Washington and Jefferson.

Washington was not a man of the new
era. In no sense was he the representative
Of the revolution which he was the military
chief. Jefferson was its master mind, far as
he was from possessing those practical quail
tiles which would have fitted him for the
great task performed by Washington, of
guiding it to success through all the diff
cules that encompassed its strggle for exist
encc. With divine prophetic gift ofgenius.hs
understood the Revolution and had glimpse
fac down the vista of its future. Of the yet
unknown glory and greatness of humanity
to which it was to lead. Jefferson was in ad-
vance of his day: Washington was just up to
the line, wonderfully as he there lowered o.
yer the men who encompssed him;and there
fore was the latter was the nan to do the work
of the day both TO see the thing TO be done
and to understand the exact practical way
how to do it. The times were not yet ripe
for the realization Of the Democracy of Jef-
ferson: He could only plant the seeds OF its
great ideas; and though they met with an
apparent universal, as il was an enthusiastic
assent as they were embodied in the Dec

texture of the habits Of opinion and feeling
of the age. Nor is itindeed yet much more.

lNG.D

We find in many Of the proceedings of
the Whigs,s since they became In power,and
in the language of their messages, resolu.
tions, and other official papers,a disposition
very extensively manifesling itself, to as
sumo the phraseology, the modes of man
agement and even the principles of the par
ty which the country has SO decidedly con-
demned. Je6ersonism and Democracy are
continually complimented, and modes of
action, suited on,y 10 impose upon the g-
norant, or crafty the vulgar, are adopted.
This phraseoogy and these practices seem
to have been received by the dominant par
ty from the defea,ed one, as a sort Of inner
tance-an inglorious mantle which has been
heretofore the cloak for all iniquily, and
which seems TO be now strangely assumed
by those who have been called to power
expressly TO expose and punish the very
iniquity which i, has covered That the
bad should sometimes assume the garb and
phraseology of the good is not surprising;
but in this case, the sheep seem TO be most
uuaccountablypulting on the ,ooJ' s clothing,
Are there or not, Mr.. Editor, any real
Wing principles that are capable of being
openly and honestly expressed, and made
to appear just and equitable in their nature,
and saiu,ary in their operation Or are
Wing principles nothing but Democracy,
Locotocoism and Jehersonism, after all?--
If the country has made great mistake,
and it is destined 10 meet with great dis
| appointment. Ii has aroused itself to an
extraordinary effort TO cast out one set OF
men. supposing that in rejecting the men
they were rejecting their principles too
II would seem, therefore, that it is not only
the duty of the Wings, but, under the cir.
cumstances of the case, their true policy. 10
take the ground to which the country had
called them, IN their oaCn name. to use
their own language, and adopt their own
modes of action, and TO express their own
principles in an open, manly and dignihet
manner, and not to attempt to gain lniser
able popularity with the noisy and unprin
ciped portions Of society, by adopting The
political cant of their condemned predeces
sors."
The Courier should remember that hy
, pocricy is the homage that bad men pay Il
. virtue. Dissenbling Christians, who hat,
religion in their hearts, in putting on III,
, disguise of san tity, bear The strongest pos
r sibe testimony TO its value in the eyes O
the world. So the Federal leaders show

regard to your pills am firmly persuaded that
they deserve far more praise than you seem in
clined to give them. Six months ago they were
scarcely known here, and yet at present there IS
no other medicine that can compare with them IN
popularity. In Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, de-
rangement of the Bliary organs, anG obstinate

siderable experience in all these complaints

KzarrisOn's Specific Ointment.

The great celebrity of this unrivalled Compost
tion-especislly in the Northern States--leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in
its favor; for it has been generally conceded to it,
that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy
for external complaints that has ever been discov-
cred Indeed the speed and certainty Of Its oper-
ations have the appearance of miracles as ulcers,
wounds, Germs, fever Sores chilblsins, white swell
hncs, biles. piles, spider and snake bites &c
Immediately weld to its apparently super human
influence. Thus if properly applied it will remove
an nveterate corn CT break and heal bile in five
DAYS. will aIlav and perfectly cure an ulcer in two
weeks aud the most desperate cases of white
swelling that can be imagined, have been destroyed
by it in less than two months. In the bites of
poisonous reptiles its efficacy is truly surprising;
ard even in the bite Of rabd dog, for if applied
in time, It's powers of attraction are so wonderful
that they Will at once arrest the poison and thus
prevent it from pervading the system. 1t is like
wise greatly superior 10 any medicine heretofore
discovered for the chafed backs and limbs Of horses
for letters, ring worms, chapped lps,-and in
short for every external bodily evil that may fall
TO the lot OF man or beast.
The proprietor has received at least thousand
certificates and other documents, in favor of his
." Specific Ointment" upwards hundred of which
were written by respectable members of the Med
ical Faculty and in selecting from this pile the
following san pies, he was governed more by their
brevitY than their contents they all breath the
same spirit OF eulogy and satisfaction.

Stagnation of the Blood.

becomes stagnant and is plunged into state OF
corruption.
Thus it losns its purity: its circulation IS impe-

come coStiUc, and if not an immediate attack OF
some malignant fever, headache, nausea, loss OF
appetite. and general debility of the whole frame

1t requires the tempest and the tornado 10 bring
about state Of purity in the ocean, when IT'S wa

ed evacuation by the stomach and bowels before
the blood can be relieved OF its accumulated im-
purity.

pleasure of announcing 20 the public, and par
ticularly to the friends of education, that they
have engaged IRA B. NEWMAN, as Superinten-
dent and Principal of their Academy.
The Trustees invite the attention Of parents
and guardians, who have children to send from
home, to this Institution. They are fitting up
the building in the first style, and its location
from its retired nature is peculiarly favorable
for boarding school, 1t commands beauti-
full view of the Delaware river near which it
is situated, and the surrounding scenery such
as the lover of nature will admire-it is easily
accessible the Easton and Milford Stages pass
it daily, and only miles distant from the latter
place, and more salubrious section of coun-
try can nowhere be found. No fears need be
entertained that pupils will contract pernicious
habits, or be seduced into vicious company---it
is removed from all places of resort and those
inducements to neglect their studies that are
furnished in large towns and villages.
Board can be obtained very low and near the
Academy. Mr.. Daniel w. Dingman, jr will
take several boarders, his house is very conve-
nient, and students will there be under the i'm
mediate care of the Principal, whose reputa-
ton, department and guardianship over his pu-
pills, afford the best security for their proper
conduct, that the Trustees can give or parents
and guardians demand.
The course of instruction will be thorough
adapted to the age of the pupil and the time
ne designs to spend in literary pursuits. Young
men may qualify themselves for entering upon
the study of the learned professions or for an
advanced stand at College for mercantile pur-
suits, for teaching or the business of common
life, useful will be preferred to ornamental stud
les, nevertheless so much of the latter attended
to as the advanced stages of the pupils educa-
ton will admit. The male and female depart
ment will be under the immediate superintend-
dence of the Principal, aided by a competent
male or female Assistant. Lessons in music
will be given to young ladies on the Piano
