NEW GER TIFTCATES

LIT. M ELLEN, Sir-tne cause OL humanity demands of me to give the following state ment: My wife had for six years been in decline aud pronounced by her Physicians to be in a consumptive state, and was attended by severe pain in her side, with Cough & difficulty of breathing, She was reduced so low as to be unable to get from her bed to the fire without aid. All hopes of her recovery had long been given up. In this situation, ,gas prevailed upon, as a last possible resort, vet without any hopes of success, to make use of :" Anderson's Cough Drops." She com menced the use of them in February last and after using two bottles, to the astonishinent of all, in the month of May following the health of my wife was entirely restored, and since which, her health and strength were perhaps never better. Feeling a deep interest that the public in general may resort to the same remedy, when their friends and relatives are apparently. or evidently on the brink of the grave, to rescue them from from the same. You are at liberty to publish the above.
 am respectfully, sc. #..
 JAMES H. STYLES. RhineJecI:, Dutchess co. fN. Y.) Nov. 8. l826.
 This is to certify that the subscriber was brought very low by splitting blood, attended with cough and catarrh, and that nothing afforded me real relief until commenced ta klnG AnOeFSOnS SOuSu DTOPSs thc uoe Ol which were the means in the hand of God of restoring me again to comfortable state of health.
 And do further certify that the wife of MT. Nathan Huntington, living in the same place was afflicted with very bad cough for num- ber of years, and that in 823 she was redu- ced so low that it was thought she must soon be in her grave, as she was scarcely able to walk from her bed to the fire, when she com menced taking Andersen's Cough Drops, the use of which, in short time so far restored her, that she was soon able to do good days work. l can cheerfully recommend this med icine to the public.

hold out temptation 10 fraud and perjury? Is
it not obvious that il goods are set at less than
their value, in'the invoice, the owner gains
one third part Of every dollar he depresses

all the revenue laws to be repealed because a
man may sin under thems The law, as 1t

temptation to defFaud and cheat in every kind
OF goods. bill before us has at least this
recommendation, that frauds can only be ell

The gentleman has also said, the operation oil

ment urged with much zeal and ingenuity,
that the gentleman had forgotten the common
dalton he had bestowed upon the square yard
duty upon cotton goods.
would, said Mr.. D., ask the gentleman If
he did not advocate that system-if he did
not vote for that law? And if he does not
now acknowledge the measure to have been a
wise and salutary one? But what is the
difference between the principle as applied to
cotrcns and to woollens? The want Of uni
formity is inherent in the system, and it cannot
be Invested of it. Yet the gentleman holds
the system to be most salutary in cottons. but
odious in woollens. 1t cannot be the principle
the gentleman complains of-for if duties are
to he considered as taxes, and taxes are TO be
assessed equally, then the duty upon cotton is
no less Objectionable than like duty upon
woollens Rn4 --iR not, said Mr.. ID. push

will therefore hasten to conclusion. 1t has
been remarked by the gentleman from
Delaware, (Mr. M'Lane,) that the depression
is only temporary. No matter, sir, from what
cause it springs. it has already endured for
many months, and whether it be temporary or
perpetual, if it continues to bear with its
present weight it will soon perform its work,
and the aid of this government will then be
unnecessary. Let US not then mock the
hopes, the feelings and the experience of the
manufacturers, with delusive promises of
future aid, but let US yield them prompt and
efectual relief

IMPORTANT.

GEORGIA AND THE CREEKs.-On the 9Th
inst. the President Of the U. S. sent an impor.
tant message TO Congress, relative to the aE
fairs with Georgia and the Creek Indians
Its length prevents our giving it entire this
week. BY the message, it appears that the
Creek nation have invoked the protection of
the United States, in defence of the territory
guaranteed to them by the treaty of the 22d
Of April last. They complain that survevors
from Georgia have been employed in survey
ing lands, within the Indian territory, as secur-
ed by that treaty, and the President informs
that some Of the surveyors have been arrested
in their progress by the Indians.
By the laws of the Union, there are two
modes of procedure, when lands of the In
dian tribes are trespasscd upon. BY one Of
them, il is made lawful for the military forcs
of the United States to apprehend every per-
son found on the Indian territory, in violation
Of the law, and convey them to the civil an
thority of the u S. in some one of the three
adjoining States, to be proceeded against in
due course of law. The law provides thar
any such offender shall forfeit sum not ex-
ceeding one thousand dollars, and be imprison~
ed term not exceeding twelve months. By
the other mode, such offenders, iffound within
