THESE medicines are indebted for their name to their manifest and sensible action in pu rifying the springs and channels of life, and endu ing them with renewed tone and vigor. In many hundred certified cases which have been made pub Ire, and in almost every species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of MOFFATS LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BIT rrER3 have been gratefully and publickly acknowl edged by tne persons benefitted, and who were pre viously unacquainted with the beautifully philo sophical principles upon which they are compoun ded, and upon which they consequently act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases of every form and description. Their first operation is to loosen from the coals of the stomach and bowels", the various impurities ard crudities constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened faces which collect in the convolutions of the smallest intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitual costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden di arrhoea, with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatamists, who exam ine the human bowels after death : and hence the prejudice of those well informed men against quack medicines or medicines prepared and heralded to the public by ignorant persons. The second effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and ithe bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely de fends up n the regularity of the urinary organs. The bladder which takes its red color from the agen cy of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourish ed by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantiy mounts the bannei of lieahh in tae blooming cheek. Moffatt'a Vegetable Life Medicines have been thoroughly tested, and pronounced a sovereign rem edy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-ham and Headache, Restlessness, M-temper, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy, Costiveuess, Diarrhoea) Cholera, Fev ers of all kinds. Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvey, Ulcers, Inveterate, Sores, Scorbutic Erup tions and Bad Complex ions. Eruptive complaints, fallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable complex ions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common Colds and Influenza, and various other complaints which af flict the human frame. In Fever and Ague, par ticularly, the Life Medicines have been most emi nently successful; so much so that in the Fever and Ague districts. Physicians almost universally prescribe them. All that Mr. Moffitt requires of his patients is to Je particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directions. It is not by a newspa per notice, or by any thing that he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is a lone by the results of a fair tria'..

From the Nashville Union. DECLINE OF PUBLIC MORALS. "So long as banks shall be allowed to suspend specie payments with impunity, they will prove a course to the rich, a rod of oppression to !he poor, and aelur upon the morals of the nation." This is the closing SfcTUenre of a private letter we received on the subject of finance from the hand of John Quincy Adams im mediately afier the bank suspensions of 1837. Whatever may be the inordinate temper of Mr. Adams on forbidden sub jects ; erratic, Utopian, and impracticable as he is upon many public questions, still he is a man' of wide observation and pro found learning. Those stspensions were produced by the movements'of the United States Bank, and that Bank b among the first to fall into a heap of fiiuncial ruins. The rich are rob beJ of their stocks, and so are the poor. Ii has been a curse and a rod of oppression to both. Under the suspension, in which it took the lead, the whole people are daily defrauded iv every business transaction wherein pajer money is the instrument of operation. But the loss of property by these fraudilent manoeuvres is but a trifle when compired with the "slur upon the morals of the nation." What can be the opinion of (iteat Britain, whose subjects, held four-sevenths of the stock in our old broken Bank s And what are the effect at home ofxhis general system of legal plun der, adopted by our banking institutions generally ? This swindling in high places has paved the way to almost every species of crime in every gradation of society. A bank of ficer is detected in making himself a milli' onaire from the stockholder's vault, and yet he has acted in such a fashionable manner as to be permitted at large to de fend the theft through a series of letters ad dressed to a member of Congress ! Fraud by suspension having been tolerated from supposed necessity, a step further is ven tured, and thst which was wont to be cal led absolute theft and robbery is resolved into the simple missing of a figure. Now a member of Congress forges drafts on dis tance, disposes of them, and goes over to Canada to curse his country and partake of British synr.pathy. Then a grand ad venturer starts at New Orleans and passes I to the Northeast, forging as he goes along, to the amount of more than a hundred thou sand. Every mail brings intelligence of some new depredation upon bank proper ly, either by the officers, or by knaves who have perhaps deserted an honest occupa tion under the belief that "grab is the game" most fashionable. We have cases at home which are di rectly in point. The clerk of the Union Bank, whose honesty no one was before heard to question; who enjoyed reputable standing in society and in one of our most flourishing churches; had, it spems, been playing this game of "grab for a long time previous to his detection. The bank. like all other banks, had been constantly issuing "we promise to pay on demand, when indeed it. did not intend to pay on demand; and we marvel not that its "illus trious example' was followed by one of its clerks. Our nly wonder is, that such occurrences aliong mercenaries are not more fr equent under the rule of precedent. Another instance at home art occur rence of the pftst week comes up to the help of illustrstinn. A few months ago the sum of nearly fe7,000 was fraudulently ob tained from the Stale Bank at Nashville by a too successfil trick practised upon an es tablished rule !cf the directors. '1 he fraud was detected about a fortnight ago, and a merchant by tie name of Moore, at Milton, in Rutherford pounty, was arrested a few days since upon suspicion of bavins been concerned in the "transaction." During his examination before a magistrate he as ked the privlege of stepping into an adja cent room to write a letter, which was granted. When alone he com mined sui cide. . There can be no doubt of the fact that nothing has ejer occurred in this countr' so fatal in its effects upon the morals of the nation" a the utter faithlessness of the instintions established to furnish a repre sentative of the wealth, labor, and industry of the people. Followed as it was by the immoral (notto say disgraceful) scenes of the elections cf 1840, when fraud and un exampled corruption stalked abroad at noon-day w are not so much astonished at the manifest decline of public morals as we are that its causes are not more clearly seen by all parties, more frequentlv spo ken of by the wayside, in the language of denunciation, and more effectually guard ed against in the esajs of statesmen, po lilical economists, and moralists. Mr. Ritchie closes a fine analysis of the late message with ihe following well pul interrogatories. A very few days will an swer them, by showing whether the Pre sident means to set up for himself on his own principles, or to become an instrument in the hands of Mr. Clay, to carry out the I principles of Federalism, and so close his life in subserviency to a party which he obtained all his reputation by opposing. ; ' " Globe. "But will John Tyler carry out his old State Rights principles, and manfully throw himself into the raging sea of . the Whig party T Will he act like a Roman or ra ther, in the bull higher style of man, the stern, high-minded Virginian, will he nobly stem the current of consolidation, and the ury of Clay and his clique, and risk him self fo." the great principles of the Consti tution ? vVll he do this, and entitle him self to the support of every State Rights Democrat in the Union? Or will he at tempt to whip around the ulfliculty, and sanction a bill that establishes a large bank in the District of Columbia, with the pow er of branching off in the States,' without or with their consent 1 Letters in this ci ty from VVashington, hint that he is in fa vor of such a proposition. The VVashing ton correspondent of the Savannah Geor gian writes, on the 25th, "In regard to the first of these propositions, (the establish ment of a National Bank,) it is said that Mr. Ewing will submit a plan to Congress, proposing the establishment of a twenty million bank in this city, with branches in such States as may wish to enjoy its benefits, or suffer from its rascalities. Tne object in locating the Bank here, is to soothe the consciences of those Whigs who pretend to believe in the unconstitutionality of such an institution." It would, indeed, be whipping the devil round the stump. It would be adding hypocrisy ti usurpa- ! lion. If Congress cannot directly estab lish a bank in a State, what right has it to estaolisli a branch, indirectly, through a bank in the District ? Or what right has it in establish one with the consent of a State ? The States may enlarge the pow ers of the Federal Government by the as sent of ihree-fourths to an amendment of the Constitution, but not. otherwise. If Congress can place their lever on an inch of ground in the District to move the Un ion, they might be always violating the Constitution. They might establish incor porations there for commercial, manufac turing, or religious purposes, rfnd tempt single States to admit them into their bo soms, and thus indirectly cover the conn try with charters, when the power to es tablish incorporations was asked for and expressly refused in the Federal Conven tion. Besides, how alarming the conse-' quences of establishing a monstrous money King with thiny or fifty millions, in the immediate vicinity of the Executive; and, with all its corruptions, next door to the members of Congress- and "controlling the interests of individuals, as well as of the States." "Ve pause for further developemenls. We wait for Mr. E wing's propositions. He may uncage the lion, though Mr. Clay does not seem willing to wait for the report of the Secretary of the Treasury We ex pect nothing good from that quarter. The Cabinet is Federal. Mr, Webster rules them ; and the master spirit of Henry Clay rules him. If Mr. Tyler had the stern stuff and the noble pride of his illustrious fa ther, he would not be ruled ever, by Mr. Clay ; but throwing himself upon his gen erous and enlightened countrymen, would either raise himself upon their affections or sacrifice himself, like Cunius, for the cause of his country." From the Richmond Enquirer Abhorred conjunction! The Baltimore American goes for a National Bank, and as an auxiliary to it. a high Tariff! Here indeed is a double remedy for the. times, worse bv far than the disease itself. It admires Mr. Clay's promptness in bringing forward a National Bank as his "fiscal agent" hut declares, "that a National Bank, indispensable as it is to the restora tion of a sound financial state, will yet avail but little unless some decided change is made in ntir regulations of trade." "What can a Bank do without specie? And how can we retain specie in the coun try, enough to constitute the basis of cur rency, while a constant drain is going on under our existing commercial regulations, the inevitable result of which is to take specie out of the country ?" The Ameri can, therefore, goes for severe restrictions upon our commerce, in order to check what it calls "excessive importations." The doctrine is not a new one frj we have lately heaid a Tariff recommended, almost amounting to a prohibition, for the purpose of keeping the specie at home, in order to assist a National Bank. And these recommendations, so well worthy cf the most benighted days of Old Spain, and more than a century behind the present age, are urged by the ablest Whig paper tn the commercial ' City of Baltimore. What are we coming to ? How far are the Whigs retrograding from the wise genius of the age, and the solid interests sf such a young and growing country as the Uni ted States ? It was but the other day, that the" Richmond Whig ridiculed "the ub- straction of free Trade" and the modifica tion of the Corn laws of England ; one of the best reforms which could happen to every planter 'and farmer in the grain- I growing regions of America., Well, here we have another branch of the monstrous Whig doctrine that a National Bank can avail but little without ihe concurrence of a restrictive Tariff. Either of them sepa rately is abhorrent to the genius of the South. Their conjunction is portentous and abhorrent to all our principles in the last degree. " Washington, June 9. From the Globe. SENATE. , Mr. Clay gave notice that he would, on tomorrow, introduce a bill to distribute the proceeds of the public lands. Mr. Rives moved to refer that portion of the President's message touching the for eign relations, to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, of which lie is chairman. This is the ordinary course of business, but their exists a motive for setting it aside. Mr. Webster's correspondence with Mr. Fox, will not bear the scrutiny to which it is likely to be subjected in the Senate The majority, therefore, tinder the lead of Mr. Clay, who moved the postponement of Mr. Rives's proposition, will not willingly per mit an immediate consideration of the mo tion of reference, until the interest which attaches to the recently published corres pondence passes away, and it may escape the full effect of the animadversion of the representative bodies to which it has been communicated, while the public attention is alive to it. The tactics of the Federal par tyrwe'think, will be found throughout to take'trre character of the leader to whose dictation it lias evidently submitted itself Mivgjay has certainly an absolute control over fl majority of the Federal majority in Congress. The system of caucus manage ment which is resorted to by him, in regard to every measure, great and small, in ikes his will absolute over the whole party, by the perfect subserviency of the greater part. i This was made still more manifest in the next subject which was immediately brought up the bill to tipeallhe Indepen- dent Treasury. But a few days ago, a portion of Mr. Clay party acceded to Mr. Calhoun's amendment, to remove the disabilities which circumstances have impo sed Upon the greater portion of the Slate banks, and on which the rppeal of the In dependent Treasury law will devolve the fiscal agency of ihe Government. . The majority of the Senate refused to lepeal the State bank system as established in 1835. Some of the Senators in the Administra tion ranks declared that the repeal of that system would leave no regulated system, and that it would be a violation of all the principles avowed by the Whig parly du ring the late struggles, to abandon all legal regulation, and leave the public money at the discretion of the President and his Secretary yet, in the face of all this, con firmed by the vote of the majority, a few nights' caucusing has enabled Mr. Clay to accomplish what was contemplated by his rejected amendment. It is admitted on all sides lhat without a removal of the disa bilities of the State banks, which was first carried by the adoption of Mr. Calhoun's proposition, many will be incompetent to take the public deposites ; and yet the same men who voted lhat it was indispensable to preserve Whig principles, lhat there should be a regulated and adequate fiscal agency, independent of executive discretion, left to manage the finances in the interim after the repeal of the Independent Treasury, united under Mr. Clay's lead to reject every pro position looking to the maintenance of their avowed principles. Mr, Woodhury entered upon an exact and unquestioned detail of the condition of things, upon supposition of the repeal of the Independent Treasury, without further le gislation to make the revived State bank system feasible; and showed conclusively that every thing would be thrown' into con fusion, and that it was calculated to make the course of the Department as lawless as that of the Bank of the United States, in the management of the public money. He brought to view, in the course of his remarks, a multitude of very inteiesting facts in relation to the past conduct of the finances. Mr. Calhoun, in a few brief remarks. enforced the views of Mr Woodbu ry. Mr. Benton made a distinct proposition to recommit the proposed measure of repeal, with instructions that the r inance Commit- lee otiginanng it. snouui urine m some legally regulated substitute, to take chargi of the public treasure, which, on the ab rogation of the Independent Treasury, wou'd fall from ihe hands of the receiver general, the collectors, the officers of the mints, and receivers at the land offices. He urged his proposition in a short and pertinent argument. Mr. Young of Illinois urged some views. showing the necessity of providing some security for the funds which would be in the hands oAjiersons, whose bonds would lose the ir obligation by the repeal of the statute under which alone they existed. Mr. McRoberts of Illinois made a propo sition, also, 10 secure the public revenue accruing during toe interval elapsing be tween the repeal of the present system and the establishment of another. He en forced liis views by reference to the prac tice of the Department, and the decisions of the courts. All these well meant pro visions were voted down by a fixed caucus packed party vote, without-a reason as signedMr. Clay simply giving occasion al signals, by word and action. Mr. Wright, towards the close of the sitting, entered upon a comprehensive argu ment of the whole matter, as presented for instant decision. Mr. Wright was followed by Mr. Tall madge and Mr. Clay of Alabama, who, :it 5 o'clock, made a motion to adjourn, which was put down by ihe Whig majority. Mr Benton then addressed the Senate for about an hour in opposition to the bill, and when he had closed, the question was ta ken on its passage and decided in the j affirmative ayes 29, noes 18. - - -I Washington, June 10. From the Globe. SENATE. The promised bill for the division of the spoils of the public lands among the States, by way of reconciling them to the ruin of the Confederation which they had been surrendered to cement, was introduced by Mr. Clay this morning. After the reading of the bill by its title, he instantly propo sed second reading in the same way. Mr. Woodbridge of Michigan hoped the bill might be printed. But Mr. Clay thought this might arrest its rapid (light through the body, and Said it was the old bill, which had been printed some years ago. This admonished Senators that some printed co py might be found among the files of the Secretary's office, and that it would be needless to incur the delay which the prin ting might occasion, before the reference of the bill, a motion for which he designed should follow the second reading by the title only. Mr. Woodbridge, although of Mr. Clay's party, was opposed to this hot haste, and insisted on the printing; and Mr. Benton had the hardihood to refuse his ab sent to the reading by the tide twice on the same day. to give wings to this mea sure of waste and corruption. As a single negative was sufficient 10 arrest this setting aside of the rules of legislation, the second reading was not allowed, but Mr. Clay said that he would profit by the impedi ment thrown in his way. His hint was designed to let the minority know, that if they insisted on the regular progress, ac cording to the rules of the House, he would make them feel the power he commanded, in sue!: way as to idemniry for such resis tance to his arbitrary pleasure. The land distribution bill being thus dis posed of, for the day, the proposition to re fer the portion of the message in regard to foreign relations, brought on a debate in regard to the correspondence of Messrs. Fox and Webster, and our relations with Great Britain. Mr. Buchanan opened the debate by a brief statement of the facts con cerning the murder of a part of the crew and the burning of the Caroline, and con trasted the posture taken by the 'last Ad ministration with that assumed by Air. Webster in relation 10 this subject. He made.a very clear exposition of facts, and we think with a liberal and impartial spirit we might say with a delicate and tender re gard for Mr. Webster, and the station held by him, representing the country and its honor presented an aspect of the late di plomacy, which must make the nation sen sible that it must make a new character, if it expects to preserve its rights or its stan ding. -We shall not do Mr. Buchanan the injustice of attempting to give a sketch of his course of argument of the sentiments he proclaimed, or the principles asserted. In a few days we 6hall be able 10 present the whole speech to the public, which cannot be abbreviated. We will accompa ny it, if possible, with Mr Rives's reply, ami defence of Mr. Webster's .doctrines. These-mental efforts of tho two Senators will be found to bear about the same pro portions that their persons do to each other. On the conc.lution of Mr. Rives's speech, Mr. Choate, the Senator from Boston, who holds Mr. Webster's place there, rose also to reply, probahly tinder the impresiiou that Mr. Buchanan hail not been fully an swered. Me was not prepared to go on, being inclined to consult Mr. ,, Webster on the mode of managing the field before him. Although at a later hour yesterday Mr. Clay of Alabama, who was unwell, begged time until to day to be heard upon the repeal of the Independent Treasury, & was denied by the Federal majority, yet the minority in the Senate eheerfully acce ded to the inclination of Mr. Choate for an adjournment. THE HOUSE. We passed an hour in the gallery of the House, after the adjournment of the Senate, listening to tho speech of a new member from Kentucky the Hon. T. F. Marshall in reply to the Hon. J. y. Auams, e think the old teacher of rhetoric had never such a- lesson bf fore from- a young scholar cf his own Federal school. Mr. Adams ami his Abolition friends ha ving gained a signal triumph in the orgaiv ization of the House of Representatives hate grown presumptuous upon it. W apprehend that there has been a little of ths tactics of "the Puritan and Blackleg" brought to bear in this business in mors ways than one. It will be observed tbat Mr. Clay's particular devotee is made Speaker of the House, and that Mr. Ad am's particular coadjutors in the House are pul by him at the head of all its leading; Committees. William Halstead the Abolitionist, for whom Mr. Adams fought such oauie as temporary Speaker, in the organization of the last House, is made Chairman of the Committee cf Elections the very tribunal which he sought to disgrace by making the fraudulent commission of a Governor pre vail with it. instead of the legal popular suffrages recorded on the polls. Millard Fillmore, another Abolitionist, returned from one of the strongest Aboli tion districts of New York, is put at the head of the principal committee of the House at this juncture the Committee of JVays and Means. Joshua R. Giddings, another flaming Ab oli:ionist from Ohio, is put at the head of the Committee : Claims. Before this committee will corneal! claims fur lost prop erty in slaves and otherwise, growing out of the Floiida war: upon which, and all iis kindred subjects, Mr. Giddings delivered a speech at the last session, which shows lhat he has prejudged every question that can arise, and against the rtghis and interests of ihe people of Florida. George N Briggs, a Massachusetts man, and friend of Mr. Adams, personal and po litical, is put at the head of the influential Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads. Daniel . D. Barnard, another coadjutor from Albany, New York, is put at the head of the Judiciary Committee. Hiland Hall, another Abolitionist from Vermont, is at the head of the Committee on Revolutionary Claims. , - Leverett Saltonstall, the mover of the Hartford Convention in the Massachusetts Legislature, and the coadjutor of Mr. Ad- ' ami on the tariff question, "11 put at the head of ihe Committee on Manufacturer .. John Q. Adams, who, when President, invoked higher authority than the Constitu tion in favor of the Indians, against Geor gia, as he does now in favor of the negroes against the whole South, is himself put at the head of ihe Commilteejm Indian Af fairs. '.-Hf Caleb dishing, of Massachusetts, anoth er cf the Boston stamp, and notoriously ac tive in the effort to force the five million French spoliation claim through Congress, is put at the head of the Committee on For' eign Affairs, the position to give the great est influence over the demands for which, he is, and has been, a sort of attorney. Calvary Morris, another Abolitionist;, is at the head of the Committee on Pen sions. & Thomas B. Osborne, a Connecticut Abolitionist, is at the head of the Commit tee on Patent?. . William W. Boardman, another of tho same breed, of Connecticut, is at the heat! of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. Osman Baker, a Massachusetts man, is at the head of the Committee of ac counts. . The universal preferment of Abolition and Adams men on all the principal Com-- mitteeH of the House, could not have been accidental. It evinces .an understanding. something like the "bargain, intrigue and management". " '.of yore, between the- Kentucky Speaker and the black Puritans of the present day. The next triumph which followed this success of the Abolitionists, in appropria ting the powers of the committees, was the election of a Sergeanl-at-Arms of their choosing. ' After tins followed, on the motion of Mr.- Adams, the repeal of the 21st rule the rule which Inhibited the reception of Ab olition petitions, and ihe agitation of the" subject they would introduce. The motion to reconsider the vote car rying th". repeal of the 21st rule, brought out all Mr. Adam's dangerous principles, lie avowed, on the floor of the House, in case the negroes were roused to insu'rrec lion, that it would authorize the interposi tion of Congress on the subject ofslarery. that it would authorize the free States to make emancipation the condition ofbring-' iug the force of the Union to the rescue; thai while it would authorize the free Slates lo take part iu the war by the terms of the Constitution, it would authorize the Go vernment by the terms of a treaty, to abol ish slavery, and enforce npon the South the principle of universal emancipation This declaration of Mr. Adams called out Mr. Marshall in a speech of great power, which we hope to see reported and univer sally disseminated. It will do good North and South TIT FOR TAT. The Bank of Frederick, Md bss been robbed to the amount of nearly 8200,000 Serred it right, .
