and present to their respective Houses as
the results of their deliberation. To suck

led together once a week or once n month,
as the case may be, to go through the me

part of its essence. A single circumstance,
sliscloied in debate during the late session,
will show how this thing works in practice.
• The Committee of Ways and Means in
:the House of Representatives, it will be re

- Afischarge of a duty'imposed upon it by the
preference to that Committee of a number of
petitions from different parts of the country
in favor of a National Bank,a resolution that
it was inexpedient to establish a National
Bank; and, not content with bringing in that
proposition, they pressed its consideration
supon the House, to the prejudice of other
ibusiness, and 'finally forced a vote upon it,
by means of the previous question. ,In the
4coursg, of the discussion of the resolution, it
appeared, in reply
. to a question from Mr.
ADAMS, that not one of those numerous pet
*films, from respectable bodies of the People,
was ever read in the committee, or brought
.to its view. As these petitions had not been
tread when presented in the House, being
referred, without reading,to the Committee,
-and were not rcnd,nor even so much as look
ed at, in the Committee, it follows that the
introduction of this resolution, as the result
.of deliberation on those petitions,was a mere
party trick, simultaneously played off in both
Houses of Congresso he result of out-of-cluor
'contrivance, and a contemptible mockery of
- .deliberation and legislation. The same may
be said of nearly every measure reported by
the Financial Committees of both Houses,
at the last Session of Congress.

MURDER Or MR. LOVEJOY.
Tits oxen is nos e! 'The fearless champion of
Equal Rights has ended his earthly struggles. 'rho
enemies of human freedom have glutted their yen
geanco with his blood! Liberty ofspecch and of
the press is completely prostrated in one of the
States called free! Western freemen have be
come the minions of Southern Slaveholders—the
purchased instruments of assassination! And yet
justice slumbers—no measures are taken to con
vict the guilty! Public opinion is dtimb,and dares
not manifest itself! Men cringe and cower like
dogs beneath the lash!
Fellow-Citizens! Fellow Freemen,(for we trust
that the children of Penn are still free!) what say
you to this Or do you regard yourselves as mere
undoncerned spectatoral Harbor not the thought
—it is delusive! Even here in your midst, an at
tempt has been made to stifle free discussion—to
stir up the spirit of mobocracy, and to humble you
at the feet of the 'dark spirit of Slavery!' Why,
the purity of the ermine of Justice itself has been
sullied, by covering the shoulders of one whose
voice in public stirred up the spirit of lawless
violence!
Do not the occurrences of almost every day
force upon us the conviction, that what has been
falsely called African Slavery is really American
Slavery? That the continued slavery of the no
groes will bring about the slavery of the whites!
That if the North would keep free, the South
must become free? That if we would preserve
our own, we must respect the rights of others!—
In one word, that we of the North are deeply, yes
vitally interested in the question of the longer con
tinuance of Slavery!
What, then, is to ho done! Let us speak in
languigo not to be misunderstood. Let us act in a
manner as decided as the emergency demands.—
Let us all rally under the common banner of free
dom, and present an undivided front to the ene
mies of inalienable rights. Agitate, discuss this
subject, until the community is thoroughly en- 1
lightened and aroused. Let the beacon of truth
blaze over the land, and freemen will rally to the
rescue! One MARTYR has just senled his testi
mony with his blood—but, thank Heaven, there
are thousands throughout this land,from Maine to
Missouri, who are. ready to pour out their blood
like water, if the cause demands this sacrifice!
Fellow-Citizens of Adams! Can you do better
than to meet in the Court-house on the Second of
December, and unite with the Anti• Slavery Socie•
ty of this County in expressing your sentiments
upon this deeply interesting subject? We respect
fully submit this question to your consideration.
The Alton Murder.
al-Wo have copied a fe-v extracts from leading
Journals on tho subject of the lawless murder of
Mr. LOVEJOY and attempt to muzzle the press and
gag the mouths of the frsemen of this free land!
We shall continue to do so, from time to time, as
nur limits will allow, that' the Mobocrats of this
county, if there be any, may see the deep and ut
ter detestation in which those are held who either
countenance or encourage Mob Law. It is never
too late to learn—Wisdom!
From the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian
'I'EIE ALTON OUTRAGE.
It is gratifying to observe that the dress
generally speaks as it should in reference to
the late horrible affair at Alton, Illinois; in
which the Bev. Mr. Lovejoy lost his life.—
The country might have been spared the
disgrace of that ferocious and bloody trans
action, had it not been for an apathy which
must be regarded as criminal, both on the
part of our journalists, and on the part of
those to whom the execution of the laws is
entrusted. If the first displays of the spirit
which led to it—for the disposition to out
rage and violence has been progressive—
had boon reprobated and punished as they
deserved, these crowning acts of bloodshed
might have been prevented. Instead of that,
however, mybbings, seizures of property,
and even Lynchings, were either suffered to
pass with impunity,or were openly applaud
ed and encouraged. The impression was
given that they who entertained and avowed
obnoxious opinions were not entitled to the
protection of the laws, and that to insult; to
plunder, and to maltreat them was an evi-
dence of high patriotic feeling, and of devo
tign to the welfare of the Republic. Under
these circumstances, it was but natural that
the individuals thus made the sport of every
gang of ruffians who thought fit to assail
them, should arm in defence of their rights,
and it was consequence equally natural that
such results should follow as that which now
gives a painful notoriety to the name of Al
ton.
It forms the certain climax to that series
of violence on the same matter which had
previously disgraced the place. After so
many unpunished attempts to muzzle the
press, accompanied by an unchecked des•
'ruction of property, nothing else could be
anticipated but murder, and we trust that
they who have heretofore thought proper to
cheer on the rabh, the unthinking, and the
reckless to every act of guilty outrage, will
profit by the lesson now afforded them. ,
From the Philadelphia Herald & Sentinel
Has it come to this, that a respectable in
telltgent man
_shall stiffbr "martyrdom in
any cause merely because he differs in sen•
timent from the ringleaders of "an infuria
ted and lawless mob?" A re there no laws in
there are, anti this gentleman
had transgressed them, why "not try him by!
these laws?—if he has broken no law (or
whether he had or not) the mob ought not
to have taken the law into their own hands.
It is quite time there was a stop put to these
out•breakings of passion—otherwise, who
will be wife? Editors and Ministers of the
Gospel are peculiarly exposed to this kind
o f attack. Ulm Abolition editor is murder.
ed with impunity to-day—an Anti-Masonic
or a Masonic editor may be murdered to
morrow—a Jackson or Van Buren or a
Whig editor the next; and so it may go oz.
until no man, however pure his principles
or correct his inientionF, may be made to
feel the revenge arm infuriated mob.
The Governor of Pennsylvania in conver
sation on a somewhat similar subject, last
winter,remarked that "in every place u here
a mob ora riot was about to take place, there
are n few individuals who could frown it
down and suppress it, and it is their duty to
do so." Ile was right, and he migla have
went further and suid,t hat it was in the pow
er of the editors of public papers to su ppress
this spirit of violence and this disregard of
all law, human and divine.
if the editors and ministers do not now
raise their voices against these appeals to
brutal and unlawful krce,t hey must prepare
to submit one by oneanitil Me t tonted,opholy
anarchy, shall trample with impunity upon
liberty—upon liberty of the press—liberty
of Speech--liberty of thought and of Devon.
Such conduct ❑s that at Alton, would not
be permitted to pass unpunished in any ()I'
the most despotic governments in Europe—
how much less then shall it he sufThred to
pass unnoticed in a country of liberty and
la ws.
From the Madison (Indiana) Banner
No matter what our feelings may be lo•
wards the abolitionists, we cannot look upon
this allitir in any other light than as reflect
ing, the deepest disgrace upon the participa
tors in it, as well as upon the free institutions
of our country. While we may:believe that•
Mr. L. was obstinate and headstrong in his
course, yet we must acknowledge that he
was doing no more than persevering in the
exercise of a right guaranteed to him by the
Constitution and laws of our country.
The editor of the New York A merican thug
speaks of the death of Mr. Lovejoy in Illinois.
"If this American blood—shed in the de
fence of the freedom of the press, and the
right of every American citizen to think,
speak and print his own honest opinions—
be not signally vindicated by the apprehen
sion and condign punishment of the murder•
ers, our republican institutions, our boasted
freedom, our vaunted safely of property and
life, will becomeoind deserve to become, the
scoff• and derision of the werld."
From the Cincinnati Gazette
Mr. Lovejoy was engaged in asserting his
undoubted constitutional and legal personal
rights —the rights of enjoy ing and protecting
life, liberty, and propel ty. While thus eel
gaged peaceably and quietly,and out of sight
he was assailed,and because he made defence
he was murdered. And now,when sleeping
in his gave, Et ‘ martyr to the free and firm
spirit with which ho stood up in defence of
, the essential practical principles of free gov
ernment and individual liberty, men have
the heart to assail and degrade him. Alas!
the prevailing poison that now produces this
result, is a cancer on the body politic, de
vouring life and corrupting principles! The
high and bloody hand may for a season, for-
bid a just exposi!ion of its dangers—but its
day cometh—None of us know when—nor
do we know when it is appointed we shall.
Yet the day of the one is nut more certain
than the day of the other. We subj7.in the
notices of this deed of death, in several of the
western papers.
nThe following article from the Alba
n) Journal is well written and contains much
wholesome advice. Although coming from
a Whig paper, yet we hope our friends will
profit by U.
From the Albany (N. Y.) Evening Journal
Thc PresidenCy.
Now that tho State Elections are over,we
observe among some of our friends a dispe
-1 sition to agitate the Presidential question.
The reflection that the Whig party now
have the power to elect a President, very
naturally suggests the question, who shall
be the Candidate? A further reflection,how
ever, should, and we trust will, repress the
inquiry. The single aim and duty of the
Whig partyshould be to preserve their
power. To do this we must save the ques
tion of Candidates for President and Vico
President until the fitting time for designat
ing them arrives. We can all act with .
better information and with more effect,en , h•
teen months hence, than noW. The expe
rience of the last three months 'shows how
little we can know of what will be the politi
cal aspect. damn and things, a year hence!
All Presidential nominations, or presenta
tions, or recommendations, at this early day,
must refer to MEN rather than MEASURES.
Ardent partisans whose impatient zeal hur
ries them prematurely into the field, gener
ally subject themselves to the mortification
of defeat. PATIENCE is a high political
virtue. The few who have the wisdom to
practice it are most richly rewarded.
The great, signal, successive, overwhel
ming triumphy which now spangle the
Whig banner,disp!ay the power and efficacy
of UNITED efforts. For the lust four months
we have done - battle—not as the partizans of
WEBSTER, of HARRISON, or of CLAY—but
as the opponents of misrule and corruption.
And what has been accomplished? FOUR
States which gave their Electoral votes to
Van Buren, have been disenthralled! In
THREE States, Whig candidates for Gover
nor have displaced the Van Buren incum
bents! In NINE States, where Elections have
been held, overwhelming majorities are re
corded against the Administration!
And these 'are the fruits of untied exer
tians. These are the results which crown
the effirts cf men defending and protecting
their rights and interests; and maintaining
the institutions of their country.
Shall we now, in full view of the ultimate!
and glorious err:summation of all the 11,TeA
of patriotism, be diverted from the great ob
ject, by the premature discussion of distract.
mg questions? We 'hope and believe not.
For the next year at least, the question of
who is to be President, should not be asked.
Let us, for the next twelve, as we have for
the last six months, exert all our f►cult►es
and unite all our energies,to rescue the State
and National Governments from Loco Foco
and Regency desecration. The whole ques
lion of Presidential Candidates has, by con►-
mon consent, been wisely referred to a Na
to - nd Convention. In the wisdom and pat
riotism of that Conventi o n we a re wi lti ng 1,,
confide. The Deleoates should assembh.
unembarrassed by pledges and instructions
With a view o;' the whole ground—a know
ledge of the characters am l qualifications of
the Candidates, and imbued with the semi
mews of the People, they will 'nuke Norm
nations in accordance with the popular will;
and to such Candidates, the Electors will
give a cordial, zealous, ut,ited and triune
pliant support.
From the National Intolligencer.
ieliolas Diddle, Lsq.
Messrs. Gales cg Seaton: My attention
has just been attracted to an article in the
lotelligencer of this morning, on the subject
of the next Presidency. Whilst I agree
entirely with the prominent point of Ow
article, viz. that it is yet too soon for those
who oppose the ruinous measures of the
National Administration to select a candi
date for the Presidency, I would suvest that
it might tend greatly to insure success to
embrace a wider range in the selection.
I would, therefore, submit the name of Ai
cholas Biddle. Although it is impel ero
tot y to say who he is,yet I may be permitted
to soy of him, that I think there would ho a
peculiar fitness in his selection as the next
President.
Because he is universally acknowledged
to possess great financial ability, when it is
as universally believed that just such talent
will he in great requisition for the next eight
or ten years of our history.
Because he is more universally known
than any man in Americaounl,l thinkovould
rout main! more of the suffrages of the coun
t' y than any man in it, for the rea'sou that
the people do know
Pennsylvania has never yet had either of
the first officers of this republic ciaderred
on an , . of her citizens; and though I am op
posed myself to local prejudices; yet I do
know that many of the citizens of Pennsyl
vania are somewhat sensitive on this point,
and there is no man in the State more ideni
lied with all Pennsylvania interests than Mr.
' Biddle.
I have said that lir. Biddle is esteemed
an able financier: but his talents are not
confined to that subject. He has proved
himself an enlightened legislator, having
been a Senator in the Legislature of Penn
sylvania. Mr. Monroe,late President of the
united States, could measure and appreci•
ate his capacity, and though then a very
young man, and comparatively unknown to
the country at large, selected him for the
station which he has so long filled with such
signal ability and advantage to his country.
In short, Mr. Biddle is the gentleman, the
scholar, the orator, the man of liberal, en
larged, enlightened views on all national
subjects ; his name passes as gold all over
the civilized world; and he would, I think,
be the very best selection which could be
made to promote our country's best inter.
ests; ano,for one, I should willingly confide
the high trust of President in his hands.

DEATII Or• SENATOR KENT.—The fol
lowing article from the National Intelligen
cer, shows that Maryland has lost one of her
great men: •
“With a saddened spirit we have sat down
to announce to our readers the news, whieh
r eached us when this paper was neatly ready
for the press, of the death of Dr. JOSEPH
KENT, the beloved and respected Senator
of the United States from the State of Mary
land, who was killed the morning of the 24th
ult., by a 11111 from his horse, us he was rid
ing over his limn, or in the neighborhood
of it.
We have not the heart, if time allowed
us, now to portray to our readers, in fitting
terms, the public and private virtues which
endeared Governor Kent (so usually called
from his having formerly filled the office of
Governor of his State) to all who knew him.
Of all the world,none of his friends—scarce
ly excepting his wile and his children—can
have more just reason to mourn over his
death than the People of this city, and we
among them, who had ever found in him a
disinterested, last, and faithful friend."
'Phe National Intrillig,encer of Monday
last, closes an admirably written biographi
cal sketch of the late Governor Kent, with
the following notice of his funeral :
"The remains of Dr. KENT were yester
day (Sunday) fiillowed to the grave from the
family residence by his mourning kindred,
and besides a large concourse of his neigh•
bore and friends, by the Officers of the Sen
ate of the United States, and the Mayor,
.the ex-Ilayors,and the Presidents and seve
ral members of both branches of the City
Council of Washington. A body of sincerer
mourners never assembled to celebrate the
funeral obsequiesof a beloved friend,snatch
ed from life in the midst of a career of un
sullied honor, unimpeachable probity, and
widely extended usefulness."

PENNSYLVANIA CANALS. - W 0 learn from
the Harrisburg Telegraph, that the Board
of Canal Commissioners have ordered the
water to be drawn out of the canals on the
sth of Dedember next, for the purpose of
repairs. The navigation on the Pennsylva'
fin canals will theiefore close for the season
on the 6,ortli of December. Another paper
states that a very brisk business is expected
to be done on theie canals in the spring.
The amount of tolls collected on the seve
ral e.mals fir thy! week ending on the I I th
instant, is stated sit $30,637. The tolls on
the several railways, for the same period,
amount to $14,772. The charge for motive
power (furnished by the State on these rail.
roads ) $11,121. Aggregate receipts of
tolls for the week, on canal and railway,
$56,530.
THE Ricci AND POOR.—Commenting on
Gen. Jackson's declaration that "The bless

should descend equally on the rich and the

PUZZLE run LAWIEIIB.—In one of the coun

an opportunity to exercise their ingenuity:

but a quorum of both Houses will be in atten
dance at the Capitol on Monday next, (the
first Monday in December.)
As the organization of the two Houses is
complete and no time will he required either
for the qualification of Members, or the
choice of Officers, it appears probable that
the usage, of the Executive Message to Con

ST. AUGUSTINE, Nov 14.
Sam Jones is now considered the whole
head and front of the Seminole war. Those
who know him represent him a "great ras
cal." Our readers will recollect that some
time last spring after the capitulation of Ali
canopy, seine negroes came in who repor
ted that the Seminoles had deposed Mitano
py, and elected Sam Jones, in his stead. It
is reported that the Micasukies are determin
ed to remain in the country at all hazards.
The Florida returned from Musqutto on
Sunday last.
Brig. Gen. Hernandez and suit came pas
sengers. Twenty-one negroes belonging to
Messrs. Cruger and Debi yster, Maj. Heriot,
and, the Estate of Maj. Woodruff, were bro't
up in the Florida. The negroes state that
a large number of Indians are assembled near
Indian River ready to fight.
Two Indians were brought into town yes
terday who were captured on the west side
of the St. Johns. They confirm the report
of the negroes who were brought from Mos
quito, that the Indians are concentrated and
waiting for a fight. They say they are in
number about two thousand.
STILL LATEE.—The last advices state
that the troops collected at Tampa Bay,
amounting to about 2000 men, had march.
ed into the Indian country. We have little
doubt that the war will be finished this cam
paign, without much opposition on the part
of the Indians.
REV. JOStilio.EC wow.
TO THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE
IT. STATES OF NORTH AMERICA.
Most respected Brethren in the Lord JesuS Christ!
Exceedingly anxious that the principles
of the Gospel should, by the Episcopal
Church,be ii side known among the benigh,—,,,
ted inlinbitaina. of the Eeast, 1 humbly euti;.
mit the following application to your cense
deration.
Abyssinia iiiit . country inhabited by a po
pulation of abouktwo millions of Christians,
atid,one milliou'Of Gala and Shangala, Pa
gans and Mahometans. But it is chiefly to
the Christians I wish to direct and fix your
attention.
The Queen Sheba, horn at Alcurn in
Abyseinnt,:afilieted with a heavy sickness
in her legs, (1 .relate the story as 1 heard it
fronisthe•Abyssinians,) paid a visit to king
SOLOMON, of whose medical skill she had
heard kgreat deal, for the purpose of hear
tug •kris - wisdem, , and getting of her
disease; She remained with Solomon for'se
veral years and returned in company with
the son which she had born to him, whose
name was Menilek; ns both had become
Jews, they established the Jewish religion
in Abyssinia, and there can he no doubt of •
the fact, for they observe the Jewish reit-
L!ion, beside the ehristian„tilf this moment.
Frumentius Salarne,called by the Abyssini
ans, converted them to Christianity—their
form is Episcopal, but the Bishop is never
an Abyssinian, but, a Copt—they send after
the decease of such a Bishop, who called
ilboono by the Abyssinians, to the Patri
arch of the Copts, residing at Cairo, a pre.
sent 016000 dollars,for whim h he c onsecratit's
one of the priests Bishop, who then goes to
Gondar, where he receives every year atom'
:30,000 dollars, actually for doing nothlng
else but ordaiiiinmr some of the Abyssinians na
priests. .k kind-hearted and pious, really
pious and zealous missionary of the Eris‘
copal Church. might do a great deal oegoad
by instructing the youth and preachit.gi—
hitherto nottiim hits hei.n done a trton!
and it is therefore my ardent desire that a
missionary:should go there; the people are
good natured, and would be willing to be
taught as their innocent prejudices are not
attacked.
Meshed, Capital of Khorassdan,is a not h..
er place to which a missionary should be
sent; this city contains about 150,000 in
habitants, and is a celebrated pilgrimage of
Mohlinedans, of the Sheah sect. There
are also about 2000 Jews, very anxious to
converse with Christians about religion. A
w issrmary could easily get R convenor rt
bonse there fur the establishment of a School
and a Chapel, and I have no doubt that the
Persians themselves would send their chit
dren there from all part-,nod also the JeW3.
I would advise the missionary societies to
reennimend their missiim.iries not to take
presents frien the A ssinian Princes, for
those presents are not given by the Prince
himself but extorted from the poor sohj-!cts,
and I have 110 doubt IllUt the cause of Chr is
tianity has been disgraced in Abyssinia by
n certain European, who came there, and
hr~vnrg received an order from the Prince
Oabea, to take a quantity of grain from the
inhabitants of a certain village, and those
inhabitants too poor to comply with the de
mand, the covetous European has put in
irons it poor widow of the village fir not
having given him the quantity of grain , ran•
led to him by the Prince! the A hysiniims
therel:ive mused and hated such Europeans!
A missirmary of your ,•ociety, will therefore
do a great deal of gond, by not only not re•
ceiving such kinds of presents, but also by
feeding the poor as the Rotonn Catholic l ois
sionaries do every where they go. But
whilst hospitality ought to be practised by
the missionary he ought not to entertain
those people with wine; the Abyssinians re•
late of an European who drank wine the
whole of the day, and called the belle has
'rife.
At Saraklts in Toorkestrion, five days
journey from Meshed, a M ission may easily
be established by a Al issiounry, who knows
somethings of medicine and otie at Kleine',
capital of the king of Orgontsh In 7oorfres•
tuna near the Caspian sea; for the Osbek
Tartars are a very good natured people in•
deed. Bakke:a, the capital of the kingdom
of the same name, is another place, where
a Mission would be of the highest itnpor•
lance. 'l'he place contains about 290.000
inhabitants of °Ark Tartars, Taishik, No
guys, Persians, and Affghauns; it is resort•
ed to by all the difrerent nations around it,
of Persians, people of 'rash hand, Cashuwer,
.11 ahore, and Cheeorpoor. the peot•le very
polite, and good natured, and n guest is eon•
sidered us a sacred person, and the:crow
every attention is paid to hitn, as long as he
does no. neddle with the politics of the coon
try.
An American ought to take particular
care nut to preach Republican sentiments at
Bokhara, for if he does, he will only by do
ing so, shut up to himself every door of use
fulness, and procure himself free lodgings
in some dungeon of Bokhara. I took par•
ticular care in inculcating upon the minds
of those Jews who believed in Christ the im
portance °fraying for the king of Bokhara,
and-to be loyal subjects to the existing pow•
er; and to the Republican Toorcomauns in
the desert, I preached respect and regard to
their elders, for though my principles are
in favor of monarchy and aristocracy,l nev
ertheless believe it to be my duty to enforce
upon all obedience and conformity to the
government and laws under which they are
placed! In Cabool, in Alfghanistaunoupdher
missionary station may be erected; for Doost
Mohammed Khan, tile chief of Cahoot is au
intelligent and powerful prince, and the
Afighauns themselves are an hospitable peo
ple.
Cashmer• is another place where thousads
would crowd around the missionary to hear
the message he has to proclaim. Near Cash
meor is a province called Kashgar, in Lit•
tle Tibet, whose king pretends to be a des•
cendant of Alexander the Great. Ho is
- warm friend to Europeans, and would try to
make the stay of au American at Kashgar
in all respects very agreeable. Should two
missionaries be sent out together, not the
least spark of jealousy must subsist between
thorn, for this would render the whole mis
sion contemptible in the eyes of those na•
Lions! Lot none of them assume seni or ity,
but let them go out together as brothers.—
There was none more perfectly free from
-all unholy jealousy than Tiny Fisk and Jo

We saw him this morning, wrapped in a

bodies of his children.
Many other vessels, ste•lm beats, &c. are
more or less damaged,as well as most of the
warehouses on the docks. The loss of prop

in every direction. About twenty five build•

totally destroyed or torn from their founda

Several vessels and steam boats must have
been on the hike, where it was hardly pes•

them off. It was the lust he ever saw of

DISTURBANCES IN CANADA.—The corn
motions in the British Province of Lower
Canada have at length resulted in open in
surrection against the royal government.
ft appears that after many arrests of the
"agitators" had been made at Montreal, a
constable, with 18 members of a volunteer
company as his assistants, was sent out to
St. Johns to arrest Messrs. D' Avignon and
Demaray. Having efi•cted their object,
they were returning, but on their road were
tired on by a party of 200 in a field on the
right, armed with rifle's end muskets and
protected by a high fence. The insurrec
tionists effected a rescue of the prisoners and
the officers were compelled to retire, some of
them wounded. On the next day a consid
erable military force was dispatched from
Montreal, who met several single persons
armed and several bodies of men who how•
ever retired ab the Queen's troops ap
proached. l'he latter succeeded in getting
several prisoners who were placed in
separate confinement at Chambly. These
are our latest accounts from Canada; the
result of these muvements will be looked for
with not a little interest and anxiety by the
citizens of this country. Many of the Can
ada liberals have loft the Province and taken
refuge in our territory. m..stly at Burlington,

LOWELL, Nov. 15, 1836.
Dear Sir—Knowing by experience that every
reference that the afflicted receive of the beneficial
results of medicines, I cheerfully 'offer mine to the
public in behalf of DR. WM. E VANS'S CAM
OMILE PILLS. I have been afflicted for the last
ten years with distress in the bead and chest: often
so bad as to deprive me of sleep for three or fon r
nights in succession, but have never found relio'
by any of my friends' prescriptions, until my win;
saw the advertisements in the paper,when she per
suaded me to send for some, which I did, and ob
tained two boxes and bottles, which resulted in
almost completely restoring me to health, although
I have not yet entirely finished thorn. Should you
consider this any benefit to yourself, or the public,
you have my cheerful permission to publish it.
Yours, respectfully,
THOS. K. GOODHUE, Central st.
Mr. Robert Monroe, Schuylkill,afflicted with the
above distressing malady. Symptoms—great lea
guer. flatulency, disturbed rest, nervous headache,
difficulty of breathing,fightness and 'stricture across
the breast, dizziness, nervous irritability and reat
lessness,could not lie in a horizontal position,with
out the sensation of impending suffocation, palpi
tation of the heart, distressing cough, costiveness,
pain of the stomach, drowsiness, great debility and .
deficiency of the nervous energy. MY. R. Molina
gave up every thought of recovery, and dire de
spair ant on the countenance of every person inter
ested in his existence or happiness, till by accident
ho noticed in a public paper some cures effected
by Dr. Wm. Evans's medicine, in his complaint,
which induced him to purchase a package of the
Pills, which resulted in completely removing eve
ry symptom of his disease. Ho wishes to say his
motive for this declaration is, that those afflicted
with the same or any symptoms similar to tboee
from which ho is happily restored, may likewiso
receive the same inestimable benefit.
PARALYTIC RHEUMATISM.
A perfect cure effected by the treatment of Dr.
William Evans
Mr. John Gibson ofN. 4th street, Williamsburr,
afflicted with the above complaint for three years
and nine months, during which time he had to, use
crutches. His chief symptoms were excruciating
pain in all his joints, but especially in the hips,
shoulder, knees and ankles, an aggravation of the
pains towards night; and for the Tnostpart all times
from external heat, an obvious thickening of the
fascia and ligaments, with a complete Jose of mus
cular power. For the benefit of those afflicted in
a similar manner; Mr. Gibson conceives it meet to
say that the pains have entirely ceased, and that
his joints have completely recovered their natural
tone, and ho feels able to resume his ordinary busi
ness.
