ed by profession of democracy. Con-
curing reports stated, that General
Jackson had openly avowed his pre-.
dilec,ion for Mir. Van Buren, as his
successor. Such reports were certain.
Iy no good ground to proceed upon
but it was notorious, that his hopes Of
the succession rested wholly on the
Presidents supposed prediction for
him ; aud so certain was this, that PAR.
l.. would venture TO affirm, that if the
President should conceive any displea-
sure towards him, and discard him
from his confidence, Mr.. Van Buren,,
from that momeat, would no longer be
thought Of as competitor for the Pre-
sidency. Yet that prediction, so far
from being any recommendation of the
favcrite, was the strongest objection to
him. 1t was by the force OF precedent
that changes we're worked in the prin-
ciples Of Government-once allow the
preference of President TO have the
least influence in the choice of bis sue

| HoRRlD DEED.-The following para
graph narrates acts of the most atrocious
and unparalleled barbarity. Who does
not commisserate the lacerated feelings
of the unhappy parents of these murder
ed innocents?
Unparalleled Depravity.--On
Thursday evening, The oh inst. while
Doctor Bayae aud LADY, of Prince
Georges County, Md, were absent
from home, their two sons, aged Z and
5 years, were suddenly seized with vi.
olent vomiting and excessive thirst
Suspicion was Immediately entertained
by their returning parents that they
were poisoned; which was soon
strengthened by the successive deaths
of both these Innocent children. One
oflhem was dissec,ed, and the stomach,
with its contents sent to DR.. Thomas
P. Jones, Of Wa shington, who, after ap-
plying the usual tests, pronounced it to
contain two and half grains of arse
mic. Circumstances had 10 the mean
time transpired, which fixed the horrd
guilt upon female black servant only
IA years old. She was Intercepted,
and confessed the deed very readily !;
she said that she had taken the arsenic
from her masters shop, and strewed i,
over the supper of the children which
consisted OF rice and milk. She also
confessed that she was the person who,
last year, made the attempt to bum the
dwelling house down, which was on,y
frustrated by timely discovery
But, oh ! horrible to relate she further
confessed, that two years ago she also
poisoned an infant, Of Z months old,
the daughter of this much to be pitied
couple, which then died very suddenly,
without any suspicion Of poison
What renders these acts more atrocious
is, that she is one Of an excellent family
Of servants, and has kind and indu-
gent master and mistress to serve

STONE IN THE BLADDER.

Among the pamphlets on our table,
says the National Gag tie, is one Of 10
pages, en,i,led--"An account of Six
Gases of Stone in the Bladder, in which
the operation of Lithotripsy was suc-
cessfulIy performed by DR.. J. Ran
dolph, one Of the Surgeons of the Phil
adelphia Alms-House Infrmary."-
We deem this subject of SO much inter.
est for the cause Of humanity, and Of
SO much consequence to the surgical
repute Of Philadelphia, that we have
given attention to the details of all the
cases, and asked the opinion Of DR..
Physick who was present at some of the
operations. This first of American
surgeons confirms fully DR.. Randolph's
statement of his perfect success, so iha.
we think ourselves warranted 10 con.
graduating the operator on his having
achieved what should impart consol.
alory confidence to all who are con.
cerned in the safe and easy removal Of
the dreadful malady in question. Dr..
Randolph has followed The example OF
