Clang, clang, The massive anvils ring— Clang, clang, A hundred hammers swing, Like the thunder rattle of a Tropic sky The mighty blows still multiply, Clang, clang, Say, brothers of the dusky brow. What are your strong arms forging now! Clang, clang,—we forge the coulter now. The coulter of the kindly plough; Sweet Mary mother bless our toil; May its broad furrow still unbind To genial rains, to sun and wind, The most benignant soil. Clang, clang,—our coulter’s course shall be On many a sweet and sheltered lea, By many a streamlet’s silver tide, Amidst the song of morning birds, Amidst the low of sauntering herds, Amidst soft breezes which do stray Through woodbine hedges and sweet May, Along the green hill’s side. When regal autumn’s bounteous hand, With wide-spread glory clothes the land, When to the valleys from the brow Of each resplendent slope, is rolled A ruddy sea of living gold, We bless, we bless the Plough. Clang, clang,—again, my mates,what glows Beneath the hammers’ potent blows. Clink, clank,—we forge the giant chain, Which bears the gallant vessel’s strain Midst stormy winds and adverse tides; Secured by this, the good ship braves The rocky roadstead, and the waves Which thunder on her sides. Anxious no more, the merchant sees, The mist drive dark before the breeze, The storm-cloud on the hill; Calmly he rests, though far away, In boisterous climes, his vessels lay, Reliant on our skill. Say, on what sands these links shall sleep, Fathoms beneath the solemn deep: By Afric’s pestilential shore, By many an iceberg, lone and hoar, By many a palmy western isle, Basking in Spring’s perpetual smile! By stormy Labrador. Say, shall they feel the vessel reel When to the battery’s deadly peal The crashing broadside makes reply; Or, else as at the glorious Nile, Hold grappling ships, that strive the while, For death or victory?

Hurrah—cling, clang—once more what glows, Dark brothers of the forge, beneath The iron tempest of your blows, The furnace’s red breath? Cling, clang,—a burning shower clear And brilliant, of bright sparks, is poured Around and up in the dusky air, As our hammers forge the sword. The sword!—a name of dread; yet when Upon the freeman’s thigh ’tis bound, While for his altar and his hearth, While for the land that gave him ,birth The war-drums roll, the trumpets sound, How sacred is it then! Whenever for the truth and right It dashes in the van of fight, Whether some wild mountain pass. As that where fell Leonidas; Or on some sterile plain and stern, A Marston, or a Bannockburn; a.. ^..„,1 u__ V/l UUUV40V V I UNU UUlCUIIf, Ml 11^ The Switzer’s Alps, grey Tyrol’s hills; Or, as when sunk the Armada’s pride, It gleams above the stormy tide; Still, still, whene’er the battle-word Is Liberty, where men do stand For justice and their native land, Th^n Heaven bless the sword!” Terrible warning against keeping bad compa «y.--Last Saturday evening, Mr. Buckland, who is employed in the United States’ Armory at Springfield, Mass., became alarmed at the absence of a little son, about eleven years old, and made enquiry of a boy by the name of Elli ot, with whom he knew him to be in the tiabit of associating. Elliot said, that when he last saw him he was on the road to Boston; but knew nothing On Sunday morning an uncle of young Buckland, being out near the Boston road, saw Elliot with a spade in his hand, and compelled him to go with him to the spot where he had seen his nephew. They had proceded about two miles from towm when Mr. Buckland saw a pistol lying by the side of the road. On this discovery, Eiliot refused to go any farther. Strong suspicions were excited, and search be ing made, little Buckland w*as found under the stairs of a hop-house at no great distance co vered up w’ith leaves and almost dead. He was, however, able to make the following statement:—He and Elliot, he said, had agreed to run away to Boston, and started about noon. They went on out of the village, w’hen they stop ped to fire at a mark with a pistol w hich Elliott carried with him. Elliot required him to put lip the mark, and twice fired so soon that the ball whistled by him: and being alarmed, he said he would go home, and started. But Elliot told him he would shoot him if he did, and treated him with great haughtiness and severity. One time Buckland fired the pistol, and it proved to have been so deeply loaded, that it flew* back and wounded him in the face. At length, Elli ot haying loaded the pistol, threw* something away in the bushes, and ordered Buckland to go and get it. He w*ent, and w*hen stooping down, Elliot shot him, the ball passing through his bo dy, from the top of the left breast to the small of the back. He fell, and cried to Elliot that he was killed, and begged him to help him home. that he might die with his parents. This, Elli ot iaid he would not do, but that when he was dead he intended to bury him in the ground.— After waiting some time and finding he did not die, Elliot went away, and Buckland succeed ed in crawling to the spot where he was found; and it being very cold, covered himself with leaves as well as he was able. Elliot returned with a spade, but it had become dark, and he was unable to find him. On Sunday morning he returned, and was seen as above stated.— The night was severely cold, which while it in creased the suffering of the poor boy, staunched the flowing of the blood. On Tuesday morning he was alive, and just able to speak; but in a very dangerous condition. The parents of both boys are worthy people, and very deeply afflict ed.—N. Y. Jour, of Com. Spanish Treaty.—Mr. Van Ness is the bearer not only of despatches, but of the Convention itself. In consequence of the disturbed state of the northern provinces of Spain, apprehensions had been entertained for his safety. He was in fact stopt, it appears, three times between Mad rid and the French lines, and was only released on paying the usual tribute on such occasions. The mail, which immediately preceded him, was robbed and the passengers were stripped of even the clothing on their backs. Mr. Van Ness, on the contrary, although he was asses sed to the amount of a few doubloons, had the good fortune in every instance, except one, to be treated with politeness. He represents the North of Spain as being almost without any regular government. The Carlist bands and the Queen’s troops alternately displace each other in such rapid succession, that the idea of authority in the minds of the people has become nearly obliterated. So distracted, indeed, is the state of the whole country, as to give rise to serious doubts whether the Queen’s party will be able to sustain itself. New York Evening Post. We regret to hear of the alarming illness of Horatio Gates Esq., of Montreal, a merchant of high character and great personal worth, and well know’ll by his extensive business relations in the States, as well as in the Canadas. His death (w’hich was hourly expected at the date of our information) will be a severe deprivation not only to his amiaDie ramuy, dux xo xne cixy, to the prosperity of which, his enterprize has greatly contributed, and particularly to the nu merous visitors from the United States, to whom his courtesies and civilties have been so liberal ly extended.—Albany Argus. Infatuation.—Half the boxes at the Tremont vesterday, were sold at auction, at an advance of $236; one box was knocked off to an indi vidual, whose pocket, it is to be presumed has not been affected by the removal of the depo sites, for an advance of $50!

Party Names.—It is probable that the old English party designations will be generally adopted and used in this country. Men must now take their stand for or against Power—for or against Liberty. Mr. McDuffie, in his speech, on Tuesday, to the people of Philadelphia, adverted to the hap py mergement of all political cognomens into Whigs and Tories; and Mr. Clay, in the Se nate, said, speaking of the Whigs in New York: They have assumed for themselves and bes towed on their opponents a denomination which, according to all the analogy of history, is strictly correct. It deserves to be extended throughout the whole country. What was the origin, among our British ancestors, of those ap pellations? The tories were the supporters of executive power, of royal prerogative, of the maxim that the King could do no wrong, of the detestable doctrines of passive obedience and non-resistance. The whigs were the champi ons of liberty, the friends of the people, and the defenders of the power of their representatives in the House of Commons. During our revolutionary war, the tories took sides with Executive power and prerogative, and with the King, against liberty and indepen dence; and the whigs, true to their principles, contended against royal executive power, and for freedom and independence. And what is the present but the same contest in another form? The partisans of the present Executive sustain his power in the most bound less extent. They claim for him all executive authority. They make his sole will the govern ing power. Every officer concerned in the ad ministration,from the highest down,is to conform to his mandates. Even the public treasury, hith erto regarded as sacred, and beyond his reach, is placed by them under his entire direction and control. The Whigs of the present day are opposing executive encroachment, and a most alarming extension of executive power and prerogative. They are ferreting out the abu ses and corruptions of an administration, under a Chief Magistrate who is endeavoring to con centrate in his own person the whole powers of Government. The editor of the Richmond Enquirer is amus ing the intelligent people of Virginia with de nunciations, in the Cambyses vein,” against that “fallen monster,” the Bank—and most ear nest appeals to them to kill the dead! We be lieve the editor of the Enquirer is merely having his fun in these warm times; but will not he laugh on the other side of his mouth, if, per chance, a Bank bill should be proposed in and carried through Congress by his own political party! Nous verrons. A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer writes: A fewr weeks in your city, last winter, has induced the conclusion that it is now the duty of every farmer to choose whom he will serve”! Yes! this is the language of people profess ing to be freemen! Choose whom we will SERVE.” Why, SERVE Gen. Jackson, to be sure. No body else asks, or requests, your SERVICE. A Jackson print of New York, speaking of the late disgraceful riots in New York, has the impudence tauntingly to tell the people of that city that it is not rational or prudent to light a fire among such combustible materials as the Irish population there,” who are quick and irritable,” and with “wo particular disinclina tion to a row.” This is the slang of the dema gogue in encouragement of outrage and as a threat to those not disposed to yield to club law. What says the patriot and the statesman to this same Irish population? What says Henry Clay? Countrymen of Tone, of Emmet, of Macne ven, and of Sampson, if any of you have been deceived, and seduced into the snnnort nf n i cause dangerous to American liberty, hasten to review and correct your course! Do not forget that you abandoned the green fields of your na t v-' island to escape what you believed to be the tyranny of a British King! Do not I adjure you, lend yourselves, in this land of your asylum, this last retreat of the freedom of man, to the es tablishment here, for you. and for us all, of that despotism which you had proudly hoped had been left behind you, in Europe, forever! There is much, I would fain believe, in the constitu tional forms of government. But at last it is its parental and beneficient operation that must fix its character. A government may in form be free, in practice tyrannical; as it may in form be despotic, and in practice liberal and free. We remark that, in the debate in the House of Representatives on the 9th instant, Colonel R. M. Johnson described Mr. Adams as “the worthy and distinguished gentleman from Mas sachusetts—a gentleman who had presided over this nation with more honor to the country and to himself than some of his (the Colonel’s) col leagues could at that time believe, whatever might be their sentiments now.” The Colonel cannot be a Jackson or a Globe-man. There was pith in the short reply of Mr. O’ Connell in the British House of Commons, to a speech of Lord Althorp against the Repeal of the Irish Union. His Lordship ended withex pressing his inability to comprehend “how a poor country could suffer by its union with a rich one.” “The leech swells upon the blood it sucks,” was the brief comment of O’Connell. George Winchester, Esq. one of the Jackson Electors for the City of Baltimore in 1824, has j renounced his allegiance to the Experiment Party.” It will be recollected that Mr. Winches ter was one of the earliest, most stedfast and ar dent friends of General Jackson. Mr. Speaker Stevenson is said to be highly incensed with Mr. John Quincy Adams, in con sequence of the introductory remarks which the latter gentleman appended to his suppress ed” speech. We advise Mr. Stevenson to write a reply,—especially if he wants to be. Jonathan Rttsselled. Mr. Speaker will take the hint. li Doubtless, any real spoliation of State So vereignty tends to destroy republicanism,” says the National Gazette. See, in this, how wil ling those most opposed to nullification are to co-operate in defence of the just rights of the States. There must be but two parties in this country. All past differences must be merged and forgotten. We are all federalists—we are all republicans,” said Mr. Jefferson. We are all State Rights men—we are all National Re publicans,” we say now. The contest must be between the Liberals and the high prerogative party. The National Republicans will defend the rights of the states, and the Nullifiers must defend the supremacy of the laws and the just powers of all the branches of the government. Here is “a coalition” with a vengeance! Public admiration is freely expressed at the speech of Mr. McDuffie. We have publish ed no speech made this session of Congress which has given such general satisfaction. The friends of the Administration themselves say it is a powerful effort of a powerful mind. We wish sincerely it would work conviction upon their minds. As it is, we have hopes it has done good.

The British Government, in a spirit of liberal courtesy intend to present to various public Li braries, and the different Universities in this country, copies of the Public Records, of which the cost for each set is about two hundred pounds sterling, consisting of‘the Statutes of the Realm,’ Domesday Book,’ Rymer’s Collec tion,’ and other rare and ancient public docu ments, which, considering our descent, cannot but be of great value here as consulting books, i This country is indebted much to Mr. O. Rich, an agent for the purchase of books in London, for his participation in this matter; and, in the act of the British Government, we see with sat isfaction a liberal and enlightened feeling of comity towards the United States. There never was a good thing started in this country or in Great Britain but some of its fan atical votaries would run it into the ridiculous. The temperance cause in both countries has furnished its full quota ofevidence. We perceive by an English paper that in Southwark, Lon don, they have signs hung out, not only of the 11 Temperance Coffee Room,” which will do very well, but of The Temperance Wine and Brandy Vaults,” and Fine Temperance Cor dial Gin.” Temperance grog shops are a new idea, says the New York Star. Pirates.— Capt. Bennett, of ship London Packet, at New Bedford, spoke March 3, off As cension Island, the British ship Carlow, from W. coast of Africa, having on board nineteen pi rates. On the African coast the Carlow board ed a suspicious armed vessel, abandoned, which blew up and killed one of her officers and men. She is supposed to have been the vessel belong ing to the pirates, who were taken on shore.— She is also ascertained to have been the same which robbed the brig Mexican, of Salem, some time since, of $25,000 in specie. The pirates were Portuguese and Spanish. The town of Marblehead contains 5,000 in habitants and cannot support a lawyer, the last one being obliged to emigrate for want of bu siness. Marblehead has, says the N. Y. Com., however in former days furnished some of the first legal talents in the country. Chief Justice Sewall and Judge Story were natives of that place, as was also Vice President Gerry, and the venerable Dr. Holyoke. Some of the most desirable property in the Union is shortly to be disposed of by lottery, un der the superintendence of trustees appointed by the late act of the Legislature of Maryland.— It is the hotel at Ellicotts5 Mills, known as the Patapsco Hotel, belonging to and now occu pied by Mr. Andrew M’Laughlin, together with a number of valuable building lots in the same village, rich furniture and plate, books, wines,&c. We find the following severe and cutting re marks, in reference to Mr. Speaker Stevenson, in a note from Mr. Tristam Burges, of R. I., to the Editors of the National Intelligencer, in which he corrects a notice taken of some of his remarks by the Reporter for that paper in the House of Representatives: Should the reporter pretend to excuse these misrepresentations, by saying that he expected to have heard the memorial read, and therefore he omitted any attention to my statement of the contents of it, I can only say that he had no right to expect this. It is true all other memorials are read, as a matter of course, if there be no mo tion to dispense with the reading. It is also true that I, after reading myself some parts of this memorial, did move that the whole be read.— What then? Had I made no such motion, the memorial would have been read of course; but when I had made the motion, it was, as the re porter very well knows, almost as much a mat ter of course for Mr. Speaker Stevenson not to put it to the House. Why else this memorial, sent by almost 4000 people to Congress, should be singled out by the Speaker, I do not know.— I have often felt myself flattered by the manner in which I have frequently, during this session been distinguished by him. Had I thought he in tended to insult the people of Rhode Island, by refusing the reading of their memorial, I should not have left him in the quiet enjoyment of his little malevolence; but when 1 considered the in sult as intended for me alone, I could not have the heart to reproach him for doing what his politi cal condition rendered indispensable. Indeed gentlemen, who do you know’ of so little preten sion to having any thing to do, that he would, for a moment, employ himself in either finding words or uttering words to rebuke one w'ho has no patriotism but party, no deity but the leader of that party, and no heaven but the full assur ance that he so lives in the confidence of that leader that he believes no other man on earth wrould do so much or such service for him!55 Something New.—The Rev. W. S. Balch, of Claremont, N. H., has in press a volume of Ser mons, to be of a moral and political character. m We find the following in the Boston Merc tile Journal, It contains sound political ethic*' “Beauties of Politics—A vote given ntV polls, in times of high political excitement k* always to be regarded as the test of a mV ?1 unbiassed political opinions. A thirst for ofti gratitude to a friend, or in some cases ^Ce» to creep into a republican government81'1}?01 on the free exercise of the right of our liberty depends.” J But alas, in what nation is corruption 1 k» open than in this favored republic? Wh i shall we find the hand of the government r j obvious in the business of elections, than in A rica? Yankee Notion.—A down-east Editor re mends that when Gen. Jackson’s figure h placed on the Constitution, that a bust of S Kendall be placed on the rudder. Mr. Calhoun’s speech on the repeal 0f Force Bill has been reported. We have l‘‘* this speech heretofore. The National G says— The main argument of Mr. Calhoun see. us to be far-fetched; the causative pan i r° tionable—the deductions are of course ^Uts elusive; but he lias not mistaken the tion and designs of the Government? P??‘ like better Mr. Clay’s commentary. e are some short passages: ie**‘4 It would be perceived that there wer* parts to the bill that the Senator from L Carolina sought to repeal—one was miii?ULi and temporary, and the other judiciai and r3’ manent; and if it should be thought nrnJ,?T repeal the first, he doubted the pronrietv J pealing the last. For one, he would silv ir soothed one feeling—if it solaced one AriienV K heart, in this widely extended republic-f should have no objection to tfie repeal r f j military part of the bill, but &ouid vote for fr with nleasure: though shrmia 1 1 repeal of the other. He should have no d rf'' culty, provided the repeal were put on grounds than those of the triumph of nullified tion. To that, he never could give his aid consent. He did not rise for the purpose of king a speech in reply to what had fallen fio,' the Senator from South Carolina. To many 0'i that gentleman’s views, he gave his entire'a* sent; but he must add, that with many othei he could not agree. At all events, the dimen sion was not at all profitable at this pecui a juncture. Sir, we have got, said Mr. Clav a nullification infinitely more dangerous, not it: South Carolina, but in Washingtcn whici threatens destruction to the liberties^the coun try, by an entire absorbtion of all the powers of Ihe General Government in the hands of one man: the nullification of our Southern sister was bygone. Was this, then, the time for abstruse propositions and metaphysical discussions? It would be better to let them sleep, and for gen tlemen to buckle on their atrmour to meet and arrest the present and practical danger.” “After the compliments paid him (Mr. C.) foi the part he had felt his duty, to take in the set tlement ot the tariff question, a measure that had commanded that Senator’s approbation he had hoped that that subject would have bee permitted to remain undisturbed. So far as he knew the sentiments of the country, and of the friends with whom he acted, they were willin'* to abide by the compromise fully, fairly and faithfully, and not to suffer it to be violated but to make a fair experiment of its pro vision?" “He trusted that General Jackson s election would impress the people with one important truth, which deserv ed general inculcation, that it is a duty they owe themselves and their,dearest interests, in theme lection of a C hief Magistrate, to look well fo his previous character, conduct, and habits, to ascertain his principles, to scrutinize his motives of action, to examine his passions, prejudices and temper of mind, and to weigh well, in all respects, the consequences like to ensue from their choice, and not to decide under the pre.;t removed to give place to additions that win made to the collection' ufr

Mr. Daniel gave no pledges to hide bv the decision of the meeting; but, on refused. I. as the friend of Mr. Daniel gave no pledges that he would succumb ,(J the decision of this meeting.

Are you to be dictated to by a Junto of “streaked, striped, and speckled” politicians? Do you agree with the Father of Democracy when he proclaims that K mankind are not born with saddles on their backs, to be rode, booted, and spurred, le 1 gitimately, by the grace of God?” And will you permit the best and dearest privilege of a freeman to be invaded, without failing in the 1 last entrenchment? And will you not proclaim to the world that you had rather die the last of American freemen than live the first of Ame rican slaves?” If so, then arouse from your le thargy—buckle on your armor—and go forth in the great cause of Constitutional Liberty. Citizens! I have done. To your patriotism— to your sense of justice—to your love of right —I appeal; and in the name of that ever living Justice we are bound to obey, I implore you to vindicate, by your vindictive verdict, your insulted rights and privileges. Your fellow-citizen, WM. S. DANIEL. Fairfax County, April 16, 1834. H3=» A new born white infant was placed at the front door of a very worthy citizen of this place, Mr. Thomas Smith, by some person or persons unknown, on Wednesday night last.— Those concerned had humanity enough to find the little foundling a home where they knew it would be kindly treated. Since “fortune will buckle favors on his back, whether he will or not,” Mr. Smith must be content with his good luck, and fliank the donors for their compliment. The Washington Correspondent of the New York Enquirer, noticing the recent debates in the House of Representatives on the Appro priation Bill, proceeds thus: Mr. Adams, who first proposed to strike out the clause for the additional clerk, gave us to day a very animated speech, and one bitterly sarcastic on the promised reform and retrench ment of the present administration. In the course of his remarks lie related withfmuch hu mor an anecdote which is worth preserving. In the year IS—, this country being about to go to war with some of the Barbary powers, a sum was raised for the purpose of carrying on the war. It was supposed the war would continue for a short time. The fund was called the Mediterranean fund; and the act pro vided that it should be continued for six months after the end of the war, and no longer. The i war lasted two years—at the end of six months, when this fund was to have expired, another bill was brought in,—on the plea that although peace was, indeed, proclaimed, things were in a very unsettled state in Barbary. The bill was again renewed—for two years, and no longer. That bill expired, and another passed, continu ing this Mediterranean fund for another two years, and no longer. Thus it went on. On the occasion of (I think Mr. A. said) its fourth renewal, for two years and no longer, I Mr. A. was a member of the Senate. George Clinton was then Vice President of the United States and presiding in the Senate. He beckon ed to Mr. A. who went to him. “I wish,” said he, in a whisper to Mr. A. you would move to strike out those words, 1 and no longer.’” “I will with pleasure,” said Mr. A. “but what rea son shall I give.” Give what reason you please,” said Clinton, but I cannot bear the thought of signing my name to a lie any longer.” Even so Mr. A. said it would be with this tem porary clerk, for one year” The ex-P. wears extremely well—looks hearty, is the first to come into, and last to leave, the House,—and never misses a day. Many of the Senate were on the floor during his speech. Deaf and Dumb.—-In an excellent article on the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, in the North American Review, the following instances are given, that the intellectual faculties of deaf and "dumb persons, may be cultivated to a great extent: When Clerc was asked if he loved the Abbe Sicard, he replied in the following words. De prived at birth of the sense of hearing, and by a necessary consequence, of speech, the deaf and dumb were condemned to a most melan choly vegetation; the Abbe de I’Epee and the Abbe Sicard were born, and these unfortunate persons, confided to their regenerating care, passed from the class of brutes to that of men: mn,7 Jinn; miirli I mnct 1 \Tr> tlio A Mm* J J Sicard.” Massieu, being once asked the difference be tween God and nature, replied, 1 God is the first Framer and Creator of all things. The first beings all sprang from his divine bosom. He said to the first, you shall produce the second;’ his wishes are laws—these laws are nature.’ Eternity,’ he said, is a day with yesterday or to-morrow.’ i Hope is the flower of happiness.’ Gratitude is the memory of the heart.' Davy Crockett says what he thinks.-His last in the House, was on the 9th instant,when he oppos ed the appointment of another clerk to put papers to rights that incompetent clerks had put wrong, for the State Department; or, rather, when ano ther thousand dollars of the people’s money was proposed to be put into the pocket of some other incompetent tool, only to pave the way for some 1 other to come in as little qualified, to get a thou sand dollars more. On this occasion Col. Crockett said: He wanted to know how it happened that this difficulty about the papers had never been found out before—in the old times—in the Pro digal’s times? There had been a great talk about the economy of the present administra tion, and yet, at the very first stroke, they had created a hundred new clerks—they had re formed out all the old faithfuLservants of the Government, some with grey heads, to make room for partisans, and what they wanted in quality, they must make up in quantity, and this they called Jackson reform. In the Prodigal’s times the expenses of the Government had been thirteen millions; now they were twenty-two millions. There was no sense in it. In his part of the country it would not even be called good nonsense. He believed they had clerks enough; he was for making no new ones. The gentle man from Kentucky, Mr. Hardin, had said a good deal about their being so fat and sleek, but to him they looked more like famine. But this was the consequence of letting one man wield the destinies of the government. That was not what our fathers shed their blood for.” Turn Out" at Salmon/alls.—A barn belong ing to the Salmonfalls Manufactory Co. at So mersworth, took fire on Thursday last, about 2 o’clock, P. M., and was consumed without do ing much other damage. A spectator was much 1 pleased at the appearance of the turn out” of the Factory Girls on the occasion. It was Fast Day: they were comfortably seated in their dwellings, arrayed in their Sunday dress—and when the cry was made, they at once sallied forth in their silk gowns, and white aprons, dropped into the ranks, and by their activity in handing water preserved other valuable prop erty endangered. This we consider the best, most creditable, and praiseworthy “turn out” the Factory Girls have made the present year. Portsmouth Journal. MARRIED, On Tuesday, 11th March, by the Rev. Wm.

[communicated.] DIED, At his residence, in Piscataway, (Md.) on Monday, the 14th instant,—after a painful ill ness, which he bore with great humility,—Fran cis Asbury Ward, in the 26th year of his age; leaving a wife and one child, to whom his loss in this life is irreparable—also a sister and bro thers, to whom he was all that brother could be, and bv whom he was beloved with an affection which makes this bereavement truly heart-rend ing. The estimation in which he was held by his neighbors was fully evinced by the general grief manifested, without distinction of party, sect, or condition it* life. It was here that the Catholic, the Episcopalian, and the Methodist, —by which last name his Christian profession was designated.—were seen to unite the sympa thies of the Christian and neighbor, and to shed, indiscriminately, the tears of grief, for one so much respected in life and lamented in death. But for the man who has no fears of death, and expresses no wrish to live in opposition to the will of Heaven, We should not sorrow as those who have no hope; for if we believe that Jesus flipH flnH rncp a arn in pv’pii cn thpm nlen wliirh sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” Piscataway.

They have outlived many rival preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin istered for manv years, as 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 generally appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony s Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foul and Ob stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and Venereal Taint. „ofaTT, 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. Retfe's Botanical Drops are successfully used in cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches pimplea on the face—festering eruptions on the skin_and other diseases of the external surface; and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to free the system from humors. j 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 best medicine known, for the complaints for which it i is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole class of such remedies.

IN that long tram of diseases which seem to grow with the growth of civilized society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human life; yet this 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; greenish and bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri veiled extremeties, and general emaciation of the whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses sionofthe 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. This exceeding!* powerful, t%nd yet equally sate and innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc ed in a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit-1 ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter mination of the disorder. As the Fills require in ordinary cases no confine ment, they may be administered with confidence and safety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled success has hitherto attended their administration in a great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving the emaciated victim lrom the bed of disease, and re storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and activity. Price $1 for who/e boxes of 30 pills, aud 50 cents for half do* of 12 pills, with directions. Debilitated Females! TUB complaints peculiar to the female part of the community, have been long successfully treated by the administration of the Aromatic Pills, originally prescribed and compounded by Dr Itelfe They cleanse the blood from those disorders of the female constitution, for which the pills are an effectual speci fic; they restore a free circula ion, reform the irregular operations of the sanguiferous system, and rectify the disordered habits. The proprietor's confidence in the superior excellence of this equally innocent and pow •rful preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes tiraony from many restored patients. He can assure this portion of the public, that when HR. RELFE’S AROMATIC PILLS FOR FEMALES r u vajuu are regularly taken, according to the directions, ac companying them, they revive and establish the desir ed healthy habits, and restore to the pallid counte nance the natural glow of health and good spirits Married ladies will find the pills equally useful, ex cept in cases of paegnancy, when they must not be taken; neither must they be taken by persons of hec tic or consumptive habits. They may be used success fully by either men or women in all Hypochondriac, Hysteric or Vapourish disorders.

SAM. H. P. LEE. Baltimore, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn. Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most every description of disease, and believe they sa* ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you baa made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, 1 accidentally saw an advertisement of yours in a New York 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 l had without this test, I 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 1 came to the Messrs. Keerls', who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using them, found the same effects from them I had always experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strength♦*»evl by their operation, beca ise they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy, costiveness, &c. The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst.

I concluded lhatthe Ointment would occasionally fall into many hand., some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficultyoftheproces.-nc. vertheless, it might be progated in ,hl8*d'd,*™,ed. tuation, as it might in some degree resemble »he 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 d,8e^®» some of which have so long baffled the skill of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description? 2d Sore leg* and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particuJarlythose hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by the name of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains ofthe 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 parts affected 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, increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains. It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES. From the Hon. John Cache, Member of the House of Re presentatives in Congres" Washington, Ma»v h 22, 1826. j Sir—My son having been afflicted for five years witn Willie swelling, uuu Having aj>pucu cvcijt iciiic dy recommended by the most eminent physicians within my reach without success, 1 at length wrocured one jug of Dr Judkins’ Patent Specific Ointment, and made the application according to the directions ac- companving the ointment, and state, for the benefit i of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect cure was effected- My son has enjoyed good health ever since. 1 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, Joey CotEB Dr. Win. Gunton, Washington City. From L P. IV. Batch, Esq Counsellor at Law, Fs on one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pain was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see vere, that she could not sit up for upwards of three years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hers If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few, doses of No, 1 and 2, alternately, about eight piPa for a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in their use, she is now restored to health; and 1 have no objection to this case being made public for the benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly, H.

This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not >ne particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pi'asant and benign in it operation, and at the same time the 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 h few extra times to the purposes of eva cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the tear of catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustonu 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 bv purging; and vet the weak. DR. MEAD'S ANTI-DYSPECTIC or MACH PILLS, *T°’ THE only medicine ever yet offered to n public, from which a radical and ner, nent cure can be obtained of all those chrn states of derangement of the digestive ore^ constituting that complicated disease term^ Dyspepsia. The duty which the proprietor owes to n ety, has induced him to adopt this mode 0f culation, in order to give it a greater ran*??^ publicity, that it may thereby become morer tensively useful than it could possibly be v« it confined within the private practice of a individual whatever. The diseases conseai?^' on a morbid state of the stomach and bow? are numerous, complicated, and, for the n part, very difficult of cure. The proprietor of these Pills is happy [n u ingit in his power to offer to all those wh<i afflicted with the above complaint, a medi^' in which the most unlimited confidence ma-h placed, and, for simplicity of composition ml be given to children and patients of the m delicate habit. In every chronic case ofstomV? complaint, where the disease does not den??! on a schirrus, or cancerous state of tha* or? (in which case no medicine whatever cm d' any good,) these pills will effect a certain an? speedy cure, after the stomach of the patienth been cloyed with magnesia and chalk drenched with all the bitter potions that a t could invent, to no purpose. They win in effectually remove all sourness of the stomac*? not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by cor recting that morbid state of the secretions whi gives rise to it; and at the same time that the? are giving tone to the organs of digestion the-' will renovate and give new life and vigor to tv whole system.

By a chemical analysis, it will be found that the greater proportion of the Chlo rine Compounds so extensively in use, do no1 contain a particle of the Chloride of Soda, ou the agency of which their efficacy must nece< sarily depend.

In short, this preparation will be found to justify the various commendatory notices and recommendations it has received.
