The principles supported by this mei; will be those of ,Xotal 3bstiffence; and in our undertaking. we'.have .the assurance of the countenance and support'of the friends of Temperance in this-borough.

A GENERAL TEE-TOTALLER.—Passing a few days since; in the steamboat Telegraph, between New Bedford., and Nantucket, the subject of temperance was under discussion, when one of the passengers remarked thatir ' we wished to see a thorough going temper ance man, we might, in the person of capt. Phinney, the worthy commander of the boat. On the suggestion, another of, the passen gers inquired of capt., Phimiey, whether he did .not use ardent .spirits, to which he re plied, " I never drank a teaspoonfull of rum, .brandy, gin, or any other ardent liquors, nor of wine, cider, or 'beer ; never chewed to bacco, smoked, or took a pinch of snuff— and 1., never drank either tea or coffee." ":'But," says a. passenger, 44 what , did you drink with your breakfast " Octi,o WA TER,!' was the answer. "..And .what with your 'dinner P' • Cold wator !" And what with your supper ?" " Cold ,water " Well," says he, " but what do• you do .when you • are sick ?" "I never was un well in, my life,",,was the ready and instruct ive reply of; rapt. Phinney and ,we could not - 13ut• reflect how much of human suffer in4. and wo, how ,much_pf the ills flesh is ; heir to, might - be avoided, if people would only adopt, the 4bstailitOWlidbits which , are adapted,to Our condition, and, like captainPhinney, conform: more, nearly, than, they usually do to, the immutable laws - of our phy sical,natures.—Mais.

Why . •111 . it that these-medicines are taken repeatedly by the sick-without. removing the complaint in question? The reason is plain and simple, viz: Because they are composed. chiefly of 'opium and its spiritual pr....parations which acts on the system as. a powerful stimulating anodyne, and by using, repeatedly, the system becomes habituated to its narcotic influence, as of those who are given to intemperance. • This fact has become apparent to thousands. who have experienced the fatal efl'ects of such medicines, .and commenced using Dr. Duncan's Expectorant 'Remedy, Which is entirely free from Opium and all , other poisonous' ingredients, and is used with perfect 'safety'by all under any circumstances.. It immedi ately relieves the distressing cough—strengthens. and invigorates the nervous system, causing the settled contagious Matter to leave its hold from . the lungs 'and be iliseharged from the power of expectoration. Unlesithis is done, the - lungs will soon become con taminated from ,noxious matter, and -ulcerate, and fall a prey to the fatal worm. Consumption. . ; OFFICE.
