RITNER. AND REFOR)I.—This is the mot
to of our party. We go fe )r. reform throa,h

.:..fortn in every department of the Govern
meet. The party in power, has transform
ed the gimlet-a:nem into a worse than Auge.
an stable, and the people• are now dote- min
ed to purify it in every stall. Nothing short
era complete purification will answer—noth
ing short - of this, - will relieve the people Irma
theintolerable burden of tares & impositions
heaped upon thorn.—Carlisle
The York Republican, a staunch Whig
paper, has raised the bannci for Rimer.—
This is right. Wo do hope and believe,
that, although there may be a little division
of sentiment amongst our brethren of the
press on this subject, we will all be found
moving, with one heart and one mind, for
the "farmer of Washington."
It would be the height of folly in the
tehiga, to take up a man of their own, sepe
rate' from the Anti-Masons, because they
(the Whigs) would never unite on him. It
• must be obvious to every reflecting man,
that to unite upon Mr. Ititner, is prompted
both by policy and interest: and we are
happy to learn, that the whigs oftla3 own-
Ay, so far as we know, (and we have taken
some pains to ascertain their sentiments) are
determined to go for Ritner and no other.—
If we be not successful note, we are unc:one,
—we shall be hereafter divided, and our in
fluence as a patty, lost beyond redemption
for years.--Carlisle Herald.
It will he seen that we have nailed our
banner to the mast-head, and as with a right
good will, wo haul it up to its position, we
greet it with the patriotic stanza:
"Forever float that standard sheet,
Where lives the foe but falls before us,
With freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And freedom's banner waving o'er us."
We are led to take this step by every in
ducement of principle and public duty. 'We
have regarded Jacksonism as the greatest
curse which ever afflicted this nation—we
have looked upon the state administration
'as radically corrupt, and spending the peo
ple's money with the most thriftless extrava
gance on favorites and political intriguers;
and now having a candidate presented to us
whose doctrines of national policy fully co
incide with our own, and who, if elected,
would dislodge the' vermin now feeding on
the body politic and reduce our state govern
ment to order and economy,we shall eng age
heart and hand'in his support .. The domi
maw party, whose only'bond of union has
been the lust of office, having at length quar
relled about their respective shares of the
"spoils," there is now every encouragement
for good citizens,with harmony of sentiment
and concert of action, to combine their ef
forts for the prostration of the common foe,
and'should this determination prevail, am
ass is certain.— York Republican.
The Democrattc Anti-Mcisonic Conven
tion with an unanimity characteristic of the
party, and worthy the important principles
involved, nominated
JOSEPH RITNER,
Tete FARMER OF WAS UV:OTOS COUNTY.
The base expedients resurted to three years
ego to defeat his election, have greatly add
ed to his already extensive claims on the
suffrages of freemen, and we feel ahundautly
satisfied that this renewed evidence of the
confidence of the people in his worth and
eminent fitness for the office, will receive at
the coming polls a recognition that will as
tound the perpetrators of forgery and the
mberners of perjury. His increasing popu
larity is fully manifest from the expression
of public sentiment in every quarter of the
State, and his noinieation will be hailed as
the dawn of that reaeneration in politics to
which the wise and the good have long been
- looking with the deepest solicitude.
We augur success from the harmony that
prevailed in the convention which has again
brought him before the peeple.[Bedfordlnq.
The following is one of the resolutions a
dopted by the late Anti-Masonic Convention,
which placed JOSEPH RITNER, before
the People for 4,43 office of Governor. We
invite the attention of some of our Whig
[we had almost said weak] brethren to its no
ble and patriotic seutiments.[Carlisle Her.
"Resolved, That no man, if Ritner be
elected, need fear for his rights or his lib
erties. He would do violence to all his
former modes , of thinking and actin.", he
would do violence to the sentiments of the
party who now support him, if he would be
spy thing else than emphatically the Gov
ernor of the people of Pennsylvania."

A Wow Co:vvENTION.—We observe
that some of the Whig papers of this State
are busily engaged in fostering a plan which
they have in embryo of calling a convention
ofthe Whig citizens of this Commonwealth.
We hope that the result of their labors will
be as "ridiculous" as that of the mountains
of old. Wherein consists the necessity for
such a measure? If it is intended as a mere
matter of firm, it is useless: this is no time
fir child's play. If the object be the settling
of a IVliig candidate; it is calculated to be
productive of the deepest injury to the best
interests of the State and Nation. Grant
these recusant Whigs all the success which
they can possibly in their wildest extrava
gance imagine, and the result would be just
the withdrawal of so many votes from the
already nominated Anti-Van Buren and
anti-tax candidate as would defeat his elec
tion; and these political enthusiasts would
have the consolation of knowing that by
their means Pennsylvania was cast bound
hand and foot into the arms of the N. York
magician, and that they wore instrumental
in perpetuating the present system ot mis
rule and evtravagance. If the Whig party
did not act on principle—if they had a re
gard only for the ''spoils of victory," then
such a course of conduct might be expected
from them, though even under such eircurn•
stances its policy would be highly question.
able. Now liowever an opportunity is of
fered for the attainment of our great patriot
ic aims and object; and if we act in a man
ner worthy of oar cause, the bondage .in
which we have been held to the dominant
party—a party characterized only by cor
ruption an.' lust of office, will be broken.--
The Plijiadelphia papers have been most
busy in ag tating the convention scheme,
and ursine a cowardly non committal Whio
policy, thus betraying their ignorance of
public sentiment through the interior. The
independent country Whig presses almost
unanimously go for Rituer--the honest and
patriotic members of the party, having only
the food of the Commonwealth at heart,
have already determined to do the same;
and we fearlessly predict that a Whig con
vention having for its object any other
course of action, will be, should it ever as
semble, a most lean and pitiful abortion—a
body without a soul—representatives with
out constituents.
PENNTeLvamrs.—Reforring to the state
of parties in this State, the Baltimore Pa
triot remarks, that "the Jackson Van Buren
party have now, two. very important mea
sures on hand in Pennsylvania. Tho one
is, to so far allay the tempeA which has
been raised by the "Mobiles," against the
Wolfites, as to prevent putting at hazard the
Van Buren electorial ticket of the latter.----
And the other is, to get up,, by Kook or by
crook, another Reform or Whig candidate
tor Governor, to divide the epposition vote
with Ritner, and thus secure Wolfs elec
tion, and by consequence, the State for Van
Buren. We trust our friends, the Whigs
of Pennslivania, will prave themselves both
too enlightened and patriot, to second this
etliat."
The Two and a Half Mil:ion Loan, au
thorised by an act of the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, passed in February 1833, is
as a financial tramaction, perfectly unique
and unparalleled in 'its character. Even
upon the Ece of the documentary evidence
connected with it, it stands alone, exciting
suspicions which it is difficult to. repress,and
meriting censures that it would he criminal
to withliald. But if its SECRET history
could tie once laid bare to the public eye,
and the malign iufluences plainly traced,thut
THE GETTYS

puled generally by the National Republi•
cans, since Gov. Wolf is Identified with
Van Burenism."
We observe that one or two W' hig pa
rers, cart.-.7ipt to hold out the idea that a
Whir , carrhil.uo 14 Governor cidi'd be e
kct...d at the ensuing election! How env
man, invite , the stighte.::t know lcdg:• of the
-trenrih of parties of this state, could come
to such a conclusion, we are utterly al a loss
to divine. If the Whi , r party could, to a
man be rallied on a candidate of their own,
he might,perhaps,obtain 'micas many votes
asJnsephßitner. But ,as at lea RI two. thirds
of the Whig party throughout the state will
vote for the latter. even if a W hig, candidate
could lv induced to accept a nomination
and stand a poll: it may not be difficult to
estimate the probable chance such a one
would have of success.—lbid.
irrirrn RFTNI:IL—This gentleman is a
gain before the public as a candidate for the
office of Governor of this Commonwealth,
an-1 placed there by rho unanimous voice of
the Anti-Masonic State Convention, held in
Harrisburg on the 4th inst. This unanimi
ty is 11,4 only flattering to Mr. [tinier, but
awrers strongly in favor of his_success. It
showsunabated confidence in him, by a par.
tv, which came within three thousand o
(;teetinz him Circe years ago, nod then only
defeateil by base fraud and forgery. His
prospects ofsuccess are good. The people
are with him, and will rally in strength un
der his standard. The flagrant and dis
graceful squabbles between the office-hold
ers and office-hunters of the '-spoils party,"
will open the eyes of all honest men, and
Ants , as plain as the broad glare of day, the
hollow heartedness of their professions.—
"Spoils" are the only objects in view, and
when obtained, they quarrel like robbers in
the division. The people can be no longer
blinded by such empty professions. The
present Democratic or Jackson Masonic
party was well characterized by John Ran
dolph—he said they were actuated by seven
principles, to wit: "the five loaves and two
fishes."—Erie Gazelle.

have operated upon the interests of the so
vereign people of Pennsylvania, to the enor
mous extent of One Hundred Thousand Dol
lay in money, and Four Hundred Thousand
1) Mars in damages and discredit, we should
then have a fair opportunity of estimating
the merits of Many individuals, who are now
playing a distineiliilled part in the politics
of Pennsylvania, as well as those of Govern
or Wolf.
Governor Wolf was authorised by an act
of the Legislature, to borrow Two Millions
and a Half of Dollars, in round numbers.—
Though by no means eminent in the profes
sion to which he belonged, he was yet law
yer enough to know that he could not with
impunity transcend the power given him by
law. Proposals were made according to
notice for the Loan; and the oiler of Dr.
Burden, though unquestionably IRREGULAR,
was ultimately received. In consecpenee
of an agreement made by Dr. Burden, with
S. and Allen, sled the request of Dr.
Burden that the names of S. and M. Allen
might he entered for the Loan, the Secreta
ry of the Commonwealth, wrote to them,
that "he was instructed by Gov. Wolf to in-
Gym them that they would henceforth be
considered as the nommas (not the contrac,
tors) of the Lorin taken by the Hen. Jesse
R. Burden."
It is to be remarked, that the taker o
the Loan no where considers himself dis
charged from the liability he had incurred
to the Conimonwealth. He requested the
names of S. and M. Allen might be entered
for the Loan--not in the place of his own
—and the Governor complied with the re
quest, and infimned S. and M. Allen that it
had been done—hut never indicated, so far
as appears, to the oruzinal taker, that he was
released or discharged from his responsibili•
ty for it.
1. An agent is bound by his instructions,
and if he departs from them, he is himself
responsible. No man in his senses will de
ny this. Governor Wolf W(l9 not authorised
by the act of Legislature to release or dis
charge ony one; he is authorised to borrow,
but not to release or discharge; therefore,
if he did release or dischar. , e the original
taker of the Loan, from his responsibility,
and permitted other persons to become the
holders of it, who have proved insolvent; lie
has rendered himself liable for the whole a
mount of the loss which has accrued to the
Commonwealth—viz: One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars in money, and rill the damages
consequent upon the non fulfilment of the
contract--not less perhaps than Half a Mil
lion in all.
2 He is still more responsible, since it
has re'ver been hinted that the original ta
ker of the Loan was not a solvent man. We
arc therefore authorized to maintain that if
he bad held, him to his contract,and pursued
those vigorous and energetic measures
which he threatened against the holders, S.
& M. Allen, the Commonwealth would have
sustained no loss—but having neglected or
forborne to do this, or having released.
and discharged the original taker, he is him
self responsible.
3. But could Gov. Wolf discharge the
original taker from his responsibility? We
apprehend not. No such power is given in
the act of Assembly; and if it be not there,
it cannot be implied. Gov. TVolf, however,
is plainly in a dilemma. If he discharged
khe original taker, he did it without authori-
ty, and is therefore personally responsible to
the State for the whole loss; if he maintains
that he did not discharge him, then he has
negligently forborne to prosecute him as he
Might to have done, and is equally responsi•
hie. Do the friends of Gov. WUII admit or
deny? If they admit, he is responsible—if
they deny, he is equally so. There is no
escape.
4. But it strikes us, that the Aliens are
to bo looked upon in the light of sureties--
and we have little hesitation in believing
that whenever the cause shall be tried, t hey
will be entitled to a verdict, either upon the
ground that the principal tins not been prose.
cnted, or that he has been discharged with
out their consent.
George Wolf is therefore clearly respon•
sible to the Commonwealth for the enor
mous siim of HALF A MILLION of tito
ney; yet, notwithstanding this starthug fact,
a small knot of Disorganizers, AFTER.
the Democratic Convention had been regu
larly dissolved, and the matter referred hack
to the people—have DARED to nominate
him for the office of Governor of Pennsyl
vania.

TENNESSEE.—A' Convention lately sat in
the capital of Tennessee, for the formation
of a new Constitution. The Convention
completed its labors in due course, and the
work of their hands was submitted to the
qualified voters of the State, for adoption or
rejection, on the sth and 6th inst. The
ballots were cast for the "OLD " or "NEW "
Constitution, according to the preferences
of the voters. Rut few returns of this elec
tion have yet reached us:—the Nashville,
Banner, of the 9th, however, presents the
aggregate of the votes for the old and new
Constitution, in that County, from which it
appears that the old has a majority of 265
votes. In Rutherford County, 6 precincts
gave a Majority of 17 for the "old," and
Williamson County is said to have given a
majority of 904 on the same side. These
are signs that the new Constitution will be

RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIGNS.—FronI a
statistical table then before it, the Salem
Gazette remarks that the denomination of
Catholics in the United States is about 500,-
000, or about one twenty-eighth part dour
population. The Calvinistic Baptists are
numbered at 2,743,453, nearly one sixth of
Our population, on the supposition that the
United States embrace fourteen millions
within their borders. The Methodist Epis
copal Church is set down at 2,00°,000, more
than one-seventh part of our population.—
The Presbyterian General Assembly is es
timated at 1,800,000, or one-eighth of our
populatiou. The Congregational orthodox
are reckoned at 1,200,000, one-twelfth part.
The Protestant Episcopal is rated nt 600,-

about the same as the Catholics.
The Legislative Council of Florida have

The winter we have passed through will
probably long be remembered as one of in
tense severity. It has reminded many of
our aged inhabitants of the winters thirty,
forty and filly years ago, when the ground
was not unfrequently covered with snow for
months. During the last winter the Dela
ware was frozen twice, and fastened with
ice, for a short spell, a third time, a circum
stance unprecedented in the history of Phila.
- delphia, for many years past. Speaking of
the cold weather the Annapolis Republican
says:—
"Talk of old flishioned winters! we'll put
the winter of 1834-5, against the best of
them for an honest downright cold winter.
Let them tell us of a winter in which the
Chesapeake Bay, was three' several times
frozen across as far down as Annapolis—and
once to the very Capee! Let them tell us of
a winter that began earlier or staid longer
—of a winter in which the Very Inst night
of February closed the navigation of the
Patapsco and the Severn!--ofn regular built
North East snow storm as late ns the 7th
March, falling on a solid frosty foundation.

PatrioticAppeal.—Acorresviiletit
of the Boston Courier gives the following re:
port of a most eloquent and patriotic appeal,
made to the Senate on the last night of its
session, in relation to the Three Million
Law, and which appeal was nobly respond
ed to by the Se.iate.
"I did not get up to the Capitol, in sea
son to hear the main speeches. I art ived
in season only to hear the conclusion of Mr.
Webster:s reply, which was grand and soul
stirring, and realized all the descriptions of
the eloquence of the mighty musters of an
tiquity. He rose to call upon the Senate,
in consideration orate hour of the evening,
and the magnitude of the bill, to canoe at
once to the vote. You, must consider it us
now drawing near midnight, and the close
of this momentous session. All without is
dark and silent—within the Senate Cham
ber, fatigue, exhaustation, feverish excite
ment prevail. Hear Mr. Webster, as near
ly as can repeat his words--" Ye s, sir, this
is a great question. Brought upon us sud
denly; only within the last half hour; and
pressed upon us under the assertion of im
pending public danger, under the imposing
popularity of a great military - and political
leader, and summoning to its assistance the
ebullitions an hasty and frothy patriotism,
it is indeed a great question. It is the mo
ment of the turn of the controversy between
unlimited trust and discretion on the one
side, and the security of the Constitution
and the Law on the other. As such a pies.
lion, I meet it, embrace it, and for myself,
decide upon it. - Let us come to the vote.
Let us know and show what, and who, we
are. Inm in the American Senate. Let
us see how this question shall be here de
cided. lam in that body which, at this mo
ment, is behind no assembly of men on earth,
in the confidence and of of the true
lovers of liberty. Sir, I have on this occa
sion something of the feeling—would to
God I had something of the talent—of the
great Roman orator, when ho cried out in
the midst of the Senate, on a matter involv

tions of diplomatic propriety, to the Presi
dent of the Uni'ed States. This girl, (lady,
we believe, is the language of the advertise.

celestial ladies, she went -to tho President's
house and showed herself to the old gentle.
roan for nothing- There is something quite
touching in this gratuitous exhibition of a
young lady's charms. It is placing the
matter upon the right footing. There is
something so mercenary in being looked nt
by a President--for pay! We are afraid,
from the Globe's account of the matter,that
Miss Moy was a little disappointed; for says
the official, "The expectations of the lady
had been raised to a high pitch as to the
magnificence of the 'Yowl ' (Emperor.)—
However, "His kind and courteous manner

pinching their pedals into such outrageous

sensible advice, and from the groat influence
of Gen. Jackson's name in "foreign parts,"
we look for great changes among the orien

General's "strait-forward diplomacy" may
do in converting these benighted heathens
from the enormity: WO are sorry to see no
mention of the "Emperor's" courtiers upon
this august occasion. Afong ought by all
means to have been introduced to the Kitch

done the honors of the Imperial larder, and
served up a boiled bird's nest or two by way

Go see the F:mperor and not look at his

The late winter has been felt with severi
ty in Louisiana. The St. Francisville Journ
al says:— •
"The injury done to the State, by the
severity of the frost, is incalculable. The

if not entirely, destroyed—and it is ques
tionable whether the culture of the cane will
not be entirety abandoned. The orange,
limo, and citron groves nre doubtless cut
down. The fig trees,and till delicate shrub

vegetable gardens are utterly laid waste—
cattle are dying every where around

How TIFF PUBLIC MONEY IS SPENT IFT THE
POST OFFICE AGENTS.—Baninbas Bates,
an agent for the government, was interroga
ted ander oath by tim Post Office Commit
tee--and among many other questions put
to him, and answers returned, we find the
following:
"Q. What do you embrace in the item
of expenses?"
"A. All that I eat end drink myself, and
what I treat my friends to; paying servants
for portage, arc. I kept a regular account
of these expenses at the commencement, for
several months: I found they came to so
much per month, and then I took a certain
sum with me, and when I returned, I took
nn account of what remained, and charged
the rest to expenses!!! I kept a regular dig:
tinct account of steam boat and stage fare.
Sometimes I paid, and sometimes I did not,
hut went free. I cannot recollect where I
did not pay."

Mn. STEVENS' SPE ndn.—We are daily
importuned for the speech of Mr. STEVENS,
and the debate on his resolution, on the :3d
inst. Our friends at a distance, as appears
frum their letters think that the fault lies
with us. To show that we are clear, it is
necessary for us to state the following fact.
Mr. Stevens made numerous references
and quotations from Masonic books, in sup
port of the charges in his preamble, nod of
the truth of the disclosures of Masonry. Im
mediately after he had delivered his speech,
a member of the House, who is n Mason, re
quested the privilege oflookingat the hooks.
it was granted, and he took them to his seat.
After waiting some time for the books to be
returned, Mr. Stevens asked the gentleman
for them, when lo! he said they were lost!
He did not know what had become ofthem!
These honks are rarely to be round at any
time and it is probable that they cannot be
obtained by an Anti-Mason in the State.—
This was known by the Masons, and they
have thus "kidnapped" if not "murdered"
them, to prevent the publication of Mr. Ste
vens' unanswerable speech, and to suppress
the light contained in them. We have
waited some time for the brotherhood to re
turn these books, hoping to be spared the
necessity of exposing such conduct, but in
vain. They are probably "Morganized"
but we assure our renders that ns soon as
the same kind of hooks cnn be procured
from any part of the Union, the speeches will
he forthcoming.-Har. Telegraph.

Wri t DBE inhabitants of thin place aro respectfully
informed, Clint a course of popular Lectures
will ho delivered by Mr. COAD, on the sciences
of General Geography, Magnetism, Astronomy.
and the most interesting parts of Mineralogy and
Geology.
It is by a knowledge of these delightful and
useful sciences, that the human race have got in
possession of the greater portion of the blessings
which they enjoy; there it is tho interest ofall per
sons to avail themselves of every opportunity to
acquire some knowledge of these sciences. With.
out some knowledge of Geography, we would be
in no better situation than the barbarous nations
of the earth, who, for the want of this knowledge.
are sunk into the most extreme ignorance sue
misery. Astronomy gives tho most exalted ideas
to the human Mind, by the visible creation the
Creator himself is made known, even his eternal
power and Godhead. Mineralogy and Geology
discover to us the hidden treasures in the earth
and on its surface, tir the general Übe, knowledge,
and happiness of man. Astronomy points out to
us the immensity and sublimity of the works of
God in the !leavens above; Mineralogy and Geolo
gy clearly show to us 'the great design, the wis
dom, power and goodness of the Creatorrn the va
rious parts of our Globe, which aro admirably
contrived for the use and gratification of its in
habitants. These two sciences also decide the
important question respecting the creation ofkel
world, and its various inhabitants. Mr. Coed is
well furnished with Maps and an
ATMOSPHERIC GLOBE,
Four feet in diameter, a great curiosity, late
ly invented in England, and believed to bo the
first of the kind over exhibited in this country.—
His ORRERY has the SEVEN PLANETS, and
is revolved by a

His TELESCOPE is about 5 feet long,
by which the moons of Jupiter are shown, the
mountains in our moon, and a multitude of Stars,
which never can be seen by the naked eye —these
are some of the most delightful sights that the hu
man eye can behold. His experiments of Mag
netism are highly pleasing and instructive.
A great variety of Minerals will be shown,
and the various uses explained. The Minerals
have been collected from various partaot the world.
A variety of rare curiosities, will also bo shown.
Mr. goad has lectured to highly respectable and:
antes in various parts of the country, with great
success, as may be shown by their recommenda.

are highly worthy of patronage and protection.

and beautiful numbers, conspire to render it anu•
snally attractive to young readers. It is read
with aridity and pleasure: and the object °reduce
tion, 8111 fur as it relates to understanding what is
read, and acquiring at the same time valuable
knowk-dge and an enduring taste for reading, is
better accomplished by this interesting periodical,
than by any other means hitherto attempted.—
Teachers uniformly recommend its use and inn
-penance in the most unequivocal manner, and are
exerting ti.ernselves to increase its circulation.
The introduction of Juvenile Music into the
work will, it is believed, be to parents and teach
ers, one of its highest possible commendations.—
To render this in the greatest-degree useful and
acceptable, we have secured the aid ofono of the
most distinguished masters of the art. Sonia of
the early numbers of the third volume will con
tain a careful description of the most approved
method of teaching the science, giving illustra
tions, dce. &c.
To those -who are yet unacquainted with Par
ley's Magazine, some of the interestinglopics that
it presents, are briefly stated
1. Natural History.—Of beasts, birds, fishes,
reptiles, insects; plants, flowers, tree.--; the huniail
frame, Ace-
11. Biography—Especially of youth.
111. Geography—Accouutsofplaces, manners,
customs, &c. .
IV. History—Particularly of our own country.
V. Voyages, Trawls-1n carious parts of tlO
world.
VI. Lively descriptions of the curiosities of Na.
ture and Art.
VII. Juvenile Music and Poetry—Both adap
ted to the youthful feelings and capacity.
VIII. Lesson: on objects that daily surround
Children in the Parlor, Garden, Nur s er', &c.
IX. Duties of Youth—to parent*, teachers, brc
therß,ststers, &e.
X. Iltbte Lessons and ::7:orics.
XL Narratives—Such as are well aothenticti
ted-0,•-inal Tales
XII. Parables, Fables, and Procerbs, where the
moral is obvious and good.
Many of the sult;ecis are illustrated by beauti
ful engravings, selected not only with a view to
adorn the work, but to improve the taste, cultivate
the mind, and raise the affections. We would
make bettei children, better brothers, better sis
tors, better associates, and, in The end, better
citizens.

PITILADIMPIIIA, Feb., 1835.
Dear Sir,
Your "Panacea" has accomplished a cure
so remarkable, that I feel bound to certify
it. My brother Lucas, about three years
since, was ailictea with a severe attack of
scrofula. II is head was completely covered
with ulcers, so thick and close that they
grew one over the other; and his face and
body were covered also with numerous sores,
he was under the roost judicial medical treat
ment for nine months, without the least a•
mendnient, growing worse'daily, and every
variety of remedy was used, according to
the regular practice of medicine. It was nt
a timo when he was looked upon as incura
ble, that I resolved to procure your "Pana
cea" for him. The effect was quite won
derful. Without any change of his custo
mary diet, three bottles, and about one half
of the fourth, restored him to perfect health.
It is now two years since he was cured; he
remains well, and is as hearty and robust as
any boy of his age in this city.
Yours, respectfully,
%V. L. HIRST.
Mr. WM. SWAIM.

THE PEOPLE'S AND PENNY
Consisting of the American People's Magazine, united
with the Penny Magazine of the London 'Society
for the difiusion of Useful Knowledge.
sIaiXHE present publishers of the People's Maga
zine, being desirous of improving its charac.
ter, and rendering it more deserving of the °sten.
sive patronage which it has received, hove resolv
ed on enlarging its size, by uniting with it the
London Penny Magazine, which they propose to
republish entire, and without alteration. The
general excellence and high reputation oftho Pen
ny Magazine, which is published under the pa.
tronage of the British Society for the Diffusion of
Useful KnOwledge, and of which 200,000 copies
are sold in Great Britain, have induced the pub
lishers of the People's Magazine to adopt this
course, as that in which they can best promote
the interest and moot the wishes . of their numer
ous readers. The articles contained in that work
aro not all equally adapted to the wants and the
taste of the American reader; yet few of them can
be rejected as undeserving attention even on this
side of tho Atlantic. Few adieu) aro on subjects
of mere local interest—politics are excluded—and
discussions of doubtful and disputed questions ere
rarely introduced. The pro 11l ill out subjects aro
striking points of Natural History—accounts of
the Great Works of Art in Sculpture and Paint
! ing—descriptions of such Antiquities as possess
historical interest—personal Nan ntives of Tray
ellers—Biogruphy of men who have had a perma
nent influence on the condition of the world—es
tablished Facts in Statistics and Political Econo.
my—and "other subjects of a like general interest,
accompanied with a groat number of Engravings,.
to illustrate almost every variety of subjects.
These subjects, however, are of course selec
ted with reference to the condition and taste of
the English reader- As a work to be presented
to an American reader, as a general repository of
information and entertainment, it tho most
im
portant and usefUl blanches of knowledge, it may
be rendered more complete en many of the sub
jects of the highest. interest, by the addition pro
posed. acts and
.events relating to this country
—discoveries and IMProve monis of American ori
gin, mid subjects arising out of our peculiar in
stitutions and state of society, must necessarily
be, in a groat measure, excluded from u magazine
particularly adapted to the use of the people of
Great Britain. These deficiencies it is the inten
tion of the publishers to supply in „Ore People's
Magazine, and . this department:of the work, con
sisting chiefly of original articles, will be special
ly designed us a companion to the Penny Mugs,
zinc, with a view of adapting it more fully to the
situation and wants of the American reader. It
will tike cognizance of subjects of Natural Hist°.
ry, originatingon this continent, and nartictilarly,
in our own country—incidents hi American His
tory, American Biography, descriptions of our
great works of Public Improvements, striking
specimens of American Architecture, and useful
discoveries of domestic origin. This portion oi•'
the work will be prepared with care, that it may
be worthy of being received as a companion to
the popular work with which it is now united.
The People's and the Penny Plass/zinc will be '
illustrated with highly fini.hrsd w'ssi sngravings,
and issusit to monthly numbers, containing 64
pages each—the twelve numbers equal . to 2300
pages!! common octavo. Each number NI, ill his
published simultaneously at Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Tho I'.ople's Magazine will also be issued sop.
arately from the Penny, in monthly numbers, of
double the number of pages contained in the pres
ent numbers, enlarged and improved, and each
number neatly put up in a strong cover.
The first number altos People's Will be issued
on the Ist of April next, and it is intended to issue
the twelve numbers in such intervals, as to com
plete the volume by the Ist of January next.
The first number of the Penny, commencing
with a late number of the LondMi cdition,and with
a regular volume, will ho issued in connexion with
the People's, commencing with No. 1., on the let
May next, and the succeeding numbers will op
pear at intervals, so es to complete the volume of
twelve numbers, by the Ist of January next. The
Penny Magazine may be obtained separately from
the People's.
A Specimen of 010 PENNY MAGAZINE is given
with No. 26 of the People's, Either, or all the
previous numbers of both works, supplied at sub
scription price.
Subscribers to the PEOPLE'S MAGAZINE, who
have paid the publishers, and have not received
all the numbers due, can be supplied free of
charge, on application to them, post paid. Also,
all those persons who subscribed and paid the a
gents in Cincinnati, for the first volume, or any
authorized agent, for either volume, shall be sup.
plied with all the deficient numbel s, on applica
tion to the publishers, enclosing a remittance for
the third volume, post paid.
