Il Crown Quarto, of ASP pages Containing e
three times the matter found in any other English

abridgment of this work. and yet tits definitions

ssWe believe we shall be certain OF doing service
TO the people of the State, il we say word two
upon the unabridged Quarto Dictionary of the
English Language, by Noah Webster. The word
unabridged has been purposely employed, because
if such work is wanted for any but the very
lowest uses-those of mere photography or
thoepy-it cannot be too copious and comprehen-
sive When one is ignorant of the proper and
precise powers of word, he cannot endure to be
turned over to abridgment that gives him a
synonym, instead Of definition; but he demands
to know much as anybody knows of its history
or etymology, and all its different shades of
ing. Then only can he employ it with confidence
and effect, as mighty weapon for the expression
of intellect or passion.
''In the vital department of lexicon, its defn-
tions, for which, more than any and all other rea
sons put together, we consult such a work, DR..
Webster's work stands unrivalled. Their copous-
ness satisfies the wants of the inquirer, and their
nice analysis and acumen crafty his taste and re-
ward research. The vocabulary is interspersed
with terms in science, which it is very convenient
often to have explained with promptneBs, without
the trouble of reference to the shelves of the Ii
brary. y."-Nsiodrk Daily Advertiser, March %. 1851.

ody, composed entirely Of vegetable ingredients,
and totally free from any mineral substance, com
bining catharGc with cordial and strengthening
powers, was originally discovered and prescribed
by Dr. Amati, celebrated physician, in most of the
diseases of the abdominal regions-such as diarr-
hpa, dysentery, bilious complaints, dyspepsia, and
all other disorders of the liver, &c.
Knowing from experience that it operates in the
most kindly and effcctual manner in these cases,
it is submitted as a remedy to those who may be
attacked by the prevailing fatal scourge, and as
preventive to all who may be SO unfortunate as to
escape its first insidious symptoms.

attended with the most damning results Of wretch

Legislature SHALL pass prohibtory law upon th'
subject, allowing It's sale only for mechanical, me
diclnal, and chemical purposes.

that cannot will protect its subjects from th'
wide spread evils of the traffic in Intoxicating Ii

VIRGINIA AND VERMoyT.-Gov. Floyd, of
Virginia, sent special message to the Legislature,
OH Tuesday, in which he characterised the recent
action in the Vermont legislature as an injury
and an insult to the whole South, and remarks
that it demands an instant settlement for the re-
storation of complete and effectual harmony
The Governor recommends the Legislature to in
vte all the States of the Union to unite in send
ing delegates 10 represent the whole people in
general Convention, to assemble at Baltimore or
some other convenient or central point, not later
than May next. He further recommends that
the State of Virginia speaking through her legs-
lature, appeal earnestly and sincerely to her sis
ter States of the South, to postpone any extreme
action in relation to present difficulties, until the
result of the deliberations of such Convention
shall be known. He concludes by saying the
motto of the South must be as it has been, "Union
if we can--Independencei it we must"

if we We're engaged in similar enterprise. Nor
have we the least objection to the people OF that
section building as many reads as they please
We are speaking only under the apprehension
that it may be sought again to make the state
party 10 the work, by loaning tine school fund
for its completion. That attempt, as we ire
aware, was made last winter, and five recollect
Alright, the Milwaukee men who had the matter
in charge, refused thento become personally re-
sponsible in any manner. They would give 70
security but such as the road afforded, and we
suppose nothing different or better will be offer
ed in any new attempts. The value of the road
then becomes a matter of importance TO the peo-
pie of the whole state and as its value depends
of course ON the per centage it pays on the stock
/ according to our way of thinking it will have nc
value at all. While then, as we said, we have no
objection TO the citizens of that section or any
other section, building as many roads as they
please, we trustthe legislature will not be indu-
ced to loan the school fund to the road in ques.
ton, on no better security than the road itself af-
