BALDNESS.

A BEAUTIFUL head OF liar is the granuest
N ornament belonging to the human frame.
How strangely the loss of it changes the.
countenance, and prematurely brings on the
appearance of old age, which causes many to
Iecoil at being uncovered, and sometimes even
shun society to avoid the jests and sneers OF
their acquaintance the remainder OF their
lives is consequently spent in retirement. IN
short, not even the loss of property fills the
generons,thinking youth with that heavy SINK
ing gloom as does the loss of his hair. 10
avert all these unpleasant circumstances, Oh
DRIGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA stops the
hair from falling off on the first application, and

MR.. JEFFERsoN's Circular,

Extract from Mr. .eferson's Circular, addressed 10
OGce-hoiders under himself.
"The President Of the United States has seen
with dissatisfaction officers of the General Govern
ment taking, various occasions, active parts IN
the elections OF public functionaries, whether OF the
General or State Government Freedom Of election
being essential to the mutual independence OF Go
vernment, and of the different branches of the
same Government, so vitality cherished by most of
our constitutions, il is deemed improper for officers
depending the Executive of the Union, to attempt
10 control or influence the free exercise OF the cleo
tive right II is expected that no officer will attempt
to influence the votes Of other men, nor take any
part in the business of electioneering-tha being
deemed Inconsistent with the spirit Of the constiu-
ton and his duties"
GEN. JACKSON'S Inaugural Address
"The recent demonstrations of public sentiment
inscribes the list Of executive duties in characters
too legible to be overlooked, the task Of reform
which will require particularly the correction
of those ABUSES THAT HAVE BROUGHT
THE PATRONAGE OF THE FEDERAL GO
VERNMENT INTO CONFLICT WITH THE
FREEDOM OF ELECTIONS"
ATTORNEY GENERAL GRUNDY's Speech
in 1928
"When see an Office holder interfering in cleo
tions it occurs TO me that he is thinking OF his salary
and his bread and is therefore AN UNFIT AD-
WISER OF THE PEOPLE"
SENATOR BUCHANAN'S Speech in 1923.
"When a man is once appointed to office, all the
selfish passions of his nature are enlisted for the
purpose of retaining it. The Office holders the
ENLISTED SOLDIERS of that administration by
which they sustained. Their comfortable exist
ence often depends upon the reelection of their
patron. Nor does disappointment long rankle in the
hearts of the disappointed Hope is still le to them;
and bearing disappointment with patience, they
know will present new claim to Office at future
time" ".....

BANK OF THE UNITED STATES IN New
YoRx.-We learn from the New York papers
that, rooms at the corner of Wall and Hano-
YER streets, have been fitted up for the tempo
rary accommodation of this institution, (esta-
blished under the General Banking Law,) and
that it commenced business on Thursday last.
Our correspondent informs us, that the insti-
tuition will be assailed by all the ingenuity and
malice ofthe loco focos This will be most
shocking instance of ingratitude and folly for
independent ofthe banks being valuable aux
ilary to the business of that town, the party as
sailing him are actually indebted to Mr.. Biddle
for salvation from poverty and disgrace! The
Philadelphia Bank the United States helped
the Government out of its difficulties by ad-
vancing funds, and extending facilities now
actually enjoyed Yet its President is still to
be the victim ofparty prejudice, and the object
of party malice!

As collaboration, the editor displays fine taste
His selections are distinguished by great tact and
knowledge of the varied tastes Of newspaper readers
and the merchant and man Of leisure are equally
catered for. The circulation of the Commercial
must be very large and lis advertising patronage is,
lshoud think, greater than any Of its evening con-
temporaries Most Of It's permanent subscribers look
with interest for its opinions on topics which arise
and, presume, ii Yields widely extended and pow
erful influence.
Although the editor is professor Of religion, he is
no bigot In the celebrated controversy in relation
to the notorious Maria Monk. he exhibited an indie
pendence and candor which was no less commenda-
bic than rare and the public voice has pronounced
nearly unanimous verdict in favor of the propriety
and manness of his course

ton during the current year, is l3S
New York UNlvERslTY.-The article recently
penned in relation to this Institution, has had,
believe, the good effect of eliciting discussion
and exciting inquiry amongst the New York public
respecting the difficulties between the chancellor and
its professors, and its affairs generally warm con-
troversy has been kept up in the New York papers,
the whole of which has but confirmed the opinions
we before expressed #..
We see it ntmated that the old Professors have
been discharged, because they had the audacity to
express want of confidence in the chancellor A
new organization 10 have taken place and new
professors elected. Some members of the council
have resigned, and their places have been filed by
friends of the chancellor. Thus the chancellor has
triumphed and the University Of the city Of New
York, instead of fulfilling the exalted expectations
and promises of its projectors has sunk into the in
significant persohfcation of chancellor Mathews!
We fell into some errors in our first article in
gard to the pecuniary affairs of this Institution which
are corrected by shareholder" in the Journal Of
Commerce Although the original subscription, as
we stated, exceeded 100000, with all that has
been added to it. up TO the present year, the amount
actually collected is $S2 $50. We stated that the
University mortgagcd for $4,000, and had
floating debt of about $4,000 "The Committee OF
Finance" says the Isl shareholder" lin their report
June 5, 1885, state the whole debt of the University
on the LIST of May last, to have been $l705s3; Of
which $ll0 900 is secured by mortgages on the build
ing and the Individual bonds OF several Trustees
The balance, $50, 5S3, which has since been in
creased, is floating debt due in small sums to me-
chanics and others, who are urgently pressing their
claims, making the whole debt Of the University, at
| the present time more than $l75 600"

CORRESPONDENCE.
NEW YORK PRESS.

New York, Sept. %, 1885,
DEAR Sin: The COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER is one of
the most ably conducted newspapers in the Union.
VIM. L. Stone Esq., its editor, although far from be-
ing an old man, has been known for many years as
among the most piQnant and successful writers con-
nected with the daily press The Commercial Ad-
vertiser is published in the evening Its columns
never made the vehicle of private SANDER, nor will
the most fastidious moralist find aught to censure
either in its editorial or selected matter Perhaps
among all the morning and evening dailies Of the
Commercial Emporium, there scarcely be found
one, which combines in so eminent a degree, keen
relish for the satyrica and lively with high tone
of morality as the Commercial Advertiser. Its
politics are decidedly Wing, but il frequently differs
with its contemporaries of that party on matters Of
policy, nor will either threats or adulation induce it
to disguise the real sentiments of It's editor. Altho
the peculiar political enes of the Commercial may
be erroneous yet cannot but laud the independence
which refuses to bow implicitly to the dietum of par
ty As controversialist the editor of the Com
mercal is skillfu and wary, and the antagonist who
risks tilt against him without looking well TO his
appointments, will inevitably retire from the field
with modification and defeat There are few wr-
tiers connected with the press who embody vast
fund of literary, scientiica and miscellaneous in
formation or who are capable OF imparting it in so
attractive manner as the editor of the Commercial.
Its editorials are rarely Of great length.
There subjects, it is true, which, from their
importance, merit and receive more mature conside-
ration than bestowed the cphccra OF the hour.
In the discussion of such, the Commercial displays
coseness Of reasoning and aptncss of illustration,
which is rarely equaed in the columns Of diurnal.
The editor of the Commercial is an author of
established reputaton-n more dignifed an ele-
waited sphere than apperains to the discussion of
topics embraced in The fleeing paragraphs of daily
paper Independent Of several tales and sketches
which have appeared the ANIMALS and Magazines
of the day, and which are marked with rare union
of talent and reflection he is the author of elabo-
rate history Of the celebrated Indian Chief Brandt,
comprising series Of interesting occurrences con-
nectcd with the Indian wars in the valley Of the
| Mohawk and anecdotes illustrative Of the promi-
nent traits OF Indian character and manners. This
is work Of great research, and embodies in an en-
during form, scenes and incidents which would
Otherwise soon be los, id the twilight Of tradition.
| He is also the author Of graphic sketch Of the
career of Matthias, the noted imposter, whose oaare
conduct in this quarter, attracted so much attention

THE TRUE POLICY.

We commend for the consideration OF the
true hearted Democracy Of the whole coun-
try, the eloquent yindication Of their rights,
and faithful proclamation Of their wrongs, in
the address 10 The Democratic citizens Of Penn
syiUania, TO be found in our columns to-day.
II breathes the spirit Of the republican cham
pions of '76, who swore upon the altar OF
their God, undying hostility TO every species
of tyranny over the mind Of man. 1t exposes
with the energy, fearlessness, and accuracy
of truth and patriotism, the miserable practi-
ces Of the "eockney nobility" of the ruling
dynasty, and their outrageous attempts TO
abridge the most sacred liberties Of the peo-
pie.
The address, unquestionably, takes the
right ground in regard to the part to be enact
ed by the Conservative Republicans of Penn
sylvania, in the approaching all important
election. "The cause Of Mr.. Porter is,
manifestly the cause of the enemy. His
success is the success Of the sub-Treasury in
Pennsylvania" Nothing can be clearer 1t
is impossible to reconcile the determination
of some of the An,i-sub- Treasury party to
support Mr. Porter, with any sensible under
standing of consistency orpropriety. 1t is in
violation, certainly, of the rule of action which
usually governs political parties. 1t is sup
porting men merely, without any regard to
principle. What would have been thought of
a Republican Of the olden time, with all his
memorable antipathies to the doctrine Of the
federalists, who should have been seen sup
porting the federal candidates for office 3
Should we ever have achieved our indepen-
dence, if, while we resistsd oppressive mea-
sures, we had supported George the Third,
his ministry, and his provincial governors,
and continued in their hands the very pow
er that bound US We should have had to
this day, and deseryedly, all that long cata-
logue of grievances enumerated in the De-
claration, burdening our necks. And if the
Conservatives or the Wings give any aid
or comfort to the sub Treasury candidates,
they will act with the most absurd inconsis-
tency. and deserve to be visited with all the
horrors of Loco-focoism, which they will
themselves have invoked
We trust that every man who can appre-
ciate the obligations Of a citizen, and the in
terests of the country, will either vote against
the sub Treasury candidates, or vote not at
all
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-10-03

this belief is founded on ,cish in that behalf
The country" partizans Of the admlnlstra-
tion have, III repeated instances, undertaken
to prone that it was the ultimate aim Of Gen.
Jacksons policy to annihilate, totally, every
bank in the country, and have shaped their
political action to that end. This cannot be
gainsayed, for we can adduce the testimony.
We have now before us an administration
paper from Florida, expressly denounc-
ing the banks as nefarious institutions, and
invoking their determination at the hands Of
the Legislature. We are very confident that
this "hostility" has become the test of party
faith in many parts Of the country"

The CANADAs.-The news Of the resignation of
Lord Durham, stated in our last, is confirmed. The
Canada papers state that he will probably remain in
the country until his successor is appointed and shall
have arrived. Public meetings have been held in
Montreal and Quebec entreating his lordship TO
forego his determination to abdicate the governor
ship It will be, we think, the general opinion in
the United States that the resignation of Lord Dur
ham will prove great detrimen to Eng and in her
relations with the Canadas, and will no doubt tend
TO hasten the future independence of those pro-
vnces.
The Quebec Gazette says: "We can state on
competent authority that Notwithstanding it has
been thought expedient to dsaow Lord Durham's
Amnesty Ordinance, His Excellency has received
letters from Viscount Melborne and Lord Geneg
expressing in the warmest terms their appreciation Of
His Lordship's measures in the administration of
this government and discharge Of the important du
ties Of High Commissioned" I'VE.

Two children have been found shockingly man
gled and murdered in Lincoln county, Mo. A ne
gro woman is charged with the crime.
The manner Of extorting evidence in the case
from negro boy, by hanging him up, is about as
atrocious and reprehensibc as the commission OF
the murder itself If the Sheriff of Lincoln county
has revived the abomination Of the dark ages, the
extortion Of testimony by torture, he ought to be
transported tosome heather country where his barba-
rian code is less obnoxious to civilized reprobation
Perhaps however, he already lives in heather
country and is justifed-a presumption well nigh
confirmed by the recollection of other atrocities
which have occurred in that region.
