THE "STANDARD AND, THE WHIG ,
CONVENTION.,'..; -vv.l
The Editor f ,th9 "SUndrd'; still indulges his
indignation at the expense of the Whig Convention,
and n would suppose, in reading the ebullitions of
his holy horror at the appointment of Messrs. Stan
lt and Hi.xton, en the Central Committee, that no
Democratic Office-holder, ever thought for a moment,
of even entertaining a political opinion, much less
presuming to a tow it openly. But how easily can a
plain statement of facts expose such baro-faced hy
pocrisy, as that which the Editor of the u Standard"7
is endeavoring to practice, in reference to this mat
ter. It seems an enormity, that a Whig, holding of
fice, should move an inch in defence of his political
opinions ; but a Democrat whoever or whatevor he
may be good, easy, progressive soul has the una
lienable right to move heaven and earth, if necessa
ry, to uphold the dynasty at Washington! The
u Standard" must bear in mind, that if this discus
sion should push his own party, and a few of his par
ticular friends into a predicament he, himself, will
have the blame to bear. Perhaps his unscrupulous
censure of the Whig Contention, is intended as a
slight hint to his own political friends, not to act so
imprudently and inconsistently, is to appoint so many
office-holders to their State Convention. Why, look :
fn the very adjoining column, and directly opposite
to the last article of the "Standard" in relation to
Mr. Stanly's appointment on the Central Commit
tee', there is published a list of Delegates to the De
mocratic State Convention, in which we find the
name of a County Attorney ! Has he come out "oer
his own signature, and put the seal of reprobation on
such conduct," on the part of his Democratic friends ?
But hold a while this is not half. In the same num
ber of the "Standard," (March 15.) we find the fol
lowing amongst the Resolutions passed at the Ons
low meeting:
: Resolved, That in ease the Delegates appointed
in conformity with the above Resolution, should fail
to attend the (State) Convention, then Messrs. J.
Nixon, W. W. Holden, Pekbix Busbee and Dux
cax K. MacRae, be requested to act as proxies?1
Well, as the Editor himself is honored with a
voice amongst the "proxies," we may imagine that
he has already advised, privately and aside, somewhat
after this fashion : " Now, boys, be careful you
have seen the rowing up Salt River which I have
given the Whig Convention, for appoiuting Stanly
and Kixton on their Central Committee, havn'tye?
Don't get me in a quandary, now, for I want to head
these rascally Whigs, and I am committed against
appointing office-holders to political stations, and, I
advise you to come " out over your own signatures,
and put your seal of reprobation" on this conduct of
the Onslow Democracy ; out- stop ! mat won't ao,
"for if it is ever known that I gave such advice, 1
a. t 1
shall have a storm about my ears from that quarter ;
but mind ye, boys, I am an old stager, and no Dis
trict Attorney or" Clerk and Master in Equity, should
meddle with politics.77 But we opine such sage ad
vice has -not been heeded.
But we beg the Editor of the "Standard" not to
be alarmed. We have been looking over the pro
ceedings of the Wake Democratic meeting They
grow in interest the more they are read. Call over
the list of Delegates. Well, here we go :
1. Wesley Jones U. S. Marshal, Dist. of N. C.
2. J. K. MacRae U. S. District Attorney.
3. P. Busbee Clerk and Master of Wake.
Now, were not these gentlemen, like Major Hix-
ton, "in town," when they were appointed 1 And
do they intend to put their "seal ef reprobation on
such conduct" of the Wake Democracy I Most as
suredly, the "Standard." unless it is determined to
play an inconsistent and hypocritical part in this
matter, will read a severe lecture to those who were
actors in the Wake meeting.
But we would fain ask the u Standard" a question
or two : '
1st Did not Judge Strange, whilst holding a
high Judicial office in the State, attend the Balti
.jnore Convention as a Delegate?
2d. Did not J udge Sauhdebs do likewise ?
3rd. DM not Col. Wheeler take a most active
part in politics, whilst holding the very same office
that Major Himtos now holds 1
4th. Were there not several office-holders on the
Democratic Central Committee 1
5th. Has not a gentleman, holding a high Judicial
office in the State, been appointed an alternate Del
ez&te to the Democratic State Convention from a
Western County ? Has he reprobated such conduct 1
Has the "Standard" censured those wh.o appointed
him 1
6th. Ie not that "sauce for the goose, which is
sauce for the gander ?"
7th. Are Whigs to be censured for doing what
tby have such high Democratic authority for ?
When these interrogatories are answered, we shall
be able to show the very consistent Editor of the
"Standard," that we have "a few more examples of
the same sort left," proving the beautiful sincerity
of such miserable croaking as he puts forth, in re
ference to the members of the Whig Central Com
mittee, and the Whirr Convention.
DEATHS OF TWO GREAT MEN.
The venerable Ambrose Spencer, of New York,
and the Hon. Henry G. Wheato, late Minister to
Berlin, are both numbered with the dead. The in
telligence of J udge Spencer's decease reached New
York on Tuesday, and was not unexpected, as he
had been ill for some time. Mr. Wheaton died at
Roxbury, Mass., on Saturday, and his decease may
well be considered a national loss, as he was .unques
tionably, for many years, the ablest of our diploma
tists abroad, and a statesman of profound research.
PENNSYLVANIA WHIG CONNENTION.
This body has adjourned, after .forming an Elec
toral ticket and doing much other business. There
was bo expression of a preference for any Presiden
tial candidate. A Resolution instructing the dele
gates to the National Convention to vote for Gen.
Scott was rejected ; the nomination of the Hon. A.
Stewart, as the candidate for the Vice Presidency,
was recommended to the National Convention. Res
olutions were unanimously adopted, that the Whigs
of Pennsylvania cherish with seal their, long estab
lished principles, and warmly adhere to the tariff of
1842, and that "the Whig candidate for the Presi
dency, to be worthy of the support of the Whiz par
ty, must be known to be devoted to its principles,
w uahub mcir exponent and champion, and
prepared to carry them faithfully out in the execu
tion of his official duties."
"Potoxac" the well-known, shrewd and
gifted Washington Correspondent of the Balti
more Patriot," in discoursing on the warriajt and
conflicting elements which will be at work in the
lioco Foco National Convention, concludes by sav
mg SoI judge it safe to be set down, that James
K. Polk, and nobody but James BLPolk, will be the
nominee of the Baltimore Convention, for President
TAYLOR CLAY.
- We adopt Ha our own sentiments,, upon the selec
tion of a Whig Candidate for the Presidency, the
following patriotic and conciliatory remarks of that
sterling Whig print, the "Columbus (Geo.) En
quirer" : c:It is now settled, we believe, that either
Gen. Tatlo or Mr. Clay will be selected as the
candidate of the Whig party. . Personal preferences
in this matter have nothing to do with our choice.
Which of them can combine the strongest support
and rally to bis standard, moat of the elements of
success? - Believing from the first that Gen. Taylor
could more certainly command the votes of the great
mass of the American people, and would, if elected,
administer the government in all its original consti
tutional purity, we have looked with something more
than ordinary anxiety to his nomination and tri
umphant election. We have not thought proper,
however, as some of our cotemporaries have done, to
dictate to our political associates what course they
should pursue, or quarrel with them for not agree
ing with us in opinion. If those whose business it
will be to make the selection do it with an eye to the
good of the common country, there will be no want
of seal on our part to carry the nominee through.
Let them present a proper man, as they doubtless
will, and the people will do the rest."
DT" W. W. Seaton, Esq., Mayor of Washington
City, and one of the Editors of the National Intelli
gencer, accompanied the remains of Mr. Adams to
their final resting place, having been deputed to per
form this duty by the citizens of the District of Co
lumbia. . D- The Washington Correspondent of the "Bal
timore American," says it is probable, that on the
ratification of the Treaty of Peace by Mexico, and
the restoration of amicable relations between the two
countries, Mr. Sevier will be nominated as Minister
to that Republic.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The Stables of the Harlem Rail Road Company,
in the upper part of New York, were destroyed by
fire on Saturday night last. Fifty-seven horses, va
lued at $5008, were burned to death.
' VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
Raleigh T. Daniel, Esq., Whig, has been elect
ed Councillor of the State for three years, over Mr.
Rutherford, Loco.. -
0y The last and best definition of "progressive
democracy11 is from the lips of that distinguished po
litical lexicographer, Col. Benton. He compares it
to an engine, driving at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, of a dark night, without a lanter or a cow
catcher. This pungent and precise definition doubt
less will meet with a very general acceptation.
KF The subjoined eloquent Prayer, was offered
up in the House of Representatives of the Massa
chusetts Legislature, by Rev. Mr. Bartol, on the
morning of the reception of the remains of the la
mented John Quincy Adams, in Boston :
Oh God, we listen this morning to the voice of
thy great Providence, calling us to a nation's fune
ral. The spectacle of the nation's sorrow, moving
over the land, approaches our gates, for the pecu
liar grief of this Commonwealth bereft of her hon
ored son. Not thus, O God, have we been wont to
greet the return of our friend, thy servant, from
his high seats of trust and faithful counsel. The
eye that we have seen beaming upon us with intel
ligence, is quenched in its lustra The hand that we
have grasped with respect and affection, is stiff.
The voice we have heard so eloquent, is hushed.
And the heart that beat so high with the sentiments
of honor and justice, is forever stilL For the ani
mated, breathing form, we have to receive only the
cold, sealed relics of mortality. But, O Father,
though the silver cord is loosed, and the golden,
bowl broken, we believe, as Christians, that the spir
it is translated to the regions of immortal blessed
ness and peace. May roe move faithfully in our
spheres of duty, so that when, like him, we have
u seen the last of earth," and our dust goes to its
kindred dust, our souls, like his, may be translated
to mingle in the rejoicing of kindred spirits in the
abode of " the just made perfect," to which wilt
Thou finally give us welcome, ef thine infinite mer
cy and forgiveness, through Jesus Christ. Amen.
FOR THE REGISTER.
TO THE GOVERNOR AND HIS COUNCIL.
By the Constitution of the State, it becomes your
province to fill any vacancies, which may occur in
the recess of the Legislature, and as this duty de
volves upon you, by the death of the lamented Judge
Joseph j. Daniel, it is natural to suppose, that one
of the Superior Court Judges will be appointed to
fill the seat vacated by his death ; and for the va
cancy thereby created in the Office of Circuit Court
Judge, we recommend to your favorable considera
tion, the name of CoL Anderson Mitchell, of
Wilkesboro7. CoL Mitchell is a gentleman of un
exceptionable moral, and of the highest literary char
acter. But these are not all the merits of this wor
thy man ; he combines rare intellectual capacity,
with the most profound legal erudition, having de
voted almost entirely his whole life to the study of
the Profession. His great moral worth and integri
ty in private, as well as public business, eminently
qualify him to fill tlat important post We are
certain that you could not select a gentleman better
capacitated to discharge the functions of that impor
tant station, with greater fidelity to the State and
honor to himself, than Col. Mitchell. . We think,
too, that this honor is due the West, but we would
by no means claim it as a right, thereby impairing
the claims of other portions of the State; for we
know of many gentlemen, well qualified for the of
fice. CoL M. does not know the author of these
lines, nor do we know that he would accept, if ap
pointed ; but hope he will. PHILOS.
Great Whig Clay Meeting in Mobile.
We perceive an account in that sterling Whig
paper, the Mobile Advertiser, of a great Whig
meeting, which was held in the Alhambra in that
city on the evening of the 9th instant. Clay men
aud Taylor men met together, speeches were
made by the friends of each ; by Mr. Lang don,
Mr. Bestor and Mr. Hun tee. in favor of Mr.
Clay, and by Mr. Mubpht, Mr. Young and Mr.
Stewart in favor of General Taylor. The
Resolutions read by Mr. C. C Lakgdon, as
Chairman of the Committee, were excellent in
kind and spirit, and were passed by an over
whelming majority. They were Whig Resolu
tions from beginning to end, go for Whig prin
ciples, for a candidate of the Whig party, against
the origin and miserable conduct of the adminis
tration of the War by our ruler, and express
their preference for Mr. Clay for the Presi
dency. .
The Charleston Courier says that Mr. Clark
Mills, of that city, hat completed his beautiful
model of the Equestrian Statue of Gen. Jackson
and is about to take it to Washington fof the in
vpection of the Jackson Monument Committee.
The Courier remarks
The universal testiniony, as well of artists as
others is that Mr. Miles's performance is an ex
quisite achievement of art. The old hero is

troops on the morning of the 8th January,, 1S15.

In the Senate,: on March 15, after the trans

teers (at the pleasure of the President, when
deemed necessary,) instead of ten new regiments
of regulars. This motion was defeated by a vote
of 17 Ayes to 28 Nays.
Mr. Calhoun expressed a desire to give his
views art the bill, and hoped it would lie over
till to-morrow, but yielded his motion, to hear
others.
Mr. Mason, who was entitled to the floor when
the subject was last up, spoke at length in favor
of the bill.
Mr. Mangum moved to make the ten regiment
bill the order of the day for to morrow two weeks.
He could see no necessity for the soldiers, and
hoped the bill was not pressed with a viewof is
suing commissions to have effect upon the pro
ceedings of the National Convention, in May
next. He regarded it more as a decidedly par
tisan movement. He modified his motion, by
moving that the bill be informily passed over, for
the present.
Mr. Manzum's motion to lay over, was defeat
ed 19 to 28.
Mr. Baldwin spoke in opposition to the bill.
Mr. Allen said he hoped final action would be
had to-morrow.
Mr. Foole, as a friend of the bity, made some
remarks.
Mr. Calhoun signifying his intention of speak

ate adjourned.'

In the Senate, on March 16. Mr. Atherton
moved to take up the bill from the House of Rep
resentatives known as the Deficiency Bill which
was agreed to.
Mr. Benton, in order to make the bill mere ac
ceptable offered an amendment.
Mr. Ashley spoke warmly in support of the
mission to Rome, provided lor by the bill.
Messrs. Badger and Criilendeu opposed the
bill when without further action, it was laid a
side. On Mr. Cass's motion, the Senate took up the
Ten Regiment Bill.
Mr Calhoun addressed the Senate in opposi
tion to the passage of the bill. He said there
existed no necessity now for its passage. Mex
ico was prostrate. Her government only exis
ted by dur forbearance. He regarded the force
already in the field as amply sufficient ; even
should Mexico refuse to ratify the Treaty of
Peace A single American regiment could over
throw her government. He regarded it as bad
policy to attempt to intimidate her into a ratifica
tion of rhe Treaty.
Mr. C. denied that the President of the United
States had rightful authority to impose taxes on
the Mexican people. Such an exercise of au
thority, he said, was not warranted by the con
stitution or by law. He entered his solemn pro
test against its exercise, without asking the con
sent of Congress. He regarded the precedent
as one fraught with danger.
Mr. Johnson of Georgia, followed in defence of
the Administration, and in support of the bill.
On motion, the Senate then adjourned.
The House of Representatives, on motion of
Mr. McKay, went into committee of the whole

amendments to the House.'
The question was taken on the passage of the
Bill as amended, and was decided in the affirma

In the Senate, on March 17, Mr. Badger gave
notice of his intention to ask leave to report a
bill to explain the law regulating the franking
privilege of member of Congress.
On motion of Mr. Cass, all other business was
passed over, and the ten regiment bill taken up.
Mr. Berrien expressed his regret that circum
stances compelled him to speak upon the bill, at
this time, aud argued at length in opposition to
the bill, in a mild and pacific tone.
Mr. Webster next took the floor, and said he
desired to be heard upon ' the present state of
the country and thp farther prosecution of the
war.'
Mr. Cass advocated the passage of the bill as
calculated to produce a peace, and to operate fa
vorably upon public opinion in the procuring of
mouey for the use ef the government. The
Senate passed at 8 o'clock, the ten regiment bill,
by a vote of 29 to 19, and then adjourned.
In the House of Representatives, a debate took
place on a motion to print 100,000 copies of the
report of the committee on Patents ; and it was
agreed to.
The calendar of private bills was then taken
up.
Shocking Murders The New York Sun, of

A letter was yesterday received from Monte

two American vessels, the brig Blackhawk, (re

writer, late a seaman on board the Oceoia, states
that he saw both crews murdered on the 16th ult.

account of his being an Odd Fellow, the com

Gertlemen. The courier will leave, in th
morning early I can say one word, and only one,
by him. ; A peace treaty has been signed. Ii ia
founded. upon a stupendous system of private
jobbing. It has been arranged by the agents of
the Rotbchilda and of Barings Brothers, the
English millionaires, and by Trist. A few days
before the treaty was signed, these agents, know
ing or me . treaty, sent on couriers tor Europe,
with information of the fact, to buy up the Mex
ican bonds for about $15 in the 100. As soon as
the news of the treaty reaches Europe the bonds
will be forced up to thirty or forty dollars, or
more, in the hundred, and these millionaire ban
kers will sell out bavins' realized many mil
lions by the operation. It is said that the Bri
tish Minister, and the agents of European Ban
ners here, as well as another, no longer author
ized to act for our. country, are all involved in
this nefarious scheme. Some time since. Gen
Lane left here, as you will learn, with a detach
ment to catch Santa Anna. At the same time,
Boulangerfone of the English agents, left here
also on a mission to Santa Anna. Lane approach
ed with the sword Boulanger with the purse.
He, Santa Anna, received his price, and so is
to leave the country in consideration of it. Thus
these jobbers have disposed of Santa Anna.
The party in possession of what is called the
Mexican Government is a little faction ; money
has also been furnished them, on the faith of the
treaty. This money is to be divided among the
government enployees as so much spoils. The
members of the Mexican Congress are also to
be bought up,, and are, in consideration of a
price, to ratify the treaty.
About what I have written there is no doubt.
Our country is to be forever disgraced by an ex
tensive gambling project, such as was never be
fore known. Here, in these few lines, you have
the basis of the Treaty, and the means by
which it is to be made available. It is thought
here, also, that the Mexican faction seeks, in pro
secution of this work, to introduce English pow
er to sustain them. It is certain that Doyle, the
British Charge, is largely engaged in this scheme.
This is the consequence to follow artl the blood
aiid suffering and heroism of the American arms.
L Will our countrymen, at home, permit it, or sanc
tion it i dod Almighty forbid it ! I write in
haste, and know not whether lean get this off.

Instructions to Mr. Slidell A Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Herald gives
an 'abstract of what he states to have been the
instructions to Mr- Slidell, the Minister to Mex
ico.previous to the declaration of war which may
or may not be correct.
He states that Mr. Buchanan's instructions to
Mr. Slidell direct him to protest against the me
diation of England between this country and Mex
ico, and that the doctrine of the balance of power
cannot be tolerated on this continent. He is in
atructed to urgestrenuously the claims of our cit
izens on Mexico, and as they could not then be
extinguished by the payment of money, to assure
ihctn that this government would be willing to as
sume the debts of Mexico due our citizens, in
consideration of the extension of the boundary of
the United States. The Rio Grande is the true
boundary of Texas, and Mr. Buchanan goes on to
prove this position from the. history of this country
and of Mexico, and informs Mr. Slidell that the
independence of Texas is not to be admitted to
be a question. It was different, however with
regard to New Mexico. That country the Tex
ans never conquered ; and as its possession was
desirable to the United States, it was a fit subject
for negotiation.-
For the whole of New Mexico and. the boon
dary of the Rio Grande, Mr. Slidell was author
ised to offer to assume payment of the debts due
our citizens, and in addition, to pay Mexico five
millions of dollars for the boundary of the Rio
Grande from its mouth to the source. To as
sume the payment of the claims of our citizens
Mr. S. was instructed to obtain California, if pos
sible, and for the line running from the southern
extremity of New Mexico to the Pacific, so as to
include San Francisco, he was authorised to of
fer twenty millions; for the line embracing Monterey-,
twenty-five millions. At this, he was in
structed to inquire into the alleged delinquency
of Emillio Vos8.
Mr. Clay and Mrs. Polk. We find the fol
lowing well-told anecdote in the Western Conti
nent, of Saturday :
It is doubtless known to our readers, that
shortly before his departure from Washington,
Mr. Clay attended a dinner party, with many
other distinguished gentlemen of both political
parties, .at the President's House. The party is
said to have been a very pleasant affair the
viands were choice, the wine was old and spark
ling good feeling abounded, and wit and lively
repartee gave zest to the occasion, while Mrs.
Polk, the winning and accomplished hostess, add
ed the finishing grace of her excellent bouse
wifery in the superior management of the feast.
Mr. Clay was of course honored with alseat near
the President's lady, where it became him to put
in requisition those insinuating talents which he
possesses in so eminent a degree, and which are
irresistible even to his enemies. Mrs- Polk,
with her usual frank and affable manner, was ex
tremely courteous to her distinguished guest,
whose goodopinion, as of all who share the hos
pitalities of the White House, she did not fail to
win.
Madam,' said Mr. Clay, in that bland manner
peculiarto himself, 4 1 must say that in my trav
els, wherever I have been, in all companies and1
among all parties, I have heard but one opinion of
you. All agree in commending in the highest
terras your excellent administration pf the do
mestic affairs of the White House. 4 But,' fie
continued, directing her attention to her husband,
'as for that young gentleman there, I cannot say
as much. There is,' said be,' 'some little differ
ence of .opinion in regard to the policy of his
course.'
Indeed,' eaid Mrs. Polk, I am glad to hear
that my administration is popular. And in return
for your compliment, I will say that if the country
should elect a Whig next fall, I know of no one
whose elevation would please me more than that
of Henry Clay.' , '
Thank you, thank you, Madam. .
And I will assure you of one thing. If you
do have occasion to occupy the White House on
the Fourth of March next, it shall be surren
dered to you irf perfect order frtfni garret to cel
lar.' I'm cerlaiff tha'ti:'
Bqt, the laugh that followed this pleasant re
partee, which lost nothing from the manner nor
the occasion of it, did not permit 'the guestff at
the lower end of the table to bear the rest of Mr.
Clay's reply. Whether be was certain that' he
should be the tenant of the President's mansion,

REVOLUTION IN FRANCE !
A friend informed us, just as our paper was going
to press, that he had seen the " Philadelphia Ledg
Br,'' of Saturday last, Which contains highly impor
tant intelligence, brought by the Cambria. A Rev
olution had broken out in France ! A Republic had
been proclaimed, the Royal Family had left Paris,
all communication with th intr!m had hmn ent off:
the Rail Road Stations were in possession of the
People, and the Revolution was rapidly spreading
throughout the Empire.
On the 24th February! Lonia PK;n;
in favor of the Count de Paris; the Duke de Ne
mours was proposed as Regent, but rejected it. A
Republic on the model of the United States had
been proposed ; the people were carrying the throne
on their shoulders in triumph, an4 BingW the
Marseilles Hymn ; there had been a frightful Toss of
life, and in many iSstances the troops had refused
to act against the people. - .
It is impossible, at this late hour, that we should
give all the particulars. The elements whch have
been gathering for some time past, have at length
broke in blood, carnage, and Revolution ; and Louis
Phillippe, the constitutional King, abdicates, leav
ing all behind him in chaos and confusion.
In our next,, we shall no doubt, be able to lay the
particulars at length, before our readers.

cause of the formation of worms : they are variously
named the round worm, generally in persons of
tender years ; the maw-worm, a most troublesome
insect : and also, the long thread-worm, the tenea,
or tape worm, &c. &.c. They exist under different
forms, sometimes they knit together, and go out in
balls ; oitenec they divide and go out one after an
other. When they ascend through the intestinal
canal, they may bi ejected by the mouth, and :eten
by the nose. When this happens the patient is in
much danger, such symptoms being strong evidence
that his system is dangerously encumbered with the
corruption, and its re-union, and those two affections
when united, gi ay xause instant death, or a short
illness, ending in inevitable death.
The tape worm is almost always .found alone. It
is sometimes very long. The Brandreth Pills have
brought them away fifty feet long. The tape worm
is flat, jagged from one end to the, other. It is sel
dom ejected entire.
Those who are afflicted with any kind of worms,
have usually a dull complexion, the circumference
of their eyes are usually black ; they are pale and
debilitated : palpitations; a miserable weariness on
the least exertion, and other unpleasant affections.
Children are subject to small and middle sized
worms ; the tcnea or tape worm is principally found
in grown persons. Vermifuges are ofteu more inju
ry than benefit : they never entirely evacuate the
worms, but by breaking the mass which contains
them, and in which they hnve ever been formed,
they become scattered among the folds of the intes
tines, pierce their tunics, and cause the most fatal
accidents.
It requires but a common understanding to con
ceive well the cause and formation of worms. A
simple and natural comparison plainly shows the
principles of their formation. ' E very one knows that
they are not to be found in fresh meat ; and that,
on the contrary, they are engendered in spoiled
meat. It is then evident they cannot be engendered
in the body of a person whose humors are sound,
but in those persons only, whose humors are cor
rupt ; therefore, to cure and prevent the formation
of worms, the humors of the body must be purified
must be free of corruption.
Brandretws Pills remove not only the worms .of
whatever kind, (being equally adapted for the round
or tape worm,) but also the humors which form them
and upon which they feed. Besides, they have the
property of evacuating every substance which might
favor a new formation of worms, by regenerating
the mass of humor.
The following testimony, in proof of the powers
of Brandreth's Pills, as a remedy against worms, ia
inserted here. Dr. Brandreth can assure the pub
lic, thai he has known much more surprising cases,
were he at liberty to refer to individuals.

Reading, Fairfield Co., Conn.
Da. Brnjamim Brandreth Dear Sir: I have
been troubled with the tape worm for 12 years; ma
ny have come from me, from 20 to 30 feet long more
or less every day of shorter ones every two or three
weeks I had a sick time from them pressure at sto
mach heavy load many have crawled from me
while at work injure my health so much that I was
not able to work one half the . time spent a great
deal of time and money, in cousulting physicians and
taking their prescriptions have been reduced very
low by taking medicine, without effect last, fall
heard of BRANDRETH'S PILLS as a CURE
ALLr had but little faith in them, but was deter
mined to try any, every thing I could find at all prob
able to cure, thinking that without some remedy I
must be destroyed by them. I procured one box.
took one dose, and one norm came from in; 10 feet
long took the second and third, which cleaned them
all out, and 1 have not had one since. I have, how
ever, taken several boxes of, pills since, but have
seen no appearance of worms. It is now ten months
since, and I have gradually recovered my health,
and am now able to attend to my business as usual,
aud have no doubt they are all extinct. When I
was afflicted with wprms, I wanted to consumeree
times as much food as if I would if in good health.
Now I take my regular meals, and am hearty and
enjoying -good health, and able to do a good day's
work. The last worm that came from me-was 12
feet long. 1 have not the least doubt that it was
Brandreth's Pills your valuable Vegetable Medi
cine that effected the cure, as every thing else that
I could hear of was tried without effect

Tery Important Invention.
IT HAS long been a question among teachers ana
amateurs of music, as to the moat, suitable, touch for
a Piano Forte. Some at .this time contend for a
light touch, while others. With equal ability, advocate
the heavy. - This question is now permanentlv set
tled. WISE & BROTHER have invented a con-;
trivance by which the same Instrument ma; be in
stantly set to any required touch, by the turning's
single screw, varying, if necessary, three hundred
and sixty-five differences. The advantages of this)
are evident, both to teachers and amateurs, as lessens
may be practised on the heavy, and exhibited on tha
lighter touch, to suit exactly any physical capacity
which is agreeable to fact and progressive lessons. -The
contrivance is simple, and may be applied to
any common Piano.. We invite .the most critical,
investigation.' A Patent is about to be taken lor the
improvement. J. J. WISE & BHQTHER. .
