J. A. RHODES. Esq. : Dear Sir As I took
your medicine to sell on consignment, no cure
no pay," 1 take pleasure in stating its enects as
reported to me by three' brothers who live in this
place, and their testimony is a fair specimen of
all 1 have received :
W. S. Cois-Kus told me; " I had taken nine
bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam, and continual
ly run down while using it until my lungs and
liver were Congested to that degree that blood
discharged from mv mouth and bowels, so that
all thought it impossible for me to live through
another chill. The doctors to did all they could
for me. but thoueht I must die. Nothing did me
any good until I got Rhodes' Fever and Ague
Cure which at once relieved me of the distress
and nausea at my stomach and pain in my head
and bowels, and produced a permanent cure in a
short time."
II. M. Cokklix says : " I had been been ta
king medicine of as good a doctor as we have in
our county, and taken any quantity of quinine
and specifics without any good result, from 25th
August to 17th December. But seeing how nice
ly it operated on my brother, I got a bottle of
RHODES' FEVER AND AGUE CURE, which
effected a permanent cure by using two thirds of
a bottle."
S. M. Coxklix was not here, but both the other
brothers say his case was the same as H. M's. I
sold the medicine to both the name day, and the
cure was as speedy from the same small quantity
and I might so specify, Yours with respect.
A. iiUNTlNUTUN.
The above speaks for itself. Good proof as it
is. it is of no better tenor than the vast number
of like certificates I have already published, and
the still greater amount that is continually pour
ing in to me.
One thing more. Last year I had occasion to
Caution the Public in these words :
" notice one firm tcho hare taken one of my
general ciradars, substituted the name of their
nostrum Jor my medicine, and then tenth brazen
impudence end their pamphlet tcith the exclamation,
" Let the proprietor rf any other medicine say as
much if he dares.,f i,-c.
Now I take pleasure in saying that the Cau
tion referred to the same Dr. Christie's Ague
Balsam" that is mentioned in the above cer
tificate. There are several other industrious people who
are applying to their poisonous trash all that I
publish about my fever and Ague Cure, or Anti
dote to Malaria, except the Certificates of Cures,
and the Certificate of the celebrated Chemist Dr.
James R. Chilton of N..Y., in favor of its per
fectly HARMLESS CILARACTER, which is at
tached to every bottle. These will always serve
to distinguish mv medicine from imitations.

F
iOR the last two or three years, I have been
engaged in a business known only to myself,
and, comparatively, a few others, whom I have
instructed for the sum of $200 eaoh, which has
me at the rate of from $3,000 to $5000
per annum ; and having made arrangements to
go to Europe in the month of August next, to
engage in the same business, I am willing to give
full instructtions in the art to any person in tho
United States or Canadas, who will remit me the
sum of SI. I am induced, from the success I
have been favored with, and the many thankful
acknowledgments I have received from those
whom I have instructed, and who are making
from $5 to $15 per day at it, to every person an
oppotunity to engage in this business, which, is
eay, pleasant, and very profitable, at a small cost.
There is positively No Humbug in the matter;
References of the best class can be given as re-
Villi t l.Wb.l , M... A V. Lb 1. w J ' V K 111
whom I have instructed, who will testify that
they are making from $5 to $15 per day at the
same. It is a business m which either .LAU11l.
or GENTLEMEN can engage, and with perfect
ease make a very handsome income. Several la
dies iu various parts of New York State, Pennsyl
vania, and Maryland, whom I have instructed,
are now making from $3 to $6 per day at it. It
is a GENTEEL BUSINESS, and but a FEW
SHILLINGS are required to start it. Upon re
ceipt o$l, I will immediately send to the appli
cant a printed circular containing full instructions
in the art, which can be perfectly understood at
once.

For a nation of freemen, the time has gone by,
When prudence in frenzied excitement forgets,
That the heroes of battlebut rarely supply
The plans of success which a statesman begets.
Let our warriors be honored with titles when due,
With plaudits and love in" a perfect ovation.
But the statesmen, tho able, the tried, and the
true
Are fitted the best for executive station.
'Mid the great of Old England he stood una

Determined and faithful, pacific and bland,
And the glory and might of his intellect flashed
The splendor of fame on his own native land.
In the quiet of Wheatland rests bike a sage,
The ablest compatriot of -Webster and Clay, .
As injustice to them, darkens history's page,
Be true to the great who are living to-day.
In the quiet of Wheatland, he rests like a sage.
In repose 'neath the shadow of oak and of elm,
With his vigor of youth and his wisdom of age,
His country hath need of his hand at the helm,
Mighty faults may be shown by the demagogue's
art,
Twere better that men, without sin fixed the
blime.
If he erred, 'twas a fault of the head not the
heart,
For he's true to his country, and true to his
fame. J'

From Benton's Thirty Years' View, to be pub
lished in a few day's by the Appleton's
Death of Silas Wright.
Us. died suddenly at the age of fifty-two,
and without the sufferings and premonitions
wbicb usually - accompany the mortal transit
from time to eternity. A letter that he was
reading was seen to UXL fronhis hand; a phy
sician was called r'ln two hours be was dead
apoplexy the cause.
Though dying at an age deemed young in
a statesman, be bad attained all that long life
could give high office, national fame, fixed
character and universal esteem. He had run
the career of honor in the state of New York
been Representative and Senator in Con
gress and had refused more offices, and
higher, than be ever accepted lie refused
Cabinet appointments under bis fast friend Mr.
Van Bnren, and under Mr. Polk, whom He
may be said to have elected ; be refused a seat
on the bench of the federal Supreme Court ;
he rejected instantly the nomination of 1S44
for Vice President of the United States when
that nomination was the election. He refused
to be put in nomination for the Presidency.
He refused to accept foreign missions.
He spent that time in declining office which
others did in winning it ; and of those he did
accept, it might well be 6aid they were thrust
upon him. Office, not greatness, was thrust
upon him. He was born great, above office,
and unwillingly decended to it ; and only took
it for its burdens, and to satisfy an importu
nate public demand. Mind, manners, mor
als, temper, habits, united in him to form the
character that was perfect, both in public and
private life, and to give the example of a pa
triot citizen of afarmcr statesman of which
we have read in Cincinnatus and Cato, and
seen in iviacon, ana some others or their
stamp- created by nature formed in no
school : and of which the instances are rare
and long between.
His mind was clear and 6trong, bis judg
ment solid, bis elocution smooth and equable,
bis speaking, always addressed to the under
standing, and always enchaining the attention
of those who had minds to understand. Grave
reasoning was his forte. Argumentation was
always the line of his speech. He spoke to
ihe head, not to the passions ; and would have
been disconcerted to see anybody laugh or
cry at anything he said, nis thoughts evolv
ed spontaneously, in natural and proper order,
clothed in language of force and clearness ;
all so naturally and easily conceived that an
extemporaneous speech, or the first draft of
an intricate report, bad all the correctness
of a finished composition. His manuscripts
had no . blots a proof that bis mind bad
none ; and he. wrote a neat and compact hand
suitable to a clear and solid mind.
He came into the Senate iu the beginning
of General Jackson's administration, and re
mained during that of Mr. Van Buren ; and
took a ready and active part in all the great
debates of those eventful times. The ablest
speakers of the opposition always had to ans
wer him; and when ho answered them, they
showed by their anxious concern, that the ad
versary was upon them whose force they
dreaded most. Though taking his full part
upon all subjects, yet finance was bis particu
lar department, always chairman of that ooni
mittee when his party was in power, and by
the lucidity of his statements making plain
the most intricate moneyed details, ne had
a just conception of the difference between
the functions of the Finance Committee of the
Senate, and the Committee of Ways and
Means of the House so little understood in
these latter times: those of the latter founded
in the prerogative of the House to originate
all revenue bills ; those of the former to act
upon the propositions from the House, with
out originating measures which might effect
the revenue, so as to coerce either its increase
or prevent its reduction. In 1844 be left the
Senate to stand for the governorship of New
York ; and never did his self-sacrificing tem
per undergo a stronger trial, or submit to a
greater sacrifice, ne liked the Senate ; he
disliked the governorship even to adsolute
repugnance. Hut it was said to him (and
truly, as then believed and afterwards proved)
that the stale would be lost to Mr. Polk, un
less Mr. Wright was associated with him in
the canvass; and to this argument he yielded.
He stood the canvass for the governorship
carried it and Mr. Polk with him ; he saved
the presidential election that year.
Judgment was the character of Mr. Wright's
mind ;" purity the quality of his heart.
Though valuable in the field ' of debate, be
was still more valuable at the council table,
where sense and honesty are. demanded.
General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren relied
upon him as one of , their safest counsellors.
A candor which knew no guile- an integrity
which' knew no deviation whieh worked
right . oU, like a, msefcin governed .by a law ;
of which it was unconscious were the inexo
rable conditions of bis nature ruling bis con
duct in every act, public and private. Iso
foul legislation ever emanated from him.
The jobber, the speculator, the dealer in
false claims, the plunderer; whose scheme re
quired an act of Congress j all these found in "
his vigilance and perspicacity a detective po
lice, which discovered their .designs, and in
his integrity a seorn of corruption -which kept
them at a di&i&noe from, the purity of. bis. at
mosphere. -
His temper was gentle -bis manners sim
ple hi3 intercourse kindly his habits labo
rious :and rich upon a freehold of thirty
acres, in much part cultivated by. hid own
hand. In the intervals of Senatorial duties
this man who refused cabinet appointments
and presidential honors and a seat upon the
Supreme Bench who measured strength' with
Clay, Webster and Calhoun, and on whoso
ac cents admiring Senates hung : this man,
his neat suit of broadcloth and fine linen ex
changed for the laborer's dress, might be seen
in the barvest field, or meadow, carrying1 the
foremost row, and doing the cleanest work :
and this is not a recreation or pastime, or en
couragement to others, but as work, which was
to count in the annual cultivation, and labor
to be felt in the production of the needed
crop, nis principles were Democratic, and
innate founded in a feeling, still more than a
conviction, that the masses were generally
right in their sentiments, though souietiniea
wrong iu their .action ; and that there was
less injury to the country from the honest mis
takes of the people than from tho interested
schemes of corrupt ani intriguing politician,
lie was born in Massachusetts, came to man's
estate in New York, received from that state
the only honors he .would accept ; and in cho
sing his place of residence in it gave proof of
his modest, retiring, unpretending nature.

present Ilouse of Representatives. That has
