OPODZWIC AREAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.—There is not, perhapq, in the whole Materia Medics, any one remedy which so effectually relieves the pain of a suffering patient as the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watch the writhing tortures into which a lovely infant is often convulsed, during the period of dentition, without feeling rimpatly for its sufferings ? And who would hesitate to procure a remedy, when a remedy can be found, which is obvious by the effectual relief afforded in so many distressing cares which are daily coming to the notice of Mrs. JOHNSON? Therefore, Mothers ought to be without the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP in the Wareery ; for if a Child awakes in the night with pain. by only rubbing the gunis with a few drops of the Syrup, it will immtiii aroly open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevers and convulsions ; for, should it come la .competition with any other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes. To be had, Wholesale and Retail, of Mrs. Johnson, anie Proprietor of the American Soothing Syrup, and SSITSCIA 114111 Oil for whim the Hair grow, 2S, York-place, City- road , Lornion ; and. by her ap polstment, of Mr. J.

ELIZABETH READ, Died Jan, 29th, 1826, Aged 26 years. A charcoal fire that took away her breath, It was the cause of her most sudden death. In usual health she went to bed at night, But dead and cold before the morning light. J. T. • In France and Germany, the people can work their materials into goods for tale cheaper than we can here by the hand; the consequence would be, that unless we could do the same here better, and more cheaply, the manufacturers of this country would not be able to sell their goods, as the markets would be already stocked with cheaper article.: hence it was necessary to find means to undersell the foreign markets.-- thus arose machinery; that is, certain mechanical contrivances to quicken labour, and to diminish the expense of manufacturing goods. If this had not been discovered, the materials could not be worked into goods for sale; none of course could be sent abroad ; very many ships would therefore be unemployed, consequently so many sailors would not be wanted ; people would not be called upon to make machines; and there being no machinery, the people would not be occupied in working them: of course the result must be, that there would be no commerce or trade—hence universal distress and misery would in. evitably follow with actual starvation ; for, if you cannot sell your goods to buy corn, you cannot get bread. Why (you will say) was not this the case before machinery was found out ? The answer is at hand : because in France and Garnany they did not know the way of under. selling us in the market. With machinery, we can undersell the fo. reign markets, our goods are therefore in constant demand : to supply that demand, (which would not be made if we could not undersell,) ma ehineries are employed; they are constantly wearing out, people must be employed to repair and make new ones; and thus there is an inces sant ronnd of employ for a vast body of people, which would not be without machinery, so as to enable us to undersell. More than this : as machinery makes goods better and cheaper, you get all your clothing cheaper —coat, waitcoat, calicoes, stockings, &c. by getting these things cheaper, the landlord can more readily lower his rents, the farmer can therefore sell his corn cheaper, and you therefore can get your bread cheaper : thus there is a balance between the clothes you wear and the price of food ; and the manufacturer by getting his food cheaper, Can sell his goods still cheaper, and thus one affects the other, and .ell the necessaries of life arc atfected in the same proportion. Maeltints, there fore whether for use in husbandry, for making flour or stockings or whet goods bring dowu the price of articles more in reach a the poor; thus from whatever causes the distress may arise, it dues hot arise flout ma chineries, for without them in the present state of the world, there would be an actual famine in the land. 'Therefore do not destroy ma. chines ; these contrivances arc valuable to the country and to you. Take an example in another way. You labourers in the field know that plough husbandry a less expensive than spade husbandry, because a two-horse plough with two men, can work more ground in a giro' time, cheaper than ten or twenty men with as many spades—hence arose ploughs, which is machinery. Would you therefore think it right, because a plough employs only two men, to destroy ploughs' altogether i what nonsense ! for what would be the result ? why the plough makers would be unemployed, food would be also dearer, and then there would still be an unemployed population with greater wretchedness from greater dearness of ford and its consequences t—hence the good old toast of " Speed the Plough." You can apply the same observation to wind or water mills for grinding corn into flour. It would take more men to hand-grind ; but if you were to destroy such mills on that account, the same mischief would follow in a proportionate degree, and so on with other machines, as those for printing, paper making, & c. 2 le a k not then the machinery which has produced the evils; therefore, my fellow-countrymen, reflect upon what I have written. But experience and practical facts are more worth than all reasoning. About fifty yeats ago these was very little if any machinery at Manchester ; since that time looms and machinery of all kinds have multiplied in a very large proportion ; and notwith standing the population has more than doubled in the same time, not a man is now unemployed there. Think of this again ' my frrenda, and respect machinery. And you incendiaries, you are doing the cruelest mischief to the poor in burning corn stacks, thus thinking to injure the owners—you are mistaken ; for you not only distress the poor by de stroying food, but you do a positive good at the time to the proprietor, for he insures, and gets the price of his corn from the insurance office, without the expense and trouble of thrashing and sending it to market. The reduction in national expenditure, (about to take place,) will bring on a corresponding reduction of taxation : this will lower the rents, and enable the fanner to pay the labourer better wages ; and such a state of reduction will also induce a proportionate reduction in tithe, foe the tithe-holder will not be left behind in this work of restoring comfort. and the contemplated reform in parliamentary representation, will materially assist in preventing a recurrence of the evils complained of Your Friend, X.
