JOS. L. SIMMONS. 29 tf CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY. HALIFAX, N. C. 1 Mr. Freeman: Although the following ha9ty remarks may not, in every respect, accord with your own views; yet, as they are not intended to give offence to any individual or party it is hoped you! will insert them in your useful paper. FoRruE Roanoke Advocate.! -1r. KditQriln individuals and in Na tious, bow often is verified the saying, that "the prosperity of fools is their un doing." It is said somewhere in the sa cred volume, allading tdtbe Jews, "Jes hurun waxed fat and kicked." 1 am no politician; no party man. I am a -plain old man, a Sexagenarian,- and like old Hardcastle, fond ot old times, old customs and 'the good old patriotism of revolu tionary days. That patriotism which consisted in making every thing subser vient to the best interests of our Coun try; not that noisy and infuriated j patriot ism, which, at the present day, is display ed, in factious and intlamatory declama tion, at Conventions, pubhek dinners, caucuses arid musters, if "the spirits of just men made perfect" can weep; must not the Whades ot out immortal :VV ash ington and his brave associates with those who so nobly pledged and devoted their lives and fortunes" to the freedom of their.Country, drop tears ot agony and humiliation, at the degeneracy of those, who publickly advocate a separation of the Union? in our trappy-Cour.tfyi ex alted to the Heavens, inrespect of civil and .religious -privileges; abounding in all the comforts and .most of the luxuries of life; embracing within its . extensive boundaries the productions of every zone and climate; enriched and Variega ted by every species "of beautiful, : pictu resque and sublrme scenery: the lakes and mountains of Scotland and, Switzer land; the enchanting towns and villages of f ranee and England; rivers compared with which, the ciassick Tiber of ancient and modern Rome, the boasted (Thames of England, the Forth of Scotland and the Rhone arid Rhine of France and Ger many, are mere purlmg rills; remote from the cabals and intrigues of the corrupt Nations of the Old World; iu enjoyment ot the ireest ana nest government on Earth, where every individual, tht son of a Nabob or a Cobbler, may be eligible to any office, from the door-keeper of Con gress to the Presidential chair; Vvfjete tal ents and industry, united with moral worth, are sure ' of success; in fine, 'a Country enjoying all the advantages, and free from most of the oppression and wretchedness "of other lands of which it may truly be said, "p fortunatos niuii num. sua si bona norint;" in this highly! favoured and envied land, in the lan guage of the Psalmist, "the Voice of complaining and discontent arei heard in our streets." 'Meshurim has waxea fat and kicked." Having no teal evils to complain of we are ingeniously contriv ing imagtnary ones. The Tariff is the apple ot discord to banish peace tfan tpnlity and happiness "from j our; land.. Has it, indeed Air. Editor, come to this? Is there not wisdom enough in the! coun cils of our Nation, and virtue j and for bearance enough in its citizens, to pre vent so awful a catastrophe, as a separa tion of the Union; and the natural result, a civil war! l am, as before' remarked; - no politician; the Tariff, 1 do not under stand. However unequally it ;may ope rate, it ir surely a1 measure, adopted by ourselves; by our own agents; men of our own choice; sanctioned by both houses of the Legislature aud approved by "the Greatest -and Best.' If so unequal, so op pressive, S3 ruinous, why did net he put his veto upon it, as on other laws; cer tainly, less obnoxious! Do not the same men, who would rather sacrifice the Un ion than submit to this law, advocate tbe re-election ofjhim, who approved it, and thus made it a law of the: land? The whole enormity of this immense evil is, hy many, charged to the Yankee pedlars; the cuckco-clock, wooden-nutmeg, -tin manufacturers of the North. Could, Mr. Editor, I ask for information, could this swapping, guessing, shingle-splitting, mo-lasses-daubing handful, of men control tbe destinies of the whole Nation?. To make the Tariff a latv, there must have beeh a majority of the representation oi' the 24 sovereign Stales, with the sanc tion of the President. That we should 'submit ourselves to the powers that be,' is a precept of, the Gospel; and when these powers are voluntarily created by ourselves, it seems to me, a dictate ot common sense. Unless the minority peaceably submit to the decisions of tbe muioritv we have no government. If (fits law can be nullified; then surely, all others' can. In fine, suffer me to ask, and 1 do it in the simplicity of my heart, 1 1 am do party man, my feelings are all enlisted in the prosperity of tbe'fcJoutb) suffer me to ask Southern men, whether any piti ful consideration of dollars, cents and mills can be an equivalent for bringing down ruin on the .tairest Republic, the freest most enlightened and happiest SEPTEMBER 37f 1833 Country on Earth? Esto perpetua" said the great and good Franklin, "is my prayer for my country." In the good sense,: intelligence, moral and religious character of the American people, next to the blessing of Divine Providerrce, I look for better things. SENEX. . We have pleasure in publishing Ihe following letter from Dr. Calvin Jones to the Rev. Dr. M'Pheeters, one of the officers of 'the Temperenoe Soci ety established in Raleigh: j flake Forest August 17, 1832. Dear Sir I have lately, with some of my iriends and neighbors, signed a pledge of Temperance, and I fee! great pleasure that I have, and I make the statement to you, as I'owe the act to your conversations, those of our excellent t friend William Peck, and to a Tract that I found the other day at Mr. Stedman's shop, entitled "Important tacts cm the subject ot Temperance." I have gener ally been a temperate man, always the ad vocate of temperance, but have'believed, until now, that I could better serve the cause by remaining without tbe limits bf any association formed to pfdmote it. I now think differently. In anion there is strength; and instead' of being fettered by the pledge, as! had apprehended, 1 "find my liberty increased, and my power to. produce etlect enlarged. Another thing, ' I have lately seen in a new and strong light, that it is the abstemious and exemplary men that should unite in the pledge, rather than the drunkards, for they ; are the Very stuff that drunkards are made of the raw material of which they aTe manufactured. The example of a temperate drinker ts..! moreover, hot ohfrequently. an excuse for such sober drinking as lead. gradually to excess; and even'sober, limited drinking is bad en ough of itself This is repeating, your own opinions and arguments and those of the "pamphlet. "Persevere. Every day we see fruits, and another age will wit ness the consumation of success. Then experience will have established princi ples jthat habit wHI have confirmed. I understand that Dr. James Webb, of Hillsborough,, republished tbe Tract I have mentioned his own expense. 1 hfive long known tbe Doctor's worth and talenrs, Tind highly appreciated his public sprrit, but tnis act gives bim new claims upou the public esteem, & will en title him to the gratitude of those who may live after us. 1 am, dear sir, much and very respect fully your Very obedient. CALVIN JONES. Rev. Dr. M'Pheeters, Raleigh. A Heavenly Picture. -ft Is re freshing indeed, to find in the col umns of the Charleston Mercury, a midst the din of nullification and the harsh discord of party politics, the beautiful sketch which ts subjoined. "There is now living in Sr. Peter's Parish a widow lady, whose locks are sil vered by age, but. whose placid counte nance almost tempts the stranger to con tradict the universal application of the sentiment "man is born to trouble." That lady: is Mrs. Sarah Lawton. " The 6th day of last February was the anniversary of her birth, and 77 yeaTS had then rol led j by, leaving upon her recollection only scenes of pleasure to cheer the path way of declining ago. Ihe morn was usbered in by sun beams, reflected from the hoary frost, and the old lady whose pleasurable anticipations bud not allow ed an hour's "slumber to her eye-lids" during the night; came forth in all the dignity of age, and smiled complaisances upon those who were making prepara tions for the feast. . At an early hour the rattling ot gigs and carnages, the neigh ing of horses, the running to and fro of servants, the frolics of the little boys and girls, the civilities 1 of youthful compan ions and the warm gratulations of those of mature years! presented a. scene of in nocent gaiety, which even happy Mulber ry Grove had never before witnessed. This day had been long spoken of, and thej expected dinner was the theme ot every table talk. With their beat ap parel and their happiest smiles, children and grand children aud great grand chil dren entered the habitation, and approa ching the great arm chair received tbe maternal kiss, and the maternal blessing. She wept, and they wept; she smiled, aud they smiled; aud the tear was the tear of love," and the smile, tbe smile of joy. And having gathered them all about ber, she said: "My children, I have long anti cipated this day, with a fond wish te see you all before 1 die, and now 1 feel that it is a little Heaven below;" for already had ber children and grand children been making the house resound with songs of praise to bim from whom all blessings flow, and she continued "the Lord has done wonders for me; be has given me a family eighty four in number; and what demands my highest gratitude, ail my children and grand children who arc grown are professors of religion, and not one has ever disgraced his family, but alt contribute to the happiness of my life. Even those who nave married into my family, are also all religious except one, and religion is the only thing he want. My eldest and my youngest sons arts ministers' of the blessed Gospel, and two of my grand daughters are misisters wives, and till but lately, I had a son-in-' law, who was nlso in some holy calling. My family is healthy aod happy, and they almost all live near me. Oh! when f look at you all my heart is full- of grati Hide to God, to think how I am blessed with children and grand children, affee tionatc and dutiful, to comfort me in my declining years. God bless yon, my deaf1 children." She then directed a littlo stand to be brought to her, and upon it! was placed a large family bible and u hymn book. Her eldest 'son, between 50 and CO years of age, read from the ho ly book, "And thou ' Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy fathers, and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind:" if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him; he will cast thee off forever." And froji this text he delivered, nith as much pa thos a the interest of the occasion called for, an address that seemed to reach ev ery heart, and to make every eye pour forth streams of love. His youthful bro ther closed tbe exercises with a feeling and impressive prayer. Soon after which the dinner was served up, and forty-four sat down to the tirst table, all ex cept one being professors of religion. The old Lady's countenance told hi lan guage more forcibly than my pen can ex press, the joy of her heart, as from tho head of the table she surveyed her chil dren with the fond hope that all thoso would sit down with her at the Sav iour's board to enjoy the new wine in her Father's kingdom. The younger part , of this happy family then took the places their fathers and mothers vajcated and it was indeed calculated to fill tho bosom with undescribable emotion, to seo about forty boys and girls enjoy tbe birth day feast their aged grand mother had prepared for them. Doubtless the prat ers she uttered for their future prosperi- iy emanated irom her heart, as incense perfumed with the blood of the Lamb of God, aod will be answered by her Heav enly Father when she is silent in'thtr grave yard where her departed pious husband already sleeps. The following, passage is extracted from a letter written by a gentleman of high reputation in the medical world. It wastiot designed for publi cation," but believing that its insertion may be productive of benefit, both here and elsewhere, we are induced to give it, general currency. We may add that the writer has observed xho. disease in Glasgow, London, New York and Philadelphia. Bal(. Jlmcr "My opportunities of observation of Cholera have been considerable, and Iho study of the disease has occupied much of my attention. I am persuaded that the disease, in its malignant form, never manifests itself without being preceded by premonitory symptoms, and I am fur ther fully satisfied, that if treated during the existence of the premonitory symp toms no danger is to be feared. It is not my intention to write a trcatiso for you on this disease, and I shall therefore re frain from detailing all the premonitory symptoms. The most remarkable and the one which is never . absent, is Diar rhoea, this is generally attended with a. feeling of lassitude and a sensation of pain and uneasiness in the region of tho stomach. Diarrhoea is, however, the symptom of all others tbo most easily as certained, and having been ascertained, not an hour not a moment should be lost in treating it. . ' . My dear friend, let me impress this fact upon your mind, and if you only bear it in recollection in the management of your own health, and that of your fam ily, I shall insure you against all risk.. So soon as the diarrhoea, comes on, let ontl of tbe powders, prepared according to the following; prescription.be taken imme diately in a little jelly, and six hours af erwards take from six drachms to one ounce of castor oit, this will produce fref evacuations which ought to be examined, aod if the last of them should be at alt unnatural, in six or eight hours after tbo operation of the medicine has ceased, a second powder, should be taken, and as in the former instance, its operation promo ted by a dose of oil. Dunog the employ ment of these remedies the patieuc should remain in bed. or at all events keep his room, and the diet should con sist of the lightest and most digestible; articles of food. If this system ot treat ment be adopted, tbe patient will assur edly be saved from an attack of the cho lera in its most malignAot forrn Tbe Powder alluded to is formed by tho following prescription, which any -pothecary can j prepare: Calomel, 15 grains; Rhubarb, 60 do; Sulphate of Mor phine, 1 do; to be mixed -aod dividfd itd 3 powders.
