4JITIZENS of Pennsylvania, you
have now before you DR. PETERS'
CELEBRATED VECITABLE PILLS.
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 sunring man. They have
been introduced whereverit has been found
possible to carry them; and there are but
lew towns that do not contain some re
markable evidences of their good effects.
The certificates than 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 the 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 aro 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 Ilead
ache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rite-n
matism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles,
Cholic, Females Obstructions, Heartburn,
Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the
Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,
Flatulence, Habitual Costiveness, Loss of
Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complex
ion, and in cases. of torpor of the bowels,
where a cathartic or aperient is needed.
They are exe..!edin . gly mild in their opera
tion, producing neither nausea, griping nor
debility.
Extract of a letter written by Dr. Fran
cis Bogart, of Providence, R. I. Dec. 17,
1828.—Peters' pills are an excellent ape
rient and cathartic medicine, those effects
Leine' produced by the differences of the
1
quarility taken, and and are decided': su
perior to Lee's, Brandreth's or Morri
son's Pills.
Extract from a letter by Dr Hopson of
Bangor, Me. Jan. 9, 1839. They . are a
peculiarly mild, yet efficient purgative
medicine, and produce little, of any grip
ing or nausea. I have prescribed them
with much success in sick headache and
light 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 effective, 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 I
could put the least confidence in but 1)r
Peters Vegetable Pills, which are really a
valuable discovery. I have no hesitation
in having it known that I use them eaten
sively in my practice, for all complaints,
(and they are not a few) which have their
source in the impurity of the blood.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of
Quebec, L. C., March 6, 1837. For bit.
lions fevers, sick head-ache, torpidity of
, the bowels, and enlargement of the spleen
Dr. Peters' Pills are an excellent meili
i cinc.
Exiract of a letter l'rom Dr. Curney . N
Orleans, La., Oct. 9, 1837; I have receiv
ed Much assistance in my practice; espe
cially in jautlice and yellow fever, from
the usl of Peters' Pills. I presume that,
on an average, I prescribe 100 boxes in a
month. -
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of
Hudson N. Y. June 3, 1836; I was aware'
that Dr. Peters' was one of the best diem
ists in the U. States, and felt assured that
he would some day (from his intin ate
knowledge of the properties of herbs and
drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and
I must acknowledge that his Vegetable
Pills fully respond to my expectatiods.
They are Indeed a superior medicine, and
reflect credit alike upon the Chemist, the
Physician, and Philosoper.

MAJOR DOWNING'S, SPEECH,
IN REPLY TO DIR. BELLOWSPIPE
If any man, Mr. Moderator, finds he's
got a leetle too much starch in his shirt
collar, I would advise him to git up in sich
a crowd as this to make a speech for the
first time, and if it don't make things
feel pretty limber about him then I'm mis
taken. 1 had no notion on't afore; and I
feel jist so now, that I would a plagy
sight rather agree to chop wood all wint
er on the Aroostook, right in the face and
eyes of all the llrumrikers, than to go on
with the job of making a speech, and so
many folks all around listening to it; but
I hope I'll git used to it afore long, and if
I say any thing that aint according to rule
and order, I hope it wont rile folks up too
much— for I roly don't want to make mud
dy water 'twixt any on ,us. Nor do I want
to drink muddy water riled up by other'
folks, until have a chance at clearing'
on't. If this Convention expects me to
go back away along before paper was in
vented, and come along up side by side
and neck by neck with Mr. Bellowspipe,
or to liggure up any of Isis' ong tables
they are mistaken, all that may suit folks
who may have a notion for such things.
know a punkin ft um a potatoe, and know
that a good ripe punkin makes a good pie
it folks know how so fix it. Now I dont
see what good comes from hunting back
to find out how punkins got on the Lace of
the earth, or who first thought of, or in
vented pies out on 'em. I know that a
punkin pie is a first rate good Democratic
and patriotic pie, and if it don't go right
to the ribs ivhen eaten, then it is a sure
sign that the punkin wan't ripe, or was
too ripe and rotten or folks who made the
pie don't know their business. This mis
take aint in the punkin; if it is ripe and
sound and the pie amt good, the mistake
is in time cooking on't. This is sartin,—
and being so, what on arth is the good of
hunting back, and trying to show that a
punkin is any thing else but a punkin.
And jtst so it is with paper money. Ev
ery body knows that paper money, as it
was intended to be made, and has been
made, and can be made again, is jist as
much better than hard money for carrying
on trade, in every part of this everlasting
wide and long country, as a shoe-string is
better than an old gold or silver buckle,
or steam better than wind to travel by on
land or water. if we never had good pa
per money, if we never had tried shoe
strings, or steam, if we know'd nothing
about 'em— then, I say, let us stick to
gold and silver, and copper money—shoe
buckles,,and sails, and veto every thing
else; but folks have tried good paper mo
ney, and shoe-strings, and steam, they
know them all as well as I know a good
punkin from a bad one; and they know
what is bad paper money; they know what
is a bad shoe string; and they know what
is a risky steam engine. They have tried
them all, and now all they ask is, let us
have good papir money, let us have good
strong leather shoe-strings, and give us
steam well controlled; they say we must
have 'em, and if we can't have the best
we will take the next best; and jist so it
is with the punkin pie—we eat 'em be
cause we know 'em, and like 'em; and if
we cant get the best we take the next best
Now, as we know, all these things can't
be made best— it is a duty to make 'em so
—and if not, whose fault is it ? Will any
man say we never had good paper money,
and can't have it again? (Here Major Dow
fling looked at Mr. Bellowspipe, who sig
nificantly shook his head.) .The gentle
man shakes his head,' says the Major,
'Well there aint much iu Mali' Will
any man or woman say we never had
good punkin pies and cant have 'cm again?
(Here the Major turned to the gallery,
and a general nodding of bonnets answer
ed.)'l know,' says he, 'good punkin pies
have been, still are, and will be again, so
long as we have folks who know the rin-,
ture of 'em; but put a punkin in the hand
of a Turk, or a Chinese, or a Malay—or
a Patagonian, or any other of the folks
the gentleman from Missouri tells on as
hard money folke—and tell 'em to
make a pie on't and what then? will he
eat it? It he can, he has a better appe
tite than I have—and jist so with steam;
we all know what steam is—how it can
carry us along again the wind on water or
land, and how sale we feel when we have
sich kind of folks as my old friend, Capt.
Elihu Bunker to look arter the steam kit
ties and to keep the hot water from scald
ing folks—but because some of these
Turks and Patagonians and Chinese don't
know nothing about it, and if they did it
would blow 'em up all sky high, are we
expected to throw cold water on it and
step back to the golden calf age before
steam was thought on?
Now let us suppose that a rale cunning
politician •who has spent his whole life in
maniging party folks—takes it into his
head to manage a steam enjine—'what'
says he: 'if I can manage Irvin critters,
4 can't I manage cranks and pumps and pis
ton rods"'' So he tries it--well what
then ? the next thing we hair is a smash
and a blow up. The great man, howev
er, wont allow folks to say it was owing
to his ignorance; no, no, that would nev
er do. So he and his party turn to and
try to prove that the fault was in the en
gine, 'tho every body knew that engine
had been working smoothly for many
years, and not a krack about it--but they
stick to it, and every son of a gun on 'em
insists on't that rich kind of engines nev
er are safe, and they must have more auto
ple machines, and to prove this they all
set to work, taking advantaged every
chance to unscrew a valve, drop stones
in the pumps and throw sand on the pis
ton rods; and when an accident comes,
then you hear them, "There is the great
bubble burst; we told you so."
"Now is the time to put down all steam
engines; now the people must see it is
high time to divorce," and so fore li. They
first git all the owners ofthe little engi nes
to join 'em in blowing up and smas hing b
the big one, and • then ungratefully (as 1
sometimes think, and then again I think,
it is bat common justice) turn round mid
try to blow up all the little ones. This
would be all well enuf, and I'd let them
tight it out if the hot water was kept a
mong themselves; but there is something
due to the honest and. quiet passengers;
men women and children, who have tray
cited along by steam for years is safety.
and are now told they must go back to the
golden ege and ,do as folks do in other
countries and as they have done since
the days of Moses, and will continue to
do to the end of.,thne; paddle their own
canoes or go afoot.
A good mauy steam boats have blown
up; and a good many folks have got scal
ded since steam has been in use; but are
we ready to say 'down with steam,' not
yet I guess, because folks who keep a run
of those matters know that more lives
have been lost by sails than by steam; and
ten thousand times more folks go by steam
than could by sails. The extra work
that steam does beyond all the power that
folks in other countries can do who don't
know any thing about it, is just about e
qual to the extra work that credit does be
yond what . folks can do in countries
where they don't know what . credit is.
Sometimes credit blows up, but are we
ready to say there must be no credit; no
confidence between man and man? We
know that steam can be matte safe; and
we all know credit can be made safe; and
if a bladder-head blows up a steam en
gine, or a rogue abuses credit, is that a
good reason for abandoning both steam
and credit? Can't we measure the good
that has and can again be done by them
whilst we are measuring the evil? Let us
figure up the account fairly and see how
the balance stands.
I sometimes think, Mr. Moderator, if
we don't look out sharp, that all our good
Republican Democrats are going to be
led into a scrape, by some folks who say
they are real up anti down, thick and thin
Democrats, and purer Democrats than
the world ever hearn tell on afore; and by
this very plan now on foot, of kocking
clown all credit, and going on the hard mo
ney plan entirely. They tell its that hard
money is only the Democratic wimp, and
that credit is an invention of the old fed
eral aristocrats• ' and if it aint put down,
the old sound Democratic party will all
go to the bugs. Now what is the fact?
If there was any Democrats, and good
sound ones too, in the country about 25
I years ago, what did they say then ? and
they had it all their own way, to do and
say as they thought best:
There hail been a bank of the U. S. a
few years before, and its charter had run
out and it was wound up, and in its place
a lot of State Banks had sprung up and
pretty much every man had set up his
shinplaster shop. the people was gittm
more and more disgusted, and jist looking
round to cure the evil; for such ovils have
nat'ral course, though one cure aint quite
as Democratic as another. Some few
folks who had money were jist going a•
head over them who was blowing up, and
supplying good ;raper money of their own
making, and by fixing ncencies at different
pints, just as they du all through Europe,
taking care as they do there, to keep their
(
own iron chests, to hold the gold taeen in
exchthige for their credit; and never trus
ting any one on their industry and good
morals or as readily as thu do men who
have good gold property for security, and
if the Democratic party oh that day hadn't
seen the drift of things; or if they acted
then as the the party calling itselt Demo
cratic now act; what would have been the
condition of things? Why simply this.
We should have a few Rothchilds, Hot
tingeurs and Hopes; all everlasting rich
Bankers, grown fat by the use of their
credit, besides a good many who have
been blown up; bit they hold the gold
whilst the people hold the bills, but the
Democratic notion of that day didn't ex
actly think this a thing for a republican
people; they knew the people couldn't get
on without using credit, and that the ,l , tureen private Banking and Corporation
would use it; that bad credit would break Banking.
