CLEARFIELD, DEC. IL, 1851.
PRESIDENTS MEssAeE-coNcLuDED.

Men with their families, wives, sons and daugn-
tiers, work for themselves on their farms, IN
their houses, and in their shops, taking the
whole product to themselves, and asking no
favors of capital on the one hand, nor OF hired
laborers or slaves on the other. 1t is not for
gotten that a considerable number of persons
mingle their own labor with their capital
that is, they labor with their own hands, and
also buy or hire others to labor for them but
this is only mixed, and not distinct class.
No principle stated is disturbed by the exist
ence of this mixed class.
Again, as has already been said, there is not
Of necessity any such thing as the free hired
laborer being fixed to that condition for life.
Many independent men, everywhere in these
States, few years back in their lives, were
hired laborers.
The prudent, penn iless beginner in this
world, labors for wages awhile, saves surplus
with which to buy tools or land for hImseH'
then labors on his own account another whiie'
and at length hires another new beginner 10
help him.
This is the Just, and generous, and prosper
GUS system which opens the way to all, gives
hope to all, and consequent energy and pro-
gress in the improvement of their condition to
all. No men living are more worthy to be
trusted than those who toll up from poverty.
None less inclined to take or touch aught
which they have not honestly earned. Let
which they already possess and which, if snr-
rendered, will surely be used to close the door
of advancement against such as they, aud to
fix new disabilities and burdens upon them,
till all of liberty shall be lost.
From the first taking of our national census
to the last one, seventy years, and we find our
population at the end of the period eight times
as great as it was at the beginning. The in
crease OF those other things which men deem
desirable has been greater.
We thus have at one view what the popular
principle applied to the government tn rough
the machinery of the States, and the Union
has produced in given time, and also what,
if firmly maintained, it promises for the future.
There are already among us those who, if
the Union be preserved, will live to see it con-
tain two hundred and fifty millions. The
struggle of to-day is not altogether for to-day;
it is for a vast future also.
With a reliance on Providence, all the more
firm aud earnest for our present troubles, let
us proceed in the great task which events
have devolved upon us.

The time has come that all who viii can escape
the iron grasp of Mercury, by calling without de-
lay, to see the well known and justly celebrated
Eclectic European Physician, DR.. BORT, who
will administer those only true and safe medi-
cinos, extracted from the most choice Roots and
Herbs, which prepared under his super
vision, and therefore avoiding the of all Min
KRAL PoIsoys, which were never designed for the
system, to take which many thousand have fallen
victims and gone to early graves.
THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED
Remember that DR.. Bort wants patients but
those fully capable of appreciating and distin-
gushing the services of a regular thorough bred
physician, from a paltry, unlearned and triling
quack.

entirely unknown to all others in this coun-
try prepared from life spent in the great hos
pitfalls of Europe and the first in the country.
Remember, that DR.. Bort has a more extended
practice than any other physician in Western
Pennsylvania
Remember, that citizens of education and our
popular men are all well acquainted with, and
take great pleasure in recommending DIR. Bort to
the afflicted.
Remember. that DIR. Bort m axes no false repre-
sentations to gull the unfortunate, but all he says
will be faithfully carried out.
Remember, that DR.. Bort pays every attention
to diseases of chronic nature
Certificates of Cures may be seen at his respec-
tive rooms.
DIR. B. isfurnished with over six thousand let
ters of recommendations from some of the most
distinguished men living Also has awarded to
him diplomas from some of the most celebrated
Hospitals and Infrmaties in Europe, for his un-
parallolled observations in Diagnosis, and obser-
vations in discovering remedies for the cure of
diseases that heretofore befallen the skill of
many of the medical profession.
An carly call from those wishing to consult the
Doctor, is earnestly requested, to receive full
benefit OF treatment, and thus do justice to HIM
self. Time limited.
Please bear in mind when DR.. b will be in your
place. Persons desirous of consulting him will
