UThe Gazette of last week makes another


of its peculiar snaps at US, for publishing the
Young American. 1t was stated explicitly ,cAy
had fallen into our hands exclusively-bu
it was not stated, however, (nor was it neces-
c,ary,) that its publication had been a source
thus far of a handsome monthly revenue TO the
surviving Young gentleman whose name was
connected with its origin; and will continue to
be while he remains to serve his unexpired
time, if the paper lives so long; it is ~volunta-
ry act on our part, warranted by the assiduity
and talent he has displayed in learning his pro-
f%ession, if there were no other reason.
But, as the existence of this little paper
seems offensive to our generous contempo'
rary, the satire of his powerful pen may be
arrayed against it, and its life may be Short
We never like to fail in anything we UNDER
take, or which we are connected with. Much
energy and many struggles shall prevail before
such an event shall ever happen with us, with
regard to any matter whatever. Apart from
this feeling, and so far as our pecuniary inter-
est are concerned, the failure of the paper al
luded to, through the opposition of our con-
temporary, would be a matter of the slightest
possible importance. 1t will nevertheless con-
tinue to be published, and will be improved in
January as stated, (and we have already gone
to considerable expense for that purpose) will

ing its claim to success upon its low price, its
merits, and its peculiar style-and we have no
fears regarding its prosperity,
If the gentleman, our contemporary here in
the printing business, is afraid that we will
make a few spare dimes by the above opera
ton, (and he could not express himself more
clearly in that respect than he has, we merely
request him to reflect that we served nearly Sc
ven years to learn this business; and it is our
legitimate right to make a living out Of that
business by every honorable means which a
knowledge of it presents. But perhaps, as he
evinced such clear dislike to our connection
with the paper aforesaid, it is for the reason
that it is not democratic for a man to engage
in more than one description of business at a
time, that the rest of the world might have a
chance. If SO, he does not act in accordance
with his sentiments, for Caleb Quotem never
had a greater variety of yocations attached to
his skirts than has our talented contemporary.
In conclusion, we beg leave to say, that in
sticking to our Office and to our business, and
not intermeddling with the business of Others,
we hope to be recompensed for our labor, and
live free from embarrassment to ourself or
wrong to others. Further, our aims and our
ambitions extend not.

vicinity and throughout our parish, that any
recommendation from US is superfuous. In the
peculiar business of Watch repairing, mending
Jewelry, &c, more than any other perhaps, the
customer wants to know something relative to
the integrity of the workman, as we'll as to his

say, that no one can become acquainted with
Mr.. BUCKLEY (and we have known him for
years) without feeling convinced that in his
hands, all work entrusted will not only be exe>

whatever he says or promises, may be relied

Wech's Great Hippodrome.-This celebra.
ted exhibition, which has attracted so much
notice and acquired so much popularity,
throughout the East and West, has at length
reached the South, for the first time, and will
exhibit in this place oil tomorrow at Q, P. M.
and in the evening. From notices that we have
heretofore seen of this extraordinary establish
ment--extraordinary relative to its size, the
number of persons connected with it, and the
character of the performances given-we feel
convinced that a display such as has never been
seen here, will be given tomorrow. 1t is sta.
ted that there are l63 male and female per-
formers attached 10 it, and 200 horses, ponies,
and other trained animals. The tent, it is said;
will hold 5000 persons. We hope 50, that
some little comfort may be afforded the audi
ence for we never saw one here yet, scarcely,
that was not jammed to an insufferable degree.
Come ye, everybody, with handkerchief to
wipe the laughing tears from your delighted
eyes!

The Peoples Journal-This is an ~il|ustra.
ted periodical. published monthly in New York,
by ALFRED E. BEACH. 1t is devoted to Agri-
culture, Mechanics, Sciences, Useful Knowl-
edge, &c. Each number contains 80 large pa
ges of letter press, beautifully printed on fine
paper,and profusely illustrated with engravings.
It's price is so cts. per volume of six months;
and to our mind it is a most useful and praise
worthy publication, which no one would re-
greet, should he subscribe for it. The engra-
wings, as playtilings for children, are worth
double the money. No wonder we are a great
people when knowledge can be had at so cheap
a rate. The above work can be seep at our
office.

Grumbling Editors.-The Della, in its no.
tees, under the head of Esprit of the Morning
Press" makes the following very appropriate
remarks:
The Crescent alludes to a practice of SOM
editors of bewailing the dssagrtmens of their
profession. 1t seems to us that there is quite
too much of this thing. If the business don't
suit those engaged in it, lie, them take to some
other more agreeable avocation. This continual
lamentation over their wrongs, prosecutions,
neglects, is little creditable to the manhood Of
the press. lfthese plants were founded, in fact
there is no propriety in continually parading
them before redears. who take newspapers for
their instruction and information, in resard to
mat'ersof more Importance than the private
concerns and feelings of editors.

UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.

w1he demand for DR.. M'Lane's Liver Pills
wherever they have been introduced, has increa-
sed with astonishing r~apidity. Their popularity
is unprecedented in the annals of medicine. Even
physicians are using them in many cases, when
they can obtain them. Patients, however, need
not be at the expense of medical advice, as they
can purchase a box of the Liver Pills, with which
directions will be furnished, which will work a
speedy cure. The following certificate, from a
gentleman in Ohio, speaks strongly of the efficacy
of this great remedy:
P1cKRELL, Logan Co. o., 18th me. Sd, ls49.
My wife was afflicted with the Liver Com
plant for nearly five years, and spent about one
hundred dollars with a regular physician, all to no
purpose. l heard of M'Lane's Pills, and got four
boxes. She is now enjoying good health. You
may make use of this, if it will do you any good.

rThe Mechanics Institute of Ohio, at Cincin-
natl, have awarded their Diploma to "Ayers
Cherry Pectoral," the widely celebrated remedy
for colds, coughs and consumption. This honor
was richly merited by the Inventor of that inva-
liable medicine which has secured not only the
above commentator, but also that of the most
eminent Physicians in this, as well as the highest
medical authority in other countries. And what
is far greater encomium on its usefulness, is, that
it has won its way to almost every tireside of the
American People.

A Bright hea.-A bright idea, when once
it takes possession of an active mind, does not
remain idle long, but is sent forth upon its err
