TH E passage of lite Teeth through the
gums produces troublesome and dan
gerous symptoms. It is known by modi
ers that there is great irritation in the
mouth and gums during this process. Tin
gums swell, the secretion of saliva is in
creased, the child is seized with fretpien:
and sudden fits of t rying, watching, t-n
ing in the sleep, and spasms ( pecuhai
parts, the child shrieks w iih extreme vio
lence, and thrusts its fingeis into its mouth.
If these precursory s. mploms are not spee
dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni
versally supervene, and soon cause the

is lo relieve inlatit misery and torture, AJ
infant, while teething, espei ieutn d surd
acute sufferings, that it was attat k-d u id

posed that death would soon release the
babe from anguish till we procured a bot

plied to the gums a wondertul change wa
produced, and after a levy applications the
child displayed obvious relief, ami by eon
tinning in its use. I am glad to inform
you, the child has completely recovered,
and no recurrence of that awful complaint
has since occurred; the teeth are emana
ting daily ami the child enjoys perfect
health. ! giveyou my cheerful permission
to make this acknow ledgmenl public, and
will gladly give any information on ibis
circumstance.
When children begin to be in pain with
their teeth, shooting in their gums, put a
little of the Syrup in a tea-spoon, and
with the finger let the child's gums be
rubbed for two or three minutes, three
times a day. It must not be put to the
breast immediately, for the milk would
take the syrup off too soon. When the
teeth are just coming through their gums,
mothers should immediately apply the sy
rup; it will prevent the children having u
fever, and undergoing that painful opera
tion of lancing the gums, which alw ays
makes the tooth much harder to cotne
through, and sometimes causes death.

I do not rise to as!; a correction of the

which purports to give a sketch of the

been groMV misrepresented, and he only
wished to say 3 few words in reply to thos
gentlemen, Mesrs. Johnson of Maryland

it hard if he were uoL granted lb s privi

Mr. BYNUM. said he rose to reply .to
the remarks of the gentleman from
Maryland, Mr. Jenifer, although he was
sorry that he could nol boa- dislineil v what
that genlleman hid said, lie undeis'od
him, however, to complain of something
that had been published in the Globe in
relation to what he (Mr. 15.) had said some
days since. He bail not been able to
understand what censure that gentleman
had passed on him, if iiny. He would state,
though, for his satisfaction and all oihers,
lhat the Globe contained what he had ut
tered on tbe floor at the time alluded to
by that gentleman, lo the best of his
recollection The language was hi, and
for il he held himself responsible in that
House or out of it. The only explanation
that be felt a disposition to make to the
House was this:
On the occasion alluded to, he had been
attacked by tiiree or four gentlemen by
the gentleman himself Mr. Jenifer and
his colleague Mr. Johnson a gentleman
from New York, Mr. Hoffman, and a
member from North Carolina. He.
however was not disposed to notice what,
as he then thought, was the most illiberal
manner, in which, by the want of courtesy,
he was prevented from a reply, in vindica
tion of himself and the remarks he had used
on that occasion, to the attacks of those
gentlemen, in which he thought he had

the rem irks, he did not know whether that
gon'Iem i!i Mr. Jenifer was in UU seat or
not. The gentleman thought fit, however,
to open the attack upon him, anil was then
followed up by his colleague end others;
although the gentleman had said he. had
lam down a ptrttcular rule, for himselt to
pursue, since the memorable 7th of Juno, jlia corneal last, and we find the statement
1836, and that course was to have nothing j 0f ihe whig worth just an much as all
to do with me, and, to avoid me in debate, their facts there is no truth in them

vvith whom my relations were. of a peculiar jcated to the Glube:
nature. I take it lor granted tint it is dis
honorable, after two gentlemen have had a
difference, that has been confessedly set
tled honorably to both parties, and stand
upon peculiar terms, to embrace any pub
lic occasion to renew their difficult ie, by
band ing personal epithets. Sir, that h iN
not been my course heiior elsewhere, as I
do not conceive that that belongs to
an ho torablu man and a gentleman. The
w rd bu'y, that I iied, if it be that
the gentleman complains of, I used to
de ote one that would play the political
bamnion of ibis

i'requently witnessed in it for several year

not belong it.
Mr. STANLY bete rose, and put an
interrogatory to Mr. Bynum, to which he
wr-hed a rep'y; but was not distinct!)'
jtjhcirtl by tin Kepoiter
inr auv civ:I O'lestson t ut to inm in a run

Mr. S i'ANLY was understood to ask

! which wa on- wiio was in ihe habit of
i Ihtttst'ng himscii on every occasion in de
b ije, an I endeavoring to browbeat and
bully oihers out of their opinions; and if
that was not satisfac'ory, the member
mi'dit act as he chose in relation to it, as
he h ad no further explanation to make.
Mr. S TANLY was then understood to
1 proceed as druigh unsatisfied.
The SPEAKEIl here interposed to put
a s'op to the discussion, which he said was
of such a nature as could not be permitted
to go on; and that the gentleman from
Maryland Mr. Jenifer had merely risen,
as he unders'ood him, to make some cor
rection of a matter which personally inter
ested .him.
Mr. STANLY was again understood
lo sav that reference had been made to
him by his colleague, Mr. Bynum, in
his reply to the gentleman from Maryland,
which he conceived needed some .noiire
He said it wis usual with him to cultivate
with gentlemen the most friendly relations
and paiticularly so with persons from
the Shit" which he in part represented
lhat he felt his heirt warmed to meet any
such; but on bis arrival here he had cau
tioned his friends and collogues not to in
troduee him to his colleague, Mr. Bynum,
for if they did he wo dd hold them person
ally responsible. He made some further
remarks nol heard sufficiently distinct to be
understood.
Mr. BYNUM said that this place was
nol the proper one to settle thesrj private
matters. If the member would but go to
the Rotunda, he would satisfy him. To
which Mr. S. made no reply, but saitl
something as he sat down, about Mr. B.
begging his life which was not understood.
Mr. B. then rose and said, "When and
where, puppyy puppy, puppy?" and the
matter here closed.

Correspondence of the Philadelphia Spi
rit of the Times.
Washington, Jan. 4, IS-iO.
The public cu-eer cf the Hon. Jesse
A. Bynum, cf N. C, who his been made
to figure so conspicuously in the proceed
ings of the House for the past few days,
has been too prominent to escape Ihe
notice of a common observer; and as I
have at all times found it necessary to my
profession to watch his conduct minutely,
1 believe that 1 fully understand the man.
His book is daily opened by himself, and
those who do not or cannot read it need
not compdn that they had no metns of be
coming acquainted with his character.
Mr. Bynum commenced his po'itical
career amid the highest state of political
excitement. He entered Congress a warm,
ihough violent partisan if you phase the
advocate and the feariess defender of the
Administration of Gen. Jackson. All who
recollect with what ardor and abr.se the
prtv then, as now, in the opposition as
sailed ihe Administration, may very viv
idly perceive how easy it was for. a man of
an ardent temperament to get into collision
with the unprincipled faction then strug
gling to destroy the last hope of freedom
the last bulwark of human liberty.
. Mr. Bynum had not been in h'i3seat many
months or indeed weeks, before he was
most maliciously and vilely assailed by
members of the House, and by some of the
leading Opposition presses, who did not
know or understand the character of the
man. They soon found, however, he was
not to be assailed or traduced with im
punity. . J hose who were ot a contrary
opinion, however, soon had an opportunity
t -,r co.ua in.i f -1 ;.-,., n f,,.- a,.
iiSDo.utton. which has cammed
of personally correcting the error into
widt h they had incautiously run.
From the year 1834 up to this date, for
reasons for which I cannot account, a clique
lias been organized and kept up, the object
of which appears to have been to make a
concentrated war upon Mr. Bynum; to do
things in a body, which no single man
would deem it proper or safe to do in his
individual capacity.
Mr Bynum hasr borne, hut with a very
i'.l-grace the repeated tt:tcks that havo
been made on Lin-;: and iti more instances
than one, they induced him to invite his
assailants to single combat. The public. is
well acquainted with the history of thoso
instances, and the less that ia said about
them the butter will it be for the cause of
public morals. They were all i:i direct
opposition to the Li as of the land, lo real
charity, nnd ought t" he forgotten.
In 'debate, if he be severe in
deitiinciation of the schemes of party, and
lie
ruirdy is so, he is always personally
eo.irteous towards Ins onnonents. and avoids
jthe uUerance of any thing that cmi offend the
feelings of high-minded and courteously
disposed gentlemen.
Within the Inst" two years, it appears lo
have been the policy of the opposition to
destroy Mr. Bynum, by the adoption of a
policy which, is as disreputable as it is un-
msniy. itr. nynum is assailed wnn mo
most v;0jGnt lcuroach and direct abuse:
j ity Yor vou cannot be recognised by mo as
a o.nt!eman.
To bring this le tter to a close, I should say
in all sincerity, that the scene nrcsentcd to
j Uopgresi ye?terd?.y, was eminently dis-
graceiu: to that pony; ana mat it cnen
repealed, Congress will soon become a by
word and a. reproach to the nation.
