HAVING now acquired an exalted reputation in private practice by an invariable efficacy which could only have resulted from their exalted worth, has convinced the proprietor that he has only to make them extensively known to render that re putation universal It is only a few years since these Pills were first presented to the Public, b?Hn that time some thews* and* of pomOj^migJat be found who woold solemnly declare that they jbelieved their .lives were saved by thet?,andip many cases after they had tried most and perhaps all the common remedies in vain. ? W ifere ver they are known they are rapidly coming into use and this affords the most substantial and convincing proof of their merits They are composed entirely of vegetable matter, and honestly promise no more than they faithfully perform A physician of eminence who had witnessed the efficacy of these Pills in his own private practice, had the candor recently to acknowledge to the pro prietor, that he had never used an article that answ ered a better purpose for what they are recommen ded, and that they ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole class of such remedies. Perhaps no article of the kind has ever been offered to the Public, supported by testimonials of a character so decisive, from sources as respectable, or that has met with more general firvor. These Pills have been most successfully employ ed in almost every variety of functional disorder of the Stomach, Bowels, Liver, and Spleen; such as Heart Burn, Acid Eructations, Nausea, Head Ache, pain and distention of the Stomach and Bowels, In cipient Diarrhoea, Cholic, Jaundice. Flatulence, Habitual Costivencss, Loss of Appetite. Sick Head Ache, &c. They are a safe and comfortably aperient for females during pregnancy and subseqvent con finement, relieving sickness of the Stomach, Head Ache, Heart Burn, and many incident Nervous Af fections; literary men, students, and most other per sons of sedentary habits, find them very convenient. Those who indulge too reely in the pleasures of the table, find speedy relief from the sense of op pression and distention which follow, by taking the rills. Those who are drinking Mineral Waters, and particularly those from ague and fever districts, ** ' find them a valuable adjunct. Those who are ex posed to the vicissitudes of weather, on voyages or journeys, can take them at all times with perfect safety.

And thw they gowippod oa the way. Death ? How comes it friend, in every shape, You let so many folks escape? A few years hack, and every elf Once sick, you laid upon the shelf. Dyspepsia then had power to kill ? Asthma defied the doctor's skill ? The lancet too at all times sought, Its hecatomb of victims brought; Then Costivencss could lata! prove, And Rheumatism no power remove, A simple cold where'er you went, A subject to ray kingdom sent How comes it then, that now-a days, Folks slip your gripe and go their ways? Asthma subsides ? Dyspepsia's cured. The lancet is no more endured; The sick to day forget all sorrow, And laugh at both of us tomorrow. Disease ? Dread sire! I use all means I can.

Deacon Slow, had three sons (it is unnecessary to mention his daugh ters) who were, as deacons' sous are apt to be, the deuce only can tell why, very ro guish. They were in the habit of poking fun at an old ram, who endeavored to take his share of the sport by butting them over, a kind of fun which he often manifested an inclination to play off upon \the Deacon as he marched down to salt the flock? for these were duties to which he paid strict at tention, as he was extremely humane, ex cept when he was made very wroth, on which occasion his anger would burn like a furnace seven times heated. Now the Deacon's sheep pasture was on the Shawnee river, which is narrow but deep, and the pasture terminates ra a precipice which rose fifteen feet above the water and shelved over it, as a beetle browed house hangs over a narrow street ; and the boys, who had exhausted all other fun upon the ram, were in the habit, now and then, of squatting on the edge of the precipice, and darting a hat at him, at which he would come with blind fury there. The boy who held the hat could easUy leap aside, and the exasperated ram was quickly cooled by a plunge headfongdown the preci pice into the stream. At this trick they were one day caught by the Deacon their father, who took them into a thicket close by and anointed their backs thoroughly with the oil of birch ? an excellent application in such cases made and provided. It is not always effectual, however, and in this case the disease was not cured, as the boys were a few days after waiting round the place in order to repeat the joke on the unsuspecting and innocent ram ; but on beholding their father at a distance, coming with his basket of salt, they hid in the thicket which they had had so good occasion to remember. ? Slowly came deacon Solomon Slow, and after he scattered his salt, he stood upright and thought within himself, that it would be amusing to see the ram. bolt over the pre cipice into the river. He saw no one nigh ? how should he, when the boys were hid in the bushes? and taking off his broad brimmed hat, he made demonstrations which at once attracted the notice of the lord of the flock, who set out as usual in full speed. The deacon had squatted close to the edge ? and, as he saw the ram bounding along, he pictured out to his fancy the ridiculous figure the silly sheep would make, bounding with a splash into the water? -he began to smile ? the ram at last came; close, fierce on the chai^^ VMPe ..enraged as the liat was to jump aside, iatnd.the beast batted him over with a splash into that water where he intended the silly sheep should have gone. The boys ran out clapping their hands and shouting "you've got, it . dad," in all the .ecstacy of revenge. He was afterwards called Deacon SoJomon by his neighbors, among whom he lived and died at a venera ble old age. Influence of Banking on the public Morals. ? Banking also exercises a powerful influ ence upon the morals of society ; it intends to produce honesty and punctuality in pecu niary engagements. Bankers, for their own interest, always have a regard to the mora! character of the party with whom they deal ; they inquire whether he be honest or tricky, industrious or idle, prudent or speculative, thrifty or prodigal: and they will more rea dily make advances to a man of moderate property and good morals, than to a man of large property but* of inferior reputation. Thus, the establishment of a bank in any place immediately advances the pecuniary value of a good moral character. There are numerous instances of persons having risen from obscurity to wealth only by means of their moral character, and the confidence which that character produced in the mind of their banker. It is rot merely by way of loan or discount that a banker serves such a person; he also speaks well of him to those persons who may make inquiries respecting him* and the banker's good opinion will be the means of procuring him a higher degree of credit with the parties trlth whom he trades. These effects are easily perceivable in coun try towns; and, even in London, if a house be known to have engaged in gambling or smuggling transactions, or in any other way to hkve acted discreditably, their bills will be taken by the bankers les9 readily than those of ?n honorable house of inferior property. It 'is thus that the bankers perform the functions of public conservators of the commercial vir tues. From motives of private interest, they encourage the industrious, the prudent, the punctual, and the honest, vtfiile they discoun tenance the spendthrift and the gambler, the liar and the knave. They hold out induce ments to uprightness, which are not disregard ed by even the most abandoned. There is many a man who would be deterred from dis j honesty by the frown of a banker, though he might care but little for the admonitions of a bishop. ? London paper. i Truth is stranger than fiction. ? There are two dogs in Montgomery county, N. C. of whom this fact is related : They had been hunted together after deer, for several years : at length the elder got his hind leg caught in a steel trap in the river, which caused him to lose it just below the hock joint. ? This did not prevent him from running, however, after it healed. . . But his young friend and pupil, from that time forth, ran upon three legs ? holding up the hiud leg corresponding with the injured leg of his companion. F or the truth of this, we vouch Dr. Montgomery, John C. Atkins, and half * dozen highly respectable gentlemen about Lawrenceville.? Salisbury Watchman. European Publishing.? -The annual is sues of the English press average about twelve hundred volumes ; those of the F rench and German, five^ thousand each. In ten years to come, estimating from the increase during ten years past, there will be issued in England, France, and Germany, more than one hundred and fifty thousand new books. Thtre are more than eighty periodicals in Great Britain, devoted to all (he various de partments of useful human knowledge. Many of them are conducted with great ability. ? The number also in F ranee and Germany is very considerable. - From the Journal des Debate. . An English paper savs, it appears from the abcounts published at the Custom-house, that the number of persons who emigrated for the English Colonies of North America amounts to 34,228, and for the United States 37,774. In 1834 there were 40,000 emigrants for the first of these places, and 33,074 for the la'ter. In 1832, the year in which was the greate emigration, there were 66,359 for the first, and 32,980 for the second^ In the last ten years the proportion of emi grants from the different parts of the empire has not been the same. In 1836 the cumber of persons landed at Quebec and Montreal was, from England, 12,188 ? from Ireland, 12,500 ? from Scotland, 2,224. In 1829, the respective numbers were 3,565 ; 9,614 ; 2,643 ; in 1831, 10,343; 34,136 and 5,324; in 1834, 6799; 19,206 and 4,59i. Among those who landed last year at Quebec and Montreal, 33, 088 came at their own expense, 4640 at the expense of their parishes. Georgia Senatqrs. ? The Milledgeville Recorder states that Mr. Cuthbert has long been anxious to retire from the Senate of the United States, and will certainly do so during the present session of the Georgia Legisla ture. And, as Mr. Kijvg will also resign, the Legislature have two Senators to elect. It adds a rumor that Mr. Forsyth may be a candidate for the Senate ; and says that "should he desire the office, he will obtain it without difficulty." ? Enquirer. CINCINNATI AND CHARLESTON R AIL ROAD. We extract the following from the Message of Gov. Cannon to the Legislature of Ten nessee, at the opening of its present session. 4^I would further respectfully request you to specify the amount to be subscribed by this State, and on what conditions, to the Louis ville, Cincinnati and Charleston Rail Road Company; which important enterprise is re commended to your most favorable consider ation. Tennessee occupies a position in re lation to this magnificent undertaking involv ing the highest responsibility, being the last State concerned which has been called upon to grant to the Company the important privilege of banking within their limits. The privilege seems to be considered by the company essen tial to the prosecution of this great work ; a work which is surely calculated to confer the most exalted benefits upon a large portion of the eastern division of our State, and to secure which no ordinary exertions should be with held. In furtherance of this subject I here with submit for your consideration documents 1,2,3,4,5, and 6, [embracing the letter of his Excellency the Governor of South Garolina, together with the acts and resolutions of th?U State relative to this interesting subject] in full confidence that while you will bettiapos ed to favor the application for the privilege desired to the utmost extent of your authori ty and views of expediency, you will at the same time guard that privilege in the most carcful manner from abuse or misapplica tion." _L_ We have heard that Amos Kendall has sent a Circular to all the Postmasters, requiring them to receive postage in specie only, and stating liat, in order to ascertain whether they comply with this direction, special agents will be sent around to examine and report to him ? that every Postmaster who receives bank notes, will, on couviction of that fact, be dis missed from office. This, we hear, is the contents of theCircu lar ? we have not seen one.? Richmond Whig. From the Richmond Whig. The loss of the Empire State to'the Ad ministration is au appalling stroke to the 11 fa vorite son." If the Whigs profit by this victory as they' should, Van Burenism is deftluct^orever.? But every thing depends upon tftefcprudehce, moderation, and discreation. Let them not be so much elated by their triumph, great and glorious as it is, as to lose' ? "senses. Their opponents, thought pCdSviate and pal sied by the will of the People, hare, by the Constitution, three years before them. In that time, by the liberal use of the public *money and the patronage of the Government, much harm may be effected, unless we have all our wits about us. The Whigs might now, with much propriety, study that philo sophy which teaches that there is more dan ger in prosperity than in adversity. Washington, Nov. 16, 1S37. The immediate effect of the late Republic can triumph in the City and State of New York, has been to diffuse a general liveliness in all the circles of business, to the advantage as well of the vanquished as of the victors. ? Instead of the latter making spoils of the pro perty of the former, according to the adage of " the party," they actually heap benefits upon them, and by defeating them at the polls, open to them hopes and prospects of renewed prosperity ? The consequence of this result, which, besides the promise it holds out of a revival of business, adds security to the tenure of all vested rights, and in a great degree res tores public confidence in the stability of our institutions, is manifested in the advance of the selling price of every description of stock as well as of all sorts of real and personal estate. The effeet may be seeu in every mar ket-place. You may read it, indeed, in the face of every man yo* meet. Among the effects of the glorious regener ation of New York is the production of an impression (indicated in the letters of our New York correspondent) of an early resump tion of specie payments by the banks. This is a result, undoubtedly, greatly to be desir ed, and earnestly to be promoted. But let us not suffer ourselves to be led away by our wishes, in opposition to facts and probabili ties. We have not, to be sure, the same means of forming our opinion upon the sub ject as our respected correspondent, who is in the very focus of commercial and monetary information. But, with such light as ire have, the prospect of early specie payment by the banks is. not so clear to us as it appears to be to him. We cfoT not seeThow tke&mk rcan well resume payment of specie whilst the Gov ernment pays ouly in paper, or for the most part omy in paper. The effect of ja resump tion of specie payment by the bauks at this moment would seem likely to be, in the com mercial cities, 'to drive in all the circulation of the banks for specie to be paid off in duties to. Government, whilst the place of the bank cir culation thusdriven home would be supplied by the Government issue of Ten Millions of Dollars of Treasury Notes circulating at three or four per cent, below their nominal value. By this operation, it appears to us, the banks would be stripped of their specie altogether* and compelled again to suspend specie pay ment from the impossibility of continuing it, and the currency be thus left iu a more hope less state than it has yet been. It will, of course, give us great satisfaction to find, in the end, that our appreheosionsin this respect are not well founded, and that the anticipations ofour correspondent are fulfilled to the letter. 2 ? The Sub-Treasury bill, as it passed the ! Senate, contains a provision that seems to have been intended by the Executive party only for purposes of corruption. It pro vides that there shall be a band of examin ers, who, under the direction and control of the Secretary of the Treasmy, are to nde from point to point throughout. the camUry, and to have whatever salary the Secretary may think proper to grant them. Had not this bill been defeated bjr the House of Representatives, we should soon have been enjoying the excellencies of this admirable system of Executive power and corruption. In the plenitude" of his finan cial wisdom and political forecast, the learned Secretary of the Treasury would probably have appointed several scores of immaculate Whitneys, to scour the country ? penetrate secretly into every section of the Union feel public sentiment, and convey daily, in formation of its tone to the seat of Govern ment. To this is to be added the paramount evihof Sub-Treasuries established through out the country ? the immense monied power of the officers who preside over these insti tutions ? receiving' constant direction and government, through these emissaries, froqa Washington ? all concentred at Washington and New York, and building up and perpetj?? ?iting at those cities not only, the power of the Executive, but the immense resources of the whole country. And can any une he indifferent to the despotic sway which may be exercised by the Executive through the agency of sucn a system f If General Jack son appointed, and by the influence of his popularity and this, aid of 100,000 office holders elected hit successor, who can esti mate the power of an equally popular Pre sident, not only wielding this immense pow er, but directing at his pleasure the accumu lated strength of these sub-Treasuries and secret emissaries ?? ?N.
