Eruptions upon the Face, Pain in the Back and need, Female Ir. regularities and all improper,disehargesfrom both sexes. It matters not from what cause the disease originated, however long standing or obstinate the case, RECOSTRY is anr.ttzt, and inn shorter time than a perroattent cure can be effected by any giber treatment, even after the disease has bottled the skill of eminent physicians and re: sinted'all their means of cure. The medicines are pleas• ant without odor, causing no sickness and free from mercury or balsam. During twenty years of practice. I have rescued from the Jaws of Death many thousands, who, in the last stages of the above-mentioned diseases,' had been given up to die by their physicians, which war• rants me in promising to the aftlieted, who may plate themselves under my care, a perfect and. moat speedy cure. Secret Diseases are the greatest enemies to health. as they are the first cause of Consumption, Scrofula and many other diseases, and should mkt terror to the bu. man family. As a permanent ennuis scarcely ever ef. meted, a majority of the cases falling into - the hands of Incompetent persons, who not ally fail to cure the dis eases but ruin the constitution, filling time system with Mercury. which, with the disease, hastens the sufferer into a rapid Consumption. lint should the disease and the treatment not cause death speedily and the victim marries, the disease is en- tailed upon the children, who are born with feeble con- , stitutions, and the current of life corrupted by a virus which betrays itself in Scrofula, Totter, Ulcers, Erup tions and other affections of the Skin, Eyes, Throat and 1 Lungs, entailing upon them a brief : existence of suffer- 3 ing and consigning them to an earlygraVe. SELF ADUSE is another formidable enemy to health, for nothing else in the dread catalogue of human disca see causes so destructive a drain upon the system ; draw ing its thousands of 'victims through a few years of suf- : faring Own to an untimely grave. It destroys the tiers rolls System, rapidly, wasters away the energies of life, causes mental derangenteht,.pitiventalthe proper devet-a. opMent of the system, disqualitiesfor marrirge, society, busine.ss, and all earthly happiness, and leaves the suf tbrer wrecked in body or mind, predisposed to Consump- Um; and a train of evils more to be dreaded than death ; itself. With the fullest confidence I assure the unfortu nate victims of Self-Abuse that a permanent and speedy• cure can be effected, and with the abandonment of ruin ous practices my patients can be restored to robust, Nig- 3 crone health. The afflicted are cautioned against the use of Patent Medicines, for there are so many ingenious snares In the columns of the public prints to catch and rob the unwary sufferers, that millions have their constitutions ruined by the rile compounds of quack doctors, or the eqUally poisonous nostrums vended as “Patent - 31edicines." I have carefully analysed many of the so-called Patent Medicines, and find that nearly all of them contain Cor rosive Sublimate, which is one of the strongest prepare- Consul mercury and et deadly poison, which, instead of curing the disease, disables the systemfor life. Three-fourths of the patent nostrums-now in- use are put Hp by unprincipled and ignorant persons who do not understand even the, alphabet of the Marmaa Maws; and are equally as destitute of any knowledge of the hu man system, having one object only hi view, andlhat to make money regardless of consequences. • Irregularities and all diseases of males and females treated on principles established by twenty years of practice, and sanctioned by thousands of the most re markable cures.

Dr. 31 orscls IllAiillllllool Pills 1-0.. MORSE. the inventor of Mossn's maw ROO4 PI tte JLJ: has spent the greater part of his life in traveling, having visited Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well es North America—has spent three years among the Indians of our Western country7-it wag in this way that the Indian Root ' Pills were first discovered. Dr. 31orse was the fleet man to establish the fact that all diseases arise from Impurity of the Bloodthat our strength, health and life depended upon the vital fluid. - When the various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the different functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted and diseased; thus causing, all pains, sickness and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted, our health we are deprived of, and if maitre is not assisted in throning off. the etagnant humors, the blood will become choked and cease to net, and thus our light of life will forever be blown out. How important then that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open. And how pleasant toes that we have it in our power to put a med icine in your reach, namely, itlerse's Indian Root Pills, manufacturedlfrom plants and roots which grow around the mountainous entre in Nature's garden. for the health. and recovery of diseased man. One of the roots from which these Pills are made ie a Sudorific, which opens the pores of the skim and-assists nature in throwing out the finer parbrof. the Corruption within. The second is a plant which is an .eicirant, that opens and unclogs the passage to the lu ,isurrthus. in a soothing manner, performs fts duty by.• roering off pflegm, and other hu mors from the 11mgal:eel:pions spitting. The third is a Diuretic, which givetrease and double strength to the kid neys; thus encouraged, the") , diaw large amounts of im purity from the blood, which is thou thrown out bounti fully by the urinary or water passage, and which could not have been discharged In any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, and' accompanies the ether properties of the Pills while engaged In purifying the blood; thC coar ser particles of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets, are thus taken up and conveyed off in great quart titles by the bowels. • From the above, it is shown that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become uni ted with the blood, for they and way to every par and completely rout Out and cleanse the system from all im puritiea, nud the life of the body, which is the 'blood, be comes perfectly healthy; consequently ell sickness and pain is driven from the sistern, for they cannot remain when the becly becomes eo.pure and clear. The reason why people aro so distressed when sick, and bemuse why so many die, Is bee they do not get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts, and Which will open the natural passages for-the disease to be cast out; hence, I a large quAntity of food and other matter is lodged, and the stomach and Intestines are literally overflowing with the corrupting mass; thus; undergoing disagreeable fer mentation, constantly mixing with the blood, which throws the corrupted ma ttet through every vein and arte ry, until life is taken from the body by disease. Dr. Morse's PILLS have added, to themselves victory upon victory, by restoring millions of the sick to blooming health and happiness. Yeas thousands who have been racked or tormented with sickness, pain and anguish, and whose feeble frames have.been scorched by the burn ing elements of raging fever, and who have been brought ' as it were, 'within a step et' the silent grave, now stand ready to testify that they. would have been numbered with the deed, hml it not been for this great and wonder .fe I medicine, Morse's Lunen Spot Pills. After one or two doses had been taken; they were absolutely astonished, In witnessing their charming effects. Not only do they give immediate ascend strength, and take away all sick ness, pain and anguish, but they at once go to work at the foundation of the disease. which is the blood. , There fore, it will be shown, especially by three who use these Pills, that they will BO cleanse and purify, that disease— that deadly enemy—will take its flight, and the flush of youth and beauty will-again return, and the prospect of n long and happy life will cherish and brighten your days.

A TALE,:',QP.MNfirn.i7irA.T.,F,TA CHARLES It set upon the throne of his ancestors, the Puritans could only lament:their loss of pow er, and the 'sea-girt isle' was again 'merrie Eng land.' May-pules were again erected on every vil lage-green, yule-logs were in demand at Christmas time, and the tapsters were kept busy enough to supply the roysteringgallants, who had kept away from the ale-homes during the austere sway of ; iron-hearted Cromwell. It was at one of 'these resorts, known as the 'Crown and Anchor,' that a cold autumnal storm had brought an unuthial num- her of enrousers around the huge table. A pile of i logs blazed upon the hearth of a yawning chim ney, and east a lurid glare around the room, while the diicolered.aPpearance .of the rafters showed I that the north ; mustyeind ,nst Lave l_teken , liberties I YOug- oaken table was stud- I ded with high green flasks of Rhenish Wine, small I - glasses Perched on tiny steams, and brigh polish- I ed pewter tanknrds. There wet also a well thumbed copy of the latest number of the 'Flying Mercurier,' a small folio sheet, containing 'the freshest advice, foreign and &merle/ a draeght board and a peek of cards. Butthe chief attrac- I Lion was at the head of the board, where were greened the materials used in the 'taking of to. haeo,' to use the phrase of the day. The owner of this paraplircualia had that free, roysteriag air peculiar to the military men of those days, and wore his scarlet and blue uniform, trim mad with silver lace, in the true cavalier style.—. Erawinghis sword belt around in front, his rapier I stood between his knees, his plumed hat perch ed on the back of his curly . head, his waistcoat was buttoned away, - and a pair of immense droop- I lug Moustaches standing guard over his trible bronzed face, added to its impudently daring ex pression. *A song, a song from Major Rosman,' called out a shrowd.looking follow who was amusing himself by idly cutting a pack of cards, and who had no little-of the knave on his arch features. `Nay, nay, per Lac choo, rather calf on young Master Oakley,— who is among us for the first Tho young man, to whom all eyes were now directed, wore the full court dress of the time, and Ills finely, .embrolilpred - ruillr, in wbicia glistened alarge' , diamond, were not more delicate than was /Lis clear .eomplexion.

And in a full, clear voice he began a con rival song, which was soon interrupted by the appearance of a drummer lloy, who approached the singer, and said, without ceremony. 'There be trouble in the city, major, and Lord Roehester has sent to the barracks, with the king's permis sion, to have the train-banks ordered out at once.' 'A pest ou these Quakers,' exclaimed Itiajor Rosewell rising and adjusting his rapier. would as soon here old Noll back again.

An hour af terwards, and Major Rosewell, at the head of his men, rushed into the hall in Aldorsgate Street, where the Quakers were holding a meeting, and ordered them to dispel*, in the king's name.— No one moved. There they sat, with impressive countenences, pale ns death, the pikes of the rude soldiery encircling them with a bristling hedge of steel, nor•was it until the order had been thrice repeated, that the oldest among them replied.— 'Nay, friends, weave hear to worship the Almigh ty and think with the good manor the Scriptures, that we ought to obey God rather than man. 'Show your written orders,' brutally replied Major Rosewell. Then ordering his then to clear the hall, a frightful scene of confusion ensued.-- 'Regardless alike of age and of sex; the brutal hirelings dealt their blenvs freely, or seizing the unoffending by the hair, dragged . them forth.— Walter Oakley felt sick at heart, and bad turned away from the scene of violence in disgust, when two men hastened, past him, dragging between then a Qualteress.

Drawing his daughter's arm within his own, he started off, though not , so rapidly as .to prevent Joanna's giving Oakley a heartfelt 'Farewell, end many, many thanks.' The young man stood mo tionless.until they were out of sight, then slowly returned home, to recall the beautiful features as he hid seen tifelin by moonlight, The seeds of love had to'be sown in hishe'art, and in his dreams that, night they had germinated into those bright flowers of affetion which enliven existeneo. When Major ResolvelL called the next day, he found his young friend meditative. lTohad been to Mr. Milton's, but the poet's guests had deport ed for the coach office, nor could Thomas Elwood, the blind poet's 'feiretfiryigiske.naty:fuither infor mation concerning them than . that, they .were: Ste.: phen Duer and his fair daughter Joanna.' Two year passed, 'and the-once gay Walter Oakley had . hecoma.a Chosen dlaciPle of the staid William Penn.

Sylvania was the name chosen by the enthusi ast for the land over which he was, as the charter read, 'true and absolute lord,' hut Welting insist ed on prefixing the lord-proprietor's name.-- 'Pennsylvania' it was therefore designated, to the delight of the faithful, albeit some of them shook their heads at the charter, which authoriz ed 'Friend William' to make war, to levy troops„ to pursue his enemies by sea and by land, 'and, by God's assistance, to vanquish and take them.' The charter gave general satisfaction, however and soon a large colony was ready to sail for their new home, which they called the 'Holy Experi ment.' After a long passage, Gores* Penn disem barked upon his land of promise, nor was there any one in his numerous suite who took a deeper interest iu the new scheme of colonization than Walter Oakley. ThegmiuS of his leader illumi nated the young man's soul as with electric light, and he was honored with a high situation in the new colony. The government wa; first establish ed at Chester, where some honest English emi grants had: already: established Themselves, and' had founded a community title!' seemed a mod ern Arcadia to thoic just arrived from England. Autumn crone, and Governor Penn, attended by a few chosen attendan is (among them Walter Oakley,) ascended the Delaware in a shallop, to hold a 'Pow Wow' with the Leni Lenape Indians. Landing at ShaxaMaxon, they found the warri ors assembled beneath a majestic elm, arrayed in the full glory of n - aiptiint and feathers. The gov ernor had his presents carried on shore, and ad vanced, unarmed and unattended, to greet the wild group. 'We meet,' sale] he, 'on the broad pathway of faith and good will; no advantage shall be taken on either side, but all be gentleness and lore. I will not call you childret.—for parents sometimes chide their childreW too severely; nor brothers only—for brothers sometimes differ. The friend ship between me and you I will not compare to a chain, for that the rain might rust, or the falling tree might break. We aro the same as if ono man's body were to be divided in two parts—we are all one flesh and blood. The Indians received the presents of Penn with sincerity ; replying: 'We will lire in love with his children as long as the sun- and moon shall endure.' Philadelphia, the home of humanity, was forth with laid out and rapidly peopled; Quakers bast ing thither from all quarters as to tieity of re fuge. One day, a schooner filled with emigrants arrived from Rhode Island, and-among the heads of families who applied to Recorder Oakley fer lot:was- ilm:verierable . Duer. Ire had been per scented: anew in MaF.suelmsetts, and had hastened to enjoy the teleran*. rule of Governer Penn.-- Need we relate the joy with which Walter Oak ley not only found his heart's idol, but wrung, from Joannealips the confession that she, also, had loved him 'since his rescuo of her. A few years afterwards, Oakley, who bad risen to the vice-governorship, was forced to go to Bal timore, apan a 'disputed question of boundary.--: When he returned, rather to Joanna's disgust, he was accompanied by a rather dissipated looking old gentleman, , Who Was introduced as 'COlonel Roseirell; of the Maryland farces.' Joanna rath er bit hci. lip bugs smile stole over her face as her husband added: 'Ho was the officer who command ed at the dispersion of the friends' meeting on that memorable night, Joanna, when I first saw thee. Nay, had be not been inspired to invite me, I might never have seen thee.' 'Wo are happy to see then, friend Rommel I, said Joanna, with a smile of welcome.

"HUB ME, SHIPMATE." The following good story, with a moral to it, is told in Dr. Hall's Journal, a vary readable and deellent monthly . "Passing Mang Broadway, a vehipto was ar rested by come slight obstruction, and the torsos were not quite able to start it ; the driver saw at once that but very little aid was needed, and turning to another Jehtt, who was coming behind him, said-- "'nub me, shipmate!'

With these ri:i-nris constantly in view, I - shall in dulge the pleasiria hspe:tif doing good in the high station to which I , have'been called by the public voice, ann of--repressing sonic evils which-may_threaten the public wel fare, or the individual rights of the people. Fellow Citizens - (f: the Senate and House of liPpresentatives :—lt will be my ardent oesire to cultivate with you, as Representa tives of the people, the most amicable- rela tions, 'and to unite with you in the adoption of all such' measures as the public good may require. The different branches of the : gov 'ernment; althituglr - chargettWith'distinet du ties, are to be regarded us parts of one har monious whole; and it 18 well When all the parts move onward without jar,interference, or collision. .Nevertheless, the distinct du,. ' ties of the Executive, when duly and hon• estly performed, may occasion difference with the Legislature ; but, in such case it will be expedient to cultivate a spirit of compromise and coneiliathin for the distil. sal of such differences, or, at least, for mit igating the feelings of alienation to which 'they teed'. It is one of the duties 'of the Executive, from time to time, to give to the General Assembly information of the state of the Commcnwealth, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge expedient ; end under usage this is done by messages in writing, which are en tered among the public records and remain a part of the of history of the State.— I do not understand this as a power dicta ting to the General Assembly the -measures they shall adopt, nor even as a power of in itiating laws, but.as en informing and sug gestive power; in no respect trenching upon the just and proper jurisdiction of the leg islative -department of a free State. fit short, it was never intended to give a legal cOn.rol over the ,-.,ruceedings of the Repre sentatives of the people in the enactment of laws.„ It. is, therefore, a right of communi cation with them, which, while prudently and reasonably-exercised, can give no just occasion for jealouny, Objection, or emu- Plaint: The Executive, when exercising this right, is but performing a plain duty, nod can apprehend no difficulty in speaking with a respectful, freedom even upon ques tions where tin entire agreement of senti ment cannot be expected. But, there is an other and more delicate power which per tains to the relation» between the Legisla tire and Executive deparknenta. By the raventy , third and . twenty-fourth sections of the first article of the Censtitutian; all bills passed by the, General Assembly, arid most of the orders reeolutionswid-vetesin which They May concur, are submitted-to the. Ex ecutive, and if disapproved by hint can only be made valid by a vote of two-thirds of each House. This pnwer of disapproval is among the most important duties of the Ex ecutive, and is constantly becoming inure so. from obvious and natural causes. In my opinion it is the clear and binding duty of the Executive to return for reconsidera- ' tion every hill,ordee,resolution or vote, pre sented to him Which he cannot approve—in oth..r words, that the assent of his' judg ment and conscience shall he actually given to any measure before he permits it to take effect : unless, indeed, it be passed against his objection by a two-thirds vote. The words of the Constitution are, "H. lie ap prove he shall but, if he :shall nut approve, lie shalt return it. with his objec tions to the house in whiCh it shall base originated." Words could not coovey power,. and describe a ditty in a inure clear and definite:form. It is manifestly the in-- tention of the Constitution that the deliber• ate and conscientious approval of the Graver norehall be given to it bill:befure it becomes' a law, in addition to the 'approval of the two Ifauseo that have previously passed it; unless the majorities afterwards given to it upon re-consideration in each Ilouse, - shall he so tjecieive as to clearly indicate the wis dom of the measure. It is true that upon things trivial or indifferent, where no great interests are involved, nor constitutional principles in question, nor private rights as sailed, considerations of expediucey may be taken into account by the Executive; but certainly no substantial ~objection, whether of policy . or of principle, can be Waived , by him in view of his oatti_to support - the*.Con, stitution. • .Ten days (Sundays excluded - ;)iire allowed theZzecutive to consider to approve otyreto it, after which it will he , come his. eignature,='Wng preyjOil l t, returned.

But I I elieve this has only uccurre.l where the Executive has found it impossible to form a positive opinion even the 'measures—where, though not unobjectionable,it was trivial—or,where it was ma,nifekt that a veto would not cause its defeat. This Executive practive ought not 'to be ; e;tended,,and the prat ice itself is open to quest,ion.

Besides it great wrong may he done to those interested in legiSlation, by continui,ng them for an un• due p . etiod in uncertainly as to the fate of bills in which their rights., their property, or their business' may be involved. These are evils which an Executive may obviate, by settling his policy firmly in the outset of his administration. It *could he well, also, for the Legislature le so Shape its action as to avoid the necessity,of sending many int portant'bills to the Uovernor in the closing ,days or : lours of a session. Fallow-Citizens:—Although it will not be expected that I should at this time discuss in detail the particular questions which Will probably come before the government du ring my term, i de§iro briefly to give ex pression to the general views of public pol icy to which I hold ; in their application to practical issues now pending. The cur rency of,the Sts.te.is in such a disordered, condition, tint f a general and wholesome public opinion demands its reform, nod the establishMent of effectual barriers against futaire'cimpilsiuns. This is a subject which will test the intelligence, the firmness, and the patrintiwn 'of the Representatives of the people in the Legislative department, and may impose grave responsibilities upon the Executive. My views are decidedly hostile to the emission and cirenlatiun of small - notes as a currency ; to the increase of Banking capital under present arrange ments : and to the issues of bank paper upon securities inadequate for ihOr redemption. The wantrof isiiiformitY it, the legal provi sions under Which- extseing banks operate, is objectionable.' In the reV.•,,sion and amendments of our battking system, the public interests in my opinion demand the extension of the specie basis upon which issues are made ; the suppression al the smaller denonyination of notes heretofore allowed ; thorough reports of the condition and buSiness of banks with their frequent publication; additional stieurity,to:her than specie) to CialgiSt of the bonds of this State or of the United StateS, for the redemption of circulating notes, including in all cases prOper individual liability :7f stockholders and diremors, fitted for convenient and no Wel enforcement ; with a supervisory and controlling power in smile proper ()Meer or department of the Cloveroment •to restrain or suspend the acti-n of banks in case of their violntian ur evasion of the law. When aspecie currency shall be scented to the people by prohibiting the circulation of bills of a small denomination, it will be highly desirable that the fiscal affitirs ef•the State government shall be wholly separated from these of the .bmiks: in other words, that the money trans , ottions of the govern ment both in. its collections and diAlairse mints shall ' e in the legal coin of the coun try. Whenever it practicable, ccmvenient and efficient scheme Mr the Operations of the Treasury upon such abat-is can he ',rese tt led to me by the Representatives of the people. it will meet with a ebeer:Olappnwal. There are difficulties in the eiise, however, far greater than those suriummted by the gon eral goverriment. in ,the establishment nt its independent Treasury system t' but the object being one of the first' Magnitude ; and calculated to exercise n •most salutary influence upon the action of the government, and upon the business of the banks and the people, it is well worthy of earnest consid erati::o.

From the earliest period of our history, it has been the policy of Pennsylvania to educate all her eitisens; and at this time our institutions of learn ing and edueationel facilities are equal to those of env country. Out-Common Selma:system isjust s ly distinguished as one of the most practical and efficient in the Union. Let us then cherish thin traditional policy, coming down to us from the fathers of the Commonwealth, and byevery means in our power foster and strengthen the measures now successfully producing the results so ardent ly desired by the patriotic men who have gone before us. Whim ncr domestic eCeirs and policy naturally will metre most of the attention of our Govern ment and our people, it is not to be forgotten that Pennsylvania boars very interesting. eeletions to the other States of the . confederacy, and looks with an anxious eye to the proceedings and policy of the General a oeern men t, It is both our duty and our interest to cultivate the most friendly relations with oar sister States and to frown upon all at tempts to sow among them feelings of alienation. We should exert our whole influence to keep the government of the Union in its true position, as the common agent of the stater end the people, exercising high,powera in trust far their advantage and welfare, and deriving n a I its powers from the Written constitution Which =lied it into being.— At this time we have strong reason to confide in that Government, as we know that its adminis tration is in safe, able and patriotic hands; and that it may be trusted to deal justly with all sec tions of the country. Insubordinstion—an utter disregard and con tempt of just and lawful authority—has hereto fore produced &Meld ties in the Territories of Kan sat and Utah, and, in the ease of the latter, tea now precipitated a state of armed ty between the inhabitants and the General G overernent.— In the former, the peaceful American remedy for the redress of political grievances, real or imagie wry—the ballot-box—hes been for a long time adjured by a considerable portion of the papule - tion, end a struggle between legal authority and unlawful end irregular combinations continued down to the present period. Meantime, v.-0U tri b - tione of money and aid from the Stater, have kept up excitement and terbulenee in the Territory and enabled designing men there to inflame passions, which otherwise would long since have eubsided. The judgment anti opinion of the country can- IRA be too' strongly consolidated in favor of the laws, end flg:tillSt ell who rise up to oppose them by unatulvirized nicolV. Nor can the axenee for reaistanee to time Territorial laws, entl'for failing Jo perform thethitie , , of citizenship under thrm, that wrongs and fronds were perpetrated at elections, be admitted as a jrtstifieetien.

It was natural, perk- pa in v itable. that this voltam.% try a party in the territory should :provoke an opposite party to teeny unjustifiable nets, end to much imprudent and t orearonable eon ite t. Thus extremes net and re act upon each other, and when the laws are defied and individu al action let loose, wrong, outrage and violence are necessary results.
