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) p r half uunce. ; German coin, ’'alue 75 cent?. § ? Q fe 3 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.

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, 1 L.

The Suppressed Report Os the minority of the Committee on Elections, on the New Jersey case,- presented to the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States, March 10, 1 840— and cun tniry to all precedent, excluded from the 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--
