CUMBERLAND MARYLAND THURSDAY MORNING SEPT 49, 1851

The spirits of the mighty dead com.

skies. Let the white race perish.
They seize your land, they corruIt
your women they trample on the ashes
of your dead
Back, whence they came. upon .raiI

Back ! back, aye, into the great wa
ter whose accursed waves brought them
to our shores
Burn their dwellings. Destroy their
stock ! Slay their wives and children
The red man owns the country, and the
pale faces must never enjoy it
War now War forever! War upon

their very corpses from the grave Our
country must give no rest to the white
mans bones.
All the tribes of the North are dane
ing the war-dance. Two mighty war
rors across the seas will send MS arms.
Tccumseh will soon return to his coun-
try, My prophets shall tarry with you.
They will stand between you and the
bullets of your enemies. When the
white man approaches you the earth will
swallow him up.
Soon you shall see my arm of fire
stretched athwart the sky. | will stamp

earth shall shake. .-C1atLorne's life Of

Freedom of the Press.

The following is the opinion of that
eminent jurist, Justice Story, ON the
freedom of the Press.
That this amendment was intended
to secure to every citizen an absolute
! right to speak or write or print whatever
he might please, without any RESPONSE
bility, public or private, therefor, is a
suppostion too wild to be INDUCED in
by any rational man. This would be to
allow to every citizen the right to de-
stroy at his pleasure the reputation, the
peace, the property, aud even the per-
sonal safety, Of every other citizen. a
man might out of mere malice and re-
venge, accuse another Of the most infa-
nous crimes, might excite against him
the Indignation of all his fellow citizens
by the most atrociOus calumnies might
disturb, nay overturn all his domestic
peace and embitter his parental aifec-
tions; might inhct the most distressing

Useful Receipts.

GRAPE WlNE.-Wine may be made
from the Isabella grape on small scale,
by picking the fruit in clear, dry wea-
thcr, when perfectly ripe, and after pick
ing out all the immature and unsound
berries. pat them in tight box or tub
and mash them with pessle or FOUNDER,
having the lower end square. Reduce
the fruit in this manner to fine mass,
but do not breah the seeds while pound
ing The next process is the extraction
of the juice. which may be done by plac-
ing the mass in coarse bag or sack,
and submit it to pressure. IF cheese
or portable cider press is at hand, make
use of it, otherwise place the bag be-
tween planks and lay stones on them
When the juice ceases to run, remove
the pomace to tub, and after breaking
the cheese fine. sprinkle on quantity
of clear, soft water, to dissolve and draw
out the remaining juice. When all the
juice is expresseG-which is usually from
II to 16 quarts per bushel of grapes

pound of white granulated sugar, stir
ring and shaking it until the sugar is
completely dissolved, Put the liquor
in,o a cask, [clean of course,) which
should be full, in order that the impu-
rites may flow over by fermentation at
the bucg. Some of the liquor SHOULD
be reserved in pitcher or bottle, to Gil

After it ferments eight or ten days, put

DOCTOR SMITH

HAS for many years devoted his whole attcn-
HtiOn to the treatment of private complaints,
in all their varied and complicated forms. His
great success in those long standing aud diff
cult cases, such as were formerly considered in
durable, is sufficient to commendhim to the pub
lie as worthy OF the extensive patronage which
he has received. Within the last eight years.
Dir. 5. has treated more than ~, 500 cases of
Private Complaints in their different forms and

of all the physicians now advertising in Balti
more, and not u single case is known, where di-

1icted with diseases of the above natare, "nO
matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would do well to call on DIR. SMITH,
at his Office, No. Il, South Frederick Street.
The afflicted should bear in mind that DR.. S.

has for many years devoted his whole attention
to the treatment of this class of Diseases.

whence, she soon returned, bearing q
silver tray on which were displayed ma
ny tempting vianGs which quickly dis
appeared before the attacks of the Rover,
who, as he finished, held high u globe
of rich old port, exclaiming as he did
so Here's forgctfulness to the past and
bright future to us And quaffiing
off the contents, he arose saying, 1t is
getting late, NIargery, so I'll to bed ard
pleasant dreams, and he gIided out Of
the room.
The morning dawned clear, and as the
suns first beams gilded the window of
his room, kyd sprang from his couch,
and making hasty toilet he descended
to join his sister in the garden; and as
they wandered along the paths, and be-
meath the giant oaks, that adorned the
manor grounds, their memory went back
to the merry old times in England when
they, light and innocent, passed
the sunny days of childhood in joyous
mirth.
Many days says the legend, did the
Rover thus abide at Cocymans, in sweet
communion with the memory of his child
hoods hon G. And when at last he left,
it was with many promises of a speedy
return But, alas. for his plans of fu-
ture happiness, he presented himself in
adver'cutly in the streets of Boston, was
seized, sent to England, tried and exc
cuted.
Centuries have passed, an all traces
of the manor house of Coeymans have
disappeared, but tradition still points
out its site, and tells of an old stone
house, and of a spectre in rustling silks
and high hceled shoes that glided through
its lonely halls long after the Madame
Cocyman went to her grave.
