THE TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 3.
To the Whigs of the State of New-York.
The publishers of tbe Albany Argus having advertised as
Extra Edition of their Weekly paper for genera! dSsemina
tion through the State, in vie w of the approaching Election,
the publishers of The New York Tarne?, at the sugges?
tion of a few friends ef lb* ?ood Cause, bare been induced
ao submit to their Whig brethren the propriety ol issuing
an Extra Edition of T? Wreict-v T?'?""
We make this announcement with some reluctance, in
Tiew of the hardness of tbe times and the embarrassments
wbich we doubt oot are share*, by our fnetid. of the W big
Country Press. Nobly bare tbey deserved of their fellow
eitiiens; meagre enoogbbas too commonly l^en their re?
gard; and if we believed the issue of an Extra Tnbune
calculated seriously to diminish their circulation or support
we should decline it- We think, however, experience has
??roved that sncb is not the effect, and that the widest circu?
lation of the City and Country journals i* usually found to
co-exist in the same Counties and at the same period.
The Issue of an Extra Argus, which will of ceurse 1*?
forced into general perusal through all the machinery of
'the Party;' tbe great importance of the pending struggle
in this State, which is calculated to exert an important infla
ence over the shape as well as the result of the Presidential
contest; the pendency of the great and vital question* ol
PaeTECTioN to America.;? Labor and the prosecution of
Internal Improvement, all give to the approaching elec?
tion of Governor, MemlwTS of Congress, and Legislature,
(which last is to elect a U. S Senator for six years ensuing,)
? gravity and importance which can hardly be over-esti?
mated. Whether the issue of an Extra Edition of the
"Weekly Tribune is calculated to aid in procuring a just and
beneficent Popular Decision of these weighty topics is a
question which the Whigs of tbe State will determine.
The Extra Tribune (corresponding precisely with our
usual Weekly edition) will be commenced on the first Sat
orday in September, and issued regularly for thirteen
weeks thereafter, or until the result of the State Election
shall have been fully ascertained and declared. It will be
auroiue? ?i the following rates:
For 1 copy....uuree months). o9c.

and any larger number in the last proportion.
The Weekly 1 KiBUNE.it rmiy be remembered, is just
ttaice the r-lze of 'The Log Cabin' of 18-10, and contains
mere than twice tbe matter, though charged but the same
postage. It will there/ore be fully as cbe^p as that well
known paper. It will ardently advocate tbe Protection
of American Labor, tbe vigorous prosecution of our
Internal Improvements not by grudging and malignin
foes, hut by consistent and zealous friends; and the election
of Henry Clay as next President.
Payment in advance will be inflexibly insisted on. Sub?

The Want of Employment.
To the Editor of The Tribune:
Your well known sympathy with the industrious classes
renders it unnecessary lor me to apologize to you for in?
truding a moment.
I would Hsk you, simply, what me* are to do who have
been, by the vicissitude of these times, thrown out of em?
ploy. 1 know, independent ot my own case, numbers of
others, with temperate habits, indastrious di-posions, com?
mon, but usetul education, who, now, in summer,sun>r./br
food; not because they are t? blame through negligence,
out because th?y cannot find a day's work to do, at any
price.?Men with wives?children too?who know not, when
they lie down at night, whence coiueth tha food tot to-mor?
row ; men, who daily perambulate the business avenaes of
this city begging for employment, but hopelessly, to return
to their ttaying placcs~\lUt:y cannot be called Homes, for
that word implies happiness,)?to mingle tears and sighs
with their suffering group.
What is to be done lor us ? A cold Winter stares us in the
face; hope nearly blasted, though while lite lasts. Hope,
though tteeped in misery, livetb.
What is to be done mr us r For a long time we have wait?
ed, lingering in tbe belie! that our Government would so
act as to relieve us; but alas, thuthope tails us. Our Liberty!
almost a mockery slaves to hunger, want oj labor and ne?
glect?what shall we do? We would drive out ol our hearts
evil thoughts; butcold,hunger?shivcnng.starvingchildren
will drive the stoutest to despair. Flead torus! plead lor
us!?beg our Rulers to help us. A Discharged Clerk..
[CP Our friend doubtless wishes us to give our
opinion as to what those in his unfortunatecircum
stanccs shall do to escape the evils which now
threaten and afflict them; and on this point we
can only repeat the advice we have given them so
many times during the last five years. Wo say
to overy man unemployed in our Cities, ' Do not
?tay here a day longer than you are obliged to,
but co into thk Country?not into some smaller
mart of Commerce, unless you have a promise of
work there, but really into the Country. If you
have disregarded this advice until your means are
entirely exhausted, borrow ten dollars of some
more fortunate friend or friends?twenty if you
have a family?and bargain with some forwarder
here to take you to Chautauqne County, Erie,
Pa., Cleveland or some other Ohio port?Michi?
gan City, or Milwaukie. if you can afford to go so
far. (Transportation is exceedingly cheap at
present.) Go where you have a friend, if you
have any in an improving part of tho country, and
ask him to help yau find something to do; if you
have none, strike out boldly for yourself. Do n't
Wait to find a clerkship, but look out for a school,
or a job of any sort, if you are so helpless as to be
entirely ignorant of Farming and all Mechanic
arts. Do n't remain idle a day if you can honestly
?am a tpiarter of a dollar, and think no employ?
ment dishonorable that is necessary or useful to
your fellow men But keep your eyes on the main
chance of getting hold of a piece of land and the
means of cultivating it as soon as possible, aud
then you may cease to dread the approach of winter
or vainly beg permission to earn bread for your
families.
This is our first advice; the second part of it
is this : Let tho unemployed combine to remove
to some more favorable location?that is, let A.
B. who is in want of employment, speak to C. D.
who is in like circumstances, and he to another,
whom he knows to be honest aad worthy; and so
let a hundred or two be gathered, who will agree
to go together. One hundred men or families
would be transported to any point for one-half
what it would cost them soparatoly, and much
more comfortably than each alone; and they could
aid each other in locating and in living meantime.
Such a band of upright, deserving, willing immi?
grants woald be regarded as an acquisition in any
aew country, and treated accordingly. They could
procure lands on credit if they required, but not at
cash prices.
If they could be so united in mutual esteem and
trust as to ngreo to prosecute their labors in com?
mon, on the plan proposed by Fourier, wo arc con?
fident that would greatly conduce to their welfare
and speody enfranchisement from poverty, but we
will not here press this point.
Neither will we here descant on tho causes
which have reduced so many to want and now de?
prive them of employment. That is a theme too
Vast for such an essay. We are treating it from
day to day as we can. We are confident there will
be a sensible improvement in business, even this
fell, if a good Tariff is enacted; there would be
?till more if a National Currency were created?
but of this there is for tbe present no hope. Still,
the commercial and general excesses of tho Pet
Bank years, 1834-5-6, have diverted thousands
from Productive Industry to intermediate employ?
ments, like selling goods, which can never support
them all in a healthy state of things. There must
be more producers of wealth and fewer exchangers
or mere consumers; and those who wait and wait
to be employed in mercantile pursuits are certain
to be disappointed.-Finally, frie.ds, resolve
quickly; then act! [EJm Tribune. ,

I Tj Iht Editor of The Tribune :
Not many years ago an extensive and wealthy
' farmer sirnamed York, lived in the vicinity of a
large Tillage, which he supplied with the products
of bis farm, upon which he raised every thing
that the soil produced in its latitude. His mills
and granaries excelled in extent those of his
neighbors for many miles around. Though his
intercourse with the village was by a very circui?
tous route, yet he retained its trade because none
nearer to it cwuld present tho ?amn advantages in
competition with him. He employed an immense
number of hands who were totally dependent upon
the successful continuation of bis business.
Neighbor Jones, a man of less means, was lo
eated on a farm of smaller dimensions than far?
mer York's, and at a greater distance from the
village in a more easterly direction. He was a
man of very enterprizing character, who never
grudged the expenditure or investment of a dollar,
that was likely to return him four fold. His
greatest fault was, that success in any undertaking
made him proud and boastful. It was an innocent
weakness, however, which farmer York?feeling
his own importance and superiorityonly?smiled at.
Neighbor Jones was fond of calculating, which
disposition, aided by a natural shrewdness?in?
herent in his family?suggested the idea of com?
peting with his wealthy neighbor. He saw at a
glance that a direct communication from his farm
to tho village shorter thaa that which led from
thence to farmer York's would enable him to do so
successfully, by throwing in his way a portion of
the village trade. His credit being good, be bor?
rowed money enough to nw"""** ?* *?*nrlsome
Macadamircd rood leading to the village " as
straight as a bee line." The result was that the
villagers begun to visit him, and he offered them
such inducements in bargains, that his trade with
them soon exceeded his most sanguine expecta?
tions. His profits 'ere long enabled him to en?
large his farm and multiply the number of his la?
borer?. Whenever he passed over his Macada?
mized road?which had become the pride of his
heart?he chuckled o%*er his success, and enjoyed
the advantage that he was daily reaping over his
rich neighbor.
Farmer York soon discovered a sad decrease in
his trade: he had realiied its benefits for so long a
poriod, that he considered them his by a natural
right that none would ever infringe upon. Many
persons whose interests were identified with his,
pointed out to him the causu of the change which
he complained of so sadly. They urged him to
construct another route to tho village still shorter
tihan his rival's. But no, he lacked the pume en?
terprizing spirit that Jones possessed, and stub?
bornly insisted that owing tt? the state of his trade,
ho could cot afford tho expense of such an im?
provement. They endeavored impress upon
him the fact that the investment of a small sum in
proportion to his means, would resuscitate his bu?
siness and mako it more prosperous than ever ; lor
the village was rapidly increasing in population,
and its dealings would augment proportionably.
His good sense and regard for his own interests
:ould not be roused; and unwilling to listen to
reason, he was soon compelled to submit to the
necessity of cultivating a smaller farm, of stopping
his mills, closing his granaries and dismissing his
laborers.
Neighbor Jones grew rich and proud, and when
isked how it was that he had despoiled farmer
York of the village trade, he boastingly pointed
o his Macadamized road.
Tbe citizens of New-York are constantly urged
10 preserve their trade withi?to mighty Wost, by
constructing the New-York and Erie Railroad;
md they refuse to act, notwithstanding the rapid
strides that their neighbor Boston is meritoriously
making to deprive them of it. They will soon be
in Furmer York's condition, and Boston will then
point to the cause of her greatness.
It is truly astonishing what a deep-seated leth?
argy pervades our city with respect to a subject of
the deep importance of the Erie Railroad?a city
which has heretofore commanded a trade of suffi?
cient powor to build up in a few years a mighty
emporium like this. If its inhabitants would
really know whence proceeds its present great?
ness, withdraw from her the trade of that vast
western region, and they will be answered; by our
ships being without cargoes, our homos without
tenants, our merchants without business, and want,
and beggary, with their sad .companions?misery
and crime?exhibiting their haggard forms in every
thoroughfare of our metropolis. Do the people
cf this city intend to desert their interests with
paralytic weakness ? Will they quietly permit
their present greatness and competency to be
gradually wasted, without using such preventive
measures as are ccrtuin in their effects und wit]
tend not only to arrest their downfall, but will
givo a renewed impetus to an onward and meri?
torious career of prosperity ? We are ah cud\
beginning to witness tbe distinctive effects of su
pineness and evil legislation, and without action
they will be irrevocably fastened upox us. If we
continue to send to our State Councils, legislators
who?more wedded to party than to patriotism?
care not for the distinction of tbe farm fabric that /
Commerce exultitigly peints at as her handiwork,
the period is not distant when the emptiness of
our warehouses and our deserted wharfs will ex?
cite tho question,?whence proceeds this desola?
tion, where activity and prosperity once held uni?
versal sway ?
Great results, that steal upon us almost imper?
ceptibly, often hinge upou events, that are viewed
as but trifles, until their consequences are known
and deeply felt. Cities have been supplanted by
neighboring enterprize and have gradually fallen
into irremediable decay, whilst their inhabitants
were listlessly dreaming of increasing greatness.
The prosperity of this city depends entirely upon
her Trade and Commerce. They are the nourish?
ment that sustains her; deprive her of them, and
a cankering disease will soon penetrate her vitals,
leaving naught in its path but the melancholy
wreck of her boasted greatness. She is surrounded
by powerful and ambitious evils. To guard against
them, her interests should be narrowly watched
by every iahabitant without respect to profession
or employment. All aro alike interested in ber
welfare and rise or fall with ber.
Tho construction of a direct avenue to those
upon whom we depend for our trade is absolutely
and immediately required, The question skatl it
be constructed f should be met by a universal
affirmative. Let that affirmative be given, and !
nothing more will be required than Action..

Attraction* Proportional to I>estinie*.
[Concluded.] j
From our constantly asserting that the Passions
and Attractions are good, it may be inferred that
we include such ftdse and penrerted emotions as
envy, hatred, jealousy, revenge. Such however
is not the case; they are perverted devolopements
of certain true Passions, and great care should be
taken not to confound suck developements with
the true passion? themselves.
The Passions may be misdirected, or they may
be falsely developed, and in both cases they pro?
duce disastrous results. Napoleon,5 Ambition, di?
rected to war, deluged Europe with blood. Had
it been directed differently?to internal improve?
ments for example?the same ardent Passion, to?
gether with the enthuriasm ho knew how to com?
municate to his enterprises, would have covered
France and even Europe with valuable works of
art and the greatest improvements. Thus two op?
posite etfects may be produced by the same Pas?
sion, and it is to be remarked that the stronger
the Passion the greater the resaits, either for good
or evil, which follow. The above is an example
of a Passion misdirected; we will choose one to
exemplify a Passion falsely dcvoloped, and pro?
ducing in its reaction perverted emotions. A man
may place his affections on a woman, and see his
happiness in a union with her; the Passion love
becomes the cbi ' of his life ; but if some lago
crosspi? his path . by undue means thwarts his
expectations am ..roys his hopes, his Pnssion
changes its direction, changes to hatred or jeal?
ousy, and vents itself by seeking revenge on the
being who has wronged him.
It may be laid down as a general rule that any
Passion which is suddenly arrested, thwarted, oat
raged or disappointed in its coarse, takes a false
or perverted developcment or direction, and turns
to enmity, jealousy, revenge, antipathy, regret,
and sometimes to despair and insanity.
The Passions of men are at present all more or
less smethered, tantalized, thwarted or misdi?
rected ; and it is for that reason that we find, not
only so many criminals, but descending to a lower
sphere of perversion, so many drunken, quarrel?
some, scolding, petulent, back-biting creature*,
whose unaccountable freaks can only be understood
by those who possess a knowledge of the two?
fold mode of action of the passions?or of their
true and false developcment The discordant and
perverted play of those springs *? action is car?
ried to a higher pitch in Civilization thun in the
Savage and Barbarian societies, because its me?
chanism is more complicated, and because there
is a broader dovelofcment of the Passions to be
acted upon. But it is certain, that as great as
are the Discord and Duplicity which reign in the
present state of things, as great will be the Har?
mony and Unity in a social system perfectly
adapted to the Passions or human nature.
The law of Attractions Proportional to Desti?
nies, is an important proof in the question of the
Immortality of the Soul. The desire of immor?
tality, it isevident, is a collective attraction of the
human race; it. is found existing among all na?
tions and at all epochs. If the Creator be just
in (he distribution of Attractions, why would he
have given us a desire, which he did not intend
should be satisfied ??and why have given us intel?
ligence to comprehend the system of the Uni?
verse, witaeuf the privilege of participating in its
higher spheres and existences? Bad he dented]
us the gift of immortality, he would have violated
his law of economy, wbich extends to tbe pas- j
sional or spiritual world, and have tantalized use?
lessly one of his creatures.*
Why should there not be economy in the pas?
sional or spiritual, as well as in the material
world ? Why should the Creator have given us
useless Passions and Attractions, any more than
useless members, useless bones or muscles? Phi?
losophers and Moralists suppose that the Pussions
are naturally depraved and vicious ; whereas thev
are at present merely perverted ; they mistake,
however, their pers-erted action for their true
natural. They believe that our Passions arc our en?
emies, which supposes that God, who created them,
ia also our enemy.
The examples contained in the last article are
sufficient to give us an insight into the Law of an
adaptation of Attractions to Destinies, a knowledge
of which is an indispensable guide in the study of
the destiny of all beings. Great care,however, should
be taken not to confound faUe, temporary and
I errcrled Passions or Attractions with those es?
sential or true ones, which Nature distributes.?
In the study of man. we shall find that society so
perverts his nature, that a vast number of vitiated
tastes and depraved attractions are developed
within him. We must not commit the error to
suppose that there is a desttny proportional to j
those passi-nal pert1 rsior.s, to suppose, for ex?
ample, that a man who has a love foi intoxication,
was destined by Nature to be a drunkard; or that
some men were destined to he thieves, because
there are individuals in our societies who steal.?
An intelligent discrimination is necessary in sepa?
rating true and collective attractions from acci?
dental and deranged developements of passions.
Those collective und universal Attract ons and
Impulses, which we find existing at ull times, and
common to all Mankind, are oracles of truth?ate
an Index placed within us by a higher Hand,
which potnt us invariably toward our Destiny, as
the magnet points toward the pole. Our collect?
ive Attractions ate expressions of the Intention
of the Creator, who has eiren them to us. and
ice may therefore say, that they are a peimanent
revelation within us of his will. They impel us
en to fulfil our Destiny ; and in a tntc Social Or?
der they would direct us rightly in embellishing
material nature, in living in harmony with our fel?
low creatures, and in communing nobly with God
and his universal creation.
Had the Cieator de-tined us to the present So- i
cial System, he ought to have given us Attrac?
tions for the poverty, injustice and monotony which
exist in it, and which are the unavoidable lot of
the great majority, so that we would have found
our happiness in them Bat it is in tb?; revolt of
the Pussions against our odious societies, that we
find a condemnation of those societies, and a proof
that they are NOT the Social Destiny of Man.
If we attribute; solely to tho Passions the Tices,
crimes and di.-orders of socicy. we must suppose
that the Creator has given the Human Race At?
tractions for vice, crime and discord. In so doing
he would have violated all his laws of order and
harmony, and placed man a demoniac being in the
midst of bis creation.
The condemnation of human nature in order to j
exculpate society, has been a universal error of j
Moralists, Philosophers and Politicians. It is j
time it was rectified ; man, the Woke of the Di?
vinity, should become the standard by which the
social organization should be judged ; be should
not be sacrificed to, nor measured by the :-tandurd
of our ari'iirary ?orieties and fu!*e institutions?
1 he work of accidental circumstances and human
Legislation.
Every epoch believes its ovm form of society
good ; and this belief which is found alike strong
with the Savage, Barbarian and civilized Man, is
one of those collective prejudices which mark tbe
ignorance of the Human Race cf the principles ot
a true social order. It has the effect of condemn?
ing all those Passions and Attractions which hap?
pen to conflict with the laws cf the reigning form
of Society, as depraved asd vicious. Constraint
and repression have therefore become of necessity
the controlling or governing power of human so?
cieties : and we may say that up to the present
lime the whole social science of Mankind has
b*y?n to combat against human natur* and tne
passion*. The result has (??n to degrade Man
in his own eyes, and sanction the doctrine of
man perversity. This fatal error, this outrage
against the Anthor of the passions, has become
the broad principle upon which a series of socie?
ties has been based, whose deplorable practical
results, such as Ignorance. Fraud. Oppression and
Carnage, are faithful developements of their false
foundation. -
The Proridenec or God i? Universal, and
extend* to the Social Organization as
well as to the material Worte!,
If the Creator has assigned to Man the noble
function of OVERSEER of the Globe ; if he has
intrusted to him the cultivation of its surface, the
beautifying of material Nature, and regulation of
the vast scale of Creation, which extends from him
down through so many series to inert matter,?if
the Creator has done all this, is ? not probable
that he has included in his providential fore?
sight the Organization of Society, which directs
Man rightly or wrongly in his career on this earth ?
The system of Society exercises an immense influ?
ence upon the beings who live under it. Our r resent
false Societies direct the Human Race to Conflicts
of all kinds, and to War, whereas Association
would produce Concert of Action and Unity o1"
Interests, ?,?1 direct them to tbe fulfilment of
their Destiny.
The Providence of God extends to the Social
as veil as to the Material World. He has not
given us a moral and physical organization un
suited to our terrestrial Destiny; he has not given
us Passions as an impelling power, without adapt?
ing them to a system of Society which would em
j
ploy them usefully and produce Order and Harmony, l
Industry, viewed in its noblest application, is the
great means by which Man accomplishes his trust
of Overseer. Destined to it, placed upon the earth
to exercise it, how can we suppose for a moment J
that the Creator has not adapted his Passions, In?
stincts and Attractions to it, and to its occupations,
which he knew would occupy so important a por?
tion of Man's life. Can we reasonably suppose that
he intendud it should be exercised in the present
repugnant, monotonous and degrading manner?a
scourge to the laboring populations on whom its
burden fails 7
" God aloue," says Fourier, " is invested with
the power of distributing Attraction; he wishes
to guide the Universe and his creatures only by
attraction : and to attach us to Industry?that is,
agricultural and manufacturing Labor?he has
composed a system of Attractive Industry,
which, onco organized, will give a charm to our
industrial occupations, and attach to them entice?
ments greater than are those of balls and theatres
at present;?in other words, people in Association
will find so much that is pleasing and stimulating
in their branches of work, exercised in groups,
that they would not leave them for amusments,
like the above, proposed during the hours of their
industrial occupations."
'* Up to die present time our political and naurul
sciences have not dreamed of rendering Industry
a^racu've : to enchain the Mass to labor, they have
discovered no other moans, after Slavery, than the
fi-ar of want and starvation ; if, however, Industry
is tho destiny which is assigned to us by the Creator,
how can wu think he would wish to force us to it
by violence, and that he has not known how to
put in play some more noble lever, some stimu?
lant capable of transforming its occupations into
pleasures."
It must be so ; and let Man comprehend that the
Providence of the Divinity extends to the social, as
well as to the material world,?that he has pre
calculated a system of Society adapted to Man,
and which, when enco discovered and established,
will direct him rightly on the earth, and human
intelligence will have made an important progress.
It will stand upon a foundation where it can judge
calmly the question of a great social change?a
question which cannot note be judged, because
the minds of men are obscured by a mass of preju?
dices relating to the depravity of Human Nuture,
and the eternal continuance of Evil, and because
they have not integral faith in the universality of
God's Providence.
Man is a compound being, possessed of Passions
and Attractions, and a complicated physical
organization. These elements of the human
machine were not created at random, without
method and order, and with all the chances of
j their being perpetually in conflict and discord
I with each other. Suppose a machinist were to
j construct a machine without any plan, muking its
' wheels and springs without calculating their uses;
I would we not believe him crazy? How, then,
I think that the great Mechanist of the Universe
has given us those powerful impulses, those
springs of action called Passions, without calcu?
lating their effects,?without adapting them to
some Social Order, preexisting in bis divine Intel?
ligence, which would make use of them all, aa so
many parts of a perfect mechanism !
It cannot be otherwise: " having the experience
of miliions of worlds anteriorly created," he cal?
culated with mathematical precision the action und
developments of those Passions. If they are at
present condemned as depraved and vicious, it is
because Seieoee hu? not discovered the Social Or?
der intended for them, and has considered their
false development in our defective Societies as
their true nature.
It must be acknowledged, however, that Science
has committed a most puerile error in expressing
the unbounded admiration which it has of the per?
fection of Man's physical organization, while it has
condemned on the other bund the Passions and At?
tractions?of which that organization is the imple?
ment merely?as bad and vicious.
Let us draw a simile in a sphere where expe?
rience has set the judgement right. An improper
mode of living deranges, as we know, tbe functions
of the body, and, if continued in, produces disease
and even death. Bad food and bad treatment may
render a child, possessed by nature of a well-made
frame, rickety and otherwise physically deformed.
Reasoning from these examples, it requires no
great effort of the mind to comprehend that a false
system of Society, which has as much influence on
\ the Passings as the food upon the body, may mis?
direct and pervert the Passions in their sphere;
and engender deceit, selfishness and malice in the
place of noble sentiments. Such is the ease; the
Passions were not created for our false Societies;
they were destined to a different social mechanism;
and this truth accounts for tbe universal duplicity
of action, the contradiction in theory and practice,
the discard and injustice, which at present exist.
From populations brooghtup id povertv,harassed
by anxiety, oppressed by monotonous drudgery,
without development of their intellectual faculties,
their entire lives one series of cares and vexa?
tions?which is the condition of tbe vast majority
of the Human Race?what else can be expected,
than beings whose passional or moral nature is
distorted or perverted ?
Legislators, moralists, philosophers and the rich
and great, freed from the burden of Repugnaat In?
dustry and provided with the goods of this earth,
condemn Haman Nature because it will not con?
form to their Social Institutions and undergo
without complaint the Poverty, Drudgery and Pri?
vations to wbleh the pww sinte of things sur^
jects it. The spontaneous seatimerit of justice
and liberty, which burn* like a holy flame within
the human Soul, has reacted, and for the welfare
of Mankind, against those false Institutions; w hich,
had they been submitted to, would have condemned
the Human Race perpetually to the miseries of the

The Back-Handed Veto.
7*o the Editors of t\i Tribune:
Politicians and State?men have of late been
greatly perplexed and puzzled as to where Mr. Tyler
and Gen. Jackson ever found a precedent for sign?
ing and approving a bill and at the same time en?
tering a protest, stating their objections against the
bill.
I am happy in being able to present to you an
account of a similar occurrence, which happened
more than 500 years ago.
In the reign of Edward III., A. D. 1341, after
he had been waging war with France and Scotland,
ho w*? gruatly in want of funds. The parliament
offered the king a grant of twenty thousand sacks
of wool; he wanted more, but his wants were so
urgent, from the clamors of his cieditors, that he
was obliged to accept of the supply, however op?
pressive he considered it. " He ratified thii sta?
tute, in full parliament, but he secretly entered ?*
protest of such a natura as was sufficient to destroy
all future trust and confidence with his people.
After some time had transpired, he issued an edict
declaring that that statute had been exacted con?
trary to law, and he had newer in his own breast
given his assent to it.1'
If we scan the character of the man, do we not
see the same despotic disposition in John Tyler as
in Edward III?
May not John Tyler at some future period at?
tempt an act, if not like the above, at least as much
like it as he wuuld dare to attempt in a republican
country ?
The parliament, that was afterward assembled,
took no notice of the arbitrary exertion of royal
power which, by a parity of reason, left all the
laws at the mercy of the king. After two years
be obtained a legul repeal of the obnoxious
statute.
But, thanks to that honest republican, John
Quincy Adams, who by his foresight and know?
ledge of history, has for ever put the nation
beyond the danger of having the same despotic
act repeated.
If any of your readers should doubt the truth of
she above, I would refer them to the great histo?
rian Hume, who adds:?
" This transaction certainly contains a remark
I able circumstance, which discovert the manners
and sentiments of tho age, and may prove what
inaccurate work might be expected from such
rudo hands, when employed in legislation and in
rearing the delicate fabric of laws and constitu?
tions." Respectfully, G. N.

TO THE WORLD!
Can we for a rr.?meni look upon oar ^Kle-fpread Jffttj
ansl behold the fra.-fn! amount of suffering aud dseaj^^j
there exists, without a Oeling of painful sympathy ?rbrna
in our hearts accompanied with the desire of bestow Ja; ^
lief if we possessed the power.' No, no, .ve cannot; the be.
man heart goes forth to meet its fellow, and extends to nq
tke hand mf sympathy, if aothing more. Tbisraiy ?00 he

But for all the** ill* there has a new ?? d'.-ine dawned
upon the -woeUl;_aa<l ui otTering to th ^w
paration, which has for its object the relief of saffering
haaoaoity, it becomes necessary to state upon what grccvis
;t puts tottb its menu and tbe reasons upon which it founds
its superior claims to die attention of the afflicted, that all
who require its use may repose full confidence in itsrestor*.
tive virtues. But let us introduce our reader more particu?
larly to tili? new preparation, which has alrendr been an?
nounced to tbe public under the name of SANDYS SAR
SAPARILLA
This mediane is tbe result of years of devotion to Itbori
ous chemical experiments in testing various modes of prep*,
??ation, enabling tl.em to coaceatrate in the most efficient
form all the medicinal value of tbe true SnrsaparilU; ana
they have at last accomplished thismo?t desirable result hj
neans of an entirely new, ingeniou? and co?tly apparatus.
The process throughout is governed by stricilr chemical
laws so that the essential principles, or the principles on
whirls the restorative virtues of the Sarwparillad?p?Lds,?re
entirely preserved. This is then combined with other arti?
cles, selected wholly from the vegetable kingdom, all of
which are tbe most p?wertul purifiers of the blood, which
are then concentrated into ?fluid extract that has been found
by experience to possess the important power of immedi?
ately arresting the progress of disease and restoring tbe pa
lien to perfect health. Therefore, those suffering from eh*
ease arising from an iniDore stale of the blood or habits
the System? such as ?bstiaate cutaneous eruptions, rlieoma
tisni, chronic sore eyes, or diseases arising from an injudi?
cious use of mercury', or imprudences in life, have only 10
use this preparation, which has all combined that can be
useful in the removal of their complaints. Combinijd wilt
the other advantages which the preparatiou possesses, tfce
proprietor has reaped the experience of a scientific gen?e
man who resided many years in that country which pro.
duces ibe best, in fact the only true, species of Sarsaparilla,
Tbe proprietors, during tbe many years they have been
engaged in preparing it, have tried hundreds of experi?
ments upon the human system, and have had the pleasure
of witne>sing its happy results in numerous instances; and
they were determined not to offer it to the world until they
bad become thoroughly convinced of its efficacy. Tbej
have now succeeded in preparing a medicine whoserestoo
ive virtues are without a parallel in the history ofn-edicitw,
which fact i. fully >ui>?tantiated by the numerous certifi?
cates and testimonials of cures ot the most difficult kinds of
disease.
This medicine has been prepared for tbe benefit of til
sufieriug mankind, both rich and poor, and to the indigent
poor it will be ^iven without money ami without price, by
their bringing a certificate of their need from the Pastor,
tbe Magistrate or the Alderman of their Ward. And now
let the testimony ol suffering humanity, who are gathering
around it thick and fast, nnd by whose inherent virtues the
lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the a?lictedare
healed, bear witness of its merits. Let it stand or .all by its
own inherent virtues. What It has done ouce it will do
again, and by its use tbe world will be relieved of a v?st
amount of suffering and disease.
Tbe proprietors have made arrangements for spreading
it through the whole United States. That all may have ii
within their reach, it is also their intention to inrrods? it
into the hospitals, int? the alms-bouses, and into all the pub?
lic institution?, wherever enlightened reason may be in?
clined to receive it, which have for their object the suffer
er*S relief. And to the American public the proprietor.
would say, let that medicine which is destined to brinr
health and healing on its wings to its thousands and its Ira
of thousands, receive your favorable consideration?let ill
philanthropists sustain an article which has for its object a>
lief to both rich and poor. As long as the medicine pr>
duces the desired result for which it is adrwinhuered-aad
this has been pioved again and again?Is it not sufficient to
all to administer it in cases where its benign influence oar
shed relief and happiness around the pillow o fsn Oering anl
pain t -
Tbe following cure, at ouce so remarkable, so eilraonfr
nary as almost to surpass belief, has, in order to place is
truth beyond the reach ol suspicion or doubt, beeniwort
to. -tbis 26th day of August, 1842, before his Honor Robert iL
Morris, Mayor of the city of New York.
New.York, August 23,1811
Gentlemen.?A tale of misery and woe is mine to tell, and
as memory ever constant in the task brings back scene* flat
have pa>t, I shudder at the piciure aud alrawst wonder if it
IS >o. For months stretched upon a bed of suffering sod i
distress, racked by the most excruciating pain, damb with
agony?the only voice that come from my lips tbe voiceof j
groaning, and my only hop" despair, **Ttcn and often while j
others slept in the still hours ol" night, I have turned aj
face to the wall und pished to die.
Although I -tood on the brink of eternity and die tcrni
of life was nearly severed, yet I still breathed on, the lamp
he'd out to burn ; I litile thought it would be ev*r trimmed
again, and only hoped that death would swallow uptU }
flame. My sickness was first hroughton by my iinpruiirntlr i
exposing myself to a strongcurrent of air while over bested,
which caused n sudden check of perspiration. My com?
plaint at first seemed light and hardly worth while to ci? t
physician; but 1 soon began to grow worse, nnd a pbjti*
cian was called, who prescribed some pill* containing a <
powerful preparation of mercury.tobe followed by samp*
rilla ro?t and lignum vita: made into a tea, which I conum
ed using for several months without intermission Soosrf
t- k taking tbe mercury I began to feel its poisonoos iafls
ence. My whole glandular system become afectrd.il?
the hones, joints and mu-cles; lumps formed upon tbeiia
nearly as big as an e^g iiccomnaued wltbintetse burning
heat, which kept swelling until they broke, and disebarr?!
matter and blood. These continued to increase onm tiej
covered my whole body. Bnttbli was only the hegianinjf
of my afflictions: now commenced those ualuring t?ni
termed chotnie rht-uiautism. Attimes it seemed as if I??
streiche I upon a rack and all my limbs were beiner t fl
from each other ; at others as if sharp knives w.?re piercuf
me at every point. The inu-cles of my legs saeraea tied in
knots and were as bard as h bone. .My distress was do**
preat that my groans at night disturbed the whole Iks*
and d-o some of the families in the adjacent buildings. It*!
not slept a nigbtsince the early part of December lasiith
only steep 1 obtained wa< a few hours during the middko!
the day pillowed up in a chair, ami the eruption hadii?
fearlully increased. M fare was completely covered
