Bankrupt Laws.
la the course of the debate 10 the Senate on the
Baukrupt law, the fact wav mentioned, that any
- State may pas a Bankrupt law of its own. There
ia however this difltreuco bsiweeo a bankrupt law
passed by a State, and one passed by Congress :
the State law must be prospective, and could
therefore only extend to Wart emtraett lo debts
contracted after ipa pasosgs of the law ; win e Con
green, many contend, can roaVe a luw having apple

voce ; the State law could eded only the citizens
of the particular Siaje, and such foreign cred-

itors aa mav receive a dividend 01 tbe bankrupt s
estate. A Bankrupt under a Slate law going into an
other State, his creditors of that State call proceed
against hyn, as against any other debtor, although
ho may have taken the benefit of his plate's law,
and have received a discharge, r
- IVm. 1. iaronr, Esq. Thie gentlemen has
II at once become a prodigious favorite with the
Whig newspapers of tha State. Tbey bave here
tofore abused him without measure or decency
through all tlie epithets of their peculiar vocabula
ry as one of tbe veriest lovelier e, luco-foco's and
demsgogue'a alive, but latterly their types are
act to a new tune, and he M sow printed a moat
dignified patriot, for too high minded and elevated
.to meddle with any such low matters as funeral
expenses. ' '
Now, what ia all thia alulT for t a re 'these Whig
worthies gulling one another lo keep their hands
in at the old game ; or are they fools enough lo
flatter themselveMhat by honied commendaliiMia,
and sweet plastermgs of Mr. Usyvood they can fool
him ; or do they indulge the hope that anything
they aay can raise tire suspicions of the Demo
crnlie party against that gentleman f Tbey will
hardly find either the Democratic party or Mr.
Haywood 11 eoft enongh " for their operations. If I
we are not more niistukeh in Mr. Haywood's char-
acter than wa at all apprehend, ha is too deeply
. . grounded in the principUi ot the Republican par
' ty to be caaght with chiiO or scared with a shroud.
It iff exceedingly frobabty it it not that Mr.

now desert bit principle and bit friend, and goto
join a trpjceo doVn aod Uka party, when the

Literary dissociations.
Wo invite tbe attcqtion of the cilixeos of Salis
bury to the proceedings of ihe " Hillsborough Lit
erary Association," which wa extract below from
tbe Reeordtr.
Wa bave noticed the formation of aimilar socie
ties ia various parte of the country North and
South, but wa believe thia ia tbe first one of the
kind established io this Stato. Wa hope it may
nut be the losi When properly otgauized and
well conducted these associations are productive
of much good iu a community. ' Tha practice is,
at stated periods, semi monthly or monthly, for one
of the member (r any man whom tbey may ap
point) to deliver a lecture on some subject of prac
tical uecfulneea, or scientific interest. Great bene
fit ia derived from tbia practice. Firs', a taste for
litersturels fostered, and a spirit of mental im
provement excited not only io the members of the
association, but amongst all who attend the lecture.
Sucoiidly, such associations bsvs a direct tendency
to cultivate the virtues, and nnurlsh frolina of au
cial intercourse. In country towns these virtuea
are seldom found to exist in a very flourishing state.
It Dot unfrcqucutly hapfiens thai ditif-rences of
opinion in religion and in politics go for lo inter
?rupt, if not destroy social intercourse in places
like Hillsborough and 8alibury j but associations
of tbia kind having reference neither to religious
nor political disputation, bring ihe member of so
ciety together on common groud without danger
of a conflict of opinions, or at ka.t such conflict as
can be productive of unkind teelings.
' At the North these associations are common to
all towns, and there are muny in the nmie South
am States. It is not uncommon for ihe mtckanie$
to form such societies, and fryjuenlly to invite able
and distinguished mea of their own, or other ph
cea to lecture. Wa recollect noticing that Mr.
Woodbury only a few weeks ago addressed a
11 Mechanic's Association" in Wanliington, of me.
where else.
Much more might be said in favor of these So
cieties, and nothing perbapa against tliem, but we
have no idea of exploring the subject at present,
having already ' bmgthened beyond our intention
tbe few remarks which wa proposed to throw out
only by way of attracting the attention of our cit
iznato the u! ject, with lite hope that some of
thorn will make a move in the matter, and follow
the laudable example which Hillsborough husjuit
set us: ,

. .The remarkable Symptoms of Hydrophobia are
well described by tha Louisville Journal, in tha
distressing case ofyoung Mr. Moore.
At tha end of five weeks theso terrible symp
toms here described appeared .
Tbe countenance presented a haggard, distress
ed expression, much heightened by the accession of
spasms, wtucb were very frequent. The eye was
bright and lustrous, the lace exceedingly swollen,
the tongue perfectly dry end cracked, and the pulse
irregular ana aoout one nuiKlred and twenty-tight
to the minute. Tbe mind though resile is and dis
tressed, waa clear ard perfectly intelligent ; aud the
piwienl spoke with apparent ease, except when on
tbe verge of a spasm. His words were IVequnully
cut oil by tha speani ; and, while that waa upon him,,
the sounds emitted by tha victim reminded na of
tha Violet panting of ia"6xcpssively wearied dog '

such waa the Jmrmraweapreeet-d at 1111 least-
opening ol a door, or Ihe movement of a person to
wards him, appeared to distress bim more evert
than bia attempts to swallow liquids. The inabil
ity to bear light waa also great. Tbe high in- -crease
of nervous energy in the hydrophobiac pa-1
tient baa, we are told by medical men, been noted
as the usual attendant of tbe disease, from Ihe days
oi iiemocritus, ine contemporary of Hippocrates,
down In tbe present rime.
Mangendie, the dittiiiguiihed French Physiolo
gist, mentions the case of' a deaf and dumb patient
ol his who was able lo hear during tha paroxysms.

doubt but that the waving of ihe wing of a butter-
