THNHIS Medicine hdd been used lOf mere thDn seven
n years before an effort was made TO initiate it, -
The great demand and its wonderful success have indu
ced great number Of persons TO initiate il in various
ways-upwards of fifty different mixtures have been got
up IN imitation Of it, which is convincing proof Of its
being medicine of great value.-Some selling SaT-
sapara and other slups imposing them the ignorant
for the Pandcea, at reduced pnces Others MIXING the
genuine medicine with molasses, &C., making bottles
out Of one; thus retaining its virtues; others
using The genuine Panacea IN their bottles TO perform
cures TO obtain certificates to give their Teputa

limitations and authorizations have in many instances
ProtTacted the suffering of patents diseases where
the genuine swaim's Panace awould have proved in

the most severe toll have often been
found insufficient to furnish the means OF
a scanty maintenance; want and misery
have ensueC snd men and women have
been led, nay, driUen, to commit deeds
of wrong, violence and infamy. The ex-
amples of the rich and the necessities OF
the poor have pointed 10 the same object.
The young man who, in happier circum-
stances, might have been an ornament
and blessing TO society, has bent TO the
controlling blast, and become a ruffian,
a plunderer or an assassin! The maiden
has sacrificed her vestal innocence to
support a pitiable existence! Examine
vice in every shape, trace it to its source,
and the strongest probability is that its
origin has been such as we have descri-
bed. The aggregate immortality of indi-
viduals constitutes the immortality Ofna-
tions; and on a proper investigation OF
the facts, we can scarcely be at loss in
tracing out the causes of our national
backslidings.

The London Examiner has received a
letter dated lobe house, CoOte-Hill,
county Caven which paints the present
suffering ofthelrish poor in frightful col
ors far beyond the reach of any pen to dis
cribe, or any tongue to uttter:-"Tbe

frightful state of human suffering in this

there are no resident gentry; of course
no employment except what our two FAM
lilies can give. The linen trade, from
which the poor derived their principal
support has much declined. The fuel.
from the wet summer, has been lost TO
the poor. A species of potato, called
Jumpers, which as they yield large crop.
the poor farmers were induced to plant:
even in good season it is bad, waterv.
and unwholesome potato, planted in Enc
land for cattle, but unfit for human food.
These Jumper potatoes were dug ont
with quantity ofwet clay; in this state
they heated and fermenled in the pits:
and you have not farmer who would
give them to his pigs.-The consequences
OF living on this deleterious food are now
too apparent;a slow epidemic fever has
begun its course among ursuffering poor,
which the medical men say will end in a
bad typhus. From the storm of the 7th
OF January, 1889, most of the thatch Of
the cottages was blown off; the wet sum-
mer made straw dear; the ewes of the
houses let in rain on the mud walls the
cabins are built with; and, in, several
cases, the walls fell inwards, crushing to
death, or manning for life, the wretch
ed inmates,-in very recent case Just
reported to me, so many as three men
and two women!' This account is from

public towards the sufferers.-Sat Cour.

THE PRESENT CONTEST DETERMINES
WHETHER CORPORATIONS SHALL SERVE
OR RULE Us.-THE STRUGGLE is DEsPRR-
ATE.
The leaders of the whig party we'll un-
derstand that if the Democracy succeed
in the approaching Presidential election,
and retain, their ascendency in the State
Governments, they will be able TO carry
out the reform they have begun in the
currency and financial affairs of the cOun-
try,--a reform, which, when tested by Its
results, will so strongly commend itself
to the public mind as to resist all efforts
against it. On the other hand, they~as
we'll understand that if they succeed, they
can plant themselves 50 firmly upon the
necks of the people, blythe establishment
Of National Bank and other kindred
measures, that no party can hereafter be
successfully brought to bear against them.
Considering, then, the great end which
they are hoping TO attain,-the subjuga-
tion of the political and pecuniary inter-
ests of the country to their permanent
control, with prospects of success, at
least, not desperate in their own estima-
ton, and with knowledge, too, that this
is the crisis of the paper money power,--
that now it must be forever dethroned or
permanently fixed upon the county,
and considering, too, the reckless, uL-
scrupulous character of those leaders,
who, we ask, can doubt the intensity Of
the struggle which we are approachingG
Democrats are you prepared for it? ready
and armed, on all points, to meet and re-
sist the rancor and falsehood, the bribe-
ry and oppression, by which that contest
will be acknowledgement with
reasons and facts, with which to support
the weak and encourage the timid, and
fix homel upon your enemies, the guilt
of tampering with the currency destroy
ing the credit, and trifing with the
interests of the community? If so,
well; but if you rely upon your usual ex-
ertions, confding in the justice of your
cause, you may wake from your apathy
in defeat, with your country enslaved. |.
