New WAY TO CURE RHEUMAT1sM.-The Gin
cinnati Republican tells story Of man out
West, who was cured of this disease in this
way.
He had his back frequently rubbed with spir-
its of turpen,ine, without receiving much ad-
vantage from it. A few mornings since, the
servant who was rubbing him held his hand too
near the fire. the turpentine was ignited, when
feeling that his hand was quite Warm enough, he
clapped it to the back to resume the rubbing
the flame was communicated to the turpentine
there and the patient soon enyelopedin in 'ablaze.
He sprang to his feet, and hoped about with
more ease for few moments than he had done
for years He at length succeeded in extin-
gushing the fames---his back was severely
blistered, but he assures us he has felt nothing
of the rheumatism since, and he thinks he is
entirely cured.

Fruit and RYuif Trees.

Two of the best farmers within the range o
our knowledge. one resident of Coos County
and the other of Orange County, Vt. have com
municaled TO us the manner in which they Sc
cure good fruit II is this: They dig at some
distance from the body of a favorite uee-un-
til they find a root, which they cut off. The
part disjoiuted from the tree is then turned up
so as to appear above the ground 1t sends
forth shoots the first season, and bears in few
years fruit precisely like that upon the parent
tree. Let those whose trees are decaying, or
who wish to increase good varieties, try this
experiment; it is but an hours work.---N. H.

careful TO preserve the title of consul, ant
the machinery Of nominal legislature. Blu
when he assumed crown and sceptres, th'
very things which the revolution had com
batled aad cast down, he struck the axe al
the root of his power. England is governed
by republican forms. But those who &C
through them are a grasping, relentless arls
tocracy, who govern with a rod OF iron
sprinkle their palace floors with blood o
other nations, and wash them with the tear:
of compatriot paupers. Prussia is governed
by despotic forms, and is the ireest country
in Europe. The Prussians have no rights
theoretically, and yet enjoy more rights prac'
ticalIy. than any other Europeans. Forms
alone canno, ensure liberty, for the forms OF
liberty may be used as the most potent en-
gines Of despoiism.
We Americans have all the forms, and
much OF The substance, OF freedom. But
are we perfectly safel MAY not the sub
stance depart, while the forms remain! The
worst OF despoiislns IS that which is exercI-
sed under the forms of freedom: and it is The
worst, because fraud is necessary TO effect
the work of oppression. A su tan or plcha
may strike at his subjects directly; but as he
cannot see them all, none suffer excepting
those who are near, and even these are spared

Blu: an aris,ocratic legislature working through
popular opinion, and striving to support a
partial, oppressive system, must deceive and

To compass one scheme of seli-inlerest, II
must rare n complicated structure OF mlnor
mischief. In what country is legislation s"
complicated as in England! In what cnun
try are legislators elected and the work OF
legislation conducted through so much mis-
representation and falsehood! In nome
Aud why? Because the people, possessing
republican machinery, must he deceived
about It's operation; because The few, having
a partial object to accomplish, must conceal
their real design from the many, and mlsiead
Them by false professions. Having the same
forms rs England. we aIe exposed to the
same system. and when we imagine ourselves

legislation will be ;s miSchievous among us
as the English, and almost as easily accom-
plished. Whenever we legislate for partIcu-
lar interests. we create the mischief OF par

20 LITICA
From the Philadelphia "United States"
Political Lessons.

Liberty does not consist in forms. and
lr;s;"cra les my exist without exclusive
rights. A people may be practically free
under a despntrsn. and practically oppressed
under n democracy. Equal rights may ex-
ist under the forms Of aristocracy. and the
fe NAV convert the many into slaves
through the forms of democracy. Let us
contend for things, not names: and let not
names deceive lis about the wi re of things.
When Caesar ensiaved the Romans. if that
can be called reduction 10 slavery which
was a transition from the rule of a few mas
tiers to that Of one, he maintained all the an.
Gent forms. He understood the Roman
! Character. lie saw that the citizens of the
rotten state, that ierocious and profligate
aris,ocracy in the garb Of n democracy,
could think just deep enough to suppose that
liberty consisted in forms. lie knew that
they could spnrn an angel for a ruler if he
were called king, and would worship a fiend
if called a consul ora tribune. He knew
that they would submit to any outrage OF
suffering in the name Of the republic. but
would accept neither freedom nor security
from a monarchy. Hence, in establishing
his despotisms upon the ruins of that exc
cised by conscript fathers, triunvirs, dicta
tors and tribunes, he carefully preserved all
ancient forms and names. The agents O
his will were senators and %consuls and tri
Dunes, and his proclamaiions were DEGREES
of the Senate and judgments of the Roman
people. Napoleon followed his example a
first, and had he never departed from i

J THE ChTuoLIC QuEsrroY.-Much excitement
still exists in the CITY of New York and in other
parts of the State, on the subject Of the claim set
forth by the Catholics 10 a portion Of the school
fund. They insist that a share ofthis fund ought
10 be appropriated to the support of the schools
of that denomination. 1t will be recollected that
a meeting was held in Carroll Hall, and a Catho-
lie ticket for the legislature nominated. Bishop
Hughes, and others of the priesthood. addressed
the meeting and strongly recommended political
action. The returns ofthc election shcw that in
the city, a, least they have little to hope from an
appeal 10 the ballot box. The highest vote cast
for their candidate is 2.I72.
The course pursued by the Catholics i'll New
York in relation to the school fund, has called
forth severe animadvcrsions from the press in
many parts of the country. Ills a subject with
which we have no intention of meddling, and we
notice it only as We do other tens ofintelligcncc,
in which we feel no particular interest. We
will say, however, that although we are staunch
protcstants, we feel 10 sympathy in the fears of
those VINO process 10 bcilcNe tNdl 'he Nd'Noiics
are aiming at political power. Why should they
feel less attachment to our republican institutions
than any other religious denomination? They
could gain nothing by the subvcrsion Of our in
stituiions. Besides, they have ever shown them
selves as ready to defend their country as any
other class OF American citizens. Drawer, and
more patriotic soldiers than those Of Maryland
in the war of independence, never fought under
the American flag, and yeta larger portion of
them were Catholics.

the Louiville Advertiser:
"Messrs. Penn and Van Antwerp have pur-
chased the St. Louis Argus establishment, and

Missouri Reporter, which they propose publish

%tensive reputation of Mr.. Penn, will secure to
that paper a large patronage. His experience,
and his ability as a political writer are second to
none in the west, and will prove heavy capital
in the establishment of which he is about to take
charge. He has many friends here, who will
miss him, and perhaps some adversuries who will
not give over his departure; and probably would
be better satisfied if he were to 60 two or three
