SAM. H. P LEE. Baltimore, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn. Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most every description of disease, and believe they sa« ved many a long doctor's bill by their early and timely use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you hart made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac ture to mercenary ami unfaithful hands. Under this impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of yours in a New York newspaper, designating 9purious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respect. Finding those l had without this test, l be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for >our pills, with your written signature. 1 found many without this test, but none with it, until I came to the Messrs Keerls’, who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using them, found the same effects from them I had always experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my se*fin possession of a medicine I so highly piize, that that 1 cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this information. a—tateat F aaVwna.

In the Senate on ^Wednesday, the VICE PRESIDENT having announced the Special Order, being the Report of the Secietary of the Treasury on the removal of the deposites, the question being on the amendment offered by Mr. Benton— Mr SOUTHARD then rose and said tna£ ft SrmakirgPrUepShi?deVcTs7oVVasCtho hhs ow^ vote but an amendment had been in troduced to which he did not design to anply any of his observations. According to all par liamentary usage, while this amendment" as pending, he was bound to address himselt to it. {fwas, therefore, his wish that the Question should be at once taken on the amendment, and that until that was done, he might reserve "ha >>e had to say. He hoped the question would at once be taken on the amendment, and he de sired that it should be taken by yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were then oldel®d* Mr. FORSYTH said that the question had come on him unexpectedly. The mover.of t e amendment was not present, and he would therefore move to lay the whole subject on the table. The motion was lost. Mr. GRUNDY said he was not disposed to vote for the resolutions in the form in which Ihm; VVPTH offered, but he wished the Senatoi from Missouri to be present. He tftougmine suggestion of the gentleman from New Jeise> S disposal of the preliminary matter a pro S one, and wished that a delay of a few mi nutes might take place, until the Senatoi from Missouri could be sent for. He had no desire to sav a single word on the subject. Mr KING considered the suggestion ot the gentleman from New Jersey as incorrect, and [hat the whole subject was now as completely open for discussion as if the amendment were V' Mr POINDEXTER, wished to make one re mark The subject which had been discussed, and tile resolution of the Senator from Kentuc ky. grew out of the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, and related to the removal ot the deposites. The amendment which had been presented bv the Senator from Missouri, had no relevance whatever to that question. It was en tirely a distinct proposition, which die Senator from Missouri might present in a different form; when, if he desired the testimony, of the Presi dent of the United States Bank, or any other testimony, be could submit a proposal for a i Committee of the Senate, before which it might be obtained upon oath. But now. while the rea sons of the Secretary were under discussion, the Senator from Missouri had closed a four days’ speech, by making a proposition which was absurd, and had no possible connection with the subject Therefore, he thought, taat the Senator from New Jersey was correct in drawing aline between the amendment and the resolutions of the Senator from Kentucky. He hoped that the question would be at once ta ken on the amendment, to which, in anothei view, he objected, as placing the Senate in the position of a grand jury putting an individual on nis trial. Mr FO iSYTH repeated that he could not have anticipated that the question would have been taken this morning. He had come to the Se nate, expecting to hear the remarks ot thegen tlt man from New Jersey, and he was not him __3 Ilia !nnpn(lmpnt Hi1 had no objection, however, that the question should be taken, but he desired to see every member in his seat, especially as the amt nd nent had been so severely, and, as he thought, so unjustly assailed bv the Senator from Mis sissippi. He thought that the amendment had a reiorenceto the subject under discussion, and referred the Senate to the reasons assined for the removal of the Deposites, by the feeietaiy of the Treasury, among which are the enor mous curtailments of the issues of the Bank, and the application of its funds to electioneer ing purposes. Now, the amendment had re ference to both these points. He was not quit satisfied that the course of the Senator from Missouri was the correct one, but assuredly the amendment had reference to the subject, and did not deserve the epithets used by the gentle man from Mississippi. He was not disposed to take the reasons of the Secretary on one hand, or the argument of the Bank on the other, without further investigation; but he wished that examination to be by a committee of the Senate. Here Mr. BENTON came in. Mr. KANE moved a division of the question, so that it be first taken on striking out. The CHAIR decided the motion to be out of order. The question was then taken on the amend ment of Mr. Benton, and decided in the nega tive as follows: YEAS—Messrs. Benton, Brown, Grundy, Hill, Kane, Linn, Morris, Sheply, Tallmadge, Tipton, White, Wright—12. NAYS—Messrs.

In the following answer of the Postmaster Ge neral to a call from the Senate, our readers have official information of the fact, to which we have heretofore occasionally alluded, of extensive loans of money having been contracted by the post Office Establishment, at a time, too, when that Department was reported to be in a pi os perous condition, and even to have a laige sur plus of money on hand.—Nat. Int. General Post Office Department, January 6, 1834. S To the Hon. Martin VanBuren, rice President of the lnited States, and President of the Haute. Sm: In obedience to the resolution of the toe nate of the 31st ultimo, I have the honor to state that this Department has borrowed, between the 23?h of December, 1832, and the present date, and which still remains unliquidated, to the a mount of $350,000, viz: Loaned of the Manhattan Bank, at New York, at different times between the 28th of December, 1832, and the 1st of April, 1833, $100,000 Between the 25th October and the 31st of December, 1833, _W^200000 Of the Western Bank of Philadelphia, on the 28th of April, 1833, 50,000 Of the Bank of Maryland, on the 5th June, 1833, o0>0UU Of the Commonwealth Bank of Boston, on the 1st November, 1833, 50^000 Making, together, i’.s above, the sum of $350,000 A loan was also made of the Patriotic Bank of this city, on the 1st of May, 1833, of $50,000, for six months, which was repaid when it be came due. In all these cases, an interest is allowed at the rate of six per cent, per annum. The above comprises all the moneys borrow ed by the Department on interest. Some ot the Banks, in which Postmasters deposit then bai _*iw» n^nartment. have been (Uivco tv/ Uiv vvv r i overdrawn by the Department; but to what a mount cannot be precisely ascertained, because the state of their accounts is changing every day, by deposites being made in such Banks; but the total amount of such over drafts is esti mated at $50,000, from which sum it will not es sentially vary. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, _\y^T\^BAKK\. MR. BINNEY’S SPEECH. On the Removal of the Deposites. [extract.] I mean to discuss this great question, sir, as I think it becomes me to discuss it, on my hist entrance into this House; as it would become any one to discuss it, having the few relations to extreme party that l have; and being desir ous for the short time that he means to be con nected with the station, to do or omit nothing that shall be the occasion of painful reflection hereafter. 1 mean to discuss it gravely and temperately; not sir, because it is not a fit sub ject for the most impassioned and vehement ap peals to every fear and hope that a patriot can entertain for his country; for I hold, without doubt, that it is so; but because, as the defence of the measure to be examined comes to this House under the name and in the guise of “Rea son,” 1 deem it fit to receive it, and to try its pretensions by the standard to which it appeals, and this also, in my judgment, best becomes my own position. I mean to examine the Secreta ry's paper, as the friends of the measure say it ou"ht to be examined—to take the facts as he stages them, unless in the same, or in other pa pers proceeding from the same authority, there are contradictions, and then I must be allow ed the exercise of private judgment upon the evidence—to take the motives as the Secretary alleges them—to add no facts, except such as are notorious or incontestible, and then to ask the impartial judgement of the House upon my answer. oil* me enori seciu^ iu ut mmusi ry. The great practical answer is already giv en by the condition of the country. No reason ing in this House can refute it; none is necessa ry” to sustain it. It comes to us, it is hourly com ing to us, in the language of truth and bitter ness of heart, from almost every quarter of the country; and, if any man is so blind to the real ities around him, as to consider all this but as a theatrical exhibition, got up by the Bank, or the friends of the Bank, to terrify and deceive this Nation, he will still be blind to them, until the ca tastrophe of the great drama, shall make his fa culties as useless for the correction of the evil, as they now seem to be for its apprehension. Mr. Speaker, the change produced in this country, in the short*pace ol three months, is without example in the history of this or any other Nation. The past summer found the Peo ple delighting in the apparent adjustment of some of the most fearful controversies that ever divided them. The Chief Magistrate of the Union had entered upon his office for another term, and was receiving more than the honors of a Roman triumph from the happy and grate ful People of the Middle and Northern States, without distinction of party, age, or sex. Na ture promised to the husbandman an exuber ant crop. Trade was replenishing the coffers of the Nation, and rewarding the merchant’s en terprise. The spindle, and the shuttle and every instrument of mechanic industry, were pursuing their busy labor with profit. Internal improvements were bringing down the remo test West to the shores of the Atlantic, and binding and compacting the dispersed inhabi tants of this immense territory, as the inhabitants of a single State. One universal smile beamed from the broad and happy face of this favored country. But, sir, we have had a fearful ad monition, that we hold these treasures in earth en vessels, and a still more fearful one, that misjudging man, either in error or in anger, may, in a moment, dash them to the earth, and break into a thousand fragments the finest creations of industry and intelligence. Sir, there is one great interest in this nation, that is, and I fear will for some time continue to be particularly subject to derangment, and yet every other interest is intimately and inse parably involved in it: I mean the currency.— We have probably three hundred and fifty banks from which this currency is derived. We have at least eighty millions of Bank notes, with a metallic circulation along with it, not greater, perhaps, than as one to seven. We have, it nlay be, one hundred and thirty millions of Bank notes and Bank deposites,performing, in part, the same office, with a little more than twenty mil lions of specie in the banks to sustain it. It is a system depending essentially for its safety upon public confidence, and that confidence depend j ingof course upon the regularity of the whole I machine, which again depends upon the con trol that governs the whole. When compared with the currencies of England and Frarme^in the former of which the meia the latter estimated as nearly one half, and heeenhQW I"confidence's’^requmeci here^and ran^nTTet'^r^u^ and emu lation^ and ^control has worked well, and it has voike y by means of them. nf the In an instant, sir, almost m the m dst of the smiling scene I have described, without any preparation of the country at large, with nothing by way of notice but a menace, winch no one but the Bank itseif, and she only from the .m stinct of self-preservation, seems to ha\e r s pected, this most delicate of all the instruments of political economy, has been assaulted de ranged, and dislocated; and the whole scene of enchantment has vanished, as by the command of a wizard. The State Banks are paralyzed they can do, or they will do, nothing, i ne Bank of the Uuited States stands upon her own defence. She can do, or she will do, nothing, until she knows the full extent of the storm that is to follow, and measures her ability, to meet it. Prices are falling, domestic exchange; is faid ling, Bank notes are falling, Stocks are falling, and, in some instances, have fallen dead. 1 he gravitation of the system is disturbed, and its loss threatened; and it being the work ot man and directed only by his limited wisdom, there is no political La Place, or Bowditch, that can foretell the extent or the mischiefs of the de rangement, or in what new contrivance a com pensation may be found for the disturbing force Sir whence has come this derangement/ ,lt comes from the act of the Secretary in removing the deposites, and in declaring his doctrine oj an unregulated uncontrolled State Bank paper cur rency. It is against all true philosophy to assign more causes than are sufficient to produce the ascertained effect. This cause is sufficient— this, I verily believe, has produced it and 1 hope for the patient attention of the House to my humble efforts hereafter, to show that no thing else has produced it. Sir the Secretary of the Treasury has, in my __ L/Unranf one error which he is wholly inexcusable; it is, in part, the error of the argument that has proceeded from the honorable member from Tennessee. That er ror lies in supposing that there were but two ob jects to be considered in coming to bis decision upon the deposites—the Administration and the Bank. The country has been forgotten. The Administration was to vindicate its principles. The Bank was to be made to give way to them. The consequences were to be left to those whom they might concern, and they are such as mod erate human wisdom might have foiesecn, such as are now before us. hile the Administra tion is apparently strong, and the Bank undis turbed, the country lies stunned and stupefied by the blow; and it is now for this House to say, whether they will continue the error by forget ting the country here also, or will endeavor to raise her to her feet, and assist her in recover from the shaft thui was aimed at the hank, but has glanced aside and fallen on hei own bo som, _ Interesting Calculation.—The following, from the Charleston Observer, is commended to the reader who chews tobacco. Allow that a young man, who is a confirmed tobacco-chewer, may live twenty-five years.— In each day there will issue from his mouth half a pint of fluid too nauseously disgusting to describe. In twenty-five years this will amount to five hundred and fifty gallons, or more than four hogsheads of this detestable mass. In the same time, allowing him only two ounces a day, he will roll as a sweet morsel under his tongue half a ton of the hateful weed, which will sick en a dog or kill a horse, forminga heap of the size of a hay-stack. Then his rejected quids would form a still larger pile. Now if such a young man could see ten half hogsheads full of abominable fifth, destined to pass through his mouth—a wagon load of tobacco, and ten wheelbarrows heaped up with quids, designed for an equally intimate association with his lips, how would the prospect affect him? And if the delicate young lady who is to be the part ner of his life could see the same, how envia ble would be her emotions? The Sailor Preacher— Most of our readers are probably aware that a gentleman, the lte\. Mr. Taylor, has for several years been preach ing at Boston with great force, and to crowded auditories. His sermons are principally addres sed to mariners; and as he was once a sailor himself, and familiar with their habits, condi tion, and turn of thinking, and possessed withal of uncommon powers of native eloquence, it is not surprising that his labors should be attended with marked and salutary effects. A writer in the Western Monthly Magazine gives the fol lowing sketch of one of his appeals to his sea faring hearers, which may be classed with the most eloquent effusions of Whitfield:— I once heard him preach, (says the writer) to them; he represented us as on board a ship in a tempest; with really wonderful power, he painted the coming on of the storm—the sky is hid; the ocean awakes; all is made fast; but the tempest becomes every moment more violent; the sails are torn from the yards; the masts are cut away; the ship settles down, as the waves break over her; and now,’ he said, in that low, calm, distinct, tone, that goes more home to the soul than any other; now my friends, that our canvass is gone; not a spar left for a jury-mast, and the leak gaining upon us, what shall we do? Hark! do you not hear the waters as they rush in below? Do you not see her settle by the head? Do you not feel her tremble?’ And now’ he leaned forward, and gradually raised his voice, till it seemed almost to bespeak agony; one moment more fellow sailors, and this good ship of ours will sink into the deep; a moment i more, and we, who have laughed, and sung, and made merry within the hour, will be struggling with the eternal waves; but we shall swim and struggle in vain; we must die if there be no hope at hand; and is there none? is there no way ofescape? Save yourselves, save your selves if you can.’ It w'as enough—I saw twen ty arms throw n up, as if to catch a rope, and an old gray-headed sinner by my side, hung on to j the banisters, and trembled more by half, than he wrould have done, had he been indeed wreck ed. After a moment’s pause, in a low distinct tone, the preacher continued: 1 yes, fellow mari ners, you may be saved; you may escape; there is a life boat at hand; seize upon it, in the name of God, seize upon it, and make it yours, and live—that life boat is Jesus Christ.’ Talking on the subject of metempsichosis, a silly young man observed, that he remembered having been the golden calf. “Very likely,” said a lady, for you have lost nothing but the gilding.” BANK OF VIRGINIA.

Ti wimi enwmnwii i i iwii -»ii P1i'R!VT RIGHT SECURED. BEWARE OF. IMPOSITION. SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTOSS, near Frederick town, Maryland. Kichmojtd. Va. July 15, 1830 THE public will be pleased to understand that I was the original discoverer of Judkins* Ointment, and aole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the same; but, having connect ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I permitted the Ointment to bear hit name. 1 he 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. SHEPHERD. (0* Imposition having been practised upon the nub tic by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud kins* Ointment,** the proprietor avails himself ot the authority granted to him in hi9 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 ME NT, (formerly Judkins\) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances experienced its ^ood effects, 1 9ent 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 tua»ion,asit 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 dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those hardened tumors in wom-n*s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by the name •f catarrhs, of every description. JIU llli^UlUAWIV ^k*»*»*' v 6th Sprains and bruises ofevery description, or in 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 bv frost. It is also one of the best remedies for bums and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a 9bort 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 Oimment 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 o» 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 lion. John Cache Member of the House of Re presentatives in Congress. W ASrt.soT *5, Man h 22, 1826 Air—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. I at length procured one jug of Dr Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment, and unde the application according to the directions ac companying the ointment, and state, for the benefit of the affl cted. that before one jug was used, a perfect cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health ever since. 1 have no doubt th it 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, Jonx Cocke Dr. Wm. Gunton, Washington City. From L P. tV. Batch, Esq Counsellor at Law, F ede rick, Md Frederick, Md. May 6,1831. Mr. C Herstons—1 deem it proper to state, for the benefit of the public, that, several years since, two of I my children were affected with scald head of an inve terate character. My family physician, Dr John T. WilsoD, of Leesburg, Va. who was very skilful and ju dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every mems to effect a cure. At length Judkins’ Ointment was applied, and the affection was permanently reliev ed. Very respectfully, our obedient servant, L. P. W. IUlcu. From the Honorable John Taliaferro, Member of Con- g*ess. dated Washington, January 22, 1829 Sia—It has been my wish, for a considerable time,1 \o communicate to you the good effect with which 1 have used the Ointment invented by a Mr. Judkins, and which I now understand is made and sold by agents appointed by yourself, I 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. I consider it the most decided and ei&cient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause whatit may; and I have found nothing so good for wounds of any description It may be proper to j add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling, given over by the most distinguished physicians as in* curaoie, 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 i n fine health His limb affected by the tumor being restored to a perfect state of sound ness. *lso that the leg of an aged man which had been wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more than two years, bad been considered incurable, was ef- i fectually cured by the application of Judkins* Oint ment. I mention these two cases, which fell under my immediate notice and management, as a decided evi dence of the efficacy of this remedy in cases of tumor and of ulcers* 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 1 can with the utmostconffdence recommend the use of this valuable remedy, lam, sir, very respectfully, John I aliatkhro.

This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not >ne 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 i harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pi >asant and benign in it operation, and at the same time the 1 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 I 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 accustomt d 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 fur-t. un/1 pvt^naiirp IUP nI tllfMTl ll»S tllreHllv Verified its truth in this country. These medicines cure by purging; and yet the weak, the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, because they clear the body of its bai humours, and invariably procure sound sleep They are the safest and most efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy, costiveness, fitc. The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation ot 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 ha»>induced me to writethis letter to \ou, 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 1 could scarcely swallow; and my face, breast, and body, presented evident symptoms of thr great dan ger I was in, and 1 knew not what to do; Calomel or Mercu* y I abhorred as poison, and therefore desired no assistance from the Druggist; but my mother, who had experienced the good effect of the Hygeian Pills in a case or two of her own, most strenuously advised me to try their virtue, which, with reluctance, 1 con sented to, and commenced by taking eight No. 1 pil;s at night, and eight No 2 the next morning, and con tinued taking, increasing daily, morning and evening, until I took sixteen No. 2 at a time, whiclL were dis solved in water, as, by means of my sore throat, I could not otherwise swallow’ them. 1 confess the dose made me feel somewhat qualmish, 8cc but the pills and the powders, of which l took one or two tea-spoonsfull a day, operated well, and the final result was, that 1 fell into a sound sleep, of which 1 had been deprived, and the uext morning awoke in a state of perspiration, freed from fever, coo! and comfortable, and my reason ^for I had been deranged in mind) returned; and on the 9th day from the time I was first taken, I left my room, and have e\er since enjoyed better health than 1 did before.
