CGEGO1"XGGW A6k4CSG1SGGGEVC PLASTER! WV HILE this Plaster is useful in remov- w ing other pains, it is designed especi- ally as cure for the RHEUAIAT TYSN, a with which multitudes of the hu- man family are afflicted, and for which no effectual remedy has hitherto been offered to the public. In all cases this Plaster is to be applied to the hollow of the foot, which will have the tendency to draw the complaint en- tirely from the system. An article, then, that will cure this complaint, is a great public good. That this Plaster is not only safe, but if faithfully applied, an efectual remedy, the proprietor has full confidence.

~ sustained by that class of the dominant
party that professed ultra radicalism, that
delights in the theory of a weak executive,
and will sustain the practice OF violent as
sumption Of power in the executive officer |;
of that class who think government, or a
branch Of il IS nearer the mass Of the peo-
pie, and therefore more desirable, in pro-
portion as talents and attalnmen,s are en-
cluded from its administration who think,
because the machinery of Republican
government s, or ought 10 be, simple, that
of course the materials may be weak and
unpublished
This we consider the tendency of ma
terials composing the present dominant
party; and we might add with truth, that
a small portion, unwilling to adopt either
of the above noticed gentlemen, will natu-
rally fall into the ranks OF the minority, as
now constituted.
Should it be asked, whether the Rives
men and the Benton men are to quit Mr..
Van Buren-we answer no: but in our
government there is no necessity for con.
tnuinr partisans of the existing chief
magistrate. The vote or services previous
TO his election constitute claims enough +;
and whether rewarded with Office, or over
looked, there is no sacrifice of caste by
protesting attachment to another asplrant,
unless the chief himself shall have become,
not merely, the head Of the whole party,
but the leader of one division of The party,
with reference TO his successor. We may
consider the question as now settled, that
no man can be elected second time to the
Presidency, provided there is good chance
Of putting into his place, one pledged to
retain few Of his principal officers, and of
removing many. The division of parties.
then, to which we refer, is made in the be
lief that Mr.. Van Buren, cannot sustain
himself for second term. 1t is putting
forth of the dish in anticipation Of the
shower, if indeed it is not an agitation of
elements TO cause the storm. Should the
attraction Of these two partisans be INSULT
cient to leopard the reelection Of Mr. Van
Buren,, it is possible that the contest may
be postponed, for the apparent benefit of
Mr.. Van Buren,. but in reality to retain
ground and means for their future contest.
Mr. Rives and Mr.. Benton. we believe,
may now be regarded as rival candidates
for nomination; and so different are their
claims, and the character Of those to whom
they must respectively look for support,
that neither will postpone his claims for
the benefit Of the other so that we may
regard the factions as established, and the
parties as in embryo. U. S. GaS.

letters from the city of Mexico o the 18th
March. They give a wretched picture Of
the state Of that infatuated government a

political demagogues striving to build them

we dislike the man, we shall hail his eeva

the only man who can bring order out Of
the chaos and misrule into which they are
plunged. He will rule them with rod Of
iron, which they want. And we believe
that the undisturbed quiet in which he is
suffered to remain is from a consciousness
of his power and ability-and that none
