I'd no notion till I seed it, a feller would git so

got to ktiow too much of my own head about the
feller that edits the Compiler, which is a leet/e the
orneriest thing I've seed in creation, to agree to
he an editor. I wonder the lies in it don't rot the
paper all to pothin; and I guess they would if they
mina as sapless as the feller's head in which
• they're bred. When I seed that the major sorter

Extract of a letter front Coteral Jackson to the
Editor of the Globe, doled
BERMITAGF., July 9,1897.
"Now is the Woe to separate the Government from
all banks—receive and disburse the revenue in noth
ing but gold and silver coin-"
and the circulation of oar
coin through all the public disbursements will regu
late the currency for ever hereafter—keep the Gov
ernment free from all embarrassment, whilst it leaves
the commercial community to trade upon its own
capital, and the banks to accommodate it with such
exchange and•credit es best suits their own Interests,
both being money-makingconcerus, devoid of patriot
ism, looking to their own Interests,
regardless of all
other. It has been, and ever will be,.a curse to the
Government to have any entanglement or interest
with either, or more than a general superintending
care of all. But the commercial community hitherto
has been fostered by the Government, to the great
injury of the labor of the country, until the mercantile
aristocracy. combined with the batiks, have assumed
the right to control and manage the Government, as
their particular interest requires, regardless of the
rights of the great democracy of numbers, who they
believe ought to be, and they are determined they
shall be, hewers of wood and drawers of water. 1
repeat, that lam proud to see the firm and noble itand
taken by the Executive Government ou this occasion.
The people arc with it, and will support it trium
phantly.
"The history of the world never has recorded such
base treachery and perfidy as has been committed by
the deposite banks against the Government, and pure
ly with the view of gratifying Biddle and the Barings,
and by the suspefis:Ju of specie payments, degrade,
embarais, mid ruin, if they could, their own country
for the selfish views of making large profits by throw
ing out millions of depreciated paper Upoll the people
—selling their specie at huge premiums, and buying
up their nwn paper at discounts of from 25 to 50 per
cent. and looking forward to be indulged in these
speculations for years to come, before they resume
specie payments."
[Private.] HERMITAGE, July 23, 1837.
Me DRAB Sta: I have just received the Globe of
the 13th,and am pleased to discover front it and other
papers that the democracy are uniting upon the plan
of separating the Government from corporations of all
kinds, and to collect the revenue, keep and disburse
it, by their own agents. This alone can secure safety
to our revenue, and control over issues of paper by
the State banks: This revenue, reduced to the real
wants of the Government. payable in gold and silver
coin, (no credit,) to be disbursed by the Government
in gold and silver, will give us an undeviating me
tallic currency, prevent hereafter overtrading, and
give prosperity to all branches of business; whilst the
banks and the commercial community will be left to
manage their exchanges, : and all matters between
them, in their own way. I hope and trust that the
whole democracy of the whole Union will unite in
adopting these measures, and the democracy of num
hers will never hare antther contest with the aristoc
racy of the few and their paper credit system, upon
which they at present rely to rule the country.
I hope no treasury note, will be issued. The trea
sury drafts upon actual deposit., are constitutional,
and do not partake of paper credits as treasury notes,
which are subject to depredation by the merchants
and banks, and will be, if issued, and the Government
I cannot avoid it. Different must it be with treasury
drafts drawn upon actual deposites: and from the am.
duel of the banks and the merchants, they deserve no
favors from the Government, which they have at
tempted to disgrace, andto destroy its credit, both
at home and abroad. It is the great working class
that deserves protection from the frauds of the banks.
The aladikonian.
cO•A new paper, with the above title, has made
its appearance in Washington City. It supports
Mr. Van Buren's administration, but diars with
the Globe on the subject of Banks, as will be seen
from the following paragraph:—
But we are told that we giye the "go.byl
, to the principles avowed and acted on by'the
late and present addlinistrations." We are
anxious that the public should know wheth
er there is the least possible justification for
this attempt to discredit the Madisonian with
the Republican party. We certainly,to use
the critical phrase, go with General Jack
son in his doctrines of 1828; but we do not
go with the Globe in its ultraism of 1837;
we certainly go with the late and present
administratioe in their opposition to a Na
tional Bank; but we do not gu with the Globe
in the war ofextermination it has been reck-
lessly waging against the State Banks and
the wl•oie credit system. We go with Gen. '
Jackson and Mr. Van Buren in the reform
of the banking system recommended by the
former, more emphatically, in his message
of Dec. 1835, and advocated by the latter in
his letter to Sherrod Williams, but we do
not go with the Globe in denouncing all paper
circulation as rag money, all interested in
banks as rag batons, and edvocating,by im
plication at least, an exclusive metallic cur
rency. We go with the administration in
sustaining a well• regulated mixed currency,
but we do not go with the Globe in stigma
fixing the making of paper money as a theft,
or in considering "paper money of less value
than counterfeit coin. We go with Gen.
Jackson in believing that ""the blessings of
government. life the dews of heaven,should
descend alike upon the rich and the pour;"
but we do not go with the Globe in arraying
the poor against the rich, nor in attempting
to institute parties of debtors and creditors
antagonist to each other. We go with the
state governments in the temporary expedi
ent ofsuspension laws, but we do not go with
the Globe in denouncing them as the cove
binationstif paper money barons to set the
laws at defiance and defraud the poor of their
hard t liming& It seems to us; with all de•
ference, that comparing the bankers in this
state of things to the lords of early times iu
England who were privileged to kill a corn•
miter, and the poor of our country 'to the
commoners of those times who were hanged
or killing rabbits! has a tentionc,y to excite
unworthy prejudices and evil passions. . We
would rather appeal to the intelligence and
understandings of men. We go with the
"principles avowed and acted on by the late
and present administrations" in relation to
our national honor and commercial credit
abroad, bur we do net go with the Globe in
assailing and denouncing American Mer
chants, or. in mocking their broken spirits
and their embarrassments and sufferings, as
the just consequence of sinister designs upon
the country.

GHEECE.—There is a question in Greece
of farming out the revenue, a company of
merchants having offered government 1(10,•
drachmes more than the receipts of lasi
year. The foreign commerce of Greece is

order to encourage the growing trade with
America, the Greek g wernment have put
American vessels on the same footing with
their own, which, in return, enjoy the same
advantage in American ports. The council

CLAIMANT TO THE BRITISH THRONE.-
Capt. John Wood, a paymaster in the Eng

as a natural son of George IV and Queen
Caroline. He says his name is John Guelph
and no mistake. He has been stationed at

is very singular, the captain is thought to
be perfectly sane in his assertions; he speaks
with perfect confidence in his ability to
prove his royal birth, when it shall become
necessary. He is about forty years of age.

to his astonishment and horror that he was

displayed last week, in a Valley, near the

screaming, or fainting away, as many would

country adjacent it has been even . greater.
Since the ,st d.ty of April last, a period of
but little more than three months, eighty odd
buildings,- mostof them neat, and of good
materials, and all comfortable, have been
commenced; thirty.three dwellings of the
above number are already finished and
occupied; forty more rapidly progressing;
and ten warehouses and stores, a church, a
school, and a building (a capitol) for the
accommodatien of the Legislature at its
next session, are also rapidly under way.
The population of the town 'consists of emi
grants from the eastern, middle, and western
States, and of almost every profession and
calling, lawyers, doctors, merchants, me..
ebonies, and farmers. There are eleven
dry goods stores, well supplied with every
article in that line of business, and disposed
of upon reasonable and fair terms; twelve
commission awl groceries; two hotels for
the accommodation of travellers and others,
besides several boarding houses, two apoth•
ecaty shops, one carriage and plough man
ufactory, one saddlery, one bakery, one boot
and shoe maker, one hatter, one silversmith
and watchmaker; one gunsmith, two tailors,
one victualler, and a painter; and there may
perhaps be ether arts and artisans, which
do not now occur to us. We have also here
the Territorial Library, which is creditable
to the Territory, and an ornament to the
. town. For the convenience of the public,
we have a livery stable, and a printing office,
at which is printed a most excellent news•

Rhode Island editors. complain that their
State has furnished no cabinet officers, al
thougli she supplied the nation with a Green
for the revolutionary War, and a Perry. for
the war of 1812. Is not that enough? Must
Rhode Island see her gallant and magnani
mous naval and military men "cui down" to
the "retail politician?" Is she so infected
with the itch of the times as to desire to
have the fame of her past or her future,
Greens and Perrys tarnished with the chi
canery of office-seeking and office-holding?
Does she wish to exchange the glorious
missive "We have met the enemy and they
are ours," for the private note "1 have taken
effective measures to secure the vote of'
Rhode Island, and coubt not but our party
will be successful there?"
Lit Rhode Island add the name of Bur
gess to Green and Perry, and continue the
list with such others as honor the name of
man; but let her not sigh for those "flesh
pots" which must be the price of her slavery
to worse than Egyptian taskmasters. We
have nothing to say here against cabinet
officers, present or past, sufficient unto them
is the evil of their station; but we do say
that the State which can boast as Rhode
Island can, that she was never bought at
that price; ought rather to rejoice in her
purity than to go upon the mountains, like
the daughter of the Gileadite, to mourn the
neglect.
Let individuals and communities remem
ber that the first prayer is, -lead us not into
temptation;" that not being answered, we
may add, "deliver us from evil." We speak
here with the earnestness of heeling, with
the general view of morals as well as of po
litics, which alone can warrant a quotation
from such a source.
Let no one sigh for place. Too many

Therefore,
The undersigued,your memorialists, most
reirctfully lay before your honorable body
their solemn PROTEST and REMON
STRANCE against such annexation,for rea.
sous which they deem sufficient and conch-.
sive,some of which may be stated as follows:
1. It is generally admitted that the insur
rection in Texas has been mainly supported
by adventurers from this republic; and althe'
the independence of the Government which
they have set up has been acknowledged by
that of the United States'', yet the republic of
Mexico has not relinquished its claim to the
territory, and consequently, its annexation
to this confederacy would, in WI probability,
involVe us in a war with Mexico, (if net with ,
other powers also,) for the establishment. of
our right to hold it. •
2. As it'll well known that those who nor ,
assume the authority of government in Tex- .
as have determined to re-esitablish and con
timmuthe system of slavery in that. country,
its annexation would give a preponderaoce
to the slave-holding influence in the councils.
of this republic, and have a tendency to in t
crease and perpetuate the evils of slavery
and the slave-trade, in a manner, and to an
extent, that would be extremely prejudicial
to the general welfare and prosperity of the
nation.
3. Considering ~the various conflicting
views and interests of the inhabitants, in the
different sections of the U. States, we believes
that the harmony and stabilitjg, of the Union
would be endangered by the additina of that
immense territoryiunder any Circumstance: ll / 4
to our present widely extended domain.
For these important reasaia, with Meese
which' we deem it uoneceseter, to putt&

for the admission of Texas into this Unum,

Strictutes, r upturns, and Syphilis in all its stages;
Constipated Bowels, Worms, Scurvy, Itching of
the Skin,King's Evil, and all cutaneous.disorders;
in short', every • complaint to which the human
frame is so direfully subject, under all their varied
forms and names, 'nil the Hygeinn conviction is,
that- MAN IS SUBJECT TO ONLY ONE
REAL DISEASE, that is, to the
IMPURI
TY OF THE BLOOD—fit n which
springs every complaint that can possibly assail
his complicated frame; and that it ia the perpetual
struggle of this vital, pure inseam of life (the gift
of Almighty power) to disencumber itself of Its
viscous acrid humors, with which it has become ,
commixed.
This valuable medicine, being composed only
of liegetable matter;or, medicinal lierbs,aud war.
ranted nn oath as containing not one particle of
meicurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all
of which are uncongenial to the nature of man,
and therefore destructive to the human frame,)
is funnd to be perfectly harmless to the most ten
der age, or e.caliest frame, under every stage of
!lumen suffering, the must pleasant and benign
in its operation, and at the sumo time. the most
certain in searching out the root of every com
plaint, however deep, and of perfOrmieg a cure,
that was ever offered :o the world. This wonder.
ful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to
the patients, by merely swallowing ti certaitinn.n.
her of pills and being culled a few extra tunes to
the purposes of evacuatien, with tho least posablo
sensation of pain, exhaust.on of bodily strength,
and without the fear of catching cold, or attention
to dross, or diet, in any way different from their
accustomed habits.
These pills cure in all cases, and cannot be
taken to excess. Experience, which is the touch
stone of all human knowledge, has long borne
testimony to the fact, and extensive use of them
has already verified Its truth in thin country.
These medicines cure by purging, and yet the
weak, the feeble . , the infirm, and the nervous, the a
delicate, are in few days strengthened by their
operation, because they clear the body of its bad
humors, and invariably produce sound sleep; they_
are the latest and most efficacious medicine to
take to sea, preventing scurvy; costiveness, &c.
The *ration of this mild medicine, which
conveys immediate conviction of its utility, from
the first dose, is as beneficial, to the mind as to the
body, first calming, then curing, all mental de
rangements, eccentricities, nervous affections, ir.
ritabilities, and restlessness,from whatever source
-complaints which have hitherto not. boon prop.
erly understood, as the Elygeists have found them
all tu.preceed 4rom acrimonious humors in the
blood, intVoily for tire present and future
race ol`iiinki,id, discovered a cheap and univor
sal mode of purifying, curing, and preventing.
.The. being cured of any disease, infirmity, or
sore, is now no more a dubious or uncertain pro.
' Vell'arei*triseverance in theltegittable Universal
Medicines will always restore nature 'to her due
course. The literary anc sedentary, of both sexes,
Whose pursuits somuch impair the faculties, will
find 11, kup remedy in the Universal Medicines fur
preserving Ore energy and hnrightliness of the
trnagintition, and improving their houlth,-,old age
-will bo' ittained by the use of them, and passed
frifeTionapuin and infirmities. '
They are not enveloped with the mysteries of
other -medicines; they only require to bo perse
vered in With sufficiently large doses, and the
patient 114111 come off well; when a disease is ob.
stinate,4tients frequently do not take doses largo
enough.: .
'The medicines are comprised in three differ
ent articles only, viz: in two kinds of pills, of
different `strength or power, designated by No. 1
and No. gr the first is a must powerful, but mild
and gentle apporient, or opening medicine, de
taching and partially removing the bilious ropy
humors, whilst the N 0.2 pifirrcarry off those and
the serous acid and putrid humors-incidental to
the body; and act together as a forret in a warren,
never resting until every avenue to the human
frame is thoroughly searched, and cleansed of
its impurities.
The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great
assistance to.patierrs, and facilitate the evacua
tion of bad humors; they soften, cloase, and de.
tech the acrimonious phlegm. are cooling, and
allay the thirst. One, two, or three powders may
be taken throughout (the day, mixed in half a
tumbler of Water.
The pills are sold hi packets atilt, $2 and $3,
and 2.5 and 50cent-boxes—thb two former consist
of three boxes each, viz. one box of No. 1, and two
boxes of No 2—the latter, one large box with a
division; the octwders are in separate boxes at 3771
cents 'each.
87 - In consequence of the repeated solicitations
of the Agents, and for the convenience orate Pub•

The Hygenian Medicines are all imported into

which, they are sold at the same price as in Eng.

merican public; their preeminent success in the
relief of. the afflicted, thousands can testify.
(IXCAUTION.—In consequence of the high
estimation to which Morrieon's Pills are held by
the public, it induced an innumerable host of
unprincipled counterfeiters to attempt imitations
under deceptive tern), thus to delude the unwary,
and foist their nostrum, for the Genuine Hygeian
Medicine; in cunsequeuce of which the Agent
has taken the precautionary measure of having
an Extra Yellow Label fixed on each Packet,
signed by the Agent of each . State and District,
and by their Sublit4ents, in every County; the
imitation of which will subject the forger to the
sevErest punishment the Law can inflict; and it
is further to be noticed, that none of the above
Medicines can be obtained in any Drug Store
throughout the Union; the Drug Stores being the
principal source through which the Counterfeiters
vend their spurious articles.
