Tlie Next Governor.
Mr- RafTerty, in his paper of the 22d ult. had a
long communication, prefaced with some nice and
patriotic editorial remarks, upon the subject of
"who shall be our next Governor." The writer of
ihe Communication goes in strong for the Hon.
Thomas S. Bell, President of the 15th Judicial
District, said after urging him upon the democracy
of the State with considerable plausibility, sums
up his claims and qualifications, for the Governor
ship, in Ki ms of the highest eulogy. Mr. Rafler
ty, more -cautious than his correspondent, and un
willing to commit himself, admits the claims of
Judge Bell, but creeps off from his support, by
expressing his determination to adhere to the reg
ular nominee of the party.
We commend the caution of our neighbour, and
iiope he will ever keep a sharp look out to wind
ward, whilst traversing the slippery paths of loco
focoism. There is no reason at all, that we can
see, for his going in blind to the support of Judge
Bell, or any body else. He will no doubt wait
until he can ascertain, with a probable degree of
certainty, who will be the successful candidate
before the Convention, and then run up his name
at the head of the "Democrat," and support his
pretentions with his accustomed ability. This at
least is the practice of many of his brethren of the
loco foco press, and as all the men who will be
proposed for the distinguished station of Governor,
will of course be "food and true," why should he
not do the same!
But in this same business of Governor making,
our neighbour exposes an amazing deal of ignor
ance. How comes it that his party friends have
kept him so long in the dark, or why has his own
char foresight into matters not told him that
which nearly every third rate politician in the
State has known for months, viz: "that Henry A.
Muhlenberg, of Berks county, will be the next loco
foco candidate for Governor!" We can account
for it only, by supposing that he has been so busi
ly engaged in noticing other important matters,
which have been presented to him lately for his
consideration, that he was compelled to oveilook
State affairs. If that is the true state of the case,
he will no doubt feel himself very much indebted
to us for setting him on the "right track," especial
ly as he knows we can have no personal interest
in the matter. Henry A. Muhlenberg will be the
next loco foco candidate for Governor. That is
as immovably settled as the laws of the Medes
and Persians. The Grand Sachems o f the party
have decreed it, and nothing will prevent it ex
cept the death of Mr. Muhlenberg. It is folly
therefore for our neighbour, or any body else, to
waste time or thought about the matter.
The Mutiny.
As we stated in our last, the Board of Inquiry,
into the alledged mutinv on board the Brig of War
Sumers, met on Wednesday last in the State
room of the U. S. Ship of the line, North Car
olina, now lying at Brooklyn, New York. The
rase will undergo a full investigation, and then
all the particulars will be made known. At
our latest accounts, Capt. McKenzie had suh
iniited his statements of the facts of the mutiny,
which we have already'ptiblished the substance
of.
A Judicial Decision.
At an adjourned Court for Berks County,
held at Reading on the 20th of December last,
in a case (instituted under an act of Assembly,
passed the 12th of March, 1842) against the
Farmers' Bank of Reading, for not redeeming
its notes in gold and silver, Judge Banks de
cided, 1st. That a Bank is not bound to pay gold
and silver for its mites to an individual who is
indebted to it. It having a right of set-off as
well as individual.
2d. That a Bank who accepted of the provi
sions of the Relief Act of 18U, and issued
notes under it, is not liable to have its charter
forfeited for not paying gokl and silver for its
liabilities.

As Usual No sooner does one of Dr. Leidy's
preparations become popular, in consequence of
its success and efficacy, than it is counterleited or
imitated.
To prevent imposition, Dr. Leidy has now pro
cured moulded bottles for his celebrated Tetter
and Jtch Ointment, with the words "Dr. Leidy's
Tetter and Itch Ointment'' blown in the glass, be
sides containing his written signature on a yellow
label outside'.
DR. LEIDY'S
Teller and Itch Ointment.
has proved more efficacious than any other pre
paration for Tetter, Itch, Dry and Watery Pimples
or Pustules, and diseases of the skin generally.
It has been employed in schools, factories and
on board vessels carrying passengers, where chil
dren, as well as grown persons, contract diseases
of the skin from their contagious nature, with the
most unexampled success; certificates and recom
mendations have been heretofore published from
them, and numerous others might be obtained for
publication, but for tlier objection most persons
have, to having their names published in connec
tion with so disagreeble and loathsome affections.
In no single instance has it ever been known to
fail. h
It has been used upon infants and by persons of
all ages. It is perfectly safe, contains no mercu
ry in its composition, and may be used under all
circumstances. Price 25 cents a bottle.
Prepared on'y, and for sale, Wholesale and Re

WORMS! WORMS!!
JJj3 If parents knew the value and efficacy
of Dr. Leidis Patent Vegetable Worm Tea,
they never would be without it in their families,
as children arc subject at all times to Worms.
Dr. Leidy's Worm Tea is composed of veg
etables altogether, and may be given to chil
dren of all ages. Dire'ctions accompany each
paper or package.
Children suffer much, of times, from so ma"ny
things being given them for worms, without any
effect. Much medicine, given to children, has
a tendency lo destroy their general health,-and
they are more or less deHcale over after.-
To avoid the necessity of giving medicine
unnecessarily when yon are certain your chil
dren have worms give ihein at ffrst Dr. Lei'dy's
Worm Tea. It is all that is necessary.
Reference might be made to se oral hundred
parents in Philadelphia city and county, of the
efficacy of Dr Leidy's Worm Tea. Try it and
you will be con'vniced". J

VICTORY!
Who does not know of am. leidy's BLOOD
PILLS? a component part of which is SAR
SAPARILLA. The reputation of Dr. Leidy's Sarsaparilla
Blood Pills is so well known, that comment
Upon their virtues is almost unnecessary. Suf
fice it to say they possess all ihe
PURGATIVE AND PURIFYING
properties that can be combined in.-the form of
Pills.
NEWSPAPER PUFFING
is unnecessary lo their success.
Their efficacy, in one case, is a sure intro
duction and passport of them lo a thousand.
FIVE YEARS
Employment of them throughout the United
Slates, have made them as they deserve to be
VICTORIOUS!
Whilst ihe Proprietors and Manufacturers of
other Pills, have been endeavoring to humbug
the people in various ways to introduce their
Pills, publishing columns of matter and bol
stering them up by
MADE, FALSE, LYING CERTIFICATES,
and attributing to their Pills the powers of ef
fecting every thing, barely excepting the
RESTORATION OF THE DEAD TO LIFE.
Dr. LEIDY has allowed his Blood Pills to
become known by their effects; thus establish
ing them a character that can never be taken
frbm them, and which is proof incontrovertible
of their qualiliea.
Most other Pills havo gone out of use since
iheir introduction; many have fallen into dis
repute, and some are now altogether unknown;
still a few hangers-on endeavor to gull ihe ig
norant by plausible (though false) reasoning of
the extraordinary powers their Pills possess;
but the public are fully sensible of such impo
sition. . DR. N. B. LEIDY
is a regular Physician and Druggist, atlested
by Doctors Physic, Chapman, Jackson, De
wees, Horner, Gibson, Coxe, Hare, Parrish,
James, Robert, Adtain, L. L. D.; T. L. Biddle,
esq.. Rev. W. II. Dalancy, &c. &c. and well
knows the nature of the ingredients contained
in his BLOOD PILLS, and knows too their
adaptation in all cases where a purgative is re
quired, or for purifying the Blood.
There is no risk or dancer in employing
them, they contain no Mercury they do not
produce inflamaiion of the Bowels-they do not
pioduce disorganization of, nor do they injure
the digestive, functions they do not produce
the Piles they do not product irregularity of
the Bowels, or costiveness, as do other pills;
on the contrary, they will he found to obviate
all the forgoing, besides being efficacious in all
cases where a purgative may be necessary, and
for purifying the Blood and Animal Fluids.
.So many recommendations of them having
been published from lime to time; certificates
from the Notth, South, East and West, editorial
comments on their character, eye. eye. tnal it is
deemed useless to say much more of ihem.
Ample directions, together with recommen
dations from Physicians and others, accompany
each box of pills.
Price 25 cents per box.

FRANCIS'S HIGHLY IMPROVED MANI
FOLD WRITER. By this wonderful invention
a letter and duplicate can be written in one n'penx
tioii with mere ease and greater facility than a
single letter with an ordinary pen and ink.
-To the mercantile, professional and travelling
pait of the community this truly great invention is"
of infinite value as it is a great saving of ti.mk,
trouble and expense. The principal advantage
to be derived from the manifold wiiter is, that i
copy of any document may be kept without any
additional trouble to the writer, and" without any
necessity of using either an inkstand or a pmi.
The instrument used for writing is an aate point,
consequently it never wears by use. For banks,
insurance offices, merchants, men of fTusiness gen
erally, lawyers: postmasters, editors, reporters,
public officers, and all who may be desirous of
preserving copies of their lettsrs, documents,
with an immense saving of time and the satisfac
tion of having an exact copy df what they hae
written, this will be found invaluable
The following is" from the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Chemicals, appointed by the managers
of the American Institute, at their late Fair :
" The judges appointed by the Managers of the
Fair of the American Institute, hekTat Nibio's
Garden, October, 1811, report, that we have ex
amined into the merits of Frances's Manifold Wri
teF, and find it to be a very ingenious and useful
contrivance, by which two or more letters, or oth
er documents, may be written at once. The ink
used is not in a liquid state, but consists of a com
position applied to sheets of paper: The nature
of tin's composition is such that it is not liable to
change color by exposure to the air or moisture;
nor is it easily removed from paper by chemical
agents.
"The principal advantage to be derived fiom a
use of the Manifold Writer is, that a copy of any
document may be kept without any additional
trouble to the writer, and without the necessity of
using either an inkstand or a pen. . It is stated
that a copy-right is secured. We consider Mr.
Frances descrvir'g a reward from (he Institute.
(Signed) JAS. R. CHITON, M. D. Ch'n.

Francis's Manifold Writer has now been in suc
cessful operation two years, during which time"
the ptoprietor has had the pleasure of receiving
the unfeigned approbation of all whoso observa
tion it has" come under. At the late fair of the
American Institute the merits of the article were
examined into by three of the most able chemists
in the country, who pronounced it to be a' very in
genious and useful contrivance, and no! liable to
change color by exposure to air, moisture, or
chemical agents. Consequently a metal was
awarded by the Institute
The proprietor has lately made great improve
