IMPROMPTU

itten on seeing the United States Flag flying the
House of Representatives, UNION DOWN.
Pride of the patriots heart how scurvy,
To turn thy glory topsy-turvy
The union down-the stars upset,
The rainbow tints in Chaos met,
As if the demon Dscord's hand
Were pressing our native land.
Perhaps the learned legislators
Believe the Union small potatoes"
And thus their will make plainly known,
The party up--or the Union down
Sing Hail Columbia happy landv
Ye offspring of that patriot band
Who nobly gave their blood to free
The laad from British tyranny
Throw up your caps-the nations blessed,
The rich are poor-the poor DISTRESSED,
Ruin and discord stalk about,
The public Treasury's out
Commerce is observation-disclosures falling,
And ruin marks each trade and calling;
Still are blessed with Office seekers,
Stern patriots and long winded speakers
No wonder then our flag reversed,
Its stripes, by party breezes curs'd,
Have sream'd SO often to and fro
That" which ways the wind" they want to
know

repositories have been selected the changes, any,
which have been made in them since, with the
therefor, and under what regulations and secu-
rites il is placed with them when received from loans
and Treasury notes. well from duties, lands,
and other sources; and to accompany this inlorma-
lion with list of the present repositories, and the
amount of money in each, by the past returns.

Mr.. WOODBURY. would suggest to the Senator

sury the public money was deposited with the
Receivers General and the MINIS

-THE scouRGE oF our CIV.

From every portion Of The valley Of the
Mississippi, Of which N. Orleans is the nalu-
raj depot, we receive loud complaints against
the tariff on imports and exports, lately put
in execution by our municipal councils. We

CONVENTION OF PLANTERS.

A convention, with the title above, is called to
be held on The irst Monday, 9th Of September
next, at YickshuTg, with the object Of devising
means Of freeing ourselves from the late New
Orleans Tariff: This convention, II u be directed
BY proper counsel, might be productive Of much
advantage 10 this State. We fear, however, from
the tone assumed BY portion Of it's advocates,
that an effort will be made to waive principle, for
the fallaciOus prospect Of moking Natchsz. vicks-
burg, and other river towns the rivals Of New
Orleans. Nature has said this nsvsr can Be:
therefore we must assert our constitutional rights
yield them, and all is gone.
Another scheme TO carry this project into effect,
is proposed; !. s.-lO appoint committee 10

and invite them TO come and purchase cotton di>
rectly from our own towns. Should we succeed
in this, il would be small business, as the whole
consumption Of these manufacturers does not
amount to more than $4,000 bales, while there
are $4,000 bales, for which no provision is
made.
P.S.-Since writing the above, we have been
requested TO state that meeting Of the citizens
Of Wilkinson county will take place at the Count
house; in WOodvie, on Tuesday, the SOth inst,

A MAGNETlZED PIC.

The editor Of the Kennebec Journal
keeps a pig, which in his opinion, is re-
markable and thriving one. One Of his
singular properties is thus described
by the observing editor. Such
pig would be treasure in the Muse
um:
"Since we heard DR.. Collyer, we have
made an experiment upon our pig, and
lind that Notwithstanding he is by no
means of a nervous temperament, but
rather lymphatic, yet he can be easily
magnetized. The experiment was tried
by scratching his back with stick. In
ten seconds the msgnetict fluid began to
operate upon him, as was eveldent by his
closing his eyes and grunting audibly,
while his slender tail cured in very
peculiar way. In ten seconds more he
showed an evident inclination to repose
! by bending down his back, and in two
minutes more he was reclining on the
floor of his pen in perfect somnambu-
| lie condition. To all the questions put
to him he invariably responded "ugh,
which might be translated to mean any
thing. The stupor lasted just so long as
the scratching was continued, differing
in this respect from the subjects Of
DR.. ColIyer, who can only be walked by
back handed manipulation, like un
winding a ball Of yarn after having
wound it up.
Those who wish to see the expert
/. ment tried will be good enough to cal
soon, as there is no knowing how
soon the susceptibility to magnetic actor
NAV be lost; or if it should increase BY
practice, as is said TO be true of the
j Doctors subjects, we shall be constrained
to discontinue the experiments, lest TIT
pork should become too highly magne
! tized.
, P. S. No experiments have been mad
} in clairvoya nce."
In answer to the above, DR.. Coliye
: has written a letter. in which he state
r that sis primary law of the science Q
Animal Mag netism, that there should b
3 an affinity or high state of sympath
4 between the magnetism and the magne
3 tized, and that taking this fact into cor
I sideration, no one can doubt the state
r ment of the editor Of the Journal" W
] take no part in this ''keen encounter
n wits" only to say that those who band
Y jokes with the Doctor must lay in goo
d supply of ammunition.
