Richmond, September 15, 1834. Sir:—The undersigned have seen for some time past, with much pain, the studied misre presentations of your opinions upon the subject of the Bank of the United States, and your speech in reply to Mr. Webster. These misre presentations'of you gave us pain, because, knowing you, as we do, we knew and felt the rank injustice which was done you, not only as a public man, but as a gentleman, and because believed (as we still do) that the best inte rests of our State and the Confederacy, require your presence, at this time, in the Public Coun ci)s It is not now that Virginia can dispense with the services of one who, under all circumstances, has shown himself devoted to her and to her in terests—who will not testify his love of her ser vice by abandoning it upon the first invitation to serve another, and who will fearlessly, and ably, and honestly expose to view whatever it con cerns her interests to know. That yon should be assailed and misrepresented by the Adminis tration presses did not excite our surprise, how ever it might excite, as it has done, our disgust and indignation. We knew full well that you were not to expect, and would not receive, jus tice or fair play from them, and especially from that press, the leader among your defamers, which has so conspicuously shown its prefer ence of a party, and the service of power, to even its own long professed maxims of Consti tutional Government; nor did we expect or de *ire, that you should descend to a reply to these pensioned defamers, but admired the firmness with which you scorned them, though not una ware of the injury they might do you. We beg leave, respectfully, to suggest, however, that it has become your duty, not only to yourself, but to your country, to place your opinions in rela tion to the bank, correctly and distinctly before the people, since it appears by the recent publi cations of two gentlemen of high standing and respectability, that they have misconceived your true meaning in the enclosed passage of your speech in reply to Mr. Webster. At this misconception we confess we were surprised, because we thought vour meaning was plain; but we cannot doubt, from the character of these gentlemen, that it was an honest misconception, though one to which they were doubtless, in some degree, unconsciously influenced, by the reiterated misrepresentations of the press, which were uncontradicted. We beg leave, therefore, respectfully to ask, that you will favor us with your own exposition of the true meaning of that passage of your speech, which we have re ferred to, and of your future course towards the Bank of the United States. We design it, of course, for publication. With the highest respect, We are your friends, James Lyons, Robert G. Scott. (And others.) To a n. beign} t,sq. The following is the extract from Mr. Leigh’s Speech, referred to in the foregoing letter: But though the people of Virginia do enter tain the opinion, and have uniformly maintain ed it, and I think upon just grounds, that this Government has no constitutional authority to charter a National Bank, the developments of the present year, now in rapid progress, may serve to convince them, that the renewal of the charter of the present Bank, with such modifi cations and for such a term as experience has shown or shall dictate to be proper, may be the only means which human wisdom can devise, to avert or to correct measures, far more un constitutional, more abhorrent in principle from their opinions, and more dangerous and bane ful in their consequences. The alternatives but too likely to be presented to us are indeed aw ful.” Richmond, Sept. 22, 1834. Gentlemen:—Your letter of the 15th inst. was handed to me on the 20th. There is one reason, and only one, that makes me reluctant to give you an answer; which is, that an answer to your letter, may bring upon me inquiries with out end, as to my opinions on all the vexed questions of the day, and may be supposed to commit me to give public answers to all such inquiries. I have no opinion on any political subject, that I would wish to conceal; but I have an objection to giving such answers which is in superable; namely, want of time to do so—lite rally, want of time. I answer your letter, how ever,because, seeing the feeling of personal good will towards me that runs through it, to refuse an answer would have the appearance of un kindness. Yet I have not the least hope, in high party times tike these, of being able to find lan guage to convey my thoughts, which will not be liable to be misconstrued by many of my politi cal opponents, and by some wilfully misrepre cAnfed. In regard to the part I took in the debate in the Senate on the bank question, at the last ses sion, I remarked at the time, that the editors of i the ministerial newspapers (such of them, I mean, as had an opportunity of seeing,) Thought proper to give their readers their own represen- j tations of my speeches themselves, especially I the first of them, some publishing extracts of their own selection, and some postponing the publication, till their representations or their anonymous correspondents, had had time to make the first general impression. This course was not fair, and carried with it internal evi dence of conscious unfairness. But I thought I had a right to expect of my countrymen, that they would ascertain my meaning and inten tions from my own words; and then, if any should see cause to condemn me, I should ne ver complain. In my first speech on that occasion, after men tioning that the General Assembly of Virginia had, very shortly before it elected me to the Se nate, declared its opinion, that Congress had no constitutional authority to charter a nation al bank, without giving any express instruction to the Senators of the State in Congress—I said, in substance, that, under the circumstan ces, I should conform with that opinion, even if I entertained a different one; but that, in truth, I concurred in the opinion entirely and exactly; and I said, afterwards, that it was not constitu tional to recharter the present bank of the Uni ted States or any national bgnk. I do not quote my words, but I took pains to make them as explicit as possible. My Judgment, indeed, Is altogether opposed to that broad system of implication, by which the power to charter a national bank, and ma ny other powers, have been derived to the fede ral legislature, and recently to the federal legisla ture,and recently to the federal executive; which last has advanced and acted upon a doctrine of implied powers, far more latitudinous than was ever before heard of. In my opinion, the framers of the constitution, had no thought of any bank agency whatever, state or federal, either for facilitating the operations of the trea sury, or for regulating the currency; and that to administer the government, in the true spirit of the constitution, and according to the inten tion of its founders, the treasury ought to be di vorced from all connexion with banks, state or federal. At the same time, I have no expecta tion that this principle will ever be acted on to its full extent. The friends of the state banks, the friends of a national bank, and the support ers of the Executive claims to power, will all combine against it; and the nation, most proba bly, will never agree, that the immense sums yearly paid in for revenue, shall, between the time of collection and the time of disbursement, be wholly unemployed and unpioductive. AAer stating my opinion on the constitutional question, I proceeded to mention the alterna tives, which,1 honestly believed,the developments of the present year would offer for the conside ration of the neoule: alternatives, each and eve ry one of which (as any man who reads the speeeh must see) I eschewed above all things. I stated these alternatives, which I thought im pending,—for the purpose, chiefly, of drawing the attention of the public and especially of the people of Virginia to them, and of submitting the whole subject, in all its bearings, to their I timely and deliberate consideration,—and, part ly, for the purpose of eliciting the views and in tentions of other gentlemen, in the course of the full debate which 1 then anticipated. Wheth er my apprehensions were right or wrong, I should have thought, that no reasonable man could disapprove my revealing them. Is it pos I sible that any man can think, that supposing my apprehensions founded in mistake, they could have any eftectin producing the dreaded i alternatives? or, supposing me right, that want of faith in my forebodings could have any ef fect in preventing such alternatives from being presented? Or is it thought, that when I was sent to the Senate, I was not so much as to at tempt to exercise the sagacity of a Statesman? that I was not to look before me at all? or if I did, that l was to conceal the dangers which I I saw or feared, and bury my apprehensions in i my own breast? My idea of my duty was the i direct reverse; and however new that duty was i to me, and however unequal I felt myself to the performance of it, I should have been unfaithful I to my trust, if I had not endeavored to perform it. If my object had been to take care of my self, I should have kept silence. When I spoke of these alternatives, of course I did not mean that all, but only that some one of them would be presented; for they were in compatible with each other. i I am now deliberately of opinion that the question will ultimately be, between (not per haps, the present bank of the United States but) a national bank constituted as the present bank is, in all essential particulars,—and a national 1 bank varying in its constitution from the pre sent, only in placing the direction under the ab j solute control of the Executive. The develop ments of the present year, so far forth, have been exactly answerabie to my anticipations. Is there any one who has failed to remark the con earring uncontradicted statements in the pub j lie prints, that, in the Western elections, candi dates for Congress, without exception of par ties, the most devoted friends of the president, as well as his opponents, have been obliged to I avow themselves friendly to a national bank? Has it escaped notice, that the president has se lected for the high and cofidential office of Sec retary of State, a gentleman, who had, not long before, declared on the floor of the Senate, that, in his opinion, a national bank was constitution al and necessary, and his readiness to vote for such an institution, with some peculiar modifi cations indeed, which however, in nowise affect ed the constitutional question. I forbear to men tion other indications. Judging of the future by the past and the pre sent state of things, I still apprehend, that all that will be ultimately left for Virginia, will be a choice between evils of the same kind, varying only in degree. If it shall turn out otherwise, so much the better. I have only to add, for my own part, that, wile I continue a representative of the sovereignty of this State in the Senate of the United States, I shall never, even under a sense of the most imperious necessity, give my vote for any national bank, contrary to instructions, nor indeed without positive instructions, or, (what is in my opinion tantamount) the declared sense of my constituents. Those who distrust me on this subject, must distrust the State her self. I must give my vote, according to my judg ment, between different propositions on the same subject; that will be absolutely unavoidable. But 1 never will vote for any measure whatever, that will tend to increase the patronage, power and influence of the execut ve. This sentiment islhe key which will open to those who are candid the ruling, and indeed the only motives of all my conduct, since I have had a share in the nation al councils. As for the abuse which the ministerial presses are pouring in upon me, I have made up my mind to bear that, as long as my private charac ter is left unimpeached, as an evil incident to my situation, though that situation is not in any respect one of my own seeking. I am, gentlemen, with all respect, your obedi ent servant, B. W. LEIUH. To Messrs. James Lyons, f t r^M all their days, as a memento of then to disgrace.” J j It is added, to this toast,— Capt.

BROOK VILLE ACADEMY. rpiIE Trustees of this Institution, situated in A Brook ville, Montgomery County, Mary land, about 20 miles from Washington, and 28 from Baltimore and Frederick Cities, deem it proper to inform the public that they have en1 gaged Nathan C. Brooks, A. M. as Principal ol this Academy. Mr. Brooks is a gentleman o most unexceptionable character, of high standf ing as a scientific and classical scholar, and ol very considerable experience in the education of youth, having been very advantageously known for some years past as the Principal ol Franklin Academy nt Reisterstown; and the high reputation which that school attained un der him, is strong evidence of his qualifications for such a station. The central position and convenient distance of Brook ville Academy from the cities of Wash ington, Baltimore, and Frederick; its retired si tuation and location in a healthy, moral, and intelligent neighborhood, in which the retail of spiritous liquors is prohibited by an express act of the Legislature, and where there is, conse quently, less danger of the youthful mind beco ming contaminated by the frequent observa tion of vice and immorality; together with the high moral and scientific qualifications of Mr. Brooks, the Board of Trustees flatter themselves will give their Academy claims upon public pa tronage which are surpassed by none, and per haps equalled by very few, similar institutions in the State. Mr. Brooks will enter upon his duties in the Academy on the 8th September next, and will be assisted by three gentlemen well qualified to instruct the pupils in their respective depart ments. The terms for tuition in English, Mathema tics. and Ancient Languages, Board, Washing, Rent, and Fuel, 830 375 cents per quarter. The modern languages are $6 per quarter each. No money will be required in advance, for either board or tuition; but respectable references must be given to the President of the Board ol Trustees, on application for admission. For a more detailed statement of the course of studies, regulations, &c. of this Institution, the Board will refer the public to the accompa nying prospectus of the Institution. HENRY' HOWARD. M. D.

ROMAN would respectfully solicit an interview with all who are the subjects i ol HERNIA, (or Rupture.) The best Trusses j hitherto in use have oniy been used with a view of preventing an aggravation of the misfortune. Dr. R. proposes, by the application of Stagner’s newly invented Truss, to effect a rqdical cure in the space of from twro to four months. Those laboring under this affliction, and having any doubts of its application, are referred to the Physicians of Alexandria and Washington City, most of whom have examined the merits of the instrument. Dr. R. can be found at Newton’s Hotel, until the 30th instant, during which time calls, either in person or by letter, will meet with attention. The following notices of this improvement have appeared in the Washington papers: It is perhaps due to Messrs. Maxwell *fc Ro man to say, that they have exhibited to ustes timonials which leave no doubt on our minds of the ralue of the improvement advertised by them in the Truss—an article, we are sorry to learn, of much more extensive use and necessity than w’e had until lately supposed.”—Aat. Int. We Invite attention to an advertisement, in this day’s paper, of Messrs. Maxwell and Ro man. The improved Truss, which it is their ob ject to introduce into use, has the recommenda tion of some of the most eminent surgeons in the United States.”—Globe. Persons in the city afflicted with Hernia, or Rupture, w'ouid do well to call on Dr. Maxwell, whose advertisement is in our paper of to day. The Doctor has the most satisfactory evidence of radical cures having been made in an unpre cedented short time, by means of a newly in vented Truss. Cases which were considered impossible to be cured radically, have been cur ed in a space of time that surprises both physi cian and patient. Sonin of the first physicians of the country speak in the most favorable terms of the Truss used by the Doctor. We are told that it has not failed, in scarcely a single in stance, of producing a radical cure, where it has been applied, and carefully persisted in,” _sept 21—Gt_Telegraph "for SALK AND RENT. ijy I will sell the BRICK STORE HOUSE ■ij land LOT, in possession of George W.

TH L. MARTIN. HYGEIANISM. 1

T!IE 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 Univebsitt, 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 me, in compliance with your request, to give a brief statement of a cure, which, I think, 1 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. Mv complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition may be explicitly un ler stood, I state, in connexion with the relation ot the cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep tember, 1832, l caugbt a severe cold, which settled on my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week, with a fever, attended wiih considerable cough; my cough soon abated, and apparently, 1 was regaining mv health; when, after about three weeks, in the course of the night, having returned the evening be fore in usual health, I found myself ble- d ng 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 petite, and withal, very weak A few weeks determined that l was in a decline 1 received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, who often seemed to cherk the progress of the dis ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery, lint relapse upon relap'.e, and each bringing me lower than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill, and warn me of an approachWtg dissolution. Thus, months after the first attack, a tubercle” [small ul cer] broke in the lungs after which I spat blood, one day. 1 continued to decline tw o months longer, when I obtained the Hygeian Medicines 1 had now been unable to sit up a whole d y. for four months and a half. My feet were cold and lifele-s sleep unsound, cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi nute. food produced great distress, appetite very poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart, attended with some cough, he. he. Such was my condition, w hen I first became acquainted with the Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi cines, four pills at a dose, and increa>e I the dose dai ly, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten days, my appetite became good, and fo >d produced no distress, sleep soon beesme sound and refreshing, and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease had nearly all 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 I found myself restored to health. After I commenced the Hjgoian, I took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I .was able to resume tnv studi s in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the disease Hitherto I have been convalescent; and if my strength is not yet fully returned, l am certain I have less pains, and am more free from temporary sickness* than at any time since my earliest recollec tion. Yours, with respect, HORACE T. LOVE. On H. Siiei'IIeatid Moat. Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after severe suffering, and employing a medical man three years, was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines. Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her side; indeed, to use her own expression, her >s 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 lor upwards of three years. It was occasioned" by over-lacing hers If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. Aftet using a few, doses of No, 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pil's for a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in their use, she is now restored to health; and I have no objection to this case being made public for the benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly, H OYER. Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 18;14 Injustice to Or. M.. her medical adviser, when he In ara her improvement in health, he recommended perseverence in the use of he medicines. This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destine 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, atul of performing a cure, that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced hv the least trouble to the patients, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily s rength, and without the fear of catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustotm 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 by purging; and yet the weak, the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, beca ise they clear the body of its bad humours, ami invariably procure sound sleep They are the safest and most efficacious ineuicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy, costiveness, Stc, ’The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, ami facilitate the evacuation of bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst. One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout the day, mixed in half a wine glass of water. The genuine Medicines can be had of WM. POMEROY, Alexandria, Sole Agent for the District if Columbia and its vicinity.

Under th s impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of j yours in a New YoiK newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WHITTEN SIUN’A TURK to each bill of directions, 1 and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen an J ink, although a perfect copy in every other re;>p.>ct Finding tiiose I hail without this test, 1 be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as In politics, and called at several of our apothe caries fur your pills, with your written signature. I found mmy without tins test, but none wim it, until I came to the Ue-srs Keerls’, who assured me they iiaii them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using i them, found the same etiects from them I had always experienced, anil am so much rejoiced on finding my se1 fm ssposseum ot a medicine I so Highly prize, that that 1 cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this information. £j* To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has only to examine the bill of directions covering each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, and prepared by me; but if oatr the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.
