THE WAY THE PEOPLE TELL 1T.

Mr.. Van Buren, has been Unfortunately lauded for
the candour and fairness with which he answered
the letters of the Shockoe Springs Committee of
Nor,h Carolina in '32, and of Mr.. Junus Aims,
of the same State in '36--and General Harrison
has been as inordnately calumniated for declining
to write electioneerng letters at the within or in
stance of every cross road committee man in the
country. Lo the commentary of the People of
North Carolina

For Saunders (Van BUREN, 2s,l3l votes
1t is thus seen that the People of the sold North
State conceded in the opinion of General Harrison.

promises, of any candidate Right!

BOnaparie's Burial Place.

The solitude of Napoleon in his exile
and his tomb, has thrown another kind
of spell over a brilliant memory. Alex
ander did not die in sight of Greece; he
disappeared amid the pomp of distant
Babylon. Bonaparte did not close his
eyes in the presence of France; he passed
away in the gorgeous horizon Of the torrid
zone. The man, who had shown him
self in such powerful reality, vanished
like dream; his life, which belonged to
history, co-operated in the poetry of his
death. lie now sleeps for ever, like a
hermit or paris, beneath a willow, i'll a
narrow valley, surrounded by steep rocks,
at the extremity of a lonely path. The
depth of the silence, which presses upon
him, can only be compared to the vast
ness of that tumult which had surrounded
him. Nations are absent; their throng
has retired. The bird Of the tropics, har-
ressed to the car of the sun, as Button
magnifcently expresses it, spending his
flight downward from the planet of light,
rest alone, for moment, over the ashes,
the weight of which has shaken the equi-
librium of the globe.
Bonaparte crossed the ocean, to repair
to his final exile, regardless of that beau
tiful sky which delighted Columbus, Vas
co de Cana, and Camoens. Stretched
upon the ships stern, he perceived not
that unknown consultations were spark
ling over his head. His powerful glance,
for the first time, encountered their rays.
What to him were stars which he had
never seen from his bivouacs, and which
had never shone over his empire! New
ertheless, not one of them has failed to
fulfil its destiny; one half of the firma-
ment spread its light over his cradle; the
other half was reserved to illuminate his
omb.-Chateaubriand.

The YcOillnnl.

There is no class of men, if times are
but tolerably good, that enjoy themselves
so much as farmers; they are little kings;
their concerns are not huddled into
corner, as those of the town radesman
are. In town many a man who turns
thousands of pounds per week is hemmed
in close by buildings, and can cut figure
at all. A narrow shop, contracted
warehouse, without an inch of room be-
sides to turn in on any hand, without a
yard, an out house, or stable, of any de-
scription, perhaps hoisted aloft up three
or four pair of dirty stairs, is all the
room the wealthy tradesman often can
bless himself with; and there, day after
day, month after month, year after year,
he is found like rat in the hole in wall,
or toad in the heart of stone or an oak
tree. The farmer would not take the
wealth of the world Oh such terms his
concerns, however small, spread them
selves out in pleasant amplitude, both to
his eye and heart; his house stands in
his own pleasant solitude, his office and
ont houses stand around extensively,
without any stubborn and limiting con-
traction; his acres stretch over hill and
vale where his Aocks and herds are fee
ding; there his laborcrs are piling; he is
the kind and sole commander there; he
lives amongst the purest air and most
delicious quiet; often whe, see those
healthy, hardy, fullgrown sois Of the soil
going out of town, / envy them the
freshness and the repose OF the sports
which they are going to. Ample old
fashioned kitchens with theh chimney
corners OF true projectings beamed and
seated construction still remaining; blaz-
ing fires in winter, shining on suspended
hams and fiitches. Guns supported on
hooks above, dogs barking on the earth
below. Cool shady parlorS in summer,
and with open windows aud odours from
garden shrubhery blowing in. Gardens

Dear Sir feel it due to YOU the inventor
of the medicine and to the public, who may be
greatly benefited by it, to state cure that was
performed in my family, by the use OF your Gar
rninative Balsan."
My little son, when about two months old, was
seized with bo,cei complaint, caused, as | sup
pose, by change of diet. 1t continued for two
weeks without interinission, and notwithstanding
the remedies prescribed by a respectable physician,
we gave up the child a victim, as we supposed to
a fatal disease, but providentially heard of
"Jaynes Carminative," as an efiectuaI cure for
bowel complaint, and Immediately despatched a
messenger to a town seventeen miles of for bot
tie. BY the use of this medicine, in less than
| thirty six hours the disease was checked; and by
its continued use for few days the child was
restored to perfect health. Shortly after this,
there occurred similar case in one Of the fami-
lies of my congregation; l prescribed "Jayne's
Carninatiye,' and the result was speedy cure.
From knowledge of the efficacy of your medl-
cine in bowel complaints, disease to which
children are constantly liable, have obtained and
keep constantly IN the house, quantity OF the
| ''Carminative."
The sane child, owing to exposure, when rec
emily coming up the Ohio, was attacked by the
horrible malady, GROUP. We landed in the
night at Beaver Point and when our fears were
alarmed lest the hoarsc sepulchral cough was the
forerunner of DEATH we gave him a teaspoon full
of the "Erpectmaat," "a bottle of which you pre-
scented me with when in Philadelphia) and applied
some neament to the throat and breast, and be-
FORE many minutes the hoarseness was gone, the
child breathed freely and slept sweetly. Owing
to these circumstances it cannot be wondered at
why have so high opinion of DIR. Jayne's
medicine, and why advise every family to keep

DR.. Jaype,-Dear SRI feel that can hardly
say enough to you in favor of AEbert's Oleagin0uS
Hair Tonic sold by you. My hair had been falling
off two years, and had become very thin threatning
speedy badness, when I commenced using this
remedy. In about one week it ceased to fall oil.
| have used it now about three months, and have
as full and thick head of hair as | can possibly
desire. have recommended its use to a number
of my friends, who all speak well oft. lffaithful-

may add that before using the Tonic, had tried
almost all the various articles employed for the
hair, such as the Macassar Oil, all the different
preparations of Bears Oil, Vegetable Hair Oil,
&c. &C. without experiencing much, if any
benefit. Respectfully yours,

Democritus, who was always laughing,
lived 100 years; Heraclitus, who never
ceased crying, only 60. Laughing then
is best, and to laugh at one another is per-
fectly justifable, since we are told that the
gods themselves, though they made us as
they pleased, cannot help laughing at us.

An Historical sketch

OF the Early American Settlements in Illinois
from 1850 to 1900. Read before the Ilinoi,
State Lyccum, at its anniversary, August 10
is32.-BY JIM. PEcx.
This period exhibited scenes of sufli.
cient Importance on these frontiers, to
claim special notice in the early history
ofIlinois. The period to which | allude,
is from 1850 to 1900. The scenes are
laid principally in what are now called
st. Clair and Monroe counties.
The military expedition of General
George Rogers Clarke, in l77s, and the
subugaton of the forts of st. Vincent,
Kaskaskia, and Fort Chartres, was the
occasion of making known the fertile
plains Of Illinois to the people Of the At
lantic States, and exciting spirit Of emf
grafton to the banks of the Mississippi.
Some who accompanied him in that ex-
petition, shortly after returned and took
possession of the conquered country.
At the period of which l speak, with
Ne exception of the old French villages
o., Kaskaskia, Cahokia, Prairie du Roch-
e. Fort Chartres, Village Cote, Prairie
ia Pont, and few families scattered
along the Wabash and Illinois rivers, the
,shoie territory within the boundaries o.
i1ois, was the abode of the mtamet
savage.
This territory appears 70 have beer
cl;imed originally by the nation of Indi
ms known to the early French explorers
by the name of ILLINl, word said to sig
nifty, full groacn man The ancien
residence Of this nation was about Greer
Bay, and they claimed the country ives
OF lake Michigan, and even west Of tn
Mississippi. Like other nations Of Indi
ans, they were divided into tribes. Fac
tribe managed its own internal affairs; bu
in more public matters they met aroun
one common council fire. They dug u
the tomahawk, to make war upon thei
neiqhbors, and smoked the calumet {

Dr. JAyyE-Dew &r.-By the blessing of God
your INDIAN EXPECTORANT has effected
a cure in me of most distressing complaint. In
December last, | was seized with great severity
by Paroxysm of Asthma; disease with which
had been afflicted Tor many years past TWAS
attended with hoarseness and soreness Of the
lungs and throat, together with 'aborious cough,
and complete prosnation Of strength, and when
almost worn out with suifocation, a bottle of your
Expectorant was sent to my house. AT first
thought it was nothing but quackery, but seeing
it so highly recommended by DR.. Going, with
whom was well acquainted, was induced to try
it, and in few days it completely cured me, nor
have ever had any return of the disease since.
have now formed so high an opinion of your
medicine, that if had but few bottles of it, and
could obtain no more, would not part with them
for len dollars each.
Yours, most respectfully,

Captain Reese discharged four balls into
the monsters spine. After much iloun-
cling, the creature foated upon his side,
and lay liieless in the bloody stream. 1t
proved to be catfish, of the kind most
commonly found in the Missouri. The
fish was towed 10 Grafton, and log chain
being passed through the gills, was there
drawn ashore by the united strength of 8
pairs of oxen. The dimensions of the
fish as taken by Captain Reese in our
presence, were as follows: Whole length
33 feet and inches; length of the head,
7 feet and IL inches; circumference, ii
feet and inch.
1t may perhaps be well for our credit
as to veracity, that this part of our state
ment can be proved by all tie men, wo-
men and children in Grafton. In conclu-
sion, we present our thanks to Captain
Reese for his courtesy in allowing the fish
to be taken ashore at our request, as well
as for his politeness and attention to oui
safety and comfort during the whole trip.
