Grand Ambitious Corrective,
The Jaundice is difcovered by want OF ap-
petite, coltvenels, dullnes and oppreliions, at
times an irre6lti5le propen6ty for leep, and
at others, too great watchfulness, yellow
nefs is by degrees DILUTED over the complex

N proeels Of time the blood acquires ten
dency TO difolution and putrefaaion; in
thele cafes il either degen-rates into dropfy
or ends in an apoplexy. A difcharge by u
rine is conddered by the nioit learned of the
protection, as means for length of time to
preferve the life Of the patient. Thar by an
evacuation of bilious mater, the iyftem may
be freed from the bad coniequences which
enlue on its ltagnation in the habit; TO accom-
plilh which defirabIe effect, and TO correct
and prevent the putridity Of bile, better

aomach is invariably fortified, appetite and
digeftion effeaually promoted, ard plentiful
perfpiration produced. They pofeis moreo-
yer the property, peculiar to themfelves, of
qualifying and ameIiorating thoie infamatorY
pernicious qualities, inherentin ardent fpirits

peculiarly adapted TO cIeanfe The urinary paf-
cages, they are ingularly fervineabIe in drop

the blood, and invigorating The whole lyGtem.
From their celebrity as an antidote sgainff
the fcurvy, they are particularly ai-uiated
for iea-faring perfons, u whoie attention
they are respectfully recommended. Perfons

Mr.. KINNEY
Mr.. SPEAKkR-I am a federalist but
1t always gives me pain when l find divi-
sion OF sentiments upon any subject that re-
lates to the conduct Of the United States
towards foreign nations. find on this sub
Ject there is division, even amongst those,
belonging to what is called the republican
party. fl am compelled to vote, shall
vote against the resolution now in your hand,
but move that the further consideration
thereof, be postponed till the 31st of March
next.
MR. McHENRY said, that on this questi-
on he should call for the Ayes and Noes
Mr.. SINGLETON. Representing as do
most respectable portion of the state,
cannot consent to give a silent vote on this
question. The House must therefore in
dulge me with few remarks.
/ am decidedly in favour of the Resoluti-
on proposed. ] conceive that there Is but
two modes of supporting any government {:
the hrst is an enlightened confidence in our
public Servants the second is blind ac-
I quiesccnce in the orders ola master. The
! first is the government of reason and the
| second, is perfect tyranny In every other
country under the sun, except our own, the
ldSt iOIiH Va bOFGInUCI prevails /. ana tt ~
! only in our own, that an administration is
I 20 be found, which has no other support
for its measures, than the confidence ofthe
people. The only question then before us,
is, should we express Confidence In the
present administration
! Two preliminary questions must be de-
cidcd, before we can determine this point.
The first is, have we really confidence
in the present administration the second
IS, If we have, ought we now to express it !
Mr.. :. declared, that on both Of these ques.
tons he bad not the least hesitation in dcci-
ding in the affirmative. He had the uosl
unlimited confidence in tho administration
and he deemed il necessary to express it
Such a testimonial was the best reward o
public servants. II serves TO strengthen
the virtuous ambition of public servants
1t is the political talisman, which charm
to sleep all the virulence and activity oft
opponents. Once break il into pieces, an,
you dissolve the only incentive which cal
exist towards increasing the virtuous en-
thusasm Of our public servants, and the on
ly check upon the bold hostility Of les enc
mics.
Mn. MILLER (of Powhatan.)-I am nc
IN the habit of obtrudiag my sentiment
upon this house; nor did expect that th
lpresent discussion would be called up.
