THE SENTINEL.
Cadiz, August ill, 1811.
LET THERE BE KO NEUTRALS.
In acrisig like the present, says the Harrisburgh
Democratic Union, when die desperate dema
gogue Clay, and bis allies, are seeking to fasten
their file heresies upon the government, "ni
traHty is an ignoble sentiment. We have rarely
known a man, calling himself a neutral, that was
not at heart a trimmer. Every time-server cxcu-
I I ".I .1 t 1 Ml
ses nimseu wun mis pica, tvery lover ot ins
owa ease and self-indulgence every craven
who holds back, lest there should be danger ir.
stepping forward is apt to call himself "a neu
tral? Every mau who would reserve his suf
frage that he may sell it at the highest price
every man who would conceal his sentiments un
til His ascertained which side will be triumphant
pleads "neutrality" as his excuse. Hence has
arisen the miserable confusion of two things es
sentially distinct; between entertaining or expres
sing moderate opinions at all. Thus fear, inde
cision, and a pusillanimous slothfulness are "neu
trality? Thus are there everlasting attempts
made to baptize the meanest qualities with the
tide of moderation, exalt them into its seat, and
deck them out with its garments.
If meu affect "neutrality" when essential prin
ciples or important interests ate at stake, it will
generally be that they know but little concerning
them, and care less. If the former, they are
shamefully ignorant; if the latter, inexcusably
indifferent. Or, let us suppose a third alternative
that they discover many arguments on both
sides, many difficulties and that they conceive the
balance so nicely adjusted as to poise the judg
ment on uncertainty, and render a verdict imprac
ticable. What then ? Why, in that contingency
we can only urge upon them, that they should
strive seriously and earnestly, to arrive at some
conclusion, and carry it into practice. And why;
Because, in this world, and more especially in
these trying times, we require the decision of
the practical understanding, leading to practical
Jesuits: because we require, above all things, en
ergetic action; because the bad and intemperate
must triumph, if the exertions of the wise and
good are paralyzed by vagueness of opinion, or
vacillation of purpose.
The noblest cause that can engage the atten
tion of mankind is thus susceptible of ruin. This
species of inactivity leaves the whole game to
be played out by the hot-headed and fanatical'
the fiercely violent and the daringly ambitious
the intoxicated in mind and the desperate in pur
pose while the wisest, most experienced, and
oftentimes the most interested, look on composed
ly till all is lost. Thus, how are the bad embol
dened, and the vicious encouraged ! In how ma
ny nations, and at how many periods, have the
same wretched scenes been acted. Let it form
no part of the history of the American democracy
now, lest some duellist, who has imbrued his hands
in the blood of his fellow-man, be allowed to reap
reward , instoad of punishment lest some dem
agogue, the parent of a whole litter of political
heresies, be permitted to lacerate the vitals of the
land. The democracy, in this crisis, tolerate no
voluptuaries, who wrap themselves up in their sel
fish comforts and elegant refinements no noon
day sleepers, who recline on couches and "revel
in the bosom of delight." Apathy now is o, mark
of demerit, and sloth can no longer be bound as
a crown of honor around the brow of any man
It is upon the workingmen that the democracy of
ifie country rely, to conduct them in safety
through this important emergency, and to save
their cherished principles from the descciating
band of the spoiler. Work! woke ! WORK !
is the watchword of every devoted democrat.
OKOArVISSEAGITATEWORJt.
Never have the Democracy had a more glori
our prospect before them than at the present
time. Whether wo look at the East or the West, !
the North or the South at all points and in any
part of the Union we witness the same harmony
of feeling (says the New England Democrat,)
the same cnthusi asm, the same joyful anticapa
tion of a full democratic triumph in the Presiden
tial contest,
Now, we want to tell all our friends, we would
ring it in the ear of every democrat in tho Union
that although our party is united and although
the very best feeling does prevail, yet SUCCESS
WILL DEPEND UPON EXERTION. The
democratic party must be fully organized. Our
own principles and measures and the doctrines
and projects of our opponents must be agitated
WE MUST WORK IF WE WOULD WIN
The triumph cannot be won without labor. Ev
ery democrat should constitute himself a rallying
committee a committee to get up associations
and public meetings a committee to circulate
' democratic truths among his neighbors and towns
men. We say to every democrat, ORGANIZE
--AGITATE WORK.

"Small Potato and few in a HILL.
The last number of the organ of Brotlterson,
Stewart &, Co., ihe whig merchants who carry
politics into private life, and who got up a Con
spiracy in town to break down the Sentinel Es
tablishment, contains most "forcible feeble"
communication from one of their understrappers
and bull-dogs, "L. Hill," two columns long.
The leading conspiiators must not expect us to
notice the foul-mouthed blackguards they hire to
attack us through the Stygian columns of their
putrid sheet. We can have no controversy with
such small game. We suppose a toby cigar
flora each of the leading conspirators, purchased
the services of the sneaking, loafing, scurvy, sca
ly, hang-dog countenanced, London fish-market
miscreant, the Botany Bay Tory subject of
Queen Victoria. The creature talk, as savage
as a meat axe and the leading conspirators,
no doubt, think that he has cut us into
sausage meat! We suppose Biotherson and
Stewart made him believe that his reputation
was at steak, and hence he addressed to us two
columns of tender Hues, to. convince the public
that he is both a liar and a blackguard. The
whining British Tory says he never stopped the j
Sentinel. We wonder ho was not afraid of
heaven's lightning striking him dead with that
lie on his lips! Our carrier says, (and he is an
honest boy, whose word we would take sooner
than Littleton's oath,) that Mrs. Hill told him
that she had ovdeis from her husband to have
the Sentinel s'.opped that Mr. 11:11 wouldn't
aive it house room that he would kick it out of
his house, if it was left there any longer. And
hero is a certificate from a young man, who
works for our friend Win. Fry, which fully cor
roborates the statement of our carrier:
I hereby certify that I heard a daughter of
Littleton Hill, tell, in Mr. Wm. Fry's, that her
father intended to discontinue the Cadiz Senti
nel, immediately afier he came from the Steti-
benville Convention; and further, I do certiiy
that I hoard Mr. Hill's wife tell the carrier of the
Cadiz Sentinel not to leave that filthy sheet any
longer at their house, that Mr. Hill wouldn't give
it house room that he didn't want it anv longer.
ROBERT P. ROBiSON.
This scape-gallows Hill, we understand, was
educated for the Ministry, but having a natural
fondness forscoundrelism, he preferred engaging
in the work of the Devil. As he appears to have
a knowledge of the Latin language, lie can tell
the meaning of th;s legal maxim "quifacit per
alium, facit per se" what a man does by auoth
er he does by himself. If Hill ordered his wife
lo stop the Sentinel, it is the same in law, as if
ho had ordered it stopped himself.
The scamp whines like a whipped dog, when
he finds his Democratic customers leaving him
that is to be expected. He says that the De
mocratic party disapprove of our course that is
a lie lor every Democrat, both in lown and
country, with whom we have convcised, ap
plauds the manner in which we have handled
the conspirators, and are coming up to our help
;e brothers. As the whigs commenced the
business of proscription, they will carry it out, as
the conspirators know to their sorrow alreadv.
Nailed to the Counter.
The federal papers immediately after the nom
ination of Mr. Polk, started a report that his grand
tather was a tory in the days of the revolution.
This slander has been frequently contradicted,
but it is still harped upon by the federal sheets
The following letter, should, we think, be suffi
cient to convince every man of ordinary honesty
that the calumny has not the slightest foundation
in liulh:
TuSCUMBIA, Ala., July 24, 18-14.
To the Editor of the Franklin Democrat.
uennemen: vvnercas, mere is a tale coins
the rounds of the whig papers, asserting that the
grandfather of the Hou. James K. Polk, was a
tory; now, this is to certify that I was intimately
acquainted with EzekielPolk, the grandfather of:
James K. Polk, during the revolutionary war,
and that neither him nor any of his relations ever
had a drop of tory blood in their veins; but on
the contrary, Ezekiel Polk was appointed to, and
held the office of Colonel of the Militia, vacated
by the promotion of Thomas Polk to the office
ot'Brigadier General. Any one who says or pub
lishes that Ezekiel Polk was a tory, says or pub
lishes Mat whicn is utterly talse.
SOLOMON REESE.
The Press.
During the session of the Nova Scotia Legis
lature, one day was spent in debating upon the
liberty of the press. In the course of the debate
Mr. Howe mado the following remarks, which
we recommend to the serious consideration of
tho bullies of the whig party in town, who are
attempting to silence us by violence:
"I rather think, the remark of the honorable
member for Yarmouth the other day was a very
true one that there were only three privileged
classes in the Stalo tho conductors of tho Press
members of tho House, and Lawyers; for all
these can say pretty much what thev please.
But let not members bo too hypocritical with re
spect to the i'reus. 1 he same wind which lash
es tho ocean in fury, and engulfs some frail bark
in its waters, also wafts thousands to our shores
freighted with the rich production of earth's fair
est regions the sun which rudely scorches tho
lady g check, brings forth the flowers and fruits
of the earth, and makes the heart of man rejoice
wun me luxurious bounty ot nature that teems
on every side around him. I believe what our
old Speaker (the present Master of the Rolls)
used to say is true enough: that you mikln
just as well touch a hedgehog as a printer, and
mat tnoso who do not let the press alone ;ener
ally get the worst of, it."

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
ANOTHER ELECTIONEERING TALE
KNOCKED INTO KLNGDOM-COME
DISTRESSED AND WOFUL STATE OF
COONERY!
The following note from Hon. Thomas L. IL-
meb, nips in the bud an attempt of the federal
press to justify Clay s gambling propensities by
getting the idea abroad that Polk, too, is a card
player.
Far the Cincinnati Enquirer,
Messrs Editors:
Some weeks since I was requested to deliver
an address to the democracy of Adams county,
Oh'o; and in the course of my remarks, in an
swer to enquiries whether 1 knew Governor
Polk personally, I said, that I had frequently re
plied to that question, by saying 1 knew him well,
hardly knew any body else, that I had slept
with him and played cards with hiin! The ob
servation was made like a thousand others of a
jocular character in stump speaking: merely
to raise a laugh! It was so understood by all
who heard it. At that timo a controversy was
going on in the newspapers whether Mr. Clay
did or did not play cards, at present.- -It was
made in the midst of my old friends and former
constituents, scores of whom know that 1 had not
played cards, with any body for twenty years.
And in the same speech I said, what is literally
true, that Gov. Polk was a man of pure moral
character: addicted to no vices, of eminent
ability, an able debater, and as sound a demo
crat ns ever lived.
The editor of the West Union Intelligencer,
(a whig paper, was present, when this speech
was delivered, and I have no doubt understood
me, just ns my political friends did, in reference
to Gov. Polk's playing cards, a thing 1 never
knew him to do in my life. But the editor per
haps felt a lille unkind towards me, on account
of some remarks I made about him, bis paper
and his party; and by way of rotalialion, took
up my jocular remains, ana gravely prnvea
in his next number, bv way of an accusation
asaiust our candidate. Whiss must be hard
run for charges, when they resort to such piti
ful expedients. It is from this publication, that
the Cincinnati Gazette and other papers have
chosen to repeat the charge, and give me as au
thority. I wish von to givo this line an insertion in
your paper, that the calumny may find its rcfu
tation; and will only add, that one of the strong
est inducements 1 have, for zealously and ardent
ly supporting Gov. Polk, is, that duriug in inti
mate acquaintance of six years with him, I be
come thoroughly satisfied, that his chiracter,
both public and private, was not only without a
slain, but above suspicion.
Yourob't servant,

More Mormon Troubles.
Gov. Ford, of Illinois, has issued a proclama
tion addressed particularly to the people of War
saw, in which he says:
" I am continually informed of your prepay
tions and threats to renew the war, and exter
minate the Mormons. One would suppose that
you ought to rest satisfied with what you have
already done. The Mormon leaders, if they
ever resisted tho law, have submitted to its au
thority. They have surrendered tho public arms,
and appear lo be roady to do anything required
to make atonemont for whatever wrong may
' have been done. Since the assassination of
j their two principal leaders, under circumstances
well calculated to inflame tlioir passion, and
drive them to excesses for tne purpose of re
venge, they have been entirely peaceful and sub
missive; and have patiently awaited the slow op
eration of the laws to redress the wrongs of
which they have complaiued."
TuAN'K YOU, GENTLEMEN T1IANK YOU. We
have received several letters from old and sub
stantial democrats in various parts of the country
in which they give expression to the honest indig-
natiou and disgust, with which they view the con
spiracy of Brothcrson and his colleagues to break
down the Sentinel. Even the Domocratic ladies
in tho country (God bless them, and may they
never be troubled with coon husbands) are inter
esting themselves in our behalf. As Davy Crock
et used to say, we are now sure that we are right,
and will go ahead!

Ant "Sparkling mid Bright."
Brilliant and bright, in the freemen's fight.
For Liberty contending s
Our cauee o true we'll thus pursae.
Unflinching and unbending;
Till we hail the day, when Harry Clay,
Our Polk and Dallas meeting,
Shall quick return to hit Ashland bourne,
From democrats retreating.
At poker and brag, when hit elbows wag,
lie boiistt he can whip the nation;
Still we'll give him a Polk, were he stout as an oak,
To crack his old Clay foundation.
He'll ache all o'er, his bones so sore,
As tho' he bad taken pizen ;
For salt can't save, the political grave.
Of the mill-boy, and Frelinghuysen.
On pillar and crag, see the coonskin flag,
In tattered glory streaming,
While round its base, with mournful face,
Old Coons are madly acrenming.
And chief of the clan, old gloomy Dan,
The mighty Marshfield snorter,
Despising the rigs of the cider whigs.
Goes the death ou the brandy and water.
There's poor Filmore, whom Theodore
Has thrust aside so qucerly.
Refuses to share the Governor's Chair,
And why, appears too clearly j
For they're all used up, from coon to pup,
And Clay may rest contented ;
For he's "nici cum arous" at the old White House
To the whigs it will not be rented.
They may sing and dance, but they've no chance,
Agatusi our rum unu uuuuh.
For very soon, their "same old coon,"
We'll Hwing on a hicKory gallows;
He'll mourn and wail, and twist his tail,
His fate he'll soon diskiver.
For this corn-stealing thief will be gnashing his teeth,
On the banks of the Saline river.
And when he's skinned, and has slipped his wind,
To make him rot the faster.
We'll bear him away to the Temple of Clay,
W rapped round with a whig Bhinplastcr ;
And on his tomb you'll read his doom,
A sad and (earful warning,
His neck got noosed while robbing a roost
One bright November morning.
Then fling on high, to the bright blue sky,
Our proud una spotless banner,
Our ship all right we hail the fight,
With brave boys we will man her.
With Captain Polk, and hearts of oak.
We'll make the tories craven ;
And Dallas, too, with his noble crew,
Will reuch the destined haven.
Three cheers, hurra! let it sound afar,
Three cheers ! Our next election
Will send old Clay where he ought to stay,
On his faim, to plot deception!
Then three times three, for Tennessee,
And three times three for Dallas,
Under stripes and stars we wage our wars,
Of the rights of Ireedom jealous.

Fikst Brigade of the North,
Head Quarters,
The delay fixed by the Supreme Govern
ment in the armistice concluded the 15th Feb
ruary of the present year with the Commission
ers of Texas having expired, his Excellency the
Piesident has called to mind, that from the 11th
of the present month hostilities are re-opeueel
against the inhabitants of this department, and 1
communicate to you Ihe declaration o. his Ex
cellency. I also make known to you that my
government has seen with well founded indig
nation the perlidies ol the inhabitants ol the
said Territory towards a Republic, whose gene
rous conduct toward them they misunderstood,
in relation to a question m which they were
thought to be acting with good faith. They
have abused the confidence o! the Republic
by violating the conditions of the armistice re
specting the commissioners, who, according to
the 4th article of said armistice, should have re
paired to the city of Mexico, in order to regu
late our differences so far as might be admissi
ble. His Excellency the Piesident, convinced
that tho honor and dignity of the nation require
the chastisement of a conduct so little credita
ble, lias ordered mo to apprise you of his reso
lution, so that it may be well understood that it
is not through timidity or want ol power, but be
cause his excellency has always listened to the
voice of humanity, that hostilities were not com
menced at the period fixed by the armistice.
Notwithstanding tny regret in thinking that
blood is once more about to flow, yet, in tran
smitting to you the declaration of the President
I enjoy the satisfaction to find that justice is on
the side of our cause, which reposes on sacred
and imprescriptable rights. In this we place
our confidence as well as in tho valor of our
troops. When the strgggle shall once more be
gin, the civilized world will judge between us,
and the fortune of war cannot but be favorable to
those who fight for their country against usurp
ers.
I have the honor to renew to you assurances
of my high consideration.

Assumption of State debts a whig mea
sure. , The Baltimore Republican says:-We learn
that at the whig meeting which was held at Sar
atoga Springs on Thursday last, one of the speak
ers, Mr. Steele of Maryland, came out flat-footed
for on assumption of Slate Debts. He is said to
have been indirectly sustained in this monstrous
proposil ion by Francis Granger.
Native Americanism proof of its I
origin.' I
We have hitherto expressed our belief that na
tive Americanism was the oflspring of old feder
alism, and that the whig party cherished it with
all the love which their fathers bore for it. For
this honest expression we have been denounced as
a liar. We ground our assertion upon the lollow-
n g testimony:
1 he alien laws or the elder Adams;
The resolution of the Hartford convention;
The petitions presented by John Q. Adams,
praying that the time before which man shout d
be naturalized might be extended to twenty-one
years;
The declaration of Mr. Archer,a whig senator
from Virginia, that he would make every enorl
to secure the passage of such a law;
The charge of Horace ureely, made in April
last, that the fact of tho whirs supporting the na
tive American ticket would reuder the deteat ol
the whig ticket certain.
We made the charge because
James Watson Webb said that Horace Gree
ley himself had voted the Native American tick
et; Because William L. Stone, another whig editor
of New York, was a candidate for omce ou tne
native ticket:
Because Mr. Clay endeavored to deprive for
eigners of pre-emption rights;
Because Colonel Jack, Levin, and others, who
addressed the native meeting in Philadelphia
previous to tho outbreaks which drenched the
streets of that city in the blood of her citizens.
are personally known to ourself as whigs. Jack
having been twice before the whig party of his
district as a candidate Jor a congressional nomi
nation:
Because 16,000 whigs in the cityoi a. x. vo
ted the native ticket;
Because a whig member of Congress (Mr.
Wethcred. of Maryland insulted Mr. Owen o
Indiana, and told him he had nobusiness lo speak
on tho tariff question, because ho was but a natu
ralized citizen;
Because theie is not one democratic statesman
who has not expressed his utter abhorrence of
their measures;
Upon this testimony, for the truth of all which
wo pledge our honor, and tho most of which our
opponents dare notdcny,wegiound our charge.
It is true; and if our statements be correct, what
shall be thought of those who so wilfully persist
n falsehood and so maliciously slander those who
are bold enough to speak the truth I We chal
lenge those who have branded us as a liar, to read
the evidence we havo cited betore tueir ciud.
Let them read the Hartford convention resolution,
the alien law of the elder Adams, and compare
them with the projects of the native Americans.
Let them inquire what connection their leaders
have with these movements, and we ask nothing
more to convict them of the very crime they have
charged upon us.
And we do most distinctly and emphatically
charge this Native Americanism upon them.
lo them it belongs, and upon the heads ot the
whig leaders, in New York and Philadelphia,
must rest the awlul consequences which have
marked its inhuman progress. Hardin Co. (Ky.)

Law and order Pany.
Air. Clav, in his "great speech" at Raleigh, as
sumes for the whig parly a pre-eminent devotion
to law and order. The Baltimore Republican
tests tho correctness of this pretension by
briefly recanitulating soma facts ou record. In
the Tippecanoe campaign they desocruteu tne
Lord's day by violent party harangues; declaring
through Webster, there "were no bubbalhs in
revolutionary tunes. J hev endeavored to or-
jaiiize an armed body ol men to march to wash
1 Tf
ington to drive "Old Hickory" from the presiden
tial chair, and some of them met in that city, at
Scott's long room, for that purpose. They tried
to get up a ten-cent revolution in New York and
Boston, because President Van Buren would not,
n defiance of law, receive for postage the notes
of non-specie paying banks. In Pennsylvania
they resolved to "treat the election lor governor
as if it had not occurred," and at the point of the
bayonet attempted traitorously to maintain Rit-
ncr m the executive chair, when rorler had re
ceived a large majority of the votes of the people:.
In New Jersey, violating all legal authority, Gov
ernor Pennington outrageously defied the voice
of the people in the election for Congressmen,
and with usurpation and infamy unparalleled in
tins country, gave to the minority candidates cer
tificates of election, with the "broad seal" of the
State attached thereto, to cover as broad h fraud
as ever disgraced any nation.
At a dinner in Nashville, in August, du
ring the convention, Mr. Crittenden, the bosom
friend of Mr. Clav, gave as a toast: "The ballot-
box and the cartridrje-box." Mr. Preston, of
South Carolina, another devoted adhcreut of Mr.
Clay, during the same campaign said: "If Mr.
Van Buren cannot be displaced through tho bal
lot-box in November next, 1, for ono, am ready
to resort to such means as God and nature have
put within my reach to force a change." 1 his
treasonable declaration was received with shouts
of applause by the whigs of Richmond, before
whom it was delivered, mr. uraves, wno Duicn
ered Cilley, used tho following language during
the same campaign: "If it were not for the hope
of redress, the hope of a change through the bal
lot-box. I would heie, so held me Uod! upon
this holy altar! take an oath this night to take up
arms, and march with you to Washington and put
down the present dynasty by force."
John Bell, Mr. (Jlav s prime minister in icn-
uessee, exlribited his deep devotion to law and
order in the following sentiment: "The appeal
is now to reason. "No ieelings but Ihose ot pat
riotism, love of justice, and equal rights, need be
invoked as yet ; though the day may come, when
a sense of injury and oppression of indignation
for a country's institutions dishonored and over
thrown, may call forth deeper passions and awake
different energies. That time, I hope, may not
come; but if it should I shall be ready to do my
duty then as well as now.
In addition to the sayings and doings of these
lesser lights, reference might be made to 6omc
striking passages in the career of the "Great Em
bodiment" himself, strangely at variance with
his assumption for his party of being the pecu
liar friends of law and order, but, as these might
be considered rather personal, we forbear.
Tub Demochatic spirit. Tho spirit of 1832
is up. We are in the daily receipt of exchange
papers from every State in the Union, and the
time never was, and we doubt if it ever will be
aaain, when they displayed so much spirit and
such cood feelins and determination. To a man
thev are united, and united they will conquer.
All local feeling isbanished, and they go into the
coming content hand in hand. Every man who
has ever sustained republican principles, has now
put his shoulder to the car of democracy, and
many and many who have never before acted
with the republican party, are now in the lore
most ranks of democracy, determined to retrieve
themselves and be useful to their country. De-

Tli Atllnwine we have rlwJ from Messrs. Jos-
hn &. Kowc, Druggists, in XNewarK, in mis
whom it was communicated by John Wimer, Esq., a
citizen of Hurlington, Licking county, Ohio.
Burlington, Licking Co., O., Dec. 1, 1843.
Messrs. Joslin &Jtowe: At your request I herewith,
transmit to you a statement of the case ol Mrs. Wimer
and child, us near ns I am able to communicate, which,
you are at liberty to publish if you see fit, ns I feel a
uesire to nitorm tne worm oi me enecis oi me invalu
able medicine called Wistar's Balsam ot Wild Cherry,
to which, hy the divine blessing, I am indebted lor the
restoration to health of my wile and child.
About live years ago Mrs. Wimer was attacked
with a vio!nl cough, puin in the chest and side, and
symptoms of approaching consumption. During the
intervals fran that time to sometime in Feb. last, she
had been tuated by eminent Physicians from Utica,
Sylvania, Ilomcr, Chatham, and Newark, and with
only partial relief of the most urgent symptoms. A.
bout one yetr ago she caught a violent cold, which
seated upon the Lungs, producing nn alarming aggra
vation of ah her previous symptoms. Her Physician
was sent fcr, and despite his best efforts, she began
rapidly to sink under her disease. Cough, Expectora
tion, Hectic, togetner wiui mgni sweats, oohu rtnuu-uu
her to a conplete skeleton. In Feb. last, her attend
ing Physician, deemed her casse altogether hopeless, a
council wns called and after deliberating upon her
case, unanimously pronounced her to be neyona tno
reach of means, and expressed their opinion that she
could survive but a short time, one or two weeks at far
thest. She was at this time entirely confined to her
bed, and scarcely able to articulate, except in a whis
per. Her daily paroxysms of coughing would last her
interruptedly from three to five hours, and so severe
were they, that we did expect that every paroxysm
would be tlie last. The Physicians in council, pro
nounced her Lungs, Liver, "Kidney b. Spine, snd Mu
cus, Membrane of the Stomach to be incurably dis
eased. It was at this Jast extremity that we happened
to obtain a pamphlet describing Dr. Wistar's Balsam o
Wild Cherry, ns applicable to Lung affections. We
immediately sent to you and procured a bottle, and
commenced" its use at overling by giving her one tea
spoonful, and such was the surprising effect, that she
was able topass a comfortable night's rest, without ex
periencing any paroxysm of coughing, and such was
Its ultimate effect, that afier talcing 5 bottles she was,
contrary to the expectations other physicians, and eve
ry one who saw her, entirely restored to health ; and
since last rammer has done thp entire work oi lier fam
ily. After the last attack of Mrs. Wimer, our young
est child, then an infant at the breast, was taken down
and rapidly sinking, with the same symptoms as its
mother, and seeing the happy effect of the Balsam in
the case of the mother, we were disposed to moke trial
of it for the child, audit was attended with the same
perfect success.
The above statement can be attested by our physi
cian ns well as our neighbors and acquaintances, who
saw Mrs. Wimer during the course of her sickness.
Very truly, yours, ic.
JOHN WIMER.

The case of Thomas Cozens is related by himself as
follows, and acknowledged by all who know him as
one of the most astonishing cures ever porformed.
Haddonfield,N. J., April 20, 1843.
On or about the 13th day of Dec. 1841, I wastaken
with a violent puin in the side near the Liver which con
tinued for about five days, and was followed by the
breaking of an ulcer, or something inwardly, which
relieved the pain a little, but caused nie to throw up a
great quantity of offensive matterantl also much blood.
lleing greatly aiarmeu ni mis. i appjieu 10 a. puyauaan,
but he Baid tie thought he could do but little for me ex
cept give me some Mercury Pills, which I refused to
take, feeling satisfied they could do me no good; many
other remedies were then procured by my wife and
friends, and none did me any good, and the discharge
of blood and corruption still continued every few days,
and at last became so offensive I could scarcely breathe.
I was also seized with a violent cough, which at times
caused me to raise much more blood than I had done
before, and my disease continued in this way, still grow
ing worse until Feb. wben nil hope of my recovery was
given up, and ray friends all thought I would dia with
a galloping consumption. At this moment, when my
lite was apparently drawing near at a close, I heard of
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and got a bottle,
which relieved me immediately, and by the use of only
throe bottles of this medicine, all my pains were remo
ved, my cough and spitting of blood und corruption en
tirely stopped, and in a few weeks my health was so
far restored as to enable me to work at my trade,
( which is a Carpenter) and up to this time I have enjoy
ed good health.
Witness. I am acquainted with Mr. I homas Co
zens, and having seen him during his illness, I think
the above statement entitled to lull credit.

WE ARE NOT IN THE HABIT of euloging any
thing in the form of "Patent Medioine," for we have
long been of the opinion that nothing but a worthless
nostrum needs the imposing name of "Patent" to bring
it Into notice. Hence our hostility has been strong and
uncompromising agninst every thing In the line. But'
at length our prejudices have been forced to yield to the
immense amount of testimony in favor of "Dr. Wistar'i
Balsam of Wild Cherry." Judging from' what we have
seen and heard of its effects, we pronounce it the most
fortunate combination of medical agents ever discovered
for the cure of Consumption ; and Indeed, it appears to
b psrfoctly master of ali pulmonary complaints. We
advise the publio to make an immediate and fair trial
of it, and they will then praise it more warmly than we
have done. See advertisement,
