To tho 2d wo j lievocach replied, tliat ho would support Col, J( so.v, (though he was not their choice,) or any o of tho candidates on whom the Democratic p could concentrate; the great object being, not much to gratify personal feeling, as to secure ascendancy of a party upon the prcvalanco of wl principles the stability of our institutions depi ; Major M Willie paid a high and merited tribut the patriotism and public services of Col. Jonxsc j In reply to tho 4th interogatory, a'l tho gcr men stated distinctly and emphatically their hosti ! to a United States Dank, though we did not ; tinctly hear either say thut ho would under no s 1 of circumstances, go for one, though they c< j not now see, or imagiuo any emergency, that w< i induce them to support a United States Bank. ' gentlemen dwelt more at length in respondiiij the 5th interogatory; they concurcd generally he vor, in the opinion, that it was the duty of the j prcsentativc to give up his trust, when ho had i the p.rmfidoiire of his constituents. Muior DeS sure illustrated his sentiments on this subject, f his course in his profession, if, as a lawyer found his cliont flagging in his confidence in liis lily to do justice to his case, he felt bound to ; him an opportunity of selecting anothor, and thought the same principles should govern the j prcscntativo. | The answers, upon the whole, we think 01 j to be satisfactory, They were such as corrcsji I with the sentiments and principles which govern i Democratic republican party.

GEO. Q. M'INTOSH, c. c. c. p. r on aune &t. ou Ot Moffat's Life Pills. THESE medicines are indebted for their name to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the springs and chan nels of life, and enduing them with renewed tone and vigor. In many hundred certified cases which have been made pulb-' '* lie, and in almost every species of disease * to which the human frame is liable, the n happy effects of MOFFAT'S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BITTERS have been gratefully and publicly acknowledge ~ ed by the persons benefitted, and who " were previously unacquainted with the it beautifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, and * upoa which they consequently act. * The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases of every descrjpi lion. Their first operation is to loose* e from the coats of the stomach and bowels,' the various impurities and crudities constantly settling around them; and tq remove the hardened faeces which coilectia , the convolution of the small intestines* Other medicines only partially cleansa s theSe, and leave such collected masserbe18 hind as to produce habitual costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrhrPA. with it* imminent damrerg. This fact is well known to all regular .anato-' * mists, who examine (he human bowels q after death: and hence the prejudice; of these well informed men against quack * medicines, or mediciues prepared andher raided to the public by ignorant persons. >e The second effect of the Life Medicineria to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, - the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the nrifiary organs. The blood, which takes its red '* color from the agency of the liver and tho lungs before it passes into the heart, be' ing thus purified by tbem, and nourished t* by food coming from a clean stomach* J? courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly r? mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. s?

E All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patients is to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the ~ directions. It is not by a newspaper notice, or by any thing that he himself raajr . say in their favor* that he hopes to gain ( credit. It is alone by the results of a fair r~ trial. For sale by J. R.
