DEAR SIR-1 feel it-due to you as the Inventor of the
medicine and to the public, who may be greatly benefit
ed b} 'it, to stare a cure that was performed in my family
by th e use of your "Carminative Bilsam."
Nlylittle son. when about t wo months old. was seized
with a b ow e l complaint. caused as! suppose, by a change
of drat. It continued fur two weeks without intermis
sion:l It continued two weeks without intermission, and
notwithstanding the remedies prescribed by a respecta
ble physician, we gave up the child a victim,as we sup
posed, to a fatal disease, but I providentially heard of
** JaYhe's Carminative." as an effectual cure for Bowe
complaint. and itni&diately despatched a messenger
a town seventeen miles off for a . bottle. By the use I
this medicine - , in less than thirty-six hours the diseas
was Checked ; and tIY its continued use for a few days
the child was restored to perfect "health. tqlorily after
this, there occurred a similar case in one of the latnilieti
of my congregation. I prescribed "Jaynes Carmina
tive,', and the result was a speedy cure. From a knowl
edg,epf the efficacy of your medicine in bowel complaint
a disease to which children are constantly liable, 1 have
obtained and keep constantly in the house, a quantity of
the "..:arminative. "
The same child, owing to expeture, when recently
coming up the Ohio, was attacked by that horrible mala
dy; CROUP. We landed in the night at Beaver Point,
and-when our fears were alarmed lest the hoarse sepul
chral, cough, was the forerunner of death, we gave him
a tea;Spoon full of the •• Erpeqorani," (a bottle of WY inch
you Presented me with wilt!' in Philadelphia) and applied
some lineament to the throat and breast, and before ma
ny minutes the hoarse/lest was gone. ' the child breathed
frcelY . jand slept sweetly'. Owing to these circumstances
it cannot be wondered at why have so high an opinion
of DilJayne's medicine, and why I advise every family
to keep it on hand ready for any emergency.

Dr..JAYNE—Dear. Sir: I feel that I can hardly
tay enough to you in favor of Alibert's Hair Tonic,
sold by you'. My hair had been falling off about
wo years, and had become very thin, threatening
peedy•baldhess, when I commenced using this rem.
dy. In about oue week it ceased to fall off. I
ave used it now about three months, and have as
ull and thick a head of hair as I can possibly desire.
I - haie recommended its use to a number of my
tiiendv, who all speak well of it. 'lf faithfully
_cm
pined, I have no doubt of .its general success.' I
may add that before using the Tonic, I had tried al.
moi.t all the various articles employed for the hair
such as the Macassar 0i), all the different prepara

Haddonfield, February 12, 1839
Dr:D?Jayne—Sir : I take pleasure in informing
you that the bottle of Ahbert's Hair Tonic which I
obtained of you last October, has proved most satis.
factory and successful. Illy hair had for a lung
time been exceedingly thin. But for two or three
years past it had so fallen out, that my head had be.
come almost entirely bald. I was under the ncces.
say of concealing the baldness by combirig the hair
on the sides of it. But now after using about half
hi a bottle of the Tonic, I have as luxuriant a growth
of hair. as -1 ever had. C. C. PARK.
The. Rev Leonard Fletcher, Pastor of the Baptist
church at Great Valley, Pa., who had been more or
less bald for many years, used three bottles of the
Hair Tonic, and has a fine growth of new haw. ov.

bald, writes—
"Mk hair is growing finely, 1 assure you."

'Westchester, P, March 2, 1839.
Mr.lllond, one of the Compositors in the office of
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, who had lost nearly
all his'. hair from off the top ot his head, has had it
completely restored by the use of this Tonic. Two
Othceis of the American Navy had good heads of
hair restored to them by using fire butler each of
this flair Tonic, one of whom was over sixty years
of age. Four gentlemen connected with the Public
press in Philadelphia, have also had their baldness
removed by using this remedy. The Rev Mr. Park
er, Paitor of the Presbyterian Church in Delaware
county, Pa., who was completely bald over all the
top ot his head, and' was also becoming• considerably
gray, has used only two bottles of this ionic, and
has not only a luxuriant growth of new hair upon
his hehd, but all the gray hairs have disappeared,
and their places have been supplied by healthy hair
of a nrit3ral colour. Finally, nine cases of baldness
out of every ten, nay positively be removed by a
taithfid application of this invaluable remedy.—
There is, therefore, now no excuse for a baidhead.

Gen. Liarrison's Eloquence.
The following Address, was delivered by
Gen. Harrison on the occasion of Gen. La-
Fayette's visit to Cincinnati in 1825. If we
recollect right, Gen. Winfield Scott was
to have addressed Gen. La Fayette, in behalf
of the citizens of Cincinnati, but was prevent.
ed by indisposition. Gem Harrison was then
waited on by, the Committee of Arrange
ments, only fifteen minutes before the arrival
of Gen. La Fayette. He had not time to
prepare for so unexpected an honor, yet,•like
Cincinnatus of old, he promptly obeyed the
call of his fellow-citizens, and delivered the
following address extempore:
GEN. HARR ISO.N'S ADDRESS.
GEN. LA FAxErrE:;--In the name of the
people of Cincinnati, I bid you welcome to
their city.
In other places, General, your reception
has been marked by a display of wealth and
splenddr which we could not imitate, even if
it were not incompatible with the simplicity
of manners and habits, whtcli distinguish the
backwoodsmen of - America. But let me as•
sure you, General, that in no part of the Uni
on, or of the whole earth, is there to be found
a - greater respect for your character, a . warm
er gratitude for your services, of a more af-
fectionate attachment to your person, than in
the bosoms of those who now surround you.
But if we cannot rival some of our sister
states in the splendor of our exhibition, or in
the fascinating graces of a highly polished
society, to a mind like yours, we can present
a more interesting spectacle—the effects of
those institutions, for the establi•hment of
which your whole life has been devoted in
producing in the course of a lew years a de.
gree of prosperity, and a sum of human hap.
piness which you have seen no where Fur
passed in the wide circuit of your tour.
W hen you last embarked'from your adopted
country, General, the hounds of this exten
sive State did not contain a single while in.
habitant. No plough had yet marked a fur.
, row oa its luxurient soil. One unbroken mass
of forest equally sheltered a few miserablo
savages, and the beasts which were their
prey.
In this immense waste no human being "of
fered the song of praise or thanksgiving . • to
the throne of the Creator: lir country and
its inhabitants, presented the same appear
once of wild, savage, uncultivated nature.-r--
But now see the change; " the wilderness and
the solitary places have been made glad, and
the desert to blossom as the rose."
There is no deception, General, in the ap
pearances of prosperity which are before you.
This flourishing city has not been built, like
the proud capitoVon the frozen Neva, by the
command of a despot, directing the labor of
obedient millions. It has been reared by the
hapds'of freemen. It is the natural mart of
a highly cultivated country. Thesecrowded
streets are filled with the in!iabitants of this
city and its vicinity, and are a part of the
seven hundred thousand christian people who
daily offer up their orisons to Heaven for the
innumerable blessings they enjoy. The
youth who , form your guard of one hundred
thousand enrolled freeinen, whose manly bo
soms are the only ramparts of our State—
have all , assembled to present the free•
will offering of err affectkins to the benefac.
for of tl country.
Happy Chief! How different must be your
feelings from those of the most distinguished
commander, who, in the days of Rome, con
ducted to the capitol the miserable captives,
and the glittering spoils of an unrighteous
war. This, your , triutnph, has not - brought
to the millions who have witnessed it, a sin
gle painful emotion.—Your - victories have
not caused a sigh from the bosOrn of a human
being, unless it be from the tyrants whose
power to oppress their fellow men they have
Curtailed.
Happy man! The influence of your exam.
.ple will extend-beyond the tomb. Your fame,
auociated with' that Of Washicigton'.and
will ,c.otorince some Agate Cr.esa

at it in candor, and say if it is nut even so.
How is , the mechanic who is in debt for his
house ,or. shop, or for stock wherewith to
work, purchased when pr ices were utiaffect
ed.by this reducing system, ever to pay his
debt under this new order of things? under
this Van Buren policy?—Since this debt was
incurred, the value of his house, of his shop,
and of his stock, and of his labor has been
reduced ooe- half, or more. Can he afford to
pay debts by working at half or quarter price,
when he must support his family, also, upon
half the amount of proceeds from hij labor
which he. has heretofore had? We ask me
chanics—the sensible, thinking men,ofwhom
our mechanics constitute the most substantial
class, whether it is not a wrong time to corn
metice such a knock-down poverty-striking
policy? Whether this expulsion of the pa
per system, which is only the representative
of a salutary credit system, by which ;honest
industry is enabled to cope with the influence
of wealth, is not fraught with ruin to them
selves, as 'well as to all other classes of citi

Let men who• are - going to the gallows

devotion to party names be induced to hurrah
and sing TE DEEM in support of the state of
things and of a government policy that are
reducing themselves to poverty, and their
families to a condition of deprivation •of all
the comforts and enjoyments of life. LET

(.Y - A short time previons to the return of
Gen. Harrison from his mission to the Re.
public of Columbia, and when the eyes of all
the civilized world were anxiously turned to.
wards the course which would be pursued by
Gen. Bolivar, he addressed a letter to that
celebrated man, setting forth in mosteloqttent
language the advantages of a Republican
lorm of Government, and exhorting him to
use the power and popular confidence which
he possessed, for the high and holy .purposes
of his country's good, ard.not for his own ad
vancement. The concluding part of this let
ter, which we republish below, shows what
are the views of Gen. Harrison as to the
course a Military Chieftain should pursue,
and will offer most silencing arguments to
those who pretend to fear that his former
brilliant achievements as a warrior should he
a bar to his advancement as a statesman. In
purity of thought, high patriotism, and felici
ty of diction, this production is unsurpassed
in our Imiguage
" To yourself, the advantage of making
Columbia a:Republic would be as great' as to
the country; like acts of mercy, the blessings
would be reciprocal; your personal happiness
secured, and your fame t levated to a height
which would leave but
,single competition
in the estimation of posterity. In bestowing
the palm of merit, the world has become wi
sertlian formerly. The successful warrior
is no longer; regarded as entitled to the first
place in the;temple of fame. Talents of this
kind have become too common, and too'often
used for mischievous purposes, to be•regard
ed as they once were. In this enlightened
age, the mere hero of the field, and the suc
cessful leaderof armies, may, for the mo
ment, attract attention. But it will be such
as is bestowed upon the passing meteor,
whose blaze is no longer remembered, when
it is no longer seen. To be esteemed; e•iti
neatly great, it iii necessary to be eminently
good. The qualities of the hero and the gen
eral must be devoted to the advantage of
mankind, before he will be permitted to as
sumo the title of benefactor; and the station
which he will hold in their regard and affec-
tions will depend,' not upon the number and
splendur cif his victories, but upon the results
• and the use he,' may make of the influence he
acquires from them.
If the fame of our Washington depended
upon his military achicvements, would the
common consent of the world allow him the
pre.emieetice he ,possesses? The, victories
at Trenton,. , Mon:nouth, and York, brilliant
as they, were exhibiting, as they certainly
did, the highest grade of military talents, are
scarcely thought of. The source of the von.

as the rupubhcan, is to be found in his unde

terests of his country: .No selfish cofisidera
tron was ever suffrired to intrude itself into his

the unrivalled and increasing prosperity of
that country is constantly adding fresh glory
to his' name. General, the course which he
pursued is open to you, and it depends .upon
}twist:lllo attain the eminence which he has
reached before you."
The following is from the Richmond Enquirer of
1813, upon the receipt of the news•of the battle or
the Thames • •
"JOY-40Y IN LONDON NOW:"
We have not words to express the joy which we
feel for the victory of Harrison. Never have we
seen the public pulse heat so high. The shouts and
cheers of the immense multitude which had fiJeked
to the Coffee room and Post office un Saturday
nit ht, mi reading the official news from Washing
ton, were loud and long beyond description. Yes.
tciday, the scene of joy and congratulation contin
ued. ••At It o'clock, Captain Stephenson's corps of
artillery filed a grand federal salute. 'ln the eve
ning the city wti : i illuminated."
And well may we rejoice. We rejoice not so
much for the splendor of ; the achievement, as for the
solid benefits which it will produce. Yet in point
of splendor, we have reabon to believe that when we
-receive the official account, we receive any di s.
appointment. The shill with which the plan Was
contrived for overreaching the flying enviny,'lhe
small portion of Harrison's fame which was able to
conic, up and cope with him, consisting principally
of mounted Rangers under Jullionn and Ball, and
the short period in which the victory was achieved,
will, we are inclined to suspect impart to it the char.
acter of a most gallant and brilliant achievement.—
But its solid elecia require no oilicial account to ern.
blazon them ;it gives security to the frontier, Ohio
may now sleep in security. The trembling mother
that nightly used to clasp her infant to her breast,
may rock her cradle in peace."
Gen. flAriarsim, we trust, has yet to lead the way
in one victory more us a crowning glory to an hon
ourable life. The conflict is to be one not of arms
but of principles—the triumph which we hope to
ace achieved will be a moral one. The victory of
the Thames gave peace and security to the frontiers
—ta victory next November at the ballot-boxes, un
der the auspices of the brave old General, will give
security to the whole country. The rejoicings
which such a triumph would glee rise to, pervading
the whole Union and issuing trom the hearts of mil
lions now oppressed with feelings of anxiety, would
fit d vent 'in language no less exulting than that
which gave utterance to the joy of the Enquirer at
the glorious victory of the gallant American com
mander on the occasion indicated above.

READ BOTH SIDES
General Green—l was sitting at my window some
evenings ago, when two mechanics met each other,
anii began to talk just below me. Being pleased
with the good sense of their conversation, I took up
my pen, and, as well as I can recollect, wrote it
down. Here it is.
"Good morning John, have you found any work
yet ? I have not,"
"No" said John, "uot one stroke; nobody's doing
any thing."
'• What are things coming to, if they keep on at
this rate," said his companion.
"I don't know, indeed," said John; " 1 cant live
on one day's woik in a week, and support my family.
Bill, I hate to go home and bee my poor children ;
for God only knows how long it will be before they
are crying to me for bread; it's all owing to the cur.
reney. and our rulers should better it; they have the
power."
• • They are going to, John?
' Yes,' replied he, ` and their attemptsnre like the
man who undertook to make his horse live on one
straw a day, his experim nt went on bravely, %lib
this exception, -that before he :educed him to the
one straw diet, he was dead.'
' Why, John, you talk like a whig,'
' So I am.'
' You a Whig '
' Yes, you need't stare—the story is Shore; I had
nothing to do, nu got the papers, and v,Eilla BOTH
BIDES, and now .L mean to go it strung fur old Tip
pecanoe.'
• Well
' Yes, it's very well indeed.'
• But, John, the boyo will laugh at you and call
you 'llurn-coal.'
• Let them, and those . of them I can't thrash I'll
try to! I know my business - best, and I know who
is my friend; Old Tip is and Martin Van Buren is
not. Tip to a brave old Soldier, and AN LIONesT nes;
and what is still better—a working man like myself.
As regards the coat, I'll tell you how it 1 got up
in thl morning half asleep, and put it on wrong side
out, and that was the Van Buren vide, all threads
seams and linings; when I awoke well, I like a sen
sible fellow, took it oft; brushed it, End then put it
on rig/d. Now the Tip side is out; and I, consider
that man a fool who takes an exception at the
change; but him a greater foul who is ashamed to
turn his coat right; but would, because he put on
wrong in the morning, wear it so all day." •
"But, John, what's your reasons?"
"For these: Van Buren's experiments have
'played the d-1 with the currency, anti I em con
sequently out of work ; he has, thereforr, virtually
taken my wages from ore, and 4 mean to charge
him in my book for every day . I ant out of work, and

they found the best of currencies, and . 1 found work

it? . Why, here is one of the ghosts of the humbug,
and he took out a shin plaster levy.
'But, John, 'Ryas the whips and the banks.'
• Pishaw, nonsense: nobody, in his senses believes
that. What have the whip to Jo with our financial
affairs? 'I hey are nut at the head of Government.
They were in the minority, (but don't intend to be

Chapter for smung U'usbands
Walking the other day• with a valued friend who
had been confined a week or two by 'sickness to his
room, he remarked that a husband might !earn e .

house, by having in this way an opportunity of Wit
nessing the cares and the never-ending toils of the
wife, whose btu-diens and duties, and, patient endtt. _
ranee he might never h.lve otherwise understood.
There is a - great deal in . this thought, perhaps e
nough fur au ..editorial." Men, especially young '
men, are called by their business aunng the day
mostly away from home, returning only at the hours
for meals, and, as they then see nearly, the same rou

Now we believe that wives as a whole are really bet
