Raleigh, October, 1839. 52 4t It IS AD AND PROFIT ! THE following Letter from the Hon. Beverly Tccjcait, Professor of Law in William & Mary College, Virginia, was recently received, and affords very strong evidence of the efficacy of Beck with s Anti-Dyspeptic Pills, in the disease for which they were designed : Lee's Springs, Virginia, Aug. 7th, 1839. Sir: An accidental meeting with a friend of yours has determined me to offer you the acknowledge ments which I hare long felt to be due from me, for the benefits I have received at your hands. Four teen years ago I was left by a most malignant fever with a diseased liver, a disordered digestion, and a constitution in ruins. My Physicians permitted me to hoyie that with care and prudence I might drag on a few years ot precarious existence, and assured me that the least indiscretion must be fatal. Soon afterwardf I found myself becoming dyspeptic, and became acquainted with all that indescribable mise ry which dyspeptics alone can know. This, as usu al, grew upon me, though less rapidly than inmost cases, because a consciousness of my danger put me on my guard, and experience had made me familiar with the proper management of myself. By the constant use of the most approved remedies the pro gress of the disease was retarded, and my life was made tolerable, but not comfortable. ' I rarely ate two meals in'regular succession, and for some hours of almost every day, was incapable of any exercise of thought or feeling. A peevish impatience of ex istence occupied my whole mind. Two years ago I met with your Anti-dyspeptic Pills, and confiding in the accompanying certificates of respectable gentlemen whom I happened to know I took them according to directions. The result is that I new eat what I please, do what I p!ease,sleep soundly, and enjoy life as much as any man living, Your young friend, who has been with me a week. will tel you that he has never seen my strength or spirits flag, or my elasticity of mind or body fail for a moment. For this it gives me pleasure to say you have my thanks, and to add the assurance my high respects. B, Dr. Beckwith. TUCKER. 49 ICT IVlorus Multicaulis.

From the Fayetteville Observer, Mr. Hale: A' late number of the Standard at Raleigh, contains a communi cation from the Hon. Wm. Montgomery, of the Raleigh District, of a character which constrains me to submit a few re marks on it. The first part of this address the Doctor devotes to the examination of what he terms a forjrery, purporting to be his letter of the 23d 'June, to V. F. Leak, Esq. With this part of the address I have nothing to do. But after disposing of it in a manner suited to his own taste, the Doctor makes a furious attack on me, by pronouncing one or two sentences contain ed in my letter of the 18th July last, to the Editor of the Observer, as "false and utterly untrue." The Doctor is certainly one of the last men who ought to complain of false state ments and false charges, as I think the sequel will show. Being fully satisfied of the truth of every statement which that let ter contains, I will briefly recur to the cir cumstances which caused its publication. me time in May last, (though we had served four years in Congress together and were on friendly term3f) the Doctor com menced ari unprovoked attack on me, by writing a letter to the buitor ot the Worth Carolinian, which he expected would have been kept a secret, detailing charges a gainst me, and couched in such terms as to convey the impression clearly, that I had voted for all the appropriation bills for 1838 except the Harbour .bill and one other, and to enable the Editor to put Morris ( my competitor) on the proper track, he gave a list of ten of the principal bills, referring to certain pages of the Journal, and says, ' In the Journal, Deberry, is only record ed against the Harbour bill, and adds, " How can he get over these votes?" He then refers to Document No. 464, and says ' Strange has it and can furnish it to you for Morris, and the references of pages will enable him to prpve before the people the facts. "In the month of June, the Doctor wrote a letter to W. F. Leak, Esq. of Richmond county, a copy of which has been published in his late address. In that letter he again asserts that I had only vo ted against one bill, (the Harbour Bill,) out of the appropriations for 1838, and gives him a lesson of instruction how to operate against me m the Jack Cade mode of electioneering with which he succeed ed against Baninger, &c. These letters were used, against me with great industry bjn my competitor and his nends, during the late canvass, and in de- ending myself against the charges contain ed in them, I wrote my letter of the 18th uly, showing the Doctor s statements to be untrue, and to rebuke his indecent and officious interference in the elections of other districts than his own. In this letter I slated, that If I had vo ted for all the appropriations, I might still ave been blameless, as the administration had not only called for that sum, but for a much larger amount than was actually granted. In reference to this part of my etter, the Doctor says, I pronounce that part of this letter charging the administra tion with having called for 58 millions and more for the service of the year 1838, false and utterly untrue, upon the authority of the public records, for the)' show that 22 millions only were asked for by the esti mates of that year, and I send this record with this letter to the Standard Office, with the Document marked, and ask all to call and see it. It is No. 497 vol. 6. Sen ate Doc. 2d Session 25th Congress. " The Doctor also states that this docu ment has been delivered to me at the peo ple's expense, and is now in my possess ion ; but he does riot say at whose expense his documents were delivered to him. with those he sent into my District to influence the election. But after the Doctor's hectoring and blus tering about this Document No. 497, which he has marked and sent to the Standard Office and invited all to call and see it, it turns out to be the wrong document, and does not contain a word about the appro priations for 1838, but merely shows the aggregate amount of annual estimates of the Secretary of the Treasury from the year 1823 to 1837 inclusive. He should there fore send to the Standard Office and lake back his Doc. No. 497, and send in its place Doc. No. 4, 1st vol. of Executive Documents, 2d Session of the 25th Con gress, and invite the people to call again. In this document, we have the estimates for 1838 in detail, amounting to $20, 523, 249 19, which is something less than the amount the Doctor has referred to in Doc. 497, which was for 18S7 ; but it is my purpose to get at the truth, and to give the Doctor the full benefit of his untenable po sition, which I will now briefly examine. He assumes the position, that the esti mates made by the Secretary of the Trea sury for 1838, and sent to Congress in De cember, 1837, contain all the' appropria tions that were called for by the adminis tration for that year; and my letter is de-j nounced by him as false in staling mat tne administration called for more than 38 mil lions for that year. The Doctor then seems to consider the Secretary of the Treasury alone to be the Administration ; and there lies the fallacy of his position. The President then had a majority in both Houses of Congress, and certainly the President's majority in both r K Houses, who passed the appropriation bills, all the rest, and it is incredible than any and tfie President himself who approved body but a maniac could have made it. So and signed them, fcfrraed more of the tad- far from ray being recorded for a much ministration than the Secretary of the Trea- larger amount than called for by the adrain sury : and as they jpassed,- approved, and jistration, I am recorded on ihe Journals as signed, all the appropriation biHs for 1838, ; voting for only one million of dollars of arnountiigto $38,413,464 87, it may tru- Uhe appropriations,, which will be seen ou ly be saiU that the administration called for page 309 House Journal 2d session. But thatsumi( and upou an examination of the perhaps the Hon. Gentleman takes shelter Secretary's estimates for 1838, it will be in, making this assertion under his new ax seen tliat he called for thirty or forty appro- i iom in parliamentary law, ( That All priatiojis more than were actually granted t members who do not record their names a by Congress, for Roads, Surveys, Internal J gainst a measure are recorded forf it,"j Improvements, Salaries, and other expen- which was never heard of before, and pro ses, wilich may be -seen by examining and bably never will be again; for it is as untrue comparing that Document with the appro- as it is foolish, and ridiculous.

(proposition, unless he could prevpil on one But 'the Secretary of the Treasury him-! fifth of the House to order the-' ayes turd self, and other Heads of Departments, often jnoes, and thus place a small minority iii a v.n nj, oppi wjj lauuns in nie tuuiac ui uic i Session which were not included iu the es timates made by the Secretary of the Trea sury at the beginning of the Session 4 and the Committee of Way 6 and Means, in their conferences with them, often receive additional estimates from them on the seve ral branches of expenditure, requiring a con siderable increase of appropriations. The estimates of the Secretary of the Treasury for 1838, do not call for the $7, 139,410 41 which Congress appropriated for that year for the suppressing Indian hostilities. Will the Doctor have the har dihood to say thi3 was not called for by the administration ? The estimates call for only 164,086 98 for the service of the General Post Office, but Congress appropriated 4,694,000 for that purpose. (Will the Gentleman say this excess was not calletl fur by the ad ministration ? The estimates do not call for the 625, 500 for the protection of the Northern fron tier. It was granted by Congress, and will he say it was not called for by the adminis tration ? "The estimates do not include the 724, 505 for carrying into effect the act to in crease the Army; yet it was granted by Congress, and will he say it was not called for by the administration ? The estimates do not include, 1,482,215 73 which Congress granted for the Indian department, more than was called for in the estimates for carrying into effect Indian treaties, &c. Will the Doctor deny that this was called for by the administration? The estimates do not include an excess of appropriation for the Navy of 376,384 12, which was granted by Congress. Will he say this was not called for by the admin istration ? These several sums make an aggregate of 15,477, 928 28, not included in the es timates for that year, and being added to the amount of estimates, 20,523,249 19, making the -sum of 36,001,177 .47. Many other sums might be enumerated in like manner, to make up the 38 millions and more ; which were doubtless most of them recommended by some of the Departments, and passed at their instance. All the records and documents showing the facts above stated I have carefully ex amined and marked, and though I cannot send them to the Standard Office, as the Doctor says he has sent his, they are rea dy for examination of any person who will look at them. These facts show conclu sively thejtruth of the statement in my let ter. " That the administration had not only called for the sums which were ap propriated, but for a much larger sum than, was actually grauted," the Doctor's vulgar denunciations to the contrary notwith standing. I In the Doctor's second count against me he says, I4 1 also pronounce lalse and un true, his statement in the letter that my ref erences to the Journal were upon examin ation found every one to be false, thereby inducing the people to believe that I had made a false statement to operate on his election." Here the Hon. Gentleman has made a false quotation from my letter, that he might have a pretext for declaring it to be false. There is no such passage in my letter ; I never have charged that his mere references to pages in the Journal were untrue, but have, on the contrary, shown them to be true so far as to show that the bills had passed the House. But I have always charged, and now charge, that they were , untrue so far as they were made to show that I voted for the bills ; for the pages referred to in the Journal do not show that I voted for a jingle bill contained in his list of references. I do further charge that his statement iriade in both his letters before mentioned, that I am only recorded as voting against one bill (the Harbour bill) is untrue, and lean prove it by the Journals, which show that I am recorded against five bills, and refer for proof to House Journal 2d session of 25th Coneress, pages 805, 889, 1043, 1239, and Journal of extra session page 180. I hope the Doctor will mark these pages ou his Journal, and send it to the Standard office, and invite the people to call and see it. Again the Doctor say, " I refer to the Journals to show that the Hon. E. Deber ry is recorded for a much larger amount than called for by the administration for the year 1838." . This statement of the Doctor's surpasses siumuuii iu uuinnci lllcm lO VOie Willi a large majority. It w,ould also place every man as voting in the majority who might be confined to his room by sickness. Such seem to be the miserable shifts to which the Gentlemen must resort to bolster up statements which are notoriously untrue. The Doctor, in the conclusion of his ad dress, expressed his regret that I should by my leiterhave compelled him to defend himself by the public records, from a false charge in, my letter against him and the administration. And how has he defended himself and the administration? It has been by referring to but one document, and that contains not a word, letter, or figure about the appropri ations for 1838, (the matter in controversy.) Wonderful defence! and , well worthy of such a cause ! and a defence made too by a champion of the administration a bull dog of the party who stands ready to as sail with charges of falsehood every citizen who may justly complain of the extrava gance of the administration, and ready to make the people believe ( if they can be so humbugged) that the administration is only asking one half of what they expend, and that the Whigs are voting excess of appropriations. Respectfully. E. DEBERRY. Laivrenceville, Oct. 29, 1839. PARTY ORGAxIZATIO We have long been of opinion, that the most effective mode of organizing a party, and infusing into it a spirit of zeal and en- ergy would be through the medium of County or District Addresses, where the metnbers of the Committee are personally known to the great mass of voters. In Ad dresses of this kind, brevity and plainness of Speech (two essential requisites in such documepts) may more easily be adopted, and facts thus stated will make a more en during impression, because they are com municated by individuals, whose character for veracity is known and annreciated. in the sphere within which their operations are confined. These remarks have been suggested by the following Adikess, which we find in the Wilmington Papers, and which explains itself : To the Whigs of the fifth Congressional District of North Carolina, composed of the counties of New Hanover, Brunswick, Bladen, Columbus, Duplin, Sampson and Onslow : The undersigned, having been appointed at a re cent meeting of the Whigs of New Hanover County, a Committee of Vigilance and Correspondence, would respectfully address themselves to their Wftig brethren of the fifth Congressional District. Being, by the provisions of the Statute, constituted for it 111 some degree, an independent and united portion of the people for election purposes, as thereby a com munity of interests eiists, so should there be a fel lowship in feeling, an agreement in sentiment, and a coincidence in -action. To effect these desirable objects is the motive for the present address. As members of the Whig party we all claim to be Republicans, friends of the Constitution, lovers of our common country. In pme attachment to all our Institution, we will grant to no set of men a superiority, and it is because vie feel that we possess that attachment, that we have arrayed ourselves as a party. As we accuse none of dishonesty of pur pose, merely for differing in sentiment or action from us, so we claim, in all fairness, that our oppo nents should grant us an integrity of purpose. And indeed why should it be otherwise? We are all embarked on board the same ship of Suite, aud common destiny awaits us. It is true, we have no right to create a mutiny against the present Com manders, but we have a right, it is a solemn duty, to mark their conduct, scrutinize tbeir ability, as certain their competency, and, if we deem them de ficient, elect new Officers when their term of ser vice has expired. ... ' And this is precisely what the Whig party would effect. They believe that, the General Government is a government of defined and limited powers ; su preme indeed within its own proper sphere, but to j be made impotent when acting without that sphere, j or else the distinction of Constitutional liberty roust ; cease. They believe that, each branch of the Gen- j eral Government should preserve and exercise just the powers granted to it andnomore.nd that these are plainly allotted to the Executive, Legislative and Judicial departments by most explicit Constitutioo- f al provisions. They believe that, the public prop erly is to be bolden'and managed and its avails ap pi upisaiiiit. for the common good of the whole peo ple, and that the public Treasure should be collect ed and disbursed with the most rigid economy. They believe that, Public Offices are to be exercis ed for the public good, and ought to be filled by honest, faithful and competent incumbents. They believe, that the elective franchise ought to be uee from the influence arid control of Government Pat rnmirt. ami exercised, cnawed by power, uncon laminated by bope of reward. In fine, they believe that, an exposition ot these Constitutional princi ples is to be found in the Administration of Wash ington and those who " deemed it sufficient glory to tread in the footsteps of such an illustrious prede cessor." Such being the principles of the W'hiir party, as men and patriots, they are bound to sustain and enforce them, particularly at this juncture of nation al existence. For they believe that these principle are neglected, impugned, and trampled on. In that, the present Administration is arrogating to itself powers not granted by the Constitution ; by claiming the right to destroy institutions enacted fcy the States, either by indirectly controlling their management or directly subverting them by a gene ral bankrupt law ; a term of well known technical signification, having no reference to corporate bodies, but only to individual mercantile transactions. In. that, the President of the United States,without au thority of law, has virtually taken into hit own con trol the public Treasure, holding the monstrous doctrine that, the Government is an cuit and that unit himself; requiring all subordinate officers to -yield 'obedience to his mandates, under the pain and penalties of his displeasure and tbeir dismissal from office, thereby prostrating legislative action, and trampling over judicial authority, and debasing the personal independence of the subordinate public servant. In that, it is contended that the Pobue Lands, procured by common peril or the common Treasure, are individual State property and ought to be surrendered to State management and disposi tion. In that, the most wanton extravagance has marked the course of the present Administration, the expenses of Government having been increased from thirteen to THinTi-siitB Miiuoif ,0? doi 1.1 hs ; and that the expenses of collecting the pub lie revenue have, in many instances, quadrupled. In that. Public Office have been made the rewards to zealous partizans, and members of Congress se duced from their stations to fill Foreign Missions, influential Stat officers induced to occupy lucrative offices and rejected candidates before the people made Chiefs and Rulers over them. In that, in cumbents in office have been continued when they were known to be large public defaulters, in direct violation of positive legislative provision. In that, " the patronage of the Government is brought into conflict with freedom of elections," by portions of the salaries of Public Officers being required to be appropriated to eleciion purposes, and such appro priation justified and applauded by leading support ers of the Administration. - In fine, in that, the pure principles of the early days of the Republic are forgotten or abandoned, and in the language of an x' influential and official journal of the native State of the President, and agreeing with him in his views of public policy 4 The sword and the purse are uni ted m his hands." Such then are the principles and such the opin ions of the Whig party. They were not formed for the present day, but for the foundation of Amer ican freedom. For them, our Fathers fought enjd bled and triumphed, leaving them to our most sa cred guardianship. With these principles, it was our father's pride and boast to have stood, and with tliem we wish to fall, if fall they must, and with them alonk do we wish to jusB." 1 ' But to establish And continue them, and to arrest the ihreatentng evH8Tvhfc1rTrray towef-wrrr-wov common country, requires unity of design, and nut ty of action, which, aloue, can ensure successful and desired results. Although, we may believe that truth is great aud will prevail, yet we must remem ber thnt, it is a law, not only of physical., but of our moral and intellectual nature that, means are essen- -tial to the production of ends. Even the sublime truths, the animating hopes, the' holy consolations of Religion, which are declared shatl'bccome the " saving health to all nations," are to be promulga ted and enforced by appropriate human agency. Go teacli," " Go preach" were the injuuctioru . , and had these not been followed, to the shepherds in the plains of Judea, would have been confined the annunciation of the message of 'tgood will to man." If therefore, we wUh for the general pre valence of what we deem, correct political princi ples, we must be active in promulgating them, in stant in enforcing them, zealous in sustaining them, fearless, but temperate, in defending them. Being " ail brethren of the same principles,' we should seek to att iin our common object by the most closely united action. To this consummation then we invite the Whigs of this District to give their aid, and we most respectfully, but earnestly entreat them U meet in their respective counties, wherever it has not already been done, and appoint such Committees and Agencies as will present them as an organized body, to be conferred with by others, and ready to orginate and execute such measures es may be deemed expedient to ensure the triumph of Whig principles. As Wilmington, the most central in location, af fords great facilities of intercourse with all parts of the District, the undersigned will be pleated at all times, freely to communicate with their Whig breth ren of the several counties ; and do now solicit infor mation of any Committees appointed or which.may be appointed by the Whigs of the several counties. Urging again upon the Whigs, in every part of the District, to organize for efficient action, and trusting, if efforts corresponding lo the importance of the crisis, are perseveringly followed, the gloom which may now overspread our prospects will .gi place to. the pure and cloudless light of truth, the undersigned will only add that, they trust xysm,T Whig will feel that it 1 his country whjch caHf hirn to action Ja her hour of need.
