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." '

BRANBRETII'S PIJL1LS.
Cleanse sind Purify tlae Hlooi.
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

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.

would be well, therefore for purchasers carefully
to examine the certificate, the seal of which is neat
