,7b the Public. I certify that before
my remembrance I became afflicted with
what, the Physicians called Scrofula. It
made its first appearance by pain and swel
ling of the joints more especially of my
ankles, knees, wrists and elbows, after
which the glands of my throat and neek
became inflamed & swelled, attended with
most excruciating pains. I was often
confined entirely to my bed, and for weeks
together could not move my neck or turn
my head. . Several physicians attended me
at different, times but they did not appear
to do me any good.-
About a vear ago I -was- attacked with.

A Free Soil meeting Was held at Cane

the 16th inst., at which the leading princi

of said Platform and of the election of
Martin Van Buren and Charles F. Adams
called at Jamestown, on the 10th October
next, to forman Electoral Tii uei &c. arid
fifty delegates appointed by the chairman
to said Convention.
The proceedings' of this meeting were
forwarded to our paper, with a request to
publish, which was declined, as noticed in
last number. We chose not to a imit an
original publication of thismnvement, when ;
there were two newspapers, Ucmocrntie
