of the proud temple of North American freedom. Already are the Scribblers un- der the regal governments of Europe, from the provincial chroniclers on our own bor- ders, to those of greater might at home ,dri- wing their quills at our expense. Even Mir. Atkinson, in the able political pamphlet which we are reviewing, cannot suppress the delight with which his bosom is thrilled in the anticipation that the time is not dis tant, with our black population, our slave ry and our hatred of England, we shall be blown into thousand factions, and sever ed into thousand parcels. And although we hope there can be no substantial grounds for these anticipations of our malicious foes, yet, is it creditable for us to allow them even the slightest foundation for their sneers Do we not, in fact, contribute materially to strengthen the cause of des- potism abroad, by the disreputable con- duct of our brawling demagogues at home
 When the turbulent Gov. Troup issues his combustible and rebellious bulletins to the public and when his militia Generals, in imitation of their fiery chief, order their scattered regiments to 'stand by their arms" in opposition to the constituted au- thorities of the nation, our transatlantic maligners have not the means of know ing but, that the redoubtable chieftain is actually as powerful, and as terrible, as he believes himself to be-. And when the Virginians toast the "dagger of Brutus,' and talk of civil war, blood, and dissolu- ton of the union, and threaten us with all the countless horrors of revolution, be- cause they cannot always have the making of President themselves, it is but natural that the enemies of our republic should believe them in earnest nor are we quite sure that many of them are not. It is to be feared there are men high in the ranks of the opposition, who, if no other means were left for the accomplishment of their ambitious designs, would not hesitate mo- ment to unsheath the sword, and light up the torch of that most dreadful of all calan,- ities, civil war.-N.

 An amendment was adopted providing for the alteration, amendment, and a repeal of the act, at the pleasure of the General Assem- bly.-And a motion was made to amend the bill further, by striking ont the 10th section, which exempts the property of the Corpora ton from taxation.

A man afflicted with disease of the lungs, ofsome standing, applied to one of the high pressure fraternity, alias {" Thompson Doctors," for relief.-The physician, to restore order between the two contending principles which seem to be at the bottom of all the sqabbles, with. in us, viz. internal and external heat, anc give the due preponderance to the former determined that his patient should inhale the fumes of burning sulphur.-This, by the bye, we hold to be an improvement, even of patent dOctering" and one that is original with our modern Esculapius. We would suggest, however, the more direct method of thrusting the lighted birthstone match down the invalid's neck for then we should more directly come into the aid of the said internal heat-reinforcing and enabling it to overcome its wicked adyer- sary. The sick man's relations assembled to witness. and assist in the application oi the remedy. The patieut was seated on the floor, the sulphur was ignited-a bed covering thrown over him and four stout men selected to hold it there given num- Der of minutes; the patients struggling (for he could not squeaD to tho contary notwithstanding But his wife seeing her ''better half'' kicking so lustily, and man. ifesting SO much dissatisfaction with his sit- uation, began at once to apply both her tongue and hands to his rescue-by which means she saved his life but prevented the cure of his malady, to the no small re- gret of the Doctor and the perfect ap- probation of the sufferer who as soon as he could speak, declared he would rather have the asthma than be cured in tn at manner;' and dobtless had in his minds eye an improvement of Shakespeare, thus 'sThrow birthstone to the dogs.I' none of it!'
