The ierfei tly safe, un erring, auJ successful treatment of almost every specif s of disease by the use of MOFFAT'S LIFE MEDICINES, is iw longer a matter of d iul.it, as a reference to the experience of many thousand pa tients wiil satisfactorily prove. Daring the present month alons. nearly one hundred cases have come to the knowledge of Mr.Moir.it, where the patient has, to ail appearance, effected a permanent cure by the exclusive and judicious tuse of the Life Medi cines some eight or ten of these had been con sidered beyond all hope by their medical attendants. Such happy results arc a source of great pleasure to Mr. M. aiid inspire him with new confidence to rceonvneud the use of his medicines t j his fellow citizens. The LIFE MEDICLNES are a purely VEG ETABLE preparation. They are miid and pleas ant in their operation, and at the same time thor ouih acting rapidiyupon the secretions of the system carrying oil" all acrimonious humors, nd assir.iilating with end purifying the blood. For this reason, in aggravated cases ot Dyspepsia, the Life Medicines will give relief in a shorter space of time than any other prescription. In Fcver-and-Ague, Inflammatory Kheumatism, Fevers of every description, Sick Headache, Heart burn, Dizziness in the Head, Fains in the Chest, Flatulency, im paired appetite, and in every disease aridng fron tin impurity of the blood, or a disordered state of the stomach, the use of these Medicines has always proved to be beyond doubt greatly superior to any other mode of treatment. All that Mr. Moffat asks of his patients is to be particular in taking them strictly according to the directions. It :s not by a newspaper notice, or by any thing that he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the re sults of a fair trial. Is tho reader art invalid, and does he wish to know whether the Life Medicines will suit his own case? If so. let him call or send to Mr. Moffat's agent in this place, and procure a copy of the Medical Manual, designed as a Do mestic Guide to Health, published gratuitously.

NEW TERMS O F THE fSIE Pioprietors of the Lincc Republican Press, finding it impossible to -.untinue long the present system of credit have determined to sme proposals under which that paper will be con ducted after the close of the present Volume. And with the view of re11de.-ir.5r its circulation as wide as possible, they offer it to the public 011 the followi ng term-, viz: At Two Dollars a year, payable in advance. The names of t!i2 nresent t-.;;.or.5, wi!l, con sequently, at the expiration of the present Volume be stricken from the list, unles3 the advume fay. ment for the ensuing year be made before the first number is issued. The Proprietors deem it unnecessary to offer an) argu r.er.ts to show tha necessity of keeping the Republican in operation. It is the most Western pa per in the State devoted to the cause cf Rcpub lican principles, while there are two other Presses of opposite politics still to the West cf Lh;coh ten And it must be apparent to every one, that the Democratic population of Lincoln and the sur rounding Counties, require a:i organ through which their doctrine and sentiments may be advo cated. Ths Proprietors have no pecuniary interest hi view they seek no gain for themselves, but have been induced to make these proposals solely bv the desire to render the Press more efficient in the cause in which it is engaged. Those persons to whom a Prospectus is sent are requested to return it to the office by the first day of J jne next. And immediately after the receipt of the first number they will transmit the amount of money arising from the subscriptions they have received. Shauld the number of names thus returned, be sufficient to wan ant the Proprietors in commencing another Volume, the subscribers may expect the first IV o. within a few weeks after the termination if the present Volume.

RESULT OF THE GREAT RACE THE SOUTH AGAINST THE NORTHTHE NORTH VICTORIOUS ! The long-talked-of contest between the Southern hone Hoston and Northern mare Fashion, came ofl" yesterday alone o'clock; 3nd by fleet express hor.-es, engaged for the purpose, we were enabled to give the public the full result, in an extra, in the short space of thirty minutes after the race had terminated. This race it will be rememberp;L wus produced by a chaiipns given by Col. W. R. Johnson, the "Napoleon of the Turf," and James Lonfir, the owners of Boston, last fall, after Fashion had distanced him on the Camden course. The cbadenge was accepted by the friends of Fashion, who is owned by William Gibbons, of Madison, Morris county. New Jersey, (where she was bred,) on the 30:h of No vember. and 5 000 forfeit deposited in the hands of J. Prescott Hall, esq., president of the New York jockey club. The whole purse ($20,000 aside New York money) was put up on Monday afternoon, and all the preliminaries settled. The sum on the part of Fashion was posted by a club of her backer, consisting of some twenty or ihinv gentlemen, among whom are ihe present proprietors of the course. Notwithstanding the morning was clou--dy, and presented every appearance of rain, i yet, at an early hour the roads from the ci ly to the course (a distance of eight miles) were entered with carriages, baroucb.es, hacks, wagons, cabs, horsemen, and stump pedestrians in almost an unbroken chain, until the very moment the horses were to start. In addition to which, upwards of ten thousand persons were conveyed to tht course by the Long Island railroad cars. At about twelve o'clock we took occas ion to scan the course. The whola track on the inside, of one mile in circuit, was completely lined by the mass of carriages, horsemen, Sic. The stands at the starting post were crammed to excess, and a num ber of ladies were observable in the bouse and balcony of the j ckey club; but by far the greater number were upon the course in private carriages. The public stands exhibited a solid mass of human beings ; and every tree that overlooked the course was groaning with the weight of anxious gazers. Ttie course was in good condi tion, the slight rain on Sunday having packed it solid, and laid the dust in fine or der. Its shape is nearly an oval, with back and straight lines of about a quarter of a mile each, connected at each extremi ty by semi-csreies of the same distance, and is one mile and eighteen inches in length. Since the race between Henry and Et'lipse, the course has been graded by Roht. Ii. Stevens, esq., and two little hil locks that were then upon it have been levt lied, which is considered by judges to render it one second quicker than it was on that memorable tlay. A half-past twelve o'clock, Boston's white nose was seen coining down the course, and every knowing neck was stretched to get a pep at bis condition. He passed by the grand stand' and we iieard several remark that he appeared stifl" or lame in his right quarter; but upon be ing moved up and down several time, the opinion was thought not well founded Soon after, Colonel Johnon, like "Napol eon of the turf," as be has heretofore been termed, appeared with his marti il cloak and venerable white hat, with still wiiiter frosty pow upon him. Fashion then en tered the fii'ld, fallowed by her trainer, Samuel Lair I, and in a few moments Gil Patrick and Joe Laird, the riders selected, and the best jockeys on the tuif, also were before the anxious and excited concourse. At litis moment, 1 o'clock, a crowd of per sons broke through the pailing from the in side, and rushed into the en-dosure between the gates, to the great dissatisfaction of eve ry body but themselves. In a few mo ments, the jockey club stand, reserved ex pressly for members of the club and sub scribers, at $10 each, was filled to over ll iwing with the intruders; and after con siderable parleying between the proprietor of the course and the interlopers, he engag ed the services of Yankee Sullivan to c!jar t!:e course for the sum of $200. Sullivan immediately selected about fifty picked men, who formed what is techsncaly ter med "a band," locking arms together like a Roman phalanx, and thus cleared the course in such a manner as to allow the horses full scope to start. Al this moment every inch of room on all the public, siauds (which were calculated to bold 12.000) was occupied by spectators ; and among ihe crowd, upon the Club stand, we perceived those old turf-men Major Jones, Datligate, Van Mafr. Col. White, the Stevenses, the Livingstons, Wetherell of Philadelphia, and numerous others from ail parts and quarters of the United S'ttes. On the la dies' stand we ob?-erved, among j.umbers of others, the magnificent Josephine Clif ton, hIio entered into the spirit of the race with all the energy of an experienced tur fite. By way of varieiy here, a horse ran away with a negro rider through the cen tre of the course, aad broks a wagon for for Cowan, of the Bazaar, throwing the negro heels over bead al the same moment, and leaving him senseless. Several rows were kicked up on the course, and the roof of a shed tumbled in, to the discomfiture of lookers on above, and inmates below. The excitement was now beginning to increase; and as the track had been nearly cleared by Sulivan and bis party, the judg es, consisting of Senator Harrow, of Lou siana. Joint M. Bolts, of Virginia, and Ua indton W iikes, of New York, entered their station, ant! the bugle sounded as a sum lions for the riders to weigh and saddle. Eos-on being nine years old, bis weight wu? I2fi pound: while ihe mare being but Cite, her appropriate weight was uinj making a difference of fifteen pounds ; which, within three, was the same allowed Henry in the race with Eclipse. T!ii9 is supposed to have given Fashion about eigh ty rods advantage in each heat, on account of her lack of years. Gil Patrick, ihe rider'of Boston, appear ed in a neat blue jocky cap, and jacket of the same color, with white pants, ami oilhwui spur. Joe Laird, Fashion's jock ey, sporteil a rich green velvet cap, with blue jacket, light pants with green stripe ; and botli looked ihe pink of pure jockey ism, wiih extra touches put on ft.r the spe cial occasion. Gil, we understand, was promised 1,000 cash, and a colt of lime and bottom, if he took ihe purse. Joe's prospects, in case of success, we did not learn. Al a quarter before two the horses were uncovered, and ihe whole mass of specta tors upon the stand rocked to anJ fro like ihe ocean's wave, all anxious l scan the noble coursers who pranced and paraded before the mass as though they really en joyed the scene belore them. I hey un covered well, and showed the science of their trainers, Arthur Taylor and Samuel Laird, in every point presented 10 the view. The mare was in excellent condition, and appeareil full of life and activity. At last, al two o'clock and five minutes, the bugle sounded for the start, the riders mounted, and the horses came slowly 10 the scroll, while the immense con course were breathless with anxiety. (?ome one cried SI 00 on the horse, but tiiere was no lakers) Boston having won the inside of the track, be took his posi tion, and at the tap of the drum, by Mr. Wilkes, they went oil like an arrow from 1 lie bow, the mare taking the lead by a out a neck; but which was soon reversed iy Boston, who opened a gap between them of nearly two lengths, after passing the first quarter, which be mainuir ed to the scroll on the first mile, they both going at a kil I ng pace. Between the firt and second quarter of the second mile she partly clos ed the gap, and nearly lapped him when passing the half mile post; and on coming to the scroll, her bead was in reach of his foxy tail. The thi'd mile was run in a botu the same position, but it was appar ent to every practised eye thai it was such running as was never before witnessed in this country. As the horses passed the last quarter stake, Boston opened the distance between them a little wider, and some one on the club-stand cried 6100 to SOU on the horse; which was snapped al in a moment, and they dashed by ihe scroll, the favorite being- on the leal Half :i b'ng'h. While running tde turn or sweep from the star ting post to the first quarter, it was evident that Fashion's ridur was preparing for a struggle for the masf'rsbip, which she ef fected a few rods beyond the g'tte, although Gdl made full pl.t)' with bis persuader to keep bis position. Running down the backside of the course, she continued to open the way between them, and Gil then urged his horse n the utmost; but Ibe ef forts of the noble heart were in vain, as she was not to be caught at that juncture no how it could bo fixed. Between ibe sec ond and third quarter sho had left him full two h'ligt'is; and then came Ihe tug for vie tory his ruler lathed him t the quick, while they both "scented, 111 running, t devour the w.ny," asti.ey bounded towards ihe st uid, w ben, with a sing'e blow from her rider, she rushed to the scroti full n Utigth, in the clear, nhead, nmiil to fhvm tmg and clapping of hand-, waving of b ind keichiefa, and loud applause, that almost exceeded description. The riders return ing, aed found to be in full weight, the judges declared Fashion the winner of the heat, in ihe unprecedented and heretofore unrecorded time of 7in. 32 I 2. This is 4 1-2 seconds be:t?r time than the celebra ted beet won by Henry against Eclipse, which lias aiwa s heretofore been conoid ered "the rime" s. t the to of the rurf. Second Heat. Thirty minutes having expired, the bule summoned the riders to saddle; and at three o'clock and ten minutes ihey appeared on the track. At this point there were plenty of offers upon the mare, but no takers; and the previous backers of Boston, by way of hedging, offered two to one on the mare, but we did not see a bet taken. Some few bets of twenty to five were made on the grand stand before the start. The signal was given, and they went off with an even start, the mare taking the lead before ihey passed the first, turn, which, at the first quarter pole, she had opened to near two lengths. Gil thea niade a bard push, and for a few rods gain ed so much as nearly to lap her, which fie held until between the second and last quar ter, when she shook him off, and in passing the scroll was twenty feet in the clear on the lead. Gil now used the whip freely; but from the gate she gradually increased the distance between them, until between the second and third quarter, w hen lie made a desperate dash and closed within half a Iei.gth, which she soon opened again, and they came to the scroll, lie at a dead pull, she with a straight rein and twenty feet on ihe lead. She held her advantage during the first half the third mile, when Gil plied the whip most lustilv, and lapped her 1 " - tl.a E'lia.o rti0 ulmra l.c closed on the previous n'uie, nnu giauu....'. continued to wotk his way by her a full ha,' length when al the scroll. On turning the second corner, before he came to the liist quarter pole, Joe put his fairy steed on the lead almost in a twinkling, and con lined to open the space between them dur ing the mile, which she bad extended, with apparent ease, to thirl v yards at the win rung of the heat,' d the shouts of the mubiiude that made the very welkin ring. The riders being weighed, she was de dared the winner of ihe race, and the itn meuse sums risked upon her speed and bottom by her supporters. The judges then gave the lime as 7m. 45"., "fchich is four seconds belter than the second heat be tween Henry and Eclipse. Fashion has thus proved herself, beyond all cavil, to be a horse of speed and ! ittom unequalled in this country; and, for lime, at the head of the turf in ihe world. The backers of and losers on Boston sus tained their defeat with admirable compo sure, and reconciled themselves by the re flection that no oilier horse, except his present victor, could hold a candle to him in point of speed and bottom. Several gentlemen upon the course at tpmpttd to keep the time of each mil"; but. as there appeared to be quite a diversity of opinion, we conceive it unnecessary to give their statements. Several carrier-pigeons were let off, at the close of each l.eat, conveying the re sult; but their destination we could not learn. Numerous trifling accidents occurred in the way of break-downs, runaways, upsets, &c; and a man broke his leg by attempting 10 jump from the railroad cars, while at full speed. It is estimated that there were at least fifty thousand upon the course, and quite as many as attended the great race between Henry and Eclipse, although not more than one-fourth the amount of money was lost and won upon ibis contest. A sweepstake for 8300, mile heats, was run after ih great race. snl "n. in two hea s, y Charles S. Lloyd's bay colt, own brother to IJornblower: beating .imuel Laird's chesnuicolt Caesar, and John Hag rertv s chesnut hlly rnncess, who was distanced. Memoranda of the race bctwecen Eclipse and Ihnry. For reference, we give the f illo ing memoranda of this memorable race: It was run on Tuesday, May 27lh, 1823, over the Union course, for a purse of $20, 000 aside; $3,000 forfeit. Henry, owned bv Colonel Johnson, won the first beat by nearly a length. in 7 . 37s. Eclipse, own ed by C. W. Van R inst, won the second by about 30 feet, in 7m. 49s.; and also the third by about three lengths, 8m. 21s. The twelve miles were run by Eclipse, fioin the score, in 23m. 50s., being an ave rage of 7m. 57-. fir each beat, or lm. 50s. per mile. Eclipse was nine years old, and carried 129 lbs.; Henry, only four years old, and carried 103 lbs., except on the last heat, when the rider was changed, who weighed 110. As Tibs, extra weight is considered equal to a d stanceof forty rods on the four miles, Henry had an advantage in w eight of Sfi.Vvards on t!-e score of his youth. The Union course having previ ously been thirty feet over a mile, it was altered al this race to measure a mile, with 18 inches over. Ecl:pse wn r..lc m the first heathy William Crafts, and in the se cond and third by Mr. Samuel Purdy, of this city. Henry was rode in ihe firt and second heats by a bry named John Walden, and in ihe last by a rider named Taylor. Colonel Johnson, the "N apdeon of the turf." having freely indulged in "fresh lob ster,' a rarity among Virginians from fiis j quarter, was taken sick the evening previ ous to the race, and was therefore unable to 3ttend. This caused great disappoint ment among his friends, and the support ers of Henry. General Rulgeley, of Bal timore, Captain Cox, of Washington, and John Allen, Esq.. of Philadelphia, were the judges. It was estimated ihnl G, 000 people were on the ground, and ibat at least $200,000 changed hands on that me morable day in the annals of the American turf. From the Globe MR. VAN BUREN'S VISIT TO THE HERMITAGE. Ti c friends of the venerable patriot of al ! I m.nnn,.t Kill TC-i.OJ ttisl 0 lias lived to have one of the first wishes of hi heart gratified that of welcoming his friend and co-laborer i: the toils of his ad ministration, under the roof of the Hermi tage, lie has repeatedly expressed the pleasure he anticipated from this long-promised visit; and we are glad to learn from Mr. Van Buren's letter, which ve publish "in our columns, that he found his faculties un impaired by age, and his health in a condi tion to enable him to extend all the rights of hospitality, which, we have no doubt, was to him the highest enjoyment. General Jackson, it seems from the Whig papers, attended Mr Van Buren to Nash ville. From private letters, we learn that the fatigue to which he submitted, buoyed I J -F 1 - - - I- for its strength, lie was overcome by a fainting feeling, which detained him a few days at Nashville, and gave rise to a rumor that he was seriously indisposed. We are happy to bear, however, that he was suffi ciently recovered to return to the Ileriai- . tage. The Whig presses of Nashville notice with appropriate courtesy the visit of the two ex-Presidents to that city. The Nash ville Union thus speaks of it: "We have never witnessed a handsomer compliment to public and private worth.- It was, indeed, well done; and, as the Whig says, 'respectfully, decently, and in or der. "The guests took rooms at the Nashville Inn, which, under ihe direction of tbe com mittee, had been prepared for ibeir accom modation, and there received the salutations of a large concourse that gathered to the spot. General Jackson, remained there a few hours, constanly thronged with the inuluude anxious to shake the veteran's hand once more; after which, he repaired to the house of General Armstrong for more quiet and appropriate apartments. "On Friday, about eleven o'clock, Mr. Van Buren visited the Nashville Female Academy, accompanied by the venerable Mr. Crulcher, the father of the institution,, and by Colonel McG-ivock and Doctor Esselman, His reception is represented to have been deeply interesting. He found the pathway from the outer gate to ihe hall door strewn with flowers of many varieties. He was met at the door by the Rev. Mr. Elliott and other teachers of the institution; and as he received a cordial welcome, the young ladies with large bouquets in their hands, arrayed on either side of the aisle thai leads lo the rear, where the trustees were seated, at once made a most magnifi cent carpet of flowers, upon which he ad vanced and was introduced to the trustees. The classes, from first lo last, were then presented, when Miss Smith pronounced a neat salutatory address, and placed a crown of flowers upon his bead, which he look olfand affixed to his lefi breast. The little Udies thronged around him, literally load ing him with ihe choicest flowers of the season, as intimate, apparently, as if they had always known him personally. A scene like this about two hundred young girls dressed like so many .May-queens, all life and gayeiy is best appreciated by those who witnessed it. "General Jackson had been expected, and each little student had to ask why he was not present. They ware informed that the feeble state of his health prevented his attendance, but that the would be happy to see them al General Armstrong's in the af ternoon. Gladly receiving the invitation, they called on the old hero at the time ap poin'ed, covered him with flowers, and procured so many of his snow-white locks as to give his head ihe appearance of having y passed from the bauds of the barber. i hey greeted him with a kiss he gava them 'a b'esiing and a prayer.' " Nashville, April 27, 1842. Sir: The Democratic citizens of Nash ville and its neighborhood, when they were informed of your intention to visit General Jackson, had a meeting, and adopted reso lutions, a copy of which we have the honor to enclose U- you. You will perceive that il was their object to avail themselves of this occasion to manifest the high sense they entertain of your character and servi ces, and to offer you a public dinner at Nashville, whenever it may best suit your convenience to partake of it, during your stay at the Hermitage. In conveying to you this invitation, allow7 us to assure you that it is ottered by a large, intelligent, and respectable portion of our community, who look with pride upon your public course, and will always hail you as the consistent, uniform, and able advocate of tiie doctrines of the Repub lican party. Especially, during your ad ministration of the General Government, have they scanned your actions; and they rejoice at the evidence which they afford of an integrity that is unspoiled, and of a firmness and devotedness to constitutional duty that will ever command the admiration of the couiitry. We congratulate you, sir, on their behalf, -that, ahho.igh the parly adverse to the prin ciples on which you administered the Gov ernment succeeded in the late Presidential election, nothing yet has occurred to impair ihe force of those principles, or lo show that the great mzs of the people will not
