OBSTINATE COUGHS,
Colds, Asthmas, 8fC* are immediately relieved and
speedily cured by the use of Hamiltons Elixir.
Dear bought experience has taught thousands
that oily and healing medicines, joined with
strong opiates or sleepy drugs, repeated doses of
which flatter and deceive the patient for the pre
sent, by procuring momentary ease ; experience,
1 say, has taught thousands, that the common
opiates and balsamics, as they are called, finally
aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs,
in their most distressing symptoms: that they
load the stomach and impair the digestion, in
flame the whole system, increase the difficulty of
breathing and excite fever. But the qualities of
this valuable discovery, are evinced by perfectly
opposite effects- A single trial will prove, that
it restores the determination of the fluids to the
surface if the body, and brings on the
healthf il perspiration, that it dislodges and eva
the tough viscid phlegm or mucus,
ouates
streng hens the weakened vessels of the lungs,
sheatl es the acrimonious humor which irritates
them and finally discharges it. Thus striking
at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of
effectually and permanently conquered,
tourse
the reverse of common medicines which weaken
thç constitution and gives strength to the disor
der for the sake of moderating for the present
some of the painful effects.
To Parents who bave children afflicted with
the hooping cough, this discovery is of the first
magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks
the grogress.and in a short time entirely remove
the most cruel disorder to which children are
The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and

ihe dose so small that no difficulty crises in ta
king it.
Mr. Abdijab Henly, Bridge street, Baltimore,
was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir, ol
a very complicated disorder occasioned by a very
severe cold caught several months ago. He
breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was
often thrown into weakening sweats when he
attempted to walk any distance, and his voice
■would frequently fail in such a degree that he
could only attempt to whisper. He has been
upwards of six weeks without a return of his
complaints ; and desires to give his public testi
mony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Being desirous to make public for the good of
Others the excellent quality of Hamilton's Elixir
prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you
the following account of the benefit I have re
ceived from it ; which 1 hope will induce others
to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on
the breast received from a fall, my health grew
had, my breathing became very difficult, and
frequently 1 have had suddenly to rise up in my
bed with all lire horrnrB of immediate suffocation.
Add to these, a constant pain in my breast, and
a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and
you may conceive that my symptoms evidently
indicated an approaching consumption. T he
advice of a most eminent physician was resorted
to, and afterwards a second was called in, but
without giving me any relief. Another physi
cian, who knew roe and the circumstances ot my
case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a tri
al, saying, he had used it in his practice, and al
ways found it do much good. A bottle was
procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief
before 1 had taken half of it. I continued to use it
gh to attend to my bu
and was soon stron v

f comply with your request in stating my opin
ion of Hamilton's Elixir,
It has been nsed iu
my farnrii for two or tèree years past, with uni
form success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar
complaints, have rendered medicine necessary.
I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable
remedy for a very painful and troublesome affec
tion of the breast, accompanied with soreness,
and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On there accounts I do not hesitate to recom
mend Hamilton's Elixir
as a valuable
and deserving public, attefitiou.

THE STRANGER.
Written on a Desert Island in a Gale.
Here the wavet on Jekyl breaking,
Raging, howling, beat the shore
See the oak's grey locks are shaking,
Hear the stormy north-east roar.
Now the moon, from clouds emerging
Emits a pale and transient Çéartfj,
Where the waves round Jekyl ^ging^
Reflect the camp-fires fond/ g fcairi v *
See the stranger, faint andVeäry,
Rest him here from tod and cat'« ;
Sleeps he in a place so dreavy ?
Sleeps he in the open air ?
Sound he sleeps, the sand Ida pillow*
Secure he rests him any where a
Though reposing on the billow
In the strife of nature's war.
Though round his head the lightnings ftailt
And opening thunders lengthening roai/
Though at his feet the rived oaks crash,!
1 And the tall pine trees strew the short/
In. vain shall countless perils face him, ?
2« V ain shall danger's arm be bared, j
Perils— dangers—*vafn must chase him,;
r'ôf a pot ent spell's his guard.
On his head a father's fca.-ing,
On his cheek a mother's tear,
When last caress'd, again caressing,
Pure affection drops it there.
Though the arid waste be dreary,
Though the moon's pale light begone,
Yet the stranger's soul is cheery,
Tet he rests him here till morn,
See the sleeping stranger smiling,
See the tear drop gathering there ;
'Tis a dream of home beguiling
Him from sorrow and fromc are
'national standard.
(Under this title, a series of esàays, address
ed to the people- have lately appeared in
the Aurora. They breath the spirit of
independence, the confidence of
recti
tude, and the energy of patriotism. They
address themselves to the understanding,
and to the heart. They arc desultory,
rather than studied, and convey the ardor
of an enthusiastic mind. But one
subject
has been discussed and one
principle
maintained : the justice of the American
cause, and the necessity of its defence.
The following is the fourth number ; it
embraces the principal arguments of those
which preceded it,]
Tristes utriræ -—
EtrialtL tirbibus ultiuta ;
Stetere causæ our périrent
Fundïius, iniprimeretque mûris
Hostile aratrum exercitus insolens.
Hon.
And angry parties rage
•liatli been the cause
why lofty cities bowed the head : and inso
lent with conquest, why the foe hath drove
the plough-share o'er the ruined walls.
My preceding numbers have anti
cipated some of the considerations
which, if I wrote with more method,
would have properly found their place
in this. It was not easy to arcid
sketching some of our present evils
while I endeavored to shew the probu
bility of their continuance. I might
here resume the subject, and enicr
ing into long details, demonstrate
those losses which are but too severe
ly felt. I might swell my paper with
a list of capture* anti detentions, of
ransoms, burnings, and the different
forms of national exaction and indivi
dual rapacity But I confess a repug
nance to this part of my task. Is it
necessary that I should pursue it ? Do
you feel that I insult you my country
men, when I persuade you to pay to
interest what you owe to honor; when
I suppose it necessary to enlist the
most sordid motives in the purest
cause, to hire you to be independent,
and calculate for you the wages of pa
triotism that I may entice you into its
service ? Do you resent this as an in
dignity ? Do you reproach me with
calumniating your character, under
valuing your spirit and doubting with
faata V i a si— n—w www ——w— w ..
out cause your disinterested love of
country ? If so, my work is done. I
acknowledge with pride that you arc
worthy of the name by which I have
addressed you. To you tlie stand
I A8D of your nation will not be rais
ed in vain. You who have inherited
the spirit of your fathers—to you
your country looks for defence, and in
vour virtues she beholds the germ
A hat is to regenerate, revive, and in
vigorate her sinking fame.
I know that there are some (too few
I fear) who understand this language.
But there are many who would listen
to roe with pleasure, and imagine I
gave them serious advice, if l addres
sed them with the ironical exclamati
on of the poet :
O Cives! Cives ! Quœrcnda prîmum est
Virtus puât uummos.
And I am sensible of the ridicule
to which among this class of readers,
I expose ray self, by venturing out as
the advocate of antiquated patriotism,
and the good old principles of the re
volution, On these I keep my eye
constantly and reverently fixed. They
have inspired me wuh an hat red of op
pression, taught me the futility of any
reliance but in our own exertion to
resist it—and convinced me that the
paths of honor only, are those which
lead to peace and safety. A firm con
viction of these truths has iarrnëcîrhy
judgment on the measures which
ought at this juncture to be pursued.
Immediate war does not, as I have
said, form any pari of my plan. On
the contrary, I am persuaded that if
peace is to be secured, such steps as
I have recommended can alone pre«
serve it.
We have with both the belligerents
just cause of war. Shall we use coer
cive measure* as to both ! Tiw
run
nowned knight of La Mancha would
scarcely himself propose it. The ob
ject of war is to assert right, or to
procure an indemnity for wrong.—
Hostilities would be inhuman, and
1 war manifestly unjust, if these could
be honorably attained without re*
course to arms. Admitting then both
the warring powers to be aggressors
in the same degree, if by forcibly as
serting our rights against one, can
obtain voluntary reparation from the
other, it would be worse than mad
ness to assume an hostile attitude a
gainstBoth. Apply these propositions
(and they appear self-evident) to the
present case. By coercing one of the
rival nations can we obtain justice
from the other ? And does this apply
indifferently to both ? The enquiry
important, but it is easily discus
ite.-'
Wi h France we have an heavy,
count of inroads on our neutral : ;/
to settle. With England- in at'
to the same charges relative to com
merce and spoliation, we have seve
ral other items of high national im
portance. The capture of a public
ship in our seas—the unatoned mur
deaof our citizens—the impressment
of some thousands oT our seamen—
their detention in spite of remon
strance—and the asserted right to
continue the practice. We have the
refusal to perform a solemn compact,
Sethe.insult of a minister/vhicli may or
may not be avowed by his court.
The intrinsic difficulty of adjnsiina'
e
these points of dispute would of it
self present much greater obstacles
to arrangements on the one side than
on ihe other ; even if there were
professions of a desire, and those
assurances sincere,to surmount them
But here we are not perplex'd with
any enquiry into the sincerity of
professions, for none have bixTo
made. We are told without any
periphrase by Great Britain, tira'
the object of her restriéVions roust U
