Conscious of its superiority over every other medicine then in use. I praised it In the most unqualified terme,and thereby pre vailed on a majority of my fellow citizens to test its powers. Subsequent events have shown that I did not exaggerate its virtues. You generously depended on my recommendations, and judging for yourselves, gave the medicine a trial, and found it deserved all my encomiums. It is a source of much gratification to me to reflect that in no one instance where the pills have been pur. chased at my Race street office, have they failed in producing the most beneficial effects; but, on the contrary,they have cured many and relieved all The pleasure arising from the above happy state of things in this city, is much alloyed by the knowledge that this health restoring remedy is counterfeited in every part of the Union. From the New England States to New Orleans, and from St. Louis to the Atlantic, do counterfeiters abound; and to eucli an extent have some of these persons pushed their contemptible calling, that one of the fraternity has an office publicly in Now York,deyotod exclusively to the sale of the coon terfeit article, and another one is abour being opened in Baltimore fur the same vile purpose. Our own good city is, as yet, comparatively free from these heartless impostures. How long it may remain so, depends, my fellow citizens, on you.

PETERS' VEGETABLE PILLS. Aro undoubtedly entitled to distinction, Inas much as many medical practitioners, who have witnessed their efficacy, freely adroit their cura tive powers and pro-eminent virtues; and that they should do so in opposition. to theirpersonal inter est must be attributed to their candor or their un willingness to condemn them in the face of all oh servatlon and the testimony of thousands. The proprietor does not pretend that his Pills will cure all diseases, but ho does say, and has satisfi ed the incredulous that in all diseases where a cathartic or an aperient Medicine Is needed, if used according to the directions for a fair period of time, they will effect a speedy and certain cure, and this much is placed beyond doubt by the tea. timony and referencesot individuals already given to the public. PETERS' VEGETABLE PILLS Are now regarded by those who have had an op portunity to decide upon their merits, as an ines timable PUBLIC BLESSING. Moro than two millions of boxes of these cele. brated Pills have been sold in the United States since January, 1835. Dr. Peters has received upwards of FIFTEEN HUNDRED CERTIFICATES, all given in con. sequence °Effie good done by his medicines; and it will at once be seen by this evidence that no remedy for the prevailing diseeses of the Soother n and Western states has ever been presented to the notice of the afflicted with stronger claims for their attention. Founded upon the surest and soundest of all principles, 1112. actual experiment, those Pills have been wonderfully successful in restoring the sick to health, and in spite of doubts and prejudices, the use of thorn in those parts of the country, which the proprietor has been able' to supply, has been rapidly extending. It is high. ly encouraging to him thatomong the list ofthuse who have been either personally benefitted by thorn, or have witnessed their effects on othersone the names of many of the most respectable and Intelligent men in the South; who have cheerfully given their written testimony to that effect. Without an exception in any ago or country, no Medicine has spread with such rapidity and given such universal satisfaction. Prepared by Jos. Priestly Peters, M. D. No. 129 Liberty street, Now York.

Ho asked "if changes had been mado in order that the patronage of tho Government may flue in it particular channel?

I refer to his Insolvency for whi.t I esteem n perfectly just purpose in tide debut , . We find him brought to Wnehington in 183 , , and employed as the pnblisherser editor of the .

But, Mr. Speaker, the sudden chariest in the foritiges of Mr. Blair, comiecred as he is with Exemitixe patronage, hie single leap from insolvency to wealth, impels me to inquire if "there is trot something rotten 11.

Imitating the exam ple found in the report already alluded to, I may he hest undetstaind by a division of the subject. into a file prominent heads. But in ,the age Drava report, I me "fur from thinking' I shell now - exhaust the itubject;".l shall "havo only ripened it." I prettied to nothing more "at this ti•. o than to lay the foundation of a system, to ! e followed up and complied hereafter" by the people: The prolonged sessions of Congress formed consficilous chapter in the hook of reform. The committee deamificedflie usage as "one of the meat serione evils attending the national legisla tfon of the country;" and, by way of correcting it, recommended "that the' compentaftton of the mew ens, during the first session of each Con- UM:B, be reduced to two dollars per day, from and atter the Roe Monday in April, if Congress should beyond that time." This was the err:rept; now lbr the mecum% Tim sessions of Cmigress an far from heifer shortened, have been prolonged, no reinet4 applied.and the People of the country ou4lit to know that the ger.tlemati from N York, (Mr. CISIDIIELENO,) no early as March, 1830, whet, nnatrumpt was made to car ry into effect the remedy preposed in the report of the committee of which lie was a member, by reducing the pay of members, did himaelfeetuaf ly resist and vote turaitatt the measure. The report alleged that shrines had "taken place from the various and arbitrary manner in which members estimated their mileage.' This abuse was ascertained to have been practised by the reformers themselv e s ; & they have eonfie. ned the practice without any restraint.
