Mitional Convesnion, We have this week devoted nearly the whole of our paper to the proceedings of this important meeting. Perhaps there never was a session of any body of men, whose doings were looked for with more anxiety. For years the great portion of the re' fleeting part of the community have been, contending against the abuses and ill used power of the National Administration. They, we might almost say, contended in . vain, were it net that we believed that' the continued firmness of the friends of or• der have made the Wiley demagogues less bad, and less vicious in their course, lest their ever watchful foes might awaken the minds of the people to a sense of their danger. . Three years ago nothing was wanted but the early and united action of our friends to have wrested the power fr o m the hands of the spoilers, we failed then ; and our hope was, that the old vetran of North Bend should be by acclamation called forth once mote as the peoples' choice. Unfortunately, personal pref ferences, atal as we thought a vain of success with another, scattered the seeds lot dissention among our ranks, and a' gloomy prospect of enevitable defeat see-' med distinctly pictured in the distance. A National Convention was finally con cieved as the only plan of concentratin; again the foes of the political power and pAitical tyranny. As one ot the humblest soldiers in the y cause of the people, we patiently await ed the result ; nor tried to use our little means to wound the feelings ot such as we believed sought to obtain the same desira_ tile end as ourselves. Had such been the course of many others, we feel confi dent there wound been a united and ener getic effort at once to prostrate that par ty which has prustratrd our country; and we feel equally confident, that the "great est good to the greatest number . ' will be the watchwaod which accomplishes the same result now. Feeling thus, how can we fail to commence the good work at once We have during all the contests tar men, kept the nain of OLD TIP stream ing from our mast head; and w•e rejoice to he etobled to soy, after the action of the Convention, that "our fog is still there." GEN. %VAC H. HARRISON 'Was nominated , we might almost say, byl 'acclamation. Ills honors won in the field of battle and in the councils of the na tion have rendered him too dear to every true American citizen to let him go to his grave without receiving the gratitude of a happy people. Hurrah for the ILL.() of Tippecanoe: who will not re-echoe the shout.—When clouds and darkness overshoddowed our country—when the trontier settler laid down to his rest, uncertain whether h e should rise again, unless to see his family the victim of the red man's knife,—when 'almost- every valley of the west was aim soned by the blood of its sons where then was o'd Tip. Where the war whoop ! was the wildest—where the knife and the tommithawk gleamed the brightest— Nvhere a savage and an unrelenting foe was the fiercest. There he stood; and. Tyler's capacity and.honor. • Come to the rescue every lover of his country CONGRESS On Monday, the 26th Congress met; 'many had anticipated that stems s'i'te disgraceful as those of last winter at Har rsburg wouldihe Enacted, in order to 82- cure the seats of some:disputed members, among whom is Tory Ingersoll. Although there was considerable confusion, yet there was no row or riot got up to effect that end. Immediately upon the meet ing of the body, which was Lfull, not one being absent, the Clerk (Garland) com menced calling the roll, when he came to the . Jersey members he called only the name of one, Mr Randolph, whose seat is the only one in that State, which is en d's•puted ; and refused to call any of the others. As might be anticipated, the fun began; for each Jersey member had the same evidence of his election, as Mr Ran dolpit; and the right of the Clerk to make his election of those entitled, was stoutly denied. One motion succeeded another, and one speech was followed by another. Mr. Garland, however, assumed the re sponsibility of refusing to put any mo tions; and consequently, they were all laid on the table without even a hope of being put to the house. For three days this scene of fully was carried on; and the House not nearer its action upon the point at issue than when they met, A slittined of sucl► child's play, at last, a, (motion was made by Mr Rhett, after a skinning speech of old John Quincy, lit terally flaying the despot, Garland, for refusing to do his duty, that the Ex-Pc el ident take the speaker's chair, and aet as pro tem Speaker until the difficulties of coutested seats were settled. He took the chair amid the acclamations of the crowded hall; and from that time until our last reports, the house was engaged discussing the rights of the contested members. The result or this is, no President's Message is yet sent to Congress. NOTICE TO COLLECTORS irall payments hereafter made by the Collectors of onunty tax TEN PER CENT will be re q uired in SILVER.

These Pills are no longer among those of doubtful utility. They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of experiment, and now stand before the public as high in rep. utation, and as extensively employed in all parts of the U. States, the Canadas, Texas, Mexico, and the west Indies, as any medicine that has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering man. They have been introduced whereverit has been found possible to carry them; and there are but few towns that do not contain some re markable evidences of their good effects. 'lle certificates thaa have been presented, to the proprietor exceeds twenty thousand upwards of five hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of the merits. Often have the cures performed by this medicine been the subject of editorial comment, in various newspapers and jour nals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine of tLe kind has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value than are attached• to this. They are in general use as a family medicine and there are thousands of fami lies who declare they are never satisfied unless they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and pre venting Bilious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Head ache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rhe-n matisin, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Chulic, Females Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension ol the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrlicea, Flatulence, Habitual Costiveness, Loss ol Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complex ion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is needed. They are exceedingly mild in their opera tion, producing neither nausea, griping nor debility. Extract of a letter written by Dr. Fran cis Bogart, of Providence, 11. 1. Dec. 17, 1828.—Peters' pills are au excellent ape rient and cathartic medicine, those effects' Lein proluced by the differences of the quantity taken, and and are decideall i • su perior to Lee's, Branditth's or Morri son's Pills. Extract from a letter by Dr Hopson of Banger, Me. Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild, yet efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, of any grip ing or nausea. 1 have prescribed them with - much success in sick headache and slight billions fever. Extract of a letter by Dr Joseph Willi ams of Burlington, Vt. July 9, 1837.—1 cordially recommend Peters' Pills as a mildly etlectivei and in no case dangerous, family medicine. They are peculiarly in costivenenss and all the usual diseases of the digestive organs. Extract of a letter from Dr Edw. Smith of Montreal, U. C. Sept 27, 1836-1 nev er knew a single patent medicine that 1 could put the least confidence in but Dr l'eters Vegetable Pills, which are really a valuable discovery. 1 have no hesitation in having it known that I use them enten sively in my practice, for &II complaints, (and they are nut a few) which have their source in the impurity oldie blood. . , Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec; L. C., March 6, 1837. For bil• lious fevers, sick head-ache, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of the spleen [Jr. Peters' Pills are an excellent medi cine. Exiract of a letter from Dr. Gurney N Orleans, La., Oct. 9; 1837; I have teceiv- NI much assistance in my practice; espe cially in jaudice and yellow fever,' from the ust of Peters' Pills. I presume that, on an average, 1 prescribe 100 boxes in a month. Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of {Judson N. Y. June 3, 1836; I was aware hat Dr. Peters' was one of the best them its in the U. States, and felt assured that he would some day (front his intin ate knowledge of the properties of herbs and arugs) produce an efficient medicine, and l must acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond to my expectatiods. They are indeed a superior medicine, awl reflect credit alike upon the Chemist, the Physician, and Philosoper. Extract of a letter from Dr. Wains of Ciniunati, Feb, 2, 1838; your Pills are the mildest in their opeiations, and yet most powerful in their effecst, of any that, I have. There action, on the chyle. and hence on the impurities of the blood is tv dently very surprising. Extract of a letter from Dr. &Ott of Baltimore, Dec. 17,1856; I am in the daily habit of prescribing them (Peters' Pills) and they in near ly all cases anss,er my purposes. I have directed other medi cines, some of them very good ones, in their favor. Charlotte, N.C., June, 1, 1837. Dear Sir: 1 have lrecluen* ' ....
