[Translated from the German.]
LOUIS OFFON GOEIIuKE,
of Germany,
The Greatest of Human Benefactors.
Citizens of North and South America,
To Louis Offon Goelicke, M. D., of Germany,
[Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor oi adding
anew and precious doctrine to the science ol medi
cine —a doctrine which, though vehemently opposed
by many of the faculty, (of which he is a valuable
member,) he proves to be as well founded in truth
as any doctrine of Holy Writ —adpotrine, upon the
verity of which are suspended the! lives of millions
of our race, and which he boldly cSiailenges his op
posers to refute, viz : Consumption is a disease al
ways occasioned by a disordered state of Vis Vito,*
(or Life Principle) of the human [body: QQ-" often
secretly lurking in the system jfor/years before
there is the least complaint of thejLungs —and
which may he as certainly, though not so quickly,
cured, as a common coid or a simps headache. An
invaluably precious doctrine this.-; as \* imparts an
important lesson to the apparentl\| healthy of both
sexes, teaching them that this insidious foe may
be an unobserved inmate of their clayey houses”
even while they imagine themseiyes 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 nut wait U ' t l the fall grown
ear. j
This illustrious benefactor of min is also entitled
to youi unfeigned gratitude, and tjie gratitude of a
world,for the inveutuy of hi* nos’chless Sanative,
—whose healing hat may justly lor it such a
title, since it has so signally tr : '. replied over our
great common enemy, fj* C< ns amption, both in
the lirst and last stages, —a medicine which has
thoroughly filled the vacuum in thp Materia Med ica,
an<j.thereby proved itself the £ ynqueror of Phy
sic iansj^j —a medicine, for wlfich all mankind
will have abundant cause to bless the beneficent
hand of a kind Providence, —a medicine whose
wondrous virtues have been so glowingly pourtray
ed even by sjme of our clergy, in their pastoral
visits to tee sick chamber ; by which means they
often become the happy instrumeatsof changingde
sponding into hope, sickness into health, and sad
of friends into jov fulness
3Q$ 3 Q
GOELICKE'S MATCHLESS SANATIVE,
A medicine of more value to man than the vast
mines of Austria, or even the united treasures ol
our globe, —a medicine, which is obtained equally
from the vegatable, animal and mineral kingdoms,
and thus possesses a three-fold power,—a medicine,
which, though designed as a remedy for consump
tion solely, is possessed ot a mysterious influence
over many diseases of the human system, —a medi
cine, which begins to be valued by physicians, who
are daily witnessing its astonishing cures oi many
whom they had resigned to the grasp of the Insa
tiable Grave,
DOSE oi the Sanative, for adults, one drop; for
children, a half-drop; and for infants, a quarter
drop; the directions explaining the manner of ta
king a half or a quarter drop.
Price — Three and one-third ri_i dollars* ($2,50)

A certificate from three members of the Medical
Profession in Germany, ik Europe.
We, the undersigned, pracHtiJicrs of medicine
in Germany, are well aware time, by our course,
we mav forfeit the friendship ot i-ome of the tacul
ty, but not of it - benevolent members, who are un
iniluenced by se ugfi motives. | hough we shall
refrain from an expression of o '.r opinion, either
of the soundness or unsoundiiess- of Dr. Goclick’s
new doctrine, we are happy to s£y that we deem
his Sanative too valuable not to be generally
known —for what our eyes behold and our ears
hear, we must believe.
We nereby state, that wheti Dr. Louis Often
Goelick tirst came before the German public, as
the pretended discoverer of a new doctrine and a
new medicine, we held him in f the highest con
tempt, believing and openly pronouncing him to be
a base impostor and the prince ofjquacks. But, on
hearing so much said about the sjnalive, against it
and for it, we were induced, fronV motives of curi
osity merely, to make trial of PV reputed virtues
upon a number of our most hopeless patients; and
we now deem it our bounder, caty (even at the
expense of self-interest) publicly to acknowledge
its eiiicacy in curing not only [consumption, but
other fearful maladies, which w,i have heretofore
believed to be incurable. Our; [contempt for the
discoverer of this medicine was ujt once swallowed
up in our utter astonishment at these unexpected
results; and, as amends for our buse ot him, we
do frankly confess to the world, , that we believe
him a philanthropist, who docs he- lor to tue protes
sicn, and to our countiy, which g- re him birth.
The recent adoption of this mfdicine into some
of our European hospitals, is a. sufficient guaranty
that it performs ail promises. ,:t needed not our
estimony, for wherever it is use s it is its own best
wi ness. HERMAN ETAHJLLER, w. D.

OLEAGINOUS HAIR TONIC.
Copy of a letter from Dr. S. S. Fitch, dated
, Philadelphia, May 10, IS3S.
DR. JAYNE—Dear Sir,—l feel that I can
hardly say enough to you in favor of Jhiyne’s
t Oleaginous Hair Tonic, prepared by you. My
t hair had been falling off - about two years, and had
1 become very thin, threatening speedy baldness,
; when I commenced using tiiis remedy. In about
; one week, it ceased to fall off - . I have used it now
f about three months, and have as full and thick a
3 head of hair aa 1 can possibly desire. I have
recommended its use to a number of mv friends.
{ who all speak well of it. If faithfully employed!
I have no doubt ol its general success. I may add
that before using the Tonic, I ha I iried almost all
the various articles employed for the hair, such as
) the Macassar Oil, all the diffei'ent preparations ol
t Bear’s Oil, Vegetable Hair Oil, &c. &c., without
experiencing much, if any, benefit. Respectfully
yours, S. S. Fitch, No. 172 Chesnut street
f Dr. Fitch used this Tonic his ha r be
„• gan to be gray, but since then there is not a gray
hair to be found on his head.
r
, Philadelphia, May I>, 1838.
Dn. Jayne—Dear Sir, —I cheerfully and with
■ pleasure submit the following to you, with the
• liberty of your making it public, should you, have
the desire: —For several months past my hair had
I been rapidly falling olf, so much so indeed that by
passing my lingers lightly through it, 1 could obtain
a quantity in my hand. I had tried all the fash
ionable tills of the day, without having received
the slightest sensible benefit. The only resource
that seemed left to me, was lo have rr.y head shav
ed and wear a wig. Having, through a friend who
1 had profitted by its use, heard of the remarkable
cures effected by yne’s > leaginous Hair Tonic,
sold by 3 r ou, I was induced, as a d»raicr resort, to
try it. 1 have used two bott:es, and am pleased to
say, that alter a few applications, ray hair ceased
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
f the best remedy ever yet discovered A fair trial
will be its best recommendation. Independently
of its virtues as a restorative aad preventive, it
imparts to the hair a fine healthy, g ossy appear
-1 ance, rendering 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
above Tonic, I am, dear Sir, your obedient servant,

which 1 obtained of you last (tclober, has proved
most satisfactory and successful. My ha4r had for
a long time been exceedingly thin. But for two

head had become almost entirely bald, I was un

comblng the bair on the sides over it But now,

I have as luxuriant growth of hair as I ever had.

House, ( its reception and reading being re-
Jused, icith th&jirevious question pending,
and all delate cut ojf, J by a party vote in the
negative.
I lie undersigned, being a minority of the
Committee on Elections, to which was referred
the New Jersey case, not concurring in the rea
soning and conclusions of the report presented to
the House by the Chairman of that committee,
in justice to themselves, and (what is of still
higher importance,) in justice to the State of New
Jersey, rmd her representatives, beg leave to pre
sent to the consideration of the House the follow
ing report;
e regret very much that the report above re
ferred t«>, should have been presented to the
House so soon after it was adopted in committee,
as to render it wholly impracticable for us to sub
mit to the House at the same time our own views
of the interesting and important subject before
the committee, in the form of a counter report;
and we also regret that our time and attention
have been so much engrossed by the proceedings
* °f the House 09 this subject, since the principal
report was submitted by the chairman, that we
> are how necessarily limited to such a statement
of material facts connected with the question be
fore the House, as is indispensable to a true un
derstanding of its merits.
w hen the subject was first referred to the com
mittee, the parties to the contest were severally
' notified that the committee was then ready to re
, ceive a statement of such facts in writing as they
proposed to prove, together with any legal points
they might think proper to submit to sustain their
respective claims.
In pursuance of this suggestion, they made to
the committee written communications, in which
i their views of the controversy and the grounds
of their respective claims were fully developed;
and which were in substance as follows: The
commissioned members claimed the vacant seats
> under and by virtue of the commissions issued by
the Executive of Xew Jers-cy; and insisted that
I it the committee should determine t) go back of
k those commissions and to inquire into the merits
of the election, they had a majority of the legal
votes polled, and also a majority of the voles law
fully certified to the Governor.
The non-commissioned claimants admitted the
1 authenticity of the commissions, but alleged that
' they received the greatest number .of votes polled ;
’ that the Governor and Privy Council unlawfully
, refused to count the votes from the townships of
Millville and South Amboy, for the reason that
: they were not included in the certificates of the
clerk of the counties of Middlesex and Cumber
land; and that, had the votes of the townships
been counted, the result would have been a ma
jority in their favor. That the commissions being
I thus erroneously and unlawfully issued, were
> void.
The commisionod members alleged numerous
r frauds and illegalities in the election; some of
. which they insisted ought to set aside the polls ;
and others, invalidate the votes: such as exclu
s ding duly elected persons from officiating as
b judges of election ; the determination of electing
" officers to receive alien votes, and, in fact, receiv-
ing such votes, knowing that they were illegal;
t disregarding all challenges of illegal votes, and
. permitting persons, attempting to challenge, to he
3 driven away by thre; ts and violence ; and fraud
t ulently abstracting votes given for them, and suh
t stituting others for their opponents; and rejecting
s legal voles offered for them ; and admitting illegal
” voles on the olherside; and they also submitted
to the committee a list showing about 230 illegal
votes given and counted for the non-commission
ed claimants, and three or four legal votes offered
for the commissiostd members and rejected.
They also alledged that they expected to prove
an extensive conspiracy among the friends of
the opposite set of claimants, to perpeltftte these
frauds and obtain these illegal votes; that they
i had taken some evidence to establish said fact,
s but had been prevented from completing the
i proofs, because Shere was no law regulating the
mode in which the same should be obtained, or
’ giving compulsory process to compel the atten
r dance of witnesses; and also because the friends
a of the non-commissioned claimants had persua
e ded witnesses not to attend for examination ; and
q had prevented officers from taking depositions by
h intimidation and threats of public prosecution for
‘j so doing; and they asked further time, and the
authori y and direction of the committee to ena
f hie them to compel the taking of ther testimony.
I The non-commissioned claimants denied all
y knowledge of the alladged frauds and illegal
votes; but stated that they had beard of some
- alien votes having been given at Millville, and ad-
T mitted the fact, and also presumed that alien
votes were given in other parts of the State ; hut
believed that there were as many on the one side
Ij as on the other.
e These statements were not completed and laid
e before the committee until the 23d day of Janu-
ary, and it was obvious from an examination of
them, and of the resolution of the House refer
ring the matter, that the committee must pursue
i one of two courses—that they must either make
ea preliminary report, awarding lhe vacant seats to
- one set of claimants until the whole subject
3 could he investigated, and the final right deter
e mined ;■ or proceed to a full and thorough inves
’ tig-alioa of the subject, and decide upon the mer-
its of the whole case at once.
d Eight members of the committee oat of nine
s were in favor of submitting a preliminary report,
I by which the vacant seats would have been filled ;
® hut they differed as to the basis on which that
report should be founded. We entertained the
opinion that it should be based on the legal re
_ turns of the only authority recognized by the
1 laws of New Jersey, as authorized to grant the
f return —that being the highest prirna facie evi
* dence of an election that could he presented—
and which it has ever been the- practice of (Jon
’ gress, and of all other legislative assemblies, to
treat as conclusive in the first instance. And,
’ accordingly, one of our members submitted the
following proposition :
“ Resolved, That this committee will now pro
ceed to ascertain and determine who have the re
turns according to the Constitution of the United
- Slates and the laws of New Jersey, ami will *u
, Ihorize them to occupy the contested seats from
1 that State, until the question of ultimate right can
r be determined.’'
* Other gentlemen of the committee, differing
. with us in opinion, thought that the Executive
r commissions should he entirely overlooked; and
, that it was the doty of the committee to proceed
’ at once to ascertain which party had received a
majority of all votes, good and had, given at the
polls; and were, therefore, entitled to the returns
—and submitted amendments t»tbat effect.
4 This view of the subject we deem utterly f,d
acious; hut time wilt not permit us to enter in
o the a-gument. The consequences resulting
■ rom this novel doctrine, are well illustrated by the
——w w •
scones of disorder and confusion which resulted *
from its application at the present session-scenes
in a high degree discreditable to the House, and
endangering the peace of the country, and which
must greatly impair the confidence of ail rigbC—
thinking people in the perpetuity of our free in
stitutions.
Upon a careful examination of the laws of New
Jersey, we ascertained that the Governor and
Privy Council were mere ministerial officers,
charged with a specified duty, plainly set forth,-
viz; to ascertain and determine which six of the
persons voted for received the greater number of
votes, according to the returns made by the clerks
of the several counties of the State. That tho
individuals who were commissioned by the Gov
ernor of New Jersey as the Representatives of,
that &tate, had received the greatest number of
votes thus returned according to law, was a fact
n* t disputed or denied.
I* i ruling this dilference of opinion, however, to*
exist in the committee as to the basis of a report,-
the mover of the original proposition modified
the same, with the view of reaching the sense
of the committee; and merely proposed, in gen
eral terms, that a preliminary report should be
made, designating the individuals who should
occupy the vacant seats until the ultimate ques
tion of ultimate right could be determined: thus
manifesting a disposition to have the seats filled,,
as the committee and the House might determine,
according to their sense of justice and propriety.
But, from an apprehension, as we presume, that
they could not succeed in the untenable ground
they had taken, that the report should be made
favorable to those who barely obtained a majority
ot all the votes, legal and illegal, given at the
election, the modified resolution was likewise re
sisted ; and a substitute offered, which proposed
to inquire who were entitled to be returned as
members elect: evidently on the ground of good
and had votes; fur when it was proposed to in
sert an amendment which would make the case
turn on the majority of legal votes, such amend
ment was strenuously resisted, and only by the
casting vote of the chairman. This resolution,
as ultimately adopted, was as follows:
“ Resolved, That this committee will now pro
ceed to ascertain which five of the ten individuals
claiming life five vacant seats from New Jersey,
received a majority o! legal votes, and therefore
are duly elected members of the 261 h Congress
from that State, according to the Constitution of
the United States and the laws of New Jersey.”
i bus it will he perceived that the committee •
come to an early determination to investigate iho
ballot boxes, and ascertain who were entitled to
the seals on the ground of having received a ma
jority of legal votes, in which decision we acqui
esced; and, although our opinions were unchan
ged as to the propriety of the views we had ex
pressed, we determined to make no further effort
to procure a result that, in our judgments, every
principle of justice demanded.
We then proceeded to the consideration of ano
ther resolution offered by one of the gentlemen of
the majority, which, as amended and ultimately
adopted, is as follows :
*' Resolved, further, That whilst in the opin- *
ion oi this committee, the certificates of the Gov
ernor of New Jersey are prima facie evidence -
that those who hold them are entitled to seats,
they are not conclusive evidence as to the ulti- -
mate right; and that such certificates, being con
tested, such right must depend on the majority
ot legal votes given in conformity with the Con
stitution of the United States and the laws of
New Jersey.”
On this resolution a division was called for, to
wit ; on the first branch as follows:
Resolved, further. That whilst in the opin- -
ion of this committee the certificates of the Gov- -
ernorofNew Jersey are prima facie evidence
that those who hold them are entitled te seats,
they are not conclusive evidence as to the ulti
mate right.”
And those who have paid much attention to
the progress of this question, both in the House
and the country, will perhaps be somewhat ama
zed to hear that this proposition, for which alone
we had contended in the House, and the defeat of
which had caused a sovereign Slate in this Union
to he deprived of five-sixths of her representation
on the floor of Congress, and had excited the pub
lic mind in every part of the confederacy, met,
with the unanimous sanction of the committee.
i he resolutions, as adopted, were communica
ted to all the parties engaged in the contest un -
der the following resolution :
“ Resolved , That the foreg ring resolutions be
communicated to each of the claimants to the
vacant seats from the State of New Jersey, and
that this committee will hear them at their com
mittee room on the 29th day of January, instant,
at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, on the subject of the
measures which should be adopted to obtain the
evidence applicable to inquiry before the commit
tee.”
Accordingly, on the 20th of January, the par
ties appeared before the committee, and there was
a likelihood that after fifteen days of lime and la
bor s pent by the committee before they could
arrive at any conclusion, we should at once pro
ceed, in pursuance of these resolutions, to ascer- -
tain which of the five of the ten individuals claim
ing seats now had a majority of legal votes, and '
were therefore duly elected members of Congress,
when very unexpectedly to the undersigned, the
; chairman of the committee moved a reconsiders-*
tion of resolutions, wish a view- to offer
substitutes. They were reconsidered accordingly,
again discussed, and laid on the tablet, and the
chairman introduced substitutes which were
amended, modified, and discussed, and were final
ly adopted, after two days of additional labor, and
are as follows:
“ Resolved, That the credentials of the Go
vernor of New Jejsey are prima facie evidence
that they who hold them are entitled to seats,
bu:, being questioned on ths ground that all the
votes polled were not counted, this committee -
will now proceed to inquire and ascertain who of
the ten claimants for the five contested seats, re- -
ceived the greatest number of votes polled in «
conformity with the laws of New Jersey, attho<
late election for members of Congress in that
State.
“ Resolved, That all votes received by author!
zed officers acting ia conformity with the taws,- •
prima facie legal; bat it being alledged, and of
fered to be sustained by evidence, that plurali
ties were obtained by means of illegal votes and
frauds perpetrated on the ballot-box, this com
mittee will admit evidence as to the truth of
these allegations, ami inquire who of the claim
ants received the greatest number of legal votes
in conformity with the Constitution of the Uni
ted States aad the laws of New Jersey, and
therefore are entitled to occupy, as members efff
the 26tb Congress, the five contested seats from
that Stale.
“ That the adoption of the above •
resolutions does not preclud ? this committee from .
refutng the feels and testimony, with its opin- -
ions t.*ereoßv for the consideration of the House,-,
at any stage of its proceedings that it may deem
it expedienfclo do so.
“ Resbtved, That a copy of the foregoing res
olutions be communicated to each of the .claim--
