L. D. Henry's letter to Com" tee
FOR THE TAKBORO PKESS-
LOUIS D. HENRY.
TKp Whior nriners both lanre and small
have opened full tongued upon this gentle
man. His letter of acceptance has thrown
the whole camp .in dire confusion, and
nothing but gnashing of teeth and growl
ing can be found in the Whig press. The
fact is, that Mr. H. has laid bare the mani
fold corruptions of the party he has
eketched with a master's hand the history
of their acts and the motives which govern
them have been exposed to the full blaz
of light, which the recent Democratic vie
tories in other States have shed abroad up
on the land. The lash has been freely ap
plied, to their naked carcasses, and they are
now left to their own inherent corruption.
He is charged with Federalism, with this
and that, not that they are true, but to a
void the issues which he has most ably
brought to the consideration of the people.
The doctrines contained and set forth in his
letter are not attempted to be refuted no,
he has spoken the truth and they know it
Their sole hope being to divert public
attention from those facts; as in 1S40. per
sist in their humbugs, hoping thereby to a
void all expressions of principle, and rely
again upon the excitements produced by
strong and ardent appeals to the lowest
and basest passions, of our nature. .
Thanks to the patriotism of the la'e
Democratic Convention, we now can rally
around a man, who is both able and will
ing to "carry the war into Africa." The
little hope the Whigs may have entertained
of discord in the Democratic ranks by the
course of Mr. Haywood in the Convention,
has been scattered to the four winds ot hea
ven, and has passed as an idle fancy. The
letter of that gentleman does equal credit
to his head and heart, and no man can say
that there is any distention in our parly
it was nevermore united, never more de
cided, and never more ready to act as one
man.
Congress. In the Senate, on the 1st
inst. the Retrenchment resolutions of Mr.
Clay were brought up, and are under dis
cussion. No action has yet been taken on
his resolutions for amending the constitu
tion. The considtration of the Exchequer
subject has been postponed till the 21st
inst.
In the House, the General Appropria
tion bill is the principal subject under con
sideration. Washington, Feb. 28.The twelfth
week of the session has passed away
without leaving behind it any trace upon
the statute-hook, although a" good deal of
business has been done in both Houses, and
much more would undoubtedly have been
done but for that dispensation of Providence
by which another member of Congress has
been cut off in the prime of his valuable life
and in the midst of his public usefulness.
The time given to decent mourning of this
sad 'event curtailed the week of one half of
its term, much of the residue of it having
been occupied in business of a preparatory
or initiatory character. The number and
variety of the Resolutions presented in
the House of Representatives on the single
day of this week, allotted to that purpose-,
afford remarkable proof .of how much
business there is for Congress to do. and
how. much more for it Jo inquire ' into, if
mere was time enough for it. But, were
Congress to sit every day, (Sunday except
ed,) from this day to the 4lh day of March,
o4j, there would be little hope of their ac
tiog upon half of the subjects already !
submitted to their consideration, which
every day may, however, he expected to
multiply, either in the form of Bills, Reso
lutions, or Reports.
As yet, the reader will have observed, or
at least ought to be aware, that in the House
of Representatives (in which body, unJer
the Constitution, all bills for raising are
venue must originate) no further advance
has been made towards the indispensable
measure of the Session the providing a
permanent Revenue, adequate to the wants
ofthe Government than the reference of
the question to two of its Committees.
This apparent tardiness is not a matter for
much surprise,, when the complexity and
uiiiiuiciltiis Ul LUC UCldlio VUllilctlCU VVlin a
proper investigation of this subject are con
jndcred. We mention i t here only to show,
J.nat, although m arly ihree months of the
JSessioo have elapsed, the really important
Dusinexs oj the iNahon has hardly yet been
approached. A long and arduous discussion
may be looked for, of course, upon the Tariff
bill, whenever u aoes cumc "tunc mc
House of Representatives, ana in me senate,
after it shall have passed the House; every
State and every district in every Mate, nav
incr its particular interests, which it will be
come the duty of its Representative to guard
and protect. We apprehend, therefore, that
we are still, in point of time, as well as in
point of fact, no further advanced than'lhe
threshold of the bession.
The Hill for apportionment of the Repre
sentatives in Congress under the new Cen
sus has received the go-by for the present,
and perhaps for months to come. The
State Legislatures have either all risen,
and, so much time having been suffered to
elapse without acting on it, there is no lon
ger anv obiect in precipitating a decision
iinon the measure. We sh ill in all proba
bility not hear of it again before midsum

TTWnoiher fuss is about to be kicked
up among official dignitaries Some per- '
son stole a letter from dov. Ponulexter,
at Washington, which had been addressed
to Mr. Clay and returned by him to Mr.
P. The letter contained so ne unpalatable
predictions as to the effect the veto ofj
Clay's Bank Bill would have upon Mr.
Tyler's popularity. Mr. Poindexler ac
cuses Mr. Curtis, Collector at New York,
who was lately7 in Washington, of mana
ging the transfer ofthe letter from one of
the Committee Rooms to the President.
Mr Curtis denies this, and thus the matter
is said to stand, at prewnt. ib.
Upshur vs. Bolls. The Secretary of
the Navy has replied to the letter of Mr.
Bolts, charging him with being an open
and unqualified advocate of disunion. He
dismisses the chief witness of Mr. Botls,
on the ground that he is a warm friend of
Mr. Botts, and a bitter unrelenting enemy
of his own; and then proceeds to show,
from his acknowledged writings, and from
the testimony of distinguished men in dif
ferent parts of Virginia, what where his
real opinions of the doctrine of disunion.
He proves, we think, conclusively, that his
opinions never went beyond nullification,
as it has been held by a large number of
American statesmen.

Alarms, Growing out of the Bank Op
pressions. The mutterings against the
oanks, which, it will be observed, attended
the meeting in Daltimore, (an account of
which we copy trom the Sun.) and those
"rumored" in the scrap which we cut fiom
the last New Orleans Courier, make it ap
parent that the late troubles at Cincinnati
have a tendency to become epidemic, from
one end of the Union to the other. The
present state of things every where seems
to leave no alternative but that the great
mass ot the people out ot the banks shall
submit to be robbed by a spurious paper
currency, really worthless, and gradually
wasting away in the hand o every holder;
or that the smaller portion ofthe commu-
nity, dipped in tbe banks, shall be sudden
ly overwhelmed by the exactions of the
corporations. If the present suspensions
is continued, the only effect will be to sac
rifice those who are exempt from bank
demands, simply to protract the inevitable
fate which awaits those who make up their
iGt of ilf htors. and to render that fate the
more deplorable the longer it is delayed
Sound policy, therefore, requires that there
hniiht hp an find of this susnense; that
there should be a reckoning all round; that
the banks should be compelled to liquidate
hich the community have
on them pay up their notes as far as lhy
have means, and set free the good currency
which they have locked up, and have time
given to complete the liquidation; and thai
the debtors of the banks should be indul
ged in the pay ment of their debts to the
hanks, by instalments, during the period
iriven the banks to wind up their concerns
The Legislature of Louisiana, in their late
bank law, have, we perceive, provided
gainst the mischiefs of a sudden pressure of
the debtors ot the bank now driven imo
rociimntinn r I- I in II i ft a 1 1 fltl Thev are to
nav a tenth of the debt by instalments giv
inn real security to make safe the delayed
C7 -
payments.
We see no other mode of relief for
the
debtor class of the community, (whether
banks or individuals,) than that of giving
time to create the means of payment, where
those indebted have them not in hand. U
the money does not exist in the country, to
meet the universal demand which must ne
cessarily follow from the State corporation
generally going into liquidation, nothing
cm be done by legislation to anoru reiiet,
but by giving time to industry to send its
products abroad, to bring back the means
ot navment. which has been Danisneu oy
the paper currency. The Bankrupt law
it is true, is the ready resource of all who
would abolish debts without paying them
but to the honest, who would pay thei
debts, and employ their property, not con
sistim? of money, to produce money to
meet their obligations, there is no relief in
a Bankrupt law. It sacrifices the debtor
who has capabilities of extrication, as
th
boy sacrificed the goose that bore the gold
en l ne 3taie iegisiaiures aione,
accommodating the remedies for the recov
ery of debt, to the exigencies which the
mad career of banking in which they have
indulged, can aflord any cure for the disor
ders produced. Congress has no power to
enter into such local legislation, and, if it
had, could not possibly adopt remedies for
the various local difficulties generated by
Slate legislation.
Nothing, therefore, ever was more de
ceptive than the hope held out of relief to
the country by Congressional financiering.
The issue of certificates, dollar for dollar,
on coin deposited in the Treasury, would
not add to the means of the indebted to
pay their debts. Treasury notes, unless
given away to the distressed debtor, would
not relieve his distresses. Exchanges
gnnied by the Government, on cash paid
down, would not supply an additional far
nrt o
in
thing to the means cf paying debts.
It is not the transfer of money, but the
money itself, that the country' wants, and
this, a National Bank, the great pana
cea of Federalism, could not produce with
out the philosopher's stone. It would on-
y create more paper money and more
oans, eating out like cancers the sub
stance of the land, and this would be only
adding the king's evil to the other com
plaints which already prey upon the body-
politic
Meeting at the Square. Another non
descript gathering took place last evening
in this square, the proceedings ol which
we can hardly describe. W ithout a regu
lar call, and without appointed speakers,
there happened, nevertheless, a meeting,
and some sensible speaking, and much se
rious debate, too, among the multitude, a
bout the currency and the other absorbing
topics which relate to it. The meeting
was large, and with the right sort of guid
ance might have been turned to good ac
count in furtherance ofthe main object, viz:
the resumption of specie payments by the
banks, through the action of the Legisla
ture. Alter the adjournment, the persons
composing the meeting moved off, but stop
ped in Lalvcrt street, which was filled
from Monument Square to Baltimore street.
I-he principal point of pressure was, how
ever, the lottery and exehange offices of
Heisler & Co. and Emory & Co. In front
of these offices, (for what especial reason
we know not,) many demonstrations of
dissatisfaction were made. In a short time
thereafter, the Mayor appeared at the door
ot the office ot Heisler & Co. and address
ed the crowd, lie warned them cf the
consequences of any illegal violence, and
exhorted them to be peaceable. He told
them that so long as they pursued a peace
able and legal course for the redress of
their grievances, they would have his sym
pathies and those of a large majority ofthe
community with them; but they must not
trespass on the rights or the property of
others, or in any way violate the law: and
if they should do so, or attempt to do so,
tney wouiu nnu an overwhelming maiori
ly oi uie peopie oi milimore opposed to
them, and he intimated in away that must
have been understood, that illegal violence
would not be permitted. After the con
clusion of i,he Mayor's address, the crowd
continued f$r some time, but did nothing
very particular except cry fire and make a
noise, after which they dispersed. -

Vegetable Life Pills
And Plicnix Bitters.
npHESE Medicines are indebted fof
their name to their manifest and sen
sible action in purifying the springs and
channels ol. life, and enduing them with
renewed lone and vigor, and to the un
doubted fact that at a very early period
111 tueir History mey had rescued sufferers
from ihe very verge of an untimely gravef
Iter all the deceptive nostrums of the
day, prescribed by physicians, had utter
ly lulled, 111 which cases tbey also perma
nently secured that uniform enjoyment of
health, without which life itsell is but a
partial blessing. So great indeed had
their efficacy invariably proved, that i(
was scarcely less than miraculous to those
-who were unacquainted with the beauti
fully philosophical principles upon which
ihey were compounded, and upon which
I hey consequently act.
The following are among the distress
ing variety of human "diseases, to whicfj
Tlic Vegetable Life Pills
Are well known to be infallible;
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleans
ing l he firsi and second stomachs, and
creating a flow of pure healthy bile, in
stead of ihe siale and acrid kind: blatu
lency, Palpitation of the heart. Lost of
appetite, heart-burn and headache, rest'
tissness, ill temper, anxirty, languor and
melancholy, which are ihe general symp
toms of Dyspepsia, will vanish as a natural
cons queute of its cure. Costive?iess, by
cleansing ihe whole length of the intes
tines with a solvent prucess and without
violence; all violent purges leave the
bowels costive within iwo days. Diarr
hcen and cholera, by removing the sharp
acrid fluids hy which these complaints are
occasioned, and by promoting ihe lubri
cative secretions of ihe mucous mem
brane. Fevers of all kinds, by restoring
ihe blood to a regular circulaiion through
the process of perspiration in some cases,
and ihe thorough solution of all intestinal
obstructions in others.
The JLife Medicines
Have been known to enre Rheumatism
permanently in three weeks, and Goutin
half that time, by removing local inflam
mation from the muscles and ligaments of
the joints. Dropsies 0 al! kinds, by free
ing and strengthening the kidneys and
bladder; they operate most delightfully
on those important organs, and hence
have ever been found a certain remedy for
the worst cases of gravel Also Worms,
by dislodging from the turnings of the
bowels the sliinv matter to which these
creatures adhere; Asthma and consump
tion, by relieving the air vessels of ihe
ungs from the mucus, which even slight
olds will occasion, which if not removed
becomes hardened, and produces those
dieadful diseases. Scurvy, Ulcers, and
inveterate Sores, bv the nerfect nuritv

or by two, even in ihe worst cases. rW
as a remedy for this most distressing &
obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life PH
deserve a distinct and enrmhntic recom
mendation, h is well known to hundreds
in the city of New Yrk, that the origina
tor of these invaluable Pills was himself
afflicted with this complaint for upward
"(thirty five years, and thai he tried i
vain every remedy prescribed within ine
whole comnass of h Mtfrin Medica.
He however, at length, tried the Medicine
which he now offers to the public, and he
was cured in a very short time, after hi
recovery had been pronounced not only
improbable, bm absolutely impossible, by
any human means.
All that Mr. Moffat reanires of his pa
tients is to be particular in taking the Life
.yeuiciues strictly according lo ihe diret
tions. It is not by a newspaper nolice,of
hy any thing that he himself may say to
Iheir favor, that he hopes to gain credit. I
is alone by the results of a fair trial.
In addition the numerous testimonials
in their favor, which accompany the above
medicines, many references in this vicint
ty of their beneficial effects can be givej
on application to the subscriber, who ot"
fers them for sale.
