JEFffEJRSON REPUBLICAN. POWER OF IMAGINATION. There once lived a very pious though hypo chondriacal man, who, was a pattern of most of :he nostrums which in these days aro recom mended as " certain cures" of all the diseases which afflict our race, and verily believed in iheir eflicacy though he grew no better by ta king thpm. On a certain occasion being in the city ofFroidence he heard of a famons medi cine, that like the " Matchless Sanative" and "Brandreth's Pills," was astonishing every body with its mighty cures." He hastened to obtain it, and tetuming home in the evening, the lady with whom he boarded to steep it ac cording to directions, (the medicine consisting of root's and herbs,) that he mignt try its ef fects early on the following morning. Accor dingly the kettle was hung oyer, and, after fa suitable time spentin simmering and stirring it it was deposited in the corner and after taking a dose the invalid retired to rest. Before light "lowevcr l. was up and knocking loudly at the 1oor of his landlord and lady, requesting them both to rise, and try the virtues of his new pan ncea, he added, " I heard you both complain of indisposition last evening, and I have no doubt it will do you good." The gentleman u rose and the invalid, with cup and spoon pro psed tiie prescribed dose for both, adding a -mall -quantity of brandy as directed, which having taken they sat down to feel its effects. .Soon h-e thought he felt it working in his stom ach ; in a few minutes more he could per ceive its influence on his whole system and began earnestly to call for his landlady to 10 come and try it too. She soon appeared tnd he began to tell her how this new med- ii 1 1 1 1 it' t uiiririLni". " Why, said he I can feel it to the end f my toes: butcoraoyou must take H:." So saying- he took a cup and 5 s-poed, and was in the act of dipping- i again from the kettle, when the lady exclaimed: What! is that your wonderful medicine" "Certainly!" said he, "you know we steeped it last night." "Yes," said she, "and nftftr vnn went to bed I dourer! it in v bowl, and warmed some water in the kettle. It is my dish water that j you feel to the end of your toes." He j was done up; he looked imploringly J to the man and his wife, and said : tainly will'Jsaid the man "for it is too good a story to be lost; and, beside, it is a fine illustration of the power of j imagination. RATH BUN. Gov. Seward of New York was lately applied to by citizens of Buf falo to parden Benjamin Rathbun, -who had been convicted of Forgery to an extent before unheard of. The Governor declines and gives his rea sons at some length detailing some of the particulars. Ho. says the ex tent of these forgeries is not known, but it is notorious that the nr.mes of thirty-five persons and firms were habitually used as drawers and en dorsers, and that it was impossible for the prisoner himself to distinguish between his genuine genuine and spurious paper, without referring to private marks in his books. It is now well understood that the amount of forged paper remaining unpaid when the prisoner was arrested ex ceeded one and a half million of dol lars. Including what was issued for the various purposes of renewal, post ponement and payment, the whole amount forged must have been twice that sum. Jt is believed that these forgeries surpassed in boldness and perseverance all similar offences in this and every other country. The Pennsylvanian in commenting upon this, very truly remarks that : 'TIiere are also cogent reasons for the refusal in the circumstance of the times, which might also have been urged with great effect. There never was a period in the history of our country when villainy stalked abroad so fearlessly. Embezzlements breaches of trust, fraud and forgery meet us at every turn. Men scarce ly know in whom to repose confi dence', so complete is the demorali zation effectC by the insane thirst for wealth, such a that which actu ated Ha'hbun, and, ins f Par" dons for tho3e already convict.1 the great reqnirement of the day is thV examples of punishment should be multiplied, until the large rogues fill our penitentiaries instead of crowd ing them only with the squalid per petrators of petty larcenies."

The application of the principal of PURGA TION being allowed to be one of the greatest utility in the cure and prevention of disease, it is of the utmost consequence to as certatn what medicine is capable of producing the effect de sired, in the easiest, and at the same time, in the most effectual manner, It has no longer to contend with the blind prejudices of the public ; it is only with those lew who are still determined to be " killed according to rule," like the people of old, " who would have" a " King to reign over them." But, thanks to the circulation of newspapers thanks to the general diffusion of knowledge, which enables nineteen twentieths ol the PEOPLE to read and judge for themselves now wo no longer believe in swallowing that d eadly mineral, Mercury professing to curCj but uuiversallylea ving us in a worse condition after its use. We no louger believe in the absurd notion that Inflamations of any kind can be cured by abstracting our life OUR BLOOD, it is now understood that an Inllamation is a wise ordi nance of Nature a signal that she requires the assistance of purgative medicine to ease her of the oppressive burden, which she proves by the high fever and the strong pulse, is wanted to be removed. In other words, the body calls for a VEGETABLE CLEANSING. Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills require skill in their administration ; the printed direc tions only have to be observed and they des cribe the iust proportion of the dose to the magnitude of the disease to be cured Let all persons read the following opinion of a gentleman who well knows the quality of these Pills : BRANDRETH'S PILLS. This medicine is acknowlesed to be one of the most valuable ever discovered, as a Purifi erofthe Blood and Fluids. It is superior to Sarsaparilla, whether as sudorific or alterative It stands infinitely before all the preparations or combinations of Mercury. Its Purgative powers alone are of incalculable value ; for those Pills may be taken daily, FOR ANY PERIOD, and instead of weakening by the cathartic effect, they add strength, by taking away tiie cause ot weakness, l Here is no I good Mercury does, which these Pills do not .'likewise; but they have none of the miserable effects of that Deadly Specific. The TEETH aie not injured; the BONES and LIMBS are not paralyzed no; but in the stead of these dis tressing symptoms, new life and vigor is ani mate and evident in even movement of the bo dy. BRANDRET'HS" PILLS are indeed a Universal Rfmedy for thev cure opposite dis- j eases: they cure INFLAMMATORY and I CHRONIC RHEUMATISM! They cure DIABETES and STRANGURY! They cure DYSEENTARY and CONSTITUTING AL COSTTVENESS ! They will cure all these apparently opposite diseases, because they Clbanse and Purify the Blood ; provided however, Nature is not beyond all Human As sistance, r or years this medicine has been be .fore the public in the United States; whercv- er it has been introduced, it has superseded all other remedies DR.

OF THE Jclffersonian Republican, A iew Weekly Paper, to be published at Strouds- burs. Monroe County, Pa., and Milford, Pike County, Pa:, simultajicously. ,lThe whole art of Government consists in the art of being honest. Jefferson. THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN in principle, will be all its title purports, the firm and unwavering advocate of the principles and doctrines of the democratic party, delineated by the illustrious Jefferson : the right of the peo ple to think, to speak, and to act, independent ly, on all subjects, holding themselves respon sible to no power for the free exercise of this right, but their God, their Country, and her Laws, which they themselves have created. A free and untrammeled Press, conducted in a spirit worthy of our institutions, is a public bles sing, a safeguard to the Constitution under which we live, and it should be cherished and support ed by every true republican. Such, then, it is designed to make the paper now estab lished, and aa such, the publisher calls up the enlightened citizens of Monroe and Pile to aid him in this laudable enterprise. The time has arrived when the Press should take a bold and faarless stand against the evidently increas ing moral and political degeneracy of the day, and endeavor, by a fair, candid, and honorable course, fo remove those barriers whioh section al prejudices, party spirit, and party animosity have reared to mar the social relations of men without accomplishing any paramount gbod. THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will not seek to lead or follow any faction, or to advocate and support the schemes of any par ticular set of men. It will speak independent ly on all State and National questions, award ing to each that support which its merits may demand, never hesitating, however to condemn such measures; as in the opinion of the editor is justly warranted, holding as a first principle : " The greatest good to the greatest number. Believing that the great principles of democ racy are disregarded by the present Chief Ma gistrate of the Nation, Martin Van Buren, the JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN, will decidedly, but honorably oppose his re-election to the high and responsible station which he now holds. It will firmly oppose the " Independent Trea sury" Scheme, and all other schemes having for their object tbe concentration in the hands of one man, and that man the President of the Nation, all power over the public moneys, a power, which, when combined with that vest ed in him by the Constitution as Commander- in-Chief of the American forces, Military and Naval, together with an enormous official pa tronage, would render him more powerful than the Executive of the British Nation, and in short make our Government, de facto an Elec tive Monarchy. It will ever maintain that the welfare of our Country and the preservation of her Republican Institutions should be the first and only senti mentsof our hearts in the choice of our public servants ; that honesty, fidelity, and capability, are the only true tests ot merit; that all men are created enual. and. therefore, should alike enjoy the privileges conferred on them by the Const tut on w thout bemersub ect to Droscrin- tion. or coerced bv the influence of nartv. The columns of tho JEFFERSONIAN ' : j . - i 'i REPUBLICAN will ever be open to the free discussion of all political questions, believing as we do. that there is no liberty where both sides may not be heard, and where one portion in:? their sentiments through the medium of tho Press, because they differ from the majority. The JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN win ever tase a uveiy interest in me an airs oi Monroe and Pike, and of the Senatorial and 11 . 1 1? ti .1 rf r Congressional Districts with which they are nnnentA The Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic the Laborer, wiU each find a columns ot the J&L l4iitouiNlAi K&rUB- LICAN.
