The Subscriber, a practical Boot-maker of some ex

Irsidrrntum to be yet supplied to the public in the way
of a suitable burnish for boots and shoes. Most of the
irticles now used either injure the leather or fail to
impart that lustre so necessary to give to man's "un
derstanding ;' a proper finish. He has therefore, dur
ing the last twelve months, loen devoting himself to
Mie task of preparing an article free from these objec
tions, and has at length after much investigation and
experiment completely succeeded. The result is " Gill-s
ie phis ultra BurnisJi.'- He only wishes that it
may be tested in order to establish its superiority
over all others. Call on him at his shop opposite Mr
Lauder's Marble Factory, Hay street, and be supplied
with an excellent article at a cheap rate.

of life, environed with difficulties, yet surmount
ing those difficulties with an iron will, that ulti
mately elevated him to a position that command
ed the profound respect and admiration of bis
cotemporaries. His career in Cougress is too
generally known for us to do more than give it
a passing glance; and such was the estimation
in which he was held by General Jackson that
notwithstanding the violence of the nullification
controversy, the old Presideut uniformly ex
pressed the most auction ate regard for Mc
Duffie, saying repeatedly 'that if there was an
honest man alive, that man was George Mc
Dnffie.' He was undoubtedly one of the most
intellectual men of the age; his mind was emi
nently logical, and you shall try in vain to find
a flaw in his argumcuts. One might have differ
ed with him in the principles he expressed, bnt to
grant his premises was to concede the argument.
His contests with Webster leave no doubt as to
the splendor of his intellect ; his report on the
United States Bank, was the ablest argument
ever made on that side of the questiou ; and his
speeches on internal improvements, the tariff,
the removal of the deposites, and on the expe
diency of amending the constitution, are all
masterly, and seem to exhaust those subjects.
When he rose to speak, there was always a
deathlike silence in the House you might have
heard a pin drop. His burning enthusiasm, the
sparkling of his splendid grey eye, the emphat
ic enuueiation that accompanied every word,
held you captive, and step by step he hurried
you along with him, from point to point, until
3Tou were subdued by the fascinating fervor of
his transcendent genius. Nor was he delicieut
in sarcasm; -his speeches in reply to the attacks
of that miserable compound of vulgarity and
impudence, rristram Burgess, abound in wit
and humor. His comparing General Jackson
to Jupiter Tonans, in which Jupiter is represen
ted as seizing the arms of all the Gods, wield
ing the powers of the Pantheon, and giving 'the
stamp of Fate,' was oue of the happiest illustra
tions of executive spoliation that has ever been
His seat in the convention was to the left of
the president, and in the vicinity of Major
Hamilton, the revolutionary veteran. ion
could have recognized McDuffie at a glance.
He was of the medium height, aud dressed in a
claret colored coat that was much too large for
him; but his intellectual face attracted you at
ouce, especially when his splendid eye was fired
by the excitement of discussion. His hair was
black, and cut with mathematical precision,
straight from temple to temple, and smoothed
down so as to display the shape of his head,
which was large and admirably formed. But !
alas! there is a hectic flush upon his pale cheek;
yon perceive that he is daily dying from the
immedicable wound he received in his youth.
His hands are trembling violently. He is up !
but his voice is clear and calm, his enunciation
distinct, and his manner emphatic. Uttering a
bold proposition, he pauses, and his eagle eye
glances round the assembly. All is hushed.
You might hear your heart beat. But now he
dashes into the argument, and you see &u intel
lectual warrior before you, brandishing the ar
mor of thruth, and wielding the hand of justice
for liberty and the rights of man. He speaks
like one inspired his thoughts, words, and ac
tions, are sublime and when he pauses, as if to
make a mighter effort, you feel like one entranc
ed, and craze with wonder at the man whose
magic mind and eloquence have bound you cap
tive to his triumphal ear
McDuffie rose rapidly from obscurity to emi
nence, dividing the future, in the opinion of
many, with Mr Calhoun, who was the first to
recojrnize and to foster the fortunes of the or
phan bov. lie stepped at once to the head of
the bar and until his election to Congress, he
had no competitor in South Carolina as a law
yer. His practice was very lucrative, and per
haps no lawvcr ever acquired so large a fortune
in so short a time. In his marriage, too he
was fortunate, leading to the" altar oue of the
wealthiest bcanties of the land a daughter of
Colonel Richard Singleton.
In his manners, McDuffie had tire simplicity
of a child. We shall relate an instance which
is characteristic of the man. 'Your Mr Mc
Duffie is a very singular person!' said a young
lady to ns on one occasion. 'How so?' 'Why,
I was at the Springs, a few mouths since,
and learning that the great Mr McDuffie was
in the house, I went into the corridor to catch a
glimpse of him, when who should approach me

McDuffie, and handed the chair to Major Huger,

used considerable action, indeed it was rather
dangerous to have a seat in his vicinity; and
more than once we saw General Hayne dodge to
avoid a blow from the sweeping arm of the
orator. In the course of his argument, he would
occasionally relate an anecdote that served to
amuse, and relieve the audience, aud which
afforded him a good opportunity to take a fresh
start in the argument he was elaborating.

Important Proclanation.
The subjoined important proclamation, issued
by the President of the United States, will be
read with interest. It relates to a subject
which has attracted a large share of public at
tention, and will be received with general op
probation. It shows that the President is de
termined to interpose to maiutain the integrity
of the laws against violation; and to this end,
he calls upon all good citizens to discountenance
the proceedings alluded to, requiring all public
officers to exert their authority to arrest and
bring to trial all offenders. This step was
called for by the intelligence received by the
President, and will be properly appreciated.

A Proclamation.
Whereas information has been received by mc
that an unlawful expedition has been fitted out
in the State of California with a view to invade
Mexico a nation maintaining friendly relations
with the United States and that other expedi
tions are organizing within the United States for
the same unlawful purpose; and whereas certain .
fill of their obligations
and
duties, and of the
rights of a friendly power, have participated,'
and are abont to participate, in these enter
prises, so derogatory to our national character,
and so threatening to our tranquility, and are
thereby incurring the severe penalties imposed
by law against such offenders :
ow, therefore, I, franklin Tierce, President
of the United States, have issued this mv pro
clamation, warning all persons who shall con
nect themselves with any such enterprise or ex
pedition that the penalties of the law denounced
igainst such criminal conduct will be rigidly
enforced; and I exhort all good citizens, as they
regard our national character, as they respect
our laws or the law of nations, as they value
the blessings of peace and the welfare of their
country, to discountenance, and by all lawful
means prevent, such criminal enterprises; and I
call upon all officers of this government, civil
and military, to use any efforts which may be
in their power to arrest for trial and punish
ment every such offender.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
United States, at Washington, this
ciirtitccnth dav of Januarv. in the
u s. year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and htty-tour, and the seventy-eighth
of the independence of the

The Caloric Ship. Capt. Ericsson, in a
note to the editors of the New York Express,
says :
"The new engines arc completed, and have
been at work for several days, their operation
proving conclusively that the practical difficul
ties which attended the first arrangement have
all been overcome. The new engines are much
reduced in size, whilst their principle of action
is the same as before, with this exception only,
that condensed atmospheric air is employed in
place of the ordinary atmospheric, for producing
the motive power. "This modification admits of
an increase of power, limited only by the capa
bility of retaining the presssre in the machine.
Some difficulty has been experienced in this
respect, and it is this which has caused some
delay recently. The obstacle is, however, near
ly removed, and the public will shortly have an
opportunity of judging by practical evidence of
the merits of the caloric ship."
We venture to assert, that in no town in
North Carolina, is there more enterprise and
public spirit exhibited, than in Fayetteville, and
none for which the State has done as little.
Her citizens are active aud enterprising, aud
what they lack in means, they make up in in
dustry and perseverance. They have more plank
roads than perhaps can be found leading from
any town m the Tsonth, and these are built
mainly by individual subscription, and we hazard
little in saying, that but for the arrogant
boastings of Colby & Smith, they soon would
have had a rail road to the coal fields.
We wish the new enterprise, the establish
ment of a female school, the greatest success.

A most revolting tragedy occurred at Sonth
ington, Conn., on the 19th inst. A Mr Finch,
while probably laboring under mental aberra
tion, proceeded to the room of his daughter, an
idiot, abont 20 years of age, and cut her throat
with a razor while she lay asleep, after which
he performed the . same horrible opera tion on
himself. Both died almost immediately.
