LOBELIA INFLATA.
a few icords TO the people of Middle5ury
and uicinify:

a fe,0 ,cords TO the people of Middlebury
and vicinity:
The last Peoples Press containing a
communication signed "Citizen," which
very zealously warns the public against Lo-
bella, and not only against the use of Lo-
bella, but also against the theory and prac-
tice, inculcated by Thomson, the great
father OF quacks," to use the writer's own
beautiful language. The writer moreover,
laments deeply that people will employ
these "Quacks!" 'Lobelia doctorsP'
these "empirics," who are "utterly ie-
norant Of the simpies"-to whom "the ma
lures of the commonest herbs are I'M
known" &c. &c. And "Citizen" adds
with undisguised horror, that portion
of the community will throw the lives of a
beloved wife! husband or child! into the
detestable practise of steam and Lobelia
doctor!' and assuming the tone of COM
mand, he goes on: "let there be no spicery
of this kind, in the man you choose for
your physicianl' But unkind is the wri-
ter when he says, "The people are the fos-
ter mother of this system of thingsl" How
fortunate it is, that the people have so elo-
quent writer as Citizen" to warn and in
struct theml Who can resist such an ap-
peal as thisl
Ladies! to you this discrimination is of
the utmost Importance; do not, l beseech
you, trust yourselves and offspring in the
hands of empires, if you do you may la
ment when too late, and your husbands
brought to premature mourning, and your
selves to an untimely grave" The writer
"hopes that all who read the above will be
profited, and take warning and act accord
ingly."
Seriously,-whether the writer of this,
is physician" and speaks entirely dis
interestedly, as to ''the man you choose
for physician" or some friend advertising
for custom for the Irregular physicians" /
do not much care. But should be sorry
to know that the pedantic Ignorance" of
any anonymous scribler should prejudice
the community against very useful med
icine, the discovery and use of which l
have no doubt has saved very many yaIua-
Bile lives. The writer quotes DR.. Thatcher
while Dr.. Thatcher says of himself che
knows very little about Lobelia, his infor-
nation, is principally derived from DR..
Cutler"

The fact is, it is entirely mistake, tina,
Lobelia is poison, and wish to say ,once
for all, to the citizens of Middlebury, and
to the doctors themselves, that l am ready
to have the experiment tried on myself, If
they deem it one. am perfectly willing
at any time to take strong decoction of Lo.
bella, in any quantity from teaspoonful to
pint, or in substance from to the a.
mount of 100 grains, if il will tend to sat
isfy those who may now entertain fears of
its deleterious effects. l have used it ex-
tensively in my practice of more than
twenty years, and in my humble opinion it
combines safety with efficiency.

their Chairman, that ihey had unanimously
agreed upon the nomination OF Hon. PETER
STARR of Middlebury, and Hon. HARVEY
MUNsILL of Bristol.
On motion of DR.. q. Bass, seconded BY
George Cleveland ESQ.,, the Report of tho
Committee was accepted, and their nomina.
lions adopted by the Convention.
Hon. William Slade, chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions reported the fol.
lowing:
l. Resolred, That the relation which
the governments of the States sustain 10 the
government of The Union, combined with
the magnitude of the interests, foreign and
domestic which are subject 10 its control,
necessarily involves in every State election
consideration ofihe STATE of the whole coUn-
! try, and the principles upon which the ad.
mnisira:ion Of its government is conducted;
and that, therefore, in the annual consiitu-
tiop Of our Stale government we are bound
10 Inirust our public affairs TO men who not
only understand and will MAINTAIN our ex-
elusive domestic interests, but who are
sound upon the great questions in which are
involved our interests as connected with the
whole confederacy.
2. Resolued, That the grea, revenue
power of the government of the United
States was conferred upon it, not merely 10
raise the means ofcarrying on The govern
ment but for Tie high and indispensable
purpose Of protecting by duties, even pro-
hiblory if necessary, the labor of the coun-
try against the competition Of The labor Of
foreign countries-clearly and unoenia5ly
involving the doctrine of protection for the
sake of protection and that, therefore, tho
doctrine that protection is TO be incidental
merely 10 the raising OF revenue, involves
principle which may PROSTATE every inter-
est which foreign competition, unrestrained,
can PROSTATE.
8. ResOlved, That the prese Mt tariff Of
duties ought in all its essential features, 10
be sustained /; and that the threats of repeal
which come to US strangely blended With
complaints of its inadequacy for protection,
may justly alarm the whole community and
ought 10 make US watchful as well against
the insidious Management, Of the pretended
friends, as the open assaults of, the avowed
enemies o protection.
4. Resolred, That the project of the es'
Enlistment Of tariff by treaty siipuaiious
with foreign powers. as Swallowed forth IN
the late speech of Mr.. Webster at Baltimore
is Improbable and dangerous. 1t gives
the Executive an influence over this subject
witch would swell immeasurably his already
overgrown power. II does, in fact, transfer
the power of Congress over this subjec! to
his hands, because, although il contemplaiss
the submission Of the treaties to Congress
for their sanction, yet there would not DO
wanting 10 the progress Of corruption pecu.

pie means Of securing that sanction to AZ

Grafton, and it is not perhaps going too far
to say that upon local questions, those opin.
ions should have controlling force with
him. These then are the general principles,
upon which the action of a representative
Of the people should be founded, but it may
be matter Of greater present interest TO
you to know more particularly my opinions
ON the general policy which ought TO be a.
dopted by our government, and upon the
great questions, which have for some years
been the principal themes of political dis
cussion.
The most important subject, which falls
within The proper jurisdiction of the nation.
al government, is the regulation of our for
eign relations. The States of the Amer.
can Union, it has been well said, owe their
political existence to the principle of dis.
sent and separation from the established
forms of European Government and civil
institutions, and this is especially true of
New England, whose rude climate and
comparatively barren soil were selected by
that venerable band of prosecuted English
men who first occupied them, not as has
been falsely said.because they were thought
to offer peculiar advantages for commerce
and agriculture, but with a provident sagac-
ity' which foresaw. that region less attrac-

Congress, one of the members Of the House
handed an album to Mr.. John Quincy Adams,
from lady. with request that he would favor
her with his autograph signature, with an adj
ditona line or two of his wiring. The head
of the page on which he was requested To place
his name was embellished with an engraved
vigneue, representing man weeping by the

Upon the horizons verge.

Our American boys are not well known boys; ;
they are humancul, as Carlyle would say
miniature men, dressed up en- betteS, with long
tailed coats, or smart frock coats, gloves and
canes, and too often brave in cigar smoke
Their hair, it is long and manly, their carriage
most particular erect, and to stumble against a
curb stone and roll in little clean dirt would
be calamity. Their faces are grave and
thoughtful with the throes of nascent manhood !;
their address profoundly calculating, and refec-
ting the wisdom Of the incipieul man of the
world, as if they knew sorrow, and had taken
deep, very deep glances into that wonderful
storehouse Of mysteries, which the day Of
judgment alonewill clear up--lhe human heart.
The girls How many Of them are allowed
TO give forth the impulses of their generous,
sensitive natures They too often do not kiss
their manly brothers, much less are they caress-
ed by lhem.--They are little women deep in
the mysteries of the toilet, redolent of cosmet-
les, perhaps versed in hemsttching and work
ing lace, their very dolls have had buslles, and
they, poor things, with forms cast in a mould
OF Gods own workmanship, whose every curve
and every development is beauty and lovellness
must wear busles TOO. Hardly do they darn
| their brothers. stockings, or hem his handker-
chiefs, or delight in the handy-work of making
linens.--When half grown, they are serious
sober women.-They dance, and sing, and
smile, and simper me,hodically. They walk
on stills, they dance with evident constrant
and by-and-by we expect that they will no
dance at all. We expect soon to see the little
beings with eyes fixed alone on their neighbors

ancy, the exhiliration, the joyous outbreak o.
these young creatures, whether it be in romp'
ing, or running or dancing, and whether the
dancing be to The music of their own voices, o

The Forest.

See! how the tall trees wave
Their towering limbs on high,
Borne by the breeze Of eve
They seem to touch the sky.
Within far and deep recess
A little stream glides gently by,
And farther vets dark abyss,
Unseen, unsought, by human eye.
The birds with sweetest melody
Flying from tree to tree.
Teaching their little charge to try
Their limbs, and active be.
While underneath the brush is seen
The poisonous reptile, coiling lie,
Watching, his head the twigs between,
Something that chances to pass by.
Now he comes from his hiding place,
Disturbed by some noise overhead,
But soon again he is at ease
And moves>on to another bed.
The sun now sits behind the hills,
The birds 90 10 their nests,
And now are heard the dreadful howls
Of the ferocious wild beasts.
The wolves are running through the wood,
In search of something to destroy
That they may make, it, their food,
And thus: their hunger satisfy.
Ger many rock they bound
On many flower they tread,
Until their prey they have found,
And upon his flesh they feed
The wood is very beautiful
When on a summers dav,
The flowers in their bloom are full
And every thing IS bright with joy. Y.

But pass my imperfections by"
