SHOWER-BATES,

shower'baths are frequently improperly applied ard
have known the worst consequences to follow from
their misapplcation. n."-RITTEEBoUsE
We were never particularly partial 10 shower
baths, and certain we are, that before we receive
them, we should like to be consulted relative to
our disposition towards their reception. But
there are humane and benevolent people in this
world who are SO anxious to perform their acts
OF charity and christian philanthrophy, that they
will impose upon you their kindnesses, without
asking you whether you will or nay. The o.he,
day, as we were lesurely walking up westminste,
Street, one Of those good-natured and philantbro-
pic ladies, who ever have the happiness of fra,
mortality at heart, opened her window, and very
kindly gave us shower-bath, composed ofcoffee-
grounds, dish-water, and other odorferous inere-
dents, to our no little dismay and discontinue.
Now, although shower-baths may in certain cases,
be productive Of much good. we do not believe
that the one We received was at all conducive to
our welfare. We agree with Dr.. Rittenhon.e.
that "shower-baths are frequently improperly
applied" and we beg the lady who kindly favor
ed us with bath, before she does so srain, 70
just cry out, "stand from under," or "Sir, will
you have bath, or no bath ?"

FREEDOMS JoURNAL--A newspaper publ.
cation, bearing this title, has recently made its
appearance in the city of New-York. 1t is devo.
ted to the cause Of the blacks, is published and
edited by two negro clergymen, and from the
specimen we have seen, it is highly crcdi.able to
the heads of the sable Editors As might have
been expected, the paper is patronized with great
avidty by the blacks, and its general circulation
among them, if it is properly conducted, may
prove of vast utility, and tend to rear from the
dust hapless and PROSTATE race of mortals. Il
is to be apprehended, however--and that appre.
hension is based on the specimen before us-that
the Editors will make an effort to enragc the an
CRY feelings Of the blacks, towards the whites;
and if this be done their press will prove curse
to them and the public. An engine, so powerful
as is the press, is dangerous, when entrusted to
the hands Of unskilful and vindictive managers:
and it is hoped that the Editors Of Freedoms
Journal will so conduct their press, that il will
operate to conciliate the antpathies and jealous-
les, between the white and black population OF
our country,

Hon. JOHN c. WRIGHT, OF OHIo.-It has
fallen to the lot of this gentleman to hold con-
spcuous place in the eye Of the public during the
recent session Of Congress, and the manner in
which he has deported himself, has won the ad-
miraton Of all the admirers Of genius, as well as
the lovers of the country.
Mr.. Wright, if re are not grossly in error, is a
native Of Connecticut, and from a very early peri
cd till his elevation 10 the United States Con-
gress, was connected with the press. Feeling
friendly feeling" towards those who have labour-
ed in the same field with ourselves, far as the
press is connected with it, we naturally entertain
some respect and friendship for the able repre-
sentative from Ohio, and it has been heightened
since we have noticed the consequence Of his
Congressional career.
1t has been said Of Mr.. Wright, that he is a po.
ltical apostate; and this has more than once been
poured into his ears, the course of the last
sion, by those who envy him his talents, and
would, if they could, make him guilty Of political
apostacy and Inconsistency.
In the course of the debate, on Mr.. Saunders
resolutions, the author of those famous things,
denounced him as an apostate federalist, and
having advocated the Hartford Convention. Tho
charge, though Of itself of no great consequence,
Mr.. Wright successfully repelled, and put his ac-
cuser to confusion of face. So far is Mr.. Wright
from ever having any thing to do with that Con-
vention, or with advocating the policy which it is
supposed il would have adopted, he was always
oonscientiously averse to it, and with his pen
opposed it, and warmly advocated that party,
which was opposed to the doings and the congre-
cation Of the convention.
From Connec ctcut, Mr.. Wright migrated to the
interior of the State Of New-York, and in the
year 1910, in the early part Of Mr.. Madison's ad-
ministration, he was appointed to responsible
and active office, by that gentleman; and from
that day to this, he has been the firm and conss-
tent fIseS 9f yePublicans and republican usages.
Mr.. Wr& '"'s belle now resides in the vicin-
ity Of Sts.Andll,, Ohio, at which place he estab-
lished press, some twenty years ago, entitled
the Western Herald, and which, whilst it was un-
der his superintendance, was distinguished for its
ability, and for the warm and decided manner
with which it supported the several administra-
tons, which happened TO exist in the course of
that interesting period Of his Life. We are sorry
10 add, in continuation Of these remarks, that Mr..
Wright has, within the last year, suffered severe
ly from fit Of paralysis, which has affected one
arm to degree, that renders IT comparatively
useless, and left him almost blind. Aware
Of these facts, and knowing that he would not,
and could not fight, Mr.. Saunders, Of North
Carolina, challenged him to the eld Of honor :
the invitation, it Is said, caused Mr.. Wright much
inerrimsnt, and when il was handed him, he,
laughing, replied, eff must fight, will have
The privilege Of selecting my own weapons. AID
l shall choose twenty ty-four-psunder."

Of the future fate that is destined to attend
distinguished gentleman of the Pocahontas fami-
ly-the Hon. John Randolph, of Roanoke. This
descendant Of tho celebrated Indian Princess, it.
will be remembered, was, by the Legislature OF
Virginia, driven from his moorings, in the Senate
Chamber Of the United States, some short time
since; but We arc harpy TO add that lie suffered no
injury, but on the contrary, report is to be be-
leved, realised some benefit from the event. The
last accounts we have had Of him, report, tina,
since his discontinue, he has betaken himself to
"Prayer books" though it is not certain, that,
like the Duke Of Gocester, he has in view some
favoured Lady Anne" But no matter for that
John has repentod of his political sins-DoctoI
CrimP has resigned his seat in Congress, to make
room for him, and further than all this, has offered
10 let Mr.. Moore shoot at him at eight PAGES
Thus will be seen, that if tho line al descendant
OF Pocahon'as has been unmoored, between Doc.
tor Cfump, Mr.. Moore and his constituents, he
will be .Ioore-d again in the National Legisla.
ture. II is further said, on the authority of some
one Of less note than Farmer Giles, that Jack
Randolph, has renounced the political dopmas Of
Edmund Burke and Lord Castereagh, for those Of
Mr. Adams, and Mr.. Monroe-has DESTROYED b;a
Voltaire and Gbbon, and is about TO ,dopt IN.

eloquent preacher he will make, and how happ;lv

Mr.. JOHN SMIrH-Ths individual, somewhat
famous in the commercial history of Rhode-Island
some twelve or fifteen months since, in conse-
quence Of pecuniary embarassments, in which he
had become involved, whilst pursuing a very ex
tensive commercial business, fed to the Island of
Cuba, to evade the ceaseless opportunities of his
creditors. After remaining there awhile, he re-
turned to the United States, and landing at New
York, pursued his journey towards Rhode-Island,
In disguise, but being recognised in Hartford was
arrested on executions amounting TO upwards of
$4,000, and committed to prison. Since his in
carceration, he has petitioned for the benefit of
the Insovent Laws of Connecticut, and we be-
lieve failed in getting it granted. Very recently,
a desperate attempt has been made to release him
from tho prison at Hartford, but without success
Had his escape been effected, the county of Hart
ford, would have been holden responsible for the
whole amount for which Mr.. Smith was mprson-
ed.
Mr.. Smiths case, presents a strong illustration
Of the freaks and wiles of fortune and proves the
uncertainty of all human calculations. Three
years since, his credit stood as high in this section
of the country, that of most any other man, and
he was supposed to be very wealthy. To-day we
find him PROSTATE upon the world, immured within
the walls of prison. his credit lost, his fortune
expended, and himself cut of from the scenes of
usefulness.
The prncely fortune which this individual once
possessed, was mainly obtained by that most
odious Of all traffics-the traffic of human flesh
and blood; and the scenes Of barbarity and cru
city to which he has been partner and wit
ness, will not bo obhterated, even when he shal
have slumbered beneath the clod Of the valley.
Wealth acquired in this way is sometimes evanes-
cent, and the possessor too often falls victim 10
his own wild and ungovernable passions. q.

IN Council, closing the British ports against us
from the first of the ensuing December, and by
| the annunciation, for the first time, of resou-
| ton VI the British Government not to treat at all

Whatever error, If any, the present Admnstra-
ton has committed, il certainly has not been that

On the po.nt whether il is most eXpcdicnt that

that the former mode has the advantages Of GER

part Of government is at fault, that fault is to
be charged TO the Legislature. The President and
the Secretary Of State, when called upon, candid

pared to negotiate with Great Britain, as they
considered that the difficulty could be more speed

Gov. CARROLL, OF TENNEssEE.--This dis
tingulshed statesman and soldier, recently paid
visit to Pennsy ylvania, his native State; and as
sense of the high respect entertained for him. the
citizens Of Harrsburgh gave him public dinner,
which was attended by many Of the most eminent
Of the State.
The history of this distinguished individual, af-
fords happy commentary on the excellence of
our free and wise institutions, and also proves, that
in this country, genius, however obscured by the
shades of poverty, if properly directed and cult
waited, will burst through the clouds and darkness
that surround it. and by its own native energies,
elevate the possessor to the very pinnacle Of ma
tional and honourable distinction.
Gov Carroll, is a native Of Allegheny county,
Penn. and in the year 1902, then a poor and
frendless boy, without education, and without
patronage, migrated to Tennessee, in pursuit of
that good fortune which has attended him. On his
arrival in that State, he industriously devoted
himself TO the acquisition Of useful knowledge, and
by the correctness of his life and the fairness and
manliness which distinguished all his transac-
tions, secured TO himself the aid and influence of
the htuent and influential. At very early peri
cd in life, he was honoured with the confidence Of
the people, who delegated him 10 represent them
in the councils Of the Slate and nation. Cover
nor Carroll has not only shone in tie council
chamber, and the hali Of the legislature, but ON
the tented field, he has performed those deeds of
chivalry and noble daring, which will hand his
name down TO posterty, one Of tho bravest
chieiiains Of the age. At the battle of New-Or-
leans, then but twenty five years of age, he held
the commission of General, and by his military
skill, and undoubed heroism, contributed very
largely TO the consummaton ofthe victory, which
rendered the eighth Of January, 1914, immortal.
Governor Carroll, is self educated, but wri-
ter, and a scholar, he ranks among the omi-
nent and as he is aware Of the impedinients that
invariably present themselves, 10 obstruct the
passage of self taught genius, he is LIBERAL ben
efactor and patron 10 the great causes Of the sci
entes and literature. He is now about thirty
eight years Of age, and whether considered as
Mag strate, priv ate gentleman as politician,
he IS equally entitled to the respect, and good
will of all who know him. The day after the
public dinner was given him by the citizens of
Harrisburgh, the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
adopted a resolution, to present him sword for
his services and valor, at the Battle of New-Or-
leans.
