For the Courier
Although the wings find grievous grounds
for complaint, and denouncing with their
accustomed bitterness every act Of the
administration, mourn for the i'll fated
doctrines of the nation; yet they at the
Same tlpne seem ocyult at every new har-
binccr "of ruin," and hail with heartfelt
pleasure every fresh demonstration Of dis
tress. Such course Of conduct might
seem singular and truly ineXplicable, had
we not by this time become soaccustomcd
to the croakings of these storm birds, that
what once seemed strange is now but an
evidence of their unchanged nature. We
know Of nothing more truly characteris-
tic than the cxulation daily to be witness
sed among the panic makers on the re-.
ceptlon of any apparently disastrous in
telligenco CT at any high handed move
ment on the part oftheir disappointed par
tizans in opposition to the administration
the supremacy Of the Laws, and the
safety and well being of the country.
The above remarks have been drawn
forth by certain exulting editorial in
.sthc Star" of Thursday last. And why
this glcam of exultation in print protcs,
sedly American in its feelings, -endowee
with boasted love and respect for the
Laws and institutions o(the land! Wha
kindles this burst Of enthusiasm? The
prosperity Of the nation-the successful
administration Of its affairs, or the higt

JAQWHYH'S PATEN1T.
 nNHE superiority of this instrument over
 1 any thing of the kind ever offered to the public is fully proved by the testimony ofthe most experienced surgeons, and the repeated instances in.which perfect cures have been effected. We know that safety and life are ieopardized by neglecting immediate atten- tion: instance the frequent painful surgical operations in cases of Strangulated Hernia.
 This instrument is new in theory, and pro- duces the most happy practical results. Gen. tlemen and physicians who take an interest in improvements which tend to alleviate hu- man suffering are respectfully invited to ex- anime this instrument.

believe they have been issgvd in =ost Of n.
counties, either by individuals or corporations
and if not issued, have been circulated, withou,
hindrance in several counties, the subject h,,
been placed before the Grand Juries, who in

ardor and affection for which he has
ever been celebrated. There IS no
divine with whom we are acquainted
who has so patriarchial an appearance

it practice TO visit his children, rela-

MAKING BUrTER.-Every farmer
who makes his own butter will be
glad to learn how 10 make the most oil
his milk, and at the sumetime produce
an article ofgood quality. Putting a
pint of cold water during the summer
months into each pan of milk when
strained from the COW, will materially
aid those desirable objects. The mix
will not sour as quick, and the cream
will rise perfectly. The reason why
butter made in the summer becomes
rancid so soon, is owing to the lmPer-
feet mannerin which the milk, frequent.
ly soured before churning, is separated
from the butter. Retardlng the sour
ing of the milk by application OF cold
water, obviatesth difficulty. GeneSee
