FROM THE BOSTON STATESMAN. LIFli's HOURS. Youth has its hour how bright a one ! How its rich hopes delight the breast; How pure the ray of Pleasure's sun Which makes the guileless spirit blest ! A sweeter li;htis pour'd on earth, Than e'er to Manhood's year is civen, Ihirsiin the gladsome fount ot niirih. With dreams, whose charm te born in heaven ! Joy hath its hr:r ere cure has won The pearls from Hope's enchanted cup: Before their fatal mile is done, In cold oblivion swallowed up; Vac yet the holy livjht has ilcd. Which streams o'er Fancy's colouring. Or Fate the riarkcnhigpall hath spread Upon licr proud and spotless wing! IiOvr. hath its hor r radicnt spell, To fling around the heart and brain; Housing deep thought from Feeling's well To gild its warm and lad domain! Aglow, asiiMset cloud, whose light Fades in the wave it Hits above; Waking the soul to memories bright The lip to song :ud this is Love! GniKF hath its hour when musing back Of early buds, whose bloom is lied; Of love, whose gladdened childhoodV track, Which slumbers with the dreamless dead: Of voices on the bieere ot night Like those which yi u'tg r:;iMen e gave, Kre cloud:; had '"becked the golden light, "VVMdi LhUne upon lime's pictured wave! Pracf. hath its hour when Nature's voice

Sp-:aks to the sad and wayward heartShe bids the wasted breast rejoice. And its deep bitfern.es' depart : Far hills the gladif s, of the sky The green spray, vvhci e the rummer-bird Wakes its entrancing melody O'er the rills babbling cadence heard. These spread, with untold eloquence, Their gloty to the obsei v ant eye, Till shadow;, care u banished hence; Tdl the eye swims is extacy ! And by this voice, whose v ievvlcss tone Sterns to the soul in men y given. The spirit learns to trust alone, Its hopes and fears with Ciod heaven. v.c.c.

MVc arc pleased with the course taken by the Legislature, and hope it will have the effect to stimulate our Congressmen to exert themselves with more zeal and effect than heretofore.

undeniably plain to anyunprejudiccd reasoncr, when he considers, that calomel throws the liver (as also every other gland) into enormous morbid action. Such action can exist no where in the human machine for any length of time, wthout producing t?i dived debility of the organ on which it trespasses. Though it does not relieve, as a stimulus upon the slog

gish liver, as long as it is taken in mild

form, and very small quantity ; yet even then it is ixpalliulhc only, which must in reality increase the cause which it was originally given to rc move. Thus the belching hypochondriac hugs in the box with the blue pills, his very grave digger and embraces in the dear calomel, the vulture that gnaws his liver. It w ould be a very cowardly kind of modesty, not to adverse here to the world, that a method of cure, without mercury, has been pursued by myself and

mv son, which hardly ever vet has failed to restore, the liver digestive organs to a permanent health. Another disease, which threatens to depopulate the world, has its orig

undoubtedly produces, (salivation) must, and will ever after remain in a state of morbid irregularity. Either the system ot absorbents is torpid, & that dropsy must follow ; or it is in a morbid state of chronic excessive ae tion; emulation must be. the consequence, when there is more pulled

down than built up, more absorbed i

than reproduced. The excessive quantity of lympha thus thrown into the circulation is deposited on the weakest part the luns most Ire quently. The nomeroussmall glands, which line the bronchiae, secrete mucus, lympha more copious and more acrid than natural, and cough, tubercular phthisic, hectic fever from the absorbition of the viciatcd lympha, and death are the necessary consequences. What will my reader

think of the present state of the medi

cal practice, when he shall be told, that under the circumstances just now related, mercury and salivation are r .' used as icmedies in pulmonary con sumption, of which they arc the cause!! 01 course t never saw one recover by them ; on the contrary, the patient runs to his grave in a gal loping consumption. My gentle reader mav rest assured, that there are other & far better means in existence, which will in many cases cure this hitherto deemed incurable disease. 31 y gentlemen co-pratctition-ers will, I hope, not get mad, when I tell the people, that without any mercury, I have been frequently sue ccssful in restoring consumptive patients, as long as the disease is, (as it is frequently) as yet merely lymphatic. In the venereal disease, a most sav-

ai?;e havoc is made among the healths and lives of the pitiable votaries of Cupido and Venus. It being ascertained that mercury is here the only remedy if it should not rather be I called palliative, for the venereal dis

ease is never perfectly cured that potent poison is thrown into the system by every imaginable means, and

j with unsparing hands, till very frequently the specific mcrcureal ulcers arc produced, which are the more incurable for being mistaken by the Quack for venereal ulcers, and treatled with more more mercury, till

the sufferer is a rotten carcase, before

plaints & dispepsias, certainly at least three eases out of four, is owing to the abuse of calomel. This must be

tance to Louisiana. The culpable negligence of the General Govern meat with regard to our public lands,

That it is deemed a matter of the utmost importance to the interest of the State, that it should have & possess the sole & exclusive jurisdiction of the unappropriated lands within its limits, in order that internal improvements may be promoted and emigration increased.

Uesolvcd, That while the federal government shall continue to claim sovereignty over a large portion of the soil of the State, with its tardy operations in disposing of the same to individuals, and the high prices stipulated in the terms of entry, wc shall continue to behold the younger mem bersofthis republic outstripping us in population, improvements and in the arts. Resolved, That inasmuch as a por tion of our citizens hold lands under adverse and unsettled titles, the vital object of defence against the inundation of our streams, and the obiect

common to man, of rendering better his condition, are both retarded and

repressed.

a Resolved, That our Senators in Congress be instructed, & our Uep rescntatives requested to exert their utmost abilities to obtain from the

1 federal government a cession to this

State of the public &, unappropriated lands claimed by the United Stales at as early a period, and on such terms as may be beneficial to the State. & advantageous to our citizens. Resolved, That the Governor of the State, be requested to transmit a copy of these resolutions to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress. Approved, December 22, 1828.

Ohio, in the United States, is not to discuss the truth or falsehood of the Christian religion, as slated in the Scotsman, but to ascertain the errors in all religions, which prevent them from being efficacious in practice & to bring out all that is teally valuable in each, leaving out their errors, and

thus to form from them collectively

a religion wholly true and consistent, that it may become universal, and be acted upon conscientiously by all. Neither is it my intention to move finally from this country, as stated in the Scotsman. On the contrary. I have purposely made arrangements to be, without inconvenience, in any part of the world in which my earnest endeavours to ameliorate the present condition of society shall appear to he the most useful, as I do not entertain the least doubt of an entire change being near at hand, in the commer

cial, political, and religious polity of

I all nations.

The very small amount of benefits that is effected for the great mass of mankind, with the extraordinary powers for ensuring general prosper ity, united with the daily growing intelligence of the population, in civilized countries, render, 1 think, this change, not only unavoidable, but not very distant.
