EI.EGAN'TEXTRAGT. If put upon the search we should be at a loss where to find a finer model of the eloquence of reason and reasoning, than the annexed extract of a Speech of Gen. Harrison's delivered in 1817 on the Seminole War. In our poor taste, antiquity has transmitted us very little superior to it, nor modem times furnished from the Speeches the father and son, Fox, Sheridan, Burke, Ittirabcau, a finer spicimen of blended patriotic wisdom, just thought and rational eloquence. Here to be sure, is not the fiery and vehement eloquence of "that terrible Cornet of Horse' which from the moment first burst forth in the House of Commons, chained all England in admiration nor that of him who was the first to proclaim France regenerated when lie sent word to Louis XVI.

by his trembling' usher, "eo and tell your master we are here assembled the name of the People of France, and will not adjourn until we have executed their commands' but, belonging to another and more passionless School of eloquence. the thought is not less superior, the diction not less admirable and the effect ouHit to have been equally impressive: Hxtract f.om (ieitrrcl remarks in the JLute of HtprttitttiitntJi mi the Srutiitue ar.

16 SDH. Clk. C. C. i 1 THE MOST USEFUL FAMILY MEDICINE EVER OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC.

riHIS well known Anti-Dysenteric and Worm JL Mtd-eine bas proved successful these twelve years past, and is universally acknowledged 'by all who have tried it, to be far superior to any other medicine ever employed in the diseases for which jt is recommended. It ia perfectly safe, and no child will refuse to take it-Worms being especially apt to infest persons of debilitated digestive organs and. emaciated constitutions, much mischief is often done by the ordinary worm medicines, which generally consist of lho strongest purgatives, calomel, thai destroyer if the constitution, bitters, pink root, spirits of turpentine, wormfced oil, etc Articles of thia kind may-destroy wrms, but they debilitate the stomach, and often materially injure tbe general health, without removing the cause. SWAIM'S VERMIFUGE has the peculiar advantage of removing the cause of worms, by giving vigor and healthy action to the stomach, bowels, and organs of digestion, thereby relieving measles, croup, whooping cough, 6cc. This medicine, by invigorating the internal functions, strengthening the organs of digestion, and remjoving the primary cause which creates morbid! secretions, will relieve Bowel Complaints, Cbolie, Dysentery, Dyspepsia, and the whole train of biliary affections, 8ick Headach, Acidity of the Stomach, Foul Breath, Bleeding Piles, dtc.

It is an antidote in the early stage of Fever and Cholera Morbus. Asa genersl FAMILY MEDICINE it stands unrivalled, as it applicable to most of the diseases to which children are subject. SWAIM'8 VERMIFUGE will be found of some utility to persons wbe occasionally indulge in tbe conviviality of the table; a dose token before dinner will anticipate the effects of aeidily of the stomach, not unfrequendy produced by wine. In the neglect of this, however, a dose in tbe morning or tbe following morning will, in most instances, restore the tone of the Stomach. Families resident in the country, and isolated in a measure from medical advice, travellers journeying-to the tar west, or bound to distant ports, seminai ie and all public institutions and charitable association will find this remedy, constantly at hand, of great utility.

21, 1S40. 16ts SW AIM'S PANACEA, For the cure of Scrofula or Kins Evil, Rheumatism, Ulcerous Sores, Siphilis, and the host of painful and hitherto incurable affections resulting therefrom; White Swellings, Diseases of the Liver and Skin, General Debility, and all Diseases a-rising from Impurity of the Blood. THIS MEDICINE is particularly recommended as an alterative and a purifier of the Blood. It gives a tone and vigor lo debilitated Contitutions, which invalids are unconscious of until they have experienced its effects. It is also recommended in Diseases where the Lungs and Breast are supposed to be affected, and also where the constitution is broken down by tbe use of Mercury or Quinine.

The SWAIM'S PANACEA is an accredited antidote to the diseases peculiar to tropical latitude. It is made use of on all plantations, and produces a speedier, a more certain and less expensive medium of perfect restoration, than any other medicine hitherto known or employed. This medicine has tbe singular fortune, a juat tribute to its great merit, of leing recommended by the most celebrated practitioners of medicine in the U-nited States and Europe; whereas, not one of the spurious mixtures made in imitation of it has the least support from the medical faculty. Thia fact offers an argument so plain and conclusive, that it needs only to be mentioned to enforce Swaim'a Panacea is recommended to all those invalids for whom physicians prescribe Sarsapariila, Extracts, Sw aim's Panacea is in round bottles, fluted longitudinally, with tbe following words blown in the glass "Swaim'a Panacea Pbila" having bat one label, which covers the cork, with the signature of Wm, 8waim on it, so that the cork, (bearing also upon it as a seal the impression m. cannot be drawn without destroying the signature, without which none ia genuine.

The medicine may consequently be inawa to be genuine when the sig-ture is visilde, to counterfeit it will be panisbed as forgery. Prepared at SWAIM'S LABORATORY, Philadelphia. HENRY JOHN SHARPE, Gerund A-gent, Nd. 46 Pine Street, New York; and sold by every Druggist in tbe United States. WM.

SWAIM ic SON. i i Col. Croghan, and the Card, signet! by nearly ail of! the General and field officers, nttached to the North Western Army, during the War of MM, which we have heretofore published, all going to show the most unbounded confidence in the military skill of Gen. Harrison, we have now the pleasure of nresennne to our readers, in another column, tho additional testimony, (if more were wanted,) of that gallant and experienced officer, Gen. Edmund P.

Gaines, ho served under the orders of Gen. Harrison during a part of the year of 1813, as ar Adjutant General. The letter will speak for itself; it is written with all the frankness of a brave and high-minded soldier, whom the unprincipled "tacticians, sappers and miners," by their calumny and scandal, have provoked lo appear in vindication of an old and well tried friend. We arc not such advocates of a metallic currency, will likely ever bring u. in competition with the Carolinian in "plucking the coppers from dead negro's eyes." Yet we maintain that the Whis re more likely to carry New York in the Presidential election than the Loco Focos, mid our reason for thus thinking is based upon the fjet, that every c-lcction since 183G in that State, has terminated unfavourably tp the Van Burcn party, and we know ol reason hy the same result may not be expected again.

As for the other States wc mentioned as having been gained by the Whigs since 183G, to-wit: Rliode Islaod, Connecticut, Virginia, North Carolina and Louisioua, we haVe recently had pretty conclusive evidence to satisfy us that all will be right with them in November. The late election? are "sonic-thing more than an assertion," that they hc inscribed in characters too legible to be misunderstood' hk of reform in the affairs of our general gov-cnmicnt.

The latter, iu immense bodies, iaJ been marching over the fields, stripping the cotton stalks of every leaf, every liud, and every blossom leaving nothing at all save the naked stalk and branches and the matured bolls, btnpped as they arc of their foliage, the plants have the appearance 0.

bejuig singed by fire, which however was not sullicieut to destroy them entirely Such is the appearance of the fields, where the caterpillars have finished their work; but in others, where they liave just commenced, their presence is marked by holes which they have drilled in the leaves, all of which disappear a few days after the ravages begin for they destroy thoroughly, when they commence, and with a rapidity inconceivable to those who have not witnessed their movements. A good deal of cotton has been re-planted, but the presumption is, that the second planting will in most cases produce nothing. The dry weather prevailing a long time, has seriously injured tho growth and the caterpillar will rind the young stalks so tender, that the destruction of the foilage, buds, and the stalk itself, will be an easy matter: The work of destruction seems not to be confined to any particular district, but their ravages are extensive, having reached the plantations on Bayous Roeuf, Robert and In the Parish of Natchitoches, the caterpillar is also busily at work. The cotton fields on the banks of Cane River, from Cloutierville to a short distance above the Bon Dieu, showed marks of the destroying insect. From all accounts the probability is that scarce a half crop will be raised in the Red River country, unless something should immedaitely occur to destroy the caterpillars that are marching by armies Qfer the whole Bulletin.

its length deter any from giving to il an attentive perusal; it is clear and forcible in its statements, and almost un- rivalled in its composition. Vc are heartily tired of the old tune kept up by the Federal Whig presses, of "splendid ajfjirx," "overwhi lining meetings" ''unprecedented gather- whenever a meeting of the party takes place." So says the North Carolinian, and we doubt not, for once in his Editorial career, he has told the truth. "IIkartili tiukii," wc are sure, lhc U'aJcrs of his arc' of tl)e "overwhelming 1 'irt'n'" of lbc vcrJ bon and sinew of the country, i ssenlblcd in every section of it, from North to youth, and Irom East to West In which, thcy have rebuked lhe vacillating course of the Executive de- dared their abhorrence of his tinkering and perni- cious rfotrincR, and their determination to condemn them more effectually at the ballot box in ovember. Such "tunes," bc thcy old or neir, must sound discordant to those whose political salvation is staked on so frail an instrument as the little magician. Such enthusiasm and union among the Harriconians, must grate harshly on the ear of a party, who have usually found us, hitherto, on the eve of such a conflict, dispirited and divided.

Ere long, wc hope to be able to play lhc old tune to exactly the same notes, of a uplcndid affair" to come oil on the fifih of October, (the anniversary of the battle of the Thames.) at the City of Raleigh, in our own old North State. We hope it aiay not make our neighbor sick as well as "tired." The Carolinian says it has evidence which it con-aiders good, to piove that Mr. Ogle "was most likely drunk," when he made his celebrated speech on the expenditures of the President's House, Well the Carolinian must have a "most daring confidence ip the ignorance jof his readers," (to use his own words) to attempt to make them believe such stuff as this and he seems to be sensible of it too, for he also says his informant "is willing to affirm at any time" to it. If it were a fact that Mr. Ogle waa as is charged by the Carolinian one thing is certain, that drunk or sober, he hat made the administration 'eel and stagger under his speech, which waa unanswerable "in the House of Representatives" by any tober friend pf tbo A'islraUon, Dr.

A. COVINGTON, Secretary. Kitruordinanj Lata Case. Some 26 ago, an Irishman married a young -Lilian, his junior by 15 years, in Kngland, and setup a tavern on a large dc. A tine looking brawney fellow, fresh "tn the "Cireen Isle," became a lodger, '1 111 a nhort time, made love to the hos-' and prevailed upon her to elope to rn-a.

The lady, being the factotum of h'l'cl, converted every thing she could nic ntlv into cash, and with her lover, I ill tangibles that were portable, set for America, leaving her husband with empty house, and as she says, "to take Clre of its contents." The elopement was j1' well planned and executed that her "hereabouts" wa unknown for nearty 18 vhen lior forsaken lord, obtained ill Go, gallant chief, and bear with you the i gratitude ol your country. Go, under the 3S he'rlorv is identified .1 1 y. more dear to her but her laws nothing more sacred but her Constitution. Even an unintentional prrnr shall be sanctified to her Bfirviee. It teach posterity that the Government which could disapprove the conduct of a Marccllus, will have forlitude to crush the (vices of a Marius." These sentiments, sir, ieaJ to result.s jn which all must Unite.

-t-n Jackson Will Still live in the hearts of his fellow citizens, and the Constitution of our country will be immortal. Correpondnce cf the National Intelligencrr. Wm. M. Price, lale United States District Attorney, has put up his sign as "an Attorney and Counsellor at Law." It is known that the United States Government lias instituted a suit against him, but it is believed that it will never be called up for trial.

His bail is merely nominal, such persons having been accepted by tho United States authorities as must have been agreed upon prior to hU arrival here, inasmuch as they are not responsible for the amount alleged lobe due, and would not have been accepted bona fide in any parallel case. Mr. Price contends that the United States Governmnnt owes him a great amount, as I understand, cither eighty or forty thousand dollars. If he coutd sue the Government, it is Baid he would do so; but, as it is, he must bide their time. What meaneth all this? Is a trial feared? Are developments alarming? Has Tammany Hall taken New York city by "Funds," accounts of which in courts of justice would startle mankind? A new trick.

Bicknell's Reporter states that a counterfeiter has been passing through Ohio, who not only circulated fraudulent bills but produced a counterfeitcopy of "Bicknell's Reporter," by way of proving that thcy were fOQd..
