Moffat's Life Pills.

THESE medicines are indebted for
their name to their manifest aud sensible
action in purifying tie springs and chan
nels of life, ami cn.iuing them with re
newed tone and vigor. In many hundred
certified cases which have been made pub
lie, and in almost every species Of disease
to which the human framei is liable, the
happv@ effects of MOFFAT'S LIFE
pills AND PHENIX BITTERS have
been gratefully and publicly acknowledge
ed by the persons benefited, and who
were previously unacquainted with the
beautifully philosophical principles upon
which t'.ey are compounded, and upon
which they consequently act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend
themselves in diseases of every descrip-
ion. Their first operation is to loosen
rom The coats of the stomach and bowels,
he various impurities and crudities con-
;tantly settling around them; anG tu re-
move the hardened faces which collect in
the convolulion of the small intestines.
Olher medicines only partially cleanse
these, and leave such collected masses be,
hind as TO produce habilual cosliveness-
with all its train of evils, or sudden diar-
rhea, with Its imminent dangers. This
fact is well known TO all regular anato-
mists, who examine the human bowels
after death and hence the prejudice of
these well informed men against quack
medicines, or medicines prepared and he
raided TO the public by ignorant persons.
The second effect of tie Life Medicines is
to cleanse the Kidneys and the bladder,
and by This means, the liver and the lungs,
the heulthful action of which entirely de-
pcnds upon the regularity Of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red
color from the agency of the liver and the
lungs before il passes int" the heart, be-
ing thus pnr.!ic,i by Il leu., and nourIshed
by food coming from clean stomach,

whether the people shall retain The Govern

SUB.TREASURY BLUE RUIN!

The Federal papers are in a wilderness OF
difficulty TO know what to make of the great
improvement of business since the passage of
the Sub-Treasury. To get out of a scrape,
and parry of the indignation Of an insulted
and misled people, they strive TO hide their
disgrace in the declaration that the revival of
trade is owing to the prospects ofLiarY ison's
election! If that is il, it is all on "borrowed
capital" and the spectators "will break" in
about thirty Gays!--for then we intend TO
announce Mr.. Van Buren's reelection by a
glorious majority. The Banks have done
their worst, and as the rotten ones 90 by the

EMOCRAC Y.
BY REV. w. S. BALCH.

The system of democratic government is
most beautiful in its structure and benevolent
in his operations. 1t is a transcript Of the
government Of God. 1t is supported by the
profoundest researches of philosophy, by the
sublimest teachings of religion, the purest
piety, the deepest virtue, the firmest faith.
the brightest hope, the most extensive chart
ty. 1t gives to each the right Of all. Each
man is estimated a unit, the sum of which
makes up the whole. What is the right
of one, is the right of all. 1t c%onfers no title;
it bestows no immunities. 1t makes each
accountable for the whole, pledges the pro-
lection of the whole for the good of each.
The man that is born in insignifcance, and
bred in n corner, may by a continuance in
we'll doing, rise TO the centre of glory and
honor. Merit is the only avenue to success.
And the sons and daughters Of the rich, by
the neglect of virtue, by indulgence in vice,
, 1840-09-19

will sink into merited insigniicance. The
man in office may be removed without a rev
~olution, while vacant seats are open to the
emulation of all.
l can conceive of no form Of government
so perfectly compatible with the sublime
principles OF happiness Of all mankind as a
democracy. 1t needs only TO be understood
in theory, and adopted in practice, by a peo'
pie qualified to test its qualities to secure the
administration and support Of every philan'
thropist throughout the world.

"Once adopt it (thc giving Of pledge.,) and the
battle will no longer be to the stroug--to the yirtuous
--or to the sincere lover OF his country but to him
Who is prepared TO tell the greatest number OF lies,
and to profrcr the largest number Of pledges which he
never intends TO cary out"
Reader, you will find the above precious
moroccan in Harrison's Fort Meigs Spcech;-
that speech that elevated him to the rank Of
81 first rate man. 1t is the reason that he
gives for not making pledges. 1t is not that
his opinions are known. No! 1t is not that
he has been in public stations the greater
portion of his life, and that he has expressed
his sentiments on the subjects most interest
ING to the people. That is not the "why and
wherefore either. The plain English of it
is, that the .:greatest liar will be the most
successful man. 1t is as if he had told us
.lies are more powerful before the people
"than truth. If a candidate is asked for his
"opinions the greater lies he tells, the more
s.certain is his election. You, the people,
"can't distinguish between truth and false
"hood-between argument and sophistry-
sbetween what is for your interest, and what
sis against it, and therefore my great regard
"for you, is my reason for not telling you
"what | will or will not do if elected Presi-
"dent. If | tell you the truth, you will be
Gas apt 10 believe it a lie, and if tell you a
"lie, it is ten to one that you will construe it
ssinto the truth. This is my reason for not
shaking pledges. 1t arises out of my great
"love to you. lido not wish you to be de-
"ceived, and as | don't think you have sense
"enough to appreciate truth, have conclu-
"ded to remain mum during this canvass"
Could any thing be said more insulting
to the intelligence of the people? Could it
enter into the heart of a man to conceive of
a thought more dangerous in its tendency, or
more degrading to the character of a freeman
than this?

that such a catastrophe is always probable,
when one is elevated to the Presidential chair
who has already reached the full term ordina-
rilv considered as the limit of mans life.
To a kind letter from friends in q distant
State, inquiring what were my opinions of
Mr.. Van Buren's administration, | have re-
Gently replied. A copy Of this reply is now
before me; and as it truly represents my
sentiments upon this subject, i will trans
cribe my answer to the inquiry p~ropounded:
81 was opposed to Mr.. Van Buren, when he
was first a candidate for the Vice Presiden-
tial chair, and my opposition to him was con-
tinued when he was afterwards a candidate
for the station he now holds. Upon each
of these occasions, there were other candid
ates who, as | thought, agreed with my opin-
ions more exactly, and whom, therefore, L
preferred. Entertaining such sentiments, /
have watched his course, since he came into
power, with a vigilance that might not, per-
haps, have been used by ne under other cir
cumstances. Yet, with all this vigilance, I
have not been able 10 detect a single un-
constitutional act that has been done or pro-
posed by him during his administration
This is not a slight merit, at least in my eyes;
and when | connect with it that the whole
scheme of his policy,in regard to all our re-
~Iations, whether foreign or domestic, has
evinced much sagacity, prudence, and for
bearance, and this, too, under circumstances
Of great difficulty, cannot withhold my
appreciation from such a course.
sThese are not the sentiments Of one who
has any claim, or even pretenSion, to be con-
sidered as a friend of the present President.
They are the result Of a careful examination
into all his public acts, since he has occupied
his present station-an examination made with
as much candor and impartiality as could
command This examination was commen-
ced, | own, with no expectation that 1t would
end in such a result. But it has so terminated;
and common justice, as well as common hon.
esty compel me to award him a need, in my
Judgment, he has so well deserved. The
support he has thus fairly earned, ! will will
lingIy give him. SO long rs he shall continue
to merit il. Nor will | ever concur in the
attempt to remove any tried servant, who,
rs | think has deserved well of his coun-
try.
And now, sir, having satisfied all your inqui-
ries, to the end that | may not be compel
led TO undergo the same labor again, | CON.
NIT this letter to you, to be used as you may
think proper.
| am, sir, respectfully,
Your most Ob't servant,

A short time since several gentlemen Of
DanviIIe III. propounded several i~nterroga-
tories to Mr.. Van Buren,. Among them
was the following: slave you examined
Hollands life Of Van Buren, Of date 1885,
and if so, is it a faithful and true history Of
your political life?" In reply Mr.. Van Buren,
said that he was informed that there were
spurious Biographies of himself, purporting to
be written by Holland, in circulation, and
until he could see the work alluded 10, he
could not answer this question. His reply
was published by almost every wing paper
in the state, with many chucklings Of delight
and gins Of qualification, that the President
had adopted Genl. NUNS policy to make
no more declarations for the public eye"
The book alluded to however, was enclosed
to him, and rs soon as his official engage.
ments would permit. he replied fully and
explicitly to the interroga,ories. The Globe
of 3lst Aug. contains the reply, in which
may be found his views on the subject OF
pre-empiion, his course in the n. Y. Coaven-
ton, upon the right Of suffrage, and the
part he took in relation to the election of
Justices of the peace by the people. Will
any wing paper publish this reply' Will
they even inform their readers, that Mr.. Van
Buren, has answered every interrogatory put
TO him by the gentlemen OF Danville! As
soon as convenient we shall endeavor to pub
lish such portions of this correspondence, as
will present Mr.. Van Buren, in his true CO.

counts of a battle between the Texans and
Cumanches. The statement is under the
hand of Gen. Felix Houston, who had COM
mand of the Americans; and the battle ap-
pears to have been contested better than
usual by the Indians. Gen. Houston says:-
"On advancing near the Indians they for
med for action, with a front of woods on
their right, (Which they occupied) their lines
extending near a quarter of a mile into the
prairie. l dismounted my men and a hand
som fire was opened-the Indian Chiefs cur
veting around in splendid style, on front and
flank finely mounted, and dressed in all the
splendor Of Cumanche warfare.
A charge was then ordered, and the Indians
scattered, mostly abandoning their horses and
taking to thickets. Nothing could exceed
the animation of the men, and the cool and
steady manner in which they would dismount
and deliver their fire. Upwards of 40 Indians
were killed-two prisoners IA squaw and a
child) taken; we have taken upwards Of 200
horses and mules, many of them heavily
packed with the plumber Of Linnville and the
lower country. We have lost one killed and
seven wounded-one mortally.
