The PHVLosoPHY OF ITS OPERATIoNs.-DIs-
ense arising from disordered action Of the vi
tai system-that is, Of the organs employed in
screening and preparing the fluids which sus-
tain ,ife-cannot be removed by medicines
limited in their operation to the locality where
that disease manifests itself The manifesta-
tion is merely the effect of arrangement of
the functions Of those organs, which prepare,
secrete, and amalgamate the elements Of the
blood II these elements be impure, or are
not mixed in due proportions, the blood will be
| in an unnatural state; and if so, the whole
system through which 1t eircuates must be IN
iuricusly affected. The grand desideratum
then. is-a preparation which will act direct
Iy, powerfully, and safely. upon that portion Of
| the animal machinery which prepares, from the
food taken into the stomach, that fluid which
afterwards becomes veuous blood. This fluid
il called Chyle. In order To have pure blood,
there must be Ture chyle, and it is upon the
organization which prepares and acts upon
this chyIe--in other words, upon the digestive
apparatus, the inteslines, and the liver that
the medicine should act.
1t has been proved by the experience Of
mnny years, that DR.. Guysott's extract Of yell
low Dock and SarsapsriIla operates in tbi,
way; and by removing. at the place OF its ori.
/ gin, the cause OF disease, IL anects a radical
cure. Other SarsapariIlas may alleviate, but
DR.. Guysotts Extract Of Yellow Dock anc
Sarsaparilla, eradieates all Of the diseases OF the
system by furnishing proper chyie BY which tc
form the blood.

STATEMENT OF DR.. HIRAM coy

Late Professor in the Cincinnati Eclectic
Medical College, and physician weH known,
who has an extensive practice, in relation to
the cure Of Miss Belt, after having been gwen
up to die with the last stage Of consumption
by a nu nber Of able physicians.
Mr.. A. L. ScovILL-Sir; However relue-
tant haze been to permit my name to ap-
pear, attached to a certificate recommending
Patent Medicines, Nostrums or Catbolicums,
nevertheless think il my duty, not only to
my patrons, but to the community, and all
afflicted with diseases requiring cough medi-
eines, TO state that in three particular eases Of
incipient Consumption. viz: Miss Belt, step
daughter Of Mr.. John Carr OF this city, Miss
Barger, sister-in-law Of Mr.. v. Wonder, butch
er, and Mr.. r. X. Cox, one of our city council,
that DR.. Rogers Compound Syrup Of Liver
wort and Tar operated more like a specific,
than any remedy Of a similar character in its
operation, that have ever used in my prac-
tice. One of the cases above, viz: Miss Belt,
appeared to be laboring under the last stage Of
Serofulcus Consumption, as pronounced by
several physicians who were in attendance
previous to my being called to treat her case.
She is at this time in the enjoyment OF as ap-
parently good health. and from appearance, as
likely to die with any other disease, as any
Otner young la0y OF LulS city. AS II respects
the health Of the other two casesall the threat
ening premonitory symptoms seem {" have sub
sided, from the use Of few bottles Of the Sy-
rup above. Very respectfully, &C.,

have Just received from the city of Philadelphia

DYE sTUFFs,. Vegetable and animal Oils, Pa
tent Medicines, Perfumery, &c, &C., which,
with my former stock, makes as full and general
an assortment of Good Articles Of the kind, as
was ever in this market | respectfully invite
Physicians to give me call; for the reason,
that in selecting my medicines, have used
every precaution in the compass of my power,
10 get no articles but those of the best quality.
No one was ever more fully impressed than my
self, with the conviction, that il matters but
little what the capacity OF Physician may be,
ifhis prescription when sent to the Apothecary,
is filed up with inert or adulterated medicines.
Under such circumstances. Physician OF the
best skill may lose his reputation, and his pa
tient lose his life; and all for the sake of a
little gain Of the meanest kind. My light
medicines, and medicinal roots generally, and
my Chemicals altogether, are from the Labora-
tory of Charles Ellis & Co. of Philadelphia,
one eff the largest and best establishments Of
the kind on this con tinent, conducted by men,
celebrated for their science and integrity, and
Mith whom all Empiricism and quackery are
ousted and despised. In selecting nv Patent
Medicines | have been careful to reject every
article not in well established repute, 1t is
impossible in an advertisement to give an
enumeration of half the articles in a Drug
Shop; but can assure all that may favor me
with call, that they can 6nd most articles in
my line, and as cheap as they can be had any

A MAN OF SPUNK AND A FROWNING
ADMINISTRATIONS. 'i*

On the occasion Of the reception Of Pres
ident FILLMORE at Richmond, Virgins, we
find Mr.. STEWART, Secretary Of the lnteri-
or, making speech, which is remsrka.
Bile at least for its candid avowals. iHe
said:
"Fellow. citizens, speak strong Ian
guage, but speak it in all sincerity and
truth; and have acted upon il officially;
that no man who is an abolitionist or
disunionst can be patriot. Applause.
Within the broad sphere Of the Office which
| hold, and which numbers amongst its do
pendents probably some 800 public off.
GERS, am happy to inform you that to the
best Of my knowledge and belief. have
not left an abolitionist or disunionist in
Office. Prolonged cheering.] Ihave not
looked whether man was whig or demo.
crat-when he was honest, capable and
faithful, | have retained him without any
reference to his political principles. But
hold that no man who seeks TO overthrow
the Constitution either directly or indirect.
ly. can conscientiously take an oath to
support it. have refused TO retain any
man in public service Who was infected
even with those principles. [Applause.]
That was said in the presence Of the
President. and coming as it does from .
prominent member Of the cabinet, it must
be looked upon. we suppose, as the senti.
nlent Of the Administration. 's2'iee
But what does MIR. STEWART mean by
an Abolitionist! is question many will
very naturally ask. We esuppose that may
be answered by reference to the Wings
whom he has turned out of office. They
are men who do not go in for sustaining
the compromise and least Of all the fugi-
tive slave law. They go in for the repeal
of that, and many OF them believe that
that clause of the constitution relating to
fugitives from service. is opposed by tho
Divine law, and should not be enforced.
There are other like points in their creed,
not necessary now to mention. FILLMORE
and his Cabinet are opposed to all this
class. and punish them whenever they can
find one to turn out of office.-Cin. Enc.

COLUMBUS, July 18, 1851.

COLUMBUS, July 18, 1851.
Dear Sir:-Yours of the 14th inst, is
duly received, and | hasten to reply, so
lar as necessary, to your important inter-
rogatores and propositions:
The last provision Of the tenth section
of Article eleven, Of the Constitution, gov
erns the whole case, for although the Sec
ond section of the same article, gives eve-
ry county, having half ratio, Repre-
sentative. yet the former part of the tenth
section apportons the representation for
ten years, following 1851, as designated
in the Schedule. The language used is
not discretionary, but imperative in its
character.
The last provision OF that section, how
ever. declares, that "All territory belonging
to county at the time Of any apportion-
ment. shall, as to the right Of representa-
ton and suffrage. ii. e. for Senators and
Representatives. remain an integral part
thereof, during the decennial period"
At what time, then. was the apportion-
ment of the Constitution made? Was it
on the tenth of March, when it bears date;
the 18th of June, when it was adopted; or
will it be on the first of September, when it
shall take effect! By the strict rule oflaw,
it is certainly not until the instrument takes
effect, and its provisions are obligatory
upon the institutions and people Of the
State. Should this rule be permitted to
prevail, the people of the county Of Noble
are, for representative purposes. disfran.
chsed for the ensuing decade; for as the
New Constitution finds the counties, so they
must remain until the expiration Of the ten
years. and no such county as Noble being
known to the appor,ionment Of that instru-
ment, no such county can claim or be ad-
mtted TO representation in the General
Assembly created by it. 4
