OS FOR CARRYING ON THE WAR WITH MEXICO. 3SSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT. e following is tbo Message and accompa documents, submitted to the Senate on lay, by the President, in answer to a reso of the Senate of June 3, 1846, calling for lation relative to the mode of raising for carrying on the war with Mexico. ! Senate of the United Slates: answer to the resolution of the Senate of 1 inst., I communicate herewith estimates red by the War and Navy Departments, ! probable expenses of conducting the ex war with Mexico, during the remainder > present and the whole of the next fiscal I communicate, also, a report of the Sec of the Treasury, based upon these esti i, containing recommendations of measures ising the additional means required. It bable that the actual expenses incurred g the period specified may fall considera slow the estimates submitted, which are larger number of troops than have yet called to the field. As a precautionary urc, however, against any possible defi y, the estimates have been made at the st amount which any state of the service require. will be perceived from the report of the ! itary of the Treasury that a considerable >n of the additional amount required may ised by a modification of the rates of duty j sed by the existing tariff laws. The high ' s at present levied on many articles total elude them from importation, whilst the tity and amount of others which are im sd are greatly diminished. By reducing i duties to a revenue standard, it is not | ted that a largo amount of the articles 011 h they are imposed would be imported, 1 corresponding amount of revenue be re id at the treasury from this source. By I ising revenue duties on many articles now fitted to be imported free of duty, ftftd by j lating the rates within the revenue stand- j ipon others, a large additional revenue will filected. Independently of the high con ations which induced me, in my annual sage, to recommend a modification and re ion of the rates of duty imposed by the act 342 as being not only proper in reference state of peace, but just to all the great in- j ;ts of the country, the necessity of such ification and reduction as a war measure t now be manifest. The country requires tional revenue for the prosecution of the It may be obtained, to a great extent, educing the prohibitory and highly protec- 1 duties imposed bv*the existing laws to le je rales; by imposing revenue duties on tho list; and by modifying the rates of duty on ir articles. 'he modifications recommended by the Sec- j ry of the Treasury in his annual report in lember last, were adapted to a state of peace, the additional duties now suggested by , are with a view strictly to raise revenue war measure. At the conclusion of the these duties may and should be abolished, reduced to lower rates. ' t is not apprehended that the existing war , h Mexico will materially affect our trade | commerce with the rest of tho world.— i thecontiary, the reductions proposed would ; rease that trade, and augment the revenue I ived from it. >Vben the country is in a state of war 110 j tingency should be permitted to occur in ich there would be a deficiency in the trea- j y, for the vigorous prosecution of the war; to guard against such an event it is recom nded that contingent authority bo given ssue treasury notes, or to contract a loan for mited amount, reimbursable at an early day. >uld no occasion arise to exercise the power, I it may be important that the authority >uld exist should there be a necessity for it. t is not deemed necessary to resort to direct ies or excises—the measures recommended ng deemed preferable as a means of increas ; the revenue. It is hoped that the war with ixico, if vigorously prosecuted, as is contem- Lted, may be of short duration. I shall be it times ready to conclude an honorable peace lenever the Mexican government shall nian:- t a like disposition. Tho existing war has jn rendered necessary by the acts of Mexico; d whenever that power shall be ready to do justice, we shall be prepared to sheathe the ord, and tender to her the olive branch of .ace. JAMES K. POLK. Washington, June IG, 1846. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Juno 15, 1816. SIR: I have duly considered the resolution of e Senate, of the 3d of June, 1846, together ith the estimates of the Secretary of the Navy, 'the 9th inst., and df the Secretary of War, 'the 13th inst., submitted by you to this de irtment, and respectfully report to you as fol ws: It appears that the aggregate estimated ex enditures of the War and Navy Departments ir the fiscal years terminating on the 30th ot une, 1846, and the 30 th of June, 164", amount i $23,952,904, over and above the estimates lade by these departments in December last, nd then submitted in my annual report to Con ress. In that report it was supposed by this Bpartmont, that upon tho expenditures then itirnated for a state of peace, there would ro lainon the Ist of July, 1847, a balance in the •easury of $1,332,441 07., Deducting this alanco from the excess of expenditures above stimated by the War and Navy Departments, lere would result a deficiency of $19,620,463. It is believed, however, that this deficiency jvill, from augmented receipts accrued and ac cruing for the fiscal years 1846 and 1841, be AND BALTIMORE DAILY CLIPPER. I'KIXTKD AXD PUBLISHED EVERY MORXHG, BY BULL & TUTTLE, No. 131 BALTIMORE STREET, BALTIMORE. Jld diminished four millions of dollars, which would reduce the deficit on the Ist of Julv, 1547, to 4,15,620,463. It is ascertained by experience, that for the certain, prompt, and convenient p<u*fc.nt ofthe public creditors, at all times and plAßtiirough out our extended territory, and tlWpupply of the mint and branch mints for coinage, a sum of lour millions of dollars, especially during a state of war, must remain on hand in the treas ury, which would again raiso the sum to be provided for before the 30th of June, 1847, to $19,620,463. it is believed, however, that a sum equal to 55,534,057 of additional revenue may be pro duced by the modification of the tariff herein proposed—namely, to adopt, as a basis, the hill reducing the tariff reported by the Committee of Ways and Means to the House of Represen tatives on the 14th of April last, together with the augmented and additional duties now pro posed and enumerated in schedule A. Tiiis change of the bill reported by the committee, omitting the fourth section, would make an ad dition to the revenue to be produced by that bill, of 54,034,057. After a very careful examination of the ad ditional data which it has been in my power to obtain since the month of February last, it is iny conviction that the bill of the committee will produce a net revenue of at least twenty six millions of dollars. If to this bo added the additional duties proposed to be levied in sched ule A, the bill of the committee, with the mod ifications embraced in that schedule, would produce a net revenue of 34,057. This would make an addition of $5,534,057 to the revenue that would be produced under the ac of the 30th of August, 1542. If, then, we det duct this $5,534,057 from the deficit above es timated, it would still leave a deficit of $14,- 086,406. If, in addition to the modifications of the tar iff above suggested, the warehousing system were ad pted, as rocotnmended in my annual report of December last, it would make an ad dition to the annual revenue from customs of one million of dollars, which deducted from tho above deficit, would leave a deficiency still re maining of $13,086,406. It is true that the introduction of the ware housing system might diminish the revenue du ling a portion of the first year succeeding its adoption; but that it would add one million of dollars per annum to the permanent annual revenue from customs is not doubted. It is believed also that the reduction and gra duation of the price of the public lands in favor of settlers and cultivators, as recommended in your message of December last, would make an annual addition of halfa million of dollars to the revenue derivable from the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, by bringing into market many millions of acres ofthe public do main which are wholly unsaleable at the pre sent minimum price established by law. De ducting this sum of half a million of dollars from the deficit last above mentioned, would leave still unprovided for tho sum of $12,586,- 405, which must be met by loan, treasury notes, direct taxation, or excises. In addition to the strong objections which have been urged against direct taxes and exci ses, it. would be difficult to put in operation such a system in all the states and Territories, so as to "realize the required amount in cash, before the 30th of June, 184". A system of direct taxes and excises, it is believed, would not meet the sanction of the people, unless in 1 the emergency of a war with some great rnari ! time nation, exposing our commerce to great hazard, and greatly reducing the revenue from duties on imports. The only remaining means for supplying this i deficit within the required period, is by loans I or treasury notes; and I would accordingly re commend, with a view to the most vigorous ! prosecuting of the existing war with Mexico, so as to bring it to a speedy and honorable ter mination, that a contingent authority should bo vested in this department, with your sanc i tion. to issue treasury notes, or effect a lean of \ a sum in the aggregate not exceeding the last I abov<.mentioned deficit of $12,586,406. I think it would bo most advantageous to the government, that a portion of this money should be raised by treasury notes, and the re mainder by loans, limiting the interest in both cases to a rate not exceeding six per cent, per annum, and forbidding the negotiation in ei ther case below the par value, if the authori ty were limited so as to cover this deficit, and the power given to resort to loans or treasury notes, or both, as the emergency might re quire, the money might be raised at a much lower rate of interest than if the department were confined either to loans alone, or to trea sury notes. The experience of the Govern ment has demonstrated that there are periods when loans are most available, and that there are occasions when treasury notes are much better adapted to meet the emergency; and the power to select both, or either, from time to rune, would render the negotiation more cer tain, and probably save a very large amount of interest to the government. If the war should be speedily terminated, it is possible that are sort to loans or treasury notes might not be re • quired, or it so, for an inconsiderable amount. The same power that is now given by law to re deem the loan, even before its maturity, when -1 ever the funds of the government will permit, so as to liquidate any public debt as speedily as possible, should be continued, as also the au thority for the reissue of the treasury notes as heretofore provided by law, as well as for their receipt in revenue payments. The additional duties designated in schedule A, are recommended as a war measure, and to terminate with the restoration of peace, or as soon thereafter as the state of the public finan ces will permit their discontinuance. I have the honor to be, sir, most respectful ly, your obedient servant, 11. J. WALKER, Sec. of the Treasury. WAR DEPARTMENT, Washington, June 13, 1546. SIR: I have the honor herewith to submit to you the estimates which have been made at this department, to enable you to answer the resolution of the Senate, of tho 3d instant, re questing to be furnished with an estimate of the amount of money required during the present and next fiscal year for such a prosecution of the existing war with Mexico as will most like ly result in its speedy and honorable termina tion. . These estimates are made upon the assump tion that the regular army will soon be filled to its maximum, which will amount to 15,500 mon, and that a volunteer force of 20,000 foot, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1846. and 5,000 mounted nten, is to be at once organ ized. received into service, and kept therein until the end of the next fiscal year—to wit: to the 30th of June, 1817. The estimates are made for an army of over 40,000 men, mostly operating in the field, in an enemy's country, deriving their supplies principally from the ti nned States. How long it will bo before the regular army can be filled up to the extent authorized by law will depend upon success in recruting. Its numbers as yet do not much exceed one half its maximum. It is hoped thai in a few months the ranks w ill be nearly filled; its average total number through the next fiscal year will not probably exceed 12,500. The number of volunteers actually caliedfor immediate service, by virtue of yourorders un der the act of 13th of May last, will amount to about 18,000, and whether a greater number will or will not be required for the ensuing cam paign cannot now be determined. Should the number already called for be deemed sufficient for the successful prosecution of the war, the estimates being made on a basis exceeding that number by seven thousand, will be found pro portionably too large. Should these views as to the extent of the regular and volunteer force be realized, the ar my will not exceed 50,000 men; and all or near ly all the estimates presented herewith might be reduced one-fourth in amount; yet it is impos sible to foresee the exigencies of the service.— It may require the full amount of the force on which the estimates have been made, and even more; and 1 have riot therefore felt at liberty to make any reductions of the estimates pre sented by the several branches of this depart ment. I take the liberty to direct your particular attention to the estimates of the quartermas ter general. You will perceive they are large, very largo, and I hope much exceed the expen ditures which may be required. They are made on the supposition tiiat our army will penetrate far into the interior of the enemy's country, and that all supplies, and munitions will necessarily be transported on long lines and those far from being easily travered.— Should the enemy's country abound in forage, the expense of transportation will be greatly reduced; but the uncertainty as to the country to be invaded, and the still greater uncertainty as to its resources, do not warrant deductions to be made on the estimated items for sup plies, and the transportation of them to pla ces where they may be needed. Should tiie navigation of the Rio Grande be found prac ticable fur steamboats of light draught to Car mago. or above, much will be saved probably by the use of that river, yet considerable sums must be expended in the purchase of boats, &c. It is further to bo observed that 110 inconsid erable amount of the expenses which will fall on the quartermaster's department, i 3 in the nature of an outfit, and would not be required to be repeated should the war be protracted be yond the next fiscal year. The estimates in the quartermaster's department are made with out much regard to the chances favorable to diminished expenses. Provision had not been made (for the restricted appropriations in past years would not permit it to be made) for a sudden augmentation of our force to four times its usual amount. The necessity of making such a provision on the shortest notice will greatly increase the cost of it, and this falls mainly on tho quartermaster's department. It is hoped that the actual expenses of this branch of the service will fall some two or three mil lions short of the full estimates hero presented, yet this is not so certain as to authorize the de pa! tment to cut them down in that amount. I am, with great respect, Your obedient servant, W. L. MARCY. To the PRESIDENT.

Y. who died at Pittsburg a few days since, previous to his death requested that his body might be sent home to his family. This rendered embalming necessary, which op oration was performed by Dr. Fahenstock.— The Chronicle says: He first severed the articles of the neck, and then proceeded to inject a solution of arsenic, highly impregnated, into each severally, until he became satisfied that the fluid had found its way into every vain and avenue throughout tlie entire body. The arteriesjwero then tight ly closed by cords, to exclude the air, and the body adjusted in its shroud and coffin, without any apparent mutilation. This is sai'd to be an entirely new process of embalming, and as such is worthy of attention. Several medical : gentlemen, we understand were witnesses of the operation, and attested its practicability.— | It is said that this mode of embalming will j keep the body perfect for many years.

We received last night the New Orleans pa pers ofthe Bth, 9th and 10th inst., as late as due, but they contain nothing later from the Army. We give below, however, some later and interesting news from Mexico. [From the Charleston Courier of Monday,] LATE FROM MEXICO VIA HAVANA. By the schr. Merchant, Capt. Koan, arrived at this port yesterday, we rcoeired files of Ha vana and Matanzas papers flfchc 10th inst.— From the Havana Diurio mfia Marina of the 9th inst. wo translate Ihrfbllowing letter, which is later than the advices from Vera Cruz brought by the steamer Mississippi, at l'ensa cola. VERA CRUZ, June I, 1816. The Consuls ofthe neuter nations have pro tested against the blockade of this port, declared on the 20th of last month by the commandant ofthe U. S. fleet, which allows only 15 days for foreign vessels to leave the port. The principal portion of tho American fleet is now at lsla Vords, and tiie American men-of-war St. Mary's and Falmouth, and a small brig, are cruising before Tampico. Many families are leaving this oily for the in terior. Wo are now hero as in 1338, with the only difference that tho Castle is in a better con dition. After much delay the Congress ofthe nation had tho first meeting on the 27th, Senor Busla meute (the ex-president) being appointed Pre sident of the same, and it is generally believed that Pa redes will be elected legal President of the Republic. It is said that Paredes will march over to I Matamoras at the Itead of a strong army, the . largest portion composed from the body of! troops called Reseree. The day for the departure of the army is fix- j ed already, but nobody knows it. Gen. Bravo i will occupy the Presidency ad interim. The suspension of and business remained in the worst condition. The } Government had called a meeting for the pur- j pose of procuring resources, which I believe can j hardly be obtained, because the clergy is not j able to pay the amount of #9O ,000 monthly, i asked by the Government; and on the other hand tiie actual condition of the several States is not such as to expect from them any resour- , ccs. [From the Picayune, 10th instant.] MEXICAN AFFAIRS. W'e have been gratified by an interview with Mr. Dimond, our former Consul at Vera Cruz, who sailed from that city in the U. S. steam ship Mississippi on the 3th tilt. Mr. Dimond informs us that Santa Anna's arrival was daily j expected by many persons in Vera Crtiz, and that tire country was ripe for his reception. A plan of a new revolution had been published, based upon the Constitution of 1827, upon which it was supposed the Federal and the Santa Anna parties would unite. The Fede ralists were unable to make head against the Government by themselves; but when joined by Santa Anna's adherents, the success of the two combined could scarcely be doubtod. In this plan the Texas question was slurred over —nothing being said about it. -Mr. Dimond thought it quite probable that Santa Anna and Almonte would arrive at Vera Cruz by the next steamer from Havana—this, however, was doubled by some well-informed parties. The period for the general elections had passed, and it was not thought that a sufficient number of Congressmen were elected to form a quorum. Paredes is waiting for the meeting of Congress, to get permission to leave the seat of Government at the head of 10,000 men— avowedly fertile Rio Grande—but the better opinion seemed to be tiiat this force was de signed for his own protection. The death of the Archbishop was a heavy blow to the monarchical party. Upon his death-bed the ambitious prelate regretted that his life could no' be spared to assist in consum mating the schemes of that faction. AVith him the hopes of the monarchists have died. The Departments are pronouncing against Paredes in eveiy direction. Ilis heavy de mands upon the churches and the Stales have rendered him more unpopular than before. !t is not thought lie can maintain his power for any considerable length of time. Mr. Dimond relates one or two circumstances which are extremely credible to Gen. Bravo, who is in command of the forces at Vera Cruz. Shortly after the breaking out of hostilities, a council of war was held at which it was voted to seize the American vessels, then in port, as prizes. But Gen. Bravo would not abide by this decision. He allowed several vessels to depart with heavy cargoes, because, as he said, "they had entered the port in good faith, and they should be allowed to depart in good faith." Wh'en Mr. Dimond goton board of the Mis sissippi, there were several Mexican vessels anchored under the guns of the squadron, tak en as prizes. Upon being told of the liberal conduct ofGon- Bravo, Capt. Gregory released the vessels and sent them into port with a letter to Gen. Bravo, stating as a reason for his so do ing, that he had allowed American vessels to depart unmolested from Vera Cruz. Gen. Bra vo sent an answer to Capt. Gregory the next day, under a flag of truce. In this note, which we have seen, Gen. Bravo disclaims any title to praise forhis conduct, upon the scoro of mag nanimity, but modestly places his actions upon the broad grounds of national law, and sanctity of private property belonging to innocent pur ties. In this connection, too, we may mention that Mr. Dimond received every attention and courtesy from Gen. Bravo and thcXlollcctor of Vera Cruz, prior to his departure. It happened that on one of these vessel re leased by Capt. Gregory, there was a Colonel of tho Mexican army—a nephew of Gen. Lt t Vega. Sumo doubts aioso as to tho propriety of allowing a military prisoner to return to his country. Capt. Gregory asked him iflie was willing to give his parole. "Yes," was tho re ply. "But," said the Col., "I am a prisoner now—l was one of tiie persons uho declared for Santa Anna, and am now a prisoner sent from Tebasco to the fort of San Juan deUlua," Ho was allowed to go ashore without his pa role. The Castle of San Juan do Ulua is represent ed to be in tho highest state of prepaiation. A water battery lias been erected in connection with tho old fort, and they mount between them two hundred guns of the largest calibre.— It appears to be well understood, however, in our naval service, that the strength of the Cas tic by no moans ensures the safety of the city of Vera Crus. Recruiting for the Army was going on at Vera Cruz; but only a few men, and those of the lowest sort, were found willing to enlist.— In the City of Mexico, Government expresses arrived frequently from the Army; but as noth ing of tiieir contents wore allowed to transpire of late, the impression was that the Mexicans has met with disaster. In regard to the large English squadron upon the Pacific, Mr. Dimoud is of the opinion that those vessels had been sent out with reference to the Oregon question. He does not think it probable that they have any instructions respec ting the war with Mexico, or the seizure of Cal ifornia in consequence of the war. Touching this matter however, there is room for doubt.— I'he British licet off Western Mexico was quite large, and it the other fleets ill the Pacific join it, as was expected by some, it would be a vory formidable force. ■Mr. Dimond, previous to leaving, drew up and forwarded to the Mexican Government, a ro- monstrance against the order rcquiririii our citi zens to leave within eight days or withdraw into the interior. The sixteenth article of tho Ircaty between the United Stales and Mexico provides that, in case ol war, the citizens of each country living on the seaboard shall he entitled to six months', and those residing in the interior to 12 months' notice to leave the country. GEN. TAVLOR. The Louisville Courier, in speaking of Gen. Taylor, says: He was raised and educated in this county, and always has considered it and regards it as his home. His father, Co). Richard Taylor, was an officer in the Old Continental army, and died at his residence near this city about ten years since. He was an elector in this distiict for Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and for Henry Clay the first time he was a candidate for the Presidency. Gen. Taylor at present owns several valua ble houses and lots on Wall street, in this city. He also owns a large plantation in Mississippi, arid a smaller one in Louisiana.

When the misguided anditiiprudeitt votary of plea sure finds he hasimbfbod the t< ed i of this painfai dis ease, it too often happens that an t'l-tiin'd sense of sham. . or dread of discuvery, deters linn from apply ing to those who, front education and tespectabiiity can alor.e befriend him, delaying till t.be con-iituaonal symptoms nl this horrid disease make their appear ance, shied as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs.diumcssoi sight, deafness, nodi s on the shin bom s and nrms, hlotcr.ei on the head, taceand extremities, progressing on with I rightful rapidity,till at last the palate of'the mouth or the bone ! ofthenose fall in and the victim of this aw fji disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to his dreadful Bufferings, by sending bun to "that bourne whence no traveller re turns." To such, therefote, Dr. JOHXSTt)N pii cures himself to preserve the most inviolable secrecy; and, from his extensive practice in the first liospa&ls of Europe and America, lie can confidently recommend a safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of this Itotiid disease. it is a melancholy fact, that thousands fail victim to this horrid disease, owing to lite unskillfulness oi men, who by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruiu the constitution, and either send the unfortunate suffer to an untimely grave, or else make the residua of bis life miserable. GONORRHOEA AND GLEET CURED, by the most speedy and the most pleasant remedy known to no other physician. It requires no restraint of diet, or hindrance from business—it is mild, safe and effi ; cacious, eradicating every symptom of this affection, without causing other diseases, such as STRICTCM and AFFECTIONS OF THE Bt,ADDER and PROSTRATB GLAND, which imp/rics and quacks so olbett create their noxious drugs and filthy infections, STRICTURES—when there is a partial supprct sion of urine, accompanied with uneasiness in the parts, or a frequent desire to make water, it is called Stricture. Yet litis disease may exist, and none OT these symptoms he perceptible, or if at all, they ara so slight as to pass unnoticed; hence, we find thou sands laboring under this affection who are entirely unconscious of it—such persons become weak in the parts, seldom Aoee children, and in the later stage* of this complain; are incapable of enjoying Marriage— their systems become deranged, particularly ' the stomach, inducing symptoms of dyspepsia; also affec tions of the mind, peculiar tits ot melancholy, &c. S;c. which may end in some dreadful disease of tha nerves, and will eilher cajse a premature death or else make the rest of life miserable. To such tier sons, L)r. JOHNSTON offers the most speedy remedy that can be obtained in the United Stales. hij- Read Dr. J.'s Treaties on Veneral, etc. etc. TARE PARTICULAR NOTICE. 1 Young men wlie have injured themselves by acer | tain practice indulged in when alone—a habit tre , quemiy learned from evil companions, or at school— the effects of which are nightly felt even when asleep, and if not cured renders marriage impossible, and ae ; stroys both mind and body. I What a pity that a young man, the hope of hi* country, and the darling of his parents, should be , snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of ! life by the consequences of deviating from the path of nature and indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persons before contemplating MARRIAGE, J fhnttld reflect that a sound mid body are the most I necessary requisites to promote 'connubial happiness, : Indeed, without these, the journey through life be comes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark ens to the view—the mind becomes shadowed with despair, and filled witii the melancholy reflection, that the happiness of another becomes blighted with our ; own. uoxsrrTurioy.lL DEBILITY.

Loss of virile powr r - tie penalty mostfre.j uently paid by those who give a loose rein or license totheir passions. Young petsons are too apt to comniitex , cesses from not being aware of the dreadful effects that may ensue. Although impotency occui? from stricture, depositee in the urine, gravel, and from nu ; merous othei causes, yet the ahue of the sexual or i gaits, by excessive venery or self-pollution; particu iarly the latter is the more frequent cause of u, \ow who that understands the subject will pretend to deny | that the power of procreating the species is lost soon er by those who pracliee the solitary rice than by the prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the di gestive functions are deranged, an! liie physical and mental powers weakened by a too frequent and too , great excitement of tlie genital organs. Parents and I guaidinns are often misled, with respect to tho I causes or sources of disease in their sons and wards, j How often do they ascribe to oiher causes the wast ! ing of the frame, idiotcy, madness, palpitation of the heart, indigestion, derangement of the nervous sys j tem, cough and sytntoms, indicating consumption, : when the truth is that they have been caused by in ditlging in a pernicious, though alluring practice,"des ! tructivc to both initid and body. IN VOL UNTARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS. or Utis distressing is the common result of >he above mentiomnisecref hat it, but a very brief description for litany n asoi;s,can bdgiven here. The complaint comes on gradually. It begins by a too hasty discharge of semen in copulative and pas sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty, have nopower, while the erections are feeble, imper fect and soon over. As the disorder grows worse, the discharges or emissions become more easily ex cited and frequent, often brought on by lascivious ideas, or by merely touching the part. In this deplo rable case, the emissions take plaet without any pleasure and without erection, and hi this debilitated ami sensitive ,tate of the organs the diiefttl effects ol pollution so ruinous to health, take [ |„ C t day and night. Pale, emaciated, and weak, the unhappy vic tim of artificial gratification comnluim m pain in the head and hack, has a languid look, dimness of sight, flushing of the face when spoken to, li.wi.uss of spi rits, and a vague dread of something, often starting with terror at a sudden sight or sound. He also loaths society, from an innate sense of shame, and feels a dislike to all bodily and mental exertion. Distressed, ami his mind Axed upon his miseries, he slyly searches every source that promises relief. Ashamed lo make known hi situation to his friends, or those who by education, study,arid practical know lodge, are able lo relieve him, lie applies to the igno rant and designing, who filch him of his pecuniar substance, r.nd Instead of restoring him to heatlth, leave him lo sigh over his galling disappointment; the last scene of the drama winds up with mania, cata lepsy, epilepsy or some terrible disease of the nerves and death drops the curtain, hurrying the unhapp patient to an untimely tomb, where his friends totally ignorant of the teal cause.
