In England, when a knave desires to trade on

as much money as possible fbom the pockets of

quack medicine is twenty-seven cents—which
includes the stamp.

by it. Whenever the maker of a quabk medi

medicine inserted as part of 'the printed stamp
itself—the royal crown ofEngland, which forms'.
part of the legend thus appearing to give par-;
tinier sanction to the medicine this stamps`
to legalize.
The result• is, the public are deceived, and'
generally believe that the stamp Is a Govern.:
went certificate of the value and efficacy of they
"medicine." They would accuse you of ro
mancing if you said that the Government,
which legalizes tile sale of the compound, hail
never taken the slightest pains to ascertain,
before licenstift it, that it is innocuous. The
quacks' advertisements are thrown broadcast 4
through hundreds of newspapers, promising
cure of all varieties of disease, and stating the,
nature, causes, and effects of many diseases:
with such disgustingparticularity of detail that,
no modest woman dare read those polluting
records, while they literally are morarpoisok
for the young of both sexes. Numerous re•
spectable journals heedlessly publish them—a
low, among whom TIM Pnsss takes its pinec t ,
detalitta inserting. them. Meanwhile, 14 8116%
chard Jerrold strongly and truly says of the
quack :
Ho leaves ne disease uncured—in his
pamphlets ; and then he sits in studied, vulgar
state, chinking the guineas of his dupes. You
may tell him he is a scoundrel, when he has
cheated you of health and emptied your
pockets, but he will reply with the Government
stamp. Not only is ho within the law, and the
rightful posseasorpt a gilded chariot—he Is the
liberal tax-payer. Fle acts upon the fear and
the shame of men and women, it is true, but
he acts under the patronising eye of the law.
The royal arms protect his poison, and give
dignity to his shameless falsehoods. Ile spends
a princely income in advertisements, and is re
warded with sheets of postage stamps from far
off patients. Yet if there be a skeleton in even
the best regulated, the .purest house, that of
the quack must be built upon deep catacombs.
He drinks his generous wine from the freshest
skull within his reach; he stirs his ample fire
with a patient's thigh-bone. Yet people will
fly to his net—will insist upon being gulled."
In this country, the progress of the quack_
medicine vender is much the same—except
that he has no stamp-duty to pay, uo tax upon
his profits, no appearance of being authorized
or recommended by the Government. Now
and then, a medicine thus thrown before the
public, may be good—but the instances aro by
no means numerous, and it may be safely af
firmed that, even in these cases, more efficient
relief would be supplied by the prescription
of a regularly-educated physician.
The Lancet, the best medical weekly peri-
odleal published in England, fearlessly con
ducted by Mr. Wane; (long a member of
Parliament, and Coroner of the Metropolitan
county,) has drawn the attention of the pub
tie to the fact that there has recently been an
incursion of medical quacks, from America.
Among these is a « Doctor " who declares him
self to have emanated from « the Reformed
Medical College, U. S." He has issued a
pamphlet in which, with the delicate modesty
of his species, he kindly cautions all persons
against ss applying to country practitioners,
who too often not only protract the cure to a
longer period than necessary, but not unite
quently permanently damage the constitution
of the patient by improper treatment." This
reminds one of the wolf cautioning the sheep
against the shepherd. To wind up, mention is
made of a « Philanthropic Society of Grateltil
Patients," consisting of persons cured of
sc great nervousness, debility, exhaustion of
the system, groundless fears, thoughts of mel
ancholy, and directed by Providence (sic) to
that gentleman."
To England has also sped that well-adver
tised gentleman, « the retired (not retiring)
physician, whose sands of life have nearly run
out "—who, in the East Indies, « discovered
a certain cure for Consumption, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and General De
bility "—who lands the healing qualities of
East India Hemp, .(a lineal application of
which might fitly ferns the concluding reward
of his labors)—who by it cured « his only child,
a daughter," when she was given up to dio—
and who, in his great benevolence, « since
administered the wonderful remedy to thou
sands of sufferers in all parts of the world,
and he has never failed in snaking them com
pletely healthy and• happy," and « wishing to
do as much good as possible, he will send to
such of his afflicted follow-beings as request
it, this recipe, with full and explicit directions
formaking it up and successfully using it. He
requires each applicant to enclose him six
stamps—ono to be returned as postage on the
recipe, and the remainder to be applied to the
payment of this advertisement."
Ho gives his address, in London—and his
name is the same as that of the "retired phy
sician" of Jersey City, who by a singular co
incidence, also had an "only child, a daugh
ter," given over to die, and miraculously re
stored to health and happiness by an East
Indian plant. Aro there two, or has " sands
Of life" the virtue of übiquity, enabling him
to be in London and the Jerseys at one and
the same time, in happy emulation of the bird
spoken of by the late Sir BOYLE Rooms I It is
strange that, instead of going to such im
mense expense in advertising as "the retired
physician , ' does, in the old world and the now,
he does not publitth the health-restoring recipe
in ono of the newspapers. We shall be happy
to give it publicity in our columns, and can
venture to promise that it will immediately be
copied into a thousand journals. We have al
ready exposed the trick of "the retired phy

which is to send a recipe, one ingredient of

Of humanity adds that "nothing- whatever
will be charged for the Information; but - it is
expected that all perecins Making

Witt, in the five months since his arrival in
1 London, ho had received one hundred and
I forty-three letters of thanks Tor his "Ways of
'Making Money in Anierica and England," and
publishes three of them, declaring (of which
we have no doubt) that all the others aro
equally genuine."
We happen to know what two of the "ways"
are. One, recommended to a Boston appli
cant, was this—" Buy a foot-stand, blacking
ball, and three brushes, all of which will cost
under ono dollar; take possession of a con
venient corner in some well-frequented tho
roughfare, and, by blacking the boots of such
persons as require it, at four cents a pair, you
may easily earn from ono to two dollars a
day." The other way to fortune, intended
for aspiring enterprise in London,' was to
buy a bushel of potatoes„have them baked
nicely brown, sell them in public places for
one cent each, realize one hundred per cent. by
the sale, and (provided the demand was suffi
cient) make a fortune out of the trade—if you
were not bankrupt before you became a mil
lionaire !
We have a suspicion that neither the' Mis
sionary from the American "Reformed Medi
cal College ;" the venerable "retired physi
clan," of Jersey City and London ; or the
exemplary Mr. EVERETT MAY, with all his
"ways of making money," will blossom into
; institutions in England. Tho ground is al
ready occupied by native quacks.
The Bank of Pennsylvania-4 , Correction
To the Editor of Tho Frees
In the report of the proceedings of the
meeting of stockholders of the bank of Penn
' sylvania, in your paper of yesterday, I am re
,resented as saying, that 4 , for several years
,the late President has purchased bills receive
!'hlo, and abstracted the funds of the bank and
used them for his own purposes, without the
knowledge of the Directors," etc. What I
did say was somewhat different from this. It
was, that the President, as it appeared, had
been in the habit of selling (not purchasing)
the bills receivable of the bank, and that its
tweets had been abstracted, that tl:a deficiency
thus occasioned had been charged:either to
Starling Account or Transient or Temporary
Loan Account, so that no precisb conclusion
could be arrived at regarding its real condition,
until a thorough examination of its books and'
papers had been made by experts.
'YOur reporter represents me also at coin
4neotieg with severity" on the conduct of
the late President. I certainly had no wish
and did not mean to do so, but designed only
an appeal to the gentlemen who might be
selected as directors, to accept the trust, by
representing to them the service they might
ruutier by,siteltigtto the , charitable institutions
oftho city which had stock in the bank, and
to females and other stockholders who could
lily bear their loss, a portion of their stock. I
mentioned, also, as a reason for their accept
ance, that it was due to the character of the
city that there should be an exposure 'of the
names of those who had aided or abetted the
late President in his unauthorized or fraudulent
acts. Mote UR E ROBINSON.

wallows of lipnin ut Ilwvawa.
(From the New York Herald.]
A gentleman of this city has received some pri
vate letters from Havana of a recent date, giving
private and reliable information of the prepare•
flow that are being made there for an invasion of
Mexico. These letters ho has placed in our hands
for use, and we have translated such portions
thereof as are of public importance. They are as
follows:
11.tvams, Oct. 29,1857.
My DEAR IRMO : Al somebody has said, when
matters effect us nearly we have all a right to
speak. Therefore you must not be surprised that
1, a business man, and more learned as to sugar
than as to matters of state policy, should assume
my pen to discuss somewhat subjects of the latter
character.
Know, then, sir, that it is a fact that quite a
martial spirit has again been evoked here, and
that the equipment of an expedition is announced
as to take place immediately, which is to give the
finishing blew to the power of Mexico, and to con
vert that Republicinto a Spanish colony. It is
said that Comonfmt persists in his policy, and has
intimated that if Lafragua were not admitted to
Madrid, BO as to pave the way for further negotia
tions, be would not listen to reasons of any kind,
although backed by all the Prances and Englands
In the world. The consequence is that the Mexi
cane have been continuing their preparations for
war, and we knew to a certainty that in Vera
Cruz they have been raising fortifications, do.
But while the children of Montezuma aro thus
preparing for war, we, who call ourselves the de
scendants of Cortez, are not idle.. In the Moro
and in San Nazarris, cartridges are being made by
thousands, and in all haste, and tho soldiers ate
hastening to learn the use of the Mini carbine.
There i 8 not the slightest doubt that these people
are co-operating with the Santa Anna party, and
that if, under the pretext of favoring the nreten
miens of Santa Anna, who is supported by the
clergy and Spaniards in Mexico, they can succeed
in effeeting a proper landing on the soil, they will
then march into the interior up to the very palace
of Comonfert. Thus, at least, say and belies 0
those bravo sons of Pelayo, who already imagine
themselves to be living in the good old times of
Balboa, Pizarro, and Cortez.
The royal funds set apart for the purpose amount
to over four millions of dollars, and, if necessary,
the Spanish bank is relied upon, and also the
twelve millionsoffered to that bunk for the term of
six months by the capitalists whom Concha con
sulted in the moments of the financial panic.
Latterly the regiments designed to take part in
the expedition have boon decided on, and it ap
pears that they are only waiting for the arrival of
the opportune moment of notion. As Concha knows
that he is removed, and as he does not wish to
abandon his seraglio, he has come to the conclusion
that his best plan is to urge en the strife with
Mexico because then ho will be left in his post es
es to inture th e peace of Cuba, which Concha
alone—as tney say—can do.
As to other matters, the lending of Chinese con
tinues, and they will soon commence, it is said, to
bring us apprentices. If they go on as they have
done up to the present, the day will arrive—end
that ehortly—when it will be little short of impos
sible to say which ip the dominant color in the so
eletT of our land.
What thirks Mr. Buchanan? Is his Excellency
80 stupid as not to know how to take advantage of
circumstances One thing is certain—that it is
necessary to do something, and that all feel the
Meessity of action, although no one ventures to
indicate the mode or the time. We WWI see.
Adieu, and tell us what occurs, so that we may
know how to not. 4e,rB
P. S.—The yellow fever (or the vomito) conti
nues to fulfil its providential mission—that is to
any, killing Spaniards. Do you recollect the Dr.
llamboldt who professed to acre the malady? The
poor devil has died for heretically attempting to
step the justice of God. Ills holy will be done !

I have learned positively that the expedition to

of cartridges in tho Morn, and another million in

the Santa Anna party to go to support it.
Santa Anna's mother-in-law has received letters
to the cited that there have already been risings
in some parts of the Mexican Ropublio in favor ut
Santa Anna. The ship Asia, the lierenzucla, and
other vessels of war, have arrived with troops, and
I understand that steno Spanish merchant vessels

are in the royal chests four millions of dollars dis

TWO CENTS.
Large and Latham:lmi° Meeting.
[Prom thu National Democrat—E=tna,]
LECOUPTON, (Kansas Territory.)
October 31, 1357.
Agreeably to a call fore meeting, made through
the columns of the Nat ional Denteeent, the peo
ple from different portiond of the Territory assem
bled at Lecompton to-day for the purpose of taking
action in relation to a meeting styled a " demo
cratic" meeting, held at Locomptou an the 2.oth
instant, in which resolutions servo passed denuncia
tory of Governor Walker and Secretary Stanton
for their action in reference' to the gigantie fraude
attempted to be practised upon the ballot-box at
the Mord precinct, in Johnson county.
Col. Ely Moore, formerly of New York city, was
elected President.
Hon. Rush Elmore of Alabama, Gen. William
Brindle of Pennsylvania, R. B. Nelson, Esq., of
Virginia, Hon. John Spicer of New York. James

and A. IV. Jones of Virginia, were elected Vice
Presidents.
B. T. Mitchell of Kentuoky, Wm. SteVene of
Ohio, P. P. Bruner of Pennsylvania, and John

The Chair having explained the object of the
meeting; it was, upon motion, resolved that & com
mittee of three, consisting of General Findley Pat
terson, of Pennsylvania, Colonel J. M. Coe, of Wis
consin, and William P. Lamb, of Kentucky, be
appointed; which committee immediately retired, I
and, after on absence of some minutes, reported
the following preamble and resolutions; which
were unanimously adopted :
Whereas a small . party of men, not exceeding
twenty-five in all, in a meeting hold at this place,
since the result of the late territorial election was
known, have deemed it proper to pass and publish
to the people of the United States a series of reso
lutions denunciatory of the course of policy pur
sued by ]lobertJ. Walker, Governor, and Frede
rick P. Stanton, secretary of the Territory of Kan
sal, relative to our late election, calculated to mis
lead and deceive the oitizensof the United States;
it is therefore just and proper that the settlers of
this Territory, without any view to promotion of
the cause of party polities, should thus meet to
gether and proclaim in unmistakable terms to the
people of the States and the world their views and
sentiments: Therefore, be it
Resolved, That mainly through the instrumen
tality of the just and patriotic proclamation is
sued by Governor Walker previous to the election,
right'ully construing the laws prescribing this
qualifications of a voter its Kansas, the people had.
secured to them the enjoyment of the elective
franchise, and a peaceful solution of much of the
difficulty that threatened to involve our country in
general ruin.
Revoked, That we most heartily endorse the re
jection, by Goveruorßobert J. Walker, and Secre
tary Stanton,i of the fraudulent and itscormal return
from Johnson and McGee counties, In this Terri
tory, by which means they have done their duty
in establisliing the purity of the ballot-box in Kan
sas, and furnished to us unmistakable evidence of
the sincerity of their professions and promisee to
defend the rights of this Territory; and thii we
hereby pledge ourselves, in solid column ; to stand
by them in defence of the people's rights,
Resolved, That we hereby acknowledge our in
debtedness to James Buchanan, President of ihe
United States, for the selection of a Governor and
Secretary for Kansas who have the capacity to
understand, and the high moral courage neces
sary to defend, the rights of its citiruts.
Resolved, That we call on Congress, at the ear
liest possible moment, to appoint a committee of
investigation, with power to examine by whom and
where the fictitious and fraudulent returns that
imported to have come from precincts in Johnson
and McGee counties were made, that offenders may
be brought to justice.
After the adoption of the abbr." resolutions, the
Hun. F. P. Stanton, who happened to be present,
was loudly nailed for, and responded in a most
eloquent, able, and unanswerable argument in
defence of Gov. Walker's exposition of the tax
law, and the action of the Governor and himself
in relation to the fraudulent vote of the Oxford
preoinet, and closed amid the plaudits of the mul
titude.
The meeting was occasionally enlivened by rich
strains of music discoursed by the splendid imam
bend from the city of Lawrence.
The President, Col. Moore, being then milled
for, arose awl addressed the crowd in his most hap.
py and inimitable style for a few moments, at the
close or which the meeting adjourned sine die.

Interesting to Stock Speculators..
A case of interest to stock speculators and bro
kers, involving the validity of time sales of stock
Made without actual delivery, is reported in the
Boston papers of Friday, as follows:
Samuel 0. Meade we. Charles E. Moody. This
is an action to recover on a promissory note for
$2,349, given under the following circumstances
- in 1854 the defendant; who was then a clerk in the
employ of Silas Piens do C 0.., bought wine Mackin
the East Boston Company, of the ,plaintiff . whit
hirekaki trees Jude
10,1854. The stock was left with the broker as
collateral, but as the stook went down instead of
receiving the expected rise, the broker called on
the buyer for more collateral; this the defendant
refused to give. Thus the matter rested until some
time in 1850, when Moody was called upon for a
settlement by Mead. The former offered Mead
$lOO, but the broker asked SRO, which was re
fused, and the case was then put into the c.nirts.
The counsel for the defendant resists the pay
ment of the note on the ground that the sale was
illegal, and the note was given for no considera
tion, no the sleek was never delivered to the de
fondant.
The main point of interest in the ease was
brought out in the cross-examination of the plain
tiff, when he admitted that be was speculating in
East Boston stocks, sometimes having large
amounts to his credit, and sometimes baring none;
all he bad, and among it the defendant's stock,
being pledged to raise money; and the point bore
made was whether, as Moody 's stock was pledged for
Mend's benefit, it could In any sense be held to have
been kept for the benefit of the former, and should
be paid fur by him.
The counsel for the plaintiff, to obviate this diffi
culty, here asked the plaintiff on the stand whether
or not it was a general custom among brokers who
carry stock for the accommodation of buyers to
pledge the stock on call to enable them to bold it ?
The question was objected to, and the court ruled
it out on the ground that'f sash was the eustom it
was an illegal one, and that a pledge of securities
left with a broker. without the consent of the owner,
was a broach of Oust. The`ease has not yet been
given to the jury.
Love and IIlora! Insanity
[From the New York Daily Times ]
The hab , ar carpi., case of Anne Bassett Smith
has come up before Judge Davies in the Supreme
Court. This case is wrapped in a great deal of
mystery, and, if the developments are permitted to
come to light, will form another chapter in the
romance of private lunatic asylums. It appears
that some seven or eight years ago the subjeet of
the present writ of habeas corpus, then about
twenty years of age, formed an attachment which
her father did not approve of ; be opposed her
wishes, and the consequence was that the young
lady exhibited a state of mental excitement which
was designated "moral insanity," and her parent
placed her under restraint with Mr. McDonald, in
the Flushing Private Lunatic Asylum. Here she
remained over since, more than seven years, her
brother being ignorant of her whereabouts. At
last, by some accident not yet disclosed, it became
known that she had been confided to the care of
Mr. McDonald, and the brother of the imprisoned
lady caused to be presented to this court the fol
lowing petition :
To Box. Ifetrer E. DAVIES, JUST/CE,
The petition of Selah Squires of the city of New
York, shows that Anne Bassett Smith is restrained
of her liberty, nt Flushing, Queens county, in this
State, by one Allan McDonald ; and that she 13 not
emulated or detained by virtue of any process
issued by anv court of thelinited States, or by any
judge thereo? ; nor is she committed
,or detained
by virtue of the final judgment or decree of any
competent tribunal, of civil or criminal jurisdic
tion, or by virtue of any execution issued upon
such judgment or decree ; that the pause or pre
tenet) of knelt detention and restrain, according to
the hest of the knowledge and belief of your pe
titioner, is, that the said Anne Bassett Smith is
morally insane ; that this deponent is retained to
prosecute a writ of habeas corpus in this ease, by
her brother, Thomas Gregory Smith; that on the
3,1 day of November instant, deponent visited said
Anne at Sanford Hall, in Flushing aforesaid ; that
the said Anne requested of said McDonald, pen,
ink, and paper, although he was assured that be
should first peruse anything that might be written;
that the said Anne is not in any sense insane, es
deponent verily believes, and that her imprison
, ment is wholly unauthorised. Wherefore, your
petitioner prays that a writ of habeas corpus
issue, directed to Allan McDonald, commanding
him to bring the person of said Anne before your
honor, to be dealt with according to law.

A new Political USW'
Senator Sumner, of Mass., writes from Europe •
'• Mr. Ilauks has nobly done his share in the great
work of reformation, in which, at heart, ire are all
so earnestly concerned, and in all the trying posi
tions in which circumstances have hitherto placed
him be hie come out of the ()Ideal unscathed, ever
the constant and truthful friend of Freedom fur
the American Continent.'
Mr. Sumner's rhetoric is never very lucid; and
ho in more turgid than usual. in this letter; but
wo snpposo that he means to organize Massachu
setts polities upon the bang Freedom far the
American Continent." We expect, therefore, soon
to hear the cry raised by his partisans for 0 1 Bleed
ing Brasil"--.“ Protection
. to Patagonian Indus
try." The rights of Esqmmaux to the electoral
francbiso will also form a pretty theme for the
orators who have framed so many heart-rending
sentences on the Deed Scott decision.—Albany

FORT RIPLRY.—A Minnesota correspondent of
the Boston Post writes:
" The sale of the principal part of the Fort Ripley
reserve occurred on the :10th inst. It sold on an
average at three cents per acre. The reserve was
very large, and extended into the village of Crow
Wing, seven miles above the fort. The scarcity of
Money and the remoteness of the reservation are
two reasons for the cheapness of the land, but they
seem to me a hardly sufficient explanation. What
will now be said about the Fort Snelling reserva
tion? That was sold at private sale for about eleven
dollars an acre, while Fort Ripley sells for three
canteen acre lit palls sale."
