yameyican iSilk,--If the following from the Camden N. J.) Whig be true, it proves the necessity of the people of this country going at once deeply into the domestic ma- nufacture of silk. Where # can be done with such complete success and profit as in our country, we see TO reason why we should not be too proud 10 be dependent on the looms of Lyons or China, and become ourselves suppliers of their market. Silk. 1t may be said, is of such easy produce from the tree and worm, as to amount to self-fabricating process.
 ''It was stated in discourse recently delivered before the members of the Ameri- can Institute, that there were annually con- sumed in the United States more silk than all the wheat, corn, rye, oats, Aaxsecd, buiscuit, potatoes and hops which are ex- ported will pay forby nearly two millions of dolars!!

 General Jackson would be a bad dploul- atist in Enrope, or any where, without power. lie has but ono choral dc bafaile he rides down and breaks through every thing that other men would think of avoid ing or cifcumnavigatng. He cuts all gor- dian knots. His is no ''head to creep into crcvires.p Having made up his mind as to his aim, and trusting to his own directness of purpose, he shuts his eyes. like the monarch oi the herd, and chargcs--generalIy with success. His passions are said fo he tremendously violent; and long life has but little subducd their warmth. His par exysms are not unfrequent; and sooth to say, he has often causes; for never was man so crossed and thwarted as he has been in bis administration. His stern nprightness and singleness of mind, however, bring him generally well through. His immediate passion IS soon over; but his purpose does not evaporate with his anger; and he has shown, since he has been in power, some rather startling specimens of his inlex- iblllty. Fms extends to the desire of sery-
 pg his friends-hiac sRe laclryma--it is the only thing like breath on his justice. Immediately on his inauguration, he turned out inexorably every officer of the govern- ment, from the highest next himself, t, the sh clerks in the postoflices, and rewarded his partisans with the places. Offering no pretence oi excuse or apology however. He is quite above that. His reasons were openly ayowed; ho thought that where there was an advantage in his gift, his friends ha9 the first claim.

 THr PrYsIcTAM,-No class cr profession have better opportunities than the physl- ciap. for the close and accurate study of tHepnature of man. He sees men under all circumstances. and talks familiarity with them about all their troubles. Men conceal nothing from physician in whom they confide they unburden their whole souls to him, and entrust him with the kn0wl- edge of all those secret af1ictions which Oppress their hearts and create disease,- They tell him all their weaknesses, which they would be ashamed to acknowledge to another person who might be inclined to despise them for the confession. They do net fear, however. that by such acknowl- edgment they shall forfeit the esteem of one who is familiar with the mental as well as physical ihfrmities of human nature. Those petsOns are most apt to feel the sem liMent of contempt who are the most igno- rant of themselves and of their fellow -men. The patients confidence in his physician arises from the consideration, that he is al- ready acquainted with the weaknesses 0f all his patients. He sees the tragedy of hu- man life behind the scenes. .ie sees the ambitious nnan--who acts before the eyes 0f the world that character for which he wishes to be renowned--prostrate in mind and strength, upon the bed ofsickness, con- fessing n thousand weaknesses which he strives to conceal from his more intimate friends. The physician sees all his digni- ty land aside -all his courage vanished and the veil of dissimulation cast of, which concealed his real character from the eyes of aGndmiring world. Hence, the physi- elan is seldom An idolator of men; for it is : chiefly when tine great are reduced to alevel with the little, that he is most intimate with them.--BostOB POst. M M
