Crßelow we give several articles relative to
the recent nominations of the National Democrat
ic Anti-Masonic Convention. From their tone
our friends can judge of the spirit with which the
selections of the Convention have been received,
in our state, by the friends of good government.
Our contracted limits prevent our selections being
more prolix this week. With one or two excep
tions (the editors of which are bigoted Masons,)
the Whig, as well as the Anti-Masonic, presses re
joice at the choice. We have no doubt that the
nomination will bo as cheerfully responded to by
the Whig presses of the other states as of this.
[From the Philade!phia ..National Gaulle," a
Whig paper.]
We publish to day such of the Resolutions
of the Anti-Masonic National Convention,
which recently met in this city, as relate to
general politics. They are temperate and
unexceptionable in tone and sound in doc
trine. They express opinions to which every
opponent of the National Administ ration can
subscribe. They indicate preference in
' which every Whig may acquiesce. W hat
will be the effect of this movement remains
to be seen. For ourselves, we regard it as
the act of a highly respectable portion of
the opposition party of this country, legiti
mately done, and left to have such influence
as it may be entitled to, with such as act on
principle with those who make it. General
Harrison and Mr. Webster are accredited
Whigs, nor can they be made less so by the
preference which another party,acting with
and not against the Whigs, have expressed.
Every Whig press of this city supported
General Harrison at the last contest with
hearty good will, and a vast majority of the
Whigs of the Commonwealth anxiously
hoped for his success. Mr. Webster has
been tho object of the merited and ready
praises of the same presses during all the
recent political convulsions. We see no
reason to change our tone with regard to
these eminent individuals because of their
being nominated, not unexpectedly, by a
portion of our political brethren—brethren
at least in opposition to the principles and
measures of the Administration. It seems
to us that it would be at least decorous to
pause in the expression of regret or reproba
tion until the nominees themselves shall have
expressed their views. We feel and shall
express none. Friendly we are and always
have been to another Whig candidate, but
we have tim much regard for that candidate
to express irritation and uneasiness at a
measure, which, if improper or premature,
can do no harm, and in which, if influential
hereafter on the body whose action we seek
not to anticipate, we are bound and ready to
acquiesce.
From the Cera!s%ille Star, a Whig paper
In our columns will be found the nomi
nations of the Democratic Anti-Masonic
National Convention. WILLIAM HENRY
HARRISON for President, and DANIEL WEB-
ErrEa for Vice President ! Two stronger
names could not be brought before the peo
ple of Pennsylvania, opposed to Van Buren
and his odious Sub= Treasury schemes. The
nominations were unanimous, as was to be
expected ; they will give satisfaction be
yond the sphere in which they originated:
and, while the Anti-Masonic party are dis
posed to go far (as they manifest a disposi
tion therefor) to conciliate, unite and blend
themselves in the great, and greatly impor
tant contest, approaching us, we believe the
Whig party will go as far to meet them.
The time which is to elapse before the ac
tion of the National Convention of 1839, is
favorable to the purpo.e: cool reflection,
conference, and dispassionate estimate of
our blended forces or separate weakness,
will, we trust, produce a union which, like
that of our national Government, cannot be
contemplated in fractions. Snit we would
hope that no hoisting of colors, bandying of
argument, or arbitrary pledges, will be ex
hibited, as they are only calculated to stim
ulate to counter movements, on the part of
those who favor a different course now, but
who are willing,cordially willing, to merge
tho claims of individuals, in favor of the
claims of the nation.

cothlcusctl account of the proceedings of
which will be found in another column. It
give,* us heartfelt pleasure to announce the
ticket formed by this Convention, because
we believe an abler find a better one could
not have been selected. The name of
WILLIAM 11. lIABRISON'is a tower'of
strength—the cause Of our country required
his nomination, and we fervently hope that
other states will respond to it till the cry
shall send dismay to the hearts of our ene
mies, and courage to the friends of correct
principles throughout the land.
Of DANIEL WEBSTER it is unne
cessary for us to speak. His name is known
and honored wherever the voice of Consti
tutional liberty has been heard.
That the candidates nominated at this
Convention will also be nominated by the
Whig National Convention, we have not a
doubt. Under this banner then let us fight
the great battle of Liberty, and may God
defend the right.
From the Philadelphia "Morning Star."
It wall be perceived that we have placed
the names of those distinguished patriots
and statesmen, Ger.eral William Henry Har
rison and Daniel IVebster,at the head of our
Editorial column, as being manifestly the
choice of a vast majority of the W big party
for President and Vico President of the
United States. We nail this flag to our
mast-head, from which it shall nut be taken
until the same authority which now requires
it to be hoisted, shall order it to be struck.
That authority is not worn out politicians,
or caucusers, but the free,unshackled sever•
eign People! To them, and to them only,
do we hold ourselves responsible as Whig
Journalists. They have thus far extended
to us the most substantial•testimonials oft heir
approbation of our course. We do not fear
that a consistent pursuit of the same end,
and by the same means, wall hereafter meet
from them a different reception. For a
brief period the timid may fight shy, the
craven may echo their masters voice, the
mercenary mny cling to the skirts of some
demagogue of temporary influence,the lion•
est admirer of some other distinguished
statesman may repudiate the PEOPLE ' S FLAG,
but time is n prolific another. To the future
we shall look with the utmost confidence in
the result. The few members of the W big
party who may he dissatisfied for a time
bear too much patriotism and intelligence
long to resist the evidences of what course '
it becomes them to pursue. They will soon
learn the utter folly of any attempt to drive
or lead the People from their honest convic
tions.
THE NOMINATION OF HARRISON AND
WEBSTER is a death-blow to the hopes of
the "spoilsmen." They have been assidu
ously labouring for months past to defeat the
accomplishment of this cherished wish of
the People. 'rho bettor to effect this object,
many of them feigned a vast deal of admir
ation for Mr. Clay; were lavish in their
praise of his incomparable talents, oratory,
and statesmanship; and not n few of these
wily and disinterested patriots went even so
far as to pledge themselves to vote for that
distingifished statesman, and yield him their
influence, were the Democrats, kind souls,
only to nominate him. Yes, support him,
that they would, and he should be elected
too, that he should! The veil of hypocrisy
and insincerity was, however, too thin; the
secret of their hearts was to accurately di
vined, and the true motive for this inter.
meddling in other folks matters, so appa•
rent, that none wore deceived by their croak.
legs. The nomination of Mr. Clay once
efrected, these worthies would have laughed
in their sleeve;—chuckled at our gullibility,
and returned to their idolatry and "first
love" again. The Democrats have escap
ed the snare so cunningly laid for them,and
by following the course indicated by the peo
ple, have thwarted the teacherous purposes
of the enemy. They have now in the field
two ofthe strongest men and sternest patriots
in the country; men known to the people,
and beloved by them. Let us be true to
ourselves,and we have nothing to apprehend
from any other quarter It is the policy of
our foes to divi*, in order that they may
conquer. Whilst the Democracy of the
country have so great a stake in the coming
I struggle for the Presidency, let them pre

invincible. More anon [Phil. ill. Star.

Resolutions and Nattonal Conunatees,
Mr. COOPEII from the Committee on Ilesolutions,
reported the following, w hich were unallimouply
adopted
Resolved, That the is ue to be decided
by the people of the United States, at the
['residential election, in 16 , 10, is one of mo
mentous importance, involving n question of
no less magnitude than the subversion of the
liberties of the country, through the power
which the present National Executive is
seeking to concentrate in bis uwn hands, by
the adoption of Sub treasury system,and
other measures of an arbitrary and anti
democratic tendency.
Resolved, That, in view of these attempts
of the Federal Executive, to subvert the
principles of republican government, by sei
zing upon the treasure of the nation, through
the instrumentality of the Sub-treasury
scheme and its kindred projects, it becomes
the imperative duty of every friend of the
country, to exert himself to prevent a con
summation of measures certainly destruc•

tive of the prosperity of the people, if not at

Resolved, That we believe the election of
Gen. William Henry Harrison for the office
of President, and of Daniel Webster for the
office of Vice President of the United States,
are the best means to secure the people a
gainst the adoption of measures so danger

President of the United States, r o have been
governed solely by the desird \ to promote
the general prosperity, and to a'dvanco and

Resolved, That Dat.iel Webster, whose

the Senate of the United States, have earned
for Mtn the proud title of "defender of the

liberties, cannot but be acceptable to the

ONE HAD EFFECT.
Earnest as we were to ensure the re-elec
tion of Mr. Ritnei and the whole ticket con•
'meted with his nomination, and disappoint•
ed as we have felt at the result, we have riot
occupied time or space in our lamentations.
%Vo know that generally "this after-game of
words" is'irksome to the public, and is usu
ally set down as the ebullition of the di.op•
pointed feelings of a sheer partizan. Gen
orally, perhaps, the imputation is rot en
tirely groundless, though in the present case
we might have indulged in regrets without
justly incurttog any such charge. There
is, tinning many causes of disappointment,
one certainly t% hich has in it no touch of
partizanship, no fee'ing of that nature. We
allude to the injury which the cause of c du•
cation will sustain in the loss ol• Mr. Ilur•
rowel the situation of superintendent of pub•
Igo schools, a situation which he has tilled
cx•oficio as the Seel Nary of the Common
wealth. Our tenders know that the [arty
relations of Mr. Burrowes, zealous us I.e
was for the peculiarities ol• his sect, %%ere
not of a kind to create in us much kindness;
but his generous devotion to the cause of
public schools, and fits earnest zeal to se
cure the adoption of the system proposed to
the people, commended him to the grateful
consideration of every friend of the rising
generation in Pennsylvania. The labored
reports which Mr. Burrowes Lis made to
the Legislature, are more frequently the re
suit ol• his perso n al observation, than of any
detail naide to him from the counties and
school districts. Mr. Burrowes went from
district to dist' ict and from school to school,
and Mfused into those whose business it ass
to assist in these public benefits, the spirit
necessary to success. W here the district
refused to accept the law, Mr. B. argued
with influential men, and is just completing
the great work which he undertook. We
peel u freedom to speak thus of Mr. Burrowes
because we cherish a deep and abiding sense
of the benefits which ho has wrought out
for the commonwealth ; and because the
relation in which we stand to each other
renders it impossible for any one to impute
our commendation to any feeling of grati
taupe for favors received, or continuance of
favors given.
The system of public schools in Pennsyl
vania require nt least one superintendent,
who shall devote his time to them, who shall
travel from Erie to Chester, visit every dis
trict and every school, make hinKelf famil
iar with the wants and the success of all,
and report thereon to the Legislature.
Such a person is not easily found. We be
lieve 111 r. Burrowes capable of fulfilling the
duties of the office, with an honor to himself
which should be derived from the benefit
which he confers on others.
We do not know that Mr. B. could be up•
pointed. We doubt oven whether he would
accept such a situation. Perhaps the office
will not be created by the legislature; but
we recollect that in the convention, we
sought to introduce a clause into the consti•
tution of the commonwealth, making it the
du , y of the Legislature to provide for, and
elect, such an officer; and if we mistake
not, men of all parties appeared to think
that Mr. Burrowes would meet the wishes
of the friends of the measure. The propo
sition was not adopted—nay, we scarcely
expected that it would be adopted—but it
was presented to the convention in the belief
that the general approval of the measure
expressed by that body, would commend it
to the early and efficient action of the Leg
islature, which body is competent to estab
lish the office without a constitutional re
quirement. Will they do it? We shall see.

The stone buildings stand on an elevation of
thirty-five or forty loot above the river, with a
rough,rocky shore—the walls are from four to fivo
foot thick, of solid mason work,and they a• e guar
ded by thirteen pieces or cannon. But, notwith
standing all their strength, and the bravery of
the officers and men,we scarcely dare expect any
thing else, than tho next news will be, that they
are all taken.
Ogdensburgh is a scene of groat excitement,
tho whole country about here, is hourly pouring
in its population Into that place; and the bunk of
the Si. Lawrence, through the entire day, is
crowded, by thousands of spectators. Tho crowd

LATER.- A correspondent at Clayton,
Jetierson county, encloses us a proclamation
to the Patriots of Canada, signed "J. Ward
urge, Brigadier General Commanding,
Eastern Division"--post marked "Clayton,
N. Y., Nov. 16." On the back of the letter
is the following brief announcement of the
fate of the Patriot force embodied at Wind
Mill Point, below Prescott:
"The Patriots arc all haled or taken
prisoners, Noe. 18."
STILL LATER.
7'hc Patriot force Utterly Destroyed or
Captured.
Dear Sir—l hasten to give you the latest news,
which Is indeed melancholy. The Patriots havo
until today, fairly held their own ; but to day at
noon, the Cobourg and five other boats, brought
down 800 regular British troops, and some of the •
heaviest cannon in the province. Those added,
to ono thousand militia, wore too much for the
Patriots. They were surrounded by land, and
the steamboats kept up a murderous fire from tho
river. The Patriots fought nobly, but it was Lt
no use; they wore driven back and scattered.
At sunset they hold out a flag of truce, which
though displayed three nines, the British did not
regard; they hod orders GIVE NO QUAR
TER AND TAKE NO PRISONERS!" At this
time two of the houses occupied by tho Patriots
aro burning, and the British regulars are around
the IVind Mill, looking on but not molested.
There is no firing now on either side.
From all appearance the Patriots are totally
routed and annihilated. It is barely possible that
a very few may have escaped, but probably not
one will live to toll the talc.
Tho excitement hero is tremendous, the utmost
indignation prevails against the Patriot officers
and leaders. It is a solemn truth that there was
but one General officer in the action I Had it not
been for such cowardly scoundrels as W

OGDENSBURG, Nov. 16,
From .Texas.
By the steam packet Colutnbia.from Gal
veston,we are in receipt of the Houston Ban
ner of tho 2d, and Telegraph of the 3d of
November. From their columns we have
gleaned n numberof items that will.be found
entertaining.
A "talk" had been held by Gen. R usk and
Col. Horton with Bowles, the Cherokee
chief, the result of which has been, that env
half of the Cherokees are to join Gen. Rusk
in pursuit of fugitive hostiles who recently
gave battle to the General near the Sall
Springs, while the rest of the Cherokees are
to accompany Col. Horton for the purpose
of running the boundary line, comfbrunabl)
to the treaty made with the Cherokee tribe,
by Messrs. Houston, Forbes, and Cameron,
in
_Fehrda ry, I 83tt,
The trouldes en the ea-stern border of Tex
as have, we regret to learn, been revived.--
It appears that, in consequence of a report
which reached Nacogdoches of the murder
of some white timiilies at the Sabine Salt
Springs, about 80 miles from that town,Gen
Rusk, with a force of 200 men, immediately
started in pursuit of the I ndians,and encamp.
ed for the night within 20 miles of the
Spi ings. On the following morning at day
light ho was attacked by a combined Mexi•
can and Indian force, (the hitter consisting
of Kickapons and Boloxies) to the number
of between 200 and 400. The conflict which
ensued, as may be supposed, was not of
very systematic character; and lasted about
an hour, when the enemy, having sustained
a loss of 13 killed, (11 Indians and 2 Mexi
cans) fled in all directions, rendering pursuit
imr.ossible. Gen. Rusk had 11 men wound•
ed, though not dangerously. One of the ix. ,
Mexicans killed is said to be of the fiimily
of Flores, of some prominence in islacogdo
ches. A Cooshata was also found among
the killed. We understand that Gen. Doug•
lass is left in commund of the volunteers,
Gen. Rusk being on his way to the seat of
Government. The Redlanders, from the
spirit and promptness with which they ac
quitted themselves on this occasion, have
proved that they are abundantly adequate to
their oven protection.
On the Western border, also, serious diffi
culties have occurred. Col. Wells, who
reached Houston on the Ist instan , gives the
following startling particulars of an attack
upoa Texian citizens by a party of Cuman
che Indians. It appears that, on the morn•
ing of the 20th ult. one of a camp of Sur
veyors, (five in number,) about seven miles
from Boxer, came,greatly alarmed,into town
with intelligence that their camp had been
attacked by Indians.
THE Monmorrs.—The St. Louis Bulletin
of the 9th says: "There aro various rumors
afloat concerning the surrender of the Mor
mons,and we are afraid that the disturbances
have not terminated so amicably as was re
ported. We have conversed with a gentle-
man who arrived yesterday afternoon from
Jefferson City, on board the St. Peters,and
he states, than an express arrived there on
Wednesday night,bringing intelligence that
a party of Mormons, Who had fortified them
selves in a house wore attacked by the vol
unteers under the command of Gen. Lucas,
and thirty-two of them were killed—seven
of the volunteers wounded and one killed.
It is further stated that the Governor has
issued orders to Gen Clark to retain as many
of the volunteers companies as was neces-
sary, to keep the Mormons prisoners until
the meeting of the Legislature.
We are glad to learn that there is a deter
mination on the part of tho Democratic
Whigs of Pennsylvania, to have a full and
careful investigation before the next Legis
lature of thenmnner,in which the recent
gubernatorial election was conducted and to
expose the numerous and extensive frauds
practised by the friends of David R. Porter.
It is a matter, of comparatively, but little
consequence who is governor of Pennsylva
nia, but it is of the greatest importance that
our elections should he conducted honestly
and that those who fill stations of trust and
honor should be placed there by a majority
of the constitutional voters of the State.—
And every citizen who duly estimates the
right of suffrage and desires to keep our
elections free from fraud and foreign influ
ence, owes it to himself and to his country
to exert his influence to expose every man
who voted illegally, and every Judge, In
specter and Clerk who corruptly received
illegal votes, or did any act,to obtain them.
The friends of Joseph Ritner ought to bear
in mind that although D. R. Porter has nom
inally a majority—yet an investigation may
show a different result.f Reading Journal.
Tim New Orleans Bulletin states thnt
GENL•'RAL GAINES, of the United States Ar
my, has furnished the editor of that paper
with a diagram of a system of Rail-Roads
planned by himself, to extend over the Uni
ted States. The editor says:—"An inspec
tion of the diagram shows Kentucky and
Tennessee to be the centre from which rail
roads branch out to all points of the Union,
connecting for instance, New Orleans with
Portland in Maine; Buffalo and Plattsburgh,
in New York; Detroit, In Michigan; Chica
go, in Illinois; Charleston, in South Caro
line; Fort Gibson, in Arkansas; St. Louis,
in Missouri; and several other points still
further to the Far Nest. The work, says
General Gaines, is designed, in time of war,
to enable us to wield our fighting men, with
their arms and ammunition, from central
011(1 middle Suites to the most vulnerable
points of attack on cur seaboard and inland
border, in one tenth part of the time-and ut
one tenth part of the expense, that move
ments would cost ea ordinary roads. It t,

States together by ligaments, rendered in

country prosperous and happy in peace and

Harrison and Webster.
cyThe reception of the nominations made by
the Convention assembled at l'hiladelilua on the.
I 3th inst. by the great body of the Anti-Van
ren party, is the most enthusiastic. Thly have
been hailed by the prople every e. liere Rilh maid
festations of the highest satisfaction, and havc been
spoken of by the great influential papers of that
party—such as the -National Gazette,"
"Inquirer," oPoulson's Daily Advertiser,"
die most favorable and approving terms.
lliere is some pouting on the port of certain lea
ders Rho have always dictated to the people, and
who have been always beaten fur this reason .
But Gen. HARRISON is the man of the people,
the shout has been raised in favor of the 1.014
Soldier" to the people of Pennsylvania, and it is
already caught up and echoed and re-echoed by
thousands and tens of thousands of their fellow
citizens throughout the Union. The late Conven
tion had not, like most others, to make a public
sentiment favorable to its nominees. It only fol
lowed in the wake of public sentiment, and assem
bled to place before the people, in a formal manner,
those whom they had already most unequivocally
declared to be their choice. For this reason, its
nominations must be popular.
The Presidency and Me
Presidency.
cri The nomination for the above offices made
by the late National Convention meets with the
approbation of all real Democrats. As we expec
ted, a few of the papers edited by Royal Arch Ma
sons, growl and find fault. Grand High Priest
v NoLito, Brother SToN E, HAllrelt &
would prefer their SWUM Brother CLAT. This is
right. Their Oath requires it! Like Jeptha, with
his murderous vow, they keep their Masphersous
oaths, while they treat all their really binding übli l
gations lightly !
These Lodgc.loving Whigs cannot well object
to the fitness of the candidates, but they loot• big
and talk about ".distinctive organization," and
"acting no longer for the benefit of others !"
This is the language of the Chandlers and Dil
lingham and other •'.Royal" dignitaries, who for
get that the object of real Patriots is to act less fur
themselves than for their country.
Some of them Mica to believe that Mr. Wen
s•reu will decline the nomination. The N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser says, he is •'suthorizcd" to
say that Mr. Webster will not accept. We can
not say that he is not "authorized;" but we under
take to say, that he received no such authority
from Mr. Webster.
Now, we assert that we are "authorized" to
say, that neither Mr. HARRISON nor Mr. NV }:11.
STER will decline Ilse nomination. Our readers
will learn by the result which is the best au.
thority.
CO L 'IIALLLT, the renegade Editor of the Boston
Advocate, accuses the Atlas, an able Harrison p a _
per, of attempting to "steal his principles !" This
would be hard to do. If linnet ever possessed any
principles at all, he shook them all otT when ho
went into the Masonic Loco Foco camp and turn
ed traitor to those friends who nursed and warmed
him into being! If the Atlas never "steals prin
ciples" until it steals those of the Advocate man,
it had hotter go to its grave without any.
Strange !

phenomenon will follow the marvellous liberality
displayed by a certain son of Esculapius, at the

Proclamation of .IVentralily.
The Globe of last evenin_ contains a Proclamation,
by the President, to the People of the United States,
in reference to Canada affairs, and to their duties to
wards "a neighboring and friendly nation," which we
hasten to lay before our readers. This is an import
ant document, and is not likely to be without its effect
upon those American citizens who are disposed to
"disturb the peace of the dominions of a friendly na
tion," and to mix themselves up with the Canada
"troubles." The proclamation of the President states
that hostile invasions have been made by citizens of
the United States, in conjunction with Canadians and
others; and that information has reached him that
citizens of the U. States,in different parts of the coun
try are associated or associating, with a view to dis
turb the peaceful relations between the two countries;
and it calls upon every citizen to take care to give no
aid nor countenance to. those who, by their overt acts
against the people or dominions of a Iriendly govern
ment, have lost all title to the protection of their own.
The active interference with the Canada dispute, is
also denounced by the Proclamation. as at once dan
gerous to their own couutry,fatal to those whom they
profess a desire to relieve, and impracticable of result,
without foreign aid.
The issuing of this Proclamation was a high duty
of the Executive, in the actual state of Lor relations
with Great Britain and the Canadas. And having is
sued it, the ccuutry will now expect that the Execu
tive will take instant order for restraining his own
subordinates,
his custom- home officers, tide waiters,
&c. of New York, Irons interfering in this question.

If he cannot do this,hecan at least dismiss them from

FURTHER NEWS FROM CANADA.
A British Government messenger has ar
rived this morning with despatches to go by
the Groat Western. Ito left Montreal on
Monday. The despatches announce the
Capture of eighty Patriots at the surrender
of the Mill, and thirty-two previously, mnk•

they had been sent to Montreal, with Sir
George Arthur's order that they should all
be tried and hanged.—.N. Jour. Com.
FLORIDA.—The hopes which have been for
some time past entertained that the hostile Indians
remaining in Florida would come in of their own
accord, nod iemove from the Territory, have been
suddenly dispelled. An officer of the A riny,whose
means 01 information the Army and Navy Chron
icle says arc equal to env, writes as folloe,s, under
date of TAMPA BA], Nov. 3.
"Within the hist two days, n change has
taken place, and the story now is, that 'the
whites are going to war with the French,
and this will enable us to hold out; hut if this
hope should fail this winter, all will give up
in the spring." Did ,rou ever hear a more
cutirtim.ly devised story, to induce us to sus
pend operations for another six months?"
EXCELLENT 111 out: FOE CUEING BEEF OR
PORK.—We published the following receipt
fur curing Beef and Pork, n year ago, and
as we consider it the very best yet recom
mended,we publish it again, that those who
are fond of clean, pure and sweet meat.
without the least apprehension of its tainting
through the Furnmer, may retain their wish
by adopting it. It is this: To 1 gallon of
water, take I lb. salt, lb. sugar, ) i oz. salt
Petro. In this ratio the pickle to be increas•
ed to any quantity desire d.
Let those be boiled together until all the
dirt from the salt and sugar, (which will not
he a little,) arises to the top and is skimmed
off. Then throw it into a large tub to cool,
and when perfectly cold, pour it over your
beef or pork, to remain the usual time, say
four or five weeks. The meat must he well
covered with the pickle, and should not be
put down for at least two days after killing,
during which time it should be slightly
sprinkled with powdered saltpetre.

for it, it will be tried agaiti,in preference to

"The True Riches of Life is
Health."
‘Vo knew Ihnt health, and Ilia to labor
is the wealth great mass of the people, in this
as in most other countries. To preserve, there
fore, that health by NATURAL 111C4i118, is a grond
moral and political scheme, to fulfil which re•
quires our utmost attention. .
unparollel reputation which Peters' Pills
have acquired as a Medical Bestoratimis the
most unquestionable proof that can ho given of
their immense importance to the afflicted, in ul.
most evory class of diseases. The number of lot
tors received front patients recovering through
their means is really prodigious, nod tho corn
plaints %void' they hove cured aro almost as var
led us they aro numerous. But still there are
HOMO In which they aro mono especially beneficial
than in others; and among those may be named
the too orlon fatal complaints of the stomach and
bowels, such no Cholic, Flatulence, and Indigra
tlOll, for which they aro nut only a certain but un
immediate cure.
It is well known that from the disarrangement
of the stomach and bowels, at ise nine tenths of all
the maladies of adult and declining life: that this
is the foundation of Flatulency, Spasmodic Pains,
Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, &c. and that those
in their turn give birth to Dropsy, Liver Com
plaint, Coinsumplion, and habitual lowness of
spirits; therefore Peters' Pills being the very best
medicine which has over been discovered for the
incipient diseases of the intestines, are nocossari
ly the surest preventives of those dreadful, and al
so general disorders, Which embitter inalure lite,
and drag so many millions to untimely graves.
In speaking thus Dr. Peters arrogates nothing
to himself that has not been conceded by the pub•
tic. He is no needy quack or unknown specula
tor, who comes belbro the world as his own her
ald and witness, but is placed in a resin risibility
of situation by the patronage which he has en.
joyed Ibr years, and which is increasing to an
extent unprecedented in the urinals of medicine,
that makes him careful to assert nothing which
is riot borne out by the most infallible proof, and
hence ho does not fear to be put to test in any
thing which ho has promised respecting his Pills.
Dr. Peters is most Inypy to be able to state, on
the authority of a great number of regular physi•
chins, that wherever his Vegetable Pills have
been introduced, they have almost suporceded the
adoption of morcuroul experiments, for their po•
culler faculty in sweetening the blood, and slim•
elating it to expel all noxious juices, and in giv-
ing strength and tone to the nerves, prevents dia.
ease born acquiring that strength which must be
sot under, if at all, by dangerous remedies.
Prepared by JOS. PRIESTLY PETERS,
M. D. 129 Libenty street, Now York. Each box
contains 40 pills; price 50 cents.
These celebrated Pills are sold by all the prin
cipal Druggists in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Wash
ingtun City, and throughout the United States

physicians throughout the United States has fully
proved the fact t h e , Pott.rs' Vegetable Pills are
the only true Vegetable Pills which will stand
the test of annlyzation ; hence the proprietor
' would most earnestly urge them to the notice of
these who have been in the habit of using, as ca-
thartics or aperients, the destructive and trritat
ting quack pills Bo generally advertised, and
which are at best but slow consumers oldie vital
functions, and murderous agents, oven to the
most halo. It is true, most of them produce a
purgative effect, and sometimes transient relief;
but in most cases they injure the digestive or•
galls, and an habitual resort to them must tormi
nate in confirmed dyspepsia.
It is true that cathartic and aperient medicines
aro often required, but the nicest discrimination
should always he observed in the selection ; and,
if this be done, nothing injurious can result from
their use.
To produco this much desired result, Dr. Po
tars has made it his study for several years, and
fools proud to say ho has succeeded at length far
beyond his expectations. Tho object of his pills
is to suporcodo the necessity °fa frequent rocour.o
to injurious purgativos, and to O'er a medicine
safe, certain, and pleasant in its operation.
