SANDs's SARsAPARILLA--lf there be a pleasure on
ear.n whlcn superior beings cannot enjoy, and one
which they might almost envy men the possession of
is the power Of relieving pain How consoling then is
the consciousness of having been the instrument of
rescung thousands from misery to those who possess
it. What an amount of suffering has been relieved,
and what still greater amount of suffering can he
prevented by the use of Sands's Sarsapariia! The
unfortunate victim ofhereditary disease, with swollen
glands, contracted sinews, and bones half cartons.

years under cutaneous and glandular disorders chro

from arrangement of the secretve organs, ana the

MIR. POLK AT HOME.

The following paragraph is from the Nashville
Banner and was published on the Oath of May.
The editor has guessed very we'll the effect of
ing but "jeers and derison" have been exhibited
here in reference to that grand affar--unless the
Locos themselves may have exhibited stronger
emotions, chagrln, and disgust. "Who," the ed
ltor asks, /" is more likely to unite such num-
Der of Democrats of the Union, as to encourage
hopes OF success in the Presidential contest than
is Mr.. Van Buren, Can James K Polk do so ?
The question would only be received with jeers
and derlson out of his own little circle"

HEADQUARTERS!

i He policy of the public in encouraging quackery
is to me speculative science, whose data is often
vague and in conclusion subject to the ylest abuse.
The of misleading the many visiters to this Me

the most of all wonderful arts physiosmomy, in hair
dressing; and if there should be failure upon the
part of the operator, reasoning minds do not in gem
eral apply the same to professors, which is within
themselves compound Of facts affections and cor.
rectness, not TO be controlled by mere coniecturng
imagination, while the multiplied relations of the
mere possessors and not the professors, are con-
stantly battling with isolated considerations Never
theless this great oversight upon their part has cor
rected an error which will be the entire overthrow
of quackery; which error the Eg,ptia,ls, who at
very early period distinguished for their knowledge
and skill in this truly dearbought talent they above
all people, appreciated perfection in all professors
similar method was practised by the Greeks:-t is
said to have been their custom, proposed or intro
Quoted by Nicholai and by Xenophon, that who ever
dare to assume that which they had not acquired by
a practical knowledge, they should be put to imme-
date death. The Romans, the headquarters of all
literature, adopted the same method. Eneas, their
great poet, subscribed his name in accordance The
language used by that great and good man is this
the inference from this conviction that quackisn,,
when encouraged by any people, is euiL is fact
undenable. Too much has been done for this sect,
and that the greatest advantage would be useful by
cleansing away the notwithstanding and adhcring
to few rational professors. That from erecting any
new superstructure upon this discordant ruin of
quackery which had already crumbled beneath the
weight Of their own unnecessary lumber.

EXPLORING Observation-Disclosures.

We have heard much of the complaints Of the
American artists, relative TO the blind partial
lty injuriously exercised towards them by the en-
bodiment Of the Committee on the embellishments
Of the Exploring Expedition. This concentration
OF power, taste, and patronage, is understood to
rest in and centre on the elder Senator from Ohio!
{" Heaven save the mark!") Among the pro-
ceedings of the House of Representatives, on Fri
day, was the presentation of petition from the
artists OF Baltimore, (and they are flowing in from
all quarters,) expressive Of their wrongs in this
respect, and demanding remedy.
As this is measure of national concernment,
wherein the people expect, after all the noise and
expense of the Exploring Expedition, that an A
merican work may be produced, doing alike JUS
tice TO the talents of the scientific corps and to
the state of the arts Of illustration in this coun.
try, we avow ourselves unwilling to remain silent
when witnessing efforts to obtain the merest need
OF justice-an open and fair competition among
the finest American artists nothing secret, un-
known, and irresponsible, should be permitted.

18th instant, was the day fixed upon for the
meeting of the Locofoco Convention for Frednr-
lex, Allegheny, and Washington, at Hagerstown,
to nominate delegate to their National Conven-
ton; but 10, and behold not a single delegate
attended from AHeghanyo Frederick, and but a
part Of the Washington county delegation were
present This faithful remnant of the once in
vincible Locofoco party proceeded, after great
deal of warm discussion, to make the nomination.,
which fell upon Daniel Bser, Esq, Cass man.

THE CONSTITUTION.

Sitting as we do, occasionally, under the drop
pings of wisdom and constitutional lore that fall
from the lips of some of the venerable sages who
sit in the House Of Representatives, and conde
scend to enlighten the world occasionally, we
have been enabled to perceive beauties and excel
encies in the sacred instrument which we never
saw before, and to admire, more and more, the
sagacity of those who framed it; and we have
felt the greatest regret that such men as Mr.
Clay, Mr.. w ebster, Mr. Van Buren,, Judge Story,
and others, whom the people have wrongly look
ed upon as possessing more than ordinary share
of experience and intelligence upon constitutional
questions, and having right understandings of
that instrument, could not enjoy the blessed OPP
portunity we have enjoyed, OF sitting at the feet
of these political Gamaliels, that they might cor
rect their false notions, unlearn what they have
learned clear out the lumber in their brains, and
fill their store-bouses of knowledge with that
which is really valuable. We had these feelings
in an eminent degree, on last Friday, while lis
tening to Mr.. McCausland and Mr.. G. w. Jones,
expatiating upon the constitution, and expound-
ing its meaning with profoundly of thought,
depth of reasoning, and manifestation Of wis
dom, which absolutely COMPOUNDED and over
whelmed us. But what surprised us more than
anything else was the fact that to all their out
pouring oflearning and wisdom, there seemed to
be the most extraordinary and unaccountable mat
tenton and Indifference Did this arise from
want of capacity on the part Of members to APP
preciate what was said t? We inferred as much,
and the thought came over US, that Burke him
self, emphatically The great philosophic states
man of his age, often spoke to deaf ears, empty
benches, or sleeping auditory, the speaker of
the House of Commons frequently being the on
ly listner, save the reporters Lest any one should
think we do not mean what we say, we hereby
declare that we are in downright, solid earnest

THE NoMINATIoN-CLEAR THE TRACK.

A rumor was in circulation in this city on Sat-
urday, that Mr.. DALLAS had declined the nomina-
ton for the Vice Presidency, rendered him by
the Locofoco Convention but we learn from the
Philadelphia papers Of the same evening that Mr.;
D. had been prevailed upon by the committee
who waited on him to accept it. So at last, they
have formed their ticket; the candidates of both
parties are now before the country, and it be-
hoves every Wing to enter the contest with spi-
rit, and firm determination TO leave nothing I'M
done which honor may dictate to ensure the sue
cess of the gallant leaders of the great Wing
party.
