self were bitten by mad dog. A sheep
was also bitten at the same time. Among
the many cures offered for the little boys

a friend suggested ihe following, which he
said would cure the bite of rattlesnake.
Take root Of common upland ash, gem
orally called the black ash, peel OIL the
bark; and boil il to a strong deeoction; OF
this drink freely.

above, the sheep spoken of begau to he
afflicted with hydrophobla. When it had
become so fatigued from its distracted state
as to be no longer able 70 stand. my father
dreDched it with pint Of the ash roo: dose,
hoping 10 ascertain whether Lc could de-
pend upon it as cure for his sons. -Four
hours after this drench had been given, TO
the astonisAment Of all, the animal got up
and went quietly with the flock to grazing.

Scott has written on public and politi>
cal questions sums up their contents
thus: From his own avowed 'convic>

pie, desiring the determination Of slavery"
Cd. That he is Native American. F"
and would repeal all the naturalization
laws. by which only foreigners have politi-
cal rights in this country. 89l
Sd. That he would have Canada Annex

aud of the Anti-SIave.y party, and placing
the South completely at their mercy.
4th. That he is in favor Of the abolition
veto poweI, by destroying which great
check the legislation of the Government
would be placed, without restraint, in the
hands Of the mere msjorilies Of Congress.
9th. That he is, in principle, III favor oi
Bank of the United States; in favor OF the
odious Bankrupt law adopted by the whig
Congress; aud in favor OF dividing the pro-
ceeds of the public lands among the States

The Louisiana Union Party


The great party of our S,ate whose head is decked

the Compromise, the good wings OF New Orleans sung
IAans OF praise to Senator Downs They fondled him
and Toasted him. They took him by the hand, and said,
=" Well done, my brave boy~ They softly whispered,
with genlest accents, into his ear, "Well may the
State be proud OF her servant" They turned up the

the echoings OF hollow hearts! No, no. they were
then thought to be dictated only by high and holy pa
trloiism and that party and its ties had been forgotten
IN their anxious desires to preserve the Union. But
what has the sequel proved That all these professions
OF love for The Union were but the first steps IN the ma
n1uvre to split the democratic party OF this Stale and
cure themselves in power. They have accomplished Their
object They have gained one congressman, elected
wing legislature and thereby secured the election OF wig
United States senator With all their admiration for the

speeches and fine dinners, with all their avowas OF the
