SOOTHING SYRUP
For children Teething,
PREPARED BY HIMSELF.
T 0 .Mothers and .Ytirses.
rilHE passage of the I Vet h 1 1
gums produces trnuljlesniiie ami dan
gerous symptoms. Ii is known by m
ers that there is great irritation in tin
mouth and gums during thU process. The
gums swell, the secretion of saliva is in
creased, the child is seized with frrqieui
A'ld sudden fiis of cryinu, atrliins, starl
ing in the sleep, and sp sms of peculiar
parts, the child shrieks with extreme vio
lence, and thrusts its fingers 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 who
have their little babes afflicted with these
distressing symptoms, would apply l)r
William Evans's Celebrated Soothing
Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of
infants when thought past recovery, from
being suddenly attacked with that fatal
malady, convulsions.
This infallible remedy lias preserved
hundreds of Children, when thought past
recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child
will recover. This preparation is so in
nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that
no child will refuse to let its gums be
rubbed with it. When infants are at the
age f four months, though there is no ap
pearauce 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 childre-uffnr a child
wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease by open
ing the pores ami healing the (rums; there
by preventing Convulsions, Fevers. &
To the Aent of Dr. Evans Soothing
Syrup: Dear Sir The ureal henefii
afTiirdnl to my sofferintz infant by your
Soothing Syrup, in a case of pmtrai ted
and painful dentition, must convince every
feeling parent how essential an early p
plication of such an invaluable medicine
IS In relieve infant misery and torture. My
infant, while teething, experienced such
acute sufferings, that it wa attacked m ill,
Convulsions, and my wife and fa mi I np
psed that death would soon release the
babe from anguish till we procured a hot
lie of your Symp; which as ooo as ap
plied to the coins a wonderful change was
produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by nui
linuing in iis use 1 am ulad to iiifurni
yon, the child has completely recovered,
and no recurrence of that awful complaint
has since occurred; the teeth are eman i
lllK daily and the child enjoys perfect
health. I give you my cheerful permission
lo make this acknow ledmeut putdic, and
gladly give any inform ition on this
circumstance.
When children begin to be in pain with
jheir teeth, shooting in their gums, put a
'due of the Syrup in a tea spoon, and
wlh the finger let the child's gums lie
rubbed for tw or three minutes, three
times a day. t must not be put to the
breast immediately, for the milk would
take the syrup off too soon. When the
teeth are just mining through their gums,
mothers should immediately apply the sy
JUP; it will prevent the children having a

Mr. Mangum's attack on General
Juckscn in defence of Mr. Webster.
The National Intelligencer, in its editorial
ol this morning, puts in the mouth of Mr
Mangum the grossest string of false asser
tions ever uttered. J he storv which Mr.
Mangum is made to tell, (we did not hear
him, and cannot say whether he is report
ed truly by the Lditor,) goes to defend Mr
Webster from the imputation brought on
himself by his own declaration, that he
would not vote for the three millions ap
propriated ny the House ot Kepresenta
tivesto defend the country against France,
even "iftheenemv were battering down
the walls of the Capitol."
Mr. Mangum is represented as saying,
in regard to this three million appropria
tion of the House
"And all this, for what? Why, sir, said
Mr. M. if we could have been forced into a
war, the appeal would be irresistible to the
popular feeling in favor of continuing the
'Hero of New Orleans' at the bend of the
States to guide the contest. Hence, that
portion of the Cabinet the Lower Cabinet
he believed it ivas who were in favor of
electing General Jackson for a third term,
had only to plunge the country into a war,
and the work was done. I therefore fell
(said Mr. M.) that to break up the reign
ing dynasty was indispensable. 1 looked
to a war with apprehension; not that 1
feared the prowess of the enemy abroad,
but the success of the enemy at home.11
ivr ,,(;i0 nr
. nnw , , ' ,..., tinlrilo vB:,u r.,
eral Jackson himself, nor one friend near
him, wished to plunge lhe country into
a war with France;" nor did he, or a soli
tary individual associated with bun, tn
teitain the remotest thought of his being
elected for a third term.
Gen. Jackson, with his accustomed sa
gacity, assured all around him that the on
ly mode of obtaining the fulfilment of the
treaty, and payment of the indemnities,
vvithonl war, was to prepare for war, and
let the French Government see that it had
only the alternative of meeting the cost of
a war, or the cost ol a compliance with the
treaty. He said that the simplest calcula
tion would show to France that she would
lose hundreds of millions more by viola
ting the treaty than the cost of complying
with it to say nothing of the sacrifice of
honor and good laith. He, therefore, as
Mr. Serruner informed his Government,
insisted, with an iron will," that the
treaty should be executed, or war should
be the alternative. He cared nothing for
the opinion of his Cabinet, upper or lower,
on this point He said to several who
were disposed to temporize, "1 understand
human naturetoo well 1 know the French
100 well to doubt about my policy. Mine
is the pacific course."
He was boldly and firmly sustained by
the House of Representatives. Mr. Ad
ams proposed the resolution "That the
rights of the citizens of the United States
to the indemnity from the French Govern
ment stipulated by the treaty of the 4th of
July, 1S31, ought in no event to be sacri
ficed abandoned, or impaired, by the con
sent or acquiescence of the United States."
This Resolution was voted by ayes two
hu idredand twelve, nays none; and it was
followed up by an appropriation of three
millions, to prepare for war, if events
made it necessary, and this was passed by a
majority of nearly forty. Mr. Adams
declared, in reference to the President'
course, that "whatever might be said
'he imprudence of that recommendation.
the opinion of mankind would ever be tint
it wa high-spirited and !ofiy, and such as
became the individual fiom whomitemnn
ateil. He said it now, and he u peated,
that it was the attitude which that Chief
Magistrate would bear before the world,
and before mankind, and before all poster
ity" and he added, as regarded the policy
of the recommendation, "that that which
at first view appeared imprudent, was
sometimes nothing more than becoming
firmness and boldness.'
Hut what says WilTe P. Mangum to
that "hiirh-spirited and lofty atiitude"
which Gen. Jackson's personal and politi
cal opponent, inspiied by a feeling of pat
riotism which soared above individual re
sentments, so justly extolled? Why,
masler Willie thinks it was an affair of the
kitchen cabinet, 'got up to give the Presi
dent a third term:" and although he
'looked to war with apprehension, it was
not that he feared the p'rowes of the ene
my abroad, but the success of the enemy at
home!!' And it is upon this despicable
pretext that he undertakes to justify the
sentiment of Mr. Webster, that if "toe
foreign enemy were battering down the
walls of the Capitol, he would not vote the
three millions appropriation to defend it."
It was Mr. Adims who fixed the indelible
brand upon his ami-American det-.lar ition.
He said, the man who uttered it "nad bus
one more step to tike, and that was into
the ranks 01 the enemy." Mr. Mangum
now, with a very becoming sycophancy to
!he expectant premier, tikes on him sell
the ignominy stamped for ever on Mr.
Webster by Mr. Adams. In aliuding to
this speech of Mr. Webster, (which Mr.
Allen of Ohio had just quoted 10 the Sen
ate, with the remark of Mr. Adams J Mr.
Mangum said:
"It was on that Occasion that the honora
ble Senator from Massachusetts Mr Web
stcr rose in his place and threw off one ol
the most convulsing hursts of eloquence 1
ever listened to. 1 rise net here to defend
that enator; he needs not the aid of my
puny aim. His vast national teputation,
more especially his strong American feel
ing, have endeared him to his countrymen,
and must convince even his enemies that
he is the true friend of his country. 1 was
a witness to the gigantic power of his elo
quenceon that occasion, and it was one
of the most extraordinary efforts 1 ever re
member to have heard. Had I been called
upon at the time toexpess the feeling ex
cited in my mind by the honorable Sena
tor's speech on this occasion, I should have
been ready to exclaim, 'Well done, good
and faithful servant!' "
We think a p uticipation in the ''Ameri
can" feeling which prompted Mr. W'eli
ster's conduct pending our difficulty with
France, and the war with Great Hritain.
may be safely accorded to Mr. Mangum.
Their sympathies are identical, we have no
doubt, ami the remark of Mr. Adams is as
applicable to one as to the other.
But while Mr. Mangum gives Mr. W eb
ster the glory of expressing ihe American
feeling on the French question better than
any one else, he reserves for Mr. Clay the
still greater ler.own of saving the nation
from the war which "the enemy at home"
(Gen. Jackson and his friends) had conspir
ed to btingupon the country.
Hear him:
"And here suffer me to sav peihaps 1
ought not to say "it, jet I will say- that in
aL probability that war was averted by the
genius and wisdom and sagacily ol one
man (alluding to Mr. Clav. ) sitting in a
committee-room of this Capitol. 1 believe,
if ihe secrets of that committee-room could
be brought ou to the light, they would stili
further enhance a reputation which is the
property and pride of our country, and
would add one more to the long list ol the
public services of that distinguished man."
Modest man. to say "what he ought not
to say," and to say it, too in the face ol
decency and truth! What did Mhe genius
and sagacity of one man sitting in a com
mittee room of this Capitol" hatch, winch
had such an electric e ffect, that instanta
neously "war was averted?" It was this
resofution which the Senate voted:
"Resolved, That it is inexpedient at pn-
sent to adopt any legislative measure in
regard 10 the state ot anairs oeiween the
United States and France."
Of the marvellous ''secrets of tint com
mittee room," this is the consummation.
Mr. Clay's secret sittings only produced
the public prodigy that the Senate would
do nothing; and Old Hickory, sustained
by the House of Representatives and the
public spirit, was Itfi to settle the matter
with the refractory Chambeis of France.!
He did settle it; and now, upon the myste
rious givings out of Willie P. Mangum,

Fugitive Slaves. The Whig Sta e of
Vermont is following in the wake, of New
York Whigery, on tni important mo
ofjjecf, which mut soon shake the Union t
ils very centie 'The Legislature nf Ver
mont, at its lecent session, passed a law
regulating the proceeding to be"' had in
case of claiming a nmaivy slave in that
State. The New York Adverser gives
the following as some of the impottant
provisions of the law: So. Carolinian.
" The claim must in ail cases be passed
upon by a jury that if the decision is a
gainst the claimant, the alleged slave shall
never aain be molested upon the same
claim; and any subsequent aricst, or remo
val of the alleged slave out of the State,
under any process whatever, shall he pun

ney, who shall appe.r for the alleged slave,
shall be emit led to subpoenas without

he Hutched the hands of the clock with
much anxiety, and thai w hen the hour of
midnight tolled ihe knell of the old )ear,
he exclaimed, with evident joy: There!
it has passed!"
The year 1740 was marked by great
political changes, all over the world. A
journal published the pieceding ear, cal
led the rohiical Mercury, says: Europe
Asia, and America, have been the theatres
of scenes at once new and incredible. Eu
rope presents an aspect wholly different
fiom that which it wore the preceding
year. 'The same journal gives an account
of some very destructive inundations in
Frai.ce, precisely similar to those which
have recently taken place in that count ty.
A curious paiallel may be tmctd be
tween the events of 1 740 ami 1840. The
aspect iS affairs in Europe, has certainly
undergone a great change during the past
year. 'The opposite political elements
have been combined, and the principal
Christian powers of Eui ope, with the t
ception of France, Lave been sten allied
to support the empiie ofM;diomet. Three
momoclis hav e disappeared from the stage
of action; the king of Prussia, by death;
the king of Holland, by voluntary abdica
tion; the Queen Regent of Spain, by com
pulsory abdication. In England, a queen
has been mamed and shot at, and a prin
ces?! has been born. For the sixih lime.
Louis Philippe has been the mark of an as-
s issin. Louis INapoIeon has made an un
successful attempt at revolution; and Ihe
relics ol the great Napoleon has been trans
ferred to France in a national ship.
In Asia, the war ol Kussia wiih Khiva,
has developed the far-reached ambition of
the f'zir. England has sent her fleets to
China, and the result may, eie this, have
ben one of momentous interest 10 the civ
ilized world.
In South America, old confederations
have heen broken up, and discord and an
archy have prevailed. Peru and Chili
have separated, and the Stales of Central
America, hitherto united, have dissolved
into fragments. Yucatan and Tobasco
ave seceded from Mexico; and 'Texas is
forever released from her by the acknowl
edgement of the independence of the
youthful Republic by England and Hol
land. A new continent has been discovered by
the national ships of the United States and
France. A new political era has been cre
ated in this country, by the complex over
throw of Mr. Van HutPn's Administration.
'Take it all in a'.I, v.e musl confess, there
