This disease is discovered by a fixed ob , Roe pain and weight in the right side under he short ribs; attended with heat, uneasi ess about the pit of the stomach;—there is 1 the right side also a chstension—the patient ' Hies his appetite and becomes sick and trou- Ic with vomiting.

The principal objects to he kept In view are Ist, to free the stomach and intestines f. om offending materials. 2d, to improve the tone of the digestive organs and energy of the system in removing noxious matters from the stomach, and obviating costiveness. Violent drastic purgatives should be avoided and those aperients should be used which act gently, and rather by soliciting the per istalic motions of the intestines to their regu larity of health, than by irritating them to a laborious excitement. Vhere is no medicine better adapted to the completion of this than Dar. 0. P. HARLICH'S GERMAN APERIENT PILLS.

CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA This disease often originates from a hab of overloading or distending the stomach by excessive eating or drinking, or very protrac ted periods of fasting, an indolent or seden tary life, in which no exercise is afforded to the muscular fibres or mental faculties, fear grief, and deep anxiety, taken too frequent ly strong purgingmediclnes, dysentery, mis cart iages, intermittent and syasmodic affec tions of the stomach and bowels; the mo common of the latter causes are late hour, and the too frequent use of spirituos liquor, Nfays , Limit:acne. Those only who know by trial or imanedi ate observation, can form any idea of the ef fects, of the perfect relief, of the almost charm-like cures effected in cases of the Piles Rheumatism, all Swellings, and all external pains, no matter how severe, by the use of Hays' Liniment. Find one who has used it that will not laud it above all things ever used, and you will find—what cannot be found. For the relief of suffering human beings who may be afflicted, 1 beg you to ask—ask of those who know—ask the Hon. Alfred I onklin, U. S. Judge fur that district, residing near Auburn; ask Mathew J• Myers, Esq., Athens, N. Y.; ask Gen. Duff Gteen, late of 1 Washington city, each of these gentlemen know of cases unconquerable by all other re medies or physicians, though tried for many years, that have been cured by the use of the genuine Hays' Liniment. Thousands of other persons know similar cures. We ap peal to their sense of justice—their human feelings. It is but a duty you owe to your suffering fellow-beings to let this great remedy be known. Speak of it then to all your friends. This will save much pain where the newspa pers are not read, or where readers are in credulous, because so many worthless arti cles are advertised for the same purpose. o buyers we say, if all who have used it do not say it is beyond all praise, then do not take it. The proprietor will not allow this article to be paid for finless it cures, when aII the directions are fully followed. Will any one suffering refuse to try it? If he does, he ought to buitied more for his ob stinacy than his suffering. Mr. Hays would never consent to offer this article, were Ile not compelled by his sense of morel—of religicuis duty—to do all in his power for the victims of distress and misery. For this purpose he would sooner• devote a torture, than secure a dollar fur any worth less article. LOOK 0 U T.—Some swindlers have counterfeited this article, and put it up with various devices. no not be imposed upon. One thing only will protect you—it is the name of COMSTOCK & r 0.; that name must be al ways on the wrapper, or you are cheat ed. Do not forget it. Take this direction with you, and test by that, or never buy; for it is impossible for any other to be true or genuine. SOLOMON HAYS.

Yon brooklet, flowing at our feet, With crimson gore did flow When we fought here with Harrison, A long time ago. The river rolls between its banks As when, of oh! we came.

We find in the National Intelligencer, the following remarks upon the situation of affairs, past, present. and future: It any doubt now remained of the issue of the pending National Election, the course and character of the daily lucubra tion@ of the Government paper would go far to remove it. They are the bewilder ed offspring of distracted counsels; an odd jumble—the big and the little, the bold and the timid, the trained hack and the unsophisticated novice of the party. The President himself has not disdained, by elaborate essays in the form of replies to letters from convenient committees, to engage personally in the contest, in which he is personally as well as politically in terested ; but the quality of the compound is scarcely improved even by this new in gredient. _ . On the part of the Administration, nei ther are principles discussed with dignity, nor are its measures or its motives defen• ded with the calmness that belongs to truth. No proper deference is paid to the intelligence of the People, who are the judges of the great questions at issue.-- Cunning, passion, and assumed confi dence are the artillery, great and small, of the defenders of the Administration. When before has a President of the United States ever felt it to be necessary for him to rush, sword in hand, into the midst of the fight? When before was Mr Van Buren ever known to lose his temper even in the hottest of the conflict? When before did he ever doubt the ability of his legions to beat him on to victory? All this straining on his part, as well as the genera; language of the Government press shows a desperation of fear, to an extent hitherto unknown to the history of parties. Did we, when the Administration ofJohn Quincy Adams was on the point of being overthrown, find him, all conscious as he must be of the tremendous power of his right arm, descending from the elevation of his station, and outstripping his most heated partizans in the violence and vin. dictiveness of his war, not only upon the living, but upon the memory of the hon ored dead? Were members of the Cabi net in his day, released pro. tern. from of fice to become the wholesale libellers of all that has been elevated in sentiment and noble in action on the part of his pre decessors and his rivals? And what, after all, has been the effect, upon all reflecting minds, of the exhibi tion of himself which Mr. Van Buren has thought it not unbecoming his station to make before the People? It is perhaps to his credit rather than otherwise, that, whilst his letters prove that he is in great emergencies below the estimate that has been formed of his qualities, they also de monstrate his inability to sustain a bad cause. Every step that he has taken, since the last meeting of Congress, has been false, and the general result will he fatal to his power. Not one difficulty from which he has attempted to escape but has been made worse by the corfusion of his explanations, the fallacy of his rea soning, and the failure of his craft. His great mistake, the fundamental error of the school of politics of which he is the chief, has been playing his part with the common accessories of the mere politician, rather than with the means and the port and bearing of a statesman. He has ha bitually looked upon the People more as credulous and obsequious followers of party dictation, for the benefit of aspiring leaders, than as the sagacious and undis puted Sovereign of the country, whose highest aim and most fervent prayer is for the country's good. He has undervalued the PEOPLE. If, however, in the midst of his present trouble and his waning fortunes, he can find any consolation in being told that he had any inheritance from his predecessor, in men and measures, the weight of which (hanging like a mill-stone round his neck) would have sunk a much stronger man than himself, we assure him, in all einceri ty, that we think so. The great moral elements that are now working his down fall, were to a considerable extent in ope ration before he reached the seat of pow er. He has unwisely provoked them, and the judgment which the People are about to pronounce upon his Administra tion is bnt the necessary consequence of his having done so. [From the National Intelligencer.] LOOK .11111.18.9111. People of America, Look ahead! Seek counsel of the future, and act for the good of yourselves, your children, and your country. If you re-elect Mar tin Van Buren to the Presidency, what do you gain by it? Will he promote any of the great interests upon the success of which the prosperity of the country de pends. Planters and Farmers, Look Ahead! Think you that the policy pursued by Martin Van Buren, if preserved in, will tend to furnish the cultivators of the soil a just reward for their untiring labors. Is it to promote your interest that the price of cotton, tobacco, wheat, flour, wool and the stalled ox is reduced to one-half of what it was two years ago? Will it ben efit you to reduce the prices of what you sell to the standard of prices which pre vail in "hard money Governments?" Laborers, Workingmen, Look Ahead! Can you gain by the re-election of Mr. Van Buren? His doctrine, as put forth and enforced by his party friends, is that wages in this country are too high, that laborers are too well paid, that prices - Should be reduced to an equallity with pri ces in those countries where, by hard la bor, men earn from five to eight pence a day. American freemen, if this be your belief, vote to continue power in the hands of the present Executive. Mechanics, Look Ahead! It power be continued in the hands that now wield it, what are your pros pects? With a deranged currency, pros trate credit, and a wreck of all healthful enterprise, will the promulgation of an e dict for the "collection, safe keeping, and disbursment of the .public moneys" call forth tl.e busy hum of industry in our streets, or bring into action the dormant energial of the dmerican artizan? The great truth enrol veil by Mr. Van Buren i n the course of four years' admin• istration is, that "the peop!e expect too much of the Governmeht;" and the great measure lie has proposed to meet the exi gency of the embarrassment into which the people have fallen is, to collect, and after their own manner to keep and pay away their money. Verily, he has taught them that they have not much to expect from him. Merchants and Traders, Look Ahead! And if y ,u trade on borrowed capital, beware; Mr. Van Buren follows in the footsteps of him who declared that all such ought to break- In submitting himself as a candidate for re-election, Mr. Van Buren specially i it :rinds the judgment of the country up on ;;;,,, past measures and course of policy.' If " , ,se, affecting your interests, have been wise and proper, give him the coun tenance of your names and the weight of youc lufluerice. Men of Business in every depart, ment, Look Ahead! What will be your prospects if the pies eat incumbent be re-elected? Examine the past; reflect. In 1837, when Gener al Jackson surrendered the Government into the Ire.nds of his successor, he decla red the country to be prosperous and hap py. He had indeed, planted the seeds of that bitter fruit we are now reaping, but it was reserved fur him who followed to water and mature the plant. The coun try was free from debt, business was ac tive, and a general prosperity was admit ted to prevail. How is it now? The 'Government is millions in debt. They denounce ;paper money and satisfy their creditors with Treasury not Te. Property of every [description is depreciated, in dustry paralyzed, and business at a stand. These results grow out of flue measures of the Government, and they are but the first fruits of that policy which Mr. Van Buren is pledged to carry out. Men of Business, Friends of your Country, Look Ahead! And consider seriously the interests which are involved in the event of the con test 'which:is now in progress, and ask yourselves whether they can be promoted by the reseleetion of Martin Van Buren!
