All advertisements appear in both papers, and are inserted at the usual rates. C O N G R E S SIONAL. DEBATES IN THE SENATE. The incidental debates in the Senate on the Deposite question have been very animated and interesting. These short speeches to the point, tell much better than labored orations. They are more eagerly read and better remembered* In the Senate on Friday, when a memorial from North Carolina on the Deposite question was under consideration, Mr. FORSYTH said: The proper course would be to refer these pe titions at once to the proper committee, and it would be their business to ascertain the charac ter, political and personal, intellectual and mo ral^ of those who had signed them; to sift the ar guments contained in the petitions, and to form their judgments whether these petitions did or did not exhibit a fair expression of the public will. To the full exercise of public opinion, he would make no objection. But why were the Senate to go in advance of the Committee, and to make all these inquiries in the open Senate? Were we to take for granted all the assertions of honorable Senators? Were we to adopt all their theories without examination, and to be persuaded, on this floor, that, when the Legisla ture of a State send here resolutions, they did not know what was the opinion of their consti tuents, and wc were directed to receive the pe tition of a meeting of citizens as evidence of the fact? Were they to hear ail mis, ana noi gu in to any discussion of the subject? feuch discus sion would more properly come up after there had been a report from a committee. It was certainly of importance that gentlemen here should know what was the true opinion of those who sent them here. There could be no possi ble objection to the printing of these petitions. The perpetual dingingof one tone into the pub lic ear, whether in the presenting of the misera ble petition of some half dozen individuals, or a legislative expression of public opinion, could have but one elTect, and that was to increase the public agitation. Mr. CLAY said: The President resorts to a high-handed mea sure; violates, as we believe, the Constitution; tramples upon the laws; wrests from us the cus tody and control of the public treasure and the general currency. The People petition and re monstrate, and fill the city with their Commit tees, sent hereto expose their grievances, and to solicit speedy and effectual redress. Under these circumstances, the gentleman from Geor gia rises in his place, and tells us that all discus sion, in presenring these petitions, is unprofita ble; and, remonstrating against it, he expresses the hope that, hereafter, the business may be si lently transacted. I tell the gentleman from i Georgia, and he may tell the Pres,dent, that, when the Constitution has been outraged, the liberties of the country brought in danger, and the highest interests of the People put in jeopar dy, the Senate will not be silent—Congress will not be silent—the People will not be silent. Un til I am prepared to bow my neck to the yoke of despotism, for one, I will remonstrate, protest, and loudly proclaim the dangers impending over us. I have no doubt that discussion is painful, and provokingly impertinent, to the tenant of yonder White House—that he would prefer dead silence and universal submission; but l trust that these miserable petitions, as the Senator from Georgia denominates them, will continue to come in; that the country will become sensi sible to the reality of the existing dangers; that discussion, in every form, and on every occa sion, will take place; and that finally, the Con stitution and the laws will resume their accus tomed authority. The gentleman from New York; (Mr.WRiGHT,) declares that he is opposed to any Bank of the United States. But he is only one gentleman; he mav not be here when the question comes up; he may be otherwise provided tor; he may re view and alter his judgment. I understand that in the State of New York, by common consent a sort of statute of limitations exists against all political opinions of two years’ duration. Bank or no Bank! There is no such question now or hereafter likely to arise. All feel and own that a United States Bank is indispensable. And I have but little doubt that the very spot is now in view, if the ground be not actually laid off, on which a magnificent banking-house is contem plated in Wall street. Why, what did the Pre sident tell the New York Committee of merchants which lately visited him? That the Govern ment, (not Congress,) but the Government—in his sense of the term, that he was determined to try the experiment ot the league banks, and, if that failed, he would try some other. And what other, that failing, but the Wall street bank? Mr. WRIGHT said: The honorable Senator has spoken of the sta tue of limitations in the State of New York as to political opinions. Of this I know nothing, and it can have no influence with me. He had given here, Mr. W. said, his honest convictions in re ference to that most dangerous institution, the Bank of the United States. He believed it to be a dangerous institution, and would continue so to believe although the honorable Senator had intimated5that he might hereafter be found on the other side. Experience might have taught the Gentleman what he had not yet learned; but he would tell the Senator that, if ever he chang ed his opinions, he hoped in Heaven, not to find it necessary to detail, in justification, his pi iv ate transactions with a moneyed institution. But again, he had been told that be was deceived by those with whom he acted—that their opposi tion was not to a Bank, but to the location of it. If ever he could learn that the gentleman from Kentucky understood the opinions of fiis consti tuents better than himself, (and to understand them better, the gentleman must be better infor med than the evidence of the last two or three years would warrant him to believe) he would then be willing to go to him to learn them. Mr. CLAY said, in reply: In reference to his change of opinion on the subject of the Bank of the United States, he was glad it had been again touched upon. It had been frequently adverted to, and he would now notice it. About twenty-three years ago, this! question was agitated. In 1811 he was without j any war experience, or any great experience of his own, and there were then not more than fif ty banks in existence in the country, and he did express that opinion, in a speech against the creation of a bank, which very speech gentle men were now circulating in a garbled form, wherever they thought its circulation would fur ther their views. He had then believed the Bank to be unconstitutional. What he now said,* was not for the purpose of gaining ap plause or praise; but, during a political life of thirty years, this was the only question of pub lic importance on which he had changed his opinion. And what were the circumstances which had wrought this change? The experience of the war, and of the operations of these very Banks, which the gentleman said had so triumphantly borne us through difficulties, had compelled him to review and revise his opinions. What was the fact? The Government issued paper bear i ing an interest of six per cent., which it pledged the faith of the country to redeem. For this pa per, guarantied by the honor and faith of the Government, there was obtained, for every 100 dollars, 80 dollars from these Banks which sus pended their specie payments. The experience of the war, therefore, had shown the necessity for the Bank. The country could not get along without it. He had, then, changed his opinion on the subject and he had never attempted to disguise the fact that he had changed it, in consequence of the experience which he had obtained. He had doubts if experience could have the effect of changing any opinions of the gentleman from New York, or the gen tleman from North Carolina. He had changed his opinion with Madison and other men, as wise certainly as either of the members from New York, or from North Carolina. Did he skulk on this occasion. He held at that time a situation in the House, which would have per mitted him to lock up his opinion in his own breast. He was then the presiding officer of the House of Representatives. The question was not to continue a Bank, because there was none in existence, but to create one; and he had then j come forward, as honest men ought to come for ward,and expressed his change of opinion, at the time when Mr. Madison, who was the President, and other distinguished men, changed their course. He could point to Senators here and there, who had then changed, as well as to prom inani niHvpnc thrmiurhnnt the cmintrv: while lef? islative bodies changed. A gentleman who now held a high judicial station in Virginia, and who could not, consistently with his own views of the constitution, vote for the Bank, was so convin ced of its necessity, that, as he had recently ad mitted in a pamphlet, he went out of the House that he might not oppose it. He himself had changed, because the good of his country requi red that he should change his opinions; and, as he had said, the experience of the war had shown that the Bank was indispensably necessa ry. He felt regret that any disclosure which he had made of his own relations with the Bank, should nave given pain to the Senator from New York. In reference to his own affairs, the gentleman might make such disclosures as he thought proper, but probably any disclosures concerning the condition of some of his political friends at Albany, at this moment,would not be very pleasant. In reference to himself, it was well known to his friend from Mississippi and others, that, at a public tavern in Virginia, the President had made certain statements rela tive to his (Mr. Clay’s) situation with the bank which had been circulated through all the news papers on that side, and which he had found it necessary to meet with a flat contradiction.
MR. PATTON’S REMARKS: On the Deposite Question—made in the House of Representatives on the 17th inst. The SPEAKER laid before the House a me morial, signed by about S00 of the merchants and other inhabitants of Richmond, praying for the restoration of the deposites to the United States Bank. Mr. PATTON said the accidental connection which he had with the memorial which had just been read—a connection growing entirely out of the necessity—that some one, according to the usual custom of the House, should call for the reading ofmemorials on this subject—made it proper, and perhaps necessary that he should state, without entering upon any discussion of the questions of constitutional law or national policy, which constituted the topics of the me morial, that from most of the propositions and inferences contained in it he wholly dissented. 1 shall not, (said Mr. P.) at this late period of thp dav. avail mvself of the example which has I been so frequently set in the House lately, to enter upon an elaborate exposition of my opin-! ions, and the reasons which have induced me to adopt them. 1 hope to have an opportunity of doing so at large, before the discussion in the regular lorm, and on the direct question, shall be terminated. For the present, I beg leave to say that I do not agree with the memorialists, that the Chief Magistrate, in the course pursued by him to procure the removal of the deposites by the Secretary of the Treasury, viz: by the removal of Mr. Duane, has been guilty of any unconstitutional assumption of power. I con cur with the memorialists,that thequesti >ns which I have arisen out of this matter, do involve an in quiry as to the proper line of distinction and separation between the Executive, Legislative, ajid Judicial departments of the Government, as secured by the Constitution, and the separation of which, and restriction of each of which, with in its own orbit, are essential to the preservation of the public liberty, according to one of the re ceived maxims of free government. But it seems to me that if the principles asserted in the memorial of the citizens of Richmond, be adopted and carried out to their legitimate con sequences, there will be accomplished an utter subversion of the barriers erected by the Consti tution for the protection of the Executive branch of the Government, in the administration of the functions devolved upon it, and a very rapid stride will be made towards the consummation, so much dreaded by the Fathers of the Repub lic—the consolidation of all the powers of Gov ernment, in the engulphing vortex of the legis lative department. I think with the memorialists, Mr. Speaker, that the proceedings of the Executive, in this matter, were unwise, inexpedient, and ill-timed; but, at the same time, supposing that the Presi dent honestly believed that the law justified, and the public interests reqiured, the removal of the 1 deposites, (and we have no right, from any evi dence before us, to say that he did not,) then it seems to me that it was his constitutional right and official duty, to displace the recusant Sec retary of the Treasury. In relation to another proposition maintained by the memorialists, I differ with them. I do not admit that the removal of the deposites in volved any violation of public faith, or that any obligations of contract require them to be resto- red. I regard the question, whether they ought to be restored, as a question, of politicai expedi- i ency. It is not, I agree, a question of “Bank or no Bank.” That is, what you, or I, or any other gentleman may think, a£ to whethei a United States B#ink ought to be rechartered or not, has nothing to do, in my judgment, with the inquiry, whether the deposites ought to beie stored or not. But I am at a loss to compre hend how any gentleman, who looks at the de nosite question as one of political expediency, can keep out of view the inquiry, whether the Bank of the United States, or any Bank of the United States, will be rechartered. It is not to be sure, admitted by the memorial ists, in terms, but it is to be gathered from the whole scope and tenor of the memorial, that the commercial distress and dismay which exists, has not resulted from the act of the removal oi the deposites itself, but from an apprehension that the Bank is not to be rechartered, and that the Executive branch of the Government has assumed an attitude of hostility to the Bank. If this be true, what relief can you afford?—how do you remove the dismay of the trading com munity by returning the deposites unaccompa nied with an assurance that the Bank is to be re chartered? The imputed cause of the disease will still remain in full force, and if any relief be afforded by the administration of the propos ed palliative, it must necessarily be temporary, and after a few months the evil must be renew ed, and be felt with aggravated severity. In this respect, the question, whether the Bank of the United States will be rechartered, is unavoid ably connected with the proposition whether the deposites ought to be restored or not. As to that question, every gentleman, looking to the signs of the times—to the known and as certained opinions of the Representatives of the People—the Representatives of the People here, and the Representative of the People at the other end of the city—must judge for himself. For my own part, I see no reason to suppose that the Bank of the United States will be re chartered, or that a Bank of the United States will be established. If that question were now to be presented, 1 believe there would be a ma jority of at least forty in this House against the establishment of any Bank. Is it likely that this majority will be changed? I know of no ground rm whiMi cur'll an eYneetatinn r.nn he indulged. If I believed that the Bank of the United States would be rechartered, I would vote a restora tion of the deposites instantly. I have been induced to make these few re marks, without premeditation, unexpectedly, and indeed, l may say, by an accident, for the purpose of preventing any possible misappre hension of my opinions, which might have re sulted from my making, without explanation, the motion which I now make, that the memo rial be referred to the Committee of Ways and Means and be printed. The motion was agreed to. DR A WS THIS DA V Literature Lottery of the State of Delaware, Class No. 8 for 1S34, To be drawn at Wilmington, Thursday, Feb 20 CAPITAL PRIZE $12,000.

At a meeting of the gentlemen of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States, and o the Officers of the Court, at the Court Room in the Capitol, on Tuesday the 18th instant, the Hon. B. F. Butler, Attorney General of the Uni ted States, was called to the Chair, and the Hon. Jno. Sergeant was appointed Secretary: whereupon Mr. Webster rose and addressed the Chair as follows: It is announced to us that one of the oldest, one of the ablest, one of the most distinguished members of this Bar, has departed this mortal j life. William Wirt is no more! He has this, day closed a professional career, among the longest and the most brilliant, which the distin-; guished members of the profession in the Unit-. ed States have at any time accomplished. Un-1 sullied in every thing which regards profession al honor and integrity, patient of labor, and rich in those stores of learning, which are the re ward of patient labor and patient labor only; i and if equalled, yet certainly allowed not to be excelled, in fervent, animated, and persuasive eloquence, he has left an example, which those who seek to raise themselves to great heights of professional eminence, will, hereafter emulously study. Fortunate, indeed, will be the few, who shall imitate it successfully! As a public man, it is not our peculiar duty to speak of Mr. Wirt here. His character, in that respect belongs to his country, and to the history of his country. And, sir, if we were to speak of i him in his private life, and in his social relations, i all we could possibly say of his urbanity, his kindness, the faithfulness of his friendships, and the warmth of his affections, would hardly seem sufficiently strong and glowing to do him justice, in the feeling and judgment of those who, separated, now forever from his embraces, can only enshrine his memory in their bleeding hearts. Nor may we, sir, more than allude to that other relation, which belonged to him, and belongs to us all; that high and paramount re lation, which connects man with his Maker! It may be permitted us, however, to have the plea sure of recording his name, as one who felt a rlna^ pqiicq r\f I’olifrimip rltitir n nrl u'lin nlnppcl nil V. -j 7- -I his hopes of the future, in the truth and in the doctrines of Christianity. But our particular ties to him. were the ties of our profession. He was our brother, and he was our friend. With talents, powerful enough to excite the strength of the strongest, with a kindness both of heart and of manner capable of warming and winning the coldest of his brethren, he has now completed the term of his j professional life, and of his earthly existence, in the enjoyment of the high respect and cordial j affections of us all. Let us, then, sir, hasten to pay to his memory the well deserved tribute of our regard. Let us loose no time in testifying our sense of our loss, and in expressing our grief, that one great light of our profession is extinguished forever. Mr. Webster concluded by submitting the fol lowing resolutions, which were read, and unani mously adopted, viz. Resolved, That the members of this Bar feel, with deep sensibility, the loss which the profes sion, and the country, have sustained, in the death of WILLIAM WIRT, a member of this Bar, and heretofore for many years, Attorney General of the United States. Resolved, That we cherish the highest respect 1 for the professorial learning of the deceased, for his varied talent and ability, for the purity and uprightness of his professional life, and for the amiable and excellent qualities which belonged to him as a man. Resolved, That, to testify these sentiments, we will wear the usual badge of mourning for the 1 residue of the term. Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to offer to his bereaved and afflicted family, the condolence and sympathy of his brethren of the Bar; and to request that he may be interred in the City of Washington, and that his profession- al brethren be permitted to raise a suitable mon- ument to his memory. Resolved, That Mr. Southard be requested to pronounce a discourse, before the Bar, upon j the professional character and virtues of Mr. Wirt, at such time, during the present term, as J may suit his convenience. Resolved, That the Attorney General do move the Court that these resolutions be entered on J the minutes of their proceedings. The following gentlemen were appointed by J the Chair to compose the Committee ordered by the fourth resolution: Mr. Swann, Mr. Jones, 1 Mr. Webster, Mr. Clay, Mr. Southard, Mr. j Sergeant.

We consider the Deposite question virtual settled in the House of Representatives, by un vote referring the Report of the Secretary the Treasury to the Committee of V\ ays an Means, as announced in yesterday’s Gaze it 2. That vote satisfies us that the President will in all or any events, be sustained in the House by a majority of twenty or thirty. A spirit of jus tice so far prevailed as to induce this determin ed majority to give way on the previous ques tion. This operation, to stop debate, was effec ed by the meagre majority of four votes— He to 112. That carried, however, the party rallied came up, in gallant style, at the call of the lea ers, and sent the Report, without instruction? to Mr. Polk’s Committee by a vote of 131 to 9 Thereabouts is the strength of both sides. T majority will, no doubt, be lessened upon ot! questions hereafter arising from the same sub ject; but the power is with the friends of the Administration, and they will exercise it_\Vt trust and hope for the weal of the country though we very much fear for its uoe.

Fellow Citizens:—Once, (but that time has gone by,) I Our ancestors battled against tyranny: For freedom of conscience, and freedom of thought, At peril of life, fortune, honor, they fought: For principles abstract they shed their heart’s blood, And deem’d it as nought, though it ran in a flood. Whatsoever our sufferings, said they, what care we, Provided, our sons and our daughters be free? Can a parent, to child, make a richer bequest? Then for this we stake all, and to God trust the rest. This our children shall have, and we pray they may merit, And transmit to their own, what, from us, they inherit. Fellow Citizens: Is this inheritance gone? Do we already bow, at the bidding of one? While our ancestors yet are not, all, in their graves, Are our liberties seiz’d by subordinate knaves? Is our peace and prosperity now at their beck, And the collar adjusted exact to the neck? Has it already happen’d that, now, we can’t find A public dependent, who may dare speak his mind?— But must think, if he dare think, with trembling and fear— Rememb’ring the maxim that walls have an ear”? Is your Senate disdain’d? your House trod in the dust? And every thing done as One says be: it must? Are your Judicial Courts brought to scorn and contempt, While your Ruler himself, from their mandate, exempt? Is personal credit assail’d? and do sets Of public Inquisitors search each man’s debts? Is your Press uncontroll’d, or untrammell’d, and free, With reason, to combat against tyranny? Have the purse and the sword in one hand been united, While you, eas}T souls, seem but too much de lighted? Can the breath of one man change the face of the land, And mar the effects of God’s bountiful hand? Are fawning and flatt’ry, servility, all, The passports to place? And this Freedom you call? Are Religion, morality, now but mere dreams, And he tho most favor'd who loudest blasphemes? Faugh! I’m sick of the subject; and nauseate while, With such facts, I could Ossa on Pelion pile. Fellow Citizens, look on this picture, and say, Is the color exaggerate, this very day.

Washington, Feb. 18. 1834. Privileges of the Clergy.—Our readers have probably heard that the Rev. Dr. Channing and the Rev. Mr. Gannet, were summoned lately be f fore the Grand Jury, and refused to testify what f they knew respecting the duel, which has been a subject of conversation lately. The Jury made a representation to the Judge of the Municipal 1 Court, who summoned those gentlemen before him, and they appeared. The result we give in ___ A *1 v%-\ i rr llie laimuajic tut xiuuo uiio The Commonwealth’s Attorney stated to the Court the reason why these gentlemen had been summoned, and that the Grand Jury were I now in Court, waiting for the decision of the Court, whether these gentlemen should be com peiicd to testify. He cited a passage ofSturkie on Evidence to show that by the common law, not even auricular confessions to Catholic priests were privileged from being testified to; that it 1 appeared by the notes to Metcalf’s edition of 1 Starkie, that in many of the United States con fessions made to Protestant clergymen were not privileged, and that the Supreme Court in 1 this State had settled the same principle in 1 Commonwealth vs. Drake, 15 Mass. Rep, page 191. The Judge stated that clergymen were not exempted by the law from testifying when cal t led before a Court or Grand Jury as to commu j nications made to them as clergymen; that the privilege of secrecy is strictly confined to per sons acting as counsel, attornies, or solicitors, in causes, and cannot be extended to those confi dentially employed in other professions;” that tbjs is a privilege secured by law to the client j rather than the counsellor. He referred to the I case of the Duchess of Kingston, as cited by M’Nally on Evidence. r Dr. Channing stated to the Court that he had thought the communications made by a parish i ioner to his spiritual guide were sacred, and f j should n.>t be’ disclosed; but in relation to the t present case, he was suddenly called before the 1 I Grand Jury, and had little or no opportunity for 1 i reflection upon the subject; that since estei day he had reflected upon the circumstances, and i be now considered that any communications made to him in this case, were communicated to him rather as an esteemed friend, than to a j spiritual guide; he was therefore now ready to i testify. i Mr. Gannet stated that he viewed the commu I nications made to him, as made to him in his I character as a spiritual guide, and whilst he 1 wished all articificial distinctions in favor of the dergy might be abolished, he hoped the Court would excuse him from testifying, He then read his reasons for declining to testify. The Judge said that he certainly respected the delicacy exhibited by the gentleman, but that he must remember that the law, as such, has no mercy, and knows no distinction of persons; that 5 in his opinion, he was bound, as a good citizen, to testify. Mr. G. said, feeling bound as a citizen, he would testify, although he regretted the law was such as to compel him.— Boston Tvan-scvipt* CONGRESS In the Senate yesterday, a memorial from Erie County, Pa. and one from Germantown, Pa. on opposite sides of the Deposite Question both couched in strong and exceptionable lan guage, gave rise to some debate, and were tr nally laid on the table.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks burg and my plantation, in the upper end of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE on which he was riding, both belonging to me; were stolen by a man who seems to have been astranger in this part of the country. When seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare, he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court House. He is described to me as a person be tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re markably white hair; his stature stout and well set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak. The negro is between twenty-five and thirty years of age, as well as is remembered; stout in his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in ches high: has a drawling manner of talking, and appears to be much less sagacious than he really is. His name is Jack. Ilis dress was a blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under clothing drab cloth. The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any spot of white about her, unless perhaps there may be some few white hairs in the centre of the forehead, not covering more than the size of a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is recollected, going on seven years of age; is re i markably lung in her body; has a long tail, and it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes an incision which was made a year or two ago to cure the hooks. One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in the proportion of four and two for the recovery of either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.

The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I ha made an improvement in the same, and taken oat a pa tent thereon. N- 8HKPH cry Imposition having been practised upon the nuo lie bv a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud kins* Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself ot 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 MEN l\ (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared th«s Ointment, and had, in several instances experienced its good effects, 1 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 m this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the or.g.- nal—and in this way its good effect3 would ne obhtera- j ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi-| nal -ftnd certain remedv for those obetinate diseases, some of which have so long baffied the skill ot me dical science: 1st White swellings of everv description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlytliose hardened tumors i n women’s breasts, woich oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; 6th Sprains* aid bruises of every description, or in wh itpver nart situate; 7th Fetters of ail kinds. Jn this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part outof 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 swe! lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap plications (as it doer, 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 the external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious o\ rotten, it will stop the pi ogress of the caries, incret.se the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smelt, and ease *he pains. It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES Fromthe Hon. John Cocke Mnnbtr of the House of Re presentatives in Congress. v» ashi n6T*in, Var h 22, 1826 Sir —My son having oem afflicted for five years with white swelling, and having applied every reme dv recommended by the most eminent physicians vitliin mv reach without success, I at length rumoured one jug of Dr Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment and «nuh 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 t ver 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 rnent. ttespectfully, John Cocke Dr. Wm- Gunton, Washington City.

Mr. C Herstons—l deem it proper to state, for the benefit of the public, that, ?>everul years since, two of m v children were affected ,with scald head of an inve terate character My family physician, l)r John T Wilson, of t.eesburg, 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, your obedient servant, L. P. W. Balch. From the Honorable John Taliaferro, Member of Con gress. dated -.v ashingtoa, January 22, 1829 Sir—It has been 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 bv yourself, 1 have applied this Fntment luringthelast three years to every pecies of tumor and wound, without lailure to produce a cure in everv instance. I consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause whalit may; and L have found nothing so good for wounds ot any description It may be proper to add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling, given over bv the most distinguished physicians as in curable, and which they d -cided would, without ampu tation, prove tatalto 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 oeing restored to a perfect slate of sound ness. 'Iso that the leg of an aged man which had been wounded, aud 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. I mention these two cases, which fell under my immediate notice and management, as a decided evi dence of tne efficacy ofthis remedy in cases of tumor and ofulcersi I haveexpe ienced, as decidedly, ihe good effect ofthis remedy in the cure of Felons, and of every species of fresh wound. It seems to me that any one who wil observe on the operation ofthis Oint ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect I can with the utmost confidence recommend the. use ofthis valuable remedy. lam, sir, very respectfully, John l aliakkuiio.

Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn. Dear Sir -It is now upwards of twenty years t lat j have used your Mew London Bilious Pdls mmy fami Iv, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most everv description of disease, and believe t ley 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 m eve-; ry instance of using tliem, I began to conclude tnat you had made your fortune, and abandoned their mauutac ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, I 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, I be gan to suspect that all was not lair in meaicine. as well as in politics, and cailed at several of our apothe caries for vour pills, with your written signature. I found many without this test, but none with it, until came to the Messrs Kcerls’, 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 mv self in possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this information. (jjr* Vo avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser lias only to examine the bill of directions covering each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately under mv printed name, they are genuine, and prepared by me; but if ohlt the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.
