F'After the 10th ballot when the convention
adjourned, | went to Washington. 1t was on
Sunday | went to Gen. Scott's house, and said
to him, you have seen the resolutions which the
convention has passed--do gou approve of them
Yes sir, replied Scott, q cordially approve OF
them all, and | will say so or ie."-Ertract
from Cor. jones speech.
1t seems from the above thafGen. Scott when,
Gov. Jones went to him was in awful trepeda-
tion, I will say so or die" 1t required great
effort, and the exercise of high moral courage to
make this declaration. His mind was bent on
nomination, and he would say anything to OBJ
tain it, at the same time he uttered in spirit OF
desperation this sentiment, he feared that while
it made capital for him with southern members OF
the convention, that Jones would make it pub
lic and he would lose his northern friends
But his friend Gov. Jones was too prudent to
let it be known publicly that he had made this
declaration, If indeed he ever made it, until he
got away down to Memphis, where it was ne
cessarv 10 attribute such a remark to Scott to
stop the boiling that was going on to an alarm
ing extent There is a mystery about this mat
ter. If Gen. Scott was always compromise
man with the fugitive slave law included, and
had been prominent In its advocacy, second only
to Foote and Clay, why was it necessary for
GOV. Jones 10 visit him and interogate him
upon this subject? We are rather inclined to
shink that Gov. Jones himself manufactures the
declaration for Scott to please Southern wings
Though the General may possibly have said it
relying upon Gov. Jones' prudence to keep its
secret from his free soil friends. He did no
say he q cordially approved them" in his letter o
acceptance, and we doubt whether he has eve
said it, However this may be, it won't do hin
much good, for he has said thatit is high mora
obligation resting upon masters and slave States
to ameIiorate slavery even to determination,
and the South has no use for man that enter
tains such views.

IT is AFAcT ESTABLISHED.


4 nd well known that the Arabians attained
height in the knowledge of medicine which
caused the whole world TO wonder and ADMIRE
With them the science of chemistry had its
birth, and it is, therefore, not at all strange
that people so eminently successful in the
healing art, and so perseyering and daring in
character, should, by actual and untring ex-
pertinent, discover remedies far surprising in
efficacy all others, for the cure of those disea-
ses incident to them from their mode OF life.
The greater part of their time being spent in
hazardous and bloody warfare with the differ
ent tribes they were sub iect to the most violent
attacks of rheumatism, paralysis, neuralgia
pains, and various infiammatory diseases, as
also the most horid wounds, sprains, bruises,
tumors, swellings, diseases of the joints, ETC.,
ect ALI these diseases they were so surpris-
ngly efficient in curing, that the uninitiated
looked with wonder and attributed their skill
to the powers of magic. III. G. FARRELL'S
ARABIAN LINIMENT is n composition of
balsams and oils, from rare plants peculiar to
this country, and twas by the use of the arti-
cies composing the great remedy that not only
their physicians, but even the wild Arabs Of
the desert were enabled to perform such mir
aculous cures. The Arab steed is world-re-
nowhed for his beautiful symmetry of form,
his unsurpassed speed and agility, and the
incredible fatigue he is capable of enduring
VI by is it? Because from the time of his
birth his limbs are carefully watched, and up
on the first appearance of disease the magic
lotion is applied, and such things as confirm
ed sweeny, poll-evil, fistula, rngbone, scratch
es SPAWN, lameness, etc. etc., are unknown
The same result will follow in all cases where

GEN. ScoTT IN TENNEssEE.-The opposition
to Gen. Scott among the wings of Tennessee is
growing fast and furious. Parson Brownlow,
of the Knoxville Wing, takes his full share
in the movement, and in one of his late mum
bers chronicles his prosperity and success. We
are not surprised to see the Parson going ahead
in his war upon General Scott: but it does seem
rather curious to find Mr.. Webster and the State
Department openly giving him aid and comfort
and cheering him on. We copy from the Rich
mond Enquirer:
ScoTT IN TENNEssEE.-Parson Browlow is
prospering to his opposition to Scott. He says
in his issue of July 20: g Week before last, we
entered the names of 81 new subscribers on our
books; last week we entered l02 and this week,
up to the hour of going to press, we have enter
ed 200 names while not ten men have discon-
tinued in all that time. Almost every man wTi-
ting for the paper says | am an anti-Scott
Whig.' These are facts which we can show on
our books, and by our files of letters, to any who
are curious enough to call and examine them
This is free country, and the masses are not TO
be driven from the support Of an independent
press by a few selfish leaders. Our weekly issue
now is 3,600-a circulation no paper ever could
boast of III this end of the State
To show that he administration at Washing
ton approves his course, Parson Brownlow
writes the annexed little notice
90 We have been kindly and respectfully mott
fed this week by Mr.. Webster Secretary Of
State, that our paper is selected for publishing
the orders, resolutions, and laws passed during
the first session of the Thirty Second Congress,
and also all public treaties entered into and rat-
fed by the United States"
'.If the above facts do not indicate that Ten
.nesse is coming against Scott and Graham, and
that Mr.. Webster will rejoice at such result,
we confess that we are unable to draw correct
inference. Ten thousand majority is what the
Parson says Tennessee will give for Pierce and
King"

OLD Rip VAN WINKLE WIDE AwAKE.-The
news from the g old North State' is cheering in
deed. The majority for David S. Reid, the dem
ocratic candidate, is 5000! Surprising by
far the most sanguine hopes of the democratic
party North Carolina has been claimed by the
Wings as one of the very few southern States
certain for Scott 8" the candidate of the free soil
wing of the whig party" But in thunder tones
she has given The lie to the foul SANDER, and By
wayof specimen Of what she will do next fall,
has rolled up majority of 5000 for democracy.
Hurra for old Rip! We may set her down as
certain for Pierce and King.

Cinderella.

The origin of the tale fiom which this
pantomime was adopted is sufficiently Curl
Gus. 1t was about the year 1870 that a
French actor, Of equal talent and wealth,
named Thevenard, in passing through the
streets of Paris, observed upon cobler's
stall the shoe of female, which struck him
by the remarkable smalness of its size
After admiring it for some time, he return
ed to the house, but his thoughts reverted
to the shoe with such intensity, that he ap-
peared at the stall the next day, but the
cobler could give no other clew to the own
er than that it had been left, in his absence.
for the purpose of being repaired. Day af-
ter day did Thevenard return to his post to
watch the refrigeration of this slipper,
which proceeded slowly; nor did the pro-
prietor appear to claim 1t. Although he
had completed the sixtieth year of his age,
so extravagant became his passion for the
unknown fair one, that he became (were
it possible for Frenchman at that day to
be SOY melancholy and miserable. His pain
was, however, somewhat appeased by the
avatar of the little foot itself appertaining
to pretty and youthful girl in the very
humblest class of life. All distinctions
were leveled at once by love; the actor
sought the parents of the female, procured
their consent to the match, and actually
made her his wife.

How TO go to Sleep when You are
WakefUl.

How to GO 10 sleep is to some persons
matter of high importance. Nervous per-
sons who are troubled with wakefulness
and excitability. usually have strong ten
dency of blood on the brain, with cold ex-
tremities. The pressure Of the blood on the
brain keeps it in stimulated or wakeful
state, and the pulsations in the head are Of
ten painful. Let such rise and chafe the
body and extremities with brush or tow
el, or rub smartIy with the hands to pro-
mote circulation and withdraw the exces-
sive quantity Of blood from the brain, and
they will fall asleep in few moments. A
cold bath, or sponge bath and rubbing, or
good run, or lapia walk in the open air,
or going up and down stairs few times,
just before retiring, will aid in equalizing
circulation and promoting sleep. These
rules are simple and easy of application in
castle or cabin, and may minister to the
comfort of thousands who would freely ex-
pend money for an anodyne to promote
"Nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep.'

Oh precious gospel Will any merci-

infirm poor the only prop on which their

Personal Appearance Of our
Saviour.

OF the personal appearance Of the Re-
deemer of mankind, people generally have
but the most vague conceptions, such as
have their origin in the numerous painted
portraits passing as likenesses of that divine
parsonage, who 'spake as never man spake.'
He is thus described by Lentulus, ruler
in Judea in letter addressed by him to
the Senate of Rome, during the reign of
Tiberius Cesar: "Conscrpt fathers-There
appeared in these our days, man of great
virtue, named Jesus Chist, who is yet liy-
ing amongst us, and Of the Gentiles is ac-
cepted for prophet of the truth, but his
own disciples call him the son of God. He
raseth the dead & cureth all manner of dis
eases. A man of stature somewhat tall and
comely, and in proportion of his body well
shaped, and his hands and arms delectabls
to behold, with very revereled connie.

and fear. His hair is of fibert fully ripe,
to his ears. whence downwards 1t is more
orient of color, somewhat curling or waving
about his shoulders. In the midst OF his
head IS seam or partition Of hair after the
manner of the Nazarites. His forehead
plain and delicate. His cheeks without
spot or wrinkle, beautiful with a comely
red his nose and mouth exactly formed.
His beard is thick, of the color of MS hair;
not of any great length, but forked. His
look innocent and mature. His eyes grey
clear and quick. In reproving he is awful
in admonlshing courteous and friendly in
speaking, very temperate, modest and wise.
1t cannot be remembered that any have
seen him laugh, but many have seen him
weep. A being for his singular beauty sur

Our Mother.

Children ought to love, obey and honor
their parents. Let your mother in particu-
lar,who ir your tender years, has the more
immediate charge of YOU, be on earth the
most sacred object of your affections. Let
her be your friend and chief confdant.-
Conceal nothing from her, but make her
acquainted with the company which you
keep, the books which you read, and even
the faults which you commit Happy is
the son and particularly the daughter, who
are not afraid to communicate to their
mother their more secret thoughts. Whilst
they remain thus artless and undisguised,
they are free from danger. Children obey
your parents in youth but whenever you
are no longer under their care. let not your
reverence abate. If by the providence of
God you should rise above them in the
world, grow not ashamed of them. While
they are bending under the in6rmities Of
old age, still continue to treat them with
respect as well as afection.-Dr. Free
