are frustrated by their uwr. divisions, and the
culpable neglect, open treachery, or disaffec
tion, of those who are in the front ranks, and
will be looked to for direction, support, and
encouragement.
We have spoken in this article freely; but the
occasion demands that there should be no room
for doubt in the important matters which we
have been discussing. We are aware that the
Telegraph finds its excuse for what we complain
of in°the comments of a respectable journal for
merly supporting Mr. Clay, on a late letter of
Mr Calhoun’s. But suppose every friend of Mr.
Clay were to pursue the Telegraph’s course,after
tle perusal of some of the So ith Carolina papers
amJ ,.Ven the Telegraph itself, where would be the
mnl of crimination and re-crimination?-where
would attack and defence end? Ft is obvious
that there must be mutual forbearance. More
specially ought such a journal as the Telegraph
to forbear. Who asks it to surrender its princi
ples?-*^0 blames it for supporting Mr. Cal
houn. and defending Nullification? Who ob
ects to its daily enforcement of its views and
opinions on any and all disputed points? Will
it not allow the same liberty to others? Will
■t not permit others to approach the altar of Li
bertv without exclaiming, “ Stand off, I am ho
)ier than thou?” Yes! we repeat it, more espe
cially ought the Telegraph to forbear—the Te
lrgraph, the uncompromising advocate of Jack
in and Jacksonism—the former supporter of
“rewards and punishments”—the organ of Ex
ecutive power!-the Telegraph, which so pow
erfully aided in fastening upon us the evils which
it now admits, and which we all deplore! It
does seem to us, therefore, upon every view of
the c«ve, that the remarks which we have com
,m-nt“d upon are highly improper—that the par
ticular course of which we complain is not to
he defended—and we trust that a calm review
oftho whole ground will induce a reconsidera
tion of the former and a change of the latter.
The August number of Mr. Ruffin’s Farmer’s
Register has made its appearance with punctu
ality It is full of useful Agricultural matter
and articles interesting to the Farmers of Vir
uuiia. from whom it ought to receive a most
liberal support. __
Has the Post Office Department any particu
lar objection to the circulation of the New York
Commercial Advertiser? We should think so.
How unenviable must be the situation of
Com. Elliot—with all Com. Perry’s old charges
r.iked up and brought “ in dread urray” against
him?___

vantages enjoyed within the limits of this Insti
tution. B. Ilallowell’s course of lectures are
also attended through the winter season.
The vigilant care and paternal watchfulness
ever attendant upon the pupils, command oppor
tunities for inculcating lessons on numerous

TO THE PUBLIC.
DR. HOUSTON, successor of the late Dr.
John Thaybold, Fellow’ of the Royal Col
lege of Physicians of Persia, tenders his profes
sional services to the citizens of Alexandria, D.
C. and the public in general, and is ready to be
consulted GRATIS in all cases of disease inci
dent to the human frame, but more especially in
that virulent and almost yet unconquerable dis
ease the CANCER, as unquestionable authority
can prove the cure of the most awful case which
ever afflicted one of the human family. To
those afflicted with this direful scourge, with
hundreds of others, he particularly refers to the
cure of James Bond, a slave, formerly the pro
perty of Miss Sally Griffith, of this city, w*ose
desperate situation, though for a series of years
laboring under this affliction, yielded to his
skill, though it had baffled the science of most
of the faculty. Hopeless of relief, in a reduced
situation, abandoned by his friends, and seek
ing alms of the public, whose eye must revolt at
a sight which would shock the finer feelings of
mankind; at this time, fortunately for this ob
ject of pity, Dr. H. felt confident that he was his
Creator’s instrument to effect his cure, and is
now a living witness of the truth of this asser
tion, by proper medicine, properly apphed.
