Now all there dange.rn and dilfietilties can he preven

There is no form or kind of sickness that it does not
exert a curative influence upon. Thus, by their pow

The Brandreth Pills are purely vegetab"..e, and so

if medicine is required. not only with safety but with a
certainty of receiving all the benefit medicine is capa

insure their health, and produce regularity in all the
functions of life.
The same may be :aid of firandreth's external
ressedf, as an outward application to all external pains
or swellings, or sores, it greatly assists the cure.
When used where the skin is verb• render or broken,
it should be mixed with one or two pints of water.
A sure test of genuine Brands eth Pals.—Exam
inn the box of Pills. Then look at the certificate of
agency, whose engraved date must be within the year,
which esery authorised agent must possess: if the three
labels on the box agree with the three labels on the cer
tificate, the Pills are true—if not, they are false.

IMPORTANT FACTS
DR. LEIDY'S Sarsaparilla Blood Pills are applical
ble in all cases, whether for Purgatives or Pu
ri . ficati9n, They possess all the boasted virtues of
,nther pills, and are additionally efficacious, oontaining
Sarsaparilla in their composition. which is not cont.ain
ed in any other pills in existence. They are also dif
,ferent from other pills in composition, being purely
vegetable, and qtyn be employed at all times, without
any danger, and requiring no restraint from occupation
or usual course of living.
-As Notwithstanding Dr. Leidy never pretended his
Blood Pills would cure all diseases, vet it is not saying
ton much of them, from the innumerable en re s perform
ed by them in every variety and form of disease (cer
tificates of many of which have been published ti-om
persons of all denominations, physicians, clergymen,
and others) that they seem to be almost universal in
their effect; and persons using them Cot whateCer sick
ness or disease, may rest assured tha t they w ill be found
more efficacious than any other pills in existence.
From the known reputation of Dr. Leidy'; Blood
Pill. it is necessary to remind the public where they
can at all times procure the genuine, as 4113 attempted
to impose other pills, called the 'Blood Pa t ' up on t h e
public on the reputation of Dr. Leidy's. re="Be par

[corrottrnan.]
From the official treasury report of 1840, T give the
table No 6, for the year commencing the Ist of Octoi
her, 1838, and closing on the 30th of September, 1829;
showing our commerce that year with,Texas, and all
the otheenations of the world. This 'shows that ;hi
total of our exports of domestic produce to 'Texas
that year, was $1,379,065, and the total of all our ex•.
ports to Texas that year. $1,687,082; thaethe importit
the same year from Texas were 018,116, leaviag.en
excess in our favor, of exports over imports, of $1,362;
966. Thus the extraordinag fact is exhibited, the
in the very infancy of her existence, the balance Of
trade in our favor with Texas, exceeded that or eaCh
of all the foreign countries of the world—two era, etc:
ccpted; and these two were colonies of an empire, our.
trade to the whole of which presented a balance of
several millions against us. Teas; then, that year;
furnished a larger balance of exports over imports is favor than any other one of the erapires of (ht_
world. The totality of our exports that year to Texas ,
was greater than to either Russia. Prussia, Sweden
and Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Scotland, Ireland;
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sicily, or Chini, St was
greater also than to each of fifty-six of the siMy-sii
enumerated countries of the world. It was greater
also than the aggregate of all our exporti . 4511;
Prussia. Denmark, Italy, Sweden and Norway, Por
tugal, New Grenada. Australia, French Guinen,.Stiv ;
dinia, Morocco and Barbary States, and Pura torn
billed.
By table No. 6, it appears that the exports . of OWN..,
domestic products in 1839 to Texas was--Orthe &hat .
ries $43,426; of the products'or the fen*. $1.157,414;
of the products of agricufture $205,'861t end of Mar
manufactures $929,071. Now, by tableNct,.6 of the
treasury report, the total exports, the same year, of the
products of the fisheries to all the . world, except Tex- .
as, was $1,864,543; and conseqnentlY . the exports of •
the products of the fisheries to Texas, that year,
mounted to about 21 per cent. of thcise exPorts to-all
the rest of the world. The exports of the productepf,
the forest, that year to all, other countries, _except
Texas, by the same table, was $5,607,695; consequent
ly the export of those products, that year, to Trepui, a
mounted to 3 per cent. of those exports to all the rest
of the word. Ile exports of our agricultural products,
(excluding cottan, rice, and tobacco,) that year, to
all other countries, except Texas, (and including mo
lasses,inticcura:ely placed in the table of manufactures,)
was $11,156,051; and conserteently . the exports pf
these products that year to Texas, amounted to more
than 2 per cent. of the agricultural exports that year
to all the rest of the "By the same table_ the
export of nil our rnanufacture4 in . 1339 (exclusive of
gold and silver coinl to all other countries, rixc.ept
Texas, was $3,217 595. Now. the exports of our do-
mestic manufactures, that year, to Texas being $92g.-
071, consequently Texas consumed of our domestic
manufactures, in 1839, an amount largely exeeed•
ing one-fourth, and nearly equat to one-third.ofaur
domestic manufactures eXpoited abroad ander/new
sued that year, byall thereat of the world. Such are
the astounding results established by the official report
of the Secretary of thetreasury, underthe date of.lune
25th.1840, and to be found in•vol. 8 Senate docrunempt
for that year, No 577; Such was our trade with Tex
as the year ending 3Qth September, 1839, before h -
independence was recognized by any other power ex
cept by this republic, and before sbehad entered into
commercial treaty with any other power; and therefore
stood to us in the relation, in mans respects, as regard*
her trade, as a territory of the Union. Now, the treaty
of amity and commercebetween Franca and Texas was
signed at Paris, on the 25th of September, lB39; the
treaty of amity and commerce between olland and
Texas was signed at the Hague qn the kith
of September , 184 0 ; the treaty of commerce
between Great Britain and Texas was signed
at London on the llth of November, 1840; all which
have been long since ratified. Now, let us observe the
effect of our trade with Texas, of her introduction into
the family of nations, by the recognition or her lode:.
pendence by other nations, and treaties of curemeree
with them; thus placing her towards us in the attitude
of a foreign state. The resolution ofii.tred by me in
the Senate of the United States for the repognition pf
the independence of Texas, Was . adopted on the 241 of
M..rch, 1837; and with that year commence the tables
of our exports to Texas as a new empire, inscribed cm
the books of the treasury. These tables, in thetreasute
reports of qur exports to Texas, exhibit the foltowing
result:
Utir export, ti., Texu in 1837 61,007,928
1838 1,246,886
" 1839 1,687,082

"
" 1841 804,2,96
" " 1842 , 406,929
IS
" 1843 190,604
If our exports to Texas bad augmented from 1843.
as they had done from 1837 to 1839, and as they m
have dune with her great increase of" busidese"aistl
population, but for her being placed towardsus. 'Mate
attitude of a foreign state, they would have erpcninted.
in 1843, to $3,047,000, instead of $190,000. 3arJ4
has been the immense reduction in ourexports to Teas
us, created by her recognition by other natioes, teed
commercial treaties with them, since 1839. Bet
great as were our exports to Texas in I 83 R , they rette
by no means as large as if she had then been. pato
of the Union; for she then had, and still has, in foots
tariff un imports, varying on most articles from 10 to
15 per cent., which must have prohibited some of ouy
expgrts there, and diminished otheri. Ourtarifrodett t
did not embrace Texas, and secure to our manufaes
tares almost a monopoly in her supply. Had all these
causes combined, as they would have done, had Tees,
been a state of the Union, our exports there of derma.
tie articles must have reached, in 1843, $7.164,139,
as 1 shall proceed Si, demonstrate: •
