V St 1 hoped that tve had doilo with this
individual', and than ho would no longer
disgrace himself in the eyes of the commu
nity by his base truckling and subserviency
to. the Bank Junto 0 Danville. But in this
we were mistaketu It seems ho will not
loam wisdom from the past but is determin
ed to sink himself still lover in the estima
tion of the public, by hia sycophancy. Wo
havo now to. mention an act of his as dis
graceful to him as a man, as it is detcslable
in a public officer. It will bercmembnred
that wc published his notice of tho letting
of the building of tho bridges on the North
Branch Canal, in Junc.and at tho same li'mo
mentioned that wc done os without orders.
A.few days before tho county meeting Mr.
Kownovcr called upon us, and said it was
his intention to have ordered us to havo pub
lished tho notice and wished us to make out
a bill for the same and ho would pay it.
We replied that wo had no objections to
making out a bill and receiving the money;
but we would at .the same tirno tell him that
we had no charge against him as we had
. never had any orders from him to publish
the advertisement. He admitted that he had
not given' orders, but- "that ho intended to'
have done so bt I neglected it. Wo receiv
ed the money and supposed that was an end
of the matter. But what was our surprise
to see in the Danville Inlclliironcer.tho as
sertion that'" When Mr. Kownovcr pre
pared h 13 advertisement for. proposals lo
make repairs &c. he sent a copy of the same
to. tho Pirate for publication." The article
them goes on to saythat wo received the
advertisement and published it in pursuance
of Mr. Kovf-nover and introduces tho bill
which we gavo Mr. K. as p.roof, intending
to convoy the id.ca that they had been au
thorised by him to make the statement.
Feeling indignant at this pitiful attempt of
his and of tho Bankunlo, to throw the im
position upon 113 of having uttered a false
hood, to injure Mr. Kownovcr, wc addres
sed to him the following note
Bloornsburg, Aug. 19, 1839.
Mr. D. yV. Kownovcr,
Sm In the Danvillo Intelligencer, of
the 10th instant, I find the following :
" When Mr. Kownovcr prepared his ad
verusemcnis nr proposals to maicc repairs,
&c. he eent a copy of the same to the Pirate
for publication."
Presuming that tho editor refers to mo in
tho above extract, from the fact of his having
introduced soon afterwards my bill for pub
lishing the same, wlich I made out at your
request, I ask of you to say, whether you
authorised tho publication of tho above
statement, and whether the statement that
you sent the advertisement to me for publi
cation be true; and if so, by whom was it
sent? And, also, whether I did not at tho
time yon offered to pay ino for publishing
the advertisement referred to, distinctly de
claic to you,lhat4I had no charge against you
for the same, as I had never received any
orders for publihins it. An answer is re
quested this evening. I shall be at Mr.
Henry's hotel, with whom you can leave
your answer, or give it me personally.
Yours, . II. WEBB.

ply, and give it as we received it:

you should publish it I have no recollection
of you making the dictation so pointedly as
yon say you did wicn'I offered to pay you

' D. N. KOWNOVER
, In this letter he has tho meanness to en
tirely evade answering our main question,
and attempts to hide himself behind the ex
cuse that' " it was his intention that wo
should have published tho advertisement,"
but he has not, nor ho dare not name any
individual by whom ho sent such orders lo
us. Wc never denied but that ho sent ad
vertisements to Bloornsburg; but wo do de
'jiy that wo wero ever authorised by any per
son to publish it.nor has he in any conversa
tion with us claimed that we had been, and
yet hp will skulk behind his " intentions"
to save his masters and injure us. Wo have
already extended this article farther than
the subject of it Is worthy ; but a sense of
duty to ourselves, has compelled us to say
thus muchj and wo will close by saying,
that we have neither said nor done any
thing with rogard to Mr. Kownovcr, now
nor at any previous liiho, but in defence of
ourselves and our friends, his assertions of
dabbling at him all summer" lo tho con
trary notwithstanding.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITERS.
Within, a few days past we havo seen
several Countctfeit Bills of different denom
inations, 3-5-1 0,mostly on NewYork State
Banks, which have been set afloat by a gang
of desperadoes who have been prowling a-
round this neighborhood. Ono or moro of
them have lately been liberated from the
New York State prison. Tho villains had
belter keep hands off. They arc marked.
THE FLORIDA WAR,
Has again broke out wtlh great violence
on the, part of the. Indians. A- party of

The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.
Tho namo of these pills orcinatcd from tho cir
cumstance of tho medicine being found only in the
ccmctiiries of Persia, This vcgctablo production
being of a peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
lla medicinal qualities and virtues. In half a cen
tury it became an established medicino for the dis
eases of that country. Tho extract of this siniru.
tar production was introduced into some parts of Eu
ropo hi the year 1783, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, where all oth
er medicine lias been used in vain. Early in the
year 17UZ, the extract was combined wnh a certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca, in
tho East Indies, and formed into Pills. Tliu admir
able eircct of this compound upon tho human sys
tem, led physiicans and families into its general
use. Their long established character their univer
sal and healing virtues, the detergent and cleansine
qualities of their specific action upon tho glandular
part ol tho system, aro such as will sustain their re
putation and general uso in tho American Rcpub
lie.
