THE CAVSK OF DISEASE.
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 affi cted
would do well, then, to purchase a box or two of
th's invaluable medicine, and give il a fair trial, in

Few have passed thrnuj'i life with a more pure
and Bootless character thin this estimable lady. She
was distinguished by the uniform probity and up
rightness of her conduct, by a Meek and genenui
spirit, and a mi'dneaa of temper which made ber
alike respected and beloved by all who knew her.
Tbe short and painful illness which terminated her
life, revealed in her moreover, what rarely accom
panies the active pursuits of Ihe world, the utmost
firmness and patiennee under scute personal suf
ferings and a deep religion faith, which after sus
taining her through all her earthly trial, shed its
meek and gentle consolation over her dying hour.

TO THE COMMUNITY.
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. In lie

Dr. Harlich's medicine are daily increas ni in
pub'ic f..vor, and waul fun any but a f ir trial to

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.
