TO THE ORIGIONAL JACKSON MEN.

] address you because | was one among you.
We rallied for the great principles Of Reform,
and our party was made up Of the real bone and
Snew-the honest hearted working-men Of the
country. We had some Of the talent and some
Of the learned professions in our ranks but the
great body of the party cared but little about
who was in office. The questions with Us, was
not who is in ollicc.-it was how are the Offices
administered! | soon found that Amos Kendall
and Martin Van Buren, were wolves in sleeps
clothing; that they had come into our ranks for
the sake OF plumber, and came out from among
them, and told you that Amos was hyprocitc
AMI cheat; and that Martin was not to trusted,
You could not know them as knew them,
and therefore you trusted them longer than |
did, You have had more time, and their true
character has been gradually developed until
he that has but half an eye can know them now,
because, by their fruits shall you judge them,
party Whensay one thing and do another, it is
proof that they deserve not to bo trusted.

THE BEGGAR'S PETITION:

A very pathetic and musical Appeal to the Dear
People, By an Er. PostmaSter General.
TUNB-"ALL on HoBBIEs"
Come, down with your money I'm terribly poor,
Much suf'ring for you I'm compelled TO endure,
Having revealed in office for many day,
I've left it, and now | am scribbling away,
All for one dollar, only one dollar,
Only one dollar, one dollar, heigh-ho!
I've lived on the people for many year,
No wonder the people to me are most dear;
For money the friend of my youth betrayed,
And my life whole series of slanderings made,
All for the dollar, &c.
To be sure, ] have laid up in silver and gold,
Much more than is worth while Just now to betold.
But I'm laying that up for the next rainy day,
And to feed my dear children I'm scribbng away,
All for one dollar, sc.
Come, down with your dollars, ye Democrats true!
And those who Can do it had better send two;
From those who poor, half-dollar I'll take,
u will serve a small sum for the pauper to make,
So hand out your dollar, &c.
For this, to your order the Globe will send,
The postage is nothing, for Niles is my friend;
From that you will learn how the Yankees all run,
ana Tie BRUSH, last war, every victory Won,
All for one dollar, &c.
That Harrison, Scott, Daniel Webster. and Clay,
Are all British Wings, in that paper III say;
Though in battle and council they conquered the foe,
While Matty, the lawyer, kept quiet you know,
But l must have my dollar. &c.
IT'S true must scrbble full many lie.
But scrbble, | must, friends, or else must die.
If Harrison's chosen he'll kick up row:
And when money is squander'd he'll want to know
how:
So make haste with your dollar, SC.
cool hundred thousand by this shall make,
That is if my friends all my papers will take,
But it is not for money enter the fight,
OH certainly not! for the People write,
So fork out your dollar, &c.

The Association having been organized, com
mittee of three, consisting of NJ. Lowry, Esq. VIM.
PEBBLES, Jr., and w. OH. Robinson, were APP
pointed, on motion Of Mr. Lowry, to prepare reso-
utons expressive of the views of this meeting, and
to draft address TO be reported to the AsSocia-
ton on its next meeting.
The committee having retired, letter from }.
II. SeWell, Esq, was read, expressing cordial
concurrence with US, and desiring his name to be
enrolled on the list Of the Association.
Mr.. Lowry, chairman of the committee, reported
the following preamble and resolutions:
Believing that Mr.. Van Buren, has rciiuqpished
every one of those principles, under the profession
of which the democracy has fought for the last
forty years, and finding that his proscrPtlVe ana
selfish system is spreading corruption abroad
among the incunbents Of the Offices within the gIiI
of the Executive and believing that the best form
OF Government cannot CNlSL wien tIiS CN'C"' "''
ardOr of mere personal subserviency, instead OF
competency and integrity, are the passports to LN'
ecutiye favor and believing that period viii Oe
fixed to the corrupt career Of the present admins
traton bv the election Of Vim. II. HarrlSoni tho
undersigned deem it their duty for the purpose Of
more extended and concerted action in behalf o.
their country, thata union and understanding ioi
this purpose be formed BY all who have seeded
| from the ranks of Mr.. Van Buren,. We therefore
call upon every republican who stall cherishes The
principles of democracy, and is determined to re-
tricve the Republic from its dangerous and disas
trous condition, to join US in the cause to lend u
their aid, while hope yet exists, and to exert Tic
collective force which union gives US.
Resolved, That we can no longer support thl
present Administration, believing it to be at wal
with the principles Of Democracy, and engaged II
practices alike destructive to the national prospect
ly, moral integrity, and the simplicity OF RePaD
lie.
Resolved, That we can neither support Martin
Van Buren's scheme for entrIstng the parse, no
Mr.. Poinsctt's project Of centering the conrol OF
Standing army in the hands ui the Executive.
Resolved, That we believe not in the doctrine v
reducing the price Of labor aud the farmers pro
duce to the standard Of any country but our own
and that, whether il be righteous To prevent Ia
rich from becoming richer or not, we never sal

THE ISSUE I!

Should a crisis arrive, like that Of l1I6, when
the Gordian knot of oppression can only be cut
by the swOrd--the Mtimo ratio poPuLorUm, as well
as regum-is there farmer who would not barter
his ploughshare for sword and stand for his
country! Is there mechanic who would not
throw by his plane, his trowel or his siedge' and
lift his sinewy arm to strike down the oppresSor
Is there merchant who would not store his bales
and packages, and range himself on the side of
right against Polrer!
And will not the farmer leave his plough-the
mechanic his tools, and the merchant his goods, to
prevent the shedding of blood, and preserve the
tranquility Of the country?
The Presidential election is at hand. 1t is
threatened by the Tory press that the policy OF the
Administration shall be matured, even if it is to bt
baptized in blood 1t is question then between
the placeman's avarice and the peoples hope ant
who that deserves to live and die freeman vii
not rally round the latter = MnaiS0ni0n

HESRY Claws EARLY DEMocRAcY.---A late
number of the Pennsylvania lneIigoncer has the
following; Col. Johnson stated, during his speech
at Harrisburg, that the first time he ever re.
membercd taking off his coat to fight, was with
Henry Clay against the supporters of the alien
and sedition laws. He said, that, in argument,
Mr.. Clay welded battle axe, while he could
only handle q tomahawk; but Of late years, said
Col. Johnson, Nh, Clay and myself have been
on opposite sides. must, however, say, that
he is the pride Of Kentucky, and although we
hope to carry the State next fall, it looks like

WHAT MORE EVIDENCE IS NEEDED!

The pioneers who composed the two branches OF
the first Legislature of the Northwestern Territory
i'll 1889, are now in their graves, with the exception
of three; General Darlington of West Union, Judge
Burnet of Cincinnati, and Judge Sbley Of Detroit
1t must be admitted that these persons know cor
roctly the principles and motives which govern them
and their colleagues, in the election of their first
delegate to Congress. They are, in fact, the only
living witnesses, who can possess that knowledge
underived from others. They have all declared
substantially, uneQuivocay, at different times anC
without concert, that in $780, William Henry IIar-
rison recognized as Republican of the Jetfer'
SON school-that nc was the republican candidate
supported by the democratic party; and that Arthur
st. Clair, Jun was the federal candidate, supported
by the federal party. Now who will not yield tc
this testimony, would not be convinced, though the
deceased members should rise from their grave:
and testify Cincinnati Ga:etle.

The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.

The name of these pills originated from the cir
cumstance Of the medicine being found only in the
cemetaries of Persia. This vegetable production
being of peculiar kind led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. In half cen
tury it became established medicine for the dis
cases of that cohntry. The extract Of this singu-
lar production was introduced into some parts of Eu
rope in the year 1888, aud used by many celebrated
Physicians i'll curing certain Diseases where all 9TH
or medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1872, the extract was combined with q certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Bsca, in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir-
able effect of this compound upon The human sys-
tenn, led physicians and families into its general
use. Their long established character their univcr-
sal and healing virtues the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the glanduar
part of the system, are such as will sustain their
putatiOn and general use in the American Repub-
Tic.

TO MOTHERS.

Messrs. Z. Chase e. Co.-Gents.-Hearmg
much said about the extraordinary effects of the
Resurrection or Persian Pills upon those about to
become mothers, we were induced to make a trial of
them. My wife was at that time the mother Of five
children, and had suffered the most tedious and ex-
cruciating pains during and after her confinement
of each. She had tried every means and taken
much medicine, but found little or no relief She
months before her confinement Cher health being We
ry poor about this length Of time previous) and in a
short time she was enabled by their use to attend to
the cares of mother to hJr family until her con-
fnement. At the tima she commenced taking the
Persian Pills, and for several weeks previous, she
was afflicted with dy hard cough and frequent
severe cramps, which the use of TIE Pills entirely
removed before using half a box. 1t is with the
greatest confidence that advise all those about TO
become mothers to make use OF the Persian Pills.
All those that have taken them in our neighbor-
hood have got along in the same easy manner and
are about the house in few days. There does not
appear to be half the danger of other dangers setting
in after confinement where these Pills are taken.
We unitedy say,let none neglect taking them, for
they in the reach Of the poor as well as the rich
We are truly thankful that there is remedy which
females can easily procure which tends to lessen the
world of suffering, which many OF them have TO bear,
and perhaps save the lives Of thousands which would
otherwise be lost.
