SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
We h*ve received ilie November Number oj
the Messenger, and glanced at its cortents —
It it not so good a number as that which im
mediately preceded it; yet it amply vindicates
its claim to southern support. We would parti
cularly notice a well written, and well consi
dered review of Purring ion's " Reasons for the
Abolition of Capital Punishment."
We observe a letter from Mr. Rush to the |
Editor, in which he speaks of the Duke of VV el
lington, as he heard Lord Ashburton speak of
him, as a sort of moral copy of Washington!
Coming from a native of any country, this com
parison would sound strangely. From an
American, it is downright sacrilege. To com
pare Wellington, the man who fought during
his whole career, against the right of a nation
to choose its own rulers—who was a principal
instrument in fastening upon Europe the Holy
Alliance —who was judged to be so appropri
ate a tool of despotism that he was habitually
wot to those Congresses where the crowned
heads of Europe met to devise means for more
effectually trampling the people in the dust—
who made a convention with the Governor of
Paris (Marshal Davoust) in which he stipulat
ed that no man should be prosecuted for politi
cal offences, and then allowed the wretches he
had assisted in placing their feet upon the
aecksof the French people to assassinate Key,
Labedoyere, and Mouton Durvenet, when a
word from his mouth could have prevented it
—who never gave way to the enlightened pro
gresa of the age, during his long life but once,
aad afterwards bitterly regretted it —to com
pare this man to Washington, is profanation
let the comparison come from what lips it may.
It seems there were points of resemblance be
tween them, however. They were both remark
ably punctual in answering letters. They
were both brave, and both fought battles. And
they were both "superior to all selfishness!''
A pratty wholesale commendation this, so far
es Wellington was concerned, especially when
we take into consideration his inordinate love
of money, manifested, ludicrously enough in
the latter end of his life, by his persecuting
Miaa Coutts, the wealthiest heiress in the world,
with his senile addresses.
If it waa absolutely necessary to compare
Wellington with somebody, we could have
pointed to a person who would have answered
the purpose of Mr. Rush far better than Wash
iagton. We allude to that renowned follower
of the immortal Gustavus Adolphus, Ritt
Master Dugald.Dalgeity of Drumthwacket.—
Both of them wtre brave, both fought fur ab"
volute power against the rights of the people;
froth made money a prime object in their cam
paigns. Dalgetty, however, fared the worst of
the two, for while ha was obliged to he con
tented with a hall.dollar per diem through the
campaign, and the rank of a major ut the end
of it, Wellington received three million of
pounds sterling, from the vaiious despots he
had assisted to crush the spirit of popular li
berty, and became a Field Marshal in every ser
vice in Europe. Even Mr. Rush will hardly
venture to place the conduct of his Magnus
Apollo, in this respect, alongside of Washing
ton's. The latter came forward at the end of
& war which had been sustained almost en
tirely by his superhuman exertions, and de.
elared that he would receive no money for his
•ervicea. All he asked was that £ 14,000 which
he had paid out of his own pocket for the pub
lic go»d, might be returned. Then turn to
•he grants made by Parliament, alone, to Wel
lington—grants amounting to at least £800,-
two sterling.
But, it seems, Washington was a patriot, and
so was Wellington. The former proposition
■one will deny. Epamenondas was a patriot,
when he died leaving nothing but an old spit
lo show for furniture. Timoleon was a patriot,
and he received no wages for serving bis coun.
try. Cincinnntua was a patriot, and he toiled
with his own hands for his .daily bread. John
Hampden was a patriot, and the only pay he
ever received was the applause cf millions for
the devotion of his life to the cause of his
country. Washington was a patriot, and from
en over-burthened country he received nothing.
Jackson, Scott and Taylor were patriots, but
they received nothing but the pay attached to
their military rank.
"Great men have always scorned great recom
pense* ;
■pamenoudas saved his Thebes, and died,
Hot leaving even hiiluneral expenses-
Goorge Washington'had thanks, anj nought besid j,
Kxoept the all cloud less gloiy, which few men's is,
To save his country ; Pitt, too, had his pride,
And like a high souied minister of State is
Renowned for ruining Great Britain gratis."
Wellington may have been a patriot—En
glishmen think that an Irishman may be
aueh, even though he turn his back upon his
own country. We shall not dispute it. All
we shall say is, that he had no inducements to
be otherwise. His virtue was never put to the
trial. No man was ever paid so high a price
for his patriotism. Benedict Arnold would
ha»a been a patriot, for less than a fiftieth part
of the sum Wellington received.
But enough of Wellington. It is enough to
■sake a man almost forswear his republican
areed to see and hear what we have seen and
heard since Wellington's death—1 0 hear re
publicans ainging praises to the memory of the
■oat inveterate foe liberty has ever had since
the day. of Strafford and Laud-to see .hose
brt3 0 ,h 88 10 thC frieDdß Purees, cele
bratmg theapotheoma of the tool of the Holy
| Alliance. Do those people, who are singing
is praises through the press, know what the
principles of that Alliance were ? Are thev
aware of the reckless manner, in which thlv
distributed whole countries iu Europe, among
themselves and their dependent Kings ? I>„
they know, that without consulting the wish
es ofthe people, they annexed whole States to
ether States, crushing their independence, and
•xtUfßiahing their national existence ? Do
*ey know that they were the authors of
Um spoliation and dismemberment of Poland,
of the restoration of the detested Austrian rule
over the fairest portion of Italy, of the aneexa
tioß o*Norway to Sweden, and the consequent
diimtwberment of Denmark f Are they .wore
meratwra of a Univeraity, who waited on him
at the Congress of Verons, that he wasted obe
dient subjects, not learned men, in his domin
ions t Are they ignorant of the fact, that Wel
lington was a principal actor in a large portion
of these transactions, and that he never once
intervened by giving his dissent, when others
were in progress? And do they still call
themselves republicans, friends of the people,
believing in the right of all nations to manage
their own internal concerns in their own wayT
An enlightened Englishman said, when he
heard of the battle of Waterloo, "the clock of
the world has been turned back a century and
a half!" Eiaggerated as the sentiment may
appear, we are disposed to think it just, when
we see American papers copying from English
journal?, their slavish adulations of a man,
who, as an enemy to freedom and the rights of
man, was more formidable than Metternich or
Nesselrode—when we see \V ashington dragged
down from his lofty eminence, and placed side
by side with a mercenary soldier, who fought
for hi* pay, and was paid because he fought—
when we hear the holy name of patriotism
coupled with that of a man, whose whole life
is distinguishable by no act of munificence to
the land that gave him birth, save in a solitary
instance, for which he afterwards expressed
his hearty sorrow—when we hear the holder
of places =o valuable that they yielded him at
least £20,000 per annum, and so numerous
that they have since been divided among at
least a dozen persons, at the same time that the
poor are ground to death by taxes, extolled for
his disinterestedness.
It is proper to say that these remarks are
■)t intended to apply to the editor of the Mes
senger, whose liberal and enlightened views
are perfectly well known to the writer, and
who, that writer is convinced, thinks very
much as he does upon this subject. They are
meant for certain Northern papers, which, sine®
the death of the Duke of Wellington, have
filled their columns with eulogies of him, and
especially for the man who endorses a compari
son (natural enough in the mouth of Lord
Ashburton, an Englishman,) between him and
the greatest of our countrymen.
CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Mr. Duv id Anderson, Jr requests us to say,
that our quotation of the stock of this compa
ny at $40 is incorrect. It ha 3 been some time
since any was sold thus low. Large sales, Mr.
A. says, have been made at $42i, and the de
mand for it at this price continues to be good.
From Mexico.—The following item of Mex
ican intelligence has reference to u fact hereto
fore announced by telegraph :
The French vessel of-war Oreste, now at
Vera Cruz, appears to be only the forerunner
of a French squadron on their way to sup
port, by s.rong argument, if necessary, the
demands of tiie French Minister in Mexico, in
the case of the French subject Lafont, who
was some time since, at the instance of the
Mexican clergy, thrown into prison for marry
ing a Mexican woman merely under the civil
form of contract, without the assistance of a
priest.
The "Last Rose of Summer" Once
More.—We subjoin a very pretty note, which
was sent us, along with one of the sweetest and
prettiest bouquets we have yet had the plea
sure of receiving. Lest some of our brethren
should become jealous of our good luck, we
deem it proper to say that the donor is a mar
ried lady. Site has properly appreciated our
taste. We love flowers, but we Ijve still
more, such notes a3 this. It breathes the very
"perfume of the violet." We can even forgive
the hit at "our young affections." May those
of our correspondent be always as fresh, and
as fragrant, as the flowers that bloom around
her, never to be nipped by the sharp frost of
adversity, or bent beneath the bleak wind of
sorrow, or withered by neglect, or snapped
by unkindness.
Mr. Editor:—Something you said, the
other day, about a "Last Rose of Summer,"
leads me to conclude that you are fond of such
smiling flowers; und as you have all your
young affections to lavish upon such beauties,
permit me, though unacquaiuted with you, to
present you with yet another last rose, culled
from many yet blooming around us at the Ar
mory.

Meeting of Congress.—The next session
of Congress commences on the first Monday
of December, and will continue in session un
til the 4th of March, when Gen. Pierce will be
inaugurated as President, and the terms of the
members elected to the thirty-third Congress
commence.
Washington Monument.—We are request
ed to say, that the keepers of the polls, on the
day of the Presidential election, at Dickman's
precinct, Henrico county, collected, from 138
voters, twelve dollars for this monument. It
has, we believe, been handed in.

LOCAL MATTERS.
CaLFOBTTOm COMVK»TIO!I .— Third Day.—This
body re-assembled yesterday morning After
prayer and singing, narratives were resumed, aud
sketches of personal experience and colporteur la-
given by Mr Freeman, of Baltimoie, and Messrs
Grant, Jett, Mbjod, and Parsons.
Rev. Mr. Cook, one of the Secretaries of the
American Tract Society, then gave a full deacrip.
tion ot the book establishment of the Tract Society
in New York. Recent'y the tract house had been
rebuilt and greatly enlarged- Mr. C passed a high
eulogium upon the fidelity and qualifications of the
employees of the establishment. There were near,
ly three hundred persons engaged in the tract
houie. Between 150 and 200 lemalt-s were em
ployed in the bindery. These joined with the males
in a prayer meeting at 12 o'clock etery day, and
had for the last fifteen years which held for fifteen
minutes. Thus the books of the Society were em
phatically bound in prayer. The different depart
ments aid committees were next, particularized.
The devoted labors of the Secretary of the Society,
William A. Halleck,were eloquently sketched by
Mr. C. During sixteen years personal association
with Mr. H , Mr. C. had never seen him have a mo
ment of leisure. Hearing a friend«ay, on one oc
casion, that he intended spending some hours in
visiting, Mr. 11. said, " three solid hour« spent in vi
siting, why I must be in another world to do that.''
He did all each day that he had the strength to do,
and thus was enabled to labor so efficiently in the
work. In addition to superintending the foreign
missionary field, he supeivised the publishing de
partment.
To show the economy of the establishment and
the benefit of saving small things, Mr. C. stated that
for several years the sweepings of the gilding and
embossing room were saved, and on being sent to
a gold beatei's and pressed, they yielded a mass of
gold worth f 112. Every page printed in this estab
ment contained a portion of God's truth. The clat
ter of the machinery seemed to speak the words,
"all for Christ.'' No sectarian purposes had ever
yet been subserved under the roof of this house.
Rev.Mr. Eastman, of New York, remarked that
in view of tho feeble cpening and preeentcondition
of the Society, it might Ibe saidg truly, "Behold,
how great a matter a little fire kiadleth "
Mr. Tappan, of Boston, would voluntarily state
what, perhaps, was not necessary, that this was not
a money making concern. The members ot these
working committees never received a cent for their
labors; and the Secretaries and officers of the So
ciety received salaries barely sufficient to supp-rt
them. They cou Id not amass earthly riches iu this
Society, like the officers of railroad and other so
eictics, but could lay up treasures in heaven.
Rev. Mr. Cook stated an Rnecdote to tbe effect
that persons who would make themselves life-mem
bers of the Society, could share in tbe dividend?
(•■sensation.) The largest contributes t«> the Socie
ty in proportion to their means, were the members
of the committees who gave so mueh of their time
gratuitously to advance its interests.
Rev. Mr. Killen, of Maryland, next made some
encouraging remarks
On motion, it was ordersd that a copy of Rev
Baron Stow'a address on Wednesday, be published
by the Society for the use of its colporteurs and
agents.
Rev. Mr. Osborne, colporteur in Chesterfield
county, then made a statement of his TaUtfrs Thsre
was a great dea! of literary destitution in the coun
ty. Notwithstanding there was a church to every
four or five mile§ of the county—B Methodist and
10 Baptist ministers, and 1 Episcopalian, and 1
F.-ea'jyteriai, hare was great destitution re
ligiously. lie had found in Manchester eijhteen
families entirely destitute of the Seizures. In
what was called the' 'Yeliow Jacket" section, there
was great moral destitution. Sixty families entire
ly slestitute of tue Scriptures, mostly newly mar
ried. Messrs. T. Rosa, Perkins, and others,Jcolpor
teurs in Virginia and other places, then jave details
of their labors.
The committee on public exercises reported that
a public meeting would be held in Trinity church
this evening at 7>£ o'clock. Subject of discussion—
"Christian union and personal effort." Rev. Mr.
Kiilen, oliMary land, Rev. Mr. Cook, of New York,
Mr Cress, of Virginia, and others will address the
meeting.
The Convention then adjourned to meet at 9
o'clock this morning.
Police and Watch Department.—Our
attention has been called, by a correspondent,
to the Police and Watch departments of our
city. There can be no doubt that the peace
of the city, and the welfare and happiness of
our citizens, depend for their maintenance
chiefly upon the strength and efficiency of
these depm tments. That lawlessness is on the
increase in our country, it is useless to deny,
for the records of the various courts exhibit too
plainly the lamentable truth. Richmond is
less tainted with it than some of her sister
cities, but crime is contagious, and unless her
moral atmosphere be maintained in a pure and
healthy condition, there is no telling how soon
her streets will also become the scenes ofdnr
ing and disgraceful deeds of lawlessness and
crime. As it is, an occasional flare-up trans
pires, to disturb the peace and dignity of the
city, and, as it would seem, warns us to watch
fulness against the approaching evil. Our cor
respondent refers to a row between two negro
women, at the corner of Cary and 10th sireetp,
which continued, to the annoyance of the
neighborhood, over half an hour, and was wit
nessed by a number of blacks. Unless some
means be devised to check such proceedings
in their commencement, our laws must spee
dily become little less than a farce. And how
can the matter be remedied ? Before answer
ing the question, it is well to look at the de
partments forming our caption. That they are
entirely inadequate to guard the city effectual
ly, is evident from the slimness of their ranks.
Their number should be vastly attgmented, so
that each part of the city might always be un
der the immediate surveillance of some of the
•orps. Thus, we should have greater surety
of that order so necessary to the well-being of
the city. But to render the foice thoroughly
efficient, an augmentation of their number
alone is inadequate. An increase of salary is
absolutely necessary. It eannot be expected
that men will devote their entire time and at
tention to the disagreeable and often danger
ous duties that devolve upon the incumbents
of these departments, unless they receive a
reasonable compensation for their services
Good salaries, in the majority of cases, secure
the services of able and efficient employees,
and rendofe their position a desideratum which
they strive to retain by a faithful performance
of their duties. The present Police and Watch
force of our city are certainly attentive to the
interests of the city, and energetic in the per
formance of their duties, but they are insuffi
cient because of their fewness. We trust that
the proper authorities will attend to our su(-
cestions, folia; confident that, in the event of
their being can-ted out, tbey will redound to
mm—iiyif niir r hr
Privilege* and Hardbhi*§.—The aboli
tioniaU and mock philanthropists of the North,
who prate ao much about the denial of privi
leges and tbe impositions of hardship a on the
blacks|of the South, could have had a practi
cal denial of their stories Tuesday morning
last, in this city. The trifling circumstanc
•f removing from the cage a few blacks , ac
cused of being in an unlawful assemblage the
night before, called into the streets and around
the Mayor's office, thousands of idle slaves
who had been permitted to leave their homes,
at a busy hour in the morning, merely to gru
itfy their idle curiosity, and hundrads of
them remained for hours, congregated around
the City Hall, when not one half the number
of whites could have spared or afforded to lose |
so much time, on so trifling an occasion. The
number thus idle, arid allowed to be wandering
in the streets, could not have b"en swelled
much, if their fellow servants had been on their
way to the gallows, instead of the Major's of
fice, charged with a very slight off?nee. Even
many of our citizens, accustomed daily to
such sights, were surprised at the very large
number allowed to run at large at that busy
hour of the day. The assemblage around the
City Hall was equally as unlawful and repre
hensible as the gathering at the Washington
Hotel the evening before. The police used
their efforts to disptrse the crowd, but so great
was it, that their labors met with but partial
success. Who maintains that the black popu
lation of our city have no privileges and enjoy
ments in common with the w biles ? That race
have more idle time, and really see more plea
sure than do the whites generally.
Correction of an Error.—ln our article
upon the subject of warehouses, yesterday, we
said, "the profit to the State, from the Public
Warehouse, has been, we learn, for several
years past, little or nothing." Our inform an',
it seems, was mistaken. The Public Ware
house paid into the Treasury, at the end of its
fiscal year, beginning Ist October, 1851, and
ending 30ih September, 1852, $3000, clear of
all expenses ; that is to say, the interest on
$60,000. The revenue derived from this
source, depending upon the quantity of tobac
co raised, ig, of course, fluctuating. Some
times as much as $4,500 have been paid in ; ot
others, not more than $2000. The Inspector
thinks the last 15 years, taken together, will
exhibit more than sis per cent, on the original
cost.
The Goodall Family.—This gifted musi
cal family have arrived in our city, und will
give their first concert on Monday evening, as
per advertisement. Master Nicholas Goodali,
who is 12 years of age, we learn, is a musical
prodigy. When 6 years of age, he played in
the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra. Wher
ever this family have given concerts, they have
received warm and merited encomiums.
Menagerie and Circus.—A. Turner Sc
Co.'s Menagerie's and Circus will be opened
this afternoon, at 2 o'clock, and this evening,
at 7 o'clock, on exhibition. The equestrian
troupe is among the best in the world, embra
cing N. B. Turner, the celebrated six-horse
rider, and many other daring equestrians. The
Clown, J. W. Myers, can kick harder, jump
higher, squat lower, run faster, leap furtlier,
dive deeper end come out dryer, than Samuel
I'atch, Esq., himself ; and his budget ofjokes
is exliaustless.
Sent On.—ln the case of Bowen &. Bruce,
reported for permitting an unlawful assem
blage of negroes at ihe Washington Hotel, on
Monday evening last, tin? Mayor, discovering
that he cannot, under the general law, impuse
aline of a larger amount than $20, has sent
the case on to the grand jury.
Fined.—Francis Walthall was, on yester
day, lined $2 and costs, for the misdemeanor
ol his aiiver,in driving a team at an unlawful
speed.
Sent Off.—Elizabeth llolt, the free ne
gress who was urrested Monday as a runaway
Ironi her husband in New York, was yester
day discharged from custody, on giving secu
rity to leave the State within ten days.
Without Passes.—Catharine, slave to
Mary Tazewell, arrested without a pass, on
Thursday evening, was yesterday discharged
with an admonition.
Paul James, slave to Elizabeth Gilliam, was
also arrested without a pass, on the same eve
ning. Ordered 5 lashes.
Stealing.—A negro, named James Ellis
Ricks, yesterday received 39 lashes, for steal
ing a coat, handkerchief and comb, from Jas.
Clay ter.
Drunk.—Patrick Martin was arrested fot
drunkenness and disorderly conduct, Thurs
day evening, and,yesterday, bound over in the
sum of $200 to keep the peace. Committed in
default of security.
Hustings Court.— Commonwealth, vs.
Mary'Poor.—lndicted for receiving stolen
goods. The jury, failing to agree in this case,
were discharged, and the case was continued
over until the next term of the court The
husband, of Mrs. Poor was recognized for her
appearance.
Commonwealth vs. Mile* Talley.—lndict
ed for stealing a water-melon from L. Wood
son, in August last. Convicted, and sentenced
to 30 days' confinement in the city jail.
The Grand Jury met, and after presenting
true bills of indictment against Christopher
Murphy, Frederick Kline, George Woodv,
Robert Allen and John Mann, for misdemean
ors, were discharged.
Fise.—The alarm of fire on Thursday night,
•bout eleven o'clock, was occasioned by the par
tial burning cf a frame tenement, iu Broad street
adjoining the Broad street Hotel, and occupied as a
barber shop by Win. llallandine. As the house bsd
bnen closed some tune previously, and the die in
the stove carefully extinguished, there is no doubt
that it was the work of an Incendiary. Immediate
ly in the rear of the shop is the stable ol the Hotel,
with which, bad the flames made any headway
they must have commuuicatcd and caused an ex
tensive conflagration. The prompt and em rgetie
action of the firemen, however, prevented such a
disaster. Low, but trifling.
Paintings ov Adam and Eve.—Next Tueaday,
Dubufe'* celebrated Fainting* of Adam and Ere in
Paradise, will be exhibited at Odd Hall.—
Theae painting* an the aame that were exhibited
ln'thi* olty come teventeea year* ago, tad which
elicited at the time the cotnoMßdatfo* of con*
■okaw and the admiration of all who a»w thaaa
BHooTi!fa Case.—We understand that a
negro boy, employed in the tobacco factory of
Dr. Uosby, on 11th street, between Main aad
Cary, yesterday refused to obey an order of
his overseer, and resisted an effort to force him
his duty, when the o/er3eer shot him, and
inflicted other injuries upon him. He was ta
ken to the Medictil College, where he remained
in u precarious condition at last accounts.
English Grammar. —We invite attention
to the advertisement of Mr. Greenleaf, who
commences his evening class next Monday
night. Those who desire to become profi
cient in this necessary branch of' education,
will do well to join the class.
Card to the i'ablic.—As there seems
to oe some misunderstanding uoon toe part sf
many of the friends of the young arhtt.es. Misses
Denin, who are now performing at our theatre, as
well as blame attached (without cause) to certain
gentlemen of this city in regard to the hiding of
Mr. Winans on \\\ dues day night last, the iOlh
inst., we deem it necessary and proper, being inpoa
sesiiun ofatbe facts of th e case, to give an explana
tion. It is this: on the evening prii rto the sppear
ance ot Mr. Winans, a gentleman of this city re
ceived a letter from a iriead of his in Pittsburgh,
in which he stated tLut a difficulty hid occurred in
tie theatre of that city, in which Mr. W. figured
very unfavorably, and moieover, stated that he
(Winaru) "treats the M ! ases Denin shamefully " —
That letter a'so enclosed an article from a newspa
per, giving a lull account of the atfair that occurred
in the Thea re. We here append it.
"Our places of amusement are not so numerous
as they were af ;w weeks ago. The Mis*es Denin
have been performing at the theatre to very good
audiences, and from their youth and beauty have
received great encouragement from our play-goers.
An actor named Winans, who travels with .he Mu
ses Denin, created something of a row on the stage
on Wednesday night las!, at the close of the per
formance. It appears that a feeling anything but
friend y sprung up between Wicans and some of
the members ol the stock company, owing to the
audience signifying their approval of the acting of
the stock as well as of the stars, by frequent bursts
ot applause. A promising young actor, Mr. Boni
face, was the first insulted by Winans, while per
forming his part upon the stage. Mr. Boniface,
after the fall of the cut tain, appealed to Mr. Wi
nans for redress, but failed to obtain it. When the
curtain was i ung up again, the saiae scene of dis
order characteiized the peiformar.ee oi Winans,
who was personifying the mock Duke, iu the Ho
neymoon. Among other insults, he applied tbe
foutest language to the wifuof Mr. Brelstotd (Mist
Wheeler,) for which Mr. Brelsford pulled his (Wi
nans') nose ! Not satistied with insulting her by
these epithets, he insulted her public'y, by leaving
her alone upon the stage at the disposition of char
acters. Determined in carrying out his conduct as
far as h j could, he proceeded to ;he Waverly IIvUO
iu Diamond Al'ey, for the purpose of whipping
some half dozen of tie company. Me.ting Mr.
Brelaford, who wished to avoid him, he commenced
slandering him, until "forbearance ceased to be a
virtue ' with Mr Bre'.sford, when he knocked the
insultertwice sprawling on the ti ior. The winding
up of thasil'.ir was—VViuana apologi.-ed to evei v
member of the company verbally, ana so complete
ly was he whipped into something i ke humanity,
that he tif jred to give each a written document <jl
his shameful proceeding. Eveiy one acqu<iiuteb
with the mutter, was heaiti'y giad when he with
drew from tbe stage, although his step daughters,
the Misses Dai in, are great favorites '
The receiver of the letter with the at tic'.e, showed
it to only tiftw of his friends, without any intention
or wish to create a row or disturbance in the
theatre. The subject however, whs very soon
whispered among the friends of the Misses Denin,
and of Mf. and Mrs. Brelsf >rd, and many of them
determined, should Mr Winans appear, that he
ahouid not be favorably received. But there was
no party gotten up to hiss Mr Winans. Every one
thai dia hiss him, hissed upon his own responsibili
ty, believing that he deserved it. And wo wiii state,
that so far aa hissing in the theatre is concerned, we
maintain that it is the right of every free citizen to
hiss as weilsatoapplaud whenever he chro.es to do
so, and we hope ihat no petty flings from those
who love to deal in unjust or p -reouai criticisms,
wiil have any effect in detering our citizens from
exercising the rights of freemen,

Baltimore, Sept 11, ig ji
Messrs Mortimer & Mowbray: 1 fed it adutv'to
make known the benefits I have derived Irorrf
Hampton's Tiacture. For a length of time I tuve
been subject to gre,t prostration of muscular now
er, and great debility of tne nervous system ae
companied with palpitation and rtutterin" of the
heart. I had such sudden attack, that on one r, CC a
sion 1 could scarcely get home I making
ot my case to a friend, he referred me to Jose-h K
Stapleton, Esq, an old and highly respectable c'ri
zen of Baltimore, who had used the Tincture under
similar circumstances. I called on Mr Staple'on
and, bfter an interview of some minutes. 1 was tu"v
satisfied of the medicaii virtues of the Tincture
f rom the evidence before me, of his own person!
who, for sometime previous, indicated a failing
9tate of health, but now a hearty, hale appear
ance, with the activity of youth, i immediately
commenced usiui,' the Tincture, and befuie I took
the contents of one bottle, my strength wss renew,
ed, and lean walk as brisk and am us activ as I
was twenty years ago. This Tincture is th» grand
restorative ot the digestive organs, which, when
destroyed, the whole system is in a state of suffer
ing.
1 do assert it is, ia reality, what it is represented
to be by Dr Hampton, the inventor.
