From the Weekly Pilot.
ie Artifices of a lcsperate Dema
We would call the attention of the public to
i following correspondence. Those who
ire read the Globe, will have noticed that
.at paper has been, from day to day, copying
.ctracts of violent political articles, abusive of
en. Harrison, from one of the papers of Illinois,
unongother charges, it was asserted, that Gen.
farrison had written a confidential letter in
:nded to conciliate the Abolitionists of that
tate. The local disputations growing out of
'lis controversy, has suggested to some of Mr.
an Buren's partisans the importance of giving
tin an opportunity to prepare a letter suited to
tat meridian. Hence they have addressed
:m a series of interrogatories sp framed as to
:iable him to make responses to catch the pop-
l.ir semiment; but much as his partisans have
ieclaimed against General Harrison's silence,
1 1 carefully as the interrogatories are framed,
i that they can draw from him is that he will
ply in "full season for ike object tliat they have
i view." That is, if he finds it his interest to
-ud them a letter, just on the eve of the elec-
n, he will do it, inasmuch as the object of
.'se interrogatories is to advance his political
i trcst. But he avails himself of this occasion
. ndorse the statement of the Globe, thatthere
ts a spurious copy of Holland's Life of Van
iren circulated in Illinois, carefully avoiding,
r the present, at least, all answers to the in
;. rogatories themselves. Who could have be-
, -ved that the high office of President of the
.lited States, would ever have been so degra
i 1? We do not hesitate to say that no spurious
pyof Holland's Life has been published. And
. assert this, because the genuine copy proves
that any opponent could wish to prove;
ice no one but a partisan of Mr. Van Buren,
ld ask for any other edition. Tlio follow-
iis the correspondence referred to:
Danville, Ill's. May 23, 1840.
Mr. Van Buren, President U. States:

AN AMERICAN SUMMER,
The Weather and its effects. One day we have
90 degrees of heat in the shade; the next 50. Thus,
one day the perspiration is streaming from every
pore ; the next day all are nearly closed. Even
those who have a healthy disposition of body, are
suoject io sieKness unaer tnese circumstances.
Therefore to prevent any danger, we ought care
fully to guard against a COSTIVE STATE OF
OUH BOWELS. Once or twice they must be
evacuated in 21 hours.' If this is not effected
naturally, medicine must be resorted to BRAN
DRETH'S PILLS must be taken : then there will
be no danger. Do not think that even a daily use
of these Pills will weaken or debilitate 1 They do
not. On the contrary, the functions of the stomach
are restored, the bowels cleansed and strengthen
ed; the appetite and digestion improved. And
common sense tells us we are better able to with
stand continued heat, or sudden changes than we
should be, were we oppressed by a load of impure
humors in tbe blood, always the occasion of every
variety of disorder. Often a sudden dysentery
occurs. Should there be a cause for this, and it
does not take place, then, the blood is made the
receiver of those humors, which should have been
discharged by the bowels. Under "these circum
stances, which may be known by exceeding drow
siness, and great fatigue on the least exertion,
vegetable purging must be immediately and ener
getically practised, or these humors, form a lining
or deposite in the blood vessels which may pro
duce epilepsy, apoplexy, consumption, &c &c.
It must be, however, borne in mind that even in
dysentery and disorders of the bowels, that BRAN
DETH'S PILLS are indispensable. They re
move those peceant humors which produce these
affections, before they have time to produce gan
grene or any other fatal effect.
Sometimes the blood is so loaded with humors
that it becomes in a fermentation, being that state
ofthe body called fever, which is nothing more
than an effort of nature to throw off all offending
matters. This is, in fact, a call upon Reason, to
assist the natural functions with purging medicine,
which, if properly answered, will soon evacuate
the3e foul humors, and restore the body to a state
of perfect health.
It is at all times easier to prevent than to cure
disease, because by taking a preventive couse we
do not debilitate the natural functions of the body,
but rather strengthen and assist them. The pe
culiar action of
Brandretlfo Vegetable Universal Pills,
is to cleanse the blood from all impurijies, remove
every cause of pain or weakness, and
PRESERVE THE CONSTITUTION
in such a state of health and vigor so that casual
changes cannot effect it.
DR. BRANDRETH'S Principal Office for
the sale of his Pills, is 241, Baoadvvay, oppo
site the Park, New-York.

A iew Weekly Paper, to be -published at Strouds-
;
burg, Monroe County, Pa., and-Alujonl?
Pike County, Pa., simultancaush , tv
'The whole art of Government c6n3isttirVnhe
of being honest'.? Jefferson. J?
THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
in principle, tvill be all its title purports, the" firm
and unwavering advocate of the principles; and
doctrines of the democratic party, delniwueu by
the illustrious Jkt ferson : the right of the peo
ple to think, to speak, and to act, independent-
y, on all subjects, holding themselves respon
sible to no power for the free exercise, of this
right, but their God, their Country, and hor
Laws, which they themselves have created'. ;
A free and untrammeled Press, conducted m a
spirit worthy of oar institutions, is apublial51es;
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
lesigned to make the paper now estab
lished, and as such, the publisher calls up
the enlightened citizens of Monroe and Pik to
aid. him in this laudable enterprise. The tima
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, to remove those barriers whioh section
al prejudices, parly spirit, and party animosity
have reared to mar the social relations of men
without accomplishing any paramount cood.
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 condem i
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 ho
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
ments of our hearts in the choice of our public
servants ; that honesty, fidelity, and capability,
are the only true tests of merit; that all men
are created equal, and, therefore, should alike
enjoy the privileges conferred on them by the
Constitution without being subject to proscrip.
tion, or coerced bv the influence of partv. . ,
Tfifl columns of the JEFFERSONIAN
REPUBLICAN will ever be open to the'Tree
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
of freemen are denied the privilege of declar
ing their sentiments through the medium of the
Press, because they differ from the majority.
The JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
will ever take a lively interest in the affairs of
Monroe and Pike, and of the Senatorial and
Congressional Districts with which, they aro
connected.
The Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic,
and the Laborer, will each find a friend in the
columns of the JEFFERSONIAN REPUB
LICAN. Due care will be taken to furnish its
readers with the latest Foreign and Domestic
News, and such Miscellaneous reading as will
be both interesting and instructive. In short it
is designed to make the paper worthy of anex
tensive patronage, both from the strictly moral
tone which it will ever possess, and the efforts
of the editor to make it a good and useful
Family Newspaper.
The JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
will be printed on a super-royal sheet of good
quality, and with good type. , t
Terms $2 in advance ; $2,25 at the end of
six months, and $2,50 if not paid beforo the ox
