Rheumatism, Gout, and Tic Doulou
reux. A rcspectabls gentleman called at
our office, as he said, to inform us that he
had been afflicted for fifteen years with
Rheumatism ; or Gout, and occasionally
vith Tic Douloureux; that he has been
frequently confined to his room for months
together, and often suffered the most in
tense and excruciating pains; .but that late- j
y he had been using Jayxe's Altera
tive, from which he found the most sig
nal "and unexpected relief. "He says' he
found the medicine very pleasant and ef
fective, and that he now considers himself
thoroughly cured.SpiriLof the Times.
Life! Life!! LiJeH!
, "All that a man hath will he. give for
his life," so. we find recorded in the most
ancient and best of books, but as wc see
thousands dying around us with Consump
tion, Croup, Cough, Asthma, Hronchitis,
Spitting blood, and other pulmonary af
fections, we are led to doubt the correct
ness of the above assertion, especially since
it is so well known that a certain remedy
may be obtained, which always arrests
those diseases.
Dr. J aynl'j Expectorant never fails
to give relief, and cures after every oilier
means have failed. This can be and has
been proved in thousands of instances,
where it has effected radical cures, after
the patient hid been given up by all his
friends and physicians.
Jayne's Sanative Pills.
Though not recommended as a universal
scure all," liave nevertheless proved su
perior to every thing of the kind, especi
ally in LivEft Complaint and Dyspepsia;
and when used in conjunction with his
tonic Vermifuge or Alterative, will not
fail one time in an hundred, of effecting a
permanent cure.

ago, the intervening period of my life has'
been almosttwholly passed in the service :
of my country, and has been marked by j
many vicissitudes and attended with many
trying circumsiaces, bolb-in peace and
war. If my conduct in these situations,
t .1 . 1 t 1 11 'i
and the opinions I have been called upon
to form and express, from time to time, in
relation to all the great party topics of the
day, do not furnish' a cleafex position of
my views 'respecting them, and at the
same time a sufficient pledge of my faith
ful adherence to their practical applica
tion, whenever and wherever I may be re
quired to act, any thing further ! might
now say, would be mere delusion, unwor
thy of myself,Jand justly offensive to the
great party in vvhose name ycu arefnow
acting.
My immediate predecessor in the nomi
nation by the democratic party, who -has
since established so many claims to the re
gard and confidence of his countrvf when
announcing, four ears ago, his acceptance
of a srmilar htjnor announced also Iris de
termination not he a candidate for re
election; Coinciding J with; IKiov? in this
view, so well expressed, and so faithfully
carried out, I bee; leave to say, that no cir-
cumstances' can pdssibly : arise, ! which
would induced nie agaiii lo permit my
name to be brought forward in connexion
with the chief magistracy of our country.
My inclination and- my scrise of duly
equally dictate this course. ; J -
Jo party, gentlemen, had ever higher
motives for1 exertion,1 than ; has' the great
democratic: party of the United States.
iWith an abidirig confidenceTin the recti
lude of our principles, with an unshaken
reliance upon ,the energy and wisdom rof
public opinion, and with the sucefss wliich
has crowned the administration of the go-
vernment, when committed to its keeping;
(and it has been so committed during more
than three-fourths of its existence,) what
has been done, is at once the reward of
past exertion and the motive for. future,
and, at the same time, a guarantee for'the
accomplishment of what we have to do.
We cannot conceal from ourselves that
there is a powerful party in the country,
differing from us in regard to many of the
fundamental principles of our govern
ment, and opposed to us in their practical
application, which will strive as zealously
as we shall, to secure the ascendency of
their principles, by securing the election
of their candidate in the coming contest.
That party is composed of our fellow citi
zens, as deeply interested in the prosperity
of our common country as wc can be, and)
seeking as earnestly as wc arc to promote
and perpetuate it. We shall soon present
to the world the sublime spectacle of the
election of a Chief Magistrate by twenty
millions of people, without a single seri
ous resistance to the laws, or the sacrifice
of the life of one human being and this,
too, in the absence of all force but the
moral force of our institutions; and if wc

As a partr, we ought not to mistake
the signs of the times; but should bear in
mind, that this is ah age of progressof
advancement in all the elements of intel
lectual power, and in the opinions: of the
world.' The general government should
assume no .powers. It should exercise
none which have not been clearly granted
by the parties to the federal compact. We
ought to construe the constitution strictly;
according to the received nnd sound prin
ciples of the Jefferson school. But while
rash experiments should he deprecated, if
the government is stationary, in, its princi-;
pies of action, and refuses to accommodate
its -measures, within--; its. constitutional
sphere- cautiously; indeed ut.wisely and
