TO A DISCERNING PUBLIC.

REPRESENTATION is an inhcI ent princi-
- pie firmly seated in the heart OF man. He
alights upon the shores Of Time the most helpless
of all Gods creatures, but Reason
her standard he sees. and thinks, and encircles
himself with objects Of protection; being endowed
with that most noble intellect which distinguishes
him the head Of all. BY his power mountains
are levelled, rivers turned from their course,
the land is bound with iron-bound tracks, enabling
him to fly, as il were, with the wings of the wind;
the ocean sparkes beneath his feet as the gallant
ship speeds to some distant shore. But with
all this delegated wisdom man is helpless still;
the green foliage of nature is destroyed by the
tumnal frosts, so are men cut down by the hand of
disease. 1t walks abroad and cannot stay its
progress; men fall by the waysde, and others
mourn their loss. But as the history OF mankind
evinces gradual improvement, who will say that
suffering and pain is to accompany us in all our
walks Of life Among the many and important
discoveries Of this generation is one recently an

Messrs Sands-Cent: In the cholera summer OF

tongue was scariiied, frequently cauterized, slit

the only cure would be To cut my tongue of at the
