The duties of the county commissioners and

between the age of TWENTYONE arid
TWENTY-TWO years be assessed; and it

Look at this, Freemen!!!
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That at the time when the Beets of England
plundered our ships, and impressed our sea
men, the thoughts of Martin Van Buren
wore still in favor of peace; thus showing
the inherent cowardice of his nature and
want of sympathy with his sufnring fellow
citizens.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That Martin Van Buren holds the aristo
cratic doctrine, that • Property alone, not
talent, nor usefulnees to society, qualifies a
man to have a voice in the choice of his ru
lers.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE
That Martin Van Buren, asked advice of
the tyrants of petty, rotten dynasties of Eu
rope how to manage the financial afriirs of
this, the only !ice and Republican Govern
ment on earth.
KEEP IT BEFORE' THE PEOPLE,
That Martin Van Buren has confessed, in
his last annual message,
that twenty two
of the despotic Rings AtEmperors of Eu
rope, approved fully of the stib•Treasary
scheme, by which three-fourthii of the peo
ple's earnings will be transferred to the
pockets of the rat:a-holders.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That Martin Van Buren is at this moment,
to all intents and purposes, a monarch—
wanting only the power to prevent the Peo
ple from expressing their disapprobation of
his iniquitous designs.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That, to obtain this power, he is now exer
ting his energies to create a standing army
of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN
—to be used for the purpose of putting down
"combinations,"—or, in other words, "con
ventioni! of the People,—thereby violating
the constitution, which guarantees to all
citizens the right, peaceably to assemble
and take measures to have their grievances
redressed,

AN IMPORTANT ACOE3SION.—Major Ea
ton, the Secretary of the Army under Gen-
Jackson and the biographer of Old Hickory
—the tame Major Eaton who -was appoin•
ted Minister to Spain by General Jackson,
and has always been his bosom friend—has
taken the stump for Old Tippecanoe! The
Uniontown (Pa.) Democrat says:
At a meeting in this place, the Major
frankly stated why he opposed Van Buren
and supported General Harrison. Ho had
served his country for years in the Senate
of the United States, with Harrison, and in
Gen. Jackson's cabinet with Van Buren.—
He knew them both. He knew Gen. Har
rison to be a sound, wise, intelligent, patri
otic statesman, and a democratic republi
can of the safest and best kind, not merely
such by profession, but also by practice—
by education, by habit, by principle. He
spoke of Mr. Van Buren with great pro
priety, saying little of the man, but deci
dedly condemning his policy and measures,
both those adopted and those proposed, es
pecially the Sub-treasury and Standing Ar-
my, and his alliance with Calhoun, for the
purpose of sacrificing the agriculture, corn•
meice and manufactures of nearly the en
tire Union, to gratify the nullifiers of the
South—to buy up to his supprt his late
most bitter and unyielding enemy.
The Major was eloquent and unqualified
in his testimony to the abilities and sound
republican qualifications of Gen. Harrison
for the highest office in the world—which
he declared that of President of the United
States to be; and expressed his decided be
lief in his triumphal election, by the sufFra
ges and acclamations of a free mill' intelli
gent, but much injured people.
He knows Gen. Harrison, and is there
fore for him—he knows Van Buren, and is
therefore against him.
THE RIGHT SPIRIT.—We learn that a
schooner and four men, arrived in the
Schuylkill some dny4 SUMO, from Maine,
with the object of taking in a load of coal.
Finding they Could not get their freight
and return in time to vote, they closed the
hutches of their vessel. putlier in charge of
a friend, and returned home with the object
of nsfiNting the IN big cause. They deserve
the thankP of every Whig in the country.—

We hope our friends every where will vote the
whole ticket, and nothing but the ticket. Our
candidates ore the representatives of the great
principles, which iie at the foundation of National
freedom and national prosperity. 11y voting for
the Standing Army Ticket, or any of the candi
dates upon it, you abandon your principles.—
This we hope you will not do at such a crisis;
particularly when the candidates, presented on
the Harrison ticket, are so greatly superior to
their opponents in capacity and intelligence. Let
every friend of Harrison, then, vote the ticket, the
whole ticket.
Mean and Unmanly.
We observe, in the "Compiler" of lent week, a
communication which well becomes the columns
of that paper. It is a low, dastardly, and abusive
attack upon the ladies of Gettysburg. It could he
the production of none but a rude, vulgar, and
degraded mind, who has seen too little of the world
to have learnt good manners; and who was born
without any natural instinct of decency. Where
such an unlicked cub could have grown to the
size of a human being (if indeed it does stand on
its binder legs) we are at a loss to conjecture.—
Sometimes such vermin have been found gnaw
ing the books of a college; or in the sacred desk,
opining cob webs among the leaves of holy writ.
Whercever lids one exists, ho is a loathsome and
fetid brute. But let him pass with impunity.—
Re would disgrace any punishment, unless per
haps,the cat-o'•nice-tails and whippieg post; and
than we should feel compassion for the poor mal
efactor who was doomed to the degradation of in
flicting the lash upon him.
Geu. Harrison.
It is now rendered certain, that the old veteran
whose name stands at the head of this article will
be elected President of the United States,, as a
email reward for the perils and privations which
he has undergone in defence of his country.—
The shafts 'of detraction and calumny have iallen
harmless at his feet. The slanderers have Von
rebuked;'e in a voice of thunder, by the generous
sons of the West; by the hardy freemen of the
North, arid by the old fashioned democracy of the
South. From every quarter, a voice of iudigna•
Lion has come up, against those who endeavored
to rob the war-worn soldier of his fame, and to
tear a leaf of glory from the history of our coun
try. Yet notwithstanding this, there arc some
whose tongues aro so given to lying and defama
tion, that they cannot refrain, even at the hazzard
of injuring their own party. Such was the ease
with some of those who addressed the meeting at
Baublitz's on Saturday week last. The slanderer
who called Gen. Harrison a coward at that meet
ing, and who designated.:him throughout his.
speech as "General Ivinm," is noted on our tablets.
We have a rod for him. "Ho shell be whipped
with wire, and stewed in brine, smarting in ling
ering pickle."
But the leaden who went to Menallen to abuao
Gen. Harrison and tell the hardy freemen of that
township, that they ought to vote for Iran BUren,
the Sub-Treasury, and a Standing Army of 200,-
000 men, met with the same rebuke that other
slanderorri have received in different
: places. The
people were disgusted with the calumnies and lies
which they uttered; and mistrusting the party
which employed such agents, came out openly on
tho ground and declared themselves in favor of
Gen. Harrison. Will the slanderers deny that
sev;sisl high minded, honorable men left the party
on that occasionl
. Such is the effect of such means. They al
ways, sooner or later, recoil upon'their authors;
and these demagogues might have known, that
the testimony of impartial .history, written botore
Gen. Harrison was a candidate, would not be
discredited or destroyed, by the fabrications of
interested partizans. The children of this gener
ation have read in their school-books, and know
how nobly Gen. Harrison fought for his country.
But they aro wiser, us well as more honest, than
the libellers who would tarnish the fame of their
country to keep a dishonest Administration in
power.
The °Compiler" says that Mr. Cooper has been
twice in the Quarter Sessions “in consequence of
brawls" since his residence in Gettysburg. It is
true; and his friends, instetal of their esteem,
would have visited him with their contempt. if
under the circumstances ho had not done as he
did; and so said the Court itself.
The Federal Loco Foco As-
Ex nihilo, nihilfil—out of nothing, nothing
con be made—that is to say, "you cannot make a
silk purse out or a sow's ear;" or legislators out
of William Taughinbaugh and Henry Roily!!!
Fellow-citizens we now have the Loco faces on
the hip. They are beat, and are: getting- worse
and worse beat. They get thrasinalin every bat
tle, pretty much as Harrison used to thrash the
British and Indians. There is a battle to he
fought in Pennsylvania, and we shall be victori
ous if we try. There is no mistake, when we
fight under the flag of Old Tippecanoe. Let us
cry ,"On them, my boys!" as Harrison did when
he led the last charge upon the red men, at the
battle of Maumee. Shout, "Harrison and close
ranks— down with Loco focoism," and the victo
ry is won and the country saved. Thank God,
our country ie not yet to be delivered over to be
plundered by the Goths and Vandals. .
[l3Announ
Doctor Sheffer and the Pre
emption Jaw.
It was a saying among the ancients, that
"whom God wishes to destroy, ho first makes
mad;" and from many of the lute movements of
the loco focos it would scorn that the whole party
had been afflicted with madness, as the forerunner
of their overthrow. Fur what else than madness
could have induced the Conferees, who nominated
Doctor Sheffer, to recommend him to the people
of this District, boca.ise "he supported the pre
emption bills in Congress"? Is it not a token of
madness in a party to recommend their candidate
for his support of a measure, by which the laws
of the country wore to be outraged and his con
stituents robbed? Such are the 'pro omption bills'
which Doctor Sheffer is applauded for supporting.
The laws of the United States forbid any per
son or persons from seizing upon and occupying
the public lands; yet it appears from the showing
of his own friends, that Dr. Sheffer voted for the
"pre-emption bills," which are no more nor no
lees, than giving a bounty to the squatters and
depredators, who have seized on the public lands,
and violated the laws. But is not only the pre
mium for the violation of law, offered by these
"pre-emption bills," which make them objection.
able. They aro the entering wedge of a system,
by which the .people of the old States aro to be
robbed of their rights to the public lands, for the
benefit of marauders in the now States. Yet Dr.
Sheffer is advocated because ho gave his support
to this system of outrage and plunder.
By these "pro emption lowa," those men, who
in defiance of law, seek out and eieze upon the
choicest sections of the public lands, aro permitted
to take them at the minimum price, in preference
to every other purchaser who may. offer. Titus,
those who violate the law, are given a preference
over the honest citizen who respects the law; and
for his support of a measure, which is an outrage
upon justice, and a robbery of his own constitu
ents, Doctor Sheffer is recommended! If this
is one of the Judge's beat acts of legislation (and
it would seem that it is, as he is commended for
it) heaven defend us from those which are worse!
But although Dr. Sheffer voted for a measure so
much at variance with the interests and policy of
the old States, as well as subversive of public jus
tice and right; we cannot believe that it was in
open disregard of the rights and interests of his
own constituents. We are more charitable than
to suppose so. The Doctor is a good sort of a
man; and no doubt was misled in relation to this
measure. He did not understand its effect—that
it was subversive of public morals, and injurious
to his constituents. Nor do we believe that the
Conferees, who placed the Doctor in nomination,
are bad men, or unfriendly to the interests of their
fellow-citizens; but like him, they lack knowledge
to qualify them to judge of such matters. We
aro extremely sorry that they should have appro
ved of a measure which they did not understand;
but they ought not to be held as rigidly account
able, as if they had erred knowingly. The blind
guide who leads his neighbor into the ditch ie not
so bad, as the one, who having eyes; does the same
thing; therefore, Doctor Sheffer and the Confer
ees having erred through ignorance, are not so
censurable as if they had done so in the face of
knowledge.
Our candidate, Mr. Cooper, is opposed to the
"pre-emption laws;" because they hold out a re
ward to those who violate the law, and are nn in
fringement of the rights of the people of the .old
States. He believes that the public lands are the
property of the people of all the States, and that
the proceeds of the sales of these lands, should be
divided amongst the people of the several states, l
according to their represuntalion in Congress, or
in some oilier equitable manner. By such a dis
tribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public
lands, Pennsylvania would redeye more than one
hundred millions of dollars; a sum sufficient to
pay her immense debt, and free her citizens from
the burthen of taxation from ill limo to come.—

Rouse Freeme'n.
Will the, people of this Congressional Distrlst,
make choice of a representative who is in favor or
this great measure, or of one who is opposed to it?
Mr. Cooper is in favor of this measure; the Van
Buron party are opposed to it, and defeated it.—
Mr. Cooper is also oppna!d,to the Suli-Treasury,
and a Standing Army. Cita Doctor Sheffer's
party say as much?
The most Jackassical production He ever recol
lect, to have seen, is that in the •Compiler," sign•
ed “Judex." It purports to be a review of Mr.
Cooper's speech, on the Sub-Treasury Bill. "in
dex" alledges, substantially, that. he cannot under
stand the deductions drawn from the farts stated
by Mr. Cooper; and verily we believe him, for he
does not seem to understand a much plainer de
duction, which every one draws from his article,
namely; that he love great dunce.

The people of the county would no doubt be
pleased to be made acquainted with the claims of
the candidates, upon the "Low Wage; Standing
Army and Direct Tux Ticket," to the support
of their fellow-citizens. Against the men person
ally, we shall say nothing, except that they are
not qualified to discharge the duties which would
be incumbent on them, if they were elected, a
contingency, to ho sure, about as likely Co happen
as that Martin Van Buren or John C. Calhoun
will turn honest.
What have the men, who compose this ticket,
done to entitle them to the support of an intelli
gent people! Are their political principles such
as ought to recommend thorn?
Doctor Sheffer, represented, or rather misrepre
sented this District for two years in Congress.—
While there, what did ho do to advance the in
terests of the country or of his own constituents?
Did he reflect honor on them by his talents? He
voted for the Sub-Treasury bill ; and the Compi
ler of last week informs us that he voted for the
""pre-emption bills." These are the amount of his
services. Aro they services for which the people
ought to thank him? By voting for the Sub Trea
sury bill, ho voted to reduce the value of property;
the produce raised by the farmer on his farm; to re
duce the price of wages, to destroy every man who
is in debt, and to give the President of his party,the
absolute control of the money of the nation.—
When ho voted for the "pre-emption bills," he
voted to give the marauder, who had seized upon
the public lands, in defiance of law, a preference
over the honest citizen who respected the law;
and to take away from the citizens of the old
States their equal right to the public lands, which
were purchased with their treasure and their
blood. Do any of his party deny any, portion of
our allegations? If they do; we promise for our
candidate, that he will meet them when and where
they will before the people, face to face, to discuss
these momentous questions. -If they accept our
offer, well. If not, it must be taken as a confes
sion that what we have said is so; whiCh it most
surely is. Dr. Sheffer is a party man o f the most
determined character. Of course he is in favor of
suelvmeasures as the leaders of his party recom
mend, and opposed to such as they disapprove.—
Mr. Van Buren recommended, in the most decided
manner, the plan proposed by the Secretary of
War for the organization of a Standing Army, de
ceitfully styled, an organization of the militia.—
Does Dr. ShelTer differ from the President and
Secretary of War on this subject? If he does, it
will be the first time that he over differed from his
party leaders. Mr. Van Buren and the leaders of
his administration are opposed to a Tariff of pro
tective duties. If elected, will the Doctor oppose
the President? Every body knows that he will
not. Ho will stand by his party, though the in
terests of the Commonwealth should he sacrificed.
Mr. Van Buren is opposed to a distribution of the
proceeds of the sales of the public lands amongst
the States. •. So is Doctor Sheffer. And though
the share of the public lands, to which Ponneyl:
cania would
„ he entitled, would amount to, more
titan $100,000,000 and would. pay •the' public
- debt, and free the people of this Cotnnion*eelth
front taxation forever; yet,o (prior kiheffer .would
oppose such a distribution ht:cntnie his party are
trot in favor of it. Under such circumstances is
it the interest of the fanners and thy tax-payers of
the District to vote for him? His opponent is in
favor of this great pleasure of relict; a measure
which would confer More • benefits amt blessings"
on this state than ever were Y - earpcil of by Mr.
Buchanan in his low tvnges philosorby. HP is
also in favor of n protective tariff; but opposed to
low wages, direct taxation and a Standing
Armg.
The next candidate on the Lay Wages, Stand
ing Army and Direct Tux Ticket, is IVilliam
7'aughinbaugh, a bitter federal loco foco, but
who calculates on obtaining a considerable num
ber of Democratic Harrison votes. Upon what
ground he founds his claims we are at a loss to
know. As to capacity, he has about as much ns
his colleague, Mr. Roily; and his clleague, Mr.
Roily, about as much as he has, and both togeth
er but a slender quantum. But it is said, that
"conceit is ns good as n physic," and if this be so,
neither of tho-gentlemen will want that kind of
medicine.

• But what has Mr. Taughinbaugh done for the
people, and further, what is he qualified to do for
they'll Personally, we shall try to avoid saying
any thing against him. It is not our wish to at.
tack the private character of any of our opponents.
Mr. Taughinbnugh is one of the bitterest p wi
zens in the county, and as virulent in his abuso
of Gen. Harrison us a man can be. lie is a re.
jailer of all the miserable, exploded slanders which
falsehood has devised or perjury sworn, against
the reputation of him who periled health and life
in the service of his country. Horrison men will
hardly endorse the slanders upon the gallant old
soldier, by voting for one who has stigmatized
him as a "coward," a °granny" and a opetticont
General." No; Mr. Tatighinbaugh, you must
look for help from sonic other quarter, than from
the supporters of the noble old man whom you
have so often defamed and reviled. The friends
of Gen. Harrison cannot vote fur those who slan
der him and their country in the same breath.
There are other grounds, however, which must
prevent the friends of Gun. Harrison from voting
for Mr. Taughinbaugh. He is, us we have said a
rank party man, and an advocate of all the mea
sures of Mr. Yon Buren's. administration. He
was and is, a noisy advocate of the Sub-Treasury;
one of your thorough going, hard money, low wa
ges men. He is also, as well as the rest of his
party, opposed to the distribution of the Trocceds
of the ShICB of the public lands amongst the States,
and hostile, we presume, to a protective tariff; for
Mr. Taughinbaugh is not ono of those men who
over deviate from the strict line of party; his poli
cy is to get in the wake of the "bell weather" of
the party, shut his eyes and run by the noise,
without regard to the mud and dirt through which
he has to pass.
Of Mr. Deily, we shall not "deliver our senti
ments," as the Compiler has it, except to say,that
ho thinks himself smarter thug his neighbors
think him. We will, however, do him the justice
to say, that he is about equal in capacity to his
colleague, Mr Taughinbaugh, and has deserved as
much of his party by the unmeasured abuse
which he has heaped upon Gen. Harrison.

Loco Focoism has got the Cholera; and is in a
state of colapse. Doctor Van Duren can't save
it. The death rattle is in its throat.
The Slogan, or battle cry of the Van Buren
party is to be changed. They are to roar Aboli
tion, Abolition. Abolition, and swear that they
have lost Virginia, Louisiana, North Carolina and
Kentucky by abolition influence. This will not
be a bit more absurd, than to charge Gen. Harri
son, in ono breath, with being so touch in favor
of freedom that he would set free the negro slaves,
and in the next, with bring so hostile to freedom
that he would sell white men for slaves. Gentle
men, you may cry abolition, or any other lying
cry, which you may choose to raise, until you
wear out your tongues, but It won't save you;—

Last week's Compiler, in speaking of Mr. Coo
per, our candidate for Congress, says that he was
seldom heard of in the House, unless when rebu
ked by Mr, Ramsey, or Mr. Jones of Virginia."—
The following, which we cut from the Boston
Atlas of the 23rd inst., shows who received the
"rebuke," in the controversy referred to by the
Compiler. This is the testimony of an eye wit
ness. 4amnsey, as every one knows, is a notable
duncearrneath the contempt of respectable own
of eitbiparty.
4 1111Tives -us pleasure to see that the
Harrison conferees of Adams and Franklin
counties, in Pennsylvania, have nominated
for re-election to Congress from that Dis
trict, their present Representative, James
Cooper. No member of Mr. Cooper's age,
in the present Congress, won for himself a
more favorable reputation for sterling tal
ent and unyielding intrepidity, and no one
was exposed to a more incessant but una
vailing torrent of attack Isom the Jatmissa
ries of Government.
On the last evening of the late session of
Congress, having exposed the base subset.-
vieney of Jones, the chairman of the,,Com
mitte of Ways and Means, that cypher had
the consummate assurance, instead of an
swering the stinging rebuke of Mr. C., to
toll him he entertained for him the most
.pro
found contempt.
No one who lied the good fortune to be
present on that Occasion will soon forget
the Withering—the extermtnetien . answer
of Mr Cooper.
"Si r," said he, rising to his utmost height,
and looking down with the most nemitiga
ted scorn upon his cowardly, assailant "the
gentleman has honer ed inn with his con
tempt! The contenriptefwhoin? The con
tempt oldie most subservient fool of a, bank

sult me, but I can tell him, as I would tell
nny abject slave of a corrupt and backrupt
government, I scorn and despise his" con
tempt as much I would that of any other
of the slavish minions of power."
Mr Sores seemed almost to shrink within
himself; and much as the wbole Howie felt
the justM3 of Mr. Cooper's reproof, and
were glad to see the lash administered, it
was Still painful to contemplate it."

Loco Foco Me,eting at Baublitz's.
There were a number ut distinguished! speakers
addressed the meeting at Eau!)hies, en Saturday
week last; but the most effective squeal was mule
by Mr. Elijah Seabrooks, a g. ntleman much re

The enthusiasm of this distinguished orator
mounted se high that he lost his foot bold, and fell
against the house by which he was propped up
while addressing his federal brethren. There was

The Petersburg Meeting.
This meeting was ono of the very largest ever
held in Adams county. The display of flags and
banners, we are informed, was truly brilliant; and
the molloes and devices, inscribed upon them sin
gularly happy. The citizens of that patriotic
district, on the same occasion, erected a Liberty
pole, upwards of 150 feet high, which is admitted
by all who saw it, to in, the handsomest they have
yet seen. The flag which floats upon it is a beau
tiful one, equally creditable to the taste of the
citizens of Petersburg and its vicinity and that of
the artist by whom it was executed. That patri
otic district promises a majority of 100 votes, and
wo believe it will give it. Abraham King, Esq.
presided at the meeting, assisted by a large num
ber of Vico Presidents and Secretaries. Col. J.l
Wolford had the superintendence of the erection
of the polo. Tho meeting was forcibly and clo- 1
Tinily addressed by Messrs. Stevens and Cooper.
The number present is estimated at near 1,000.
Wo shall give a further description of this bril

There was a considerable meeting at Ileidlers

to this gentleman from the Sentinel of yesterday:
"We observe it asserted in the last "Com

pay fur "some months, until the thing be

it upon two literary institutions. In justice
to that gentleman, we remark, that joine

ho .signified to the Editor of this paper his
determination not to retain the extra pay,
as it was highly improper to vote money
into their pockets in that manner, but would
bestow it upon some public institution in the
County, but had not at that time fully re
solved upon the particular disposition to

again expreSsed in the presence of fuel B.

The Post Office Plot.
• We find the following communication in a late
number of the Newark Duily,Advertiser:"
To the Editor of the .NetoorkVaity ,cidverfireix
A letter has accidentally come into' my
posses,nott which discloses a desperate and
deep laid achetno to defeat the election of
Gen. (far rison, and if carried out will con
vulse .this goVernment to its very centre,
and perhaps testilt in anarchy and blood.
The post otlize is the etigitt6--A mos Ken- 1
dull the instinq ent to efrei.:t it. The first
===l
step is already taken, by ordering - every
channel of corurounicatine inf orma ti on t o
the reopk to be closed, except through hi 3
hands and those engagvd in the conspiracy.
A startling report, such as the death of Gen.
Harwen, may be circulated throughout
Penits crania, and New York, just on
the eve of the election, and every Whig pa
per coutradietieg be suppressed.
This scheme accounts for their confidence
in the success of Mr. Van Buren, notwith
standing their oserwhelmning defeat in al
most every Stale, in which there has been
on election. This accounts fur the extra
ordinary declaration of a leading adminis
tration nun, recently in the city of New
York, that "Van Boren had a card yet to
play, which cone of his friends suspected.'!
You may depend upon at they are playing
a despeate earns; they make no calcula
tion for a retreat; they have inscribed upon
their banners, •°ru!e or ruin." Let every
Whiz press thnuu.hout the Union sound
the alarm. Warn the whole country against
this daring conspiracy. They have certifi
cate makers, and affidavit makers in readi
ness, and with such a bold, talented, and
reckless creature as Amos Kendall at
their head, we may well tremble for the
liberties ofour country.
lam ao alarmist. I have ever relied
with confidence -•pon the intelligence, in
tegrity, and patriotism of the people of this
country. But when se see the highest
functionaries of our government conniving
with public phniderers,—when we sea the
Representatives of a soverign State holding
in their hands credentials clothed with all
the solemn sanctions of law, kicked out of
Congress for the express purpose of consum
mating a conviracv. between Mr. Van Bu
ren and John C. Calhoun; and finally, when
we see every prominent leading measure of
Mr. Van Ewen pointing to one single ob
ject, the concentration of all power in his
hands, there is just cause of alarm.
I would suggest the propriety of recom
mending the Whigs throughout the country
to be prepared, if necessary, to establish
expresses in every state in the Union. Let
every mail be watched until the election,
and as !FOOD as they are satisfied that the
game has commenced, let riders be mount

mittee in Itlino:s„ a maple of months ago,

and, among others, whether Professor Hol

edition of that wink was in circulation, be
declined answering their questions unt:l
they should send him a copy of the book to
which they referred. They promptly sent
ham a copy, but his contemptible manceuv re
enabled him to put dThis reply till after
the Illinois election. He has since replied,
and this is the closing paragraph of his let

Prepared only by the tole propiclor, JOHN S.
MILLER, Frederick, Md.
WPHE subscriber has just received a further
4.1 supply of this valuable medicine, which bus
gained a celebrity which few other articles has
over received in su short a time as this; the solo
of which, has constantly increased, and will con
tinuo to increase, as its merits"are made ki,own.
This celebrated BALSAM Or BEAI:TIlt is a medi
cine and vegetable compound, warranted a safe
and effectual remedy for the cure of Dyspepsia,
and for the whole train of diseases resulting from,
and connected with e disordered condition of the
of the stomach and liver, or, derangement of the
digestive functions: As a family medicine it
stands unrivalled, and should be possessed by all
heads of families, narticula'rly..by all those that
are subject to a constipation oldie bowels: it ope
rates us a gentle aperient, gives a tone and ac
tion to the stomach and bowels, and enlivening
and invigorating the whole system. This Bal
sam of Health does not contain a particle of Mer.
cury, but it is composed altogether of vegetable
matter, which renders it 'perfectly harmless, and
it is no hinderance to business, nor any proper
customary employment and habits. The propri.
clot could give a great many cittificates of cures
performed by this medicine in this advertisement,
if it did nut occupy so. much room; therefore he
deems it quite unnecessary, us all those wl.o wish
to see them can, by applying to his agent in this
place.

HiEMOPTYSIS, OR SPI'T'TING 0
BLOOD. This disease generally
proceeds from oppression and weight of the
stomach. A dry ticklifig Cough, Hoarse.
ness, difficulty of Breathing, &c. The bow.
els are mostly irregular, tongue foul, fever
and restless nights, with spells of distres
sing cough,' and difficult expectoration.—
Sometimes the' blood that is thrown up is
thin, and of a florid red color, at othertinios
thick and of a dark or blackish color, 'noth
ing however can be inferred from this cm
cumstance, but that the blood. has laid a
longer or shorter time in the breast before
being discharged. The above symptoms
are frequently attended with chilliness, sal
low complexion, cold extremities, followed
with flushes of heat, and rednees of the
cheeks, headach, quick and extremely herd
pulse, palpitation'of the heart, suffocating
feeling in the chest, sense of rawness of the
throat, sottish taste in the mouth. After
these symptoms there is a feeling of warmth
in tho breast, and a slight hawk or cough
may cause a considerable discharge of blood.
Now, let all those who may have felt those
symptoms or any indication oft hem, always
have by them a few bottles of Dr. Swayze 8
Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which
acts as a preventive 'against these dangerous
attacks, or n. certain cure when they have
occurred.

lanproted Two Morse
THRASHING MACHINES;
One of which is now in the•pOssession' of
Mr. Abraham Fidler, residing in Menallen

Fisher and Forney having fairly ttSted the
utility of this machine, furnish the following
Certificate:—
CERTIFICATE.--We certify, that we
have in use one of Mr. S. H. LI:IITLE'S
PATENT HORSE POWERS, and be.
hove it lobe decidedly superior to any thing
of the kind we' have ever seen. From the
small degree of friction and the rapidity o
motion, two :horses have thrashed nt the
rate of' two hundred dozen a day, with the
greatest ease, and without injury to the
grain. A BRA HA AI FISHER.

WE, the undersigned, du hereby certify
that we have seen one of S. IL Little's .
Two Horse Patent Portable Thrashing Ma
chine m use and can assure the Farmers
'and the Public that it is worthy of the
highest praise and pstronage, as two horses
can do the work of four with more case and
less hands. it saves one half the labour
and performs the work in the best manner
possible. It possesses a decided advantage
over any other machine, being less liable to
get out of order, and easily to be removed.
To see it in operation is sufficient to satisfy
any one of its great utility and the propriety
of our statement..
