REPORT or TIE COMMITTEE,
Appointed at the Meeting of Merchants, at Ma.
sonic tall OH the 18th of April, 1887.
THIS Committee having been convened upon
the day after It's appointment, we asccrtalned
that large majority of our number could not
leave the city without serious Inconvenience &,
loss, and we therefore appointed sub-commit-
tee OF u to repair to Washington and present
to the Executive the rCmonStrance of the Mer-
chants of New York. In the interval between
the nomination Of this Committee and the day
fixed for its departure, several of the Mem
bcrs found that the increasing difficulties by
which they were surrounded, made their pres
cncc at home indispensable and accordingly
only nine We're able to enter upon their duty
with which rc were originally charged.
These gentlemen reachcdthe Capitol on the
evening oftha I'd inst, and on the following
morning their Chairman addressed the follow
inc note to the PreSdant-
10 Marian Van Buren,,
President Of the United States.
Sir i have the honor to inform you that a
Committee has been appointed by meeting
Of the Merchants of NV York, for the pur
pose of addressing the Executive upon the
present distressed condition of that city.
With profound respect,
Your most obedicnt servant,

Of every true friend ot his Country.
The arbitrary use Of the Vcio. The de-
stroying of bills by neglect to return them
within the prescribed period, the excessive,
if not illegal exercise OF the power OF re-
moval from office, and the Presidents as

We trust that by strict adherence TO 4

THE MARRIAGE FESTIVAL.
BY MRS. ABBY


Festivities are fit for what is happily conclu-
ded at the commencement they but waste the
force and zeal which should inspire us. OF all
festivities, the marriage festival seems the most
unsuitable; calmness, humility and silent hope,
beit no ceremony more than this"
(Goame.
Lldy, thy merry marriage bells are ringing,
And all around thee speaks of fcsta nirth
The loss of one so good and fair is bringing
AIethinks strange gadness for her fathers
hearth
Yet thou amid the throng art pcnsiye sitting,
And well | know these revel5 cloud thy bliss
And that thou deemSt such triumph unbe6tng
A solemn and important rite like this.
These howery wreaths, these sounds of exulta-
tion,
Some victor's glorious deeds might celebrate
But thou canst claim no proud congratuaton,
Untred, uncertain, is thy future fate;
Nor would true friends brilliant spell cast o'e
thee,
Giving 10 .irlhood's dreams delusive scope,
But rather bid the view thee scene before thee
With calm humility and silent hope.
Thine is path by snares and tolls attended,
Yet, lady, in thy prudence con6de
Thou art not by mere mortal aid betrended,
Prayer is thy stay, and Providence thy guide !;
And should thy coming years with ills be laden,
Thou safely may st abide the storms Of life,
lfthe meek virtues OF the Christian maiden,
Shine forth as brightly in the Christian wife.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The study of Medicine has, in all ages
of the world, been considered ms one of the
mos, important subjects, in which the mind
of man can be employed. Yet, notwith-
standing thousands of years have elapsed,
and millions of volumes have been written
on the subject, the present fashionable sys-
TEN of practice is, in the highest degree inn
perfect aud uncertain. DR. RUSH compar-
ed it to an Improbable temple, uncover
ed ut the top aud cracked at the foundntion."
"What unaccountable perversity is in our
frames," says DIR. HERvEY, " that we set
ourselves SO much against every thing new!
Can any one behold without scorn, such
drones of physicians, that, after the space
of SO many hundred years experience and
practice Of their predecessors, not one sin
ule medicine has been detected that has he
least force directly to prevent, oppose, md
rxpel n continued fever. And should any,
by more scdulous observation, make the
the least step towards the discovery Of such
remedies, their hatred and envy wouid swelt
against rim ike a legion of d.rik. And
this has always been the case"
Whenever an individual presumes to diff
fer frum the opinions of the Medical Facul-
" of the present day, he IS sure to be per-
secuted and abused, his character calum-
mated, and his actions and medical practice
rldiculed aud mlsrepresented. In many OF
our States, if n person has not obtaiaed n
dipIoma-a piece Of parchment from some
medical society, he is subject to fine and
Imprisonment, should he dare to admins
ter particle of medicine, aud take any re-
ward or remuneration for SO doing. But
MI this persecution has no other effect, than
to open the eyes of the people to their situ-
a,ion. TRuTH is abroad in the world, and
the spirit Of enquiry has gone forth, and the
people are beginning to awake, aud shake
of the chains Of pampered aristocracy,
with which. they have been so long BURDEN
cd aud cnsIaved and the day has arrived,
when men of learning and genius are nei-
iher afraid nor ashamed, but are proud to
nvow themselves THoMsoNIANs, Of the
Thoms oman school" "a school not in the
decline and about to perish, but one begin.
ming to revive, to put on strength" and
which has extended its influence through
every section of our country, from Maine 10
Georgia, and from the Atlantic to the wes-
tern Willis, and will continue to spread,
till the name Of THOMSON is resounded
throughout ,Lc world, from the Equator to
the Poles"
The vegetable remedies, which the God
OF Nature has scattered with a lavish, hand,
over every hill and valley of our country,
