proclaim tlial the Constitution and tlie laws are 

 supreme and the Union indissoluble.'''' 



The house of representatives directed 25,000 

 copies of this Message to he printed. Mr. Cal- 

 houn said he would not notice all the errors in the 

 Message, but declared the movements of S. C. 

 were not hostile to the Union. 



Pennsylvania in favor of the present Tariff. A 

 resolution, offered by Mr. Miller, has been adopt- 

 ed by the Legislature of Penn. expressing their 

 opinion that the bill now under consideration in 

 the House of Representatives of the U. S. ought 

 not to become a law, and that no reduction of du- 

 ties ought to be made calculated to afl'ect the suc- 

 cessful prosecution of our domestic manufactures, 

 or in any way to impair the faith of the Govern- 

 ment, by which the enterprise of our citizens 

 would be checked, and successful competition re- 

 tarded. 



Pensions. The superintendent of the Pension 

 Office, Washington, notified officially that there 

 are in his office on file 12,000 claims for pensions 

 under the act of June 2, 1832. 



Title to a Bill. The New York Advocate pro- 

 poses that the title of Mr. Verplanck's bill, now 

 before Congress should be — "A bill to prostrate 

 the industry of the free people of the United 

 States, and to substitute the industry of the de- 

 pressed population of Europe, particularly the 

 .pauper-labor of Great Britain." 



A violent eruption of Mount Etna took place 

 on the 17th and 18th of November, which destroy- 

 ed Bronte, a town situated nine leagues from Ca- 

 tania, and containing a population of 10,000 per- 

 sons. 



Meetings are announced or have been held, in 

 the New York and Philadelphia papers to remon- 

 strate against the reduction of duties on imported 

 articles, and oppose the passage of Mr. Ver- 

 planck's Tariff bill. 



Union Meetings. The Southern papers give 

 accounts of meetings of friends of union, in all 

 parts of the Southern States. These meetings are 

 particularly numerous in South Carolina. 



The United States Gazette says "the nullifica- 

 tion men of South Carolina have mounted the 

 ^^blue cockade." It will impart a portion of its own 

 hue to its wearer." 



The number of deaths in New York last year 

 was 10,359, being 3996 more than ever occurred 

 before in any one year; 3515 died of cholera, chol- 

 era morbus 93, consumption 1415, convulsions 

 501, intemperance 119, small pox 89. 



The Jeffersonian, a New York paper, has a 

 large rat-trap placed' over the list of marriages. 



EXPRESSES. 



The Richmond Compiler of the 8th inst. says: 

 "We hear rumors of two expresses having passed 

 through this city from Washington for the south ; 



but wko sent them, and what is, their errand, is not 

 even conjectured. And, indeed, the previous 

 question seems yet to be settled, viz: whether there 

 were any expresses at all." 



The Petersburg' Intelligencer of the same date 

 remarks: — "On Saturday morning last, about ten 

 o'clock, a government express from Washington 

 city passed through the town, and proceeded south 

 in great haste, but where bound or whether its 

 errand was 'wicked or charitable,' this deponent 

 saith not. 



The Alexandria Gazette copies the above and 

 a<lds: — "We can throw no light on the nature or 

 character of these expresses ; but we have heard 

 that relays of horses have been placed at different 

 stations on the southern road from this town, by 

 order of the government." 



We beard it mentioned in Philadelphia on Sat- 

 urday, that the rmnored expresses were for the 

 arrest of some of the leading nullifiers of South 

 Carolina. This is, however, altogether improbable 

 as no overt act has yet been committed. Still, it 

 is evident that there is some mysterious business 

 in the wind. 



Remedy for the Fever and Ague. 30 grains of 

 salt of wormwood, — 20 grains Virginia snake root, 

 — J an ounce of red bark — 1 gill of molasses. 



The above is to be properly incorporated and 

 one-third of it taken when the fit comes on, one- 

 third in four hours afterwards, and the remainder 

 in the next succeeding- four hours.
