(TT Repealed Inquiries have lcn put to us why It is that the journals of the House of Representatives have not been printed and distributed before this. Formerly tho distribution was made as early as March or April. It Is now mid-summer and no journals as yet have appeared. At this peculiar juncture it is all Important that the people should know how their public servants voted last fall on tho several questions of banks and corporations. Tho whig rrcsscs have charged the democrats with tho sin of chartering all the and they would fain make us responsible for nil the rotten manufacturing corporations which have been created in this State for the last sis years.

Let the journals be published, distributed and read, and the people will soon learn where the fault lies. We shrewdly suspect however that the distribution, if aver, will not be made until after the September elections. A whig Clerk, whig Printer, and a corps pt whig Sheriff! will delay to the latest period possible, a (distribution among the people of tho icasiicss'oi tnetr ncpreseniatives. It may be, however, (hat some good reason can bo assigned for this delay, and we call upon Mr Miner of Manchester to make known how and why it is that the journals arc not already in the hands of the different Town Clerks in the State. If the fault rests with the Clerk or Sheriffs let the people understand it, so that these public functionaries may be visited with a prompt dismissal next fall.

subjoined list embraces probably but little more than two thirds of tho members present at the democratic County Convention at Faycltcvillc on the 8lh inst. The names were collected at a late hour, just upon the eve of the dissolution of tho Convention and after many of the members hail left for their homes. Enough however are here presented to convince the exclusively patriotic whigs that the recent paper panic has not entirely dissipated the democracy oven in this old federal county. Some few it ecrms arc willing and bold enough to stand out in defence of their common country and her republican institutions. Any one familiar with the citizens of this county cannot fail to notice among the names enumerated below, some of tho most respectable farmers and mechanics in the country men of humble pretensions, unassuming manners, and simple, industrious habits, but of sound sense and sterling worth.

If they arc it happens to be such offices, and such only, as Whig Legislatures have repeatedly conferred upon them in consideration of their honesty and capacity. They have nothing to boast of their bloated opponents claim all the wealth, talent and religion in the'land, as their fathers of old were wont to do; and even, pharisec-likc, thank God that they are not like other men, particularly the humble, vulgar Dc; mocracy. With all this the republican farmers of old Windham are content, knowing that sooner or later the overbearing party of privilege, monopoly and power will be crippled and trodden down by the honest-hearted Democracy of tho country, who are struggling for the supremacy of equal rights and privileges. Wo invite tho freemen of this county to examine the annexed list carefully. Wo beg to know if the men who lul.ro enrolled fticmeclVes arc not quite as honcsE'arid patriotic, indrcd do they not represent quilo as much moral worth as their opponents 7 Hove they not as deep i an interest in tho stability of republican institutions, and the permanency of a republican government as certain modern whigs, think ye 1 Aro they to be branded as levellers, jacobins and agrarians 1 Do they desire to rc-cnact the bloody and ferocious scenes of the French revolution? Honest-hearted and cool-headed farmers, wc look to you for an answer.

Tho author of this work has rendered a most valuable service to the community by its publication adding yet higher to already high claims, to the gratitude of parents and teachers, for her assiduous and skilful endeavors to aid and stimulate the youthful mind in tho acquisition of useful knowledge.

The manner in which scientific truth is presented in this volume, combines, with great success, clearness with brevity. The terms of the science arc happily divested of the repulsive aspect which they wear to beginners, and yet are made to retain all their exactness and precision. There is just enough of incidental remark to interest and engage the attention of the young student, but not to divert and distract it. The illustrations aro drawn, as far as possible, from facts and operations coming under his every day observation, and Ids own experience is thus made the easy medium of conveying to his mind a knowledge of the principles which govern the material universe. By being made acquainted with the properties of those inanimate bodies with which he is hourly brought in contact, and witli the laws which regulate their motions, he is put in possession of the key which, if pcrseveringly used, will unlock not only the machinery which human invention has put in operation, to aid human labor and industry to an extent almost incredible, but the machinery of the heavens also, the causes that keep in motion and bind in fixed oibits the great trsjti of wortdsand tvttcmn of -composing me universe.

You tickle my elbow and I'll scratch your It is amusing to witness the game that is now playing by two distinguished Monopolists in this Probate District. Their policy is the same now as that adopted successfully by them some years since.

We remember the time very distinctly when Citizen Birchard drummed together a little bevy of politicians at Fayctteiille and nominated iri.i mi- good people or this county were amazed at the nomination, not knowing that the Squire had ever acted politically with the Citizen nnd his fellows. However he was properly endorsed and in duo timo elected, not by (ho votes of this county, but of other and remote districts where the Squiic was better known than at home, and by those too who could better appreciate his talents and virtues thun his own neighbors. After two years laborious service the Squire, with great and unexampled self denial, retired to enjoy his otium sine dignitate. His man-tic fell upon Citizen Birchard, who, with all that peculiar meekness, humility and lowliness which becometh those that are exalted above their fellows, received tho title of Honorable, and was duly and formally seated with 'grave and reverend seigniors." Tho same disinterested arrangement has just been entered into in, relation to a vacanry in the whig Senatorial ticket iiiotCfteiUly by uff The Citizen lias started the Squire, and in due course of timo the Squire will give way for the Citizen. So we go 'like master like man or the old Connecticut 'ride and tie system very successfully introduced into politics by the Squire and the Citizen.

A marvellous proper farce to be enacted on the fust Tuesday of September next. We arc happy to inform the Ladies and Gentlemen of Brattleboro, that Mr Zuboffand Mr Gawronski, two young gentlemen from Poland and accomplished musicians, will hold a Concert on to-morrow (Friday) evening. From the satisfaction they have elsewhere given, arc induced to predict that they will afford a rich treat to the lovers of vocal and instrumental music. And as they have been driven from their houses by the enemies of human liberty, it becomes us who call ourselves its friends, to give them a hearty welcome. We wish them much success.

Mr Editor: I noticed with pleasure, in the laft number of the Democrnt, two resolutions purporting to have been presented and discussed by the Windham County Temperance Society at its meeting in Brattleboro village on the 11th inst. I hope, sir, that those resolutions were adopted by that body, and trust that tin sentiments therein expressed will meet with the cordial approbation of every friend of temperance in the state of Vermont. The Temperance Reform has now reached a crisis that demands prompt, energetic and decisive action.

"At the Methodist Conference, held this year at Nantucket, there were one hundred and fifty ministers present. A resolution was passed JjOt to interfere with the abolition question." As this paragraph, which wc havo seen in several papers, may create a false impression, we copy it for the fiurpose of contradicting the statement contained in the ast sentence. No such resolution was passed, nor any other on the subject of abolition. The question of slavery came before the Conference by the presentation of a large number of memorials praying the Conference "to bear its solemn testimony apainst this great sin) and also to memorialize the next General Conference upon this subject, that such measures mnf be taken by that body as will clear the Methodist K. Chorch from all participation in the great and crying sin of American slavery." On a motion to refer these mcrrofials to a committee to consider and report, the presiding Bishop decided that ho was bound by the decisions of tbTDeiieiiil Conference to prevent the agitation of this subject, and he therefore refused to put the question, and jslso to allow an appeal from his decision.

There was tljrrcfore no action on the subject.

H. Kemper, of Cottage Farm, dated South Haiiover, July Cth, 1837. "I set down in haste to give you some account of a scene the most terrific and appalling I have ever witnessed!

Wc learn that considerable excitement has existed for a few days past in the towns ol lolland and Uranville, mass, in con sequence of the murder of Mr Fuller of the former place, by a man named Jesse Hall. It appears that Ful ler and two or three other men were all at the house of Hall on Sunday the 2d inst. in a state of intoxication that a quarrel there arose which resulted in the murder ui 1 uller, and the secretion ol his body in a pond near by, where it has since been found.

Immediately after the re covery of the body, Hall absconded. Ho was however arrehted about ten miles distant, in the north part of Ulamltoid, where lie attempted lo cut Ins throat with a pen kniio, but succeeded only in bleeding himsclt pretty thoroughly. Hall, with his two or three associates, were examined before three Justices in West Granville on bat urday last. No evidence appearing that these associates had any thing to do with the quarrel between Fuller and Hall, they were liberated, and Hall wus committed to the jail in bpringneld, to await alurlher trial.

This Wheel is constructed with two, perpendicular shafts with buckets or floats at the bottom (when placed in a perpendicular position,) and the water is applied to the centre so as to exert its power upon lith, thereby greatly increasing the powct. Tho wheels may bo placed either in a perpendicular or horizontal position as circumstances shall require, and arc applicable to mill or any kind of machinery. So far as this improvement has been tested it has afforded the highest satiihvctlon. (Certificate of Messrs Fetch.) Tin's may certify that we have put one of Mr Elpar'.

patent Wheels in operation and is now in use at Fetch's Mills in Winchester. We think it goes with lcs w-ater than any other quick motion wheel now to be found. It has more than met our expectations, and we are satisfied that it will be of great use to the public. JOHN FKLCH, Winchester, (N H) July 12, 1837. WM.

most other countries. To preserve, therefore, that health. by natural means, is a grand, moral and political schcino, to Mini which, requires our utmost attention. The unprecedented success which has resulted from the adoption of Brandreth's Pills, during a period of upwards of 85 years, the numerous and cxtraordinsry cures which they have performed upon hundreds uf individuals whom they have rescued from almost inevitable death, after they had been pronounced incurable by the most eminent of the faculty justify Dr Brandreth, the proprietor of this Vegetable Universal Medicine, in warmly and conscientiously recommending it to the special noi tice of the public. Dr Brandreth wishes mankind to consider this truth, that health depends on the state of purity in which tho blood is kept, every part of the body being supplied daily with new blood from the food consumed, consequently, according to the purcness of that blood, so must the state of the body be moro or less healthy.

To obtain, there- fore, the most direct purifier of the blood, is a questiun of no litttc importance to every individual. That Rrandrcth's Pills are the most direct purifiers of the blood, there will be no doubt when it is known that they have gained their present very extensive sale by their own intrinsic merit; proved by the numerous cures which they have accomplished in cvciy variety of disease. The peculiar action of these pills is most surprising; their opcinticns being more or less powcilul, according to the purcness of the circulating fluid. On person in a fair state of health, who is only costive or slightly bilious, they will be scarcely felt on the contrary, if the complaint be chronic, and the constitution bo much deranged, the effect generally at firBt is most powerful, until the system be freed of some of its most vitiated and 'd) humours. This accomplished, doses sufficient trj two or three copious evacuations daily, will remove the disease, and the constitution will be restored to a state, uf health and renewed vigor.

These pills are recommended by thousands of person whom they have cured of Consumption, Influenza, Colds, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Asthma, Gout, Rheumatism, Nervous Diseases, Liver Complaint, Pleurisy, Depression uf Spirits, Fits, Palsy, Dropsy, Ciuup, Coughs, Whooping Cough, Quinsy, Cholera Morbus, Gravel, Worms, Dysentery, Deafness, Scrofula, Eiysipelasor St Anthony's Fire, Stilt Rheum, White Swellings, Cancers, Tumours, Swelled Feet and Legs, Piles, Costivcncss, all eruptions of the Skin, Female complaints uf every k.ind, especially Obslructi'ohs, Relaxations, Such is tho reputation, and eo great the demand for the Genuine "Brandreth's Vegetable Univrrs.il PilU," 4ln i. ml. and sold gcmline and some individuals who sell the counterfeit pills,) have advcitised thcmteltes as my agents, and I Imva founjl it necessary lo preserve tho icpulation of my pills, und bave the public from imposition, to furnish every agent with a certificate, which is as follows "Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills."
