Whig Doctrines.
We hail with satisfaction, in the folIbwing resolutions, beihg
a
part of the
proceedings of a Mass Meeting of the Whigs of the State of Michigan, an expression of the true blue Republican principles of the Whigs of that State, which will, we have no doubt, find an echo in every State in which a public expression of the general sentiment of the Whigs shall find utterance: "That a firm adherence to the UNION of the States, and a readiness to protect and defend the same against all foes, foreign or domestic, are with us cardinal principles, from which we will never depart. The UNION is the palladium of our safety from the attacks of other Powers, and our sure and abiding guaranty of liberty and tranquility at home. "That the Constitution vests in Congress great and beneficial powers in regard to the improvement of the navigable rivers and lakes connecting or traversing different States and that it is its duty to exercise these powers upon the great chain of Northwestern Lakes, on which so vast an amount of property is annually afloat, an amount surpassing, we believe, that employed in the foreign trade of the United States, and yearly increasing. The Northwest has surely done its duty in defending the country against foreign foes, and acted welt its part in the work of settlement and civilization, in feeding the less fertile portions of our country, and in contributing to the national treasury and we therefore expect from the national representatives liberal appropriations for harbor improvements, the removal of sand bars and other obstructions that impede commerce and endanger human life. "That we rejoice at the election of General Zachary Taylor to the Presidency, and Millard Fillmore to the Vice Presidency of the United States, believing, as we do, that it will check the spirit which has existed in the public mind to thirst for power, military glory, and dominion that it will secure the blessings of peace and peaceful relations with all the nations of the earth that it will ensure domestic tranquility, a just, honest, faithful, and efficient administration of the Government and we hope it will put an end to the practice of prostituting Executive patronage to promote the elevation of ambitious aspirants to the Presidency.''
DON'T QUARREL.—One of the most easy, and most common, and most perfectly foolish things in the world is to quarrel, no matter with whom—man, woman, or child—or upon what pretence, provocation, or occasion whatsoever. There is no kind of necessity in it, no manner of use in it, and no species or degree of benefit to be gainod by it. And yet strange as ihe fact may be, theologians quarrel, and politicians, law-, yen?, doctors, and princes quarrel, and the State quarrels nations and tribes, and corporations, men, women, and childron, dogs and cats, birds and beasts, quarrel about all manner of things, and on all manner of occasions. If there is any thing in the world that will make a man feel bad, except pinching his fingers in the crack of a door, it is unquestionably a quarrel. No man over failed to think less of himself after than he did before—it degrades him in his own eyes, and in tho eyes of others—and what is worse, blunts his sensibility to disgrace on the ono hand, and increases the power of passionate irritability on the other
SMOKING POTATOES FOR THE ROT.—1 have been informed by a gentleman of my acquaintance, that ho had stopped his potatoos from rotting by smoking them. After the potatoes were placed in the cellar, (an out door cellar,) he built asmoke, and continued it eight or ten days, when the affected part dried up, and tho rest of the potatoe remained sound and good through the winter.— The remedy was discovered by placing fire in an unfinished cellar, to prevent the vegetables from freezing—immediately after which it was found that the potatoes had stopped rotting. He says ho has tried the experiment for two or three years past, and has never known it to fail of arresting tho disease immediately. O, P. K.

MACHINE FOR MAKING BOOTS AND SHOES.—A machine has been recently patented by Mr. William Snell, of East
011,
Pa., by which he forms gaiters, halfboots, shoes, &c., without scams, pro ducing any size required, and fitting the foot with great exactness. The ma chine will form any of the materials in genoral use such as patent leather, calf, kip, men's morocco, split leather, or anything woollen. It dispenses with the knowledge of boot cutting, and is so simple that any one, however unacquainted with tho business, may use it with facility. It Is supposed that as soon as the machines are brought into goneral uso, the price of patent leather boots will be one half or ono third less.
FEMALE LABORS—There are about 15, 000 milliners and dressmakers in London. They commence work usually at from 14 to 16—that is to say, at an age when the future health and constitution are determined by the care they then receive. A very large portion of these girls arc boarded and lodged by their employers, and they often come from the country healthy and strong. During the busy season, vl*. from April to August, and from October to Christinas, the regular hours of work at ••all the principal houses" are on an average eigh ^leen hours daily! What constitution can stand that st

Cure and Preventive of Cholera. We find the following statement in the National Intelligencer of the 16th inst: Vl-I
Laudanum, Spirits Camphor Tincture Cayenne pepper, 2 drachms. Tincture Ginger, 1 oz. Essence peppermint, 2 oz. Hoffman's Anodyne, 2 oz. Mix all together. Dose a tablespoonful (in a little water) for an adult.
each 2 oz.
The prescription is carried on nearly all the boats on the Western waters, and will check diarrhoea in ten minutes, and abate the other premonitory symptom of cholera immediately. I have tried it on my own person and have given the recipe to over one hundred persons. THOMAS U.BRYANT.
Paymaster U. S. Army.
FISH ON FRIDAYS.—Bishop Hughes, in his discourse last Sunday, at New York, concluded by saying, that as the use of fish had been pronounced by the medical faculty as inducive of the cholera, he had, by virtue of the prerogative invested in him, suspended that law of the church which prohibits the use of meat on Friday, from the present time to the 18th of August, should the cholera continue.
The number of deaths by cholera in Cincinnati in the year 1832, with a population of 30,000, between the 24th of September and the 14th of November, the period when the disease prevailed, was 568. For the week ending Saturday, July 7, 1849, with a population of 100,000. the number of interments were 1,079, of which 801 were of cholera, being 233 deaths more for the last week

INUNDATION AT NEW ORLEANS.—The Delta, speaking of the character and extent of the disaster produced by the crevasse above that city, makes a calculation, by which it shows that the inhabited squares are 220. The tene ments in these squares, are 2,200, and the number of dwellers therein 11,000. This brief statement will give an idea of the extent and grievous nature of the disaster.
RHODE ISLAND.—The Legislature is in session at Newport. A resolution restoring to Thomas W. Dorr his forfeited civil and political tights, has passed the House by one majority—ayes 29, nays 28—but in the Senate it was laid on the table. The valuation of the property of Rhode Island is, according to the mode proscribed in a new act $63.895,000.— Increase from 1823 to 1849 $37,650,000.
By a late arrival from Mexico, it appears that a declaration of independence of the northern states of the Sierra Madre of Mexico was published on the 16th ult.
The whole number of deaths from cholera in Paris in 1832 was 12,000. There have already been 11,000 deaths during the current year from that disease.

On the 10th tilt., at his residence in Baton Rougf. Louisiana. AM ASA READ, Esq., (brother of Dr. Read of this place and Professor Read of the Indiana State University,) in the 35th year of his age.
For so young a man be bad held many important trusts in that State. He had been a Professor in the College at Baton Rouge, and subsequently District Attorney, member of the Convention revising the State Constitution, and member of the Lcgialature.
As a member of these bodice, he took great interest in public education, drafted the bill on this subject, which under the new constitution became the law of the State, and at the time of hie death held a commission from the Governor to select and report a site for the State seminary, required to be established by the revised constitution. He ranked high in the profession of law, and was a profound literary scholar, having graduated at tbe Ohio University in 1834, with honor to himself and credit to the institution
He was a man of unblemished private character, and possessing those qualities of mind and heart which secured him immediately the confidence and tbe affections of the community in which he went a stranger to reside.
He has been cot down in the prime of life, amidst high hopes and bright prospects. During almost tbe whole period df his residence in the south, he suffered from a chromic diarrhcea. which had more than otice brought him to tbe very brink of the grave, and made him an easy victim of the scourge which is afflicting tbe land.
No other proof of his industry and energy need be given, than that under such circumstances he accomplished so much.—Communicated.

MILLS FOR SALE.
r»lHE Mills lately belonging to Geo. W. Cros1 by, (formerly Steele's,) are offered for sale. These mills are situated on Big Raccoon Creek, about 25 miles from Terre-Haute, in the heart of one of the best wheat countries on the Wabash, and surrounded by a community of enterprising and thriving farmers. Raccoon at that point furnishes as good water power as can be found in the western part of the State. The bed of the stream being entirely of rock, is unsurpassed as a mill site. The mills are in perfect order, having been almost entirely rebuilt by Mr. Crosby, the late owner. They have three run of stones, two of which are best quality of French burrs. There is also a Saw Mill belonging to the establishment, and large quantities of timber near. Power also for a Carding Machine, and a suitable building in which the Wool Carding business is now successfully carried on. The machines do not belong to the establishment.
If these mills should not be sold at private sale, 1 will on TUESDAY, AUGUST 7th, on the premises, offer the property for sale AT AUCTION, and if not sold, I will then at the same time and place, offer them

It |has accomplished the most extraordinary cures of rheumatism, ode application removing the most acute pain, and a continued use effecting cures of cases of Icing standing and of the greatest severity. In loss tif bower of the limbs, or paralysis, it stands^ at the head of all remedies, restoring the use of limbs td persons who long were a burden to themselves, afid all others—numerous cases of which wherein the flesh had entirely wasted away, leaving nothing but the dry skin on the bone and the limb rehdered useless and wifhdttt feeling, this allPowerful medicine caused healthy flesh to grow and nil up the shrivelled part, and restored strength to the .inib.

Mr. H. G. FARRELL: Dear Sir—Havlrig ifi my liteti me owned many horses, I am pretty well acquainted with the diseases they are sub|ect to, as well as the remedies usually applied, and must say that I never used or heard of any medicine that was half so good as your Liniment. I would recommend it with the greatest confidence to all whoi navehorses. They should alwayshaveit on hand, so that it could be applied immediately in case of accident, and thereby save the life of many a valuable horse I have used it in the very worst cases ot sweeney withentiresuccess alsosplint, sprains, bruises, galls, wounds, sore eyes, &.c. Two most extraordinary cures I muM mention in particular. 1 got up very early one morning, and on looking into my pasture discovered my favorite horse limp ing and dragging a rail after him. On going up close to him, to my amazement and horror, the rail was sticking in his stomach, between the nanks, to the depth of eight inches, and so tightly u' i?°k
.hard pulls to extricate it after
which the poor animal suffered the utmost agony. 1 never dreamed of his recovery, and supposed that no human hand could save him. The well known virtues of your Liniment flashed on my minu, and it was immediately applied. By the next day I had the gratification of witnessing the commencement of his recovery, and insi.taays thereafter I rode him to Peoria, as sound as ever, and would not take $150 for him now. The other case was this. Oneof my men got his leg in the teeth of a thrashing machine, and it was only by a miracle that he was not instantly killed. His leg was horribly mutilated, though no bones were broken. Your Liniment was applied, and in five days he went .to work again. He fully believes that but for your Liniment he would never have recovered. With every wish for the success of the Arabian Liniment, am truly yours,

Mr. H. G. FARRELL Please send me by the bearer another dollar bottle of your Arabian Liniment, which will be enough, I think, to complete ly cure my dear child. I nave often thought that I would sit down and furnish you with an account of my poor child's situation, so that you might make it public, and thus be the cause of as much benefit to some others of my fellow beings as it has been to me. She laid for six months without the slightest power or control of her limbs whatever, and suffered the most agonizing pain th« greater portion of tho time. Even her neck was perfectly stiff, and so painful that she could not bear to have her head moved in the least. Thus was she for six months, during all which time wo had to carry her about on a chair when she wished to change her place. We had three of the best physicians in the whole country attending her, but they could do her no good. Finally, one of them (the last to give her up) said he could do no more for her. and (hat, as I wished to got your Liniment, I could do so, adding that he Knew it was g°od« and might help her. I got it accordingly, and she began to recover after a few applications. She can now use all of her limbs freely, and can walk tolerably well. We are now applying it over the spine, which the doctors say is \he seat ot the disease, and wu expect ono bottle more to cure her as well as ever she was. We have used it also for sprains, bruises, burns and cuts, with like success. Hoping that thisgreat remedy will be spread over the whole country. I am yours truly
