Nearly all classes of discai-e, are caused by some obstruction in tbe sytem, which prevent the regu lar and wholesome operation of the animal func tions. This state of the system, is disease, which is manifested in a variety of forma, more or less mal gnant in their chancier. To restore the system to a state of health, then, ii is only necessary to re move the cause of disease, and 'he end ia accom plished. The cause i obstruction somewhere. This can be removed by purgation, which ia ihe only meana that ahouM be resorted to, because, suggested by reason, and by nature. Dr. Harlich's Strength ening and German Aperient Pills, are allowed by I hi thousands who have used them, lo be the beet purgative medicine in existence. Because, they not only remove all obstructions, and purge the sys tern of its impurities, but, because, and which is ex tremely important, atrengihen and give proper tone to the stomach, and produce a healthy action of all the parts. Besides, they are so mild and gentle in their operation, aa to remit r them at all times a per fectly safe and desirable remedy.

THE success which has attended the u of Dr. HnrUch'i German Aperient and Compound ttrengihening Tonic Pills, Is truly as'oni-dtiug. It is no vain boast lo say this medicine has nr .ved bv its happy effects in the cure of a variety of diseasea to which ihe human frame ia liahlo, to be vastly su perior to the msny preparations before the puldc. Many of these preparations are compounded bv in- dividusls who arc positively ignorant of the myste ries of ihe hu nsn system, and more pretenders to medical knowleda-e. Dr. Harlich. however, is cele. braled among the German faculty as a man of ihe highest scientific attainment, and equally distin guished throughout Europe, aa a Buccesaful medical practitioner, spent nvet of the yeare of a useful life in i ho acquisition of such knowledge as might proie beneficial to his fellow creetun. In ihe pills which he inveiite I, and which bear hi' name. Ihe public are asKun d of an article that possesses more than O'llinurv virtues. From the ackuowledued talenla of this inventor, nothing less than a good article could lie expected and the eXiierience of many years has aff rded demonstration of the virtues of his medicine. In Germany and other parts of Eu rope, its r putation is etbl shed. In this country into which it has but len recently introduced, it is rapidly gaining Ihe mini Mihtantial reputation. The num. rous cert fieatea of cures of the most obntinate due -si-si fleeted by the use of Harlich's Pills, which the propri tor is constantly receiving, is roof of the fact. Day after day be nceives new testimonials of their efficacy, and week after week increases the demand for (hem. Thin is not mere assertion t in numerable certificates are open for the Insoeetion of the public, snd the doubts of any who are skeptical, can le removed b) examining ihem at the office ol the proprietor. We take the lilrrty, then, of suggesting lo every family, that they make use of Dr. Harlich's Til's. Iel them keep a supply constantly on band.

Hit ritlri A CANI1AE. HARRISBURG, Sept. 0. TRUTH WILL PREVAIL. Dr. Harlich's medicine are daily increas ni in pub'ic f..vor, and waul fun any but a f ir trial to esubluh their worih. We have a communication iu our colu iiiis bvdty from a p raoii long avricted, wulch la but one of many vouchers lol tuts oiedi- cme .Vpinf ofw Timet. m '. aaoijasgMaiJMi TO THE PL IILJC. In submitting to the pu lie ihe first nu.n'ers rf the "Americsn," It my lie dmed incuml ei.t cmj us as neres a-y and proper to make a few observa tions in relation lo the establishment of this pr. aa, and the course which its conductors int. nd to pn ra sue in iU puMication, The age in which we live has born truly styled iha sga of improvement, which no power on car'h can arrest in its progress. The applioaticn of steam lo the various purposes of ai and tbe more recent discovery of smelt ing iron with anthracite coal, promises to I cnnsyl vania results that cannot be too highly estimated,- The great valley of the Susquehanna is toon des tined to b come the theatre of a new scene of en terprise and industry, which may well excite tho astoni.hment of those who are unscquaintsj with her inexhaustit.le drposites of coil and iron. Her rugged bills and solitary wastes, herelofora deemed woithless, are now eagerly sought after for ihe coal and iron which ibey contain, the most valuable minerals in nature, It has been said that England owes her present power and wealth tnoie to her coal and iron than lo all other causes com bined If so, then Pennsylvania has within ber own borders internal resources and powers of wealtli unsurpsssed by the whole Union. The Shamnkin coal region, connected with ibis place by a raihoad 80 miles in length, which s few yenrs since w a solit .ry wild, untrodden by tho foot of man save Iha solitary hunter in pursuit of game, is now teeming with a busy and industrious population. The town of Whamokin locaUd in lb coal region, a new vi lage containing about ono hundred bouene, has spiung up aa it' by magic, since that period. These improvements which are but a commeive ment of a seiiue of woiks upon a large scale now in proires, recent aa they are, have already given a pew life anJ impetus to this section of our couir- With lhee views and under theae const.ler lions, we, in common with many of our hiosl s teemed fellow cititens, conceived that a well con ducted journal, if properly encouraged, could be) rendered highly serviceable to the community. Tim progre of impioveinent and the rapid increase of population, indeed require that the press should not only keep pace with the spirit of enterprise and in dustry, but aa a pioneer lead the way and stiraulata to exertion tho enterprising and wealthy capitalist. Tho establishment of a new press in thia pi ice has fn quemly lecri spoken of, and was long silica in eonti inplalion whenever a favorable opportunity ahould icur. We believe that period has now ar. rived. Our design is to make the American a per manent and useful jourual, conveying useful ami inter, sting inclination to all classes of reader Conducted with th utmost decorum, its tone and sentiments khall at all tiui.'s be such, that the most scrupulous parent may place it in the hmdaof aof member of bis lamily with perfect impunity. Low scuriilily snd violent personal abuse ahall be care fully excluded from its columns. And while we h dl always be ready and prompt in the expression of our opinions upon matter of public policy, Wo shall alwaya endeavor lo preserve that decorum and extend that courtesy tow ards our coteraporariee and others, that o. e gemlemen has a light to expect from another. To the intt-rccle of ti e farmers and cultivator of Ihe seil, the bone and sinew of our country, who, in su agricultural point of view, form Ihe basis of all trade, commerce and manufactures, we shill dc vote a portion of our columns, aud spread bnfora inem sucn mutter as atiati De both useful Bad u- tertaining. JO the mechanic and all others, we tmst w shall be able to make ihe American an interesting no m.wuciiTu journ il. In politica we ahall, as we have already an nounced, support the senerol and state adminiuir lions. In advocating the re-election f M.T,- Vaw Bcbck and Kichabd M, Job so to tho high alations which they now occurv. and whiz-h they have filled with such distinguished abilities. ; shall confine ourselves to meauros and ih principlea upon which they are grounded. Recrim ination and low personal abuae which ih ,.,.A,r of political warfnie never fails to produce, anJ wnicn we rgr, i io say ia Indulged in to an almost unlimited extent, by the partitan presses of either side, we shall Car. lully avoid, deeming it not only demoralizing to the community and derogatory to the high rharaet.-r of the press, but unwise, im politic and unjust. I o our fearlo-s and patriotic Governor David R. Porter, who has thus far identified himself wilH the true interest of ihe state, and whose wise and) alu a y measures have reeeivrd the aPDrol ation of every honest a. .1 liberal mind, we shall extend oor m.isl cordial euppori.
