To .Mothers and JYurses. npHC passage of I he Teeth through the J gums produces troublesome and dan ! gerous symptoms. It is known by moih- ers that there is great irritation in the I mouth and uins during this process. The ; iims swell, the secretion of saliva is in j creased, the child is seized with frequent and sudden fits of crying, watching, start iiig in the sleep, and sp isms of peculiar I parts, the child shrieks with extreme vio ; lence, and thrusts its fingers into its mouth. 1 If these precursory symptoms are not spee- di'v alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uui ; versallv supervene, and soon cause the 1 dissolution id the infant. If mothers who j have their little babes afllicled with these digressing symptoms, would apply Or I William Kvans's Celebrated Soothinir I Syrup, which has preserved hundreds f i infants when thought past recovery, from being suddenly attacked with that fatal f malady, convulsions. This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past I recovery, 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 j age of four months, though there is no ap pearance of teeth, one bottle of the : Syrup should be used on the gums, In 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 iuunediaiely givesease by open ing the pores and healing the inm; there by preventing Convulsions, Fevers.

January, IS40. y jsmy I'OIl THE TARBOKO PRESS. POLITICAL MONOMANIA. In one of the public journals, there late ly appeared a well written essay, in re gard to the unfortunate nnd most disgrace ful propensity and practice of lying; which for some tim put lias m inifestiv governed the organs, o;ators and active agents of the Federal party. This might he looked upon as mere electioneering romance, was it not mat'er of history as shown by the news piper journals, that lha whole process of U4i mhv mi us political party warfare, is a continued tissue of falsehood, fraud, and abue; and that upon examination not oue of their charges against the administration ofthe Ieit importmce would be found true. The writer attributes this (charitably) to that peculiar affction which is called monomania. A species of mental and mor al derangement by which, in this instance its unfortunate subjects are rendered in capable of telling the truth even if the would an unfortunate obliquity of menial ;md moral vision, by which they are in capable of discriminating between the deformities of lying, .slander, and knavery? and the beauties of truth, sincori'y, and honesty. Such - singular propensities, he says, have occasionally appeared in indi viduals, by which their uuhippy subjects were compelled whenever the opportunity o (feted to lie. or steal, or be guilty of any vice. But that it has not heretofore been known to affel a whole cLss, or any large portion of a class. I'his is certainly a charitable view ofthe case, and might be considered the more just but for their course and conduct shown in the political party history of the day exhibited in the newspapers; which has been seen by all who were in the habit of reading these journals, and is not therefore to be considered the mere empty asser tion of any individual. This history shows, that there is too much method in their madness for it to be without design. A strict examination and collection of all their lies, slander?, ' frauds, and corruptions, would show a congregated mass of unprin cpled baseness and inutility, perhaps never surpassed or equalled in any age or country. It i not intended to do injustice in the smallest degree lo any one b) calling public attention to the outrages perpetrated by the opposition managers. These nuileishave become history, the remarks by which pub ic attention is called lo them arc not intended to apply, nor will they apply, to the innocent: but alone lo tin; sniii.v. :.n,l ' m - O J ""v" no ot in is will Ict l aggrieved or com plain. Let the public call lo mind their unceasing charges against Van liuien and Ine Adiniui-tiatiun, without substantiating one solitary cae of the smallest impoi lance. Themselves and party being iu the mean time guilty of many of ihe acts char ged lo iheir opponent., and falsely charge tiiem with acis not committed, or pti ver ting others proper in themselves. Witness the charge of exce.-sive expendi ture upon the President, as if he could pas appropriation laws. In this case they arc shown by public documents and the journals ol Congress to be quite as deep in the guilt, if guilt there he, as their oppo nents in Congress, where alone the fault lies. The Legislative department raises, and orders by appropriation laws, the application ol the money; which laws the Cxecutive is ordered by the constitution to see faiihfully executed. Recollect the charge of a s'anding army, when not a man or dollar can be raised or applied to military purposes but by Congress; not by the President, unless the laws or der it. He is the commander in chLf of the armv and navy, both of 'which must he raised or provided by law of Con gress, before he can order or direct them. In this case all the President did, was in pursuance of his constitutional duty to call the attention the consideration of Con gress to the subject of the militia, having in view the unsettled state of our affairs with England, &c. Look at the unjusti fiable perversion of the case of Lieut Ilooe, when upon examination not the most fastidious would find fault, justly. Recollect the old charge of proscription, while a majority of offices were known to he filled by their own puty men. Of attempting to create a government bank in the act constituting a public treasury, while the well informed ol all parties know, that, a government United States Bank was their favorite measure their allin all. The charge against the Editors of the Globe, ofthe offer of a bribe to obtain the printing by indirection, while the fact had been perpetrated, and attempted to be repeated by those making the charge and their friends. Charges against the higher! executive orncers 01 plundering the tras-, an i sound morality existed in the form ol ury, while by improper legislation the' mystic intercession and promises of hea were heaping the public money on their; venly happiness bv those who had no favorites in the shape of jobs fer printing' a parcel of useless trash. Recollect all the bank robberies committed by their offi -ers, believed to be wholly confined to their ovn partizm, clerks, cashiers, &.c. run ning off with hundreds of thousands, or cutting their throats, uoon detec'ion. Who are the principal defaulters? Their party members the greatest of which was attempted to be charged to th. Administration; while the actu d perp Irator was considered an unlucky felluw, charged with pecuniary irresponsibilit) only. Who has forgotten the varbu charges against Amos Kendall and othets of malconduct in the post offices, while the improprieties and illegal conduct turned out to be with their opponents and accusers in breaches ofthe franking law, &c. for which they were subject to punishment. Could there be any thing more bae than in making Van Buren responsible for the purchase of a parcel of old trumperv of furniture purchased for the President's, house during Monroe's and other Adminis tra'ions? Tryincto make the public believe that he could take what money he pleased from the treasury to spend in such thing, when they knew the contrary ; or if they knew no better, were in either case on worthy of credit, or of their places Whit ought to be thought of those in 'ev York, who charged to Van Huren langu ge uttered in the Convention by a member of their own party, (Van Ness?, Such, however, the debates in that con vention show to be the fact. One uniform long stmding falsehood of that party for effect, is the cry of ruin, ruin, corruption, misgovernment. Is the country ruined, or has it been? Is ihvie any other oh the earth as prosperous as this has been, during all this cry and clangor? Have not the conuption and frauos as far as shown, been on their own side? Ought not the plunder of the station ary of Congress and franking their politi cal pamphlets filled with' many of their known fabrications and slanders, (such as have been shown,) as public documents, lo be punished? Are not all these, mat ters now of public notoriety?. No intelli gent man of even their own party, if honest will deny them. Have not their cheating and frauds in elections been proven be yond all doubt? It is high time then for the people lo withdraw their confidence from them, and to guaid more closely in future their rights. Is it not evident, that unless they stand by the ballot box, and compel justice, that they are no longer to have whom they elect to serve them? Do the people ask or know to what party the perpetrators of these degradings acts, and many others not enumerated here, belong? They are the fr iends and mem bers of the notorious bank paper money credit system, the confidence system, whose operations depend upon credulity a machinery for robbing the producers of value, by privileges unjust and unequal tending to the accumulation of the wealth of the country in the hands of a few. What have always been the conse quences in all times and all countries? The exit ernes of wealth and luxury iu the few poverty and ahjectness in the many the destruction of human liberty. Pow er and wealth in some degree may be considered the same, at least they natural ly seek to produce each other. Power when once obtained seeks wealth, and wealth power; neither can be contented without the other to prevent improper accumulations of either or both, theie must be no advantages given by law to one set of men over the rest for the pro curement of either. Let there be no deception, no mysteries, no exclusive privileges, no craft, by which one portion of society is to deceive, cheat and rule others. All mystery in the political, civ il and leligious systems of a people is an enemy to human liberty, and will be used to cheat mankind out of their rights and their property, by these means man has always been cheated by his fellow man, under pretence of his eternal or temporal welfare; but in reality, to promote the interest of a few exclusives. In ages past, the grand imposture in con nexion with civil government was a hierarchical aristocracy, a priesthood al lowed to tax and deceive the people un der a pretence that they knew more of the will of God than others, and had mystic commissions to apply or use it. Acting upon the credulity of men, they under took to give or promise what they did no: possess, a place in heaven in exchange for what? for the actual means of living well here taken from others under pretence of iheir favor with God, and their influence in heaven. This was one part of the j great credit system in those days. It is like asking and getting gold and silver! for irredeemable piper promises, which j those making them haye not the power to! fulfil. For centuries this abuse of real religion power to give it in exchange for wealth, e.-sa, and luxury, wrung from others bv acting '''Upon their ciedulity. This pai l of the credit system, though still in exis tence, is much less than in firmer ajics. more particularly in ihe United States, Hut its -quivaient both in deception and wrong exists in the more modern branch of ihe credit system ofpaper money bank ing alike promising what it cannotor v 1 1 1 n ;t perlorm. In all aes the ingenuity of the unprin cipled has found the . means through the hon st credulity of man to trample upon his politic!- and civil liberty. In this country the struggle is now going on be tween ihe many and the few, on the one s:de to abuse and on the other to defend human liberty and social well being Which shall prevail? Will the people aid in their own luiu? Will they believe a set -! as viio impostors as any unprincipled privileged order that in former and in less med as ever ju&rled the people oui of their rights, civil, religious, or political, as well as lijeir property, while they re velled in wealth and sensuality, gotten b imposition and trickery, or direct oppres sion, from those whose labor produced thoir wtalt.i? The effects of these differ- em urancnes oi me crcuu system are tne same. Would the people of this countr giee now lo be taxd one tenth of theii produce to pamper a lazy, idle, hierar chical or oiher privileged aristociacy ? Not they. , Will ihey then permit them selves to be cheated into an actual, though indirect t..x much greater to support a pa per money, coiporaiion, privileged oriiei, aIio, beside all ihe wealth are determined light or wrong to assume all e vil ano political povver; who are determined, To get wealth and place if tliej are ahle with grace, Urn if in. t, bv uny means to hare wealth and placet Peaceably, if they can forcibly, if they mut by cheating at the ballot box or with broad seals, or if they fail thai way, by war and revolution. Whut do they threaten? In this probably more than they will attempt, if the freemen of this coun try will respect their own rights. Another portion ofthe credit system of former times was, the divine right of kings and rulers. The credulity of the people was taxed to believe, that the right of gov erning was delegated direct from God to some individual as weak and iis mortal as anyone els ; insiead of the more correct democratic doctrine, that the people should choose their agents instead of receiving mastcis. People of America ! How are you imposed on now, by requiring you to believe the foul faheliood thai bits ol print ed paper spoiled, for any other use, are bet ter than gold and silver, from which, from the empty promises to give which, alone they draw even their adventitious value; as every man who can help himself to a single change ol ideas must know; to be lieve that the promise is better than the thing itself. You are required to believe, that a set of men who have been convicted of every species of lyii :g, and fraud, and slander, to ruin as honest a set of public servants as any people ever had, are the only persons proper to trust with our af fairs. They are taxing your credulity lo make you believe, that lite long tried men with known principles who you have found s.ound to the cure, are guilty of the crimes they themselves have pcipetrated. This is also a pa'rt of the ciedit system. You must have faith iu falsehood and wick edness, in ignorance and impudence, lor which they are so notorious, and deny yourselves the evidc-nce of your senses and understanding. Will your credulity go ihi? Will jou credit them? We slull see. These men claim all the wealth, all lhe talents, and all the decency. Thry seem certainly by Iheir frauds and plunder ing to have strong desire lor all the wealth, and in their method of procuring it their tal ents are not denied; lor a talent for dishon esty, swindling, and falsehood, they are ut terly unrivalled. And if these faculties are the only evidence of decency, then in deed have they all the decency. There is yet another part of their credulity system, in which you are modestly asked lo haves ''generous confidence; i' is their beautiful all-Mded candidate, an abolitionist there, anti-abolition here; tariff here, anti-ianff there; a member of an abolition society, never a member of an abolition society; member of only a humane society, the con stitution of which as recently published, makes it explicitly an abolition society. They ask you to have generous confidence in this Jack of all sides, or of no sid , or of anv side, as the case may require, as shown bv his own language in letters and speeches, while he has not the confidence in you to say what he is, nut you musi uie him upon trust. They require you to con sider him a Jeffersonian Republican, when he has been proven by his own cotempo- raries and intimate acquaintances, to have been a black cockads John Adams federal 'ist; and still is known to be l.i favor of their favorite measures. Verily, verily, if you believe all this, your faith must be much greater thin a grain of mustard seed Supposing their conduct in the la-t war forgot ien I hey ask the people to believe that they are good Jeffersonian democrats, ofthe old republi cn faiih, and that the republicans are th old fedeialists of the Hartford Convention stamp. This fraud, however, has been ex posed by Green & Halhtt, of Boston, which exposition may be seen in the 13th number of the Extra Globe; and shows who, and by name what the old Hartford Convention federalists were then, and still believed to be, traitors to their Country. This exposition ouht to be re id by all honest men of all parties, h is not to bo supposed but there are m.-my in the oppo sition who wish well to tl.eir country, let such examine well their position, let them read the exposition and n fleet upoa he general course of their party; if so they will no longer be of them. The ex position f Mes.rs Green & Hallett, shows the treasonable pu-poses of that party, in an attempted projuct to separate the East ern States from the Union, to connect themselves with the 13i itisli Under the form of a limited monarchy with an English prince for their king, or ruler. It ought to be the business of tvery man in lhe uiou to read and examine this subject tho roughly, and then compare it with the pi e sent purposes of that party which are still to subject us to British power through he credit and stock, paper money system, and ultimately politically. YVhat elsa would eventually be the result of saddling us with a national debt at once f three hundred millions, principally owned by iiritish fund holders in England and their agents in tlii country? This yoke onca upon our necks, it would be peimanently increasing until its weight would crush us as the four thousand million of dollars of the British debt does the people of that country. The stock of that debt is proper ty in the hands of the fundholders, yield ing a rent or interest that the working peo ple have to pay, and so would it be heie. How would the people like here, in addi tion to their own expenses and lhe expen ses ot their Mate aud General Government. lo pay 12 or 15 millions a year to a set of British fundholders in England, and a few of their humble servants in the United States? Yet to make you do this, people ofthe United Slates, has been but two evi dently shown to be their purpose, not to be seen by all intelligent men. There is nothing but voting them down can prevent this. Let that parly gain the ascendant at the coming elections, and no thing short of a miracle can preserve our republuan institutions from ruin. Inde pendent of the insatiable maw of the mo nied power it ought to be known to every Ameiican that there is and always has been a large portion of the federal party, feeling a decided preference for British interest and the British government, to those of their own country. This was proven in the last war, and is shown up again in the exposition to which I have just drawn your attention. This would seem difficult to believe, was it not matter of recorded his tory, w ithin the grasp of any one wishing to obtain the information. It is now no toriously shown, that men (who if they succeed in elect ing Harrison expect to havo lhe sway in the government,) many of whom, are recorded as traitors then, and believed lo be actually the same now. People of old honest North Carolinal People of the United States of America! Are you so soon tired of being free? Are you so in love with your own ruin? Will you be slaves? This you must, you will be, if you do not avoid this gulf of perdi tion which yawns to swallow you!! Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askalon, that the good old upright, de mocratic republican State of North Caroli-" na, has so fallen in love with Hartford Convention, black cockade federalism, as to throw herself into the arms of such men as Webster, Saltonstall, & Co. Men who the record shows to have been against yol in the last war, men who you know to belong to that party and that interest, to whom it was not long since suggested by the British fundholders of your Slate debts, and other stocks, to procure the assump tion of State debts, which project as may oe seen by some of the journals of this country friendly to this project was to com mence with a stock debt of three hundred millions. This merely to begin with, winch by the same means thai lhe State and other stock debts have been increased, would soon be doubled or quadi upled. At gain: Let it be known that ihis stock, like die public debt of England, would be a profitable properly in the hands of iis hol ders, untaxed, Ihe interost of which would be paid entiiely by the producers of value in the country! What have the States ia return for this debt? what would lie peo ple have in exchange for three hundred millions of debt, costing 12 or 15 millions of dollars annually lo pay interest? They would get s parcel of rail roads, canals, and J
