There i-s reason to l.elieve that an
armed expedition is nhi ut to be fitted out
the 1 nited Flutes with an intention to
,nvade the island of Cuba or some of the ■
|,ru\inces of Mexico. The best informa
tion which the Executive Ims been able to
obtain points to the island <d Cuba as the
object of this expedition, it is the duty of
th,.s Govtrnineiit t. obsetve the faith of
irea'ies, and to prevent any aggression by
our citizens upon the territories ol ftiend
|v nations. 1 have therefore thought it
necessary and proper to issue this procla
mation, to warn all citizens of the United
chutes, who shall connect themselves with
mi enterprise so grossly in violation of'our
laws am! our treaty obligations, that they
will thereby subject themselves to the j
heavy penalties denounced against them bv
our acts of Congress, and will forfeit their
claim to the pi', tection ol their country.
No such persons must expect the interfe- j
rence of this Government, 111 any form, on ;
the it behalt, no matter to what extremities
ttiev may be reduced in consequence of
their conduct. An enterprise to invade
the territories of a friendly nation, set on
foot and prosecuted within the limits of the
United States, u in the highest degree crim
inal, as tending to endanger the peace, and
fompromit the honor, of this nation ; and,
therefore, I exhort all good citizens, as 1
they regard our national reputation, as
they respect their own laws and the Jaws
of nations, as they value the blessings of
peace and the welfare of their country, to
discountenance and prevent, by all lawful
means, anv such enterprise ; and I call
upnn everv officer of this Government,
civil or military, to use all efforts in his
power to arrest for trial and punishment
every such offender against the laws pro
viding for the performance of our sacred
obligations to friendly Powers.
Given under my hand, the eleventh tlav
of August, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and forty nine, and
the seventy-fourth of the independence of
the United States. Z. TAYLOR.
By the president:
J. >l. CLAYTON, Secretary of State.
We copy the above proclamation from
the -V ational Intelligencer of Tuesday,
which, in publishing it, says it was received
at the Department of State, on Monday,
from Harrisburg, in a communication from
Piesident Taylor. In reference to the
Proclamation, the Intelligencer has the
following remarks :
• For some weeks past the errantry has
been disturbed with rumours of the assem
bling and drilling of bunds of men in dif
ferent parts of the United States. Various
places have been artfully designated as the
object of their destination. Tampico and
me Sierra Madre Provinces of Mexico,
Yucatan and Cuba, have all been alluded to
in connexion with the enterprise. But the
truth ha# been studiously concealed by the
leaders engaged in it. The common sol
diers who have been enlisted were not to
be entrusted with the secret as to the object
to be effected until after embarkation.—
Haw far the expedition has proceeded we
know not. But we do know that bands of
men have lately assembled at a point not
far from New Orleans ; and that the ev
idence is clear that Cuba is the real object
of those engaged in it. Most earnestly do
we hope that the President may succeed
n arresting the perpetration of such an
outrage on a friendly nation, and maintain
ing unsullied the honor of our country.
Plunder can be the only motive of such an
enterprise; and all good men must rejoice
to witness the honest redemption of Gen
eral Taylor's pledges to his country, to
preserve the faith of our treaties and sup
press all illegal enterprise against friendly
foreign nations. The gallant soldier who
lias spent forty years in the camp, and
braved the bullets of his country's enemies
in so many battles—who has sounded all
die shoals and depths of military glory—
proves himself to the world to he, as we
predicted before bis election that he would
he, the ' MAN OF PEACC.'
'VIOLATED ALL HIS PLEOoes !'—Tins
•s the universal cry of the Democracy
against Gen. Taylor. For ' changing the
men,' whom he found in office, he is charg
ed with having violated his pledges. Out
of their own mouths we will convict them.
In the address of the Convention of the
assembled Democracy of Virginia, which
met in Lvnchburg last year, we find tho
following passage:
•A CHANGE OF MEN, or, to trans
late into somewhat plainer language this
griifkant phrase, the placing the public of
h-es at the disposal of the Whig party , is
probably a controlling motive with many of
those who rule that party. *
Ben. Taylor, speaking through the dele
gatiort from his own State to the Whig
baitotial Convention, PLEDGES Atmac//
'> aid in bringing about A CHANGE
BF MEN and of measures. 1
F'>r thus pledging himself, then, he was
availed by the Democracy, and the per,-
i " were appealed to to vote against him,
h ''rnise lie would 'change the men and the
ri " van ' then in office and in force- Ihe
l-'eapie thought the proposed changes de
'"'■ ale ; they therefore elected Gen. Fay- i
tor.

1 Melancholy Accident.
A heart- rending catastrophe occurred
on bast Day, near Orrstown, Franklin co.
V parly ol lom young men, consisting of
•o in Blair, I homas Bard, James Spon*
sler, and Charles A. JSponsler, lelt that
[ lace with their guns, and proceeded to
the country, in pursuit of game. In the
aMernoon, the death of cue of their num
ber took place under the following circum
stances; James Sponsler hid just loaded
his gun, and rested the barrel on his arm
to put on the cap, and while in the act ot
letting back the dog on the cap, it slipped
from h?s thumb, and melancholy to relate,
tho whole load was lodged 111 the head
ol his brother Charles, an active vcuth of
about 18 years, who stood about four or
five feet behind him. The back part of
his head was completely shattered, so that
he fell to the ground a corpse. The agony
of the friends, and of his brother cspeeial
! ly, was i 111 use. Fears were entertained
that he might lose his reason, but it is now
hoped that no such result will lake place.

MR. EDITOR: —It is but seldom that 1 suffer
myself to notice the incongruous productions of
the editor of the nominally True Democrat, for
the reason that in most instances they bear on
their face too palpably the semblance of sophis
try to need refutation; but when an individual,
professing to promulgate truth, solar transcends
the limits of his duty as to distort that principle
in such a manner as to destroy even the sha
dow of its existence, I cannot longer withhold
an expression of my sentiments.
I hold that an editor of a newspaper, whether
political or not, has no legitimate right wilfully
to misrepresent facts, in order to influence the
minds of his readers. The denizens of a repub
lic should exercise the right of sutfrage INTEL
LIGENTLY ; and this end cannot be subserved by
the toleration of cormivirig duplicity in our po
litical organs. Whilst I admit the right of one
man to differ in opinion with another, in regard j
to any theoretical principle, I wholly disclaim
the integrity and patriotism of politicians who ,
knowingly publish articles calculated to mislead
the unsuspecting members of either party.
Such are my opinions—and they are opinions !
which will meet tho approval of every real '
friend of republican institutions. Now, let me '
ask, has the True Democrat in its recent course,
at all accorded with such sentiments? No. Its.
statements relative to the whig county meeting
were such as no one, who attended the meet- j
ing, would pronounce true.
To the editor, who predicates that the reso
lutions reported by the committee were not
adopted, (!) I would simply say, never promul
gate an assertion which common seme would re
pudiate ; and as to his informant, I would sug
gest to him the propriety of procuring a pair ol
leatlur spectacles, when ho again assumes to com- i
pute numbers at aw hig meeting, as in that case !
he may be enabled to report a little m arer to i
facts. IF. j

whether in Hie head or feet, whether it be in lite tun * or

The quantity of impure humors discharged from ihe
body by the anion of the Brandreth's Pills, is replaced in
the course of H few hours with new and pure Mood, by
the digestion of a moderate meal. By purging the body
with this medicine the whole mass of blood becomes en
tirely purified and regenerated.
That the blond is the life of the body, ( presume is uri
di-puted, therefore 1 shall say that it being the fit.a rin
LIFE, it must also be the seat of disease, tf disease be in
Ihe blood, we should abstract the disease only, not lh
blood. It is the impurities which must be removed by
purgation to secure our health, in all states of the weatn* r,
in all situations, and in all climates. The blood, like a
good spirit, is always trying to benefit Ihe body by lis
struggles to expel impurities. But it is not capable to ef
feci us own purification at all times : to do this il niu t
often have assistance. When the blood is loaded with nn
porilies, especially in Hiss Climate, the consequences ma v
be fatal, provided the blood is not purified at once, and

j time, have the first attention.
