"BROXEN DOSES"

We borrow this caption from the Richmond
Wing, in further prosecution OF its design
There is nothing more certain than that, with
all their cunning, the Editors of the Enquirer
have for once overreached themselves, IN reia-
ton to the Presidential election. ], is true, they
were opposed TO Mr.. Adams during the last
contest; but il is fact, no less evident, that
they were not so much opposed 10 him as they
were to Gen. Jackson Their first choice was
Mr.. Crawford their second, Mr.. Clay; their
third Mr. Adams,. their fourth and last, Gen.
Jackson. Is il no, strange, then, that, being de-
fta,ed in their first choice, and, by the election
Of Mr.. Adams, securing their second and third
In the Cabinet, they should attempt 10 revenge
themselves by exer,ing what influence they pos
sess 10 bring in him who was their fourth and
last? They say, indeed, that they espouse the
cause Of Gen. Jackson, because, viewing the Sc
lection between him and Mr.. Adams as a choice
Of evils, they regard him as the least. How
long has it been since the General found even
this much favor in the eyes Of the Editors OF
the Enquirer? Let US see what they said OF
him, so late as October, 1924, ard ask if they
ever spoke so harshy of Mr.. Adams?

ERRoR.--In the commencement of our BIZ
ographical notice of the Hon. Rufus King,
published in our last, there was an error COM
mitted, which We hasten to correct. II was
stated that Mr.. King was born in the year
l77b, it should have been l755. The error
owes its origin to the press; il was discovered
in the proof sheet, marked for correction, but
in the hurry of business, forced upon the proof
corector at late hour, it escaped his notice.
The reader could however, make the correc-
tion himself, by ynoticing that we stated in line
or two below the error, that Mr. King entered
Harvard University in the year 1773, which
would make him student, two years before
he was born,-a circumstance that does not
often occur in these degenerate days. These
mistakes, although it must be apparent to all
that they are typographical errors, are to
us, exceedingly vexatious and Notifying; and
were we not aware, that the illberal would
gladly attribute them to our ignorance, We
should care but little about them.

BLvNpEn. In late number of the WASH
ington Messenger, conducted by Mrs. Colvin,
we find one of the most ridiculous blundcrs, we
have ever witnessed. In copying the beauti-
fdl stanzas, by r. II. Wilde, Esq Mrs. Colvin
has the following lines.
"My life is like the prints, which feet
Have left on Tempcst's dearest strand,
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
All trace will Danish from the sand"
The general reader would find it exceed
ingly difficult to understand the allusion, were
he not acquainted with Heathen Mytholo-
gy. The author Of the lines alluded to the
fabulous Valley of Tempe, in Thessaly, the
resort of the Gods, which Mrs. Colvin has
strangely transformed into Tempests, thus
giving to tempest, "desert strand" The
error, however, it is most likely originated in
the press, and we allude to It simply for the
sake of showing how much vexation our craft
are subjected to. The "descrt strand" of a
tempest, is certainly very curious kind Of a
strand, to say the least of it.

DEBATING SOCIETIES. The advantages
that grow out of Debating Societies are nume-
rous and manifold, and will be easily apprecia-
ted, by those who will take the trouble to read
the annexed extract, which we copy from
Biographical Sketch of Judge Chace, the cell
ebrated American Juris' One Of these socie-
ties was established in this town two or three
years since, by an association OF respectable
young gentlemen. 1t is now in the full tide OF
successful operation, and is composed of those
who anxiously look for advancement in life,
and are solcitous to improve those talents
which have been given to them by the ruler of
the Universe. But for the existence Of one of
these soc ctics, William Pnckney, the hero OF
the extract, might have lived and died in OBJ
scurity, and cramped his talents over a "pcs-
tie and mortar" The story here told of Mr..
Pinckney, should induce young gentlemen to
unite in a society, which is productive of SO
much good, and which in its operations, is well
calculated to produce an embellishmcnt of tall
cnts, and to introduce them to a world, where
they may be cmincntly used, to the honor OF
the possessors, and to the credit of our nation
al character.
Being in Baltimore, he (Judge Chasc) was
induced to attend, as an auditor, the meeting
of a debating club, composed chiefly OF students
and very young men. Among the speakers
there was one whose excellent style Of dclve-
nv. fine voice, and strength of argument, par
ticularly caught his a. ention. He spoke to
tho youth after the debate had closed, ana
found he was from Annapolis, and had been
placed with physician and apothecary IN Bal
tnnorc, where he compounded medicines, and
expected to receive instruction in pharlnacy and
medical pra ctce. Mr.. Chase ADVISED HIM to
study law and encouraged him to hope for sue
cess in the legal profession. Tothis the youth
replied, that he could not afford to 60 through
the preparatory course OF study, being entirely
without means, and having no dependence eA-
cent upon his own immediate exertIons. DIR.
Chase, with the sympathy of kindred genus,
felt for the friondlcss youth an instantaneous
regard, and perceiving at once the indication
of great native powers, resolved that mind so
highly gifted, should not languish in obscur'ty;
he therefore invited the young man to the pen-
etit OF his library, his Instruction, and ms table;
| and urged upon him the immediate accep'ahce
Of the offer SO earnestly, that u was promptly
| and pladly accepted, and the fortunate youth
sent his trunk by slooP, while ne went on
