FOR THE AMERICAN wArcHMAN.

Mr.. Editor-It appears from an advertisement
inserted in the Gazette of your place, that there has
been discovered lately, by person in Philadelphia,
certain nostrum which is admirably calculated to
produce complete relief from that very loathsome
disease called ague and Fsrer in the short space of
twenty -four hours, and that too, without exciting
the smallest degree of "commotion in the system
of the most delicate" This medicine, | have been
credbly informed, consists OF eight small parcels
snugly put up and enclosed in sheet of printed
directions for making use of the same--these par
cells consist of three different kinds of powders, viz:
Emetic J'arter, CatomeL * Jatap, and the sir
remaining powders not known, but have very much
the appearance OF putrerized charcoal, together
with small phal of fluid, which ii not altogether the

HAYTI, OR SAINT DOMINGO.


Hayt is situated between the islands of Jamaica
and Cuba, on the west, and Porto Rico on the east
and extends from l7s 54' to % N. lat. and from
$50 GO to 740 81 w. long,. 1t is about 900 miles
long from east to west; about 100 in breadth and
contains about 5000 square miles.
Face of the Country, Soil and Productions.
An elevated chain of mountains called the Cibao
mountains, commences near Cape St Nicholas and
pursuing south east direction across the island,
Terminates near Cape Espada. Three submits
near the centre of the range, said to be about
5000 feet above the level of the sea- western
spur from the principal range, ends at Cape ST.
Marc. A chain in the north east, called Monte
Christi, commences at the bay OF the same name,
and terminates at the bay of SANTANA In the east
le.n part of the island extensive plains,
mas, occupied by immense herds of swine, horses,
and horned cattle. Eastward from the city OF St,
Domingo they stretch out TO the extent of 80 miles
lin length, by 90 or 25 in breadth The soil in gen.
leral, is we'll watered and fertile in the highest de-
gree, producing every variety of vegetable for use
and beauty. The plains alone, according to Ed
toards, are capable Of producing more sugar, and
other ratuabLe commodities than all the British
Vest Indies put together and nothing is wanting
to render these fertile Districts scene of successful
cultivation, but suitable degree of industry and
Iterprise among the Spanish colonists. They are
sunk, however, into state of such deplorable ndo-
lence that great part of the country is merely a
beautiful wilderness-The principal productions
sugar. coffee. and cotton, which are produced in
abundance, and ola fine quality. The woods abound
with mahogany and other valuable timber. This
description which is taken from the American Atlas,
lit will be seen, relates principally, to the fsrmer
Spanish part of the island. The French part was al
ways better managed and is now, under its free and
liberal governments in state of high cultivation as
will also be the Spanish since it has come under the
controul OF the Haytens as it must feel its influence
in directing the hand of industry the cultivation
of soil richer and more profitable than tina mines

Now, sir, it must be evident to every person Of conn

debility alone, would so far reduce and PROSTATE the

In making these few remarks, have no desire to
deract in the least, from the merit of the discovery,
for it may be very beneficial if taken at a proper
stage of the disease but only to show the absolute
necessity of vending with patent medicines such d.

attending diseased persons, to be very careful in the
use of them and not to put the life Of the patient in

FOR PIE WATcRMAY,

As few days will determine the result, which OF
she two candidates before the public is, by the
sarages of the people Of Delaware 10 be their Gov
ernor for the next term of three years to GOMEZ and
as have objections to Judge Booth, and do think
that he ought not to be Governor shall briefly state
some Of them.
The state has been unfortunate in the death Of
their Governors and suffered much on this account,
in the frequent recurrence of elections for the Office.
The advanced age and great corporeal and mental
debility of Judge Booth, have rendered him unable
fully to perform the duties of Judge for some
years past, and makes it matter of doubt whether
he will live the term of service for the next Cover
nor, if elected. In the event of his death we, the
people, shall be where we now are, contending
ior Mr.. Booths successor.

FGLLoW CITIzENs,-I regret exceedingly, that
my name has been mentioned at the Red Lion
meeting as one Of The Representatives for this Coun
ty to the next Legislature. The nomination was
made without my consent, and contrary to my re-
peated and express declarations. But whilst make
this statement, hope, that | may not be consider
ed as casting any reflections on the Delegates who
attended that meeting. Itappears that certain oc-
currences took place at the meeting which did not
correspond with the wishes and feelings of the dele
gates they, therefore, induced to believe, that
under existing circumstances they we're at liberty to
make use of my name-and this believe they did
from the purest motives, with view to promote the
best interest Of the party. But for reasons which
need not here state, am constrained thus publicly
10 declare that cannot in justice to my feelings
consent to be considered as candidate at the en-
suing election. return my unfeiGned thanks TO
my sincere friends for the many manifestations they
have given me of their friendship, and especially
aor the preference in the present nstance-yet for
she reasons ntmated, l must begleave to decline
being considered candidate |, therefore hope
that the Delegates will select other person in
