SUGAR CoATEDLs pILLS.n
BEWARE! CAUTION!!


The increased popularity of DR.. G BENZ.
SMITHS IMPROVED INDIAN ,VEGETA-
BILE SUGAR COATED PILLS, has induced
a number of persons to make something they
call pills and coat them with sugar, in order to
sell them for the genuine, while they do not
possess particle of the goodness, nor even as
simulate in appearance to the original, DR..
Smiths Pills. In short, they are an intended
FRA I'D upon the community. minister VIII o
at first had an interest IN an imitation Sugar
Coated Pill, manufactured in Albany, N. Y.
has given them up, he says, on account OF
the miserable dishonest parties concerned in
manufacturing them. The same party are now
industriously circulating reports calculated to
IN ure DR.. Smith and TO affect the reputation OF
his valua able pills; but rather then notice them
in public, DR.. Smith is about to institute legal
proceedings against them for their ISLANDERS, as
he has in another case against a similar party,
in which he recovered large amount of dam
ages. These miserable limitations have TO re-
sort to the most abOmnable means to palm of
their counterfeit pills, as the public know tn at
DR.. Smiths are the original and genuine
Several instances have come TO public notice in
which life has been endangered by the unior-
tunate use oil the counterfeits. Tits DR.. Smi this

lieve them to be good medicine; and also,

Fashion.

Fashion rules the world, and most
tyrannical mistress she is--compelling
pe ople TO submit to the most inconve.
nient things in the world for fashions
sake. She pinches our feet with tight
shoes, or chokes US with tight necker-
chiefs, or squeezes the breath out ofour
body by tight lacing; she makes people
sit up by night when they ought to be
in bed, and keeps Them in bed when
they ought to be- up and doing. She
makes it vulgar to wait on ones self,
and genteel to live idle and useless
She makes people visit when they
would rather stay at home, eat when
they are not hungry, and drink when
they are not thirsty, inyades our plea
sure, and interrupts our business. She
ruins health and produces sickness, de-
s,roys lite, and occasions premature
death. She makes foolish parents, in.
valids of children, and servants Of all.
She is a despot Of the highest grade,
full Of intrigue and cunning, and yet
husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, sons,
daughters, and servants, black and
white, voluntarily have become her
obedient servants and slaves, and vie
with one another to see who shall be
the most obsequeous. She compels
people to dress gaily, whether upon
their own property, or that of others;
whether agreeable to the word of God
or the dictates Of pride. 'af r.

Invasion Of Mexico in 1919.

Ian article IN the 81. LOUIS hepuOll-
can furnishes the following items Of
history. Cortes entered the harbor of
St. Juan de Ulloa, April Q. The feet
consisted of II vessels--!he largest 100
tons, s Of 10 or. 80 tons, and the rest
small open barqnes. His. army con-
sisted OF 6l7 men, aless number than
Col, Bakers regiment. Only IS sol
diers we're armed with muskets, 80
were cross-bow men, and the rest had
bcws and spears. The soldiers wore
iaekets with quilted cotton. They had
only l6 horses, 10 small field pieces,
and 4 falconets. He began colony,
and called it Villa Rica de la Cruz, or
the ssrich town OF the true cross" He
advanced TO Zempoalla. The inhabi-
tants seemed not to mediate resistance
until Cortes undertook topdestroy their
religion and substitute his own. Mon.
tezuma sent orders from the capitolfor
Cortes to leave his territory, accom-
panied with presents. SCortes marched
from Zempoalla. August 10, with 500
men, j 5 horses, and field pieces. He
was joined by 600 friendly Mexicans.
He advanced in the territory of the
Jlascalans, who resisted at every step,
but after, several battles, in which they
lost many lives, and were not able to
wound but few Of the Spaniards, and
kill two of their horses, they yielded
and afterwards added 5000 to Cortes'
army. The Mexicans fought with ar
rows or spears, headed with flint or
bone, and with stakes and wooden
swords. Some Of the Spaniards died
with the diseases Of the climate, but
more were killed in battle. They re-
sumed their march towards the city of
Mexico, October 13. The Cholulans
opposed them, but they were easily
overcome, with the loss Of 5000 of
their people, and their temples burnt.
Advancing still further toward Mexico,
he found the people dissatisfied to-
wards their own government, and COM
planning of the tyranny of Montezuma.
About the 1st of November, in descend
ing the. mountains Of Chalco, across
which, the road lay, the vast plain of
Mexico opened gradually to the view
of the invaders. Robertson says this
prospect 10 all was zone of the most
striking and beautiful on the face Of the
EARTH" and that the Spaniards were
amazed at it, and delighted beyond all
their previous conceptions.
Cortes' army had vastly increased
bv s.volunteer" natives, and he made a
conquest Of Montezuma with little diff
ficulty. The city of Mexico, at that
time, contained not less than 100000
inhabitants. Cortes, was from April
to November marching from Vera Cruz
to the capitol. ..rE a7s .sse.esa

MIR. VAN BUREN,s LETTER.
LINDENwALD Oct. 90, 1847.

.f
Nh Dear Sir:-I had the honor, a
few days since, to receive your friendly
letter, apprising me of your desire to
place my name, after the close of the
then approaching canvass in Pennsyl-
vania, at the head of your paper, as the
choice of the sterling democracy Of
your district for the Presidency, and
also informing me of similar dispcsi-
ton among the democrats Of the sur
rounding districts. .t
The trankness of your communica-
ton, and the disinterested motives by
which it has been obviously dictated,
command my respect and confidence.
Instead, therefore, Of replying TO it
through my old and fast friend in your
vicinity, as you suggest, address my
self directly to you; and shall express
my feelings and opinions with the free.
dom and sincerity which are due to
the subject, TO my position in regard TO
it, and to the respect and gratitude with
which-your conduct has inspired me.
l cannot apprehend that what ! am
about to say will induce any one TO
suppose that 1 undervalue the honor of
the office with which your favorable
estimate Of my capacity and principles
has inclined you once more TO connect
my name. Every right-mindcd Amer
ican citizen must regard an incumbent
of the Presidential office, possessing
the confidence and esteem Of those
who raised him to power, and challeng.
ing the respect of all parties, by an
honest, wise, and manly administration
of his trust, as enjoying the highest dis
tinction known to the political institu-
tions Of mankind. Nevertheless, | as.
sure you that whatever may have been
my aspirations at other periods Of my
life, have no desire to re-occupy that
most elevated public station. ] have
already, by the partiality Of my coun-
trymen, partaken very largely Of the
enjoyment Of public life, whilst | have
not summed its labors, or been exempt
fromiit its inquietudes. The favors and
honors which have been profusely be.
slowed on me by the democracy Of the
Union are, and ! trust will ever be,
present 10 my mind, and gratefully i'm,
pressed upon my heart. Every day
