SOOTHING SYRUP

PREPARED BY HIMSELF.
To .Mothers and .Nurses.
finil passage of the Teeth through the
gums produces troublesome and dan
gerous symptoms. It is known by moth
ers that there is great nutation in ihe
mouth and gums during this process. Tin
.urns swell, the secretion of saliva is in
creased, the child is seized with (Veqieni
a-nJ suddeti fits ol crying, watchins, start
ing in the sleep, and spasms of peculiar
parts, the child shrieks with extreme vio
lence, and thrusts its finders into its month.
If these precursory symptoms are not spee
dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni
versally supervene, and soon cause the
dissuliition of the infant. If mothers who
liave their little babes nfilicicd with these
distressing symptoms, would apply I Jr.
William Evans's Celebrated Soothing
Synip, which has preserved hundreds of
infants when thought past recovery, from
being 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 robbed on the gums, the child
will recover. This preparation is so in
nnrent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that
tin (hild will refuse to let its gums be
rubbed with it. When infants are at the
age of four months, though there is no ap
pearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to
open the nores. Parents should never be
without the Syrup in the nursery w here

From the Globe, Feb. .0.
Arrival of General Harrison. The
j President elect arrived in the city about
eleven o clock to-day.
General Harrison and his friends, before
the election, insisted strongly upon the
propriety of abstinence fr om all arrogance
and ostentation on the part of a Republican
President. The ordinary ornamental fur
niture cf his dwelling, not surpassing that
of wealthy citizens, was not. to bo tolerated,
an(1 1 resident V an Boron was openly
charg-d by the National Intelligencer with
v" ;iU,1S 1 "c, "ecormn oi us station, in
tepivioji lo mi iiiiei i oiiioi ies ui ins iei-
low-citiZ'-ns, as bringing the power ol his
place into the discussions of the people.
1 1 was looked upon as arrogating an influ
ence over the public mind, to stale his o
pinions, even when called for by the let
ters of his opponents, as throwing his great
office into the scale. His modest respons
es, strictly confined to the question pro
pounded, and in no instance making an al
lusion the most 'emote to the rival candi
date, were denounced by the National In
telligencer. General Harrison Ins, in all things, al-
ready ialsiiieu the professions ol Ior-cabin
plainness simplicity, and modesty, that
were made to win the confi ience of the
yeomanry of this country. He set. of!
from Cincinnati with a speech full of ego
lism, addressed to the gathering throng of
that city: lie embarked in a splendid
steamer lilted up for the occasion; he was
escorted by a military array, and a'temlcd
by a band of music; the firing of cannon,
and other martial and civic ostentation,
was gotten up by his Federal friends where
ever he stopped, to feed his vanity. lie
went out of his way even to Pittsburgh to
extend, what his flattering organs called
by the fine name given to the journey ings'
of royalty, " progress." Wherever he
went, he made speeches, and in that at
Dultimore did not hesitate to impute cor
ruption in no very indirect terms to the
Administration whose place he is cal ed
upon to supply. Anil even here, where he
has come to be inaugurated, he repairs in a
solemn march with a prodigious retinue to
the City Hall, to make a display, by way
of heralding his own Presidential honors in
advance.
I low different this from the course of
the real hero the brave and magnanimous
Jackson! He left the Hermitage without
a speech-making display passed on quiet
ly by the nearest route to Wahington,
s'aying over night at Rockvillc, within
ten miles of the city, and while the citizens
were preparing an escort for him, he has
tened his journey early in the morning,
and surprised the people, and presented
himself at Gadsby's as a private cilizen,
without Ihe inhering of cannon, of bells,
of flags, of processions, or City Hall recep
tion Amidst all this ceremonious, paradeful
progress, there were, however, sad signs

The unfortunate accident which occurred
!o-day, and blended itself with these, was
the breaking of the cord which, stretched
across the avenue, bote all the fl igs of the
Slates which voted for Harrison. They
were separated about the centre, and fell
Xorh and South; and when we saw them,
tarnished and draggled in the mire, som
awkward members of ihe Tippecanoe Club
were busied in the effort to bind them to
gether again with the rotten rope.
This looks something like Stale Bank
ruptcy. i as the Federalists say, the
isMiingof Treasury Hills is an evidence of
the bankruptcy of the Federal Treasury,
the following Resolutions and Acts passed
by the last Whig Legislature of this State,
seem to squint at the total bankruptcy of
the State Treasury.
A resolution authorizing the Public
Treasurer to borrow a sum not exceeding
S70.000, to defray the expenses of the
State from this time until the 1st of No
vember, 1S42!! We ask why is this?
That the taxes paid by the people into the
Treasur y, should not be sufficient to de
fray the ordinary expenses of the State,
as they used to be? Perhaps the. follow
ing acts and resolutions passed by the same
legislature, will furnish the answer:
An act for the relief of the Wilmington
Railroad, pledging the faith of the Slate
for S300,000.
An act for the Relief of the Raleigh and
Gaston Railroad, granting to it the faith
of the State for 300,000.
About 31 j000 more appropriated to the
purposes of building and furnishing th ;t
splendid log-cabin, the Sta?c House,
which has already cost the State half a
million of dollars, and which our present
log-cabin Governor, so highly commend
ed for its princely magnificence, in his
inaugural address.
Th? sum of SdOOO to furnish and repair
the Governor's House, for the reception
of our economical log-cabin Governor.
The sum of S4S, to pay a servant to wait
in t lie Governor's office. This is new.
An entering wedge, and indirectly in
creasing the Governor s salary. We
are informed that all former Governors
have furnished their own servants; and,
with as much propriety, the State might
hire all the Governor's servants. Re
member we were promised economy,
and reform, and this establishes a prece
dent, a principle, which will lead in time,
to a vast expense.
A resolution to pay George E. Padger
S2 500 for a fee, and S500 to Gov.
Swain, for the same.
A resolution to loon Wafce Forest College

Population of North Carolina. The
late Census of this State compared with
thatofUSSO, presents some serious facts
to the people of North Carolina. It shows
that our State in ten years has hardly in
creased her population at all; in fact, her
slave population has actually decreased.
This is the effect of emigration. The fol-lowiti"-

" Dream?" Why so, sir? Have wt
not in the settlements which you have enu
merated, nearly a milli.m of inhabitants
and villages, towns and cities, growing up
with rapidity which astonishes even the
natives, accustomed as they are to changes
of all kinds? The two Slates and Territo
ries in question can furnish, we gucfS,
some seventy or eighty printing offices
and some very extorsive one too. By
the time the new appointment of represen
tation is made to take effect, Iowa and
Wisconsin will be knocking zl Ihe door of
Congr ess for admission into the Union, as
independent States adding four to the
number of Senators, and giving to each a
Representative in Congress. Missouri
has now a population which will entitle
her to six Representatives in the next Con
gress; and Illinois will noi be satisfied with
less than eight or ten. The establishment
in question is no 'dream;" and others, e
qually useful and far more extensive, are
daily rearing among us.

American Ingenuity The Nashville
Whig thus describes a new bucket-making
n aehine which is in operation in that city:
' flu invention may be said to be one
of the innumerable results of the discovery
of steam power. Its operation is curious
enough to one not thoroughly versed in the
science of mechanics. The material used
is principally red and white cedar. The
whole process from the rough block up, of
sawing, grooving, turning and finishing is
conducted by steam machinery. The
manual force required to turn out five or
six hundred buckets a month is only about
four hands."
