-TtaE.vv, editor AXDJjirti;iR'1D,!l "wKSTIitt ENTERPRISE. Extract from m Oration delivered by a Sui- , . lent,attljC first exhibition of the Seminary at Wilmington, Dearborn count;-, Indiana, on the 17th of July, 1835. The present is an age of improvement in the West. Our country, compared with its situation in former times, now presents a contrast naught with important design, and ominous of a nation's highest fame. Only half a century has elapsed since here, were I lie hunting grounds of the savage, and the wild beast's haunt. On the same surface, now decked with verdure, and co veied with useful vegetation, once nourished the cane, the thistle, and the thorn, in luxuriant xvildness. Beneath the same brilliant orbs which now light up the firmament of heaven, and the same luminary which now dazzles the meridian of day, the gifts of bounteous nature once were lavished to the hrutal gaze of untaught myriads. But what a change lias been wrought. Behold around von so manv objects bear ing the impress of that important era. whLh took place when the tHinint tf Kntn-prtfc awoke from its slumbers, but-t the bands of ignorance, improved those gift?,and taught the aspiring mind lo prize their untold worth, T.y the industry of the Farmer, and the ingenuity of the Mechanic, our country is changed from a vast uneultivatt d wilderp.es?, and made to produce copiously all the necessaries of life. Formerly it was the habitation of w ild and ft rocious beasts, by which it w as inaccessible to travelers, unless at the risk of lite. I hey w etc in imminent danger of being devoured bv the panther, or massacred by the savage. Hut now its surface can, with entire safe'y, be traversed from the shores of tho Atlantic to its Western frontiers, a:ul from Iaricn's burning climate in the South, to the Lakes in the North. The mechanical powers which science has invented, and which now are in successful operation in the West, have an tullnencc demonstrative of the most liberal and exalted enterprise. New inventions have been made, dead nature has been set to woik, and br."t forth a new creation of thing, numerous and diversified as the wants of man. Whilst in the F;ut the lights of improvement have shone forth, " and ma le her barren rock an.t bleak mountains smile," in the West their rays arc turning the solitary xvasles into fruitful fields, and prcpaiing for the markets of the world, innumerable products of meritorious industry. Whence are thoe vast machineries adapted to the formalion of every product, essential lo the highest happiness and elegancies of life; whence the, numerous artificial rivers and roads those superb highw ax s on w hich move the laden barge, or dies the way-faring man; xx hence the mighty ships that climb the lowei i.ig billo vs, in the pursuit of commerce; and a thousand other inventions acting xvith direct reference to the amelioration of the world! They are the products of enterprise. During a few years pasl, sprightly exertions have been made for the improvement of navigation in the West. The Mississippi and Ohio rivers stretch from one cad of this great valley to the other, and extend their larger tributaries throughout its whole breadth. The Atlantic itself docs not, in oar empire, wash so extensive a line of coast, oi bear the freights of commeice to so many parts. Thirteen States and Tcnitories, embracing half the members of the Canon, and a still larger portion of its tcriiloryhe in contact with these streams, and are directly intci-csted in their navigation. There is not a farmer in the West, a merchant, nr nn ow ner of real estate, not a man who In Interests in common with thoe of his country, who is not benefitted by thi ust fil navigation. And when a jt! system of internal improvement shall be carried into operation, not onlv N w Oilcans an I the great valb-x of the Mississippi will be benefitted, but ex. ix portion of the United Slates xvill i.-.d ize the vast importance of tin jr i.axigation.

but also lo supply all the demands of foreign markets, both with provisions and the raw materials of manufacture. The-true spirit of Western enterprise is operating with vigor and fiilclitv. By the discoveries and elegancies of liteiature, whatever can afford profit or amusement, is recorded and spread with the greatest rapidity, so that the stock of knowledge is continually increasing. The great cause of education is advancing; the press continues to multiply the means of spreading knowledge; roads and canals extend the facilities of trade; the plow horse treads the furrow with unabated industry; the steam boat paddles its way freighted with Western productions; the mechanic whistles oxer bis labor; the pulpit maintains its inihience, and the benrh it? pniity; all civil and political right? of the citizens remain inviolate; there is plenty at the fireside of the citizen, ai d peace and thanktnlness within the sanctuaries which are tolerated in the exercise of every form of xvorship. The daik shades of idoli zing passion, in their night Irom the moral horizon of the forest's benighted son?, are already on the xvings of the w ind. And we may confidently anticipate the period not far distant, when every portion of our Western wilds, even to the shores of the Pacific, shall become enlightened; when those hills and valleys, now the abode of savage men. shall exchange the xvar-xvhoop for the voice of peace, and the scalping knife tor the implements of agriculture, and the arts of civilized life. And if the croxx nin glory of everv nation is its intellectual character, xvhen the halo American fame shall have encircled tlie globe, let us hope that here its tin fading luster shall be brightest in the beam of that glorious light which glow ed m groves of Academe, in the pure air of Athens, and designed that the golden age of Augustus, in Rome, should bask in its smile. Schools, Se minaries, and Colleges are rising up in the midst of this Western valley, and institutions o( charity and benevolence are shiniag in her deserts. The. fab rics cf pagan superstition, stained in the blood of infamy and old age, no longer st unt m sullen antiquity, Iroxvning in cnielty upon their deluded, enslaved and shrinking votaries. And mu these institutions, xvith all the advanta ges of a praiseworthy enterprise, be con tinued, without adding stability to the firm pillars of our national government, or lifting high the honors of a virtuous, intelligent community ? Shall these bright prosnce's of our Western hemisphere, he darkened bx tne tx fanny of Catholicism, as amioun ced by iiy xvorlhv predecessor i Horrid as this may seem, there is a possibility. The Catholics are not coming as an armed band, arrayed with artillery in the pomp of warfare, to take possession of cur tights, but they are already in our Congress I alls, and in various parts of our countiy aie tearing Chapels, Colleges, and Schools, under their oxvn tuition. And when they become sufficiently strong and numerous, it is awfully feared that xve xvho boast the priz i of civil liberty, must submit to the Pope. Popery is" the same here that it was in l'uiopc. By crossing the Atlantic it has not lost one stain of its malignity, nor the smallest tincture of its despotism. And two systems diametiically opposed to each "other cannot exist together. As soon can xve belie c that light can dwell with dark lies, truth with falsehood, or life xvith death, as that tho constitution of the United States and the system of Popery, can oicupy the same ground. Therefore, suffer not the cry of "no danger," to lull you to inactivity and lislhssnoss. Babylon, o.ice the glory of kingJo-n.

Take 30 grains of quinine, one ounce ot cloves. (grind them on the cof fee-mill.) and one oz. of cream of tartar: put all together in a bottle; put in one pint of good xxhiskev, or brandy; shake it xvcll, and let it stand from 8 to 12 hours, before using it. Take one table spoonful every hour (xvhen there is no fever on.) One pint is sufficient to cure an adult. For a child, take in propoi lion to age. The stomach should he xx ell cleansed, first; if it is foul, one dose of calomel xvill be sufficient. N. B. If the stomach is in good order and the person prudent and careful, they xvill scarcely ever have more than one shake alter they begin to use it.

SIIOK MAKlXti AT LYNN. This town has been famous in New England for this trade, from a period anterior to the American revolution. The ladies' shoes, particularly xvith old fashioned high heels and xvhieh our grandams used to sport at the soirees of Gen. Washington, could then no where else be obtained but from Lynn.

The trade has been constantly advancing and extending from the small confir, shnns then occupied by single families, carrying on the business upon their own individual account to the commencement of the present century, xvhen large factories xve re built for the purpose. In 1810 one million of shoes it i estimated, were made here; valued at $800.000 about $50,000 of this sum xvas paid for the labor of females. In 1832 the manafacture had increased to one million seven hundred thousand pair, giving employment to 3G00 persons, amounting to one million of dollars. Of late years millions of the low fancy shoes, have been made there for exportation to South America. Unc eighth of the shoes are made from goat skin morocco: three eighths from various stuffs. The cloth shoes consume about 100,000 yards. The sole leather con sumed is about 700.000 lbs. the L'alloon for binding t. 200.000 yards. The cotton for lining 80,000 yards se.xving thread 1000 lbs. silk and 5,500 lb, of flax and cotton. Wc glean the above from the New bun port Herald. SING V LA 11 NARRATIVE. We have obtained permission, says the London Patriot of January 7lh, to lay before our readers the following extract from a private letter, containing a narrative xvhieh borders upon the in terest of romance. Malta, Jan. 20,2834. A child, named, Carlo Francingo, ar rived at Malta twenty-four years ago then being about three years old, with a Tiiesle woman and another bov, both of xx bom she said xvere her sons. She came in search of her husband, a master of a trading vessel, from whom she xvas subsequently separated. She took up her residence in Malta, and kept a tol erably respectable school, and xvas enabled by that means to obtain a competency for herself and the two hoys, and to pay for their education. Carlo be came a great proficient in languages, and at an early age understood Maltese, Italian, derman, Spanish, 1 rench, and I.nglisli. lie xvas engaged by Mr. R here as a clerk, and being rather an able correspondent, became amanuensis for several of the Maltese merchants. not so highly gifted. Among them, an old gentleman named (irech, about years ago employed him to write a letter to (lenoa, xvhieh, as Crech xvas too ill, Cai lo signed : Pro L. G recti, Carlo l rancingo. Ry some accident, this let ter fell into the hands of the Austrian ambassador there, xvho, on seeing (In signature, wrote to Malta, to know hoxv he came there. 1 he government hen made every inquiry, and communicated a I . .

Marchioness of Hastings, xvhen her husband xvas gov ernor, to olter lum an appointment un der government, xvhieh Cnilo declined. A short lime after. Carlo received a let ter from the. bank of Munich, staling that .JL'7000 was paid in at his disposal. Cailodrcw for $JO00, and the bank (ailing afterward, (hat xvas all he got of it. Such a variety of curious events induced lum to ask his supposed mother wno ne xvas. Mio said she did not know; he xvas not her son, but xvas put i . ...... a in ner charge in hcolland w hen only a few inonll is old: the other box' xis her own son. Some time after this, Carlo received a lelterfrom a banker in P uis, staling that (Ion. Kellerman xvas dead. and in his will had left him fifty thousand francs, deposited in his banker's hands, to be at his disposal. After a few more months he reieivcd a letter from a lady in Scotland, stating that she xx a his sister, and that if he xvould meet her at Paris, she would go there to see him.--By the advice f his cm ployer, Mr." R. he went; and, on the day of hi? arrival, a carriage drove to tin door of the house he put up at. out of which stepped one of the chief hankers of Paris, xvho insisted in making bis house his home. He there met his i ister, an elegant and accomplished lady, xho had been accompanied ftom Scotland by an elderly lady from Caithness. She told Carlo, she did not know who they xvere, but she herself xvas placed xvith the old lady xvhen about tlnee months old, xvith ample means lo biing her up in the style she had done, and enough lo support her so as to move in society equally elegantly educated. Carlo accompanied his sister to Kngland, and being of an eccentric turn, and penurious, he returned to his employment in Malta. Two years afterward, he received a letter fiom Coutt's

bank, staling that hi sister xvas dead, and that 0,000 were deposited in their bauds, arising out of a legacy left him by her. lie xvas so much aflecled at the loss of his sister, that he would never afterwards sleep in a bed. Within the last six months he has received letters fiom Paris, Vienna, and different parts cf Kurope, announcing large sums being deposited in the various banks for him. At Vienna, 100,-

000 fr; at Paris a person elfercd him 120,000 for his receipt in full for all amouiits at his disposal in that city. On the 5lh of this month he set sail hence in the Onarata, for Marseilles, with i friend, to endeavor to find out who io i. His habits arc very eccentric. His employer could scarcely ever in duce him to partake of dinner as a reg ular meal xvith him. lie generally took his dinner in a coach-house, and it consisted of a few hot potatoes, an onion cr txvo, and bread and Gozo cheese; its entire value 1 l-2d. His supposed M mother and brother remain here, and reside at Civita Vccchia; the latter is being trained up as a priest. Carlo has provided amply for both of them, lie carried his penuriousncss, xvith regard to himself, so far, that at one time he made a pair of shoes; and thinking that act not the extent entirely to xvhieh he wished to carry his saving propen sities, he made them loo large, to al low for his grow ing; and as he observed, because they xvould not xxcar oul so soon. He spent a great pari of his time at churches, and ordinarily confessed once a w eek. His forehead and eyes are thought like Napoleon's, and some persons think he b a son of his, from that circumstance, and that Kellerman left him money, and General Lain iston, on of Bonaparte's Atdes-de-Camp, inquired after him xvhen in Malta. We have been permitted to read, this morning, a letter from the Post master at Charleston to the Postmaster in this city, in xvhieh a picture is given of the state of public sentiment in that place, xvhieh xve should think could not be contemplated by the most heated ehthiisiasl in the cause of universal emancipation without impressing him with (lie necessity of pausing in his mad career. The Postmaster at Charleston, if they continue to send their incendiary publications, xvill hereafter do the duties of his office at the peril of his life. Blood the blood cf xvhite men, as xvcll as of blacks will be shed in torrent. The torch of war xvill be lighted, of a servile war, the most horrid strife that ever incarnadined the earth, and our brothers of the south, pointing to their slaughtered sons and violated daughtars will say to us at the north, "You, fratricides, have done (bis deed!'' .V. )".

Now the stages run their hundred miles a day, and the rail-road cars (ravel at the. rate of 20 miles an hour, bringing Worcester so near, that it may now be properly deemed a suburban city.
