opposed ihe plan of distribution. There was
none which said that the receipts from land
sales should be placed in the Treasury.
Mr. Clay said he should show, from the
President down to the Senator from New York,
that the friends of the present administration
were averse to the revenue from lands ; but
first he should say something of the origin of
The land bill. The measure was thrust upon
him in order to embarrass him. He was placed
on the committee of manufacturers, and con
trary to all parlimentary usage, he was com
pelled to consider the subject. A bill was re
ported in favor of Distribution. It passed both
houses of Congress, and would have been the
law of . the laud if it had been vetoed, as it
would have if General Jackson had returned it
to Congress.
. General Jackson's Message of 1832 said di
rectly, that the time had come when revenue
from the sale of lands should cease. In the
next year's message, and an ominous message
it was,- - a different policy was broached, lte
pnrts of Administration Senators were read,
showing that customs and lands were to be re
lied upon for the support of the government.
Documents were read to prove this, beginning
with the message of J 832, ai.d coming down to
Mr. Calhoun's bill, proposing to cede away the
lauds to the new Slates.
Reports from Senators, friends to Jackson,
were read alonji down to the time that Gen.
Jackson changed his policy in regard to the
lands. Mr. Kane, of Illinois, a Senator from
Missouri (Mr. Benton) wer quoted to prove
this both of those, as friends of the Adminis
tration of General Jackson, declared that there
should be no revenue from lands, but that the
. customs should be relied upon for the support
of the General Government. The Senator
from New York did not escape, for although
that Senator had not committed himself by ar
gument, he had done so by his Report to the
present Congress in favor of Graduation.
The Cession principle of Mr. Calhoun was
next considered, and opposed for reasons of in
equality and injustice. It was shown too that
there was no principle which would operate in
favor of giving away 35 per cent, that did not
operate in favour of giving away 50 per cent,
and 100 percent. Cession was no more than
Distribution; and again if the nine new States
had the 165 millions of acres of land within
their geographical lines, the State to be ad
mitted into the Union would necessarily have
to be treated in the same way. The monstrous
inequality of Cession was pointed out at length
and illustrated briefly in the case of Ohio.
Mr. Allen was called up during this discus
sion, and disavowed his friendship for Cession,
except as in reference to Distribution.
Mr. Clay did not spare Mr. Allen for this
confession, but following out his remarks, he
showed that if the Senator from Ohio preferred
Cession to Distribution, he cared very little for
the interests of his State. Ohio got nothing in
lhe one case, and every thing in the other.
Mr. Clay continued until half past three, when
he said he had but got into the threshold of the
subject.
An adjournment was moved, and the remain
der of the speech will come to-morrow. It
promises to be the crowning effort of all his
speeches, and the argument no man can answer.
To show the difference between Raw Corn and
Corn Meal cooked, as food for Hogs. Some two
years ago, while 1 was confined to the firesides
by a cold, I amused myself with several exper
iineuts to find the increase by weight of corn,
jye, shorts. &c. by boiling and cooking, with a
tv.iew :o economising hog food. I soon became
convinced that wonderful effects might beeasi
3y produced; and though I then made a regular
jecord of wnat I did, strange to tell, I have nev
er lilfl lately attempted to put my theory in prac
tice. I have had since the first of December
2ii atiual experiment going on between raw corn
and metl made into good thick mush two pigs
of about one hundred weight each, have been
earing seven lbs. each of raw corn per twenty
four hour; and two others of near the same size,
have hnd exactly seven lbs. of meal made into
good mush between them. This seven pounds
of meal cooked into a state of good stiff mush,
weighs from twenty-eight to thirty-three pounds.
I weighed my pigs accurately at beginning, and
weighed again two days since to mark the pro
gress. I lie two eating fourteen pounds of corn
per day, had increased seventeen pounds in six
teen days. The two eating seven pounds of
. . i i
cooked meal per day, Had increased twenty-lour
lbs. in the same time. Mere is a saving of one
half the com. I shall carry them on till lhe
first of January, when I shall kill them. Am.

Aw Apology.
When John Clerk (Lord Eldon) was at lhe
bar. he was remarked for the sang froid with
which he treated the judges. On one occasion,
a junior counsel, on hearing their lordships give
judgment against his client, exclaimed that "he
was surprised at such a decision!" This was
construed into contempt of court, and he was
ordered to attend at the bar the next morning.
Fearful of the consequences, he consulted his
friend John Clerk, who told him to be perfectly
at case, for he would avert any unpleasant re
sult. Accordingly when the name of the de
linquent was called, John rose dnd coolly ad
dressed the assembled tribunal: "I am very,
very sorry, my lords, that my young friend has
so far forgot himself as to treat your bench with
disrespect; he is exceedingly penitent, -mid you

TO AVOID DISEASE 'AND ATTAIN
HEALTH IS XOW IN THE POWER
OF EVERY ONE. DR. BENJA
MIN BRANDRETIVS Vege
table Universal Pills,
Introduced into the United Slates, May $, 1823.
There has never been an instance of these cele
brated Vegetable Universal Pills not givisig relief,
and pprseverance in old. obstinate cases, i sure
making a cure, provided nature is not entiielc ex
hausted. They have cured since their introdf:c
tion iiuo this country at least 20,000 twenty Uiau
sand persons of diseast s heretofore always con
sidered incurable. It is only five years since I
opened the first office for the exclusive sale of this
medicine in New York; yet, in that time I have
sold over twelve millions of bores, and have now
eighteen offices for their exclusive sale, at leaat
one in every principal city in the Union, at an ex
pense of near forty thousand dollars per year
And wiih the expenses of advertising, and other
mridentnls, the sum was a little over One Hun
dred and Thirty Thousand Dollars for the year
1839; some idea may he formed how the medic'tie
is appreciated from these facts: they arc indeed
the greatest blessing that ever yet has been be
stowed on man.
I have often found persons desirous to Know
how soon flu's medicine will cure them. It is im
possible to say it altogether depends upon tae
state of the blood and humors. Uue thing may
be lelied upon that if the pills are persevered
with according to the printed direction which ac
companies each box, the cure Will be effected much
sooner than the patient could have expected. The
many lingering chronic diseases we daily see, are
owing either to mercury or bleeding, or to not
havinp been properly purged in ftvers,infiamalionsy
cold, measels, small pox or lying in. It is utterly
impossible for us to attain or keep health without
sound purging. We may fasten up the disorder
by barks and tonics, but if it be in the body, it must
come out before health is enjoyed, and sooner or
later it will break out of itself, worse than ever, if
this method of purifying the body is delayed too
long. No danger can arise from purging wi;h
Brandreth's Pills- It has been proved, beyond
doubt, that these celebrated Pills and the hum in
body are naturally adopted one for the other. Jlythe
use of this Glorious Medicine the contents or hu
mors of the body,- can be entirely evacuated, al
tered, and completely regenerated: and in a man
ner so simple as to give every day ease and pleas
ure. Brandreth's Pills are no less a cure than a pre
ventive of diseases. When we feel dull, pain in
the head, back, or side weary on the least exer
tion It is then we ought to fake a dose of these
Pills. This will always have a good effect, be
cause it is impossible for pain to be in the body
without the presence of those humors which pro
duce if, and it is only by their being forced out
with purging that health can be restored.
All that 1 have been able to ascertain, cither by
experience or from books has confirmed me in the
opinion, that pain, every feeling contrary to health,
is produced when the natural outlets of the body
become incapable of discharging the corrupt hu
mors generafed in the body, as fast as nature re
quires their expulsion. And that to secure health,
we have only to purge ourselves, until health is
restored. A practice which experience has es
tablished, is fully able to produce this result, with
out the possibility of any injurious effects. They
who have adopted this simple plan have secured
ihe bt'st state of health their bodies were capable
of enjoying. The weak have become robust. The
robust have become more so. All mankind would
be ben&fitted by this practice, except physicians;
and they would be bodily, though not profession
ally Let me now recommend two things, never be
bled, and never go to a Druggist for Brandreth's
Pills. The first weakens the principle of life, and
long keeps the blessings of health from the body.
And the last, to purchase a Pill called Hrandreths
of a Druggist, is to insure the purchaser a base
counterfeit, entirely incapable of producing the
beneficial results of the genuine medicine. To in
sure this it must be purchased of the undermen
tioned Agents duly appointed by me, and who
hold a regular certificate of agency, which is re
newed yearly. There is an agent with one of
these certificates in every town in the United
States. Those purchasing at wholesale, must re
