In the year 1816, the writer or this article,..-nbarked in
the drug business in the city of. Philadelpin. where he
hue been engaged now over sixteen years in the menu - -
facture of pharmaceutical preparations of various de
scriptions. But for the last ten years most of his time
has been employed. in the manufacture of the various
solid and fluid extracts.
Most prominent among those to which lie deeires to
call,the particular attention of - the faculty, druggists,
and the public, are the Highly Concentrated Fluid Ex
tract Huhu, and Highly Concentrated Fluid Extract
Sarsaparilla.
Both of these are prepared on Purely scientific princi
ples (in Immo.) and embody the full strength of the
none Ingredients entering into their composition. These
medicines require considerable care in the preparation,
and the employment of different menstrua in successive
operations to tali.) tip the extract matters, and in conse
quence are most frequently improperly made, and not
unfrequently much impaired, if not rendered totally
inert, by the injudicious and unskilful management-of
those acquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
My extract Buchn, upoi inspection., will be found to
be of the odor. color, and taste of the plant of that name.
and not a dark, glutinous preparation- A ready and
conclusive test wllibe a comparison of its properties with
those set forth in the United States Dispensatory. .
The Extract Sarsaparbla is far superior to any prepa
ration that has ever come to my notice as a blood purify-
tug agent. 6 tablespoonful of the Extract Sarsaparilla
added to a plat of water is fully equal to the celebrated
Lisbon Diet Drink, so much used by enfeebled and deli-
cate constitutions of both sexes and all ages.
One bottle is fully equal in strength to one gallon of
the syrup or decoction as nenally made, and hundreds
of dmggists throughout the country have adopsed it in
making their syrups of this name.
I desire,in this eounection r to make a plain statement of
facts, being prompted to do so—
First—By a consideration of the welfare of suffering
humanity.
Second—Becanse I do not wish my articles classified as
nostrums or patent medicines, many of which are made
by persons too ignorant to read a physician's simplest
prescription, much less to manufacture pharmaceutical
preparations.
These persons advertise. This lam compelled to do,
to bring my name before the public, conscientiously be
lieving alit I have the most valuable articles that were
ever advertised. They have been adveitised over ten
years, commencing in a small way, and have not only
sustained their reputation, but their popularity has ex
tended to all parts of the "United States, and widely
Ahroogbmit foreign countries: .
As betore remarked, L in common with the manillas
tnrexers of patent medicines, advertise my medicines.
But how shortiived have been , the thousands of these
articles. And yet there are many parsons who will con
tinue to think that merit in the article is not essential to
success-
My course, in many particulars, has beenqnite differ
ent from that of any others. With over 30,000 unsolicit-
ed certificates and recommendatory lettere from all sec-
tions, many of which are from the highest sources, in
cluding eminent pnYsiciane, clergymen, statesmen, ,ke.
I have not been in the habit of resorting to their publi
cation in the newspapeis, Ido not do this for the reason
tkiEtt,AS my articles rank as standard remedies, they do
not need to be propped up by certificates. I may, Lair
ere; Without too ranch deviotion from my plan, pre
sent here a spec,imeu—one selected by chance from the
great number at hand. Read the following certificate of
a cure of over twenty years' standing:
H. T. HRLMBOLDi
DEAR SIR: ,I•have been troubled with an affection of
the Bladder and Kidneys for over twenty years. I bad
tried physicians in vain,'and at last concluded to give
your genuine Preparation a trial. as I had. heard it so
highly spoken of. I have used three bottles, and have
obtained more relief from Ito effects, and feel much bet•
ter than I have for twenty years Preview?,
I nave the greatest faith in its virtues and curative
Powers, and shall do all in my power to make it known
to the afflicted_ Hoping this may, prove advantageous to
you in assisting lOU to introduce the Medicine. I am
truly yours, Iff. C. McCORMICK.
LER - 131'0N, Pa, , August ZS. lees 7.
H. T. HELMBOLD. ESQ.:
I am hoppy to inform you that after the use of your
Medicine a cure bar been effected ; and I candidly believe
I should have been in my grave bad it not been for it.
Tour obedient servant, M. C. McCORMICK.
This gentleman offers the following references attest
Mg the facts of this ease : -
Hon. Wit. BIGLER. Ex Governor Pa.
- Hon. THOS. B P WHENCE; Philadeinhia.
Hon. J. C. :KNOX. Attorney General. Harrisburg, Pa.
Mon. J. S. BLACK, U. S. Attorney General, Washing
ton.
Hon. D. R. PORTER ft-Governor Pa.
Hon. It C. GRIER, Judge B. S. Court
Hon. JOHN BIGLER, Ex-Governor California.
Of the whole number treated, as shown by our certifi
cates, 8,720 were treated for diseases of the Bladder. Kid
neys, Gravel - , and DroPsical Swellings. The average
amount of medicine consumed, as per certificates, - was
seven bottles; the average term of suffering one year and
one month. Of this number, 380 were females, 227 chil
dren, and the balance males.
10,121 were . treated for diseases arising from excesses:
Habits of dissipation, youthful imprudence,attended with
various SYMPtOMB, among which will be found indispo
sition to exertion, weak nerves, Alimness of vision, night
sweats, pallid countenance, great mobility, restlessness,
horror of society, no earnestness of manner. These
symptoms, if allowed to continue, would undoubtedly
result in epileptic fits, insanity or consumption. how
many thousands of the young have died of these causes.
Visit our almshouses, hospitals, and prisons, and see the
misery they produce. Out of these
,10, 121, there were
.6,021 males, 3,750 females. The sex of the remaining
number was not stated in letters. The average term of
suffering was 4% years; average age 24 years; average
amount of medicine consumed 1034 bottles. In respect to
ailments peculiar to women in decline or change of life,
this will be found invaluable. No Limn) should be with
out it.
1863.
7,`,T0 were treated for &Wale, Salt Rheum: Scald Head.
Ulceration ol ihe Throat and Legs, Pains and Swellings
of the Bones, Totter, Pimples on the face, and all scaly
eruptions of the skin.
8,971 Were treated for diseases of the blood arising from
habits of dissipation. Of this number 2,247 were treated
for syphilis, 9#4 for humors of the blood, 1,333 for diseases
of a secret nature, in all their stages. In this class of
complaints . patients do not readily volunteer certificates,
which accounts for the small number received. Of this
number 4.219 were males and - 2,200 were females; ave
rage age 26 years and 3 months; avorase term of suffer
ing 3 months; average amount consumed 9 bottles.
The above statistics are taken from a diary kept ex
pressly for the purpose, and with great care.
The proprietor, in making this statement, hopes that
his motive may be appreciated. A feeling that entire
candor is due to all has prompted him to do so. I am
well aware that many persons consider tie or ten dol.
late expended in any kind of medicine for the benefit of
their health a waste of money, and yet these same Per
sons will expend hundreds of dollars in dress and dissi
pation, and think nothing of it Such forget
Thst good health
Is true wealth.
Let us look at this matter for a moment. There are as
tringents, purgatives, narcotics, poisons, diuretics, blood
purifiers, &c. There is no contradicting the following
facts
A poison, for one is a poison for all.
A naa code for one is a narcotic for all.
A diuretic for one ie a diuretic for all.
A purgative for one is a purgative for all.
A blood purifier for one is a blood purifier for all.
With this difference only, that some constitutions require
more than others.
The Extract Sarsaparilla will answer in all ogees, and
will accomplish as much as any other purifier. I will
gladly pay $5, WO for a better article.
My ExtraotZuchn is a Diuretic, and will act as such,
accomplishing as mach as any other. I will gladly pay
55,e00 for a better article. Both are vegetable prepara
tions, pleasant in taste and odor, and safe, and are taken
by men; women, and children. Explicit directions ac.
company the medicine.
To the suffering I. NIVDDIa ear. in conclusion, that I have
hesil ranch to contend:With, the objects being chiefly of
tins description. The expense of preparing my articles
Is such that I could not afford to commission them as pa
tent medicine manufacturers do, but have been compell
ed to sell for cash.
Consequently I have lest'much by unprincipled deal
ers endeavoring to dispose of their own or other articles
'on the reputation of mine. The merit of my preparations
has, however, quietly pushed them into favor; Ina yon
still need to exercise care to obtain my true preparations.

The Mercantile Beneficial Association—
Celebration of the Twenty-second
sseraary.
.Last evening Musical Fund Hall presented a
pleasing and elegant appearance. It was graced
with the pretence of a very large assemblage of our
most intelligent and respectable citizens, and ladies
innumerable. The occasion was the celebration of
the twenty-second anniversary of the Mercantile
Beneficial Association, an organization in which
there is universal interest on the part of all our
people. The platform weaned by the members and
others, and every available seat in the hall was oc
cupied. An eloquent orchestra, under the direction
of Mr. Simon Hastier, "discoursed most excellent
music," and the occasion wee, in every respect, most
entertaining. Mr. Win. O. Ludwig, president of the
association, announced the openingbf the evening'a
exercises by calling Hon. Jas. Pollock to preside.
Mr. Pollock, on taking the chair, WAS received
with applause. He acknowledged, to imitable term's,
the honor which was done him in requesting him - to
preside at so brilliant a meeting of a time-honored
association. It was a matter of congratulation for
the members of that association as well he for all its
Mende, that there were few other societies whose'
charity and benevolence could equal that of the
Mercantile Beneficial. Under all circumstances
this association relieves the morrows -of: the die
tressed, heals broken hearts, and nervet the
weakened arm. It was a noble, glorious hastitu.
lion, composed of men of character and intelligence.
No better evidence of its high character need be
asked for than its devotion to the country, now that
that country is in peril and danger: t Oommeroe ie
essentially loyal. [Applause.] Merchants will - stand
by the flag. The relations of commerce to civiliza
bon and progress have been frequently dwelt upon,
but it ban a deeper relation to loyalty, and in that
view it is pleasant now to contemplate' it. In this
contest of our's commerce has not been idle. Phila
delphia's merchant princes have deserved and will
receive the gratitude of the country. They had been
unmoved by partisanship, and presented .a happy
contrast to certain political judges who
would have
had power only that they might embarrass the Orrn
verninent. [Applause.] The politicians had failed,
and for this result the merchants could claim no
little of the honor.
The report of the Society, an abstrtiat of which'
has already appeared in The Press, was then read by
Mr. Samuel R. Oolladay.
The programme announced the next speaker
would be Rev. M. A. De Wolfe Howe D. D Mr .
Pollock, however, stated that Dr. Howe was
.de
tained at home, in consequence of quite a serious
illness. This would be regretted, as no one could be
received with more favor than that distinguished
and patriotic divine. Dr. Howe's letter, stating his
inability to be present, was then read.
The resolutions pledging the Association to ens
' tain the Government, which have been already pub
haled, were then read, and Mr. Pollock, detiring to
know whether they had the endorsement of the
friends of the Association, requested those is favor
of the resolutions to rise, and the whole audieuce,
ladies and gentlemen, immediately rose to their feet.
The band played the " Star-Spangled Banner,'?
exciting quite an enthusiasm in the audience, after- ,
which there was given a 'selection from " Dinorah."
Mr. Daniel Dougherty was then introduced: Mr.
D. was received in the moat cordial and flat
tering manner, and proceeded to deliver his 'ad
diese, which was listened to throughout with very
marked attention, and received with repeated out
bursts of applause.
SPEECH OF DANIEL DOUGHERTY. ESQ.
It has often been said that it is hard to puzzle
Philadelphia lawyer. You see before you, Mr. Chair
man, ladies and gentlemen, a refutation of the fal
lacy. It is true, lam not much of a lawyer, but AM
much perplexed. Twenty years ago, when I lived
for a while along Market street—pardon me for re
marking, I was a capital lad to get a situation, but
regret to say I never was able to keep one. At the
expliation of about the second week I would be in
vited into the counting-room, forthat occasion only—
paid my salary—l had insisted on a salary, and
would be invariably dismissed with the remark,
" You will never make a merchant,"
Itly respected and respective employers were quite
right. If, therefore, I have none of the qualities of
the merchant, you can judge with What diffidence
L:-
stand up tce night, in the presence of this brilliant
audience, to speak to the merchants of Philadelphia,
I can say with sincerity that I profoundly &ppm
date the high honor, and regret my inability to , do
justice to the occation.
In the midst of this gigantic war, that is shaking
the nation to its centre and riveting the gaze of the
world, it is a'delightful relief to devote one evening
to the celebration of the anniversary of an associa
tion whose every action breathes peace, charity, and'
love; an association that toucher' a chord of sympa
in- -
thy every generous heart ;An association Mattel's'
the daring merchant that if the sea swallows up hie
treasurer, the fire wraps in ruins his prowl posses
sions ; if faithless debtors or' the chances of trade
drag him down to penury, he has a band of brothers
- pledged and ready to gather about him in his Myer s
city, who will dry the teamof his' wife and children,
sby words of good cheer, and o ff er him the sympa
thy, encouragement, and aid, he only needs to rise
again to iffmence and splenddr. '[Applause,]
Long may this ' association continue to prosper !
Many, I hope, the number of those who will enroll
themselves its members; few, few, I pray, who may
ever need its readily-extended succor. '
It is not my intention to detain you by speaking of
the advantages of this association. Its efficiency is
best exhibited in the report of its managers, and its
praises have
- been spoken in words of fervid truth
and eloquenc in times past, by the master minds of
our pulpit, press, and forum.
Trade and liberal institutions foster and aid each
other. Where freedom rears her altar, there com
merce has tv throne. In a land like ours, where all
our citizens enjoy an equality of rights—where there
are no hereditary estates and titled families, the
merchants mutt always be the most conspicuous
citizens. Their wealth, enterprise, education, ex
perience, judgment, liberal views, and extended-con
nections, throw on them responsibilities of the
gravest character. They can make public opinion,
and control it when made. They can marshal the
people the way they should go ; they can infuse into
the masses the iron will that accomplishes great re
sults ; they can promote the generel happiness and
do good to all their lellowmen. A few of the duties
pra-eminently enjoined on our merchants I will
maize bold to glance at, and then retire.
First, you owe a duty to "dear Philadelphia,"
to us
The spot of earth supremely blest,
A Elea) er, sweet sr spot then all the rest
Here, where many of us were born—which all of us
call home—where live those whose love sheds a
halo of happiness around our pathway, and makes
our days all sunshine; where sleep the long sleep
our remembered and revered departed ; - where where our
names may be known when we too have joined our
fathers. We all have :reason to be proud of Platte- •
delphia ; of its cleanliness, refinement, and elegance ;
'
of its well-housed,- industrious,. and comfortable
poor; its great and still increasing prosperity;.its
institutions of learning, beneficence, and philan
thropy ; its historic associations, and its firm,
fixed, and unalterable resolve, come weal or woe,
to stand to the last on the side of the Repub
lic. Our people, merchants ofPhiladelphia, have
a right to regard you as the leading and
controlling citizens, the premoters of every pub
lic good, the pioneers of every enterprise ; you,
above all others, do, and should strive to add to the
fame and prosperity of Philadelphia. Every new
store or dwelling, hotel or hall, that you erect, is a
permanent benefit to the city. If our merchants,
manufacturers, and other wealthy citizens, will in
vest a part of their surplus capital in the heart of
the city, they can- make our own Broad street,
through its entire length, the equal of the Rue Se
bastopol of Paris. With your princely means, you
should found public institutions, and; by wise pre.
cautions, -protect them from the polluting taloa of
the politicians. If unable to do this, you can link
your names forever to the gratitude of the people by 1
giving even small sums of- money for specific pur- I
poses, in adorning our public grounds, or the charm
ing spot by the side of the Schuylkill which is dedi
caud " To the people and to their heirs forever.
to walk abroad and recreate themselves ;" or, by
adding to our public libraries, endowing professor
ships in our colleges, or establishing prizes in our
public schools, to fire the ambition of the young, and
make them worthy of their sires.
There was a time, and that not long ago, when
great merchants like Girard, Cope, and Carey,
graced our City Councils, then, as dignified a body
as the Senate of the United States—when merchants
represented the city in the State Legislature—when
our public institutions were under the supervision
of gentlemen whose motives, full-breast high, were
as pine as the objects of the institutions themselves.
Now, these seats of honor have been usurped-by
ignorant and corrupt adventurers, who, in despite
the living,
,break faith even with the dead, and make
the noble' charitiee of departed benefactors their
plunder and the spoils of office. When will this
end t The respectability; the labor, the wealth, led
by our merchants, should rise at once and rescue
these jewels Of, the body politics.' If you do not,-
tomer or later, you will rue the day you failed to'do
your duty. The fate of a sister city even now comes
as a warning to you. There the ermine has been
dragged through the filth of the vilest partisanship,
and men lifted to the sacred seat who, fl justice were
done them, would be barred within the dungeons of
a penitentiary. ,
Thank Goo the judiciary of Philadelphia, up to
this time, is learned, fearless, and pure as snow. It •
will not always be so if the merchants and business,
men, vitally interested, are as indifferent in the fu-;
ture as they have been in the recent past. . -
The merchants of Philadelphia should stand up
for her rights in the-Legislature of the State. The
prejudices that once existed are dying out of the
breasts of the people of the interior. If mitr mer
chants did but exercise the influence within their
control,,they could send to the Legislature a deic es tion of gentlemen who, acting in concert, could show
the interior the true men of Philadelphia, and.
achieve, with ease, all the legislatiho needed. As it
is, agents arc employed in Harrisburg throughout_
the pension to . watch, with Argus' eyes, that the
gum diens of their rights do not rob' them of their
all. Philadelphia, with one-fifth of the population
of Pennsylvania, paying ono fifth of the taxes, has
to beg that laws are not passed slapping the vitals of
her industry and wealth. To be a Philadelphian into
be exiled from all the high honors of the State, so that
one is prone to search the Constitution to see if there
be not among the qualifications for Governor of Penn
sylvania a clause that he must not live soutleof
Montgomery county nor east of the river Schuyl
kill. This should not be, and will not when our
merchants are alive to- their own interests and
solemn obligations. So, too, the National Govern
ment amnia aid our city. Other cities have mer
chants always on the wing to the capital to advance
the interests of their localities. No one can blakie
them. 'Philadelphians should do the same If it is
necessary that a new navy yard should be purchased,.
new fortifications erected, or new buildings con
eructed for the Government, the merchants repreL
senting the great interests of the oily should speak
out, and speak home. They should not allow Phila
delphia, famed for its beauty, to be disgraced by the
purchase and alteration of old buildings belonging
to a past generation, but demand the - erection of
massive piles of architecture,new from the founds,
tion-stora to the turret, giving employment to our
industry, and in keeping with the tasteffimpOrtance;
and dignity of one of the first cities of the world.
If the National Government could build for Charles
ton—accursed Charleston—a custom house'worth a
and for New Orleans one which, - when
finished, will cost seven millions, Philadelphia lute
superior claims, for she is as true to the National
Government "as the steel le true to the star or the
stream is true to the sea," [Tremendous applause.]
Thus, gentlemen, leading all your fellow-citizens
in a labor of love, you will make ours the elly,where
the traveller will delight to tarry ; perchance in far
off lands we may hear the sweet music of her praise,
and all Americans will share with us the pride we
feel in her prosperity. -
I caenotunderstatail how any American who boasts
of- nationality can- have a mean jealousy or dislike
of any of our great cities. [Applause.] ,
'We all rejoice and are glad that Pittsburg is the
day to the United States what Birmingham is to
England. Every jargeminded man takes ptide in
the marvelous prosperity of Chicago, the young
Giant of the mighty West ; of San Francisco, that
will yet pour the wealth of the Indies into the lap of
the Union ; and of all the cities that are rising like
magic in the great valley of the Niesizeippi. Boston
we love for her love of liberty and lettere. Balti
more is doubly dear to the patriot, now that her
"BODY DWELLS BEYOND THE MEASURE OP HER
on.arris, WHICH BURST PROM AROUND HER, AND
SHE STANDS REDEEMED, REGENERATED, AND DIefiN
TRRALLED BY TEES lIVREBOOTIBLE GENIUS OF lINI.
vensax. RMASUNPATION," [This sentiment was re
ceived with the most deafening applause.]
And as for Nese York, I for one never walk Its
crowded thoroughfares, its avenues of palaces, ride
through its superb park, and witness its unequaled
enterprise and matchless Magnificence, but my
bosom throbs with patriotic emotions; as I exclaim,
" and this too is a part of my country," Let there be
no jealousies between the two leading cities of the
Union. Each has enough to be proud of to glory
in the other. If New York excel us In commerce,
we are ahead in manufactures. If more vessels
crowd her splendid harbor, our entire tonnage ie
greater than here. If she has a larger population,
we have more houses. If her military organizations
excel ours—well, she needs them more than we do.
If she surpass us in balls and banquets to the repro.
sen taitiee of foreign. natlonalitier, we rather think
We exceed her in patriotic devotion to our own. If
there must be rivalry, let us make it historic. Let
our reercleants anew the gage of friendly challenge
to their brothers of New York, each to: excel the
other according to capital in subscriptions to the
National Loan, and now that our venerated Presi
dent calls for eoldiers, let us pledge ourselves that
lor every regiment New York raises, Philadelphia
will raise another—that every company she musters,
another from this city will wheel into line;.aye, for
every Volunteer she enlists, a soldier from our midst
will spring into the ranks to the aid of our imperiled
country. Thus may these leading cities ignite the
fires of patriotic emelation to burn in every town
and county of the loyal North. [Great applause.]
The meichants owe a duty to our grand old Com
monwealth, so fertile and so free. With skies as blue
as those or Italy ; with fields as green as those of
Ireland ; with scenery as grand as Switzerland ; with
mines more precious than Golcondas ; with daugh
ters as beautiful as grace the court of any king, and
sons as true as ever struck bands in friendship, or in
battle bled for the triumph of the right. It is a sad
thought that the people of Pennsylvania are not as
they should be, devotedly attached to each other.
Lecal prejudices are detrimental tothe general weal.
Let the merchants continue to exercise their ripe
judgMents in devising means to still further develop
the resources of the State and make trade now in
our own channels. It is said that the Pennsylvania
Railroad, the Appian way to the West, in its scale
of prices for freight and passage, favors through
travel, and makes Pennsylvanians pay for it.
There may be, and doubtless are, good reasons for
this, but it should be avoided as much as possible.
The greater the facilities of travel the oftener we
see each other at our homes—and whir has- visited
the interior of our State and can ever forget the
kindnesses received—the stronger our attachments.
The more ties which bind us together the better for
us all. Why should not this association embrace
within its membership merchants from every county
of the Commonwealth I -
. _
Whatever the political 'storm, convulsions!, and
earthquakes that may come in this direful period
of our history, and the Deity can alone penetrate
the gloom, we of Pennsylvania must stand or fall
together. The tread of rebel hordes has already
pressed her soil and bathed it with patriots' blood;
let tie then cling closer and closer , together, re
solving even now that our love for each other,
like our mountains, shall endure forever. (Renewed
applause.]
Above, beyond—aye, far above and beyond these,
in common with us all, you owe a duty, not alone
duty but love, allegiance to the only sovereignty
that the truly loyal neart aoknowledgea, the Repub
lic of the Ureted > States. Philadelphia is our
home, Pennsylvania our State. But our country
is every spot of land that sweeps in Unbroken beauty
from the cloudy summits of the far North, where
the wind howls in summer, to the garden slopes
where the orange blooms and roses scent the zephyrs
in midwinter; aye, from the mountains of Maine to
the last inch of Southern soil ; from where the wild
Atlantic dashes'on our shores, even to where the
round of the gentle swell of the Pacific is lost in the
din of approaching civilization—this, oh this, is
now, and, with the blessing of God, ever shall be our
country. Of all classes, the merchant owes most
- to the nation. His connections are not contied to
a locality, but the world itself is but the limit to hie
enterprise. It is the nation that guards your com
merce at sea a thousand miles from shore; it is the
nation that prevents tariffs on your inland trade; it
is the nation that, regulstes the currency ; it is the
nation that carries your missives to the remotest
habitations ; it is the nation, that gave us peace for
seventy years, and crowned your labors with wealth.
Now is the time to show our gratitude and fidelity.
If we were proud of the Republic when she stood
peerless among the nations, she is doubly precious
to us now, when her happy days are over for a time,
and those who-feared her rectitude and truth gloat
over her misfortunes and strive to rob her even of her
name. = Gather close around her, merchants of Phi
ladelphia, es you would around a brother merchant
who bad fallen, and give to her, as you would to him,
the means, Pheenixelike, to rise again. [Applaueed
.I will not -insult you by appealing to fears and
zelfiah Ponaideratione • I will-not tell von how your
commerce may be devastated ; how Northern ports
'rimy yet be blockaded by the proud navies that ride
at anchor a hundred miles hence; how the Meals
:eippi at its mouth may be black with French and
British cannon; how you may lose your millions of
Southern indebtedness ; how in the end your trade
may tumble and:your wealth decay. No, let me ane
peal to nobler sentiments.
Shall the Republic our fathers gave - , us be lost to
our children? Shall that flag, our glory, ever be our
shame? Oh, while England, loaded with the weight
of a thousand years, stands strong and grasping ;
while Imperial France is adorning her crown with
thejewels of Mexico ; • while Russia, mightier each
day than before, is still resolved to extend her sway
to the Bosphorus, shall our Republic, the youngest
of all, with her sublime mission, be torn from the
list of nations? Oh, never! never! never! (A.p-
Then, merchants of Philadelphia, go on in the noble

Working Women's Appeal in New York.
Pursuant to a call, women operatives of ail kinds
assembled on Thursday evening at No. 157 Broadway.
Many of those present related their experiences ,•
which are embodied in the following statement, as
exhibiting the present prices paid to sewing women
and other operatives. During the various recitals
intense interest was manifested :
A cloak-maker said that her employer paid forty
cents for making one large lady's cloak, that took
'here day and a half of steady work ; but none ex
pert hands could makesone cloak a day. She paid
$2 50 per week board, and if not otherwise assisted
by kind friends, could not support herself. Many
others told similar stories.
- Shirt-makers said they were paid sixty cents per
dozen, "which teok a day and a half on the sewing
machine. Finer ebirta one dollar per dozen, all fin
ished. Flannel shirts, from four to six cents :each.
Sometimes they could make a dozen in a day,:but
the average was seven and eight. Shirts with two
pockets—two could be made in one and a half days,
for which they received seventy-five cents Other
flannel shirts, were paid at the rate of ten cents each.
For overalls and drawers they received fifty cents
per dozen, and half. a dozen was a good day's work.
Boys' Clothing—Sixty-eight cents was paid for A
whole suit, which took the working-woman Irdmiten
to fourteen hours.
Hoop-skirt Slides—One little girl who worked at
this business said that last summer she received
three cents a gross, but they were now paid only
one-and-a-half cents per gross, and frequently mashed,
their filagere so that they would be laid up. A good
"smart band could make a shilling a day by working
hard. The hoop skirt makers received from 16 cents
to 22% cents per 100 springs. Smart hands could
make up from 200 to 250 springs per day. Sometimes
they were kept idle one cei two days in the week.
Sack Coats—Four dollars are paid for a dozen;
six could, be finished in one day, for which they re
ceived $2, out of which they paid the baisters 48
cents, rent of sewing machine 18 cents, five spools of
cotton, at 10 cents, each 60 cents, leaving a balance
. of 84 cents for each -half dozen finished, and then
with house rent at $6 per month, and the fuel used
hi pressing, left vary= little for an average day's pay
at this kind of work. • -
Cavalry Pantaloone—Balatere received Scents a
piece and could heist four a day. ' This Work is not
-plenty: Officers? pantaloons being a finer article,
werespaid at the rate of 14 cents each, but the but•
ton holes had to be made very neatly.
} . ; ;.:Linen Coats—from :eighteen to twenty cents each.
Bobbin winders are receiving $2.50 per week.
Some time ago they tidied for $3 per week, but it
was not granted. Some of the girls in one shop quit
work, arid the weavers had to wind- their own bob
bins. Alter being out of work two or three day",
they.applied - for some pay that was due them, and
could not get it, the brutal foreman threatening to
kick them down stairs if they denianded it again.
Finally they resumed work at the old rate. Some
of these operatives have aged parents to support.
Sewing-machine operators are generally paid 5
cents for 60 yards of atitehing, and in some shoos
they are fined 5 cents if they are behind time five
minutes, of a elarkmorning. 'Fine shirts are paid at
rates varying from 65 cents to $1.12 per dozen, and
if brought to the shojis with a button off, the work
' girl is charged 26 cents for "finishing," which the
foreman says will havOto be done in the shops. A
great deal of unnecessary .fault. is - found with the
work, and when completed the girls say that in some
sheps they can never reckon, on. getting . the agreed
price. In 1860, for fine shirts they received $t per
dozen. They now get from 55 cents to: 80 cents.
Flannel shirts that are sold for $3 each the maker
only receives 10 or 12 cents for... - -
yest•makers can make one vest a day, for which
she receives from 40 to 60 cents. At this rate they
can earn about 30 cents per day; or by working un.
til ten and eleven o'clock, earn the 50 cents. s.
Those statements were made by the, operatives
themselves, and daring the evening a number of ope
ratives in the eame cantos* related their experience.
Some, with simple pathos, told how many mouths
they had to feed from Meier - scanty earnings, while
others spoke feelingly of the insults and slights
to which they were subjected. There was an
earnestness exhibited - by all to make known
to each other how, hard it ii'as to even live
. upon the prices paid -- to them for their labor.
While most of those present who spoke upon the
occasion were young girls, therolivere others, moth
er a of families, whose wan faces and scant apparel
indicated the daily struggle between ill health and
the labor required to support themselves and their
little families. Some were widows of dead soldiers,
unable to obtain even the labor the others were so
scantily paid for. - A few told how much they paid
weekly for their support, and were rejoiced when
they found twenty or twenty-five cents in their
purses, with their little debts all paid, when they
went to church on the Sabbath mo rning.
The following resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, That an - organization be formed for the
purpose of uniting the working women of the city
of New York into a movement for increasing the
Prices now paid for their labor. •
Resolved, That we will unite together for such .a
Resolved, That every shop or body of female ope
ratives hold a. meeting, and send two delegates to
*mother meeting to be , held next Wednesday eve
ning, at 7% o'clock, at 187 Bowery, 24 floor, for the
purpose or deciding upon a plan of action.
The object of the meeting was• stated by the gen
tlemen from the Workingmen'a Union to -be not a
atiike, but a combination of the working girls for
general protection, and to bring the subject of the
miserable pay received by them before the public—lt
was not realized in the community that so deplore,
ble a state of facts existed. The girls did not receive
enough to board decently, and in instances where
there were children or aged patents .to support the
hardship was terrible. The employers themselves
did not in many instanstances realize that they were
grinding down their employee in so wretched a po
verty. It was hoped that the- moral effect of the
publication of these facts would be enough to induce
good employers to raise their prices. The prices of
the articles made are double what they were a year
or two ago, and yet the prices paid for making are
much lessened.
It was suggested that some employers might dis
charge girls who should take part in this movement ;
but it was hoped -that no man would be mean
enough. The -object of the working girls - was to
bring about such a state of affairs that they could
ask a fair price, and not be wholly at the mercy of
the employer, so that 'both should have a voice in
making the bargain instead of one. The association
could be Organized, and then one partial/4r clan of
workers at a tiara could ask for higher wages and
refuse to work until they %vete paid, being supported
while out of employment by the ageochstion. There
were ladies of wealth in the city who would COD
tribute to the object' of helping She working
Od knows, that neither by sending money to the
heathen or endowing charitable institution, could
they prevent eo much entering and save so many
from crime.
. .
Hood's " Song of the Shirt" WSW recited in con.
elusion, and produced a deep effect on the meeting :
Oh I men with sisters dear 1
Oh ! men with mothers and wives !
It is net linen you're-wearing out;

The Marriage of Senator Sprague to the
Daughter of Secretary Chase.
(From the Washington Chronicle of Friday.
The marriage ceremony between Senator (and ex-
Governor) Sprague, of Rhode Island, and Miss Kate
Chase, the beautiful and highly accomplished and
eldest daughter of the Hon. Secretary 01 the Tree
:Wry, took place last evening, at half past B o'clock,
at the residence of the bride's father, corner of Sixth
and E streets. Although the contemplated nuptials
have been the occasional Subject of newspaper com
ment for some time past, yet to the public at large
the definite time of the marriage was not announced
until, within a day or two past.
The invitations to the wedding were as strictly
private as it was possible to be in consideration of
the high social position occupied by both the par
ties. Yet, notwithstanding this fact, some five hun
dred Invited guests were. assembled at the mansion
of Secretary Chase, between the hours of half past
eight and twelve o'clock. The representatives of
tde newepaper press, with one or two exceptions,
and these personal friends of the Senator and Secre
tary Chase, were, on this occasion, non-recipients
of cards of invitation.
The reputation of ex-GoVernor Sprague, not alone
as executive officer of the State of "Little Rhody"
and as a statesman, but as a brave and gallant sol
dier, is.world-avide. The.part he took in defence of
the capital, in July, 1861, at . the first battle of Bull
Dun, ie.knownto all our readers. At this battle he
personally commanded a Rhode Island brigade, and
behaved with great gallantry. Subsequent to this
he was conspicuous as an officer upon General Mce
Clellan's earl; during the Peninsula campaign. Be
aides these personal acts of merit in the field, Sena
tor Sprague has on numerous occasions bequested a
large proportion of his immense wealth to the orga
nizing, equipping, and supporting of the soldiers
from his own State, and by his personal influence
and example has, up to the present time, encouraged
a vigorous prosecution of the war.
Miss. Kate Chase, the bride of the distinguished
Senator, is a lady possessed of those rare virtues of
heart and mind which alone can be, recognized and
appreciated by those who are daily thrown in con
tact with her ; and it is in the modest retirement of
her own home that these graces-sparkle and radiate
like gems of dazzling splendor. Modest and retiring
in her manners, yet. blending withal a dignity and
ease that singles her out to the least observant eye
as a woman endowed with & nobility of heart, fitting
her for any position in life, no matter how exalted.
During the day everything had been properly ar.'
ranged ior the reception of the guests. A roll of
matting had been run from the main entrance down
the steps to the carriage steps, Shortly after dark a
large - crowd of all sexes, ages, and conditions began
to assemble around the mansion of Secretary Chase.
They were very goodmatured, an large crowds gene
rally are, and waited patiently for the arrival of the
first carriage. About 7„te o'clock it drove up to the
door, the occupants alighted and proceeded within.
Shortly another arrived, and then another, and soon
a continuous line of carriaees ranged along E street,
from Seventh street to near Fifth street. As one
after another discharged their inmates, some spicy
and good-natured remarks were passed by the eager
crowd in attendance. Much anxiety wag manifested
for the appearance of Reeeident Lincoln and Secre
tary Seward. President Lincoln did not arrive until
half past eight o'clock. He came in his private car
riage, without escort, and alone. The carriages were
arranged all around the square, and completely
blockaded the passage way. But little or no confu
sion occurred.
A s we have said before, the marriage took place
at half past eight o'clock. At that hour the bride
and groom entered the roilm, followed by the follow
ing-named ladies and gentlemen, acting as brides
maids and groomsmen : Miss Chase, sister to Miss
Kate Chase ; Miss Skinner, niece of the Secretary,
and Miss Nichols, niece of Governor Sprague;
'Major H. Baldwin, of General Stahl's staff- Cap
tain Haye, of General McDowell's staff; and Cap
taim Ives, Fleet Captain of the Pbtomac flotilla.
The parties having ranged themselves at the head
of the room, the marriage ceremony was performed
by Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, in the chaste,
beautiful, and impressive language of the Episcopal
faith, AITIODg the five or six hundred guests the in
tensest silence prevailed, and at the conclusion of
the ceremony the parents of the bride stamped for
ward and saluted her with a kiss. Then followed
the scenes ol joyous congratulation incident to such
an occasion, which promised to occupy the beat por
tion of the night bemire finished.
Mies Chase was dressed in a gorgeous white vel
vet dress, with an extended trail, and upon her
wore a rich lace veil. But little or no other orna.
merit was perceived upon her person. The Senator
was clad ins suit of rich black cloth, with the usual
addition of a white silk vest .
Among the dignitaries of the evening we noticed
the President, Abraham Lincoln, together with
nearly all the members of the Cabinet—Menus-Stan
ton, Bates, and others. Of the foreign ministers,
there were present Lord Lyons and Count Mercier.
The British and French legations were also well
represented. The military was represented by Ma
jor Generals Halleok, Auger, McDowell, and other
officers of lesser note.
Senators Wilson, and Coziness, of California, we
alto noticed during course of the evening.
Hon. Simon Cameron and his two daughters were
alike conspicuous among the hosts of guests assem
bled on this occasion, together with President Gar
rett and Wm. Prescott Smith.
At half past 11 o'clock the dancing (the Lancers)
commenced in the dining-room. Miss Kate Chase
led; off with Hon. R. C. Parsons, ex-Consul to Rio
Janeiro, as her partner. The young and beautiful
daughter of General irloTh‘well was singled out
among the crowd for her very fine dancing.
Among the belles of the evening was the daughter
of the Brazilian minister, whose beauty was the
cynosure of all eyes.
Dui ing the evening the Marko Band, which dis
coursed most elegant music, performed a superb
wedding march, especially written for the occasion
and dedicated to Miss Kate Chase.
The Troubles in the Coal Region.
['From the liauch Chunk Gazette, of Thursday.)
On Friday some of the Buckehots succeeded in en
ticing one of the soldiers belonging to Oapt. Yates ,
company into the Tressicow Hotel, where they at
tacked him with a slusg.shot, of course from be
hind. With his revolver he killed one of the scoun
drels, and wounded two or three others, and then
made tracks for his company.
The conductors on the Beaver Meadow Railroad
have been threatened with death for carrying soldiers
over the road to the scene of trouble.
On Sunday two companies of soldiere came up the
Lehigh Valley Railroad and proceeded to the in.
Seined district, and another company, from Potts.
vele, probably has arrived by this time. They are
quartered at Beaver Meadow and at Yorktown. At
this time all is quiet. These Buckshot villians are
as quiet as, mice just now, ar,d will remain so as
long as the blue'jackets are about, but no longer.-
They never attack a man unless they are about live
to one. They are beastly cowards, every one of
them, and onght to be exterminated. They follow
the teachings of our leading Com.erheads, who, du
ring the last campaign, urged them to "resist the
despotism of the National Administration? and to
assert their own "constitutional rights.” They
now openly declare their determination to drive all
loyal men from the mines, and then to stop the ship
ment of coal, in order to deprive the United States
navy of the article. It remains to be seen whether
the Government will passively submit to this very
Democratic programme.
What is to be done? The civil authorities will
not arrest these murderers. The life of no decenf
man, woman, or child is safe ± The military will do
very well for awhile, to preserve order ; but the
murderers of good citizens are at large, and the
cowardly Buckshots who are guilty of murder,
arson, and other damning crimes, now rule the
mines ! Is it not time for the citizens to organize
an armed Vigilance Committee, and to commence
the work of summary punishment? Under the
circumstances, we incline to the believe that the
time is at hand for all good citizens to take hold of
this matter, to make a positive law- for Buckshots
and their instigators, and .to execute it , without
further delay. Remp is the only remedy.
Since preparing the above, we learn that about
forty notorious Buckshots have been arrested in and
around Yorktown, most of whom are believed to
have participated in-the assassination of Mr. Smith.
The arrests were made on Tuesday, and the prison
ers guarded, by the military. We have yet heard of
no movement on the part of our civil authorities (to,
whom these prisoners regularly belong, for trial) to
take them in charge. We take it for granted they
will be brought to Mauch Chunk. They should- be
tried forthwith, and, if found guilty, hung without
further ceremony or delay. Proof that one of them
belongs to the Buckshots should be deemed sufficient
to convict and to execute. These villains should be
severely dealt with, and if courts. attorneys, and
juries won't do it the people should. We neeli a
citizens' Vigilance Committee.
THE ORGANIZATION OS THE lIIIONSHOTS
A correepondent of the Times writes from Beaver
Meadows : •
On the occasion of any force arriving at any point
in the township, the recruit -is immediately tele
graphed, by a series of picket shots, for a distance of
many miles. - For one week, Captain Yates' detach
ment of sixty men was the only force in the town
ship: On the night of Saturday last, a force, estima
ted at over 1,000 armed men, assembled in the brush
surrounding the helmet' Mrs. Smith, the temporary
headquarters of the detachment, with the avowed
intention of butchering Mr. Hall, of Peiladelphia,
the partner of the late Mr. Smith, and an owner of
the most extensive mining lands in the county. The
arrival of a cavalry force from Pottsville, sent to
reinforce Captain 'Yates, was telegraphed by.a sue
cession of shots, that were heard in rapid succession
extending along a line of four miles in extent.
One shot is the signal to disperse their battalion.
Two fired In rapid succession is their "assembly."
Sometimes three shote are. passed down the line,
the meaning of which has not yet been developed.
The motive of the leaders who' have begun this
accursed work of death is undoubtedly political.
Tie stoppage of the coal supply, by such an advance
in its price as would create a panic, is the object
aimed at. Among the rank and the the motive is a
rise of wages, and the absolute control of the mines.
Murder is but the means—a mere auxiliary, which,
however, is used unsparingly and unhesitatingly.
" Notice to quit," is almost always served upon the
victim, not in the expectation that he will leave,
but in order to give publicity to their system of ter
rorism.
The Price or Coal.
[From the New York Herald, November 12.]
Speculators in all commodities are the bane of life
in citise. Producers are all at a distance; hundreds
of thousands of consumers are huddled in one mass ;
and, as the great majority of these latter purchase
only from day to day, their necessities, when they
wise, are imperative. Agents to go between the
consumer and the distant producer aro inevitably
necessary, and they just as inevitably abuse their
positions. They make haste to get rich. It is a
very ancient item of knowledge, that he who maketh
haste to be rich will not be just, and the ancient ob
servation is sustained in their ease. Not only are
they not just, but at times they forget all reason,
and, by mutual combination, carry prices to an out
rageous height, regardless of the misery they Cause,
or of what may ensue when popular rage breaks
loose; for it is sufficiently well known that terrible
riots have arisen from these causes, here and else
where.
Just now the trouble is with coal.' Normally, the
price of coal in New York city should range, for the
different seasons, from four to six dollars per ton.
It has now• nearly doubled the highest of these
figures; and as coal is not-scarce, and as the miners
are not overpaid, it is evident that this increase in
price is not a natural one. On the contrary, it is the
mere result:of a combination on the part of certain
capitalists to increase their wealth at the public
cost.
Some days ago a gentleman of this city, not dis.
posed to pay for coal the price charged by dealers
here, wrote to certain persons in one of the Pennsyl
vania coal districts to negotiate for the purchase of
coal at the mines. He received in answer this letter:
WILKICSIILIMIL. Oct. 21, 1863.
"Dann SIR : Your favor of the 20th inst. we have
received. We cannot make arrangements to send
you the coal you refer to, because' the transporta
tion companiee have a complete monopoly of the
different lines to your city. These men will not
allow us to ship coal over their made at fair prices,
THREE, CENTS.
and : consequently we are forced to self them the coal
attheir own figures.. We are now Selling the best
prepared coal, such as y oil would want for family
use, at from, $2 50 to V. e 2% per gross ton, delivered
in the cars or boats. An effort will be mitOe in the
coming winter to regulate rates of freight,. which
may help the coal operatives a little."
Here is a flood of light on the cause of the great
Increase in the price of coal. An article worth two
dollars and fifty cents in Wilkesbarre, Pa., is held
at eleven dollars in New York city, simply as the 24N.
suit of a corrupt combination between those whey
carry it from, one place to the other. The compa
nies alluded to in the letter are apparently the
Laokawana and Bloomsburg, the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western, and the New Jersey Central
railroads,

To Me Editor of The Press
Sin : The Union men of Kent county, held
a large and enthusiastic meeting in the Court House
at this place, yesterday afternoon. Hon. D.S. Dick

neatly conjured the honest Democrats to forsake
party ties, and stand together for their country, and
their flag.
Governor Eebb, Colonel R. S. White, Colonel J.
H. Gibbs, of Tennessee, and other gentlemen, have
been laboring with ua with great effect. Governor
Babb addressed a very large meeting at Milford last
Saturday evening, and made one of the most effec

eloquent man in an earnest cause. He was followed
by Colonel Gibbs, who made a strong appeal to the
men of Delaware to stand up for the Union. The
Colonel was followed by Henry W. Draper, Esq.. of
this place, atter which the crowd dispersed with
cheers for the speakers, for the Union, and for Mr.

" Crests from the Ocean World" is the somewhat
affected title of a i2mo volume, pp. 408, published
by Whittemore, Niles, & Hall, Boston, and written
by _Mr. Alonzo Tripp, a New Englander, who de
scribes himself as "A Traveller and Teacher."
Like Lord Bateman, in the, famous bank], "he put
himself aboard a ship some foreign countries for to
see." He did this in December—never mentioning
the year, which we ascertained to be 1847—and
sailed from New York to Havre, in a French brig.
and reaching France on New Year's day. Mr.
Tripp's book gives a - view. of French life on
shipboard, which contains nothing of novelty
or interest ; a series of notes upon public and
private schools abroad, and an account of the Paris
Revolution of February', 1846, This last portion of
the volume is highly interesting, and, though most
of the incidents are not new, the whole narrative,
by a keen-witted and very observant looker-on, is,
attractive and certainly very reliable. The occa
sional disruptions of Paris, Brussels, and London,
kackneyed as the subject is, are also worth perusal.
Mr. Tripp was living in Paris, making ample use of
his eyes and ears, for six weeks before the Revolu
tion of February broke out. He carefully watched
the progress of events,—perceiving; as all but Louis
Philippe and hie friends did perceive, that a tempest
was about breaking which would shatter the Or
leans dynasty. His personal sketches of Louis
Philippe, the Duchess of Orleane, and the docifi
,
naive Guizot are well drawn, and his narrative of
events is full, rapid, and vigorous. Elsewhere, he
runs into what is called' line writing," but avoids
stilted sentences when treating of the great subject.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Ruth, then American
Minister in Paris, he had a seat in the Chamber of
Deputies on the 23d February, and heard Guizot,
then Prime Minister, announce that the King was
even then trying to form anew Cabinet He quitted
Paris on the day of the Revolution, and thus missed
a chance of witnessing that great event. Upon the
whole, the reader will find a great deal of valuable
information, agreeably conveyed, in this volume.
The author, formerly a schoolmaster, is now a public
Lecturer, of some note, chiefly in New England, as
yet.
Mr. F. Leypoldt, Ins Chestnut street, whose ex
cellent "Foreign Library" we have repeatedly no.
tired, has lately added several volumes to his Stan
dard'Educational Series, "viz: "Landmarks of
History," by Miss Yonge, author of the popular
fiction, "The heir of Redclyffe," which will consist
of three volumes, of which the first, now published
from the fifth London edition, gives Ancient Histo
ry from the earliest times, to the Mahometan Con.
quest, revised and enlarged by Edith L. Chase, who
has huself used the work in teaching ; next, by
Madame Caroline Corson, a small volume of French
dialogues, entitled "Soirees Litteraires, °miseries
de Salon." The subjects discussed at the -Hetet
d'Avr arches, are current French 'literature, and the
authors now moat in vogue. A rapid view of ma
dern French literature is thus presented, and an ap
pendix gives explanations of the French idioms
used. The fair author is truly successful in this at
tempt to produce a work which will assist students
in attaining a kndwledge of spoken French lan.
guage.
Avery striking tale, by Jacques Parchst, entitled
" Trois Moia sous la Niege ; journal d'un jeune,
habitant der Jura," has also been published by Mr.
Leypoldt. This "Three Months in the Snow," is
intensely interesting, but not at all in the ordinary
French sensational manner.—" The Art Principle,
and its Application to the Teaching of Music," by
Anne Jackson, has one great merit—it is happily
very brief.
