3h.fSvS. EniTons: Tho other day a
friend sent mc a few numbers of the Well
ington Globe; in one of them I found the Sen
atorial tkbate on the late election of a Serjeant-at-Arms.
Nothing could exceed my sur
prise on seeing the position of the advoeatesfor
" Retrenchment and Reform." I found them
scoffing at the idea of saving 37o of the peo
ple's money, which could have been saved by
leaving the election of Sergeant-at-Arms till
lime appointed by law. The following is the
law by which this election should have been
regulated:
" Rule 19. The Secretary of the Senate,
the Sergeant-at-Arms and Dooi keeper, and
the Assistant Doorkeeper, shall be chosen on
the second Monday of the first cession of the
21st Congress, and on the same day of the
first session of every succeeding Congress "
With this law staring them hf the lace, did
the whig Senators, headed by lenry Clay,
fleet near the close of the 26th Congress, a
Scrgeant-at-Arrns, for the 27th Congress, and
who will receive $125 per month until the
meeting of Congress, "th. the public service
iocs not require him "till that meeting. Every
Democratic Senator voted agaiusfthis elec
tion, as being not. only peculator, and a dar
ing robbery, but as a palpable' violation of
jaw. L very whig ilejur

that
but
: in great and important sources of expendi
ture, such as an increase of the Tariff", to
enable the Southern farmers to buy foreign
goods cheap, and, consequently, force the
Northern Manufacturer to sell his stuffs at a
low rate; a disti ibution of the .National Do
main to fill the alleged vacuum in the Na
tional Treasury; an assumption by the Gene
ral Government, of the State Debts, to pre
vent the establishing of a National Debt, and to
make capitalists 'support State, in preference
to Federal power, a National Rank to crush
speculation, lessen the taxes, put gold silver
into every man's pocket, and prevent the Na
tional treasure from lowing into commercial
channels. These arc indeed " great and im
portant sources of expenditure " and the le
galizing of them is worthy the advocate of
log-cabin industry.
The aspect of the times has wonderfully
changed since the Presidential election.
Refore that epoch the expenditure of fifty dol
lars to embellish the " I'alace," would have
been a fit subject for a V hig Reformer to des
cant upon, for six hours together. Rut now
the same Reformer can lavish $375 on a
source from whence no equivalent can come,
and tell us that it is too "little a matter" to
engage the attention of the picsent Adminis
tration. O Tcmpora. O Mores!

forms a fart of the salary of the Sergeant-at-Arms?
It is a fourth of that salary. Carry
this principle through all the ramifications of
the Government, and "a little matter of this
sort" would swell to some five or ix millions
per annum.
Would the whig Reformers have been as
lavish of their private treasures, as they were
of the people's'.' Jt is not probable that
either 3lr Clay, or any one of his coadjutors
would engage a servant three months before
his services were wanted, and pay him $125
per month. What then are we to say of them
when they thus use the treasure of the people,
and that loo in defiance of law? Is it not
enough that they fill all the public offices with
their own Jiiends, without giving away the
public money, to satisfy their party rapacity;
and that too at the time tacy complain of an
exhausted treasury?
The Reform .Senators, of the 2(3m Con
gress, who elected a Sergeant-at-Arms for the
27lh Congress, showed, first, a ronlcmpt for
kin, aud secondly, contempt for what, belongs
to the eoj)lc. If they could make that elec
tion, whilst the above Rule was in force, then,
law is a perfect non-entity, and legislation a
farce, got up to attract the attention of the peo
ple, at the lime some sharpers, in the garb of
" layers, aud collectors of taxes, v are rifling
their pockets. It'a private citia-n violates a
contract, does he not foifeit the bond ? His
ignorance of law, however great that ignor
ance may be, is no palliation ; and shall the
makers of' law be allowed to triumph in the
breach of it I It would be well,Mhen legisla
tors transcend their powers to hold them per
sonally accountable.
Tho neoiilo never rave the Reform Sena-
tors the privilege of giving away the public
money; and of violating a contract entered
into w'lh the public printers; and yet they
have done both of these. The only reason
they give for the latter, is, that the printers
are obnoxious to them: that is, the printers
think differently from them on affairs of the
Government. Had they been of the same
politics, there had been no violation of their
contract. And here again Henry Clay is the
most conspicuous actor. This man is always
at hand when a wound has to be inlli-ted on
morality and law: for it is by the corruption
of the former, and the violation of the latter,
that he hopes to rule the American people;
and ne careers nobly for it. The whole pack
of " Reformers" open at his word, and run
dow n every thing assailable. They seem to
think that the paople sent them to Congress
to gratify their private malice, and reward
their friends; and not to strengthen the bonds
of society by enacting wholesome laws, and
observing them when they are enacted.
If every citizen was to take, as his model
the course pursued bv the Reform Senators
towards the public printers what would now
be the condition of this country? Universa
anarchy, plundering, and bloodshed, would
be the order of tho day; and the American
Eagle would perish under the talons of her
own eaglets.
Hut we have no such fears for America.
When the present political excitement has
abated, the people will discriminate between
the real friend, and the pseudo-one. 1 h'ice
have theybeen deceived and twice undeceived.
Time will unveil the third deception as it
has the other two. The people must soon
learn that the whig word Reform does no
mean to change for the better. I hey will
learn to pronounce, and apply it properly. -They

We received the other day, from a subscri
ber, a communication enclosing two dollars
for his subscription, and containing a request
that we discontinue his paper. He also
stated to us that he wished to discontinue,
not from any dissatisfaction with the paper,
(on the contrary, that he was highly pleased
with it) but because the times are hard, and
he must retrench. With the request we
cheerfully comply, although we would rather
not lose so good a subscriber. Rut we can
not help thinking that our friend had com
menced to economize in the wrong place.
He has a family of intelligent children, for
whom he cannot obtain as much valuable
reading in the form of books for twenty dol
lars, as he gets in newspapers for two. He
himself loses the advantage of the weekly
paper, and necessarily falls behind the times,
and every day history of the world. Impor
tant events abroad, and interesting move
ments in the country of which he is a citizen,
will transpire around him, perhaps vitally
affecting his interests, his liberty, or his hap
piness, and he may remain profoundly igno
rant of them, or depend upon accident for
information of them. Of how much real
satisfaction, valuable knowledge and intel
lectual enjoyment does he thus deprive him
self, and his children, while he saves in mo
ney the price of a year's subscription! Well,
Ave are not to complain our loss is
triffinrr; but we cannot avoid the reflection;,
that although the principle of economy is ex
cellent when well and properly directed, it yet
may be the means of incalculable loss, when
misapplied. Hard times are undoubtedly a
sufficient reason for economizing in most
respects, but we do think they should be hard
indeed, and the work of retrenchment applied
to every thing else, before it begins to curtail
the enjoyments and culture of the mind.
I:ecuti-a:i ofa Murderer.
J I is Confession His Kxiro.ordinary Re
suscitation. John White, convicted of the
murder of Messrs. Gwatkin, and Glenn, on
board a flat boat, on the Ohio River, was ex
ecuted at Louisville. Kv.. on the
a little after six o'clock in the morning
Alter hanging about twenty-two minutes,
he was cut down and conveyed awav, to be
experimented upon by Philosophers and An
atomists. The poles of a powerful Galvanic pile,
which had been prepared for the occasion,
were immediately applied to him, and to the
unutterable joy of all present, w ith the most
perfect success. On the first application of
the fluid to his body, which was yet warm aud
trembling, a universal tremor seemed to pass
over his frame, and fancy, if fancy you can,
the surprise, tho astoni?hriient of all, when of
sudden he arose upon his bench to a sitting
posture, and with great eagerness and impa
tience raised his hands to his neck, trying to
grasp the scar in his fingers and tear it from
his throat! He first snatched at it with great
ra?hness,as it the rope was vet aroundhis throat,
and then continued some moments picking at
the seam with his ringers, as though it was
something that adhered to his throat, giving
him great uneasiness. But this symptom was
soon forgotten, for almost' the next moment,
he arose upon his feet, raised his arms level
with his breast, and opening his blood shot
e'es5 gave forth from his mouth a most terrif
ic screech, after which his chest worked as
if in respiration, in a very violent manner.
Every one at this minute was as mute as
death, every breath was for a moment sus
pended, when Dr. D. exclaimed, " by heav
ens, he's alive!" Too great was the excite
ment, too intense and absorbing was the in
terest and wonder, enjoyed and felt by all, to
allow time or attention tor a reply to the re
mark. Every eye was rivetted upon the agi
tated and shaking corpse. The operator con
tinued to let upon it a full quantum of the
galvanic fluid, till the action upon its nerves
becoming so powerful diat it made a tremend
ous bound, leaping by a sort of an imperfect
plunge, into a corner of the room, disengag
ing itself entirely from the wires which com
municated the galvanism.
A piece of broken looking glass was im
mediately held before his nostrils, which 'was
instantly covered with a cloud. "He
breathes! he breathes!" was the .unanimous
shout. All was the most intense anxiety for
some seconds, when the motion of his chest,
as in the act of respiration, became visible.
His pulse," said Dr. D. "does now cer
tainly beat; lo!" he at the same instant ex
claimed, " he opens his eyes!"
And horrible, indeed, were those eyes to
look upon! He rolled them widely in their
sockets, occasionally closing them, and giv
ing most terrific scowls. In about five min
utes His breathing nccame tolerably Irequent
probably he would give one breath where a
healthy man would give four. His breath
ings, however, rapidly increased, in frequen
cy and strength. Dr. D. began to speak to
him, but he gave no indications that he heard
a word. He looked upon the scene around
him, with the most deathly indifference, seem
ingly alive to nothing. A pin was tried upon
his foot. He moved his foot, though not
very suddenly, and resented the act with a
horrible frown, but a frown containing
something of sadness. His action soon be
gan to take on a more energetic character.
He began again to feel of his neck, and work
his body, as though in the severest agony.
Young L., a medical student of Dr. S., ap
proached him, and taking hold of his arm and
shoulder, White rose upon his feet, took two
steps, being thus supported, and seated him
self in an arm chair. On seating himself,
he gave a slight groan, his muscles seemed to
relax, aud he appeared somewhat overcome
with the exertion he had made. A bottle of
hartshorn was immediately applied to his
nose, which revived him much ; but his life
seemed to be that ofa man much intoxicated.
He seemed, upon one occasion, to try to
give utterance to some feeling, but, from an
unknown cause an impediment, probably by
an accumulation in the throat occasioned by
the execution, he was unable to give utter
ance to a word. We are satisfied that he
made an effort of this kind, for immediately
on the exertion, he gave a sorrowful shake of
die head, which signified, if we rightly under
stood the language, that he meant something
he could not express.
His system was critically examined, and
though he was pronounced to bo perfectly
alive, it was announced by Dr. D. that he
could live but a few minutes, for congestion
of the brain, which had not yet happened, was
rapidly taking place. Every method was
adopted to equalize the circulation of the
blood, and save the patient from the terrible
consequence of so sad a catastrophe, but in
vain. The blood-vessels of the head were
enormously distended, and his eyes appeared
to be balls of clotted blood. His system was
immediately thrown into direful spasms, and
he died in a few minutes in the most ex
cruciating agonies.

A Shower of Ashes.- The last number
of Silliam'3 Journal, contains the following
memorandum, handed in by the Rev. Peter
Parker, M. D. who was a passenger in
the ship Niantic, from Canton, for New

5ih, 1840, being in lat. 7 deg. 5 min. north
Ion. 121, deg. 10 min. east, at 2h. A. M.,
sixty miles west from M indano, one of the
Philippine islands, came' up a fine breeze
from the northeast, which was attended with
a shower of dust, resembling that of ashes.
It came so thick, that it obscured the moon
and -stars, which were all out very clear be
fore: it filled the sailors eyes so full that they
were obliged to retreat from the deck below ;
it lasted about one hour, aud cleared away.
At davlieht, the Niantic looked like an old
furnace, completely covered, from the royal
mast head down to the water's edge. The
decks 1 snourd JungtsirCT-auattftr nf an
inch thick with the ashes, we took up one
half bushel, and might have saved three or
four. It fell in small quantities at different
times, for two or three days after. On the
14th of April spoke the English barque Mar
garet, whaler ; reported likewise on the 5th
of April, had a similiar shower of ashes, be
ing at the timo three hundred miles north
northeast of us ; he informed me that on the
12th of April, he visited several villages on
the island of Madura, entirely deserted by the
people, from one of which he had taken two
brass cannon, and several other articles.
This led us lo think that some volcanic rup

An Important Discovery. A citizeu
of this city, who has long been afflicted with
the gravel, has discovered what in his case is
a sovereign remedy for that distressing com
plaint. -
Take the buds of the Balm of Gilead tree,
gathered at the time they are expanding to
form the leaf, one pint, put them in a quart
bottlefill it with old Holland Gin: in a few
days it will be fit for use. Inordinary cases,
one table spoonful three times a day, taken
in a tumbler of water, is sufficient ; in ex
treme cases, increase the dose to the quantity
ofa wine glass full, adding fen drops of laud
anum ; it dissolves ihe gravel, and he believes
will dissolve the stone. His case was an
extreme one, often requiring the aid of the
catheter. With him, no other medicine has
ever produced a dissolution and discharge of
gravel. Jf it operates upon others as upon
him, the discovery is invaluable ; and the
fact of his making it public, justly places him
upon the list of benefactors to the human fa
