To the Editor of the Brattleborough Re- porter.
Sir,
My letters to my constituents be- ing closed, I have a request to make thro' your paper, to the editors of the Vermont Gazette, New Hampshire Centinel, Colum- bian Centinel, and all the publishers of papers who have given publicity to the fol- lowing declaration of mine, to which, by mistake, a very improper coloring has been given.
"The destruction of the constitution of the United States has been determined on by a private caucus of the junto I have alluded to."
In order to determine to whom this charge was intended to apply, recourse should have been had to my first letter, where this junto is described. "A few ambitious individuals undertake to antici- pate the public sentiment upon all impor- tant questions," &c. Every member of the administration, every member of the national legislature, is expressly excepted. "I shall not impeach the integrity of any man in public life." Great injustice has therefore been done me in endeavoring to make me say that the destruction of the constitution has been agreed on in "a cau- cus of legislators at Washington." I have not said so. From the frantic rage of the revolutionists, their avowed hostility to the constitution, their infernal proscription of its friends, and their constant habits of caucusing, together with some acts of a private nature, I am perfectly convinced of the truth of the declaration which has been made; but as I am willing to yield to every member of the government the same reputation for integrity which I claim myself, I cannot but consider the applica- tion which has been made of that declara- tion as a very unjust one. The expression was at best incautious, but was not intend- ed to "impeach the integrity" of any member of the legislature.
It is true that there is a standing "cau- cus of legislators at Washington." It is composed of very few individuals, and not one member from the New-England states has ever been invited to a share in its deliberations. I am prepared to accuse this caucus of attempting to govern the Union in a very improper manner but not of conspiring the total destruction of our present constitution. They think the pre- sent constitution a very bad one, and wish to give us a good one in its room. The several alterations which they proposed at the last session of congress are fraught with ruin. In the opinion of myself and others they would produce the de- struction of the constitution: but the men who propose them believe that they would be very great improvements in our system. If we say, therefore, that these gentlemen have determined to destroy the constitu- tion, we must be understood merely as saying that the measures which they pur- sue will produce that effect, although their object is very different. For myself I have no more doubt of their integrity, than I have that their measures, if adopted, will produce a revolution, and of course a despotism.
I request the printers throughout the union, who have published the declaration above quoted, to give a place in their co- lumns to this explanation, which is not less due to my reputation as a man of veracity, than to the cause of truth and the consti- tution.
JAMES ELLIOT. Brattleborough, June 29, 1805.
From Moore's "View of Society and Man- ners in Switzerland."
SUICIDE is very frequent at Geneva. I am told this has been the case ever since the oldest people in the republic can re- member; and there is reason to believe, that it happens oftener here, in proportion to the number of inhabitants, than in Eng- land, or any other country of Europe.
The multiplicity of instances which have occurred since I have been here is astonish- ing. Two that happened very lately are remarkable for the peculiar circumstances which accompanied them.
The first was occasioned by a sudden and unaccountable fit of despair, which seized the son of one of the wealthiest and most respectable citizens of the republic. This young gentleman had, in appearance, every reason to be satisfied with his lot. He was handsome, and in the vigor of youth, married to a woman of an excellent character, who had brought him a great fortune, and by whom he was the father of a fine child. In the midst of all these blessings, surrounded by every thing which could inspire a man with an attachment to life he felt it unsupportable, and without
any obvious cause of chagrin, determined to destroy himself.
Having passed some hours with his mo- ther, a most valuable woman, and with his wife and child, he left them in apparent good humor, went into another room, ap- plied the muzzle of a musket to his fore- head, thrust back the trigger with his toe, and blew out his brains, in the hearing of the unsuspecting company he had just quitted.
The second instance, is that of a black- smith who, taking the same fatal resolu- tion, and not having any convenient instru- ment at hand, charged an old gun barrel with two brace of bullets, and putting one end into the fire of his forge, tied a string to the handle of the bellows, by pulling off which he could make them play, while he was at a convenient distance. Kneel- ing down, he then placed his head near the mouth of the barrel, and moving the bel- lows by means of the string, they blew up the fire, he keeping his head with aston- ishing firmness, and horrible deliberation, in that position, till the farther end of the barrel was so heated as to kindle the pow- der, whose explosion instantly drove the bullets through his brains.
Though I know that this happened lite- rally as I have related, yet there is some- thing so extraordinary, and almost incre- dible, in the circumstances, that perhaps I should not have mentioned it, had it not been attested and known to the inhabi- tants of Geneva, and all the English who are at present here.
Why suicide is more frequent in Great Britain and Geneva than elsewhere, would be a matter of curious investigation. For it appears very extraordinary, that men should be most inclined to kill themselves in countries where the blessings of life are best secured. There must be some strong and peculiar cause for an effect so prepos- terous.
Before coming here, I was of opinion, that the frequency of suicide in England, was occasioned in a great measure by the stormy and unequal climate, which, while it clouds the sky, throws also a gloom over the minds of the natives. To this cause foreigners generally add, that of the use of coal, instead of wood, for fuel.
I rested satisfied with some vague the- ory, built on these taken together: But neither can account for the same effect at Geneva, where coal is not used, and where the climate is the same with that in Switzerland, Savoy, and the neighbouring parts of France, where instances of suicide are certainly much more rare.
Without presuming to decide what are the remote causes of this fatal propensity, it appears evident to me, that no reasoning can have the smallest force in preventing it, but what is founded upon the soul's im- mortality and a future state. What effect can the common arguments have on a man who does not believe that necessary and important doctrine? He may be told, that he did not give himself life, therefore he has no right to take it away: that he is a centinel on a post and ought to remain un- til he is relieved: what is all this to the man who thinks he is never to be question- ed for his violence and desertion?
If you attempt to pique this man's pride by asserting, that it is a greater proof of courage to bear the ills of life, than to flee from them; he will answer you from the Roman history, and ask whether Cato, Cassius, and Marcus Brutus, were cow- ards?
The great legislator of the Jews seems to have been convinced, that no law or ar- gument against suicide could have any in- fluence on the minds of people who were ignorant of the soul's immortality; and therefore, as he did not think it necessary to instruct them in the one (for reasons which the Bishop of Gloucester has unfold- ed in his treatise on the divine legation of Moses,) he also thought it superfluous to give them any express law against the other.
"Those philosophers, therefore, who have endeavoured to shake this great and important conviction from the minds of men, have thereby opened a door to sui- cide as well as to other crimes. For, whoever reasons against that, without founding upon the doctrine of a future state, will soon see all his arguments o- verturned.
It must be acknowledged, indeed, that in many cases this question is decided by men's feelings, independent of reasonings of any kind.
Nature has not trusted a matter of so great importance entirely to the fallible reason of man; but has planted in the hu- man breast such a love of life, and horror of death, as seldom can be overcome even by the greatest misfortunes.
But there is a disease which sometimes affects the body, and afterwards communi-
cates its baneful influence to the mind over which it hangs such a cloud of horrors as renders life absolutely insupportable. In this dreadful state, every pleasing idea is banished, and all the sources of comfort in life are poisoned. Neither fortune, ho- nours, friends, nor family, can afford the smallest satisfaction. Hope, the last pillar of the wretched, falls to the ground. Des- pair lays hold of the abandoned sufferer. Then all reasoning becomes vain. Even arguments of religion have no weight and the poor creature embraces death as his only friend, which, as he thinks, may ter- minate, but cannot augment his misery.
I am, &c.
BOSTON, July 8
OF EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.—From our latest London papers, which are to the 25th of May, we have extracted all the articles of news, which appeared interesting or im- portant.—No material alteration in the po- litical aspect of Europe has taken place. Nothing decisive is mentioned respecting the pending negotiation between Great Bri- tain and Russia. So many difficulties oc- cur, and the negotiation has been so long protracted, that it is doubtful whether any very effective operations can be taken this season. It is mentioned, however by En- glish Journalists, that great quantities of shipping have recently been contracted for by government, for the conveyance of Russian troops. This is probably mere conjecture. We have noticed the terms on which it is reported Bonaparte would be willing to negotiate for a general peace. The very mention of such terms would probably stimulate, rather than relax, the exertion of the hostile powers.
It is not singular that Bonaparte ap- pears delighted, with revisiting the plains of Marango. To a man of his unboun- ded ambition, thirsting for military fame, the recollection of scenes in which he gained such a harvest of laurels, must e- ver be dear, "whilst memory holds her seat."
On Friday captain Stone arrived here from Canton, spoke the ship Mount Ver- non, of and from North Carolina, June 15 in latitude 26, 2, longitude 61; and was informed that the day before the Mount- Vernon, fell in with the French and Spa- nish fleet of twenty two sail, and that they were then about fifty leagues to the N. of Bermuda, or in lat 28, 32, long 61, 30.— Bermuda lies in latitude 32, 20, long. 64, 30; the fleets therefore must have bore S. E. by S. from the island, and about two hundred and seventy miles distant.— We are of opinion they are bound back to Europe; as they were working up into the latitude of Bermuda to clear the trade winds and will probably pass over the S. part of the Grand Bank; and then bear a- way for Toulon or Cadiz.
(Centinel.)
Mediterranean Affairs.
All the force to be employed the ensuing season, in the chastisement of Tripoli, has sailed for its point of destination. This offensive project, in our opinion, never was a wise one: But if force is able to ef- fect the object desired by our government, we think that force will speedily be assem- bled before Tripoli. It will be composed as follows:
   Ships. Guns. Commanders.     President 44 Commodore S. Barron, Captain Cox.   Constitution 44 Capt. Rogers   Essex 32 Capt. J. Bar- ron   Constellation 36 Capt. G. H. Campbell   Congress 36 Capt. L. De- catur   John Adams 32 Capt. Shaw.   Syren 18 Capt. Stewart   Argus 18 Capt. Hull.   Vixen 16 Capt. Smith   Nautilus [schr.] 16 Capt. J. Dent   Enterprise [schr.] 16 Capt. T. Ro- binson.  
Besides the above, are two gun-boats cap- tured from the Tripolitans, carrying one [copper] 29-pounder, and two brass how- itz each; ten gun-boats, each carrying two long 32-pounders, cutter-rigged; two bomb ketches, each carrying one 13-inch mortar and four nine pounders.
The rendezvous of this respectable force is at Malta; where our officers receive every support and civility in the power of the British administration there, to give; and this too, by order of that Bri- tish government, which Mr. Jefferson's hireling editors from Boston to Savannah (with the exception of one at Richmond) are in the daily habit of abusing by every blackguard epithet in their power to be- stow: And who shew the most childish
exultation at every instance of ill success which attends the nation, not withstanding all that has been prated about "equal and exact justice to all nations."
NEW YORK, July 10.

S. and his pa- pers; treated him politely, and detained him but a few minutes: could not learn their destination, but that they were from the West Indies full of troops.

"I this moment arrived here, via Cape- May, from Port-au-Prince. The brig Ann Maria, Starbuck, 14 days from Port au Prince, was spoke in lat. 37, 20, and 20 fathoms water, on Wednesday last, bound for New-York.

MONDAY, JULY 15.
The following paragraph appeared in a Boston paper of Monday last.
BRITISH FLEET AT ANTIGUA.
Capt. Lovett arrived here yesterday, from Martinico, spoke on the 10th June, British privateer from Antigua, which informed, that there was at that port, a British fleet of forty eight sail of the line!!! The next day, captain L. fell in with eight sail of British vessels steering for Martinico.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Martinique to his brother in Philadelphia, dated
St. PIERRE, June 25, 1805.
You will no doubt expect some news of the French and British fleets in these seas. You will be therefore informed that admiral Villeneuve is on his return to France with 20 sail of the line and some frigates. It is confidently reported and generally believed here, that admiral Nelson, with 12 sail of the line and 8 frigates, is now in pursuit of him.
Captain Mason, arrived at Boston on Saturday, from Point Petre, Guadaloupe, informs that previous to the sailing of the combined French and Spanish fleets, from that place, they pressed on board their ships a great number of the officers and seamen of the privateers then in port, and above twenty of the most skillful and experienced pilots to the island.
By the brig Henry from St. Yago de Cuba, we learn that the negroes in the neighborhood of that city, had revolted and committed great excesses. One gentleman, whose plantation was burned and the overseer murdered, came passenger in the vessel. We have not learned to what extent the insurrection had reached, but it is supposed to be considerable. [N. York pap.]
Though our last accounts give us nothing decisive, yet they represent the most active measures for the war in Europe. Of the Russian treaty less appears than before, and the national concerns seem to interfere with any expectations of important interference in the great controversy between France and Spain. While Russia has been busy in its attempts to force its troops into the northern parts of Persia, we are assured that the resistance has been worthy of better days, and that the Persians do not refuse the last defence of their country. It is represented that Turkey is more yielding and the Russians encroaching, but no facts have yet been published which discover a late violation of the Turkish territory. The Russians contemplate not only the trade of the Mediterranean, and of the Black and Caspian Seas, but have repeatedly examined the waters of Aral and Baikal, and of few seas do no accurate surveys exist. They also look towards the recovery of their ancient trade to China, free from the restraints which it now finds at Kaishta. It is even said, that previous measures have been concerted, which have obtained assurances of the best success. In accomplishing such great objects, we have nothing to censure our surprise at the conduct of Russia in European affairs. In regard to Turkey, predictions continue to be made that such a country as its European provinces contain, cannot long continue in its present defenceless state. Situated in the most happy manner for commerce, and almost necessary for the greatest nations of Europe, the temptation to seize and possess them, is almost irresistible. The northern provinces continue in the greatest internal confusion. The Austrians and Russians discover the state of Macedonia and the Morea, and the extreme timidity of the Porte strengthens his enemies. The last accounts from Egypt give Cairo to the Bey, so that Egypt is no longer under the Ottoman power, unless continued wars restore it. The condition of Syria is not represented as comfortable, and the new powers of Arabia contribute to the uncertain state of things in these countries. In regard to the new kingdom of Italy, its limits appear not to be settled. It is suspected that several of the neighboring states will be united to it from the various causes which their late revolutions have put in action, so that of the increase of this new kingdom, few doubts are entertained. In regard to Spain, a spirit of war pervades every part of the kingdom. The Spaniards have entered into the system of the French gun-boats, and their naval preparations are extensive and important. The co-operation of the French and Spaniards against Gibraltar is announced as the full
determination of the two powers, and nothing indicates delay in any measures for the most vigorous exertions. The fleets at sea determine that both nations are resolved to meet the English upon the element in which they have displayed their greatest glory. And no event has yet contributed to retard their naval arrangements. It is believed that the Brest fleet is ready for sea. Indeed that all their naval arrangements were ready at the first sailing of the squadron for the West Indies. In this crisis, all Europe is in full expectation of some most interesting events. The fleet which arrived at Martinico, had sailed from that island after a delay, which the first squadron most cautiously avoided. The destination of the fleet no conjecture can reach. What English fleets will follow them into those seas is still uncertain. It appears doubtful whether any part of the English channel fleet did attempt to follow them. The West India fleet under convoy which sailed from England in April, had put to Cork, in Ireland, in May. The troops in Ireland were under orders to march to Cork. The existence of the French fleet upon the high seas, is an event so new and important, that we may be sure of the most speedy information of every interesting occurrence. The Dutch fleets had the same activity as has distinguished the other fleets of the combined powers. In England their domestic affairs invoked many serious concerns. The affairs at the treasury, the new ministry and the fear of New Impeachments, involve the necessity of the greatest political wisdom. The catholic petition is deferred. The great attention to the fleet has obliged the nation to submit to a hot press, but no part of its courage is lost. [Salem Reg.]
A writer in the Charleston Courier, of June 14, addressing himself "TO WHOM IT SUITS," thus concludes:
"Look at the situation of our sea-coast! defenceless—a prey to picaroons, privateers and armed vessels of all nations. Our ports blockaded—our coasters and shipping robbed—our forts insulted—our harbors converted into pirate depots, where the very vessels which rob and disgrace us are supplied with provisions, refreshment, and God knows what, and where, it is more than probable, they have their agents, confederates, or co-partners—see the powers of Europe acting towards America as if it were merit to insult her; or rather, indeed, sporting with her tameness, in the eyes of the looking-on world. Disagreeing, fighting, and at enmity with each other, in every thing else, in this one thing they all perfectly agree, in treating America with indignity, insult and deriding contempt. Are you yet aware, sir, where it will end? Are you sure that, if neglected, it will not mount to a height too great to be reached, without strainings that may produce fatal convulsions in the state? For God's sake—for the honor of your country, for your own credit, rouse! Let loose the spirit of the country—let loose its money bags, and save its honor. The nation will, one and all, support you, if you call for it, and present a formidable face to those wrongs: You will find, then, indeed "all federalists, all republicans." But if you feel yourself unequal to the difficulties that beset you, put the executive sword into stronger hands; and if you have not the vigor and talents to perform the high functions bestowed upon you by the people, have at least the probity and patriotism to resign them."
Misrepresentations and Falsehoods in the National Intelligencer.
The National Intelligencer says, "The idea of a monarchical faction existing in this country, has by some been considered as an idle chimera; but by taking a retrospective view of the conduct of the party now in opposition to the administration, we will find proof "strong as holy writ" to shew that such a junto has existed since the peace of 1783, and that their object has been to destroy the liberties of their country."
In answer to this we give the words of Mr. Elliot, who must be supposed well acquainted with the views of some of the principal leaders of his party.
"Monarchical principles (says Mr. Elliot in his 10th letter) are confined to a few individuals of our country, and among those individuals may be placed some of our most ardent republicans."
Oliver Cromwell had a great itching for a throne; and he finally succeeded, to his hearts desire. Well, how did he manage the game, how did he dupe a people who were extremely jealous for their liberties? Did he avow his thirst for royalty? No, no, the cunning rogue knew better. By
constantly exclaiming against kings, and denouncing a "monarchical faction," he laid asleep suspicion against himself; till, on a sudden, he bounded into the seat of absolute power, and then he quickly made the silly multitude whom he had been flattering know their distance.
"Again, the National Intelligencer, says "Witness their attempts (that is, the attempts of the federalists) during the last year to excite a civil war, and thereby produce a dissolution of the union."
We confidently pronounce this to be a base slander: and we challenge proofs that the federalists have attempted, during the last or any year, to excite a civil war. On the other hand, the democratic party have in two instances, not only attempted, but effectuated a civil war, in the state of Pennsylvania; and a third instance seems near approaching.
Again, the Intelligencer says, "many of the leaders of this faction (the federalists) openly boasted of soon having it in their power to invade the southern states, and by declaring freedom to the slaves, hoped to see reacted in this devoted part of the union, those scenes of blood and carnage which have taken place in St. Domingo."
This we pronounce a detestable falsehood; and we challenge proof in support of the base and impudent assertion. What! many of the leading federalists wish to stimulate the southern slaves to murder their masters; wish to see the horrible scenes of St. Domingo reacted in this country; wish to witness the butchery of thousands of women and children! None but a diabolical spirit could prompt any man to utter and publish such foul and unfounded calumnies: yet these calumnies copied from the Intelligencer into the democratic papers, are circulating in various parts of the union, and particularly in Connecticut. [Connecticut Courant.]
ST. BERNARD, approaching near to his end, thus addressed his brethren: I leave three things to be observed by you, which to the extent of my power I have endeavored to practice. 1. I have not intentionally calumniated any one; and if any one has fallen, I have endeavored to conceal his misfortunes. 2. I have always confided less in my own, than in the judgment of others. 3. Whatever injuries I have received, I have never retaliated. These are the golden rules of St. Bernard.
FAMILY GOVERNMENT. "Let the child know it shall get nothing by roaring." Whining, crying and bellowing are childrens climax in the pathetic, and have a powerful influence over parents, who have more tenderness than judgment. When the child finds it can have prompt pay for tears and sobs, this ready currency will be coined on all occasions—what is worse they will often be counterfeited. This slobbering system is more pernicious in a family, than the funding system in a nation. It drowns beauty, and stifles the good humor and veracity of the mind. The smiling face of youth and innocence is the most pleasing sight that nature or art produces. I would give more, to see this living picture in my parlour than the buffs of all my ancestors since the flood. Nature generally completes her works; it is left to the human species to perfect themselves. Parents have it in their own power to heighten the bloom of youth with their habitual cheerfulness, or mar it with the distorted grimaces of ill nature.
Instead of paying the child for sobs and tears, grant a premium for smiles. If it cry for a favorite plaything, quiet its clamor and never grant its request, till it can make its suit in good humor. All this should be done for your own honor and the happiness of your children.
But who has no desire to oblige a good neighbor? If your friend calls to see you, the good humored vivacity of your children is the finest light you can possibly exhibit. The Museum has nothing more delightful, and the best band of music is not more pleasing than domestic harmony. When you can furnish your guests with this cheap though exquisite entertainment, why should you grate their ears with the discord of Bedlam? [The Hive.]
The facts which have led to the opinion which regards the old continent, that continual changes were made in the surface of the globe, by the retreating of the waters, have been observed on the continent we inhabit. Kenzie, speaking of the Peace river, and the land between it and the lake of the hills as far as Elk river, observes that it is formed by the quantity of earth and mud, which is carried down by the streams of these two great rivers. And of the lakes of that country he observes, they are now so shallow from the cause just mentioned, that there is every reason to expect, that in a few years they will have exchanged their character and have become extensive forests. Many circumstances combine to justify an opinion of the changes which the Caspian has undergone. An ingenious writer has lately brought together evidence from the successive maps of that inland and salt sea, which is now in dispute between the Russians and Persians. By a map taken from the face of the country, and compared with the map of Ptolemy, and then examined by the chart of Abulfeda, and
that of Vanverden by order of Peter the Great, as corrected by Danville, and then with the chart of Pallas, little doubt can arise of this fact within the reach of true history. Pallas, that able observer of nature observes, "the Gells which are scattered over this country, and which are the same that are found in the bottom of the Caspian, and which we never find in the rivers, the salt which remains in the soil, the salt ponds scattered over these countries, the extent of flat country in these deserts, are inconteſtable proofs that they must necessarily have been covered formerly with the waters of the Caspian. And it is to be presumed that this sea diminishes daily. No other cause can perhaps be assigned, than the gradual diminution of all seas without exception, of which the separation of Lake Aral, on one side, and of the Euxine on the other side of the Caspian, may be deemed an example. But looking in forms that from the United testimony of naturalists, the country around African is so impregnated with tea water that salt crystallises. This theory will open a primitive communication thro' all the northern parts of Europe. [Salem Reg.]

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 1, 1805. Polygraphick Painting.
THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively practiced by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a Citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to execute by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespeare Gallery, New York, by permission of the Proprietor: being
A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON,
Supported by LIBERTY, VIRTUE, and JUSTICE: VIRTUE is holding the emblem of the reward she merited. In the right of the piece, AMERICA, characterized as an Ab-Original, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is PAINTING turned to HISTORY, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer,
"There is none more worthy than Washington." The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public. To those who esteem his public services and his private worth, and to the patrons of improvements in the fine arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already furnished with different engravings on this subject, will, it is hoped, still find room for the present undertaking, when they consider, that it will be a PRINTING, and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil paintings—that it requires no glazing—that while their prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegorical figures.—The price also is reduced as to leave, comparative merits, no object.
Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery, (which is little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia; Robert Gray, Alexandria; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol-hill City of Washington; and generally by Booksellers throughout the Union; who will please to return their Subscription papers to Conrad and Co. Philadelphia, previous to the first of November next, when the work will be ready for delivery.
Frames will be procured, of any pattern, if required on the most moderate terms.
IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE PORTRAITS
Of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, On a smaller scale, 15 inches by 12; executed at the same process, and will be ready for delivery at the same time, on subscriptions of Four Dollars and Fifty Cents each, including a Gilt Frame. It is a principal aim of this work, to produce the most correct likenesses of this amiable couple.
One of the Paintings is now to be seen at Mr. Gadsby's Hotel, for a few days, who will receive subscriptions. As this copy is ordered to be sent to Richmond soon, another will be forwarded, if subscribers offer, to Robert Gray's, King street Alexandria, with whom subscribers may also enter their names. The Artist presumes that the secret art of Polygraphick Painting is known only to himself in the U. States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Massachusetts without finding a master of it. By this art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine the whole is so exact and beautiful a copy, that the mind is lost in conjecture as to the method in which it is executed.

Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN.
DRUGGIST; The following Valuable Medicines: Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters. PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittant Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow Fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholic, Colic, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious Pills, or Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colds and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle.—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste.
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
