DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
JOHN BANKS,
Subject to the decision of the State Convention
"We this week hoist the namo of the lion
John Banks as the candidate of our choice for
the Gubernatorial chair. AVe have long been
of the opinion that he is the man best calcula
ted to unite the party in this State, and we have
delayed placing his name at the head of our
columns, only because we wished to consult
our friends, whose sentiments we arc happy to
say accord with our own. John Banks is not
the choice of one section of the State alone; he
is, although now an eastern man, also well
known in the west, and several of the western
papers have declared their preference for him.
His early life was spent among the people of
the west, who honoured him with their confi
dence, and elected him to represent them in
Congress: and since his residence in this sec
lion, he has acquired the friendship and esteem
of all who know him.
The following papers in addition to our own
have declared in his favour. The Whig and
Journal, Northampton; Lehigh Patriot, (Ger
man,) Berks & Schuylkill Journal; Juniata Au
rora; Crawford Statesman, at Meadville; Mer
cer Luminary, at Mercer; Erie Gazette, at Erie;
Western Argus, at Beaver; and Indiana Regis-
te'r, at Indiana.
Our readers will perceive by refering to the
advertisement in another column, that Thomas
.McEIrath, Esq. will offer at public sale, on
Tuesday the 29th of December inst., a number
of building and pasture lots in the Borough of
Stroudsburg. An excellent opportunity will
then be afforded to all who may be desirous of
owning real estate in this beautiful and flourish
ing place.
Almost an Accident.
Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated,
Tobyhan.va, Nov. 28th 1840.
On Wednesday last, a young lady accompa
nied by a small boy 8 years old, went about
half a mile into the woods to bring home some
cattle which had staid out during the night.
They had driven the cattle but a short distance
when they heard a rattling in the brush behind
them, and on turning round beheld to their great
terror a large Buck in full speed after them and
to all appearance determined on making battle.
The parly being unarmed, could of course make
but little defence. The Buck came up, attack
ed the boy and knocked him down witlr his
horns; the girl endeavored to defend the boy
and was in turn knocked down by the Buck,
which immediately fell to goring her. She
with remarkable presence of mind caught hold
of both horns, and in this manner preve'nled
him in some degree from doing her serious'ih
jury. The boy improved this opportunity and
began to pelt him with stones. The " antler'd
monarch1' did not appear W-relisll this fun, and j
the girl relinguishing her hold, he made tracks
again for the forest.
An Old JFasIiioned Snow Storm.
We mention for the information of our read
ers at a distance, that we have, for the last two
days, been visited with a snow storm of great
er severity and longer duration than has marked j On Saturday the 5th inst., by Franklin Star
this section of the Country for a number of i bird. Esq Mr John Buser, and Miss Eliza-
years. Ihc snow commenced tailing auout
three o'clock on Friday afternoon, and contin
ued with little interruption throughout the
night. On Saturday morning, the ground was
covered to the depth of about six or eight in
ches, and the sleigh-bells were heard ringing
merrily in our streets'. But the storm had on
T r It i
ly paused apparently, to commence with great
ter violence. Thus, about eleven o'clock on
Saturday night, the flakes commenced falling, J
uvmj,amCu vmi a iiju .-..,
N. L I torn that time until the present
Ifssnf, Sunday evening, wc have been in the
The o.mid on aievol.-i covered to the depth
of from a fo?1 to eighteen inches, while-in some
places, the snow' has drifted? and "presents huge
piles t.o the depth of iriY feet. To the South
and West, we are informeu the case is still
worse. The rail-roads are complel buried
16 the extent of a long distance at some pC 'uts, j
while the ordinary roads are blocked Up, and j
rendered almost impassible. The river Deli-f
ware throughout Saturday night and Sunday
morning, was lashed imp unusual fury, so thai
the steamboats were tossed about, as if they
had been on a. stormy lake. We fear that wo.-
shall hear of sad tales of suffering on the coast;
while the immense quantity of snow that has
fallen, will, should we now be visited by very
cold weather, not only at once close up our Ca
nals and freeze up the Schuylkill, but also jnake
large quantiiies of ice in the Delaware. We
repeat a hope that our affluent citizens will, at a
moment like the present, remember the neces
sities of the poor. The storm has been so sud
den and so severe in its character, that many
of the indigent must have been altogether un
prepared for it. Pa. Inq.
Ex-Gov. Sliulze.
On motion of Thos. P. Cope, Esq. a vote of
thanks to Gov.Shulze, was adopted by the Elec
toral College of Pennsylvania, in relation to the
manner in which he discharged the duties of
presiding ofliccr whereupon the Ex-Governor
rose and delivered the following neat jind ap
propriate address:
" Gentlemen of the Electoral College:
"Allow mo to detain you, but for a few mo
ments, before our final adjournment, while I ex
press my satisfaction at the successful close of
the dunes assigned to us. 1 ho cause of our
assemblage here, is indeed calculated to warm
the heart of every patriot it is the cause of the
people the consummation of a triumph over
error, and achieved by those who well know
how to appreciate every success obtained in a
struggle for liberty. True it is, that at times,
wo slumber the people are indulgent, and sub
mit to evident wrongs, in expectation of a change,
which may eventuate in the happiness of our
common country. Hut when protracted suiter-
ings are endured without executive relief, the
people step forward in their sovereignty and
call for Reform. This has recently been ex
emplified in a manner, not to be mistaken; and
every patriot must rejoice in the success of a
cause, so glorious to our country, so fraught
with national blessings.
Far be it from us to denounce those who hon
estly differ from us in opinion many worthy
individuals entertain sentiments on political pol
icy, inconsistent with our views. But we feel
assured that before long, those who opposed our
efforts, now so happily consummated by (he ac
tion of this body, will find a cheering recom
pense for all their disappointments, in the re
turn of our country to that happy policy, which
distinguished the administrations of Thomas
Jefferson and his immediate successor.
I" shall only add, my cordial and sincere ex
pression of thanks for the indulgence and re
spect, uniformly extended tome, while presi
ding over your important deliberations, and for
your assistance to one unaccustomed to situa
tions of similar responsibility, and unfamiliar
with their.rules. Permit me to wish each of
you, indhidualiy, a safe and happy return to
the cherished bosom of his family. May suc
cess ever attend our exertions in the glorious
cause of political reform, and all be actuated by
such high and patriotic views, that our country
at large shall feel their benignant influences,
and our children's children reap the blessed re
suits."' Harrison and Tyler; the President
and VicePresident electof the United
! States, were both born and 'raised' in
Charles City County, Virginia, and in
that county nearly all the voters cast
their ballots for them. Gen. Harrison
was born on a plantation then, and
now called Cabinet Point, and it is
a somewhat singular coincidence that
he became the Log Cabin candidate
for the Presidency. John Tjder's
birth place was in the same neighborhood.-
The parents of both were of
the Old "Virginia Stock, and were distinguished-alike
for wealth, patriotism
and public services." The two'coun
ties of Harrison and Tyler, in Virginia,
were named for these gentlemen; and
what may nowseern a curious coinci
dence, are conterminous.
The above facts we learn from the
New York Journal of Commerce.

THE CONSTITUTION.
What is tint wc call the Constitution ? The
constitution is evidently that which constitutes,
and that which constitutes Is the blood. We, there
fore, know that the blood is the constitution, and
that a good or bad constitution is neither more nor
less than a good or bad state of the blood. There is
no person who,, having lost health, does not wish to
have it restored. Use then the proper means. Ex
pel with Purgative Medicine all currupt humors
from the body, and the blessing, Health, will be
the certain result: for all pains or unpleasant feel
ings proceed" from the presence of corrupt or vi
tiated humors, which are the real cause of every
disease, and therefore the only disease to which the
human frame is subject, because they', clog up the
veins and arteries, and prevent the free circulation
of the blood.
Brandrcth's Vegetable Universal Pills cure this
disease: because they remove the corrupt or vi
tiated humors by the stomach and bowels, leaving
the good humors to give life and health to the bo
dy. It is morally impossible that they can fail to
cure, provided Nature is not entiroly exhausted.

oct. 5"oepli Priestly Peters
Celebrated Vegetable Antibilous Pills,
are daily effecting some of the most astonishing
and xcondcrfxd cures that have ever beai knoiun,
the town and country arc filed with their prdtse,
the Pdlace and Poor-house alike echo with their vir
tues in all climates and under all temperatures
they still retain their wonderful virtues.
PETERS' VEGETABLE PILLS.
Breathes there the man who may not be occa
sionally benefited by the use of Peters' Pills
No, assuredly not; for the' human frame, like. any
other structure, will fall into confusion and ruin,
if neglected but, by the aid of medicine judi
ciously applied, it is enabled to preserve a heal
thy and even tone ; and it is the firt of well-tested
public opinion, that Dr. Peters' pills are the me
dicine of medicines in the prevention or cure of
the general diseases which the human tenement
is incidental to.
Do men in robust health require medicine ? Cer
tainly, for the very excess of health begets cer
tain diseases unless duly regulated. If the blood
is suffered to run riot without correcting laxatives,
costiveness, megrin, biles, scurvy, spleen, pimples,
furred tongue, or offensive breath, are the inevita
ble consequences ; for exuberance of health, like
over-rich soil, becomes rank, and prone to the pro
duction of weeds, if rare is not taken to have it
judiciously moderated.
But healthy men have an antipathy to the very
name of medicine!.' And no wonder, for nineteen
twentteths of all the medicines in the world com
mence operations by making the people very sick,
whom it was intended they should make very well;
and thus in most cases the cure is considered rather
worse than the disease. But Dr. Peters' Pills is
the celebrated and particular exception .to this al
most universal rule. In them there is no gripe,
no nausea, no sickness of any kind; nay, they are
absolutely very pleasant to the taste, and rest as
quietly on the stomach as so many confits of green
peas, even when their operations are as sudden and
effective, as if they were as disagreeable and as
sickening as an old fashioned bolus. Thus the
man who uses Peters' Pills, and where is the
man that docs not use them 1 expels headaches,
fevers, blue devils, blotches, pimples, &c. Sic. and
makes his blood course as limpid and as gently
through his veins as a mountain rivulet, without
having put himself to any more inconvenience in
taking the medicine than he would have done in
swallowing so many black currants. . . .
Should ladies take Dr. Peters' Pills 1 Doubt
lessly they should, for they not only assure them,
of health, complacency ol" spirits, and every bod
ily comfort, but through their miraculous agency
in the purification of the blood, speedily remove
eVery thing pertaining to harshness, pimples, or
casual scurvy, from the flesh, animates the eye,
and gives an elasticity and a vigor to the limbs,
and the general cairiage ; and hence, when you
see a lady with a cheek of velvet softness,, a pure
lily and carnation complexion, and an easy & grace
ful bearing, the general inference to be drawn is,
that she is her own physician, and very particular
in the choice of her medicine ; and the especial
one, that she is a patron of Peters' Pills.
Leaving health out of the question, should poets,
novelists, editors, machinists, and men of genius
and science in general, patronise Peters' Pills 1
Unquestionably, for the vigor which they impart
to the frame, exercises a most wholesome influ
ence upon the intellect : and the writer of this
feels justified in. saying, lhat.ahy person about to
carry out an idea, whether of composition or in
vention, will have a more lucid understanding of
his subject, and think better and more to the point
on it, after he has vivified his system by a dose of
from one to four of reters pills- rersons in bu
siness, merchants, store keepers, clerks, specula
tors, &c. will derive great advantage from them
on the same principle; for if the mind is riot buov-
ant, no. man can attend to the usual pursuits of
life with due perspicuity, judgment, and pleasure
and there is nothing in the world, at least that has
been ever discovered, so efficient in brightening
the faculties, and freeing them from participating
in the languor, decay, and imperfectibilty of their
mortal abode as Dr. Peters' pills.
To what may be attributed these singular and
wonderful effects ? Why, to their mysterious and
inevitable action upon the" chyle, and that particu
lar region of the system whence the living fluid is
genorated ; for thus they do not only purify the
blood, but create pure blood, the issue of which is
healthy veins, arteries, and other functions, unob
scured vision, firm and' pulpy flesh, smooth and
clear skin, and the consequent buoyancy of heart,
feeling, and action. In short, whether we take
them as a matter of health, business, feeling, or
personal appearance, there is none of us should
leave our houses without a regular supply of Pe
ters' Pills.
brated pills have been sold in tho United States,
Canada's, Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies,
since January 1835. The cCrtrficates. that have
been presented to the proprietor, exceed 20,000,
upwards of 500 of which are from regular prac
tising physicians who are the most competent
judges of their merits.
TESTIMONIALS.
OPINIONS OF THE REGULAR FACULTY.
Tho following are but a few taken at random,
from a pile of complimentary epistles forwarded
to Dr. Peters by regular physicians, touching the
efficacy of his pills. He feels proud and grate
ful in being able to lay such documents before the
public.

Dear 'Sir, I embrace this opportunity of ex
pressing ibyou my pleasure at the unrivalled suc
cess of youi pills in this section of the country.
It is the general fault of those who vend patent
medicines to say too isauch in their favor ; but in
regard to your pills I am firmly persuaded that
they deserve far more praise than you seem it-'
clined to give them. Six months ago thev weni
scarcely known here, and yet at present there is
no other medicine that can compare wiih them in
popularity. In Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, de
rangement of the Biliary organs, ant! obstinate
constipation of the bowels, I know of no aptrient
more prompt and efficacious; and I have h;td con
siderable experience in all these complaints
I would add that their mildness and certainty of
action render them a safe and efficient purgative
for weekly individuals; and that they may be .giv
en at all times without apprehension of a'ny of
those injurious consequences which so frequently
attend the application of calomel, or blue pill. "On
the whole 1 consider your Vegetable Pills an in

CURING PRACTICE.
The principle of purifying the body by purg
ing with vegetable physic is becoming more and
more understood as the only sensible method by
which sound health can be established. Hun-,
dreds of individuals have become convinced of
this doctrine,-. and are dai'y acknowledging iho
practice to be trie best ever discovered. Now
is the unhealthy season when our budios are
liablqto be affected with disease; and now is
the time the state of the stomach and bowels
should be attended to, because on the healthy
slate of those organs depends the healthy stato
of the general system; and every one will see at
once, if the general health be bad while that re
mains, local disease cannot be cured.
All the medicine that is requisite to restdru
the body to a state of health is Brandrethrs Veg
etable Universal Pills, which have performed
cures upon thousands of helpless and hopeless
persons, after the usual scientific skill of phy
sicians have consoled them with the assurance
that they could do no more. The properties of
these Pills as anti-bilious and aperient medicine
are unrivalled; all who use them recommend
them, their virtues surpass all eulogy, and must
be used to be appreciated. The weak and del
icate will be strengthened by their use, not by
bracing but by removing the cause of weakness,
the gross and corrupt humors of the body.
They require no change in diet or care of any
kind. Plain directions accompany each box,
so that every one is his own competent physi
cian.. Remember, none are genuine sold by
druggists.
