AI,EXl>5)mt GAZETTE. MR. POLK'S SPEECH. On the removal of the Deposiles% ['continued j But it is said that the Secretary of the Treasu ry is bound to make his annual report to Con gress; and that, if he shall remove the deposites, he is to assign his reasons, not to the President, but to Congress. And why is this, it is asked, unitss he be independent of the President? Sir, I wilt not repeat what 1 have already said, but I will say, that if the act intended by this provision to control the President’s power of removal, it is I unconstitutional anil void. But why, then, must he submit his annual report to Congress? I an swer, 1st, because Congress is the guardian of the public purse; it passes the laws by which the revenue is collected, and by which alone it isdis- j bursed: and it is peculiarly proper that the head of the Treasury Department should report to that power which controls the money of the coun try. It is a matter of convenience, and facilitates the public business. But is this inconsistent with his responsibility.to the President? Not at ail.! Not in the least degree. But he is required to, give to Congress hi* reason for removing the de posites. Yes, sir, and why? The first reason l have already given; and a second is, that without this enactment, and prior to it, Congress had the right to call on him for those reasons. During the existence of the old Bank of the United States, when the Secretary was not required by law to place the public moneys in that bank, but placed them where he thought most conducive to the public convenience, Congress had a right to inquire his reasons the moment he changed the place of depoaite. This enactment is only a standing call on him, instead of a special inqui R..» u.Ku in li„ in t»ivF» thi4 arruiitif to Con gress? That we may know whether he has acted corruptly or no. lhat we may know what he has done with the public money, and where he has put it Because, the moment ne has remo ved the deposites from the Bank of the United States, we have entire control over the location of them. He reports to us, for these reasons.— But does this make him independent of the Ex ecutive. But, sir, the power exercised by the Secretary see-ns to me to have been greatly misapprehend- j ed in all the discussions 1 have yet heard on this subject. An impression seems to prevail that this is a novel procedure, without any precedent in the history of this country. Sir i shall show the President’s control over the Secretary in directing the place where the public money shall be deposited; and what I shall say on j it shall not r »t on mere assertion. It is an inte' e^ting part of the documentary history of j our country, which seems to have lain in a great degree hidden from the view of most of; those who have entered on this subject. I shall J be able to show vou that from the days of Ham ilton, till now, as well before as since the enact ment of the bank charter, the power of fixing the place of the public deposites has been claimed by all the -Secretaries of the Treasury, and never; has b**en considered either by Congress, by the bank, or by the peopie, as any violation of right, or transgression of the constitution. On the con- j trarv, it has ever been held necessary for that of- j ticer to possess such a power, in order that he i mav preserve a just equilibrium in the circulating 1 medium of the country. I call the attention of; the House to what is the power of the President in this matter, and as to •what was the under-, standing of those who chartered the bank, as to the power of the Secretary in reiation to it. fHere VIr. Polk read various passages from Mr. Craviford’s letters, in support of his posi tion.] By a regulation of the Bank of the United j States, the dills of State banks were refused, ex cept those of banks established in pia^es where o they were respectively tendered in payment.” In consequence of this, the collectors of the Dis met of Columbia, of Virginia, and Maryland, miitlp their deposites in the Metrouolis Bank of this city; and the >^u«i»h so paid remain still principally with “the bank.” The same thing occurred wiih the Bank ot Pennsylvania. Again: In declining t» transfer the balan ces which remained in the banks of this l)is trier, at the time that the office in this city *4 commenced business, and in the cases stated to have occurred in Philadelphia and Boston, 44 was influenced by a consideration of the pressure felt by the State and local banks, 44 during several months subsequent to the re 44 resumption of specie payments, and oj the ser- vices rendered to the Governwent by those •4 banks during the period that they were used as 44 laces of public deposite by the Treasury An immediate transfer of the public money depos- 44 ited in them would probably have produced a 44 pressure upon the debtors of those banks, w hich 44 might have inflicted upon them evils greatly j 44 beyond the benefit which would have resulted 44 from the measure to the Bank of the United 44 States.” These reasons were communicated to Congress and the whole Congress acquiesced in their pro priety. The Bank did not then allege that its rights were loterferred with. The Bank had not then set itself up in an antagonist attitude against the Government When these reasons were as signed, there was no one, in all the country, who doubted that they were satisfactory and sufficient What did these reasons establish? 1st. That it is a sufficient reason for retaining the public money from the Bank of the United States, and making the deposite in State Banks, that it is done to enable the latter to resume spe cie payments. 2d. That the Treasury may give support (by a deposite of public money) to the State Banks, to enable them to pay specie. Sd. That deposits of public money mav be made in the Banks which have not been before public depositories, to enable them to sustain their credit, as in the case of the deposite in the Bank of Georgetown. 4th That State Ranks (as in the cases at Bos ton and Philadelphia) may be employed as agents of the Treasury, when the public convenience re quires it. 5. That the deposites may be made in State Bank* to relieve any pressure upon these Banks, or in consideration ot services previously render- ed by them: and 6. To prevent a pressure by the State Banks up«*n their debtors. Further than this; seven years after the Bank was chartered, and had been in full operation, the Secretary of the Treasury was called on by the Senate of the United States to say if he had made any loans to any of the State Banks, or il he had made any of the publit deposites in those institutions. In the year 1823, Mr. Crawford answered this call, and gave the information which was required of him. It would not do for gentlemen to say that was when the Bank went first into operation, and that these ought to be re garded rather a9 reasons tor withholding, than foi withdrawing the deposites. I his call was made seven years after the Bank went into operation. He would read an extract from the letter of Mr. Crawford, communicated in reply to that call: 4* It is the peculiar province, and it has been the practice, of the Department of the Treasu ry of the United States, to direct the moneyed 4 operations of the public, to the preservation ol credit, bv maintaining the equilibrium between ‘the moneyed institutions of the country.”— Again— “From my personal intercourse with Mr. Gal latin, I know he entertained the sentiments ‘contained in this letter, and, I presume, the? have been entertained by all of his predecessor? ‘and successors in office, and acted upon when ever cases occurred which rendered it nccessa ry.” Again—page 8, In that Report,” (Dec. 10, 1817.) it is ‘stated that a deposite of $75,000 had been made 4 m the Farmers’and Mechanics’ Bank ol George town, to sustain it in its operations, immediate 4 lv after assuming specie payments. Theprin ciplc and practice of the 7 reasury in sustaining the credit of the Banks, disposed to act correct ly was, in this communication, frankly disclos edto Congress, when not the slightest symp ‘TOM OF DISSATISFACTION WAS MANIFESTED, OH THE RIGHT OR PROPRIETY OF THE PRACTICE CALLED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN QUES TION. So that Mr Crawford informed Congress that he had in 1817 made his deposites in the local banks, and that the act had not then been called ill ijutauvii* Many other instances could be enumerated when the public deposited were transferred They had been placed in the Bank of Columbia, in Georgetown, in 1824, and in the Bank of the Metropolis; and also, in the Mechanics’ Bank, in Alexandria. It was stated in this report, lhat they were placed in the Mechanics’ Bank, in Alexandria. When a Commute of the Directors of that Bank caller! on Mr. Crawford, and in formed him that the institution was in danger of falling, unless it could receive some aid from the Government, they were requested to call the next day, as it was necessary that the Secretary should consult the President, and receive his nr der on the subjed. On opening the subject to the Piesident, the Chief Magistrate concurred in the propriety of granting such assistance to the Bank as would relieve the institution from the pressure which placed it in a situation of peril. But this assertion of power, and the exercise of that power, bv Mr. Crawford, was not suffer ed to pass unobserved. It was not passed silent ly over bv Congress. The House must remem ber the celebrated memorial of Ninian Edwards, making a number of charges against the Secreta rv of the Treasury; aod, amongst others, that he had permitted money to be deposited in the local banks, and to remain there, in States, where the United States Bank had their offices of dis count and deposite. The gentleman who super intended the Treasury was then before the coun try, a candidate for the highest office in its gift. When the letter containing these charges was submitted to the House, it was referred to a Com mittee, of which a distinguished gentleman from Virginia was Chairman. Evidence was in that Committee taken, arid the Cashiers from distant banks, as well as from those in the District of Columbia, were examined All this testimony established the fact, that, in making these depo sites, the Secretary of the Treasury had acted openly and undisguisedly. All this evidence was collected and embodied into a report; ami the Committee reported by the hands or their Chairman, Mr. Floyd, now Governor of Virgi nia. And what did he say, and what did that committee savr 44 The coinmitttec does not perceive any thing 4 in the principle of these arrangements with the 4 Banks, either in violation of law, or contrary 4 to the usage of the Government, since the Trea 4 sury has, for many years, had agreements with 4 more or less of the Banks, by which the public 4 moneys were deposited in such banks, ton 4 dilions as to the mode of drawing being sti 4 pulated, such as were thought beneficial both to 4 the Treasury and the banks, &c. There is much utility in recurring back to these reminiscences, and seeing what others thought, said Mr P. Ii was then thought by Governor Floyd and the committee of the House, that the depnsite of the public money in the lo cal banks by Mr. Craw lord, was an act which was done without disguise or concealment, and for which no censure was applicable to him.— Yet now, when a similar act was performed, the President had been denounced as a tyrant and an usurper, and the Secretary of the Treasury stigmatized as his pliant instrument in an a* Brigdon Mrs Bradley A B Mrs Berry Mrs Brewer Mrs Catharine Butts John P Bruce C Mrs Cau’field Leonard Cook Benj F Chadwick S Carson Wm H Crawford John G Chapman, (La Samuel Coalman Plata) Cupt John Cohagan Mrs Susannah Cooley Ephraim Corning Thomas Cook Benjamin Choate Mrs Rebecca Curry Henry A v^ilis Thomas Cassiliy John Carson l) Edward Davis Benj Dulany Wm II Davis Miss Mary Ann Denty Samuel Dyer Wm Dudley Miss Sarah Davis Patrick Dixon—2 E Wm Egan Mrs Mary Ed wards Geo Ellis F Thomas Fairfax—4 Geo D Fowle Albert Fairfax—13 John F Froble A B Fairfax, IIS N Mrs Ann Maria Fulton Mr** Caroline Fairfax Chas Jas Faullner \1 icaiw fay Phnrnni Ppnwir.lf G Jonathan Gibson Robert Graham Dan’l YV Gibson H Glessmg Henry YV Golden II Reuben Hills Misses E C Herbert Mid'n B YY Hunter Lee Harrison Mis Ann Hudgins G^o Hughes Joseph Hopkins—3 Mrs Marv B Hussey Samuel Hills Capt John Howe Samuel Herring Capt Henry II Halley Mrs Mary Hutchins Charles Hawkins John Harris YVm Howard J M iss Martha Iglehart Henrv C Johnson K Mrs Ann YY King James P Kirby L Norman Long Frederick Lovell Burton Lvnch James Lee (carpenter) M John YV M oss Jesse H Magruder Henry Mansfield Mrs Jane Monroe Daniel Monroe John E* Mattingly Peter Madala Master of Ledge No 22 James Morris N Miss Cecelia Norris Miss Caroline Norbeck j Capt Nickerson Philip Nelson P John Paine Ignatius D Pickerall Mrs Ann Piper John Parson I Presley Parker Archibald Pool Craven D Peyton R Capt YY'illis Rose John C Rogers Josiah S C Rutter Miss Sviva Ruler Dan’l Rich M ary Ruler S M rs M aria Summers Hubbard Scranton—3 Mrs Dealy Stewart Miss Sarah M Stuart Harrison Simpson Mrs Sarah Shakes Thomas Smyrna Mrs Lucy Simpson YVm Smith John L >mith YVm Stanet Miss Susan H S!ye T Albert Trigo Ezra Towne Jonathan Tippitt Levering Thomas Emeline Triplett Capt Joseph Taylor R Y\Toodward Charles YVright R Windsor, Jr Mrs Jane YVeeks Miss Harriet H YVhit- Mrs Sarah YVilliams ney—2 Mrs YVindsor Mi9* Marv M YVest Wm P Wilmer Miss Margaret Walker DAN’L. BRYAN, P. M. Alexandria, January 2, 1834—3t I A writer, in the Alexandria Gazette, who hails from Dumfries, has made a gratuitous at tack upon the project of the Rail Road pet ween i Potomac Creek Richmond. He wishes to draw attention to the policy of improving the 'road between this place and Alexandria, via Dumfries—a measure, highly important to the public, and one which we certainly shall not op pose. But we think the construction of the Raii Road, from Richmond to Fredericksburg, or even to Potomac Creek, so far from interfering with the improvement advocated by the writer, would promote it essentially, Supposing the projected improvements to the South all complet ed, and a continuous Rail Road from Mobile to the Potomac Creek, the Steamboat navigation, I thence to the city, being subject to interruption from ice, would always be a defective link in the great chain of Intercommunication. W hether this would be an inconvenience so serious as to justify, or require, extension of the Road from Potomac Creek to Washington must be determi ned bv experience- It is evident, however, that the route through the “Serbonian bog” will never—except in such a contingency—be im proved. It is in vain to hope that a Turnpike, or indeed a graded road, will be made to be u*ed only when the navigation of the Potomac is in terrupted, say, at farthest, five or six weeks of the year. If these observations are well found ed it will be seen that the Dumfries Correspon dent of the Gazette has nocause to view with jealousy the projectld Rail Road; on the con trary, that its success affords the only hope j a faint one, we confess—of ever seeing anv im provement in the road leading through this Town —a road the horrors of which in winter—the on ly time it is ever used—can scarcely be exagge rated.—Fredericksburg J.Irena. The Murderer of Miss Cunningham.—W e published an article yesterday from the Port De posite paper, respecting the arrest and impiison ment of a man on suspicion of being the murderer of Miss Cunningham, in Cecil county, in April, 1825. We are now informed in addition to the article published yesterday that the man arrested is a shoe maker, who has resided at, or in the p„r» n i maliIii n v r cinrp 1 h n 'h l-’ murder was committed—and that in one instance he appeared as a witness, and testified strongly againt two men who, a few years since, were ar rested on suspicion of having committed, or be ing accessary to, the said murder; and had it de pended on his testimony alone, they would in all probability have been convicted. The discovery now made was truly providential. He had hy pothecated a very valuable ring to a man, to whom he was indebted, which ring the creditor placed upon his finger; and soon alter, being in company, it was observed and identified, Miss Cunningham’s name being still legible! On be ing questioned, he informed from whom he re ceived it, and for what purpose, and referred to two persons who were present at the transaction. Process was accordingly issued, and the suspect ed culprit was arrested, and is now confined in Elkton jail. On searching his premises, we al so learn that a stocking, belonging to the deceas ed was also found, which, on comparing, corres ponded precisely with its fellow which has ever since been preserved bv her family. Niles’ Re gister, of the 23d April, 1825, in mentioning the horrid account of the murder, says—“She was just about to be married, and her ring% the em blem of plighted faith, was carried oft' It is pos sible that this circumstance may lead to the dis covery of the murderer —Balt Chron.

One of (he victims of Proscription, it will be seen, has appealed to the Representatives of the People to interpose in behalf of the right of 0pi. nion and the liberty of speech. Will his appeal 1 be disregarded by those whose province it ig ((J I preserve the freedom of the citizen? We sut> j.*in what occurred in the House of Representa tives on the subject on Tuesday: Mr Da vis, of M ass., rose and said that he held m his hand the petition of Noah Fletcher, a native citizen of Massachusetts, buf at present of the District of Columbia, and lately a Cicrk in the service of this House, which stated that he had long been in the service of the Govern ment, not, however, in any office of distinction and emolument, but a9 a laborer. That he had removed from his native State to this District, where he had contracted the relations of a hus band and a father, and had a family of numerous children, dependent upon fiis exertions. That all he had been able to save out of the earning? of many years of toil was invested in this city. Mr. D said, further, that he understood tfie me morialist was in esteem here for good conduct, being universally held as a man of upright and honorable character. He came to this House to demand redress for what he conceived to be an injury inflicted upon him. He had been remoe. ed from office without previous admonition, and, so lar as he knew, without fault. 'The petition, er, Mr. D. said, considered this House as the sanctuary of the People of the country, the sanc tuary, in a peculiar manner, of their liberties and privileges. it was here that a free citizen of tins Itepublic might flee, anil lay hold upon the horns of the altar. Here, to the Representatives of the whole i nation, he might pour out his grievances, and tell his wrongs; and it was here that he hail a right to demand redress. He must be allowed to say that the eyes of the nation were always directed towards this body with peculiar inte rest, inasmuch as they looked to it as the last re* fuge of liberty. No wrong, no violence, no at bitrary despotic use of power, should here be to lerated. And if, said Mr. L) there is, in ihe 'community, a Verres, whose arm shall dare to put the scourge over the helpless, it ought to he safeguard enough for any man to say, i am Roman citizen.” Here, Mr L). said, was a humble individual, who came to this House, no: as a Roman, but as an American citizen, who asked, respectfully but firmly, of this body, tk redress of an injury which lie considered himself as having sustained. It was one of the great privileges of an American citizen to think ami act, so long as he acted within the law, according to his own judgment and understanding. This, said he, is the great prerogative we all claim —it is the great attribute of a freeman, and the characteristic of liberty itself. It belong# to our freedom that each man shall be permitted to utter his sentiments without re straint, according to the dictates of his con science arid understanding; and wherever this i§ impugned, it is the duty of this House to inter pose, and exert its guardian power. It is for this body to preserve the citizens of this country from being brought under subjection to anv pow er or authority that may rise up and seek to do mineer. Under a conviction of this truth, the petitioner comes here and asks of us redress.— And, give me leave to say, no oppression, no abuse of power, should ever be tulcrated within these walls. Mr Clay, of Alabama, he called Mr. Da vis to order, insisting that he was violating the 45th rule of the House, which directs that when a member presented a petition, he should only briefly state what it contained. The gentleman, on the contrary, was going to deliver his views as to what were the liberties of the People, and into an argument on the merits of the petitioner. *r»u- r_ i .i lie vyitAi-i uniu, me geimtuian noil* AJ js sachusetts was certainly out of orilei, and must confine his remarks to a statement of what tlic memorial contained. Mr. Da vis replied, that it was far from be ing his intention to excite the feelings of gentle men, far less of the learned gentleman from Ala bama, by any remarks he had made. He thought that the ordinary indulgence of the House would permit him to explain the object of the inemoii al, ami the reasons why it ought to be received. So far as his information extended, the course which had been pursued toward this individual was without a precedent. It was so stated, and it seemed to him proper that the House should inquire into the case; that the memorial should be entertained, that the House should inquire who it was that has been guilty of this offensive exercise of power. The memoral stated that it had been done by an officer of the House: by an individual, who but a few days since had been elevated bv the voice of that bodv to the place he held. Mr. D held that, as such, he was ac countable to the authority lliat had appointed him. I he Speaker here interposed, and again re minded Mr. D. that he was not in order. Mr. Davis said he should not proceed farther, if that was the opinion of the Chair. He had on ly been giving a reason why this memorial should je entertained by the House, and why the Hou e »hould act upon the subject to which it referred, ind enquire for what reason power had so been jxercised The memorialist, he said, went on io »tate that he had been removed without cause. It had not been said that he was unfaithful, of incourteous towards the House in the discharge >f his official duty; on the other hand, it was idmitted that he had been always respectful and node«t in his behavior. He had rarely been >een within that hall. He had been removed, d teemed manifest, by the exercise of power done, and therefore it became proper to ask vhv this had been done? to ask whether the pirit of favoritism had been exercised within hose walls? whether the spirit of proscription lad entered there? whether the despot had come nto that House, which either crushed its vie* i»n, or moulded him to its own will! The me norial it was a man of honor and respectability, fc nd he had a right to be heard. Mr. D. regret ed that he had been embarrassed by a rigid ap' dication of a technical rule in a case of this :ind; he had hoped the House would have in lulged him in going into a somewhat more en
Page 3
lar-ed view of a subject which, m itself, was of fearful moment, and intimately connected with he freedom and safety of the People; but, as different course had been pursued, he should re lume his seat, after he had sent to the Chair a resolution which he wished to otter. In the mean while, lie asked for the reading of the memorial. It was read accordingly as follows: To the Honorable the House of Representatives of the United States: Tne Memorial and Representation of Noah Fletcher, late an Assistant Clerk in the Clerk’s Office of said House, respectfully sheweth: That in the year 1819, your Memorialist was appointed by Thomas Dougherty, then Clerk of the House, as an Assistant pro tempore, and that afterwards he was recognized by a Resolution of said House, and directed to be continued in ser vice: since which time, until Friday la*t, your Memorialist has contined to discharge his duty with assiduity, and according to the best of hia abilities, to the satisfaction of the late Clerk, and, so far as known, to the satisfaction of the Members of the House. That, on Friday last, your Memorialist was dismissed from the services of the House by the present Clerk, without any reasons assigned, and, as he alleges, without any good cause, and another person appointed in his place. That vour Memorialist considers this proceed ing oppressive, contrary to the good leelings of the House of Representatives, and against the true spirit of the. Government under which we live. Vour Memorialist, therefore, feels it his duty to make this communication to the House, and claims its interposition. MOAH r LETCHER. Mr Davis then sent to the Chair the following resolution: Resolved, That Noah Fletcher was removed from his office of assistant Clerk in this House without any sufficient cause, and ought to be im mediately reinstated. The Chair said it was not in order for the gentleman to move a resolution at this time, un less by the unanimous consent of the House. Mr. D. enquired whether he could not offer it as a motion, in connexion with the memorial? The Chair replied in the affirmative. Mr. Clay insisted that any motion, accompa nying the petition, must be of the ordinary cha racter, for the reference of the paper to a Com mittee or to give it some other disposition. The SpeIker consulted the ruie, and decided that the motion of Mr. Davis was in order. Mr. Clay then enquired whether it roust not be laid on the table for a day? The Chair replied in the affirmative, provided anv gentleman desired it. Mr. Patton, of Virginia, enquired whether it would not be in order to refer the Memorial to a Select Committee? The Chair replied in the affirmative; but no motion to that effect being made, the motion or resolution, offered by Mr. Davis, was laid ou the table until this day. Neither House of Cobgress was in session yes terday. _ The New York Board of Trade have sent a memorial to Congress against the present govern ment s\stein in relation to the finances of the country.

[■communicated. J Mr. Editor:—It is sometimes true, that Insti tutions of the highest interest, and the richest practical worth, are, for a season, scarcely known-_Not, however, because of any indispo sition in the public mind to know them, or from any reluctance to extern! to them either the smile of encouragement or the more substantial means requisite for their support.— Rut chiefly because of their retiring, modest and unobtrusive ciiarac ters Directing alt their energies towards one simple vet bemticent object, that of doing good in the most noiseless wav,—and m this complete ly absorbed.—their claims to general notice and public approbation have to make their way in si lence_and are never fully appreciated, until, by a natural and steady advance, they are even tually perceived through their results of practi cal loveliness and beneficence These remark* are made with a special refer ence to the School connected with the Orphan Asylum, for poor female children I was privi leged, a few days since,—it is always a privilege io me, and, being equally a duty, is ever resort ed to with pleasure,—with being invited both to witness its operations, and once more to examine the several classes of its pupils, ft was a de lightful hour—a sweet and lovely scene—an en gagement associated with not a single feeling other than that of the purest and the most refin ed satisfaction. I have visited Schools for a si milar purpose often; and from a special interest m the subject of education, constantly kept alive, and perhaps deepened by reason of official rela tions, the emotion of pleasure consequent on such an engagement has become, in some mea sure, a habit of mind. Yet the exhibition was impressed with features which have diffused a grateful and refreshing influence over almost every mind: and it is somewhat questionable, whether even prejudice itself would not have softened and melted away beneath it. The im- provement made since the last year, is both visi ble and striking, and manifests itself in almost very form in which it is ordinarily looked for, except, perhaps, in regularity and punctuality of attendance. And this is an evil for which,—un less indigent and ignorant parents be sent to School also,—I am inclined to think there is no remedy. There are between fifty and one hundred fe male children, rapidly advancing in all the re quisites of a useful education, at an expense, j compared with the blessing promised, of the 1 merest trifle:—amounting, for each pupil per quarter, to not even one dollar! Such is the re sult of a public charity, when conducted by judi cious minds under the influence of a spirit look ing steadily towards one great, and noble, and benevolent object! And no ordinary credit is due both to the Teachers and the taught. But, Mr. Editor, I must stop. I designed to write but a short note; and if I have diverted from your columns matter of a more immediately absorbing character, connected with the public weal in general, you will find my apology in an earnest desire, not only to render tribute to whom tribute is due.” but to keep a generous public constantly apprised of the growth and promise of one of its own children a most inter esting and important charity.

She had been for several years a believer in Jesus: her hope was in his Righteousness, and her de lio-ht to walk in his footsteps.

a—ggsgesg" S1.- g=gg bbh PATENT RIGHT SECURED. BEWARE OF IMPOSITION. SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS. near Frederick town, Maryland. Richmond. Va- July 15, 1830. THE public will be pleased to understand that I was the original discoverer of Judkins* Ointment, and sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the same; but, having connect ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, 1 permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD. OCT Imposition having been practised upon the nub lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud kins* Ointment,** the proprietor avails himself of the authority granted to him in his letters patent, now to call the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins\) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process— ne vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted. Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffled the skill of me* dica) science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or whatsome people know by thename •f catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in I whatever part situate; 7th Tetters of all kinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 8th Chilblains or partsaffected by frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the medical faculty It is much safer than mercurial ap plications, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold. This Oin.ment has cured sores of many years stand ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains. It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES. From the Hon. John Cache Member of the House of Re presentatives in Congress. Washington, March 22, 1826 ^r-My son having been afflicted for five years with white swelling, and having applied every reme dy recommended by the most eminent physicians within my reach without success, 1 at length procured one jug of Dr Judkins* Patent Specific Ointment, and nude the application according to the directions ac companying the Ointment, and state, for the benefit of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect cure was effected. My son has enjoyed-good health ever since. 1 have no doubt that to the Ointment alone he is indebted; for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint ment. Respectfully, John Cocke. Dr. Wm. Gunton, Washington Cit/. From L P. fV. Balch, Esq Counsellor at Law, F ede rick, Md 1 Frkdehick, Md. May 6,1831. Mr. C Herstons—l deem it proper to state, for the l benefit of the public, that, several years since, two ol nny children were affected with scald head of an inve terate character. My family physician, Dr. John T. Wilson, of Leesburg, Va who was very skilful and ju 1 dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every 1 means to effect a cure. At length Judkins’Ointment I was applied, and the affection was permanently reliev- 1 ed. Very respectfully, yuur obedient servant, L. P» W. Balch. From the Honorable John TaUaferrot Member of Con• gras, dated asaiRSTOB,January 22, 1829. j Sir—It has been my wish, fora considerable time, to communicate to you the good effect with which 1 i have used the Ointment invented by a Mr. Judkins, and which I now understand is made and sold by agents appointed by yourself, 1 have applied this Ointment during the last three years to every species of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure in every instance. 1 consider it the most decided and i efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause wbatit may; and 1 have found nothing so good for I wounds of any description. It may be proper to i add, that the cure of a tumor cal'ed white swelling, I given over by the most distinguished physicians as in curable, and which they decided would, without ampu tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins' Ointment, and the patient is in fine health. His limb affected by the tumor being restored to a perfect state of sound ness. Iso that the leg of an aged man which had been i wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur- face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more j th^n two years, had been considered incurable, was ef- j fectually cured by the application of Judkins' Oint- ment. I mention these two cases, whichfell under my immediate notice and management, as a decided evi dence of the efficacy of this remedy in cases of tumor and ofulcerst I have expe.ienced, as decidedly, the good effect of this remedy in the cure of Felons, and of every species of fresh wound. It seems to me that any one who wll observe on the operation of this Oint ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect. lean with the utmostcoofidence recommend the use ofthis valuable remedy. lam, sir, very respectfully, Jobs Taliaverro. N. B. To more fully guard the public, (the proprie tor) C. Herston'a name will appear in his own hand writing, written through the circle outside the ointment pot.

FRANKLIN ARMFJELD. t ReaUU Secured, BY the use of the Hygeisn Vegetable Universal Medicines of the British College of Health, Lon don. which have obtained the approbation and recom mendation of thousands who have been cured, in con sumptions, cholera morbus, inflammations, internally or externally; dyspepsia, fevers, ague, indigestion, hi lious or nervous affections, and all diseases of the liver; yellow fever, gout, rheumatism,lumbago, tic doloreux, dropsy, St. Vitus’s dance, epilepsy, apoplexy, paraly sis, palsy, green sickness, and all obstructions to which the female form is so distressingly liable, and which sends so many of this fairest portion of the creation to their untimely graves; small pox, measles, whooping cough, scarlet fever, asthma, jaundice, gravel, stone, and all urinary obstructions; fistula, piles, strictures, ruptures, and syphilis in all its stages; constipated bow* els, worms, scurvy, itchings of the skin, king’9 evil, and all cutaneous disorders; in short, every complaint to which the human frame is so direfully subject, un der all their varied forms and names; as the Hygeian conviction is, that man is subject to one only real Disease,—that is, TO THE IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD, —from whence springs every complaint that can possibly assail his complicated frame; and that it is the perpetual struggle of this vital, pure stream of life, (the girt of Almighty power) to disencumber it self of its viscous, acrid humours, with which it has be come commixed, through the negligence of parents; the ignorance or maltreatment of the Doctors; or the vicious or gormandizing propensities of us all. This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pleasant and benign in it-operation, and at the same time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to the patients, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the fear of catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustomed habits. These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to excess Experience, which is the touchstone of all human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the fact; and extensive use of them Iras already verified its truth in this country’. These medicines cure by purging; ana yei me wean, the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, because they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably procure sound sleep. They .are the safest and most efficacious menicineto take to sea; preventing scurvy, costiveness, &c. The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation o bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst. One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout the day, mixed in half a wine glass of water. Extract of a Letter to Dr. Moat. Sir: The motive which has induced me to writethis letter to you, is, that I might be instrumental in the recommendation of Morrison’s Universal Vegetable Medicines to the afflicted, which, by the Divine bless ing. has cured me of the Scarlet Fever. My case was as follows: Whilst returning from Washington to Alex andria, I was taken very ill, which obliged me, on my arrival, to retire suddenly to bed, but could not sleep, and the next day my throat became so much inflamed, that I could scarcely swallow; and my face, breast, and body, presented evident symptoms of the great dan ger was in, and I knew not what to do; Calomel or Mercury I abhorred a9 poison, and therefore desired no assistance from the Druggist; but my mother, who had experienced the good effect of the Hygeian Filis in a case or two of her own, most strenuously advised me to try their virtue, which, with reluctance, I con* tented to, and commenced by taking eight No. 1 pills it night, and eight No. 2 the next morning, and con linued taking, increasing daily, morning and evening, until I took sixteen No. 2 at a lime, which were dis solved in water, as, by means of my sore throat, 1 could not otherwise, swallow them. 1 confess the dose made me feel somewhat qualmish, Stc but the pills and the powders, of which 1 took one or two tea-spoonsfull a lay, operated well, and the final result ivas, (hat I fell nto a sound sleep, of which I had been deprived, and he next morning awoke in a state of perspiration, freed rom fever, cool and comfortable, and my reason (for had been deranged in mind) returned; and on the 1th day from the time 1 was first taken, I left my room, ind have ever since enjoyed better health than l did jefore.
