Dreams can be produced by whispering in

most curious as well as Authentic examples of
this kind has been referred to by several wri-

Gregory, and they were related to him by a
gentleman who witnessed them. The subject
Of it was an officer in the expedition to Louis
burg, 1853, who had this popularity in so re-
markable degree, that his companions in the
transport were in the habit Of amusing ;hom-
selves at his expense. They could produce in
| him any kind Oft dream, by whispering into
his ear, especially ifthis was done by friend,
with whose voice he was familiar. At one time
they conducted him through the whole progress
Of a quarrel, which ended in duel; and whom
the parties were supposed to be met, pistol
was put INTO his hand, which he fired and was
awakened by the report On another occasion
they found him asleep on the top ola locker or
bumper in the cabin, when they made HIM be.
lieye he had fallen overheard, and exhorted him
TO save himselfby swimming. They then told
him that a shark was pursuing him, and en-
treated him TO dive for his life. He instantly
did SO, with such force as to throw himself en-
tirely from the locker upon the cabin floor, by
which he was much bruised, and awakened Of
course.
After the landing Of the army at Louisburg,
HIS friends found him asleep in his tent, much
annoyed by the cannonadng. They then made
him believe that he was engaged, when he ex-
pressed great fear, and showed an evident dis
position to run away. Against this they remon-
strated, but at the same time they increased his
Tears by initiating the groans Of the wounded
and dVino. and when asked ms he ofian did who
was down, they named his particular friends.
AT last they told him that the man next himself
IN the line had fallen, when he instantly sprung

PROSPECTUS
FOR THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
A4B&RI''Y ADVOCATE,
JAMES NJ. SMILEY, Editor.


Notwithstanding the unparalleled pressure,
which for the last twelve months. has crampcd
and trammelled every depart ment of the Me-
chanica, Agricultural and Commercial com.
munlty, the unwearied and interchangeable ener.
gies OF American enterprise, are once more
giving evidenceof higher and fairer prospect
oetoreus. That quiescont attribute, which, for
time, seemed to mark and designate our
downward proclivity to carelessness and indif-
terence, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially disinthralled
rom the fatal influence of too blind credu
lty IN the infallibility of those whom we have
elevated above US, may we not still indulge the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, a hap.
Ipy result in the experiment of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstgated, in part, by that grand revolution
which has already commenced, and which is
still going on in the opinion of the people, SO
lar as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the FEEDER
al Government, the present Proprietor is about
TO embark in the publication of the Liberty
Advocate.
Two years ago, this journal dated its origin,
at period when, in this County, 1t had many
difficulties to encounter, and the strongest OPP
position to contend with. The enduring, and,
as we conceive, orthodox principles which
nave nurtured and sustained the journal through
good and through evil report" had then in
the'r infancy; but mere minority which sus-
tanned IT. But, the rcsistless march Of human
reason, before whose advance all obstacles
must ultimately recede, has brought about
brighter and a fairer dawn; and the philan-
thropist and the patriot can now look in pro-
spective upon the revisit of those purer days,
which once pointed to the destmy Of our much
beloved country.
The political creed Of the Advocate will DO
the same which it has heretofore advocated
State Rights and State Sovereignty, will be tho
artcrial action which shall give life and amin
alton to its political character.-But, while ex'
orcsing a tenocity for those principles which
will never yield to caprice, the columns of this
ournal will, at all times, be open to liberal
and offered as ready channel to the
.lde oil passing events, and an acceptable organ
d general science and useful knowledge
We cordially invite the patronage ofall those
who concur with us in sentiment, aswelIas the
nagnanimity Of those who dissent from US in 4
politics, to cooperate in sustaining tho press
Tho Advocate will in future appear, under tho
Editorial supervision ofJAMEs M. SMILEY, ESQ.,
and published on the same terms Of the for
ner numbers, by A. w. FORSYTHE.

it was finished, his customer, upon learning his
terms, took himsefaway, and neither returned

A singular fact has often been observed IN
dreams which are excited by noise, namely,
that he same sound awakens the person, ana

example Of this has been repeated to me; a
gentleman dreamed that he had enlisted as
soldier, joined his regiment, deserted, was APP

shot, and at last carried out for execution. al.
ter all the usual preparations, gun was fired,
he awoke with the report, and found that noise
in the adjoining room had produced both the
dream and awakened him. The same want Of
the notion oftime is observed in dreams from
other causes.
DR.. Gregory mentions gentleman who, al
ter sleeping in damp place, for long
time liable TO suflocaton whenever he slept IN

FREEMEN OF VERMONT,

The time is fast approaching when free
men will be called upon TO elect officers,
who are to fill the highest stations within
their gut Tor the ensuing year. If the State
OF Vermont cannot boast of numerical
strength at the ballot box--shc may never
ihcless. pride hcrselfupon her political mo-
raliiy-and feel Justly entitled to all the re-
spect, which purity of purpose, and patriot
&c etioIts, must, and will confer upon her
citizens. 1t is worthy of remark, that
while most of the other States in our Con-
iederacy, have been under the direction Of
political supervisors Vermont has remain
ed untrameled of that party discipline, which
has forced upon the people of the United
States a long catalogue of evils which the
future historian will atiix as blot upon our
National Character.
The time has arrived, when the dictates
OF reason ought to control the people with
respect 10 their political interest. lfabuscs
OF powcr-if a wanton expenditure of the
public treasure,-if a blind devotion to
party principles are hurtlul and dangerous
to our republican institutions, enough has
been seen within the last ten years, TO con-
vince even the warmest paItizan, that n
change IN the affairs of the General Gov
crnment is necessary TO secure the welfare
of our country
II is duty, which is inseparabIy connec-
ted with our political existence, that we o.
hey the calls of the ballot box This is our
only principle of safety against profigacy
and corruption 1t is the modus operandi by
which the Wings Of this State have hitherto
said TO their opponents thus far shalt thou
go and no farther Your politics are not
congenIal TO those pure principles of devo-
ton, which viii lead us 10 exclaim.
Where Liberty dvells there is my country"
We hope the pecuniary interests Of our
citizens wall not absorb the public good.
without some personal sacrifices our patr-
otism will avail us nothing in the hour OF
danger-and we again repeat TO our Wing
friends, Forget moi The BaIlo, Box.
II perseverance is great moral virtue.
lei Us make II political one let US strive
TO initiate the founders of our nahts and

sion. When General Washington, with his

pinned enemies of his country, some Of his
