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

Lungs, entailing upon them a brief : existence of suffer- 3

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

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.

Oh t could there - In this world be found
, Some little spot of happy ground, '‘
Where village pleasure might go round
Without the village tattling;
now doubly blessed that piano would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free fromthe-bitter misery
Of gossip's endless prattling.
If such a spot were really known,
Dame peace might claim it 11l her own,
And in it she might lix her throne
forever end forever.
There like s queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive -
The - little slights they might receive,
And be offended never.

CHARLES It set upon the throne of his ancestors,
the Puritans could only lament:their loss of pow

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

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

was buttoned away, - and a pair of immense droop- I

bronzed face, added to its impudently daring ex

*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.

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. What say,
Oakley, will you join me in a broad-brim hunt?'
and rising, ho left the room, followed by Oakley,
who just launchedfoith into the gaity of the dis
solute mUropolis, by the death of a.wealthy
was induced to join the swaggering soldiers by the
same love of excitement that would have led him
to join a fox-hunt or bearbaiting. 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. 'Help! help!' she said, drug

attested Oakley , to the rescue. • •

His companion in guilt, alarmed, took to Ms heels,
and Oakley fou4himself alone with the young
Quakeress. Ere',slie' bad 'ceased pouring forth her

Farewell.'
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. Vrinking in the counsels of his
teacher, he had given 4 the vanities of the world,
practising virtue for les own in trisic
Ho had never again Beard of the Doi;rs, but the
rememberance of Joanna lingered amid his
thoughts, as a fragment flower of heauty.
Tho defeat of Algernon Sidney at the general
election di!sipated every hope of justice from an
English parliament, apd•tbe'leading Qtfikerb de
termined-0) seek an asylum in the New World.—
Taller Oakley entered heart sod soul into this
scheme, which upheld (he' novel idea' that man
possessed capacity for self-government, and soon,
to his delight, the 'merry monarch signed a char
ter, giving the sturdy Quaker sovereignty of a
great province, as a receipt in full fur a govern
ment.debt of -some sixteen thousand pounds,: be ,
quentlied by old Admiral Penn to his son.
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!' '

and without a moment's hesitation or stop, so,
guided his own horses as to make the hub of his

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,

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

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

and calculated to exercise n •most salutary

we may well be proud of this Peutasylvania of

She hos become greet, pro..perous and.powerful ;

- aOrtrees; which are great and first in importance,
she is capable-of - producing in untold quantities
those two articles of prime netessitY end univer
sal use, Iron and Coal. 'Ryon in times of wide
spread litioneial ca:amity, when speculation r.nd
extravagance have done theirWor.4 to cripple the
operations of capital, andatay the hand of labor
in its useful toil, theleeding interests of our State
may lm.counted among the first_to revive and to
furnish a 'strong and reliable basis for the resump

and in all the operations of trade: That govern

great and 'capital interests.
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

which the troubles Kansas have heretofore pro
ceeded. 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

are necessary results.
Thu last phase of the li'ansns queidisn, which is

Couve»tion, 1< peculiarly for the judgment of Con

ie confided by the constitution of the Union. The

by their oaths of office ; and with full information

of a final judgment. Events are con tartly oc
curring in the territory which will afford matter
for Congressional debate, and may affect the
t imate decision.
'lO the people of Pennsylvania the admission of
a new State into the Union—into that confedera
ey of wh lett she n immber—mustbe at all times
a slinject'of high interest. And 1 believe I express
their .entiments as well PP my own, in declaring
that all the qualified electors of u Territory, should
