Brandreth's Pills are altogether of Vegetable

well established reputation.
These celebrated Pills do not cure entirely by
their purging qualities. They have in their com

origin, becomes incorporated with the mass of the

DR.. Martins Universal Purgativs
Pills

A remedy for all seasons, and safe at all times,
The most superficial observer is aware that ona
great cause Of disorder is Costiaeasss and that by
the timely taking of purgatiue the system is re-.
stored to its accustomed energy. By such course
the lives of hundreds saved, who would other
wise have fallen victims to disease. These Pills
speedily remove all irritating matter from the
bowels, and excite the bilious functions to
healthy action. The press is teaming with the re-
commendation Of P'ogatire Pills gotten up by men
who know nothing the effects Of Medicines on
the human system, and hence are endangering the
lives of thousands, who are daily using them. In
offering these Pills to the public, we think we are
doing public good as they the prescription of
regular Physician who has used them in his pras.
tce for 10 or Is years.

Appointment of Col. Weller.

The Washington Union, of the 9Th inst,
contains the following appointment by the
President, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate:
"John B. Weller, of Ohio, to be Com
missioner for running the boundary line be-
tween the United States and the Republic of
Mexico, under the 5th article of the treaty
with that republic, concluded on the I'd of
February, l848, in the place of A. H. Sc
vier, who was nominated to the Senate, and
has since died."
No appointment made by President Polk
has afforded US more sincere qualification
than this. He was nominated on the 10th
inst, and the nomination was confirmed the
next day, without difficulty or opposition,
thus showing the popularity and esteem that
the gallant and noble-hearted Weller is
held by the leading statesmen ofthe country.
Although cheated out of the Goyernorship
of Ohio, by reckless band of Wing politi-
clans, he will now occupy a position of
which his numerous friends will feel proud.

The Census of 1850.

Congress, will, doubtless, at the present
Session, provide for taking tho census. A
writer in the American Statesman presents
some statistics founded upon the proportion.
ate increase of the population by which no
estimates the population of 1850 at over
twenty two millions Of persons. He sup
poses that The present basis of representa-.
ton will Be increased to one hundred thou
sand for each representative, allowing an
additional representative for each fraction
Of fifty thousand Were the present basis
to be preserved, the number of srepressntn-
tives would consist Of about 320-by the
proposed increase 10 one hundred the mum.
Der would be about 2ll--or nineteen less
than the present number rofrepreseniatives
If this basis be adopted, New York would
lose four members, Pennsylvania one, Ohio
one, Michigan and Illinois would each gain
two, and the other Northwestern States
one each. The following is the proportion

ed with the present census, IA yz7ts e.

The Vote for Governor.


The Statesman of the 20lh publishes the
report Of the joint committee appointed to
examine the abstracts of votes given for
Governor in October, l64s, and to ascer.
tain who has the majority of votes,in speak
ing of which it says:

nal last had it-not 871, as they said the
Speaker declared il-no, nor no other u
mount that any body else ever made it'll
This shows the absolute necessity of this
committee, and that the extraordinary an.
nouncement, said to have been made by
the Speaker of,he Senate, is wholly refu,ed
by the report Of this committee! When
such erroneous announcements, if not frauds
upon the people, are attempted to be prac.
ticed by official power, who should not ex-
pect excitement, US we'll as Incorporate

We denied that there was a single ab-
stract of votes in the city th,t showed any
such result, as put in the mouth of the
Speaker Of the Senate, and this report
proves it-as restricted as the examination
has been. If what we hear Of scattering
votes for Mr.. Weller, not in this count, is
true, majority Of the people of Ohio, on
the second Tuesday of last October ex-
pressed their preference for Col. Weller.
That majority of the legal votes Of O.
hio were given fer Col. Weller, we pre-
sumo few will dispute, but as The commit
tee has reported othrwise-a committee lie.
gally raised we would be the last to op-
pose what is g. constitutional and final de.
cision, though against a liberal examina-
ton and test Of the votes polled. We are
not prepared to complain even Of the COM

of lheSccretary Of State for returns; but we
are prepared, and we ask, in the name of
the people Of the state, TO also be prepared,
on reading all the facts, 10 do full justice

"Safe and Solvent. y

This is the language employed by the
advocates of paper money in regard to
the present banking system in this State.
tbs the same used in relation to the old
banking system which committed such ex.
tensve robberies but a few years ago. The
rag barons ard the advocates Of rag cur.
rency sang the same syfen song while the
democratic presses were pointing TO the
tottering banks of Wooster, Norwalk, and
sandusky, and warning the people to be-
ware Of the approaching ruin, and all this
time the bank officers of the banks were
putting forth exactly balanced statements
Of the coalition Of their respective banks,
and the whig presses pronounced the war
nings of the democratic press 'sloco(oco
lies" and displayed the statements of the
bank officers to prove them such. But no
sooner has one Of these institutions given
up the ghost, than these same whig papers
cry out, 'eit was locofoco concern" In
one breath, they chargethe democracy with
being 'destruc,ves,' opposed to oil banks. >
and in the next they charge that all the
banks that fail are e.locofoco cancerns,'
and whenfhe present banking system shall
haye fulfilled ils my, and left its finger
marks in the peoples pockets, they will
charge the authorship of the system upon
the democratic party. Such is the consis-
tency Of whiggery.
The people are told in relation TO the
present banks of this State, as they have
always been told in relation to banks, ,wheth-
er safe or not, that they are in a perfectly
safe condition. The following from the
Mt. Vernon Banner, shows how safe they
are, and how much credit is due 10 the
statements Of Auditor Woods, made to in.

danger ahead, that the Ohio banks are all
