We make the following extract from the elo quent speech delivered by Mr. Everett at the recent public dinner in Salem (Mass.) The whole speech is admirable, and the subjoined j quotation particularly struck us as apposite and forcible: That we have touched a critical period, in the state of public adfairs, is too apparent to need to be formally stated. Did I not place 1 unbounded reliance on the stability and good sense of the mass of the People;—did I not know that the pilgrim stock is not run out, that the blood of our fathers still beats warm and undegenerate, in the bosoms of their children;; —did 1 not, above all, feel and see that the Whig spirit—that spirit of 76—is aroused and j abroad in the land, I should be almost ready, 1 confess, to begin to despair of the republic.j And when I say, despair of the republic, 1 speak 1 to the substance and spirit of the proposition. I mean that there is reason for alarm, as to the j continued operation and sway of the principles of republican government and liberty protect- j ed, as well as regulated, by law, which were embodied by our fathers in the Constitution. 1 do not mean that, in mv opinion, there is any danger that the Forms of the Constitution will be subverted. I presume thut, let what will be tide, we shall nominally have a President elect ed every four years; Secretaries theoretically amenable to Congress, although holding their official stations at the breath of the President’s mouth; and a Senate and House of Represen tatives to go through the forms of legislation, long after the familiar use of the Veto shall have reduced their action, on all important Questions, to viere form. This is the lesson of history. The forms of the Commonwealth in Rome were many of them kept up from the first to the last of the Ciesars.— The despots, who trampled her proud liberties into the dust, did It under the venerated name and ancient dignity of the Republic The Em peror who caused his horse to be raised *o the highest honors of the state, dared not discard the title of the magistracy, as it was administer ed by the Catos and the Scipios. He gave his horse an office, but it was a republican office. Rome could not be deprived of her consuls, although the consuls might be occasionally pro vided with an extra pair of legs. There are impressions made in the infancy of states as of men, which never wear out. I fake it the time wih never come, when the general frame work and official nomenclature of our Constitution will be abandoned. Even Napoleon after he had in fact, though not in name, made himself the Dictator of France, thought it expedient to nave it put to vote, whether he should be consul for life: and carried it, by a majority of more than three million and a half against a hand ful, of whom our own Lafayette was the only man of note. 1 happen to have in my pocket something like an occular illustration of those principles. Some body (a tory no doubt) lias palmed off upon my whig simplicity this ve ry day. lor a quarter of a dollar, a French franc piece, not certainly worth more than nine teen cents at best, and a good deal the worse for wear. What do we behold upon it? On one side, the oaken garland, emblem of the civic triumphs of regenerated France, surrounded with the auspicious legend Republique b'ran caise. And whose image and superscription, think you, on the other? Perhaps the emblem atic form of the goddessof liberty, as we see her on our own coins. Perhaps, Gen. Bonaparte;— the hatchet face of the youthful hero, fresh from the battle of Montemotte, Millesimo, and Lodi. Alas, no sir, a far different visage; your lean Cassius grown into your plump Augustus! the well known round and autocratic features of a later date, surrounded with the lofty inscription tfavoleon Empereur. They, therefore, of all the deluded, are the most wofully deceived, who slumber on, in con fiding apathy, and think the republic is safe, be cause its organic forms are not in appearance subverted. I tell you, sir, that if Napoleon him self could burst the rock of St. Helena, where he lies walled and clamped down fathoms deep, in the everlasting granite: and if. with him. could burst into life the ghastly millions, that fell upon all his battle fields from the frozen clods of Rus sia to the baked mud of the Nile, and land in one resistless host upon our continent and sub due it, he would leave you the forms of the Con 9titUtion; he would graciously allow you to be the agents of your own subjection and shame; and when he had desolated your cities, wasted your fair fields, plundered your substance, torn your sons from your arms, and drenched your hearths in blood, he would tell you he came for your good, that he came to rescue you from aris tocrats and monopolists, and to bring you hap piness and gloiyf! Hot Weather South The printers down east are trying, this warm weather, to see who can tel! the hottest story. In our latitude, such things come the natural way,without any efforts. The other morning, we were on the point of ad vertising a runaway kitchen girl, for a neigh bor of ours, when he came up blowing and dripping to countermand the order. In an apron full of melted spoons he had found an entire set of ivory dentals, which led to the conviction that poor Dolly hud gone into a state of amal garna'ion with the old pewter of the pantry. A fe.v day* since we understand, the nag of an itinerant Thompsonian Doctor, was seen grazing on a common up the country, fully ca parisoned. vtt destitute of a rider. Curiosity led to an examination; and finding, among the charmed \jmbers arid Lobelia, a single spur in each end of the saddle-bags, together with a large quantity of oil in a peculiar state of fixi ty, the conclusion was irresistible—all that was earthly of this votary of the doctrine, that ab sence of heat is the cause of dissolution,” had gone off in a volume of vapor. We have ne ver heard of any synthetic process by which such decompositions can be re-adjusted—and are therefore compelled to take up the lament of Othello, over this ill fated martyr in the heal ing art—“but once put out thine, thou cunningest pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promethean heat. that can again thy light relume.”—Mobile Merc. JOB PRINTING neatly executed at this office Sea Serpents.—A few years ago, a profession al gentleman, (a Doctor of Medicine) of -New England, and an obstinate non-believer in the Sea Serpent, was sailing in Boston Harbor with a party of friends. He had been out a day or two, when one tine afternoon two gentlemen, with an oarsman, got into the boat, and rowed off a little way to fish. Shortly afterwards those on board saw---the Sea Serpent. He seem ed to be two hundred yards long, and showed his train of bumps perfectly plain. The Doctor beheld him with wondering eyes, and mentally concluded that his doubts must now’ end. The great monster approached, and seemed to make for the small boat. “Good heavens!” exclaim ed everyone, “he will run the boat down! But it happened that they w’ere mistaken. He did not run it down, but he went so near, that the boatman struck him with his oar —ono to! the Sea Serpent disappeared! hen the boat came alongside, enquiries were made ot the boatman, what kind of u fish it was? Pooh, said he, “it was only a Horse Mackerel. And such has been ascertained to be the fact.— The description so often witnessed arises from a peculiarity this fish has at times in its swim ming. The peculiarities of many fishes are well known. Some cannot sink under watei for a moment. Others as the flying fish, can sustain themselves out of the water for some lit tle time. Others, as the Porpoise, throw their bodies with force out of the water, though only for an instant. The peculiarity of the Horse Mackerel is, that he cun swim for a time per pendicularly, with his head a fete feet out of wa ter. But to keep the body erect in the water, and to make progress at the same time, requires great force of the lower extremity, as every ex pert swimmer can tell. Accordingly, he is compelled to ply his tail with great force, and every stroke of it causes a swell in the watei behind, and a succession of these swells forms what has so often been taken for the blimps or protuberances of a sea serpent. And that is all! Here is the solution of the great mystery which has puzzled so many wise heads, for such a length of time, explained by the discovery of a very simple and intelligible fact in the natural history ot this fish.—.V.

Kentucky.—A letter to the editors of the Na tional Intelligencer says: Our Election is over, and the Jackson and Van Buren party are routed. Out of one hun dred members to our House of ltepiesentatives. they will not return, I think, more than twenty, if they exceed fifteen. This election gives u-r out of the twelve members returned from those counties, are the decided friends of the adini nistration. We present, this week, returns fror. three other counties.” The Milton Spectator of the 13th inst. say-: The returns, as far as received, are, we uo derstar.d, in favor of the Administration, win. the exception of one of the members from Franklin County.” On the other hand, the Salisbury (N. C Watchman says: The election for members to the next Gene ral Assembly, in this State, will take place on Thursday next, 14th inst. It is impossible to ascertain with much precision what wid he the political complexion of this body, but the op; nion expressed by intelligent men, who have had opportunities of knowing more on this sub ject than ourselves, is, that if every Jackson can i didate in the Stute should succeed, there would still be a majority of Anti-men on a joint ballot. Thev say, however, that no such contingency need be apprehended, for that, in the majority of instances where a trial of strength is expec t ed, the Heroites will be routed.” CHOLERA. The New York Board of Health, under dat? of August 16th, at noon, report that, since the previous day, there had been reported by phy sicians in the city generally, 26 cases of Chole ra, of which 12 have died, and four deaths of those before reported. The Board of Health of Albany reported, at 12 o’clock (noon) on the 15th, fifteen cases and three deaths of Cholera, in that city, during the three days next preceding. Severul cases of Cholera have also occurred at Detroit, principally among the colored popu lation. In Washington, (D. C.) the Board of Health report three cases, and add that “the exciting cause has been readily traced to the imprudent use of vegetables and fruits, perhaps too long gathered, and badly dressed.” There are no published reports of any case* having occurred in Philadelphia or Baltimore. Since the cases referred to by the Board ol Health of this place, in their publication in ye? terday’s Gazette, we have heard of no cast* o! Cholera, or indeed of any disease resembling i' The Boston and Charlestown excitement ap pears to have nearly subsided, and tiie autiion ties are busily engaged in collecting tacts an taking depositions respecting the transacts of Monday and Tuesday nights.

(O imposition having been practised upon the nub lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of'* Jud kins' Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the authority granted t. him in hi* letter* patent, now to call the Ointment alter his own name. Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT M ENT, (formerly Judkins1.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good ettects, I sent it to several physicians, with instruction* in w ia cases to apply it, who were of opinion that t e in ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occasionally Ml into many hand*. *oine of whom would probably undertake to make it. and knowing the difficulty of the proces.-ne vertheless. it might be progated in tin# sdulteraied si tuation, as it might in some degree resemb e t e ougi I nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedv for those obstinate diseases, .some of which have so long baffled the skill of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long stan ding, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlytnose hardened tumors in women’s breasts, winch oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by the name of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; 6th Sprains ami bruises of every description, or in whatever part situate; 7th Tetters of allkinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 8th Chilblains or parts affected bv trout. It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. For inflamed women’s ureasts ari l glandular swel lui/s, it is superior to any medicine vet known to the medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap plication.*, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold. This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand in», Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the exten-ai sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the ptogressof the caries, increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours.

Dzab Sib—It is now upwards of twenty years that I have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami ly, and alwaysfound them an efficient purgative in al most everv description of disease, and believe they sa« ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely use. 1 never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve- 1 ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you I bad made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac- ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this j impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WHITTEN SIGNATURES each bill of directions, and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respact. Finding those I had without this test, 1 be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as is politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for your pills, with your written signature. I found many without this test, but none with it, until 1 came to the Messrs Keerls’, who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a oox. and on using them, found the same effects from them I had always eaperienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my sel fin asposseion of a medicine I so highly prize, that that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this j information. tfj1 To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitation), as related above, the purchaser has only to examine the bill of directions cvcring each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, and prepared by me; but if orlx the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided. S. H. P- LKR, New London, Conn. Dec. 1821 HYGEIANI3IS. TUB following testimonials of the superior efficacy of the HYGBfAN MBDIUINK8 in the cure of our diseases, speak in a language which must carry conviction to the minds of the most skeptical: Brow* Usivshsitt, Dec. 25, 1811 To Mr. Samuel Young. Agent for the Ilvgeian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode Island. Sie—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com pels me. in compliance with your request, to give a brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I received from the Hygeian Medicines. 1 give publicity to the same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps, I may be useful to some of my fellow-mcn, who may be afflicted with a similar disease. Uv complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition maybe explicitly under stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the cure, some of the symptoms of the -disease. In Sep tember, 1832,1 caught a severe cold, which aettled on my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week, with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my cough soon abated, and apparently, I whs regaining my health; when, after about three weeks, in the course of the night, having returned the evening be f-,re in ostial health. 1 found myself ble-'dmg at the lungs. 1 bad not. to my knowledge, received any hurt or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut ed. 1 spat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left me with acme fever, pain in the breast, very little ap petite, and withal, very weak I A few weeks determined that I was in a decline I received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, j who often seemed to check the progress of the di« ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery But j rel'pse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower j than the preceding, seemed to bsffle all human skill, and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus, months after the first attack, a tubercle” [small ul cer] broke in the lungs, after which I spat blood, nnc 1 day. I continued to decline twomon'-hs longer, when I obtained the Hygeian Medicines. I had now been unable to sit up a whole dsy, for four months and a l half. My feet were cold and lifeless sleep unsound, cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi nute, food produced great distress, appetite very poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart, attended with some cough, &c. he. Such was my condition, when I first became acquainted with the Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi cines, four pills at a do^e, and increased the dose dai I ty, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten 'days, my appetite became good, and food produced 1 no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing, and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease i had nearly all disappeared I took the me licine sixty days regularly every night, averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num ber taken at any one time was fifteen. Af’erthis, 1 took about four doses a week, until I had taken about thirteen hundred pill-*, when I found myself restored I to health. After I commenced the llyg. ian, I took 1 no other medicine. One year from the first attack. I was able to resume my atudi s in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the j disease Hitherto 1 have been convalescent; and if i iny strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I have less pains, and am more free from temporary sickness, than a' any time since my earliest recollec tion. Vours, with respect, HORACE T. LOVE* I)u II SueriiKAni) Moat. Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after severe suffering, an:l employing a medical man three ycirs, was relieved by the use of th- Universal Medicines. Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her side; indeed, to use her own expression, her »s on one side had turned in, actually deformed The pain was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see vere, that she could not sit up for upwards of three years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hors e If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few, doses_pfNo. 1 un.i 2, alternately, about eight pit's for a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in their use, she is now restored to health; and I have no objection to this Cj>e being made public for the benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly, It. DYEH. Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb 8, 1834 Injustice to Dr. M. her medical adviser, when lie heard her improvement in health, he recommended perseverence in the use of he medicines This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on osth, as containing not me particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature o( man, and therefore dcstruc tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly harm'ess to the most ten ter age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pi asant and benign in it- operation, and at the ssme time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how ever deep, and of perfoimingu cure, that was ever offered to the world.
