TO THE PUBLIC.

The great benefit which ! have exper-
enced from Rogers's Vegetable, &c. and a
firm persuasion that it may afford relief OF
Others, induce me TO make every laudable ex~
ertion for It's distribution.
For Eve years preceding the last of Dec
1904, in consequence of taking a violent cold
Z had been afflicted with the Asthma, a dis
order which T conceived to be hereditary, my
father and grandfather both having greatly
suffered from it. The disorder increasing
rapidly upon me, in the spring of 1907, l
consulted DR.. G. L. Seegcr, but the urgency
Of his business prevented him from attending
at that time, particularly to my case. My
business made 1t necessary for me to leave
home, and be absent the greatest part of sum-
mer, which deprived me of the able profess
sional assistance of DR.. Sceger. In Sept.
last, a severe cold brought on 3 violent cough,
and the disorder assumed an aspect more Sc
rious and alarming than at any former period
II was extremely de6iitoted, emaciated ard
confined. Such was the irritabiIity of ny
lungs, I was obliged TO use the greatest eau
ton in the act of respiration. After a free
use of Rogers's Vegetable, &c. for about two
months, l was perfectly relieved Of the dread
full cough which had so long afflicted me, and
completely cured of every symptom of the
Asthma-In short, blessed be God, / have
continued in sound health ever since.-As
these facts may be important to those unGor-
tunate individuals who are suffering from the
same disorder, / have been thus particular in
their detail. And I dc not hesitate to declare
my solemn conviction, both from my own ex-
perience and observing It's effects upon others,
that Rogers's V. P. d. is an easy, safe and
eHectual remedy for coughs and Asthmas,
and is the greatest antidote to all pulmonic
complaints that the world has ever witnessed.

of more importance to the practitioner, than
the faog, that many Of the most difficult and

where the changes Of the weather, are ire

FOR THE GAZETTE.
Mn. SHIRLEY,
Ills hoped the people will not soon
forget the ann-rehubiiean conduct OF
those men, who have opposed and CEN
sured the late town.mee,ings; and have
seryilely hatlered the Administration
for lis absurd and Iuinons policy. In
the exercise OF constitutional right,
whilst suffering under the arbitrary and
oppressive measures OF their fu6fc SER
Dasfs, the people have been denounced
T. as rebcis, aud declared worthy of mill
| iary ssw. Yes, there are men among
us n s.frfnip description of men, who
boast much Of their love of liberty and
the people, with His Honor, the LII.
Governor, at their head ; who have the
presumption TO condemn the citizens
for daring to express their opinion OF
their public functionaries, and for pre-
senting remonstrances against meas
ures which bear SO heavily upon them.
! This anti-republican conduct" 1--WE
repeat) sit is hoped will not soon be
forgotten. But for the batteries and
leceplions practised by the leaders Of
the Je6ersonian karty in the northern
, States, the embargo laws had not prob
ably been continued six months. Tho
these laws were recommended by Mr..
Jcfcr8on and adopted by his humbie tools
at Washington, it is owing to the APP
N obatory petitions * resolutions from
this Dart of the country, that they have
been mai,, tanned to the present time.
For perseverance in this destructive
policy, we must thank hhose men among
us, who had rather compliment Mr..
jefferson and retain their political iniin-
ence as the heads of a party, than give
their real opinion respecting the meas
ures of the Cabinet. Besides the SER
vile behaviour OF our democratic mem
bers OF Congress, we must look to the
arts and Batteries Of our Lepi lln.oLi',

cur .nort5x5, our Canas, OH. hhgs,.S
our RihleyS, in order fally to account
for the sufferings which the people
have publicly endured. Many OF the
very men, who have advocated the en-
barge policy, have been convinced from
the first, that it was weak and yuinous
measure.
But it is not SO much the folly and
insincerity OF these men, for which they
merit our indignant recollections, as
their dereliction of genuine republican
and constitutional principles, and their
support Of measures fatally hostile to
the liberties OF the people. Like the
Tories in IVA and l775, they approve
of every act of administration though
founded in an assumption of power di-
rectly contrary to express provisions OF
the Constitution The Tories Of that
day were ready to apologize FOR all the
arbitrary measures Of Lord .Narth and
The British bfimSvy--and those at the
present day possess the same princi-
plies, whatever appellation they assume,
who tell US, " the people already know
enough of the views of administrations
that our Rulers Can do no wrong-and
tho they violate the Constitution, that
it is our duty to submit"

The Embargo has been oil hall do
zen times since our last, but Eotwith-
standing it il strong as ever. In truth,
there appears to be nothing done ye''
which can be considered as any thing
more than electioneering tricks. All
must remember with what confidence
it was affirmed from very high authoi'
ty, just before the important elections
last fall, that the embargo was coming
oil, and how perfectly groundless, was
the assertion. Even the very terms on
which i, is talked of taking off the en-
barge, are little calculated TO help New
England commerce. There is nothing
short of complete change of men,
from Town Officers up to the presi-
dency, that will restore things to pro-
per order. Who can think of trusting
those that have persevered for years in

The News

Brought by British ship to New-Yort
appeared, on the first perusal, OF peculiar.
ly gloomy aspect as it regards the cause oil
suffering humanity We were net wlthou,
apprehension tina, the Spanish patriots bad
AGAIN suffered severely from the mighty
Destroyer. But second perusai has dlssi.
patcd our fears.
BY reference to the last prior intcllg.
cuce from Europe. published IN the Free
mans Journal oi the 21tll January, contain
ing London dates TO the 4,h Dece mher,
with information from the seat of war in
Spain up TO ths 25th of November, and com
pairing IL with the news how brought, ii will
readily be discovered hat the latter is only
conhrmatcry Of the def at OF Blake at Du-
range near Biiboa and his mastery retire at
and fshting to the 25th November.
The former accounts TO tie 25,h Nov
stated expressly that Blake and Romano
had been defeated, and that they were en-.
deavouring to join Sir John Moore and Sir
David Baird, the former of whom was at
Salamanca, and the latter at Astorga Tins
was brought Immediately from Span to
England. The probability then was. that
the French who were at Valladolid would
push on to Madrid. The present accounts
have been received at St. Kits from Lisbon,
near 200 miles from the theatre of war, and
states that after completely vanqulshing
Blake and Palafox Romano is meant the
Freaeh entered Madrid about the Ist Dec.
that is, fre days after our former accounts
Is it possible, that after fighting nearly two
weeks, and beng so defeated, Blake could
IN tve days muster another army fit to op.
pose the French and suffer another grand
defeat. The fact is, the news formerly
received from London and that now receiv.
ed at St Kits from Lisbon, are only differ.
ent accounts Of the same affair.
London papers of Dec IS, says they have
no intelligence from Spain later than their
former ativices, and nothing but vague
report of Castanos' defeat and the intended
retreat of the British forces from Astorga
and Salamanca, which is all conjecture.
The ST. James.s Chronicle of December 10,
indeed goes further and is quite positive
but the St. James's Chronicle in London is
OF the same tidney, and about as much celeb.
rated for its responsibility and veraci,y as
fhe Aurora Of Philadelphia. The extract
OF a letter from a British officer in Spain, is
apalpable fabrication of some writer for the
Chronicle.
we appeal to every reader of common
sense, to say, whether this view of the sub
Ject - not correct.
Indeed, the only new News brought By
th's arrival is, the Report that admiral Coch-
zane a, Antigua had received dispatches

Some account Of The proceedings at So
co 7ogvn Meeting.
After the Moderator was chosen, & the
warrant, SC. read, Mr.. Cyrus King explained
the object of the meeting, and in a lucid &
elegant manner described our grievances &
distress. He concluded BY reading some
resolves, which, if adopted, he thought
would tend TO relieve them, and laid them
on the tablc.-Mr. Thornton got up, with
his hat on--his back to the people, and in {.
low ana feeble voice addressed the modera.
tor told him che was no speaker-he was
not bred an orator." and made speech Of
two hours long threading Gideon Changers
pamphlet, and newspapers, could be called
a specify He repeated all the slang a
gainst the federalists which he had collect
ed since he has been Marshal Of the dis
trct, but not word against the matter in
the resolves which had been read. He was
answered by Mr.. King, who concluded by
Offering the first resolve on the paper before
the moderator which resolve WAS read, <
the motion seconded. Mr.. Thornton objec.
ted to considering the resolves angb. Mr..
Moody Representative from Saco) iikcw
objected, as did also Capt Seth Storcr. He
said he was not prepared to act against
resolve TO raise the embargo Mr.. King
commended that his NATION was in order be-
fore the town, and ought TO be acted upon.
The moderator, an ignorant democrat, and
tool for that party, got up, and put the mo-
ton" The question is, gentlemen, whe-
ther you will accept these resolves in gross,
or singly; aud if so, please to manifest it
by the usaal sign." The people did not
know how TO vote--somc voted, some did
not. Mr.. Moody begged leave TO career that
NOTION" Mr.. moderator, will put this
motion--to sec If the town will accept these
resolves in gross or individually 20 THIS of
course occasioned smile, from those who
perceived Moody's ignorance. MIR. Thorn
ton corrected the motion. The people still
did not know how TO vote Moody told the
moderator and the people, that II was only
necessary to tell the gentlemen present,
who ii was that offered the resolves, & then
they would know how to vote The mod
orator was base enough 20 put the question
according TO Moods's direction. 1t was
then uncertain how the question stood. The
house was polled. There then appeared,
from the best calculation that could be
made, (they were not conunted) to be a.
bout 100 to 40 against the resolves. Mr..
Thornton then offered some resolves. Moo
dy said, /" I will make motion, gentlemen,
that we accept squire Thornton's resolves
unanimously" 1t was seconded /; they we're
accepted. Thus ended this disorderly
meeting The above may be relied upon TO
be correct. They were Witnessed by the
writer Of this article.
+. S. Unnecessary, we will furnish some
quotations from IS squire Thornton's"
speech, such as the climax of the old
woman who went twelve miles for peck
