Cure for the consumption. MIR L. F. War
rem, Of New York, suggests that consumption
may be cured by surgery. In cases where on
ly one lung is affected, he proposes to make an
incision in the side, thus letting in the air 10
collapse the diseased lung, put it at rest, and
afford the liberated parts chance 10 heal. II
this does not succeed, he says the diseased
lung may be reno, ed, and the patient live with
one lung. From these hints surgeons can de-
iermine whether the proposition is worth trial
or investigation.

lEJsSume Of the Bentonians are not yet sick
Of this golden age of golden promises to the eur
and bankruptcy in the pocket. Will they
please to remember that in the frs. place we
things happen: until every state voluntarily
ceases TO permit, and absolutely prohibits, the
circulation Of apcr OF every kind, whether bas-
ed upon the credit OF individuals or of corpora .
tions-or until we have that thing abomna,ed
by all true democrats, one consolidated, sup
RENE and arbitrary national government. Will
they also please 10 remember tina: not less than
four hundred millions Of currency, of eircuiat-
ing medium of some sort, are required for the
business OF the country-and tell the people
how ard where this immense sum is 10 be OBJ
tanned, and how it is to be kept in circulation
Bearing in mind also that the annual loss Of
the precious metals is about per cent, being
loss Of "a millions every year on the amount
necessary to supply the nation with gold cur.
rency-will they be SO kind as TO tell US how
this immense loss can be annually made up
1t is not wild to suppose that, had the countr,
at this moment a gold currency. the whole
power Of the government could not keep i
good for in addition to Inc loss at home, Their,
would be constant current going abroad.

are at this moment in better credit abroad than
any banks in the Union? Do they not remem-

ception, made last fall by Mr. Pettbone--a man
after their own heart? Do they not know that

lower depth of distress7 At least, we exhort
the Patriot tc look back a few weeks TO its

upon the duty Of allaying public fears and pro-
noting public confidence, was not all hypoc.
risy, let it desist from these attacks. If, how
ever, these papers choose TO 60 on, let them
do it: let them destroy the confidence in oul

Intemperancc. Ifyou change a quarter Of n
dollar TO pay for glass, you receive three tick

When the PEOPLE call, they MUST DE HEARD.
The freemen of Washington coun-
ty, who love liberty better than office,
and regard principles more than names,
who are in favor of thorough and
radical reform in the administration
of the general government, and arc
resolved to perserere until they obtain
it--who dare resist usurpation, OPP
preston and tyrrany, from any and
every source-are respectfully not
fled and invited to meet in county
convention, at the court house in
Montpelier, on Thursday, the 22d
day Of June inst, at IL o'clock, A.
NJ, for the purpose Of nominating
suitable candidates for Senators for
said county, to be supported at the
next election-also to take into con-
sideration such other matters of po-
litical nature as the present unparal-
lelled state Of our country seems i'm
periously to require.
To attempt to urge upon you, fell
low citizens, considerations which
ought to induce general and pune
tua attendance upon the proposed
convention, would imply on our part
a doubt Of your sagacity, your patri-
otism, and your attachment to the
constitution Of your country. Suf-
flee it for us to say, that self preserUa-
ton is the first law Of Mature. When
therefore ruin stalks abroad-when
by destructive and infatuated policy
the government becomes the oppres-
sor Of the citizen-when the spirit OF
the constitution is trampled under
foot-when the freedom of speech
and the press is assailed, and the last
hope of expiring liberty extinguished.
by a Veto in advance-need there be
a louder call upon Freemen to come
forward s'to the rescue % We trust
these considerations will induce eve.
ny man to turn out and embrace the
occasion by united effort to demand
the only remedy for the present dis
eases of the body polite, thorough
amt complete reform.
HThe town committees, appoin
ted for the last Presidential election
are particularly invited to attend.

Early Ssstntng. Mr. Benton has published a
letter in which he says he is in favor of the re-
election Of Mr. Van Buren,. We guess he may
get in as bad box by this early committal, as

against an extra session. What will he say

by public opinion 10 assent 10 their immolationi

premium; the specie buys the land, goes TO
the receivers Office, and from thence immcdl
atey back TO the vaults Of the pete, TO be sold
again for anOther premium, aud TO buy another
lot Of land! What speculation is this-upon
the public money, and for the benefit Of the
pets, which shave the premium out Of the peo-

o, atthe dewy eve,
How sweet to wander, silent and alone
The busy throng to leave,
With all the cares that weave
Theirfstters DER us; then the pcasurcsgone,
Far, distant far, as the dim twinkling ray
That in the untraced ether holds its sway,
Come, the sad heart to cheer,
And commune sweet we hold
With brightest thoughts untold,
And dream of all or souls have long held dear.
How pleasant then to rove,
Unknown, unthought Of, by the gay aud proud,-
With the dear one we love,
When at affecnon'sshrine our, hearts have bowed
And all else is forgot.
When whispered wtyds are thrilling in our ear,
And divisions bright, earth's rugged pathway cheer
Saying. love changes not
0, blessed hour Of truth and purity
How oft the stricken spirit turns to thee,
Forgetting all It's misery and pain,
And fondy dreaming DER its earthly joys again
