shall always eschew the example which
has been set in 1886, as did that OF 1926,
in the election Of President of these Uni

rebuked with venegeance-the other
will not be forgiven by me.
Sir, in this contest one great battle only
has been fought between power and the
pc ople. The result is known. The con-
flict was not decisive, and must. as lone as
there is IN honest heart to hope for free
dom-Shall 60 on until constitutional lib
erty, law, the independence Of the people,
and their representatives, honesty, truth
and justice, are triumphant, or all are let-
tered in despot's chains! Defeated, but
not conquered; check ed by the Pr8tonial
bands Of patronage, but not arrested
their on,card march; the patriot army is
not discouraged or dismayed; smitten, but
not struck down, the lag ofthe country is
still flying! Defeat nay drive some, the
craven or the cormorant of spoils, from

The fight is not yet ended. The people

taken without further debate, and carried:

CURE FOR THE TooTH-AcHE.

Its with great pleasure we announce
to our readers, that we are in possession
of one of the greatest desiderata in the
whole materia medica. The remedy is
simple, easily procured, easily applied,
and eHectual. We do not speak unadvi-
sedly, for we have tried it upon our own
masticators, and those of our family, and
some half dozen Of our friends, and we
are therefore enabled to speak with conf
dence and safety. The receipt is as fol-
lows; take lump of unslacked lime, a.
bout the size Of hickory nut, and slake
it in two thirds or three quarters of tum-
bier of water. Hold the lime water in the
mouth, contiguous to the achingtooth, and
certain relief will ensue. We never knew
it to fail. IF the relief is not permanent,
repeat the application as often as the pain
returns, If the pain is stubborn, and re-
fuses to yield, the lime water may be
made thicker and stronger.

court that these very acts, performed in
violation Of duty, should he held to entitle
him to tho benefit Of the Statute Of limita-
tons. To us it would appear an unwar-
rantable extension Of the rule, and vio-
lation Of the natural dictates of equity, to
permit an individual who has taken pos
session Of property, as administrator, by
claiming il as his own, to destroy his
trust character, and to urge that as rea-
son why the Statute should be interposed
in his defence; asthis case then the trust
remaining connected, we are bound to
regard. it as coming within the principle
Of those cases to which the Statute does
not attach, and consequently that the plea
should have been overruled and the de-
PENDANT required to answer. Several
points were raised in the argument of
this cause and discussed with great abli-
ty, but as this depended upon the question
whether the Statute applied at all or not
it has become unnecessary to examine into
them.
The Decree of the Chancellor must be
reversed and the cause remanded.

From tie N. 0. Bulletin.

NEW ORLEANS 81 NASHVILLE RAIL ROAD
We find. from the proceedings of our
Legislature that,a joint committee have
been appointed to deliberate what should
be done in relation 10 this important work.
Our only fear is that the session will be
suffered 10 waste away before any action
/; is had, and thus all the rival works now in
progress will far outstrip us. Our maxim
is to act with decision, and if this work be
necessary for the prosperity of our
state and city, let us not shlver in the
Sind, but move in ii in manner TO insure
its prompt execution. Those who have
doubts about its paying we'll, may read
the annexed statement of tolls on the
roads and canals in Pennsylvania. Have
we not as much means to improve our
state as Pennsylvania? Have we not
more commerce and more produce to
transport Gil them? And have we mol
enterprizing citizens who are at this mo-
ment laying the foundations four pros
perity even to the manufacture OF our own
products.
But it is want Of faith in our own citi-
zens which paralysis all these efforts and
requires years to do what if seconded by |
us, would be accomplished in half the
time. Away then with doubts and with |
all petty jealousies. Let US have a full
and fair trial. The governor Tells US
that the president and directors of the
company have evinced faith in the under
taking. Their means Of information is
better than ours, and the honesty Of that
faith will not be doubted by those who
know them. But there is another and
better test. Go and see that lohich has
been done, and you then have the best
pledge of what wiH be done. But it is
time to shew what Pennsylvania has done.
ave have made up from official docu-
mems, the following statement OF The re-
ceipts for TOLLS upon the Pennsylvania
State Rail Roads and Canals. 1t presents
atruIy gratifying prospect to the friends
of our state system of internal improve
msnts. Com List.

fathers as an exposition of the delegated
and prohibited powers, into an exposition
of Me reserved powers, in the face of that
provision of the Constitution which says,
"The powers not delegated to the United
States by the Constitution nor prohibited
by it to the States, are reserved to the States
reSpectuely." Such are the absurd and
dangerous ideas entertained Of our system
of goiernment.
To arrest the downward course Of
things, he General Government should
be restrained in its usurpations, or as
symptoms of undelegated power. The
States should be awake to its encroaGh-
ments and invasions ftheir reserved pow
ers, Snd respectively check such en-
croachments or invasions. To the trying
and memorable times of '98 and '99, they
can revert and witness signal illuwra-
ton of the potency and invaluable eflica-
cy fthe assertion, and enforcement Of the
genuine State Rights doctrine. The
voice of Jefferson was echoed in the halls
ofthe Legislature of Kentucky; and Mad
ison was eloquent in favor of Virginia's
Of the Sedition act, usurpa-
ton of the General Government. A par
ty must be rallied upon the Jeffersonian
State Rights principles, which can only be
lone by discussion of those principles.
A party based upon these principles alone,
IAN overturn the present ruinous dynasty.
t is the only way to drive faction from
'mong US. We propose in few numbers,
o investigate the doctrine of State Rights,
n a plain, familiar style, easily compre-
ended by all our readers. Truth is the
eginnng and end of all enquiry.
