‘Competition is the Like of Rusiness.’ This saying is a standing contradiction to Ihe experience and observation of all man* kind. Competition is tbo death ol the la borer, the mechanic, and all those win are dependent upon physical exertion for sup port, and the possible accumulation of a competence. It is the constant jarring of interests —the unceasing conflict which ari es from riva'ry, that brings the mechan ics of our country to a dopen lance upon capital, and to eke ont an existence upon unrequited toil. Who or what class is it that invites competition? I* it those who are engaged in active business. Ask the laborer or the mechanic what is the cause of the lowness of the wages which he re ceives, even when there is plenty of cm nlovment to be had, aud he will tell you that it is competition. Does the man of capital want a job of work done, he gets a fictitious bid lor the contract, and he who does the work is compelled to come down to that mark. Ask the merchant why his profits are so small, or why so many of his brethren fad in business, and he will tell you that tho cau e is competition. Ask the lawyer or physician why his coat or his hat is so scaly, and he will refer you to the numerous shingle*, which extend, from innumerable offices in every hamlet village and city throughout tho Union.- Thus it is in every trade and profess ; on’ runious competition exerts a baneful in fluence. One is trying to elevate himself at tho expense of another’s depression.— Interests ciash, contentions arise, stimula ted by those to whose advantage it insures to procure labor and its products as cheap as possible, and those who are compelled to exchange them for a subsistence, are the sufferers. And this state of things w ill continue un til the working people of this country learn, that the good of one is comprehended in the all. I util there is adopted a unity and combination of the interests and sympathies of ihe mass. So long as they submit to be hut “hewers of wood and drawers ol water” to the few, so long will their depression and degradation increase and extend.— Huff'. Caz. Death ok a Great Musician. —The celebrated Trunk Johnson, says the Phila delphia Ledger, one of the best musicians, of the day, died at his residence in Peel street near Sixth, at an early hour in the morning, llis loss will he much lamented by the Military of this city. Corsets. —Wo clip the following from a letter addressed by an eminent physician ol this city, to a female friend, on the evil habit of wearing corsets. Let our female readers glance at it, and whilst so doing, remember that this accursed l'tshion lias destroyed nearly as many lives as gim powder. — Phil. Amur. Sentinel. *•1 anticipate the happy period when the fairest portion of the fair creation will Alep forth unincumbured with slabs of wal nut and tiers of whalebone. The consti tutions of our females are most excellent to withstand in any tolerable degree tho j inflictions of the corset, eight hours every > day. No other animal could survive it. 'J ake the honest ox, and enclose his sides with hoop poles, put an open plank he-; Death him, and gird the whole with a bed cord, and demand of him labor. He would labor indued, hut it would he for breath.” Irish Wit and Humor. —The poverty of the Irish is not exagerated —neither is their wit—nor their good humor—nor their whims cal absurdity—nor their courage. Wit—l gave a fellow a slid ing on some occasion when n si.vpe.ico mu tho fee? “Ifenmmber, you owe me sixpence, Pat!” “May your honor live till 1 pay you?” There was courtesy a« wel! ns art hi this, and all the clothes on Pat's hack would have been dearly bought by the sum in question. Humor—There is perpetual kindness in the Irish cabin; bu term Ik, po tatoes, a stool is offered, or a stono is roll ed that your honor may sit down and he out of the smoke, and those who b<*g every where else, seem desirous to exercise free hospitality in their own houses. Their natural disposition is turned to gaity ami happiness.— Walter Scott. The Unkind cut Cut oj ait. —The Eng lish are all the time poking at some of our Western wavs, manners and customsr giving us the hardest kinds of hints so, some of our eccentricities, hut the crudest cut we h ve recently received is with a jack-knife —decidedly a “cut direct. Some Sheffield cutler has deluged the market with huge clumsy jack-knives, and on the blade of each ot the*o he has stamped “The American Gentleman's Pocket Com panion!'’indicating that such are the deli cate instruments carried in the pockets of the ulite of Yankee land. The Sheffield innn is certainly sharp upon the American blades this time. Kohesimi krk. —The March number of the Democratic Review contains an article of great interest, from the pen of Nicholas Hentz, one of the members of the famous Convention of the Trench Revolution—a mender of the Mountain, and a firm friend of Robespierre throughout his career.— Merit/, died a few years since in this coun try, whither he retired upon the fall of his party. Danton ho asscrls to have been a very corrupt man, first in the pay of the court,which he disgusted by his indifference, and afterwards, m the pay of Pitt, the British Minister. He gives Robespierre a pfigracter very different from that ascribed bun by the majority of historians; and jj is but just to say tjiat thereare many dis tinguished writers yyho agree with Jinn, in asserting that Robespierre was truly an mgn—a title which he wore throughout the revolution, and which not oven his enemies ever disputed. They at tribute Ins crimes so fanaticism deavor? to prove that the crimes alleged ngiinst him were committed bv others, and that his character has been blackened by English writers, who have strong national prejudices to gratify, and a hatred of the Revolution so excessive jhat they seem to think “the end justifies means"' in dis tortmg every fact connected p ith it. There is cert tin ly much in Robespierre’s charac ter, which would le d an impartial student to estimate it, from oven the painting of his enemies, as inconsistent with the unenviable fame lie bents. 11 j s character is at best an enigma and it is very probable that nos teriiv wi'l hold it in altogether different es- l /imation from that which is now sash ona Jde.

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE VRESENTS MAY COME, Greeting: KNOW ye that 1, Isaac Gk.»b«k, of the Village of Southport, in view of my own personal ad vantage in particular, and that of the public hi gen eral, have prepared myself todo an extensive busi ng* in the line of my profession —which is imjni mis, Gcssmithiiu;—and stcundus, mending, repair ing, mid tinkering, all kinds of breakable articles and things to he found in a hardware vocabulary, from a steam engine to a sauce pan, and from a lightning rod to H knitting needle, inclusive. With n grentrr regard for truth than mmlcsty, I feel rail ed upon to assure the public that my practicol skill in the particulars referred to is not to he surpassed by men of moderate mechanical genius or preten sions. But as the 44 proof of the pudding is in the eating,” 1 hope the proper application will be made to test the precise accordance between my practise and professions, which I doubt nor, will be found to be more than ordinarily remarkable. And in adt dition it may be well to state in connection, that while neatness and despatch will characterize the execution of all 1 undertake, the most remarka ble feature of my bus:qe.-s operations will be th# cheapness of my servi.-es-not chnrgts-for I hope t. he excused from any lessons in hook-keepiug. In short. 1 propose for cash or its equivalent, t. dispense upon nil who may lie in need of tnv servi j ces. the benefits ol mv mechanical and artistical skill and industry, most cheaply, most neatly, and most expeditiously. My locus in quo, or to bring myself down to tha comprehension ol ordinary readers, the place in ' tr/iich I am so he found, is a few rods east of VV. B. Sloe uni’s store. Southport, January I, |H4|. STARTLING FACTS! Hundreds of cl ildren *nd adults are lost yearly with worms, when some other cause lias been gup [>o*c(l to be the true one. It is admitted by all doctors that scales a man, woman or child exists but what are sooner or later troubled with worms, and in hundreds of ruses,sad l<> relate, a supposed lever,scarlatina,or some other ailing carries off the flower* of the human fami ly—while in truth they die of worms! and these could have been eradicated in a dav, bv the use of a bottle of KOLMSTOCK’S VERMIFUGE, at the cost of a quarter of a dollar. How sickening (he thought ffiat these things should he—and who can ever forgir . themselves for not trying this Worm Exterminator, when they /.wore that even it the case was not worms, this re medy could not by any possibility do hurt —but al ways good as a purgative — let ffie disease be what it inav. How important then to use it, and who will dare to take (he responsibility to do without it! Let every parent that is not n brute, ask than, sciv.-s this question in truth and solwrnos*. Mr. J. (.. Bin gold hod a child veTy sick for near two weeks, nnd attended by a physician, without relief, when Komstock's Vermifuge was give*, and next day more than fortv worms were passed, when the child recovered rapidly.
