TREATMENT.
The principal objects to be kept In view
are Ist, to free the stomach and intestines
fom offending materials. 2d. to improve
the tame 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
aal those. aperients should be used which
act gently, and rather by soliciting the per
istalic motionsof the intestines to their regu
trio/ of health, than by irritating them to a
1 Motions excitement. flicre is no medicine
better adapted to the completion of this than
Dar. U. P. Haaticies GERMAN APERIENT
Puts. To improve the functions of the de
bilitated organs and invigorate the system
generally, no medicine has ever been so
prominently efficacious as DR. Harlich's

organs to a healthy action, anti re-establish

BRANDRETII'r3 PILLS.—This medicine
is acknowledged to be one of the most va
luable ever discovered, as a purifier of the
Woad and fluids. It is superior to Sarsa
parilla whether as a sudorific or altera
tive, and stands infinitely before all the
preparations and combinations of Mercury
Its purgative properties are alone of in
calculable value, fur these pills may be
taken daily for any period, and instead of
weakening by the cathartic effect,they add
strength by taking away the cause of
weakness. They have none of the miser..
able effects of that deadly . specific Mercu
ry. The teeth are not injured—the bones
and limbs are not pare ly . sed —no; but
instead of these distreesing symptoms,
new life and consequent animation is evi
dent in every movement of the body.
Brandreth's Pills an indeed a universal
remedy; because they cleanse and purify
the blood. Five years this medicine has
been before the public in the 'Lilted States
wherever it has been introduced, it has
superseded all other remedies.

LIVER COMPLAINT.
This disease is discovered by a fixee ob
tuse pain and weight in the right side under
the short ribs; attended with beat, 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 trim•
ble with vomiting. The tongue becomes
rough and black, countenance changes to a
pale or citron color or yellow, like those t af
flicted with jaudice—difficulty of breathing,
disturbed rest, attended with dry caogh, dif
ficulty a laying on the left side—the oody
becomes weak, mnd finally thedisease termi
nates into anotherof a more serious nature,
which in all probability is far beyond the
power of bunion skill. Dr Harlich's com•
pound tonic strengthening and German ape
rient pills, it taken at the commencement of
this disease, will check it, and by continu

Farewell to my twenty five thousand a year:
Farewell to dear "Blair," and Amos to thee;
And farewell to m: ache me of the Subtrea

December, 9, 1840.
Fellow•citizens of the Senate and louse
of Representatives:
Our devout gratitude is due to the Su
preme Being for having graciously con
tinued to tar beloved country, through
the vicisitudes ul another year, the inval
uable blessings of health, plenty an d
peace. Seldom has this favored land
been so generally exempted front the rav
ages of disease, or the labor of the hus
bandman inure amply rewarded; and nev
er uelore have our relations with other
countries been placed on a inure favora
ble basis than that which they so happily
occupy at this critical conjuncture in the
affairs of the world. A rigid and perse
vering abstinence from all interference
with the domestic and political relations
vf other States, alike due to the genius
and distinctive character of our govern
ment and to the principles by which it is
directed; a faithful observance in the
management of our foreign relation, at tile
practice of speaking plainly, dealing just
ly, and requiring truth and justice u► re
turn, as the best conservatives of the
peace of nations; a strict partiality in our
manifestations of friendship, in the com
mercial privileges wt• concede, and those
we require from others; these accompa
nied by a disposition as prompt to main
tairi, in every emergency, our own rights,
its vie are from principle averse to the iu-
vasion of those of others, have given our
country and government a standing in the
great family of nations, of which we have I
just cause to be proud, and the advanta
ge, of which, are experienced by our cit
izens throughout every portion of the
earth to which their enterprising and ad
. venturous spirit may carry them. Few,
if any, remain insensible to the value of
our friendship, or ignorant of the terms
on which it can be acquired, and by
which it can alone be preserved.
A series uf questions of lung standing.

rights of our citizens and the honor of

times apparently insurmountable, have
been overcome, are matters upon which
the people and Government of the Uni
ted States ►nay well congratulate them.
selves. An overflowing Treasury, how•
ever it may be regarded as an evidence
of public prosperity, is seldom conduc
tive to the permanent welfare of any peo
ple; and experience has demonstrated its
incompatibility with the solitary action
of political institutions like these of the
United States Our safest reliance fur
financial efficiency and independence has
oi► the contrary, been found to consist in
jample resources unencumbered with
debt; and in this respect the Federal Gov•
eminent occupies a singularly fortunate
rod truly enviable position.
Whet 1 entered upon the discharge of
my official duties in March, iS37, the
act for the distribution of the surplus rev
enue was in a course of rapid execution.
Nearly twenty eight millions of dollars
of the public moneys were, in pursuance
iTnoi.E No. 26
of ;ts provisions, deposited with the
States in the months of January, April,
and July of that year. In May there oc
curl ed a general suspension of specie pay
'nerds by the banks, including, with very
few exceptions, those in which the pub
lic moneys were deposited, and upon
whose fidelity the Government had unfor.
tuhately made itself dependent fur the
revenues which had been collected form
the people, and were indispensable to the
public service.
This suspension, and the excesses in
banking and commerce out of which it
arose, and which were greatly aggravated
by its occurrrnce, made to a great extent,
unavailable the principal part of the pub
li then on hand ; suspended the
collection of many millions accruing on
merchants' bonds ; and greatly reduced
the revenue arising from customs and
public lands, There effects have main.,
ued to operate, in various degrees, to the
present period; and in addition to the de
crease in the revenue thus produced, two
and a half millions of duties have been
relinquished by two biennial reductions
under the act tit 1833, and probably as
much inure upon the iniportaticn of iron
for railroads by special legislation.
Whilst such has been our condition for
the last four years in relation to revenue,
we have, during the same period, been
subjected to an unavoiduble continuance
of large extraordinary expences necessa
rily growing out of past transactions, and
which could not be immediately arrested
without great prejudice to the public in
terest. Of these, the charge upon the
Treasury in consequence of the Cherokee
treaty alone, without adverting to others
arising out of Indian treaties, has already
exceeded live millions of dollars; that for
the prosecution of measures for the remo
val of the Seminole Indians, which were
found in progress, has been nearly four
t•en millions; and the public buildings
have required the unusual sum of nearly
three mullions.
It affords me, however, great pleasure
to be able to say, that, from the corns
meneentent.of this period to the present
day, every demand upon the Government
at home or abroad, has been promptly met.
This has been done, not only without crer
sting a permanent debt, or a resort to ad
ditional taxation in any form, but in the
midst of a steadily .progressive reduction
of existing burdens urn the people, !eat
' ing still a considerable balance of availa
ble funds which will remain in the 'free.
Bury at the end of the year. The small
amount of Treasury notes not exceeding
four and a halt millions of dollars, still
outstanding, and less by twenty-three
millions then the United States have in
deposite with the States, is composed of
such only as are not yet due, or have not
yet been presented for payment. They
may be redeemed out of the accruing re
venue, it' the expenditures do not exceed
the amount within which they may, it is
thought be kept without prejudice to the
public interest, and the revenue shalt
prove to be as large as may justly be an
ticipated.
Among the reflections arising from the
contemplation of these circumstances, one
not the least gratifying, is the conscious
ness that the Government had the resolu
tion and the ability to adhere, in every
emergency, to the sacred obligations of
law; to execute all its contracts accord
ing to the requirements of the constitu
tion ; and thus to present, when most
needed, a rallying-point by which the bur
siness of the whole country might be
brought back to a safe and unvarying
standard, a result vitally important as well
to the interests as to the morals of the
people. There can surely now be no dif
ference of opinion in regard to the incal
culable evils that would have arisen if the
Government, at that critical moment, had
suffered itself to be deterred from uphold
ing the only true standard of value, either
by the pressure of adverse circumstances
or the violence of unmerited denuncia
ticn. The manner in which the people
sustained the performance of this duty
was highly honorable to their fortitude and
patriotism. It cannot fail to stimulate
their agents to ittlhere, under all circum
stances, to the line of duty ; and to satis
fy them of the safety with which a couree
really right, and demanded by a financial
crisis, may, in a community like ours, be
pursued, however apparently severe its
immediate operation.
The policy of the Federal Government
in extinguishing as rapidly as possible the
national debt, and, subsequently, in re
• sistieg every temptation to create a cow
one, deserves to be regarded in the same
favorable light. Among the many objees
