admiration in every part of tire country. Ap-

friends on the bright and glorious prospect he-

seemsto have been kintlled in every whig breast.

---The Van Buren presses have not quite ef-
‘ frontery enough in boldly claim the Speaker
of the House of Representatives as one of their
kidney, but by shifts and twists. and labored in-
ferences endeavor to show that he is not a W’hig.
\Vell, gentlemen, you may amuse yourselves
with the shadow, while the substance is ours.
I Mr. Hunter was elected from his own state as a
wliig—he supported the claims of New Jersey
' throughout the controversy—he received the
entire \Vhig vote for ‘speaker, antl was opposed
by the Van Buren mc.n—-he declares ltiuzself
favorable to the election of Gen. Harrison, and
voted for the \Vhig candidate for Clerk. The
language or his inaugural address shows how
far he embraces that prominent doctrine of
_the administration which smothers investigation,
and permits corruption to slumber in peace.

\The composition of the standing conimiuees
will show, too, how for Mr. Hunter goes with
the party that voted against him, and who are

of this number 23 have opposition chairmen.
' The opposition have also mjorities on 19 corn-
mittees and the administration on 14. Has the
practice ofthe administration harmonized with
the precept of Mr. Hunter, expressed in tltc
following paragraph’!

Let any honest working man. a friend though
he be of Martin Van Buren, divest himself of
all prejudice and party bias. read the following
‘ «article from the Newark Daily Advertiser. in
reference to the lamentable condition of the
-country, and tb_cn consider seriously ifthere be
not some connection between this state of things
and the powers that be—those who direct the
affairs of the nation. And if he find thetn in
"I 1- any measure chargable to the policy of the
, _ _ administration. let him ask himself how far he
‘.7’ - is justifiable in giving his support to a set of
’ men who are perpetuating the difficulties that
now exist.
A thousand fires have been extinguished,
and a peaceful army of 5000 workmen dis-
banded in the factories of Pittsburg. This is
one of the consequences of that fatal blow
t_vhich first shattered the currency of the
country From that hour to this the nation
has been reeling under its effects, but never
with so much suffering as at the present mo-
ment. And we now present this strange a-
nomaly, that in the midst of general health,
propitious seasons and abounding harvests.
- the wail of distress is heard on all sides of
, us. Turn which way you will, melancholy
evidences meet the eye of individual and pub-
nlic embarrassment. No class, no circle, no
‘institution high or low, near or remote, is
exempt, save alone the money changers and
the pcnsioners‘on the public bounty. But
.. no where has the blow fallen with such crush-
inginfluence as upon the toiling poor. If it
has sent stagnation into the marts of coin-
merce, and caused retrenchment in the fami-
lies of opulence. it has utterly blasted the
hopes of the working-man, whose once cheer-
ftil fireside, blessed with the ample fruits of
honest industry, enjoyed in the conscious in-
dependence of freemen. is now the abode of ir-
I retrievable sadness and want; more wretched
than the furnishing victims of European op-
pression, who never knew the blessings of in-
dependence.

But while on this subject, allow me to say a
word in l'f'ft.‘l'Cllc:'+ to a Public Library. In the
town of Danbury, there "is a public library, con-

will speak. That is "An Ante Ilortem Epitaphl’

feeling towards this literary coxcomb. Its sar-
casm is as just as it is humorous. Indigiration
is too noble a feeling to throw away on this piti-
ful pimp. whose maw is too delicate and refine d-
for the vulgar land that had the misfortune to
give him birth. \Ve regret to see the New York

Mr. Editor--At this age of the world, when
the necessity of general information and a good
education is so obvious to every reflecting mind,
and when every laudable measure is so grecdily
adopted, to secure this most desirable object,
perhaps I shall be pardoned for calling your at-
tention, and through the agency of your paper,
the attention of the public, for a few mornertts,
to the subject of Lyceums.
It is to me it matter of sincere pleasure, that
these institutions, which promise so much good,
are exciting so much interest throughout our
entire country—and that feeling of pleasure is
greatly enhanced, from a. consideration of the
fact, that the press—that. most. eflicienl: agent—
is becoming enlisted in behalf of these institu-
tions. And hence, almost every paper or peri-'
odical that comes within our reach, is calling
the attention of the public to this subject. It
needs only a. bird's eye glance to satisfy every
reflecting mind, that the advantages it may sc-
cure, are by no means inconstdei-able. Con-
nected with-many of these institutions, are re-
spectable libraries for its members. wltlcll as a
means of diffusing information and cultivatinga
taste for intellectual pleasures, is an item not to
be forgotten.
In addition to a library, many of thetn have 8.
museum,oi-conttiin a cabinet that would furnish
it. rich treat to any literary or scientific man._—
But another circumstance that. increases the in
terest of the whole is, the institution of ti course
of scientific lectures on a. variety of subjects.
calculated to instruct. and interest every member
of community". It. is it. well known fact, that

DR. TROOPS PILLS.
IIOEVER adv-.trtc=-s a new theory. of
makes an important discovery in Medi-
cine, arts or science, must. Px;:t'cl. much oppo-
sition, and esp--cl tlly ifthat tlioory or discovery
is likely to expose the igrrorancc or imposition
of any class of mun. pr.tct.icetl upon the credit-
lily of mankind. In off-ring this ntfw iloctriue
and these pills to the! ptrblic, I appeal to their
intelligence, not to tit: ir pl't'_jtl‘“""'*“v but to tltuir
common sense. My doctrine brings the science
of Medicine ottt if tlarltucss and mystery. into
day-Iigh‘.—into this open day light oftlre» world‘;
and every man may judge for ltittts.t:-lft,t'tlrr- truth
of my theory. if the: evidence I produce. is fit I,
ample. suflicient, then you ought to boil veil; if
it is not, you are in ditty bound. out of respect
to yourself, to rt-j ct it. Itnpositiori, ltatrtbirg
and quackery are no part of my system. Iltoltl
this truth self-evident, that no man is enlillctl to
the mune of man who will \i':mto::'sy irapr.~..‘.e
upon his fellow creatrtres.
That 1);, Tmop has mat c an important dis-
covery in the science of tnedicimc and '¢hep!tys~
iology of the human systcrn. ofrn vre itriptrrtartcc
to the well-beingatrd health of the great lt.'.tman
fitmily,tli:ttt all that has lterctofoze: lmenlcirowii,
cannot be doubted by the mo.-*. sce._nt.ic:rl.
1 shall now proceed lt).'~‘l.'tlt3Itt wlmtmytlreory
nd itnportarrt. discovery consists. and I fltttcr
myselftliat I shall be: able to tmlic it clear that
this new doctrine is It'll", the theory hasctl on
plrysiologicul principles. and in perfect ac-cord
once with nttttrrtz’.- lztws. Before, liowt-veer. doing
this, I wish to txplairt one word which 1 shall
have occasion to inztlic fteqtrtznt use of v§z.:
Secretion.
By sot.'rotion, I mean that part of
the auitual economy which S|‘[lLLl':IIl'.‘S llr: lltiitls
of the hotly, as for e.\':trnple—tlre bile or gtlll is
a. fluid, and is a Secretion ttfthc Liver.
Now the doctrine I ltold,and atn able to defend
its the only true one, is this—-that all diseases
have their origin in it supprnstsrd. imperfect, or
tle_i:ravetl secretion of V3ll0ll,S organs, for extrin-
ple—zi person from exposure to cold, or arty
other cause, lt-ts the secretion of the skin, or
perspirtttion, which is the :-mitt: thing. chet,-lied.
does it not prudttce l"cv::r pains in the head,
limbs, &.c. Now tftltis natttrttl secretion or
perspiration is restorctl, tloes it. not give imme-
diate relief to the p.tt.'tenIl Every body answers
yes. Again, take for irist-.\.nt:e—'a case of Chol-
era, do we not litrd or total &'.‘Sl':llC€ of bile in
what passes the bowels and in widmt is t-liitowu
up’! The moment the liver can be made t.o se-
cretebile and it passes‘in‘llo the stomach and bow-
els, the vomiting and purging ceases, and the
patient is safe. 'I.'.tk.e a case of Yellow Fever,
is not the black votnit atlepruvetl secretion‘! and
unless that secretion is ClleCl{t.'(l and changed, the
patient dies within a few hours; but ifthe secre-
tion is changed to a. healthy one, It recovery is
certain.
What do we observe in Crnop? Is there not
a formation of a mernbrttne in the wind pipe,
produced by an utinatural secretion. which
tlrr-catens the little suflbrer with instant death,
unless this secretion and‘ fortn;rti0.:t be imtue-
diately checketl! Most cerzaittly.
Take a on to of fever. what do we observe"!
do we not find the skin dry antl hot, also the
palms of the hands and so.'es of the feet! Most.
costainly. The fever is not the came of this
heat, but because the S00-l‘=:llO!l of the skin is
checked,t.he fever is the cotist-tptcrice. ;\'obotly
ever knew the skin to be hot when it was moist,
or when the secretion was perfect. ltr fcvr.-r.we
find the mouth and tongue dry, and great thir.-.t.
VVlr‘1tis the cause ofthis"! At_-coming to my
theory, Isay that the small glands in the tnouzh
and throatdo not perform theirnatttral sec ration,
and that is the reason of so much thirst and
dryness of the motrtb. In fever, there is often
constipation, and the passages are l)luCl{,g£‘t‘8tl,
or otherwise ; does this not .-how th.-rt.tlie stere-
tion of the liver and other organs is imperfect
or deficent. My pills wil. retrieve the heat of
the skin, by opening its secretion. They will
remove the thirst and dryness of the month by
restoring the secretion of the glands, and in tzre
same manner all the other functions.
VVe think the csseswe have taken to illus'rate
this doctrine, fully prove it true. We might go
on with every disease in the whole catalogue of
human infirmities, and the proofofour doctrine
would be equally clear. but we think it unneces-
sary to do so, especially its ottr limits are con-
fined to a small wrapper round the box.
Dr. 'I‘roop being convinced by the most pro-
found researcb, study and experience, that, all
diseases have their origin in it i-:uppressetl,_or
depraved secretion, theuext thing was to dis-
cover a. combination of remcdittl agents that
would act upon any one, or all of the secretions.
and restore the various organs to their ltcalthy
action. ~
Believing the doctrine or theory illustrated
above, to be the doctrine of l‘l.'lltlt't:, and in the
most perfect harmony with ntiturt.-’s laws,It'elt
confident that the Great Giver of all good had
created the necessary remedies, but whether I
was to be the humble instrument to discover
tltern, I kttew not. I was resolved to make use
of the reason God had given me to accomplish
this great object. That I have succeeded, there
is not the least doubt. and the Pills I now offer
to this intelligent coinrnunity. POSECSS llltrlflfic
merit, and have the strange st claims ttpon your
confidence, because they are founded upon true
principles and it correct knowledge ofthe cause
of disease.
Dr. 'I‘roop’s Pills cure diseases by regulating
the secretions and promotinge healthy action at
the same time, in every part of the human sys-
tem. Thcv are mild but ell‘:-.ctu.rl in their ope-
ration, and may be taken at all times, and under
all circumstances. and at all ages. If taken in
health, they keep us healthy; and iftalien when
sick, they restore us to health ; this is l.l1=.'ir na-
ture, their action, and operation.

sigtraturc of tlic propritor.

: Those who have perused the letters above re‘-r

they attest the fact, that no inconvenience ofauy -'
sot! attends the taking. of t.-lr.ese~rr.ediciues, in or- -

in two or three da s.
In cases of Fever of every tlescription, and all
