To the People Of Canada, Greeting =
You Men Of Canada-Prepare for &C.
lion-arouse from your lethargy
your dormant energies--excite ambition in
your souls, that shall elevate you to great
ness-acceleraie your felicity by simultan-
eously ending your present public caaml-
lies. Canadians prepare and grid on your
avencing stee!-arouse from your indo-
lence-be not deemed by the nations o! the
earth, insolvent-you owe debt which
sooner or later must be paid--it's debt OF
re,ribu,ion
Canadians quit the jocund dance and
festive song, and nobly end the work so
spiritedIy begun. A subdolous. arrogant
and sanguinary foe is yet predominant 10
the midst of your country, fattening on
your spois aud enjoying perfect tranquil
~, save the reproaches OF their consclenc-
es, (if such they have,) for their past, dark
and damnable doings. Let cowardice have
no lurking place in your bosoms. In times
past, the world has gazed with wonder
and delight at your devotions TO your
country's cause, whilst il sympathlzed with
YOU and Iamen,ed the sad fate OF many Of
your heroes, whose bravery is unsurpassed
in ancient or modern annals.
Men OF Canada, as | remarked 10 my
last, let none OF you be disheartened by
the present obscure and detected state ol
the patriot cause, il Goes not appear more
hopeless, than did The cause Of this great
Repuhlic in the darkest hour OF its strug-
gle Cor Independence. The patriots Of
'76 began their contest with three times
the population OF Canada, at the outset,
they were organized and equiPPed-you
were nei,her--you however gained many
victories over the best troops England
could produce, crippled IS you were IN
front and rear by British hirelings aud A.
u,etiean traitors. Some OF the former who
sacrificed their lives TO support British
thraldom, received from your rusty rifles
such messengers as proved sure passport
for their infatuated spirits across the styg-

Bran6reth ~ Pills

A VEGETABLE and Universal
INA Medicine proved by the
experience of thousands TO be,
when properly persevered with,
a certain cure for the Only One
Disease, all having the same
origin, and invariably arise from
the Universal Root of all dis
eases, namely, Impurity or I'M
perfect Circulation ofthe Blood.
In all cases ofpain or weak
ness, whether it be chronic or
recent, whether deafness or
pain in the side, whether it
arises from constitutional or
from some immediate cause,
whether it be from internal or
external injury it will be cured
by persevering in the use OF
these pills
This great principle of "pur.
ging" in sickness is beginning
to be appreciated. tits found
much more convenient to take
an occasional dose ofhalf a doz-
en- pills, and be alweys well,
than to send for a doctor, and
be bIed, blistered, and salivated
with the certainty that if you
are not killed, you will be sure
to have months of miserable
weakness, and the only one who
is benefited is your doctor.
Look at the difference between
the appearance ofthese two per-
sons-one has been treated by
your practitioner-see how pale
and debilitated he is. see how
the shadow of death throws hi:
solitary glances from his emac-
lated countenance, see how ht
trembles in every limb; his
eyes sunk, his teeth destroyed
his constitution irrevocabl,

being sustained by his constl-
tuition. Instead ofbeing months
in a weak state. he will be
stronger, after he has entirely
recovered the attack; because
his blood and fluids have be-
come purified, and having pur-
ged away the old and. impure
fluids, the solids are thereby
renovated; and he is not borne
down by useless particles, but
has renovated his life and body
both.
This principle of purging
with Brandre,h' $ Pills, re-
moves nothing but the useless
and decayed particles from the
body--morbid and corrupt hu-
mors Of the blood; and those
humors which cause disease
they impede the functions OF
the liver when they settle upon
the muscles, produce rhcuma-
tism, or, upon the nerves, pro-
duce govt; or, upou the lungs.
produce consumption, upon the
intestines, costiyeness; or upon
the blood vessels, appoplexy
and paralysis, and all the train

the sufferer aud all who behold
them.
Yes. purging these humours
from the body is the true cure
for all these complaints, and
every other form OF disease;
this is no mere assertion il is
a demonstrable truth and
each day it is extending itself,
far and wide it is becoming
known, and more and more ap-
preciated.

| Why was he held less available candidate
than another, but because he was pledged on
this and other questions so that the Bank
would have been an issue before the people if
he was nominated, which was avoidable by the
nomination of another2 And did the conven-

II IS said the opposite party presented such an
issue. II is true they offered such an one: but
the Wings were too wise TO take il. An issue
must be made up by both parties. The then
administration party charged their opponents TO
be Bank men-bul they did not admit and JUS
tify, they denied and evaded it. Mr. Rives set
tied this matter, to extent, by his appeal TO

This would seem 10 imply either unaccounta-

principle on the part of that Convention and the
States. Was II not known TO persons thus nom
mating and voting, that John Tyler through his
whole public life, was the avowed enemy, on
constitutional grounds, Of such an institution?
Can it be pretended that such ignorance was
possible?
