70 Correshondenta.--W should be glad
if the essaysts who are sending forth their
productions upon the subject of English
Grammar, would temper their remarks
with degree of moderation and GOODNESS.
laseyeral communications, pro. and con. we
have met with language, which, TO a sensa-
tive and delicate mind, would be harsh and
offensive, and considered as bordering too
much upon virulence. The Wimmptonirn
las been commended for the mildness, and
moderation it has displayed while canvass
ag subjects, by men whose judgement and
opinions, we vcnerate and esteem. An or
'hodoX, or we'll written communication will
always be acceptable. Discussion, upon i'm
portant points, where the public interest is
involved, and where the mind, by reading,
may be benefited, where new IDEAS are
brought to light, and old and erroneous o.
pmons, are eradicated to give place to
others new and more correct, will always
meet hearty welcome. But we will not fill
our columns with the petty disputes and
'esty pickering of individuals, whose lengthy
illusions amount to nothing above a private
dispute, in which none are interested but
'nemselvcs-to the exclusion of matter more
useful, consequently more acceptable to our
readers.

Dear SRI have just read your reply to

no apology for your improper conduct I

SWAINI,S PANACEA.

Observing in the National Gazette, the
annexed communication, and considering
that it merits wide circulation, l take the
liberty of requesting you to publish the same
in your valuable paper.
II Subscriber
S7yaim's Panacea.-Haying made the pro-
per inquiry, we can youch for the accuracy
of the statemart contained in the su5joined
communication. No one should hesitate to
bear Just evidence to the merits of a medi-
cine like that of M. Swain, which would
seem to be very different from the nostums
of the dav.
To the Gditor " hhe N4fi1nQl Gazette.
DR.. Gibson, Professor Of surgery IN tne
University Of Pennsylvania, il his Lecture on
Monday the 18th inst. spoke in high terms of
Mr. Swaim's Panacea. He remarked that
he had found it decidedly beneficial in chro-
mic cases Of Syphilis, and that he had known
patients VINO had laboured under this disease
for length Of time, md tried almost eyery
remedy commonly employed for its cure
with very little, if any effect; but who, after
using the Panacea, recovered quickly and en-
tircly. He related several instances of rapid
and extraordinary restoration to ROBUST health
from state of the most miserable weakness
and infection, wherein repeated salivations
had produced only the mischief incident to
the use of mercury. He spoke likewise of
/ Mr. Swain personally, acknowledging the
generosity which he had shown in the dstri-
button of his medicine to the poor, and in the
support even of whole families, until cure
was effected.
The professor mentioned that he had been
censured by surgeons and physicians for re-
commencing the Panacea Of Swain, but that
he thought it duty which he owed to suffer-
ing humanity, not to withhold the experience
of its efiicacious character.
n. B. 1t is to be regretted that there are
a number of spurious mixtures in imitation Of
this valuable remedy We are glad to find
that no respectable person is concerned in the
fraud .Nclicus.

Resolped, That we extremely regret the
necessity Of assembling in public meeting for
the purpose of expressing our disapproba

in the present instance we feel it to be an
imperious duty on us as taxable citizens to
demonstrate against the partial apportion-

Resolved, That we fully and warmly APP

made to this unjust measure by the members

| ryECUTION OF A MURDERER,
Hi, was the day assigned for the eAecu-
nof John +. Van Patten, for the murder Of
u,s Schermerhorn, few months since, in
. county of Schenectady. And although
IL place If execution is fifteen miles distant
.,n Albany, and the roads exceedingly
sd vet at an early hour this morning, it
.ned as though every carriage and Wagon
n the city was in motion; and the people
re pouring forth from town by hundreds.
Me- story of the hardened sufferer is a brief
ne. He was n young man of about 26 and
auglt school in the town of Rotterdam. 1t
.pprars that he was paying his addresses to
Young woman, and that Mrs. Schermer-
ON cautioned her against marrying him.
Horparents interfcred, and he was desired
adiscontnuc his visits He thereupon went
"a neighbour Of Mr.. 8. and borrowed a gun,
nder the pretcXt of hunting squirrels.
With this, at monday, he proceeded to the
,ou,e Of Mr.. 5. went in, and after biding
GOOD morning, asked Mrs. s. who was sitting
b, the fire with her mother and children, to
g.yc him some tow for waddng.
As She rose and turned from him to go up
sairs and get it, he discharged the contents
d the gun into her back and She fell and cx-
pred instantly. An effort was made to
move insanity, bat in vain. Nor was the
ilrrid deed the effect of sudden gust of
passion; for it appeared in evidence that on
former occasion, a match had been broken
of5etween him and another female, and he
;acn declared that if such case ever occur
-aagain, he would kill the person who should
lpducc such result 1t also appeared that
lie day before the commission of the crime
.eenqured ofa man whether death would
most certainly ensue from Shot in the
aead or body. Efforts have been made
y procure pardon, or a commuta-
;on of punishment; but the executive, very
properly, considered it too aggravated a case
y warrant an interposition OF mercy. And
am told that he has appeared hardened and
Indifferent to his fate to the last.--He is now
