BALTIMORE LOCK HOSPITAL
R. JOHNSTON,
Physlclnn of this celebrated Institution, has
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant nnd
effectual remedy In the world for nil
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness of the Back or Limbs, Strletnres,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun
tary Discharges, Impotcncy, General Debili
ty, Nervousness, Dyspepsy, Languor, Low
Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of tho Head,
Throat, Nose or Skin, Affections of Liver, Lungs,
Stomach or Bowels these, terrible Disorders
arlbiug from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practices mora fatal to their
victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, &c, impos
sible. l OUNG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely gravo
thousands of young men of the most" exalted
talents nnd brilliant intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or wnked to ccstacy the
living lyre, may coll with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
marriage, nwnro of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procreative Power Impotcncy), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously confide in his honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely unon his skill as a I'll v
blciau. ORGANIC WEAKNESS,
Impotcncy, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Atl'ectiou which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper Indulgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful consciences
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent I Besides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious nnd destructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. The system becomes de
ranged, the Physical aud Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Procreotive Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trilling mouth after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
should apply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose Ife has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has ellected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known j ninny troubled with ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep, groat
nervousness, being alarmed nt sudden sounds,
bashfuliiess, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
linmcdiatelv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses till tlioto who have injurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary i
habits, which ruin both body uud mind, unfitting
them for either business, study, society or mar- 1
riaire.
Til esp. are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by curly habit of youth, viz:
Weakucss of the Back uud Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, &c.
Mentally The fenrrul effects on tho mind
arc much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude. Timidity, &c, arc some of the
evils produced.
liioi'SANDS of persons of all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, uervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough uud symptoms ot consump
tion.
YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac
tice Indulged lu wheu alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or ut school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even wheu
asleep, uud if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply lmmealulcly.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
Bnatclici from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging iu a certain secret
habit. Such persons mi st, before coutemplatiug
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body arc the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage j the prospect
hourly darkens to the view; llio mind becomes
shadowed with despuir and tilled with the melan
choly rejection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided aud imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has Imbibed the seeds of
this puluful disease, it too often happens that uu
ill-timed sense of slianie, or dreud of discovery,
deters liliu from upplving to thoso who, from
education and respectability, cau alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ot
this horrid disease make their uppearauce, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased uose, noctural
pains iu tho head uud limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, uodes on the shin boucs aud arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities,, pro
gresshig with frightful rapidity, till at lust the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the uose full
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to bis dreadful suffering, by sendiug
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
uo traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fart that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the bauds of Iguoraut or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Pol
son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, aud
incapable of curing, keep the unauppv sullerer
month utter month taking tbeir noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of beiug restored
to a renewal ol l.ile Igor and Happiness, In des
pair leave hiiu with ruiucd Health to sigh over
his gulling disappointment-.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from bis extensive practice uud observations iu
the great Hospitals of Euro)ie, and the first in
this country, viz : Eugluud, France, Philadelphia
aud elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy uud effcctuul remedy lu the world
for ull diseases of imprudence.

THE STAR NPANULEO-nANNER.
BY FIUNCIR S. KEY.
II sny can yon boo by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we bailed nt the twilight's
last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes end bright stars through tho
perilous fl'bt,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallant
ly streaming,
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting In
air.
Gave proof through the night that our flag was
still there,
O I say docs that star spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free nnd tho home of the
brave I
On the shore dimly seen through the mist of the
deep,
Where the foe's haughty host lu dead silence
reposes ;
What is that which the breeze o'er the towering
steep
As it tit fully blows, half concealed, half dis
closes !
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first
beam
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream s
'TIs the star-spangled banner, O ! long may it
wave,
O'er the land of the free aud the home of the
brave.
And where Is that band who so vauntingly
swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle's cn fu
sion A home und a country should leave us no morel
Their blood has washed out their foul foot
steps, pollution,
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gleam of the
grave ;
Aud the star-spangled banner In triumph doth
wave,
O'er the land of the free and the homo of the
brave.
O ! thus be It ever when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home nnd the war's deso
lation. Blessed with victory uud peace, may the Heaven
rescued land,
Praise the power that has made and preserved
us a nation !
Then couquer we must when our cause it is Just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust !'
And the star-spangled banner iu triumph shall
wave,
O'er the land of the free and tho home of the
brave.
IIAILCOLl'.vIUIA!
Hail, Columbia, happy land !
Hall, vc heroes heav'n born band,
Who fought aud bled iu freedom's cause.
Who fought aud bled In freedom's cause,
And when the storm of war was gone,
Knjoy'd the peace your valor won,
Let independence be our boast.
Ever niiudful what it cost,
Ever grateful for the prize,
Let its altar reach the skies.
Chobcs Firm, united, let us he,
Rallying round our liberty ;
As a bund of brothers Joined,
Peace and safety wc shall find.
Immortal Patriots, rise once more !
Defend your rights, defend your shores !
Let no rude foe, with impious hand,
Let uo rude foe, nith impious baud,
Invade the shrine where sacred lies,
Of toil and blood the well earu'd prize.
While off'riug pence sincere und Just,
In Heav'n we place a manly trust,
That truth and justice will prevail,
And ev'ry scheme of bondage fail.
Firm, united, cic.
Sound, sound the trumpet of Fame
Let Wasiumotos's great name,
Ring through the world with loud applause,
Ring through the world with loud applause,
Let "every clime to freedom dear,
Listen with a joyful ear.
With equal skill, with godlike power,
He governs iu the fearful hour
Of horrid war, or guides with ease,
The happier times of honest peace.
Finn, united, Ae.
Behold the chief who now commands,
Once more to serve his country stands,
The rock on which the storm will beat,
The rock on which the storm will beat,
But arm'd in virtue linn and strong,
His hopes are fixed on Heav'n and you.
When hopes was sinking in dismay,
Wheu glooms obscured Columbia's day,
His steady mind from changes free,
Resolved on death or Liiifhtt.,
Firm, uultcd, Ac.
A TO A NT FOR THE 4th OF Jl'LY.
God bless the good old thirteen States ;
God bless the young ones too ;
Who cares for musty birthday dates
God bless them C),d und New.
The old oue'B first our freedom gaiu'd
in uiouuy iinh oi yurv ;
The young ones have our rights maintained
As tho old one's did before.
No South, or North, or East, or West,
Twin sisters all they be ;
Oue mother nursed them ut her breast,
And that was Liberty.
And may the wretch whose hand shall strive
To cut their vital thread,
Be scorned while in this world alive,
Aud ucomcd wheu he is dead.
Now fill the bowl with Natures wine,
Let's drink "God save the Kiug,"
The only King by right divine,
Tho Sovcreigu People's Kiug.
For they're the only King I owu,
All others I despise,
The King that towers above the throne,
The King that uever dies. .
O t may that sceptre wide exteud,
O'er every laud and sea.
Without begiuuiug without end,
Aud conquer to set free.

Introduction to tlic Declaration ot
Independence.
In the Cotiijfcss of 1770, tho great ques
tion of American Liberty ciiino first to be
discussed. On tho fth of May, Mr. Adams
ullered u resolution that lite Colonies should
adapt governments adequate to tho wants
of the Country, and independent of (Jreat
Krilain. The success of this resolution ou
the loth was considered as decisive of the
question of allegiance to any foreigu power.
On the 7th of June, lliclmrd Henry Lee,
seconded by Mr. Adams, moved iu Con
gress the evcr-niemorablc resolution of
American Independence. The debate con
tinued until the lUlli, when the considera
tion of the resolution was postponed until
the 1st of July. The next day Thomas
Jeflerson, John Adams, Heujamin Frank
lin, Hoger Sherman aud U. It. Livingston,
were appointed to prepare a draught of a
Declaration of Independence. Tho two
gentlemen first named on this Committee
having been deputed a feub-Coinmittee to
draw up a Declaration, at the desire of Mr.
Adams it was prepared by Mr. Jellerson.
On the 1st of July, the question on the
resolution was again resumed, aud unani
mously agreed to on the second. Mr. Jef
ferson has told us that "the Colossus of
that Congress the great pillar and support
of tho Declaration of Independence, and
its ablest advocate and champion ou the
floor of the House, was John Adams. In
that moment of darkness, of terror, and of
consternation, when the election was to bo
made between an attempt at Liberty nnd
Independence on tho oua hand, and defeat,
subjugation aud death on tho other, the
courage of Adams, in the true spirit of he
roism, rose in proportion to the danger
which pressed around him ; and lie poured
forth that only genuine eloquence, tho elo
quence of the soul, which, m the language
of Mr, Jellerson, "moved his hearers from
their seats." The objections of his adver
saries were seen no longer but iu a slate of
wreck ; floating in broken Iragmeutsou the
billows ol the storm, and over rocks, over
breakers and amid itigulphing whirlpools,
that everywhere- surrounded him, he
brought the gallant ship of the Nation safe
into port." Wirt.
The Declaration already prepared was
taken into consideration on the 4th of
July, 177i a day never to be forgotten
wheu it received the sanction of the whole
Cuugrcss.
DECLARATION of I.DEIEN ECE
IX COXOKF.SS, Jl'LY 4, 1770.
2'lie fnanimou Vednmtion of the Thirteen
United Suites if America.
Wheu, in the course of human events, it
becomes necessary for our people to dissolve
the political bands which have connected
tlieiu with another, and to assume, amoiiiz
tho powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the laws of nature
and of nature's tiod entitle them, a decent
respect for the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal ; that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights ; that among these are
life, liberty, aud the pursuit of happiness.
That, to secure these rights, governments
ate instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the govern
ed ; that, whenever any form of govern
ment becomes destructive to these ends, it
is tho right of the jieoplo to alter or to abol
ish it, and to institute a new government,
laying its foundation on such principles,
and organizing its powers in such form, as
to the in shall seem most likely to etl'ect
their safety and happiuess. l'rudence, in
deed, will dictate, that governments long
established, should not be changed for light
and transient causes ; aud, accordingly, alt
experience hath shown that luaukind are
more disposed to suffer, while evils are
sufterable, than to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which tliev are ac
customed, liut, when a long train of
abuses and usurpations, pursuing iuvuria
bly the same object, evinces a design to re
duce them under absolute despotism, it is
, thsir right, it is their duty, to throw off
such government, and to provido new
guards for their future security. Such has
been tho patient sufferance of theso Colo
nies, and such is now the necessity which
constrains them to alter their former sys
tems of povcrnmcul. Tho history of the
present King of Great Dritnin, is a history
of repeated injuries aud usurpations, all
having, in direct object, tho establishment
of an absolute tyranny over these States.
To provo this, let facts be submitted to a
candid world :
He has refused his assent to Laws the
most wholesome aud necessary for tho pub
lie good.
llo lias forbidden the Governor to pass
laws of immedfate and pressing importance
unless suspended in their operation till his
assent should bo obtained ; and, wheu so
suspended, ho has utterly neglected to at
teud to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for tho
accommodation of largo districts of people,
unless those people would relinquish the
right of representation in tho legislature ;a
right inestimable to them, and formidable
to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies
at places unusual, uncomfortable, and dis
tant from Hi's depository of their public re
cords, for tho solo purpose of fatiguing
them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses
repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firm
ness, his invasions ou the rights of the
people.
lie has refused, for a long time after such
dissolutions, to cause others to be elected ;
whereby tho legislative powers, incapablo
of annihilation, have returned to the people
at largo for their exercise; tho State re
maining, iu the meantime, exposed to nil
the dangers of invasion from without, aud
convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent tho popu
lation of these States ; for that purpose, ob
structing the laws for naturalization of
foreigners ; refusing to pass others to en
courage their migration hither, and raising
tho conditions of new appropriations of
lands.
He has obstructed the administration of
justice, by refusing his asseut to laws es
tablishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependant on his
will alone, for the tenure of their otlices,
and the amount and payment of their sal
aries. Ho has erected a multitude of new ofli
ccs, and sent hither swarms of o Ulcers to
harass our people and eat out their sub
stance. He has kept among us, in time of peace,
standing armies, without the consent of
our legislatures.
He has atlected to render (he military in
dependent of, and superior to tho civil
power.
He has combined with others to subject
us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitu
tion, and acknowledged by our laws ; giv
ing his assent to their acts of pretended
legislation.
i'or quartering largo bodies of armed
troops among us.
I'or protecting them, by a mock trial,
from punishment, for any murders which
they should commit on the inhabitants of
theso States.
For cutting off trade with all parts of tho
world :
Tor imposing taxes on us without our
consent.
For depriving us, in many cases, of the
benelit of trial by jury.
For transporting us beyond seas lo be
tried for pretended offences.
For abolishing the free system of English
laws in a neighboring province, establish
ing therein au arbitrary government, and
enlarging its boundaries so as to rentier it
at once au example aud fit instrument for
introducing the samo absolulo rule into
these colonies :
For taking away our charters, abolishing
our most valuable laws, and altering fund
amentally, the forms of our govcrumeut :
For suspending our own legislatures and
declaring themselves invested with power
to legislate for us iu all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by
declaring us out of his protection, and
waging war against us.
He has plundered our sens, ravaged our
coasts, burnt our towus, aud destroyed the
lines of our people.
He is at this time transporting largo ar
mies of foreign mercenaries, to complete
the works of death, desolation and tytanny
already begun, with circumstances of cru
elty and perfidy, scarcely paralelled in tho
most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy
the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens,
taken captive on the high seas, to bear
arms against their country, to become the
executioners of their friends aud brethren,
or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurtectious
against us, aud has endeavored to brinou
the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merci
less Indian savages, whose known rule of
warfare is an undistinguished destruction
of all ages, sexes and conditions.
lu every stage of theso oppressions wo
have petitioned for retires in tho most
humble terms ; our repeated petitions have
been answered only by repealed injury.
' A prince whose character is thus marked
by every net which may define a tyrant, is
unlit lo be the ruler of a free people.
.Nor have we been wauling in attention
to our jlritish brethren. Wo have warned
them, from time to time, of attempts by
their legislature to exteud au unwatrauta
blo jurisdiction over us. We have remind
ed them of tho circumstances of emigration
and settlement here. Wo have appealed
to their ualive justice nuil magnanimity,
and wo have con jured them, by the ties of
our common kindred to disavow these
usurpations, which would inevitably inter
rupt our connections aud correspondence.
They too have beta deaf to the voice of
justice and of consanguinity. We must
therefore acquiesce in tho necessity which
denounces our xeparation, and hold them
as hold the rest of mankind, enemies ti wur
t'n pence, friojjs.
We, therefore, tho representatives of the
United States of America, in general con
gress assembled, appealing to the Supremo
Judge of the world lor tho rectitude of our
intentions, do in the name ami by tho au
thority of tho good people of these colonies,
solemnly publish und declaro thut theso
Uuited Colonies are, and of right ought to
be, free and independent States ; that they
arc absolved from alt allegiance to the
Uritibh crown, aud that all political con
nection between them and the State of
Great Britain, is, aud ought to be, totally
dissolved ; aud that, as free aud independ
ent States, they have full power to levy
war, couclude peace, conliacl alliances, es
tablish commerce, and to do all other acts
and thiugs which independent States may
of right do. Aud for the support of this
declaration, with a firm reliuuce ou the
protection of Divine 1'rovideuce, we mutu
ally pledge to each other our lives, oi k

On the day succeeding the adoption of
the Declaration of Independence, JOHX
ADAMS, exulting in that glorious event,
addressed a letter to Mrs. Adams, in which,
may be found tho following spirited, patri
otic aud prophetic paragraph :
"Yesterday tho greatest question was
decided that was ever debated iu America;
and greater, perhaps, never was or will be
decided among men. A resolutiou was
passed, without oue dissenting colonv,
'that tlieeo United States are, and of right
ought to be, Free nud Independent States.'

America. I am apt to lielievo IT WILL

We assert in our last issue, that where
Mr. liuckalew is best known, he is least
popular. In proof of this, we now quote
from the "lrmoT''' .Senfiiief," published
at his home, aud by the nieti too, that have
stood by him, and aided him iu stepping
from obscurity to public uoticc. Wokuow.
of what we say, when we declare that ex
tensive dis.spsions arc found in the demo
cracy of old Columbia, and adjoining Coun
ties. In Montour Co., the Intelligencer,
edited by Chalfant, Iras thus far refused lo
reeoguir him as the democratic leader, anil
his support from Republicans will be only
from such as expect to make a gain by his
election. His popularity abroad is owing'
more to tho compliments of such doubtful
Republican p:tn rs as the "I'rexs" which is
simply paying Huckalew a debt of services
reudered, and others that have been beguil
ed by tho exterior mildness of tho bitter
partisan. To the mistaken notion that
Charles R. Huckalew is a '"liberal," we can
say that if tho Republican who votes for
him on this ground should ever come iu
contact with him politically, ho will bo
undeceived. Ho has not an cmotiou, that
could lead him outside of his party. Ho
really belongs to that Hourbonizcd Jiuch
auuatl Democracy that held the ten cent
doctrine aud endeavored to tuake the trai
torous administration of James Huchaunau,
which was powerless to destroy treason,
respectable. If his mild counsels had pre
vailed, the southern confederacy, as well
as the Fishiugcreek, would have been a
success. The name of Lincoln and Grant
would be coupled with infamy, the dead
patriots buried in obloquy, and the living
heroes exiled lo eternal disgrace. Heroic
devotion saved tho uatiou, and sublime
gratitude now pays homage to the true men
that never faltered. Mr. Huckalew was
not among these, nor was he even mill as
has been asserted. He is emineutly selfish
aud ut the shrinu of his nmbitiou would
sacrifice his best friend. Wheu in position
ho fails to remember those who aided him,
us was attested by the accident that
brought him into power through tho detec
tion of the sucoud Arnold, Andrew John
son. He thcu became the dispenser of ad
ministration patronage not only for Penn
sylvania, but the whole North East. He
never remembered a single friend but used
the patronage of the government lo corrupt
weak nud unscrupulous Republicans and
in building himself up. He has ruled the
party iu Columbia county with a tyranny
that has caused many revolts and to day if
they had a leader, they would make their
iniluonco felt. In order to show tho lateut
feeling wo re-produce the editorial announc
ing tho name of their hated cnniny. Wo
give it entirely aud it shows with
what reluctance, they yield to the power
with which they would grapple, if true
manhood fitted the in for tho task.
"We place at the head of our columns this '

he was uot our choice, but since the honor
has been conferred upou him, let us close up '
tho rauks and elect him by a handsome
marity. Mr. Huckalew is a man of con
siderable cxerieuce iu public affairs, and.
has had ample opportunity of making the
party (of which he claims to be a member)
a unit in lus own county, but whether be
has availed himself of this opportunity or
not, does not become us at this time to say.'
