Which for extensive usefulness are not equalled by any other MEDICINES; their properties and qualities have been so universally proved and attested, as to leave no doubt whatever of their efficacy.
—ALSO—
Chambaud's Antiphlogistic LOZENGES.
CONSUMPTION, COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMAS, & HOOPING COUGH, immediately relieved and speedily cured by Chambaud's Antiphlogistic Lozenges. As a sovereign remedy for the above complaints stands unequalled; not an instance has occurred (though taken by many thousand patients) wherein they have been known to fail; so superior are their virtues over every medicine, that, if the patient be ever so emaciated or reduced, having tried every medical assistance, they will act as it were by a charm, and instantly relieve the most inveterate cough, give ease and freedom to respiration, promote gentle expectoration, strengthen the debilitated constitution, procuring refreshing comfort of rest and sleep, and quickly effect a permanent cure.
HOOPING COUGH.
To Parents who have Children afflicted with the Hooping Cough.
This medicine is of the greatest importance, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time, entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Lozenges are so perfectly agreeable, and the dose is so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Dr. Bardwell's Genuine EYE WATER.
THIS MEDICINE possesses great and infallible efficacy in diseases of the Eyes and Eye-lids, from whatever cause they may arise, as recent colds, relics of the small pox, or measles, senility, scrofula, or any kind of acrimony in the blood, or juices in cases of ophthalmie, habitual inflamma-
tion, excoriated and ulcerated eyelids, and that hitherto deemed incurable disease, the gaping or reverted eye-lid, it has a specific and very surprising power, as physicians and surgeons of great eminence can attest; it also clears and strengthens the sight, removes specks and films, and restores the eye-lashes, though apparently destroyed for many years. The preparation is simple, and may be applied at any time of life.
Antibilious PILLS.
A VARIETY of medicines have been offered to the Public for this purpose, which instead of producing the intended effect, give present relief and eventually increase the complaint. These pills are prepared by a member of the College of Physicians, who is convinced that they are not only essentially different, but superior to any known receipt, in certainty of their effect; their unusual gentle operation, and that peculiarity not found in any other, that they leave the bowels free from costiveness, and occasion no irritation or return of the symptoms; when the stomach or intestines are surcharged with bile, these pills unite with, gently dissolve and carry down their contents; nor do they leave the bowels in a state of imbecility, but induce that temperament necessary to health so much to be desired.
YELLOW-FEVER.
EVERY experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of this may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known from its putrescent quality, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful malady is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint venders in the mercantile cities of the United States, for the accommodation of merchants, captains and traders: the Antibilious Pills are therefore in an especial manner recommended as a preservative deserving the notice of all persons going to the islands, or any of those places infected with epidemic fevers. The pills may be taken by the tenderest constitutions, require no confinement nor any restraint of diet. Sold by Messrs. Stokes and Co. and the venders of their appointment, with copious directions. Observe that the Signature, Messrs. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each box.
WORM LOZENGES.
Since the discovery of this excellent medicine by Dr. Atkinson, many thousand persons have experienced its salutary effect.
Dr. Hunter's LAXATIVE PILLS.
AROMATIC LOZENGES. Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave, having used every remedy recommended as specifics in those complaints, and had made every application to the faculty that could be obtained.
Atkinson's Essence of MUSTARD.
RHEUMATISM in every stage, instantly submits to its penetrating powers, which has succeeded in curing the most desperate cases of Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Sciatica, Palsy, and Complaints of the Stomach, after various other medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly serviceable in flatulencies and indigestion, and by their salutary operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and, at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a remarkable active embrocation, necessarily used with the pills, & as generally excites a tingling sensation it removes the cause of pain, by bringing on a circulation in the parts effected; by this means, frozen limbs, the severest sprains and bruises, old strains and relaxations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signature of THOMAS STOKES and Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genuine.

Political Miscellany.
From the POLITICAL OBSERVATORY. To the Printer of the Political Observatory.
SIR, I shall send you a few pieces, written with studied brevity, and, I hope, with decency, exhibiting a view of some parts of the political and official conduct of the executive of this state. They are compiled from notes which I have been in the habit of taking for my own satisfaction, and from a perusal of the journals of the legislature for several years past. I shall carefully abstain from advancing any thing as fact, which cannot, in case of necessity, be supported by existing testimony and for the most part by the printed journals of the legislature, which are to be found, I believe, in every town of the state. — If you consider it as an absurdity, that a political body should have a head different from itself, and an unhappiness that the chief organ of this state should entertain sentiments in dissonance and collision with the government of the United States, you will give them a place in your paper.
A Friend of Consistency.
GOVERNOR GILMAN.
"To examine candidly and thoroughly into the conduct of rulers, is not only a privilege, but it is the duty of freemen." Gov. Gilman's speech to the legislature, Dec. 1799.
Limiting my examination by the rules of candor, I flatter myself that neither the governor nor his political friends will so far forget the laudable sentiment expressed in my motto, as to be displeased if the examination should be thorough — if it should be unreserved — if it should be conducted, without compliment or adulation, to the object proposed. This object is no other than that mentioned in general terms by the governor in the words above quoted, now applied to his own conduct as a ruler. Did I want other authority to justify me in this undertaking, it is amply furnished by the practice of the political partisans of Governor Gilman, whose freedom of animadversion upon the conduct of the President of the U. States, and of every republican officer both in the general and state governments, is well known to every citizen who reads a newspaper. But God forbid, that I should imitate their licentiousness, or descend to the despicable personalities, and abusive insinuations which run through the greater part of their writings and breathe in most of their discourses.
Far am I from viewing Mr. Gilman in the light of a Cæsar, or a Bonaparte. If he had it in his power, I do not think he would by one bold stroke deprive the citizens of all their rights and reduce them instantly to a condition of vassalage or slavery. I will say further — were his political connections less unfortunate, or had he risen to public notice at another period, it is possible he might have resisted the scheme of gradually impairing our liberties and introducing here that state of society which is experienced in some of the mild monarchies of Europe. Though Mr. Gilman is not to be accused of those monstrosities flagrant
acts of injustice and ambition which have distinguished the great oppressors of mankind, yet on the other hand it is not true (what some very honest and well meaning people, who have not had a view of the whole ground are apt to say,) that he has done well enough — that although his ideas may differ from their's yet he has discharged the duties of his office without fault — and that they may as well continue him in his station, as give it to another. Hitherto, little has been laid before the people of a specific nature, relating to the official conduct of Mr. G. to show them that this conclusion is incorrect and dangerous: they have seen nothing displayed but general inferences drawn from his known and avowed principles — the task being irksome to enter into a particular history of his administration, to compare his acts and analyse his conduct. This task now devolves upon the writer, which he assumes with reluctance, but hopes the fruit of his undertaking will be a conviction in the public mind, that it is not wise to repose in security and defer an important duty, because oppressions of the most hideous form are not felt in woeful experience. — Can it be wise, can it be prudent, to procrastinate provision for your safety, until peril stares you in the face and destruction begins actually to take hold of you? Beware that you do not delay till it be too late to help yourselves — too late to retrieve the effects of your apathy and false security. This has been the fatal course of every people before you, and in this way, oftener than by forcible means, has every people lost their liberties. To Americans a better fate was designed by our vigilant forefathers, who, for this purpose, made the office of chief magistrate subject to the frequent elections of the people — in this and many other states so frequent as once in every year. In making this provision, it was not contemplated that your governor would become a monster in crimes in the course of one short year: for long before them it was a common maxim,
"Nemo repente pessimus fit," "No man becomes a monster in an instant." This salutary provision of annual elections was rather designed to check political depravity in the bud, to enable you to change your chief magistrate in the first appearance of his being warped to principles or practices not congenial to your own minds and inconsistent with your views of safety. — I trust that, in examining the conduct of your present governor, I shall adduce cause sufficient to warrant your making use of this privilege, derived from the caution of your forefathers, in bestowing your suffrages on some other gentleman to fill the important station which Mr. Gilman has filled for so many years.
Devising these observations merely as an introduction, I shall, not now enter upon any of the particulars which I have in view; but will close with one or two general remarks. Even supposing that nothing of an official or practical nature could be urged against him, yet the opinions of Mr. Gilman are avowedly such, as render it highly absurd for those who profess opposite opinions to sustain him in office. Opinions have a close connection with actions, and no people can reasonably feel safe in respect to the latter, while the former are known to be hostile to what they believe to be their welfare. A people in this case must owe their safety merely to a forced respect on the part of their chief magistrate, which is a dangerous foundation for reliance. That governor Gilman's political opinions are opposite to those at present embraced by a vast majority of the American people and usually termed republican, it is presumed, neither he nor his adherents will controvert. A friend of Consistency.
In the Boston Centinel we find an account of the services of C. C. Pinckney, the federal candidate for president; we are also informed of the number of offices which Mr. P. might have held, but it is not mentioned that he is president of a jockey club, and one of the greatest slave-holders in the union. After enumerating Mr. P's qualities the Centinel says, "let the world shew a man in whom greater services and better qualifications are united, if it can" — it is enough to remark upon this bombast, that in this quarter of the world, where Mr. P. is best known, he has received but fourteen of one hundred and twenty-six electoral votes — who asks better proof?

TO delineate an eminent character is not so easy as is commonly imagined—On the one hand, we are too prone to make it perfect, that is not to be found on earth; on the other, we are apt to detract from those high qualifications which adorn a man.
"The evil that men do, live after them" "The good is oft interred with their bones." SHAKESPEARE.
The death of the Hon. WOODBURY LANGDON, has excited an uncommon as well as an unceasing degree of enquiry into the particulars, both of his life and death, that leave little satisfaction as they regard the great outlines of his personal or intellectual character.
In early life it was his felicity to be noticed and regarded by one of the most respectable families in the country, where he commenced the mode of business, and in his youth disclosed those enterprising talents that he discovered throughout life—with that family he was more nearly connected by marriage—and soon became opulent.
He was a man of great point of view, which will be acknowledged by all who fairly attend. The severest blow upon his fortunes; immense losses upon losses; his ships the sport and fury of the waves; his noble mansion, one of the most elegant in America, upon which he had expended a fortune, in a few hours a heap of ashes.
Departed this life at Rutland, (Mats) on Tuesday the 1st. inst. NATHANIEL H. WHITE, Esq. aged 30. While we announce the death of this Gentleman, we cannot forbear attempting an outline of his character. To this we are impelled, not by the partiality of friendship, but by the sacredness of duty.
and generally select their own method of conferring great favors—but, in instances in which he could be eminently serviceable, it seemed the satisfaction it gave to his great mind.
But it is said that he was "inordinately fond of this world's goods." and that is the amount of the evil that we have heard, is as the poet says, "to live after," whilst we beg to add, "the good must be interred with his bones?"
National Legislature.
TYRANT! Those kind friends and domestics who attended him in his last sickness, from the beginning of his confinement to the moment of his dissolution, can well attest to that unshaken fortitude of mind, that unremitted patience of suffering, and that uniform sweetness of temper which rendered him an object of admiration and almost of envy, to those who beheld him.
Could any austere and misanthropic bigot have witnessed some of the last hours of Mr. WHITE; could he have been at his bedside at that awful critical moment when death approached it; could he have seen those celestial smiles, which gave to his face an expression of divine beauty;

BY THE LAST MAILS.
Mississippi territory—On the 3d of last month, the legislature of the Mississippi territory, assembled at the town of Washington: on the day following, Mr. Cato West, secretary of state, in the absence of the governor, addressed both houses; from his speech we have made the following extract, and subjoin extracts from the reply of the house of representatives.
Extract from the address:
"Permit me, gentlemen, on this occasion, to observe that the possession of Louisiana by the United States has given the country great additional security from any foreign attack, and the measures for obtaining that colony prove to us, not only the wisdom of the administration, but also its fostering care over the whole western country; this is a matter of great felicity to us, and for which we ought to be grateful to that kind Providence from whom all our blessings flow.
Extract from the reply:
"The additional security derived to this territory from the accession of Louisiana to the United States, and the general prosperity enjoyed by our fellow citizens, demand grateful acknowledgements to that beneficent Providence which dispenses the blessings and rules the destinies of man.
"The general tranquility, freedom, and communion of sentiment, devoid of political acrimony, willing obedience to the laws, and progressive improvement pervading this territory, are subjects of mutual felicity.
"A well trained and organized militia is indispensably necessary to the security and protection of a free people, and we concur in sentiment with you, that to support the character of the soldier ought to be the pride of the citizen."
NEW-YORK JAN. 21.
Distresses at Sea.—Every arrival almost and every mail brings painful accounts of losses and distresses at Sea. For many years past, experienced mariners who have lately arrived say, the weather has not been so inclement and intensely cold.
After the failure of every artifice of the Essex Junto, for their purpose—after the rejection of the Ely amendment by every state in the union, which has decided on the subject—the Boston Centinel very soberly assures the public that the charge of a design to dissolve the union is false;—those who can credit the Centinel may; but with us its acknowledgement has just as much weight as denial, and the contrary—it was high time for the Centinel to come about, when federalism was beaten even at its head quarters.

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1805.
No Foreign News of importance, this week.
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in New York, dated Cadiz, November 13.
"The news yesterday from the interior of this country is of a very alarming nature. In many places the people are in a state of insurrection. Want of bread has driven the lower classes to great extremity, and in consequence to some shocking outrages. In one town the poorer inhabitants have risen in a mob and hanged the governor."
The House of Representatives of the United States, on Friday the 11th inst. entered into a resolution to wear erage for thirty days, for the death of Colonel James GILLESPIE, a representative from N. Carolina, and on Saturday attended his funeral, for the direction of which they had previously appointed a committee.
We learn from our correspondents at Washington, that the Armed Clearance Bill, after undergoing a very animated discussion in the Senate, has been returned to the House of Representatives, where it was recommitted to the committee who reported it; and that there existed a strong presumption that it would not eventually become a law of the U. States....Mer. Adv.
Pennsylvania Judges.—The trial of Messrs. Shippen, Yeates and Smith progresses. Mr. Boileau, chairman of the managers on the part of the House, made an elegant and impressive Speech on opening the articles. It extended to considerable length. He took an extensive view of the principles of civil liberty as established by the revolution, and recognized by the Constitution of Penns. uania, and applied them to the right of impeachment, and the particular case under consideration. Mr. Rodney, then, as Counsel, proceeded to read the Records of the Court, in evidence, so far as related to the case in question. After this, he proceeded to examine witnesses on the part of the prosecution. As soon as the trial is finished, we shall endeavor to give a summary of the case. (Aegis.)
It is with pleasure we have to announce to the public (says a late New-York paper) that the Insurance Companies in this city have come to the conclusion jointly to fit out the brig Ann-Maria, Capt. Coffin, with men, provisions, and other necessaries, to cruise off the coast, for the purpose of aiding our merchantmen into ports, and to succour the distressed whenever they may be found. She will probably remain out for 30 or 40 days, and will fail this day. So humane an undertaking deserves the most liberal support of all who can feel for the wretched situation that many of our fellow beings must be in, from the continued inclement weather we have experienced.
Mr. Bayard, member from Delaware, took his seat in the Senate of the United States the 15th inst.
On Friday evening, about eleven o'clock, two of the nightly patrole seized a black man of very suspicious appearance at the bottom of Pine-street and, on searching him, they found a dagger under his great coat, and a tin box containing live coals, with which it is probable he intended to set fire to some part of the city. We understand he has undergone an examination before the police, and is committed to prison. (N. York Mer. Advertiser.)
Massachusetts Legislature. HOUSE....Thursday Jan. 17. The two Houses did not form a quorum until this day.
A joint committee, composed of the Hon. Messrs. Hull and Quincy, on the part of the Senate, and Messrs. Spooner, (of Boston) Bangs and Jackson, on the part of the House, was appointed to wait on his Excellency the Governor, and inform him, that a quorum of both branches of the Legislature have met, and are ready to receive any communication His Excellency may think proper to make.
A message from the Governor was received that he would meet the Legislature to-morrow, at 12 o'clock.
We observe in the Boston Repository, and in other federal prints, bitter complaints of obstructions being placed in the way of their circulation, by post masters; and, verily, it is a very scandalous act of injustice if any post master does as is stated; he cannot, however, be a republican, for it is well known that since the establishment of the Repository the motion of federalism has been retrograde in Massachusetts, and to disseminate Dr. Parkers lucubrations is the best way to establish democracy. We must therefore, conclude, that federal post masters are responsible, and they have taken this method to secure the people from their own worst enemies."
Republican Ticket.
Fellow-Citizens of New-Hampshire. THE history of the world has had its proper effect on the sons of America. They have been instructed by the events of former ages, to guard against those evils which have precipitated the greatest nations from the heights of grandeur & celebrity to disgrace and ruin. True wisdom has informed us; foresight and prudence has guarded and conducted us to a felicity which was never realized before. But there yet remains a faction, which, envious of our happiness are incessantly exerting themselves against us. To guard against—to destroy the spirit of opposition should be our constant care, and rouse all our efforts.
It has been insinuated that a vain security is destroying us, and that we are divided among ourselves. Let our conduct prove the falsehood of the insinuation. We shall soon be called to the choice of officers for this state. The friends of our Constitution and Government, FELLOW-CITIZENS have recommended to you the following Patriotic Gentlemen named in the Republican Ticket, as men of known worth and abilities, and capable of sustaining with honor to themselves and their country, the important concerns that will be committed by you to their trust. May the patriotic spirit which has lately roused us to a due attention to our interests, still inspire us, 'till we become completely freed from that monarchical and aristocratical influence which has been so formerly prevalent.

Above a hundred times we have been told of disputes and dissensions among the principal friends of our national administration. They were kicking, cuffing, and every thing but duelling. We might think there was worse work than between Hamilton and Adams, and some such, well known. But after all the reports, no facts come out to encourage even a prediction.—Poor Creatures!
The expences of Congress is a subject of complaint.—Our economy is condemned! and then it is reprobated because it is reasonable, and not extreme. Our government is called rash, and then condemned for deliberation. such is the wisdom by which some men would pretend to rule us, and save us from delusion. Who does not understand it?

TO A LADY,
On the recent death of her Husband.
WHY heaves that pensive bosom with a sigh, Alas, my friend, 'tis fixed we all must die!
Or skilled physicians, thinking to delay, With studious hopes to arrest the final day.
Or we now mourn the friend and husband dead, "Ah soon! too soon, again I strike the lyre,
In doleful Elegy (the Muses fire)— Again condole with you, the weeping fair,
That lovely face veiled in the mournful shade; Those eyes, that like the heavenly azure clear,
Now doomed to dimness thro' the glistening tear; That heart where goodness self maintained her seat,
Now rent, whilst throbbings oft and oft repeat. "What sad vicissitudes of changeable life!
"Chequer'd with grief and malice, care and strife!" We, who can count so many passing years,
Thick of old times, when no corroding cares Or jarring conflicts of a new-born race,
This happy country wickedly deface. The social round of elegant resort,
Or make of worth and honor, sinful sport; Let us dispel the gloom, and rather raise Fond thoughts that we may realize the days,
When you shall visit our retreated bowers, And we make happy some remaining hours. Your friends and ours, shall around you crowd,
And who can please you most, shall be most proud! Serene, complacent, mild & good like you,
Always to keep our hearts sincere and true. Thence springs the source of every earthly joy,
Without this test of friendship, all things cloy— Moroseness, dulness, or affixed ease Are never in their nature sure to please.
Then when along the stream of placid life, To aid your comforts in the dubious strife,
Contentment, resignation, be your choice, To tee you bless, and blessing we'll rejoice. J. W.
The following humorous and pathetic petition to the Legislature of Maryland, was presented on the 20th ult.
To the Honourable the General Assembly of Maryland, now anchored in the City of Annapolis.
The humble petition of poor Jack Clarke, of the city of Baltimore, shews to your honours, that your unfortunate petitioner, while ploughing the dominions of old Neptune, having carried rather taught sail in squally weather, the gales of misfortune blowing hard, he overran his reckoning,
the watch on deck keeping a bad look out, he was stranded on the shoals of poverty, soon after overhauled and made prisoner by the commander of a pressgang, called the Sheriff of Baltimore,
and now lies locked under hatches in limbo, to the great grief of his darling Poll, and sweet little crew, who since his imprisonment have been on short allowance.
Therefore, your petitioner prays your honours will order the hatches to be unbarred, by an act of insolvency, that his farts may be cut, be again put to sea on a cruise,
in hopes that fortune may prove kind, in the distribution of her prize money, and poor Jack once more enabled to cheer the heart of his darling Poll and her sweet little babes.
And your petitioner will ever pray, &c.
