lowing paragraph in reference TO 1t is from
the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette:
A scientific gentleman Of our city felt so

learned that the machine is the invention

ken TO the mill and made into paper is run

is supplied by roller moved by machinery.
Mr.. Thomas Trench is making a machine

MY dear sir: enclose an extract from
the hteLigencer, which will show You what
those who are opposed to me are making Of
the letter Of your correspondent, re-pub<
lished in that paper. Know not who your
correspondent is, nor have | any reason to
believe that he was actuated by any unkind
feelings towards me in writing the letter,
but | must say, he has not placed me here
in my true position or one thui is agreeable
to me. j am no aspirant to the Presidency,
or ever expect to be. Tohold me up a. such
is TO do me great injustice, and weaken me
in my effort to carry out the principles and
policy for which | have long commended, and
which | hold far more dear than any thing
in the gift Of the Government, or People.
To accomplish an object | hold 50 high 10
and has been the sole motive, for many
years, for my remaining at my post here, and
whenever | find that my presence is no long
er ofavail towards it I shall cheerfully retire,
leaving TO others to struggle for an honor,
which, however high or worthy Of e~ontesi,
has !oay had bat few charms for mel AZ
to the %slitical movements here, to winch
your correspondent alludes, m ref..fo to
what he calls "the succession" AMI which
he says is absorbing every thing else, |
know nothing. Ii they exist, he dc > NAl
in presenting me as passive as to ": atlseos
ing on. All who know me, know tk It tbers
is not a member Of congress who takes lea
interest in that TO which he alludes.
1t is well known to all my friends here,
that my wish, individually, is, that they
should be perfectly passive to what relates
to office, and to vote for the names Of those
presented by those with whom we are act
ing, unless there should be some valid per-
sonal objection, in order that we might have
weight in carrying out the measures
we desire.
In all this, ! make no complaint, nor do !
intend censure, and had the letter appeared
in a paper Of any other State, or ia any 9TH
er than a friendly one Of my own, would
have passed without notice from me. But,

Important Caution !!

TT is singular fact and one much 10 be regret
l. ted that valuable medicines as soon as they
become popular and have received the test and
approval Of discriminating public, are sure to be
counterfei,ed and thus a bad and spurious article
is Immediately palmcd upon the unsuspicting as
the genuine. This has been VIGOROUSLY the case
with all popular trled and truly valuable medi
cines tor years past, and will probably continue
TO be the case for years to come,
The base and contemplate counterfeiter in
this way meanly takes advantage of all the ef
forts and the advertising used by the proprietors
of the genuine article to get their medicines into
use and deserved oouarity. II is therefore not
less the duty than it contributes to the safety of
every honest individual in the community 10 ex.
pose, !rown down, and forever after distrust all
heartless ingrates who thus irresponsby trhe

that he is supplied with Pill from Druggist
