VI‘ HE article here elllllllf‘l'al€(I must not be considered as adding one more number to the already extensive catalogue ofadvertis- ed Medicines ; it is in fact an important im- provement only» in a well known composition. The Einbrocation contains 3 of the most valuable articles to be met with in the whole circle of Medicine, never before employed in any other Opodeldoc, in addition to the other ingredient usually made use ofin the hardkind and will be fotind of3 times its strength and effect. The money will be cheerfully refund ed to those who, after having used one bottle, may think differently. The Hon. Samuel L. Mitchell, M. D. LL. D. one ofthe first ‘Medical Professors in the state of New-York, has iveii a certificate in its favour—-such authoritgy you will notdispute. Certificates also from several respectable citizens are annexed to the directions, who have received the greatest benefit from the ‘Improved Liquid Opodeldoc,’ when they had , previously used the hard kind to no purpose. This article is asserted to be a sovereign remedy in Bruises, Sprains, Gotit, Rheuiiia- tism, cramp,numbness, stiffness ofthe neck or joints,slight burns, fresh wounds,chilblains,8I.c. ‘For the use of horses and cattle in these cases, it may be considered as inestiinable.’ ‘ As the whole family ofniankiiid are liable to these casualties, no prudent person should be without a bottle ofit in their house.’ It is prepared by J. P. Pf’/iitwell, whose name is impressed on each bottle, without which it is not genuine. N. B. In cas- es ofacute Goutand Rheumatisni,a tea spoon- ful on going to bed, taken inwardly, in a wine glass ofcold water, has in conjunction with the external application of it, performed some most extraordinary cures. AROMATIC SNUFF. Also may be had, that valuable and popular article, AROMATIC SNUFF, recommended by Doctor ‘Waterhouse, which Snuff is so cele- brated throughoutthe American continent, in cases oficatarrli and liead-ache, and which possesses that desirable property of sensibly stimulating the spirits without subsequent de- pression."

N0. 47. N EVV-YORK LEGISLATURE., In the Senate, on Wednesday the 7th the several standing committees were appointed. On Thursday, the 8th, a petition from the Cliathani Fire Iusiirance'Company, for power to execute trusts_,&t.c. was referred to the com- uiitiee on banks and insurance companies. Mr. Bowne, from the committee to whom was referred that part of_ the governor’s mes- sage relative to the preamble and resolutions ofthe state of 'I‘eiiiiessee made a lengthy re- port on that subject, disagreeing with the said preamble atid resolutions, and concluding with the following resolutions, which were or- dered to be primed. . Resolved, by the senate and assembly ofthe state .of‘New-York, That it is inexpedient for the legislature of this state to instruct the sen- ators, or to request the representatives ofthis state, in congress, to use their exertions to prevent a iioinination from being made, dur- ing the present session ofcongress,bythe mem- bers thereof, of persons to fill the ofiices of president and vice president ofthe U. States. Resolved,Tliat while the senate and assem- bly of the state of New-York do not deem it proper, in their legislative capacity, to recom- mend it to the senators and representatives of this state, to assist in the nomination of can- didates for those offices, they are yet free to declare, that the practice which has from time to time been adopted, of nominating such can- didates, by ameeting ofthe republican inem- bers of congress assembled at Washington, is in their opinion, not only consistent with the spirit of the constitution, but is at this time peculiarly desirable, as the best mode of as- certaining the wishes and harmonizing the views of the people, and of attaining, in the result, the will ofthe majority. Resolved, That his excellency the governor be requested to transmit a copy of the se reso- lutions to the executive ofthe state of Tenn." House qfflssembty, Jan. 8.—On motion of Mr.Warren, the bill introduced by Mr.Whea- ton,was referred to the committee ofthe whole; and the committee on motion of the former gentleman was inimedialely discharged, and the whole subject referred to the select com- mittee of nine. The committee consists of the following members: Messrs. Flagg,Whea- ton, Brown, Bellinger, Ells, Bowker, Mullet, ‘ I. French, and Van Alstyne. . Mr. Wheaton’s bill for the choice of Elect- ors by general ticket, consists of 16 sections, and is chiefly taken up with details as to the regulation ofthe election, &z.c. -'l‘he annexed extracts give all its material. provisions. Be it enacted, &.c. That whenever an elec- tion ofa President and Vice President ofthe United States shall become necessary, at the ordinary period, an election shall be held on the 1st Monday of November, in the present. year, and on the same-day ofevery 4th year hereafter, for the purpose of choosing electors ofPresident and Vice President of the U. S.; and the said election shall be by ballot,and be continued, by adjournment, from day to day, for three successive days, including the first. Be it further enacted, That every citizen entitled to vote for all officers that may be e- lective by the people, shall have a right to vote at such elections of electors: and that every such election shall be conducted in all respects according to the provisions of the act ofthe legislature ofthis state passed April 17, 1822, entitled‘ An act regulating elections,’ except as may be herein otherwise provided for. Be it .further enacted, That every citizen, who shall be so entitled to vote at such elec- tion for electors of President, 8Lc. shall open- ly deliver his ballot, for such electors, to one ofthe inspectors, who shall receive the same in the presence ofthe other inspectors; which ballot shall be a paper ticket, containing the name or natnes ofa number of persons equal to the wholenumber of senators and repre- sentatives to which this state may be entitled in Congress, or so many of them as such citi- zen shall think proper to vote for, severally written or printed on the same paper ticket ; which shall be so folded as to conceal the contents thereof; and on the receipt of every ballot or ticket, for electors,the inspector shall cause the name ofthe citizen so voting, to be written on the books or poll lists, for such e- lectors ; and shall cause the ballots, 'with’out suffering the same to be inspected, to be ptit into a box, to be provided for the purpose,with a sufficient lock thereto ; which shall be lock- ed, kept and disposed of, according to the pro- visions of said last mentioned act. Several petitions were received from the mayor, aldermen, and coniinonalty ofN.York, praying an alteration in several acts therein mentioned, relating to that city. Mr.Pell, gave notice, that he would on some future day, ask leave to bring in a bill to in- corporate Banks and Insuraiice Companies, by autliority ofa general act. Mr.VVhoaton reported a bill to alter the name ofthe Episcopal Church in Anti st. N.York. The seat of Tlioinas Bay, a member from Columbia county, was vacated ;andWalterC. Livingston, was admitted thereto. Mr. Edwards offered a resolution appoint- ing a committee of eight, one from each se- nate district, to inquire into the propriety of regulating the salaries of the different state and cotinty officers, and the officers of this house——wliich was adopted. Friday, Jan. 9.—A prop.-isition was made for an additional rule of the house, providing that all committees be appoiined by the speak- er unless otherwise ordered, which was laid on the table. Also, a further rule that each pe- tition be endorsed with the name ofthe mem- ber presenting it, which was adopted. The Speaker then announced the standing com- mittees, and committees on various parts of the Governor’s message. Petitions were presented for a new Bank in Albany, called the Commercial Bank ; and another in Rochester ; capital $500,000 each. Mr. l/Vheaton offered a resolution, instruct- ing our Senators and Representatives in C0!!- gress to use their exertions to procure the pas- sage of a general Bankrupt Law.—-Mr.Tall- madge said at a future day he should introduce a bill for abolishing imprisonmnl for debt. \
