UALE OF PATENT-RIGHTS FOR THE ^ use of Seely's Patent Lime and Cement Kiln.?The practicability and utility of the sbove invention, for the speedy and economical manu facture ol" the best and purest lime and cement, having been fully demouMrated by the working of the kiln, erected by the undersigned, upon his patent, in the city of Washington, he now offers to the public generally an opportunity to purchase ibe patent-rights for the several States of the t'liiou. Rights for counties will he sold separate ly if desired. The kiln is capable of burning more lime than any three kilns in the country combined. The average product of the one built in Washing, ton is one hundred and ninety bnrrels of lune per day. with a consumption of only live cords of wood as fuel. A Cement kiln, built upon this principle, will burn between two hundred and fifty and two hundred and ninety barrels of cement per day. For the manufacture of lime it is capable of cal cining either of the various kinds of limestone or r yster shells. Persons desiring to purchese rights may confer with Mr. Samuel L. Harris, Washington, D. C., or address him to box b5Q of the post office in said ojty, he being fully authorized, bv me, to act as my ugent in said matter. SAMUEL J. SEELY. Washiwotosi, D.

OPINIONS OP .ATTORNEYS CENEK al of the United States.?The undersigned having just published an octavo edition of the official decisions of the Attorneys General of the United States, expounding the Constitution, sub sisting Treaties with foreign nations, and the In dian tribes, and giving construction to the public j laws of the country, in fivo volumes, averaging 750 pages each, comprising all the decisions of j that character made sine* the adoption of the j federal constitution, and prior to the 4th day of July, lbM, and to be continued up to the present time, with synoptical notes and copious indices, he respectfully announces his readiness to answer orders for the work, and to forward the same by express, or otherwise, to any part of the United States. Being the productions of distinguished jurists and civilians, fully authorized to decide the vari ous questions of civil, common, international, constitutional, commercial, and municipal law, which have arisen in the course of the adminis tration of the government, and bearing, as they do, upon nearly every subject of civil polity and jurisdiction, it necessarily follows that they are scarcely inferior in importance to the Constitution which they defend, and the laws which they ex plain. They not only set forth the political econo my and fundamental principles of tne federal gov ernment, and the rules and regulations enforced in its administration, but they also define the powers and duties and, in many instances, the compensation of us civil and military officers. The subjects of national sovereignty, neutrality, extradition, Sec., are therein thoroughly discussed, and our revenue laws, land laws, patent laws, pension laws, ire., commented upon and ex plained. It is, therefore, believed that public ministers, consuls, governors of States, district attorneys, marshals, collectors of customs sur veyors of ports, naval officers, receivers of public moneys, registers of land offices, Indian agents, officers of the army and navy, and, indeed, all public men will find these volumes a valuable ac quisition to their libraries. The editions put up in the style of Howard's Reports of Decisions of the Supreme Court, and ?old at the moderate price of three dollars per volume. Librarians of States and pubiio institutions are reminded that they may conveniently obtain the work, through their representatives m Congress, if the latter are immediately addressed upon the subject.

Sep 2-1?3mcod (m) Henry?b isvic.okating cordial, Purely Vegetable in its composition.?This invaluable Cordial is extracted from Herbs and Rrrts. which have been found after years of ex perience, by the most skillful physicians, to be possessed of qualities the most beneficial in the diseases for which it is recommended; and hence, whilst it is presented to the public as an cllica cious remedy, it is also known to be of that char acter on which reliance may be placed ns to its safety. In cases of Impotency, Haemorrhages, Disordered Sterility, Menstruation,or Snpprevtiou of the Menses, Fluor Albus or Whites, or for Debility arising from any cause, such as weakness from sickness, where the patient has been confined to bed for some time, for females after confinement, abortion or miscarriage, this cordial cannot be excelled in its salutary effects: or in loss of muscular energy, irritability, physical prostration, seminal weakness, palpitation of the heart, indigestion, sluggishness, decay ol the pro creative functions, nervousness. &cc., where a tonic medicine is required, it will be found equal if not superior to any compound ever used. To Females.?Henry's Invigorating Cordial is one of the most invaluable medicines in the many complaints td" which females are subject. It as sists nature to brace the whole system, check ex cesses, and creates renewed health and happiness. Less suffering, disease, and unhappiness among ladies would exist, were they generally to adopt the use of this cordial. Ladies who are debilitated by those obstructions which.females are liable to, are restored by the use of a bottle or two to bloom and to vigor. Young Men.?That solitary practice, so fatal to the existence of man, and it is the young who are most apt to become its victims, from an ignorance of the danger to which they subject themselves, causes Nervous Debility, weakness of the system, and premature decay. Many ol you may now be suffering, misled as to the cause or source of dis ease. To those, then, who by e xcess have brought on themselves premature impotency, involuntary seminal emissions, weakness and shrivelling ot the gehital organs, nervous affection, or any other couse .uences of unrestricted Indulgence of the sensual passions, occasioning the necessity of re nouncing the felicities of Marriage, lessening both mental and bodily ca pacity, hold! Henry's Invigorating Cordial, a medi- i cine that is purely vegetable, will aid nature to re store those important functions to a healthy state, and will prevc of service to you. It possesses rare virtues, is a general remover of disease, and strengthener of the system. As a Tonic Medicine, it is unsurpassed. We do not place this cordial on a footing with quack medicines, and, as is customary, append a long list of recommendations, certificates, Arc., begin ning with " Hear what the Preacher says," and such like; it is not necessary, for "Henry's Invig orating Cordial" only ne-.ds a trial to prove that it will accomplish all we say. The Genuine ??Henry's Invigorating Cor- I dial? is put up in eight oz. pnnnei bottles, and is j easily recognised by the manufacturer's signature on the label of each bottle, (to counterfeit which is forgery.) ^?$j,Sold for $2 per bottle; six for $8; $16 per dozen.

N. MAIL. CONTRACTORS | AND THE PUBLIC. Auditor's Office, Post Office Department, November 1, 1S53. | IT HAS BEEN LONG THE PRACTICE of this office to pay the drafts drawn and nego tiated by contractors for carrying the United States mails, for the amounts, respectively,ol their quarterly pay. It was established to accommo date the contractors, and meet their necessities, in advance of the regular and slewer process of pay ing by the drafts or warrants of the department, and was intended only to apply to one draft per route from each contractor for the whole, amount, (deducting fines, collections, tic...) of hi* quarterly pay; but it has been, and is quite generally so misunderstood, as to be supposed to allow any number of drafts, and for any amount, not exceerf ingin the aggregate, the contract pay for the quar ter. A privilege conceded for accommodation (for it was never anything more) has thus been made to embarrass materially the business of this office, forced upon it the settlement of the privat* ac counts of contractors, and thrown upon the ex changes ot the country, with a quasi sanction ot this otiice, a species of paper currency unauthor ized by the laws. It not unfrequently occurs, too, that this ofiice is exposed to great and unnecessary risk in deter mining upon the genuineness of the signatures to the assignments or endorsements of the various persons through whose hands these drafts are made to pass before their presentation. It is therefore deemed proper to give this public notice to contractors, and all concerned, that from and after the 1st day of January, 1854, but ,one draft for the pay upon each route per quarter will be payed, or filed for payment, in this office. This draft should state upon its face, that it it the only one for the quarter and the route (both to be speci fied) on which it is drawn: and the signature there to should be atte\ted by the -postmaster at the place tehere it may be drawn, and one other witness; and each assignment thereof should be attested by two witnesses.

THE undersigned propose, on the first day of January next, at Raleigh, North Carolina, to begin the publication of the North Carolina State* man, a semi-weekly and weekly paper, devoted to politics, news, and miscellaneous subjects, and respectfully solicit for it a share of the patronage of the democratic party, their friends, and the public. Invited by many leading persons of the Stale rights republican party to propagnte and defend principles which we have always held, and regard as the only basis of prosperity in our form ef gov ernment, and inspired with a sincere desire to serve that party and advance its interests, we pro pose to issue a paper at the seat of the State gov ernment. In the field of editorial enterprise, there is ample room for those who are now holding po sition, as well as for others, who choose to cuter into fair competition. The propagation of the principles of our pnrty is a duty at once import ant, and to us peculiarly agreeable. The attrac tions of the editorial profession and its honorable toils, together with a desire to extend its influence, has had much weight in the decision which we have made?a profession at once dignified and elevated, where the highest intellectual gifts may find full employment, and the purest patriotism make contribution to the public weal. We are persuaded that a journal, conducted with fairness and discretion?uninfluenced by selfishness and devoted to principle, may secure sufficient patron age, without interfering with the claims or rights of any now prosecuting the same great work. Although mainly devoted to the discussion of such political questions, as they arise, which affect the welfare of North Carolina, whether relating to the federal or State governments, or such local in terests as maybe of importance, it is nevertheless intended to make the Statesman a medium of ge neral intelligence. Accordingly, the statu of the markets in the principal cities, to which eur com merce goes, shall be fully andaccuratcly reported; nor will the attention of the condactors be less ad dressed to the subject of internal improvements, as a moans indispensable to the development of the mineral and agricultural resources of the State. These interests, of primary importance, shall al ways command their fulfest attention. To this they propose to add carefully selected and original literary matter. Boing strictly conservative, they propose to avail themselves of all th* lights of ex perience, in, that progress, which promises the ad vancement'of the interests of North Carolina. The general objects of the proposed paper being thus clearly indicated, if may not be amiss briefly to state the particular views which are to be sus tained by it as a political journal. 1st. Our purpose being to publish a paper purely de mocratic, according to the straightest requirements of that party, we shall advocate strict party organi zation in its fullest and most comprehensive sense; an organization which originates in the popular will, expressed by the people in their primary as semblies, and which has been so successfully in troduced among the democracy of many of the (s>ther States, by which the rank and file of the party are, in fact, those who indicate its decisions, and, being all brought into action, express their will imperatively; thus, by open aud fair dealing, commanding respect and obedience; an organiza tion of the people, and not of intriguers; restoring power to those wh?, by sufferance, have toleruted its temporary usurpation. 2d. The democratic party shall always find in us advocates of their right to select their standard bearers, and to command acquiescence in decisions made by convcntionsfairly elected in their primary meetings. Standing upon the geod sld State eights platform of'Sft, we shall oppose government corporations created by Congress for tbe purpose of internal improvement, the regulation of finance, or any other measure inconsistent with the rights of the States. 3d. Believing that the platform adopted by the late Baltimore convention contains the democratic creed, they expect cordially to sustain the present administration, trusting that the policy adopted by those who compose it will be regulated by the cardinal doctrines of the American democracy. 4th. They will advocate all such measures of in ternal improvement as promise by judicious prose cution to promote the interests of the people and diffuse the benefits of a system already enjoyed by portions of the Stale. .0th. The disposition of the public lands belig i question of the most absorbing interest, we be lieve it should be at once met and settled. Tbe unjust and unequal legislation of Congress, in re lation to those lands, and the large and frequent :?ppropriations made to the new States, indicate a final departure from the old and wise policy of ap propriating the proceeds of their sales to the pay ment of the public debt, and the expenses ot the government. It has for some time ceased to be either a subject of hope or expectation that there will ever be a return to a policy which had so much to recommend it. Believing that this sys tem of squandering and prodigality is not only to continue but to grow worse, we shall protest against it, and assert the right of the old Slates to their equitable share of the lands which remain. The power "to dispose of the public lands being explicitly declared in the Constitution, the exer cise of that power is a question of policy, both as to the time and tbe mode." Believing, as we do, that it has become the settled policy of Congress to squander the public lands, we adopt the patri otic language ot Mr. Dobbin, and say that "all of North Carolina's sons, both whig* and demo crats, should protest, and demand North Caro lina's share of the publie domain. 6th.
