From the JVational Gazelle. ia donated in the newspapers

whether the ex-president Adams has done wtll, in relation either to himself r the counirv, m accepting a seat in C"igre!?. W: bf liev that he will not have in that body his equal in political erudition; th it he is eminently qualified to transact much of the important legislative business that he w ill be an able and instructive orator. But we cannot rejoice in the measure which he has adopted. It is a new case that ought to be canvassed freely, as a ore cedent. His example may beoJpwed by ex-presidents much less fit to be useful, and with dispositions and views less worthy of trust. The idea that a President may or will become a member of Congress soon after he leaves his xlted station, from whatever cause, may have some irjurioin influence upon the intercourse between bim and thai h )dy, and upon his general adminislraf ioj. The Chief Magistrate of the Union, indeed, h but a representative of the p.jrtpl; he cannot be said to degrade that othce by taking the same character in another dep irtment of the government: yet every one must feel tbat its acknowledged dignity, superior on various account-,, musi sufFer from the exposure of one who has htld if, to the mixd assemblage and rough warfare i the House of Representa'ives. A '-x-president placing him-lf on that fljor so soon after a very violent struggle, and a career still bitterly repi Mhed is liable to be baited and buffeted; to be involved in contention wish inferior minds and arse spirits; to be rendered the special mark of party resentments and personal arrogance. With what vigor, or ."kill, or decorum soever he may defend himself, the whole conflict and fituation must be painful to him and to the deli cate or fastidious part of his countryman. To he insignificant, or in the ranks of the mediocrity of tbe House whether as to service or consideration would reflect some discredit on the ch )ice of the nation, and in itself argue that he ought not to be there. The treatment to which Mr. Adarn may be subjected, can be conceived, or predicted, from the spirit and drift of the following editorial paragraph of the Washington Telegraph of Thursday: "Were Mr. Randolph also to become a member of the House, much ar.xmt ment if not instruction might be anticipated from the questions which the Roanoke orator could propound to the Presidential Congress-man, upon the subject of the late coalition administration. As it is, there will be several members of the House who are amply cap'abie, ind who will feel it their duty to 'bring him out' for his friends say, that his object in getting into Congress, is to 'explain' certain measures of his, about the wisiomof which, the people seem to be incredulous. Gen. Root, of N w York, we bee, is elected; he would make a good catechiser, should he undertake tbe task, and we advise the Coogre-maa elect, to spend the coming eighteen months in getting answers by rore. for the pithy interrogatories which will probably be put to him." This is a kind of halloo to the polili. cal mastiffs that would ztorry an exPresident with more relish and acharnemsnt, than any common game. It is true that the men of consular dignity among the Romans continued in the Senate and returned to the lists in the Forum: and that prime Ministers in France and Great Britain acta principal part in the Parliamentary arena; but those cases are susceptible of being broadly discriminated from the present. We need not point out the differences. The objections adducible against en trance into Congress, would not apply with equal force to the acceptance of a judgesbip,orsuch functions as Jefferson, Madison and Monroe consented to exercise towards the University of Virginia. The bench is aloof from political strife the academical administration is equally apart: their purity, usefulness, and moral elevation are distinct and peculiar, and might be deemed coordinate with any other in the Republic. They do not affect the general and natural sense of cot.gruity,in reference to the Presidentship, after the occupation of which a citizen could bold himself in a manner sacred; politically an historical personage, letting the storms of party rage as they listed, employing his leisure in promoting branches ot public economy in composing an nals for posterity, in cultivating the!

domestic and religious affection. Con spicuousand useful as Mr. Adams ma) be in Congress, he could serve the republic with more effect, and with un questionable or unequivocal propriety, by writing for the press, what he may speak either for universal and peima nent instruction, or in vindication of his past political career; by preparing memoirs and works of history philosophical or literary legacies such as he is competent to give to future generations. The ex-presidents should be tbe chamber councellors or oracles of their country; ready to expound as Mi. Madison has recentlv done that constitutional law upon which their opinion or testimony may be deemed important or decisive; or private historiographers, deeming it their duty to record, with studious exactitude and

justice, the memorable facts and char acters intimately known to them by peculiar opportunity; or municipal auxiliaries and benefactors, lending the influence of their names and example, and their personal resources, to social concern?, to the arts and sciences; or domestic patterns, causing their mansions to be regarded as shrines of tried public and private virtue, wherein the lamp of life, shedding a mild and genial luster, would be suffered to expire with a wise and graceful resignation. From the Journal of Health, Sugar. Preserves. 'Hr.." says honest old Slaie, the ph)sitian, "that un dertakes to argue against sweets in gen-1 eral, takes upon him a very difficult task for nature seems to have recommended this laste to all sorts of creatures.'" Tnis, as a general proposition, is undoubtedly true, and yet we find that there are writers, of no me.an eminence, who condemn, in the strongest terms, the use of sugar, as injurious io the stomach, destructive to the teeth, or otherwise pernicious to the health ot the system. How such an opinion should ever have originated, it U very difficult to say. So far from any bad effects being produced by the free use of sugar, at least under the ordinary circumstances of health, it is shown, by the most conclusive evidence, to be a highly nutritious and useful article cf diet. So palatable, salutary, and nourishing, is the juice of the sugar caue, says Bryan Edwards, in his history of the West Indies, that every individual of tho animal creation, drinking freely of it during crop time, derives health and vigour from its ase. The meagre and sickly among the negroes exhibit a surprising alteration, in a few weeks after the sugar mill b get in motion. The labouring horses, oxen, and mules, though almbstconstantly at work during this season, yet, being indulged with plenty of the green tops of this noble plant, and some of the scummings from the boiling-house, improve more than at any other period of the year. It is, in fact to the sugar they contain, that a long list of fruits and other vegetable productions, which constitute so targe a portion of the food of man and the inferior animals, owe their nutritious properties. The date, which contains a great amount of sugar, forms almost the only sustenance of a arge number of the inhabitants of the East; and the fig, a fruit of the same character, was ancient!), we are told, the chief food of the Atbleiae or public wrestlers. From these and other facts, we may infer, that sugar forms a very proper addition to our food. Whether pure sugar however can be eaten by itself, in any quantity, with perfect safety, is somewhat doubtful. To insure its ready digestion, and in that manner prevent its turning sour in the stomach, it would appear to be necessary, that it should be combined with other alimentary substances. It is in combination with mucilage and other vegetable matters, that it is met with in the juice of the cane and those fruits which the experience of mankind has shown to be the most nutritious. Hence, as a gen eral rule, sugar should be made use of ramer aa an addition to less palatable articles of diet than as tbe principal food. VVe do not say, tbat life cannot be sustained upon sugar alone; for we know that iu their journeys through the desert, whole caravans have subsisted upon it for many days. And in St. Domingo, at a time when commerce was suspended from the want of ships, sugar was substituted, during many months, for the ordinary food of the cattle, and they were found to fatten on it. It is, however, a curious but well establish

ed fact, that subsfrmtes which contain like sugar, a largt: amounVof highly nutritious matter, in a -mall bulk, do not agree so well with the atom ch, nor are so readily digested, as these in which the nutritive principle is diffused thro a large mass of aliment. With a few individuals, sweets of all kinds produce nausea or uneasy sensations in the stomach n is needless to say, tbat in such cases sugar should be refrained from, or used only in very minute quantities. Writh dyspeptics, generally , sugar ia very apt to disagree. Dr. Philips informs us, that he has known several who were obliged to abstain even from the small quantity used in tea. Preserves are merely different kinds of fruit boiled to a certain extent in sugar or molasses. Tbe same remark very nearly, will, therefore apply to them as to the latter. When eaten in moderation, with milk or bread, they form an innocent, if not advantageous, addition to our meals; provided, how

ever, they are prepared of fruit tolerably ripe, a d not too acid. We are now speaking of the ordinary domestic preserves. In reference to the entire class, it will be proper to observe, that wbn formed from vegetables, very tough, of a woody fibre, or otherwise of an indigestible nature, they invariably disturb the stomach, notwithstanding the sugar with which they are combined. The great, perhaps the only, objection to the use of preserves in general, during a state of health, is, that they are generally eaten with the desert, af ter partaking of a hearty dinner, or at the close of a substantial euppei. Under such circumslances, they almost invariably impede digestion, and by running into fei mentation in the siomacbf produce heartburn, colic, and other uneasy sen?ation5. They aio tery apt, also, to produie the same, e ffects, when partaken, of late in evening, oi just before retiring to rest. Similar cautiong sbotild be observed in regard to the vessels in which preserves are kept, as were laid down when we spoke of pickles. A lew years since, a number of I he inhabitants of Lancaster county , in ibis state, were attacked with an extremely painful afc fecticn, tbe cause of which was traced to the use of apple-butler (a species cf preserve) which bad been kept in earthen vessels glazed, as is usual, with lead. From the Journal of Law. We inserted in the fifth number of this journal an article on the naturalization laws of the United States. In tbat article no notice is taken oi an act of congress passed the twenty-louith of May, A. D. 1820, entitled, An act to amend the acts concerning cuturahza tion." Our apology for tbe omission to which our attention ha6 been kindly drawn by a correspondent, is tbe difficulty which exists in procurii gaccess to the pamphlet laws of tbe United States; a difficulty which we have found considerable even since we have been in pursuit of this particular and one which ought to be remedied. Others, equally called upon to beaccarate,have been drawn into the same or even a greater error on this subject. By tha first section of the act referred to, lha 2d section of the act cf the fourteenth of April, A. D. 1802 is repealed. That section requires every person who may arrive after its passage and bedesiroua ol becoming a citiz.-r , to make report of himself, or if under age, that be shall be reported by his parents, guardcan, master or mistress wbicb report must be recorded and the certificate thereof must, on his application to be naturalized be exhibited to the court, as evi dence of the time of his arrival in tho United Slates. By the act of the twenty-fourth of May, 1823, the first section of the act of March twenty-second, 181G, is also repealed. By this section it is required thai any "ulien who shall have arrived in tbe United States since the 18th of June 1812, shall exhibit in his application to be made a citizen, tbe certificate and report of registry, required as evidence of the time of arrival, and also the certificate of his declaration of intention, which shall be inserted at full length in the record of the court, and declaring of no validity the admission of any such alien to be a citizen, after the promulgation of that He knew that this is at variance with tho experiments of Maendie, in which he gave sugar to dogs, and found thtm pine awwy under its use. li it we must bear in mind that lfcSe were cwniveyyus animals
