exertions will undoubtedly be made by both
parties tosecurc the aid of tltc doubtful ones.
whose course in reference to the choice of the
officers of the House will’ be determined very
' nearly by the sclclction of caoditlntes. The
members from Georgia and South Carolina as
well as a portion of tlie.V-irgitiia delegation. are
looked upon ‘as‘utir:e‘rtaiii', btit the latter‘ it
llloljglll will incline totiliic oppositior_i. There
is also a member from lttinois, whose politic-til
prcdilections cannot be calculated tipon with
any degree of cor‘re‘ctncss. Although he is ad-
mitii‘stt=ation.lie is anti subtrcasury. The ac-
coni'ino'tl:'uioti of candidates lnilllc preferences of
tliisclaiss of lTltll\'l(lU&tlS—,‘ will recttivetlic atten-
tion of both parties. The names of some half
dor.éii individuals have been successiyerly incu-
tioned in- connection wi:h the office of'Speaker,
by "the adtiiinistration party, but all have been
withdrawn. ll" was finally thought that Mr.
Elmore of S. Carolina would be the nominee
" fiat‘ the ‘chair; but alas. for consistencyin these
degenerate days-—lie has resigned his seat, and
accepted the presidency ofa batik. In this state
of the case, it seems that Mr. Pickens. also of
S. C.‘ who is aniri_ctirrigible nullifier, is looked
X’ upon as the probable candidate. He is said to
“possess in a large degree satire of the prominent
features of southern cliaracter-—too fearless and
independent to submit tamely to party dictation.
lt is not fully understootl, who the opposition
will bring forward, though there is mtich reason
to expect that it will be one oftwo individuals,
viz. Hon. John Bell, of the Nashville district,
Tenn. or Hon. “T. C. Dawson of Georgia.
The first, whose name has been so often associ-
ated with the spealtersliip, would probably.
were it not. for some by-the-way considerations,
be the decided favorite of the \Vhigs—but
though all tliirigsfare. possible. all things are not

expedient. tlterefore. soiiicwhat uncer-
|atter gr-ntlertiian is the candidate. he will proba-
‘ lily coiiimatid some support that would not be
so likely to follow his otherwise more prominent
compo.-er. \Ve sincerely hope that the VVbi;z
mettibt-rs will all feel the importance of secur-
ing in speaker of the right stamp, and be at their
posts in season to put their sliottlders to the
wheel. The spcakersliip is ofgreat importance.
for-by it is decided the cliaracztt.-r oftlic C()lnlllll.-
tees. and the evil of packed and auti-iiivestiga-
ting CQflllltlllet'S has been seen and felt too pluin
ply to need any farzfter proof of the importance
of placing this office in "proper hands.
The admirtistratiun party it is expected, will
use every effort to deter the Ne at Jersey delega-
tion from voting for speaker. Riot and disorder
have been tlircatent.-d already. Mnlngersollof
Philadelphia. it is stated, is prctiaretl to test his
claim by casting his vote for speaker.

the effect of the scheme would be to bring the
;. ublic treasury much nearer the actual custody
and control of the President, and expose it to be
plundered by it hundred hands, where one under
the late system could not reach it. In such an
event we should feel that the people had just
cause for alarm. and ought to give their most
watchful attention to such an efi‘ort to enlarge
executive power,and put in its hands the means
of corruption.
This tvas the precise language used by the
Globe when the sub-treasury was first pro-
posed by Gen. Gordon. “ Let’s lay that up-
on the table too.” exclaimed Mr. Yoakum
tvith a blank look. There was no other
con rsc to be taken, and so hiding their faces
in their handkcrchiefs, they gave the same
destination to the Globe’s words, that they
had prevously given to 'Polk’s and J_acksori’s.

NEVV-HAVEN ELECTION.
“Sober second f/tou»g/its.”---Tlie city of
New-llavcti held its election on Monday last-
Thc “ Striped Pig" influence was not felt
here, and the result was rather di=asti'ous
for the cause of Loco-Focoism. From the
preparation of both parties for this contest,
the zeal with tvliich the bottle was fought,
the decisive and signal victory achieved,
gives t’; this election some itnportance; for
it points with a good degree of certainty to
future and more important interests, not of a
town or city, but of the country. The num-
,ber of votes polled was l5l0,j out of which
the Whigs had a majority of 362. At the
gubernatorial election last April. tll€i"Wl1l8'
majority was 293. Gain, 69._
DANnuRi'.--Tlie election for ‘town offi-
cers took place in Danbury on the l8th inst,
and contrary to all expectation, _t_he{ Whigs
elected four select-men," their candidate for
Treasurer, and 3 Grand Jurors. The_Mode-
rator declared that Messrs Judd and Pearce.
on the \Vhig Constable ticltettvere also elect-
ed, but exceptions being taken to this decision,
the meeting was adjourned to Monday,’ the
27th instant.
Partial returns have been received from
the Mississippi election-, but so meagre and
uncertain are they, thatit is impossible to
form any correct conclusions. The whigs
claim sortie success in some of the river
towns btit it is not thought. expedient to bring
out the big gun yet.
Complete returns have beeE_i:3ceivcd from
the old Bay State, which give Morton a ma-
jority 'of 245. The scattering votes will
probably defeat -the election, it’ will then go
to the h_pus_‘e, which as far as heard from
stands, ‘.234 whigs—215, admr.

I
[ltllt-By possess, real or imaginary, to keep up-
their spirits for the election in April next.
The following (’..‘\‘tl'£tCt from the address of
the editor oftlie Sentinel, reminds me of an
old cotiplct:
“ And every time he scratched his head,
Ont came a C/Lollg/ll or qtuzclrupcd.“”
“lVe can no longer look on in Sll("ttC€,
while the reckless and desperate cflbrts of
the opposition may dash into ruin the noble
fabric of Democratic Liberty, which was in-
stituted at the expense of OUR Revolutiona-
ry fzitlicrs, whose blood frcely paid the cost-
VVe can no longer suppress the feelings Oft,lG-
mocracy ['.l] which, with the love of country,
has prompted us to doffthc veil of our edito-
ii if movement_s—tlic feelings which were iti-
stillccl in our youth, and which we have iro-
bibed ever since we were able to distinguish
right from wrong.”
It is obvious from the above extract, that
the Sentinel roan fancied himself in the land
of hills and oat-meal, and wasthinkirig ofthe
achievmcnts of the Scottish Chiefs in days of
yore. .
After another burst of nonsense, in the
puragrapli which follows the one I have giv-
cn above, the editor says: "the Sub-Treasu-
ry sclicmc is in strict accordance with the
Constitution ofthe United States, and in our
opinion, it is the best method of preserving
the people’s money.” No doubt Stvarttvout
and Price, and the host of kindred spirits,
tvoul;l.say, ‘Mc;‘t'li'llau, thou reasonest well !’
The Su_b-Treasury scheme has indeed “ pre-
scrved” the people.-’s money, with a venge-
once.

ARD.—-TO TH E ,.l’UBL_lC. -—-»The
amount ofbotlily and mental misery arising
from a neglect of small complaints is iticalcula
ble, and it is tlie-rcfore of the otniost irriportancc
that a strict attention to the least and most
trifling bodily infirniities should be bad ; for the
diseases of the body itivariably affect the mind.
LVlotf'z1t's Vegetable Life Medicines. is in every
tinstance where they have been thoroughly used,
have triuiiiphctl over disease in almost all its di-
versified forms. The salutary effects of the
Life Medicines have, in fact, been so universal-
ly experienced, that in the short space of three
years, they have become fully establisliec’ as the
most easy. safe and perfect mode of treatment
ever oflerezl to the public.
It is unnecessary, here, for Mr. Moffat to re-
capitulatc all the reasons which have indticcd
him to arrive at this conclusion. It is sufficicrit
for him to say, that the disinterested testimony
. of his fellow citizens who have been induced to
use the Life Met iciiics, will freely he olfcretl to
any one who may feel disposed to call at his
Office, 367, Brontltvay. He has there on file
several thousand letters, voluntarily profferetl by
his patients, the receipt and perusal of which i
has given’ him more pleasure than all the
wealth ofthe East could confer.
The reader may not perhaps be aware that
the origin of t\l.iff'at’s Life Medicines was the
result of a protracted and painful illness oftheir
originator, Mr. John Moffat. \Vt:en taken ill,
Mr. M. was a prosperous and flourishing nicr
chant it: the lower part oftlic citv: and having
corisnltcd and employed a number ofour most
skilful physicians; be. after months of suffering.
was prevailed upon to purchase the recipe for
the invaluable vegetable preparation which he
now riders to the public.
The effect of the Life Mt-dicincs in his own
case \\ as unparalleled in the history of Medical
experience ; and he immetliately determined to
offer to the world a Medicirie to which he not
only owed his life, but his happiness. The uni
form success which has since attended their ad-
ministration in every instance where a fair
trial has been given them, has been attested by
thousands and incoutestibly proves her intrinsic
merit.
The Life Medicines can be taken with safety
by persons of any age; and the feeble. the in-
firm, the nervous and the delicate, are strength
coed by their operation, because by their
prompt and proper action upon the secretions of
the system. and their EtSSll'llll2lll')l‘l with and
purih‘cation of the blob l. they clear the system
of all bad Iiuriiors. quiet of nervous irritability,
and invariably produce sound health.

Medicines. the reatler is referred to the good Sa-

_ . PILLS AND PHENJX BITTERS.
The universal estimation in which the celebrat-
ed Lt:/'e Pills and Plzetnir Bitters are held. is
satisfactorily demonstrated by the increasing de-
mand for them in every state and section of mi;
Union» and by the voluntary testimonials to their
remarkable efficacy which are every where offer-.
ed. It is not less frotu a deeply gratifying corr-
fidence that they are the menus ofextensive and
inc-stitriable good among his afflicted fellow Cret-
tures, than from interested consitlerations. that
the proprietor of these nreeminently successful
tTl_€(llCllleS is desirous ofkeepiog them constantly
before the public eye. The sale of every addi-
tional box and bottle is a guarantee that some
persons will be relieved fro-iii a greater or less
L egree ofsuffering, and be improved in general
health ;- for iii no case of sufleritig from disease
cangtliey be tiikcn in vain. The proprietor has
never known or heeri informed of an instance in
which they have failed to do good. In the most
obstinatecascs ofclironic disease. such as chronic
dyspepsia. torpid liver, rlieutri:-itism, asthma.
nervous and bilious ltearlachc, costivencss, piles,
general debility, scr0f_'u!ous swelliogs and ulcers.
scurvy. salt rhcum and all chronic affections of
the organs and oiembraoes, they affect cures
with a rapidity and permanency it loch few per-
sons would theoretically believe. but in which
tliousands have testified from happy experictice.
[n colds and coughs, which. ifiicglccted. super-
iodtice the tiiost fatal diseases of the lungs, and
indeed the \‘l(.'Bfa in geriernl, these medicines, if
taken but for three or four days, never fail.-
Taken at night. they so promote the lnsenslble
perspiraliO0a and so relir—'.'e the §:\.‘?lHnl of febrile
action and feculcnt oltstrtictiotis. as to prntlttct-i a
most dclightftil -tr-ti.-c of convalescent-e in the
morning and flit’/‘Ugll the usual symptoms ofa
cold should prirtially return during the day. tlm
repetition ofa suitable dose at the next hour of
bed time will almost invariably cllecl perma-
nent relief. without further aid. Tlieir effect
upon fevers of ti tnore acute and violent kind is.
not less sure and speedy if taken in proportiona-
ble quantity; and persons rt-!.':ittg to bed with
inflariitrtatory symptoms of the most alarming
kin-'l, will av.-akc with the gratifying conscious-
oess that the fierce enemy has been ovettlirowti,.
nntl can easily be subdued. In the same it ziy,
visceral fu r,-zeseuce, though long establislisd. and
visceral inflammations. however critical, wilL
yield—the fornierto small and the latter to large-
doses of the Life Pills; and so also hysterical
affections, hypocondriocisni. restlessness, and
very many other varit-tics oftlie Ncurotical class
of diseases, yield to the efficacy of the Phenix
Bitters. Full (llf!3t'llt)llS for the use of these-
metlicipes. and showing their distinctive appli-
cability to different complaints, acconipziny
