Patent Steam boiler Cleanse

VHIS COMPOUND has undergone the
81 examination of the most competent
Chemists in France and England, and has
bean pronounced all over Europe the BEST
ARTICLE ever found for removing Scales in
Steam Boilers, this great evil for industry.
The main qualities of this Compound are:
that It rcn,ores the scales Of any Ioiier IN a
fe,c days, no matter ho,c old, and it does not
imjsue the metal in the least. The raising Of
steam is made easier. 1t saceS fuel and cork,
and l,yrrcnts all danger of explosion.
The Compound has now been in use for
three years, and the great success obtained
in the Old World induced the undersigned to
introduce it Oh this Coast, being confident
of the patronage Of this enlightened and in
dustrious country. u. VENARD,

KEEP TIE SOLDIERS LErTERs.-Mothei
father, brother, sister, wife, sweetheart, keep
that bundle sacredly! Each word will be
historic, each line invaluable. When peace
has restored the ravages of war, and our
nations grandeur has made this struggle the
most memorable of those great conflicts by
which ideas arerooted into society, these pen
pictures of the humblest events, the merest
routine details of the life led in winning
national unity and freedom, will be priceless.
Not for the historians sake alone, do say,
keep those letters, but for your sakes who
receive them, and ours who write them
The next skirmish may stop our pulses for
ever, and our letters, full of love for you, will
be our only legacy beside that of having died
in noble cause. And should We survive the
war, with health and limb uninjured, or
bowed with sickness OF crippled with wounds,
those letters will be dear mementoes to US OF
dangers past, Of trials borne, Of priyations
suffered, Of comrades beloved. Keep our let
tiers then-and write to as all the home news
and gossip" Bid us God speed-speak
kindly. loving, courageous words to us. II
you can't be Spartans land we don want
you to be-be "lovers. countrymen ard
friends" So shall our feet fall lighter, and
our sabres heavier. .. ..

John Hancock and Thos. jefferson, and
Charles Carroll made rather mistake when
they wrote it.
God Almighty and Paul made no mistake
when they said "fIonor all men," There is
the Declaration of Independence "honor all
men," degrade. desccrate none. Every divine
institution stands there in single text "Love
thy neighbors as myself" There spring up
all your reform schools, all your hospitals, all
your asylums for the poor and afflicted,
blessed with that single sentence. Everything

EGov. Parker has ordered the with.
drawal of New Jersey troops from Pennsyl-
vania. This strange proceeding at the very
time Of the greatest danger is understood to
be in consequence of some personal difficulty
between Cows. Parker and Curtin. The man
who, like Gov. Parker, will jeopardize the in
terests not only Of neighboring State but Of
his own State, to crafty little personal pique,
deserves to be held up to the execration Of
Ill patriots and honest men. Let Gov.
Parker repent of his folly before it is too hate.

The Courier On the Invasion.
EDIroR JoURNAL-Dear Sir: The eve

mine handed me the Daily Courier Of that
days issue, June 18th. In the editorial
find the following, speaking in regard to the
Pennsylvania raid:
Though the Administration was informed
several weeks since that this invasion was
threatened, yet it seemed that no preparations
were made to ward off the blow" .-...a-.
He further says: sq4.s -gs..
1.-THE consequence is that the Capital of
the State of Pennsylvania is in danger of
capture by the rebels" "T
would here ask the loyal editor if the
Administration has not been trying to raise
troops in Pennsylvania for the express pur-
pose of guarding the State for the last six
months? The consequence was that in the
very locality where the rebels first entered
the State the people resisted the draft and
fed into the mountains to keep out of the way
Of the proper officer. I.r .. Sd.
here say if Pennsylvania VIII not rise and
defend herself, let her suffer the ravages Of
the rebels. The loyal editor further says,

1t is too truc-Republicanism makes all reb-
els mad. The Judge has staggered ON the
truth for one time at least. am aware that
Republican forms of government make all
men mad who are in favor of an aristocracy.

''The blood of the brave Mcclellan is de.
manded in order to satiate Abolition thirst in
the hour of peril, when rebel cannon are
planted on Abolition door steps,"
He further says that he is glad to learn
that there is patriotic uprising in the middle
States He says the invaders must be driven
back.
1t is not because rebel cannon are planted
ON Abolition door steps that the Judge wants
the rebels driven back. He is fearful that the
rebels might not respect their friends when
they get into Pennsylvania, and some sympa'
thizer like himself might be in danger. The
Judge, who has never taken any stock in the
war, is beginning to feel like investing little
sympathy, provided the Abolitionists will use
their energy in putting down the rebellion

Jefferson ON ssArbltrary Arrests
Some years ago Gen. Wilkinson made an
arbitrary arrest of Aaron Burr, who was
believed to be engaged in an unlawful enter
prise on the Western rivers. A few persons
were found then to object to tho act, and to
stir up agitation against Gen. Wilkinson and
President Jefferson. The latter, in replying
to letter of a friend, used the following Ian
guage: ....
THE question you representation Cir
cumstances do not sometimes occur which
make it duty in officers Of trust to assume
authorities beyond the LAWS easy of solu-
ton in principle, but sometimes embarrassing
in practice. A strict observance of the writ
ten law is doubtless one of the high duties of
q good citizen, but it is not the highest The
law of necessity, of self-preservation, of saw
ing our country when in danger, are all of
higher obligations. To lose our country by
scrupulous adherence to written law, would
be::tol lose law itself with lfe liberty, property,
and all those who are enjoying them with US;
thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.
= X + X
In judging the case, we are bound to con-
slider the state of the information, correct or
incorrect, which he (Wilkinson) possessed.
He expected Burr and his band from above,
British feet from below, and he knew there
was formidable conspiracy within the city.
Under these circumstances was he justi6abe
list. In Selling notorious conspirators? On
this there can be but two opinions; one of
the guilty and their accomplices, the other of
all honest men. I'd. In sending them to the
Seat of Government when the written law
gave them right to trial in the Territory?
The danger of their rescue-of their contin.
uing their Vaccinations, the hardness and
weakness Of the law, apathy of the judges,
active patronage of the whole tribe Of law
yers, unknown disposition of the juries, and
hourly expectation Of the enemy, salvation Of
the city and of the Union itself, which would
have been convulsed to its center had that
conspiracy succeeded; all these constitute a
law of necessity and self-preserva'ion, and
render the salus popuH supreme over the
written law. The officer who is called to act
on this superior ground, does indeed risk
himself on the justice of the controlling pow
ers Of the Constitution, and his station makes
it his duty to incur this risk.''
