Citizens of North and South Araeri, , To Louis Offon Goelicke, M. D of Germany, [Europe,j belongs the imperishable 1 nor of adding anew and precious doctrine to the s ence of medi cine—a doctrine which, though vehe: entiy opposed by many of the faculty, (of which 1 is a valuable member,) he proves to be as well fc nded in truth as any doctrine of Holy Writ—a doc cine, upon the verity of which are suspended the ii es of millions of our race, and which he boldly chf lenges his op posers to refute, viz: Consumption a disease al ways occasioned by a disordered st; e of Vis Vitae (or Life Principle) of the human bt y; (£/ often secretly lurking in the system so years before there is the least complaint of the L; igs Jffo —and which may be as certainly, though i it so quickly, cured, as a common cold or a simple 1 jadache.

We Hereby state, that when I . Louis Offen Goelick first came before the Gen an public, as the pretended discoverer of a new c 'Ctrine and a new medicine, we held him in tli highest con tempt. believing and openly pronom ing him to be a base impostor and the prince of qu -ks. But, on hearing so much said about the Sana ve, against it and for it, we were induced, from ra fives of curi osity merely, to make trial of its i puted virtues upon a number of oft most hopeless patients; and we now deem it our bounden duo (even at the expense of self-interest) publicly t acknowledge its eificacy in curing not only coi umption, but other fearful maladies, which we h ve heretofore believed to be incurable. Our co tempt for the discoverer of this medicine w r as at c ce swallowed up in our utter astonishment at thi e unexpected results; and, as amends for our abt e of him, we do frankly confess to the world, th t we believe him a philanthropist, who does hono to the proles skn, and to our country, which gave dm birth.

S. Fitch, dated Philadelphia, May It), 1838. DR* JAYNE —Dear Sir, —1 feet that 1 can hardly say enough to you in favor of Jayne's *1 Oleaginous Hair Tonic , prepared by you. My 1 hair had been falling olf about two years, and had I become very thin, threatening speedy baldness, | when I commenced using this remedy. In about ; one week, it ceased to fall olf. 1 have used it now about three months, and have as full and thick a head of hair a* I can possibly desire. I have recommended its use to a number of my friends, who ah speak we 1 of it. If faithfully employed* I have no doubt o. its general success. I mar add that before using the Tonic, 1 ha I iried aimost all the various articles employed for the hair, such as the Macassar Oil, all the different preparations of Bear’s Oil, Vegetable Hair Oil, &c &c., without experiencing much, if any, benefit. Respectfully j yours, S. S. Fitch, No. 172 Chesnut street. y_J J Before Dr. Fitch used this Tonic lus ha r be- \ gan to be gray, but since then there is not a gray i hair to be found on his head. Philadelphia, May 11, 1838. Dr. Jayne —Dear Sir, —I cheerfully and with i pleasure submit the following to vou, with the i liberty of your making it public, should you have ! the desire: —For several months past my hair had : been rapidly falling off, so much so indeed that by I passing my fingers lightly through it, I could obtain ; a quantity in my hand. I had tried all the sash- i ionable Oils of the day, without having received the slightest sensible benefit. The only resource ; that seemed left to me, was to have my head shav- ! ed and wear a wig. Having, through a friend who 1 had prolitted by its use, heard of the remarkable cures effected by i ne’s feaginous Hair Tonic, sold by you, I was induced, as a dernier resort, to try it. I have used two bottles, and am pleased to j say, that a;ter a few applications, my hair ceased I entirely from coming out, the young "hair made its appearance in great abundance, and that now I have a fine, luxuriant growth, and believe it to be the best remedy ever yet discovered A fair trial will be its best recommendation. Independently j of its virtues as a restorative and preventive, it imparts to the hair a fine healthy, glossy appear- i ance, it soft and flexible, which will make it an invaluable acquisition for the toilet of every one at all desirous of beautifying that great est of adornments of the sac hair. Returning my most sincere thanks for saving me from premature baldness, by the use of the j above Tonic, I am, dear Sir, your ooedient servant, L. Rinaldo Sank, No. 108 Walnut st.

Dr. D Jayne, — Sir — l take pleasure in inform- j ing you that the bottle of Jayne’s Hair Tonic, which 1 obtained of you last October, has proved most satisfactory and successful. My hair had for j a long time been exceedingly thin. But for two i or three years past it had so fallen out that my head had become almost entirely bald. I was un- j der the necessity of concealing the baldness by combing the hair on the sides over it But now, after using about half of a bottle of the “Tonic,” I have as luxuriant growth of hair as I ever had.

Report On the New Jersey Contested Election. In compliance with the resolution adopted by the House of Representatives, on the 28lh ulti mo, instructing the Committee of Elections to ''report forthwith which five of the ten indi viduals claiming seats from the State of New Jersey, received the greatest number of lawful votes from the whole State for Representatives in the Congress of the United States at the election oj 1838, in said State, with all the evidence of that fact tn their possession • Pro vided, That nothing herein contained shall he so construed as to prevent or delay the ac tion of said committee in taking testimony or deciding the said case upon the merits of the election." The committee submit the follow ing report: While the committee, from the commencement of its labors in this important case, have been ac tuated by the most anxious desire to do justice to the individual claimants, to the ancient and hon orable State lor whose service thev are maintain ing an animated contest, and to the whole Amer ican people, who have a deep and abiding inter est in preserving the purity of elections; and while for securing so valuable a result, the committee had marked out a course somewhat different from that which seems now to be prescribed bv the House, they cheertully yield to its authority; and so lar as they can ascertain its intention, they have no other inclination than to give it ample and speedy effect. The committee, however, have encountered no inconsiderable difficulty in harmonizing all the terms of the resolution with that intention, which, from the circumstances of the case, as well as from the more prominent clauses of the resolution itself, they must understand to have governed the action ol the House. To give every word in the resolution the full force of a literal interpretation, would be, perhaps, to raise such a conflict be tween the parts as to disable the whole. But instead of separating it into parts, the whole res olution should be so construed as to give expres sion to a distinct intention, which is capable of bring ascertained and effectuated. As a portion of the House, the members of the committee are not ignorant of the importance that was attached to the insertion of the word "lawful,” before the word “votes,” in the resolution. Nor can they overlook the fact that connected with the propo sition to insert, was thu motion to s.nke out ano ther word, utterly inconsistent with thatbroid and searching investigation which the insertion ol the word “lawful," (without reference to oth er expressions in the resolution, or to the posture ol the caseitsejl) would seem to demand. The House had referred to the committee the whole subject matter of the controversy, and with it a mass of testimony having no application to any inquiry, short of the merits of the election, i he committee had, us was well known to the House, entered upon this inquiry, and had adop ted such measures for the procurement of testi mony as woulc probably probe to the core all frauds and illegalities. In the prosecution of this investigation a delay had occurred, the deplora ble effects of which were as manifest to the com mittee as to the House. Wuen the proposition to instruct was original ly introduced as an amendment to the application with which the committee had come before the House, its intent was clear that a report should be immediately made of the names of those who had received the greatest number of votes at the last Congressional election in New Jersey. If any thing more was wanting to explain the mean ing of tliis proposition, it is to be found in the provi o which was added, and which clearly in dicated that the action which the House was moved to demand, did not contemplate an inter ference with the course adopted by the committee for the “ taking of testimony, and deciding the case upon the merits of the election." Under these circumstances, if the proposition to strike out the word -forthwith,” and insert the word "lawful," had fully succeeded, there would still have remained that prominent clause of pro viso ; and it might well have been understood, that, notwithstanding the omission of the word I "forthwith," the Hou*e desired an immediate re ! port; and that, notwithstanding the insertion of | the word "lawful," the House contemplated that ; the report should be independent ol testimony, now under the process ol being obtained, for the purpose of deciding the election upon its merits. Upon what basis, then, could such a report be constructed ? Manifestly not upon the partial, in conclusive, and incompetent testimony as :o the legality of votes now in the possession of the committee. The House cannot have contem plated a report, involving an investigation of the ballot boxes, without allowing lime or opportunity ( for that investigation to be thorough. At the same time, the committee cannot en ! tirely overlooked the word “ lawful ,” or suite that from the resolution which was inserted upon a contest so close as to require a casting vote for decision. Did this word stand disconnected with, or unqualified by, the various considerations al ■ ready alluded to, no doubt could be entertained as to its effect. It would lead to a thorough and final purgation of the polls, and would delay a report to that period, to which it was well known to the House that the committee had postponed a decision upon the question of ultimate right. There is but one other basis left, and that is the prima facie case upon the returns of the lo cal officers of the several polls ; and the nature of the controversy taken into consideration, il can scarcely be doubted that to this basis the resolu tion looked, If this conclusion might reasonably have been reached, in the event of the complete and coeval success of the motions to strike out and insert, how much more easily is it attained when the re solution is found armed with the pungent word “ forthwith," quickening the action of the com mittee, and declaring opposition to the long de lay which had been found inseparable from a thorough investigation into the legality of the votes. If, therefore, the word “ lawful,” surrounded as it is by every thing which negatives the idea of a mere adherence to the original course of the committee, can be made to harmonize with the context of the resolution, and the circumstances under which it was adopted, by every sound rule of construction, that end should rather be attain ed by limiting the meaning of that word, than by bending the rsason and language of ail the rest (if that were possible) to its strongest and am plest signification. 1 he committee are therefore of opinion that they correctly construe that word with the con text, when they limit its signification to that pri ma facie lawfulness of votes which arises upon their reception at polls held in conformity with law; and in in thus limiting its signification, they feel themselves sustained by the general lan guage and spirit of the resolution and by the sit uation of the case itself. The committee are confirmed in this construc tion, and the course consequent thereon, by the consideration that any judgment looking beyond the face of the polls, which they might base upon the inconclusive testimony in their possession, would he unsatisfactory to the House unjust to the parties, and calculated to produce enormous conclusions in relation to a mass of facts which appear to be verified by the oaths of voters, hut which, either because of the extia judicial ad ministration of the oaths, or the want of due no tice to the opposite parties have been rejected as not sufficiently proven. It is proper, however, to stale that, should all the votes proven to be ille gal by competent testimony , be deducted from those who received the greatest number at the polls, which appear to have been held in con formity with law , the result would not affect the right of any candidate to a scat. With this explanation, which they have con sidered due to the House and to themselves, the committee will now proceed to examine the alle gations against the validity of certain township elections, as far as such examination can be made upon the testimony in their possession. Upon th:s branch of the case, the claimants holding the Governor’s commissions, claim— **" Ist. That , apart from their not being rec. ived in time to be counted according to law, the votes of Millville should be set aside for the fraudu lent and illegal conduct of the officers of elec tion,in proclaiming their intention to receive the votes of aliens , and in receiving a large num ber of such knowingly, and in violation of the laws of the S/ace. Without inquiring into the effect of these charges, if they were substantiated by competent ami satistactory testimony, it is sufficient to state that they are unsupported by any testimony in the possession of the committee. 2d. They allege that, apart from all defects and irregularities in the return, the votes of i-'outh Amboy should be set aside, because one of the officers ol election duly chosen, was unlawfully prevented from acting, and another substituted in his place, who acted and signed the list, &c., and because the board, thus unlawfully constituted, received a large number of alien votes contrary to law. In support of these allegations, numerous de popositions have been produced, but without ex pressing an opinion, whether, if satisfactorily proved, they would constitute sufficient evidence of fraud to set aside the votes of this township, it is only necessary to state that the evidence was taken exparte , without sufficient notice, and has been rejected by the committee as incompetent to be considered in this case. 3d. It is further claimed, that the poll held at Saddle River in Bergen county, should be set a side : Because at least eight votes given for them were fraudulently abstracted from the ballot box, and as many for their opponents fraudulently sub stituted : Because in making out the list of votes in said township, at least eight votes less than were given for them were counted in their favor, and at least as many were counted for their op ponents, more than they received : and because the list of votes in said township bears upon its face evidence of mistake or fraud. In support of these charges, the depositions of numerous voters have been submitted ; but being taken exparte , and without sufficient notice, they have been rejected by the committee, as in competent testimony. It is also claimed that the polls held at the townships Newton, Haderton, and Vernon, in Sussex county, should be set aside, for reasons that will more tully appear by reference to the document marked A, accompanying this report. But there is competent evidence before the com mittee in support of these allegations. Having thus disposed, for the present, of the various objections to the validity of the elections held at the several townships claimed to be set aside, the committee will now proceed to ascer tain five of the ten claimants received the greatest number of lawful votes” at the late Congressional election in New Jersey, accoiding to the several returns purporting upon their face to be made by officers duly authorised to act. The committee take as the basis of their cal culation, the statement upon which the Governor and Privy Council of New Jersey made their de cision, and which is found in the minutes of the proceedings of the Governor and Privy Council. From this statement, it appears that the total of voting for each ol the ten claimants were as follows: For Philemon Dickerson, 27,951 Peter D. Vroom, 27,990 Daniel B. Ryall, 27.939 William R. Cooper, 27,954 Joseph K lie, . 27,924 John B. Aycrigg, 28,150 John B. P, A ax well 28,239 William Halsted, 28 192 Chas. C, Stratton, 28.262 Thomas Jones Yorke, 28,177 r’hilemon Dickinson, 3 John B. Acrigg. 1 In this statement, as it appears to the satisfac tion of the committee, and has not been denied or the contrary pretended, the votes received at the townships of Millville and Amboy are not in cluded. The state of those polls is exhibited by the documents (marked C and D) accompaying this report, whereby it appears that the total of votes of the two townships, for each of the ten clai mants, was as follows; Philemon Dickerson, 602 Peter D. Vroom,' 608 Daniel B. Ryall, 502 William R. Cooper, 501 Joseph Kille, 501 J. B. Aycrigg, 144 J. B. P. Maxwell, 144 William Halsted, * 145 C. C. Stratton, 144 T. J. Yorke, 144 These votes being added respectively to those set forth in the documents marked B, already re icrred to as the basis of the Governor’s commis sions, the following results are exhibited, to wit: FOll PHILEMON DICKERSON. Votes counted by the Governor and Pri vy Council. 27,951 Votes of Millville and South Amboy. 502 Total for Philemon Dickerson. 28,453 FOR PETER I). VROOM.
