[Translated from the German.]
LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE,
of Germany,
The Greatest of Human Benefactors.
Citizens of North and South America,
To Louis Offon Goelicke, M. D., cf Germany,
[Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor o 1 adding
anew and precious doctrine to the science of medi
cine —a doctrine which, though vehemently opposed
D y many of the faculty, (of which he i* a valuable
member,) be proves to be as well founded in truth
as any doctrine of Holy Writ —a doctrine, upon the
verily of which are suspended the lives, of millions
of our race, and which he boldly challenges his op
posers to refute, viz: Consu option is disease ai
wavs occasioned by a disordered state of V ls V it<e
(or*Life Principle) of the human body) often
secretly lurking in the system for yeajs belore
there is the least complaint of the Lungs \A —and
which may be as certainly, though not so|q(iickly,
cured, as a common co dor a simple heahaihe. An
invaluably precious doctrine this, as an
important lesson to the apparently neaUbjj of both
sexes, tear nag them that tnis insidious foe may
be an unobserved inmate of their -‘ clayey.[houses”
even while they imagine themselves secure from
its attacks, teaching them that the great secret in the
art of preserving health is to pluck out the disease
when in the blade, and not wait till the full grown
ear.
J hit, illustrious benefactor of man is also entitled
to youi unfeigned gratitude, and the gratitude ol a
world,for lae invention of his matchless Sanative,
—whose healing lint may justly claim for it such a
title, since it has so signally triumphed (jver our
great common enemy, Consutupticin,'. both in
the hist and last stages, —a medicine jwlHich has
thoroughly tilled the vacuum in the Matejria.Aledica,
snj thereby proved itself the Conquest of Phy
sic ians.r E —a medicine, for which a.l ijfu.nkind
will have abundant cause to bless the bt’m ucent
hand of a kind Providence, —a medicine vhose
wondrous virtues have been so glowingly
ed even by some of our clergy, in theiir pastoral
visits to tee sick chamber ; by which means they
often become ttie happy instruments of ciija’iging de
sponding into hope, sickness into healthy «ud sad

A certificate from three members of the Medical
Profession in Germany, in Europe. :
We, toe undersigned, practitioners of medicine
in Germany, are wed aware that, by our course,
we mav forfeit the friendship of some of \p »? facul
ty, but*not of its benevolent members, whp ‘.ire un
iniluenced by se lish motives. 1 bough ;ve shall
refrain from an expression of our opinion, either
of the soundness or unsoundness of LT. Goehck’s
new doctrine we are happy to say that we* deem
his Sanative too valuable not to be generally
known—for what our eyes behold and lour ears
hear, we must believe. J
We Hereby state, that when Dr. Loim, Offen
Goelick tirst came oefore the German public, as
the pretended discoverer of a new doctrine and a
new medicine, we held him in the highest con
tempt, believing and openly pronouncing Pina to be
a base impostor and the prince of quacks. Rut, on
hearing so much said about the Sanative, against it
and for it, we were induced, from motives of; call
osity merely, to make trial of its reputed virtues
upon a number of our most hopeless patients; and
we now deem it our bounden duty (even at the
expense of self-interest publicly to acknowledge
its efficacy in curing not only consumption, but
other fearful maladies, which we have heretofore
believed to be incurable. Our contempt for the
discoverer ot this medicine was at once svyaijtowed
up in our utter astonishment at these unexpected
results; and, as amends for our abuse of him, we
do frankly confess to the world, that we believe
him a philanthropist, who does honor to the pjrotes
skn, and to our country, which gave him form.
The recent adoption of this medicine into some
of our European hospitals, is a sutficient guaranty
that it performs all promises. It needed not our
estiraony, for wherever it is used it is its owfobest
wi ness. HERMAN ETMULLER, SI.MB.

W e have read some little poetry in our day and
have been variously aflected by it. hut our feelings
were never so wrought upon as in reading the
following lines. We do not believe there is to be
found in all the poetry that has been written,
either ancient or modern, three stanzas containing
more of the‘real ore’—the pure unadulterated
essence than will be found in the article below.
This is high praise, but we unhesitatingly submit
our better opinions tc the better judgment of our
brethren. Our correspondent has oui thanks for

Have I paid up the Printer ?
From east and west, from north and south,
From lands beyond the water,
He daily, weekly, brings you news
From every nook and quarter.
No slave on earth tods more than he
Through summer’s heat and winter:
How can you for a moment then
Neglect to pay the Printer ?
Y r our other bills you promptly pay.
Wherever you do owe sir,
The butcher for his meat is paid,
For “sundries” is the grocer ;
The trader and the shoemaker.
The hatter and the vintner.
All get their pay—then why neglect
To settle with the Printer ?
Woman.
I admire in woman that innocent expression
which wins by its simplicity and unaffected ness,
that artless unadorned beauty with which the
God of Nature has been pleased to mantle her.
I admire that sparkling internal gem, the jewel of
intelligence, which shines dispensing light and
diffusing its all-poweiful influence to the soul, in
fdcinatmg and virtuous allections and kindly char
ities, which never looses their reward. I admire
an emulation of that taste for whatever refines
the manner, enlarges the mind, strengthens and
purifies the heart; thus engaging the attention by
the vivacity and spirit which it gives to ihe per
son and conversation. I admire that ingenious
ness of disposition which makes her society so
attractive, pleasing, and at all times desirable;
throwing around those within its kindly influence
a charm and a facination which the face, the in
dex of the heart, unceasingly makes manifest,
through the unwonted smiles of pleasure, made
irresistable by its captivating charms. I admire
her for those humble, retiring and unobtrusive
virtues, wc.ich although their lights may not he
dazzling and resplendent, yet throw around hu
manity a soft and heavenly radiance, which, in
woman, is particularly to be admired and imita
ted. I admire to contemplate her as the swift
winged messenger of love bent on errands of mer
cy, in which character and altitude she so bright
ly shines, being charity’s loveliest almoner, where
‘The poor’s her client, and heaven’s smiles her fee,’
as well also in that sphere where thfe warm and
generous impulses of a susceptible heart throb in
listless joy at the happiness its own presence cre
ates within the domestic circle. I admire woman
for her virtuous influence upon society. Wheth
er at home or abroad, at all times and in all pla
ces, like the genial influence of the sua, her ra
diating virtues are every where to be seen and
felt, enl vening, refreshing and invigorating the
noblerpulsation of society-—thus quickening into
new and active energy by her presence, her beau
ty, her affection and her love. I admire and love
her. when elevated by a religion capable of being
so personified in her as to discover its truly noble
and animating principles, the full sjhlimhy of its
faith, and the invigorating aspirations of its hope,
causing the outpouring of the heart, first, to deep
en in subdued reverence and gratitude to God,
and next, to overflow in unbounded love and be
nevolence to mankied; thus in the life and ac
tions, teaching and informing us, that the great
object of existence ought to be, in view of that
one event which liappeneth un.o all, manifested
in the advancement of human happiness, which
we have the divine assurance, will not fail to
meet its just reward.
I admire her for these, and all other virtues; but
let me pause here to inquire what is it that gives
to woman these, so much to he admired, fascina
ting, virtuous affections, kindly charities, refine
ment of manner, ingenuousness of disposition,
controlling moral influence in society, and the
suchlike'? It is education ? It is the cultiva
tion of the latent powers of the mind, that is to
be found in those brilliant hues that enchant the
world ; it is in this rich casket that is contained
the precious elixir, by which may be transmit
ted that witchery to the eye» benignity to the
countenance, and grace to the gesture.
To fair and beaufeo is woman I would then
say cultivate the n ind ; then, though beside her
may he seated the daughter of nobility enrobed
in all the richest taffeties of the Indies, displaying
the most precious of Golconda’s riches, without
the jewel of intelligence, still will she but the
more conspicuously shine, outvieing her in that
jewel of the head, which emits its heavenly lus
tre and thrilling beams of intellectual fire. Cul
tivate the powers of your mind; then, through
the heart and allections, will he conveyed to the
world an imprint of the most exquisite chiselling
of the intellectual sculptor; for in woman, more
than in man, may be exhibited that lofty scale of
being—that point of highest human excellence—
such as, from her pure mind, raises her aspirations
after the higher and m~re refined gratification,
and truly fits her for the great and noble.

Vixcennks.—We have la'ely been favored
with an able, well written Address by Judge Law
delivered before the Vincennes Historical and
Antiquarian Society, which contains some stri
king and intere-_ ing facts in relation to the his
tory of that valuable portion of the Union—some
of which we extract for the entertainment of our
readers.
Clouds and darkness (says the Judge) rest on
the early history of Vincennes. It is almost im
possible to determine at what date it first became
a military position. In the latter part of the
17th century the French attempted an union of
their Settlements watered by the Ohio and Mis
sissippi and their tributary streams, with their
possessions in Canada. To effect this, they es
tablished a cordon of posts from the ] akes to the
Baiize, including a military station or two on
the Illinois and Wabash. The project was a good
one, and but for the concurrence of circumstances
usually attendant on national schemes when col
onies are to be formed at a distance, might have
been successful in forming a territory which they
meant to have called New France. But the
War with Great Britain, which was concluded by
the peace of 1763, transferred Canada to the Brit
ish dominions, and Louisiana, by a secret treaty
with Spain in 1763, to the latter power, which
stripped France of all her possessions in the new
world.
It appears from a work, entitled “Edifying and
curious Letters,” published at Paris in 1761, that
Vincennes and Kaskaskia, were at that time oc
cupied by French troops; butthe tract of country,
lying to the e stward, now abounding in ail the
materials which constitute a great nation, and
which contains upwards of two millions of in
habitants, was then all but a desert, to the banks
of the Delaware.
During our Revolutionary war, in February,
1779. Gen. George Rogers Clarke, aided by Col.
Francis Vigo, and a comparatively small number
of troops, took possession of Kaskaskia, Vincen
nes and some other posts on the Wabash and
Ohio, and was the means of securing to us thtf
whole territory now covered by three great flour
ishing States,lndiana, Illinois and Michigan, and
yet, great as were the consequences of these con
quests of Gen. Clarke, we scarcely find a page
of our Revolutionary annals filled with an ac
count of the important events.
The act of Virginia, transferring the Northwes
tern Territory to the United States, passed in De»
comber, 1783, and in 1787, the celebrated Ordin--
ance for its government, which came from the
pen of Nathan Dane, of Massachusetts, was pass
ed by Congress—an ordinance, which for its wise
and wholesome p ovisions, and for the blessing*
which it will carry down to posterity, is unequall
ed by any legislative act ever framed here or else
where.
In 1800, Congress passed the act dividing the
Indiana Territory, from what was called the Ter
ritory Northwest of the river Ohio, and in 1801,
General Wm. H. Harrison was appointed its Gov
ernor. The whole population did not then ex
ceed 5.000 souls. The census which is about to
be taken of the several States, wil: soon show the
present population of the three States. They
have in the present Congress six Senators and 1
eleven Representatives!
An Extraordinary Trial. — A trial took'
place nut long ago, before the Criminal Court of;
Grenada. For some years past there had been'
residing in the village of Ugijar, a charitable in
dividual, named Don Vincente de Bentaval-y Sa
xar, whose fortune was devoted to improving the
condition of the villagers and relieving the poor-
Tosuch an extent did Don Vincente carry his
charity, that he denied himself almost the neces
saries of life in order to succor the necessitous,
and he has been known to take the cl >ak from
his own back to cover that of a poor female who*
was without one. Suddenly, the peaceful* inhab
itants of this village were alarmed at accounts of
murders committed in their neighbourhood, and;
all attempts to discover their origin were vain. It*
was merely known from the circumstances at
tending them, that they must have been com
mitted by the same hand. Suddenly, however,,
the mystery was to be revealed. Two peasant’s*
who had entered a recess to shelter themselves
from the sun. and eat their mid day meal, were
startled by the firing of a gun, and running out,
they saw the body of a murdered man, and the
murderer standing over him rifling his pockets.
They threw themselves upon the assassin, and
having secured him, were in the greatest aston
ishment at seeing that it was the charitable Don-
Vincente. As the denial of the crime before him
was impossible, he admitted that he was the au
thor of all the murders which had been commit
ted, and stated that his only motive was to obtain
money—his own resources being exhausted—for
the poor. In his defence before the Judges, he
declared that his first murder, that of a wealthy
priest, took place under the following circum
stances :
In Pon Vincente’s village, two young persons
were oetrothed to each other, but a sudden ca
lamity which occurred to the father of the female
prevented his paying the promised portion with,
his daughter, and the marriage was on the point
of being broken off. Don Vincente, hearing of
the circumstances, resolved to raise the money,
and applied to several of his acquaintances for a
loan, but received a refusal from all. Shortly
afterwards he met the priest on his road, and.
asked him to lend hi n 30 ounces of gold;-the
priest, wh>» knew him well, said he had 100 oun
ces in bis portmanteau on the back of his mule,
and that he was welcome to it ail; but Don Vin
cente having afterward, in his joy, told him for
what purpose the money was intended, the priest
laughed at him, and said he was mad, and that
foi such a purpose he should not have a single
ounce. Don Vincente, irritated at this, shot him'
dead : and having taken his gold, gave the wed
ding dowry, and distributed the rest in various
acts of charity. Having committed this murder,
he resolved to make the robbery of the rich the
means of supplying the continual demands of his
poor pensioners; and as this*was only to be done
by taking life, he committed murder after mur
der until he was detected. On hearing, the sen*.-
tence of death pronounced upon him by. his Judg
es, he exclaimed, “ Oh, my God !'. who will now
take care of my poor I”— Galignani's Messen
