in thecomplexion ofthathody, whether or not fairly representing the sen timents of a majority of the people, is a ques tion which tbc people themselves must de cide. At their last session, majorities of both branches of that body, were pleased to ad opt resolutions expressive of the opinion that my course was not in conformity to the wishes of the people. From that opin ion mine respectfully differed. Had that body assumed its proper responsibility and instructed me, how to act, I should have either obeyed those instructions literally or forthwith resigned. The mere expres sion of opinion, left all the responsibility upon my shoulders, only increasing there by its weight and delicacy. I was not ig norant that there was a design in some to use these resolutions as a snare in which I was to be caught and my political death ac complished. Nay, many of them believed there was no way forme to escape. If I treated the resolutions as instructions and resigned, (for the terms of the resolutions rendered obedience impossible,) and there by insure my place being filled by an op poncnt of the administration, I should bring upon myself condemnation as a trai tor to those who had trusted me, or as a cowardly deserter of my post in the hour of trial. If on the other hand I neither reigned nor obeyed, 1 should be denounced as one who disregarded the will of my con-: stituents and set at nought their right to in struct me. I saw the dilemma in which 1 should be placed, and resolved to escape from it by throwing back the responsibil ity where it properly belonged. I was well convinced that I could not with propriety treat the resolutions as instruc tions, and so respectfully informed the Legislature, requesting at the same time, that if 1 was wrong, 1 might be set right. My conclusion if wrong, was not corrected, and I might have contented my self in mv position until its termexpired. But 1 knew the public mind was much stirred concerning the doctrine of instruc Saturday, July 25, 1S40. ji-,njr tions, ail d tint ungenerous persons would uuiwiinsianuing me pains 1 had taken to s t myself right, impute to me the design of. holdinguuder consitutional formsaplace for which according to its spirit and substance I was unfit. It bad been said by high author ity, that I was supporting an administration to which my constituents were opposed. I am among the last men to question the rep rcscntativc character of our government, or to deny to the people the right of setting up and pulling down at pleasure, and would sooner perish than avail myself ot a position in which their generous confi dence had placed me to thwart their wishes. Relieving that the legislative elections bad not taken place in reference to any such re sult, and that tbc appointment of my suc cessor could not be made in conformity to the expressed wishes of the people, my immediate resignation would not have se cured obedience to their will. But, I de termined and accordingly promised to re sign in time for the people to avail them selves of t lie first occasion of indicating their choice of a Senatorial representative. That pledge is now redeemed. I return to private life, with a bosom glowing with the same zed for my country, and the same confidence that the people will do right, as when 1 accepted at their b inds a trust, conferring more honor than a dia dem. That every citizen of the Slate may be apprised of my resignation and the motive that leads to it, I shall take the liberty of furnishing a copy of this letter for publi cation. 1 am with great respect, Vour obedient servant, ROBERT STRANGE.

That this Convention will now proceed to vote for a candidate for Vice President, to be run on the Democratic Republican ticket in North Carolina.
