nWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the end is not yet" the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsJoled, and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the e'abo-
rate and ponderous treatses to be he'd by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.

Attempted Murder and Suicide.

On Saturday last, man by the name of
Henry Tompkans, aged twenty five to
thirty years, residing in Townsend, in this
county was committed TO our jail, for killing
or attempting to kill, his two sisters on the
night previous. The circumstances, as
we learn them are these:-This man
Tompkins, with a brother and three sisters,
were living together. On Friday after
noon last, just before dark, Henry returned
home,-having been absent since tho day
previous, no one knew where,-and, find
ing his three sisters alone. without the
slightest proyocation, seized an axe and
commenced murderous attack upon them.
One Of the girls managed TO reach the door
and made her sscape,-when she ran to
her fathers, about fifty rods distant, and
alarmed them. On returning to the house,
horrid, horrid spectacle met their gaze;
upon tie floor laid the brother and his two
sisters, weltering in their blood After
having struck his sisters several blows each
upon the head with the axe, till lhoy were
apparently lifeless, he seized a knife and
cut his own throat, but, it seems, did moi
reach the carotid artery. A surgical ex'
animation discovered the skull OF both the
girls to be fractured, one very bad. Al
last accounts both were living, but slight
hope oftheir recovery was entertained :
'fompkins, we learn. is not drinking
man, and, from the absence of all provo
cation to the commission of the deed, tht
| inference is irresistible that the man mus
have been deranged.-Norwalk Expert

rWe would say to all who are afflicted with
the gravel, that there is no article now before
mankind equal to DR.. G. C. Vaughns Lithon-
triptie Mixture, as a remedy. This celebrated
panaeea as a curative, in this complaint as well
as in all others, has astonished the medical fac
ulty. They have themselves made use of it, not
only to administer to their patients, but have in
number of cases, taken it personally and been
cured of their distressing diseases. Should this
statement be doubted, DR.. Vaughn here publicly
offers to put 1000 dollars against 100, that he
can produce the names of the gentlemen of the
medical faculty in the State of New York who
have used the remedy for cases Of gravel which
they personally were afflicted with, and have
been benefited and cured by it. Who will take
the risk. See great American Remedy, Vaughns
Vegetable Lithontriptic Mixture, in our paper.

A Great Union Party"

Since the introduction Of Mr.. Clay's IA
nous resolutions, relative to the subject of
slavery, many Of the leading whig papers
North and West, are industrously promul.
eating The idea of ''the necessity of n grert
National Union Partv''-and under this
caption the New York Express has long
article advocating the formation Of such
party, and says:-
"Now, it is very obvious that if such a
party is to be formed out ofany portion of
the Wing party South, the Wing party
eUery aohere must form neuU alliances, and
finding men with whom they can operate,
work with, even if pro tenapore there be-
ing silence, by agreement respecting
things wherein they differ"
This paragraph is significant, and disclo-
ses the deplorable condition of the whig
party, as well as their utter destitution Of
any settled principles OF policy. During
the last fifteen years, that party has done
more to ferment the discordant feelings
which now give rise TO threats of dissozu-
tion, than all other causes combined -
They for long time, encouraged and fos-
tered the Garrisonian Abolitionists, and af.
terwards for the sake of obtaining power,
coalesed with the South, and elected
southern Shareholder to the Presidential
chair! And now, when the "signs of the
times" portend a complete dismemberment
and breaking up ofthe Wing party, nd a
loss of the "speils of office;" they propose
to get up new party, out of the fragments
of the old Federal phalanx, under the pop.
ular name Of the "Union Party" The
Express is more honest than whig editors
usually are, in confessing the objects Of the
new alliance, and expresses willingness
TO accept the aid of other factions, for the
time being! What the result of this move
ment will be, we cannot now predict, but
the democratic party have duty to per-
form, in this crisis, from which no demo.
crat should shrink. The idea of disso-
luton Of this Union is preposterous and
ridiculous-got up for political effect alone
and The democratic party should stand
by the right; regardless Of threats, from
whatever quarter they may come.
