A NEW “ HAIL COLUMBIA."
“ now ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN."
HAIL, Colombia ! happy land !
Hail, ye patriotic band!
Who late oppos'd Oppreflion's laws,
And now Hand firm in Freedom's cable ;
Rejoice—for now the (form is gone,
Colombia owns her chosen son.
The rights of Man shall be our boast,
And JEFFERSON our fav'rite toatt :
Ever grateful for the prize,
Let our voices reach the ikies.
Firm, united, let us be.
Rallying round the sacred tree ;
May its leaves o'erfpread the -world,
And tyrants from their thrones be hurl'd.
See the Hamiltonian Feds,
How they hang their jaw lock'd heads.
Mourning now their fallen chief,
hi whom they hop'd to find relief: — /
Who with an army at command,
Thought soon to rule this happy land.
But now their hopes are all deftroy'd,
Their wicked schemes are null and void;
The fed'ral rats have left the fliip,
And we in turn "ill take a trip.
Thro' the rough “ tempefluous Jea,
We'll fafely guide our Liberty ;
Stop the leaks, the rigging clear.
And to a peaceful haven fleer.
Sound, found the trump of Fame,
Let JEFFERSON's great name,
Ring thro' the world with loud applatrfe,
As the firm friend of Freedom's cause:
^ Let ev'ry clime tu Freedom dear,
Now Klien with a joyful ear :
With boned pride and manly grace,
He fills the Presidential place—
The ConUitution for his guide,
And Truth and Justice at his fide.
Firm, united, let us be,
Rallying round thefacred tree :
May its leaves o'erjpread the world,
And Tyrants frow their thrones be hurl'd.
Republicans behold your chief!
He comes to give your fears relief,
The rock on which the florm has beat,
Who brav'd vile faction's deadly hate,
Now arm'd with virtue, firm and true,
Looks for support to heav'n and you.
When hope was linking in dismay,
When glooms obfeur'd Columbia's day,
He mourn'd his country's threaten'd late,
But fav'd her ere it grew too late.
The year of jubilee is come ;
Return ye British agents home :
For we in turn will rule the roafl,
And make a JEFFERSON the boast.
WORTHY ATTENTION.
The Editor of Poulfan's Philadelphia Daily Adver
tiser having received from a friend the following
Receipt for the cure of the Cancer is induced from
the veracity of the writer, and the importance of
fetch a remedy to many afflicted individuals, to lay
it before the public.
A SAFE AND EFFICACIOUS REMEDY FOR THE
CANCER,
" Take the narrow leafed Dock Root and boil
it in water, till it be quite foft, then bathe the
part affected in the decodion as hot as can be
borne, three or four times a day ?—the root mull
then be mashed and applied as a poultice.
“ This root has proved an effectual cure in
many instances ; It was firfl introduced by an In
dian woman, who came to the house of a person
in the country who was much affiifted with a can
cer in her mouth ; the Indian, perceiving feme
thing was the matter, enquired what it was, and,
on being informed mid she would cure her. The
woman consented to a trial, though with little
hope of success, having previously used many
things without receiving any benefit. The Indian
went out and loon returned with a root, which
she boiled and applied as above, and in a short
time the cure was effected. The Indain was very
careful to conceal what thele roots were, and re
fufed to give any information refreshing -them ;
but happening one day to lay some of them down
and step out, the woman concealed one of the
roots, which she planted, and soon difeovered
what it was, not long after a person in that neigh
borhood being afflicted with the fame complaint
in her face, she informed her of this remedy, and
in two weeks she was cured. Some time after, a
man was cured of a confirmed cancer upon the
back of his hand ; after fuffering much, and una
ble to get any rest, being told of this root, it was
procured and prepared for him ; he kept his l»nd
in the water as hot as he could bear it for some
time ; the root was then applied as a poultice,
and that night he slept comfortably, and, in two
Weeks his hand was entirely cured.
“ Daniel Brown's father having ball a cancer in
his head, had it cut out and apparently healed ;
but some of the roots remaining, it again broke
out ; his do&or then informed him that nothing
more could be done except burning it out with
hot irons. This being too harsh a remedy to sub
mit to, he was much difeouraged. The dock
root was soon after recommended, and it cured
him in a short time.
^ In the beginning of the winter of 1798 a bard
lump appeared in the middle of my under lip,
and ina short time became fore ; —it continued in
that situation. till spring, when it increased and be
came painful; 1 then viewed it to a person of
fall, and soon found he apprehended it to be can
cerous ; after two or three different applications
the complaint encreafed and spread rapidly.
L'< Lot Trip, having heard of my complaint,
mentioned this root. I called on him to know
the particulars of it— he gave me the necessary
information—the root was procured, and used in
the manner abovementioned—taking a mouthful
<of the water, in which the root was boiled, and
letting if drip over,my lips as hot as I could bear
it ; this I did three or four times a day, and then
kept the root to it a day and a night, and in two
weeksit was cured.
« This remedy is simple, fafe, and not ittend'-
ed with any thing unpleafanu"
I H. BUFFORD,

public in general, and his friends
in particular,
