In one thing I agree with all the'authors: let all relieving medicines be followed bv an active cathartic, and the next dav by a decoction of bitter herbs. A better remedy titan all others within my knowledge is the following: Force the entrails, warm from a fowl down the horse, or bleed him in the mouth, that he may swallow the blood; follow this in fifteen minutes by a pint of milk and molasses, warmed; repeat in half an hour; if not relieved, in twenty minutes give one quart of the strongest alum water, which puts the bots in a complete pucker; and in fifteen

minutes administer a very powerful cathartic, which operating during the stupor nro-

Jioston Transcript. 9 From the Ilaltimorc Chronicle. GLORIFICATION OF TIIS PRE SI. DENT. The Whigs of the Legislature of New

York arc a curious set of wasrs, and al

though in a small minority, the way they

bore "the party is "a caution," as Davy-

Crocket says. Recently, resolutions were introduced glorifying (Jen. Jackson and

its administration. I hey. of course pave

rise to debate, in the course of which one

of the Whigs offered the following addi

tional resolution: iVWrci, That General Jackson's de

lineation of the character of a patriot l'res-

uienr, in his celebrated letter to .Mr. .Monroe, and his recommendation to the latter, in filling the various offices of the Government, to make his selection of candidates from the best talents and character

of the conntry, without 1. nction of par

ty, anil thus hy destroying the hydra par

ty spirit, to become, instead of the President of a faction, the President of the

w hole country, were as wise as they were patriotic, and only required the saction of

his own high example to give them full

and salutary effect.

As the clerk read it, "the party" turned

and twisted like an aneconda, and a dead silence ensued. At length one of them

rose and moved that it be laid on the ta

ble, which was carried.

Another Whig then rose, and offered

a resolution as follows:

Jicsolvrd, That Gen. Jackson's Ex

ecutive lecommendation in favor if limit

ing the Presidential term to four years was sound in principle, and should be

carried out in practice.

I he reading ot this resolve made them

tw ist like a wounded snake, and instantly it was laid on the table by a party vote.

.Mr. i:i.nv, then rose and said, that as the House seemed disposed to render

its homage to General Jackson, he antici

pateda unanimous vote in favor of a mo-

seated himself on the counter, (w hich was

01 hue mahogany, and with the utmost

non-chu!unce indulged himself for some

time in trimming its edges. The tailor

in the interim, seized his shears, and, for

every shaving cut by the customer, cab

the bargain was completed, the whitle

creature would a man be, were his voice, in proportion to his weight; as loud as

editor of the Argus, when this resolution was read, "may be imagined but cannot be described;" and the Regency, the former vililiers of General Jackson, writhed as if they had been cut to the back bone. The resolution was, however, laid on the table, and the censure of the Albany Argus remains l,uncj -punged." The previous question was at this point

remarking that it was manifest that the

following resolution:
