The secoud effect of the Life Med icines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and the. lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming chck.

The Statement of Ci lent worth. 4Ve have glanced over a pamphIetof72 pages, entilled "A O 1 A I lual Ll I UI THE FRAUDS OF THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, in the fall of tin year 1838, and the preliminary renunks the. writer says : I feel sensible thai I have com mitted a great moral wrong I know that I have been instrumental in attacking the puri ty of one of the dearest and most inestimable rights of freemen, I have succeeded bv the aid of others, in consummating a stupendous and daring fraud, nnd I have suffered, and juslly too, for my illegal conduct; but when I look around and see others who were as guilty as myself, men who reaped benefit fiom their in'quity, while I, aud I only, was compelled to suffer; men who have been elevated in consequeuce of their and my unlawful acts, and who are now courted, while I am passed by as unworthy to be their associate, I can but think that I am in the discharge of not ouly a great moral obligation, but also of a du ty which I owe to myself aud the public, to point out the men who were the guilty partic ipators with mc, that they may be known to the public, nnd also to expose the manner in which these frauds were perpetiated, in order that hereafter no such acts can be attempted without a certainty of defeat." It seems that the perpetratiou of the frauds was suggested in the autumn of 1S3S, bv the regular Executive Committee ot the Whig paity in this city, and was consummated under their immediate sanction and patronage. A "Confidential Committee" was raised from the Old aud Young Meu's General Whig Committees, to perfect and carry out the foul scheme. On the part of the Senior Commit tec, Robert Swarlivotit, since appointed a U. States Weigher, by Curtis, Fraucis L. Lip pett, and Redwood Fisher; and on the part of the junior committee, James liowen, now President of the New York and Erie Rail Road Company; Robert C. Welmore, since appoiuted Navy Agent at this port, and Glent worth were constituted the ' confidentials." Swartwout and Glentworlh were selected as the "exchange regulators" between this city and Philadelphia, aud " to carry into effect such confidential operations as might be garei d upon." In reference to the Philadelphia operation, "which icas to procure persons from that city to vole in the city of J"etc York;''1 several interviews were had ut the reg ular Whig Committee room in Broad street and elsewhere. Conspicuous in (he pamphlet we find the names of Edward Curtis Collec tor of the Port; W illis Hall, Attorney Gene ral of the State, one of the " confidential " ex officio ; James P. Freeboru, Potash In spector; Samuel R. Childs, one of the Waa ler Commissioners; Theodore Draper, Jr., now holding a conspicuous station imdc-r the government, Richard M. IJIati hlurd, Simon Draper, George S. Gongherty, and indeed nil of the most prominent of the W big lead rs, and the most disliugui-hed of the active Philadelphia " Whig" paitizaiis. The importation of the hire ruffians, and the modus operandi by which they were trans posed into voters, are thus described : "The men were to leave by the different lines, at seven, nine and five o'clock, the next diy, with instructions to report u Nouh Cook, lrti it j ' drilled preparei 4d Myfii modus operandi tjas witnessed bytba jentid . men named, anprj anorded tDetpmucDMUlMn: ment. 1 fn this oom I saw i'l.

The men were thoroughly, drilled; jjj&oy ; of them, it was represented, were old hands," aud understood their businesst' ,- " The method adopted waa ns follows: - (he men were placed in a row, and, ns before stated, a piece of paper, with, assumed name and residence, was given to them, the usual questions asked by the Inspectors, as to'quali- hcahou, were put to frrem repeatedly,- (mill they could answer satisfactorily, and without embarrassment. Frequently alterations were made among the men during the election, by changing hats and coats among themselves. 1 recollect there were some persons from New Jersey, who were under the immediate charge of rs'oah Cook, I do not know by whom they were employed or ou what terms tney Wcfc there ; they appeared very efneient, and fre quently changed their dress: which charges were personally attended to by JVoah Cook. I saw him put his own coat and hat on some of them several times. These men , boasted, of having voted in several' Wards, and in some ustances more than once in the same ward. During the Fall election of 1 83S, Mr William A. Lawrence, and Jonathan Nathan1, assisted ' in the upper private Committee room at Na-; lianaL HnlLin Brnsin- th- )ncr3 rflEH Whr candidates,, wnicn ucKets were persons who were drilled as .aforesaid There was also a young man by the name of Coggershall, whose father was at that time, or subsequently, the keeper of the City Pri son, who was also employed in preparing tickets. There was a difficulty with some of the men, in consequence of a part of their monei being retained by the leader or lead ers ; and at the instance, and with tVre advice of Messrs Lawrence and Nathan,' I paid them, to defray their expenses to Philadelphia one hundred and ninety-four dollatg, which amount, less some small subscriptions, was returned to me, n few days after the erection, by Mr Richard M. Blatchford'. During ttw three days of the election, many of the acf rte' members of the w hig party were admitted to the private committee room.. I was perfectly satisfied, from the successful management of the operation, that the whig ticket would be elected in the city, and I so expressed myself to a number of the leaders of the party." For the efficient services rendered by Glentworlh, he was recommended to the Got eruor by fhe prominent Whigs as a suitable . candidate lor office. Robert C- Wetmore wrote a strong letter to Gov. Seward in his behalf, in which he says, speaking of Glent worlh, that " he will be recognized as one of the most ardent and indefatigable partizans, to whose untiring exertions perhaps more than to any other in this city, the recent tri umph of our party and success of sound prin ciples may be attributed." How this and the fact that Robert C Wrctmore was one of the " confidential," can he reconciled with the statement made by Wetmore, under osth, in his examination before Recorder Morris, i-ti '.r.B.t.fc. in wnicu ne swears positively mat ne naa no knowledge that Glentworth was sent by any person or persons to Philadelphia in the Fall of 1S3S that he had not the most distant knowledge that Glentworth was at Philadel phia under any circumstuoces that while he recommended Glentworth to the favor of the Governor, he did no, do it "upon. the ground of extraordinary serv ices rendered by him to the party"' is to odr view most inexplicable. The reader will be able to come to a correct conclusion offhfe unscrupulous character of 31 r Wetmore without further comment from us on this point. Ihe significant remark of J. Prescott Hall, when Glentworlh spoke to him of the repeated promises of Blatchford, Draper, Bowen, Wetmore, &c, to stand by aud sustain him, that if these gentlemen were accused they icould all swear through," is a most pointed commentary on tho character of those gentlemen for honor and veracity. This statement of Gtentwoith is interesting, deeply, painfully interesting. It confirms everything stated by Mr Stevenson in rela tion "to the fiaud, and establishes the charac ter oflhe "Whig'T party for villainy and cor ruption beyond doubt or cavil We shall commence to-morrow, unless interdicted by Ihe publisher, who we perceive has secured a -co i- right, the publication of the pamphlet en-tire A
