Mr.. No Lane The first rualor of the successful
termination of the late Convention, negotiated by
tins gent was accompanied by demand from
England fer on increase of compensat ion-and hints
to the same purPort, have been thrown on, by that
letter writer, who disclosing incidents which occur
red in private conference between Mr. McLane aud
Lord Aberdeen thus gives color IF authority to the
suspicion, that the Minister either actually wrote
those pntfs himself procured them to be written.
The London correspondent of the Journal of Com.
MERGE also takes up the subject. He says:

the salary with he outf' NAV enable him oieraby

United States only wan tn have such mistakes point

It is not wonderful perhaps. though as has been
we'll observed, it is invariably true, that these di~cov-

in the Georgia resolutions are not in bost,Iitv win
me powers OF the federal government and her con
SnntiHnai dhes The Supreme Court has an I'M
questionable right to issue writ OF error To Il State
court IN criminal case; but IT, notwithstanding
she does MOI thereby violate the Constitution or laws
OF the Union; nor does she so BY refusing or ne
g'ectng to appear or the citation. When however,
she d'scianis the jurisdiction of the Supremc Court
over tie Judgments of her criminal courts. she as
seTts an exemption from he federal power, which
does not belong her. The doctrines she hrlds
are unconstitutional bur in this case they cannot
bring her into collision with the authority Of the u

THE TOMB CONTAINS PRrpE.-'When
I look says Addison, upon the tombs OF
the great, every motion of envy dies with
in me. When i read the epitaph Of the
beautiful, every inordinate desire goes
out. When meet with the grief OF pa
rents upon tombstone, my heart melts
with compassion. When see the tombs
ofparents themselves, consider the van
ity Of grieving for those who must quickly
follow. When see kings lying by those
who deposed them-when | consider RI
val wits placed side by side, or the holy
men that divided the world by their con-
tests and disputes, reflect with sorrow
and astonishment on the little competl-
tions and debates of mankind. When /
read the several dates of the tomb-of
some that died yesterday, and some six
hundred years ago, ! consider that gre at
day when we shall all of US be cotempo-
raries, and make our appearance togeth-
er.

ITNIiIS is unquestionably the best and safest
- remedy ever yet offered to the public, for
that obstinate disorder the Salt Rheum. Where
every other mean. have failed, it has succeeded,
and the fact that it has been extensively used by
eminent practitioners, speaks volumes in its praise.
II is equally ecacious in all diseases Of the skin,
scald head, inveterate Itch, ringworns, &c, &c.
Numerous certificates might he obtained, but

The friends that love me are not here!
