LIME.)? COMPL A INT. L,This disease is discovered by a fixes' 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 and becomes sick and trou ble with vomiting.

The principal objects to be kept In view are Ist, to free the stomach and intestines from 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 'static motions of the intestines to their regu larity of health, than by irritating them, to a laborious excitement. there is no medicine better adapted to the completion of this than Day.

John Ruggles.of Maine, not only defines his position, but contains matters worthy the serious consideration of every good citizen: The foregoing considerations involve ample reasons, to my mind, for the total abandonment of Mr. Van Buren, by the Democratic party of Maine, and of the whole Union. The general voice of the country is loud fur a CHANGE. It caa not be for the worse. The people every where are preparing their minds for it. It seems hardly possible that any intelligent man can hesitate as to the result. The election of Gen. Harrison is placed be yond all rational doubt. In the eleva tion to the Presidency, of that illustrious Patriot and Statesman whose wisdom & bravery fill some of the brightest pages of American history, the country will be redeemed from misrule party coreuptioh will be rebuked; popular liberty will be vindicated; party animosities will be ass uaged; the government will be turned back upon those old Jeffersonian, dem ocratic princples from which it has so widely departed: and returning cenfi• dente and prosperity will again gladden the hearts of all. The people will have a President,. Liking from among them selves, and possessing a common sympa thy with them—one Min has al ways min gled with his fellow citizens, farmers and laborers; fought the battles of his cou ntry with them side by side; 'followed the plough with them; end opened to them and to all, the door of km.aiess and hos pitality; and who never knew the destine tions among men, which from sny possi ble necessity, makes a President inacces ible to the people and insensible to their wants and sufferings• In war, though a commanding General, he was the soldiers comrade and shared with him all his hardships and dangers. In peace he has always been the farmers companion ant friend, participating with all classes of his fellow citizens, in the blessings which his own wisdom and labor so largely contri buted to perpetuate.

"And now," says he, "Major, since your friends down East have begun 'the clean.. inie,' I hope they will plough deep, and plant a good winter crop by November." I was asking the Gineral holler even ing, whilst sitting togethtir, and talking over matters, how it was that things went so badly of late years, and why one set of men couldn't govern the country as wolf as onother set of men, Feeing that some folks say "all men arc born equal, in this free co:entry."
