SWaim's Panacea.
[Fron. the Philadelphia Erenmg Post

From the Philadelphia Ecenmg Post.]
HAvING made the proper inquiry, we can
III vouch for the accuracy of the statement
contained in the subJoined communication
No one should hesitate to bear just evidence
to the merits of a medicine like that of Mr..
SwAIx's, which would seem to be very diff.
ferent from the nostrums of the day.
To the Editors Of the Saturday Evening Pot.
DIR. Gibson, Professor of Surgery in the q.
University of Pennsylvania, in his Lecture of
Monday last, spoke in high terms Of Swaim's
Panacea. He remarked that he had found it
decidly beneficial in chronic cases of Syphilis,
&c. and tina, he had known patients who had
labored under this disease for length of ime,
and tried almost every remedy commonly EN-.
ployed for its cure, with very little IL any ef
feet, but who, after using the Panacea, re-
covered quickly and entirely. He related g.
veral instances Of rapid and extraordinary res,
toration to robust health from state of the
most miserable weakness and infection, where
in repeated salivations had produced only the
mischief incident to the use of mercury. He
spoke likewise of DIR. Swain, personally, ac-
knowledging the generosity which he Lad
shown in the distribution Of his medicine to
the poor, and in the support even of whole f.
miles until cure was effected. The Profess
sor mentioned that he bad been censured by
Surgeons and Physicians for recommending
the Panacea of Swain, but Glat he thought 4
duty which he owed to suffering humanity
not to withhold the expression Of bis opinion
and experience ofits eficacious character.
ASTUDENT.
NJ We think it our duty to say, that We
are surprised to find that number Of spurious
mixtures have been got up lately, in imitation
of this most valuable remedy, and that several
strangers have been injured BY the mistake.
We would advise all persons who are in want
of such remedy, to apply where the genuine
is known to be had, MEDlCVS.

MASONIC DINNER TO LAFAYETTE.
Fyon, the Ameyic0u1

BALTIMORE, Dec. 2s.-Since our last
publication the city of Baltimore has
again been honored with the presence
of gen. Lafayette. At the previous vi
sits which he has paid our city, the
time and attention of the Nations
Guest was SO completely occupied by
the various testimonies of respect and
gratitude which were shown towards
him by grateful people, that it was
not in his power to accept an invitation,
which had been rendered to him by
the Grand Lodge of Maryland, to par
take of Masonic Dinner with them.
To suit his convenience the 9th Of the
present month yesterday was fixed
for that purpose, and accordingly on
Sunday afternoon, accompanied by his
son, secretary and colonel Peter Little,
our representative in congress, he ar
rived in this city from Washington
Upon reaching the lodgings reserved
for him at the Fountain Inn by the cor
poration of the city, carriages were
found in waiting to convey the party to
the seat of the venerable president OF
the Cincinnati, col. John E. Howard,
where they dined and spent the evening.
Yesterday morning the general re-
ceived the visits of number ofcitizens
at his lodgings, including the mayor
and members of the corporation. Be-
tween three and four O'Clock in the af-
ternoon the brethren assembled at the
Masonic Hall, when the Grand Lodge
was duly opened and awaited the arri-
val of the general and family. Itwas a
little after four when the general reach
ed the hall, and upon entering the
lodge was presented to the fraternity,
from whom, he received a welcome
which can better be felt than express
ed. About FIVE O'Clock the respective
lodges formed the line OF procession
according to Masonic usage, and pro
ceeded to the hall of entertainment In
is. Charles-street known as Concert
HalD the large ball room OF which had
been converted into dining apartment
for this purpose.

aposition, eimasine, that will not be
controverted I'VE shall spare no ex-
pense to establish such a one, and we
hope, and believe that we shall succeed
in the attempt. Butif, in despite Of the
most ample preparation, the closest APP
plicaion, and the exertion Of our ut
most capacities, we fail to realise the
hopes which the friendly expressions Of
our fellow-citizens have excited, we
trust that we shall close our editorial
career without the remorse of having
contributed to its failure.
1t remains to say word on the sub
ject of Advertisements. No fact can
be better established, than that the year
ly compensation, for advertising, has
heretofore been incommensurate with
the labor and expense attending it,
We are well assured that this paper
will have greater circulation than any
which has gone before it, and for com
mercial purposes must, in every re.
spect, be equal if not superior to daily
one; we feel confident, therefore, that
we shall not be thought unreasonable
in expecting considerable improve
ment of the prices paid to the Alexan'
dria Gazette.

Hon. SAMUEL SoUrHARD,
Secretary ofthe Nary, Washington.

The first of the three messages which were
transmitted to the House of Representatives
by the President, on Monday last, as reported
in our Journal of yesterday, related, as the
reader may recollect to the Treaty Of 1etlico,
which had been concluded so long ago as the
24th Oct. 1904, between the Cherokee In
dams, and d. Smith and R. j. Meigs, as COM
missioners on the part of the United States;
which treaty, it appears, had slept from that
period until the last session of Congress, when
the attention of the government being called
to it by the Delegation of Cherokees then in
Washington, it was, after its genuineness was
fully established, ratified by the Senate. The
documents accompanying this message will
be published at an early day: meanwhile we
Law before our readees letter on the sibject
land, which forms part of the Recommendation
the venerable Jefferson which was written In
answer to one addressed to him by the Secre-
tary of War: National Journal.
MoNTIcELLo, April IS, 1924.
Sir: l duly received your letter of
the 10TH inst. with the documents it
covered, relative to the treaty OF Oct.
"a. 1904, with the Cherokees, for the
purchase of lands. Recurring to me-
mory alone, ! can affirm that the treaty
enclosed to me, and now returned, is
genuine. 1t is well remembered, be-
cause no case of intruders ever occur
red which excited more anxiety or
commiseration with us, than that OF
Wafford's settlement which it covered.

U. STATES SHIP JOHN ADAMS,


Sir: have the honor to inform you
that, on my arrival at St. Thomas, |
was informed that lieut.. com'dt. Platt,
of the U. S. schr Beagle, who had vi
sited Faxyardo, a town on the east
coast of Porto Rico, about two miles
from the sea, for the purpose of ma
king inquiries respecting a quantity OF
dry goods supposed to have been de-
posted there by pirates, was, after be-
ing recognized as an American officer,
by the proper authorities there, i'm
prisoned and shamefully treated.
Indignant at the outrages which
have been so repeatedly heaped on US
by the authorities of Porto Rico,I pro-
ceeded to this place, where | left the
ship, and taking with me the schoon-
ers Grampus and Beagle, and the
boats of the John Adams, with Capt.
Dallas, and part of his officers, sea-
men, and marines, proceeded to the
port of Faxyardo, where, finding pre-
parations were making to fire ON us
from the battery on shore, | sent a
party of seamen and marines to spike
the guns, which was done in few mi
nutes, as the Spaniards fled on the
landing Of the party. | then landed
with two hundred men, and marched
to the town, spiking on the way the
guns of small battery placed for the
defence of pass on the road, and
reached the town in about thirty mi
nutes after landing. l found them
prepared for defence, as they had re-
ceived information from St. Thomas's
Of my intentions Of visiting the place.
1 halted about pistol shot from their
forces, drawn up on the outskirts Of
the town, and sent in a flag requiring
the Alcalde, or Governor, with the
Captain of the Port, the principal Of
tenders, to come to me to make atone
ment for the outrage, giving them one
hour to deliberate. They appeared ac-
cordingly, and after begging pardon
Gin the presence Of all the officers) of
the officer who had been insulted, and
expressing great penitence, permit
ted them to return to the town, on
their promising to respect all Ameri-
can officers who may visit them here
after. We then returned to the YES
sells, and left the harbor, after being at
anchor three hours.
AS we were getting under way, a
number of persons appeared on the
beach bearing white flag, and having
with them some bullocks, and num-
Der ofhorses apparently laden, no doubt
a present from the authorities Of the
place, which they informed me they
should send me.
There is no doubt our persons and
our flag will be more respected hereaf-
ter than it has been by the authorities
of Porto Rico.
Every officer and man, on this oc-
casion, conducted themselves i'll man.
ner to meet nv entire appreciation.
| have the honor to be, very respect
fully, your most obedient servant,
