MEDICINES: HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have, within eighteen months past, given relief to upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS, of all ages, in various dangerous complaints, arising from worms and from foulness or obstruction in the stomach and bowels. A peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution: contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body—but will without pain or griping cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tereis or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, and lastly, the Tenia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described. Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
RECENT CURES, SELECTED FROM SEVERAL HUNDREDS.
MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 57, Wicks Street, Fell's Point, city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed, but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms; they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest one appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long; in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skins, of a slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable.
Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS.
For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermitent Fevers. Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medi-
cine has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle.
These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injure the constitution exceedingly, and brings on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints, of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which, upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of, but being a very naught medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children, and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently loit for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH.
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart, which attends the application of other remedies.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.
Which have been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, and Savannah. The testimonies of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences—A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance.—They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
THE GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRCAT OF MUSTARD.
For the Cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, White Swelling, &c. and has performed more cures in the above complaints, than all the other medicines ever before made public.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, and approaching Consumptions, and is far superior to any other medicine for the WHOOPING COUGH.
INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, For the Cure of a Certain Disease.
HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lyings in, &c.
THE DAMASK LIP-SALVE.
An elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by Colds, Fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy color, and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious flume and foulness, which suffered to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE & GENUINE GERMAN CORN-PLAISTER.
An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheume, dulness, itching, and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles, and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR.
For the cure of every kind of Head-Ache, &c. &c. &c.

WHEREAS it is represented to this assembly, that there is still in this state large quantities of vacant land which by being occupied by the citizens thereof, whose interest it may be to hold it, or by any citizens of the United States or foreigners, who being thereby encouraged to reside thereon, will greatly add to the population, wealth and consequence of this state.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of this commonwealth , that it shall be lawful for any free person of the description aforesaid, above the age of eighteen years, to improve, occupy and hold of the vacant lands aforesaid, four hundred acres: provided that he or she actually settles and resides thereon: provided that no person who now holds any land obtained by certificate under any act of the assembly of this state, for encouraging and granting relief to settlers south of Green river, shall be authorized to appropriate, under this act, more than two hundred acres, in addition to the quantity he may have acquired under the laws aforesaid.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted , that where any person shall hereafter settle himself on any vacant land, as aforesaid, he shall, within three months after such settlement, apply to the court of the county in which such settlement is made, and upon proving to them that he has actually made such settlement, be entitled to a certificate for the quantity of land to which he may be entitled to, under this act, including such settlement in which said certificate shall be contained, a special location, describing as accurately as may be the land contemplated to be included in said certificate, a duplicate of which said certificate shall be made out by the clerk and delivered to the claimant; who shall pay to the said clerk one shilling therefor.

OBITUARY.
MEMENTO MORI.
Died lately, at Frankfort, from great Constitutional weakness , the political Infant, commonly called, the " lawyers bill ." The tragical history of this unfortunate child, is sufficient to draw the tear of sympathy from every human eye.—When it came into the world, its countenance was so evidently stamped with the superannuated features of its true parent , as well as with every symptom of intellectual debility, which it derived from the midwife, a very near relation, who took care of its introduction into life, that it was very generally conceived to have been born a natural fool.— Relations , however, do not view their near connections in this light. The infant was supposed to have merit; and with this partiality on the part of the Granny, to whose special care it devolved, it was introduced to the world, for support and protection, and notwithstanding its many defects, found some friends—This humanity, however, was in a great measure owing to the evident inability of the midwife, to support it.—After occasioning infinite trouble and expence to its friends, it was secured, for a short time, from the jaws of death by the unremitted care, bestowed on its health. It obtained some vigour; so that hopes being entertained of its recovery, from its natural maladies, it was put out for further improvement, among strangers.—The seeds of disease, however, were not entirely eradicated.—A relapse took place.—It was sent home to its friends and relation, the Midwife, with such dismal symptoms of approaching dissolution, that it was abandoned to its unhappy fate.—Its friends no longer acknowledged it.—The old Lady started as if at a " Goblin damned! " and the unhappy infant sunk to the grave, beneath the pious lamentations of its broken hearted relations.—
It is said that so great has been the trouble in maintaining the existence of this unfortunate child, together with the grief experienced on the part of the benevolent old Granny, that she is about to decline the profession forever.—Notwithstanding its decripitude, it was so highly valued by its doting parents, that it has cost the state between 4 and 500 dols. to prolong an existence, which nature seemed to deny it.

President's Reply to the Answer of the House of Representatives.
Mr Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives
Compelled by the habits of a long life, as well as by all the principles of society and government, which I could ever understand and believe, to consider the great body of the people as the source of all legitimate authority, no less than of all efficient powers, it is impossible for me to receive this address from the immediate representatives of the American people, at this time, and in this place, without emotions which it would be improper to express, if any language could convey them.
May the spirit which animated the great founder of this city, descend to future generations, and may the wisdom, magnanimity and steadiness, which marked the events of his public life, be imitated in all succeeding ages.
I thank you gentlemen, for your assurance, that the judiciary system shall receive your deliberate attention.
With you, gentlemen, I sincerely hope, that the final result of the negotiations now pending with France, may prove as fortunate for our country, as they have been commenced with sincerity, and prosecuted with deliberation and caution. With you, I cordially agree, that so long as a predatory war is carried on against our commerce, we should sacrifice the interests, and disappoint the expectations of our constituents, should we for a
moment, relax that system of maritime defence, which has resulted in such beneficial effects. With you, I confidently believe, that few persons are to be found within the United States, who do not admit, that a navy well organized, must constitute the natural and efficient defence of this country, against all foreign hostility.
Those who recollect the distress and danger to this country, in former periods, from the want of arms, must exult in the assurance, from their representatives, that we shall soon rival foreign countries, not only in the number, but in the quality of the arms completed from our own manufactories.
With you, gentlemen, I fully agree, that the great increase of revenue, is a proof that the measures of maritime defence were founded in wisdom. This policy has raised us in the esteem of foreign nations. That national spirit, and those latent energies, which had not been, and are not yet fully known to any, were not entirely forgotten by those, who had lived long enough to see in former times, their operation, and some of their effects; our fellow citizens were undoubtedly prepared to meet every event, which national honor, or national security could render necessary. These it is to be hoped, are secured at the cheapest and easiest rate. If not, they will be secured at more expence.
I thank you gentlemen, for your assurance, that the various subjects recommended to your consideration, shall receive your deliberate attention. No farther evidence is wanting to convince me of the zeal and sincerity with which the house of representatives regard the public good.
I pray you, gentlemen, to accept of my best wishes for your health and happiness.

ANSWER
Of the Senate to the President's speech.
TO JOHN ADAMS,
President of the United States.
SIR,
Impressed with the important truth, that the hearts of rulers and people are in the hand of the Almighty, the Senate of the United States most cordially join in your invocations for appropriate blessings upon the government and people of this Union.
We meet you, Sir, and the other branch of the national legislature, in the city, which is honored by the name of our late hero and sage, the illustrious Washington, with sensations and emotions, which exceed our power of description.
While we congratulate ourselves on the convention of the legislature at the permanent seat of government; and ardently hope that permanence and stability may be communicated as well to the government itself, as to its seat; our minds are irresistibly led to deplore the death of him who bore so honorable and efficient a part in the establishment of both. Great indeed would have been our gratification, if this sum of earthly happiness, had been completed, by seeing the government thus peaceably convened at this place: but we derive consolation from a belief that a moment in which we are destined to experience the loss we deplore, was fixed by that being whose councils cannot err; and from a hope, that since in this seat of government which bears his name, his earthly remains will be deposited, the members of Congress, and all who inhabit the city, with these memorials before them will retain his virtues in lively recollection, and make his patriotism, morals and piety, models for imitation.—And permit us to add, Sir, that it is not among the least of our consolations that you, who have been his companion and friend, from the dawning of our national existence, and trained in the same school of exertion to effect our independence, are still preserved, by a gracious Providence, in health and activity, to exercise the functions of chief magistrate.
The question whether the local power over the district of Columbia; vested by the Constitution in the Congress of the United States, shall be immediately exercised, is of great importance, and in deliberating upon it, we shall naturally be led to weigh the attending circumstances and every probable consequence of the measures which may be prepared.
The several subjects for legislative consideration, contained in your speech to both Houses of Congress, shall receive from the Senate all the attention which they can give, when contemplating those objects both in respect to their national importance, and the additional weight that is given them by your recommendation.
We deprecate with you, Sir, all spirit of innovation from whatever quarter it may arise, which may impair the sacred bond that cements the different parts of
this empire; and we trust, that under the protection of Divine Providence, the wisdom and virtue of the citizens of the United States will deliver our national compact unimpaired to a grateful posterity.
From past experience, it is impossible for the Senate of the United States to doubt of your zealous co-operation with the legislature in every effort to promote the general happiness and tranquility of the union.
Accept, Sir, our warmest wishes for your health and happiness.
THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY.
Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Senate,
For this excellent address so respectful to the memory of my illustrious predecessor, which I receive from the Senate of the United States at this time, and in this place, with peculiar satisfaction, I pray you to accept my unfeigned acknowledgements. With you I ardently hope, that permanence and stability will be communicated as well to the government itself, as to its beautiful and commodious seat. With you I deplore the death of that hero and sage who bore so honorable & efficient part in the establishment of both. Great indeed would have been my gratification, if his scene of earthly happiness had been completed by seeing the government thus peaceably convened at this place, himself at its head. But while we submit to the decisions of heaven, whose councils are inscrutable to us, we cannot but hope, that the members of congress, the officers of government, and all who inhabit the city, or the country, will retain his virtues in lively recollections, and make his patriotism, morals and piety, models for imitation.
I thank you, gentlemen, for your assurance that the several subjects of legislative consideration, recommended in my communication to both houses, shall receive from the senate a deliberate and candid attention.
With you, gentlemen, I sincerely deprecate all spirit of innovation, which may weaken the sacred bonds that connect the different parts of this nation and government, and with you I trust, that under the protection of Divine Providence, the wisdom and virtue of our citizens will deliver our national compact unimpaired, to a free, prosperous happy and greatful posterity. To this end it is my fervent prayer, that in this city the fountains of wisdom may be always open, and the streams of eloquence for ever flow. Here may the youth of this extensive country for ever look up without disappointment, not only to the monuments and memorials of the dead, but to the examples of the living, in the members of congress, and officers of government, for finished models of virtues graces, talents, and accomplishments, which constitute the dignity of human nature, and lay the only foundation for the prosperity or duration of empires.

SUICIDE.
On Monday evening, the 10th inst. a young man 18 years of age, by the name of James Burt, living with Lieut. Noah B. Kimball, of Grafton, shot himself. He originated from the shaking quakers at Shirley. He left them about 18 months ago. On a recent visit to his parents, he met with unkind reception. This unnatural treatment is the only reason that can be assigned for his premature death. He was not permitted to see his mother, and was treated with great coolness by his father. Such is the absurdity of these sectaries that they renounce parental affection, and act contrary to the dictates of reason, and religion.

Havre, October 8.
"The Envoys of the American Government, whose object it is to perfect the work of reconciliation desired by all the civil and military authorities eager to render their homage to an allied nation, acknowledged since the year 1778, as the most sincere friends of the French nation. A guard of honor, of 50 men, has been

ELIZABETH-TOWN, Dec. 4. We have seen a letter of a late date, from a gentleman in London, possessed of the most correct information, who says, that in his opinion, the prospect of accommodation between this country and England, in relation to the 6th article of the British treaty, is at an end, and that he fears the difference between the contracting parties will not be soon terminated.

Newhampshire, 6 0 4 0 2   Massachusetts, 16 0 10 0 6   Connecticut, 9 0 9 0 0   Vermont, 4 0 2 0 2   Rhode-Island, 4 0 4 0 0   New-York, 0 12 0 12 0   New-Jersey, 7 0 7 0 0   Pennsylvania, 7 8 7 8 0   Delaware, 3 0 3 0 0   Maryland, 5 5 5 5 0   Virginia, 0 21 0 21 0   North-Carolina, 4 8 4 8 0   South-Carolina, 0 8 0 8 0   Georgia, 0 4 0 4 0   Kentucky, 0 4 0 4 0   Tennessee, 0 3 0 3 0   65 73 63 65 10  
The preceding calculation is made upon authoritative information. The republicans have, beyond all doubt, succeeded in procuring a respectable majority in favor of Mr. Jefferson. The project of the British party, adherents of Alexander Hamilton, was well known to Mr. Adams, previous to his leaving Braine-tree; and he counted upon losing every vote in South-Carolina, through their intrigues—but, to parry this stroke, he engaged his friends in New-England, before he left home, to drop Mr. Pinckney, 10 votes, viz. 2 in Newhampshire, 6 in Massachusetts, and two in Vermont. This circumstance has been long known; but the secret has been preserved, in order to prevent British seduction. The election being over, we now come forward, and avow the facts to be as stated, upon the authority of the most confidential friend in Mr. Adams' own family. It was communicated in these words:
"My f—r was determined that he would not be thrown out by a Pinckney. But aware of the deception which was to take place in South-Carolina, he had engaged his friends in New-England, to drop C. C. Pinckney, by at least 10 votes, securing to himself a majority of 2, in any event."
Mr. Adams and Mr. Burr, will be candidates for the Vice-Presidency; and as they have each an equal number of votes, the senate of the United States are to choose one of them, by ballot, to be the Vice-President.
Thus, Alexander Hamilton, and his Anglo-Federal tool, C. C. Pinckney, are completely defeated, by a Federal counter project, in which all American Federalists, as well as the pure Democrats, have occasion to rejoice.

CLEMENT ROSS. October 16th, 1800. †
THE SUBSCRIBERS HAVE the satisfaction of informing their customers and others, that in consequence of an arrangement made by JOHN JORDAN Jun. they will be en- abled to purchase the following articles of produce this season, viz.
HEMP, WHEAT, FLOUR, AND TOBACCO,
For which they will give such prices as their present engagements and prospect will justify, which they hope will be found as liberal as any.
But as they have undertaken this busi- ness, with prospects indeed, too trifling even to compensate them for their servi- ces, they hope at least, to meet with bet- ter encouragement than what has heret- ofore been allotted by the Planters and Farmers of this state, to those who ex- ported their Produce, and that a proper distinction will be made in favor of them, who, at all times have exerted themselves to embrace every opportunity of serving the Planters, &c.
It is with the utmost reluctance they take notice of an incontrovertible truth, that so far from meeting the encourage- ment due their exertions, they have hi- therto had the mortification to find that a preference was at all times given (unless when payment was made in produce) to others, who sold for cash only—in conse- quence of which, they had determined to pursue the same system of Commerce that is now so loudly complained of by the Ci- tizens at large, so long at least, until their competitors should either be obliged to undergo the same risk and trouble, or the Farmer and Planter take a more extensive view of his real interest—but being anx- ious to avoid their proportion of general censure, and to make their occupation as useful as possible, they have once more receded from their resolution, determin- ed to purchase the productions of the soil, and trust to the liberality of the Farmer and Planter, to obviate those complaints in future.
The conditions on which they intend to take produce, are, the Cash Prices of the several articles—In return, they will continue to sell their goods at their usu- al low prices, for Cash or Produce. Those who may have more Produce than would be convenient for them to take in Goods, shall receive Cash, by allowing a reason- able credit, but no payments will be made either in Goods or Cash, until the deli- very of the articles, and it is further ex- pected that none will solicit an advance, as it is impossible for them (in conse- quence of the numerous disappointments heretofore experienced) either to discri- minate, or to deviate from this rule.
JOHN A SEITZ, JOHN JORDAN Jun. & Co. N. B. By the above arrangements there can be no cause for suspecting us of sel- ling higher, and consequently we flatter ourselves with a continuance of the custom of those who shall wish to purchase for Cash.
GOOD NEWS. I AM a neat Taylor, my charges are low, Which I am desirous the public should know; A neat suit of clothes, for Three Dollars, I make, When the clothes are deliver'd, the mo- ney I take; To ev'ry one punctual, who doth me em- ploy, Of those who have tried me, not one will deny— On Main Street, in Lexington, now I abide, Next door to Brent's Tavern, and on the same side.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ODE
To Popularity.
O, Popularity, thou giddy thing, What grace, or profit dost thou bring? Thou art not honesty, thou art not fame; I cannot call the by a worthy name; To say I hate thee, were not true, Contempt is properly thy due, I cannot love thee, and despise the too.
Thou art no patriot, but the veriest cheat, That ever traffick'd in deceit In state caprice, bellowing loud Freedom and phrensy to the mobbing crowd;
And what canst thou, if thou canst raise Illuminations and buzzas, Tho' half the country funk in one bright blaze?
A patriot; no, for thou dost hold in hate The very peace and welfare of the state; When anarchy assaults the Sovereign's throne, Then is the day, the night thy own, Then is thy triumph, when the foe Levels some dark invidious blow, Or strong rebellion lays the country low.
Thou canst affect humility to hide Some deep device of monstrous pride Conscience and charity pretend For compassing some private end And in a canting conventicle note Long scripture passages can quote When persecution rankle in thy throat,
Thou hast no sense of nature at thy heart No ear for science and no eye for art, Yet confidently dost decide at once This man a wit, and that a dunce; And, strange to tell, how e'er unjust, We takes thy dictates upon trust, For, if the world will be deceived, it must.
ANECDOTE.
In truth and justice thou hast no delight; Virtue thou dost not know by sight; But as the chimney by his skill From dross and dregs a spirit can distil, Lo from the prisons or the stews, B. lies, blasphemers, cheats and Jews, Shall turn to heroes, if they serv'd thy views.
