From the Norfolk Argv$. Another Whig Wittie on the Slaul. It is with feelings of pride in times of high part excitement, when all the ambitious and evil paauons of man arc at work, when the general rood is forgot

ten iu the bitler element of strife, and the honor of the country sacrificed at the shrine of faction at a period of such didcordsi and contentions, it is peculiar 1 refreshing to the eye of the patriot, to be enabled to rest occasionally on some green spot, to behold men nigh in fame and in the confidence of the people, bursting the shackles of party and manfully sustaining the good cause of the nation. Tnesc remarks are elicited by reading an eloquent defence of the justice and constitutionality of the war, by David Paul Brown, Esq., at a great meeting recently held in Philadelphia, for the purpose of nominating General Taylor for the Presidency. Mr. Brown is a whig of the first water, and was oooosed to the election of Mr. Polk but he loves truth and justice, and nobly volunteers to defend both, while at the same time he "vindicates the administration from the assaults of those men in high places, who can find nothing good emanating from the President, though he were as pure as the angels that administer at the right hand of the throne of grace." But we will no longer detain our readers from the oul-stlrring extract from the speech which follows : The war was, in my opinion, the offspring of two fathers, and though not strictly attributable to it. arose mainly out of the annexation of Texas. This etwas consummated by our delegated authorities, and the gpvernment must Dot be censured for what was the act of the people's representatives. This lone star was thus translated to our constellation, became one of us, and it was our bounden duty to cling to, and stand by her, and repel every blood-stained invader that duoed to leave his footprint upon her virgin soil. I am not prepared to say whether the reasons for the annexation of Texas were right or wrong; but as the law consummating the deed was ratified by Congress, there is an end of it, and it is wrong to blame the President for carrying the law into effect. I have been shocked to be called upon to witness among men high in power, and who have grown gray in the service of their country, who have stooped so low aa to censure the government for the conduct of the war, and by so doing have crippled her resources, and interfered with her energies, by uttering statements that must class them among the allies of JMexico. I care not for their degree, their profession, their previous services, but must condemn their treasonable conduct, and ask for your reprehension. (Applause.) I am not one of those who insist upon the country right or wrong : but I contend that she is al ways presumed tobe right: and if wrong, the onus of the proof rests with those arrayed against her: and if there is a reasonable doubt In the absence of proof, we are bound to give her the benefit of that doubt, as in the criminal code, and make her prosecutors pay the cost. "The mass of the country, the bone and sinew of the people, are always right, and if they find that the rulers are in the fault, their only resource is to kick them out, and put better men in their places. As the war has been legally declared, and the people are bound to sustain it, and not to enlist under the Mexican banner, and take part in the treason of uniting with the enemy, why should sympathy be expended for tho. Mexican government ! why should any portion of our citizens join with Mexico, that nation of outcaststhat government founded in treachery and blood which, for the last three hundred years, from the time of Hernando Cortez down to the present moment, has beeu attended with remorseless treachery, making the country a continued sea of blood ? They have never kept faith, and the victims of their bloodthirsty cruelty fatten the soil of their own country. "I have recently seen a Mexican document, in which the events of the war were rehearsed as the retributive justice of the Creator for the bloody crimes committed upon her soil during the last three hundred years. It may therefore be fairly inferred, that neither the President nor Congress were responsible for th war, but that it was a destined event. Upon every Mexican tent that whitens the plains of the country upon every palace that adorns her cities, is written, by the ringer of Omnipotence, as on the wall at Belsiiazznr's feast, ,mene, mrne, t-krl, upharsin 'You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting.' We are selected as the instruments in the Divine band, not in regard of our own righteousness, but in order to puniu their iniquity. Unite with me, therefore, iu resolving, whatever may have been your opinions at the onsc', in regard to the justice of the war, to stand by the country in her just endeavors to bring it to a speedy and honorable clue." Wnges or Lnb9r. The report of the Commissioner of Patents contains an extended tabular 6tntement of the prices paid to farm laborers and to mechanics in the various counties of the different States of the Union. The facts thus presented, must be interesting to our readers generally, and we give the substance of them in condensed form. Farm Laborers. Maine, northern parts, $12 to $15 per month. New Hampshire and Vermont, $12 per month. Massachusetts, eastern, $12 to $14 per month. Massachusetts, western, $11 per month. New York, mostly $10 per month, often $12 per month, a rery few $S per mouth. New Jersey, $15 per month, and not boarded. Pennsylvania, mostly $10 to $12 per month. Maryland, $9 to 10 per month; 37 to 50c. per day. Virginia, southern, $5 per month ; northwestern, $10 per month. North Carolina, northern and central, $7 to $8 per month ; western, 50 to 75 cents per day. South Carolina, western, $5 per month ; northwestern, $6 to $10 per month ; northeastern, 28 cents per day ; central, $3 to $10 per month ; white laborers, $15 per month. Georgia, northwestern, $15 per month, or 75 cents per day. Alabama, southern, 30 cents per day ; northern, 25 j cents a day ; central, 00 cents a day. Mississippi, colored, 50 cents a day ; white, $12 to $15 per month, and found; newer parts, 50 cents 4 per day. Tennessee, western, $9 to $12 per month ; eastern, $10 to $12 per month. Ohio, mostly $10 per month, rather higher in the southern parts. Indiana, $9 to $10 per month. Illinois, central, and southern, $9 to $10 per month ; northern, $15 to $20 per month. Michigan, variable, average about $11 per month. Iowa, about $12,50 per month. As a general average, wages are higher in more newly settled regions, especially where emigration is rapid and enterprise considerable; in older country places the wages are lower, except near large cities, where they are hih. In the slaveholding States wages are generally considerably lower than elsewhere, with the exception of the sutjar region in Louisiana and the more southern, newer and cotton i producing portions. To these general remarks there are of course exceptions. Mechanics. In the more northern and eastern States the daily wages are from one dollar lo one dollar twenty-five cents, being higher in cities. In the more northern slave States wages are not quite so high. In the new slave Slates the wages of mechanics are higher, varying frome one to two dollars. In the Western States, the price is generally variable, bein" from 75 cents to two dollars per day; scarcity in a supply tending to advance the price; while the low price of provisions, and consequent higher rates of money, has a contrary tendency. In England the average wages of a laborer are forty cnts per day, but Ibe standard varies greatly. The Nottingham stocking weavers, in an address to the public. Hated that after toiling from fourteen to sixteen hours per day, they could earn only from one dollar to one dollar and twenty-five cents per week ; n.t wpre obliged to subsist on bread and water, or , potatoes and salt. In Ireland, the average price of common labor is from ten 10 iweive cum yr, uo7. In France, the common wages of a hired laborer are thirty-even dollars fifteen cents for a man, and eighteen dollars and seventy-five for a woman, annually ; the tales upon which are equal to one-fifth of the nett t.roduct. In some parts' of India, where the laborers want but a little rice and salt, the common wages are as low as five cents a day. That's a Fact. A British journal, in comment.ing on the recent acquisition! of the United States on the side of Mexico, says : Lookin to our first occupation of Eastern India, and our progress there afterwards, the less we say on the subject of a similar occupation by our American ' brethren of West ladia, the better.-

A Taylor Meeting. A Taylor demonstratio was made at New York on Tuesday night, and Mill tary Hall, in the Bowery, was crowded to overflow, ing. The accounts given both in the Herald and Courier represent it to have been one of those strange assemblages which can only be gatheied together in that city. The disorderly elements of all parties seemed to be present, mixed with a large majority, no doubt, of peaceable and orderly citizens. Wni fruai TjkKnflftn anil IVil T? lro tmAA Mcanl IrtA m Ant inr

vwo v vni moil bhu ws waaci auuicrnu uic t ckin The latter was constantly interrupted in his remarks by cries and exclamations of the most tumultuous and disorderly character. We give a specimen. Col. Baker said Is there any thing done by Gen. Taylor that conveys the impression that he is merely a rude soldier ! Now, I present this as some answer to the objection which some of our friends make to General Taylor. Those who make this objection belong to the same class who say, that they will not go for Gen. Taylor, because he might In the end be like Tyler. Now, there is no answer to be made to this objection. The man who reads General Taylor's history from Palo Alto to Buena Vista, and can't see any difference between Taylor and Tyler it is immaterial whom such a man votes for. Voice If he is like Tyler, he is an honest man. Col. Baker What 1 "Put him out !" Col. Baker What's that you say ! Put that down. Well, here is one person who calls John Tyler an honest man. (Laughter from all parts of the house.) Voice Tell us why Jlr. Clay can't be elected 1 Yes, tell us so. Col. Baker Well, Mr. Clay did not get the vote of New York at the last election. Suppose he could get it now take that for granted. I hope, if he were a candidate, that he would (ret it; but if he could get New York, he can't get Tennessee. ("Never, never.") There is not a member of Congress from Tennessee in his favor. But suppose he cou'.d get both New York and Tennessee, what then 1 A Voice Three cheers for Henry Clay, (Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, and some hisses.) A Voice Three cheers for General Taylor, (Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.) Col. Baker But this is not the question the question for us to decide is, whether there is not something in the course of public affairs in this country, which calls for sensible and patriotic men to mane our Presidents available at the ballot-box ; by taking up a man with whom we are sure to succeed, or leaving aside all chances of success, we are to devote ourselves to a task which hitherto we have been incapable of achieving J And suppose we were defeated, what would we do, but raise up a class of third or fourth rate politicians in our country, to be our future Presidents. What will the Democratic convention do in May ! Voice '-'"hit is right ! Voice Nominate Cass. Col. Biker What do you say 1 What has General Cass done! I tell you what the Convention will do they will do just as they did before; instead of taking a man who would be first rate for any thing, they will nominate some man like Mr. Polk, unknown and uuthotight of, and available enough to do any thing. They will select such a man. Voice But they can't elect him. Col. Baker They say they will prove it as they did with Mr. Clay, and you will help to make another little Proident, such as James K. Polk. Voice Three cheers for James K. Polk, hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah ! Voice Three more. Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah ! Terrible confusion cheering, clapping hands, hissing, Sic. Col. Baker If President Polk were here he would be highly gratified at this enthusiasm in his favor ; he would be much obliged to you too. for he is seldom cheered. Voice Three cheers for our country, right or wrong. Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah ! Voice Three cheers for Gen. Taylor. Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah ! At this stage of the proceedings, the meeting was very tumultuous, and no one could tell of what partied it was composed. Col. Baker continued standing, but it was in vain that he attempted to continue his remarks. Here is another scene. Voice Where are Gen. Taylor's opinions. Col. Baker They are in his heart. "Good, good." Voice We have no evidence of them ; we have nothing yet from him. Col. Biker (pointing to the inscriptions on the wall) look at that and see whether he has any opinions "I ask no favor and shrink from no responsibility." Look there aain ; If ever I till that office it must be without," &c. &.C. These are his opinions. Voice They are not sufficient for the intelligent people of the "Unit -d Slates. (Cries of "turn him out," "put him out.") Col. Baker. I can tell you another thing what Gen. Taylor will not do : he won't whip the Mexicans in a half a dozen battles ; he won't whip them merely for the name of it. He will not pretend that a great war is going on, when the enemy is beaten. He will withdraw our troops, and keep as much territory as we want. He won't talk of territory, for the purpose of elevating himself to power. (Cheers.) These are things which Gen. Taylor will not do. Voice Will he go for a bank ! what will he dowill he go for a tariff! Col. Baker. -Gea. Taylor is in favor of promoting American labor, because American labor is capital ; but whether he is in favor of the tariff of 1342 or the tariff of 1816, are questions to be determined by time and circumstances. One thing, however, is certain, that Mr. Poik, by this war, has entailed a debt on the country that will put the tariff practically at rest. Cries of "no, no, no." A Voice Three cheers for Mr. Folk. (Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.) A Voice Three cheers for Henry Clay. (Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.) Col. Baker Some few months from this time, Gen. Taylor will have been nominated by the convention. ("No, no," Never." "Yes he will." "He will.") There will be an enthusiastic feeling in his favor throughout the country ; when the people come to their sober second thoughts, they will be of one mind. You will all feel the glory of Palo Alto aud Reeca de la Palma, M nterey and Buena Vista, and if I shall have the pleasure of seeing some of the faces now before me, then, I hope it will beat a meeting somewhat more orderly than this : and when I return to my own little sphere, I shall do the best I can to elect old Zachary Taylor ; I know he will be President. Voice Will you be paid for it! Voice Will you get an office in the custom house! Col. Baker. Some person here thinks there is no place like the cu-tom-houce, but I can tell him it has no charms for me. I have filled some little offices in my time in the country ; 1 have been a Colonel of a Regiment in Mexico; I have been a member of the Legislature of my State; I have been a representative in Congre-8 ; I don't wish for an office in the customhouse, but if I did want it, I should go for old Zack as the best chance to get one. Having made these remarks, I regret that 1 was not allowed to deliver my sentiments more fully, and will now respectfully take my leave of yuu. When Col. Baker sat down, some one proposed three cheers for Polk and occupation which were given. The meeting then adjourned in the greatest confusion, and thus ended the demonstration. A Capital Joke. Our readers will recollect that after the Senatorial election in Louisiana, Dr. Jones, of Jefferson, electrified the House of Representatives by a communication that Dr. Myles, a fellow member, had told him that he had been offered four negroes not to vote for Senator. Myles was absent on that occaniun; and a committee was raided to inquire into the facts. It turned out that while there was nothing to exculpate Myles, the prosecutor. Dr. Jones, had himself gone to Mr. Slidell, who was understood to be the democratic nominee, and stated that he was no great shakes of a whig himself, that his parish was democratic, his health was poor, and would be benefitted by a trip to Cuba, ij his extenses could be paid. Mr. Slidell commisserated his condition, but made no offer either of negroes, or to send him to Cuba, and so the Doctor remained to vote, and then charge others with taking what he had eo much desired, an excuse for absence. Pittsburgh Post. Cowhiding Affair, We learn from the Boonsboro Odd Fellow, that a few days ago quite an excitement was created at Fairfax Court House, Vt., by an attempted elopement f a young girl with her lover, both of highly respectable standing. The father of the young lady detected the scheme, and gave the young man a cowhiding J Both are members of the M. . church. The affair will undergo an investigation by the Churoh and Court.

From tb Journal of Commerce. Henry Clay. When the poor have cried, Casar hath wept. n In his late Rule or Ruin " speech, Mr. Clay indulges in a laudable strain of sympathy for calamities necessarily attendant upon (what he terms) "our present unjust, unnecessary, and unnatural war." lie sopliistically places all opposition to it in favorable contrast with that of the party who opposed

(what he calls) " our just and necessary war vf oefence with England." Circumstances) alter cases " is an adage in every one's mouth, and may well be applied to the case in question. In 1812 we find Mr. Clay, a young and ar dent adventurer in pursuit of political fame, when perhaps the goal of his ambition was glittering in the distance, mounted the war-horse for his hobby, and reckless of the distress to follow, plunged his unprepared country into incalculable woe. And although it was his fortune, in conjunction with others, event ually to extricate it from the ra6h measure which he too eloquently counseled, it was done without a concession of the ostensible objects contended for, and not until rivers of blood had been 6hed, and hundreds of millions of our property had been captured, ex pended and lopt. That war, of which Mr. Clay in forms us, in his speech, " President Madison with great doubt and hesitation brought himself to the conviction that it ought to be declared, and to which Mr. Gallatin, the mögt influential member of his cabinet up to the time of its declaration, was opposed. But nothing could withstand the irresistible force of public opinion. It Was a just war, and its great object, as announced at the time, was 'Free trade and sailr rights' against the intolerable and oppressive acts of British power on the Ocean." Inspecting the force of public sentiment which Mr. Clay refers to, it is unnecessary for us to state what is well known to all conversant with our history, that the war party was greatly in the minority, notwith standing the measure was carried through Congress by a small majority. Perhaps Mr. Clay can inform us the number of lucrative offices that were promised in secret Caucus in order to secure that majority, as well as enlighten us as to the influence brought to bear on the mind of the President by a committee of that caucus, (of which he was chairman,) which caused Mr. Madison to succumb, and finally send his war-message in opposition to las own freely express ed convictions, as well as those of Mr. Gallatin. If war is ever justifiable, we had good and suffi cient grounds against both the belligerents of that day. The policy of watrinff it at a oeriod when we had but a nominal, army, and that scattered over a vast territory when our naval armament had been dismantled by Mr. Jefferson, and its officers were on furlough, and whilst our commerce whitened every sea was doubted by many great and good men, be' sides Mr. Madison and Mr. Gallatin. Impressed as Mr. Clay was with the justice of our cause, is it not surprising that he should have ab.n doned Free trade and sailor's rights" at Ghent! We find no confession in that treaty ; indeed it con tains nothing better than Messrs. Monroe and Pinck ney had negotiated for before the war, in the treaty which Mr. Jefferson declined submitting to the Sen ate. By his effrontery in alluding to that inglorious peace, he surely under-estimates general information, or he had nothing better to offL-r than what had afforded him political capital in the heyday of his ca reer. We have understood that Mr. Clav has often boasted, that although "free trade and Bailor's rights " were the ostensible, the real object of the war party was the defeat and overthrow of the Federalists, in which they succeeded. Nor are we better pleased with .Mr. Clay's allusion to the Hartford Convention. In fact, a body of more eminent and unexceptionable men have probably nev er been assembled in New England. It was com posed of distinguished patriots and heroes of the revo luuon, or ex-governors, senators in Congress and Judges of the Supreme Court. It was graced also by members of the Revolutionary Congress, as well as a son of the commander of our forces at Bunker Hill, himself an eminent civilian, and the fattier of the first historian of the age. This Convention has been re viled by multitudes of persons totally unacquainted with its objects and its proceedings, and by not a few who probably are ignorant even of the geographica position of "the place in which it was held. And it was sufficient for those somewhat better informed but equally regardless of truth and justice, that it af forded an opportunity to kindle the resentments o party, against men whose talei-ts they feared, whose respectability they could not but acknowledge, whose integrity they dare not impeach, aud the sincerity of whose principles they had not the courage even to question. That Mr. Clay, at this advanced period of life, should add his sanction, for political effect, to often refuted calumnies, could hardly have been affected ;! but so it is, and it manifests a disposition still to en courage vulgar prejudice at the expense of the truth, or that hf him amiPrl nr nn nrra fiie ho fii oa.n . r...i i i it rora Ot Which lift 14 nn Innrror rocnnncihlo ,.ri " V 1 . .

A Singular Incident. A late number of the New York Sun contained the following advertisement: "If the cabman who brought a gentleman to the Astor House, at about 11 o'clock this morning, (Monday,) will call at the office and leave word with either of the clerks, at what street and number he found the gentleman, he will be most liberally rewarded." 1 his mysterious notice 6et everybody wondering and gueesin?. Alter a lew days the mystery was solved by the New York correspondent of a Boston paper : and the facts, as he represents them, make out a case 6ucli as has rarely occurred in New York or else where. It appears by the statement that a gentleman arrived in New York from Syracuse, with $15,000, for the purpose of making purchases. Having selected his goods and got his drafts cashed, he started off with three fine fellows drummers) upon a spree. After getting pretty well excited at the stimulating game of tenpins, nothing more they explored the unknown regious of Church and Leonard streets, kept up the game for two or three days until at last our country merchant found himself, by seme mysterious agency, leaning over an area railing in Walker street, and there all consciousness left him, together with some 12,000 in cash and $300 worth of jewelry, at 3 o'clock in the morning. The first returning dawn of reason hit him hard at about 10 0 clock on Monday morning, when he awoke in bed, and, glancing at his under and only covering, discovered its material to be coarse cotton, instead of fine linen ! which, operating (like a brandy-smasher) as an eye opener, he raised himself, sane, and espied a very fair young girl ironing at a side table, while his clothes were hanging upon chairs before the fire. " Will you have the kindness to tell me, Miss, how the deuce I came here!" 'Yes, Sir : 1 saw you in Walker street about 3 o'clock in the morning, clinging to a lamp-post, and as you couldn't name to me your residence or destination, I took the liberty of bringing you to my lodgings anJ of relieving me of the balance of my money, thought he-Your clothes were soiled, as was your linen. I have washed the one and cleaned the other?, and they will be ready in a few moments." I believe I had a small sum of money about me lost night. Miss !" ejaculated he, like a man conscious of his own ruin. 'Not a very small sum, sir," e 10 replied; 'but here it is, sir, with the watch and jewelry." The gentleman dressed himself in haste, and -slipping a $100 note into her hand, hurried down stairs, jumped into a cab she had ordered at his request, and was soon set down at the Astor House ; nor was it until on narrating his wonderful escape from robbery, and a friend inquiring where this singular creature lived, that he cursed his stupidity t not having taken no tice of the location. frtA Dutchman was relating bis marvellous es cape from drowning, when thirteen of his companions were lost by the upsetting of a boat, and he alone was saved. "And how did you escape their fate!" asked one of his hearers. "I did not go in the boat," was the Dutchman's placid answer.

A Marvellous Gourmand. A correspondent of the Newark Daily Advertiser, writing from Augusta, Geoigia, relates the following gourmandizing performance, which he says was witnessed by a number of respectable gentlemen, some of whom were interested by wager in the result : The subject was a negro man of middling age and size, weighing about 150 pounds, who in the 6hort space of two hours; at the usual hour for breakfast, ate and drank the enormous quantity of provisions comprised in the following list, viz: 13 catfish, 2 shad, 11 dozen biscuit, 40 flat cakes, 11 lb. butter, 6

link sausages. 23 eggs, 30 ears of corn, 4 chickens, 2 slices o( beef steak, and 2 of liver, 1 gallon back bone stew, 2 large plates of rice, 19 cups of coffee, and 1 pint of brandy. The inconvenience attending this experiment was so trifling that he immediately walked to another quarter of the city and ate 17 watermelons, expressng a desire to partake ot more could they have been "bund. It may be proper to add, in connection with the above, and it would seem strange too, that as re gards his ordinary habits of eating and drinking, he is remarkably abstemious. The Patent Offices. The revenue of the Patent Office, for 1847, from all sources, was $63,111 19 ; expenditures, 841,873 21 surplus. $21.232 94. The surpluses of the last three years were as follows: In 1Ö45, $11.000 40; in 1846, $4,105 45 diminution owing to the rejection of British patents ; 1847, $21,234 92 total $37.017 88. On the 1st of January, 1847, the patent fund was $186.565 14; add surplus of 1st of January, 1348, $21,232 94; actual patent fund 1st of January, 1843, $206,793 03. The war seems to have stimulated inventions the tees trom patents for 1847 having been remarkably large. The examinations, owing to the extraordinary increase of business, are seien months behind ; all the other busi ness of the department is up. There are but two ex aminers in the offices; there ought to be at least four. Both Air. Lllsworth, (Mr. Burke s predecessor,) and Mr. Burke, have at various times applied to Congress for aid, and a bill making provisions for the increase of the scientific force of the Patent Office two prin cipal examiners and two assistants has just passed the Senate. 0Revenge. Banish all malignant and revenge ful thoughts. A spirit of revenge is a spirit of the devil ; than which nothing makes a man more like him, and nothing can be more opposite to the temper wiucn Christianity was designed to promote, it our revenge be not satisfied it will torment you now ; if it be, it will give you greater hereafter. None is greater self-tormentor than a malicious and revenge tut man, who turns the poison of his own temper in upon himself. The Christian precept on this case, is "Let not the sun go down upon your wrath ;" and this precept Plutarch tells us, the Pythegoreans prac ticed in a literal sense: "Who, if at any time in a passion, they broke into opprobrious language before the su nset gave one another their hands, and with them a discharge from all injuries ; and so with a mutual conciliation, parted friends." Moore. Eclipses in 1843. There will be seven eclipses the present year four of the sun, two of the moon and one of the -Great whig Embodiment." March 5, a partial eclipse of the Sun, visible. March 19, total eclipse of the Moon, partially visible. Septem ber, 12, a total eclipse of the Mcon, visible. Septem ber 27, eclipse of the Sun, invisible. November first, total eclipse of the great whig party, visible throughout the United States and Mexico, also, at the head-quarters of Salt River. This latter eclipse does not occur oftener than once in 4 years, and will be witnessed with intense anxiety by persons on both sides ot the Kio Uravo. Cadiz Sen. A volume of Treason. Gen. Pierce, in his speech at Concord, N. H., recently, on the occasion of his reception, stated that on entering, the nationa palace of Mexico, our soldiers found a bound volume of extracts from the different papers throughout the United btates opposed to the war. lhese extracts were taken indiscriminately from all the opposition papers, and were used by the Mexican government to produce the impression amongst the people of that country that this country and the press of the United btates were opposed to the war.

THE ONLY 11E3IEDV J HART'S VEGETABLE EX TRACT invaluable remedy for Epileptic Fits or Falling Sickness. Convulsions, Spasms, .c. It is well knowa that from time inimrmnrial, physicians nave pronounced Epileptic fita incurable. It basbafnd all ibeir skill, and the boasted power of all medicine, and consequently thousands have suffered thruui h a iiiserable e liste nee, and at last yielded up their lives on the altar of insantty. Physicians of every a ;e have pronounced tins disease incurable. The proprietors of the vegetable extract, however, feel no delicacy in predaring tlu t it can be cured. They would, therefore, respectfully invite physicians, and all others who are interested, In eiamine the testimony which is here offered. If it ti deception, let it be exposed ; but

if it is true, then in the name of humanity, no longer let it be said that Epilepsy Is incurable. Hart's vcsroirtme uxtrncr. For sixteen years, has been tested by many persons who have suffered wilb this dreadful disease, and in every case where it baa bad a fair trial, has effected a permanent cure. Col. Uennlow.of Yotiker, new lora, states mat nis daugnter nas been afflicted with His for mora han nine years, and has been cured by the vegetable extract Mrs. i. Knuliey, lia, urennra street, incw xorc, siaies inai sne naa been subjects In his lor many years, and has been restured to perfect health, alter every other means had tailed, by tbe use of the vegetable extiact. Ur. Charles A. Brown, or Dover, Russell county, Alabama, who ia one nl the best physicians in the totale, says that he has been much benefitted by the use of the vegetable ei tract, ana mat ne unhesitat ingly prescribes it iu every case of fcpiiepsy wnicn comes uuaer nrs knowledge. Curtis (i. Mayberry, Esq., formerly postmaster at Um Mills, Craw(rdco..Pa..now livinein Erie co . Pa., states that fur many years past be has ln sorely afflicted with fits, and be is now happy to suite that bv a persevering use ol Ur. Hart's Vegetable Extract for a few RKtmrta, nas iraiored turn to sound neaiui, being enureiy iroo irom that worst of all diseases. It will Cure! The child of William C. Anderxon. North Fourth street. YVilllamsburyh, aeed 0 months, bad fits constantly for eicht weeks. A eonuiuHKMi oi pnywcians was called, who decided Xital ine case was nor i ess one, ana that the child must die. WDit me cruia was in this danferoos state, Mr. Anderson called at my office, which was in the month of February last, and obtained a bottle of tbe extract with the accompanying medicines, and administered it to the child, and tbe result was a pertect restoration of healih, which has continued to the present lime. 1 11 son or Konen Metres, corner of Sullivan ana rnnce streeis New York, was severely afflicted with enilenlic fits. In this ea-al so, tlie physicians held a consultation, and decided that tbey could do no mure, and tnat nature inut effect its own cure, or the boy must die. The vegetable extract was ailminiotenrd to him whilst in a fit, and I was told by one of the attending physicians, as well as by Mr. McGea liiuiseir, th.it its effects were almost instantaneous. The fit was bro ken and the boy restored to health. Mr. McUee says, "I shall never apttn be without the medicine i n my house if t can avoid it, for fear that some of the rest of my child ten may be attacked in the same way. l consider tne medicine invaluable. I estiiiioiiy upon Testimony. I n reference to the almost miraculous efficacy of this truly wonderful medicine, read the lollow letter from Doctor W. L.. Monroe, ot tiuit ford, Ohio, one of the most eminent physicians in that place. GciLroan, Ohio, August 17th, 1646. Brother lahorer In tbe cause of Humanity : Dear Sir It is with no small degree of pleasure that I am enabled to announce to you the complete triumph nf your invaluable medicine in cases of Epilepsy. I have prescribed it in four instances in this vicinity. and it has been Miccesslul in all. Three of the patients, I trust. have been radically cured Tbe lourth is rapidly improving, and will, 1 think, without doubt recover. 1 am not in the hahitof prescribing or recommending pntent medicines, but when I see an article which protilises so much for the relief of suffering humanity, I feel it my duty . ' . l - i i . . I LO recommenu u ; nnu i nave no nesuaiion in saying, um u swn as i the tacultv are fullv acauainted with the real merit of four medicine. they will close their e ea against prejudice, and lend you a helping nana I subscribe myseii, yours, sincerely, w . u. Aiu.Mtuc, i. u To Dr. S. Hart. New York. FITS OF 27 YEARS JUVD 6 MOMTHS CURED BY THE USE OF THIS TRULY WOXDERFUL MEDICIXE. Read the followine remarkable case of the son of William Secore, Esq. of Philadelphia, afflicted with epileptic fits -27 years and 6 months After travelling through England. Scotland, Germany and France, consulting the most eminent physicians, and expending for medicine, medical treatment and advice, three thousand dollars, returned with his son to this country, in November last, without receiving any benefit whatever, and was cured by using Hart s Vegetable ixtrad. Mr. Wm. Secore's letter to lrs. Ivan fc Hart. I have spent over three thousand dollars for medicine and medical attendance. I was advised lo lake a tour to Europe, which I did. I first visited England, 1 consulted the most eminent physicians there in lespect to his case They examined him and prescribed accordingly. I remained there three months without perceiving anr change fcir the better, which cost me about two hundred and fifty dollars, pocketed by the physicians, and the most I received was their opinion that my son's case was hopeless and positively incurable, I accordingly left Lngland,and travelled throuch Scotland, Germany and France, and returned borne in tbe month of November last. I saw your advertisement In one of the York papers, and concluded to try Hart's Vegetable Extract, seeing your statements and certificates of an many cures, some of twenty and thirlv ve;ir' standing, and I can assure vou that i am not sorry I did so, as by the use of Hart's Veerts We Extract alone, he was restored to per lect health. II is reason, which was so far gone as to unfit him for business is entirely restored, with tire prosnect now betöre mm, ol life, health and usefulness. He is now Sä years of age, and 27 years and 6 months of this time has been afflicted with this most dreadful of diseases ; but thank God, be is now enjoying good health. Now, gentlemen, faith without works I dont believe in. To say that I shall be ever grateful to you is one thing, and as I here enclose you one hundred dollars, I have no doubt but you will think this another, and quire a different thing. The debt of gratitude 1 still owe you ; but please acrept this amount as interest on the debt in advance. Yours, very respectmiiy, WILLIAM SECOKE. Oiiiiiions of the Press. Errursv. This disease is considered by all to be the most dreadful that ever afflicted the human race, as its tendency is to insanity, mad ness and death. With such fearful re wilts aa these, who, among iu unhappy subjects does not shudder. The most skilful physicians of Europe, as well as those of our own country, have pronounced Epilep sy (or tailing sickness as it may be termed) Incurable. We are nappy however, to stale to our readers that Urs. I vans St Hart of this city, by king and tedious research, have discovered the primary cause of this dreadful disease, and also its remedy a remedy which in most case will in a very short lime effect a permanent cure. We speak thus pos itive, because we have within the last few weeks seen quite a number of persons who have been cured by their remedy ; one ol which is a man of unquestionable veracity, who stated to us that he bad been af flicted with epilepsy in its worst form (or nearly 24 years, and had from time to lime employed tlie best n edical talent lo be bund, and all lo no purpose, until be placed himself under tbe treatment of Urs. Ivans It Hart, which was but a few weeks since, and now, says be, "I thank 'Jod. 1 feel that I am a well man. 1 also feel it my duty to pro claim it untie ends of the earth, that those similarly afflicted, may Bud reik-r." I ' ..,., Ik. In n mi i a.amA h. mnmm that mam n n.lA. lHltm.ll and others who have been cured. One says, "I have suffered beyond mv nowers of descriotion. but now I reioice in the orosDect of soon beins fullv restored, as mv health of Lite h.ia much imnmved." Another who is an eminent lawyer and well known in tins city, says, "My son has been afflicted for years with epilepsy, but is now enjoying good health from the Vegetable Extract. Its fame, says he, should and misht to be sounded lo the ends oi the earth." Another says, "Lan guage is entirely inadequate to express my gratitude to Messrs. Ivans it Hurt lor navmg been tlie means under tne blessing ol uixi, ol restoring me to the enjoyment of good health alter having been afflicted with epilepsy in its wor forms lor more than 33 years, and my morning and evening ot unions ol praise ana thanksgiving snail continue to as cend to th.u God wbo has afflicted, but to make m whole." We doubt not that Die time is not far distant when thousands who are now tremblinc under the band of this dreadful disease, sod fearing that every attack may prove fatal, will find permanent relief and ne restored to new life by using this celebrated medicine, HART'S VEQETAALE F.X1RACT.
