The week is past, the Sabbath dawn comes on, Rest—rest in peace—thy daily toil is done; And standing, as thou standest on the brink Of a new scene of being, calmly think Of what is gone, is now, and soon shall be, As one that trembles on eternity. For, sure as this, now closing week, is past, So sure advancing, Time will close my last; Sure as to-morrow, shall the awful light Of the eternal morning hail my sight. Spirit of good! on this week’s verge I stand, Tracing the guiding influence of thy hand, That hand, which leads me gently, kindly still, Up life’s dark, stony, tiresome, thorny hill; Thou, that in every storm hast sheltered me Beneath the wings of thy benignity: A thousand graves my footsteps circumvent, And I exist—thy mercies’ monument! A thousand writhe upon the bed of pain; I lire—and pleasure flows through every vein. Want o’er a thousand wretches waves her wand; I, circled by ten thousand mercies, stand. How can 1 praise thee, Father! how express My debt of reverence and of thankfulness! A debt that no intelligence can count, While every moment swells the vast amount. For the week’s duties thou hast given me strength, And brought me to its peaceful close at length; And here my grateful bosom fain would raise, A fresh memorial to thy glorious praise. Many of the members of Congress, and other gentlemen of distinction, were invited to attend the State Rights’Celebration in Philadelphia, on the 17th of April, (Mr. Jefferson’s birth-day,) and those who could not attend were requested to furnish a sentiment. We extract the following from a number of replies in Raguet’s Examiner, as a specimen of happy classic allusion, genu ine wit, and sound political sentiment. From the Hon. Wai'ren R. Davis (of S. C.) Washington, April 11, 1834. Gentlemen: I have received your flattering letter in behalf of the friends of State Rights in the city and county of Philadelphia, inviting me to join in celebrating, by a public (estival, the birth day of Jefferson. 1 had promised myself the happiness of meet ing you on that patriotic occasion, but am pre vented by the House of Representatives taking up the annual appropriation bill for the civil ex penditures of the government, which contains so many irregular, improper, extravagant and corrupting appropriations, that I feel compelled to be at my post. But I shall be with you in heart, and soul, and feeling. 1 rejoice that the indignant spirit of freedom is kindling in Pennsylvania, the ancient soil of every temperate, manly, sturdy virtue—the land of M’Kean, Dallas, Rush, and others, and of her adopted Gallatin. I confess that until lately I was desponding, and had almost despaired of any assistance to the cause of State Rights from the ‘4 key-stone of the arch,” which had been in the first contest, their firm and efficient suppor ter, but this movement in remembrance of, and •forlhe purpose of cherishing the principles of il freedom’s giant child and darling champion,” will awaken all our hopes, and rouse all our en ergies. I knewsto be sure, that you had the same stock of men, with the same habits, with increased wealth, intelligence and power; but I felt with the writer (1 forgot who) that said of Greece, her climate and soil are as genial and luxuriant as in the times of her freedom and glory; her vines, pomegranates and figs, are as good as ever—but where are her Pindars?”— Where are the representatives of the masterspi rits who arrested the downward progress of the Federal Government in ’98? Where are the old Sfrrhon Snyder republicans, the fast triends of constitutional liberty and limited and regulated government? i ao npi mjuv> muie mt*iancnuiy ana molli fying Exhibition than that of a descendant of a noble patriot—“a glide man’s get,” as Burns has it, bowing the neck, and crouching the knee, and begging some imitator of Caesar to accept the crown, force bill, deposites and all! To see such an one tossing up his cap, and venting his breath in huzzas for any man in power, who is prodigal and indiscriminate in the use and abuse of its patronage,and who maybe reckless enough to assume the responsibility of disregarding the practice and usages of government, the spirit of the constitution, and the wishes and opinions of the tax-paying people of the country. I take the responsibility,” seems to have- become a cardinal virtue in the estimation of the office holders, office-hunters, and the whole herd of parasites; but is it necessarily a virtue, apart and of itself, independent of the motive and ob ject? Csesar took the responsibility when he crossed the Rubicon—Cromwell took the re sponsibility when he prorogued the Rump Par liament—and Bonaparte when he dispersed, at the point of the bayonet, the National Assembly of the Representatives of the people; and a bull takes upon himself the responsibility” when he breaks into a china shop! But all these incurred real responsibilities; the two-legged ruffians ran successively the hazard of the Tarpean rock, the gallows, and the gullotine; and the bull incurred the responsi bility of an ounce ball in the curl of his fore head. But what is the responsibility of a Pre sident of the United States? Impeachment!!! Why, in nine cases out of ten, the President, with his immense patronage* and a full treasu ry, will have more representatives in Congress than the people. It would be a farce, a dull one to be sure, but still* a larce! In every other country that I know* of, but this, the universal price of usurpation is the head of the usurper; here it is a paltry squib in the newspapers, or an abortive attempt at impeachment. But sup pose it successful, what would be the sentence? Instead of bringing his head to the block, it would only be what public opinion alone would accomplish—disqualification to hold office. A proper, wholesome, salutary responsibility to public opinion, would be always felt and ack nowledged by men of virtue, honor and cha racter, who have a regard for their future fame, and the judgment of history; but suppose that hereafter some frontier ruffian rowdy, like Maxi min the Thracian, should be promoted to the purple on account of the length of his foot, his skill in wrestling, keeping up with a trotting horse, or killing Indians, or some similar im portant feat or qualification, what motive of honor or fame could touch or influence his vul gar, tyrannic heart? Would these bind him?— They would have no more virtue than a wisp of straw or rope of sand. In our wide extend ed (fbnfederacy of twenty-four States, compos ed of a people scrupulously just, and habituat ed to patient investigation; whose sources of information are generally, in the interior, week ly newspapers, delayed by irregular mails, and obstructed by the power of the government pat ronage; is it surprising that misrule should be tolerated (because undiscovered) for the peri od of two or three years? By that time, the in cumbent will be on the eve of vacating, and the people, like Shakspeare’s watchman, being “glad to be rid of the rascal,” and their minds excited and occupied in choosing his successor, will always enable the caitiff to escape. I send a toast below\ I have the honor to be, with great respect, your obd’t. serv’t. WARREN R. DAVIS. The Public Treasury.—Better where moth and rust may corrupt, than where thieves cun i break in and’ steal. MR. FENIMORE COOPER’S LETTER. We have read Mr. Cooper’s letter to his coun trymen very attentively; we did not expect much from it, on learning its scope and inten tion, and have not been in the least disappointed. No man rendered to the liberties of this coun try a greater service than Tom Paine, by his political writings, and had he confined himself exclusively to politics, all parties would have cheerfully commended his patriotism and abili ty, as many now endeavor to forget that such a personage ever existed. The comparison, we admit is, only remotely applicable. Mr. Cooper commenced public life as an unsuccess ful novelist,—that is to say, the first novel he published, which we have always thought his best, fell as it were, still born from the press;— it was only when he struck out a new path and laid the foundation of his next novel on histo rical facts, blended with fancy and imagina tion, that he carried his readers triumphantly with him, and established a reputation as a nov elist not inferior to any in Europe or in this country. But Mr. Cooper was not contented with the reputation he had acquired in the lite rary world; .he aspired to the celebrity of a statesman and politician, and commenced the study of politics abroad; in this he resembles Thomas Paine, whose immense popularity as a political writer was deemed by him “stale, fiat and unprofitable,” unless he could upset and derange the existing religious doctrines of the civilized world. Politics cannot be studied: it must be learnt practically; it is with men and not books, a political student must be familiar. What prospects could Mr. Cooper have of be coming a useful practical American politician by visiting Parliament or the Chamber of De puties; disputing about the Doctrinaries, and writing political artices in the newspapers?— More than one-half of his present letter is a de fence of himself against certain attacks in the American papers on his writings and princi ples, and if he had rested here, the objects of his letter might be deemed to have been answered, for he has an undoubted right to defend his mo tives and his principles whenever they are un justly assailed. He does not, however, stop here—but in the most awkward manner proceeds to dovetail a defence of the indefensible conduct of the Pre 1 sident on the deposite question, as if the letter, written specially in his own defence, would have been barren of interest unless he went out of j his way to engraft upon it a defence of the ad ministration; the journey, he imagined, would I have been rough and unpleasant, unless he mounted Gen. Jackson on a pillion behind him, and they went oft' in a jog trot together. Mr. Cooper attempts to show by the constitution, “as he understands it,” that the President {has a right to remove the deposites and to remove I a Secretary, and to appoint a Secretary who would do as he bid him; and, moreover, that the Senate had no right to interfere or express any opinion derogatory to the privileges and immunities of the President.

‘~v AlexandriaN SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1834. YERY LATE FROM EUROPE. We yesterday announced the arrival of the ship Eagle, at New York, from Liverpool, bring ing London dates of the 17th of May. In the j afternoon, the packet ship Sovereign, Captain Kearney, arrived from London, with papers al so of the 17th, and subsequently the packet ship Henry IV., Captain Castoff, arrived from Havre, which port she left on the 19th of May, and brings Paris dates to the 17th. GREAT BRITAIN. Col. Tennison’s motion for repealing the Septennial Act, was debated at large on the 15th of May. The proposition was negatived, by a vote of 253 to 185. The leading speakers in favor of the proposition were, the mover, Sir 1). Sanford, and Mr. O’Connell. Against it— Lord Althorp, Lord Dalmany, and Mr. Stan ley. The chief objection urged most effectively against the motion, was, that a reform has been effected which was held out by those who in troduced it, and accepted by those who support ed it, as a settlement of .the question of parlia mentary reform. The reform act was never talked of by its authors or its friends as a step ping stone to further demands, but as a secu rity3 that further demands would not be insisted upon. The Irish Church amendment bill, has been ordered to a third reading in the Lords. Lord Wynford’s Bill for the better observance of the Sabbath, was opposed by the Lord Chan cellor and the Bishop of London, and has been rejected. Notice has been given in the Commons for a bill to abolish imprisonment for debt in certain rasps. Mr. Maxwell has brought forward a motion calling the attention of Parliament to the dis tressed condition of the hand loom weavers. From the unusual prevalence of diarrhce in London another visit of the cholera is appre hended. At the levee of the King of England, on the 7th ult., Captain R. F. Stockton and Lieut. Alex. Slidell, of the United States Navy, were presented by Mr. Vail, the United States Charge (V Affaires. FRANCE. Animated discussions have taken place iu the Chamber of Deputies, on the grants required by the Ministry for the increase of the army.— The Ministers carried their proposition by a majority of 120. Some curious facts came out on the adjourn ed discussion, as to the characters of many of those who took an active part in the disturban ces at Lyons and Paris. According to one of the Deputies (M. Fulchiron,)no small proportion of the reckless people at the former town were brigands and liberated convicts. For it is right you should know, gentlemen,” continued the Hon. Deputy, u that there, as well as in other places, liberated convicts, have played a very remarkable part. A man that I could name, but that he is now in the hands of justice, en tered,at the head of600 brigands,the Faubourg of Vaize, and took possession of the Mayor’s house, saying to the municipal chief, There is no question now of tariffs or wages—the ques tion now is the Republic, and it is in the name of the Republic that 1 establish myself here as a provisional public Mayor.” General Jacqueminat also spoke very signifi cantly. It has been asked,” said the General, what are the causes of the troubles and re volts that we have so often to deplore? I reply that they are caused in part by those incendia ry spetches which we sometimes hear with in these walls. Much has been said of the wretch ed situation of the working classes, but I also have a right to speak on that subject, for every week six hundred workmen are paid in my of fice, and 1 can affirm that never at any former period have the workmen been happier.” The honorable deputy then stated that the great majority of the prisoners brought to the Hotel de-Ville on the night of the 13th April were young lads not more than fifteen years of age, and scarcely covered with rags.” And it is of such beings,” he exclaimed, it can be gravely asserted that they have been driven to despair by the political errors of govern ment?” The Marseilles Journal of May 7th, has the following postscript:— M. Maillefer, principal editor of the Peu pie Souverain, and Messrs. Bartheiemy and Richard, two other editors, have just been ar rested, and placed in the most strict secret con iinpmpnt In Paris arrests continue to be frequent par icularly of newspaper editors. Domiciliary visits, and all the irritating and exasperating workings of an immense police and espionage system, supply innumerable paragraphs to the press, and extend naturally the spirit of hostili ty to the Government which had been already sufficiently rancorous. The King has granted from his privy purse •lie sum of 10,000fr. to be distributed at Lyons amongst the innocent victims of the late riots. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. In the House of l ords, on the 16th of May, r»ord Palmerston, in answer to some questions from Sir R. Vivian, on the affairs of Portugal, stated—“that a treaty which related to the af fairs of the Peninsula had been signed by tne Plenipotentiaries of England, France Spain and Portugal, and that as soon as it should be ratified, it would be laid on the table of the House; that the ratifications of three of the par ties had been received in London; that the ap proaching arrival of the ratification of Portu gal had been officially announced, and that it might be confidently expected that the vessel bearing it would reach England in a few days. His Lordship stated also that it was true tnat General Rodill was within the territories of Portugal; that he had entered them with the full consent of the Portuguese Government, and certainly without the disapprobation of the English government, that the Spanish Gene ral’s operations had been confined to the dis lodgment of Don Carlos and his partisans from the frontiers of Spain, and that he had not acted in concert with the troops of Don na Maria against Don Miguel, though it was true that some most important fortified towns had taken advantage of the protection they believed to be afforded them by the pre sence of the Spanish General to declare spon taneously" for Donna Maria. The Noble Lord refused to enter into any statement respecting the provisions of the Treaty.” HOLLAND AND BELGIUM. The Belgian Question is not yet settled—nor •loes it appear likely soon to be. The Duke of Nassau has set up more difficulties than were expected upon the Luxcnburg affair. The, question of indemnity is the sole point on which j all the obstacles to a final arrangement rest.— The King of the Netherlands, after the many sacrifices he had made to the struggle with j Belgium, does not seem inclined to decide has tily on this point. Mr. McKim’s project of a Treasury Bank” i meets with no favor, from Greek or Trojan. It is universally condemned as a most pernicious scheme to strengthen the hands of whoever may be in power. Nevertheless, Mr. McKim’s plan is in accordance with Gen. Jackson’s ideas of d Treasury Bank thrown out some years ago. Mr. McKim only seeks to revive an exploded doctrine. Have the locusts appeared generally through out the Southern States? In many parts of the Northern Neck of Virginia, we believe, they have not been seen. We observe, too, that it is stated they never appear on the mountains. Senator Forsyth’s abortive wit about the Punch party is no go”‘ with his partv. The j punch is so strong they cannot get it down, says the New York American Whig. Senator Black, of Mississippi,—a very amia ble, estimable and worthy man, and a friend to Gen. Jackson,—having voted against the Re inoval of the Deposites, is about to be denounc* I ed by the party.” Thu Globe has opened its batteries. The Globe thinks Judge McLean quite too non committal. So do we. But the Judge is a j judge, which may be a reason. For ourselves;, however, wo like a man who u Wears his heart upon his sleeve For daws to peck at.” Such a man is Henry Clay, whose very errors generous minds can excuse, because of the no bleness, frankness and independence of his cha racter. The Legislature of New Hampshire have passed a string of resolutions approving the course of the National Administration, includ ing tho removal of the Secretary of the Trea- sury and of the deposites, tho Protest of the President, &c. Also, declaring that the U. S. Bank ought not to be re-chartered. The reso lutions passed in the Senate unanimously, and in the House of Representatives, by a vote of 163 to 62. ___ If it were not for the Bank of the United States, the advocate of power would be at a loss to know what theme to go upon. Tho Bank is the finest thing for them in the world. In their patiiotic rage against it, they lose sight of the Post Office Department—Retrenchment— Reform—the Constitution—every thing. What a blessing the Bank is to folks in a quandary! Water-melons, Pine Apples, &c. &c. were for sale at some of the wharves yesterday. There was some hail yesterday afternoon. Proper precautions to guard against the Cho lera are urged and adopted in many of our ci ties. This pestilence is now in the valley of the Mississippi, and may walk abroad through out the land. Miss Kemble’s (or, rather, Mrs. Butler’s) new work is anxiously looked for. She is said to display in it much partiality for onr country. Doubtless. She has every reason so to feel. The conduct of the famous, or in-famous, Dr. Cooper, in stirring up evil in South Carolina, is strongly reprobated. Like the Devil, he is said to be fond of fishing in muddy water.” Mr. McKean, of Pa., said lately, in the Se nate, *£he was, what he professed to be, a sin cere friend cf Andrew Jackson, though he de tested many of the reptiles that were basking in the beams of his effulgence.” The rep tiles” must find basking in the beams” of Gen. Jackson’j t; effulgence” quite a pleasant business, especially when it is recollected that the rays which make his baze of glory” pro ceed directly from the Treasury. I Mr. Benton proclaims in fhc Senate that the i distress is over.” Let the merchants answer. Mr. Benton says the “lamentation lias ceased.” Let the daily memorials presented to Congress answer. Mr* Benton says that the “American People are, at this day. the most prosperous people on which thebeneiicent sun ofHeaven did ever shine!” Let a crippled commerce, sus pended manufactories, unemployed workmen, low prices, and prostration of credit—all—all answer. Mr. Benton can write an East Room letter._ A public dinner is to bo given to Messrs. Pat ton and Chinn, by the Jackson party at Frede ricksburg, on the 4th of July. We wish party dinners could be given on other days than the- 4th of July. That is a day on which Americans of all parties ought to unite in haimony.

The debate on the Cumberland Road Bill, in the House of Representatives, was a very ani I mated one. Messrs. Hawes, Chilton, and Har den, opposed the bill vigorously, Mr. Chilton particularly referring to the large sums of mo ney that had been expended in making the Road. Messrs. Mercer, Stewart, Thomas, and McKenan, and others defended the expediency of the appropriation, in order to complete a I great national work. Mr. Polk’s exposition of 1 the finances, and the probable expenditures of the Government, induced the House to cut down the sum asked for. Mr. Polk said: The bills which had already become a part of the laws of the land, contained appropriations to no less an amount than $12,504,000. In these he did not include the annual appropriation bill nor the indian annuities bill. This amount the’v learnt had been increased in another branch of the legislature. In addition to this there was the Fortification Bill, $900,000; the Harbor Bill, near a million; besides, the Light house, and various other bills. It was also to be borne in mind, that the 3 per cents were tak en into the estimates of the Secretary of the Treasury which become reimbursable early in next year.” The bill, as amended, was passed by a vote of 127 to 72, and goes back to the Senate. To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette. I send you two extracts from a letter of the late Governeur Morfis, of New York, to the late General Henry Lee, of Virginia, dated at Washington, 22d January, 1801. Mr. Morris was then a Senator. The whole letter is an in teresting one, upon the subject of improving the water communication between the Eastern and Western States. It will be found in the 3d vol., p. 146, of the Life of Morris by Sparks. General Lee, who also was a member of Con gress, had by letter applied to Mr. Morris for his views respecting the commerce of the interior country, the political consequences which might result from it, and the means the United States possessed of rendering that commerce and those consequences favorable to our government and propitious to our future prosperity. Mr. Morris, after remarking upon the 'waters connected with the River Mississippi and the Lakes, comes to the Botomac, and says: You tell me you are well Acquainted with the Poto mnc navigation. This would be a sufficient reason with me not* to dwell upon it, were 1 possessed of equal knowledge of the subject, which l am not. I place it, however, in the foreground, because, being already ad vane ed, the national effort to complete it will not be great, since it opens on a country already cultivated, and because it leads directly to this capital of America, for the furthering and a r ii.. J 1UMCI III£4 Ul Willuil lilt; JIALII* otu/tuo pledged.” Again, he says: As to the means of operat ing, they must be left to men skilled in such business. Our attention will most properly be turned to the means of payment. It appears to me that the produce of the Stamp Office, increased by extending the duties, might be applied to this object, and placed at the dispo sal of the Commissioners, who should be em powered, with the fconsent-of the respective States, to open a ccynmodious navigation, as far as the same may be practicable, from the waters of the Potonv-c to those of the Ohio— from the Hudson to Lake Ontario—from the Chesapeake to the .Delaware, and from the Delaware to the Hudson:—I verily believe that in a few years that fund, properly applied, “would effect these great .objects, and we should peacefully and beneficently make a conquest of the finest country on earth, which, if these measures be neglected, it will cost us, at no distant period,, ten times as much to de fend, as at this time, and in this mode, it would cost us to secure.” Thus it appears, thaf, more than thirty years ago, some of our most distinguished arid pa triotic public men had in view the improve ments which are now going on, so as to con nect, by 3' permanent internal navigation, the Eastern and Western portions of the Union; and, what is more, that they always looked to the nation for furnishing the means of effecting these great improvements. It is hoped the same views are held by our present public men, and that they will not withhold their aid in effecting theoe great objects. A CITIZEN. MARRIED, In Howard County, Missouri, by the Ilev.

In the House of Representatives on Thurs day, the bill making additional appropriations for harbors, and removing obstructions in cer tain rivers, which has been under considera tion for the last two days, was, after anofher animated and protracted discussion to-day, and after rejecting the smaller appropriation moved by Mr. Mercer, for internal improvement sur veys, laid on the table, under circumstances im plying that the decision was a final disposition of it for the present session. The Senate yesterday was occupied all day in Executive Business; The House of Repre sentatives, after debate, agreed to reconsider the vote laying the harbor bill on the table. Several private bills were acted upon. The House then took up the bill reported by the Committee of Ways and Means, regulating the deposite of the public moneys in the State Banks, and Mr. Polk opened the argument in favor of the bill. l To the House of Representatives of the U. States: I transmit to Congress an extract of a de spatch from Mr. Livingston, the Minister of the United States at Paris, dated the 7th ult., and the copy of a communication made to him by j Captain Ballard, commander of the Frigate United States, by which it appears, that in firing a national salute from that ship at Toulon, in honor of the birth-day of the King of the French, two men were killed, and four others wounded, on board the French Ship of War Suffrein. Suitable explanations were imine- j diately made to the French Admiral; and the officers and crew of the American Frigate, with that generosity which distinguishes their profession, promptly contributed, by a liberal j subscription, towards providing for the families of the unfortunate sufferers. I am sure, howe- 1 ver, that I should not do justice to the feelings of the American People, on this occasion, if I did not invite Congress to assume, on their part, this melancholy duty. I propose, therefore, that the same provision be made by law for these j French seamen, and their families, as would be made for American seamen killed or wounded in battle. This proceeding will shew the deep sensibili ty with which this disastrous accident is view ed by the United States, and their readiness to alleviate those consequences which cannot be remedied.

Scurvy. Foul and Ob stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyea, Scald Head, and Venereal Taint. In the last mentioned condition of the system, tne 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-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 witnessed 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 is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole class of such remedies.

WHOSE 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. I This is an elegant an J pleasant preparation in every respect, and has, for many years past, given universal satisfaction wherever it has been used. The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequen y enter the composition of tooth powoers in corn r use, and it whitens the enamel of the teeth without doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad mired powder, by purifying the.mouth Md 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 Us 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.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick-I town, Maryland. Richmond. Va- July 15, 1850. THE public vrillbe pleased to understand that 1 was the original discoverer of Judkins' Ointment, and sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the same* nut, having connect ed myself with Dp. Judkins in the commencement, I permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term j of the patent having expired on the 26th June, 1 have made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa tent thereon. N. shepherd. (£7* Imposition having been practised upon the pub- j. lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud. j 1 kins’ Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the authority granted to him in his tetters patent, now to call the Ointment after his own name* Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment* and had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I s«nt it to several physicians, with instructions m what cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the °'nt' 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 at tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the mi nal—and in this way its good effects would be obhtera ted. Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffled thesktL of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particulariythose hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes 1 terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains ofthe joints; 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or m whatever part situate; _ 7th Tetters of allkinds. In this complaintthe pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 8th Chilblains Or partsaffectea 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. V For inflamed women’s breasts and glandu.ar 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 hy the patient lr.ble to injury from exposure to cold. Thi» Ointment has cured 9ores of many years stand ing. Where it iu impossible or imprudent to heal the external rare, in consequence of the bones becoming carious m rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, incrri.se the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, ond ease the pain^. It cures the worst Feluds r.nd Whitlows, on applica tion uf fortv-c'urht hours*. CERTIFICATES. Prout the Hon. John Cache, Member of the House of Re. p/Cticntytivcb in Congress.

Deao bra—It iu nowepwards of twenty yi-ara tliul I have u.rcd your New London Dili)u Pills, in my fami ly, and always found tho;j an efficient purgative in ul moht. every description of disease, and onliove they sa* ved many a long doctor's hill by theii early and timely use. 1 never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and ofiects until a few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve ry instance of using them, I began t% conclude that you Lad 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 York newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WlUTTEN 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 l respact. Finding those l 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 mmy without this test, but none with it, until I 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 c experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my self in possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this information. 4 _.. q3* To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has i 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 owlt the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided. New London, Conn. Dec. 1823._____ H7GE lA NISM. 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:— Beuwic University, Dec. 25, 1833 To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hygeian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the State of Ithode Island. Sir—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a brief statement of t» cure, which, I think, I received from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the same the more cheerfully; because thereby, perhaps, I 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 explicitlysunier stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep tember, 1832, F caught 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 cough 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 tound 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. I spat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap An/1 nrlfhnl trAflf lirPClt JiCVlVW) A few weeks determined that I was in a decline I received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, who often seemed to check the progress of the dis ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery.

LOVli; Du. H. Snr.rHLutD Moat. Dear Sir—1 wish to .talc that my si-ter, after severe suffering, and employing a medicai man three yenra, was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines. Her complaint was a violent pain and sorene&9 in her aide; indeed, to her own expression, her oh on one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pain waa a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; o see vere, that she could net sit up for upward* of three year3. It was ccc-sioncd by over-being her9 If, and perhaps, over-exertion with it. After using a few, doses of No, l and 2, alternately, about eight pill* for c. dose, the pam decreased, and, by perseverance in iheiruse, aha in now restored to health; nnd 1 have no objection to this cabc being made public for the benefit of cdhas; and am, dear sir, youra truly, H.
