SUPERIOR ADVICE.
HAVING dedicated ourselves to the study, and
been ratified by the most considerable practice in that
branch which we thoeght proper to select, we trust that we have
not more misemeloyed our time, than those who, in the extensive
field of the profaim, are occasionally immersed in uncertainty,'
and cannot always attain that success which is acquired by ma-
centrating the intellectual power vs one class (4 disorders.
The diseases of Debility are peculiarly distressing, for they
bring with them a trails of coacomitain symptoms, and, by ado.
pression of all '.tal energy, existence itself becomes embittered,
whether they arise from the prevalence of ill example, the de-
structive habits of school-boys, or the less excusable indolgendos
of maturity.

SEASONABLE ADVICE.
THE fashion this Winter of braving the fogs and
cold of the evening, half undressed, has mult!plicd the
funale victims of those disorders for which the SYRUP of
DE V ELNOS is the only efficient remedy. Mr. Casnast does
hot entertain a hope to break the spell of fashion, and prevent
the shocking sacrifices made to modish necks and small melee—
Cut mu,t be left to the gallantry of some greater Knight; but
he takes the liberty of apprising the afflicted male and female,
of the superior efficacy of the VEGETABLE SYRUP, in all
Nervous, Debilitating, and Consumptive Affections; in Alfons,
of Scrophula, Scurvy, and Feminine Obstructions; and in all
disease, of the Liver and of the Blood—the primary principle
of all animal substances, and the common origin of all the he.
lateunt and all the solids of the human body.
The Syrup is prepared according to the Recipe of the late Mr.
SwAivetug, intrusted to his introedi to Successor and Nephew,
Mr. Caeaass giolle • by whom it is sold, at his house, No. 52,
Verner ',street, Oxford-street, (as it was formerly at 21, Frith-
street), at 13s. a bottle. It is also sold at Mr. Atkinson e, 126,

up and approved by the old Congress, in the y• es
1777, and soon after were ratified by some of the
States' their complete ratification did not take place
until the year 1781. The Sties Which possessed
small and already settled territory withheld their ra-
tification, in order to obtain from the larger States a
Coition to the United States of a portion of theii ad-
cant territory. Without entering into the reasons on
which this deinatid was urged, it is well known thee
they had an influence on Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New 'York, and Virginia, which States ceded to the
United States their respective claims to the territory_
lying north-west of the river Ohio. This cession wins
made on the express condition, that the ceded terri-
tory should be sold for the common benefit of the
United States ; that it-should be laid out into States,
mid that the States so laid out should form distiact
Republican States, and be admitted as members of
the Federal Union, having the same rights of sove-
reignty, freedom, and independence, as the other
States! Of four States which made this cession,
two pamitted, and the other two prohibited, Slavery.
The United States having in this manner become
proprietors of the extensive territory north-west of
the river Ohio, although the considerations contained
no express provision upon the subject, Congress, the
Only representation of the United States, assumed, as
incident to their, office, the power to dispose of this
territory; and for this purpose, to divide the same
into &tit= States, to provide for vhe tempotary go •
!eminent of the inhabitants therea, and for their ul-
timate admission, as new States, into the Federal Unto*.
The Ordinance for these purposes; tvhich• was
WWI Congress in 1787, contains certain *rd.
des, which are called Asides of compact between
the original States, end theteepie and %nes within
the said territory, for ewer to -remain unalterable,
unless by common consent." The sixth of those un-
alterable
articles provides, 14 that there shall be nei-
ther Slavery nor involuatary servitude in the mid tee- '
ritory.'‘
The Constitution bf the United States supplies the
defect that existed in the Articles of Confederation,
and has vested Congress, at has been stated, with
ample 'powers on this very important subject..,:Ao-
:itordingly, the Ordinance of 1787, passed by the old
4ongress, was ratified and continued by an Aet of
*it new Congress, during theii first 'Session under
the Constitution.
The State of Virginia', which ceded to the United ,
Mates her claims to this territory, consented, by bar
ddewites in the old Congress, to this Ordinance. Not
day Virginia, but North. Carolina, South Carolina,
and Georgia, by the unanimous votes of their dale- •
gates in the 'old Congress, approved of the Or&
alma of 1787, by which Slavery is for ever
in the territory north-west of the river Ohio.—
Without the votes of these States, the Ordinance
could not have passed; and there is no recollection
dim opposition from any of these States, to the act
of confirmation passed under the actual Constitution.
,Slavery had bong been established in these States—.
the evil was-felt in their institutions, laws, and ha-
bits, and could not easily or at once be abolished.-- ,
But these vete*, so honourable to these States, sari,=
demonstrate their unwillingness to _permit
the extension of Slavery into the new States whish
snight be admitted by Congress into the Union.
She States of. Ohio, Indiana, and Meeks, 'on the
north-west tithe river Ohio, have been admitted by
Consigns hue the Union, on the condition und,con-
fornsablx eo die articles of compact contained in the
Ordinance elle?, and by which it, is declared. that
there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude
in any el the said States.
Although Cooties: pcissess the power of maltisig
the exclusion of flowery a part or 'condition of the act
tadmittingsa new• State into the Union, they may. in
special .cases, and 'for sufficient reasons, forbear to
exercise this power. Thus Kentucky and Vermont
were adzilitted as new States into' the Union, without
laakingthe.airolition of Slavery the condition of their
admisika, In Vermont, Slavery never existed ; her
laws excluded the aunt. . Kentucky was formed out
