struck the original bed Ofthe river, consisting
of blue mud, through which he bored about
Is feet, and came to stratum of gravel and
pudding stone. In this stratum his shaft was
bent, and further perfOratiOn prevented. At
! this depth, SO feet, large quantity of water
gushed out, at first muddy but cool and pal
atable. After a short time the water became
clear, and is now said to be good and whole
some.
In a second experiment, which was at the
extreme point of wharf some hundreds Of
yards from the original land. Mr.. H. bored
through the artificial soil, next through stra-
tum of mud about twenty feet, and then .hrO
a bog meadow, from which he drew up excel
lent peat. He next struck stratum of sand,
mingled with pebbles and quartz gravel. At
this point the water gushed forth plentifully,
but not pure, being impregnated with cope
ras and arsenick. The prOprietOrs and Mr..
H. being determined to proceed still deeper,
after penetrating or feet farther, Mr.. H.
struck a rineyGrd, and drew up numerous
vines, grapes. grape seeds, leaves, acorns, ha-
Eel nuts. pine 5urrs, and seeds of variety of
unknown fruits. Here Mr.. H. found spring
Of pure water. The vegetable substances
found were So feet below the bed of the river,
which will furnish an inexplicable subject of
speculation for the curious.
NOVEL ARGUMENT.-A vagrant JacksOnite
talking with a person the other day used as
an argument in favour of voting for the Hero.
that it would be motive of policy, inasmuch
AS the Hero might in case of his election, WIS.,
it his OppOsrrs with retrbutive justice for
their hostility, in a manner allied to that with
which he threatened the venerable Mr.. La
cock, of the United States Senate. Truly,
this is starting argument pregnant with fear.
Let us think OF it as we would of the burst
ing of a rocket.
A paper published in some obscure part of
Pennsylvania observed during the last cleo
ton, that if it should be necessary to the cleo
ton of General Jackson, his partsans would
turn out, and put him in at the point of the
bayonet. Another Opposition print has re-
Gently oberved, that were monarchy neces- }
sary 10 the views of the hero, after his Elec-
ton he would possibly establish it.
Now. though we do not soberly regard any
such observations with the smallest degree off
respective cannot but advert to them,to show
the diseased state of peoples minds whom
JacksOnism has made mad. But tits the man
ia,and though lucid intervals sometimes inter
vene, amidst the paroxysms of their disease,
We must expect to hear some such raving.

we should only he satisfied with his utter
destruction. A solitary stab through The heart

Let every man then plunge his digger deep in

AS pendant to this precious moroccan, the
same print furnishes the following toast drank
at late dinner in South Carolina by an indi-I

Both these samples are in the very spirit
of the most noisy and reckless of the party.
We ask no other ties: of the merits Of the pen

pious language with the temperate and argu-|
mrntati>e tone of those who support the cleo

ground, to the sound sense of our readers, 4
through them, to all our fellow citizens, We
ask them to take their stand on their con-
sciences, and we ask Of them nothing more.
On the subject of retaliating cur tariff, Bells
Weekly Messenger. of August 81, b' gins TOY
talk IN more subdued tone. In the first
place we are informed that the tariff is produ-
cling no effect upon England; and that moth
ing need be unprecedented from Amcrca,provi-
ded England adopts no Fash measures of re-
taIiatOn. 1t is now said that it is Il mark off
ignorance to censure America for her Tariff,
which is only in the spirit of that commercial
hostility which is natural in all communities.
and Of Which this country (EngIand) has set
so frequent examples in all periods Of her histo-
ry." The only concern Of EngIan is how to
stem this new policy.
