and if success in inter-national intercourse serves to characterize the Presidential incumbent, Andrew Jackson must stand confessed as one who has never had a superior. In exemplification of this position a recurrence to the treaties and tliploivatir arrangements effected with Eagland, Dcnm trk, Brazil, F ranee, Russia, Austria and Mexico, and also, our commercial advantages conceded by Naples and S; tin, all concluded within the short period before mentioned, will produce the conviction that a full reliance upon the integrity and honesty of the President, and a perfect accordance with the sent'nnents of his message to Con
gress, have induced those foreign nations to hail us with friendship and to extend to us
the advantages ot the most favoured nations; whereby we are placed upon that

The long agitated and mystified subject
of the tanfi is at length beginning to be (lis

the learned and well born had alonr a right to investigate. Tle "Judicious" Tariff ot
Vndrew Jackson is now beinc, acknowledged
on all bunds, as the one winch the American people desire, and when it is remembered
that the deliberately expressed vine ot
"Free I rade Com entions," and of "'1 arn'l
Conventions," united to the last words of President Adams, and the inaugural .sentiments of Ptesident Jackson, all concur in soliciting a "modification" of its objectionable, sectional and oppiessive featuies, the people will discover thai the true "American System" is that which will protect our infant manufactures without granting them monopolies, and which will furnish a sufii cicnt revenue without hoi thening the people with unnecessaiy taxation, dispensing the disbursements from the National Treasury upon objects cf a national character, and thereby improv eing the internal condition of the. country, in such niaune as to stre ngthen the bond of ou- Union and aff oding fucili-

To the Jackson Convention: Gentlkmkn H iving been appointed to i epresent Cass county, and miugie in youi di liberations, and now unexpectedly called tVon public business; permit me to request iat E. A. Hannegan, Esq. lie admitted to jle a seat in the Couv entiuu tu my place, as
fellow-citizens will consent' to lend his ener
gies and experience in furtherance of his patriotic purposes, should they again signify such a desire As evidences of the wisdom, sagacity and patriotism of the present administration, we can, fortunately, refer, you to its many and diversified acts, and, in addition to this reference, to the principles and policy which it has adopted, and pursued, a-d which poli
cy mav be regarded as the land-marks cf
its tuture operations. The foreign intercourse of the United States has always been esteemed the rnost intricate and complex part of its political machinery, and the people have considered the diplomatic talents of a Chief Magistrate
as the most essential trait in his ch iracter. When Andrew Jac kson was inaugurated as
President, on the 4'h ot M uch, 1H;9, he found this department rf the Government
in a singular state of uncertainty, and almost every nation of the world having unsettled .lifficultics with our Government. Under this state of public affairs, our com 'tierce w s depressed, manufacture's were languishing, and agriculture .suffering for an outlet
tor its products; and necessarily a wantot enterprise in the community atal a scarcity of a circulating medium If the merchant ovvued a ship she w as laid up in ordinary fur the want of a profitable trade, ai d the timber in our ship yards was rotting on the stocks, and the industrious mech mic sat folding his hands for the want cf induce meat or opportunity to labor. I he farmer must content himself with baiely pn.ducingtnoiish for the consumption of hisfami ly, and his lands were uncultivated f r the icasonthat he found no market for his surplus articles. The shop of the mechanic was measureably deserted, and the scarcity of money compelled him to abandon his business, or to content himself with the dull
prospect i t supplying only the casual de-
ties tor its uetence trom toreigu aggression or invasion The speedy payment of the National debt has long been a great object with the people, and thev will doubtlessly hail with acclamation the annunciation of the fact, that Andtew Jackson has brought the financial concerns of the country to such a prosperous state, that he inr possesses the means, with the assistance of Congress, to fulfil all the regular and incidental engagements of the government, and to liquidate the last cent of this debt, which has hung l.ke and incubus upon our energies siiK e the infancy ot the nation, within the pi tsent year. The policy of the removal of the Indian tribes from within the limits of the states in
which they now reside to pemianent homes west of the Mississippi, has received the
sanction of the philanthropist and humane christian, and the policy of Monroe, Adams, Calhoun, Barbour and Poner, which has been so humanely cousumuied in part by General Jackson, by and with the consent of the Indians, is now only opposed by fanatics, and those who sc in to think it their duty to oppose any measure which the govenrment may favor. The com. try has settled down, in a great degree approving the government which exists, and unless an individual could be selected who would guard with mure vigilance the vested rights of the states, who would inspire a mote perfect confidence in his impartiality to all portions of the Union, and to the various interests of its country; who would guard and oppose with more assiduity any attempts to alienate ary portion of these United States from the general confederacy; who would more zealously repulse any act of consolidation or nullification, and require a more strict accountability from all public officers and agents, then no individual should be preferred before the venerable and hoary headed patriot of the Revolution, who for the last time will call upon his country to sustain him. The limits of an address will not permit us. argumentativcly, to lay before you other weighty reasons w hich exists for a general suppoitcf Andrew Jackson at the coming presidential election; but it is confidently ho ped that the few which are given above, will be sufficient to cause every republican
citizen to act prudently and patriotically, and that if he even entertain prejudices, he-
may be constrained to sacrifice them at the
altar cf public good, and to join. the millions
who will again give their suffrages to him whom the people delight to honor, and w ho has honored his country. b th in the field of battle and in the chair cf State.
As friends cf our common country, as
patriots and as republicans, we have weigh ed the matters laid before vou, and w e have
presented for our suffrages, as electors ( t President and Vice President, the names of Gectge IV on, of Sullivan county, James
Blake, rf Marion: Arther Patterson, oi

Rcsclvrd, That we approve of the meas
ures of the piesent administration, and es
pecially the late change of the Cabinet, the
payment of the National debt, the removal of the Indians, and the rigid system of economy and accountability, eifected and re-commended by our present rovered President, Andiew Jackson. Resolved, That the present Chief Magistrate: in viehlme to the solicitations of his
U friends, to serve another term, is not transcending any limitsestablished by the Republican pa ty, but acting on approved precedent; ; Mol ding the only true mears f testing the utility and wisdom of his measures and vindicating his character from ui just aspersions. Resolved, That th's convention do hereby appoint the Hon. John Tipton, Hon. R-itlilT
Boone, Hon. Jonathan McCarty, Hon. John Carr, and General Samuel Milroy, as delegates of the State of Indiana, to attend the meeting of the proposed Convention to be held at B dtimnrc during the ensuing spring, for the purpose of selecting a suitable person to be run for Vice President of the United States on the Picket with Andrew Jackson. Which reports were severally unanimously cone tirred in. . On motion of W. C. Foster, it was Resolved That a committee cf three from each Judicial Citcnit, be appointed to select r

In order to stop the hen o r hae. it is only necessary lo apply a pledget of lint, saturated with the liquid, winch it is required to lasun round the nc ck, in order to prevent its failing c.fl by it proper weight. In i lie last txpciimem halt the lint dropt off ten minutes after its application, while the sheep was eating;

The effecis is at once visib.e. All the experiments which have been made under cur own eyes have been perfectly satkfactoty. A recent fact that occurred within our own practice, gives us an additional and foicible proot of the efficacy ot the remedy in question We weie called in last night to visit piofessionaliy, & young man. eighteen yea; s of age, who tad been stiffciing for twtn y lour hour from a hemorrhage from ihe -dvto aty arteiy ot ihe lower jaw, in conseqt.e nco ot the cxtiation of a tooth, ai d f.om

A quantity ws obtained, ard immediately used, by putting a small pledget upon the aitaiy li-um whence tho blood issued, at d another on the external edge of the lower jaw, and in seven minutes the hemorrhage wag completely stopped. Twen-ylour hours have since passed, and though the pledget had been removed the bleeding has not returned. Other instances will probably shortly induce us to return to this important discover. The organic change made in the wounded blood vessel, and wbirh prevents the continuance of the tffusion is iery remarkable. The direction of the wound is ficquently altered.
