CHICAGO CONVENTION.

This body met on the 9Th and adjourned
on the 9TH Its proceedings were harmo-
niously conducted. The convention sub.
mtted to their fellow-citizens and the Fed.
eral Government the following propositions
as expressing their own sentiments and
those of their constituents:
l. That the Constitution Of the United States
was framed by practical men, for practical pur-
poses declared in its preamble-"To provide for
the common defence, 10 promote the general wei
fare, and to secure the blessings Of liberty" and
was mainly designed to create a government
whose functions should be adequate to the pro.
lection Of the common interests OF all TIE States,
or two or more Of them, which could not be
maintained by the action Of the separated States
That in strict accordance with this object, the
revenues derived from commerce was surrender.
ed TO the general government, with The express
understanding that they should be applied 10 the
promotion OF those common interests.
2. That among these common interests and
objects were-1st, foreign commerce, to The reg
ulation OF which the powers Of the States sever,
ally were confessedly inadequate; and I'd, inter.
| nal trade and nav gation, wherever the concur
| renee OF two or more States was necessary 10 It's
preservation, or where the expense OF its main.
tainance should be equitaby bora by two OF
more States, and where, of course, those States
must necessarily have a voice in its regulation;
and hence resulted the constitutional grant Of
power to Congress. 10 regulate commerce with
foreign nations and among the States. !"
| 3. That being thus possessed OF both the means
and the power which were denied to the States
respectively, Congress became obligated, by eve
ry consideration OF good faith and common jus
tice, to cherish and increase both the kinds o
commerce thus committed TO its care, by expan
ding and extending The means Of conducting
them, and OF affording them those facilities an,
all that protection which the States would ind
vidually have afforded, had the revenue and al
lhority been left to them.

GEN. TAYLoR's TITLEs.-We find, on
examination, that Gen. Taylor has as many
titles as the Duke of Wellington, and they
all designate some great event in his his
tory or some striking popularity of his
mind. They have been conferred by diff.
ferent sovereigns of the United States and
foreign potentates at different times, and
when Gen. Taylor is in full dress, with their
ensignia hanging across his breast it makes
him look like plain old gentleman of the
olden times that does the people good to
look at.
Mr.. Marcy calls him-"Major General
Taylor, commanding"

Affections, Female weaknesses, dc, dc. For the
above complaints this plaster has no equal The
great celebrity which it has already acquired not
only in the old but in the new world, the extra
ordinary cures it has performed in the most en-
IRENE cases of suffering, have acquired for it such
a reputation, that the proprietor has not (until
recently been able to supply half the demand.
The sales throughout every city, town. and vii
lage in the United States are without parallel!
circumstance not surprising, when the vast
amount of human suffering relieved by its use be
considered. In spinal defects the benefit usually
is of the most decided character. In Nervous
complaints, nineteen cases out Of twenty readily
yield to the penetrating stimuld combined in this
valuable preparation.
In Rheumatism either acute or chronic the claims
of the Hebrew Plaster have long since been uni
versally acknowledged. Those who are laboring
under weak backs, no matter from what cause
the weakness may have originated, (even if such
person have been misguided in previous appli-
cations) in the use of the Hebrew Plaster they
will find the affected part suddenly restored to its
original soundness.
As q supporter in cases of constitutional ,reak-
ness it will be found of great advantage It'll
particularly recommended to Females who are
suffering from sudden weakness, or general de-
bility. In short, it embraces all the virtues which
the most scientific mind was capable of compound
ing from valuable substances found in the old
world, and will be found entirely free from those
objections which are source of complaint with
the numerous spread-plasters now before the pub
lie.
H-These plasters possess the advantage of
being put up in tight Boxes, hence, they retain
their full-rirtues in all climates.

ONCE UPON A TINE.

Sunny locks Of brightest hue
Once around my temples crew.
Laugh not, lady! for It's true;
Laugh not, LADY, for with thee
Time may deal despteful1y-
Time, il long he leads thee here,
May subdue that mirthful cheer;
Round those laughing lips and eyes,
Time may write sad histories
Deep indent that even brow,
Change those locks, so sunny now,
To as dark and dull shade,
As on mine his touch hath laid.
Lady! yes, these locks Of mine
Clustered once with golden shine,
Temples, neck, and shoulders round,
Richly gushing, il unbound,
If from band and bodkin free,
Well nigh downward to the knee;
Some there were took fond delight,
Sporting with those tresses bright,
To enring with living gold
Fingers, now beneath the mould
(Wo is meD grown icy cold.
One dear hand hath smoolhed them too
Since they lost the sunny hue,
Since their bright abundance fell
Under the destroying SPELL
One dear hand! the tenderest
Ever nurse child rocked 10 rest,
Ever wiped away its tears
Even those OF later years
From a cheek untimely hollow
Bitter drops that soon may follow,
Where's the hand will wipe away?
Hers l kissed-(Ah! dismal day,)
Pale as on the shroud it lay.
THEN, methought, youths latest CLEAN
Departed from me like dream
Still, though lost their sunny tone,
Glossy brown those tresses shone,
Here and there, in wave and ring,
Golden threads still glittering;
And from band and bodkn free,)
Still they flowed luxuriantly.
Careful days and wakeful nights,
Early trenched on young delights,
Then Of ills an endless train, q
Wasting languor, wearing pain. ~
Feverish thought that racks the brain,
Crowding all on summers prime,
Made me old before my time.
So dull, unlovely hue
Der the sunny tresses grew.
Trimmed their rich abundance too.
Not thread Of golden light.
In the sunshine glancing bright.
Now again shining streak
Gins the dusty cloud to break;
Here and there glittering thread
Lights the ringlels, dark and dead
Glittering light!-but pale and cold
Glittering lightl-but NOT OF GOLD.
Silent warning! silvery streak!
Not unneeded dost thou speak.
Not with feelings light and vain,
Not with fond, regfetlul pain,
Look on the token sent
To declare the day far spent;
Dark and troubled hath it BEEN
Sore misused! and yet between
Gracious CLEANS of peace and grace
Shining from better place.
Brighten-brighten, blessed light!
Fast approach the shades Of night
When they quite enclose me round,
May my lamp be burning found.

call principles, which seem such only when you do
not rigidy analyze them and see hoso far they are
true, and, if true, how far applicable.
Bred in the Scotch school of verbal niceties. OF
disputatiousness, which seems to have fourshed
from the time of Duns Scotus to Causation Brown,
HUME had evidently learnt to delight in the praise
of ingenuity and the merit of confounding truth by
dint of deceptive forms of words. His youthful
residence in France served doubt to confirm the
inhdel and epicurean principles which skepicism
had founded for him. Evidently, though studious
and widely informed, his knowledge was irregular,
incomplete-hat of one not animated to labor by the
love of truth, but led by vanity or interest while
his taste for bodily ease combined with his want
OF candor to limit his researches TO just as much
fact as would serve his purpose. As writer he
has the rredeemable fault of being almost entirely
without sincerity for his speculations make YOU
continually doubt whether he any more believes
in what he is sustaining than in what he is conlut
ing. As historian BRoDIE has proved upon him,
by the testimony of his own very pencil-marks in
the books of the Advocates Library, repeated in
stances Of wilful misrepresentation. AS philo-
sopher, he surely must be a very shallow or very
wicked one who could labor to pull down the re-
ligion OF his country without being able to give it
any other. Even pagan Socrates and his followers
should have taught him better than that. Finally
as politician, he offers the anomaly of being at
once the friend despotsm and rreligion-a High
Churchman in every thing but the faith con-
founded Jacobin, except that he hated popular
freedom.
II is, then, entirely for his literary merits-which
are very high-that we admire Hume. His per-
sonal history involves that Of many of the most
remarkable people of his day. and is, therefore, full
of interest
