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 o the stomach;—there is in the right side also a distension—the patient loses his appetite and becomes sick and troll• ble with vomiting. The tongue becomes rough and black, countenance changis to a pale or citron color or yellow, like those tar flicted with jaudice—difficulty *.of breathing, disturbed rest, attended with dry caugh, dif ficulty of laying on the left side—the uody 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. Harlieh's coin. • pound tonic strengthening and German ape rient pins, if taken at the commencement of this disease, will check it, and by continu ing the use of the medicine a few weeks, a perfect cure cure will be performed.

Our readers are aware that there has been no inconsi.leratile discussion of late in the newspaws, in regard to the "po sition" of General Drown of Michigan. This gentleman has been hitherto a sup porter of Mr. V. Buren, and was recent , . ly appointed one of the visitors of the Military Academy at West Point. When it was asserted that lie had come out for General Harrison, the fact was positively denied by the Albany Argus and the Washington Globe—lt was admitted that he might have attended the recent cele bration at Fort Meigs, but any further commitment to General Harrison was considered quite impossible. We have now, fortunately, more satisfactory evi dence of the General's views, than the mere assertions of his friends, or the de nials of the administration press—the fol lowing letter from the General himself, which we find in the Detroit Advertiser of Wednesday _last, defines his position with a distinctiveness which leaves no fur ther room for cavil. We commend it to the clpecial attention of those old friends of General Jackson, who have been dis gusted with the follies and vices of the a scendant dynasty in the Republic. It will not lie in the mouth of Van Burenisin "ONE COUNTRY, ONE CONSTITUTION, ONE DESTINY." = - - A. W. ENEDICT PITBLISHIBIR AND PROPRIETOR. HUNTINGDON, PENNSYLVANIA, WEDNESDAV, AUGUST 5. 1340. to disparage a gentleman v:huni they thought worth conciliating by a highly complimentary and honorable appoint ment. The character of the writer and his high, standing in Michigan, give a weight and imporiance to the following letter. independent of its intrinsic merits. Let it ba read and pondered. There are many former friends of the administration who feel with General Brown, and who, we doubt, not. veill ultimately act with him. Our accounts from Michigan are in the highest degree encouraging. The Harrison majority in that State will not be less than two thousand votes. We annex the General's letter, and invite for it es pecial attention— 'runt:Amu, June 28, 1840, Mr Editor—f regret extreinFly the ne cessity of this appeal to my feflow citit 'Lens. It is the first time in an active life of more than forty-five years that I have been compelled to defend myself from the false charges made against me by a cm, rupt and venal press. The Federal Lu co Foci) papers have heaped upon My de voted head all the hard na ivies to he found in their vocabulary; and they continue to repeat them from one to the other, for fear their readers 'nnght forget there, is such a man in the State. In the organ of the party, the Detroit Free Press, 1 observed three several articles devoted to myself; and yet in nearly all their arti cles that I have seen, I am represented as "a ,man without influence in society"— that I "never could command more than one vote." Let me, ask what has beer: my great of, fence. lam a private citizen in the hum ble walks of life. I do not hold, oriel have never iheld, an official station from Mr. Van Buren or any of his minions; neither do I admit that ;I am ender any political or personal obligations to him. I had not written one word against him or his-friends, when this newspaper war was commenced, nor had I, or have I, reveal ed pile secrets of the party." I did, to be sure, do what until now I had suppo sed a free American citizen had a right to do, .whether high or low, rich or poor. I attended a Whig meeting, and lent my aid to the friends of General Harrison in preoaring to attend the Felt Meigs cole oration. At that meeting I declared my preference fbr him over Mr. Van Buren; that I should decline the appointment as one of the visitors at West Pinnt, and would attend the Fort Meigs celebration in honor of General Harrison. This is a plain detail of facts. I did not then, nor do I now, profess to belong to the Weig party b this State, or the U. States. 1 simply gave my preference fm the man of my choice. I had long known both of the candidates, and sup. posed I bad the right, common to every citizen of our beloved country, to cote for whom I pleased, without calling down up on my head the anathemas of a cr.rrupt and hireling press. There would have been sense excuse for ;this exterminating warfare, if I had made use of any pert of dm information, which I possess, of the corruptions of "the party." Having so long acted with them, I am well informed on many points that would not read well I in history. Now I would ask if any man of com mon senae can believe, for a moment, that I arrspe sole object my Loco foe, rr/en* have in view. By no means. If I sill,- posed so, I should not trouble you with this communication. Their gaine is high er. They begin to see their position. Hundreds are leaving them daily. The popularity of General Harrison is spread tog far and wide over the land, and ''the cry is, sot they come." It has come down upon this 'corrupt and venal fie ' tion like an avalanche, and unless it can he arrested before the ides of November, they will be crushed to ahem. Th i s is plain to the observervation of any man who dares to look at his position, and that of the country, in their true light. "The Party" says that this must not be done. Met, •in the eyes of Van Buren, Kendal & Co., are met e machines, to be used for tarty purposes, When they say that 'State Banks are all sufficient for the wants of the government and people, that the public funds are otife with them, add that they can regulate foreign rind domes tic exchanges"—so must the party also , say. Bat when Mr. Van Buren says the State Banks are corrupt, down with them, and give all the money of the State to this honest administration, which has the good of the dear people so much tit heart, then the watch word is the sub-treasury. And if an independent voter, who has gone .with them thus far, as I have done, presumes to doubt and question the. poli cy, the cry is, i "shoot him, shoot the de serter,' or what is far worse to a ma n o f any sensibility, blacken his character, de stroy his reputation °and whip others of less nerves back into the ranks by the dread of a similar fate. This is the true interpetation of my case. But all this will not do. The time ~_~---= has gone by when party names end the) cry of "Democracy" can save the party I in power. They ate at war with all the great interests of tilt country. Mr. Van Buren has been weighed, and the peopl e find nothing. ahe contrast is daily roads between hint and the Farmer of North Bend, and what a contrast! The former has spent his whole life in office; the peo ple's money has been levitated upon him; at all times, he has been well fed and well lodged at the public aepense. lie has re iI Iceiveci honor and wealth at the the high- I eat office in the gift of roan—and yet what has he done for the natini? It is a clues tion often asked, but never answered. The only things that he can boast of, are the unenviable ones, that he "would foi -1 low in the footsteps of his llitstrittus pre decessor," and that he is "a Northern man with See:here principles." These high chivalrous qualifications, great as they may be, can hardly give him a sat iefactory claim to the Presidency, espe cially when, as a set MT the nation , by his means, has been reduced fame the high. est state of prosperity, to bankruptcy. without even been allowed the benefit ef that alternative, and when her !lunar has been disgraced by his vacillating and pu sallaniennue course on the North Eastern Bourn*. Ile has been chielmagiatrate for more than three years over the first nation on the Globe, with powers practi cally unlimited with a eabinet subject to his nod, a decided majority in both bran ches of Congress, and forty thousand of fice holders ready to laud all his acts, whatever they might be. Acid cum I ask again, what has he done for the nation? defy his most devoted partizans to paint lee to the first act. Should he die to titer row, he would leave a blank in the pages of his country's history. Such is the character of Martin n Buren. God fur id that he ehwild again have in his Fee, ping the destinies of his country. Turn fur one moment to the people's choice. It appear% like sacrilege even to write the name of Harrison with the same pen. Trace him from the tune he enter. ed the army a boy, under Wayne, hav ing all the endearments of civilized life, and willing to toil for his country in an inhospitable wilderness, deprived of eve ry comfort, where life was in hourly clan ger, not only from the 'lndian rifle, but from hut privatioas and hortishipa of an Indian war. Then follow bile in after 'life, as commander-in-chief of the uottn western army. What language can de scribe his aufierings and agony, as he saw his brute companions in arms deprived of every control, with sickness and death lon every breeze, constantly watched by a superior and Indian toe. His noble deeds are written on the brightest page of his country's history, end in the heart of every true American. See him at Tippe canoe, Fort Meigs, end the Thames. See him iu Congress, always on the side of virtue and the true interest of hi country and in every cation of life the poor van's friend. This is the man whom the British Loco Men party would stigmatize as a "coward," a "petticoat chieftain," a sup : f the "black rockatia" party; his latttles underrated acid ridiculed. flow tree is it, that .‘ , ,htel t h e gods wish to destroy, they first make mad." II there is any nr.rkeil and prominent fea t tore over ail others in the American char , utter, it is a love of country, a high and chivalrous regard for her defenders in arms. Thlt. man who ha Fi been willing to oiler his life for her honor and happiness hue never been forgotten by a grateful pen pie. And to who shall no go to learn the true character of General Harrison? Shall we go to the men ot • yesterday, the hireling demagogue of the Loco-tired par. ty, who like their master, never made the first sacrifice for their country? Or shall Iwe go to the Braves of our land, who fought and bled for her honor, and jonp arded their lives for her glory? We offer in evidence the recorded testimony of such men as Shelby. Gains, Johnson, Class • Brady, Tudd, Stockton. Fitzgerald, and a host of others. 1 have endeavored to condense my de fence as much as possible, but have been compelled to go far heyor.d my intentions He who writes on this subject, ends only with the administration. Yours, J. W. BROWN. New Jersey Forever. The Whigs of East Jersey had a meet ing. at New Brunswick last Thursday, to receive home the lase representati....es of the State. Among the many eloquent addresses on that *cession, we notice that of Capt. S•rocs•roie, of the Navy, formerly a leading .Lekson man. We copy it for the benefit of our roaders.—U. 8. Gaz.

That state had been dis honored—dishonored and disgraced ; dis honored by acts of madness-which power alone in. its worst frenzy would inflict, and whatever might be the course of those who ware before him, he for sue was de termined to wipe out the foul blot. Next Ito being horn of Christian parents and educated in a Christian community, next to having had a grandfather and an uncle the signers of the immortal Declaration of Independence, it was his honor and pride to see a Jerseymarn He loved that state r even in her degredation, and he was de termined, whatever should be the issue, to sec her righted ; wherever and when ever the struggle alto , Id be, her name meet and should be respected. He was no political metaphysician. He ehruld leave the discussion of the cause the depression and disaster which had ierzae upon the country to learned men. De was a plain man, and it was enough for him to know that them was distress. lie individually believed that that distiese had arisen from a very simple cause—a great expansion of the currency, and then an immediate contraction. The govern merit had suddenly espanded the curren cy fer the piirpose of stimulating specula tins, and then as suddenly contracted it. These, he believed, were the origin of the distress now upon the country. Those,- for instance, who were connected with agricultural pursnits—farmers and others —had probably, many of them, borrowed of the banks, ten or twelve thousand dol late, and they had received that amount in the Lutes of the banks. Then comes the demand that the banks should pay in specie. How could they redeem in specie, notes for which they had not re ceived the value in specie? Here he tho't was the origin of the whole calamity, He feared that there was often a great mis take made in not discerning sufficiently between the effect and the cause; we had not lacked enough to principles. What had been the whole course pursued by the General Government? A series of acts to outrage, oppress, and afflict the r eople, ',tell they hail cousemmeted their Wanly by this last attack on the rights and inte• rest, the blood-bought privileges of the freemen of New Jersey. was their Indian leer—a war from the tirst begun in iniquity, as it had been conducted iu speculation and stupidity. • What was their Sub•treasury act? he would able! A power which they had found of locking up the treasures of the people—ufsecuring is chests or in a room in the treasury the money of the people, and giving the key to a set of freebooters.

Vriliere heel not distress penetrated? and and where was nut the influeuce of their mix-government felt? They had taken from the poor man his means of subsie. tence—him who toiled the live-lung day for his food —whose labor was his only wealth. They had taken from him the very means by which he eas to live..., They had swelled the Coffers of the rich, and ransacked the cottages of the poor. They had made the rich richer, and the poor poorer. When asked for bread they had given la stone; when asked for relict. they had shaken the ill-gutten geld at the White Hoare before the fates of the rople, and denied the existence of distress; but they had yet to learn a mightier lesson. They had yet to hear a voles from New Jersey; aye, from the whole people roused in their might. A disgrace and dishonor must not rest on the State which owns the soil of Trenton and Monmouth, and the day was fast coining fur her to disenthrall her self from the yoke.

Did you not vote ageing James Madison in 1812?
