(ADDRESS
OF GOVERNOR BILLER,
TO THE PEOPLE OF PENN'A.
WAVERLY, NEW YORL,
September 2'2, 1854.
Fellow Citizens :—lt is now nearly
three years since you entrusted me with
the discharge or the duties of the office of
Governor. I have endeavored to the ex
tent of' my feeble abilities, to perform the
trust in such a manner as to develope the
resources,of the State, promote a just pub
lic policy, and advance the welfare of the
people. How far I have succeeded in this
work is for you to determine.
A Democratic State Convention, in
March last, presented me for your. suffra
ges for a second term. In accordance with
what appeared to be a recognized custom,
I left the seat of government, near the
close of last month, for the purpose of
meeting the people in the several counties
of the State, and in person accounting to
them for my stewardship, and declaring to
them my views and intentions on all pub
lic questions of State policy. A painful'
and dangerous illness has deprived me of
this pleasure. For near three weeks I have
been confined to the room in which I write,
during all of 'which time, as I learn, the
canvass has been actively pursued by my
opponent. It is now impossible for me to
visit more than a few if any of the counties
prior to the election, and" can see no mode
of reaching you with my views except
through the medium of the press.
In my present enfeebled state of health,
and iu this locality, without access to the
books and documents which 1 ordinarily
refer to, 1 shall limit what I shall herein
discuss to those questions which legitimate
ly bear upon odr State policy, or which are
in some degree involved in the present
canvass, and in reference to which 1 may,
in the event of my re-election, be called
upon to net ill my official capacity.
1V hat I have dune, and what 1 would wish
to do it' re-elected, it is your right to know.
I must, in the first place, congratulate
you on the flourishing, condition of all the
great interests of the State, excepting only
~the agricultural, which has suffered mater
ially by the drought of the season.
The finances of the State were neVer in
a more wholesome condition. Our resour
ces are equal to all ordinary demands, with
an annual surplus of about three quarters .
of a million of dollars, which is applicable
to the payment of the public debt: For the
three past years, this surplus has been ab
sorbed in the consummation of schemes of
improvement commenced prior to my in
duction into office. These undertakings
will cost the State, in all, over four mil
lions and alialf of dollars. But for these a
very large retitle tion in the State debt would
have taken, place during the term of my
service. No new schemes of expenditure
have been commenced under my adininis
tration, save. only a small appropriation to
enclose the public grounds and a meagre
sum to sustain an idiotic school. If I should
be re-elected Governor I shall employ the
power of the Executive department to ar
rest all new schemes of improvement at the
expense of the treasury.
I have always regarded the proposition
to sell the public works as a business ques
tion. The policy of the measure depend
ing largely upon the price to be obtained
and the conditions on which possession of
the works may be granted. If a sale be
made for an aggregate sum, less than the
amount on which the net profits would pay
the interest, then it would not be economy
to sell; such a measure would increase and
not lessen the burdens of the people.—
Should the policy of selling meet the ap
probation of the representatives of the peo
ple hereafter, the utmost care should be
taken to secure a fill compensation and to
make the conditions such as most certainly
to guard the rights and interest of the pub
lic in the use of these great highways.
am sure all will agree that no corporation
should have the improvements on such
terms as would enable it to impose unjust
burdens on the internal trade of the State,
or encroach upon the rights of the people.
No such measure can ever receive my
sanction.
I have spoken of this branch of public
affairs with delicacy, because its manage
ment and control have been confided to
agents selected by the people themselves;
and accountable only to them. The Ex
ecutive has no power to direct in what
manner the public works shall be managed.
As indicated in my last annual message,
you are aware that I regard the State's
system,' of managing the public works, as
susceptible of great improvement. I then
expressed the opinion, which I still sustain,
that the management should be based on
plain buSiness principles.
The currency of the State seems to be
in a wholesome condition. When I as
sumed the executive office, a strong senti
ment in favor of what is called the free
banking system, instigated mainly by the
influence of the preceding administration,
evidently pervaded the minds of many good
citizens. I felt required to interpose the
influence of my position against this scheme.
Subsequent events must certainly satisfy
all that such a step would have been dis
astrous to the true interests of the State,
'and especially to our own cherished dm
menial metropolis. I also felt required,
during. the sessson of 1852, to interpose
the Executive prerogative against dan
gerous expansion of our present banking
system. I think there are few who will
now doubt the correctness of this step.—
Had chose schemes for the expansion of
paper money prevailed, the consequences
would have been more disastrous than the
most sagacious could have foreseen. Our
commercial metropolis, instead of standing
as she has stood, impregnable against the
financial storm which has been felt so seri
ously in other cities and Statesonight her
self have fallen a victim to the folly. In
stead of boasting a proud fidelity and punc
tuality as she now can, she might have
been humbled and dishonored. Sensible
of the defects of the system we have •I still
regard it as safer and better than those of
most of the surrounding States. Whilst
there may be localities where a growing
and enlarged business would seem to de
mand the convenience of banking capital,
no consideration can induce me to sanction
any considerable extension of such' apital
in the State. lam a firm believer in the
policy of dispensing with the use of paper
money so far as that can be done without
giving too sudden a shock to the business
relations of the people. Such policy, lam
confident, is best calculated to promote
the success of the manufacturer, the miner,
the agriculturalist, and above all to secure
to the laborer a just-reward for his toil.
A,IoNe and unguarded Fysta i n of grant
\
ing corporate privileges obtained favor un
der the administration of my predecessor.
Corporations were, created to engage in
mere ordinary business enterprises, clothed
with extraordinary powers, and upon the
principle of a limited liability of the cor
porators; thus giving the capitalist undue
badvantages. I deemed this system unwise
and unjust. I could see no reason why
those who sought to enjoy all the profits
of an ordinary enterprise, clothed with the
convenience of a corporate seal, in compe
tition with individuals, shguld not bear the
entire responsibilities and pay their debts
to the last farthing as individuals are re
quired to do. The use of the veto power
soon succeeded in arresting this System,
and the principle of individual liability in
corporations of this kind is now the settled
policy of the State - , and shall be maintain
ed so long as I have the power to do so.
A number of general laws have been
adopted to supercede the necessity for spe
cial legislation, and Much good has been
accomplished, but there is still, on this
point a great work to perform.
' The offensive system of omnibus legis
lation, by which good and bad measures
are piled together underlthe same common
title, and which has cost the Common
wealth so many millions of prodigal ex
penditure iu times past, was during the
last session, for the first time completely
broken down: and the laws of 1854 have
been presented to the people, •each sepa
rate, resting on its own merits. If Ibe re
elected, the whole power of the Executive
department shall be wielded to maintain
this wholesome system.
The policy of municipal subscriptions to
public works, sanctioned by my,. predeces
sors, never did, as you will remember,
meet the entire approval of my judgthent.
1 felt required at an early day, to adnion
ish'the people and their representatives
against this insidious mode of creating debt
but as these measures were generally pre
sented in the shape of a local question, af
fecting the interests of particular localities
I did not feel required to interpose my
judgment against that of the people imme
diately interested, and their representa
tives. Time and experience have convinced
me that this was an ,unwise delicacy. If
re-elected Governor, 1 shall unhesitatingly
employ the veto power against all and
every such schemes.
I had not supposed, prior to the com
mencement of this canvass, that it would
be accessary for me to declare to any citi
zen my views in reference to our counnon
school system. I had cherished the belief
that my career as a citizen, as a Senator,
and as Governor had given ample evidence
°fru strong attachment to this most sa
cred of our institutions. As in boyhood I
was the recipient of the blessings of that
system, I t o in manhood sha)J I maintain it
to the fullest extent. 1 have resisted by
the veto power, as the public records show,
all attempts at innovation upon the system
Those engrafted on it.by our political op
ponents, when in power—the endowment
feature and the sectarian feature—have
been stricken from the system. Nor could
1 ever sanction a divisimil of the school
fund for any purpose. Whatever means
be raised for educational purposes by the
government,should be expended under the
school organization. It would seem quite
unnecessary and impolitic to collect money
from the people, in a public way, to be ex
pended under private direction. There is
ample room t; or the use of private means
for the promotion of education, without in
terfering with the general system. It shall
be my pride and pleasure at all times to
endeavor to perfect, extend and strength
en our common school system. Indeed, I
anticipate with pleasure the day when the
the coffers of the State will be able to bear
the expense of a far more enlarged and lib
eral system of education; one which shall
teach the higher branches of science and
literature, as well as the rudiments of a
common education. No higher or nobler
duty could occupy the energies of a gov
ernment. Education in all its phases is
the great helpmeet of civilization and
Christianity. _lt is the most potent means
of pri2venting crime; the greatest leverage
in elevating society. It is the means of
the largest degree of individual happiness
and the highest grade of national dignity.
Transceudantly important in all countries
and among every people; but no where
more peculiarly so than in America. Here
public will directs the policy of the govern
ment; here, indeed, the very foundation of
the government rests on the sovereign thoughts
the masses. How important then it be
comes that that will should emanate from
a highly cultivated judgment. This is the
very palladium of our liberties. It is the
sheet-anchor of our republican institutions.
I believe that so long as the people are
made intelligent by education and eleva
ted in•the scale of morality by its influen
ces, so long will our civil and religious lib
erties be safe agaihst internal strife or ex
ternal aggression. It is' the preparation
for the exercise of the elective franchise,
through which we are a self-governing peo
ple—by means of which the voice of the
humblest citizen is equal to that of the
mostprominent and wealthy—through which
all enjoy equal dignity and power as citi
zens. What statesman can be indifferent
to such a system as this? Whoever could
be, deserves not the name of an American
I could not greet him as a true Pennsylva
nian.
On the great moral question ofprohibi
ting the making and selling of intoxicating
liquors, except for particular purposes, I
have but little to say in addition to the
contents of my letter to the Temperance
Convention of June last. In that commu
nication I expressed the opinion that the
legislature was possessed of constitutional
power to control and regulate the subject ;
but at the same time remarked that in the
exercise of that power, a law might be pas
sed which in its details would be obviously
unconstitutional and unjust. I said then,
as I repeat new, that I sincerely deprecate
the vice of - intemperance, and am prepared
to sanction any proper measure to mitigate
and as far as possible to extirpate the vice;
but I cannot be regarded as pledged to
sanction a proposed law, the details of
which'l have not seen. The obligations of
my oath under the Constitution forbids
this. The Executive department of the
government is a co-ordinate and concur
rent branch of the law making power.—
Vested as I have been with its functions,
for the time being, I should do you injus
tice and dishonor myself, as an officer,were
I to surrender those functions to any other
branch of the government, or associated
power;• for any reason whatever. They
must be retained in the Executive where
the Constitution has placed them, and free

ly, intelligently and independently exer
cised on each proposition of law or policy
as they may arise.
The expediency and policy.of a prohibi
tory lai,has been by an act of the last Leg
islature submitted to the judgment of the
whole people - . Their sentiments for and
against the" measureare to be ascertained
at the ballot box, in October next. Should
they demand such a measure, their will
should be carried into effect in a just, effi
cient and constitutional form.
Complaint• has been made in certain
quarters that I have not sanctioned a new
license law, which passed the Legislature
on the night of the final adjournment. I
have not sanctioned it,nor do I intend to do
so. It haS been filed away in the office of
the Secretaiy of the Commonwealth, to he
returned to the next general Assembly
with my objections.
This measure is a fair specimen of hasty
and inconsiderate legislation; and is so con
fused and obscure in its purpose, that its
administration, when taken in connection
with the other Iffiense laws of the State,
would baffle.. the most astute legal mind.—
After a deliberate examination of its pro
visions, I came to the conclusion that it
might do much harm and could do no good
My reasons against it and which are too
long to be inserted here, I am confident,
will prove satisfactory to you. Certain I
am that uo real friend of temperance re
form, with a full comprehension of the
manifest tendencies of this measure, will
be willing to make himself the advocate of
such a license system.
Certain strange political dogmas have
recently been presented for public consid
eration, and which would seem to demand
inure than a passing notice. I mean the
doctrine of the recently elected Mayor of
the city of Philadelphia, that a citizen born
out of the country should not „lie trusted
with civic office; and the still more extra
ordinary tenets of political faith held by a
certain secret organization, which, it is said
materially aided in elevating this function
ary to power.
lam opposed to all secret societies to
accomplish political ends. I believe, iu
the language of GEORGE WASHINGTON,
that all such associations "are likely in the
course of time and things to become potent
engines by which cunning, ambitious and
unprincipled men will be enabled to sub
vert the power of the people, and to usurp
for themselves the ;eins of gove r nment,
destroying afterwards the ve)y engines
Which lifted them to unjust dominion."
I believe in the wisdom and justice of
the language of the Constitution of the U.
States, that declares "no religious test shall
eve r be required as a qualification to any
office, or public trust under the United
States ; and in the declaration of the bill
of rights of our own Commonwealth, that
"all men. have a natural and indefeasible
r ight to woi'ship Jilmighty God according
to the dictates of their own consciences."
That "no human authority can, in any
case whatever, control or intolere with the
r ights of conscience, and no preference
shall ever be given by law to any religious
establishment or mode of worship ;" and
in the further declaration that, "no person
who acknowledges the being of a God, and
a future state of reward and punishment,
shall on account of his religious senti,
meats, be disquatified to hold any office o r
place of trust or profit under this Com.
monwealth."
I believe these instruments of fundamen
tal law, as they areiliould be maintained
and justly administered by all men in civil
authority. Indeed, it is difficult to imag
ine how any one sworn to administer these
paramount laws, could feel warranted in
stepping over the bounds of their distinct
terms, and establishing rules of action in
direct violation of the guarantees and im
munities which they secure to every citizen.
Citizens, according to the terms of the
Constitution, are all alike—they are enti
tled to equal protection—to equal rights—
to equal immunities, and no man who pre
tends to a just administration of the laws
should attempt the high handed usurpation
of constituting citizens to suit his own
caprice, and'to lay down as a rule of ac
tion, that the accident of birth should de
prive an American citizen of the enjoyment
of the full immunities, and privileges guar
anteed him by the Constitution. A more
unjustifiable idea never entered the mind
of any vikmerican,statesman. I would not
say this because I believe any class of peo
ple, wherever born, or whatever their reli
gion, have any right, as a class, or religious
denomination, to demand office, or honor,
or distinction in the civil government. The
Democracy of this country never Italie, and
never will recognize any such demand.
But taking the Constitution as a guide
and. a rule of action, they will maintain the
just rights of all citizens, leaving each to
depend upon his own. merits and qualifica
tions for office, emoluments and honor. This
I hold to be•the true doctrine on this ques
tion.
If the conditions upon which the people
of other countries can become citizens of
the United States, and enjoy the benefits
of our free institutions be wrong, that is
our fault. It was not the German, the
Welchman, the Englishman, the Irishman,
or the Polander, who made these conditions.
They are the work of American statesmen.
They stand sanctioned by George Wash
ington, Thomas Jefferson, and other illus
triois fathers of out Republic. We held
out the alluring invitation to the people
of other countries to come here, accept
our conditions and become American citi
zens. Indeed we boasted of our land of
civil and religious liberty— . , : of our asylum
for the oppressed, where every man could
enjoy the high dignity of self-government,
and the inestimable privilege of worshipping
God agreeably to the dictates of conscience.
Thus invited, many came of all countries,
and of all sects of professing christians.
Some have been with us since the days of
the Revolution; some for half a centary;
some for half that time, and others for a
shorter period. They have contributed by
their industry and skill to the develope
ment of the resources of our common coun
try, and have assisted in its defence; others
have felled the forest and cultivated the
soil, and ' have added to the general pros
perity of the country; others have advanced
the commercial, manufacturing, mining,
and mechanical interests of the nation, and
others have adorned the pulpit and the bar.
They have assisted to pay the taxes, and
to fight our battles; and shall the sacred
covenant which was thus made with these
people be violated by the power of a secret
and insidious combination that overrides the
Constitution?- Shall the faith of our fathers,
as plighted in this great instrument, be
thus disregarded? Right minded men of all
pafties must respond no! No such immor
ality and political wrong should be peimit
ted to tarnish the fame of America: F m
the long past days of the "revolution thl
re
is a reminiscence that speaks in elociti nt
tones against this proposed error. ' Frpm
the shades of Mount Vernon—from the
grave of La Fayette—from the heigits
where Montgomery fell—from the :once
bloody fields where Pulaski and De liitlb
gave up their lives, there comes up a soletnn
remonstrance against this proposed wrofig.
I would not say this, nor the weakest !sOn
timent of it, for the mere matter of office
to this class of citizens. The value of office
to them is of small importance; but it is the
deep dishonor that sueh a violent meal re
would inflict upon our country, that induees
me thus to speak. It would not be the
loss of civil place that would most afflict
our adopted citizens; but it would be the
humiliation of being designated as a class,
of whom it should be said, they are notl to
I
be trusted with civil place. This is he
idea that would most wound their pr de
and excite their indignation. There are
amongst them those who in the wantof a
full appreciation of our institutions;and
customs, so deport themselves as to 'gfve
reason for complaint. But these facts af
ford no sufficent ground for violating he
institutions of the country: It is sin4ly
cowardly to acknowledge danger frOn
such a source, and the avowal of it `fm
a
poor compliment to the strength of .ur
government.
I repeat, that I am opposed to all oa
bound societies or associations to acechn
phsh political ends, and to all obligations
which embarrass the free exercise of
elective franchise, or that may be mile
ted to prejudice the sanctity of thej
box. I deprecate as• most mischiev.
those political tenets which, in their illi
ral and intolerant spirit, would go bah
the swaddling clothes of the infant,
pry into the consciences of mon to fix
test for oivil office.
Has it ever oecured to those who 111 ye
thoughtlessly espoused this now doetri.e,
that the practical application of it must be
met at the very threshold by insurmou t
able difficulties. Is this attempt to eicite
one class of professing Christians against
another a mere expedient of wily 01 ti
cians to accomplish their own selfish ens,
or is it intended as a great radical chil ge
in the institutions of our country? If the
latter be the real idea, it will be perceii . ed
that the first step must be a unity of Church
and State. How else can these new 14g
mas be reduced to practice? Their adto
cotes must get possession of the civil 'gpv
ernment—must change the fundamer#al
laws of the land, and then bring the pew-.
er of the government to bear on matters
of religious belief and church organizati
and when one denomination of profess
Christians shall have been punished i
purity, according to the notions of thian
power, then another, the most need
correction, would be taken up, and
until all religious denominations would
made to accord to a fixed standard by:
force of law. In my opinion by the ti
this Sanhediam should have passed all•
nominations in review, the Christian sp
of the nation would be prostrated and
infidel spirit be predominating. .
Wh will have the boldness to undert
a work of this magnitude ? No one, Ls'
ture to say, of all the men, who in an
hour embraced this heresy, can be to
who will assume so great responsibility
Such an attempt, could it be made, would

advocates they could not be justified f'l

widespread as the human race. The oh
tians in heathen lands point to Ameii
institutions as an argument in favor of
eral views. The advocate of the civil ri
of man under tyrannical and opprep ye
forms of government, also draws his ar!u
'Dents from our example. The Ameri an
examples has been the beacon light which
has guided the political warrior where'ver
struggling against the waves of oppressihn.
To the Christian in heathen lands, and ,the
the Protestants in Catholic countries, it as
furnished the largest share of their ar -
ments and their hopes.
But to suppose—which is simply an b
surd idea—that there be reason to aprire
hend encroachments upon our civil inst#u
tions by any class or sect of citizens, where
would all good citizens rally for proteciion
against such an evil l They, would be
found to cluster around the Constitution •
they would gather about it like the faithful
at Mecca; and hold it up as an impasimble
barrier to such encroachment. Thcre I
should be, in such event, to maintain: this
instrument for the benefit of all claSses
and all denominations of Christians.; But
how idle it is in those who pretend that
there may be danger to' the civil institu
tions of the country, to announce,! is a
remedy, the destruction of the grea:,est
safeguard which our institutions afford.—
So long as the people have confidence in
the paramount law of the land and reTer
ence its principles, so long it will afibrh
ample protection to all; but if that iestru
i
ment be overridden by the power of c' m
bination-4f it be thus demoralized 'lndweakened,
weakened, and the confidence of the' eo
plealienated from it, and encroaohin nts
should then be attempted, there migh be
cause for alarm, for those resisting suCli in
vasions would be in the attitude of an is .sy
with the fortress torn down and the ird-

nance dismantled. But enough of this.—
I trust that I have succeeded in making
my views known to you .upon this grave
subject.
1 have said none of these things from
prejudice, for I am myself a Pennsylvanian
by birth, and a Protestant by religious be
lief, as were my parents before me; but I
have simply declared principles which I
believe are consisten with the best inter
ests, the dearest rights, and highest hopes
of the people of my native State. Nor. do
I intend 'to speak unkindly of individual
citizens, who for any reason may have con
nected emselves with the associations to
which I haVe been referring. I can readi
ly perceive how, clothed with novelty and
secrecy, the approaches of such an institu
tion would be insiduous and seductive; and
how a. citizen of the best intentions might
be drawn within its meshes. But all such
have a plain duty to perform, and that is,
to withdraw from the order—to renew their
allegiance to the Constitution, and to as
sert the dignity of free and independent
voters, and vote for whomsoever they please
for political office.
I have now, fellow-citizens, said all that
the limAs of a communication of this kind
will permit, and trust I have made myself
understood on all subjects relating to my
official duties. The issue must be with you.
I am confident that in passing upon my
acts, you will not test them by a standard
of perfection, for that is what humanity
cannot attain. It conclusion, let me as
sure, you, that whatever your decision may
be, it shall not weaken my attachment to
to the principles I have declared, nor les
ten my zeal for the welfare of my native
State, , nor my admiration for you as a people.
Very respectfully, your fellow-citizen.

Valuable List of Text Books for General
V Instruction in the United States, and especially adapt.
to the schools of Lancaster county. Published by A. S.
Barnes & Co.. 51 John street, New York, pod sold by :Urn-
RAT & STOElC ' ' Lancaster. Theattention of teachers and the
friends of Education generally, is invited to the following
edu.tional works.
New and improved editions of several of these works
have recently been published, and the publishers will con
ue to the most approved edition of their several Text-
Books, and thus provide a series of Standare.d Books for
our Union School Districts and townships, that can be re
garded as s modern, uniform and permanent series, and
render entirely unnecessary :these frequent changes in
school books that have heretofore been so perplexing, ex
pensive and annoying to both;teacher and parent,
The list embraces some of the most approved Text-Books,
in the various depaatments oflstudy, viz
For Reading Books.—Parker's series are regarded the
most thorough by a multitude of the best teachers. They
are adopted by the schools of Lancaster city.
For English Grammar. —S. W. Clark's System is superse
ding the old Gramniars heretofore published. His system
of diagrams is the ne plus LODI for oral teaching.
For Spelling and Good Pronunciation.—No teacher will
fail to appreciate Price's Spelling Book, Wright's Orthog
raphy, Martin's Orthoepist, and Northond's Dictation Ex
ercises.
For Rhetoric, Oratory and 'Choice Reading.—Professor
Day's Art of Rhetoric is pronounced, by the best judges, as
being greatly in advance of every other work on this sub
ject. •
Northena's Little Speaker, American Speaker and School
Dialogues, awl Zaches' New American Speaker, contain
the choicest selection of pieces (oratorical, poetical and dec
lamatory) ever embraced in four volumes.
Parker and Zachos Introductory Lessons in Reading and
Elocution, will be found a valuable hand-book for every
teacher and normal school student.
Professor Boyd, of Geneva, has laid our Seminaries and
Academics under lasting obligations of the English Poets,
viz: Milton's Paradise Lost, Cowper's Task, 'gable Talk,
Ac., Thomson's Seasons, Young's Night Thougßts. Those
works need only to be known to be appreciated. Pollock's
Course of Times Is in -press.
For History and, Geography.—Mrs Willard's History of
the United States and Universal History, with - her incom
parable Charts, are not equalled In excellence by any other
author.
Montelib's 'youth's Manual of Geography, just publish
ed, has already been adopted in the ward and public
schools of the city of Now York (to take the place of Smith
and Mitchell's Primary Geography.) A more advanced
work on Geography, for higher classes, to follow Monteith's
Manual, prepared by Francis M'Nally, will be published in
January, 1855.
For Arithmetic and Mathematics.—Professor Davies'
System is now regarded the National System, being the
standard Text-Books of the military accademies of the
United States, and most of the colleges throughout the
country. The Arithmetics of Davies are the foundation of
his whole series. . .
For Teaching Natural Philosophy.—R. 131. Parker, an old
and experienced teacher of Boston, has prepared a work
entitled a 'Compendium of School Philosophy;rwhich is a
favorite book with all teachers who have used R. The old
books on Natural Philosophy, that have so long had a
sway in our schools, give way to Mr. Parker. Teachers
need only examine, to be convinced of its great excellence.
The Study of Book• Beeping.—is becoming a very gene
ral study In all our schools, and Fulton and Eastman's,
with their system of writing and chirographic Charts, are
decidedly the most approved.

dedicated to the Teachers of the United States.

-Henry's Invigorating Cordial.
Purely Vegetable in its Composition. This
invaluable Cordial, is extracted from Herhs and
Roots, which have been found after years of expe
rience, by the most skillful ?hysicians, to be pos
sessed of qualities most beneficial in the diseases
'or which it is recommended; and hence whilst it
is presented to the public, as an efficacious reins
dy, 1. is also known to be of that character on
which reliance may placed as to Its safety I case
Impotency, Hoemorrhages, Disordered Sterility,
Menstruation, or Suppression of the Menses, Fluor
Albus or Whites, or for DEBILITY arising from any
cause, such as weakness from sickness, where the
patient has been confied to bed for sonic time,
tor females after confinement, Abortion or Miscar
riage, thin Cordial cannot be excelled in its salu
tary effects; or in loss of Muscular Energy, Irrita
bility, Physical Prostration, Seminal Weakness,
Palpitation of the Heart, Indigestion, Sluggishness,
Decay of the Procreative, Nervousness,kc., where
a tonic Medicine is required, it will be found equal
if not superior to any compound ever used.
To Feet.% LES.—Henry's Invigorating Cordial, is
one of the most invaluable Medicines in the many
complaints to which females are subjeat. It as
sists nature to brace the whole system, check ex
cesses, and creates renewed health and happiness.
Less suffering, disease and unhappiness among La
dies would exist, were they generally to adopt
the use of this Cordial. Ladies who are debilita
ted by those obstructions which females are liable
to, are restored by the use of a bottle or two, to
bloom and io vigor.
Yount; Mels•—That solitary practice, so fatal to
the existence of man; and it is the young who are
most apt to become its victims, from an ignorance
of the danger to which tney subject themselves,
causing N igneous DEBILITY, Weakness of the sys
tem and Premature Decay. Many of you may now
he suffering, misled as to the cause or source of
disease. To those, then, who by excess have brot'
on themselves Premature Impotency, Involuntary
Seminal Emissions, Weakness and Shrivelling of
the Genital Organs, Nervous Affection. or any oth
er consequences of unrestrained indulgence of the
sensual passions, occasioning the necessity of re
nouncing the felicities ofMartitiaGE,lessening both
mental and bodily capacity, Holdt Henry's Invig
orating Cordial, a medicine that is purely Vegeta
ble, will aid nature to restore those important func
tions to a healty state and will prove of service to
you. It possesses rare virtues, is a general remover
of disease, and strengthener 01 the system as a
Teem MEDICINE, it is unsurpassed. We do not
place this-Cordial on a footing with quack medi
cines, and, as is customary, append a long list of
Recommendations, Certificates, 4.c., begtnnig with
'Hear what the Preachers say,' and such like; it is
not necessary; for Henry's Invigorating Cordial,
only needs a trial to prove that it will accomplish
all we say. The genuine " Henry's Invigorating
Cordial," is put up in 8 oz. Pannel Bottles, and is
easily recognized by the Manufacturer's signature
on the label of each Bottle, (to counterfeit which
is forgery.)
