marks, which are highly applicable to this sec
ton of country, and deserve the serious con-
j sideration Of the dwelers west Of the Missis-
4 sippi It says, if you are anxious to break
down your own town, cripple your State and
section and destroy your own institutions, turn
the cold shoulder ca your merchants and me-
chanics and direct influence against all new be-
ginners IN business. Discourage all you can
h try and create disgust for the place and its
inhabitants; arouse suspicion on the part Of the
public against the new conner, and excite jea.
lousy on the part Of his brother merchants and
II mechanics. If this don't drive him off, decry
his wares or work, send your money abroad
and buy nothing from him. Treat every new
conner with jealousy and distrust, and if that
won't prevent him from settling in your town,
you can privately traduce and blacken his char
acter- By all means do nothing to stimulate
individual enterprise or encourage home indus
try. Don't patronise home manufactures. Get
i your cotton gins from Massachusetts, abolition
lists, and your furniture from Ohio free sellers;
buy nothing at home which you can get abroad,
and do all you can to injure the prospects and
wound the feelings Of those engaged in the in
dustral pursuits In educating your children,
never think Of sending them to the school at
| home-send them off, the farther the better
even if you place them under the care Of the
aboltionists Of Yale or Harvard. If YOU cant
do this, don't encourage home schools any
way-magnify their faults, especially when
conversing with strangers, and do all you can
to circumscrbe their patronage. If the public
should seek to build railroad, don't take one
cent of stock, even if you are satisfied it will
pay. Withhold your influence and try to get
rich by the energy Of your neighbors, if they
will build them, at any rate throw every obsta-
Gle in the way you can-foment disafection,
discourage those who are friendly to the pro-
ject, and disbearten such as may be engaged
in the enterprise, and you are doing just the
thing to accomplish your object. fla man IN
dertakes to build a steamboat, try to depreci-
skill of the mechanics-tind all the fault you
can with them-use all your influence against
them-compare their work with that turned
out by the abotionists of Cincinnati and Pitts
burg. Deride southern manufacturers, eschew
southern periodicals, do all you can to break
down your own merchants and traders, and
you will crush your town, ruin the institutions
OF the State, beggar your country and $50 to
seed'' in no time. Reader, this is every word
the truth and S'nothing but the truth

According to the official statement it appears
that the general government has to pay within
fraction of 1921, 900 for the extra police and
military force called out at Boston, on the oc-
casion of the reclamation of the fugitive slave
Anthony Burns. The ordinary expenses in
cured in the case, such as the fees of the reg
ular United States officers, &C., is to be added
to this amount. 1t would seem that the inhab-
ltants OF attorney general Cushing's State are
not disposed to deliver up property stolen from
southerners, without they are well paid for it,
This is a new construction Of law and order.''
Very ingeniously contrivcd counterfeit quar-
ter eagles are in circulation in New York -
They are said to be made from genuine New
Orleans mint die, stole some years since, and
bears "O' under the talons of the eagle. John
Tory, assayer, at New York, has analvzed the
coin, and finds that it is made Of a casting of
pure gold, filled with silver, and probably pla-
tina, to increase the weight. The weight is
60 $40 grains, which'is only four light, and
the casting of gold weighs 80 lilo grains. 1t
is therefore worth s1.17 in gold, and 8 cents in
silver, or 1925 in raw material, besides the
labor Of making. The manufacturer and ven
dor could not, therefore, realise more than s i
on each, which would seem too small profit,
except that the counterfeit is so well done that
there is but little risk of detection.

FIRST RATE ADvrcE.-The following extract
from the Introductory lecture delivered by doct,
A. B. Campbell, physcian-in-chief to the Phil
adelphia hospital and almshouse, at the REOPEN
ing OF that institution, to the medical students
for clinical instruction, on the 25th ult., ex
presses an opinion which is, fortunate for suf-
ferlng humanity, gaining ground among all in
telllgent members of the faculty. He said that
nature cures diseases-never forget it! When
you get into practice, and begin to prescribe
largely, you will begin to overlook that fact,
and to think that yourseloes and your medicine
cure. AS soon as you do, you begin to kill
GU can modify and lead the vis nsedicatr;r
nature, but you cannot opposeit without iniur-
ing your patient. Hypocratcs says eve ought
not to do anything rashly; but ought often to
pause, or wait, without doing any thing By
this way, if you do the patient no good YOU
do no harm.
The Piercites must be extremely nervous and
fearful. A few days since it was rumored at
Bellevue that the know nothings had organised
a lodge in that town, which so bewildered the
