AS a family medicine, a mild and gentle purgative, and purifier of the blood. The general use of these celebrated pills throughout the United States for these forty years past, and the stiong reo r oromendations they have acquired from all classes e of our fellow-citizens, places them in a much more elevated situation in public estimation, than any other remedy which has heretofore been introduced. The following are among the many diseases for which Dr. Dyott's celebrated pills are so deservedly f distinguished for curing. By their counteracting f pro|>eriieB in removing the bile from the stomach, they prevent and cure the bilious fever; chills, or 1 ague and fever, spring and fall fevers; yellow fever; f bilious cholic; pleurisy; dysentery; worms; bilious vomiting; sick and foul stomach. By cleansing the bowels and stomach from all impurities, they restore the loss of appetite, remove Aatulency, cure the headache, habitual coetiveness, colds, coughs, asthma, epileptic fits, hypochondria, hysterical complaints, stranguary, gravel, Ac. By a general and copious use, they will be found very beneficial in' curing the rheumatism and gout, f lumbago or pains in the back. I All impurities in the blood yield to their happy e effects, whether proceeding from constitutional ailment, or from indiscreet intemperance. These celebrated pills have been used to very r' great advantage in curing the dyspepaia, or indigesu lion, bronchitis, liver complaint, die. t They are an infallible medicine for female comj e plaints generally, and especially for removing those r obstructions which are the source of their ailments at certain periods; they possess the eminent advan. taFe over most other nureativea. that, while thev I operate gently, they produce neither costiveness, debility, or too great excitement. Whenever there is a predisposition to receive disease from marsh effluvia, ar from a too copious t use of ardent spirits, or from a vitiated state of the bile, these pills will assuredly counteract it. t They are highly recommended to travellers by s sea or land, ana maybe made use of with safety s without change of diet, and in situations where no exercise can be used. They will be found particut larly valuable for preventing diseases incidental to i hot climates; they deterge and cleanse viscid humors, open obstructions, and promote the secrotion of t good bile, operate as an easy cathartic; as a powerful diuretic, and as a diaphoretic. I Dr. Dvott, under the strong conviction of the f power of his pills to relieve the afflicted, recommends the use of them to those who are in health as well as the afflicted, at leace once a fortnight, during the spring and summer months, in which he feels assured those who attend to his advice will f find the benefit they seek.

The addition of certain in" gradients has so completely disguised the taste of the bark, as to render this efficacious remedy, a most palatable cordial; thus peculiarly adapting it to con 5 quer that repugnance which moat persdhs experir ence after taking for aome time bitter potiona, aa it combinea the greatest efficacy with a highly agree' able flavor.

USSELL ON THE LAW OF EACTORS AND BRQK?RS<?One volume, 1845. June 9 f. TAYLOR. EXTENSION OF PATENTS. [ciBCULAa.] Patent Ovrics, June 91, 1845. THE undersigned, constituted by law a board to decide upon application* for the extension of patents, have adopted the following suggestions and rules, for the benefit of those persons who may hereafter apply for extensions. The questions which arise on each application for an extension are? 1. Is the invention novel/ 9. Is it unful? 3. Is it valuable and important to the public 4. Has the inventor been adequately remunerated for his time and expense in originating und perfecting it? 5 Has he used due diligence in introducing his invention into general use? The two first questions will be determined upon the result of an examination in the Patent Office; as will also the third, to some extent. To enable the bound to come to a correct conclusion in regard to the third point of nquiry, the applicant should, if possible, procure the testimony of persons uisinteresieu in the invention, which testimony should be taken under oath. In regard to the fourth and fifth points of inquiry, in addition to his own oath showing his receipts and expenditures on account of the invention, by which its value is to be ascertained, the applicant should show, by the testimony of disinterested witnesses on oath, thut he has talcen nil reasonable measures to introduce his invention into general use, and that, without default or neglect on his part, he has failed to obtain from the use and sale or the invention a reasonable remuneration for the time, ingenuity, and expense bestowed on the same, and the introduction thereof into use. The report of the examiner upon the novelty and utility of the invention, will be ready fifteen days before the day appointed for the hearing, which will be open for inspection at the Patent Office; copies of which will be furnished to all parties interested, if desired, on payment of the usual fees for copies. In case of opposition by any person to the extension of a patent, both parties may take testimony, each giving reasonable notice to the other of the time and place of taking said testimony which shall be taken according to the rules prescribed by the Commissioner of Patents in cases of interference. All arguments submitted to the board must be in writing. In conclusion, the undersigned would remark, generally, that a monopoly of his invention is secured by law to the inventor^or the term of fourteen years. This is done with a view to compensate him for his time and expense in originating and perfecting it. At the end of the time for which his patent runs, his monopoly should cease, and the invention become public property, unless lie can show good reasons to the contrary. The presumption is always against his application; and if he cannot show that his invention is novel, useful, valuable, and important to the public, and that, having made all reasonable effort to introduce it into general use, he has not been adequately remunerated for his time and expenses in discovering and perfecting it, the hoard cannot grant an extension.

We leave it to our readers to prot^Kce their own judgment, while they enjoy ite^Jnaste and elegant contents. The sketch of the bape of New Orleans is true to the life, and of thrijSng interest. ORATION IN HONOR OV THE MEMORY OV OKNERAL JACKSON, DELIVERKD IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, JUNE IMS, BV ANDREW STEVENSON, KStE To consecrate the memory of illustrious men, to record their actions, and celebrate their praise, has been the laudable usage of all ages, and the grateful duty of every people. The rudest nations have thus dispensed the rewards and motives of virtue, whilst the arte and sciences of_poliahed society have contributed their noblest efforts to this, theif best and highest application. Exalteu virtue and public services emphatically demand the confidence and gratitude of freemen. It is this which not only infuses into free government its public spirit, but cherishes emulation, and exalts patriotism. To great abilities it is an incentive,?nd brings them into action. To the good and useful, in whatever degree, it intimates and yields encouragement. Hence that strong desire, which is inseparable from our nature, to live after death?to embody our names in the annuls of our country, and descend to posterity with the admiration of the wise, und the blessings of the virtuous; and it is this love of fame, when subordinate to the reneral irood of mankind, that it inseparable from those who are truly great! Singularly impremive in this respect were some of the customs of the most highly improved nations of antiquity. The Egyptians, besides celebrating the names and actions of their great and good men, embalmed their bodies, that they might long be kept before the public view as examples of virtue; and, though dead, yet speaking. If there were, then, no other reasons for honoring the dead, these would be more than sufficient. But there is another obligation of a still higher moment. Great virtues, like great men, are the offspring of great occasions; and the doctrines of our holy religion leach that eminently great men are qualified for work by an overruling and wise Providence; and that in honoring them, we honor Him! Influenced by these sentiments and those usages, rendered holy by the best feelings of our nature, we have assembled this day to perform one of the highest and moat solemn duties which the living owe to the dead! And can there, under heaven, be a more interesting spectacle, or one more deeply touching to the human heart, than that of a whole nation of freemen rising up as one man, and with one mind, to do honor to the memory of an illustrious and beloved fellow-citizen, by public demonstrations of sorrow, and solemn acts of devotion to God? This crowded and solemn assembly; these banners which surround this sacred desk;* the gloom which has overspread our whole country, like a visitation of darkness, and struck a pang into the bosom of every American patriot, proclaim an event?a grief?of no ordinary character. They announce to us that the aged and venerable patriot of the Hermitage has at lost gone down to the tomb, in the ripeness of age, crowned with the honors and loaded with the benedictions of a beloved country! They announce to us the solemn truth, that America has lost its great eat benefactor and friend; earth one of its nobleat spirits; and the world one of its greatest men! In coming to do honor to such a man?one who, in the language of our own Jefferson, "had filled the measure of his country's glory"?let us show that we know the difference between the ostentatious pomp and mockery of grief, and that ardent and spontaneous affection with which a free and grateful people can cherish and honor the memory of an illustrious patriot. Let us come to it with those feelings of gratitude and admiration which belong to the character of American freemen, and which are now poured out in e*erv corner of our land! Let us do it, moreover, uninfluenced by party or political feeling. Whatever the spirit of party may be, in the ardor of our political contests, here it should not entei! Although, in life, it spares neither elevation nor humility, but goes forth regardless of everything but its own gratification, high-minded and liberid men will not consent that it shall poison all the charities of social life, much leas invade the sanctity of the jtopib! .Jwt us not suffer the week-day paltriness of life to profane the sacredness of this occasion, or chill its solemnities. Let it not be said that we refused to lay upon the altar of our country, and on the graves of its heroes and patriots, our party bickerings and strifes. Who is there that will withhold from the patriot the gratitude due from the patriot's heart? What free and proud Vinpnian?what generous American is litre, who, like the Carthaginian of old, is prepared, not only to bring his enmities and his children to the altar of his country, but to the very graves of its iienefactors, and there swear the oath of undying liaic' None!?I trust, none! Charity to ourselves, gratitude to the illustrious dead, and love of country?these, these are the feelings which belong to this occasion. And you, too, my fair and beloved countrywomen, whose first honor is in the gentleness of your nature, will you not unite your sympathies and tears over the grave of that man who, above all others, wan the most devoted friend and admirer? might 1 not nay romantic??that woman ever had. Who so prompt to defend and protect her rights, or guard her from injury and insult? Who ever cherished or exalted more the purity of the domestic and social virtues, so infinitely more important to human happiness than all others? Whose valor was it that protected our mothers, and wives, and daughters from the savage tomahawk; and a licentious soldiery, and one of our finest cities, with its "beauty and booty," from ruthless invaders? Whose, but Andrew Jackson's? And will you not act with the firmness which becomes the wives and daughters of freemen, and, by your example, invigorate the spirit of patriotism in your countrymen? From the spirit which pervades thin assembly, I anticipate your answer. Come, then, and mingle your sympathies with those of your country, and pour out your tears over the. grave of this great and good man. And here, in this temple, dedicated to the living rjrwl? l.oro avar iIia natiM nf an iIliifitrimia and hfi fared patriot, 1 invoke the spirit of pence end patriotism m shed around its holy calm, refreshing alike to the feelings and the intellect. in consenting to become your organ on this occasion, i am nut only sensible of the difficulty and delicacy of the undertaking, but I feel that your too partial choice has devolved on me the performance of a duty, to which powers, much higher than any i possess, would alone be equal. For, if it be true that, next to the performance of great actions, is the difficulty of representing them, who shall attempt to delineate justly the character of a man that was the type of everything chivalrous in valor, generous in honor, and pure in patriotism? or in what language tell the story of that pventful life, whose every action was worthy of praise? To confer the just meed of eulogy on a character so remarkable?to entwine the blended glories of the hero and statesman, and, with them, to mingle the milder radiance of religion and morality?would seem, iiuiusxL, to require little less than an inspiration, not only of the feelings and sentiments which pervade the nearts of millions of freemen throughout our whole country, but of those opinions which his great virtues and character have so strongly and deeply impressed upon the world: Of legislators, in whose labors and honors he wai; associated by all that was useful and dignified: Of armies, to whom he was endeared by every obligation of gratitude and glory: Cu a people, by whom he was regarded as thair protector and benefactor: Of ministers of our holy religion, by whom he wan beloved and admired: Of enemies in war, by whom he was aliks dreaded and revered: s And of the wise, and just, and generous of all uafions, of whom he was nn ornament and example. This is indeed a high duty, and I would to God it could have pasted into other hands, more worthy aiul competent to do It justice. But you have determined otherwise; and, in yielding to your wiahee, ,...,I.I? a. i >k.> I Hitf nurfnniiinv a ss crcd duty; one that I owe to you, to the memory of the illuairinua man, whoee death we commemorate, and to myaelf. And although I know that private friondehipa are not fit topicefbr audi occaeione, yet it would be difficult, standing in the relatione that I did for ao many yeara to thia great man, and bound to him by ao many ties, not to be allowed to mix up with higher motivea, thoee of a more humble and individual character. The incenee of public proiae will not aacend with the leaa grateful odor, for being minuted with the aepirationa of individual gratitude. The suffrages, perhapa the prejudicea of mankind, have concurred?with what propriety I ahall not atop to inijuire?in aaaigning to the profeanion of arma the Aral atation in the ranka of glory. On thia occaaion the derision can be of no importance. He whoee memory we new honor, was alike pre eminent in "Mr. apoka from tha pulpit ef I ha Old Baptiat church. peace and war?in the cabinet and the field; and the olive and the laurel hare equally contributed their I honor* to form the chaplet or hi* groat renown. It is therefore only In the order of ni* dietinguiehed services, that 1 shall first ask your attention to his military career; noticing, howevor, vsry briefly, before I do so, some circumstances connected with the history of his early life. The birth, |>a rentage, and early portions of General Jackson's life, belong to history. We are here to commemorate the character of the hero, statesman, and patriot. 1 shall aav nothing, therefore, of his ancestors. Virtue ana greatness have no need of birth. Born a simple citizen, of poor but respectable parents, he became great by no other means than the energy of his own character; and being, as he seems to have been, the favorite of Nature and Heaven! Had he been born to wealth and influence, he might probably have lived and died an obscure and ordinary man. Severe discipline and poverty inured him in early life to great hardahip and industry; and it has been justly said of him, that he seems to have been an orphan from the plough to the presidency. He must, therefore, be regarded as the architect of his own fame and fortunes! Although too young to have taken any distinguished part in lighting up the beacon fires of our glorious revolution, or unfurling the banner of liberty with our revolutionary heroes and patriots, the close of that memorable struggle found him, though a boy of only four- teen, in arms in the corps of the gallant Davie, and soon afterwards, with a brother, a prisoner in Camden; where he underwent severe hardships and suf- A ft ll .1 ,?lnr...?inn nf n...6, >"'""7) mother, liberated by an exchange of prisoners. These early scenes of our revolution were not lost upon such a mind as Jackson's. The bravery and devotion of our fathers; their stern determinauon to 1 meet coming events, and vigorous preparation to I meet them successfully; the great battles which been fought; the services and sacrifices which had been made; the renowned men of those times, both in 1 the field and in the cabinet, and the imperishable glory they achieved?were ever fresh in his recollection, and contributed mainly to form, in after- i times, the bent and character of his great mind. They made an impression on him, which ceased only with his last breath, and were the examples that stimulated hia patriotism, and formed his own heroic heart. He drank, and deeply too, at the pure fountains of the revolution. From his boyhood, he was distinguished by many of those noble traits of character which marked his progress through life. There was an openness, a simplicity, a good faith, ah affectionate ardor, an elevation of soul, with an invincible physical and moral courage, and boldness, and love of truth, which irresistibly made way to the hearts of all who nearly approached him, and rendered him the object through life of a zealous und enthusiastic attachment almost unexampled. These qualities adhered to him throughout hia eventful life, and signally marked, as you will see, its close. It is said, that in his youth he had no relish for literary or scientific pursuits. This is no doubt true. His education was certainly nothing more than that which was afforded in those days to the children of the poorer 'classes, and was confined Erincipallv to the rudiments of the English, and the iwer ana practical branches of mathematics. Regular and classical education has been thought by some distinguished men to' be unfavorable to great vigor and originality of the understanding; and that, like civilization, whilst it made society more interesting and agreeable, yet at the same time, it levelled the distinctions of nature; that whilst it strengthened and assisted the feeble, it was calculated to deprive the strong of their triumph, and beat down tne hopes of the aspiring. Be tnis as it may, truth requires us to say that the mind of Gen. jacason eicapeu ine training anu aiaiccuca ui uie schools; and, so far at least as our distinguished countryman, John Randolph, once said, "it had certainly fair play." His writings were plain and pointed, made upgenerallv of short sentences, but characterized by admirable good sense, great clearness and solidity, and a manly fortitude of thought, firm and unshrinking. Without saying anything to the disparagement of scholarship or science, he had no claims to the character of a scholar or man of science, much less to that of an orator or rhetorician. Through life he was fond of reading history and the Bible, the latter of which was his constant friend and companion. You cannot but have been struek with his declaration on this subject a few hours before his death: "That the Bible was the bulwark of our free institutions, and the comforter of our present and future safety." From youth to old age, he seems to have had a just estimation of his own great mental powers and natural resources, and hence never felt "How hard it waa to climb The deep, where Kamc'a proud temple hinea afar." Having determined to devote himself to the profession or the law, he removed from South to North Carolina; and, under the auspices of Judge McCay and Col. Stokes, read law, and obtained a license to practise; and as a proof of the estimation in which ne was then held, ne received, from the government of North Carolina, the appointment of solicitor for the western part of that State, being the present State of Tennessee. At the age of 33, General Jackson crossed the mountains, for the purpose of discharging the duties imposed on him by this appointment, and making the West his permanent home. Tennessee was, of course, then a wilderness, and denominated the "Bloody Land." Happy was it for this patriotic State that such was the destiny of this great man! He resided there until she became a State, and soon ranked among her most distinguished men, and filled, at different periods, most of the high offices of the State, civil and military. He tyas a member of her convention, and had a large share in forming her constitution. He was her first representative in the House of Representatives of the United States, and soon afterwards became her senator in Congress. He was then translated from the national councils, and became a judge of the supreme court of Tennessee, which office he held for some years, and then resigned, to devote himself to military pursuits and studies, nnd soon rose to the rank of major general of militia. At a later period, he was again in the Senate of the United States, and only retired from it when nominated for the presidency. And well may the peo?le of Tennessee regard him as their especial beneictor and friend. He grew up with that State from her infancy; gloried in her expansion and destiny; and to her government and people devoted his affections and his life. And the larger portion, both of Tennessee and the adjoining country, conquered by his sword, is filled with the monuments of his valor and skill. So much for this early portion of his life: we will now pass to a brief notice of his military character I and services. And, in the first place, I will take occasion to say, that there are few men, probably, who nave over uveu, more jusuy ciiuucu w me onaiutiu of warrior?a great warrior?than Andrew Jackson. Indeed, the very name of Jackson irresistibly carries to the mina of every American the impression of a great military commander; and, as such, he must ever stand high amongst the highest on earth. Who is there that ever combined in a greater degree all the distinguishing and endearing qualities of openness of heart; the manliness of pride; the benevolence of feeling, and that chivalrous and daring courage which the imagination ascribes to the perfection of a great warrior, than General Jackson?excepting always the Father of his Country! Or who is there that has ever stamped the impression of his military genius and virtues more strongly or more deeply upon his own times! Besides, there was another quality which distinguished him as a commander, over most other men; and that was, a coolness and presence of mind, and entire self-possession, never so great as in the midst of danger and the heat of battle, and which nothing could baffle or disturb. This was strongly evinced in boyhood, and marked his character through life. Among numerous occurrences in illustration of this, let me mention one, which occurred during the battle of New Orleans, and which I had from one of his aids, who was present: A ball passed very near him, in the heat or battle, and he bowed his head, and said to one of the aids nearest to him, that it was not customary with him to salute in battle the balls sn passant; but as the one which had just gone by was the first Brititk brfll that he had particularly noticed, he could not do less than pay his respects to it. How characteristic of the man and the hero! The first important services rendered by General Jackson, in a military capacity, were those in our early and bloody Indian wnrs in the North and Southwest. Whilst Tennessee was a Territory, and after her admission into the Union, the frequent depredations and incursions of the neighboring tribes of savages made it necessary that the whole country should be ander arms. In all these engagements with the Indians, he was ever amongst the most active and foremost, and displayed always great energy and valor. It gave him a high military standing nt that early day in Tennessee, whicly continued steadily to increase. This state of things, with little intermission, j j k. ?r ,k. ;n iqio continued uwwii w tire y wa, III ions with Great Britain. Soon after it was declared, the Creek Indiana became alliea of the enemy, and perpetrated eome of the moat aignal and dreadful maaaacrea that erer diagraoed humanity. The State of Tennaaaee immediately called into the field eome three or four thouaand of her militia, and placed them under the command of Jackson. Tin arat great battle was that of Talladega, in which tin Creeka were defeated, with great slaughter; and af terwards followed Uiose of Emuckfaw and thi Horse-Shoe. These victories annihilated a naltoi that had for twenty years and more kept our fron tiers in continual dread of massacre and bloodshed ?nd gave peace to that part of the country. The] attracted the notice of the general government; uni General Jackaon received, unsolicited, the appoint ment of a major general in the UniLed States service In appreciating the importance and dilficulties o thia peculiar service, we must look to the circum stances under which they were performed, and th? convul?ce fought, and when this great ma was standing like a mighty colossus in the midst a sea of dangers, and with the eyes of She natio looking to him for succor and safety! In one of the gazettes of Washington, (the R do it better or more strongly than to present very I briefly the grounds upon which his claims were r presented to the American people for this high office, a He was supported upon the ground that, having a been distinguished, if not for great talents, yet for it useful services in all the civil offices under the gov e eminent* both of Tennessee and the United .States? n of councillor, legislator, senator, and judge, some of e which he had filled more than once, and the. duties y of which he had discharged with ability and satisi, faction to those he represented?he was qualified for i. any office under our government;?that it was not probable that he could have been selected to e fill high offices, so various and responsible, with* e out possessing distinguished talents for civil du:, lies; or that he could have discharged them satish factorily, without considerable acquiremdht;?that n this should satisfy his country that his mind was t, not exclusively of n military character; and that his ie election to the presidency would not, therefore, rest ?l exclusively on his great military services;?that, n like Washington, he had been a citizen soldier, and, le like Washington, was qualified for high civil comn mand;?that it was the command or armies and >f brilliant services, rendered by both, that first enn dearrd these great men to their country, and operated, doubtless, with both, in recommending them e- to the chair of state;?that, if neither had been r. wnrriom, it ia probable that naither would hare been diatingiiiahed|iitateaman|?that General Jackaon waa t, eminently qualified by hia great capacity for prigina) ing and directing measures for governing men, fo bringing order out of confusion, and, by that pru dent judgment and foreaight, securing the gooi which many too often attribute to fortune;?that h was fitted for the chief magistracy of such a coun try and people, by all the qualities of his grea mind and character, and by all the habits of hi public and private life;?that it would be vain ti say, that a man nurtured in the bosom of freemen every one of whom was by birthright a politician? successively filling, by the choice of such a people high and important offices in the legislative, execu live, and judicial departments of government?was notwithstanding all his experience, and such proof of public esteem and confidence, incompetent to th administration of a popular government;?that call ed.as he had been, from the pursuits pf civil life ti military command, he had become at once, am without regular military tuition, a great captain;? that having to truat to hia own reaources, and ti depend for success on the active and commanding energies of his own mighty mind, he did not thei disappoint his country;?that his combinations am conduct established a skill, n sagacity, and judgment that would have done honor to the most renownei commander that hud ever devoted a whole lif time to ths profession of arms;?and that, if sucl had been the results of General Jackson's capacit; and talents in a profession which he had but littl followed, the results would not be less beneficial o glorious when the same capacity, and talents, am integrity, should be devoted to an office more con genial lo his habits;?thut it was true he was not i man of great learning and genius; but, in lieu o these, he hod a common sense, a discretion and pru dcnce, which nothing could supply, nnd withou which knowledge was useless and genius contempt! ble;?that he was a man who never mistook ului lo do, or who! he was doing;?that, in regard to tin fundamental questions of constitutional doctrinci and national policy, he had been politically nurture! is the school of our republican fathers, and that h these tenets of his youth he still adhered; and that lastly, in the language of Mr. Jefferson, he. wai "honest, sincere, firm, and strong-minded?of souni public principles; and that, if ho should he brough into the presidency, to correct the alarming tendency towaids fuvorite and otherwise irremediable evilR which were beginning to develop themselves in th And it was here that he exhibited astriking illustration of the truth, that true greatness is perfectly compatible with everything that ia amiable and engaging in man! lie who had occupied so important a page in his country's history?who had possessed a popularity i and influence exceeded only by Washingtoni?who had filled every high station of dignity and trust which his country could confer, both civil and military?became, when in the domestic oircle, and around the social hearth, as simple as a child, distinguished by the suavity of his deportment, and an intuitive felicity of making every one around him happy. Such was Andrew Jackson, in private life; and it is there tlint true greatness waits to be exmoiteu. in me world, men rise superior to each other; but it is here that man rises superior to himself. The region of politics, at best, in banefhl; and too often "the soil, the ricea like." In his private attachments, he was governed by the same steadiness that sustained his public conduct. His friendships were, therefore, sincere and fixed. If he loved you to-day, he would love you still more tomorrow, the next day, and forever, provided you did nothing to forfeit his regard and good opinion. Although, in a charncter marked by such strength of features, the lineaments of the softer virtues could scarcely lie expected to mix, yet those who knew him best in private life, and in the unbendings of retirement, knew the genuine indications of their existence, and the child-like simplicity and tenderness of his nature. His manners, though naturally dignified, were never haughty. There was the same gentleness without timidity, and. decision without presumption. He blended dignity with condescension, and the greatest as well as the humblest objects rer ceived attention. Born with strong passions, often i the concomitants of genius, he had acquired great i command and ascendency over them; ana, among all his personal qualities, courage, both physical and moral, were allowed to him in an eminent degree. It was these only, which, amidst those formidable i agitations of party, which, for so many years of his administration, convulsed the American people, could have enabled, him, as they did, to remain firm and immovable. In all mnttcrs of pecuniary con, rem, his dealings were dictated by a punctual re, gnrd to his engagements, mid, at the same lime, dis. tinguished by great liberality, without indulging in excesses which bring on embarrassment. His honesty can scarcely be said to have claimed i the rank of a virtue. It reauired no effort, and oould, therefore, boast no triumpn; and it may not be deem ed unimportant to remark, that, among all the va rioua calumnies which malice has endeavored to cast upon the fame of thi* distinguished man, the i tongue of alander never whiapered the imputation of I a single act of mercenary meanneas. An inflexible conaietency of principle, equally i proof against caaual failure ana the moat lnsur mountable difficulties?an erectnesa of principle and I a pride, originating in, and aupported by, conacioua talents and integrity?were among hia chief characi teriaiica. His hospitality was proverbial. The friend and I the stranger were received with cordial welcome at r his hospitable mansion, and hia benevolence and kindness to his neighbors were acknowledged with r affectionate gratitude. Friend to the poor?for. i surely, that god-like virtue was hia?he comforted and blessed them by his private liberality and his I public largeades. Bear witness, ve mourner* nmnmt I the Hermitage, and you, good people of Tenneaaee. He was married but once, and had no children or f blood relatives; but the fraternal love which he bore s towards the relations of his beloved wife was as CX, emplary as it was sincere; and the munificent pree cuts for all her relatives attest the affection ana det rotian which he bore to her (and she was worthy of it all!) and her kindred. Nor was his muniAcence f (founded bj these limits. The institutions of frew dom and science were annually consulted anil generously rewarded. And who is there, that must not have been sir*, with the preservation of his intellci t, and the ft* tude and resignation which he exhibited to 0i? i, hour? In the scenes which closed his earthly, reer, his death was in every respect conformant his life. Never was he more true to his great cV acter Even in the moments of great bodily p, and approaching dissolution, when it might he been expected that a man's every feeling would concentrated in personal suffering,his thoughts*, occupied by the awful event impending; and eveti these moments, all selfish considerations were u aside, and the sentiments still uppermost in V mind were God and'his country and Ins death marked by the coolness and aerenity which thought to belong exclusively to health of body? a mind at ease. "To live with (bme. The gods allow to many; liut to die Willi equal lustre, is a blessing Heaven Selects from all her choicest boons of fate. And with a sparing hand on few bestows." One part only ol hie character now remain* tol noticed; and tliat ia, hit reverence for religion, l all hia public dorumenta, God ia honored! A nw of General Jackson's strong and superior bum could not but have hod the strongest impression^ religion; and doubtless, in his last momenta, uh? smoothed his pillow, and whispered comfort toW soul. It was, therefore, around his de?lh-bed that a additional lustre, as well aa sacrednrit, WMthrowi by the manner in which he met degih, and the ignation which marked his lust momenta. Helq that his time waa come, and that "The paths of glory lead but to the grave He died, as he had lived?a Christian; and his |u words were, "God and mjkcountry." Of the military explnitslf this truly great mu the hero shall tell. Our young warriors shall be to hitious of emulating them; the sage shall rpeakt his counsels; the statesman shall follow them, i| shall reverence his great virtues, to teach the nin. generation to imitate them; millions yet unboe shall speak his praise, and over hia ashes hang u free tribute of gratitude and tears; and, when ni# ble and monuments shall moulder in the dust, tb name of Jackson shall still live. With you, my I* loved countrymen, he will ntrer die! HewiUlu in your liberty and glorious institutions?he will fa in that national prosperity which he labored to i cure for generations yet to come?he will live ink own great example, which has shown you howi greserve whut your fathers had so gloriously y all his inestimable services and splendid s tions?by the respect and veneration in which p hold his character?by the wisdom of his counwi and the dignity of his example, appreciate, 1 b seech you, your conceptions of his memory, by sen ing your country as he served it, and honoring Goi, he honored him.

May 1 Beckwith'8 anti-dyspeptic pills have keen most success fully employed in almost every variety of functional disorder of the stomach, bowels, liver, and spleen; such as heartburn, acid eructations, nausea, headache, pain and distension of the stomach and bowels, incipient diarrhoea, colic, jaundice, flatulency, habitual costiveness, loss of appetite, nick headache, sea-sickness, Ac., Ac. They are a safe and comfortable aperient for females during pregnancy and subsequent confidement; relieving sickness at the stomach, headache, heartburn and many of the incidental nervous affections. Literary men, students, and moat other persona of sedentary habv its, find them very convenient. Those who indulge too freely in the pleasures of the table find speedy relief from the sense of oppreesion and distension which follow, by taking the pills. As a dinner pill, thev are invaluable. Those who are drinking mineral waters, and particularly those from southern climates, ague and fever districts, will find them a valuable adjunct. Those who are exposed to the vicissitudes of weather on voyages or journeys, can take them at all times with perfect safety. In full I dose* they are a highly efficacious and'aafe antibiliou* medicine. They seldom or never produce sickness at the stomach or griping. There have been many imitations and worthless counterfeits of these pills put in circulation by un1 principled and ignorant persons?the directions, wrappers, Ac., of the genuine pills so closely and accurately copied, that the closest observer could not, without a trial of their effects, distinguish between them.
