All advertisements appear in both papers, ana are inserted at the usual rates._ CONGRESSIONAL. REMARKS OF MR. HARDIN, of Kentucky^ In the Debate upon Mr. Jarvis’s Resolution, call in" for information concerning the condition of certain Banks in the District of Columbia. Mr. HARDIN addressed the House as follows: Speaker: I would not tiouble the Hou>e with any remarks upon the resolution under consideration, although that part of the resolu tion which proposes to inquire into the situation of the Metropolis Bank, and which has given rise to the debate, had been offered by myself and accepted by the mover, (Mr. Jarvis,) were it not for the personal and pointed observations di rected towards and levelled at my honorable colleague, (Mr. Allan,) who stated that the Me tropolis Bank, which is one of the pets, had not disposable funds immediately under its control and at its command, to meet its paper in circu lation, and the Government and individual de posited. My colleague made this assertion up on his own responsibility, and averred he could prove it, if the House would give him an impar tial Committee—an unpacked jury. The gentleman from New York, (Mr. Beards ley,) in his reply, seemed to question the truth of the statement, and his remarks were, as 1 thought, somewhat personal. My colleague has not had an opportunity to get the floor since; and. as I have it now, I think it incumbent on me to stand by my friend, ana mane goou uie charge, which, 1 flatter myselfl shall do, not on ly to the satisfaction of the House, but to the sa tisfaction of the gentleman from New ork; for 1 am not unwilling to take any man for a juror whom New York is willing to make a Judge ol The gentleman says we have no right to in quire into the situation of the Metropolis Bank. To that I answer, Congress incorporated the Bank, which is nothing but a contract between Congress and the corporators; and, as a party to the contract, Congress has a right to inquire into the actings and doings of the other party, in relation to, and in fulfilment of the agree ment. One other reason, which, to my mind, is un answerable, is, that the Bank has agreed with the Secretary of the Treasury to take the pub lic money on deposite. Does not that confer the right upon the Government, while the mo ney is there, to inquire whether it is safe or not? Besides, in the language of the gentleman from Indiana, (Mr. Lane) no Bank ought to be per mitted to keep the public money one day, if it should refuse and deny to Congress the right and privilege of making such examination; it would manifest too strongly the consciousness in the Directors of its want of solidity, nay, its insolvency. Congress to permit the public mo ney to remain any longer, after such refusal, would betray its trust. The gentleman says that, after a Bank in the District breaks, we have then the right to incniire into the reasons of its failure. I had much'rather prevent a mis fortune from happening, than to enjoy the me lancholy privilege of weeping over it after if has occurred. Before, Mr. Speaker, i call the attention of the House to the Bank under consideration, I beg their indulgence while l state and exhibit the si tuation of all the pet Banks; those favored Banks which have been made the depositories of the public money—that this House and the nation may see and judge whether the public money is safe or not in the places where it is now depo sited. The statement shews the situation of the Banks about the 1st of February last. This ta ble, which I have made out, I believe shews cor rectly the specie on hand in each Bank, the pa per of each Bank in circulation, and the amount of public deposites. The statement is as fol lows: r r i_at., if_( flt l ;\(li AlCU UlU LAiUUHV u u obavviuvm vji the Public Deposites, Specie, Bills in circulation &c. of the new Government Banks.] The Bank of America, New York; Mecha nics’ Bank, New York; Manhattan Company, New’ York; Girard Bank, Philadelphia; Union Bank, at Baltimore; and the Metropolis Bank, at Washington, have public deposites to the amount of $7,473,335 SS Specie in vaults 1,284,477 23 Circulation 2,0S1,056 73 H Recapitulation of the above banks, $6,1S8,S58 G5 more deposites than specie; $5,392,279 15 more deposites than circulation of their own pa per; and only $796,579 50 greater circulation than specie. RECAPITULATION. 4 These several banks have $8,109,216 35, more of public deposites than specie. They also have $1,282,530 48 of public deposites, more than the circulation of their oicn notes. They also have $6,826,685 87, greater paper circulation than specie on hand. This statement does not include the individu al deposites, which generally are large, owing to the fact, I am told, of the Banks paying in terest on the individual deposites. Those de posites, and the other debts and liabilities of the Banks, are equal to their other disposable funds, and the difference between the specie on hand In each Bank, and the public deposites and pa per in circulation, can only be met by calling in the notes under discount, w hich cannot be effected within the time, the Government will want the money. This will be the necessary consequence when the Banks are solvent, but I am fearful a number of them will prove insol vent when the demand for the money of the Government shall be made. That demand must be made this year, to meet the current expenses of the year. It will be recollected, all commer cial operations are paralyzed, and that, in all probability, the importation of goods, subject to duty, will fall short thirty or forty millions this present year. If that event shail happen as a part of the fruits and blessings of this glorious experiment, the President has been making for the last six months, then the public deposites will all have to be called in from those pet Banks to meet the current expenses of the year; but I am afraid the call will 6e met by the Banks, as the spirits met the call to come from the vas ty deep. I will now present to the House the situation of the Bank of the Metropolis, according to its last report made to the Senate, dated 3d of Feb ruary, 1834. It is as follow’s: Statement of the Bank of the Metropolis. 3d I February, 1831. Cr. Bills and notes discounted $685,503 69 Stocks of various kinds lyo*l£« 21 Suspended debt qq Real estate Notes and checks on other Banks 335,166 12 Specie o* Due from Banks 23p,61\e take into consideration the tacts which have been stated j to this House in memorials from the Corpora tion, that the Corporation owes a debt, in Eu I rope in part, and at home in part, of upwards of one million eight hundred thousand dollars, the city tax to meet the interest of that debt, and the other current expenses of the year, is equal to three per cent, upon the cash selling price of real property, as 1 have been infoi med, there can be no doubt that no calculations can be make on that item, The item of stocks of various kinds deserves a minute investigation. That would, at first appearance, seem to be available means, until we inquire and ascertain what kind of stock it is. To do that, 1 will efer to a report made to Senate, as to its situation, on the 9th of December, 1333, which is as follows: Statement of the Hank oj the Metropolis, Wash ington, 9th Dec. 1833. Cr. Bills and notes discounted $753,925 27 Corporation of Washington, 6 per ct. stock. 10,000 00 Stock of this Bank, 204,900 cost 181,541 45 Real estate.25,113 83 Notes and checks on other Banks 39,453 64 Specie.

That item, then, instead of being a part of the means of the Bank to meet its debts, is a substruction from its means, and Mr. Seak er, it proves two other important facts—it proves that, between the Directors and Stock holders, in a contract made by men who knew the situation of the Bank, the stock sold for about twelve per cent, below par—for $203,900 sold for $181,541 45. The other fact it proves is this, that, whenever the Directors of a Bank and stockholders combine, and make arrange ments to pay off the debts of the Bank by stock that they are preparing to break, just as much as a man in the last stages of the consumption, uritl, rlrtntli clufiniT him in Ihp mnlrps hi deny.” 10 To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette Mr. Snowden—If Mr. Mason can show t| he did not, at the Canal meeting last May av that he preferred day’s work to contract wmi on our Canal, and will deny that he did. atoth times and places, advocate that preference-1; he can deny that Mr. Martineau, in writing u the Board of the Canal, did decidedly appro*' contract work to day’s work—if he can m that he did not hire men at §00 a year, andlu,. them to the Canal at 75 cents a day—then 1 ha*!', contributed to the propagation of what wasp,'* true, and shall deeply regret it.

Whigs and Tories.—As these terms havebre frequently applied (or misapplied) of late ani as one of them has been adopted by several nators in their speeches, we trust that a shott account of their origin will not be deemed a vu, lation of neutrality. It appears that there is a difference of opinion among the learned as to the derivation of bot. words. A celebrated British historian (Bi^i.oii Burnet) explains the etymology of the void Whig in this way:—The south west counties Scotland have seldom corn enough to serve them through the year; and the northern parts producing more than they need, those in n.,. west come in the summer to buy at Leith ti stores that come from the north; and from ;l word whiggam, used in driving their horses, ti drivers were called whiggamors, and, by able* viation, whigs. Now in the year previous t Duke Hamilton’s defeat, the ministers animated their people to rise and inarch to Edinbuig: and they came up marching at the head of their pa rishioners with an unheard of fury, praying ami preaching all the way as they came. The Mai quis of Argyle and his party came and headed them, they being about six thousand. This wa> called the whiggam’s inroad, and ever after that all that opposed the Court came, in contempt, to be called whigs; and from Scotland the word was brought into England. The foregoing seems a probable account ot the origin of the term: but the more generally received definition is that given by Defoe and others, who derive it from a Saxon term signi fying whey, and which in Scotland is called vhi* or wigg. This was the most ordinary beverage of those in the Highlands who were first called whigs, and this peculiarity according to some obtained them the name. According to other.-, whey being the weakest or most insignificant part of the milk, the name whig was first appli ed by the tories in contempt to their opponents, meaning that they were a milk-and-water set. The word tory is of Irish origin—though th*‘ thing, lory ism, has always been so rare in that country. The name, it is said, was first given to a set of banditti in Ireland—rapparees as they were also called—whose summons to surrender was expressed by the Irish word Tone, i. e. dive me. It was thence transferred to thradhe rents of Charles I. by his enemies, under the pretence that he favored the rebels in Ireland. Others derive the term from the Irish word/' rnighim—to pursue for purposes of violence. The terms whig and lory, as party designa tions did not come into general use in England until about the middle of the reisrn of Charles II It was in the year 1678 that the whole nation was first observed to bo divided into II lugfan 'Tories. During the trials of the persons'accu ed of conspiracy by the famous (or infamous Titus Oates, the appellation whig was given such as believed the plot real, and torij to than' who held it fictitious. Since that time the term Tory has been im plied in England to the party in favor ol or. ex tendon, or opposed to the diminution, the powers of the,Government and its head, an*. Whig to those who espouse the cause ol thept much the same sort of ejaculation, with Ancient Pistol devoured the leek.

April 1833: \verage ov kanwofthe Thermometer 43 Warmest day^the 29th 8* LOiuesi uav, uic win During the month, 9 clear days. Note.—This month has been remarkable for alon^ continuance of north-easterly winds, from which point it has blown fourteen days out of thirty. It has also been remarkable for a suc cession of severe gales and high winds. On Saturday evening, the 26th, about ten o’ clock a slight snow-squall occurred in town, and on Sunday morning, the 27th, the Blue Kidcre Mountains were covered with snow. To tliis3cause the cold weather which was expe lienced at that time may be attributed. The Fisheries bordering on the Potomac have in most instances been attended with success. The quantity of Fish taken at a single cast of the seine, so far exceeding those of former years, is indeed astonishing. By way of record, two cases shall be noticed, viz: Somewheie about the middle of this month, at a fisheiy 11 miles below town, called Greenway, at one haul, one million and a half of Herring, and be tween eleven and twelve fiundrcd. Shad, weie taken. And on the 2Sth inst., in like mannei, were caught eleven thousand Shad at the same landing. Shad have been taken in great abundance: at various landings on the Potomac. Herring have been taken in profuse quantities at most of the fisheries; and both Shad and Herring-are of a superior quality, and the season has been, in most instances, favorable for curing them. The late frosts have been very severe on fruit trees, early vegetables, &c.; so much so, that no conjecture can be formed, at this time, with le gard to the probable result. We close our monthly report, by stating that the health of this city and its neghborhood con tinues to be sound, as usual. I Museum, April 30, 1834. Extract of a letter from a gentlemanat Old Point Comfort, to his friend in Baltimore, dated on Saturday evening last:— •‘The steamboat Richmond was chartered to remove a company of troops from this garrison to Fort Washington, and this was the day ap pointed to take them on board. Accoidingly ihe boat leA Norfolk* between 7 and 8 o’clock, this morning; but on her arrival at this place, found that the order had been countermanded by a despatch which had been received from “the Governmentf this morning, by the steam boat Columbia, from Washington, which boat bad met the Richmond on her way from this to -Norfolk—the Richmond, however, unadvised 1 by the Columbia that she had Drougm cuumn landing orders, proceeded on, anti arri\eu here lor the object above stated.

Never had I imagined it possible, that any man could seriously look to the Presidents offi cial oath, as a substantive grant of Executive powers, but, considered in the point of view in which the President in this Protest regards it, it is a most copious source of power, and (which is worse) of vague, undefined, .illimitable powd er.” _- __— jce— We understand that the ship Tuscany lately returned from Calcutta, is about piepai ing for another voyage to that place, and will i take out another cargo of ice.

RELFE’S JC?* Botanical Drops! are every year increasing their long established repu tation. They have outlived many rival preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin* istered for many 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 general y 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 Byes, Scald Head, and VenerealTaint. 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. Ilelfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used in esses of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches—pimples 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 A physician of eminence, who had witness'd the ef ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to ack nowlodge to the proprietor, that he considered it the best 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.

FIlHOSB who would retain or restore these desirable JL personal advantages, are assured that no compo sition can-be obtained superior tc the BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE. This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every respect, and has, for many years past, given universal satisfaction wherever it has been used. Tbe Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently enter the composition of tooth powders m common use, and it wh.tens tlie enamo. ui i .c w doing it the least injury. The regular use of tins ad mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pre ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentnfice 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 train of diseases which seem to grow with the growth of civilized society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human I life; yet this dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar rives ut the terrific maturity whl?h so often baffles the sagacitv 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 sy mptoms oppression of the ureas*; greeni-di 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 sionof the mental faculties, and while hope still whis j pers her flattering tale—cold ext. entities, and a pre mature death. For the various stages of this complaint, one or the most approved remedies ever vet discovered is DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS. This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and innocent preparation, has effected thorough an.l rapid cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc ed in a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit- i ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter- mination of*lie disorder. As the Pills require in ordinary case3 no confine ment, they may be administered with confidence and •afety 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 from the bed of disease, and re storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and activity.

Debilitated Females! t|AHE complaints peculiar to the female part of the A community, have been long successfully treated by the administration of the Aromatic Pills, originally prescribed and compounded by Dr. Relfe They cleanse the blood from those disorders of the female constitution, for which the pills are an effectual speci fic; they restore a freecircula ion, reform the irregular operations of the sangu.ferous system, and rectify the. disordered habit9. The proprietor’s confidence in the superior excellence of this equally innocent and pow erful preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes timony from many restored parents. He can assure this portion of the public, that when DU. RELFE’3 AROMATIC PILLS FOR FEMALES 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. In all cases of this description, the pills purify, invigorate, and revive the disordered system. Price $1 50 a box.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick town% Maryland. Richmond. Va- July 15, 1830. npHE public will be pleased to understand that 1 was 4 the original discoverer of Judkins’ Ointment, and sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, j until the expiration of the same; out, having connect ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD. OCT’ Imposition having been practised upon the pub lic by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud- i tins’ Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the authority granted to him in In* liters patent, no* to i sail the Ointment after his own name, Hencefurth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OIN T* MENT, (formerly Judkins When I first made and prepared ^i9 Ointment, and had in several instances, experienced its good effects, I sent it to several physicians, with in,tractions m what cases to aDply it. who were ot opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occMtonally fa I into many hands, some of whom would probably un J*^ke t0 make it, and knowing the difficulty f.the vertheless, it might be progated in tins *'luherated s tualion.asit might in some degree rl’|c nal—and in this way its good effects would be• ob,'t*"J ted- Under these considerations, I secured the orig nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffled the skih ot me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particiflsrlythose hardenedtumors in woman’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by tnename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; I 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in whatever part situate; 7th Tetters of allkinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 8th Chilblains or partsaffected bv 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 I 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.

Washington, Mar* h 22, 1826 Rir \|y son having been afflicted for five years with white swelling, and having applied every reme dy recommended by the most eminent physicians within my reach without success, I at length procured one jug of Dr Judkins* Patent Specific Ointment, and made the application according to 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 iias enjoyed good health eversince. I have no doubt that to the Ointment alone lie is indebted; for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint ment.

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 1 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; i and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve- ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you 1 had made your fortune, and abandoned their maoufac- i lure to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this i impression, I 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, s and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other t respoct. Finding those I had without this test, I be- t 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 j :hem, found the same effects from them I had always fc sxperienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my- s

,-lHn posseteion of a iheJitine I so highly prize, that i that 1 cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you th.a avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu- j rio^f 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, bul if oxix the printed name is affixed, they, are spurious, and to be avoided. New London, Conn. Dec. 182 r._ HYGEIANISM. THE following testimonials of the superior efficacy of the HYGEIAN MEDICINES in the cure of our diseases, speak in a language which must carry conviction to the minds of the most skeptical: Brown Universitt, Dec. 25, 1833. To Mr. Samuel Young. Agent.for the Hygeian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode Island. Sir—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com pels ine, in compliance with your request, to give a brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I received from the Hygeian Medicines. 1 give publicity to the same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps, 1 may be useful to some of my fellow-men, who may be afflicted with a similar disease. My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition may be explicitly tinier* stood, l state, in connexion with the relation of the cure, sbme of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep temher, 1832, Lcaught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week, with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my couglt soon abated, and apparently, I was regaining my health; when, after about three weeks, in the course of the night, having returned the evening be fore in usual health. I found myself bleeding at the lungs, I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut ed 1 spat blood, occasionally, for four dajs; it left me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap petite, and withal, very weak A few weeks determined that I wa3 in a decline I received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, who often seemed to check the progress of the dis* j ease, and inspire the hope of a spc-ely recovery. But i rel pse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower than the preceding, seemed to brffie all human skill, and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus, months after the first httack, a tubercle” [d produced no distress, sleep aobn became sound and refreshing, and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease had nearly aii disappeared. I took the medicine sixty days regularly every night, averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, I took about four doses a week, until I had taken about thirteen hundred pills, when 1 found myself restored to health. After 1 commenced the Hyg-.-iari, I took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I was able to resume my studi s in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the disease Hitherto 1 have? been convalescent; and it m> strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain 1 have less pains, and am more free from temporary Bicktiessj than at any time since my earliest recollec tion.
