That disease of the finger or toe winch ia commonly called "a run a round" may be easily cured by a remedy to ainiple that pertons who hsve not tried it are generally incredulous as to its effica cy.

We are wauo friends of Calhoun, and desire toiee him electcl. above all other, to the Presidential CI. air: but at the same time we are disposed to give the Whig fair play in their course. If they are to win the day, there is no ue in grumbling about the mat ter) they areas right inthrirown estimation a we are; and we bave no doubt but that Clay will make a verr excellent President in hit own way. Calhoun or Clay will be the next President, and we may therefore calculate on the iatue at tnnrh it we pleaie, and sum up the result. But st for Van Buren, he will find himself not only tried,, bet "considerably eondemnedf and to use 1 Cotton buyer's phrase, he wlil har dly rome in as ordinary. f I Mr. Calhoun's friends become alarm ed and lose their,equilibrium, a defeat will be the consequence. They should tttnd firm and not give way in the least except on fairand equitable grn'jnds; for we tee no danger yet. In fact, Mr. Calhoun't protpedi are brightening up every day, and before next May there will be a great change in his favor. Hamburg Journal. SUGAR" SALT, IRO"N, tc. A writer in the Raleigh Star takes s pro per view of the everlasting din of the Loco foco papers, about the hardship of the tax which the poor man pays on ihe salt, sugar, iron, Le. that he mes. Salt ia taxed 6 cents a bushel. The poor man may require perhaps 3 bushels a year, and his lax will be 24 cents. He my require 10 lbs. ofiton, duty lib cents. 50 lbs. of sugar, duty $1 29. Now the rich roan, with his hundred negroes, may require 100 bushels of salt, 500 Iba. of iron, and 500 lbs. of sugar. Now, suppose, these articles were admitted free of duty, as these demagogues pretend to de sire, who would be benefitted? The poor man would save 91 61 1, whilal the rich man would aave (26 25. (Both of them would, however, be obliged to contribute in some way to the support of the government nnder whose protect! n they equally live if not by duties, then by direct taxes ) But there is a stronger view yet, of tho comparative exemption from taxation enjoyed by itiepw m, under the Tariff tystem in preference to direct taxation. There is no necessary of life used by the poor, which the rich are not likewise compelled to have. But there are innumerable articles of luxury on which the rich pay a tax, whilst the poor do not, The burden of the support of gov ernment thus mainly falls, as it should do, on the rich, and only on any so far as they choose to consume taxed articles. Fay. Obs. EDITORIAL COURTESY. The editorial Convention which met in Raleigh a few years ago, made some regula tion for the purpose of promoting a proper decree of courtesy among the fraternity , and of raiaing the character of the press ia .th ia atatc, which would have a very salutary ef fect in promoting these objects if duly con formed to. Among those editors who com posed the Convention, we have noticed but few violations of the rules; hut some who have entered into the profession since that time have grosly violated them, .and the unsavory fruit may be teen on every hand. We sllude more particularlv to Una indul gence of the habit of using the names of ed itors and of descending to personal vitupera tion and abuse, . This can hive no good ef fect, and must lessen the character and influ ence of those journals that engnge in it It is a viarcfure in which but. lew of iheir rea ders lake an interest, and even should they become interested by their partiality for the parties concerned, it begets a feeling which can only serve to embitter our political con tests. Since then, there is nothing to be gained by this, course, either to the edi tors themselves or the principles they esr pouse, we should suppose that a proper re gard for their profession, as well as for the feelings of the sober portion of their fellow -citizen, would induce these offenders to dis continue a practice so disreputable in its con sequences. We hold it to be the duly of eveiy editor to treat his brother editors at gentlemen, and to leoognise them as such in all his editorial notices. It is a responsible, an honorable profession, and none but gen tlemen should be engaged in it. But if any member should so far forget the rules of gen tility and his own self raspect, as to enter upon personal abuse or low scurrility, it is triAjaaaan v ttvt Atkaro tlnY1 toajtJarwf Ia trial l "vvp.'bi 1 tet n. 1 si t7if naa uv vim v uiv ! ,i' l. , i.:.t ------ . a. -Mineries! with this, we wmild te.ke' oe- CMIon w eg press onr cWprobatioti of the ; pracIjce iomB ei,il0f, (no, nftra, we ,d. 1 mit.i orun ratrein? private individuals before the puw e and ahusing t iem without stint.

Hills . nee. HENRY CLAY ON THE CULTURE. OF SILK. The following letter has just been rc ceivea irom Mr. Ulny by Dr. Unteon n. Smith, of this city, on the subject of intro ducing the culture of silk into this coun try. We are sore it will be read whir interest by every well wisher of his coun try. It may be proper to premise, that the letter was elicited by tho address of Dr. Smith before the Notional Silk Con vention of the American Institute, in New York, on the 13th of October last, (pub lished in the Baltimore Patriot of the 18th October, and refers more particularly to the following paragraph pflhe address: Halt. Tat. 'It has been said, if we take nothing from other countries, other countries will toko nothing from us. In reply to this, I would remark that other countries will, at all e vents, take nothing from us that they can do without that they can make or pro duce themselves. They, at least, always have acted Upon this)priiiciple it is natural they should do so, and it is high time that we do the same. It is a good maxim for any people, individually, to buy only that which they cannot themselves prpducc.' Ashland, Nov. 6, 1813. Dear Sir: I received your favor, and the copy of yoor nd dress em the culture of silk, for which accept my thanks. It con tains many valuable suggestions. I hare long entertained the opinion that the cul ture and manufacture of silk may be ben eficially incorporated nmong the objects of our national industry. They require only patience, perseverance, and careful atten tion to minute details. There is no iust cause for the apprehension, entertained by some, that we may so multiply the proceeds of our domestic Industry as to leave no subjects of exchange in foreign commerce. Our difficulty is, not that there will be too little, but too much foreign commerce. In any conceivable state of civiliaed soci ety, there will always be. in the infinite variety of the productions of different soils and climates, and varied human industry, and in the tastes, caprices and wonts of man, ample scope for foreign commerce. Of this truth, there are many obvious ex amples in the European nations . , I am, with great respect. Your obedient servant, H. CLAY. Dr. Gideon B. Smith. 1 WHAT NOAH SXYS A NEW PROPOSITION. Noah, in his last Sunday Times and Messenger, philosophizes on the result of the late Election in New York. After the history of the riso of the Native Amer ican Party, and speculating on its future influence, he makes the following propo sition which we commend to the friends of the Nullifier: , 1 "What now remains to be done to heal these divisions in the ranks? Let us look coolly and rationally at the subject. "The first step is to induce the friends of Mr. Calhoun in the south and else where, to make every reasonsable sacri fice to keep the democratic party united. If Mr. Webster can euppert Mr. Clay's nomination, where is tie. difficulty in Mr. Calhoun's mpporting Mr. Van Buren's! If Mr. Calhoun could concentrate as much democratic support . throughout the Union, for the Presidency, as Mr. Van Buren can, we should urge upon Mr. Van Buren the expediency and propriety of giving way to Mr. Calhoun but it from local causes snd from cardinal measures, Mr. Calhoun should not be able to con centrate the entire force of the democratic party upon himself, does it not follow that Mr. Clay will be elected? ' And let us add. from the present "signs;" , from the great question of, repudiation from the increasing tariff interests from the recent demonstrations , against the institutions of thd : south from the enthusiasm in be half of Mr. Clay from a lingering attach ment of many old democrats towards him, from his admitted talents, and he power' fu J means at home and abroad which will be btought to his aid in ihe great struggle next year the Democratic party in n divi ded condition, dare not venture to lake the field,' with any hope of success, against him, and us and. it will be a tight race a- Siinst Clar even , with Calhoun and Van uren on tie tame ticket. , , .. ,Wa are bound to speak the truth in this matter, and to speak tt in time, j We know what the result will be. .Cass, Johnson and Buchanan, can neither make up a case in time for thia canvass. Comrmmiies can not secure the entire vote of the democrat ic party., We shall, have new editions of native American parlies. v'J'h destiny of tho democracy throughout this country remain, therefore, , in the bauds of those who aro; friendJy to Mr. Van Buren and Mr, C&lhoun,.'
