JEl'TERSONlAN REPUBLICAN. . A STANDARD NATIONAL JUCAVSINB, . Published Monthly in the City of Ncxo-Yorh by WILLIAM W. SNOWDEN. NUMEROUS engravings in each number. The exalted reputation of this popular maga teine has been so long and so widely established that it may perhaps be deemed by some supere rogatory oh the part of the proprietor to offer a "di rect exposition of its merits and its claims. The Ladies' Companion needs no laudatory puffs to force it into a precarious existence: it has, for a number of years, spoken, for itself, and in a voice which has found a most satisfactory response in the literary taste of the age. Conforming, howev er, to custom, which seems 'to demand a few words occasionally from the proprietor to his pat rons and the public, we will simply and suscinctly enumerate the chief lilies which this standard na tional magazine has to the enormous patronage which it has for so many years enjoyed, and to that regular and uninterrupted advance in the fa vor of the critical, the literary and the refined, which has ever, in a degree peculiar to itself, char ncterized the progress of the work. On the minor meiits of the Ladies' Companion, the mechanical execution, paper, typography, etc., it is needless to dwell. It has ever been the object of the proprietor to place his magazine, even in these points, beyond competition; but in tloing so, he has had no disposition to sacrifice the more important and substantial qualities which ought to distinguish a national and standard peri odical. It is its preeminence in the literary depart mont, upon which is based the principal claimsjof the Ladies'-Companion. To its pages the propri etor boldly refers for proof of the assertion that by none of its numerous rivals and imitators, has. the Companion ever been equalled or even approach ed in its ILaJarary Character. If further proof were needed, the proprietor would point with emotions of pleasure' and pride, to the following list of distinguished names, em bracing the principal regular contributors, whose able pens have exerted so much influence through the pages of this magazine upon the literary taste jf the day. ritOMIXEXT CONTRIBUTORS.

This list, embracing some of the most profound original aod vigorous intellects of the male sex, and the most brilliant, graceful and witty of the fair, cannot easilv be paralelled by any other mag .zine in the country. It affords the surest guaran tee of the determination and the ability of the pro prietor to make the literary character of his work commensurate with Us immense and increasing circulation. I'rom the variety of talent every di versity of taste may expect to be gratified, and ev ery kind ot elegant literature receive a proper at tention. Poetry, tales, .sketches, essays, embody ing the brilliant conceptions, the graceful imagin ings, the original inventions, and the witty or pro found thoughts of the able writers we have enu merated, have and will continue to administer, each in proportion, to the amusement and instruc tion of the readers of the Companion. EDITORS' TABLE. In tliis department is embraced short notices of those occurrences which are deemed of sufficient interest jo demand attention critical remarks up on new books, arid upon the productions of the stage. It will be an object of the proprietor to preserve the reputation, which this department has acquired lor 'sound and unprejudiced decisions THE EMBELLISHMENTS. It may be safely asserted that in this interesting nd striking feature, the Ladies' Companion is yet tmnvahed. It is not merely in the beauty and pefection of the engravings that it excels, but al so iii ii:e character of the subjects which are in variably selected with the greatest care and reflec tion, and with reference to their utility and artisti cal merit, not to the facility and consequent cheap ness "with Avhich they yield themselves to the burin of the engraver. Ever' number is ornamented with steel plates, executed by the first artists, in the most finished manner, expressly for the work! Scriptural engravings are also occasionally pub lished. The reader therefore, for the low price at yrhich the 'Companion" is afforded, in addition to its admirable literary articles, obtains a port folio of elegant steel engravings. THE MONTHLY FASHIONS, make another, and the proprietor thinks, valuable department. Attention is paid as well to the ex cellence and finish of the plate, as to correctness of costume. To the ladies, it furnishes a faithful find beautiful record of the mutations in dress. THE MUSICAL DEPARTMENT, offers an opportunity to the display of taste in the selectipn of pieces, which it may be safely affirm ed, has been always taken advantage of. Most of the popular and valuable songs published under the immediate supervision of a distinguished musical professor, have been given to the world in the pages ofthis magazine. Continued attention will be paid to this department. - Terms and Conditions. The Ladies' Compan jon is published at THREE DOLLARS a year, payable inadvance, or four dollars during the year.

SNOWDEN, ' 109 Fulton Street, New-York. ...... - .- . . JOB .WORK. . YICTORY! Who does not know of mr. leidv's BLOOD FILLS ? a component part of which is SAR SAPARILLA. The reputation of Dr. Lady's Sarsaparilla Blood Pills is so well known, that comment upon thjir virtues is almost unnecessary. Suf fice? it to say they possess all the PURGATIVE AND PURIFYING properties that can be combined in the form of Pills. ' NEWSPAPER PUFFING is unnecessary to their success. Their efficacy, in que case, is a sure intro duction and passport of them to a thousand. . FIVE YEARS 1 Employment of them throughout the United Slates," have made ihom as they deserve to be VICTORIOUS! Whilst the 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 i hem up by MADE, FALSE, LYING CERTIFICATES, and attributing to their Pills the powers of ef fecting every thing, barely excepting the restoration or the dead to life. Dr. LEIDY Jias allowed his Blood Pills to become known by their effects; thus establish ing them a character that can never be talien from them, and which is proof incontrovertible. of their qualities. Most other Pills have gone out of use since their introduction; many have fallen into dis repute, and some are now altogether unknown; still a few hangers-on endeavor to gull the ig norant by plausible (though false) reasoning of the extraordinary powers their Pills possess; but the public are fully sensible of such impo siton. t DR. N. B. LEIDY is a regular Physician and Druggist, attested by Doctors Physic, Chapman, Jackson, De wees, Horner, Gibson, Cose, Hare, Parrish, James, Robert, Adtain, L. L. D.; T. L. Biddle, esq.. Rev. W. H. 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 DAXGER-in employing ihem, they contain no Mercury they do not produce inflamation of the Bowels-they do not pioduce disorganization of, nor do they injure the digestive funciions ihey do not produce the Piles they do not produce irregularity of the Bowels, or costiveness, as do other pills; on the contrary, they will be 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 manv recommendations of them having been published from time to time, certificates from the North, South, East and West, editorial comments on their character, dye. Syc. that 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. They arc prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, at Dr. LEIDY'S Health Emporium, No. 191 North Second Street, b61ow Vine st. (sign the Golden Eagle and Serpents.) Also, sold at F.

As Usual No sooner does one of Dr. Leidy's preparations become popular, in conseouence of its success and efficacy, than it is counterfeited or imitated. To prevent imposition, Dr. Leidv has now nro- cured moulded bottles for his celebrated Tetter and Itch Ointment, with the words "Dr. Leidv's Tetter and Itch Ointment" blown in the glass, be- siaes containing nis written signature on a yellow label outside.

Priesley Peters' Ve getable Pills, and have no hesitation in pronounc ing them the best Antibilious Medicine that we have ever used in our families. We are acquaint ed with several families in this city who give them the preference to all other kinds, on account of their mildness, and at the same time, certainty of action. New-York Examiner. More than ten millions of boxes of these truly valuable Antibilious Pills have been sold in the United States, Canadas, West Indies, Mexico, and Texas, since the first' of January, eighteen hun dred and thirty-five. Hundredsand thousands bless the day they were induced by the persuasion of a friend, to try a Box of Doctor Peters' Pills. They are in use as a Family Medicine, and all who have used them give them the preference to all other kinds, on account of their being a safe, pleasant, and easy aperient being mild in their action at the same time; though, in their operation, producing neither sickness, griping, nor debility. Doct. Jos. Priestley Peters, Dear Sir: I have used your valuable Pills these last four years, in cases of Dyspepsia. Liver Complaint, and Sick Head-ache, -and have found them, in a majority of cases, the most valu able Pills I have ever used. JOHN CASE, M. D.

Sr , -- Oj ihc North American- College off lealth. This extraordinary medicine is founded upon the principle that the human frame is subject to ONLY ONE DISEASE, viss: Corrupt Humors, or in other woids Impurity of the4JIood, and noth ihr save vegetable cleansing, is wanted in order to drive disease of every description from tho bo-. dy. f the channels of our mighty rivers should be come choked up,' would hot the accumulated wa ters find new outlets, or the country be inundated! Just so with the human body; if the natural drains become closed, the accumulated impurities will most assuredly find vent ill. some form of disease, or death will be a certain consequence. WRIGHTS INDIAN VEGETABLE FILLS are eminently calculated for cairying out this GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE, because they are a purgative medicine so justly balanced and withal so natural to the human constitution, that they cannot possibly injure the most delicate; at the same time, if used in such a manner as to produce free evacuations by the bowels, and re peated a few times, it will be absolutely impossi ble for pain or distress-of any kind to continue in the body. A single twenty-five cent box of the above named Indian Vegetable Pills will, in all cases, give relief, sometimes even beyond the power of words to describe, and if persevered in for a short time, there is not a malady in the whole course of human ills that can possibly with stand their astonishing and wonderful influence. WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS are a certain cure for COSTIVENESS, Because they completely cleanse the stomach and bowels from those billious and corrupt humours which paralyse and weaken the digestive organs, and arc the cause of headache, nausea, and sick ness, palpitation of the heart, rheumatic pains in various parts of the body, and many other unplea sant symptoms. In all disordered motions of the Blood, called Intermittent, Remittent, Nervous; Inflammatory, and Putrid FEVERS, Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills will be found a certain remedy; because they cleanse the stom ach and bowels from all bilious humours and pu rify the blood; consequently, as they remove eve ry kind of disease, they are absolutely certain to cure every kind of fever. So, also, when morbid humours are deposited- upon the membrane and muscle, causing those pains, inflammations and swellings, called RHEUMATISM, GOUT, &c, Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills may be relied on as always certain to give relief, and if persevered with, will mostassuredly, and witnout fail, make a perfect cure of the above painful maladies. From three to six of said Indian Vegetable Pills taken every night on going to bed, will, in a short time, completely rid the body from all morbid and corrupt humours; and rheumatism, gout, and pain of every description, will despair, as if by magic. For the same reason, when, from sudden changes of the atmosphere, or any other cause, the perspiration is checked, and those humours which should pass off by the skin, are thrown in wardly, causing headaohe, nausea, and sickness, pain in the bones, watery and inflamed eyes, sore throat, hoarseness, coughs, consumption, rheu matic pains in various parts of the body, and ma ny other symptoms of CATCHING COLD, Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills will invariably give immediate relief. Three or four pills taken at night on going to bed, and repeated a few times will remove all the above unpleasant symptoms, and restore the body to-even sounder health than before. The same may bo said of difficulty of breathing, or ASTHMA. - Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills wilV loosen and carry off by the stomach and bowels those rough and phlegmy humours which stop the air cells ofnhe lungs, and ,are tho cause of the above dreadful complaint. It should also be remembered that WRIGHTS INDIAN VEGETABLE.PILLS are certain to remove pain in tho side, oppression, nausea and sickness, loss of appetite, costiveness, a yellow tinge of the skin and eyes, and every other symp tom of LIVER COMPLAINT. Because they purge from the body those corrupt and stagnant humours, which when deposited on the liver, are the cause of the above dangerous complaint They are alo to prevent APOPLEXY AND SUDDEN DEATH, Because they carry off those humors which, ob structing the circulation, are the csuse of a rush, or determination of blood -to the head; giddiness, especially on turning suddenly round, blindness, drowsiness, loss of memory, inflamation of the l)rain, insanity, and' all disorders of the mind.

NOTICE Or those who arc about to fonild or repair. The umdersigned respectfully informs the public that he is duly authorised to sell the Right of the Johnson Re-acting Water wheel, to the counties of Monroe and Pike, patented the 22d day of June, A. D. 1840. The Johnson re-acting wheel is the best now in use to propel a saw mill; it excels any other wheel in the United States under a low water head; under a head from 5 to 7 feel is suffi cient to cut from 2 to 3000 feet in twelve hours of inch or any other boards with ease. Tho wheels require, under a 7 foot head, 140 inches of water and so in proportion to any other head. Under a 7 foot head, the Saw will make from 200 to 250 strokes per minute. The advan tage which those wheels have over any other wheels is, that it requires but four posts to make the floom or bulk head; the wheels are hung on the crank shaft. Two wheels are what is re quired for a Saw mill, and the posts planked in side the same as a pen.stock. I have built ouo of those mills this season, on the Rearing Brook, in Luzerne county, for Mr. S. P. Tem plin, under about a 7 foot head, which will cut from 3 to 4000 in twelve hours of inch boards; therefore, 1 can recommend them as the beit wheels now in operation. There are several more mills in that part, all under low hend-j, which answers life same purpose as that of Mr. Templins' For further information, please call on the subscriber. FERDINAND DUTOT.

The proprietor has never known an instance where they did not give perfect satisfaction. Over 3,000 persons have given their names with in the last year as' a reference of the wonderful virtues of these Cough Lozenges. They cure all recent cases in a few hours, seldom requiring more than one day to entirely eradicate the most dis tressing ones. Mr. James W.

The Lo zenges made him raise easy, and enabled him to sleep well all night. He had tried every thing ho heard of, and nothing else afforded tho least relief a nother instance of saving a fellow being from an untimely grave. The Rev. Darius Anthony, ofthe Oneida Con ference, was given up as incurable, believed to bo on the verge ofthe grave from consumption, with out the hope of relief, till he tried these Lozenges They relieved him immediately, and in a few weeks restored him to health, so that he could re sume his duties as a minister of tho gospel. He recommends them to all who aro consumptive or have any derangement of their lungs, as the great est medicine in the known world.
