•*\'•'•». are friendly to domestick macfactures, as follows: Under these circumstances we do most cordially agree with the Pennsylvania Soci- ety, a* to the expediency of holding county conventions in the several counties of this state, to consider and confer upon this im- portant and interesting subject. And do likewise recommend, that at such conv enti >n one or more delegates be elect- ed to attend the pro. osed convention to be holden at Harrisburgh, in the state of Penn- sylvania, in order that the result of the delib- attous of the conventions So held, may be presented to congress at an early day of their next ensuing session. And we do further recommend, that a county convention be held at the Court House, in the city of Troy, on Wednesday, the 27th of June inst. consisting of delegates to be chosen by each of the several towns in the county of Rensselaer, for the purposes aforesaid.

As we have learnt from our Navy Agent in this place that Commo- dore Badgers has ail the naval force under his command engaged in suppressing pira- cies in the Archi'iellago, and that it would be extremely doubtful whether he would have it in his power to grant us a convoy, even if we were to go to Port Mahon and request it, we have adopted the resolution of sailing to-morrow evening for the Island of Cerigo, and from thence to Napoli di Rom- I ania.

Such acts, reason, and revelation declare to he the most heavenly charity, and of a nature pre-eminently calculated to af- ford satisfaction to th« mind, when earthly objects have lost theirpower to charm. Wishing you. gentlemen, every success as a committee for a rnosl charitable object. and health aud prosperity as individuals, 1 subscribe myself your obedient and humble servant. \ \ J. P. MILLER.

It is now eight weeks since we inves- tigated a number ol'caces in which Dr. Chambers' remedy foi int* inperanee has been applied, and reported the re Milt. Within the pist week we have inquired into the same cases again, in infer to ascertain the continuance of the cure. One of the men, having changed his residence opj the 1st of May, could not be found. Another, who Dr. C. says relinquish- M itw. O.O^IJ iii4 pi t'.Bii.tu. c l-r, l.utf .*o turned to his old habits. Another, who look the medicine riiore than four months ago, has drank no ar- dent s-'iiits to this day ; but has several times hecome intoxicated with strong beer. Another, who took the medicine 19 weeks ago, after losing his appetite for sjjiius, resorted to strong beer. At length he took the medicine in this also and has since resorted to eider. His fiiends inform us that he has drank neither spirits nor beer since taking the medicine in each, and that he purposes to take it in cider also. Another, so far as wa could learn, has tasted of no aident spirits since ta- king the medicine, (three months ago) and is thoroughly temperate. In the eours\ of our inquiries, we were informed of another case, where, after taking the medicine twice the patient had drank no ardent spirits tor three months. He now drinks a little ; but is unable to make way with any consul -table quantity. This man h.id been bug addicted to intemperance and by it bad greatly injured his health We also heard of another man. a tai- lor, who tor three months since taking the medicine, has continued tempeiate. Dr. Chan hers informs us, that the whole niuubet of cases in which he has administered the medicine gratis, is nearly two thousand ; and that very few instances of its failure have come to his knowledge. He warrants a cuie to all those who place themselves under his personal care. His charges to such as are able to pay, are $5 or upwards, according to the circumstances of the individual. Several cures, by the same medicine, are repelled in Boston and elsewhere. From tiese facts, in connexion with others betue stated, every man can dtaw hisovn inferences. For ourselves, we see no 'eason to question the gener- al efficacy «1 the remedy for a time, say from two tc three or four months, or or longer ; tiough we very much doubt whether the cuie will be permanent, without farihtr application of the same medicine. Indeed, in commnn cases, we cannot think it will be. For, the main principleon which a cure is effec- ted, we consider die same as that by which some perfons conceive an aver- sion to certain a titles of food, as honey- roasted apples, fee. in which they have taken a nauseoe medicine, or which they have eaten|n an unhealthy state of the stomach. We have known one instance, in wh'th this disgust extended to a particular spoon, in which an of- fensive medicinehad been administered. Now it is true, hat io some of these ca- motion was notw ithstanding this, lost. Small Wit. —There is a paper at \Ve would advise Messrs.

We feel pretty confident, however, that it will; and that under Divine Providence, we shall have it in our power, at no very i-istant day, completely to unmask the bloodiest baud of miscreants, and the (lie most bloody act of assassination, that ever disgraced the annals of any age or cououy. \ High and Honoura- ble\ as some of the murderers, and their accessaries, were not long since declared to be by a certain western ed- itor—(a verbal declaration made to us) —they shall not escape ; although the editor, alluded to, did say, that they were men of such honourable standing, that we (meaning those who have taken a stand in this case for civil liberty and law) could not convict them, and if we did, could not have the law executed upon them !
