I'lTims s yuiptnms. Ii is known by moih
ws thai there is iii e.it ii i italioo in the
month and g.niis ! h i ing this process. The
uins swell, ll:e soc'rctinu of saliva is iti
trtMsed, the i hihl is seized with VtMjuent
and suihlett lits l" rryiit, w alchint;s, start
ing in tl'f sleep, and spasms of pecnliai
parts, the child shrieLs with extreme vio
lence, and thrusts its (infers into its mouth.
If these precursory symptoms are not spee
dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni
versally supervene, and soon cause the
dissolution of the infant. If mothers w ho
have their little balies afllicled with these
distressing symptoms, would apply Dr.
William Kvans's Cchbratetl Soothing'
Svrup, which has preserved hundreds til
infants when thought past recovery, from
heing suddenly attacked with that fatal
malady, convulsions.
This infallible remedy has preserved
hundreds of Children, when thought past
recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child
u ill recover. This preparation is so in
nocent, so efiieacious, ami so pleasant, that
ho child will refuse to let its gums be
rubbed with it. When infants are at the
age of four mouths, though there is no ap
pearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to
open the pores. Parents should never be
without the Syrup in the nursery where
there are young children; for if a child
Wakes in the night w ith pain in the gums,
the Syrnj) itnmediaiely givesease by open
ing the pores and healing the gum; there
by preventing Convulsions, Fevers.
To the Agent of Dr. Kvans' Soothinu
Syntp: Dear Sir The great benefit
aflorded to my suffering infant by our
Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted
and painful dentition, .must convince every
feeling parent how essential an early ap
plication of such an invaluable medicine
is to relieve infant misery and torture. My
infant, while teething, experienced such
acute sufferings, thai it w as attacked w ill,
convulsions, and my wife and family sup
posed lhat death would soon release the
babe from anguish till we procured a bot
tle of your Syrup; "which as soon as ap
plied to the gums a wonderful change was
produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by con
tinuing in its use. I am glad to inform
you, the child has completely recovered,
and no recurrence of that aw ful complaint
has since occurred; the teeth are emana
ting daily and the child enjoys perfect
health. I givcyou my cheerful permission
to make this acknowledgment public, and
will gladly give any inform tiioti o:i this
circumstance.
When children begin to be in pain with
their leeth, shooting in iheir gntns, put a
little; of the Syrup in a tea-spoon, and
with ihe 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
lup; it will prevent the children having a
tWef) and undergoing that painful opera
lion of lancing the gums, which always
makes the tooth much harder to come
through, and sometimes causes death.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT.
Kou! conspiracy to violate the laws to
abuse ofTicial station and privilege
to deceive the people, and at the same
time make them pay far the means by
which they an.' deceived.
We have received information from the
interior of this Slate and New York, es
tablishing the following facts, viz:
1. That soon after the meeting of Con
gress, the Federal whig members formed
themselves into a sort of secret Jacobin Ciub,
for the put pose of making use of their pub
lie stations, privileges, and pay, to control
the political action of ihe people of the Uni
ted Slates.
2. That this club appointed an "Execu
tive Committee," who have taken upon
themselves the power to appoint secret
committees, to aid them in every county
throughout the Union. This committee is
Composed of Messrs. R. (Jarland,of Loui
siana; John Dell, of Tennessee; J. M.
Dolts, of Virginia; Thus. Corwin, of Ohio;
M. H. Orinuell, of New York; Leve
ielt Saltonstall, of Massachusetts; Tru
man Smith, of Connecticut; Chas. Naylor,
of Pennsylvania; and J. C. Clark, of New
York. 3. Tint the Federal whigs in Congress
h ive c ntribuled large sums of money,
and placed it in ihe hands of their secret
EKecutive.Commiltcc, to be used in con
trolling the suilrages of ihe free and inde
pendent voters of ihese United Stales.
4- That this secret committee, by meansl
of their county committee and otherwise,
ire not only printing and circulating larjje
quantities of spcccl-.es and essays, false and
foul in their character, but are, in every
purler, attempting to raise subscribers
for iheMiidisoniau, to give as wine a ilillu--ion
as possible to their libels upon the Ad
ministration and tlia leading Democrats of
the country.
5. Th.i! the .means of paying for the
trash they have printed, is their oflidul
piy as members of Congress, and thai not
m!y sudi pipers, but the Madisoni
ins sent to subscribers, ..are forwarded.!
... i r i i ii
uuuer iranic. in n;i oa j e vio a ion oi
law.
(J. Tint, for the purpose of getting
means from the Treasury to carry on the
operations of this Jacobin Club, keep up
a eoirespjndence with their committees
ibroad, and send out, free of pistige, no:
only their "libellous publication", but the
Madlsnnian to its subscribers, (Congress is
to be kept in session and under pay until
nexi September.
We have not made these nssni lions !
with ut evidence to sustain them.
Tlu evidence alluded to by the Penn
sylva:iia;i, consists of three letler.9; o.u
of which is .-igneil by the above named
"Executive CommiUec," and two by "J.
0. Clark, fur Committee." These let
ters covered prospectuses of the Madisoni
an, and are in the p session of the
I4 litor of the I'ennsylvanian.
Kleasc return prospectus as soon as
convenient, anil the pqer will be forward
ed under franl;," says this lawmaker, who
is thus conspiring with his secret club in
!.- . . , l
E litor ol - the
M;:disoniat), to commit a
most llagraut breach of the laws in frank
ing a newspaper to its subscribers.
The same fact, together with the inlen
lion to keep Congress in session until
September next, is proved by a printed
ciicular of the same John C. Clark, dated
Waslwngton, January, IS-10," and
addressed "to the Whigs anil Conserva
tives of Chenango' county, New York.
In this paper, which is too long for inser
tion entire, Mr. Claik says:
Thc Madisonian is such a journal, and
it is earnestly commended to ihe confidence
and support of every opponent of the
Administration, be he Whig or Conserva
tive." Thc great advantage of an. energetic
journal at this central point, from which,
under the franks of members of Congress,
for the ensuing seven months, every nook
and corner of ihe Union can be pervaded,
is too obvious to require remark."
Here the monstrous scheme is fully deve
loped ! -'Seven ensuing months" after Janu
ary will extend to the first of September; &
for what purpose is Congress to be kept in
session for a period of time unprecedented
in our annals, when the revenues of the
Government are scarcely sufficient to pay
its ordinary expenses? These disclosures
conclusively show, it is to enable these
secret clubs and committees to keep up
apolitical con espondence, to get money
from the Treasury by means of their eight
doliarsa day to bear the expenses of the
campaign, and to disseminate their libelous
tracts and the Madisonians under their
franks to the subordinate committees, clubs
and individuals, in "every nook and cor
ner of the Union." Not being nblc; by
making the ISditorof the Madisonian shim
printer 10 the House, and thus keeping his
paper alive by a pension of $3,000 a year
directly from the Treasury, as was confes
sedly (lone during the last two years, they
prolong the session of Congress to get the
means from the Treasury through their en
larged pay, and to give it a free circulation
by their franks!
We now perceive why public business is
delayed in the House of Representative! by
all sorts of expedients. Wc now under
stand why no money bill is permitted to
pass without the most strenuous and pro
tracted resistance, except only the bills
for the members' pay, and for the con
ting ent expenses of the House. Their pay
is necessary to the secret fund, and the
contingent appropriation to buy paper at
the nublic. expense for wrapping up their
tons of franked circulars, documents, and
newspapers
! But if the other business
WCrC UOnc, aim uunivjsa ouuv,ivu -v.
journ, it would not only cut off the means
of political warfare, but break up and
disperse their secret club and "Executive
Committee!"
We beg the people to consider well the
disclosures here made. Do they send
members to Congress that they may
organize themselves into secret clubs and
committees, delay the public business,
prolong the sessions of Congress, use ihe
money of the public, abuse the privileges
bc.-lowed on them, and violate the laws, in
an unhallowed crusade against their own
colleagues, as well as the Administration.
An indignant no, must be Ihe answer of
everv honest man and true patriot, to what
ever jparty he may belong.

From the Washington Republican.
During a recent debate in the Sonde
of the U. Slates, in which Mr. Brown of
this Slate. Mr. Buchanan of Penns) Iva
nia, and Mr. King of Ala., undertook to
define their own position, and that of ihe
puty "on ihe currency, Mr. Calhoun
made the following rematks. They are
important, as exhibiting the conclusions of
thc-gicatest mind in the Union on ihe vcx-i-d
nurstinn of Rankinir. The subiect is
very important anil comparatively new in
this country Much latitude of opinion
may therefore be expected and should be
tolerated among those who agree in the
general principle of reform.
Mr. CALHOUN. 1 rise to say that
no one is authorized to" speak for me.
I speak for myself. . I have changed no
opinion. Uil mo contrary, every uny e
experience confirms me in the opinion,
that the banking system, as it stands I
mean banks of circulation -has proved
to be one of the greatest calamities that ev
er hefel the country.
I make no war on the banks. The
system wars against itselfj and is destined
to fall by self-slaughter. It cotiiains
within itself the elements of its own des
truction; and gentlemen on both sides
may combine to save the system, but ii
will be in vain. Its true character is now in
a course of rapid development. Wc wit
ness this day its baneful effects on the
currency and the business of the country;
but we have much to learn of its desolating
consequence's on its morals and polities. If
I should stand alone, I shall be found in op
position to the system.
