Sherman's Cough Lozenges, Are the safest, most sure and effectual re medy for Coughs, colds, consumptions, whooping cough, asthma, tightness of the lungs or chest, -c. The proprietor has never known an instance where they did not give perfect satisfaction. Several thousand boxes have been sold within the last year, restoring to health persons in almost every stage of consumption, and those laboring under the most distressing colds and coughs. They do not check and dry up the cough, but render it easy, promote expectoration, allay the tickling or irritation, and remove the proximate or exciting cause. They are made from a combination of the most valuable expee torant or cough medicines, and are un doubtedly superior to every thing in use for those complaints. Hundreds upon hundreds of certificates have been offered of their wonderful virtues, from those who have been saved tmm an untimely grave, and restored to peifect health, by using them. Sherman's JVorm Lozenges, Proved in more than 400,000 cases to be infallible; the only certain worm-destroy ing medicine ever discovered. Many dis eases arise from worm and occasion long and intense -suffering & even death; with out their ever being Mi-pecteel; grown persons are very often ;fil cled with them and are doctoied for various co.nplaints, without any beiufi"; when one dose ot those Loz nges would speedily cure them.

To Oh, do not talk to me of love, Tis deepest cruelty to me: Why throw a net around a bird That might be happy, light and free. It may be sport to win a heart, Then leave that heart to pine and die; The vows which now my bosom rend. May not cost you one single sigh. The love which is as life to me, Is but a simple toy to you; The falsehood at which you but smile, Is death to one so fond, so true. Then do not talk to me of love. My heart is far too warm for thine; Go and 'mid pleasure's lights and smiles, Heed not what clouds and tears are mine! E.G.J. II. From the Fayetleville Journal. In consequence of a rumor industriously circulated by a certain class of politicians, (the cue to which was given in the Obser ver, just after the adjournment of the Dem ocratic Convention,) we publish the fol lowing CORRESPONDENCE Between Dr. Cameron and IV. H. Hay wood, Jr. Fayetleville, Feb. 8, 1842. To Mr. IV. H. Haywood, Jr. Dear Sir: It is rumored here, that you were opposed to the nomination of Mr. Henry, or at least, that you were indiffer ent about it; this has excited some surprise cion amongst your friends, and they would like to know, (if there is any truth in the report,) what are your reasons for it. The nomination, as far as 1 have heard, gives universal satisfaction, to his political friends. Very respectfully, your obedien' servant, THOMAS N. CAMERON. Raleigh, Feb. 16, 1S42. Dr. Thos N Cameron. My Dear Sir: 1 have heretofore uni formly waived my privilege to expose, by any form of address to the public, the cal umnies which my political opponents saw fit, from lime to time, to promulgate a gainst me. But aliho' 1 have often for borne to make a defence of myself, and sometimes, when it cost me no little sacri fice of personal pride and feeling, my rea sons for it are not important now, and it is sufficient that my right to pursue a differ ent course upon the present occasion, is a perfect right, and therefore needs no ex cuse for its exercise. Your letter, (in a de cree at least,) obliges me to answer for myself, but whether this answer shall be published to the.world,or kept as a private communicjtton, I leave entirely to your own discretion. For myself, I have no ambition to ap pear before the public at all, but I h ive no opinions upon puouc questions, wnicn tare not utter any where, and no motive for mv conduct that requires concealment Judging by the ptst, however I think you will discover that every effort you make to correct one such rumor, such as respects me arid more particularly m regard to our candidate, will be little more than remov ing one falsehood out of the way, to make room for another. But 1 proceed to my answer, as that will belong enough, with out my complaints. It were a great mistaue then, 1 assure vou in any body, to suppose that because 1 did not concur wun ine ieiuocraitc ion . Hi. . vention n the propriety oi auuuing, in their proceedings as a Convention, to the burial expenses oi veu. wamsuii, uia therefore 1 had left the Democratic party or was opposed to the nomination of Mr. Henry, or felt inchnerent to nis election To believe this of me, would be ungen erous in a friend unjust in n adversary. ,1 cannot leave the Democratic party, with out renouncing the Democratic politic! taith. I his I did not do then I have not done it since: and I do not calcul ate upon doing it hereafter. My parly is taken up on account of my faith, not my faith on ac count of the party. My political princi ples do not hang loose enough about me to be put off and on at pleasure. My politi cal opinions are not easily altered, because i ney nave not o?en lightly lormed. I re cognize no power, in any man or pirty, to ob'ige me to say what I do not think whilst 1 would consent to omitting any thing where the omission sacrificed no principle of my faith, to obtain the concur rence of an associate, and to admit the co operation ofa brother. If other men, as free to act and think for themselves as I am for myselj, preferred not to strike out the dlusion, I have not even complained a gainst it, but certainly 1 ought not to be ac cused of treachery. Last of all, have I been brought into hostility to Louis D. Henry nomination for Governor." Opposed to Mr. Henry! l have heen longer upon the same side with him, in our past political contest, than with almost any other prominent marj m North Carolina. We went together for General Jackson, first about the time 1 c ame to full age, and after it in all his elec lions, and we have been together ever since. J admire his attachment to the principles of Democracy, and his deep de votion to the Union, and 1 have unqualifi ed confidence in both. His enemies may aff ct to question his Democracy, but it is because they do not know the sincerity ol the man. They will pretend to charge him with Federalism, whf n in reality, they hate him for his unyielding Democracy. They are referring to the prejudices of his education, and the errors of his boyhood only, because, being no candidate fur of fice, yet against the feelings of kindred, the pudeot former associations, and the per sonal interest that has blinded so many oth ers, his riper years have found him an o pen, fearless, undisguised, disinterested advocate of Democracy; and the favor of his inends has now made him the cham pion of such as '"love their principles for the sake of their Country." If there is man in this world who would scorn dis simulation in politics, you know it is Lou is D. Henry. That which makes him a scourge to demagogues and a terror to his political enemies, will provoke party mal ice to falsify his acts, and traduce his mo tives, but it is that which commends his nomination to my peculiar approbation, and should rouse up the real people of the Mate, every where, to his support. He is honest, capable and faithful. Honest in ns pro'.essions capable to fulfil them and faithful to the Constitution and the People. How then could I feel hostile to his nomination? Politically and financially, this State needs just such a Governor as he would make! VV hether as a State singly, or as a p trt of the United States, he is just the man that is reauired for the times. 1 have known him, and observed his course, at home and abroad, in private and public every where he has shown himself a Dem ocrat, hut not a demagogue a patriot, but not a mere partizan a statesman of the right stamp a politician without hypocri sy, and iree oi an disguise, ino matter in what station he has been required to per form his part; has he not been wise in counsel resolute in action diligent in business eloquent in debate true to his friends magnanimous to his enemies faithful to all his promises and false to no trust he would accept? This is high praise, (if my compliments of him could be con sidered such,) but you have asked me for my opinions, to vindicate me against the late rumors of being opposed to the Dem ocratic candidate: Probably the blow was aimed at him, because his enemies knew 1 understood his character, and would there fore excite a suspicion against him from the imputed indifference of the friend who knew him best. At any rate all that 1 have written 1 believe, and do most sin cerely think that there is no one in our Slate, whom it will be so wise, so safe, I even add so necessary, to put into the Ex ecutive chair of the State not for him a lone, nor even for his party, singly, but for North CarnlinaX How then is it pos sible for me to feel indifferent to his elec tion? No, sir! My head and heart both concurred in his nomination. My patriot ism, politics, and State pride, all unite in desiring that Louis D. Henry may be e lected THE GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA. As was said by the great namesake of Mr. Henry's, upon a "much greater occa sion, "Ifthafs treason, make, the most of it." Your friend, WILL. H. HAYWOOD, Jr. Accidental Death. A young man An derson Caulk, of the north part of the coun ty, while riding to the burial of a deceased brother-in-law, on the 5lh inst., was thrown from his horse and immediately killed. He had started after the balanceof the company, and was riding briskly when his horse took fright and threw him nea ly insight of the burial ground. The carriage which convey ed the remain1 of his brother-in law to their final resting place, carried back his own corpse to be prepared for the awful ri'es of sepulture. Greensboro' Patriot A Highway R,bher Shut.- The Sun b'iry American says: A gentlemin, direct from Tioia eountv. informs us thai a travel ler, who h id a considerable sum of money with him, left Well-shoro on horseback about 4ten days since, on his road west Abjut 12 miles west of Smithport. he stop ped al a house kept by a man named Brush, of suspicious character, hut the only house on the road, and but few miles before he entered the wilderness. There was nothing that occurred in the house that excited his suspicion, but he had scarcely entered into the vvo.xls when a rabbit came running into the road. He drew his pistol to shoot ii, but it missed fire. He thn tried another with the same effct. This excited in hi mind some suspicion, and on examining his pistols found that the charges had been drawn from both and filled with bran. II e popped short, and immediately reloaded both pistols, and before he h id proceeded a mile on his road, a man, with his face painted black, rushed out Irom the wood and seized the bridle of his horse. The traveller drew a pistol and told him he would shoot him if he did not let go. The robber replied that, he was not afraid of hi- pistol. The traveller then fired upon him and shot him through the heart. He imme diately rode back to the house for assistance, to which the robber was removed, and on washing his face discovered the landlord. Heavy Damages against a Railroad Company ..A suit has been tried in Boston lately, which has excited some interest. It was an action brought by a Signor Ostmel li against the Worcester tfailroad Company; first, for 2$ 10,000 damages forthe lossof the services of his son, who had been injured, probably for life, from a collision of the cars; and, secondly, for $15,000 additional, on the grouud that the son had been rendered incapable of supporting himself for life. The Jury gave him $12,000 for his son, and $ 1,000 for himself. Poison from inhaling the smoke of a Coal Pit. Dr. Walker, of Speedwell, Claiborne county, Ten. has furnished us with the particulars of a most surprising case of poison, resulting from inhaling the smoke of a coal pit. On the 28th ult. Mr. William St. John put fire to a pit of wood, which had been cut three years previous. After it had been on fire a short lime it commenced i-blowing" when the father and his two sons became violently ill, and all vomited. The two sons became insane, and fell upon the ground violent convulsions followed their tongues were swollen to a great size, and protruded beyond their mouths the eyes started from their sockets, and remained for some time fixed, immovable, and soon the joints of the whole system became stiff. The Doctor states that he saw them in about three hours after the attack, hail them hauled home, where he administered medical aid. The eldest was able to articulate words in about nine hours, the youngest, some sooner. The third day they were convalescent, and out of danger. Knoxville Post. QJThe Vicksburg Sentinel of the 10;h insl. states that an abolitionist has been caught in than city in the act of carrying off several, slaves, and is in prison, awaiting his trial. A rich bequest. The late Mr. Bussey's bequest to Harvard University, is 5350.- 000; the whole of which, however, will not take effect immediately. One half of the income of this bequest, is to be devoted to the support ofa Seminary under the control of the University, for instruction in practical Agriculture, and ornamental Gardening, in Botany, and in such bran ches of natural science, as may tend to promote a knowledge of practical Agi icul ture, & the various arts subservient there to and connected therewith. The residue of the income to be divided equally be tween the Divinity School and the Law School of the University. This legacy is by far the largest ever left to any literary institution in this country, with the excep tion of Mr. Girard's, and will add greatly to the advantages for Education which Harvard University already affords. American Sentinel. Singular. There is a political newspa per at Rockville, Ind., one page of wh ch advocates whig doctrines, and another dem ociatic. The paper is called the 01ive Branch."' It has two editors, one whig and one democrat. Mesmerism. The follwing extract from an English journal is going theiounds of the American papers. The same appli cation of Mesmerism, to enable the patient I to undergo a severe operation without feel- ing p tin, has frequently been1 made both irt Eurrp'and in this country. A number ol v'll a. ip.iied instances have been noted at the eastward, and several Cases of a similar 'hiracter have occurred in this city. We re tld of one precisely parallel to that re corded bi low, which happened a few weeks since at the Northern Liberties Dispensa rya tooth being extracted from an indi vidual in the mesmeric condition without the slightest sensition of pain. Mesmerism, it appears, is likely to be extremely serviceable to dentists, if not taf other operators on the human frame. Mr. Gardiner of Roothe Court, Hants, has ad dieted a -letter to the Hampshire Stand ard, in which he sta es that, having bean interrupted in the course of certain Mes meric expenmen's by a violent tooth ache in one of the patients, (whom I had exhib ited io Dr. Eliiotjon and Engledue.) it oc curred to me that the insensibility which is an invariable concomitant of the true sleep-walkingstate would afford me an ad mirable opportunity of benefiting the suf ferer, and of extending the application of m-'SuieuMn. My friend Dr. Engledue obtained ihe assistance of Mr. M.artin, a gentleman who knew little and believed less about mesmerism, and who decidedly questioned the practicability of the propo sed operation, He came. In two min utes, the patient (a young lady) was in the puled mesmeric trance, and therefore in sensible. Mr. M. seized the tooth (a mol- ar or jaw tooth) with the forceps, purpose ly prolonging the wrench (as agreed upon widi Dr. Engledue, prior to his visit, in order to test thoroughly the insensibility f the patient.) and drew forth the tooth. No! a pang or a symptom of suffering! In as'iorltimel restored the patient to her natural state in the usual manner. Upon being told that the tooth had been extract ed, .she excl.imed, "Did I feel it?" a sin gular greeting to a dentist's ears! Mr. Martin then proceeded to examine her mouth, and suggested the removal cf a- notner tooth. I ne patient laugning con sented, and sat again. In one minute and a half I again entranced her, and she be came, of course, as insensible as before. The tooth, being in an advanced state of decay, was crushed under the instrument, and the remnants were with much trouble extrac ted. During the whole of this trying op eration, not a groan or complaiut escaped the patient. Shortly afterwards, 1 again restored her, she went to the glass, to as certain whether or not she had really lost the second tooth It would be difficult ta determine which party evinced the great est degree of delight and astonishment the one having witnessed a novel and most astonishing phenomenon; the other having been unconsciously, almost magically, freed fiom her tormentors. The New York Exchange. Thsr ground upon which this magnificent edifice stands, cost about S750,00d. The entire co-t of the Exchange will be about 51, 100,000. The income from rents, when all the apartments are finished and occupi ed, will he :bout gl00,000 That portion of the building which was completed on the 1st of May last, and is now occupied, yields the current year about $50,000. (jJSmish, the free negro charged' with abducting two of Dr. Cabell's slaves at Richmond, ha? been tried, found guilty and sent to the Penitentiary for fifteen years. Another Bank Closed. The Utica Gazette says: "A letter from a gertleman in Cleveland, to his correspondent in thit city, dated the 11th inst. says, 'the panic noticed in my last has not decreased. The Commercial Bank of Lake Erie closed its doors for the last time to-day.' This was Otis of the oldest, and supposed to be one of the strongest banks in Ohio. Appre hensions are entertained that other banks which have hi'herto been in good credit, will soon stop." Welcome ta i'Boz." Since La Fayette was the "Nation's Guest,,y the arrival of no stranger in this country has excited so grat and general a degree of interest as that of Mr. Charles Dickens, the popular En tifish author. The Northern Cities arc vieing with each other, in their attentions to the distinguished stranger, and he shows by his modest and correct deportment. that he has the good sense to place these civilities io their proper account: v? , Bal Reg. Truly Distressing. Mr. Robert Wil lis, late commission Merchant of. New York, lost his life on Friday last on the Trenton Railroad. He was engaged to be married to a young lady of Wilmington, Del., and at the time of the lamentable cir cumstance, was on h s way thither to hare trie marriage solemnized. It is truly a eart rending calamity, and must fall upon ns friends, and the heart of her to whom his affections were plighted, with distress ing effect. ib. - "x i 1
