In many hundred certified cases which have been made public, and ir almost every species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of moffat's life pills and phenix bitters have been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by the persons benefitted, and who were previously unacquainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, aud upon which they consequently act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend hemselves in diseases of every description, Their first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach^and bowels, ihe various impurities and crudities constantly settling around them; and to re""" hardened faeces which collect in lUV ? W the convolution of the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses-be, hind as to produce habitual costivenesswith all its train of evils, or sudden diar-j rhcea, with its imminent dangers. This) fact is well known to all regular anato-l mists, who examine the humdn bowclsj after death : and hence the prejudice or these well -informed men against quack medicines, or medicines prepared and heralded to the public by ignorant persons. - The second effect of the Life Medicines is! to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder,1 and by this means, the liver and the Jungs, the "healthful action of which "entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the hear!, bging thus purified by them, anil nourished | by food coming from a clean stomach, courses ffeely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly a- r?f In 11. r?

At a meeting of the District Convention held in this town on the 20th of last month, a committee wailed on Mr. Tazewell, with a request that he would preside overtts deliberations,which he decliued inconsequence of feeble health and having also retired from the buaf scenes of political life! but, at the same limp communicated candidlv and franklv to the Committee his sentiments in relaI tion to all exciting topics of the day. The ;opinions of Mr. Tazewell, as expressed by the Committee, having called forth invidious and illiberal remarks, induced one of them, Dr. J. P. Young, to address him a letter, and his reply to that gentleman we now publish, and which we are sure will command tne attention ot our readers : LETTER OF THE HOft. L. W. TAZEWE&L. Norfolk, August 23d, 1840. Sir : Your letter of yesterday was handed me when it was two late for me to reply to it by the servant who bore it. After the very explicit and often repeated declarations made by me to the committee of which you were a member, that I would not take any part in the ferocious contest now raging throughout the country, farther than by giving my vote on the day of election, I did not expect to be culled upon again to abandon this purpose, especially by one of the members of that committee, ?You misunderstand the. reasons which induced me to form this resolution, if you suppose it can be.changed either by repealing to me the unmerited commendations of too partial friends, or the infamous and malignant falsehoods of those who 1 despise too much to calPthem foes. 1 have no reason to believe that I could influence a single vote, any where, if I . would ; and I am very sure that I would not if I could. My opinions upon any f subject, when regarded of sufficient conse. qucucc to be sought for by any of my acquaintance, have never been withheld from them ; nor will they ever be concealed e ov.l lrt'iu an^r viio. i iicoc u}miiiuiiO) in tt^aiu to the respective merits ?f the two candiI dales for the Presidential office, were given to the members of your committee, when asked for by them, as they had b?en ' before given to several o?her persons, of '} both parties, and as they have been repeated to such persons since. I obtrude them upon none, but I am as indifferent who may know them, as 1 am by whom they may be approved. They are my opinions, and would continue to be such although no .1 i -: iu ?..... :.u "tiier uuiiig un caim uugut tuuuuf wim me. Upon.these opinions, as I formerly said to you, I shall act at the approaching election, by giving my suffrage in favor of the present President, and of consequence against his opponent. I have an acquaintance of some standing With both-the capi didates, founded upop a service with each of them for several successive years in the Senate of theUnited Stales. Thisacquaintpnce justifies me in saying ovf each, that 1 he is a well-bred gentleman, of mild and [ amiable manners and deportment, and so far as I either know or believe, of irreV * > 1 . ".r ' n X. ^ - i i - -- proachable private character. Gen. Harri. aou fa my senior by several years, I know, and therefore, he cannot, be short of seven * ty: Mr. Van Buren is my junior by more years, I Relieve, that Gen . Harrison is my senior. In their political course, these gentlemen have generally differed; and while we were all. associated' as members of the Senate of lite United Slates, it was my fortune to differ sometimes with both. The occasions of rajr'differencc witli Mr. Van Bureii, were few and rare; tut.with General Harrison, I do not remember a single subject, involving any question 4t( constitutional law, or of high political ex* pediency, as to which we ever concurred. And on the few occasions which I differed with Mr. Van Buren, he was associated tviili General Harrison. Hence, ? cannot, be matter of surprise to any, that when, placed in n situatjon where franr, to choose between two persons, with neither of whom I do agree entirely, I should prefer; him with whom I have often unitedTio.tli in opinion and action, to him with whom I have invariably differed. I state these things, that knowing the' effect which is sometiihes produced njfon human mindsfcy frequent and long contfhued conflicts of opinion upon subjects of much interest, you may appreciate as you please the sentiment I have often uttered and will, therefore, again repeat, that, in my judgment, General Harrison is both physically and intellectually incompeieni to perform 4he many, varied, arduous, and important duties which must devolve upon every Presidentof the United Stales that it is not prudent to expose our country, to the certain perils which mpst await it, should its destinies ever he committed to & President by accident, in times of difficulty and high excitement: and that such a catastrophe is always probable, whfen one is elevated to the Presidential chair who has already reached the .full term ordinarily considered as the limit of man's life. ' ^ * I To a kind' letter from friends in a distant State, inquiring what wereittjt opinions of Mr. Van Buren's administration, I have recently replied. A copy of ibis reply is now before me; and'as it truly represents mv sentiments upon this subject,1 I will transcribe my answer to the enquiry propounded. "I was opposed to Mr. Van Buren when he was first a candidate' for the Vice Presidential chair, and my opposition to him was continued when he was afterwards a candidate for the station he now holds. Upon each of these* occasions, there were other candidates who, as I thought, agreed with ray opinions more exactly, and . who, therefore, I preferred.? FnlAatainin/* eiteK oanli mch la I KttOO Liiuciiaiiuu^ OUVJI OVII?IU4?II?O| * ?w*v watched his course, since he.came into power, with a vigilence that might hot perhaps hive been used by me under other circumstances. Yet, with ail this vigilance, I have not been able to detect an unconstitutional act that has been done or proposed by him, during his administration; This is not a slight merit, at least- in my eyes \ and when I connect with it that the whole scheme of his policy, id regard to all our relations, whether foreign or domestic, has evinced much sagacity, prudence, and forbearance, and this, too, under circumstances of great difficulty, I cannot withhold my approbation from such a course. " These are not sentiments of one who has any claim, or even pretension, to be considered as a friend of the present President. They are the result of a Caretul examination into all his public acts, since he has occupied his present stationan examination madb with as much candor and impartiality as I could comtnand.~This examination was commenced, I own, with no expectation that it would end in such a result. But it has so terminateu and common justice, as well as comm. honesty, compel me to award him a meed, in my judgment, he has so well deserved. The support he has thus fairbt. earned, I , will willingly give him, so long as he shall continue to merit it. Nor will I ever concur in the attempt to remove any tried servant, who, as I think, has deserved well of his country." i , And now, sir, having satisfied all your inquiries, to the end that 1 may not be compelled to undergo the same labor again, I commit this letter to you, to be used as , you may think proper. 1 am, sir, respectfully, . Your most ob'-t servant, TlTTr fTnW W 'l'i7S!WP.r.T, Dr. J. P. Young, Portsmouth, Ya. To Apprentices.?The only way for a young man to prepare for usefulness is to devote himself to study,.during his leisure hours. First, be industrious in your business. Never complain that you are obliged to work; go to work, go to it with alacrity and cheerfulness, and it will become a habit that will make you respected by your employer and the community. Ma^te it cnur business to see and uromole his inter est; by taking care of his, you n il) learn to take care of your own. Second be industrious in-your studies. Few persons can complain of a harder master than Franklin's, yet he had laid the foundation of his greatness while an apprentice.
