X A v ;_ T S OWDEN i $tE—.---— rv r» la the Senate on W^day, Mn WILKINS •aid he held in ,his hand a petition which touehed on the great subject now agitating Con cress and the whole nation. This petition was signed by his own neighbors and immediate con stituents, and he believed had been produced by an observation which fell from'him on the other day, relative to the causes of the present distress of the country. In the meeting winch had been held at Pittsburg—and he was willing to confess, numerously attended, and by a large portion o his constituents—there was a resolution passed which, in some measure, bore upon him, in con sequence of having used the expression to w hich he now referred. Out of tne proceedings of, that meeting, 'grew the petition he now held m his hand, and which he would presently present.; The proceedings represented that he was mista- i ken in the declaration which he had made, arid that it was received in his (Mr. W’s) own town with much regret and very great astonishment. They ascribed the distress prevailing in the Western country, to a considerable extent, to the removal of the deposites. He did not know that the petition spoke actually that distress now prevailed in the Western country, but it rather referred to the alarm and consternation that had _«n.i to the distress which would inevitably hereafter take place, owing to the re moval of the deposites. It referred partieulai lv to the breaking up entirely of the internal Western exchanges, and attributed the cause particularly to the interruption ot thexommei cial business of that country, and ot the entile Western waters, to the removal of the deposites. Notwithstanding the declarations of that meet in" and notwithstanding the facts alleged in the petition, he did not acquiesce in the opinion, that distress did exist in the Western part ot the coun try to which he now particularly referred. He admitted that the transactions of the internal, commerce of the country, and that winch pie vailed to a vast extent on the Western waters, had been interrupted, and our merchants ex posed to very considerable inconvenience by a measure adopted by the Bank ot the United States, in consequence of the removal of the de posites. But his constituents were entirely mis taken when they ascribed the interruptions and inconvenience now attending the internal ex changes of their country, to the removal of the deposites. His friends—for such he might well call them—although they were his political op ponents, were entirely under a wrong impression; and he should be glad to make a single observa i tion, which he wished to be made known to his constituents, to show them that they are labor-o, it is, indeed, likely to flourish in immortal youth.

This statement shews that,-for 12 years nast, while, there was no foreign demand, be yond what generally exists; when peace' and plenty prevails in all parts ol the world, and no pecuniary obstructions similar to those now' pressing on the country,-clogged the wheels of our commerce, flour has kept up at an aveiage rate, that most of our farmers wrould call a liv ing price. Biit at this moment the country is experien cing a. sudden transition from the golden to the iron age, and at the commencement of this dreadful revolution, down goes the price of flour from l to 1 1-4 per barrel. _ 1 And what do the signs of the times lead us to augur for the next three years? We may ven ture a conditional prediction, having a bright and a dark side. On the one hand Hope glim mers, on the other is seen ruin and despair! Where shall w'e look for relief? To the People w ho alone have the power, (as things stand at present.) to apply an effectual remedy. If the people of the United States will speak out im mediately in a strong and commanding tone, andsay to the President—c* Confiding in your patriotism, we have bestowed upon you the highest office in the gift of a free and enlighten ed people, under the impression that our inter ests, would be protected. But we are deceived, and sadly disappointed. Instead of discharg ing the important duties of the Presidential of fice, with an £eye single,’ to the public welfare, as expressed in the solemn oath taken at your inauguration, you have tamely yielded yourself up to the dictation of selfish and reckless udvi 1 A L 1. n f f h Al» k A I sers; men, VUIUtair ii'Ji wtiu onmnj it iiiv-j III. the good luck to keep above water, and now you are about to make shipwreck of the welfare of a magnanimous, and confiding, but an abu sed and deceived people. You have missed your reckoning, and now you are in duty bound to bring the Siiip of State to anchor, discharge a faithless and unprincipled crew, and speedily tack back to the point you left in J829. This, we solemnly charge you to do, under pain of going into retirement, pursued- by the frowns and execrations ofyour injured Country.” Let the People do this, and the most happy result may be anticipated. But, let them on the con trary, sustain the present Administration in its j lawless and erratic course, and it requires but little foresight to see, that (in a pecuniary sense) they will become accessary to suicide. 2. It is evident from the fluctuations in prices exhibited in the foregoing statement, that traf ficking in flour is a hazardous business, and .that it'would be prudent for men, who wish to keep what money they have and get a little j more, to meddle but little with this trade. And further, that men of limited means ought to get by heart” what Poor Richard says— Large ships may venture more, But little boats should keep near shore.” i It should be remembered too. that from Novem 1 her, 1628, till June, 1829, when the price of flour i ranged Irom $9 to $6 1 2 per ban e), that sundry failures, in different parts of the United States, were the result of speculations in this article. Virginia Herald. i The Test Oath.— Excitement in Spartan burgh7—VJe have received intelligence, of the most authentic character, that the excitement in Spartanburgh against the Te^t Oath, in the Military Bill, is unprecedented; that, in fact, the people of that District are absolutely fran tic” on the subject, and seem determined to re sist by an appeal to arms, if necessary. Some moderate men, who have stood high with the Union Party in that quarter, have endeavored in vain to stem the torrent; and any attempt to enforce the Military Bill thiwe, will, we are as sured, prove the signal of a civil war. Spar tanburg!) stands leady to follow the example of Greenville, and the mountain region of our state mav soon be crimsoned with the blood of brethren shed in mortal strife, unless those who wield the political power, and indeed the desti-: ny of the State, determine to suspend the rash, unnecessary, and proscriptive edict, which now threatens to re-kindle, even more fiercely and disastrously than ever, the almost extinguished fires of civil contention. There are those who make light of these indications of popular dis content; but we know, that they portend a dire convulsion, which, let it terminate as it may, will leave the victorious to mourn, not tri umph, over a scene of domestic desolation.— That people must be in earnest, who, we have j been assured, are too much exasperated to I make idle threats,” and who will pledge life, j honor and fortune in the cause, with a full de-1 termination to redeem their pledges, at any and every hazard.” An awful responsibility rests with those who have brought this crisis upon us; j it is wiih them either to hasten or avert the threat ened mischief, and we earnestly hope, that they will yield up the impulses of party to the nobler ones of patriotism, and in a spirit of wisdom, j moderation and magnanimity, restore the liar-.

Gideon Lee.” k j 'w;;Y^.. Y ;.S *4 4§'*'*A MAJ. dOWNiNXJ’S correspondence. To mv old friend Mr. Dwight of the New York J Daily Advertiser. Washington, 25th January, 1334. Ever since I and the Gineral settled the Post Office accounts, as I tell’d you in my last, by charging the amount that Major Barry is astarn, to Glory” and Reform,” the Gineral has been more easy about it than I am afeard other folks be, especially some of the opposition folks in Congress; they keep smellia round—and un less we can git up another nullification there will be trouble, not only about the Post Office business, but some other branches of the De partments. Congress keeps hammering away yet about tlie deposits, and the Gineral was jist agoin to give up when we got the news from Albany of, the vote of the Legislatin' there in favor of the Gineral in. taking away the Deposits from the J United States Bank, and the vote of the New j Jersey Legislatur, and strong news too that j some other Legislators wM do the same. Tne Gineral was amazingly tickled, and says he Major, I reckon your notion that the people warnt with us on that pint is a mistake, and now says the Gineral, I’ll hang on and keep the De posits, and Biddle may whistle for em.” “Well.” says I, Gineral, we’ll see, and as I said afore, if i the people don’t tell their Legislators another I story, and Congress too afore we are a month older, then,” says I, I know nothing one’m.” —Very well Major, says the- Gineral, we’ll see—and jest then in come Amos and the Globe j man, and some more of our. folks, and lookio pretty streaked too, and 1 got a notion right off there was somethin stirin—and so they began j to tell the Gineral that Biddle was to work bri-1 bin all the people he could to sign petitions to j Congress, asking to put back in the Bank all the deposits agin, and to re-charter the Ban*-:.— j Why,” says the Gineral, aint that too bad Major—we must give the Bank says he that La-! tin pill, there is nothing will stop em^ but that j skiry factus,” (or some sich a name the Gine- j ral calls it). Now, says I, Gineral slop a bit says I—there is one thing puzzles me consiuera- j ble about this bribin business—I should like to j know who they be who are takin bribes—it aint in the natur of things, says 1, for Squire Biddle to bribe the friends of the Bank, for that would be useless—-then, says I, it must be that he is j bribin the enemies of the Bank, and that’s our; party. Now, says I; will you set by and hear j folks say that our party is sich a scabby set of j fellows as to take bribes—if you do, says I, I, wont, and with that I riz up, but afore I could git round the corner of the table I and the Gineral was alone agin. I sat down and said nothin—I gritted my teeth a spell, but that didn’t do much good—1 took my knife and j i whittled the table, but that warnt much better, and the ony way to rights that put tne in a good I temper agin, was to whistle more than forty. I varses of Yankee Doodle, for I didn’t like to say a word to the Gineral whilst I was in a pa 1 shin. The Gineral was all the while walkin up 1 and down the room—so as soon as 1 got through whistling says I, Gineral, I guess we best say no- thin more about bribin, says I; well, says he, Major. I reckon you are right, for the notion never struck me afore that that kinder talk hits right upon the heads of our friends, for they are I the ony ones that need bribin. Now, says I, Gineral, jest lets you and I sit down and talk over this business, and I’ll tell you like a true friend, how the cat is goin to jump, and if it don’t turn out as I tell you, I’ll give you my ax. and throw in my regimentals in the bargain; and so the Gineral he sot down, and 1 went at it. I In the first place says 1 if I git in a pashin you 1 must keep cool—and lfyou git in a passion I’ll keep cool, but if we both git in a pashin, then there is no tellin—well says the Gineral that is a good notion Major, for that’s jest the way the logins do, and they larn wisdom from natur; you never see an Ingin and his squaw git drunk together—when one gits drunk totiier keeps so ber, and so they take turn and turn About. Well says 1, I never herd that afore, but I suppose tho’ they git along better when they are both so ber. O yes, says the Gineral, in wartime that is best, but not in treaty time. Well says I that’s no matter, that aint exactly \rhat I am arter hut I’ve ffut a notion out ori’t which I’ll begin with: Some years ago the Yan kees got drunk and got up a kinder nullification: there warnt much in it al ter uH, according to my old friend Dwight’s book—but folks South thought there was, and so they kept sober; and last year the South got drunk, and then all North kept sober, and that frolic is ended. Now, says I, North and South and East and West are all sober, and all shakin hands, and they say we have been taken a drop too much—there aint no nullification “no where in particular, but its all nullification all about us, and all hands are formin a ring and closin in upon us here, pretty much like a wolf hunt—they all say we_have ta ken the money that belongs to the people, and the people wont be content till we give it up— that’s pretty much the nab of the business—and we shall have petitions and memorials from all quarters tumbliii in upon us, and if we don’t mind them, they will be follow’d by hard nocks, jist like the story iii the Old Spellin Books about the old man drivin the boys from his apple tree —he throw’d grass first, and that doin no good, he tried stones, and that brought em down prit ty quick. The Gineral he begun to git in a pasliin; and, says he, Major, I’m gittin mad. Very well, says I, Gineral, l’li keep cool, accordin to agreement —and with that the Gineral slatted round a spell with his hickory, and talked about New Orleans, and Siminoli, and the Grand tower; and 1 sat whittlin all the while. Why, Major, says.the Gineral, I’ll never never give up thede posites in the world. What, says 1, not if the* people say we was wrong in takin em? Suppose the people say the laws are agin us, what then* Well, says the Gineral, I’ve toll’d em that the laws are only jest as I understand them, and no thing else. Now, says I, Gineral, suppose Clay, or Calhoun, or Webster, was in your office and j said jest so, and you was in Congress, or was one of the people, and didn’t agree with ’em, how then, says I? O, says the Gineral, that’s a very different thing; any one of them fellows would be dangerous to trust with any kind of power. Well, says I, my notion is, however, that the law don’t mean to trust nobody; and as I am peskily afeard one or t’other on ’em will git in here after we go to the Hermitage, I don’t i want to have any thing .done now by us that j they will do, and then tell us they ony do what j we did. That’s the ony thing that puzzles me; i for, says I, Gineral, sass for the goose ought to j. be sass for the gander too. j i Well, says the Gineral, there is somethin in I' that, Major; but, says he, I can’t give up the! 4 deposites any how: Amos says we mustdiold on to ’em, and all our folks say so too. Yes, says 1 I, Gineral, its true enuff the hounds have got the stag down, and got a taste on him afore the hunters come up, and' I suppose there will be j leetle left but the horns and trotters; but, says I, it aint right, and the people will tell us so, you 1 may depend; and all I have to say is, if what t we have done is to be the rule hereafter, I don’t 1 know; but I shotild like to be President for folks might make laws, and all I’d have tod* would be jist to understand ’em accordin to tm notion. I don’t see, Major, says the Gineral, how it js you gitsich odd notions about public sentiment I know I can’t be mistaken, for every letter I have time to read tells me I am right; and I rear the Globe from one eend to t’other every day and that paper tells every thing, and I see no thin there that tells me I am rong. Well, says I Gineral, you know you hain t got time to rea, more than one letter in a hundred that comes That’s true enuff, says the Gineral, but then ou, folks do, and they tell me every thing. Tell y0r every tiling? says 1—but no matter—and so I whistled Yankee Doodle a spell. No, no. Ma jor, says the Gineral, the opposition folks throw dust in your eyes; you don’t see things as clear as the rest of our folks about as. 1 jest was goh to speak, but finding my dander w as lifting. I had to go to whistlin agin, and it took me nigl upon fifteen ininits to git right, and I expected every minit I would have to get my ax and si hickory a spell in the bargain.’ Now, say* j* Gineral, you are the ony man on earth I’d i00j.: at a minit, and let him say so to me. i got du. in my eyes? says I. I not know what is goiu 0. in doors and out of doors? Why, says 1. l10v’ you talk. Now, says I, you jist sit still a Inn, and I’ll show you something, says f, worth looh ing into; and I wentdnto a room where Mr. V Buren and Amos, and some more of our folks git together every once and a while, to many and talk over matters; and I’ve seen so mm" of the games play’d there, and bein naturally curious in most matters. I can play some on 'L nigh upon as slick as Mr. Van Iluren him and I’ll tell you all about it to right?.

BEWARE OF IMPOSITION SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS. near Frederick town, Maryland. Richmond. Va* July 15, 1830. rntip n,.Ki;c wiU be pleased to understand that I was T theWnS di^erer of Judkins* Ointment, and sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817. until the expiration of the same; nut, having ed myself with Dr. JudkinB m the commencement,! permuted the Ointment to bear name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I ha e r^£rement,n “eNSH'mRDp C(TT Imposition having been practised upon the nub lic-fey a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud kins' Ointment*** the proprietor avails himself ot the authority granted to him in h»s 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 Us good effects, l sent it to several physicians, with instructions m 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 makeit, and knowing the difficulty of the process ne vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated s» 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 dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore lew and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those hardened tumors in women*s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people knowr by the name of catarrhs, of every description. Rheumatic nains of the joints; 6th Sprains and bruises of every 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 outof water; 8th Chilblains or partsafTectcd 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 Ointment has cured sores of many years stand ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal th* external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, incretse 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 Cocke, Member of the House of Re presentatives in Congress. Washihotow, March 22, 1826 iSir—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 made the application according to tlie 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. I 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, Johm Cocke. Dr. Wm. Gunton, Washington City. From L. P. IV. Balch, Esq Counsellor at Law, F>edt rick, Md Fbsdeqick, Md. May 6,1831. Mr. C Herstons—\ deem it proper to state, for the benefit of the public, that, several years since, two of 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 means to effect a cure. At length Judkins* Ointment was applied, and the affection was permanently reliev ed. Very respectfully, v our obedient servant, L. P. W. Balch. From the Honorable John Taliaferro, Member of Con gress, dated \v ashington,January 22, 1829. Sir_Ithasbeen my wish, fora considerable time, to 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 efficient 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 add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling, given over by the most distinguished physicians as in curable, and which they decided would, withoutampu iation, 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 perfectstate of sound ness. Iso 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, had been considered incurable, was ef fectually cured by the application of Judkins* Oint ment. 1 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 ofulcers: 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 w.ll observe on the operation of this Oint ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect I can with the utmostconfidence recommend the use ofthis valuable remedy. lam, sir, very respectfully, John Taliavkrro.

H. P- LBB. Baltimore, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. Lex, New London, Conn. m i Dear Six—It is now upwards of twenty years that have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most everv 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 certaintv to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in ete ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you bad made your fortune, and abandoned their manuhac ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, 1 accidentally, saw an advertisement of yours in a New Yorfc newspaper, designating spurious 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 respact. Finding those I 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 your pills, with your written signature. I 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 ray* seffin possession of a medicine 1 so highly prize, that that 1 cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this information. (Lj* To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has only to examine the bill of directions covering each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, and prepared by me; but if oxlt the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

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 pi asant and benign in it*, operation, »nd 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 wav different from their accustom* 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 fact; and extensive use of them has already 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, beca ise they clear the body of its bad humours, arid invariably procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy costiveness, Sic, The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation u; 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, Sib: 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 f 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 ray face, breast, and body, presented evident symptoms of the great dan ger l was in, and I knew not what to do; Calomel or Mercury I abhorred as poison, and therefore desired no assistance from the Druggist; but my mother, who had experienced the good effect of the Hy geian Pills in a case or two of her own, most strenuously advised me to try their virtue, which, with reluctance, 1 con sented to, andcommenoed by taking eight No. 1 pills 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 t ime, which were dis solved in water, as, by means of my sore throat, I could not otherwise swallow them. I confess the dose made me feel somewhat qualmish, Sic.; but the pills and the powders, of which l took one or two tea-spoonsfull day, operated well, and the final result was, that I fell into a sound sleep, of which 1 had been deprived, and the next morning awoke in a state of perspiration, freed from fever, cool and comfortable, and my reason (for r 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 ever since enjoyed better health than 1 did before. You have my leave to make what use you please of this. I wish you success, and am, sir, you: obedient friend, MARY ANN FOWLER. _ —_ 1 4 4 4 AAA AieXfct. II. \j• NHrcil 11. IOJ.J.
