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 a stranger 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. His 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 I may be some few white hairs in the centre of I 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 markably long in her body; has along tail, and it is remarkable where it joins the rump. I here may be discerned in the film ofone 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 ol either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.

You have observed, in the printed proceed ings of the Senate, that on Tuesday, the 4th inst a report was made by Mr. Poindexter, on the subject of the contested election of Mr. Rob bins, of Rhode Island, to which I briefly advert ed in a former communication. The report is confined to a thorough, and I think very satisfactory, elucidation of the last of the three following questions, which are distinct ly propounded. The two first were tacitly con ceded by Mr. Potter. 1. Was the commission of Mr. Robbins made and executed in conformity with the provisions of the Constitution of the United States and the laws and usages of Rhode Island, prescrib ing the time, place, and manner of choosing Se nators to Congress? 2. Was Mr. Robbins, at the time of his elec tion, eligible, according to the Constitution of the United States, to the office of Senator? 3. Was he chosen by the Legislature of the State of Rhode Island? This necessarily leads the Committee to in vestigate the peculiar manner in which the State Government of Rhode Island and parti cularly its Legislative department is, at this __If qnn»nrc h\r TPHOl't. that the election law of that state required a majority of all the votes given, to elect Gover nor, Senators, &c., and that no provision was made for a continuance of the Government, in the event of such majority not being given at any election. In January, 1832, the Legislature passed an act authorizing the several State offi cers therein named to hold over until others should be duly chosen, according to law. At the election of May, 1832, no choice of Gover nor and Senate was made, in consequence of which, by virtue of the act of January, 1832, the persons elected in May, 1831, continued to perform all the duties of their respective sta tions, among which was the choice of a Sena tor, and Mr. Robbins was accordingly elected. Rhode Island is the only State in the Union, which has omitted to adopt a written constitu tion. The whole basis ot its government, as at pre sent organized, is to be found in the charter of Charles the 2d of England, granted in 1663, and in such, modifications of that instrument, by the Legislature, as have been found expedient, to adapt it to the necessities and convenience of the people. The power conferred on the Leg islature to effect these alterations is shewn to be of the most ample and unlimited character: —the single restriction of the charter being, that such laws, ordinances, and constitutions so made, be not repugnant unto, but as near as may be, agreeable to the laws of this, our realm of EnglandAn interesting history is then furnished of these various modifications of the charter, and of the acquiescence of the people, in this species of Legislation; while of that an tient instrument, as the committee remark, «there seems to be scarcely a vestige remain ing untouched,” except the clause just cited, which prohibits the enactment of any law, con trary to the laws of England, and which was abrogated in fact, by virtue of the revolution. The act of January 1832, confirming in pow er, the Governor and Senate which elected Mr. Robbins, is then particularly examined, and found to be in exact analogy to the other acts of the General Assembly, declaring the effect, or modifying the provisions of its organic law. It is shewn, that the people confirmed its provis ions, bv acting under it, in their primary capa city. That the legislature so constituted, pas sed numerous law's public and private. That the laws, so passed, are in full operation. That judges were elected by this body, who entered on their duties,and condemned citizens to death, who have since been executed: and finally, that the competency of this legislature, for all these functions, is expressly admitted, in the very act which vacated the seat of Mr. Robbins, and by the legislature itself which elect Mr. Potter. In addition to this, I may remark, that the re port examines with great ability the power of the Senate, to institute this enquiry, and points out, with great clearness, the proper limitations to all such proceedings;—with many inciden tal remarks on their tendency to abridge, if im properly directed, the rights of the States. So luminous and conclusive is this document, that I entertain no doubt, it will be adopted by a majority of the Senate. At a meeting of the Typographical Associa tion of New York, held on the 15th instant, the following letter was received and ordered to be published. A. H. Krauth, Sec’y. Extract from the Minutes. Washington City, Feb. 27, 1834. As a member of the Typographical Asso ciation of New York,” I deem it my duty to inform you of a probable call on the compo sitors oi your city to repair to this place, for the purpose of superceding the hands now em ployed in an extensive establishment. We ex pect to have to stand on our reserved rights” shortly, and we wish to do it manfully, and with out opposition from a single member of the profession. Prices are not ou object—princi ples are the ground-work upon which we act. Our rights are invaded—our liberty of action in private matters is called in question; and the vi tal principle of freedom—the liberty of opinion _has been assailed. I have no hesitation in as suring the members of the profession here that we shall be supported in our struggles by our brethren of New York. The withdrawal of the motion made in the Senate at Albany for the establishment of a Ten Million Bank, is by no means an abandonment of that project. We understand a Committee went up to Albany yesterday on the subject— and a friend called in, to say to us, that he learns from them there is every probability the Bank will be incorporated. He further informs us, that it is to be founded upon foreign capital. Should this Bank plan really be adopted, it will not show the belief at Albany in General Jack son’s assertion that the introduction of foreign capital is an injury to the country—nor will it much further his scheme of reducing the coun try to a raetalic circulation, as set forth both by himself and Mr. Senator Wright •V. Y. Mer. A CARD. It is with great regret I find myself compel led to appear before the public to show the in justice done me, in the letter of R. B Taney, Esq. Secretary of the Treasury, under date of the 10th inst.'addressed to U. S. Heath, Esq. and published in the Baltimore Republican of the 13th inst. Mr. Taney says, that I “reprobated the con duct of the Bank of the United States in strong “terms, said that it had abused its power by wilfully oppressing the community, and that “it ought not to be rechartered on any terms; that I admitted the depo3ites ought not to be “restored, and that the restoration would not relieve the pressure.” How he could have so entirely misunderstood my expressions in regard to the Bank, I cannot conceive, never having entertained them; such a view expressed by me would have been completely at variance with the object of my visit to Washington; and with the sentiments 1 still entertain. Mr. Taney would be correct in saying, that I admitted there were objections to the present Bank charter, and I admit that I al so said it might be questionable, whether it would be prudent to direct the immediate change ol the public money now deposited in the State Banks; but I gave it as my decided opinion, that if the public revenue were in future deposi ted in the United States Bank, it would restore confidence and relieve the public distress. The views I intended to convey were decidedly in favor of a renewal of the present Bank, or the establishment of a new Bank with a modified charter, and I left with Mr. Young, his Chief Clerk, an outline of such a Bank as would, in my opinion, remove many of the objections now entertained against the National Bank, and re quested him at his leisure to look at it. For the correctness of this statement, I con fidently appeal to the other gentlemen who were present at the time and heard the whole conver sation. In concluding these remarks, I need scarcely aaa, mat running was m tain redress as we can. [Mr. Wilde’s resolution declares the reasons o' the Secretary of the Treasury insufficient ajv unsatisfactory.] Under the marine head will be found an a count of the loss of Capt.

They have outlived many rival preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin istered for many years, a9 a thorough remedy for that well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he reditary predisposition in the patient, and general y appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony s Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Fow and t) atinate Ulcers, Sore Legsand Eyes, Scald Head, and Venereal Taint. In the last mentioned condition of the system, the Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk ing poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he reditary disease on his offspring. Dr. Relfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used in cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches—pimoles on the face—festering eruptions on the skin—and other diseases of the external surface; and are one »si the best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to f*eethe system from humors. A physician of eminence, who had witness -d the ef ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to ack nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the boat medicine known, for the complaints for which it is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole class of such remedies.

This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every respect, and has, for many years past, given universal satisfaction wherever it has been ii9ed. The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently enter the composition of tooth powders in common use, anu n wii icim me v. doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pre ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentrifice removes discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white ness of the enamel. As its application braces and strengthens the Gums, it secures to them their healthy and florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural sweetness of the breath.

IN that long tram of diseases which seem to grow i with the growth of civilized society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human life; yet (his dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles the sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cough is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con sumption Improper neglect in the timely adminis tration of simple and* salutary remedies, is sure to be reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive symptoms—oppression of the breast; greeni-h and bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri veiled extreineties, and general emaciation of the whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; and at lust, in the fuii posses sionof the mental faculties, and while hope still whis pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre mature death. For the various stages of this complaint, one of the most approved remedies ever vet discovered is DR. RELFE'S ASTHMATIC PILLS.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins,) Prepared by V. BER8TONS.near Frederick■ town. Maryland. Richmond, Va. July 15, 18^0. Twf nublic will be pleased to understand that I was ,hePon^naTdiscovPerer of Judkins' Ointment and sole Dronrietor of the patent from September, 1817, until tlieExpiration of the same; but, having connect ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I permitted the Ointment to bear lus name. 1 he term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken ont a pa tent thereon. N. SHEPHEK Imposition having been practised upon the uuo lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud- j kins* Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the authority granted to him in his letters patent, now to call the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT* MEN T, (formerly Judkins'.) When I -first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process -ne vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted Under these considerations, I secured the ongi inal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffled the skill ot me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description,* 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Scliirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those hardened tumors in women’s breasto, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by the name of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains 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 out of water; 8th Chilblains or partsaftected by frost. It is 9lso one of the best remedies for burns and I 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, (a* it does not contain the smallest atom of anv 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 thp external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious 01 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 FeloJs and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES. Fromthc lion. J>kn Cocke. Member of the House of Re presentatives in Congress. Washington, Man h 22, 1826 Sir—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 nude the application according to tne directions ac companying the ointment, and slate, for the oenefit of the affl'Cted. 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, John Cocke Dr. Wm Gunton, Washington City. From L P. \V. Batch, Esq Counsellor at Law, F ede rick. Md Fukdeiuck, Md. May 6, 1831. Mr. C Herstons—l 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. Wilson, of Leesburg, Va who was very skilful and ju dtcious 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, vouroDedient servant, L. P. W. Balcu. From the Honorable John Taliaferro, Member of Con gress, dated W ashington,January 22,1829 Sin—Ith as been my wish, for a considerable time, to communicate to you the good effect with which I have used the Ointment invented by a Mr. Judkins and which 1 now understand is made and sold by agents appointed bv yourself, I have applied this Ointment during the last three years to every species of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure j in every instance. I consider it the most decided and j efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause whutit may; and 1 have found nothing so good tor wounds of any description It may be proper to i add, that the cure nf a tumor called white swelling, .riven over bv the most disiinguished physicians as in curable, and which they decided would, withoutampu ution, prove tatallo 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 oemg 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 oy 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 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 wll observe on the operation of this Oint ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect lean with the utmostconlidence recommend the use ofthis valuable remedy, lam, sir, very respectfully, JOUX i A LI Al'ERIiO.

SAM a. 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 farm ly, and alwaysfound the n 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 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 had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac 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 WHITTEN 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 l had without this test, I be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well us m 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 1 came to the Messrs Kccrls', 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 ain so much rejoiced on finding my self in possession of a medicine l so highly prize, that that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this information. iXj* 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 orli the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.
