Mr. Ck^ conSequence of his duties in the Senate and !he health of his family, has respectfully declin ed the invitation. VIEW OF THINGS AS THEY ARE. To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette. All who take an interest in the politics of their country, cannot but be aware that Mr. Van Bu ren is to be the Government candidate for the Presidency of the United States, or, in other words, the successor of the present Chief Magis trate, if it be possible tor nim to De promoted to that exalted station by the unwearied efforts and party discipline of the office-holders and all those who, disregarding what they believe con scientiously to be the welfare of their country, pay sycophantic devotion to the success of a particular individual, because, perchance, they may be rewarded for their exertions in the suc cess of a mere personal cause. And that they will strain every nerve, and call heaven and earth to witness that, in their ardor, they are actuated by the purest of motives, by the most devoted attachment to their country, he must be a tyro who cannot see. And, too, he must be but little acquainted with the tricks ot party uni ted with partisan zeal, who, for a moment, can believe that there are but few' who will be operat ed on by the ceaseless exertions of party lead ers, having before them—indeed, as they sup pose, almost in their grasp—the reward of suc cess, associated with all the pleasing reflections of perpetuation in power, and on the other hand defeat, and the dread that they may be visited with wrath for their improper interference in the freedom of elections. With this view of the subject, is it to be wondered at that the party whip of the pow’ers that be should crack loud, or that the changes should be often rung upon the ear?—that the party drill should be improved, or the Shibboleth be more severely enforced? We all know the true state of the case in re gard to the office-holders and those who seek to perpetuate their present power, united w'ith the Jackson Experiment,.by the election of Mr. Van Buren to the Presidential office. That there are some exceptions,—aye, honorable exceptions, who are actuated by high motives,—I cannot be so jaundiced in my opinions as for a moment to V nf nfil] urKil T m ol'a ihio q mi eei n n charge home upon them—the great majority, who are striving for the loaves and fishes—that they are actuated by unhallowed, unpatriotic, and unprincipled motives—by such motives as, ifbrought to light, would open the eyes of the honest yeomanry, and compel them to cast be hind them that Satanic influence that seeks to bind in fetters the elective franchise, and bend to its mercenary views the political opinions of independent freemen. And in such manner is the next Presidential election to be made suc cessful on the part of those who are anxious to control the destinies of the nation—thereby be ing enabled to live upon the money that was in tended by the framers of the Constitution, with the sanction of the people, to be bestowed upon the faithful and qualified officer, rather than up on the partisan mercenary or parasitical scrib bler. Yes! the people are called upon to sanc tion the prostitution of the offices of the Govern ment to electioneering and corrupt purposes, in order that the present Administration—which bag nearly, if not entirely, doubled in expendi ture of the public money, as compared with the Adams Administration—may appoint its succes sor; may do that which those most loudly de cried against, when, but a little while ago, they happened to be in the opposition. And now, "ith remarkable consistency, they are zealously trying to set up what then, with impassioned zeal, they essayed to pull down, to wit, that the President should appoint his own successor!— And what is it for now, as then? That they may answer their selfish purposes, and be the money changers of the Republic! Now, they may ask, j° you not want to do precisely the same thing? e answer, no—no such tiling. Our object is l0 ensure the permanence of the Republic, the Purity of our institutions, with an equal distri bution of the offices of the Government to the most worthy, the most honest, the most capable, hi the appointment to any office within the gift toe Government, the test shall not be, Will he support me? will he, in time of need, cry aloud and spare not? And such, notoriously, is the manner in which public offices have been filled; and, forsooth, the party screws turned so tight, tout none can be promoted to any office w’ithin toe gift of tho Government, unless he will consent! >t Jo crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, vV here thrift may follow fawning.” And this is Van Buren Republicanism. Shame’ Shame! Shame! I find myself, however, dila ting too far upon topics which, if not restrained, will carry me much beyond the bounds I laid out for myself when I took up my pen. I will, therefore, conclude by inquiring who is most likely to succeed against this attempted perpe tuation of power, and who, with the greatest probability of success, may be united on by the American people. I know of no man, as things present themselves to my mind, who stands the least chance pi opposing the immense patron age of the Government, wielded in behalf of Mr. Van Buren, other than the HON. HENRY CLAY. And believing him to be in practice, as well as in his strenuous opposition to the usurped powers of the Government, a Republi can—one wrho would administer the Govern ment in the greatest harmony with the consti tuted parts, giving to the whole its proper influ ence, both abroad and at home, and at the same time administering the General Government in such a manner as not to encroach on the rights of the States; while, with the greatest care, he would restore to his country a vigorous Con stitution, now trampled upon; a sound curren cy, now disordered; and constitutional liberty, now mocked at; I give you him, and, through you, to the American People, in nomination for the Presidency of the United States. LIBERTY. Frederick County, Va.) April 4, 1834. VIRGINIA ELECTIONS. King George County. John Hooe re elected. [Mr. Hooe was re-elected without opposition.

SiTMEAD’S ANT I-D YSPECTIC, or STO MACH PILLS, THE only medicine ever yet offered to the public, from which a radical and perma nent cure can be obtained of all those chronic states of derangement of the digestive organs, constituting that complicated disease, termed Dyspepsia. The duty which the proprietor owes to soci ety, has induced him to adopt this mode of cir culation, in order to give it a greater range of publicity, that it may thereby become more ex tensively useful than it could possibly be, were it confined within the private practice of any individual v/hatever. The diseases consequent on a morbid state of the stomach and bowels, are numerous, complicated, and, for the most part, very difficult of cure. The proprietor of these Pills is happy in hav ing it in hi* power to offer to all those who are afflicted with the above complaint, a medicine in which the most unlimited confidence may be placed, and, for simplicity of composition, may be given to children and patients of the most delfcate habit. In every chronic case of stomach complaint, where the disease does not depend on a schirrus, or cancerous state of that organ, (in which case no medicine whatever can do any good,) these pills will effect a certain and speedy cure, after the stomach of the patient has been cloyed with magnesia and chalk, and drenched with all the bitter potions that art could invent, to no purpose. They will most effectually remove all sourness of the stomach, not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by cor recting that morbid state of the secretions which cdves rise to it; and at the same time that they are giving tone to the organs of digestion, they will renovate and give new life and vigor to the whole system. Geo. Smith, Propiietoi. For sale by WILLIAM STABLER. 1th mo i OBITUARY. We are called to the melancholy task of re cording, this morning, the death of our esteem ed townsman, Mr. Thomas Preston, who de parted this life on Sabbath evening last, aged 66 years. I We abstain from eulogy. The dead cannot be benefitted thereby, and, in the hearts of the living, ought to be enshrined, the enduring re collection of departed worth, asking no ad ven titious aid. Over the grave of the deceased, may, with propriety, beinscirbed, The noblest work of God—an honest man” Known long and familiarly to this community, he was es teemed for his industry, his enterprise, his integ rity. He discharged the various duties of life, faithfully and conscientiously, securing the warmest affection of his family and friends, and the unshaken confidence of all who knew him. To crown the whole, Mr. Preston was a Chris tian, walking humbly with God,v for many years j a consistent and pious member of the Metho dist Episcopal Church. As might have been expected, his end was peace. The writer of this hasty notice was present, and saw him breathe his last. No infant ever sunk to slum ber, on a mother’s breast, more calm and gen tle. No murmur escaped his lips—no dread was felt. He had made his peace with God, and left the world with the triumphant assurance upon his lips that he was happy. Happy soul! thy days are ended, All thy mourning days below, Go, by angel guards attended, To the sight of Jesus, go.” A. The friends and acquaintances of the family are invited to attend the funeral This Af ternoon at 4 o’c/ocfc, from his late residence on Duke, below water street. April 8.

Cream of Nardus, or the Ancient Spikenard. A FEW bottles of this article of great pricej known to and sought after with avidity by the ancient Jews, remarkable for imparting a sweet odor, and forgiving brilliancy to the hu man hair. Price 50 cents per bottle. Jessamine Paste. This delightful article is admirable for all af fections of the skin, as pimples, tan, sunburn, morphew; also for roughness of the skin, for the chafing of infants, and as applicable for chapped lips and hands. Price 31 cents. Saponaceous Shaving Cream. This truly efficacious preparation is not sur passed for its fine and emolient lather, and the ease which it gives to the often very troublesome operation of shaving. It is entirely free from those mineral preparations so often used to co lor soap; and after use this cream leaves the skin delightfully smooth. Price 37 1-2 cents.

R. II. the Duke of York, H. U. H. the Duke of Sussex, the Emperor and Em press of Russia, the Emperors of Persia and China, &c. &c. The Indian Dye, for coloring and preserving the Human Hair. This excellent and very innocent preparation differs entirely from the various articles hitherto used for the same purpose, inasmuch as it is free from ail noxious ingredients, and will not, in the slightest degree, injure the texture of the hair, or even stain the skin. Red, light, grey, or grisly hair, can, in eight hours, be changed by it to a beautiful and permanent black or brown; or if applied at night, on going to bed, the change will have taken place by morning. Whiskers and eye-brows are colored with the same facility. Price 75 cents per bottle. Low's Indian Oil. The Indian Oil is a compound of Bear’s Oil with other articles of equal benefit for the growth and for gradually coloring the hair; it has obtained much celebrity for its fine effects, and is in daily demand. It gives to the hair a bright and lasting curl, and makes it,, when harsh, soft and beautiful. Persons who are be coming grey will find the Indian Oil of much service in preventing so great a calamity, as it surely is, to the fashionable lady, or the aspiring bachelor. No other direction for its use is ne cessary than to dress the hair with it as is done with Pomatum or Bear’s Oil. Price 75 cents per bottle. Purified Bear's Oil. Among the many articles offered to the pub lic for the growth and preservation of the hair, none seem to have given so much satisfaction as the Purified Bear’s Oil, which has been known, in many instances, to restore the hair on heads which have been bald for years; it also prevents the hair from falling out, and quickly restores it when lost from sickness, or any other cause. It gives to the most stubborn locks a strong, glossy and lasting curl, removes the dandruff .1 Ll/.U ixTfrtn i m AO 1 iTVAIl tK aT t))Oi hull* 11IVI4 OilVU imp' V»vw I V ff J causing head-ache, &c. The Bear’s Oil is far superior to Antique or Macassar Oils, which, being of vegetable origin, soon make the hair hard and crisp, while ani mal oils, on the contrary, make it soft and beau tiful. Of the latter class, the Bear’s Oil, being more penetrating, is, of course, preferred. Mo thers will find it excellent for the heads of their children, and to gentlemen of fashion it is re commended for the growth of whiskers. When used, it should be well rubbed into the roots of the hair with a penetrating bair-brush, which excites also a healthy action in the skin; the hair should be well oiled every other day, be fore combing it. Being highly purified, and pleasantly perfumed, it will be found decidedly superior to any other article for constant use in dressing the hair. Price 25 cents per bottle. Pearl Ponder. It is not the intention of this preparation to paint the skin, but merely to remedy the etfects of heat, which it does by gently cooling its sur face, and preventing sudden changes of the complexion. This powder will be found free from any deleterious articles, and may be used with perfect safety. Price 25 cents per box. Compound Chlorine Tooth Wash. This highly popular prepaiatinn is believed to be the best wash for the teeth ever discover ed; the good qualities of the Chlorine, so useful for many purposes, has never been better appli ed than as a cleanser of the teeth and gums. It has been compounded for the purpose, with other articles of known utility, and is recom mended to the public as a preparation of supe rior value. By its use, the diseased gums are restored to a healthy state, and the progress ot decay in un sound teeth prevented. It gives a surpassing whiteness to the teeth, prevents the accumula tion of tartar, and preserves the gums from scurvy: by destroying the impurities of the teeth and gums, it sweetens the breath—it also keeps the teeth-brush clean, which itself is an object of some importance.
