Are they not aware that all physicians treat die eases of every denomination, to fact solicit just the very diseases that are so obnoxious to these very relined parties. I suppose they would not let one of their family go to a party that has de vottal years for their benefit, because he adverti ses the fact, and their family physician' says he is a humbug eo he can get the case. Often he has almost deprived the party of his life. He comes at last to the physician that advertises—how else I are theLt r o u know I Are the not aware that Sir Ike per,Bir Benjamin Brodie, Sir Charles Ball and . Paul Ricord devoted years in the treatment tit these diseases 1 These men are held up as shining lights in the medical world ; I don't assert that all men are worthy that publish, still there are a great number of them that are. l ' have devoted myself to the study and treatment of PI3.IVATH l_hsaasite upwards of 40 years, and without egotism can say I have saved hundreds from years of misery and untimely death. My treatment is connned to the vegetable altogether, as I think it is the best and most certain. It ill in my power to bring hundreds of certificates if 1 thought it necessary to certify to my general suc cess : but my long residence in this, citrie suffi cient proof without adding more. Sperinstorrhea and all diseases arising front it' are cured in a much shorter time than heretofore. It behooves every young man and woman to be careful is se lecting a physician. The different advertisements that are seen in our papers are of no Worth, and no benefit will arise from answers than only loss of health and money. Hundreds are cured annu ally by my new remedies.

From the hiational Intelligencer. THE EMANCIPATION PROC- LAMATION A Historical Enigma In the course of a discussion that was had in the House of Representatives on the 25th ultimo, Mr. Mallory, of Ken tucky, expressed the .opinion that the whole theory of the Administration in the conduct of the War had ,logen chang ed by the preliminary. proclamation of emancipation issued by -Mr. :Lincoln on, the 2Zith of September, 1862; and .he fur.,, ther intimated _a- bella .that( lit. was the• "pressure" of certain Rep.alffican Gov ernors, assembled in cOnVezitfon at Al toona, Pennsylva=nia, which,_in connec tion with i other infuences tending to the same end; had caused the president to abandon his original policy in thiS matter. Lt'vras in the ptesence of this atlemont that My. gottcrell, of Massa . 1• l' 'hit setts, , (well known asan:urgent pa. 1 trnn of. the proclamation, and who at the 1 time of ifs pi (fumigation wag hi4ding an 1 important office in the • Treasury De ' partment,) rose in his plidelf, - .; Vie house of Representatives and Made the foLlow ing announcement, which elicited much, curiosity: Mr. Routwell. The gentleman front Kentucky (Mr. Mallory) said) this morn.. ing that the whole policy of the country was changed by the proclamation of the President., I ami be attributed that proc lamation to the meeting: of the Gover nors of certain States at Altoona. • 1 ani. not here to be put upon the witness stand, but ft so happens that I have the means of knawing that the prdelarnidion of b.,e' planter, 1862, was entirely,..independ eat of end antecedent to ad nwefing of the Governors it Altoona. The 'Meeting 01 the Griveithrs had F re° 'cbirtiedion with the. proclamation; - The gentleman from ,Kentucky should remember that prior' to the issuing of that proclamation we had met with hilt fevi successes, and that we - had' endured many rever ses. Lee had battled for four days un der;the fortifications of the, capital, land ha finally crossed the Potomac into .31 - aryland. It was not until.the country put itself on • the stile of justice that it had a right to expect the favor of Milne Providence, or. any of those : successes which have rendered this war glorious .. in the cause of freedom, truth; and ins flee j Mr. Mallory. Will the gentleman state when that convention of. Govern ors assembled at Altoona? Mr. Bout Well. I think it assembled at Altoona previous to the 22d -of Sep tember, but I assert as within my own knowledge that , the issuing ot the proc lamation was determined upon, previous to the meeting at Altoona. Mr. Mallory. Can the gentleman in form me when the lashing of that proc lamation was determined upon? Mr. Boutwell. I Cannot go far in this matter. '1 assert distinctly the fact which is within my own knowledge that the Presidcnt• previous to the fneetiv of the Governors at Altoona had decided in a certain contingency which .hcfppened upon the Wednesday preaeding the 23d September, to issue thelyrOclantation, andtherefore the inference I draw is in contravention of the declaration of the gentleman from Kentucky that that proclamation was the result of the meet ing. of the Governors at Altoona. Mr. Mallory. rWill the gentleman tell us the contingency on the happening of which that proclamation was to be is sued? Mr. BOutwell. I said, Mr. Speaker, when, I mentioned this fact, that I was not to be put upon the stand as a wit ness. I have made a statement as of a fact within my own knowledge, and histo ry will confirm the statement. Mr. Mallory. J.f the gentleman from Massachusetts does, not wish to answer the question or, to state the fact I will not insist. Mr. Boutwelh I have done .nothing more thanthie—to:put my .statement of a fact which I aslert to be . within my own knowledge, against the declaration of the gentlemhn - from Kentucky 'that the proclamation of emancipation; or the monitory proclamation of emancipa tion, was issued in l consequence of the meeting of Governors at Altoona. Mr. Mallory. We know that the President himself stated on the 13th of that month that hediad no idea of issu• ing Such a proclamation, and that he argued against 1131 ming it. I want .to know from the gentleman from :Massa chusetts whether it was hetween,theil3th and 23d, and if so, at what .point„he rweeti these two periods, the' Preildeitt had pteparat the proclamation- and'had determined to. issue; it upon:terrain contingency : I would also like to know what that conti4gpncy was. • Mt. Bontwell. The gentleman from Kenthcky is good at questioning, but I have to keep myself within the position which I stated. Mr. Dawes. Courtesy is an exchang eable commodity. . - Mr. Bontwell, I , trust I shall lose nothing by my courtesy. Mr. Mallory. Of course- , not. I de cline to ask any more questions. We thus have it distinctly stated by Mr. Boutwell, as ti fact within his own personal knowledge) that the President, pi evtou to the date ; of the promulgation of his emancipation edict, had determin ed to issue it upon "a certain contengen cy," and that this particular cmitingen cy., upon which weie suspended; results so momentous ) chapFned on the Wed nesday preceding, , e 22d of September, on which day,the. e' ict was issued. But whstithli "contingency". was, M. Bout well persistently declined to say.: -For, Opr he had refusedito answer . the inter rogatories of Ms. Mallory on the.eubject, the' feillbwing cotTloquy (netted: . , ;.• Mr.' Pendlet-. - Will 'the- gentleman j. allow. me to aSkiiiim - rone question before he passes from the subjettle is now die cussing7 - Mr. 'lltittirell.
