Address Of 3 Jr. Wait of III. On taking the chair of 'th Industrial Congress, at Xew York. Tcksdat Oct. 1-1, 1345. The objects or association a od government amount men, is ecurity and liappincss, whatever may be the form which is assumed, or submitted to. The American government is probably better adapted to promote the
tiappinese ol man. tliau any other wliicSi u now in enstence. e owe its excellence in a great degree tu our remote situation from the arbitrary institution of Europe, although many of its republican features are but the development ofthat leaven of freedom which fins been working for centuries in the breasts of a few independent men whose aspirations for liberty were paralyzed by the pervading influence of bed government. This spirit animated the English barons, wben they demanded a charter of King John at the commencement of the thirteenth century ; but of how otucli practical befit lit was this great boon to the ma of the English people ? It was a concession from a greater to a leaser tyrant, whilst the real bone nod sinew, the working men of the nation, gained but little. The progress of liberty in England has been of the same character to the present day. What is abstracted from the King remains with tho nobles ; or if taken from both, is divided amongst a privileged few, and retained. The mass of the people continue slaves, whose condition miy be deemed superior in I. i .. r t i ...... ,..... ... t, ..r 1 1. ,r ... s,. is attached to th soil, whilst it is practically worse; and , . v.,.a ...,m ..f t.nn ....A, c.n. KU 1. m in ... Brun ... m LUIIBIUTI I K'll V , V. 1 1 IX emotion and Laws, upholds a monstrous combination of, King, temporal and spiritual lords, pensioners, profession al crafts, and large and small dealers of all kinds, who are united by one common interest to cmh and plunder an unresisting people. 1 he despotic principle lias been taken from an individual and from a privileged few, and diffused among grades of tyrants, fiorn I lie Kins; lo the petty huckster, and the condition of all these subordinate degrees of usurpation may have been improved ; but tha whole curse of inequality rests upon the nation, and the laboring masses aie ground into the dut, not so much by the quality or degree as by the numerical excess of that incongruous and niercilesa aristocracy. In tha American Declaration of Independence, all men are declared equal, endowed by their Creator with certain lights which cannot be given up nor taken away, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these rights governments are instituted among men; and whenever any form of government becomes destructive of thee ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and lay a foundation in a form that shall seem to them most likely to insure their safety and happiness. This is the substance ofthat plain, but when the state of the civilized world at the time of its proclamation is considered, most glorious declaration of the rights of man. Our Constitution maybe defective, our lawa may be unjust. We will fall back, then, upon thia grand declaration of rights, and remodel and improve the existing institutions : or, if thought necessary to human happiness, establish a new system that may be better adapted to effect that object. And who that acknowledges the truth of that declaration, will deny the right of the people, at any moment, to abolish alt existing institutions of government, and lay its foundation anew ? As we have already endeavored to show by a glance at the condition of Great Britain, aristocratic power has there become diffused, and more intolerable, although it is less apparent, and less omnipotent in the hands of a few. Title end birth have yielded to tha influence of money; and that ancestral dignity which originated in personal worth, in the skill of statesman, or the courage and conductof warriors that legitimate aristocracy which a reflected dignity that has somewhat in its remote associations at least to endear it to human affections, has melted down into the rude and insolent aristocracy of wealth. Let us examine our own progress as a nation, and see in what respect we are exempt from a like calamity. In establishing the American Government, it was indispensable that the authority should proless to emanate from the whole people. Every man, with inconsiderable exceptions, was a freeholder, lie cultivated his own soil, and reaped and enjoyed its whole fruits. The exposure of savage attacks, which was universal, trained every citizen to arms. The father of each household was an independent warrior whilst yet a colonist, even more so than the fierce barons who met at Runny mede to browbeat their king ; for he was relieved from those exactions which are required by a monarch, however limited his power, whilst enjoying every essential privilego which is guarantied to the most favored citizen under our existing form of government. It is important to remark, that in the early days of our republic every citizen cultivated his own soil ; and if this right may not be considered an indispensable feature in the character of individual freedom, perhaps no man will be inclined to deny that it is essential ; or fail to see that the most obvious and practicable schemes of insuring to each individual the means of profiting by the political independence which is promised to all, is to be found in giving to every citizen a competency of the soil which is spread out before us, like the air of heaven or the walers of the ocean for the common ue of man. Political freedom and equality was proclaimed to the American people, and the possession of the soil save our fathers the means of profiting by this blessing. The declaration of independence is a perfect charter. The constitutions aro a departure from its true spirit. Federal and IS täte Legislation, and practical jurisprudence are burying back ihe mass of our people to the inequality and wretchedness of the most corrupt government!!. Where the equal rights of man are recognized, there can be no guide for governmental action but in the will of a majority. In this respect the Constitution of the United States is palpably erroneous. The assent of twothirds of the members of Congress is requisite even to propose an amendment to the Constitution, and the applications of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the respective Stales is required fur calling a Convention to alter that instrument. The ratification by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the States is necessary to render any amendment valid ; whilst the unequal representation in the Senate is most presumptuously declared to be forever beyond the control of the people ! The executive patronage is enormous, and totally subversive in its effect of all respect for trie people, or just regard for their rights and interests. The power given to Congress to regulate the time of service snd pay of its own members, leads inevitably to an exorbitant requisition on their part, and to the natural result of extravagant pay in every otherdepartmentof the public service within their control, that countenance may be given to their own excess. This abuse is sufficiently obvious in its preposterous feature of allowing a public servant to fix his own time of service and rate of pay ; but in its unavoidable tendency to extravagance throughout the public service, it throws an oppressive burthen upon the people. All this might be more patiently borne, however, than its effect in creating an invidious distinction between the industrious citizen and the well paid officer of the general government. The honest farmer and mechanic, whose labor sustains the nation, are rewarded by a very moder ate compensation. The head or the family works the wife, the sons, and daughters are all industrious, fiugal and economical; and they move in what are termed in this land of perfect equality, the humbler walks of lite. The public servant, with possibly a few exceptions, leads a life of ease and luxury. He lives well, dresses well his wife and daughters are fine ladies his sons gentlemen ol leisure, and all move in a circle of society which assumes pre-eminence all claim and exercise a marked superiority over the industrious and useful citizen. This glaring inequality ereates a supercilious pride on the one side, and too often a bitter disgust and fierce hatred on the other, which is fatal to social enjoyment, whilst ad verse to all judicious rciorm "Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom." We do not pay that price. We neither watch ourselves, nor employ trust-worthy sentinels. Our constitntions are not studied, and the mass of the people are ignorant of the law of the land. The laws of the United States have never been put within the reach of the people ; there is no edition of them extant and not only to Ihe mass ot the American nation, but to the intelligent few, whose leisure and means and inclination might prompt them to become acquainted with the laws of their country, this Knowledge is interdicted. To show the utter hopelessness of obtaining a knowledge of these laws, which are made for our benefit, and sustained by our authority and strength whicb in cer tain cases dispose of our property, our lives and reputation it is enough to say that an edition of the laws of the United States, now in progress through private enter prise, is to make six large volumes of eight hundred pa ges each, and can be procured only by paying twenty-five dollars for a copy. But this ex hi bits a small part of the practical difficulties in the path of the honest man who desires to understand his duty as an American citizen. He must obtain also a knowledge ofthe laws of bis own State, generally consisting of a huge mass of statutes, commencing with colonial legislation and brought down to our day, and continued with annual, copious and con Aiding additions. Nor is this a tithe of the research that is required to understand our leg;;! rights and disabilities We must dive to the bottom of that muddy stream, the common law of Lngland, whicb is made, with inconsid erable exceptions, the law of our land ; and some idea o which may be obtained by studying five or six hundred volumes of English and American reporters. It need scarcely be urged upon the mind of an intelligent citizen, that he who is controlled by lawa which he never made, understood nor consented to, is virtually a slave; nor can he tell whether, under the law, he has one natural right left. The people are overwhelmed and impoverished and crushsd by the weight of a legal system whicb originated ander an arbitrary government, where the mass of the people are now enduring the last extre-nities of hopeless want and destitution, with no hope of redress but in a bloody revolution. A system of complicated law agninst natural right, which paralyzes the arm of freedom, and which can only be broken down bt the inlel i?ence. the- mtreoiuitv and hrinness of the whole people. Much maybe done by remodel ling our State Constitutions, and a consequent reform in our'Stale legislation ; tut this would be scarcely effectual whilst exposed to the inroad of federal legislation, and the encroachments of n supreme and irresponsible judiciary. This evil of fedcr! interference deserves
more llian a pawing notice. The national government after-tliouglit, ad et up exclusively lor national oijecu j Lut by lallacj of construction wtirli was Tuund convenient to secure the ft'owr r of the few over the man7 "- ' defiance of tliat just construction of Itie Con'""n which tnn.la that instrument not all.?ether ac rePl'e ""t tolerable only to the sturdy race of freemen ho H.ught out the war of me Involution, Congress have

And this, loo, in eases where the federal interests are in no degree implicated, and upon ground forbidden to Jederal power, and sacred to the Stale and to the people. - j Let us for a moment revert again to the Declaration of Independence which proclaims all men to be free, and 1 entitled to equal rights, that can neither be yielded up nor taken away, elf-government, which is an iridis ' pensnble attribute of a free people, can never be surrendered. The agents for tha administration of the laws . V "M, ,"an,' l,ie PI'Ie, appointed to execute their will, and at all times responsible to their constitu'n1 fo.r a iU9t Prrhance .r duty. The people are the iuuimbiii . mm luuniuuai ail utv-giai ffni l of the great sovereignty of the nation. As such it is the duty of each and every one to understand the laws, and guard agaiimt that abuse." Now let me inquire how many of us attend to this duty ? Not one; A knowledge of the laws of the nation is denied to us in any shape. The iMate laws are scarcely lens unapproachable; and the Dntish common law which is incorporated into the administration of both, is but imperfectly understood by men who have devoted their lives to the study. A knowledge of existing law is therefore impracticable, and can we indulge in a more i!i-founded and preposterous idea than the expectation of effecting any useful reform amongst a people who are so profoundly ignorant of the laws which control their dest'ny. Tlii' fatal ignorance of the law is so common, and has so long been overlooked entirely, or considered necessary and unavoidable, that we seldom dwell upon its influence on the interests of society. Dut is it not reasonable to suppose that if legislation and the administration of the laws is left to a few, who are alone competent to discharge these necessary duties, the interests of that few will be subserved at the expense of the people? The enactment of laws and the whole administration of justice ia a trade which is for the most part limited to a class in society who are educated for that vocation. ' The necessary division of labor which is required in the mechanic arts, and in the useful professions, can never be safely applied to legislation, because that object embraces every employment and every condition in life. The interest of every citizen is equally affected by tbe good or bad administration of the government, and it is equally the duty of all to hold its operations under a rigid supervision. The busine transactions of the community are peifectly understood by intelligent men, and when differences of opinion occur, a jury composed of honest citizens finds no difficulty in settling the question upon equitable principles. Law can do no more to promote the ends of justice ; whilst arbitrary and conflicting statutes, or a formidable airay of precedents with the usual accompaniment of professional ingenuity, are as likely to subvert justice as to promote it. Complicated cases frequently arise which seem to require great professional skill, but it is the uncertainty and the ambiguity of law which makes them complicated. It is a slander upon the present generation of men, and . upon the intelligence of free America, to say that we are incapable ol composing our domestic differences without complicated statutory provisions, or without recurring to the practice which prevailed centuries ago amongst a semi-barbarous people, and under an arbitrary government. Were it in my power to do this subject justice, cur time does not admit of it ; but it is important that we should all be fully possessed of the fact that tho laws in this country, like the laws under many other governments which promise less, are made not by the people nor for the benefit of the people, but to favor a prominent few. No reform can be effectual that does not embrace a thorough revision of our constitution and laws, because, under them as they now exist, the government of the country is in the hands of associated wealth, and entirely beyond the control ofthe mass of the people, who are merely its victims. The prominent measures recommended by the National Reform Associations, to make the public land free to the landless citizen, is a tangible object which can scarcely fail to meet the approbation of eveiy honest and reflecting citizen, and it leads at once to a consideration of the parent evil in our social system ; the monopoly of a few and the destitution of the many. This state ot things could never have taken place amongst an intelligent people, had we not adopted, without reflection, the laws of an arbitrary government, which had their foundation not in the will and the wants of the industrious citizen, but in the will of a class that were bent upon sustaining themselves upon the labor of other men. The laws relative to property were adopted with no essential modifica'ion from such as prevail in Great Britain, ardthev have the effect of creating an aristocracy of wealth which must prove as fatal to liberty as the . . rr t " . worst lorm 01 despotism. I lie industrious Dut conscientious man who would fulfil the duties of a good citizen, struggles through life with labor and difficulty, whilst his ess scrupulous neighbor, who sacriticea all the charities of life to the Inst of gain, becomes rich. With this result we are all familiar, and with the fear of destitution before us, we all cultivate the talent of acquiring proper- . i I . . I l . . i I.- r ... . ty, anu uegieci mu ueiicr lucutues oi man. e mutt do this or starve. This abuse of our moral and physical nature would he remedied at once, were we not in tfie habitu I neglectof the first, the most solemn, and imperative duty of American citizens that is to possess a thorough knowedge of the fundamental principles of a free government, and maintain a vigilant supervision of every essential 'eattire in its operation. Uut we turn our backs upon the whole. The acts of our national legislature, the laws of our Mate, the whole system ot federal and State mrisrudence is a sealed book to the great mass of the Amer ican people and whilst boasting of our free institutions and our right of sell-government, we are cringing and perishing under the influence of laws that we nevor made never consented to and never understood. The greatest abüsr, however, is the R.ght of iVonertv. rr,. i . ...I . . i ins is an important ric.ni anu it snouiu be placed on a sure and just foundation. It is a right which can' be justly wrested from no one. Iiut under tbe sanction of certain legal forms, we permit the accumulation of property to an unlimited amount in the bands of individuals and corporate bodies whilst tbe moderate acquisitions of honest labor are difficult and insecure. Instances are known in our country, of individual proprietors who possess tbe title to more than a hundred thousand acres of land, whilst millions of our deserving and industrious citizens are unable to procure one acre or even one square rod of their mother earth. Here tbe inequality is striking, and can be reconciled to no just conceptions of natural right : yet the law makes the title to such vast tracts as sure and unalienable to tbe individual, as the moderate sized estate to tbe bard-working farmer. In such case, let it be remarked, the large proprietor holds only by process of law ; be cannot occupy or appropriate to his own use and cultivation but a moderate portion of land : beyond this quantity it is valuable to him only so far as he can command the labor of others. It is tbe same relative to all other property. So much as I can fairly appropriate to my own use, with a auitable regard to the rights of others, may he justly claimed as my own. It 1 overleap that bound, the value to me is not in the property, since I can make no use of it, but in the bodies of other men. my brethren and equals under the Declaration of Rights, whose labor I command not by sny natural right, but by constitutional and legal durrss. Money invested in banking, insurance, railway and ether stocks, is immrdi atelv dissipated bv the wants of the community, and its value consists in the legal claim which is retained upon the labor and enterprise of our fellow citizens. Without that labor it would be useless ; and that labor could never be commanded did every industrious citizen possess that rightful portion of his mother earth which belongs to him, not by virtue of his reputed father or. mother, nor by the force or the fictions of law, but by inheritance fro in tha great Heavenly Father who has provided abundantly for all His children. To present the subject of natural rights and conventional wrongs in another aspect. No individual can justly throw himself upon society for physical sustenance. Unless he contributes to the common fund by useful labor, whether of the bead or tbe hands, be is a drone and a nuisance he is guilty of equal wrong to the public, as if h6 were to commit an overt act of theft, and tha example is no less detriments! to the moral habits of the rising generation. V bile hie continues tbe human body is subject to animal wants which must be supplied We cannot earn end consame one great breakfast, dinner and supper which will suffice for our natural life, or put on one garrr.ent, or light one fire which are to perish only with the vital organs. Tbe supply must be created and furnished from day to day and from year to year. Now show me the free ticket which exempts one sound membe of tbe human family from his portion of this indispensable task which Heaven has allotted to every son of man 1 What answer does the rich man make to this question Does be torn to the Declaration of American Independencel No! bands off! be can find nothing to sustain him there. Does he appeal to any consideration of equal rights, or justice between msn and man ? No ! But he aeta before me the Constitutions of tbe United States and of my ow State ; he points to the inexplicable chaoa of Federal and State legislation, both general and special; iie point, also, (slas that I should say it,) to tha Lsws of England, and cries, search those volumes, they contain my immunity. What rejoinder can I urgel But, think Heaven, the people still have right's, ahhoujh many seem willing to frget it; and fortunately for us we can neither sell them nor give them away. We ire aU
equal, not ander our Constitutions n-rour laws but under our Declsradon of Independence and in the sight of God. We have the right to bear arms, we have ie right of ieo lution all of us aaJ every man alike. Do not let any man forget bis own importance in society.
Let us ssV to the most poor an J Humble of car brethren. ' whose heart is grievously chsstbned if not broken bv un- . , " , vivtvci, vj , merited SUJenng you are Still a msn, and entitled to a. I the rights of an American citizen. Exercise them boldly and with judgment, for upon tour shouldrrs equally with that of every freeman the destiny of the nation rests. Yea are a sovereign the President of the United States isyoui servant an agent to execute your will. Under every discouragement and every reverse, never for one moment forget your worth, your dignity, nor your duly to your country, to your fellow-citizens and to yourself. The sociul condition of society is bad, we are all sufferers under its injustice, we rely coi.fiJently on your support and assistance in every just (fl.rt to make it better." Dot il is not those atone who are doomed to some laborious employment for an adequate compensation that ibe evils of the existing constitutions of society overwhelm with tbeir heavy curse. Since there is no limit to tbe acquisition of property, our intelligent youth are educated in tbe belief that it is their duty, if possible, to become r'ch. .Thoasands daily embark in mercantile pursuits, not with the moderate expectation of obtainii g a comfortable subsistence only, but with the determioslion of becoming very rich. Whatever may be their talents, whatever their industry and frugality, a propoition not less than ninetynine in every hundred must be disappointed b'eesuse all cannot be rich, and under the existing constitution of society a very limited orlion of the greediest aspirants for wealth can be successful. Here, then, remark bow great a number of disappointed, perhsps discoursged and brokenhearted men, that one cormorant may be glutted with uhc. Men who possess talent for business find no di fa ulty in obtsining the use of money, foi capitalists who have money must lend it, or it remains useless in their hand. Whilst business seems prosperous they are elate'l with the prospect of large profits, and indulge in expehsivehabits. Their famines are frequently raided in idleness, more espec'aity me temaie portion or them ; a. reverse ct fortune happens the father i - bankrupt, perbspe dies. v hat becomf then of the helpless family I come angel of charity may save them; but how many are now the tenants of wretched garrets and noisome cellars, or of receptacles still more fearful ? " The big fish eat up the little ones. This is a very common saying as applied to men in comparative stages of wealth. Many of our extensile dealers feel the justice of its application to their own case. They fail in business, whether from improvidence or unavoidable circumstances. The rich man or the Dank which his afforded them facili ties for tho transaction of business, must be paid. Af er passing through the mill of insolvency, if enough of courage and talent and animal force is left to commence anew, they are again accommodated with the requisite facilities. A second or a third disaster befalsan enterpris ing man, but be is set upon his legs again so long as he bids fair to prove a profitable customer to the Bank. Bat wben broken down by bard service be is cast off with out one qualm of conscience to live as he can, or die. housanda are thus wesring out their lives to swell the dividends bf a Back. Yes, there are hundreds, perhsps thousands, in this city who would be glad to ehake off thia harness which is galling them to the quick, could they flee to a spot of green earth which tbey might call their own. Professional men, and every condition in society labor under their peculiar disadvantages In consequence of the inequality which pervadra the whole ; and this evil is materially aggravated by the universally admitted fact; that overgrown wealth is generally employed to promote sensual gratification. The moral character and the health of the possessor is too often a victim to the indulgence which riches encourage, and his bad example has a baneful affect upon the young and unreflecting portion of every commu nity where it ia seen or felt. N olhtng could be more true than the remark, that no one portion of any community can suffer injustice without ultimate if jury to the whole ; and although the mass of society which is submitted so immediatsly to the crushing of the nether mill-stone is naturally the firt to cry out, there is reason to hope that the necessity of a reform which may renovate the entire organization of society will be consented to by every friend of humanity, in whatever condition cf life his lot may have been cast. Thomas Jefferson Was the author of tho Declaration of ndependence, and the steady and inflexible advocate of the rights of man. Whilst a member of the Continental Congress, and during the progress of the Revolutionary War, ho made use of these remarkable words : It can never be too often repeated, that the time for fixing every essential right upon a legal basis, is whilo our rulers are honest and ourselves united. From the conclu sion of this war we shall be going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for upport. i hey will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights isregarded. I bey will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will not think of uniting to ffect a due respect of their rights. I be shackles, there fore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of this war, will remain on us long will he made heavier am! heawer, till our righta shall revive, or expire, in a convul sion. Let us hope that the brighter vision, at least, of this prophecy is about to be fulfilled. Horrible Occurrence; FsistroRT, Ind., Nov. P.1815. jrcssrs. Chapmant I have thought it proper lo com municate through your paper to your numerous readers, tbe account of an occurrence which took place here this mornir, and which has excited a curious interest amongst our citizens and doubtless will be interesting to all who may read iL On this morning at half past four o clock, the alarm of fire rang through our village ; at first rut a few voices cried the alarm ; but soon every street echoed with shouts and poured out their numbers.' The county isil was on fire: a wooden building which stood in tbe north-west corner of the public square. It contained one prisoner, who was indicted and tried the last term of Court for pettit larceny. found guilty by the Jury, but the Judge believing the evi dence against him insufficient to convict bim, set aside the verdict, and he was bound for bis appearance at the next Court. He was a boy ef 10 ; daring, reckless end unprincipled, lie had broken out of several jails before bis im prisonment in this, and bad burned out of this once and escaped ; but returning with a quantity of stolen property, he was again confined, lie waa put into the dungeon. His object probably was to burn the lock of the trsp door, force it, and make his escape. Doubtless while encaged in this, the fire got beyond his reach, rushed into the upper part of the building, was bursting from the roof when the first cry of fire was heard. The first person who airived at the spot could hear no sound from within, and all stood uninterested spectators, wnusi tne names roiled on. it was point upon which many opinions were different, whether he had escaped or whether he waa consumed by the fire. To-day about 10 o'clock a search was Imade, after deaden ing the coals, in uitlerent parts of the room floor, without finding any trace of bis remains. The people were leaving tbe spot with the opinion that he had - etc aped : but some more searching for the remains of his bed, a fei human bones were found upon it; whilst his crisped shoes and other clothing were discovered upon it also. The wretch waa burned. No one doubts it. Asomxors. BROWNSTOWN, Nov. 3d, 1845. Messrs.

The duties remain the same, and their future course is a matter of uncertainty, as the operation of the rise in prices on the averages will depend so much on the quality and condition of the new Wheat, and the quantity of damaged and inferior which may be brought upon the markets. The Bank of England has just advanced its minimum rate of interest to 3 per ct per annum, and the general rate in tha money market is about one per cent higher than six weeks ago, with still an upward tendency.

In the (ill of 1831 I wts attacked .iihastvtre cold, which seated jlseif ajton my.lunj ; jid for tbe space of three years I was eostfined to my bt-d. 1 tried all kinds ot mrdicims, and every variety of medical aid w iihoul bent fit ; and thus I wtaricd along until tha w inter of 1844, when I heard of "H1tar' BaUam of Hi id Chei ry." My Irit uili ierruaded me to give it a trial, though I bad given up all hopes of recover and had prepared u)slf far the change af another world. Through tbeir soiiciuttha. I was.indoeed to make use of the Genuine H'ittar' Be I tarn of Wild Cherry, The effect was truly astonishing. After five year of afflict ion, pain and suffering; and after having spent fiur or five hundred Vt'su te ia purpose, and the bestand most respectable physicians had provtd unavailing, I was soon restored to entire health by the blessing af God and the use of Dr. Wiitar'i BaLatu id Wild Cherry. Ism now enjoying good health, and itich is my altered appear ance that I am 110 louger known hin I meet my former acquaint a nets . . ,1. I have gained rapidly in weir, lit, and ray Moll is firm and solid i can now eai as much at any person, and my. food stt-ms to a grew with me. I have esti-11 more during the last six Hon lbs ihau I had eaten five years befyre. .. ... Considering my case almost a miracle, I deem it necessary for the good of the afflicttd, and a duly I owe to the proprietors and mj "-'low men (bo should know wbcie relief may be had) ta make this statement piiblie. May the blessings of God rest npon the proprietors of so value ble a medicine as Wistar's Balsam of Wit J Cherry. Yours respectfully, WM. II. BÄKER.
