THIS valuable Medicine has only been introduced
to the public in various parts of the couutry,aud
hundreds of persons have used it, and found its bene
ficial effects, and 7 out of ten cases have been perma

all those trains of diseases, resulting from a disorder.

of the digestive function, such as general debility or
weakness, flatulency, loss of appelite,sour ernctatione
and acidities of the stomach, costiveness, head ache,
jaundice, flatulent and bilious cholic, &c.
The proprietor does not recommend it ne most pat
cut medicines, as a cure all, and when used is found
wasting, so that the public have got so much deceiv
ed, that they can scarcely be prevailed upon to try
any more, which is not the case with this Balsam of
Health, as hundreds of persons have received the
most happy and good effects, which the proprietor
can prove, if required by the testimony of many res
pectable persons that have been cured of the above
diseases, he has only given the certificates of several
persons below, as it would occupy too much room in
this advertisement to insert all the certiticates,whicb
he has iu his possession—many of which can be seen
in his Directions. which accompany each Bottle.
Certificate of Alicholcm Weaver
This is to certify that I bought of your agent at
Gettysburg, several bottles, of your valuable Balsam
of Health, which completely cured me of the Dys
pepsia. I had taken much of other patent Medicines,
but found no relief, until I made use of your Balsam
of Health, which affected a radical cure, and do re
commend it to all those who are troubled with that
obstinate disorder Dyspepsia.

Cert(ficate of Joe. S. Snapp, Frederick Co. Va.
Mr. John Miller.—Sir—l do hereb. certify-, that I
have been afflicted with Dyspepsia for the last 4 or
5 years, which has been increasing on me ever since
to such a degree. that for the last 3 or 4 weeks previ
ous to using your valuable Garlegant's Balsam of
Health, I am certain I had not eat one ounce a day of
any kind of food,neitbcr was I able to sleep with any
kind of comfort during the time, because of a severe
pain in the stomach. In fact, I had given op myself
as incurable, as I had recourse to so many different
remedies without any benefit. At length I heard of
your Balsam of Health being advertised, and wax in
duced to try it. I accordingly bought one bottle from
your agent, ( Wm. Miller, Winchester ) Ariel-tak
ing the first three doses, I found the stomach to retain
in some 41ecree what I cat, and the pain iu a great
measure subsiding. After using only one and a half
bottles I found myself entirely well, and can now eat
any thing 1 have an inclination for.and can sleep well
at night. It was surprising to see the quantity of mor
bid matter I discharged from my etornach,whiah I am
inclined to believe was coated thick with it,which uo
doubt rendered all diet indigestible. Given under my
hand this Ist day of December, 1836.

PO THE Gerrirentractii STAG AND DANNER
Reflections for the People.
The time is fast approaching when the
people of Pennsylvania will be called on a
gain to exercise one of the most precious
privileges of freemen. The political cam
paign for the Gubernatorial contest has open
ed—the contending parties have taken the
field, and are already engaged in active pre
parations for the day when the dective bat
tle is to bo fought.
As the next election will be one of great
moment to the citizens of Pennsylvania, it
is all important that the principles and mea
sures of the respective candidates, as well as
of the parties with which they are identified,
should be fully made known. This it is ne
cessary to do, in order that we may be en
abled to judge which would, in the event of
being victorious, have for its object the best
interests and prosperity of the Common
wealth, a consummation so desirable that
every individual cannot but feel himself deep
ly niterested.
Joseph Ritner and David R. Porter are
the persons presented to us for our suffrages,
the former is the candidate of the Anti-Van
Buren party—and the latter is the manaround
whom, that hetrogeneous mass, composed
of Sub-Treasury men, Van Bureuites, Loco
Foco'a, agrai ianites, dt.c. &c. have rallie • i
under the tempting dr, delusive name of "De
mocracy" to which they cannot with any
propriety lay the least claim. These then
are the men, and these the parties to which
they belong, whose principles and measures
it becomes every voter to examine.
Joseph Hither ie tried, with his principles
we are all conversant; he has been for near
ly three yearsat the helm ofgovernment and
to say that his acts have redounded to the
welfare of Pennsylvania is but asserting what
his most bitter foes however Eeluctantly,must
admit. His only aim has been to manage
the public affairs in such a way, that all
should ;participate in its prosperity. .
Aud although his adminisitration had to
encounter all the oppbsition which a recklefis
enemy could make, still he has been enabled,
by the powers of a strong and vigorous in
tellect which aro so characteristic of him, to
baffle all their attempts, so that in the end
hi s policy always preVailed—at a time too
when every other state in the Union was feel
ing and smarting' under the mad and ruinous
measures of the General Government.
Every untoward circumstance that could
possibly present itself,was staring in his face
—but ho surmounted them all. In the midst
of universal bankruptcy ho has sustained the
credit and augmented the public faith of
Pennsylvania; surrounded by ruin and dis
tress on every side, she alone has, through
the policy of his measures enjoyed compara
tive prosperity; while the dire calamity was
affecting other parte of the Union and spread
ing its desolation over the fairest portions of
our country, she in a measure remained un
hurt.
Overcoming all opposition to her best in
terests at home, she has at the same time
thwarted the design of foreign influence, di
rected and controlled by the base and sub.
serviant menials of the party in power at
Washington.
Why has Pennsylvania thus prospered?
because she was governed by such a man as
Joseph Ritner and by such principles as have
a tendency to elevate the condition of any
Country if left to take their own course; prin
ciples that are professed and practiced by
the great Whig party,throughout the Union,
and which if dominant would elevate us from
an enslated and fettered, to a free and hap
py people.
This has been the course of Gov. Ritner,
and we have every reason to believe that it
will continue to be so. How can we doubt
this, when every day of his administration
increases the public confidence in his ability,
and gains him the respect and admiration of,
the good and wise throughout the land.
But who is David R. Porter? what are
his principles, or what claims has he upon
the freemen of this Commonwealth? Before
bis nomination but few persons knew of his
existence7no inquiry had gone forth as to
who he was. We are however told that he
was a long time a member of the Legiela.
ture, and that he now holds a seat in the
Senate. But when we examine the Jour.
nals of either House for what he has done
they show us nothing that could distinguish
him or make him conspicuous in any way,
nothing is to be found save the bare record
of his -'yeas" and "nays" and those let me
remark by the way are very rarely seen on
the journal, for he is troubled with a great
propensity of "dodging,"and has never been
known to record his vote, whenever a ques
tion of importance was decided, for if possi
ble he invariably shuns responsibility.
Judging, then from his public life (for his
private transactions will be left for a more
convenient season) he has no fixed princi
ples of action, but is a mere time servingi
tool
Ho has however consented to be the can
didate of the Van Buren party in Pennsyl
vania, and is consequently pledged (if elec
ted) to become the "honored instrument,"
through which that party is to carry out their
obnoxious measures. He is identified with
their principles and will be made to pursue
their policy. His election will be the means
of introducing into the State administration,
the same destructivii measures which are
practiced by the National Administration--
the effects of which are now so severely felt'
by every class ofcitizens in our whole com
munity. Having no principles of his own,
he must adopt those of his party--it matters
not how detestable, or how destructive!
Such are the principles and measures of
the candidates now presented to us for our
suffrages. Can we long hesitate which of
the two to choose? I trust not. Can we
select Porter? Nol we have already had a
surfeit of the mad experiments of the Na.
tional administration. Do we wish for more?
or can any one tope for zumething bowl.
from their hands? thus to hope would be
worse than folly, it would be madness!
That administration which promised so
much and so fair has reduced us to a melan
choly situation indeed, and every successive
day shows but an increased determination
to pursue the same path, to "follow in . the
same footsteps," not content with having
conducted us to the brink of the precipice,
they 1980 M fully resolved to plunge us head.
long into the deep abyss of universal and ir-
rotrievable ruin and destruction that awaits
US below.
But we have it in our power to break the
chains of oppression that are now grinding
us to the dust, and to hurl them at our op
pressors. The only hope, the only hold of
Van Burenism is in Pennsylvania. If we re•
elect Joseph Ritner, Van Buren will be aban
doned to his fate, and Pennsylvania will con.
tinue in her present prosperity—she will go
on rejoicing, the envy of malignant foes and
the delight of anxious friends.
In view of all this, we are impelled by
every motive that can influence an
tened people to take a firm stand. Let us do
so—and the fatal charm that has so long
seduced us from the, paths of felicity and
prosperity will be broken, and broken for
ever! NO LOC() FOCO.
ecit-The severity of the following consists in tho
fact of its coming from a paper not friendly to Anti-
Masonry:
But it may be asked, to what did Gover
nor Ritner allude by the phrase "the base
bowing of the knee to the dark spirit of sla
very?" Ho alluded to the conduct of the re
presentatives in Congress from Pennsylva
nia, who had voted to prostrate the sacred
right of petition, on the subject of abolishing
slavery in the District of Columbia. It will
be borne in mind that it was a representa
tive from Pennsylvania (Mr. Ingersoll) who
offered tho resolution which was adopted,to
appease the South, which denied to the pen•
pie a hearing on this subject!!! It was this
humiliating circumstance which brought
forth the remark,—a circumstance which
placed the blush on the_cheek of many a
Pennsylvania who revered her noble stand on
the subject of freedom from debasing and
cruel slavery. DOOl9 the disapproval of this
humiliating act of the representatives from
Pennsylvania, make a man an abolitionist?
Surely not. Yet the Key Stone,the Volun

In the epecch of Young CROCEITT, of Tonnes
see, upon the memorial of Prencia P. Blair, in re
ference to the public, printing, Mr. CBOCKETT
said:—
Sir, by way of illustrating the baseness
and perfidy of this official editor, I will re
late a trick that ho played off on me at the
commencement of this session. I hope the
fact is not forgotten by the House or the
country that the President tugused to allow
to the printer of this House' ticopy of his
Message under the ordinary injunctions,pri3-
viously to its being read, as was shown by a
correspondence in the Madisonian.soon af
ter. This I then believed, and still believe,
was a low and pitiful manoeuvre of His Ex

the Globe. The consequence was, that the
printer of this House was unable to supply
the Members with the Message until he

of the Extra Globe smuggled in it! Thus

was made to frank to my constituents, for
aught I know, some two or three hundred
prospectuses for the Extra Globe! 1 spoke
of it to several gentlemen, who informed me
that the same trick had been played offupoa
them. Now, air, (said Mr. C.) can any man
believe that a wretch who is , capable ofeuch
smuggling, fraud, and treachery as this,
