Wing Patriotism.

The federal organ at Columbus-the
State Journal--in speaking Of the bat
lie Of Buena Vista, asks this question:
"Did Mr.. Polk intend that Santa Anna
should gain the victory?" The journal,
however, very p~rudentIy refrains from
giving an answer to this question; but
would, no doubt, be very glad if he
could Get the people to believe his I'm.
founded and unwarrantsd insinuation.
Every man conversant with tho legis-
laticn Of last winter, knows that Presi.
dent Polk used every mean within his
power, to induce Congress 10 pass the
Ten Regiment Bill, and other laws ne
cessmy to a vigorous prosecution oil
the war, at the commencement Of the
Session, so that the new troops could
be at the scene Of action ia Mexico,
early in the winter. But like the fed.
e~ralists of the late war, the whig mem-
bers used every exertion, by means Of
long speeches in abuse of the President,
and senseless amendments, in order TO
procrastinate and embarrass the action
Of the administration, and thereby pre-.
vented the passage Of any laws, for the
relief Of Gen. Taylor, until near the
close of the Session. AS a fair set-off
TO the interroga,ive Of the Journal, this
question might be asked, and answered
in the affirmative: Did the wings of the
last Congress intend that Gen. Taylor
should be defeated?

States. But she has already ccom-
plished much in this respect, and when
her projected works are completed,
she will not stand far behind any other
State in the Union, in point Of inter-
nal Improvements. The two longest
Canals are the "Ohio State" and the
"Wabash and Erie," the former of
which is something Y three hundred
miles in length, and the latter upwards
of two hundred. Among the projec-
ted Railroads, the one connecting Gin
cinnatti and Lake Erie, at Sandusky
City, will soon be completed. There
are many good ,urnpikes in the State,
and the great National Road-one OF
the noblest thoroughfares in the world
runs nearly through its centre.
But we are proudest of the stand
which Ohio has taken in her benevo-
lent institutions, and in the cause Of
learning. Her Asylums are among
the largest and the best conducted in
stitutions Of the kind in the world; and
no other State has done more in the
sans length Of time for the diffusion Of
knowledge. She already has ten or
twelve Colleges, and an Academy in
almost every village.
With all these ~inexhaustible natural
resources,-wilh a population rapidly
increasing, and as e%nterprising and in
dustrious as any in the world-with
her benevolent Institutions to quicken
the philanthropic pulsations o fher NIGH
ty heart-and with her colleges and
academies to illume the minds of her
youth with their beautiful sunlight, Ohio,
ere a quarter ola century, will oblige
the "Empire State" to look 10 her laur-
els.

This alternate engagement and re-ac-
ton, if permitted to continue under a
septic type, must soon destroy the vi
tally of the part engorged, when all
hope must cease. The quinine, by en-.
ervating the whole system, enables the
vitals to resist, and it ceases; my pa
tients seldom have more than one chill.
In the meantime l give from three TO
four grains of good rhubarb, with two
or three gains Of calomel once in eight

barb given in this way, acts as a very
gentle stimulating ~purgative, taking off
the feculent matter without depicting
the system any. By this simple pro.
cess, with q few cooling lotions and
plenty Of cold water, sometimes acid
or wine with it, my patients seldom
languishsd over eight or ten days. And
as all these remedies are easily TO be
obtained, l would simply say TO the
afflicted, try the plan, and when bene-
fitted, recommend it to your ~neighbor.

Soap for washing white clothes

EDIroR OF THE CULTlvAToR.-I en-
close you a receipt for making q wash
ing soap, given to my wife, which she
thinks is capital, and has nc doubt it
will be found economical, both on the
score of saving soap and the wear Of
clothes:'
REcipE.-l gallon good soft soap,
gallon water,
I ounce sal soda,
1 gill turpentine;
Mix cold; let it heat gently to boil;
then take it otto cool, stirring frequent
ly until it becomes hard.
D~IREcTIoNs FOX UsE.-To a four or
five pail boiler add a tea-cup full Of
soap. The clothes want to be soaked
over night, or slightly washed in tho
morning before boiling. Must not bs
boiled over 90 or IS minutes; suds and
rinse in hot soft water, with a little blue
ino--.6g blusing is preferable. The
suds, after boiling, is preferable 10 hard
