DEAR SIR — T T feel it dui st = ns the inventor ofthe
medicine and to the public. , may be greatly benefit.
-cd by it. to state a cure I ha. .. ass performed in my family
by the use of)our - Canninatilre Balsam."
INTlittle son . ..when about taro months old. was seised
i
use as I suppose , by a change
with a footo , lcoliplaint ca
of,diet. It continued for two weeks without intermits
lion.. It continued two week without i:- termtssion. and
notwithstanding the remedies prescribed by a respecta
ble-physician. we gave u,s the hild a victim.as we sup
*el, to a fatal disease. but providentially heard of
" J.iyne's Carminative." as ari effectual cure for Bowe
complaint. and immediately flea iatched a messenger s
a town seventeen miles off for a bottle. By the use I
tons medicine, in less than thirty-ids hours the dins
was checked,: and by its continued nee for a few day
the child was - restored to perfeit health. Shortly afte
this, there occurred 'a similar case in one of the Tamilie ,
of mr congregation. 1 prescribed,'. Jayne; Cartn.na. ,
tive. and the result was's speed y , care.' From aknowl- -
esteoefthe , effkierefyour medicine in bowel complaint
i
ad iseakiel to which children ar constantly liable. I have
obtained and keep constantly i i
the:house. a quantity of
the "...!arminative. " III
The same child, owing tis snosure, when recently
•eoming. up the Ohio was attacked by that horrible mats.
tIy;OROUP. We landed in the night at Heaver Point,
and when our fears were'alartried lest the tome sepal
`lral cough. was the forerunner of death, we-gave him
tea•spoon full of the •• tepee,/runt:7 ( a bottle sirwhich
r / 4
i presented me with Wlittrin libiladelphis) and applied.
ate lineament to the throat a t d breast. and before me
minutes the hoarlienetil was one. , the child breathed
ely and slept sweetly. Owi gto these circumstances
merit be wondered at whyl.have,so high an opinion
i Jayne's medicine, and wiy I advise every family

any ether feelings than those of utter coo.
tempt for the President 'I What 1 a Secre•

MR. VAN BUREN'S ARMY PROJECT.
Tie writer of this article was one of the
very first to denounce in emphatic terms,
thNexh the columns of the Empire Stine,
this prri.ot of the Administration. %Ve
looked upon it as unconstitutional, and one
-of the most extraordinary movements ever
made by an a Intinistration claiming any
affinity to Democracy. And the more we
reflect upon it, the more oNeeionabki it ap
pears. Just lodic at the ineesure stripped
of the ornaments of 'rheloric given to it by
Mr. Poinsett ! The proposition wa—

should he drafted fir actual service.
4. That another 100,000 men should be
constantly kept armed and organivd.
5. That ihri body of 100,000 should be
ko l a up by co •starit dada from the whole
body of the d tz ria enrolled.
6. That the Union sleiu'd be divided ar
into ten great military districts, Bonaparte
fashion.
7. That,the President may call nut. when.
ever he .chooses. and where he choo,eo, in
th.l. districts, the whole of this body of 100,

THE SUB-TREASURE PASSE& •
The Government have et length - overcome- ffie
peoplq the filub.Treasuty bill has paned. Six tittiel,
directly and indirectly,tave the people beaten down
the project; the seventh time, a majority in lion
greas was found base enough to place the Purse am]
the Sword in the bonds of the Executive, giving to
him a power not possessed by any of the Sovereigns
of Europe—a power hostile. in every respect, to the
genius and institutions of the country. We feel,
as every freeman ought •to feel, gloomy and de
' spenditig at this, mate of things, forcibly reminding
us of the last bears of the Roman. Republic. Sortie,
who have not given the subject a proper considera
tion:seem to think that, inasmuch as there is no
money_ in the Treasury beyond the wants of Uo.
vernnient, no injury can arise from the passage 'of
this law. Even the amount required fur the public
expenses, passing daily' through the bands of Sub.
Treasuters, the officers of the'President and nut of
the people, will crests great embarrassments. Hold
ing the notes of all the Hanks, they may demand
specie fa, them—or at least their position neceAsii
city makes the Banks subservient to the Bub-Trea
surers, as the means of protection; consequently,
the indirect control over all the Banks arises froin
the passage of this law. Here is en immense influ
ence taken from the people and given to the Exe
cutive. Besides, a portion of the revenue is to be
col'ected this year in specie, to be increased the
next. and the next, gradually. wit the whole rave.
nue is collected in specie, and their labour goes
down, enterprise goes down, credit goes down, and
the Banks all go down. No power can prevent
this result unless the people change their rulers,
and repeal the law. Another frightful consequence
arises from the passage of this Sub• Treasury: you
cannot persuade the radical portion of the Presi•
dent's party, that this money is no; their own.
They.already think it sir; they aro rejoicing, firing
cannon, and sending up rockets, under the convic
tion that they are to have the use of it: the Exe
cutive has got it, and thriibgh him they expect to
get it. It has • been driven through Congress prior
to the Presidential election, and they o ill consider
the public money at their disposal to electioneer
with and purchase votes openly, without even the ,
cover or appearance of doubt or hesitairev.
How much our country wants a man like Oliver
Cromwell, why had the power and the will to dis-
solve a corrupt Parliament. What next they may
give the President may be easily imagined—any
thing he may have the courage to ask; if there is
time enuugh, they may pass the standing army bill,
and thus consummire the treason ibis union of the
purse and the. sword. There is yet w balm in Gil
ead." If the people are true to themselves and to
their institutions, they will change their rulers*if
they fail in this the gcoernment will be changed; it
passes in effect to a monsreby--money is power,
and with money in the bands of unscrupulous men,
any change can be effected. Thereis no disguis
ing the result. At this time, gloomy, ruined and
bankrupted, all the prosperity and enterprise of the
country gone—at this time, the people almost in
despair. Congress passes - the Sub-Treasury, and by
that act puts chains upon the people. It is folly to
think that it can woik well—it is a measure that
can work nothing but ill—it fetters nub any and en
terprize, and makes every thing subservient to the
government—it is literally , what has been frequently
said of it. a serardian tetween the Government
and Cie People.—Nsah.
az? We copy the following art ale from the Bal
timore Pilot, edited 17 Duff Green:
MR. VAN BIIREN AND THE CATHOLICS.
The brightest page On the history of our State,
is that which records that she was the first to declare
"religious tuleration."
We are nut Catholics, but our pride in claiming
for Maryland that she was the first of the American
States to declare that all men are free to worship
God according to their own consciences, is not
diminished, !hers we admit that to the Roman Cu.
tholics belongs that honor. It was. therefore. with
surprise, that 'we read in the 'Catholic Herald of
January 9th, 1834, the following extract from the
Catholic Miscellany, edited by the Rt. Res. Bishop
England. It was written on the occasion of the
appointment of Judge Gaston, of North Carolina,
and had no other reference to the illustration of a
fact, as bearing on the history of the persecution of
the Catholics—of that people who oere the first to
set the example of religions toleration. Although
the eminent divine who' penned the paragraph, had
no political purpose in v ev, we do not hesitate to
call the attention of our Catholic readers to the Act.
and ask them to remember it when they give their
vote for President. The extract speaks for itself.
Eziract from the Catholic Miscellany
*originally, the majmity of the States adopted
constitutional clauses excluding Cauaolics hem
places of trust or profit, but their good sense led to
the repeal. It is no.v a long time since Mr. Van
Buren, at the commencement of his political Career,
sought - to exclude Francis Cooper, the first Catholic
selected by the citizens of New York to their legis
lature, from his seat. becinise Mr. Cooper refused to
take oaths incompatible with his conactentiess con
viction ; fur New York then had a Test (lath as a
qualification for office, but the legislature of that
state, in the cause of Cooper, left the present Vice
President in a very slender minority. and the offices
of thrildete as well as the seats in her assembly have
since thenAeen open to Cathodes. We rejoice to
see that N. Carolina has been disenthralled by her.
legislature. Netersey stands
_alone. Yet per.
haps upon examinationher provision will also be
found a mere ben/em fislur. Perhaps Catholics
are eligible to office in New Jersey , notwithstanding
the disposition of the compilers of the constitution
to exclude them."
