subject Of the currency CT our country, in
vindication Of the course pursued by the las,
and present administrations OF the General
Government. thinks ! TO myself" when
commenced reading his production, here is
light on the all important subject of the cur.
rency OF our country; and more particularly,
the why's and whereiores of the suspension
of specie payments, by our banks; but "mur.
Their in lrish;" what has he brought forth
Why a kind Of hotchpotch, a perfect fanfar,

ii is amusing to see the "self.slyl,d Wings
&c. Oh! flesh! flesh! how art thou fishifed!
Qnlte presurnptuous is il not, in the minor
Ity, to be ~tac!ious towards their singh, noble,
and approved good masters" That they
are the outs ii is true, and it is most true, the
ms wish to keep them out.
Probably il is not quite so amusing, as he
may wish to make US believe, TO see the
"selfsiyled Wings" endeavour to place the
responsibility" where it properly belongs,
viz: on the self styled Democrats. | thank
him for that phrase, | think it will be made
plain that all may see it.
Why did he not 60 farther back than the
administration Of J. Q. Adams, and give a
list Of prices of produce anterior to that. |
suppose the much talked of coalition, had 4
particular and pleasant sound to his ear. !
would have thought such an expression as
"coaiition' was rather ticklish Just now;
inasmuch as the present incumbent of the
White House, has very lately succeeded in
forming a coalition, Of the utmost importance
to himself, and the rest Of the SINS" as a
means of retaining their fat offices, and pre-
venting the outs from a share in the spoils.
"Drowning men catch at straws." The
last coalition is composed of very discordant
materials, much more so than the former; If
there was a former. wonder if there is not
some danger from spontaneous combustion!
AS another means resorted to, by the last
coalition, is an offer made through the great
munifcence of Mr.. Calhoun, for the pur-
pose of making fair weather, with the new
States; is the giving the public lands to the
States, in which they lay. Which | now tell
him, is a hunbug, There appears to be
some ambition between Mr.. Calhoun, and
the "Prince of humbugers," to see which
will excel in that modern science. The CIV
ing the pvblic lands, is a humbug similar to
that, which the D., attempted to play off
upon our Saviour, when he offered him all the
kingdoms Of the world, if he would join his
'coalition," but had non to give.

CoNGREss.-We congratulate the country
that the Abolition question has received ITS
qu;e,us in the House. On the cath ultimo a
resolution offered by Mr.. Johnson Of Mary
land, was passed by a vote Of ia to l08
declaring that ssno petition for the Abolition
" Of Slavery, in the States, or in the District
I" Of Columbia, or in reference 10 the Slave
/" trade between the States, should DO re-
/" ceived or acted on in any manner".-Most
of the day preceding, and subsequent was
occupied in a debate up,n n resolution to
separate the public printing from the political
press.-ln the debate it was stated by Mr..
Graves, that the public printing In 1919,
amounted to S65,Ooo, while it now amounts
to S565,Oo0-Now that the abolition ques-
ton is disposed Of, we may reasonably hope,
hat the House W i'll attend TO the business of
the people-On this subject there is no small
share ofhumbuggery, among both Wings and
Democrats, particularly in the South. Both
parties seem to have been vieing with each
other, as to which shall appear to be the most
scrupulous guardians Of the rights Of the
Slave holders, and have been for weeks con-
suming the time of the House in the discussion
of the difference between t~wedledum and
twedledee. The agitation Of the question is
calculated to give a factitions importance and
consequence tothe movements of these misgui-
ded zsalotswhich if permitted to pass unheeded
would like much OF the faHaticism of our
Northern brethren, work its own destruction.
We have ever believed, that the doctrines
and principles Of Abolition, when correctly
understood, would not receive the counte-
nance Of the people of the North and East,
and that If thereYwas not more humbug-

our friends having enquired Of US, for a perl
odical al this character, we would recon.

should suppose, that a work that will be a
record of the experience Of our best and
most intelligent, western agriculturists, and at
the same time select such articles as would be
adapted to our climate md soil, from Eastern
Magazines, would be productive of better
results to the farming interest, than an asri-
cultural paper east Of the Mountains. The
nature Of our soil, and even the character Of
our productions, are so very different, that a
system Of cultivation, adapted to Eastern
farming, would in many cases be injurious to
us-ln addition to this, this Magazine is a
home pro ~luction, and looking to the great az
r%icultural prospects of Missouri in time to
come, such a work as proposed must he a
great desidera,um among the farming Glass;
1t is expected thar its publication will be
commenced in April, if a sufficient number of
subscribers be obtained to justify it.

gUNHE UNPARALLELED reputation which Peters
Pills have acquired as Medical Resto-
ratiye, is the most unquestionable proof that
can be given of their immense importance to
the afflicted, in almost every class of diseases.
The number of letters received from patients
recovering through their means is really prodI-
gious, and the complaints which they have
cured are almost as varied as they are numer-
Gus. But still there are some IN which they
are more especially beneficial than IN others
and among those may be named the too often
fatal complaints of the stomach and bowels,
such rs Colo, Fiatulence, and Indigestion, tor
which they are not only certain bat an nm
mediate cure.
Ii is wen known that from the dlsarrange
ment of the stomach and bowels, arise nine
tenths of all the maladies of adult and declining
! life that is the foundation of FlaLulency, Spas
modic Pains, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite,
&C., and that those N their turn give birth to
Dropsy, Liver Complaint Consumption, and
habitual lowness of spirits; therefore Peters
| pills being the very best medicine which has
4 ever been discovered for the incipient diseases
of the intestines, are necessarily the surest
nyeyentives of those dreadful, and also general
disorders which embitter mature life, and drag
so many millions to untimely graves.
-Inspeaking thus, DIR. Peters arrogates moth
ING to himself that has not been conceded by
the public, He is no needy quack or unknown
speculator, who comes before the world as his
/, own herald and witness, but is placed IN a
responsibility of situation by the patronage
which he has enjoyed for years, and whlch Is
increasing to ar extent unprecedented IN thu
annals OF medicine, that makes him careful g
assert nothing which is not borne out by thu
most infallible proof, and hence he does not fea
to be put to the test in any thing which HI
Q has promised respecting his Pills.
l. DR.. Peters is most happy to be able to stat'
: on the authority of great number Of regula
a physicians, that wherever his Vegetable Pill
> have been introduced, they have almost super
ceded the adoption of mercHfial experiment:
