- 7 . - Junius snys that injuries may be for giien, but insults so debase the mind be low its level, that nothing but revenge can satisfy it. Blair, of the Gldbej calls the South Carolina politicians "our State Rights Friends," and possesses too much respect for them to suppose their conli dence would be won by hollow ilattety." &c. Now this is combined insult and in jury of so gross a character, that on Junius' principle ,nonhing shoft of Blair's ears can atone for it.-Rich. Whig. The above extract is both truculent and amusing. The South Carolina politicians care vfry little, what Blair calls them. All they ask, is for the Administration to carry out its professions honestly and fear lessly. It is said to be good for a man to know the opinion of his neighbors about him. The following is the opinion of a contem porary, just over the Savannah riverabout South' Carolina. Though it is unfavora ble,, it is expressed in a bumorous man ner. From tk Augdsta Chron. & Sentincl. While on the subject of toasts. perhaps we had as well give our neighbors of Carolina a hearing. If they dont cheer as long and as loud as we do in Georgia, it is not because they don't entertain a good opinion of themselves. 8. South Carolina-The Flag Ship of the South, with John C. Calhoun for her pilot, she can brave the loudest and the longest Ompest. [13 cheers.] Toast in Edgefleld. This is all a mistake-she was once a flag ship, but site has been razeed. She is nothing now, but a 'low black schooner with rakish masts," and ofr oubtful char acter. She has lately been taken into the service of Government to do a small coast. ing business, until after the Presidential election in 1840. We said she was once a flag ship: so she was, and her pilot after a long cruise, being too anxious to run her suddenly into port, for his own benefit, at tempted to bring her in through the Sub Treasury pass, and she immediately foun dered in shallow water. The injury she received by this act of raqhness, was so great, as to render it necessarv to cut her down, which was done accordingly. It is stipposed that in a short time, she will be placed undet command of Comnindore Benton, and employed in making gold "flow up the Mississippi river." The right spiri.-The New Yorker, an ahle Whig paper not long since, thus favorably noticed the appointment of Mr. O'Sullivan, one of the editors of the Dem ocratic Review, to the Secretaryship of Legation, at Paris; '-We observe that some of the opposition papers display that blindfold ignorance which is the usual con comitant of violent party spirit, in their denunciation of Mr. O'Sullivan's appoint ment. . The Rppointment is an excellent one and we respect Mr. Van Buren for hil. sbperiority to that prejudice, which su poses that the pursuit of Literature unfits a man for the active business of life." This extract exhibits a comumenda' 'e liberality in a Whig paper. Mr. Van Buren certiinly merits praise,fortthe fav~" which he has bestowed upon several liter ary metn. -From Cicero's Thoughts. TRANS5LATION BY THE E.OtToa. THE EXISTENCE OF A SUPREME BEING. Can we cast our eyes towards heaven, and contem plate all which transpi req there, without possessing Eeer possible evidence that it is governed, by one Supreme-one Divine Intelligence ? When we beh~otd the beauty and the splenrdor of heaven the quickness of its motion, which is so great, that we can form no conception of it, the vicissitudes of the days and nights the change of the four Seasoos,which serve to ripen the fruits of the earth, and to preserve our bodies in health; wvhen we see the earth peopled with animals some to sustain us, others to clothe us, these to div our' burdens, those to gill our fields, that man is placed here to look up to heaven, and to honor the Godj, that every country, and every sea but minister to his necessities; can wve in the view of this spectacle, doubt that there is one Being who has either formed the wvorld. supposing that according to the opinion of Plato, it was fortmed; or that a Being conducts and governs it, supposing ac cording to the notion of Aristotle, that it existed from all eternity? A very stt'ong proof of the existence of God is, that there is no people-so barba rons, no man so degraded, whose mind is not fillied with this belief. 'Tis true, many nations have no just idea pf a God ; they suffer themselves to he led away by erroneous, relgious opinions, but all agree in the belief of a Bivine Power-of a Su preme Being. You ask of me, what is Godi I will ans~weY you as Simonides did the tyrant Hiero, who proposed to him, the same question. At first he required one day to think of it; the next he required two days. As he doubled the numbier of days he requiredl, each time, Hliero wished to know the cause. "Because," said tie, "the more I reflect on the subject, the more obscure it appears to me!" WVhen the sage said to man, "know thy self," it was not' merely for the purpose of humbiling his pridle, but also to tnake him feel his own value; Every man who will .retire into himself, will discern the traces of the Divinity. Looking upon hzimself, as a templle, in which the Gods havo placed his soul a an image of them selves, lie will entertain no thoughte, he will commit no acts, which do not befit the dignity of the present. THOUGHTS. Alan should prefer the testimony of his conscience to all subtle reasoning. Though our sight should he the keenest, saysPlato, yet the eye could never discover ivisdom. Oh! if she were hut visible, with what love would the hearts of men warm towards her! After Wisdom, I look uponFricudship as the richest present, which the immortal Gods have made us. Soine prefer riches, some health, some p6wer, ethers hon ors, and many even pleasure, This last belongs to the brutes, and with regard to the rest, they are frail, uncertain ihings, depending less on ou-r prudebce than on E'ortune. You haire tiches, but to use, character to be esteeniedP.-honora to be praised-pleasure to be enjoyed, health to reel no pain, and to resist bodily fatigue. But Friendship is a never-ending resource. On all sides, it is offered to you-in every placeit exists-it is never importunate, never burdensome. CICERO. Mecklenburg Declaration of Indepen dence.-Much has been said about this celebrated Declaration. Some have doubt ed whether it was ever made. There can be no doubt that it toas proclaimed in the month of May, though a spurious copy was published, and was regarded asgenu ine. We copy the following from the Eastern A rgus: M1ECKLENBURG DECLARATION OFINDEPENDENCE. THE QUEI-TION SETTLED.----fessrs. Editors..-Under the above head, the Southern Literary Messenger fur June, contains an article similar itt character to the one in your paper of Saturday last, in viudication of Mr. Jeterson. The Mes senger, however goes farther and furnishes a copy of the Mecklenburg Declaration tide by side with the spurious one, upon the btrength of which Mr. Jeffierson has been charged with plagiarism. A news paper, published July 12, 1775. contain in; the genuine copy, has recently fallen into the hands of Mr. Force, the present Mayor of Washington. The genuine copy is dated May 31, 1778, and the spurious one, May 20, of the same year. The writer in the Messenger correctly remarks, that "this genuine copy complete ly acquits Mr. Jefferson of the improbable charge of plagiarism, which party zealots first industriously propagated, and care less reasoners too readily admitted. It does not contain a single expression or phrase, which is to be found in the decla ration of Independence, adopted by Con gress. The spurious copy contained sev ,ral, which are here printed, and which from the first, led many to doubt its au thenticity." From the.Globe.

The subjoined brief, but touching ac count of the death of a young lady, in Salisbury, North Carolina, we copy fromt the Western Carolinian. The death of t' fellow creature of any age is saddetning.

MELANCHOLY CASUALTY. We are called upon to record, wvith no ordinary feeling of paitn, the occurrence of an accident, which has filled our Commu nity with gloom, distressine in its sunlda fiess, and overwhelming with melancholy regret lor the sad fate of one so young, fair-, and lovely. On the morning, of the 1oth,Miss lary Macnamara a daughterofCol.

She was taken up. but after reviving a moment sunk in the slumber of death. The blow against the tree, was on her chest, which produced a concussion terminating her ex istence. This sudden calamity has fallen with terrible neight upon her bereaved family, and w hile we well knotn the unavailing force of words td console the bitterness of such affliction, we give but an expression" to our own, as well as the feelinrs of iany,' in offering sincere and heartfelt conddlence and it is our duty, as it is a melancholy satisfaction, to pay to the memory of the departed, that tribute which is due to her worth, in saying truly, that one more pure and lovely in life and conduct we have never known;-unaffiected in kindness of heart. gentle and courteous in manner to every one, she possessed the universal es teen & regard of all who knew her.-It is a grievous thing to be borne, yet while the utflicted relatives and friends are bendihg over her grave with tears of bitter regret libr their own bereavement, they should re muember that for her, it is a change not to be lantentedf since she has passed away in the idrily of early existetce,-whiile tle sunshine was yet about her-frodi ii scene of vanity and strile, to a region where the troubled passions of this life are hushed into a repose glorious, happy, and etdu ring forvvur, Outrages among the Cherokee Indians neur Fort Gibson.--liURD..tt OF JoHN JUDoE AND HiS FATHEtt, &c.-$y a let ter received in thts city yesterday, from one of our citizens at Fort Gibson, Arkan sas, we are informed that about a week since the celebrated chief John Ridge and his father, two of the most prominet per sons in the nation were most brutally and savagely murdered, and that John Ross, the leader of the opposition party has, in conseqitence thereof, been conmpelled to take up hi6 quarters at Fort Gibson for personal security. From the saie source we also learn that a Mr. Wright aid thur children were inhumanly murdered, about the 19th June, near Cave Hill, WashingtoncountyArk,, for ioney, as it was supposed. It was generally believed at Fort Gibson, that the perpetrators of this act have been pur sued and taken with many others of noto rious character, and that the law will be dispensed with, and they be dispnsed of very summarily by Judge Lynch.-Yatch es Courier.

For the last six months of her life, the deceased had suffered under an acute and consuming pulmonary complaint; during her protracted illness, her natural disposi tion chewed itselfin bright belief. Always gentle, tranquil and unobtrusive, she was fortified by the sustaining influence of a christian piety; which. when i: is genuine, never forsakes is possessor itr the hour of death. For the last eight years, she was an exemplary member of the Baptist Church. The tears and synpathetic regrets of children are nature's evidence of sorrow & gratitude, and are true and genuine tributes to a good heart. By her pure and disin terested benevolence, the deceased had won the love ot all the children about her -aid their tears at her grave, bore touch ing testimony of the feeling which her pure heart and kind deportment had in spir-ed.

Look at the differeuce between the appearance of those two persoris one has beetn treated by your regular practi tioner-see how pale'and debilitated he is, soo how the shadow of death throws his -solitary glance from his emaciated countenance, see - howl he trembles in every limb; his eyes sunk, his teeth destioyed-his constitution perhaps, irrevocably gone-yet, just hear how the Dod tor arrogates to himselfcredit. He says, "most inveterate case of liver complaint"-"nothing hut the most energetic remedies sared him." Energetic measures! i. e. Mercury and Bleed im.. ruined his constitution, better eaf. So to save life. you must half poison with that com forter ofthe teeth and gms-MERCURY. and positively make a man miserable the sad remainderol'his existence; this is caliedcuring. Shocking filly! Let ns iiow look at your "purged" man-tho. man who has taken Brandreth's Pil!s for Liver Complaint-he has the finn, elastic tread of conscions strength, his countenanceis clear and serene, his eye is full and sparkling with the feelig of neiw life and animation; he has been confined a few days to his bed, but ho used nothing but the Tita BRANDRETH ParL, and soon rose without airy injury being sustain ed by his constitution. Instead of being moutha in a weak state,he will be strnger after he hai - entirely recovered the aliack; because his blood and fluids have become purified, and havin purged away the old and impure fluids, the sof ids are thereby renovated, and he is not borne down by useless particles, but has renewed his life and body both. This principle of purtring with Brandreth's Pills, removes nothing Eut'the useless and de cayed particles from the body,-the morbid and corrupt humors of the blood; those humors which cause disease-they impede the func tions of the liver when they settle upon that organ. and which when they settle upon the muscles, produce rhenimatism; or, upon the nerves produce gout; or. upon the lungs proe duce consumption; or, upon the intestines, coa tiveness; or, upon the linings of the blood fee sels, apoplexy and paralysis. and all the train of disorders so melancholy to the suffereri and all who behold them. . Ye, purging these humors from Ws b'od is the true cure for all these complaints, and every other form of disease; this :s no eser assertion, it is a demonstrable truth, and each day it is extending itself, far-and wide it is be; coming known, and more & more appreciated4 The cure by purging may more depend ape the laws which produce swe'einess or ptritf than may be generally imagined. Whatever tends to stagnate will produce sickness, be cause it tends to putrefaction,therefore the ne cessity ofeonstant exercise' When constant exei ecannot be used FROM ANY CAUSE, the occasional use of Oramnto Mozrctza is ABSOLUTELYrequir ed. Thus the counnrs of the Br.oon, the FOUNTAIN oF IE are kept free from those hmn pmurities which wvouki prevent its steady cuvr - rent ministering health.
