\ VIEW OF THINGS AS THEY ARE.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette.
All who take an interest in the politics of their
country, cannot but be aware that Mr. Van Bu
ren is to be the Government candidate for the
Presidency of the United States, or, in other
words, the successor of the present Chief Magis
trate, if it be possible tor nim to De promoted to
that exalted station by the unwearied efforts and
party discipline of the office-holders and all
those who, disregarding what they believe con
scientiously to be the welfare of their country,
pay sycophantic devotion to the success of a
particular individual, because, perchance, they
may be rewarded for their exertions in the suc
cess of a mere personal cause. And that they
will strain every nerve, and call heaven and
earth to witness that, in their ardor, they are
actuated by the purest of motives, by the most
devoted attachment to their country, he must be
a tyro who cannot see. And, too, he must be
but little acquainted with the tricks ot party uni
ted with partisan zeal, who, for a moment, can
believe that there are but few' who will be operat
ed on by the ceaseless exertions of party lead
ers, having before them—indeed, as they sup
pose, almost in their grasp—the reward of suc
cess, associated with all the pleasing reflections
of perpetuation in power, and on the other hand
defeat, and the dread that they may be visited
with wrath for their improper interference in the
freedom of elections. With this view of the
subject, is it to be wondered at that the party
whip of the pow’ers that be should crack loud, or
that the changes should be often rung upon the
ear?—that the party drill should be improved, or
the Shibboleth be more severely enforced?
We all know the true state of the case in re
gard to the office-holders and those who seek to
perpetuate their present power, united w'ith the
Jackson Experiment,.by the election of Mr. Van
Buren to the Presidential office. That there are
some exceptions,—aye, honorable exceptions,
who are actuated by high motives,—I cannot be
so jaundiced in my opinions as for a moment to
V nf nfil] urKil ^ T m ol'a ihio q mi eei n n
charge home upon them—the great majority,
who are striving for the loaves and fishes—that
they are actuated by unhallowed, unpatriotic,
and unprincipled motives—by such motives as,
ifbrought to light, would open the eyes of the
honest yeomanry, and compel them to cast be
hind them that Satanic influence that seeks to
bind in fetters the elective franchise, and bend
to its mercenary views the political opinions of
independent freemen. And in such manner is
the next Presidential election to be made suc
cessful on the part of those who are anxious to
control the destinies of the nation—thereby be
ing enabled to live upon the money that was in
tended by the framers of the Constitution, with
the sanction of the people, to be bestowed upon
the faithful and qualified officer, rather than up
on the partisan mercenary or parasitical scrib
bler. Yes! the people are called upon to sanc
tion the prostitution of the offices of the Govern
ment to electioneering and corrupt purposes, in
order that the present Administration—which
bag nearly, if not entirely, doubled in expendi
ture of the public money, as compared with the
Adams Administration—may appoint its succes
sor; may do that which those most loudly de
cried against, when, but a little while ago, they
happened to be in the opposition. And now,
"ith remarkable consistency, they are zealously
trying to set up what then, with impassioned
zeal, they essayed to pull down, to wit, that the
President should appoint his own successor!—
And what is it for now, as then? That they may
answer their selfish purposes, and be the money
changers of the Republic! Now, they may ask,
j° you not want to do precisely the same thing?
^ e answer, no—no such tiling. Our object is
l0 ensure the permanence of the Republic, the
Purity of our institutions, with an equal distri
bution of the offices of the Government to the
most worthy, the most honest, the most capable,
hi the appointment to any office within the gift
toe Government, the test shall not be, Will he
support me? will he, in time of need, cry aloud
and spare not? And such, notoriously, is the
manner in which public offices have been filled;
and, forsooth, the party screws turned so tight,
tout none can be promoted to any office w’ithin
toe gift of tho Government, unless he will consent!
>t Jo crook the pregnant hinges of the knee,
vV here thrift may follow fawning.”
And this is Van Buren Republicanism. Shame’
Shame! Shame! I find myself, however, dila
ting too far upon topics which, if not restrained,
will carry me much beyond the bounds I laid
out for myself when I took up my pen. I will,
therefore, conclude by inquiring who is most
likely to succeed against this attempted perpe
tuation of power, and who, with the greatest
probability of success, may be united on by the
American people. I know of no man, as things
present themselves to my mind, who stands the
least chance pi opposing the immense patron
age of the Government, wielded in behalf of
Mr. Van Buren, other than the HON. HENRY
CLAY. And believing him to be in practice,
as well as in his strenuous opposition to the
usurped powers of the Government, a Republi
can—one wrho would administer the Govern
ment in the greatest harmony with the consti
tuted parts, giving to the whole its proper influ
ence, both abroad and at home, and at the same
time administering the General Government in
such a manner as not to encroach on the rights
of the States; while, with the greatest care, he
would restore to his country a vigorous Con
stitution, now trampled upon; a sound curren
cy, now disordered; and constitutional liberty,
now mocked at; I give you him, and, through
you, to the American People, in nomination for
the Presidency of the United States.

SiTMEAD’S ANT I-D YSPECTIC, or STO
MACH PILLS,
THE only medicine ever yet offered to the
public, from which a radical and perma
nent cure can be obtained of all those chronic
states of derangement of the digestive organs,
constituting that complicated disease, termed
Dyspepsia.
The duty which the proprietor owes to soci
ety, has induced him to adopt this mode of cir
culation, in order to give it a greater range of
publicity, that it may thereby become more ex
tensively useful than it could possibly be, were
it confined within the private practice of any
individual v/hatever. The diseases consequent
on a morbid state of the stomach and bowels,
are numerous, complicated, and, for the most
part, very difficult of cure.
The proprietor of these Pills is happy in hav
ing it in hi* power to offer to all those who are
afflicted with the above complaint, a medicine
in which the most unlimited confidence may be
placed, and, for simplicity of composition, may
be given to children and patients of the most
delfcate habit. In every chronic case of stomach
' complaint, where the disease does not depend
on a schirrus, or cancerous state of that organ,
(in which case no medicine whatever can do
any good,) these pills will effect a certain and
speedy cure, after the stomach of the patient has
been cloyed with magnesia and chalk, and
drenched with all the bitter potions that art
could invent, to no purpose. They will most
effectually remove all sourness of the stomach,
not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by cor
recting that morbid state of the secretions which
cdves rise to it; and at the same time that they
are giving tone to the organs of digestion, they
will renovate and give new life and vigor to the
whole system. - Geo. Smith, Propiietoi.

OBITUARY.
We are called to the melancholy task of re
cording, this morning, the death of our esteem
‘ ed townsman, Mr. Thomas Preston, who de
parted this life on Sabbath evening last, aged
66 years. I
We abstain from eulogy. The dead cannot
be benefitted thereby, and, in the hearts of the
living, ought to be enshrined, the enduring re ,
collection of departed worth, asking no ad ven
titious aid. Over the grave of the deceased,
may, with propriety, beinscirbed, “ The noblest
work of God—an honest man” Known long
and familiarly to this community, he was es
teemed for his industry, his enterprise, his integ
rity. He discharged the various duties of life,
faithfully and conscientiously, securing the
warmest affection of his family and friends, and ;
the unshaken confidence of all who knew him.
To crown the whole, Mr. Preston was a Chris
tian, walking humbly with God,v for many years j
a consistent and pious member of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church. As might have been
expected, his end was peace. The writer of
this hasty notice was present, and saw him
breathe his last. No infant ever sunk to slum
ber, on a mother’s breast, more calm and gen
tle. No murmur escaped his lips—no dread
; was felt. He had made his peace with God, and ;
| left the world with the triumphant assurance
upon his lips that he was happy.
“ Happy soul! thy days are ended,
All thy mourning days below,
Go, by angel guards attended,
To the sight of Jesus, go.” A.
The friends and acquaintances of the '
family are invited to attend the funeral This Af
ternoon at 4 o’c/ocfc, from his late residence on
Duke, below water street.

SPLENDID PERFUMERY, &c.
Cream of Nardus, or the Ancient Spikenard.
A FEW bottles of this article of great pricej
known to and sought after with avidity by
the ancient Jews, remarkable for imparting a
sweet odor, and forgiving brilliancy to the hu
man hair. Price 50 cents per bottle.
Jessamine Paste.
This delightful article is admirable for all af
fections of the skin, as pimples, tan, sunburn,
morphew; also for roughness of the skin, for the
chafing of infants, and as applicable for chapped
lips and hands. Price 31 cents.
Saponaceous Shaving Cream.
This truly efficacious preparation is not sur
passed for its fine and emolient lather, and the
ease which it gives to the often very troublesome
operation of shaving. It is entirely free from
those mineral preparations so often used to co
lor soap; and after use this cream leaves the
skin delightfully smooth. Price 37 1-2 cents.

ipo r> vnri »v» it- n
A full assortment of the above articles, just re
ceived, direct from the manufactory; together
with the following vegetative and transfiguring
OILS and DYES:
The Original and Genuine Rowland's Macassar
Oil, for the Hair,
Patronized and sanctioned by his Most Gra
cious Majesty, H. R. II. the Duke of York, H.
U. H. the Duke of Sussex, the Emperor and Em
press of Russia, the Emperors of Persia and
China, &c. &c.
The Indian Dye, for coloring and preserving the
Human Hair.
This excellent and very innocent preparation
differs entirely from the various articles hitherto
used for the same purpose, inasmuch as it is
free from ail noxious ingredients, and will not,
in the slightest degree, injure the texture of the
hair, or even stain the skin. Red, light, grey,
or grisly hair, can, in eight hours, be changed
by it to a beautiful and permanent black or
brown; or if applied at night, on going to bed,
the change will have taken place by morning.
Whiskers and eye-brows are colored with the
same facility. Price 75 cents per bottle.
Low's Indian Oil.
The Indian Oil is a compound of Bear’s Oil
with other articles of equal benefit for the
growth and for gradually coloring the hair; it
has obtained much celebrity for its fine effects,
and is in daily demand. It gives to the hair a
bright and lasting curl, and makes it,, when
harsh, soft and beautiful. Persons who are be
coming grey will find the Indian Oil of much
service in preventing so great a calamity, as it
surely is, to the fashionable lady, or the aspiring
bachelor. No other direction for its use is ne
cessary than to dress the hair with it as is done
with Pomatum or Bear’s Oil. Price 75 cents
per bottle.
Purified Bear's Oil.
Among the many articles offered to the pub
lic for the growth and preservation of the hair,
none seem to have given so much satisfaction as
the Purified Bear’s Oil, which has been known,
in many instances, to restore the hair on heads
which have been bald for years; it also prevents
the hair from falling out, and quickly restores
it when lost from sickness, or any other cause.
It gives to the most stubborn locks a strong,
glossy and lasting curl, removes the dandruff
.1 Ll/.U ixTfrtn i m AO ♦ 1 iTVAIl tK aT t))Oi hull*
11IVI4 OilVU imp' V»vw ^ I V ff J
causing head-ache, &c.
The Bear’s Oil is far superior to Antique or
Macassar Oils, which, being of vegetable origin,
soon make the hair hard and crisp, while ani
mal oils, on the contrary, make it soft and beau
tiful. Of the latter class, the Bear’s Oil, being
more penetrating, is, of course, preferred. Mo
thers will find it excellent for the heads of their
children, and to gentlemen of fashion it is re
commended for the growth of whiskers. When
used, it should be well rubbed into the roots of
the hair with a penetrating bair-brush, which
excites also a healthy action in the skin; the
hair should be well oiled every other day, be
fore combing it. Being highly purified, and
pleasantly perfumed, it will be found decidedly
superior to any other article for constant use in
dressing the hair. Price 25 cents per bottle.
Pearl Ponder.
It is not the intention of this preparation to
paint the skin, but merely to remedy the etfects
of heat, which it does by gently cooling its sur
face, and preventing sudden changes of the
complexion. This powder will be found free
from any deleterious articles, and may be used
with perfect safety. Price 25 cents per box.
Compound Chlorine Tooth Wash.
This highly popular prepaiatinn is believed
to be the best wash for the teeth ever discover
ed; the good qualities of the Chlorine, so useful
for many purposes, has never been better appli
ed than as a cleanser of the teeth and gums. It
has been compounded for the purpose, with
other articles of known utility, and is recom
mended to the public as a preparation of supe
rior value.
~ By its use, the diseased gums are restored to
a healthy state, and the progress ot decay in un
sound teeth prevented. It gives a surpassing
whiteness to the teeth, prevents the accumula
tion of tartar, and preserves the gums from
scurvy: by destroying the impurities of the teeth
and gums, it sweetens the breath—it also keeps
the teeth-brush clean, which itself is an object of
some importance.
