athy to deaths door; but changing drivers,
the chariot of Homeopathy brought him back
in a jiffy. This friend had sick headache,
took three pills of pulsatilla, and before she
could get the bottle corked up again, she was
entirely cured. We are assured that Group
is now nothing, if you only have the right med
icine by you. Measles are right down good
fun, and teethng and commissions medical diver
sions. Scarlet fever, that bloody horror of the
nursery, the moment he sees DR.. Hanemann,
"comes right down" Indeed, the old red
dragon is crest-fallen and goes about as diff
ferent from the scarlet fever of Allopathy, as
Red Jacket civilized into drunkenness and into
a ditch, was from the whilom savages who
greeted a midnight village with n war-whOop,
and found their way into it by the light Of its
blazing roofs
If one dies under this practice, we are assu-
red that "all men must die when their time
comes, in spite of all medicine. And this
seems rational But if it had been Allopathy,
they would have taken us by the button, shook

STRANGE" as if no excuse could be given for
man who died in the pale of the old school,
1t was evidently suicide.
Then, too, there is no harm done, even if there
is no good we are told Pa and ma are afraid of
strong medicine But these darling little dain-
ties, these pills for fairies, you may take any
number of without danger Indeed, their pow
err is inversely as their number. Three are
better than four, two better than three, one
better than two, and none at all better than

But we have observed how much more med
icine is taken by many of our kind friends of
this school than by us. To be sure, stout
blue pill is mountain by the side of their
Homeopathic dust. But then we only take such
once year. Now, medicine 50 harmless as
those dear little phials contain is a very tempt
alton.
Life with some nervous people becomes an in
tercsting game. Their body is a forest pains are
the wild beasts, and pellets the means of hunt
ing them, and the patient lies in wait for a
pain with as much zeal as hunter among the
reeds for the descent Of a flock of ducks. He
and she have got something that will do the
business for them.

tent is more than twice ~ large as all New
England. do not. however, profess that this
statement is precisely accurate as in two or
three instances Indian tribes were located in
what is now partly the slaveholding and
partly the non-slayeholdng section of the
Union. | think the statement is. if anything,
most favorable to our Southern friends.
But have not time to say more relative to
the purchase of lands from the Indians Be-
fore conclude, shall allude to other expen-
ses Immediately connected with this subject
and in consequence of which the whole South
ern country was freed from the presence OF
hostile Indians
GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES NORTH AND SOUTH.
But | must pass along There are many
matters of less importance, which illustrate
the unfortunate character of this charge of ag-
erosion Among the grants of power, we are
authorized to coin money. Now there are
three establishments for this purpose at the
South--one in North Carolina, one in Georgia,
and one in Louisiana and but one at the
North, in Philadelphia. 1t will be recollected,
that Congress has been petitioned, year after
year, for branch at New York, and the peti-
TONERS have been denied their reasonable re-
quest The Southern establishments have been
brought into existence by Northern votes; and
if this may lie called a Northern aggression, |
may "a well say that the business men OF New
York and New England would be very glad to
~ visited with Southern aggression OF a sim
liar character Ii cannot be said that the
business Of coming will not be done as cheaply

By the facts here presented it will be seen
that the shore line Of the slayeholding States
is more than one thousand miles less than
that of the free States and Territories; and yet
they in the slaveholding States have received
two thirds of the national expenditures for pur-
poses Of coast defence.
There are many other matters upon which |
might dwell. have not noticed all the expend-
lures of Government nor is it possible for me
to do so on the present occasion. 1t is fair to
state that in the construction of naval vessels,
&c, the larger amount has been expended at
the North; but with very good reasons. The
cost of construction at the North has been
much less. This is no aggression, but the ex-
ercise of wise economy. Put this and what
ever other items Of n similar character that
may appear upon the record down to the North
ern account and still affirm that taking
into consideration the expenditures of every
description they are very far from furnishing
our Southern friends any decent reason for
complaint
Before concluding, | must briefly allude to
one other cause of uneasiness. 1t has been said
that the people of the North make money out
of the commerce of the country This is put
down among the list of grievances But are
tIc INOTtH W DldHic lOT tndt! Inc question: is
briefly answered by writer in De Bows Com
mercial Review, a work of high authority and
standing at the South. Hear him:
THE ships of the North come to our shores
laden with rich stores from all quarters of the
globe--slks and teas of China, coffee from
Brazil, the manufactures of England, France,
the spice of Sumatra, the gold of California.
For almost every article Of necessity and luxu-
ry we use from foreign countries, we are in
debted to Northern enterprise, to which we an
nually pay large tribute, the immense profits
of which might accrue to ourselves had we the
enterprise and energy to enter the field. Will
any man of sense pretend to say that there is
any action of the General Government to pre-
vent merchant of Charleston, Savannah, or
New Orleans, from fitting out ships for the
whaling business, importing teas from Canton
or coffee from Brazill Are the duties on for
eign goods any higher in Charleston than in
New York;
Sir, the case is well put, and have only to
add that, for the "tribute" they pay, they re-
ceive from the North valuable consideration,
in the services described in this extract. And
if they do not think so, they have the same
right enjoyed by the citizens of my own State,
to become carriers for themselves and the world
to enter into both foreign and coastwise trade.
And the remark will apply with equal force to
every branch of business known to civilization.
