blown, " first and last in the thickest strife—where hand to and they met the fee—where steel met steel—where the blood of friends and foes mingled in one common stream. Aye, there they saw him, when his cunning opponent was pro nouncing THAT WAR UNJUST— which secured the final and lasting tri.. l umph of American freedom. To the Farmers & Meehan- -No• I ics- If there be any portion of citizens of a republican government, who are mainly interested in the preservation of its free institutions, and its equalizing Laws, that portion is composed of those whose means 'of support are their daily toil—those who live not upon the earnings of others, hut *vt ho dig on the .farm—work at the anvil-- 'push the jack-plane, or delve any where among the wood and metals of ; our coun try. Take from them their powers and rights, and they at once become the me- nials-the hewers at wood and the draw- Os of water, for those , whodive upon the'. *ins of usurp; -ord.he more popular, ye:' liotless guilty system .of speculating up on the wants ot the poor . and the neces sities of thee - suffering mechanic, and nee dy and indigent farmer. "We hold these truths as self evident;" and we pur pose devoting a portion of our paper to -give our views, as to what is the duty of, this most useful class of our citizent, in , nrder to preserve, unshaken., the "bles sings and benefits" which were the rich legacy ot their revoluhonary sires. We ask all to read them. We seek no other gnod than, it 'possible, to benefit those classes who have the greatest stake in the prosperity of our country. ' The man of wealth, and power, and in fluence, can live under any government— under any laws; but.the daily laborer in the field and.the workshop, must look up on the destruction of our institutions, as the downfall of his hopes, his rights, and his liberties. To them, then, we intend to address ourselves, in the plain language of hones ty and truth. They shall be the honest sentiments of that Yankee Benedict ; he writes us he thinks, and he appeals in all candor, to every working man to say if he does not speak truly, it not learnedly, or wisely I We are but a common man like the rest of you ; we earn today what feeds the wife and children to-morrow, we are one of you ; and we feel that your interest Are one and the same as ours. Undoubted- ly you may be told that we are just try ing to deceive and delude you, into some political opionion or notion. Let not such silly charges keep you from reading, and :making yourselves acquainted with the condition of your couutry. if such hollow hearted exclamations can shut your eyes from the truth now, be as. cured that some day when the hand of the spoiler is ready to crush you, the lime song may make you hesitate until the last "link is broken" which connects your des tiny with the institutions of Freedom. Ise shall pursue a series of crticles through several weeks of our pap; r ; com paring the past and present condition of •our country —the past and present con dition of farmers and mechanics, and en- deavor to show what have been the caulk es which brought about certain results. We shalt endeavor to use no language which shalt be offensive to any ; unless it should offend, and excite the malice of politicians and office hunters, and the whole horde of those worthless worthies who .are so anxious to take care of the country —but are much more anxious that the country should take care of them —gentlemen paupers, who bask In the sunshine of official power, and cox fat , upon their share of the spoils of the peo-' ple's money. If we offend them, we shall be rejoiced, believing that they fan-, cy that we teach the industrious poor that their love of country, and their lose of th e dear people meant nothing, only love if setfi love of power, and love of the )money they wring in taxes from you and auraelf. We shall ent;eavor still farther to bhow :hat in the present (1.1,y, patriotism means nventing some new scheme of securing atccess of party, no matter how much the ,eople may suffer, no matter how much their rights may be outraged ; and we hall go still farther, and try to show, 'hat when a set of men have held power or many years they forget the duty they me to the interest of the farmer and me hanic, and think only of their hopes of Ace, and their share of the people's mo iey.a The press should be the palladium of a 'rec people. A press unshackled and un- 'controlled by power, should Mani times devote its every power fur the good of the people. In monarchies, the freedom of the press is chained down by the edicts of Royalty. Kings nor tyrants cannot' breathe that atmosphere which fosters free press. In a tree government like ours the conductor of every press claims to be the especial friend and guardian of the people's right. Whether all who claim to be, are such, should be a subject of strict inquiry with the only soyreigns of the soil--an industrious and honest peo ple. if we among the others claim too much, we should be taught to perform all that we claim. Let, then, our brother mechanics, and every worthy and industrious farmer ex amine our professions and practice, and if they do not :twee, they can at once pro- uuunce us a. wolf in sheep's clothing. lye call upon any man who differs wit!, our views, as they may be expresses in these esstys, to enter the geld of argu ment against us, they shall have a free ',lse of our colitme.:s ; anti their articles shall be printer, with as much care as our own. The: s must, however, write as we do, over their own name, and let their ar gameuts be gentlemanly and corteous ; anti we pro wise the artisan and laborer, that e are not their champion, we will l a faithful soldier in their cause. If ar igument instead of sophistry be used, we ' will answer. It none take up the guant let, we shall be vain enough to say, and to say plainly, that they fear the contest would result in no honor. H e have done for this week. And we not only ask that every tnechaic will read our views, but, that he will give them to his neighbor. Mr. Hurd' Address. Upon our first page will be found the remarks of S. T. Hurd, Esq. made at a meeting held in our borough, two weeks since. Mr. Ilurd was a delegate from the State of Ohio to the Baltimore Conven. Lion. On his return, he spent a few days in our town, and a meeting of the friends of General Harrison was called by the citizens, to request Mr. Hurd to make some remarks upon the prospects of our cause in the country ; and to let the peo ple know the feelings of that mighty Eon course of people, upon the engrossing to, pic of the Presidency. 'rhe meeting hiet and was organised ; when Mr. Ilurd took the stand. and made a very able and elo quent examination of the present Admin istration. The meeting was large and enthusiastic, frequently stopping the spea ker with cheers of applause. A resolution was adopted, requesting Mr. Hurd to furnish a complete, or an abstract copy of his remarks, for our pa paper, The abstract on the first gage, was handed in, but by an accident beyond itir control, we were unable to present it to our reailers until this week. We did tot publish the minutes of the meeting for the same reason ; and as there was noth• 'ing of any particular importance, we have concluded that, at this late day, they can be of no importance. We commend the remrirks of Mr. Hurd to the attentive pe rusal of our readers. Legistature. The following are the provisions of the bill which passed the House of Represen tatives on Tuesday: To complete the railway to a• void the inclined plane at Columbia. To purchase new locomotives and ropes or, the Columbia and Portage railroads, To renew the Not th track of the Columbia and Philadel phia railroad from the 22nd milestone to Whitehall, (This sum to be taken out of the sum appropriated for re pairs.) To pay debts due on the Sin nemahoning extension, W. Branch, Co pey debts due on the Get tysburg railroad, To pay debts due on the Al legheny feeder To pay for dubling locks on the Eastern division, Pa canal For repairs and payment of debts on different lines of canal and railroads. To pay for new work on lin ! ished lines pay of canal coin missioners, Damages, To the Erie extension, Do North Branch, NV iscontsco canal, To the stock of the Mononga hela navigation company, g 2,400,502 The third and fourth sections are as lollow.—They will explain themselves. Sec 3. For the payment of the inter est upon :the public debt, falling due on the first of July next, such sum as shall be requited for the payment thereof, be and is hereby specifically appropriated. "Sec 4. That the Presidant, direc tors, and company of the Bank of the U. States are hereby required to advance nn permanent loan, .at an inerest of four per cent, the amount appropriated by this act the certificate of stuck to be issued and made payable in the manner prescribed by the 6th section of the act passed the 18th I day of February 1836, entitled "an act to repeal the State tax on real and personal property and to continue the improve ments of the state hy railroads and canals and to charter a state bank to be called the United States Bank," said amount to be paid in gold and silver, or its equiva lent, tinll in case the same is not advan, ced accordance with the provisions of, thP, act aforesaid and this act, the charter lof the said bank shall be forfeited, and Ithe Governor is hereby authorized to is. sue his proclamation declaring the same I null and v oid. They have done nothing else, and it is: quite problematical whether this bill will be passed by the senate. .. Our readers will perceive that the De l l I mocratic anti-bank legislature have agreed I to legalize monster, ilize the charter of the b y calling on her for money, as provided un der that charter. 0 consistency what a jewel.

This disease is discovered by a fixed ob tuse pain and weight in the right side under the short ribs; attended with heat, uneasi ness about the pit of the stomach ;—there is in the right side also a distension—the patient loses his appetite :old becomes sick and trou ble with vomiting. The tongue becomes, rough and black, countenance changis to a pale or citron color or yellow, like those I af- Hie ted with jaudice—difficult y of breathing. disturbed rest, attended with dry caogh, dif ficulty of laying on the left side—the oody becomes weak, and finally the'disease termi nates into another of a more serious nature, which in all probability is far beyond the power of human skill. Dr. Harlich's coin. pound tonic strengthening and German ape lent pills, V taken at the commencement of this disease, will check it, and by continu ing the use of the medicine a few weeks, ki perfect cure cure will be performed.
